Want to help?

We're of course still accepting donations because furries need their booze and shit isn't cheap, so get a hold of me if you're interested. We REALLY REALLY need more people to let their room serve as a sound cushion, at least 3 more rooms would be very helpful. All I need is the name your room is under, either you can acknowledge that in here or email me. One more thing we are lacking is room decor, so if you have the time please help us out. Don't know what to draw? Email me at statiktrax[at]gmail.com and we'll work it out! Also looking into zombie DIY makeup skills to make this really go off. We might need one more bartender as well, so if you're interested you know where to find me. Thank you for your time!

It looks like my Xbox360 will be getting here a day earlier than originally expected according to UPS tracking. I checked out the tracking yesterday and it said it was in Vernon, CA which is about 30 miles from here waiting in transit. I was thinking, no way its gonna take two days to get here from there. Sure enough I check this morning after getting home from work and it says at 5:15 AM in Anaheim "Out for Delivery" ....FUCK YES! The timing couldn't be more perfect considering I'm going to the Midnight release of Grand Theft Auto 4 tonight. I swear to god the first time I'm gonna do when I get this game is jack the nearest decent car and just drive flipping through radio stations like crazy.

Note to self, we're out of beer and herb. Fix that! ^^

Should I get Mario Kart Wii?

I just checked the tracking status on my 360 coming back from Microsoft due to the dreaded Red Ring of Death (RRoD) and it will be here on the 29th. The same day that GTAIV is released! *happy* ^^

So uh, on top of everything else I came down with some kind of food poison. I could use some helpful advice if you have it. What do you think I should be eating now that I will be able to stomach and get my energy back? I feel so damn drained from the whole ordeal.

I had some Subway in the late afternoon, later on that night I went to work. For my meal purchase I only felt like getting a drink because my stomach felt odd for some reason. I drank the yellow poweraide and only could stomach about half of it when I ran to the bathroom to answer nature. When I got home from work I went to bed at 10am feeling really crappy and sure enough I woke up at 2pm with a feeling that something was wrong. I ran to the bathroom and ended up expelling out "both" ends at the same time with no control. I saw a good portion of my Subway and my poweraide in it. After that I cleaned up and went to ask Rocko if he stomached his Subway alright, mid talk I felt the urgent rush for the bathroom and puked some more ...tons of dry heaving, busted out a fucking sweat in the process. I puked about two more times after that, all dry episodes but I swear those hurt the most. I had to call in on work which really got me down because it's not really something I like to do. My ethics are higher than that but I had no energy to get up, let alone deal with elevation without feeling sick. I used the night to my advantage and called it a early night by going to sleep. The crazy thing is I woke up feeling fine, starving even. I thought it passed but last night at work proved me wrong. My stomach was hurting all night, had no real energy, and felt really sick watching my crew eat their meals. So sick that ...

I PUKED IN THE FUCKING AISLE!!!


What the fuck is wrong with me!!!?

- statik

so uh yeah.

What can I say? In a time span of 24 hours I managed to get myself handcuffed by a bunch of pigs who were apparently bored. I posted the whole story on my lj at cubstatik as the username. On top of this I woke up to my xbox greeting me with a Red Ring of Death. I should be pissed but I'm not. At the time, hell yeah I was. Now though? Liquor helps, so does watching There Will Be Blood for my first time. Overall though, time has passed and I've calmed my nerves. I still say fuck cops but at least I'm still smiling in the end.

I really been trying hard to avoid drama at all costs but something recently got me a bit down. I can't name names because that would be fucked up and I'm not about to shit talk anyone.

We made plans though or so I thought. I come to find out earlier today that we agreed on is no more. What really bugged me though is the fact no one came to me before hand to even ask me if I was okay with this. I really get annoyed when people just assume everything is okay and I'll just naturally go with the flow.

What really drives the nail in though is the fact I care about this person a lot. I just thought they be a little more understanding and you know ...give me some kind of say in the situation. The way it was presented felt like "well this is how things are now, sorry, nothing I can do" I'm probably reading into it too much but I needed to get this out of my head for now.

I just found out he's gonna be in my area on April 4th, fuck yes! I've lost count of how many times I've seen him but last time I scored a autographed copy of his last book (yes he wrote a book) and had him sign a oldskool Primus skeeter poster which is so amazing beyond words. This makes me happy, very happy, beyond happy!

Someone pointed this out to me too, Primus track in Streets of Rage 3 the video game:

http://lesofrage.ytmnd.com/

Track is DMV from the Pork Soda album for those who don't know their Primus/Claypool.

In other news, bought some new dnb vinyl just recently. I'm really looking forward to tearing it up at the Califur Dead D[rum] party for you guys. I'll have a flier soon and at the same time unveil the dj name I finally decided on. It wasn't easy to come up with either because I'm picky as hell when it comes to something like that. I had a pretty big list too.

That's about it, off to work shortly to score some more OT for this week cause working for about 18/hr is fucking love and win.

Shout outs to  likeshine , feel better please! And shout outs to  betelguese , good luck with your move and don't damage those man hands, I need those later. *grins*

I've contemplated doing this for years, ...over five years to be specific. In the early stages I thought I never come to this point in my life, a lot of self doubt filled up inside me. Now though? I'm not the same person. I'm not weak when it comes to standing up for what "I" believe in. I don't let anyone tell me to shut up because my voice doesn't matter. No one tells me how I can and cannot live my life either. I had huge hurdles with this in my past tribulations with my parents. The coming out thing only fucked up everything even more. The thought of my parents ever accepting me for who I am and not what they wanted to be use to be some far fetched dream.

A dream that is now a reality.

I haven't seen my mom in over five years now. The last time was back in 2003 for my brother Johnathan's funeral so it wasn't the greatest visit considering the unfortunate circumstances. She will be here in a week from now. I'm nervous as shit, scared out of mind, and the reality of the situation keeps pounding into my skull. I'm full of questions but the two that are bugging me the most are ...what will she think of me? what will she think of Mike?

I want more than anything for everything to go off without a hitch. I'm hoping for the best but for the first time in a long time I'm pretty damn scared. < /emoout>

Ref shit: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/.....8/#cid:2430376

If you don't already know the captain already, get your ass over there and fix that. Cause we all know, you and the captain make it happen. haha

Seriously though, so it looks like I've managed to not only join  betelguese 's army of the undead but I'm now a undead pirate under the wing (need a better comparison here,  likeshine is my only wing) of  captjacksparrow. The two go hand in hand together, am I right?

So there you have it. Expect some shitfuckerly to be planned at future cons and the like. What would be really bad ass is to get this kind of planning for a future furry cruise trip. As long as theres rum, we'll make the most of all our surroundings.

I love FPS games, you can change love to near addicted even. One thing I really enjoy is getting down on some Halo with Noname as one of my teammates on Xbox Live. Drunk/stoned hilarity often comes with this kind of mix.

So to see a game that is based on teamwork and not running gunning while praying you live is right down my alley. A voice reactive computer AI teammate (for when you're gaming alone) is pretty damn impressive too. Just talk into your headset to what you want the computer to do. All sorts of custom options, tons and tons and tons and tons of guns.

To those who are feeling me on this, I'm sure you're aware that if you preordered you were given a special code to unlock two guns that are exclusive. Well Gamestop fucked up when I went to put a preorder in and gave me FIVE codes as well as FIVE dossier booklets. I guess the guy assumed the whole wrapped package was one per a order. So if you need one, all you have to do is post a picture with you holding the game and some kind of sign with your FA name. I'm doing this so I have kind of assurance to myself that I didn't just waste a code. Of course I take some free art too! *grins*

I'm thinking I'm gonna have to try my paws at drawing some art related to this game. Should be fun, could be a total nightmare. Either way, least I tried.

You dont know how hard it is for me right to bite my tongue when it comes to revealing the actual name of the person I'm about to talk about here. I keep trying to tell myself that I'm better than that, don't go down to their fucking level Statik. Muzz up Statik, muzz up. I thought I buried this trash long ago, I just wanted so bad to consider it a loss and move on.

I come home from work this morning to see that someone who was also screwed over by this guy was paid back. This wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact they only been waiting since last AC for their payment. I've been waiting nearly FOUR FUCKING YEARS NOW! It's not like I didn't try to work with the guy either. I offered to setup some kind of payment plan where they could pay me whatever they could afford monthly or even weekly. I didn't care how small the amount was of their payments, I was just doing it because I wanted to at least see they were making some kind of effort. There was even one point where I told them if they bought me a mp3 player I was wanting at the time for work that I wipe our slate clean of this whole mess. The player was far less than the total sum of what they owed me too but once again I was just wanting to move on. Still nothing.

To catch up those who give a shit to know of everything. I originally had this guy move in with me in Vegas. At the time he was having trouble finding work to support himself and even feed himself. I didn't want to see my friend go through all that so I started helping him out till he could get back on his own feet. The total bill racked over 1,000 easily BUT I told him I didn't want him to feel too overwhelmed with such a large sum that he was in debt too. I decided on 750 that he would owe me. He agreed. Eventually it got to a point where we parted ways and from there I never saw him again. Anytime I would bring it up, he would have one excuse after another. Not only that but he would try to make me out to be the bad guy for bringing it up. This went on for years. It didn't help I had friends of his relaying information back to me that this guy was going off to "X" con and buying useless shit left and right. The knife in my back continued to dig itself deeper into my back with each piece of information. Eventually it got to a point where I just said fuck it and moved on ...or so I thought.

The issue would always find someway to resurface itself. Either it be him appearing out of the blue with a email of apology saying he wanted to make things right again and try to soothe me over with mentioning how much he missed the friendship/bond we use to have for each other. I admit, I was a sucker for it. I believed every word of it. I guess apart of me wanted to believe because I was so damn stubborn to accept that some people could be capable of such cold acts. Of course after these lies he once again disappeared.

I lost count of how many times this happened and I really didn't give a shit anymore. I didn't trust him, I just wanted him out of my life completely.

At some point he appeared out of the blue once again with a livejournal post directed at everyone he had wronged in his past. I was at the top of the list, ...he tried to make it sincere. I simply didn't care though, I left it untouched and continued to hate the very mention of his name.

So now here we are in 2008 when I get the news that he's gonna be a father. JUST FUCKING GREAT! So here I am reading this post about how happy and excited he is. I'm hovering my finger over the comment button wanting to so bad to call him out right in front of his precious friends and supporters so they can see what kind of person he really is. You want to have a kid!? How the hell do you expect to afford to pay for that kind of expense when you can't even pay your long WAY overdue past debts? A good father my ass, he's gonna grow up to be a lying deceiving backstabbing piece of shit like you. I never hit the comment button though.

The final straw happened this morning. I saw in a mutual friends post how he was calling someone out for not paying them their room share from last AC. I didn't know at the time that they were refering to the same guy I been after until someone asked me directly if I had any dealings with X person. Well I come home this morning to see that they were paid back. That's all fine and dandy for you but what the fuck does that make me? You been waiting since AC and here I am waiting for YEARS on end. Don't you dare tell me that it was easier for you to pay them back because the sum was smaller either. The fact of the matter is you haven't made any kind of attempt to make things right. Not a fucking cent! You could pay me like twenty bucks a week and I would be happy. That's what, two whole hours out of a average rate paycheck? Oh but wait you have your fucking bitch to look after now and you're new baby huh?

I swear to God I should just out you right here. I'm so tempted like you wouldn't believe. I'm trying so hard to resist but I really don't think it's gonna last. I want everyone to know what kind of person you truely are. I want your life to be made into a miserable hell. You deserve every fucking ounce of the pain you have put me through. I will never be you though, fuck the pain and fuck you.

As if having a lj account wasn't enough.

Well what can I say? I'm a sucker for attention especially when their trailing with good vibes. I created this account quite some time ago and never did much of anything with it. Now I'm hooked, it helps I'm actually getting involved on here too. It even got me to dig through my closet and share some old art that I thought would never see the light of day again. Until all of you came around! Thank you. Haha (I love being cheesy)

Seriously though, I do appreciate the feedback I've been given so far. I don't allow such things to ever go unnoticed because you need to know some of us are thankful.

I updated my profile on here btw, I figure you took the time to support me ...so you should know more about me in return.
