I'm back!
Posted 2 years agoSo only a few people know this, but a few years ago, I got arrested, I spent a whole year in jail fighting for my case since my public pretender decided she wasn't going to work for me and be little more than a middle man for the A.D.A. who was prosecuting me, there is so much to unpack here and I wont go into everything, but I will say that my year in Jail was the worst of my life, I have seen gang bangers grievously injure and even kill others over the most petty of reasons, I have seen a guy hopped up on Fentanyl laced meth literally dig another guys eyes out just because the victim had owed him money.
But aside from that, my own suffering was continual, From the moment I arrived to Oklahoma County jail, I was handcuffed to a bench for eight hours of a process that took maybe fifteen minutes total, then they sent me to suicide watch on the thirteenth floor (or twelfth, I forget exactly) where I was given what inmates refer to as a Turtle suit, this is a smock that covers only the front half of your body and is essentially a trash back lined with cheap toilette paper, I was given no actual toilette paper, no mat to sleep on, no blanket or sheet, just my naked self and a hard steel bunk in a concrete cell that was covered with feces and rust.
Two weeks later the therapist finally came to see me and asked me if I was still feeling suicidal.
Why yes, I've been suicidal since I was twelve, and shoving me into a cell covered in human excrement while but ass naked and checking on me every half hour is not going to do me any favors, but hey, I'm a criminal, so I deserve this treatment, right?
After talking to the counselor, I finally get a set of oranges, Class A Jail clothes you see in any T.V. show or movie, these are basically nursing scrubs that say "County Sherrif" or "Inmate" on the back of the shirt, but what I wasn't given was a shower, two weeks without a shower and they shove me into a cell with two other people, both of them gang members and vocal about everything, I had to wait two more days before they let us off of lock down to take a shower, and even then, I couldn't stand it, the water in county jail has one temperature, boiling hot, and at home I take luke warm showers at best, so I was in and out in under two minutes each time because the water was blistering hot, aside from that however, it felt good to finally be able to take a shower.
The showers in jail are not the massive community showers you see in prison movies, they have two rows of single showers lined against one wall, one set of four individual showers on the bottom run, and a second set of four right on top of them on the top run, a shower curtain stops 80 something people from seeing you naked, but by in large, only one of the showers per run is in use at any given time.
After getting used to my new living situation, I found that everything on the canteen, a store that you can buy hygiene, food, and some other items, like a small am/fm radio, has everything listed at three times the street price, A single pack of ramen was 96 cents, a dollar for a pack of ramen, this alone was outrageous, but then you realize that county jail doesn't try to feed you properly, every day we had either bland beans, white rice, a combination of the two, or bologna sandwiches, sometimes flavorless spaghetti or something equally as bad and in such small proportions that even if you ate everything they gave you )which was not much) you were still hungry all day.
Because I had no help at all from the outside, no family or friends to support me, I had only what the county jail gave to me, working on a county diet I lost 140 pounds and went from a 6x (county sizes) to a 3x, which is a 2x in regular size shirts, all this happened in the year that I had spent in county jail, fighting for myself, here is some advice on this front for anyone who has a friend or family member in jail,
DO NOT LET THEM FIGHT THEIR CASE ALONE!
By taking on the county by yourself, it shows them that they can fuck you over in every way possible, and because of this, they will fuck you over as much as they can, simply because they will get away with it because no one but you is calling them out on their bullshit, this is unfortunate, but is the truth, the two best things you can do if you're arrested is.
1. Hire a lawyer, the more pricy, the better.
even if you can't afford the insane prices of a good lawyer, he/she will not let the county screw you over and will fight for your case to get the best possible outcome .
2. Find a family member to bond you out.
Bonding out is paying money to the county to have you released into the world again, this usually lets people get back to their jobs so they can pay bills, you still have to show up to court on their dates, but being bonded out means you are working on your time, not the counties.
While not bonded out, the county will let you sit for months in a cell with two other people, doing everything you can to fight off black mold, bed bugs, insane heat 130+ during the summer, because the county jail has the heater on in the summer with no ventilation, and the AC on in the winter, cockroaches and too hot water, all of this is designed to either make you spend money you likely don't have, or suffer in a Russian Gulag that is Oklahoma county jail, since I had absolutely no support at all, I suffered in jail for a whole year, starving and avoiding fights with gang members, even if that gang member is in the wrong, if you start shit with him, he will bring his homeboys with him and they will "Take you to court" which pretty much means you're fighting a six or more on one fight.
Most days in county are lock down days, they let you out into the pod from your cell only three times a week, and even then, only for two hours for "Rec time" where you can get cigarettes, drugs, pay bills, take showers, and move about in a larger windowless room where the lights are always on, what fun to hear people shouting, playing cards or dominoes, and having all that sound reverberate off the walls and amplify, each time I went out only gave me a headache.
Four months into my incarceration at county, something happened with my feet, this had begun before I got arrested, and both the hospital and a foot doctor couldn't find out what was wrong with me, but I woke up one morning screaming my head off, it happened again while I was in jail, I have gout, and have had gout since I was twenty five years old, thanks to my copious drinking of mountain dew, but this was not a gout attack, I still don't know what it was, but it was a constant pain that prevented me from walking for seven months straight. I had to have help getting to the toilette and help to the other end of the pod just to take a shower.
While suffering from whatever it was, I filled out medical requests twice a day, every day for seven months straight just to see the doctor, who only once sent someone down to collect me to medical, but through some bullshit, they were not allowed to bring a wheelchair into the pod, keep in mind that I can't walk at all, and there were many a night that I cried myself to sleep because the pain was terrible, it was so bad that my foot started to turn grey, necrosis was starting to set in, whatever it was, was putting my life in jeopardy, and still they ignored me for months, my cellies, (cell mates) even used our in cell wall phone to call up to medical to tell them to come and get me, and because I was literally unable to walk out of my cell, they left me in there, they fucking turned around and left me in the cell to suffer, it wasn't until an attorney that was also on the pod had filled out a letter on my behalf to the A.C.L.U. that they did anything, seven months of ignoring me, they decided it was time to put me on an anti-depressant, not pain meds, not take an x-ray, not diagnose why my feet (both at this point) are in such constant, not chronic, but constant pain, they decide to put me on an anti-depressant.
Finally, after a year of fighting my own case by myself, suffering a crippling medical condition, and learning the inmate behavior, I finally signed, and was sentenced to four years in prison, they were not comming down off of four, even though I could have had probation if I had an actual attorney on my pay roll.
Two weeks later, I "pulled chain" which means I transferred from jail, to prison, where I spent the first few months at a medium security prison, big chain fences, lots of razor wire, patrol cars, cameras, the works, then I had to pull chain again to go to a minimum yard where the only thing keeping the inmates in was a sign posted every fifty feet saying "Inmates not allowed beyond this point" where I spent the next three years of my time, getting to know a few good guys, and many, many assholes.
I had no respect for gang members before I went to prison, but after seeing the endless list of stupid and petty things they get violent for, I lost even more that I didn't know I had, maybe it was the expectation that they could earn my respect by actions, but no, the overwhelming vast majority of gang members are psychologically still in their early teens, while chronologically, they are 30-40 years old and still think that holding their junk while talking about the women they supposedly love and referring to them as "My bitch" is somehow cool.
Every day I saw things that are so stupid, so petty, and so outright bad that it left me losing what little faith I had in humanity, racism is more prevalent in prison than it is anywhere else in the U.S. and that's because outside of prison, no one is racist any more, but you put these morons behind bars and you'll get "Yeah I'm white, and I'll fight."
SO all I really did in prison was keep my head down, read a ton of books, write several that eventually I will put to digital and edit the hell out of, and play D&D with some nerds.
But aside from that, my own suffering was continual, From the moment I arrived to Oklahoma County jail, I was handcuffed to a bench for eight hours of a process that took maybe fifteen minutes total, then they sent me to suicide watch on the thirteenth floor (or twelfth, I forget exactly) where I was given what inmates refer to as a Turtle suit, this is a smock that covers only the front half of your body and is essentially a trash back lined with cheap toilette paper, I was given no actual toilette paper, no mat to sleep on, no blanket or sheet, just my naked self and a hard steel bunk in a concrete cell that was covered with feces and rust.

New home
Posted 7 years agoOver the past few weeks I've been packing up and moving into a new home, we finally got the internet working today and the lack of internet wasn't as bad as I thought, since I had a backlog of anime to watch xD but the new place is really nice, save a few minor things.
I had to move out of the last place since I had a laundry list of complaints that never got fixed in the seven years that I lived there.
Starting with field mice, when
vixiesnow lived with me, she had a pet lizard who we fed the mice to, no problem there.
But the problems just kept growing, from the mice, to black mold, no insulation in the building, that last one I found out when they replaced the windows and there was nothing between the bricks and the drywall, to the air conditioner that could never even get cold, the high electric bills (350-400 a month during summer trying not to die) on top of that, the lady behind me had roaches, and she got evicted for it, so they came over to my place, I spent a ton of money trying to battle them, but it was just too damn hot to really kill them all.
So I had to cut my loses, I cleaned what I could, making sure no little bastards came with me, and I sent everything cleaned over to my mothers house so I wouldn't have to clean them again.
I had to throw away all of my furniture and many other things that I have had for years because I couldn't clean it well enough, the infestation was bad and I was running out of money to spend on roach killing sprays.
So I made a deal with my mother, I would move in with her in her new place to keep her company (which allows me to get a job not far away, walking distance) and I get an air conditioned room.
The past week or so we've been packing up her house to move into this place, my everything hurt for days, and my pale sunless skin is now red from being sunburnt.
At least now I'm out of the tornado city.

Lost in Space
Posted 7 years agoI just finished the first episode from the new lost in space t.v. show.
And while I am not a fan of retconning older characters (I.E. The Last Jedi) Turning the Robinson father into a soldier, from a professor.
Making Maureen a MD
And making Dr. Smith female
The Robot got a bad-ass upgrade however, more mobile, advanced looking and probably more capable.
As I am no fan of retconning characters, I am put off by "why did they change this when they didn't have to." However, I like the idea of the Robinson father as a soldier, if a few minor changes to characters are my only complaints then this show should be worth watching.

Of course I don't know what's going on.
Posted 8 years agoNo one ever tells me anything, I had to find out from a third party vague facebook post that my mom was taken to the ER and had a cancer scare, you'd think someone would cal me, or even text me to let me know about this kind of shit, but no, I find out through someone who tagged my mom in a post that she's being sent to the OR.
I'm really worried.

What if?
Posted 11 years ago Question: why do we talk out loud when we know we're alone?
Conjecture: because we know we're not.
Evolution perfects survival skills.
There are perfect hunters.
There is perfect defense.
Question: why is there no such thing as perfect hiding?
Answer: how would you know?
Logically, if evolution were to perfect a creature whose primary skill were to hide from view,
how could you know it existed?
It could be with us every second and we would never know.
How would you detect it? Even sense it?
Except in those moments when for no clear reason, you choose to speak aloud.
What would such a creature want? What would it do?
What if it's not you you're talking to?
Proposition: what if no one is ever alone?
What if every single living being has a companion?
A silent passenger—a shadow?
What if the prickle on the back of your neck is the breath of something close behind you?
You wake up—or you think you do—and there's someone in the dark,
someone close. Or you think there might be.
So you sit up, and turn on the light.
And the room looks different at night.
It ticks and creaks and breathes.
And you tell yourself there's nobody there.
Nobody watching, nobody listening. Nobody there at all.
And you very nearly believe it. You really, really, try. And then
A hand reaches out fom under your bed.

The future is now!
Posted 11 years agoSo, it's 2015 and you guys think that Back to the Future and Star Trek didn't predict this?
"But they had hover boards!" you say, well, so do we.
https://www.kickstarter.com/…/hen.....worlds-firs…
"But the kids didn't like to play games where you use your hands on a controller."
Neither does today's kids.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinect
"But they have flying cars man! flying, cars!"
And yet again, so do we.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZB4y5j1FpY
Sci-fi (science fiction) movies and shows have been accurately predicting the future since the 60's (at least)
Star Trek alone has given us many things like the idea's for
cellular phones http://www.slipperybrick.com/wp-con.....01/trekcom.jpg
iPad's (and their Microsoft competition.) http://1.bp.blogspot.com/…/…/dd...../TNG+Apple.png
transparent aluminum ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxynitride )
The Tri-corder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVCUC2BuGc0
Do you remember Geordi LaForge form Star trek: The Next Generation?
Well, modern science has created an implant and visor to help blind people see
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bh3MaoPVdNM
Talking computers? we have Siri in our phones, and voice recognition software build into most 64-bit operating systems (you can set it up manually if you wish)
The original series' Uhura had a wireless ear piece to communicate with, sound familiar? it should, we call it Bluetooth.
Video chatting, Star trek made this popular in the 60's and it stayed more popular in the 80's and 90's during the newer shows,
Today, we have Skype, and various other VOIP (voice over internet protocol) servers that allow us to see the person we're calling
The newer smart phones come equipped with two camera's one of them front facing for just that purpose (and selfies)
NASA is also working on a warp drive, that's right ladies and gents, light speed travel (or at least, very nearly)
http://www.nasa.gov/…/glenn/techn.....rpstat_prt.htm
Automatic doors? they're everywhere now!
there are several prime examples of sci-fi tech come true, people don't seem to notice that we ARE living in the future that people in the 80's dreamed about
and you don't realize how common or everyday this future tech is being used, twenty years ago, you would be an alien for talking via Bluetooth, or face time with a friend on your cell

Posted 11 years agoFirst off on my rant list, an oldie but goldie.
!. I am sick and tired of doing RBG's and getting no where, it's liek any time I'm on either Horde or Alliance side, nobody knows how to fucking win a BG, with WSG (War-song Gulch) it's a simple capture the flag game, guess what, kill the flag carrier!! what's that? he has a healer, well kill that bitch first!!
Defend our flag carrier! three caps and we win, why can't people seem to be able to actually do anything that you are supposed to in Battle Grounds?! seriously! ten years of this shit and people still have no fucking clue how to BG.
I could speak volumes of why I left a year ago, I diss like the Mists of Pandaria expansion with a passion, I hate it, but I can't just give up on WoW, namely because of the past ten years that I've dedicated to the game, ten years, thousands of dollars, every class well geared at 90 (thanks mostly to the isle of time, the only reason I returned, well, that and to keep my toons)
The daylies, the grinding levels, the same mechanics for dungeons and raids, the never ending story grinds to get reputation.
I think, after a decade dedicated to this game, I'm finally at a point where I'm just too burnt out on the old rants and arguments that never seem to get any where.
I thought that by changing servers I would at least find a better raid/pvp group, but on all the servers I play on, nothing seems to change.

New MMO's!!
That's right, I've been playing FFXIV a lot lately, I feel that for me it is a better MMO all around,, I don't know why really, I guess because it's a Final Fantasy game, and I've been in love with the series since I first played the fourth game on the SNES all those years ago.
The only complaint I have, is that a computer I bought last year, isn't powerful enough to run this game, I have all the graphical settings set to minimum and I still have lag.
That's fine though, pretty soon I'm putting together a gaming rig that none of the games I play will be a match for, and another ten years down the road will be nothing even then! mwahahahaha!!!
3.Free to play MMO's
While trying to get out of the warcraft rut that I was in for a while, I played several F2P mmo's like Aika online, and few others, right now I have SW;ToR that I've bene into when not on Final Fantasy or WoW, I even tried the Star Trek Online game for a while, I liked it, but not enough to really get into.
I don't know what I want to do with MMO's these days, I'll continue playing Final Fantasy because I love the gameplay, I love the story, and the differences it has to stand out from others, but I don't think I'll continue my Warcraft Experience past this ten year mark.

Posted 11 years agoMy supervised suicide watch ends tomorrow! I get to go home to my own bed! =3
I'll finally get to paw off and relieve some tension, and molest my mate, hehe.

Sooo...
Posted 11 years agoDue to last nights depressing post that my family thought was a suicide not, I was met up by the majority of my family at my house, yelled at, the police were called, where I was then handcuffed and taken to Griffin memorial mental hospital.
There, I had to wait for an hour to speak to a psychiatrist about my mental health, history, and why I am depressed, after three hours, she put me on Prozac because I used to take it years ago for the same reason, and tried to have me committed.
But all the state help facilities had full beds, they didn't trust me going home alone, I had to convince her to call my mom, so now for the next week, I will be here at my mothers house again, and I will be weekly visiting a shrink.
oh joy.
silver lining, I may yet over come my life long depression, and I got yet another job offer.

Woo!!
Posted 11 years agoI just got back from my in person interview for a job, first was a phone call asking about the job, a few questions, then he gave me the address and asked me to come down =3
I drove up there this morning and filled out the application, made mention that I already had an OSBI background check from a month back, and I could get him a copy if he wanted, he was impressed, but told me they do their own checks, I did my best to show confidence and we shook hands.
I should be expecting a call back within two days, and if not, I'll just annoy them with calls xD

Posted 11 years agoI just checked my e-mail and I got the open Beta invite for elder scrolls online!! =3
A conversation between a pregnant friend and myself.
Posted 11 years agoSteph: My body has been giving me false freaking alarms all day.
Me: Lol, blame your son.
Steph: We have a pelvic bone that opens before contractions start, our gender is so nasty, our pussy sneezes, then leaks, then turns into a black hole with an opposite function, lol.
Steph: Did I make you throw up in your mouth a little? lol
Me: No, actually a black hole consumes until it can no longer contain what it absorbed, then, once it is full, it bursts out streams called polar jets, they are bright rays of super heated atoms that are thrown at sub-light speeds for light years, and they have the ability to destroy planets if one is caught in the crossfire.
Me: so in this context, your pussy isn't that different from a black hole.
Steph: Lmao, that should be a facebook post.
Me: You should post it to your maternity group site.
Steph: I can imagine, lol

The realization.
Posted 12 years agoo.o I'm a house bitch!.. I just spent all day cleaning, doing dishes, spent half an hour cleaning and washing vacuum parts so it will work again, and somehow, I'm looking forward to doing laundry, and when my room mate asked me what to bring home, I just said "stain remover"
Blah!
Posted 12 years agoI hate being sick, I can't eat, I'm so tired but can't sleep, I have a sore throat and ear infection, I have no energy, and I can't eat anything other than ramen noodles (or udon) it hurts to even swallow (yeah yeah, ha ha)
En memorium
Posted 12 years agoI miss you, ten years ago on this day, your light was taken out of my life, leaving me alone in the darkness of depression and loneliness, I can never forget all the thins you've done for me, all the times you cheered me up when I was down, had my back when I was in a fight, or stayed by my side through all of the tough times, and the good ones, like a brother, you were always there to watch my back, and for that, I will always love you, as I will always miss you Marcus.
=3 new favorite game? I think so!
Posted 12 years agoAs a late b-day gift, my ever loving mate 
grontalisv2 got me Dust: An Elysian tale. I made it to the second chapter (so far) and I love the hell out of this game! I have to say "Fidget" is the best game character ever xD
And there's a semi-debate between Gron and I about weather Dust is an arctic fox or a white wolf xD

Posted 12 years agoGoing back to school.
Posted 12 years agoYeah at 2PM today I have an interview with Heritage College to take their Massage therapy class, apparently, I'm already really good at it, and my higher body temp gives me a natural edge with it,maybe I'll do something with it? who knows.
I'm getting old..
Posted 12 years agoI just realized that the old Yahoo! chat rooms are closed, and have been shut down for a while, I spent most of my teenage years in the chat rooms on Yahoo! I started in them back in 95 when I got internet for the first time, and I left in 2001, I've spent over a decade away from the Yahoo! chat rooms that I grew accustomed to role playing in.
Man.. so much of my history was in those rooms, either in Japanese Anime or Role Play rooms, later on I even co-founded one called "Serenity's Tavern" it was mostly for medieval fantasy role play.
Does any one else remember those rooms? not necessarily the ones I was in, but Yahoo! chat rooms, I'm asking because I was just wondering who else spent time in them.

I want to scream and cry, not necissarily in that order.
Posted 12 years agoI just accidentally spilled milk on my laptop, now it work do anything, not even come on, it makes some strange scratching noises, I assume that's the hard drive being fucked over, so yeah, 800 dollar laptop that I might have to toss away because I'm a fucking idiot.
o.o
Posted 12 years agoWhy is it I can remember the lyrics to a million songs, but not why I entered the room.
