45. FINALLY..... you are 100% Kansan if........... You actually understand these jokes. Yup..

I think I did the living in Kansas thing right. :3

It's been overcast and rainy off and on here today, and seems to be fitting.

I'm a bit down, and can't keep myself focused on much of anything. Having a bit of a hard time keeping thoughts out of my mind. Driving me crazy.

Anyway, fun stuff. I got the small article written up for my home town paper a few minutes ago, and it has been emailed across the state. It will be in tomorrow's paper, along with a few of the pictures from the 4th. I can't wait for family to send me a copy of that paper. It's actually the only one that I've really looked forward to getting since I left home.

I'm in the home stretch for classes finally. Two final projects finished and submitted, one left to go. I have until next Sunday to finish it, so I should be alright. I just have to get it all pulled together now.

Going to try and work on that for a bit, hopefully I can stay focused on it long enough to make some progress.

Those of you that have been following for a bit know that I went home and had some fun suiting over the 4th. Well, the fun didn't end when I got home.

I just got a call from my grandma a little bit ago, and they're putting a few of the pictures from the dance in my home town paper. That's pretty exciting by itself. Everybody at home reads the thing.

But wait there's more!

She didn't just want to tell me that, she wanted to tell me that they would like a small article from me about why I was in the suit. You know the standard stuff. How'd you find? Why is it fun? Where does it start?

Seriously?

I get to write a small paper article about who I am, and everybody back home is going to see it. Totally excited. Now I just have to figure out what to write. I have until Sunday night, so there's time.

Where to start?

Well, I'm back home. I have been since yesterday actually.

The last two days of my trip were easily better than the first. Just vegged out for most of the 4th, though I did take a trip down to the lake to get some photos. I haven't been to that lake in years now, but I spent a lot of time there during high school. Snapped some pictures, and took the time to think while I didn't have anything else to distract me. It was time well spent.

Got back to the house after that and then headed down to the park. There was a BBQ going with free dogs and burgers. You really can't turn that one down. It was blazing hot that day, so I didn't take my suit down. I probably should have though, it would have been a blast to wander around at that time. Lots of people, and kids everywhere to entertain.

Hung around until dark, and then drove south of town a ways to get a good view of the fireworks. That was depressing. The show lasted less than 20 minutes, and most of that was spent waiting for the next shot. The finale was exciting, but there was literally nothing before that.

There was a storm in the background though, and it was putting on a very nice light show for us. I started taking pictures of the lightning and the rain instead of watching the fireworks after a while. It was just more entertaining.

Hung out with my brother after that, and it got crazy like we always do. We ended up in an epic battle with mortar grenades, ladybugs, and firecrackers. We can't be left unsupervised...ever. Things never stay calm when that happens. It was a lot of fun though, and I would do it all over again in a heart beat.

My brother took off with some of his friends, and I chilled with my dad for another hour or so before I crashed for the night.

Got up early the next morning, rounded up my stuff and got back on the road. I ended up driving in and out of rain all the way across the state, but that's alright. I've been doing it for a lot of years, and I honestly <3 it. Got home and seriously vegged the rest of the night.

A perfect end to a great trip.

I've been pretty quiet about this weekend so far, sorry about that.

I'm currently in the SW corner of Kansas, pretty much middle of nowhere, visiting my brother who has been with the Navy for the last two years. He finally got some leave time that I can see him for.

Six hour trip across the state to stay with my mom and stepdad. I got in my suit before me and my brother took off, and everybody had a good time. It's the first time any of them have seen the suit, and they were rolling from the fun. I really thought my stepdad was going to break for a while there.

Me and my brother made the trip back to my hometown from there, about an hour and a half back east. We drove around for a bit, visiting people he hasn't seen in a while, and then we headed down to the street dance. I wore my suit down to it, and my brother took pictures for me. It was a blast, everybody loved it. <3

I met another fur from the area too, a young kid. He caught up with me as I was leaving the dance, and literally ran me down on the street. We sat and talked for a bit about the fandom, and this and that. It was a good time, and I think we were both surprised to see another furry in this tiny little town.

Tomorrow is explosions and booze day, so who knows what's going to happen. So far it's been a pretty solid weekend.

So I followed a storm across the state today, as a friend was coming home.

This thing dumped tornadoes, massive rain that actually made them stop several times, and greatly extended the length of the drive home.

What did it do when it finally hit Lawrence?

It died

SERIOUSLY?!?!?!?!?!

I love storms. Probably in a very unhealthy way now that I stop and think about it, but I still love them.

I raced around town trying to get some decent pictures and videos of the lightning, but my phone doesn't do so well with that kind of thing.

There's no thunder, no rain, no wind. Nothing. I'm so sad right now. All I wanted was a great storm to finish out this weekend.

Oh well. There will be plenty more. It's Kansas after all.

:-D

Take a look and a read here

How often do the people you work with simply drive you nuts?

It happens pretty frequently here, and this morning I just can't stand it. It's been a rough week, and today it just kinda rubs me the wrong way.

To preface, I have absolutely no issue with having fun at work. It's part of the day, and if you don't have a little fun people will explode, and somebody will bring a gun in.

Nobody wants that.

What's killing me this morning is the fact that the entire office, minus me, is standing in the front of the store bullshitting and standing around. Literally, the entire store. I don't consider myself an extremely dedicated employee, but this was frustrating to see. Mainly because my boss has been jumping down my throat about productivity. How exactly is this productive?

Grrrrrrrrr *chews on random computer pieces*

Small rant, had to get that out. I feel better now.

Carry on now people! Nothing more to see here!

I got me a friend here,  tathi, that is finally getting a real opportunity for herself. Everybody wants a chance at their dreams right? Well give her a shot. She's taking commissions to get earn the money to get to a jockey school interview.

The journal is here, http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/...../#cid:11301567

This has been a great way for spring to come rolling in, 2 inches of snow so far and 5 -7 more on the way. Winter is not ready to be gone, and I'm totally okay with that.

Spent the night with  paprika and  andythestallion, and it was a blast. Went out to 23rd St. Brewery and had an awesome meal. Picked up a couple cases of Bud Light on the way home, and finished the night off right.

Beer and snow lead to many great activities. The beer itself is still sitting on the deck. Why take up space in the fridge right? After finishing off the first case, we went for a walk in the snow. Drunken snow angels resulted.

I had to hunt my keys down this morning, which wasn't nearly as much fun as losing them. Good thing I had that snow angel as a marker to go back to.

Planning some more snow romps here shortly, I can't wait. Got the big coat, a replacement pair of pants, and we're trying to find a sled. *dances around excitedly*

I thought I was going to get lucky and manage to stay away from the nasty bug going around down here. I was wrong.

I woke up in the middle of the night yesterday, freezing. So I knew I had the fever. No big deal, take some fever reducer, pile on the blankets and crawl back into bed. Felt good in the morning, but it was short lived. I spent most of yesterday at work freezing and bundled up in my coat.

Had a couple of friends over for dinner, who I'm pretty sure got me sick to begin with :-P.

Now I'm sitting at work, in my coat, trying to get passed all of the achyness, so I can get some work done. Luckily it's slow right now, so there's no reason for me to be moving to fast. I'm sticking to my meds and practically drowning myself in liquids, so it shouldn't last more than a couple days.

Seriously looking forward to the end of the work day though.

Looking at my page recently, and I was realized I was quickly approaching 1,000 pageviews. Well, this morning it happened, 1,001 pageviews. I really don't know what to say.

Gotta say thanks to the people that actually stick around and helped me hit this mark. I don't think I do much to warrant views, but the number says I'm wrong. :P

Maybe I'll find something to do in the future to be worthy of those pageviews. For now though, here's a journal.

<3

Why is a person's handwriting still considered important? When was the last time that any of us wrote anything that was really important by hand? Honestly, I can't think of the last time that I wrote anything that was seen by anybody other than myself with my own hands. It's all done on computers.

When I need to get in touch with somebody, I don't write a letter. I sit down and write an email. There is no hand documentation for any of the work I do at my job. All of the notes, and labor is recorded in the computer system. Nobody in my tech shop has any idea what my handwriting actually look like.

Where does a random thought like this come from? You can thank this last weekend. I do NOT like Valentine's Day, but that's a different journal for a different time. I spent a good portion of the weekend filling pages full of thoughts, ideas, and feelings surrounding this holiday. Four pages, front and back, to be exact. I wrote it by hand, and I have no idea why. One thing I did notice with all of the writing though, is that I have spent a lot of time perfecting my handwriting.

It's a very precise style based on what I've picked up through the years. Things that I just started doing randomly with my letters, and started applying it on purpose. I don't spend a ridiculous amount of time with anything I write, but it flows constantly. It's easily legible, and very close to pretty.

But what does it matter?

Nobody is ever going to see what I wrote over the weekend, and I have no reason to apply my writing beyond my own signature. Writing used to be important, because everything was done by hand. Now, not so much.

..What a joke.

How superficial have we become as a species? I honestly hate listening to the radio, or watching TV, because everything that you see and hear is praying on the insecurities of the viewers or listeners. It's infuriating.

For example, I was driving home last night, happily listening to extremely late night/very early morning radio, and I heard the same commercial three time. The commercial I heard? Some random drug guaranteeing to make a man bigger. Sex has become a far too important staple in people's lives.

Don't get me wrong, satisfying your partner is always a good thing, but if you are so worried about yourself and your performance to be reaching for these drugs there are other issues in your life that need to be addressed. The fact that these markets are continuing to grow, and are amazingly profitable, speaks of the insecurities that we have created in the masses of our society.

This is just one example that is targeted at men. I'm well aware of the fact that women in our society are under much more scrutiny, and have more products targeted at insecurities. Just look at your news stands and you'll see celebrities and models that are supposed to be idolized by the masses. Theses are the people that we are supposed to look up to for guidance in our own lifestyles? Yeah right. You can't live up to the expectations set by these individuals, but if somebody doesn't fit that mold they are immediately branded an outcast in some fashion.

Just a bit of a rant from me, sparked by 5am driving, that I needed to vent a bit. For those that read, that's my view.

TL;DR

We're a bunch of superficial idiots that are too bent out of shape over the physical representations of ourselves to the rest of the world to fully understand who we are and what is important in our lives.

The Rules: This is fun to do. Just read the 'offense' and if you've done it, you owe that fine.
You don't have to confess your answers, just the amount of your fine.
NOTE: fines to be added once, not for how ever many times you have done it. And be honest.

people are bad at it.

Today was one of those days where the only good reason to be driving in the snow would be to get your ass home. That said, I did not have a good reason to be driving in the snow. I was driving my happy wolf self over to a friend's house so we could go and catch Avatar in IMAX!!! (Awesome by the way)

It was falling, blowing snow. There was 2 - 3 inches on the ground when I left. People in the big trucks whizzing by me as I get on the highway. Normally, it's a 30 minute drive to get there, but it took me right around an hour. My top speed on the way out was 45 and there were people flying by me like I was standing still.

I did see two of the trucks that flew by me as I was leaving town in the ditch about half way there. Greatest part, they were off the road in the same place in opposite ditches. I laughed as I drove by. No sympathy.

On top of people driving like that, I had people tailgating me, and others that were simply pushing me into the loose snow on the shoulder.

Where did people get the impression that this was the proper way to drive in these conditions? Seriously, it was beyond pathetic that this is what I was encountering. Common sense says to slow your ass down when you can't see where you're going. Right?

That's my thought of the moment, and it's almost 3 am. I think I might need to go to bed. Just needed to get this out before it completely escaped my A.D.D. infected mind. Now I think this snow covered wolf is going to try and get some rest.

Has absolutely no idea how it's supposed to work.

This has been an interesting year, to say the least. I've had ups and downs, and downs and downs, and some more ups here recently, but karma is really confused at this point.

I took my car into the shop today. I hit 100,000 miles about a month ago, and just haven't had time to get it in. I was expecting some repairs being needed, but nothing close to what was needed.

On top of the normal plugs, wires, and flushes for the system the timing belt needed to be replaced about 30,000 miles ago. The new belt and the component kit for it was around $500 plus the 8 hours of labor for it at $80/hour. That's $1,140 right from the get go. Add to that, that the water pump is leaking and needs to be replaced, $120. Then everything else that it went in for to begin with and we're at $1,521.31.

Apparently I've been a bad puppy this year, because that's all my Christmas fun out the window, as well as much fun in the near future. On the plus side, I shouldn't have to do any kind of serious maintenance on my car for the rest of the time that I own it, since everything is going to be more or less brand new now.

I don't need money, or support, or help getting through the rest of the month. That's not what the journal is about. Just needed to vent a bit here because I'm starting to get seriously frustrated with the way things have gone lately, and are continuing for me.

To those that actually keep an eye on my journal here, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. A new year starts in two weeks, maybe it will all turn around then.

Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, cleverly answer these questions. Try not to repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think! Repost as "my life according to (band name)"

To start with, the Eagles have terrible song titles for this thing. So I had to pick songs that were close, and a lot of them are actually based on lyrics as much as the title. Sorry to be confusing. >.<

If it doesn't seem to make sense, look up the song and check the lyrics. It'll probably make a difference.

One big holiday down, one more to go. I just wonder what everybody expects the most from the upcoming Christmas celebration? What is the one thing that you look forward to every year, more than anything else?

With Christmas, all I really want is to see my family. If I'm lucky, I get to see them once a year. This year, I wasn't lucky on Christmas, so I have a big bowl of Ramen Noodles to look forward to. I work Christmas Eve and then get a few days off, so I could go home. My mom works Christmas Eve and Christmas Day though, so I really wouldn't get to spend any time with the family.

It may be for the best.

My brother is getting his shore leave over New Year's so I'm taking days off so I can make a full week of the end of the year. I haven't seen him in almost a year and a half, and there are few people in the world more important to me than he is. It's weird looking at it now, because it was all so different just a few years ago. He's 4 years younger than me, and we were never really close. Since we both left home we've grown so close, and we hardly ever talk. It's hard to explain I guess, but I can't wait to see him again. It's going to be the highlight of my year. There won't be anything that can compete with that.

That's what I'm looking forward to. Go ahead, let me know what you want from your holidays.

Well...too damn much has been happening lately, and very little of it is good right now.

I have managed to turn my entire would upside-down, which is never a good thing. I figure it was way passed due, considering the way my life and luck tend to work at least.

In the last two weeks I've managed to destroy a couple of friendships, and I don't know whether or not my personal relationship is going to continue much longer. The worst part, is that it all stems from me being an idiot. Go me!?

I'm not giving details here, they don't need to be known to those not involved, but I've ruined a great friendship that I will likely never get back. It's gone, I killed it. It's to the point where just my name is enough to get them all kinds of pissed off. It's a justified, I deserve every bit of it.

I fucked things up with my best friend too, and like I said, I may never get to see them again. At this point, I'm lucky I can even talk to them. I'm doing everything I can to fix that mess, but I have a feeling it's going to stay broken. All I can do is try to put a patch over and hope that it holds.

And my relationship, oi. It scares me right now. My mate means the world to me, and I'm honestly terrified that I'm going to lose her. I'm doing everything I can to keep her in my life, but in the end the choice isn't mine. I try to keep her close while she decides what she wants, but it hurts. I want her in my life, but I want her to be happy. It's been a long time since I've had this kind of conflict with myself, and honestly I don't know what choices I should make.

I hate the feeling of not having control. I've always had control of my life, I've made the decisions about what is happening. Right now though, I don't have that. I'm waiting on somebody else to decide what my future holds, and whether or not everything we've been planning up to now is even still in the picture.

<emo>
I spend a lot of time struggling with who I am. It has me sitting on the edge of a my terrible depressions more often that I want to admit. Regardless of how I look to my friends, I'm fighting with myself. With everything that is happening I'm lucky to be able to roll out of bed in the morning.

I drag myself through my days at work, trying to keep my mind filled with something other than the messes I've created. When I get home, my mind has nothing to do but race through everything that's happened, everything that could happen, and what is most likely to happen.

Considering who I am, I'm surprised that my body isn't covered in a million cuts right now. It's so tempting, and nobody would ever know unless I showed them. I love pain, in any form. I torment myself mentally because it's an awesome release, but right now all I'm getting is torment from my emotions and I need something else. My body hates me, so I can't work out, which is what I used for so many years when things got dark. There are only so many people that I can talk to, and most of them wouldn't understand. So I simply sit with everything that is happening, and let my mind destroy me. I let it consume who I am a little more every day, and I force myself to get out of bed. Eventually, I'm going to explode.
</emo>

Anyway...that's a quick rundown of my life, and that shit that I'm going through. Those that are involved know the hell that I'm putting them through, and I can't apologize enough for what I've done, and what it's doing to them. I just want it all to be resolved. I'm tired of hurting like this, with no way to release it. I'm tired of seeing my friends and my mate in pain because of what I've done.

I just want resolution. I just want my life back. I want them to have their lives back.

Okay, so it's one day closer to Halloween which is awesome. That is not the greatness of the day, but it does make me a happy wolf.

The happiness of the day comes because I have finally paid off my car! *does a happy dance*

So I now have a little bit more money every month for whatever I feel like, and I have plenty of ways to spend it. Maybe I'll go and be irresponsible with it for a while, I don't know.

Anyway, I just needed to make sure this happy news was out and about in the world. I'll get the lien release next week and I'll go get the title to make it all official.

Now to ruin my day and go do homework....*shrugs*

This was a mess of a day, and it didn't waste anytime getting started.

30 minutes after getting to work, I find out that one of our employees has been laid off. He was heading home before 11 o'clock. Even with business as slow as it has been, that's unusual.

I went to meet another fur for lunch, and I he didn't show. I talked to him later and he forgot to set his alarm. I can't really hold that against the guy, since I don't know how often I've done that. We're making it up next week, so it's all good.

I spent the afternoon laughing at a computer that wanted to have Windows 7 installed, but was only sporting 512 MB of RAMBUS memory. We can't even order this stuff anymore.

After I brought the hysterical laughter under control, I got to cringe at the site of two computers that were so infected with viruses I couldn't even get them to boot. The names that these creators are coming up with for the scareware is getting a little more creative. I came across my first instance of the "Windows Protection Suite" today. It uses the same basic layout of "Windows Police Pro" though, so it's pretty easy to spot.

I also got to put my hands on a Windows ME machine again. I cringed just looking at the thing. I was honestly shocked that it was still running, and spent a good amount of time just wondering how it was possible.

Then I came home.....

I discovered that the exterminators were in my apartment today. How did I know? All of my kitchen cabinets were swung open, and a nice little note was left on my sink. So, now I have no clean dishes and the majority of the food in my cabinets has to be thrown away. So much for any kind of baking or breakfast for a while. Not to mention opened spice bottles. I think I have one canister of nutmeg that is safe. >.>

How's that for kicking off the weekend?

Reposting from my friend  Binki

I have a friend in extreme need of money. He is about to lose his place to live and not have a place to live he need 900. I told him that I would post a message for him and see if maybe we could help him out. I don't know if anyone can help or is willing to help but I figured it's worth a try. If you want to repost this on your account feel free too. He got served a eviction notice a couple days ago. His email address for paypal is
