Recently, studies have claimed men were aroused by the smell of licorice and women by a combination of cucumber and Good & Plenty, a licoricelike candy. THE REALITY: Those reports stem from research by Alan Hirsch, M.D., director of the Chicago-based Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation. Hirsch exposed Chicago-area men and women to various scents, and measured penile and vaginal blood flow as a signal of sexual arousal. Among men, black licorice increased blood flow 13 percent; when combined with the smell of doughnuts, it jumped to 32 percent. A mix of lavender and pumpkin pie scored 40 percent, compared to just 3 percent for perfume. While women were apparently aroused by the candy-cucumber mix, cherries actually decreased blood flow, as did the smells of barbecued meat and mens' cologne.

I've even been told that "I actually forget you're a guy, I don't even think of you as a guy, you're like one of the girls to me." That fucking hurts. But anyway, Melissa cancelled the trip. My plane tickets are non-refundable, so she said she'll pay me back, but it will have to be in small payments over a period of time. I don't know how she'll do it though, she already owes her dad a bunch of money she borrowed from him. I actually feel bad about her having to pay me back. Like I said, I'm too nice. I should be mad at her. I should be like "Bitch, you better pay me back!" Instead, I feel bad about her paying me back. I'm pathetic. I let people walk all over me in social situations. I inconvenience myself just so other people can get what they want. Like if I was in one of those Christmas rush things, where everyone is frantic trying to buy the season's hot toy, if I got to the toy first, and it was the last one, I'd give it to the next person so they could have it. I'm not mad at Melissa though. Dissappointed, but not mad. I could never be mad at her. What really gets me about the whole "lets be friends" thing, is that they always say they don't want to date because "I don't want to ruin our special friendship." What they don't seem to understand is that that pretty much ruins the friendship as well, because it's pretty much impossible to stay friends with someone you are so in love with, but they don't want you. It hurts to talk to them, or hang out with them, because the whole time all you can think about is how badly you want them and can't have them. And I do love Melissa, I love her more than anything. Maybe it's stupid, considering that we've only met once, for a few hours once, and she had a boyfriend at the time, so nothing happened. So you might think it's stupid to be so in love with someone you've hardly even met, but I don't think it is. Ok, I've got other stuff I could write about, but that's the most important of the stuff that's happened recently, so I will save the others for another time. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/10/argh.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/10/argh.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=112889386265946127
The Past
I did a lot of thinking today. I spent most of my work day lost in thought as I performed the mindless, physical tasks. Well, I spend most of the days like that, but even more so today. I was just thinking better, or something, clearer. It was one of those days I have once in a great while where I think about my past, and remember things I had forgotten. I realized today, that one of the (many) reasons I like Melissa so much is that she reminds me of what I've lost. Of how I used to be. Melissa is often silly, and goofy, and makes her coworkers laugh. I used to be like this, years ago. Back when I was in school, I was always well known. I wasn't popular, no one liked me much, but everyone knew me, because I was so weird and funny. Sometimes, people I didn't even know would come up to me in the hall and say things like "Do something weird," or, "Do the chipmunk laugh." Even as far back as elementary school I would get in trouble every day for talking too much, and being too loud. Such a far cry from my present state of complete and total shyness and timidness. 1998 was the year that a large part of me died. Well, part of it was in 1999, but most of it was 1998. In all it was a period of about a year. I usually refer to this year span as "the longest year of my life." I graduated from high school in 1998, and most of my friends, except for Chris, either joined the military, or went off to college, so I didn't see them much anymore. This caused me to retreat even further into the world of online chatrooms, which I had been battling an obsession with for two or three years. My main obsession was an AOL chat room called "Witty." It was full of great people. Regulars who were always in there, and I became great friends with many of them. It wasn't your regular AOL chat room, the Witty regulars were all a little more intelligent than your usual chat room inhabitants. They discouraged people talking in all internet slang abbreviations and A/S/L checks, and things like that, so the idiocy was kept to a minimum. It was here that I met Melissa. I don't remember exactly when, it was sometime in 1998, I don't remember if it was before or after I graduated. We became very good friends almost immediately. I had a crush on her even back then, but she had a boyfriend, but we still were good friends. Then, a few months later, about the time I went off to college, she was going to lose her internet access for a few months, I don't remember exactly why. This was another major blow, I lost another one of my best friends. It was about this time I started getting really depressed. I went to college, and this was a MAJOR blow. I'd always been shy around people, even though I was always goofing off and being the class clown in the past, I was still shy in certain situations, especially when it came to one-on-one human interaction. Goofing off for a class full of people I could handle. But trying to talk to just one person made me nervous. It had never really been much of a problem before, though, but when I went to college, it got out of control. As time went by, I kept getting more and more nervous and scared. There were just too many people around, even though I was going to a small college. I started to get panic attacks. I'd skip class and just sit in my car for hours, or sit in the library, in the stacks where there weren't any people, and read. Anything so that I wouldn't have to go to class, or walk through the people-filled halls. Then I got so bad I couldn't even work up the courage to go into the library anymore. And at the same time I was fighting this crippling social phobia, other things were going on which just added to my mental strain. Me and Melissa were writing real letter to each other, but I hate writing letters for some reason, just like I hate talking on the phone, so we only exchanged a couple of letters. Well, she wrote me four, but I only sent on or two. I'd sit there in the library hiding, and try to write a letter to her, but I just couldn't and this depressed me even more, because I thought she would think I hated her or something, and I would lose her as a friend permanently. Also, I was failing all my classes, mostly because I never went to them, and, even when I did, I couldn't pay attention because I had so much more on my mind, or couldn't stay awake. I only slept a couple of hours a night, because my chat room dependency was getting worse and worse. I would sit in the chat room for hours and hours every night, talking to pretty much the only friends I had. After I lost contact with Melissa, I fell in love with one of my coworkers at Carl's Jr. Her name was Genie. I was very in love with her, but, like always, I never said anything to her, I never told her I liked her, or asked her out. We were friends, and talked to each other a lot at work, but that was all we were. Then, she started dating a guy that also worked there at Carl's, who was also my friend. His name was Tim. This made me even more depressed, but I didn't give up hope that maybe they'd break up or something, and someday I'd have a chance with her. In time, I would come to regret ever hoping that something would cause them to separate. Then, it all came to a head at once. The strain of all these problems, especially the social phobia, was too much to bear. I was in danger of having a mental breakdown at any moment. So I finally decided that I would have to drop out of college. I went to my mom, and told her for the first time, about my depression and social phobia, I'd never told anyone before, not even my best friend Chris. I told my mom, and told her about my social anxiety problem, and that I was going to drop out of college and start going to a psychiatrist. She didn't really understand my problem, and still doesn't (whenever I try to talk about how shy I am around people, her answer is, "Just stop, don't be that way."), but she was supportive anyway. So I dropped out of college, this was in early November. I never did see a psychiatrist, because as soon as I dropped out, I started feeling a little better, and I hated the idea of going to one because I knew all they'd do is give me pills. And then, towards the end of November, the shit really hit the fan. Friday, November 27th, 1998. The day after Thanksgiving. The biggest shopping day of the year, and also one of the worst days of the year for automobile accidents. On this day, two of my friends, including the woman I loved, became a statistic. Me and my mom and sister had all been out shopping most of the day too, and, as we were driving back to Purcell, going south on I-35, we drove over a spot where you could tell there had been a horrible wreck recently. The road itself was actually melted in one place. Then, when we got home, I got the phone call. Genie and Tim had been in a horrible wreck. Tim was dead, and Genie probably wouldn't make it. It turned out the spot we had driven over was where the wreck had happened. They were driving northbound, and had a blow out, and spun out of control, they went clear across the median, into the southbound lanes, where they spun into a large van going full highway speed. Genie wasn't wearing her seatbelt, was thrown something like 20 feet through the windshield. Ironically, this is what saved her. Tim, who was wearing his seatbelt, was still trapped in the car when it burst into flames. He burned to death, and was burned so badly they had to use dental records to identify him. Up until they re-paved the highway just a year or so ago, you could still see the burn mark on the highway. It was an almost daily reminder for me of the accident. Also, someone kept flowers there in the median of the highway at all time for many years. I don't know who, some of Tim's family, I guess. I went to Tim's funeral, and I also went to see Genie in the hospital every day. She did make it through, but she was in the hospital until December 18, the day before my birthday. I went and saw her every day, and I would sit there for hours. Even the days she was unconscious, or so doped up on morphine she barely even knew who she was. Even when she was conscious, she'd still be so doped up I had to help her eat. Most days I was the only visitor she had, her family hardly ever even came to see her. Partly because it was about an hour's drive to even get to the hospital she was at. But I drove it every day, and sat with her every day. I felt like a horrible person. Because in the back of my mind, a voice kept telling me, "Hey, she's single now, just give her a couple of months to get over the loss of Tim, and then make your move." I'd tell that voice to shut up, and stop thinking things like that, but it kept coming back. Of course, this made me slip farther and farther into depression. She got out of the hospital on the 18th, and I spent the next couple of weeks in a state of deep depression. I would drive around aimlessly in my car for hours, listening to depressing music, and thinking depressing thoughts. Actually, it wasn't
exactly aimless. Most of the time was spent driving around Lexington, where Genie lived, trying to get up the courage to visit her at her home. I was just biding my time, remaining her friend, until the day I thought it was safe to ask her out. And then she shocked and surprised me. Just a couple of days after she got out of the hospital, some other guy at Carl's asked her out for New Years, and she accepted. I couldn't believe it. It was too soon after Tim's death. I was shocked by this, and also depressed further by the fact that it wasn't me who was going out with her. I spent the next few months in a state of deep depression, and seriously thought about killing myself on several occasions, but never had the nerve to go through with it. Which made me feel even worse. I was such a coward. I was too afraid to talk to people, too afraid to ask girls out even after being in love with them for months. I was even too afraid to kill myself even though I wanted to. Over time I started getting a little better, but I battled depression for a couple of years. I still have the social phobia, and very occasionally small bouts of depression, but I'm much better than I was then, at least when it comes to the depression. But still, over the last year or so I find myself becoming more and more detached from the world. I almost never leave the apartment except to go to work or my parents' house, and when I do leave the apartment, I walk around like a zombie, with a blank expression on my face, not looking at anything or anyone. In fact, the last couple of months, I've noticed that my eyesight is going, probably because my eyes are getting weak. Whenever I'm out of the house, I never focus on anything, I stare blankly ahead, operating on a sort of fuzzy peripheral vision. The only things I ever really focus on and look at are books or computer screens for hours on end, which strains my eyes further. When I'm not safe in my apartment, I am silent and expressionless, looking at nothing. I have no personality. If someone says hi to me, I either ignore them, or grunt out a small "hi," or "ok," if they ask me how I'm doing. It gets worse every day, I withdraw farther and farther into myself with each passing week. My spirit has been totally crushed. Anyone who looks into my eyes can see this. I wish I could be like I used to be. I wish I could be like Melissa. I wish I could be human. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/09/past.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/09/past.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=112623122838437513
patterns of other primates, and, in fact, of all other mammals. Millions of years of conditioning will not just go away. Human behavior and society makes so much more sense when you remember this. All the awful ways in which humans act are natural parts of primate behavior, but we have forgotten this, or just don't wish to think about it, and this causes anxiety in us when we see ourselves, and others, act in these awful ways. I'm not advocating this behavior, just that it is natural behavior for domesticated primates. Humans are animals. To this, most people (minus the creationists), would reply, "Yes, but we are the smartest, most intelligent animals." Says who? Us? Of course we would think that, we're biased on the subject. Just because we have big brains, and can accomplish all these "great" things, doesn't mean we are the "smartest" animals. Look around at the mess we've made of the world. Who's smarter, us, or other animals, who live in harmony with their environments? Just because we CAN do things, doesn't mean we SHOULD. Douglas Adams wrote in The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (I'm quoting from memory, I may not get the exact wording correct), "Humans thought they were smarter than Dolphins because Humans accomplished things like New York, and Wars, while all the dolphins did was swim around and have a good time. The dolphins thought they were smarter than humans for the exact same reasons." posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/08/thought-for-day-82205.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/08/thought-for-day82205.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=112475118601314626

Work. Ugh. It's been a roller-coaster ride. I loved the job when I started, even though I hated Dale, my semi-boss. He's not really our boss, he's just a normal employee like us, but he's been there the longest, and makes the most, so he's more-or-less our boss when Ben, the real boss isn't there. It's not like a job description thing, Ben doesn't come in and promote you to this new position or anything, he just gives you a couple extra responsibilities. This is important, because I think there's a chance I could be becoming the next person in this position sometime in the near future, but once again, I'm getting a little ahead of myself. As I was saying, I loved the job when I started, but very soon, Dale, and even Ben, started to really get on my nerves, so much so that I hated the job even more than Carl's. I seriously almost quit a couple of times, much closer even than I ever came to quitting in the nine years I was at Carl's. Ben is superannoying because he is an asshole. No matter how hard we work, he always comes in and bitches that we're not doing anything. He'll say something like "It looks like you guys have just been on break for the last two days." He'll point at a shelf that is missing two cans of product because a customer came in and bought it, and say that the entire aisle looks like shit and we just goof off all day and never work. He doesn't seem to understand that that's what happens in a store, people BUY THINGS. You don't just stock the shelves and then they stay that way. Also, he doesn't understand the concepts of time and space. We'll get a truck of like 15 pallets of product in, and he expects us to get it all up in one day. This is literally impossible for two reasons. First, unless we had about ten people working there instead of two or three, there is no way anyone in the world could do it that fast. Also, it's impossible because the shelves won't hold that much product! That's enough product to keep our shelves stocked for up to a week, it won't all go up at once, you stupid fucker. But, the last few days have been better, because Dale got suspended for a week, and I've basically been put in charge in his place. They aren't calling it a suspension, but Ben called him and yelled at him last Monday, and told him not to come back until this Monday. And he also said that "When you come back Monday, you can work 7 to 4 with an hour lunch break. A normal shift like everyone else, and if you don't like it, you can find another job." And everyone around the store, even people that don't work for Ben are talking about how Ben is trying to finally get rid of Dale. So, Dale may not come back, and even if he does, he probably won't last long. The last few days I've worked have been heaven without him. We all get much more work done without him there to annoy us, and slow us down by being an idiot and trying to tell us what to do even though we know what to do and what needs to be done, usually even better than him. Even Ben has noticed when he came in how much smoother things have been going, and how much more work we're getting done this week. He almost complimented us the other day, even. Basically the crew besides me is my aunt Valorie, who started work there a week or two before me, and isn't very good at it; Gene, an old man, past retirement age, who is a good worker, but he had a heart-attack or stroke or something about a year ago, so he can't do any hard work now, he has to have someone bring the pallets and stuff out for him; and Dale, who may not be there much longer. Ben has employees that work in other stores in the area too, and there's a couple of guys from another store he sends in to help us occasionally, but they usually aren't there more than once a week. So, as long as I've worked there, anytime that Dale has been off, or just not come in that day, Valorie and Gene have made me the boss. They even call me "Boss." Even Gene, who has worked there for years, calls me boss, and asks me what he should do. And we always get twice as much work done when I'm in charge. They all like it when I'm in charge, and all think I should be in charge if Dale does quit or get fired. Unfortunately, there's one problem with me being put in charge in any sort of official manner: I may be moving in a few months. Which brings us, finally, to what I said I'd talk about later, and the reason I am saving up my money. It's also the other reason, besides Dale being gone, that I've been in such a good mood the past week. This is something that's been going on for a while now, but I've never told anyone about, except for my parents, and I briefly mentioned it to Phillip when I was working at Carl's. I've not even told Chris, which will probably make him mad, because it's such an important thing. He will probably say, "I thought we were best friends? Why didn't you tell me?" I'm moving to California, to be with Melissa. I've known her for almost 8 years now, and we've been really good friends the entire time. We've known for years that we were perfect for each other, but there was the pesky problem of us living about 1500 miles apart. She didn't want to move to Oklahoma, and I would've hated for her to have done so, because Oklahoma sucks, and I don't even want to be here. I've always wanted to move to CA, or somewhere else on the west coast, even before I met her, but I couldn't move to CA because I was too poor, and CA is so expensive to live in. But a few months ago, shortly after she broke up with her last boyfriend, I brought up the idea of me finally moving to CA, and we started to seriously talk about it. I told my parent's and Phillip about it way back then, and I was going to tell Chris, but it was something I would've rather told him about in person than online, and every time he came to OK on leave, I just couldn't seem to find the right time or place to talk about it, I didn't really want to talk about it in front of his entire family, as I am a shy person, and don't really like talking about matters like this in public. After a while though, the plan sort of fell through. Mostly because she was taking her last breakup really hard, and she also said she didn't want to force me to move halfway across the country and so far away from my family. So we stopped talking about it, and I had pretty much given up on the idea. But then a couple of weeks ago, she brought it up again, and since then we've been talking about it again, even more seriously than last time. Unless something unforeseen happens, it's going to finally happen this time. But we don't know when. Basically, as soon as I can save up enough money to feel comfortable doing it. CA is expensive, and I won't have a job when I get there. I'll be living with her, but I don't want to be a total dead-beat and have to mooch off of her. I don't really have a target goal on the money issue, but I'd like to at least make back the $1200 I had to spend on my car a while back. Then I also need to get some work done on my car first, nothing major, just a new set of tires, and before I attempt the drive I'd want to make sure I got a good tune-up and stuff like that. So, we don't know for sure when this will be happening, but I'm hoping two or three months at the most. She's got a vacation coming up in early October, and she's hoping I can get a week off from work to come stay with her for a few days first. I was really hoping to maybe be moving there by then, but she insists, and it is a good idea, that I should come stay with her for a week or so first, because for some reason, we may end up not getting along together in real life, though I don't see that happening at all. The main reason I don't really want to do this is because that's extra money I'll have to spend. I'll have to get a plane ticket, and take some spending money, and on top of that, I'd be missing a week of work. I may not even be able to get the time off from work though. I don't know for sure what the policy is on stuff like that. I really hope it doesn't take too long. I would move out there today, if I could. We've already wasted so many years not being together even when we knew we should be, that I hate to waste even one more day. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/08/going-back-and-also-some-good-news.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/08/going-back-and-also-some-good-news.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=112396412208124982
one. Everywhere around here always has crickets really bad in the summer, At Carl's Jr. there'd always be crickets everywhere inside the place. I hate crickets, and grasshoppers.

Not only have I been looking at lots of porn, but I've also put ads on a couple of personals sites lately too. Haven't gotten any replies, but no surprise there. I don't expect to get any anyway, since I don't even have a picture on my ad. If I had one I might get a reply or two. Though they probably wouldn't be from people I'd want to have anything to do with. I've had people respond to a personal I had up a few years ago, and everyone who responded to it was someone I didn't want to talk to. This one site I put my ad on the other day found something like 225 women within 50 miles of me who had ads on that site, but probably 80% of them were over the age of 40. There were lots of mid-fourties to late-fifties. Then, out of the remaining 20%, people who were in the age range I wanted, most of them were either lesbians looking for another woman, or were part of a guy/girl couple, who were looking for another woman to join them for a threesome. And this wasn't even one of those dating sites the specialize in meeting people specifically for sex, though I thought about putting an ad up on one of those too. Ok, well, it's about an hour until I have to go to bed, I'm gonna go do something now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/06/insert-witty-title-here.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/06/insert-witty-titlehere.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=111992292848524999

Car Trouble
So I still don't have a car. When I first took it to the shop, he thought the heads were cracked, and maybe a rod was bent. Turned out it was neither. My head gasket was bad, among other things. It still ended up costing me $1046.62. Only $400 of that was labor, the rest was parts. So then I picked it up, and it did fine on the drive home, but then a few minutes later I got in it again, and it was doing some new stuff. It was shaking and sputtering really bad. Shaking bad enough that if you had a drink, it would spill it. So I took it back the next day, and it was something simple, a vacuum hose wasn't connected. So he fixed that while I was at work, and after work I went to pick it up again. He was already gone for the day when I got there. I don't know if he didn't even start the thing after he got done, because when I started it, it was making this horrible metal on metal scraping noise, and it wouldn't stop doing it. So I just left it there, for him to work on when he gets back tomorrow. He's been closed the last few days for the holiday weekend. Everyone says this newest problem sounds like the starter. I hope whatever it is, it's cheap to fix, and that this is the last thing that goes wrong. On the good side, I've got to drive my mom's car for the last week, which is even nicer than my car. It's what other people would call "pimpin'," but not me, I hate that word. I think it's a Cadillac. I don't know, I'm horrible with cars, I can barely remember what MY car is. The reason I haven't written about this sooner is that Chris was just here on leave for a few days. He ended up staying here at my place a couple of days. We didn't do anything much on the few days he was here, basically just sat around and played video games and stuff, we didn't go anywhere or anything. Yesterday I mowed my parents' lawn again, and today I cleaned out the old shed. They've got lots of jobs around the house I can do over the next few weeks, because they're remodeling half the house, so there's lots of old wallpaper and carpet and stuff that needs tore out, and walls that need painted, and stuff that needs moved. I get paid for doing all the stuff too, which is cool, because I need all the money I can get. I did even before the car problems. Hmm, did I ever write about going to the doctor? I can't remember. Anyway, when I was so incredibly sick last week, I finally went to the doctor, and he said it was what we thought it was, allergies that had turned into a very bad sinus infection. He gave me a cortizone shot and two prescriptions; one antibiotic,
and one decongestant. Hmm, as usual, it seems like there was something else I wanted to write about over the last few days, but I don't remember what it was right now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/05/car-trouble.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/05/car-trouble.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=111750078836965114
Then later that night, part of the vent work came un-duct-taped to my A/C unit in my apartment, so I had to tape that back up myself. Also, the DVD drive in my computer stopped working a few weeks ago. Just about a month after the extended three-year warranty I bought ran out. It still plays and reads CDs just fine, but it won't play DVDs, even though it's the same drive. I've always had trouble with my DVD drive in this computer, for pretty much as long as I've had it. Used to it would just sometimes stop in the middle of the movie and say "DVD Player has encountered an error it cannot recover from. The disc may be dirty or scratched." But now, when I put a DVD in, it just sits there and reads the disc forever. Eventually the computer will completely lock up, it won't let me do anything. I can still move the mouse around, but it's the "thinking" symbol, and I can't do anything. I have to hit the eject button, and then wait like five minutes before it ejects the disc. Sometimes the DVD Player program will actually start up, but the movie won't play, and it will just sit there thinking again, until I end up having to command+option+escape (the Mac version of Control+Alt+Delete) to close down the program. Then other times, after it thinks for a couple of minutes, the program will start up, and the movie will actually start playing, but after maybe two minutes of jerky playing and skipping, it will give me that same error message it used to give me, and then shut the program down. I'm having trouble with my body too. I can barely talk today, my throat is almost swollen completely closed it feels like. The last few days my throat has been feeling kind of scratchy. Not really sore, but scratchy, and it would sometimes hurt a little to talk. But it's gotten a little worse every day, and then today, it wasn't much worse than it was yesterday, but then while I was watching the movie, it got worse. By the time the movie was over, I could barely talk. I think I've figured it out though. I think it's the gum I've been chewing. I've hardly ever chewed gum in my life, but the last week or so, I've been chewing it pretty much constantly. Mostly because I'm on a diet, and it keeps me from eating so much. But my throat problems started a few days after I started chewing the gum. My parents both said chewing gum has always given them sore throats, but most of the people I know chew it constantly, and it never bothers them. I'm going to quit chewing it for a couple of days, and see if it gets better. It may just be the kind of gum I'm chewing too. I may be allergic to something in it, or something like that. I'm chewing Ice Breakers gum, which has got these tiny little capsules in it, which are filled with a liquid mouthwash-like substance. Maybe that is what is irritating my throat. I'm pretty sure it's something to do with the gum though. I wonder how long Episode Three is supposed to be? The Yahoo movie listings say 2 hours and 26 minutes, but I wasn't even there for two hours barely. The movie was scheduled for 12:15, but then there's probably 15 minutes of commercials and previews, and I was out of there by 2:25. Melissa said her brother went and saw the movie, and he said it was about two and a half hours. My sister says all her friends said it was over three hours. So I don't know. All I know, is I was only there for barely two hours. Maybe they cut something out? Also, the whole time I was watching the movie, I was thinking "Bush is the evil Emperor!" seriously, the way Palpatine rose to power is very similar to what Bush and the republicans are doing since 9/11. Palpatine is like, "There's a war going on, you've got to give me more emergency powers, so I can stop this threat!" And then, in the end, he declares himself Emperor, and everyone stand up and cheers. And Padme says, "So, this is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause."

Idiots
Around a month ago, I posted a link to a website (that appears to no longer be working) made by some person who said that he would eat some rabbit he nursed back to health if people didn't donate money to him and give him a million dollars by the end of the year. Yesterday, some idiot left an insulting comment, obviously thinking that I was the one who wrote the page and was saying that I would do this. They thought this despite the fact that it was a link to an external web page. Here is their almost unreadable message, in all its badly written glory: you are one sick person! nothing but a hick bastard! if your seriously going to eat a fucking bunny if you don't have 1 mill. in the bank.....then you must have shit for a brain. and filled with greed which maybe your that much of a low life that you dont care..which doesn't really surprise since your
from oklahoma!! no offense to other ppl for oklahoma.....not very impressing there kevin! but whatever have fun rotting in hell! ohh one more thing...i find it very interesting that there's like 5 sites with different animals yet all threatening the same thing! AMAZING!! not very original either!! I, like the person who wrote this, am also amazed. I am amazed by their inability to grasp the most basic concepts of spelling and grammar. Such as capitalizing the first letter of a sentence, and only using one punctuation mark at the end. I am also amazed by their ability to end almost every so-called "sentence" with an ellipsis (...). I am also amazed by the way they repeatedly insult Oklahomans, and then say "no offense to other Oklahomans." And finally, I continue to be amazed by the fact that people this stupid can actually USE a computer. I'd think that even if they tried to use one, all the drool would ruin the keyboard. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/04/idiots.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/04/idiots.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=111350079447655648

Teacher caught on tape pulling chair from under student refusing to stand for national anthem
http://publish.nyc.indymedia.org/newswire/update/index.php A student named Jay (who wants his last name to be withheld) at Brick Township High School in New Jersey, had his chair pulled out from under him after he refused to stand for the national anthem. The class started out that morning with Mantel yelling "I don't want to hear a sound! Not a sound! Morning exercises will come on, you will stand, you will stand quietly, you will pay attention! Any Questions!?...Now stand up and keep your mouths shut!" Students stood up as the national anthem began playing. In the middle of the anthem, Mantel walked over to Jay and demanded that he stand up. Jay silently refused, and Mantel yelled again, "Stand up!". Jay then said "I don't have to stand up". To which Mantel insisted "You have to stand." Jay said "No I don't". Mantel then reached over and pulled Jay's chair out from under him. Jay responded to Stuart Mantel's outrageous behavior by asking Mantel "Are you serious?", to which Mantel yelled "I am damn well serious." Jay said that he didn't have any political reasons for his refusal to stand but that he wanted to sit because he feels it is his right to do so and that right was being threatened by Mantel. Jay said that he thought Mantel might tell him to stand, but he never expected to be physically forced to do so. Jay's friend who was in the class at the time, Corey, says that their teacher had been strict in the past in demanding that students stand for the national anthem and pledge of allegiance. That's why they brought in a camera - to expose the teacher in case he did anything again. "The teacher and school principals wanted him (Mantel) to press charges against us...they tried to blame it on us like it was premeditated, like we did it just to get him on tape, which is false. We knew he was gonna go nuts because he frequently used to" said Corey. Jay's other classmate Steve got suspended for 10 days for filming the incident. The school told Corey that it "violated the teacher's constitutional rights" for them to film the teacher without his permission."I think that its crazy that people are getting in trouble for this or things they say. There have been so many kids video taping and no one ever got in trouble for it. So why now?" Jay asked. It sounds as if the school is punishing this student now because of the nature of what's on the tape, not the fact they were taping the teacher without his permission. When I asked Corey if Mantel was being punished for pulling out Jay's chair, he said "Nope...I asked (the principal) 'What are you doing to discipline Mantel?' and they said 'we talked'. Teachers do anything they want". Seeing acts like Mantel's go unpunished will likely inspire teachers to continue
intimidating their students into standing for the national anthem and pledge of allegiance.

Oven
Attention: "Oven" is now a verb. I was just looking through the fridge, trying to decide what to eat, and I said to myself, "Yeah, I think I'll oven me a corn dog." I normally cook them in the microwave, but occasionally I cook them in the oven. My oven sucks so much, it takes 30 minutes at 500 degrees to cook a fucking corn dog. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/02/oven.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/02/oven.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110857531256607320
supposed to all go out to some strip clubs and get drunk and stuff Saturday night. Instead, we ended up going out Friday AND Saturday. The plan had originally been to go out to The Playhouse, the place that I went to a while back, and said was so great. Oh, and Chris' wife knew all about us going to the strip clubs, but she doesn't mind. On Friday night, I was hanging out with Chris and his brother, and they needed to go up to Norman for some stuff, and while we were up there, we decided to go to some strip club there in Norman, that neither me nor Chris even knew existed. Richard mainly wanted to go there, so we could see how crappy it was, he said it was really crappy, with skanky dancers. And he was right. There were only three dancers even there at first, and two of them looked like they were around 40. And for some reason they all kept coming out to our pool table we were playing at, and hanging around us, and one of them got a bad attitude. She got pissed because I wouldn't talk to her, and was being my usual anti-social self. I wasn't really being rude or anything, but she just started freaking out, and was being very rude, and on the verge of getting violent, so we left. It wasn't my fault, Chris and Richard said she was a crazy bitch too. Then we decided to go up to another club, it was better, but still wasn't very good, so then we went to Night Trips, the place I mentioned last time, that's supposed to be the best strip club around here. I didn't think it was that great. Yeah, they had some really good looking dancers, but the place was so packed, it was just shoulder to shoulder, and you couldn't get anywhere near the stage without having to fight your way there. Then after we left there, we went and ate at Dennys. It was a pretty cool night, and Richard wasn't too bad, I usually hate Chris' brother. Mainly because he embarrasses me, and says things to me that make me uncomfortable. Not like THAT, you perverts. It's just that his whole family is very open, especially with sexual things, and they just all sit around talking about things I'd never talk about, especially not with someone's parents, and Richard is really bad about saying things to me that embarrass me. He wasn't that bad these two nights, well, until he got drunk, that is. Then, Saturday night, David ended up not being able to come, which sucked, because he was supposed to be the designated driver, so we had to decide who had to be it in his place. Chris ended up being it, so he wasn't able to drink until we got back to my place. So we went up to The Playhouse. On the way there we stopped by a liquor store, and bought some stuff, and me and Richard had some drinks in the car, brandy and coke. I think we both had two fairly large ones. Then, to make a long story short, we all three had an absolute blast at the Playhouse, and they all agreed with me that it is a fantastic place, and they said that I really know how to pick strip clubs. I was feeling kinda proud of myself. We made plans to do this again every time Chris comes up for the weekend. But then, things started to fall apart. On the way back, Richard was so horny from the club, that he started trying to find some girls for me and him, and try to get them to come over to my place where we were going next to all get drunk. He tried calling all the girls he knew, and wasn't having much luck. Then he got ahold of some guy and girl that he knew, and they were going to come over, and she was supposed to bring some friends. They got to my place, but none of the other girls came. So then, them and Richard just sat around playing some drinking game, and all got very drunk, and then got rowdy, and then they all got in some argument and the guy and girl left. So yeah, the party was really sucky, and I got in a really bad mood, which always happens though when I get drunk around several people. I'm fine when I get drunk by myself, or with just a person or two, but in party situations I always get really depressed and angry, and end up punching walls. And that's when the party goes good. By the end of this night, I was really really angry and depressed. And in fact, have now been depressed and angry for two days. Partly because of that, and partly because of it being Valentine's Day. Ok, so, this post is long, and I don't really feel that well tonight, so I'm going to end this now. I don't feel that depressed or anything anymore, but I'm suffering from allergies or something now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/02/im-still-alive.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/02/im-still-alive.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110843362798919081
?FPRIVATE "TYPE=PICT;ALT=blackpanther" You are a Radical. Right on! http://quizilla.com/users/shanachie/quizzes/What%20kind%20of%20Sixties%20Person%20are%20you%3F/ brought to you by http://quizilla.com/ Ok, so based on my original answers, I got Rebel, but there were some questions that multiple answers fit me, and I just had to pick one, so, going back and changing a couple of them slightly, also got me the Hippy result. So I'm somewhere between the two or something. They aren't that different in some ways. The main things are the course of action they take. Both are "rebels" in a way, but Hippies are more the passive type, with their love-in and sit-ins, and protests, while the Rebels are more violent and angry and active in their actions. In general anyway, there were some exceptions to both of those generalizations.posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/02/what-kind-of-sixties-person-are-you.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/02/what-kind-of-sixties-person-are-you.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=110764508264783356
DVDs, CDs, DVD-R, CD-R, MP3 CDs, picture CDs, and even has slots in the front so you can put the memory cards from your cameras and stuff in it and see them on the TV. The only thing it doesn't do is burn DVDs. On Christmas morning my sisters mind was blown. She got an X-Box, with Halo and Halo 2. Then, she also got something she'd been wanting, but didn't figure she'd get. A computer. Several nights before I had to go out with my mom and help her find one to buy. It's an amazing computer too, 2.1GHz, which is the worst thing about it, 160 GB harddrive, and 512 RAM. She also got a big computer desk, which I spent several hours Christmas morning putting together, by myself, because my dad was sick. He watched me though, and kept telling me that I was doing an amazing job, and that he was proud of me. He also kept mentioning that "you know, some places pay people to put this stuff together, you could do that." Then I spent the rest of the day setting the computer up, and learning how to use it, since it was running Windows XP and the last Windows version I've ever used was Windows 98, and configuring all the settings and crap. I went back after work for several days doing all that, and then when I was finally about done, they got the cable internet installed, so I had to go back and set all that up, and configure their internet parental controls and stuff. This is why I didn't even get to play any of the new games I got for several days after Christmas. I've still only played a couple of them and hardly watched any of the DVDs. Also because I worked 8 days straight, I went back to work the day after Christmas, and didn't have another day off until Monday. I did go home sick Saturday though, like four hours early. I was really sick for a couple of days. On Christmas Eve, I played my Metroid for the gameboy a while, but didn't get to play that much, because Chris was here for Christmas, and wanted me to come over to his parent's place and hang out with him and everyone else for a while before he had to leave because he and Candice both had to work the next morning, meaning they'd have to drive back to Texas overnight and had to leave in a few hours. I took my games with me to show him what I got, and while I was there, I didn't get to play any, but I watched David play the Budokai 3 for a while. It looks much better than 2. I still haven't played it, or Fable yet. Once I finally go to play my games, I started with Paper Mario. It's great, I played it for about 8 hours over just two days. I also watched a few episodes of Pee Wee's Playhouse. Then a couple of days ago, I finally played San Andreas. I wasn't sure if I'd like this game or not, from the reviews I'd read. They changed it some, and added all these stats and stuff, and you have to keep the guy fed, and stuff like that. But actually, it's very well done, and actually make the game better! I like this one even more than Vice City, though Vice City has the better music. I don't like most of the music on this game. I played it for an hour or so Sunday night, then Monday, my day off, I played it for six hours straight. I'm off again today, and after I get done with this, and other stuff I have to get done today, I'm going to play it for probably another six hours. Ok, I think that's it for now. I'm sure I'll think of some more stuff I didn't mention later, but for now this post is already enormous. Oh yeah, one other thing. I finally got around to watching the Cowboy Bebop movie Monday night, and it is GREAT! posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/01/last-two-weeks.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2005/01/last-two-weeks.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110494772959016617
So my mom, my sister, and I left to go shopping around noon. Oh, also, not only did they give me the $200, but my dad also decided to give back the $200 that I gave him to pay him back for when he paid the lady I backed into. So basically, I got $400 for my birthday. So we went shopping, fighting the traffic and the crowds, and went all over the place, and ended up going back and getting everything from Wal-Mart, which was the first place we went. That's the way it always is though. We drove probably 200 miles today, going all the way up to OKC and going to about 6 different stores just up there, plus several there in Norman, then we went back to Norman and bought everything at the Wal-Mart there. I got a really nice entertainment center, it has loads of storage space, it's basically got a five-shelf bookshelf on each side, plus a couple of shelves in the center under the TV. Then I got a big bookshelf too. I also got Mary Poppins, which just came out on DVD in a two disk set. I love that movie. I've had the songs from it stuck in my head most of the day now, and I haven't even watched it yet, or seen it in a couple of years. So we left about noon, and didn't get back until almost 5:00. Then we got my birthday dinner. Around my house, not only do we get presents, but we get whatever we want for dinner that night. Me and my sister almost always choose Joe's Pizza, which is the best pizza on earth, but is so expensive we usually only get it on special occasions. But they are closed on Sundays, and that didn't really sound that good to me anyway, so I got my absolute favorite food, CHINESE FOOD, from the place right here in town, which is also the best Chinese I've ever had. Then we all, including my dad, came over to my apartment to put the stuff together, at about 6:00. We just stopped at about 9:45. We didn't get done, we just stopped. We didn't even get to start on the bookshelf, but we're almost done with the huge entertainment center, we'll have to finish it tomorrow. My apartment is a disaster area, with wood and tools and stuff everywhere, I even had to move the furniture out of the way so we'd have room to work, so now I have to walk on my sofa to even get to my bedroom. My rat, Freyja's, cage is also on the sofa. I also got pizza, from Pizza Hut, I haven't even eaten it yet, and probably won't for a day or two, as the Chinese food will last me through the whole day tomorrow too. I just got it and stuck it in the fridge. I just got it because I had a coupon for a free large pizza on your birthday, and I didn't want it to go to waste. I barely even got to use it though, I barely got there before they closed, I've been so busy today. I'm almost looking forward to going to work tomorrow, I was so busy today. What sucks though, is I don't think I have another day off until Christmas. I might have Christmas Eve day off though, I don't know yet. Well, I have other stuff I want to write about, but it's time to get ready for bed, and I'm tired, so it will have to wait until tomorrow. Except I'll probably be working on furniture most of the night tomorrow too. I'll probably get to post though. I'm sad I didn't get to talk to any of my friends today though. Melissa sent me a bunch of e-cards. They were funny. And Alicia put a message over there in the chatterbox saying that she was going to come over and give me my present, but I wasn't here all day, so I missed her. She just came by and stuck the card to my door, I don't know if that was all she had, or what. I wish I'd been here though. The card w as funny too. It had a picture of a chicken in a corset on it, and said "A waist is a terrible thing to mind," or something similar to that. Wait! Are you saying I'm fat!? Ok, bedtime. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/12/birthday.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/12/birthday.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110351663738721889
fixed, so that way it wouldn't go on my record and raise my insurance. This wreck happened when I was on break from work. I always come home and eat, and feed my rat, and then go back to work. Then, when I got back to work, my dad was there eating breakfast, so that's when I told him. He asked me which apartment she lived in, and then while I was at work, he went and talked to her. By the time I got off work it had all been taken care of. He offered her $200 in cash right there, in exchange for her signing an agreement he's written up. She accepted the $200, a nd signed the agreement without even really reading it he said. He made her give him my insurance info she'd written down, and the agreement said that in exchange for the $200 she would not call the police, or the insurance, or take any further action of any kind against me. Of course, it's not an official document, but it's a signed agreement that would at least be worth something in court. Of course I had to pay him back the $200, which sucks because I'm poor enough as it is. He said I got off easy though. He looked at the van, and he said that the gap could probably be fixed, but that the dents probably wouldn't pound out even if she wanted to have it done, and he said that based on other repairs he's had done, even if they had pounded out, it would've probably cost over $1000 to do. In fact, they'd probably want to just replace the whole door, which would've cost even more. More than the van is even worth probably. He said that if she had gone to the insurance, they probably would've just totaled the car, even though the door was all that was damaged, because the repairs would cost more than the vehicle was worth. Now I have REALLY got to get a second job. Seriously. I have to get something, even if it's just another fast food job, even though I swore I'd never work another fast food job. I should try Subway, that seems like it wouldn't be such a bad job. The Subway isn't usually very busy around here anyway, and making those sandwiches looks really easy. Not only am I out $200 for the wreck, but I also have insurance coming up at the end of January, which will be somewhere around $500. All this will have to be taken out of savings too, as I usually even end up having to take money out just to pay my normal monthly bills. In other news, I heard my neighbors having sex last night. That's the first time that's happened. It was only for about 20 seconds or so, sounded like the woman was climaxing. It was really sexy actually. Especially when I remembered that the woman that lives over there is a very attractive girl about my age. That's it for tonight. I'm going to play Chrono Trigger for a few more minutes, and then go to bed. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/12/smash.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/12/smash.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110299739629300904
So I was over there, but I had to leave quickly, because I was getting tired of hearing my dad stomp around the house muttering how he'd "like to take a gun and shoot every dog on Earth. And then their owners. Sorry sons of bitches." All because some dog crapped in our yard and he stepped in it. Then I was driving home, and got stuck behind some old man that was doing between 20 and 25 in a 45 zone. And no one could get around him, because he was drifting all over the place. Old people should be required to take a yearly driving test after the age of 65 or so, because there's a lot of them on the road that shouldn't be driving. If they can't pass the test, take away their license. I wouldn't mind if it was me. Sure, it's an inconvenience, but better I should have to ride with someone else than going out and causing wrecks or accidentally hitting the gas instead of the brake and going through some store window, like you hear about almost every day on the news anymore. I hope the guy actually fixes the shower right, instead of doing some half-assed job and making it worse, like I'm sure he will do. I'll just be happy if he doesn't break other things while he's over here, like he always does. He always ends up breaking more than he fixes, and always make a huge mess and just leaves it. I came home from work the other day, and he'd been in my apartment while I was gone, to look at the damage in the shower, and he'd taken the towels that were hanging on the shower and just thrown them in the floor and left them there, and he also tracked mud onto my carpet. I hate having people in my apartment when I'm not here. Especially him. It's not a race thing or anything, I just don't trust him. I don't trust anyone, but I really don't trust him, another person who lives here, the little retarded woman that also works with me at Carl's Jr., has a restraining order against him. I'm not sure what for, but neither him or his wife can come anywhere near her, or her apartment, or Carl's Jr. I don't know what she's supposed to do if she ever needs anything fixed. Yeah, so I guess that's about it for now. I think I'll go play some Final Fantasy VII. I started a new game on it the other day. Everyone else at work has been playing it and talking about it, because the movie is supposed to be coming out soon, and I decided to play it again too, because I never beat it, and it was a very cool game anyway, one of the best FF games. I say "one of the best," not "THE best," like everyone else at work. They all say FFVII was the best game ever made, or at least the best RPG ever made, and if you dare contradict them, they get angry. What's funny is none of them are in much of a position to judge FF games. Only maybe one of them, if any, have played any of the FF games before 7, all they've played is 7, 8, 9, 10, and 10-2. Me and Chris both have played pretty much every FF game ever made, except some of the stupid old Game Boy ones. And I have yet to play Crystal Chronicles. But between us we've played basically every one ever, and we both agree the ranking goes like this: The best FF game ever was FF2, or what was known in America as FF2, I think it was 4 or 5 in Japan. And then FF2 is followed by FF9, and then FF7. And that's just the list of best FF games, there are other RPGs, like Chrono Trigger that would maybe eclipse FF7 if they were included in the list. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/12/anger-lots-of-anger.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/12/anger-lots-ofanger.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110253231714063437

And that was before I started drinking. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/i-am-retarded.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/i-am-retarded.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110126177238885744
Damn...
Well, I was going to get drunk, but for some reason I got sick after two drinks. I wasn't even drunk yet. I suddenly got bad sharp pains in my stomach and lower back. Kinda like that time I drank too much Everclear and felt like I was going to die. So, looks like drinking's out for the night. At least I'm in a better mood now anyway. Here's something Alicia sent me earlier: Accidently Dirty Thanksgiving sayings: 10. "Talk about a huge breast!" 9. "It's a little dry, do you still want to eat it?" 8. "Don't play with your meat." 7. "Just spread the legs open & stuff it in." 6. "I didn't expect everyone to come at once!" 5. "You still have a little bit on your chin." 4. "How long will it take after you stick it in?" 3. "You'll know it's ready when it pops up." 2. "That's the biggest one I've ever seen!" 1. "How long do I beat it before it's ready?" My favorites are 9 and 6. And here's something funny from the always hilarious http://coffeesweats.blogspot.com: A post by her chihuahua. Don't you hate it when your owners drag you to the veterinarian's ramshackle smelly laboratory only to get a rabies vaccination that leaves you broken out in hives and making snow angels on the natural fiber rug to itch those places you cannot itch yourself? Sure, I let them call me Fruitcake, FrankenFoot, Boogie Shoes, Peanut Butter and Jelly, Poochie Yum Yums, Boo Boo, and the list goes on, but this? This weekend was sucky. Im 21, I can say that. My third rabies shot and this was the worst breakout yet. They called my Bumpy Head. And made me take all that Benadryl cherry crap, they know I hate that. I scratched that little one good, I did. Sure, then I got treats and a washcloth on my head and pizza crusts, but how could they bring me to that smelly man vet? They say they are never going to bring me there again because they told him over and over again how I react to such nasty shots. But that evil smelly gave me a shot of something that made me very uncomfortable and I couldn't nap and things were moving and I wasn't and it made me feel weird and I got bumpy head anyway, for two days this time. Poor babies, they said. Poor Little Bits. Yeah well Im not going to go through that again, no way. Im going to sit right here on my five down filled pillows and chew my Kong and bark as I please. I deserve it. I am queen of this house, ladies. Where are those Beggin' Strips? I see you over there watching tv, Im talking to you. Treats! Now! Woof! Fine, I'll just take a nap now and when I get more bumps later, those treats will be talking the talk and walking the walk. Yeah. Woof. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/damn.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/damn.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110126153999865106
Closure.
I had a really weird dream Sunday night. It was about Kristina, the girl I dated for a short time almost three years ago. First, in order to understand the dream, a little bit of backstory is needed. I will tell more than is needed though, because I've never really talked about her on here much. A few years ago, it will be three years sometime in March, I think, I went to visit Chris at the Naval base he was stationed at in Nevada. Yes, a naval base in the middle of the desert. Don't ask why, or you might get a visit from your friendly neighborhood Men In Black. And I'm not talking about the good kind, like portrayed in the movie of that name. Anyway, I went to spend a week or so with him, and his wife at the time, Carrie. (That's right isn't it? I'm so bad at names, I often wonder if I'm getting people's names wrong, even if I've known them for a long time, it's just a phobia I have.) I was going to take the Greyhound bus, and also, one of Carrie's friends were going also, this was Kristina. Kristina wanted me to buy her ticket for her, while I was buying mine, because I think there was a sale or something of some kind, and she would pay me back when we met on the bus ride. I'd never really met her before, I'd just kinda seen her around once or twice. I went to get my ticket, and buy one for her as well, but they informed me that you aren't allowed to buy tickets for other people, unless they're your spouse, or immediate family. So the ticket guy had the idea of putting her name on the ticket as "Kristina Underwood," and we could pretend we were married, and that way I could buy the ticket. Not knowing what else to do, I agreed, even though it was embarrassing. We had a good laugh about it when the time came for the bus ride. It was a little awkward at first, especially with my shyness... being forced into traveling with some girl I didn't know, but over the course of the very long (overnight and everything) bus trip, I kinda started to like her, especially when she rested her head on my shoulder and went to sleep. I love it when girls rest their head on my shoulder, though it's only happened a few times. Fuck, not to sound melodramatic or anything, but I'm gonna need a drink if I'm going to go on with this. I was already feeling depressed today anyway, and this isn't helping... I just did a shot of vodka. And I never do shots. So anyway, after the bus trip, came about two weeks of living together with her. Granted she wasn't there a lot of the time, because her and Carrie were out doing stuff a lot of the time, but still. We were sleeping on the floor just a few feet from each other a lot of the time, and being in close quarters like that, I started to really like her. Of course, I'm such a lonely desperate person, I fall in love with any girl that shows me the slightest bit of attention whatsoever. I can barely go through a checkout at the store if there's a girl working the register without developing a crush on her, for at least an hour or so anyway. It passes quickly too. When feelings of love come so easily, it's easy to reassign them to another target, or to forget them completely. There's only ever been one girl that I can't make myself stop loving, no matter what I do. And no, it's not Kristina. So, towards the end of our visit, Chris asked me if I liked Kristina, because him and Carrie thought maybe I did. I told him I did, and so then this whole thing of messages being passed between me and Kristina through Chris and Carrie started happening, because I'm too shy. So, in the end, I was told that yes, Kristina wanted to go out with me, though I had to ask her myself or she wouldn't. I finally on about the last day of our time together, in fact, it was during the drive back (Chris and Carrie were coming back to Oklahoma too, so we were all driving back together in their vehicles). So we went out like a total of four times, once or twice it was a double date thing with Chris and Carrie. It was the second date before I even touched Kristina, I learned from Carrie that Kristina was starting to get annoyed and wondering what was going on, why I never held her hand or did anything. For example, our first date was dinner at Olive Garden, and a movie. The movie was "Forty Days and Forty Nights," a movie about sex, and the whole date, I never tried to put the moves on her or
anything, never even tried to hold her hand, or put my arm around her or anything. Now that I know more about Kristina, I realize that she was the kind of girl who would've probably gone down on me right there in the theater. Not that I'd ever do that. Our second date was the double date with Chris and Carrie. The girls made us go to some country-western club. They had to lie to me to get me to go. If I'd known it was country, I would've refused. Luckily, they didn't make us dance. We played pool mostly. It was a pretty long drive to get there, and on the drive there, after 30 minutes of sweating it, I finally got up the nerve to reach over and hold her hand. I was so nervous I almost threw up. Yes, I am that pathetic. What's even more pathetic is that I was 22 at this time, and it was the first time I'd ever held a girl's hand. Then, when we were at the club, we sat there, and I sat behind her, and I put my arms around her, and we sat there like that for a while. Finally, I kissed her on the back of her neck. Then at the end of the date she gave me a kiss, on the cheek. I found out a few days later though, from Chris and Carrie, that she was mad, because she hadn't wanted to kiss me on the cheek, she wanted to kiss me on the mouth, but apparently I turned my head slightly, because I assumed she was going to kiss me on the cheek. The next two dates. The last two dates. We ended up at the lake, having sex in the back seat of my car. I don't know what happened then. After the fourth date, she just stopped taking my calls. The girl she lived with would answer the phone, and say that Kristina wasn't there, and that she'd call me back. But she never did. This went on for close to a month before I finally took the hint and stopped calling. At the end of the fourth date she told me that she wasn't looking for a relationship or anything, she just wanted someone to have sex with once every week or two. I told her a was fine with that, though I really wasn't. But I never saw her again. I assume that was the reason, she thought I was falling in love with her or something, and didn't want that. I must say, in order to help stoke my frail ego, that I don't think it had anything to do with the sex being bad or anything. In fact, both times we had sex, she kept saying that I was really good, she couldn't believe I'd never had sex before. In fact, she even told other people that I was really good. I heard this from Chris' MOM. Kristina was friends with his mom, and one day I was over there, and Chris' mom, in front of everyone, said "So, Kristina told us something about you." And Chris, joking says, "What, that he's good in bed?" and starts laughing, and his mom was like "Actually, yes, she said she couldn't believe he'd never had sex before." It was very embarrassing. So, from this point I never heard from her again. I never knew what happened, or why she stopped taking my calls. And too this day I still have no idea. I've never even seen her around town or anything. I've only seen her once since that last date. A few months later I was over at Chris' mom's house again, visiting him and Carrie because he was home on leave again, and Carrie came in with Kristina. Luckily, they went back into another room together to talk or something. So I didn't have to decide what to do or say. We both just acted like the other wasn't there the whole time. Oh, also, not too long after that last time I saw Kristina, Carrie and Chris got divorced. It turns out she'd been cheating on him, a lot. She'd been going out partying and stuff and cheating on him. Ok, so finally, the dream. In a way, the dream provided the closure I never got in real life. Sadly, I don't remember most of the dream, I mainly just remember the very end. I know this makes it annoying to have to hear about, but I don't care. So in the dream, me and Kristina were having to be around each other for some reason, working together, or something. And so we were talking to each other again. Not really being really friendly or anything, but talking and stuff. Then I went home, and I was sending her some IMs for some reason, mostly just links to stuff I thought she'd think was funny. Then I had to go back to where she was to get something from her. And so I got whatever it was, I think it was a book, and then we just kinda stood there in awkward silence for a while. Then this conversation took place: Her: So what's going on here? Me: What do you mean? Her: Like these IM's and stuff. Me: What, they're just things I thought you would think were funny! Her: Why won't you just admit you still love me! Me: Because I don't love you! Because you never loved me! Her: (kinda hangs her head) That's true. I'm sorry. And, unfortunately, my alarm went off right there, and woke me up. I wish I could've seen what would happen next. And now, an hour, and two drinks later, this huge post is done. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/closure.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/closure.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110125439076764795 http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mfishsinkers.html http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag/mfishsinkers.html posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/fishermen-and-hunters-are-destroying.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/fishermen-and-hunters-are-destroying.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=110125007384643009 http://search.store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/nsearch?query=python&first=10&only=0&categ=all&catalog=oxfordoutlet http://search.store.yahoo.com/cgi-bin/nsearch?query=python&first=10&only=0&categ=all&catalog=oxfordoutlet posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/i-want-all-of-these.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/i-want-all-of-these.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110124962280380108 http://aolnetscape.workopolis.com/servlet/Content/qprinter/20041023/CHINATEN23 http://aolnetscape.workopolis.com/servlet/Content/qprinter/20041023/CHINATEN23 posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/10-things-chinese-do-far-better-than.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/10things-chinese-do-far-better-than.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110124852445175133 http://www.maximonline.com/stupid_fun/articles/article_256.html http://www.maximonline.com/stupid_fun/articles/article_256.html "As a guy, youre expected to know a lot about a lot of things.

http://www.mcsweeneys.net/2004/11/8pille.html On the Utility of Minneapolis-St. Paul as a Base of Operations for Various Well-Known Superheroes or Super Teams. BY KEITH PILLE ---Spider-Man: Poor. The lack of a single, concentrated downtown area would greatly hinder Spider-Man's preferred method of transportation. Given that there's not much higher than three stories after you get out of the two downtowns, swinging from building to building isn't going to work. It's not difficult to imagine Spider-Man standing on Nicollet Mall in downtown Minneapolis, hearing that thugs have taken over the Xcel Center over in St. Paul, and cursing under his breath as he runs to I-94, forced to affix a web to the top of a bus and ride it across town. The X-Men: So-so. Their initial problem would be that no one around here seems to have much of a problem with mutants. With no one trying to wipe them out, the X-Men would lose some of their edge. They would run the risk of turning into hypersensitive college kids who go around looking for the slightest excuse to be outraged. They'd have more of a reason to stick around, though, after the inevitable burst of mutant jokes on the local classic-rock morning show. Those guys can be very cruel. Batman: Also so-so. No real deal-breakers to Batman setting up shop here, but lots of annoying obstacles: lack of dramatic places to stand and brood over the cityscape; difficulty of driving the Batmobile at high speeds through some of the St. Paul street vortices (watch the ice on the road!); necessity of getting cozy with two police chiefs instead of one commissioner; and lack of a paralyzing, all-pervading criminal culture (although he'd be welcome to come to my neighborhood, starting with the three middle-aged fat guys who think riding little putt-putt scooters three abreast at 20 mph down Minnehaha Parkway is AWESOME). Superman: No problem. The Incredible Hulk: No problem. Hulk's in the Superman club. When your main thing is smashing things, location is less of a factor. Hulk could smash very effectively in Falcon Heights, for example. Wonder Woman: Poor. People around here just wouldn't cotton to a woman dressed like that, especially one carrying a magic lasso. Well, some folks would like that quite a bit, but some would make a stink about it. Aquaman: Most people seem to like him, but Garrison doesn't, so it's a no-go. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/on-utility-of-minneapolis-st-paul-as.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/onutility-of-minneapolis-st-paul-as.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110122508937070786

you know it too but you pretend not to. and that would make you eligible for name calling. the kids that i speak of right now are in chat rooms, on message boards, and playing online games. all theyre doing is talking shit to each other, insulting total strangers using foul language that immediately turns sexual in violently creative ways. nicolette sheridans bare back means nothing to them. and thats why i love them. and thats why i spend each day giving them every tip that i know. and at 111 years old i have my fair share. todays tip is this soon shall pass. youre old, big brother. everything youve done these last four years have only proven that the only thing youre any good at is winning elections, dividing the nation, giving the world a reason to hate us, and killing off our brave soldiers. piss on the constitution all you want youre dying the same way you lived predictably gutlessly and godlessly dishonest. you act as if this isnt the biggest strongest greatest smartest nation ever. you act like you have little mans syndrome. you act like someone is smarter than you you act like if given a fair fight youd lose so you cheat and somehow you still lose. and you'll never own me. and when the first kid makes it to the top and looks right in to the camera and when that red light comes on she'll smile and say fuck. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/you-will-never-own-me.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/you-will-neverown-me.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110098449403646776

Bah, humbug!
I'm seriously almost starting to hate Christmas. I love Christmas, but I'm sick of having to deal with it earlier and earlier each year. Of course, there's the well-known problem with stores putting up their Christmas stuff for sale even before Halloween, but even that's getting worse. Now they not only have the Christmas stuff for sale by then, but by a week before Halloween they've gotten rid of all the Halloween stuff to make room for the Christmas stuff. Now this year though, normal people are doing it too, not just businesses. The Loves convenience store had their Christmas decorations all over the store the day after Halloween, and some houses around town here have already had theirs up and on for a week now. The city has put up all its Christmas decorations on Main Street even. And now, one of the radio stations has declared that they are playing "Nothing but Christmas until Christmas." They are going to be a 24 hour Christmas music station for a month and a half. It's hard to get in the Christmas spirit when it's still 60-something degrees outside, and 90% of the trees are still green and have their leaves. People are still having to mow their lawns even. I baked a cake the other night, and it actually turned out good. Really good! posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/bah-humbug.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/bah-humbug.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110091433899737961

X-Box Live
I finally got connected to X-Box Live. Right before I went to bed last night, I looked at that subscription code and realized that that wasn't a 6, it was a G. It's really hard to tell. So I got connected this evening, and I've been playing Halo 2 for the last couple of hours. My X-Box Live ID is BygoneDust, if anyone wants to find me on there. You'll know it's me, because I'll be the one that sucks. Everyone says this will improve my skills though, and so far I think it is. I've been playing in a party with Chris, and he's ranked 6, so it's been putting me in games with people who's ranks are way above mine. Which also caused me to go up really fast at first. You start off at level 1, or maybe 0, I'm not sure, but after just a couple of games, I was already up to a 3. I seem to be holding steady at a three now though. Chris just had to get off Live, so I will be playing some games of my own now, so it should match me up with people closer to my level, so maybe I'll do a little better. I'm lagging really bad sometimes. I don't think my so called high-speed internet is as fast as it should be. It's only downloading files somewhere between two and three times the speed that my dial-up connection was. I've gotten killed by the lag a couple of times. One time I was in a gun emplacement, and I was firing at a Ghost, and I was lagging, and so the Ghost was jumping around the screen so much, I couldn't even hit it, and it took me out. In one of the games, I killed some guy named "Moe Lester" several times. That name cracks me up. I told Chris about it and he was laughing and saying "That name's just wrong." I'm off tomorrow, so I'll probably be on Live most of the day. Unless I stay up too late playing it tonight. I think I'll just play a couple more games, and then stop. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/x-box-live.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/x-box-live.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110075128572251789
Tech Trouble
God dammit, if it's not one thing, it's another. I'm about sick of this. I've been wrestling with my computer all day. Yes, physically wrestling with it. Well, some of the time at least. Running 50-feet of Ethernet cable over and behind furniture and tucking it underneath the carpet, and around corners, and tacking it to the wall over here, and trying not to trip over it here, is all pretty physical, and very close to wrestling. Or in my mind it is. So anyway, I now have high-speed internet through the local cable company. I've had it for 11 hours now, and I'm just now getting every set up and working. A week or so ago, I received an ad from Cebridge, the local cable company, advertising this really good offer they have for high-speed internet. You have to sign up for one year, and the first six months are only $14.95 a month, and then it goes up to either $22.95, or $24.95, I forget which. Either way, that's the same as I'm paying now for my Earthlink through a dial-up connection. Of course, this also has "fees and taxes" applied to it, and I have no idea how much those are going to be. They wouldn't tell me, they said they couldn't even give me an estimate until they had me all hooked up and everything. So the guy was supposed to come install it today, and he did, but I was expecting him that early, I figured I'd be waiting all day. I woke up at 9:00am, and took my shower a few minutes later, and was barely getting out of the shower when he knocked, I had to hurry and throw some clothes on because I wasn't even dressed yet. It was about 9:30 when he got there, and he was gone by 9:55. I have to run 50 foot of cable across the apartment because I wanted to be able to connect both the computer and the X-Box to it, but they are on completely opposite ends of the apartment. I wanted to have him install the line in my bedroom by the computer, but he said they aren't allowed to make any new outlets in the apartment walls. He can only run it through a pre-existing outlet, which is in the living room. But what if sometime in the future I want to get cable or satellite TV service, how will they run that? So, he got it installed, but I couldn't use it until I drove the 20-something miles to Best Buy to buy an assload of cable. I took some measurements of the walls, since I wanted to run it all along the walls as out of the way as possible, and my rough measurements ended up being about 50 feet, give or take a few feet. So I decided I would buy 75 feet, if they had it, to be safe. I got there and they had 50 feet, for about $35, and 100 feet, for $72. Nothing in between. I got the 100 feet, which cost me $78 with tax, and brought it home and hooked everything up. I ran the cable around like I was going to, but it looked like I didn't even use half of it, so I decided that I would roll it all back up and take it back, telling them I bought the wrong thing. It didn't even look like it had been opened. I was going to do this on my next day off, because I didn't want to have to drive all
the way up there again today. I got online, and it was all working fine, so I surfed the Internet for a few hours, and made the several posts I've made today. But then I tried to go set up XBox Live service so I can play Halo 2 online. I was planning on just switching the cords out all the time, unplugging it from the computer, and plugging it into the X-Box when I wanted to play. It turns out you can't do that, because of the different IP addresses or something. The tech support line said I have to buy a router to do that. So I went back up to Best Buy after all tonight, and took the cord back, and got a 50 foot cord, which fit perfectly, and I do mean perfectly, and the cheapest router I could find. Those cost me $90 together, and yes, I did get a full refund on the cable I took back. So when I got home, I had to hook up the router, and all the cables, and run the cable around the furniture and under the carpet and everything again. And I got it all hooked up and set up, and it still didn't work, but at least I knew why this time, from what they told me during my last tech support call. Whenever you hook it up to something new, you have to call them to reset the IP number, so I did, and reinstalled it all again, and now it seems to be working fine, I can get onto the computer, and X-Box Live, at the same time even. Hooray! But... A new problem has arisen. I got on X-Box live to set up my account. Halo 2 comes with a card for a two month free trial subscription, it has a code on it that you enter when setting up your account. The code on my card doesn't work! It keeps telling me the code is not valid. I've tried it four time, I even tried entering it in all capitals and then in all lowercase. I can't get it to work! And I can't afford to have to pay for my subscription right now. Not after spending almost $100 on cables and a router. So, maybe I'll get the code to work tomorrow or something, I hope so. But for now, I'm through messing with it all. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/tech-trouble.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/tech-trouble.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110066179135887865 http://www.mcphee.com/amusements/current/11377.html http://www.mcphee.com/amusements/current/11377.html "Every town has a Crazy Cat Lady.

And something else: Damn. I wanted to sign myself up for Pimp My Ride, but I am too old. I have to be between the ages of 18-22. That blows. Discrimination. All I really want is for them to clean my car and maybe remove the cement that was splattered on it. And replace the runners. That's all I ask. I promise to be excited. "Oh shit! Check out the carpets, yo! They all vacuumed and shit! That is sweet, bro." Then I'll hug Xzibit and thank him for pimpin' my ride. But since I'm too old, I guess I should let go of that dream. Perhaps VH1 can create a show called "Please Clean My Car."
Assface: On my way to a Halloween party last night, I was on the subway, when a big retarded black guy decided to stand by me. He smelled quite bad. A guy sitting across from me, who I think was drunk, had a face on that made it seem like he was smelling a septic tank. He then blurted out, "I don't know who the fuck is releasing bodily functions, but it's nasty. Fartin' ass on the subway. Who does that?" Fartin' ass. I couldn't help but laugh. Today, a mother was walking with her son and they were carrying groceries. They had stopped to readjust the bags. The son then dropped a bag, only after the mother had given him too much to carry. The bag he dropped apparently contained crackers in it. She said, "Those were the crackers, assface. Those. Were. The crackers." She called her son assface. Perhaps that was his Halloween costume, but I'm not sure. I guess he ruined his mom's Annual Halloween Cracker Extravaganza. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/funny-stuff.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/funny-stuff.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110048924307321918 https://www01.charityfolks.com/cfauctions/auction_bid.asp?AuctionID=353&catname=The%20Paris%20Review%20Auction https://www01.charityfolks.com/cfauctions/auction_bid.asp?AuctionID=353&catname=The%20Paris%20Review%20Auction Oh, wow, I'd really love to have this.

Holy crap...
Holy crap, the early dark usually doesn't mess me up, but tonight it sure did. I've only been home from work since 3:30pm, but it seems like it's been forever. I just got done watching a DVD, and when it ended, I thought, "Guess I'll play Halo 2 now. Wait, what time is it, it's probably almost 10:00 isn't it?" Then I looked at the clock, and it was 6:45. The main thing that threw me was that I went outside when it was dark, something I've barely done in months. I used to be a night person, I'd only leave the house by choice at night, but now since I started working mornings, I've barely left the house after dark in months. Anyway, I left about 5:30 to go get some burgers for dinner, and it was already dark, and it made it feel like it was really late. I'm ready for bed, but it's only 7:10. So, yeah, Halo 2. It's great. Maybe not as good as my expectations, but there's no way it could live up to people's expectations after they've been building up for over a year, with all these wild rumors and everything on the internet and in magazines. There's nothing wrong with it, but it's almost a disappointment after what I had in my imagination. Really, it's a great game. I'm not very far in it though, I'll admit, I suck at Halo, especially multiplayer. I'm only maybe halfway through, I'm not sure. I haven't played the multiplayer yet, but I have roamed alone through the multiplayer stages, and they look great. They're all huge. Well, most of them anyway, there's a few smaller ones. I really want to play it, but I haven't gotten to yet. I don't really want to tell you much about the game, because there are a lot of surprises and twists in the plot, most of which I haven't even gotten to yet. There's a lot of humor too, wisecracks made by the Marines and stuff like that. In fact, one of the Marines it even voiced by the comedian David Cross. One of my favorite jokes so far in the game is this one part where there's this beautiful, sweeping landscape, and one of the Marines says, "Wow, look at that, it's like a postcard. 'Dear Sarge, Kicking ass across the universe, wish you were here,'" and Sergeant Johnson gets on the radio and says "I heard that." I had other things I wanted to say, but I can't really remember them now. I'm tired now. I'm sure I'll remember it later. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/holy-crap.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/holy-crap.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=110030893516366337
Time
Cry me a river...
Fuck it. Everything's broken. Everything sucks. What happened? Last Saturday was one of the best days of my life, but ever since then, nothing's gone right. For some reason it won't let me sign into my Personal Earthlink Start-page, so I can't even read the fucking news. It keeps telling me "invalid username or password." I even went and did the "I forgot my password" thing, and it verified my identity, and gave me a new password. But it's still giving me the same error message, even with the new password. Also, my internet browser or something is fucking up. For the last few days I haven't even been able to go to half the websites I want to go to. I click the link, or type the address, and it just goes to a blank white page, and loads forever. It will load for as long as I leave the window open, but nothing ever shows up, no matter how many times I hit reload or click the link again. It took me about an hour to get Blogger to open so I could even write this post. And then, on most of the webpages, even the ones that it will let me go to, they don't work right. The page loads, everything that should be there, is there. But yet, for some reason, the page still continues loading, and it does this for as long as I leave it open. Also, everywhere I go, everyone is acting like even bigger bitches and assholes than usual. For example: I, like everyone else at work, have been looking forward to November the 9th for about a year now, because that's when Halo 2 comes out. I already have my copy reserved and paid for. I even put the 9th and 10th in the request off book on September 10th, TWO MONTHS before the date I wanted off. And Allen didn't fucking give me either day off. He's got almost everyone working that day. He did it on purpose, because he's sick of hearing us all talk about Halo 2 all the time, and how much we are looking forward to it. He's got more than enough people working that day, and is still making me work. And Murray, the only person who did get that day off, even though he didn't request it, won't switch days with me, because he wants the 9th off too. I offered to work two days for Murray, in exchange for him working for me this one day, and he still won't do it! I've had it in the request off book for two months, I should have gotten at least one of the two days off! My mom bought me a set-top TV antenna thing, so I could at least watch the local networks. It has a built in signal amplifier and everything. The salesmen, and the box, everything all said it would definitely work for me. They said it would pick everything up, no matter where I live, even if I am in an apartment, on the ground floor, with other buildings all around me. It doesn't fucking work. It won't pick up a damn thing. I was finally, after fiddling with it and changing the position for like an hour, able to get it to pick up CBS at least good enough I could watch the election coverage, but barely. And the election. I'm not even going to fucking talk about that. At least not yet. The pain is still too fresh. And http://www.audiostarproductions.com/bunny/timecover.jpg God, I've seriously felt like crying ever since I walked in the door from work today. All the built up stress and emotions from the last week. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/cry-me-river.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/11/cry-me-river.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109961478127610174
I believe we do whatever it takes to lead our troops to success and bring them home safe. And when they do come home, I believe we begin by rebuilding an America with a strong middle class where everyone has the chance to work and the opportunity to get ahead. Tomorrow, you can choose a fresh start. You can choose a president who will defend America and fight for the middle-class. You can choose between four more years of George Bush's policy to ship jobs overseas and give tax breaks to the companies that do it -- or a president who will reward the companies that create and keep good jobs here in the United States of America. Tomorrow you will face a choice between four more years of George Bush's giveaways to the big drug companies and the big HMOs -- or a president who will finally make health care a right, and not a privilege, for every American. This election is a choice between four more years of tax giveaways for millionaires along with a higher tax burden for you -- or a president who will cut middle-class taxes, raise the minimum wage, and make sure we guarantee women an equal day's pay for an equal day's work. Tomorrow, America faces a choice between four more years of an energy policy for big oil, of big oil, and by big oil -- or a president who finally makes America independent of Mideast oil in ten years. A choice between George Bush's policy that just yesterday showed record profits for oil companies and record gas prices for American consumers. I believe that America should rely on our own ingenuity and innovation, not the Saudi Royal family. Tomorrow this campaign will end. The election will be in your hands. If you believe we need a fresh start in Iraq; if you believe we can create and keep good jobs here in America; if you believe we need to get health care costs under control; if you believe in the promise of stem cell research; if you believe our deficits are too high and we're too dependent on Mideast oil then I ask you to join me and together we'll change America. I ask for your vote and I ask for your help. When you go to the polls bring your friends, your family, your neighbors. No one can afford to stand on the sidelines or sit this one out. And in return for your hard work, you have my commitment to always fight for you, to always be on your side. In the words of Bruce Springsteen that have become the theme of this campaign. "We've made a promise we swore we'd always remember...no retreat and no surrender." Tomorrow we will change America and with your help I will always keep that promise to you.

Fun Time!
Last night was the most fun I've had in ages. As I said I was going to the other day, last night I went out with my friends. Me, Alicia, Chris, Chris' fiancee Candice, and her friend Lindy (I guess that's how it's spelled, I've never heard that name before) all went to Huxtlers in Norman to play pool. Dave couldn't make it, as his little girl was sick and had to go to
the hospital for some reason. I got off work, a little early too, and went home and called Chris, but he and Candice were at her parent's house, and would be there until it was time to go play pool, which would be around 8:00 or so, so I had a few hours to kill. So I got online, and me and Alicia talked for a while, and then I had to get offline to finish getting ready, and so Chris could call me when he and Candice got back. It was still only about 7:00, but I decided to play it safe, in case they got back early. Then a few minutes later, Alicia showed up, and we watched Goldmember until Chris finally called sometime around 8:30. But he informed me of a small problem. His brother wanted to go with us. As long as I've known Chris, his brother's been in and out of jail, usually for drugs. He's got another warrant out for his arrest right now, so he's been hiding out, but he wanted to go play pool with us. Chris had a plan though, and came up with a story for me and Alicia to go along with. The story was this: That day had been the big OU/OSU football game, and Huxtlers, and in fact most of Norman, would probably be full of people partying, so there would likely be a lot of cops out, especially at a bar/pool hall like Huxtlers. So Chris told his brother that Alicia had already been up to Huxtlers just a while ago, and there had been cops there at the door, to make sure no one got out of hand. The plan worked, and Chris' brother stayed behind. We had decided to take separate cars. Me and Alicia would go in my car, and Chris and Candice would be in their Jeep, so when he called, Alicia and I drove over to Chris' parent's house to meet up with them. Then we drove to Norman. I had to follow them closely, because first we had to pick up Lindy, who lived in Norman not too far from Huxtlers. The car drive to Norman and Huxtlers was fun. Alicia kept messing with my radio, and for some reason she did it with her feet. She kept putting her feet up on the dash, and she kept pressing the radio buttons and turning the dials, all with her foot. Then she wrote "bitch" on my window with her toe. Then a medley of songs from Grease came on the radio, and she really got into it. She knew all the words and sang and danced in her seat. It was great. I was kinda dissappointed when we got to Huxtlers, because I don't really like playing pool, and the car ride was so fun. I actually had fun playing pool even. For one, it wasn't as one-sided as usual, because Chris, who is usually very good, hadn't gotten to play in quite some time. I haven't played in a year or two either, though. But basically, we all sucked last night. When we first got there, Candice and Lindy sat at the bar for a while, so the first five games were me and Alicia on a team, against Chris. In the end, it was 3 games to 2. Chris had the three. But about the only reason me and Alicia got those two were because he'd lose by scratching on the 8-Ball or something. Then Candice and Lindy came over and we did two teams, Me and Alicia against Candice and Lindy, with Chris playing whichever team won. Me and Alicia won, but Chris beat us. Then me and Alicia sat out a game or two. Then I played one last game against Chris. Those last two games I started doing really well. I played the best I'd ever played before, even Chris agreed. It still wasn't that great, but it was really good for me. Then me and Alicia left. Chris, Candice and Lindy stayed behind, because Candice and Lindy wanted to have some more drinks. So me and Alicia drove back to Purcell, and she went home. Alicia was about to pass out by this time, and I was pretty tired as well. I went in and got online for a few minutes, just to check my email and stuff, and Alicia was online as well, and we talked for a few more minutes. Then I went to sleep. It was a great night. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/10/fun-time.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/10/fun-time.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109928195986583286

BY DAVID NG ---GRIMACE: What am I? GENETICIST: That is a very interesting question indeed. And we should begin by briefly discussing your known history. According to your records, you were born as "Evil Grimace," with four deft arms, and a penchant for amusing yourself by stealing milkshakes from small children. Then, in 1974, you experienced a change of heart, a loss of two arms, and a metamorphosis into what is your current incarnationa supposedly warm, gentle, and seemingly living representation of the "embodiment of childhood." GRIMACE: Is that why I have only one orifice? GENETICIST: Perhaps so, as childhood is a period marked by the most basic of bodily functions. In truth, it is that kind of interesting nuance that makes me suspect your being a genetically modified organism. Furthermore, the timing of your appearance coincides perfectly with a social phenomenon during the '70s. A time when discussing human cloning was culturally fashionable, when books like The Boys From Brazil and In His Image appeared on bestseller lists. Also, you are purple like a giant areola. GRIMACE: How can I find out more? GENETICIST: A promising course of action is to try genetic counseling. Which, in the conventional sense, suggests that we investigate your network, both in family and in friendship. This is to help construct a more complete picture of your being and, more importantly, your past. From this, we will have a firm starting point from which to build. GRIMACE: But I have no family, no real friends, and Ronald, frankly, scares me. What other alternatives do I have? GENETICIST: Ronald scares us, too, but that is for another interview. Under those restrictive circumstances, one possible alternative is to contact nonacquaintances with similar traits. Perhaps someone like Barney the Dinosaur, who is also big, purple, and waves a lot like an idiot. Similarly, we could simply forge ahead and arrange for a genetic test. This is a process that will allow us to peer at your very own genetic code, and is something that will surely resolve the mystery that surrounds you. GRIMACE: Like why I am so popular with the ladies? GENETICIST: Yes, exactly! In some respects, you could be the perfect metaphor for what is both wonderfully right and terribly wrong about genetic manipulation. Due to the marvels of this technology, you appear to have luxury, wealth, fame, as many women as you desire, and yet you have no identity, no origin. If ever there were such a thing, you are an organic black box. GRIMACE: I think it's because the ladies like my massive tongue. GENETICIST: Which is magnificent indeed! In fact, seeing it now, I am struck by how similar your appearance is to that of a tongue, a taste bud, to be specific. To entertain this avenue, I ask that you take a moment to study and answer these five carefully designed questions: (1) Do you find that you sweat profusely such that you are always, to a certain degree, moist? (2) Do you find yourself a constant victim of paper cuts, specifically when handling your letters of correspondence? (3) Do you find you enjoy bathing in scented waters but are repelled by thoughts of swimming in the sea, perhaps fearing that the salt will further constrict your already-tender skin? (4) Do you notice that when you are jumping on a trampoline, the consonant sounds "l," "n," "d," and "t" appear as if by magic? And (5) Do you, during the winter season, always find yourself inexplicably and inconveniently stuck to cold metal structures? GRIMACE: Hmmm, maybe the trampoline one, but otherwise, no. GENETICIST: Ah, well, it was only a hypothesis. It appears that we will order that genetic test after all. But first, I feel compelled to present this stern warning: these tests can be excruciatingly accurate sometimes. You may, quite frankly, be disappointed with the result. You see, I cannot control the outcome of the test. I do not possess that power. I am not God. I am, sadly, only a geneticist. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/10/mcsweeneys-internet-tendency-grimace.html
Yankees Jokes
I never talk about sports on here, mostly because I hate sports. I don't like baseball, and I don't give a shit about either the Yankees or the Red Sox, but the last couple of weeks there's been a lot of talk about them, and a lot of rivalry between fans of the two. Even though I don't care, I still found this joke I just saw to be hilarious. Q: What do Yankees fans and sperm have in common? A: One in 3,000,000 has a chance of becoming a human being. Here's some more from the same webpage. A lot of these though are just old blonde jokes with "Yankees" or "Yankees Fans" substituted in the place of blonde. Now, some decent Yankee bashing from an e-mail: Q: What has 400 feet and 4 teeth? A: The first row of the bleachers at Yankee Stadium. -Yankee StampsDid you hear that the Post Office just recalled their latest stamps? They had pictures of Yankees players on them ...people couldn't figure out which side to spit on. -Yankee Fans on a BikeQ: If you see a Yankees fan on a bicycle, why should you never swerve to hit him? A: There's a good chance it's your bicycle. -Yankees in the SandQ: What do you have when 100 Yankees fans are buried up to their neck in sand? A: Not enough sand. -Dead Dog and a Yankee FanQ: What's the difference between a dead dog in the road and a dead Yankees fan in the road? A: There are skid marks in front of the dog. -Birth ControlQ: What do Yankees fans use for birth control? A: Their personalities. -Two Bullets...Q: You're trapped in a room with a tiger, a rattlesnake, and a Yankees fan. You have a gun with two bullets. What should you do? A: Shoot the Yankees Fan.......Twice! -Eyes lit upQ: How do you get a Yankee fans eyes to light up? A: Shine a flashlight in his ear! -Big Foot and a Yankee fanQ: What's the difference between Bigfoot and a smart Yankee fan? A: Big Foot has actually been sited before! -Yankee's quick humorQ: How do you make a Yankee fan laugh on Monday? A: Tell them a joke on Friday! -Yankee IQ testQ:what does your average yankee fan get on an I.Q. test?

Hostile Horoscope
This is the most hostile, angry sounding horoscope I've ever seen: Sagittarius Okay, the party is over. Time to put away those sinful pleasures, dear Sagittarius, such as the vintage champagne, the chocolate truffles and who knows what you won't even admit to hoarding secretly. Take a hard look at your home and get serious about putting things into order. That old reality check is coming, so today would be a good time to get ready by tidying up the house and getting your head into gear. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/10/hostile-horoscope.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/10/hostile-horoscope.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109813733322834481

I can't remember the last time we actually celebrated Haloween on the 31st.

I've had 52 hits today, I think that's a new personal record. I usually get between 30 and 35 a day. Probably half of them today though, were for various phrases involving the death and ashes of Veronica Lake, which was the subject of a news story I posted the other day. Most of the other half of the hits today were for "Jamie Lee Curtis Hermaphrodite." Ever since I posted that the other day, half my hits have come from that search. There's lots of results for that search too. Most of the sites say it's just a Urban Legend. Well, most of them say it's a popular urban legend, but that no one knows for sure whether it's true or not. I also got a couple of hits, maybe from the same person both times, for "Star Wars Porn." Well, I'm tired, so I'm going to bed. I've been playing Fable for about the last three hours. So far it seems very good. I've heard some mixed reviews about it though. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/10/52-hits.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/10/52-hits.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109772522063672647
Movie Time
I've been so extremely bored lately. I seriously considered going to bed at 7:00pm the other night. I rented a game and two movies tonight, so that will give me something to do the next few days. Especially the game. They finally had Fable in, I've been wanting to play that, but it was never in. Then I also rented Fahrenheit 9/11 and League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I've seen both of them before, but I really liked both of them. I'd like to own both of them, but I can't afford to buy any DVDs right now. Well, I'm going to go start on Fable now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/10/movie-time.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/10/movie-time.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109771266931740759 http://coffeesweats.blogspot.com/ Hooray for the http://coffeesweats.blogspot.com/: Meanwhile, I am a presidential debate whore. Loves it. I cannot believe people are going to vote for that hairy ass Bush, can't they see how fucking stupid he is? Really. Mr. President, name three mistakes you have made in office. I thank you for that. My war is great and we brought everyone to justice, this isn't wrong war wrong place wrong time flip flop wearing liberal rhetoric and prefab answers. Want some wood? What a fucking dumbass. What is the matter with this country? Who can be so blind to this moron who has ruined our street cred, killed our children in a war that never should have happened and let the terrorists sneak off to increase their numbers? It makes me mad. Kerry may have a big old head and a strange looking chin but at least he is smart. Orwellian? Fantastic! That should not scare people. But it does because it's not a word most people can read off of the side of a Happy Meal box. I'll tell you why Bushie thinks the air quality is just fine, it's because he had the EPA lower their clean air act standards, fuckwad. He don't know nothing. It's so frustrating, why can't they see Bush doesn't answer the questions and how worked up he gets, all monkey faced and confused? It's because he's looking for his banana as a reward. Put him in a cage and let him play on the tire swing where he belongs. Get out the vote, beetles. If you are undecided, what the hell is wrong with you? Parasites in your brain, most likely. Or crabs in your pubes. Don't make me angry. Ah, too late. Bush is probably a Yankees fan he's so stupid. Asses of evil. Watch the debate tonight and drink everytime he doesn't answer the question posed to him. You will be drunk in the first half hour. Drink for every child left behind. Drink for his so called medicare reform that won't happen until 2006. Drink if you take expensive prescription drugs not bought in Canada. Drink if you think religion is more important than a woman's right to choose. And just to show Im not overly biased, drink everytime Kerry says he has a plan and doesn't tell us what that plan is, but dammit he has a plan. Whatever that may be, and I don't care because he's got one. Unlike capuchin monkey love child who will instill a draft and send your loved ones to slaughter and send all your jobs overseas. Vote motherfuckers, vote. For Kerry! I heart Kerry and his big head. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/10/presidential-debate-drinking-game.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/10/presidential-debate-drinking-game.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=109770316113645227

I Wish...
Sagittarius Sex and passion are primarily on your mind today, dear Sagittarius [God, yes they are...], and you'll definitely want to get together with a romantic partner. Don't be surprised, however, if the precursor to lovemaking might be a long, involved, and very intimate conversation, revealing secrets that you thought you'd never repeat to anyone. You could learn some rather surprising things as well - though nothing that makes any difference to your feelings.

Where to start? Yesterday, I guess. I didn't do much yesterday, I was off so I just sat around the house most of the day, but then when I went to return Prince of Persia, I decided to buy some movies. Movie Gallery is having a sale, buy two used games or movie and get two free. And the VHS are only $5.99. Even though I hate VHS I decided to buy some anyway. I could barely find four I wanted though. The only one I really wanted was http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0264508/, which is a horror movie based on a couple of H.P. Lovecraft's stories. Now there were lots of horrible B-movies based on his stories made in the 70's and 80's, but this one was made in 2001, and from what I hear, is actually really good. I've never seen it yet. Then I noticed they also had http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078748/ for sale. I'd been wanting to rent that anyway, so I just bought it. I'd never seen it, can you believe that? I wish now I hadn't bought it, I didn't like it. Well, I liked it, it was ok, but it was kinda boring. Especially the first 45 minutes or so. I also got http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092690/, which I've seen many times anyway, and Bicentennial Man. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0182789/ is one of the greatest movies ever. This was only the second time I've seen it. The first time I saw it, it actually made me cry. Which actually isn't that hard, movies, and even music, make me cry on a fairly regular basis. Well, not really cry usually, but bring a tear or two to my eyes. Anyway, it's a great movie, and you should see it if you haven't. Sadly, I found tonight, that two of the movies don't work. And, wouldn't you know it, one of them is Dagon. The other is Born in East L.A. I don't know if they'll take them back either, because already threw some of the packaging away. For some reason when you buy the movies, they give you the original movie box, plus the plastic box that they keep the movie in, and has all their serial numbers and stuff like that on them. I threw those away, and just kept the original boxes. Today at work was very busy. Very very busy. One of the busiest days we've had in months. It was also fun though, because I was in a really good mood, and several interesting things happened. First there was a lady that needed to button her shirt. Not that I'm complaining, but it was embarrassing, especially because at first I wasn't entirely sure if she knew it needed buttoning, it turns out she did. Because I saw her look down and she didn't seem surprised or anything, and still didn't button it up. Her shirt was unbuttoned about halfway down. She was wearing a bra, or a bra-like object, but it could barely contain her breasts.. It was great. The shirt was still closed at the top, or appeared that way, and that's why at first I thought just one or two buttons had accidentally come undone, but then I noticed that the top button wasn't buttoned, the shirt was just pulled semi-closed at the top and appeared that way. She seemed to be making a great effort to expose her breasts. I did the best I could to pretend like I didn't notice though. Then later, a guy came through with a pink poodle. Yes, a pink poodle, no one at work believe me either until they saw it themselves. It was a poodle, and it was dyed hot-pink. It was cool. I was like "This guy's got a pink poodle!", and Michelle said "Bullshit," and I said "Come look for yourself if you don't believe me. So she did. Half the employees were all standing around in the drive through staring at this guy and his poodle. He didn't say anything about it though. Someone said "What kind of GUY has a pink poodle?" It was very friendly too, it was standing in the window wagging its tail at me. The best part of the work day was when I disgusted Michelle. I don't know why she thought it was disgusting, everyone else thinks it's weird, but really funny. Part of the local newspaper was over in drive through all morning, and one of the headlines was about a pig contest. For all you city slickers out there, that's where people who raise pigs bring their best pigs, and they get judged on a variety of points. Like a dog show. I hope no one actually needed this explanation, but you never know. So anyway, I went over to Michelle and Murray and said, "I wish I was the judge in a pig contest. I'd have a swimsuit competition!" They both laughed a lot. That's not what grossed Michelle out, what did that was a few minutes later, I walked back over there and said "But wait, pigs have 8 nipples, they'd have to wear four bikini tops!" For some reason that really grossed Michelle out, and all I had to do the rest of the day was even just mention pigs, and she'd get disgusted. I'd really like to see that, a pig in a bikini. Shawn said he would too. What would you do with all the left over bikini bottoms though? You could give them to some women you know, and say, "Sorry, that's all they had, guess you'll just have to go topless." That would be great. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. After the pink poodle left, I began singing the pink poodle song, which I just made up on the spur of the moment. It goes, "Pink Poodle! Piiiiiiiink Poodle..." and etc and etc. Kinda like when I was sitting in my car, and the squirrel ran across the fence in front of me, and then leaped onto a tree, and I sang the "Yay, squirrel!" song as it did so. As it ran down the fence I went "Squirrel, squirrel squirrel," and as it leaped to the tree I yelled, "YAY!" Then I came home and paid my rent, and had a talk with the nice new landlady about some work that needs to be done to my apartment, but how I never call the maintenance guy because he always breaks more than he fixes. It would seem she hears that complaint a lot. I told her about the time he was trying to fix my toilet, and broke the tank in half. She said she'll have him come over and look at some of the stuff sometime soon, and she'll come with him, to make sure he doesn't break anything. Then I got dinner at Sonic. Then I came home and watched Bicentennial Man, which put me in an even better mood than I already was in. And now here I am. YAY! Ok, I think that's it for now. This post ended up not being quite as long as I expected, but it's still pretty big. Wow, that sounded dirty. Or at least it did to me, but I'm a pervert. Oh wait! That reminds me of something else that happened at work I had almost forgotten about. Some woman came through drive through and she looked like a crack whore. I mentioned this to several of the employees, and most of them agreed. I was telling Michelle, and I also said "And she's got either lipstick or blood smeared all over her chin." And Michelle went and snuck a peek and said something about, she does, maybe she really is a crack whore. I said "Yeah, maybe she's been doing unspeakable things to guys, and smeared her lipstick." Michelle thought that was gross too. I was laughing like a maniac the whole day at work today. Today was a great day. I can think of only a few things that could have made it better, but I'm not going to say it, because it's dirty. So very dirty. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/10/vrooooooommmm.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/10/vrooooooommmm.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109668661733370436 http://start.earthlink.net/newsarticle?cat=10&aid=D85EMADO0_story http://start.earthlink.net/newsarticle?cat=10&aid=D85EMADO0_story "EGG HARBOR, Wis. - Plans to re-enact the egg battle that led to the naming of this town in 1825 were simply too true to be good, state officials have decided.

Oh yeah...
I forgot to mention it earlier, but I got a haircut today. I had them cut it a little shorter than usual. It's probably the shortest haircut I've ever had. It looks really good though. It's short enough it stands up, but barely. It's maybe an inch and a half to two inches long on top. Lately I've been considering getting it cut really short, like a military haircut. I've even thought of just shaving it and letting it grow back in, I'd kinda like to see what I'd look like with a shaved head and then really short hair. But for now I just got it shorter than usual to see how I like it. I like it. My parents said it looks really good too. My hair was really long, the longest it's been in a few years. A few years ago, around the time I went to college, I kept letting it get really long, like shoulder length, before I'd have it cut. I really like long hair, but it just doesn't look good on me. And it makes my head and face look fatter. I have a strong jawline and chin, and when I have short hair it stands out more, but when I have long hair my face looks fat for some reason. I was off today, and I'm off tomorrow. I'm really glad. That also means I can spend the day playing Prince of Persia, the game I rented when I took back Silent Hill 4. I'm a loser. Last night I got drunk and watched The Rocky Horror Picture Show. By myself. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/09/oh-yeah.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/09/oh-yeah.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109649964899044195
Bad Blogs
I found some really bad blogs today. First is the Most Annoying Blog Ever. It's a teenage girl who writes like she's sending text messages or something. She abbreviates lots of stuff, like "school" is "sch." Also, for some reason she ends words that should in in "ay" with "ae." http://bundaberg.blogspot.com/ This first post from her blog is just annoying: yop! short dae todae! hehe.. after sch was discussion.. then met mum at ntuc for grocery shopping... heh.. now got milk, yoghurt, fruits and fruit juices in my fridge! yes.. those are my indulgence... lalalala... oh.. got wasabi peas from 'tong garden', must rem to bring to sch to share.. me frens like it... wahahha.. it's yummy.. yes, i like food... :p well.. happy... This second post verges on being unreadable: bloop bloop bloop... i am a happy girl! borrowed fren's 6600.. very fun! contemplation.. wahahha... very happy! tata... The second in the Bad Blogs showcase is the Most Boring Blog Ever. I don't even need to give any examples on this one, its name says it all. http://insforum.blogspot.com/ The first blog makes me want to kill people. Speaking of killing people, I went back on my Lexapro today. Not because the doctor told me too or anything, but when he took me off of it, I still had five refills left, so I got one today. I've been off of it since May, and I was doing pretty good, until about the last month or so. I'm still not having much of a social phobia problem, but I'm getting depressed again. Yesterday I was really depressed the entire day. I was so depressed yesterday, it was one off those times where I'm so depressed that my chest hurts. I wonder if that happens to anybody else? When I get really depressed that happens to me. Like usual, the main thing I've been getting depressed about lately is my lack of a sex life. I mean it, I really need a girlfriend. It's not just depressing anymore, it's actually starting to have a negative effect on my mental state I think. For example, my fantasies are just getting weirder and weirder. Dangerously weird. If people knew the kinds of things I think about anymore, I'd probably be locked away. No probably about it, I know I would be. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/09/bad-blogs.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/09/bad-blogs.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109649812292237918
In this game, you play Harry Townshend, who finds himself trapped in his apartment. Five days ago, he started having these weird nightmares, or at least he thinks they're nightmares, and at the same time, he found that he was trapped. None of his windows will open, and the door has been covered with bolts and chains and locks. From the inside. What's even weirder is that it seems no one can hear you when you scream or bang on the walls. You can see people out the peephole on the door, but they can't hear you. Also, the power to the TV and VCR has stopped working, though everything else has power. Also your phone doesn't work, in fact, the cord has been cut, but that doesn't stop you from getting creepy phone calls on it, and occasionally dialing out, only to hear scary noises when the other end picks up. Your trapped in your apartment, but suddenly, holes and portals start appearing in the walls, that take you to alternate versions of other places, populated by ghosts, zombies, and even freakier creatures. Places such as the subway line that runs by your apartment, where you meet some woman that is trapped in the strange, alternate dimension subway. The graphics and sound quality on this game are incredible, most of the time it looks like real video, and the sounds are very scary. Unfortunately, the game has one major drawback: the play control. In fact, I'm not the best person to review this game, as I only got about an hour into it. I kept trying to play it more, but I just couldn't, the play control was so awful it drove me nuts. The main problem is the camera when in third person mode. Parts of the game, such as when you are in your apartment, are in first person, and the game is great then, but the action parts are in third person, and that's where it all falls apart. The camera does not move when you turn, and you keep having to press the button to bring the camera back around behind you. That wouldn't be too bad, but many of the rooms and corridors you are in are too small for the camera to get around behind you, so you end up looking at yourself from an overhead frontal view, or worse. Often times there would be enemies all around me, but I couldn't even see them to fight them. Also, this is just not the kind of game I like to play. I'm afraid to do anything, because I know a zombie or something will jump out around every corner. Though actually, most of the time they don't. I was about an hour into the game before there even starts to really be any enemies, but as soon as there is, the game becomes unplayable, because of the camera, and the fact that most of the enemies are too hard, and won't die. They just keep getting back up. Which may be my fault actually, I may not know how to kill them, because Movie Gallery does not give you the instruction booklet when you rent the game. It took me almost an hour before I found out I could run. From what I saw of the game, and what I've read in other reviews, Silent Hill 4 has a fantastic story. That was the main thing that got me to keep trying to play the game, I wanted to find out what would happen next. So, in spite of it all, I recommend this game, but I hope you have better luck with the controls than I did. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/09/silent-hill-4-room.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/09/silent-hill-4-room.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109647490679446554

Lots of exciting Tech News today. Exciting to me anyway. I get really excited about these really big advances that mean the future portrayed in science fiction is a step closer.

Ricky were over there on their breaks just moments before he robbed the place. He was talking to someone asking what the quickest way to get out of Purcell without using I-35 was. Then he went inside and robbed the place. One woman that works there was taking the trash out, another was in the back of the store, and one was working the counter. He put a gun to her head, and demanded all the money. I don't know if they had an alarm she hit or what, but as soon as he walked out of the place, the cops were there, and they arrested him. This proves what a small boring town this is, but this is the first time I've ever known of a convenience store being robbed in this town, though I'm sure it's happened several times. Ok, that's where I was at when I lost the post, and I don't feel like writing anymore now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/09/titles-titles-we-dont-need-no-stinking.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/09/titles-titles-we-dont-need-no-stinking.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=109529838170611201
Wow...
Wow, I just got a spam email that featured a link to the address "http://itwasfordonotnotfornotintoat.jinglesprinkle.com". I clicked it, but it kept giving me the message "itwasfordonotnotfornotintoat.jinglesprinkle.com could not be found." I have to say that's probably the longest first part of an address I've ever seen. I also find "jinglesprinkle.com" to be very funny. Almost as funny as mikezilla.com. I'm hyper as hell today. I also got sent home from work very early today, it was about 12:25, when I was supposed to work until 4:00. There goes any overtime I would've gotten this week. I think I'm going to spend the evening playing Halo. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/09/wow.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/09/wow.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109501326541886840 http://start.earthlink.net/newsarticle?cat=6&aid=D851SVNO0_story http://start.earthlink.net/newsarticle?cat=6&aid=D851SVNO0_story Stupid fucking Nazis. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/09/richard-butler-death-closes-ugly.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/09/richard-

Sagittarius Don't expect much luck with computers today, dear Sagittarius, particularly when it comes to writing or otherwise communicating with others. Malfunctions with regard to technological marvels could plague you throughout the day. In fact, if you want to get a message to a friend, the best way might just be to visit them! Creative efforts could be hindered in the same way. Today is a great day to retreat to the old days of pen and paper! Hang in there! So, I have to say this is probably the most accurate horoscope I've ever received. God dammit, I know there were several other things I was going to talk about. Some of them I'd been meaning to write about for a week. Yesterday at work sucked. I had to stay almost half an hour after my already 9 hour shift ended because none of the night crew people had shown up yet. Of course the extra work will help with my paycheck, especially since Allen said today he's going to cut everyone's hours again probably. I have GOT to get a new job, or a second one. Anyway, there were four people that were supposed to come in for the night shift, all were supposed to be there at 4:00. One of them came in to get her check around 2:00 and said that her parents were making her quit because she was failing algebra. Stupid bitch. That left three people coming in at four. Four o'clock came, and no one was there yet. Finally, about five or ten minutes after, Katie showed up. But she had forgotten her uniform. How you forget your uniform I don't know. Stupid bitch. So she called her brother to bring her her uniform, and Curtis told her to clock in and work in what she was wearing until her uniform arrived. Time passed and no one else had showed up, so around 4:15 Curtis called Nathan to see where the hell he was. Nathan had forgotten that he didn't have a vehicle that day, and needed a ride, so he had to get a ride at the last minute. Stupid bastard. I heard today it was about 5:00 before he finally showed up. Curtis finally let me go around 4:20. So I heard today that Nathan finally showed up around five, but that was it, the third person never showed up at all. No call, no show. So he got fired. So when I got to work today they'd hired like three new people overnight. We've been having this problem a lot lately. Half our crew changes every week or two. No one we are hiring is lasting for more than a week or two. We've been having a big drug problem too. Several of the firings and quittings have had something to do with drugs. One guy went on break, and smoked so much crack, he forgot to come back. He finally showed up around 11:00 that night. But he was already fired. I burned the greatest CD the other day. Most of it is Punk music. Newer punk music. I don't like most punk music from the 90's and later, I like the punk from the 70's and 80's. Dead Kennedys, and the Ramones, bands like that. But I have a few newer punk rock songs I like on my computer, and I put several of them on this CD. There's also a couple other types of music on it. Here's the playlist: 1. Let's Get it Started - Black Eyed Peas 2. Hey Ya - Outkast 3. Snot Rocket - Heft 4. God Thinks - Voltaire 5. Only Lovers Left Alive - The (International) Noise Conspiracy 6. 19-2000 (Soulchild Remix) - Gorillaz 7. What's Left of the Flag - Flogging Molly (A fucking great song, I love it.) 8. True Believers - The Bouncing Souls 9. People are Stupid - 30 Foot Fall 10. Lost for Words - Pink Floyd 11. The Beautiful Doctor - El Mixo (This is something I downloaded once, it's the music from Marilyn Manson's "The Beautiful People," combined with the theme music from the old "Dr. Who" TV series. It sounds really cool, they sound like they were made to go together.) 12. They Say it's Video Game Music - St. N6ko (Some weird electronic music I downloaded from some guy's site.) 13. Lost for Words - Pink Floyd (So great, I had to put it twice. Not really, it was an accident.) 14. Layla (Unplugged Version) - Eric Clapton 15. Zombie - The Cranberries (Another one of my favorite songs.) The next three tracks I just put because I still had a lot of space left on the disk that I didn't want to waste, so I put all the MP3s I had that had to do with Halo or http://www.redvsblue.com/. 16. A Girl Named Tex - Trocadero 17. Blood Gulch Blues - By Trocadero and the Red vs. Blue crew 18. Halo 2 Trailer - Martin O'Donnell (This is the Orchestral music from the official Halo 2 Trailer, also the main theme music to Halo 2, I suspect.) Ok, that's enough for tonight. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/09/computer-problems.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/09/computerproblems.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109486878470547554 http://start.earthlink.net/newsarticle?cat=0&aid=910054552_breakingnews_story http://start.earthlink.net/newsarticle?cat=0&aid=910054552_breakingnews_story posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/09/cbs-defends-report-on-bush-guard-memos.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/09/cbs-defends-report-on-bush-guard-memos.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=109486487892636450

Nothing major though, just stuff like speeding. -Killed someone in your thoughts: Constantly. -Been in a car accident: Yes. -Been beat up: Pretty much constantly for the first 16 years of my life. -Beaten up someone before: No. -Skipped school: I skipped college all the time. I never really "skipped" high school or anything. Faked sick a few times and stayed home, but not skipped in the sense of letting my parents think I was going to school, and then not. -Gotten a detention: Several times. -Been stabbed in the back by a "friend": Not that I can recall at this time. -Cried to or with somebody: Yes. Fairly recently. *FAVORITES* -Actress: None, really. Though I do like Winona Ryder and Mila Jovovich. -Actor: Gary Oldman. Also, Brad Pitt, Edward Norton and Bruce Willis. -Movie: Too many to name. A few of my absolute favorites would be "Fight Club," "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas," "Silence of the Hams," and "Monty
Python and the Holy Grail." -Store: None. -Season: Winter. -Smell: Hmmm, probably the rain. But I also love the smell of a dryer vent when someone is drying cothes and the air is blowing outside. -Sport: None. -Scary movie: I don't like many scary movies. Oh, though I do love "The Ring." -Food: I don't know. I like lots of foods. Chinese Food would have to be my favorite type though. -Color: I've never really had a favorite color.

Probably the Chong Wah Chinese Restaurant here in Purcell. -Hang out spot: I don't hang out. -Love song: Alicia said "Love Song by the Cure." That is one of my all time favorite songs, but I'd have to say that my favorite love song is probably "To Love Somebody," by the BeeGees. -Type of clothes: Anything that fits. I normally wear khakis and a t-shirt. I haven't worn jeans in years. -Person to talk about the opposite sex with: Perhaps strangely, Melissa. Yes, I talk about women with a woman. -Person to talk about life with: Also Melissa. What's really weird is that Alicia's answers for both of these was Melissa.

There was a girl I went out with a few times, but she didn't want a real relationship. -major crush?: Not right now. -Are you a virgin?: No. -If not do you wish you were still?: No. I wish I'd had lots more sex than I have. -What's a big turn-off?: Stupidity. -Big turn-on?: Not really sure what my biggest turn on is. My "type" is definitely smart, I hate stupid people. Also, she has to have a sense of humor, a weird one is best. Oh, my biggest turn on would probably be glasses. I love girls with glasses. I also have a major "thing" for Asian girls, especially Japanese. -Do you want anyone right now?: Yes. *WHO*....... -Is the last person you said "i love you" to: I haven't told anyone I loved them except for my parents. And I haven't even told them that since I was a very young child. -Is the last person to tell you they love you: My mom. -Do you want to love you: -Would you want to meet: I don't know.

Melissa. -Is the ugliest person you know: Several of the people I work with are pretty ugly. -Do you want to marry and spend the rest of your life with: I don't know. -Is the craziest person you know: Hard to say, all three of my friends are really crazy. -Was the last person to make you smile: I don't know. No one, today. -What do your friends mean to you?: A lot. -What is your most prized object?: Probably my computer. Though there's nothing really special about this computer, it could be any computer, as long as it had my files on it. -What are you wearing right now?: You really want to know? Nothing. I'm a part-time nudist. If I'm at home alone, 99% of the time I'm naked. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/08/questions.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/08/questions.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109400142952098096

Late News...
My mom came home from the hospital a couple of days ago. They didn't release her, we just took her out because we couldn't afford it without insurance. They weren't really doing anything there that couldn't be done at home. They just had her laying there taking antibiotics mainly. They also suddenly said that she had e.coli too. But I just think they mainly don't know what they're talking about. The hospital up here is very infamous. When she came home, my mom said to never let anyone put me in there, because it was like a torture chamber. We went up there to see her the other day, and I couldn't beleive the state the place was in. My mom said it didn't look like hardly anything had been changed since she worked there as a nurse almost 30 years ago. Some of the furniture was still the same. The chairs in the room were these little wooden things, they looked like old chairs from a school. They were just bare wood, with big bolts in them. Paint was peeling off the walls, especially in the room my mom was in. One of the walls in that room hardly had any paint left on it. The whole room was dark and dingy too, most of the light coming from one small window, which was dirty. There were cobwebs on the walls too. I am not making any of this up. Lights in the hall were flickering, and the whole place was empty. The entire walk from the front entrance to my mom's room, we didn't see a single person, or any sign of life whatsoever, the place looked abandoned. We didn't see one nurse, doctor or patient. Finally, a nurse came in and brought my mom lunch. She told us that she was one of the few nurses there that day, most of the others were at home because they weren't needed. They said that other than my mom, they'd barely had any patients that week. It was a horrible excuse for a hospital. I'd always heard bad things about it, but this is the first time I'd ever seen it. The hospital half of it anyway. The other half of the hospital, the part where all the doctor's offices are, is newer than the rest, and looks really nice, but the hospital part sucks. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/08/late-news.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/08/late-news.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109346980462893332

Hair Cut
Damn, I've been trying to get a haircut for at least a week now, but everytime I go the place is packed for some reason. I think I'm finally going to have to make an appointment to get in. Either that, or just go somewhere else, somewhere I've never been before. Which sucks. Yesterday when I was at work, Zac came in to pick up his check. Zac is a guy on night crew. I've never really worked with him much, but I dislike him anyway. Anyway, when he came in he was wearing a shirt that said "It aint going to lick itself." I like that shirt, although I would not wear it in public. That's the main reason I don't like him, he's the kind of person who would wear a shirt like that out in public. Well, back to surfing the internet in a bored stupor. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/08/hair-cut.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/08/hair-cut.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109243921338577626 http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=570&e=11&u=/nm/ireland_atlantis_dc http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=570&e=11&u=/nm/ireland_atlantis_dc posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/08/yahoo-news-ireland-is-lost-island-of.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/08/yahoo-news-ireland-is-lost-island-of.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=109241793973912702 http://www.nationallampoon.com/terrormap/terrormap.asp http://www.nationallampoon.com/terrormap/terrormap.asp National Lampoon's Terror Advisory Map.

More of my Writings
Yes, here is another excerpt from my writings. This typifies the majority of the things I've written in the last few years. It seems this is all I can write anymore. This was written at work, for Alicia, when we used to just stand around writing weird stories for each other. This was written a year or two ago: "No Puppy!" I says. "Nooooooo!" But it was too late, the puppy had already eaten the explosives. The puppy exploded then. He was a hero, by eating the bomb he had sacrificed himself, but had saved everyone else. "Nooooo!" Shouted Saddam Hussein. "That stupid puppy! He has ruined my plans to destroy the Twinkie(tm) factory! Without Twinkies(tm), millions of people would have went into sugar withdrawls, and I could have taken over America. And then, the world!" But while he was yelling, 500 heavily armed soldiers snuck up behind him, and then they all shot him.
The world was saved, thanks to Pooky, the Fluffy Puppy! posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/08/more-of-my-writings.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/08/more-of-mywritings.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109227323849746419
I Need Money!
Stupid money. As if I wasn't having a hard enough time getting by, now I had to buy a new tire today, after getting a flat yesterday. About five days before my mom went to the hospital, I started walking around the lake everyday again for exercise. When my mom went to the hospital I had to stop though, but I've been doing it every day since she got out of the hospital. Every day but a couple when it was raining. A couple of days I've went around it twice. So anyway, I must have run over something at the lake yesterday when I parked or something. I didn't notice the flat at first, it must have just started going down when I left. I just noticed that when I turned corners the car kinda vibrated, but then after going about a mile or so, getting almost home, it started flapping. I was in my walking clothes, and barely had any money on me, so instead of pulling into a shop, I just had to go home to change the tire myself. Unfortunately, this meant driving almost another mile on it, and by the time I got home, it was shredded. So this meant that instead of just having it plugged, I would have to get a new tire. I just got back from buying it a little while ago. It wasn't too bad, it cost $25 for mounting and balancing and all. But still, I need every cent I can get. I figured it up the other day when I was paying my bills, my average bills per month are coming to about $655, but now since everyone's hours got cut at work I'm only making between $700 and $750 a month. I was making about $820 a month, there for a while. That's $655 for just monthly bills, like rent, and electricity and phone and internet. That's not counting groceries and gas for my car. So, needless to say, I have GOT to find a new job. Or at least take a second small job until I can find a better job. Though I won't do that unless I absolutely have too. I've been meaning to go to one of those job websites, like oklahomacityhelpwanted.com, that they always advertise on the radio here, but I keep putting it off. I need to use the internet, because the newspapers are worthless. Most of the ads anymore don't even say what the job is, or where it is or anything. And most of them are stupid scams or something. Half the ads in the paper say stuff like "$2000 A MONTH! Call Ashley at..." and give a phone number. Of there's one that's been in the paper literally for years, I have no idea what it is it says "Looking for 10 crazy managers to replace 10 lazy managers," and gives a phone number. And it's just too hard looking through the want ads, I never can concentrate on them, and most of the real ones are all for truck drivers and RNs and LPNs, and other types of nurses and stuff, lots of them for nursing homes. So hopefully the internet sites will be better. It should be easier to just find the kinds of jobs I want to look at. If I had a lawn mower and a weedeater and stuff, I'd mow lawns for a while for a second job, I used to mow lawns for several years starting when I was 13. It's pretty good money, usually around $20 a lawn, and it only takes maybe two hours at the most for most of the lawns, sometimes only about an hour, though for one's that small, you usually only get about $15. But, I don't have a lawn mower or anything. One reason I'm so desperate for a really good paying job right now, even if I didn't really NEED the money right now, is because if I can ever afford it, I'm finally going to start taking a karate class. I had been always going to wait until I lost some more weight, but I don't think that will ever happen, so I'm going to take it anyway, if I can ever afford it. It seems like there was something else I'd been wanting to write about for a few days now, but I don't remember what it was right now. It almost always seems that way though. Oh yeah, and since I need money so much, let me just take this time to remind you about my links over there for donations, or, if you don't want to just give me money, you could always buy something from my http://www.cafeshops.com/strangeblog.

"Cottonwood in the air conditioner." A very common problem around here. Lots of stuff about Japan too, which I post about often. Well, I take it by spells, I have recently. "Japanese Smileys," "Ancient Japanese Swordsmen," and "Japanese Profanity." Whoever searched for that last one, you may be interested in a copy of my homemade Japanese Dictionary, it's full of interesting Japanese words, including profanity and sexual terms. You may also want to pick up a copy of this book, http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0452275067/qid=1091574378/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/102-1133378-8917702?v=glance&s=books, which I have a copy of myself. I don't know what to think about this one. "Purcell Oklahoma Nude." And my site is the top two results for that search. "Master Nan Diet." I've never heard of this, but some of the sites look interesting. "Jachin Boaz." Something else I've posted about several times. They are the two pillars of Solomon's Temple, and are also an important part of Freemasonry. "Louisville, KY sex diary." I have no idea. "seemerot hoax." I always knew that was a hoax. According to many web sites, it is. Refers to http://www.seemerot.com/, which I linked to a while back. Warning, there are now banners to adult sites on this site, which further confirms that it's probably a hoax. Another search I get fairly often, "Water Gurgling in Toilet." And I of course still get the usual searches. Probably half the searches leading to my site are still searches for the lyrics of the "eBay" song by Chumbawamba. I also get a lot of people searching for the lyrics to that "Lake of Fire" song by Nirvana. Which I've also recently learned was originally by The Meat Puppets, but no one liked it until Nirvana did it. Speaking of The Meat Puppets. http://start.earthlink.net/newsarticle?cat=3&aid=D847URR01_story posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/08/i-bet-you-hate-these.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/08/i-bet-you-hatethese.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109157405747069897
More Mom
Like I said yesterday, they never did hook my mom up to dialysis like they originally said they would. Which is good I guess, if she doesn't really need it, especially considering the price. Yesterday she passed a little urine, but her kidneys still weren't cleaning her system out or anything. Today, though, she has passed a lot more, she's using the bathroom almost regularly, and they said her kidneys are finally starting to work and clean her system a little. They're not even doing anything, they've just got her there under observation. They haven't actually done anything to her since she went to the hospital, they're just observing her and doing urine tests to see if her kidneys have started working yet. Since she seems to be getting better, she thinks she may actually get out soon, maybe Saturday. So I watched my sister today and yesterday, we just sat around the house all day, playing video games and stuff, and today we watched Hellboy (just playing around with these new features Blogger has), which I bought last night. I'm seriously having to cut my spending lately, it's going to be hard to pay all my bills this month anyway, since I had to pay the car insurance on top of everything else a few weeks ago. But I still bought Hellboy though, I've been waiting for it to come out ever since I saw it. It's got a ton of extras on the DVD also, it's a two DVD set. I haven't watched any of that stuff yet though, I probably will in a few minutes. I've been playing a lot of video games the last few days, since I've been off any everything. I don't actually play video games very often in recent years. The other day I started a new game over on Metroid Prime, and played that for a few hours. Then the next day I started a new game on The Legend of Zelda: The Windwaker, and played that for a few hours as well, but now I've started a new game on Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, and have put almost 12 hours of play into it in just a little over two days. That's all the news I have for now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/07/more-mom.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/07/more-mom.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109114699692137808
Evil Horoscope
This horoscope sucks, considering what just happened. Sagittarius Give your loved ones the attention they need today, dear Sagittarius. Don't let another day go by without telling them that you love them. Life is short and getting shorter with each passing day. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/07/evil-horoscope.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/07/evil-horoscope.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109102492062598019
the night at home, but then when he leaves for work, I'll come over and sleep on the couch or something. We're still not sure yet what will happen. Who knows, she may end up not being as bad as they think, and I might not even have to watch Marci for more than a few days. But it's doubtful. They says she's so bad, but she doesn't really feel bad, other than being bloated up and a little dizzy. She feels good enough that she called us a couple of times after they got her up to the hospital. Oh, I forgot to mention a couple of things. She also gained 15 pounds basically over night, since all the fluids she's taking in are just staying in her system. Also, she takes a lot of pills everyday, for various other health problems, she's got four different medications she takes at least once a day, some of them more than once. But since her kidneys aren't working and filtering things out of her system, all the pills she's taken in the last two or three days are still in her system, so not have her kidneys failed, she's also on the verge of overdose on some of these medications. My dad and my sister both said that they've been telling her something might be wrong with her for a while now, because the last two or three months her urine has smelled so bad you couldn't even go in the bathroom after her. So, that's all I have to say about that, as Forrest Gump would say. Now for news about me. I was just in the doctor's office yesterday, finally getting my ingrown toenails cut out again. I don't even know if I've mentioned it, I've been neglecting my blog so much lately, but about two months ago my left big toe nail started getting really bad again. I had both big toe nails cut out maybe a year ago, but they just grew back ingrown again. For some reason both times the right toe wasn't that bad, but the left toe would just get horribly infected. About three weeks ago it started getting that way again. It got so bad I actually missed some work, and when I went to the doctor he sad he didn't know for sure if it would need cut out, but that even if it did, they couldn't do it just then, because it was so infected that if they cut into it, I'd get blood poisoning for sure. So he gave me a subscription for some antibiotics, and told me that if it still looked bad afterwards to call and make an appointment to have it cut out. So I took them, and it helped a little, but not much. I kept trying to make an appointment, but never could seem to, because I was waiting for a good time to do it, as far as work went. Because after having them cut out, I have to take a couple of days off from work, and not be on my feet any more than I have too. But Allen kept making the schedule early, before I got the chance to make the appointment, so I'd be like, "Well, I just call next Monday then." In the meantime my toe started getting even worse. My parents almost made me go to the emergency room for it Saturday night, but then they had me soak it, and it got a little better, so they said maybe it could wait until Monday. I called Monday morning and they were able to work me in, since I was off that day too. So I had already taken Tuesday and Wednesday off too, because of my toe, but now because of this thing with my mom, I took this whole schedule week off. The week at Carl's Jr. is Thursday through Wednesday. Well, a lot of other stuff has happened over the last few weeks since I wrote a real post, but, naturally, I don't really feel like writing about it right now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/07/blog-post.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/07/blog-post.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109098295035705073
Halo 2 News!
Actually, it's not really news, as this article is almost two months old, but it's got a lot of things I hadn't heard before. This excites me even more than that "laser vision" story. Once again, this is taken from the http://www.penny-arcade.com site, which is an excellent site not only for hilarious comics, but also for videogame news. I know that people would probably like to know about Halo 2 multiplayer, but even having played several rounds there are things I don't know information they're reserving for release. So, things I do know: if the host drops, another player is automatically chosen to be the host and the game continues. The needler, always my weapon of choice, has been nudged up in terms of damage - to see an enemy rocked by cascades of exploding shards from dual needlers is pretty spectacular. Of course, that's just one manifestation of dual wielding - feel free to use a needler and a submachine gun, two subs, whatever - just be aware that you can't throw grenades in that state. How would you, really. You can customize your model to a greater degree, including decals. By training the Covenant energy sword on an opponent for a few seconds, you can kill with one strike first you have to get it, though, and as you can imagine it's something of a hot commodity. If an asshole is firing on you and yours from a mounted heavy machinegun, you can pulverize his ledge with a rocket destroying him and his fancy gun. Like http://www.xentertainment.com/messages/615.html, vehicles can now take progressive damage - and eventually, even explode. The ghost, which now has a special super boost fasty mode, will actually shudder before exploding in a manner which says "Get The Fuck Away." Speaking of vehicles, you can absolutely kick somebody out of one and take it. It probably goes without saying that you can play as the Covenant, now. If you'd like to see these things in action, buy all means - avail yourselves of the videos over at http://previews.teamxbox.com/xbox/720/Halo-2/p1. Those are all facts, and it's important to have them, but speaking qualitatively this is the actual Halo and the Halo you have now doesn't even belong on the same continuum. They have made it clear that they will be using online play in ways that other Live titles don't, ways that will better emulate the camaraderie of Clan play. We know that features have recently been added to Live to accommodate some of this: teams can be formed that exist between multiple game sessions, tournament and ladder functionality exists in-game, and even player-made logos or decals can be created and applied to models if the developer chooses to expose that feature. Every time I have brought these things up, in fact, any time I suggest anything at all, I hear, "No, it's better than that. Better. No, better." It didn't sound like some vague concept, vast, undefined and therefore able to contain the set of all things. It sounded like they already knew and weren't telling anybody.
The story begins in Biloxi, Miss., with three boys -- Eric Zala, Chris Strompolos, and Jayson Lamb -- and one adventure hero, Indiana Jones. Handsome, endlessly resourceful, as quick with a whip as he was with a quip, Indiana Jones hijacked the heart of America in the summer of 1981, and our trio of 10-year-olds proved no exception. So the next summer, the three began filming a shot-for-shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Seven years later, they wrapped. The film, making its world premiere at the Alamo Drafthouse this Friday, is nothing short of stunning. Everything is here -- the rolling boulder, the live snakes, the heart-thudding truck sequence, and everywhere flames, flames, flames. The boys made a few inventive substitutions -- a puppy dog stands in for a monkey, a boat for a plane. But even more impressive are the things they don't substitute -- a submarine, a truck on fire, a melting face, the same copy of a 1936 Life magazine used in the original. This is not "cute" or "impressive considering their age" -- it is a genuine virtuoso work. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/07/austin-chronicle-screens-lost-ark.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/07/austinchronicle-screens-lost-ark.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=109010810685366000

So, yeah, I'm really excited. I hope it's not too extremely packed full of people, like I know it will be. In other exciting news, I've met a girl online. This one is different from the other girls I usually meet online in that she actually lives in Mid-West City, a place here in Oklahoma that isn't too far from me, and also that she is 25. Most of the time some girl will IM me or something online, and I'll be like, "Hey, she seems kinda cool," and then I find out she's actually 14. That's the main reason I don't usually respond to IMs from people I don't know anymore. Actually, I didn't meet the girl, Melissa did, and then she told her about me when she found out she lived in Oklahoma, and the girl was interested in talking to me, and told Melissa to give me her email address. I don't want to talk about her too much on here yet, in case I decide to give her the link to this site. It's not like we're going out or anything yet, we've just talked a few times. I still hardly know anything about her. Well, I think that's pretty much everything. Everything important anyway.

Wow, what happened? I've had 209 hits in the last week alone, averaging 30 a day. I checked the referrals, and while there is an increase in the number of "unknowns." All but two or three of the rest were still the results of the usual searches. "Strange things are afoot at the Circle K," or some variant, or other phrases involving "strange things." The rest are still Chumbawamba lyric searches. I figured I'd get some hits from people searching for those "Lake of fire" song lyrics, but so far I haven't. Only two of the last 100 hits (which is as far back as the records go) came from other websites that link to me. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/07/200.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/07/200.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=10886944434350964

Woodrow Wilson
"My dream is that as the years go by and the world knows more and more of America, it will turn to America for those inspirations which lie at the base of all freedom; that the world will never fear America unless she feels that it is engaged in some enterprise which is inconsistent with the rights of humanity; and that America will come into the full light of the day when all will know that she puts human rights above all other rights and that her flag is the flag not only of America but of humanity." -- Woodrow Wilson Poor Woody must be spinning in his grave.

My horoscope sounds very dirty today. Though Melissa says it's actually talking about my rat. I can see that too. But I think I like the vulgar version better. "You can please others while you're pleasing yourself. It feels natural and delightful." Sagittarius You can please others while you're pleasing yourself. It feels natural and delightful. Discoveries like these always come when you're busy with something else. Watch it out of the corner of your eye and sneak up without scaring it away. If you're trying to get acquainted with someone new, casually draw him or her into a conversation instead of leaping out with all colors flying. Something that you already put off for too long will open unexpected doors once you finally get started. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/06/my-horoscope-sounds-very-dirty-today.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/06/my-horoscope-sounds-very-dirty-today.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=108828492920170592
SCREAM!!!! http://www.qksrv.net/click-1487768-10356324 now has a http://www.penny-arcade.com/ store! It's sheer torture, because I'm poor and major bills are coming up, so I can't spend any money there! I could very easily buy EVERY FUCKING ITEM in the Penny Arcade store! And half of all the other products offered on http://www.qksrv.net/click-1487768-10356324 ! So anyway, I've been meaning to post for a couple of days now, but never have gotten around to it. And now, since several days have passed since most of the things I was going to write about happened, it just seems like they are no longer relevant, and I'm not going to bother writing about them. Don't worry, it was nothing important, it was mostly going to be a long bitch about my next door neighbors and how they play that polka-sounding Spanish music, and Spanish soap operas at a volume so loud that if I spoke Spanish, I would be able to follow the shows, because I can hear the speech perfectly. I don't complain to the manager though, because sometimes my music gets loud, and I am an extremely loud talker, in the rare occasions that I have people over, so I'm hoping that if I don't complain about them, they won't complain about me. A live and let live situation. It's not that bad really, they usually only do it about once a week for some reason. I have my rat, Freyja's, cage sitting here next to my desk right now, trying to get her used to my company. She still doesn't like me much. She's pretty antisocial for a rat. Rats are normally extremely social animals, who love human company. She seems scared of me. Here's some cool sites I found about rats as pets, and various resources for people who have rats as pets: http://www.rmca.org/ http://www.ratsrule.com/
http://www.martinscages.com/ Good for all your cage needs, no matter what your pet. I went over to Daniel's house a couple of nights ago. It wasn't the usual Halo party like usual. We did play some, but that wasn't the whole reason for the gathering. There weren't many people there either, I got there about 5:00pm, and it was just me and Daniel, Phillip got there around 6:00, and we played for a while then. Daniel had me bring my Bokken, a wooden training katana, because he had one too, and Phillip was wanting to see us fight each other or something like that. I was happy to oblige, and so after Phillip got there we went out to the front yard. The fight lasted less than a second, and was over without a blow being struck, or even any sword to sword contact. I was the victor. Me and Daniel faced off, and then when he said go, I lunged, covering the distance between us in one quick movement, while simultaneously sweeping my sword back and around one-handed, bringing it down and stopping it about a couple of feet from his head/neck area, and I just stopped in that position, while he jumped back and freaked out, saying "I give up, you win! Shit! I'm not fighting him, he knows moves!" What's really funny is that I don't actually know any real moves, that was just something natural. I've never really practiced with my sword or anything much, I just did that without hardly even thinking, a result from watching so much anime and samurai and kung fu movies. Phillip didn't want to try fighting me either. It was really fun. I just wish I hadn't ended it so fast, I was looking forward to an actual sword fight of sorts. I then demonstrated for them how, even though it's a wooden training sword, it can cut down plants of a fair size when used right. Anyway, then Shawn showed up around 8:00, and we got to the main reason for the gathering. Daniel was making Shawn watch Pulp Fiction because he'd never seen it before, and Daniel thinks it's one of the best movies ever made, next to Spiderman. It was the first time I'd seen it all the way through too. I'd seen it in bits and pieces here and there over the years, so that I'd seen pretty much all of it, except for the first 15-20 minutes. It was a good movie. It had some boring parts, but for the most part it was really good. By the time the movie went off it was after 10:30, and since we all had to work the next morning, we went home. I have to work again tomorrow, ugh. I'm off Sunday though. I'm glad.

Crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, these simple ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance." -- Robert Kennedy posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/06/scream-thinkgeek.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/06/scream-thinkgeek.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=108820816974031895
God dammit, I should've known they wouldn't show it in this Bush loving state. I was going to go see the new Michael Moore film, Fahrenheit 9/11, which came out today, but nowhere is showing it here. This state is extremely republican, I actually expected that they probably wouldn't be showing the movie, or that if it was showing there'd be people at the theater protesting or something. There's only a few theaters in the entire state showing it, and the closest one to me is like 40-50 miles away. I'll probably have more on this later, but right now I really have to go. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/06/god-dammit-i-shouldve-known-they.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/06/goddammit-i-shouldve-known-they.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=108819783940965857

This saddens me a little. Not that I wanted to go Lollapalooza or anything, but it's sort of the heir of Woodstock, and the fact that no one wants to go to it anymore saddens me. http://start.earthlink.net/newsarticle?cat=3&aid=D83C53PO0_story NEW YORK - The Lollapalooza music festival tour has been canceled because of poor ticket sales, according to its Web site. The tour, featuring Morrissey, Sonic Youth and The Flaming Lips, had been set to begin July 14 in Auburn, Wash., and continue through August, including stops in Toronto, New York, Atlanta and Dallas.

http://start.earthlink.net/newsarticle?cat=0&aid=622112626_5301_lead_story WASHINGTON - Correcting an inaccurate report, the State Department announced Tuesday that acts of terror worldwide increased slightly last year and the number of people wounded rose dramatically. The department also reported a decline in the number of people killed - to 625 from 725 during 2002. But in April, the department reported 307 people had been killed last year - a much bigger decline. The findings had been used by senior Bush administration officials to bolster President Bush's claim of success in countering terrorism. Responding to the corrected version, Phil Singer, spokesman for Sen. John Kerry's presidential campaign, said it was "just the latest example of an administation playing fast and loose with the truth when it comes to the war on terror." The administration "has now been caught trying to inflate its success on terrorism," he said. ... posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/06/u.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/06/u.html http://www.blogger.com/emailpost.g?blogID=3773360&postID=108792975648645702
I found this to be very funny. From http://toole.blogspot.com/. "Mayor Bloomie is trying to toughen the city's noise code in an effort to improve the quality of life around the city. I am all for this. The problem is that these kinds of things may be tough to enforce. You might have to give the public some rules that they can follow and actually help enforce these laws. So I have some suggestions to help out this fine city. I think that whenever you see and hear a cab driver (or any driver for that matter) honk their horn as soon as the light turns green, you may punch them square in the face. That's really all I've got right now. I'll think of more. Oh. All dogs that bark after 10 PM will be confiscated and replaced with goldfish. And the signs that say 'No Honking. $xxx Fine.' They should be replaced with signs that say, 'Please shut the fuck up.' Boomboxes being carried through the streets blaring music will be confiscated and replaced with a sackful of feathers. Anyone who talks on a cell phone loudly in a quiet restaurant will have their phones confiscated and replaced with a bag of cotton candy. Anyone who, on the subway or bus, plays a game on their cell phone, a Game Boy, etc. without turning the sound off, will have the item confiscated and replaced with a monkey (who is also mute) that will only be trained to punch you in the groin. People who are loud and drunk on any night from Monday through Wednesday will be confiscated and replaced with goldfish. I guess that's all I can think of. But it's a start." posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/06/i-found-this-to-be-very-funny.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/06/i-found-thisto-be-very-funny.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=108768286851181788
"The military have known the importance of this museum. I showed them where it was. There's no reason why this should be looted. I fully expect to see some of these looted items show up on eBay in coming weeks" (McGuire Gibson of the University of Chicago, one of the world's top Mesopotamia scholars, after the museum looting in Baghdad.) Writing in The Independent, journalist Robert Fisk said this of the looting: "For Iraq, this is Year Zero; with the destruction of the antiquities in the Museum of Archaeology and the burning of the National Archives and then the Koranic Library, the cultural identity of Iraq is being erased. Why? Who set these fires? For what insane purpose is this heritage being destroyed?" French writer and critic Jean Baudrillard made sense of what happened in Baghdad when he said that the West's mission was to make the world's wealth of cultures "interchangeable", and to subordinate them withing the global order. "Our culture, which is bereft of values, revenges itself upon the values of other cultures." When Donald Rumsfeld was asked about the theft of Iraq's cultural treasures he quipped: "Stuff happens. It's untidy. And freedom's untidy. Free people are free to make mistakes ad commit srimes and do bad things." He further joked, "Television is merely running the same footage of the same man stealing a vase over and over," and added that he "didn't think there were that many vases in Iraq". According to Baudrillard, war's primary aim is to normalise savagery, diminish any resistance but also "to colonise and tame any terrain, geographical or mental." By imposing Western culture on Iraq and allowing its own history to be decimated, America is merely making the world's cultures interchangeable. Making everything taste the same, and making nothing have any real value. Here, swap you a Big Mac for this vase. [Lyrics:] Mr. Kokoschka, it just happened again-They struck the museum like a hurricane All of our culture, it's dead and it's gone From Babylon, baby, back to Babylon There's stuff you find along the way And stuff you leave behind And it all ends up as stuff that you can buy On eBay From Babylon back to Babylon On eBay From Babylon back to Babylon In old Baghdad, they're dusting off the antiques; It's the fourteenth Guernica we've had this week I got twenty-five dollars for a Persian vase Hold the critique, I think I'll go large.

Correction: Coprophilia is "An abnormal, often obsessive interest in excrement, especially the use of feces for sexual excitement." Coprophagy is the term for shit eating. I momentarily forgot my Latin. There's not much difference between the two terms anyway, if you have one, the other's probably present too. Like anyone cares anyway. What a sick topic. Ok, so I mentioned I got a pet. Alicia knows what it is, but I was somewhat disappointed that Melissa didn't ask about it, wondering what it was. It's not another hamster, though that's almost what I got, and it's not that far from it. It's a rat. Yes, a rat. Rats are cool. I bought a book about rats as pets when I got it, and it says they are at least as smart as dogs. That they absolutely love to be handled and will be about as loyal as a dog. You can also teach them tricks. It says they are a lot smarter, friendlier, and playful than a hamster. So far she's still a little scared of me, but she's getting better. She doesn't bite, but I have a hard time getting her out of her little house/bed thing so I can pick her up. And sometimes she tries to run from me when I have her out, but not all the time. I named her Freyja. Freyja is a Norse goddess, basically the Norse version of Venus or Aphrodite. It was also the name of the rat-girl in Final Fantasy IX, except there I think they just spelled it Freya. She's on my desk next to me right now. In a smaller carrying cage I bought. Her main cage is a ten-gallon aquarium. I know I shouldn't have bought her, as I was spending too much money lately anyway, but I've been really wanting a dog lately, especially a chihuahua, and if I hadn't bought something relatively cheap like this, I would've probably eventually broke down and bought a dog I really couldn't afford. She gets really nervous when I put her in this carrying case, but she seems to be calming down now, because she has now curled up and gone to sleep. My mom thought it was gross when I told her I bought a rat, but then when she saw it, she said it was cute, and she likes it now. She's white, with a black hood, meaning head and neck area, and three black spots going down her back, and there's tiny black spot in the center of her chest. She's not that big for a rat. I'm not sure how old she is, but she's the same size as all the rats at Petsmart. I noticed the rats at the pet store in Crossroads Mall were almost twice the size of the rats at Petsmart. I don't know if they are a different breed, or are just a lot older, or what. I was wanting a really big rat, but Petsmart didn't have any. I spent a lot of money on her. Well, she was only $6.99, about half the price of a hamster, but I had to buy the aquarium, and all the accessories, and the food and stuff, and then yesterday I went back and bought the carrier and some more wood shavings and stuff. I've spent about $90 already. I wasn't able to get any money for my Yu-Gi-Oh cards. I had a lot that were worth $5, but I didn't bother selling them. I may go back and sell some of them. I said that the Exodia set was worth $149, but I forgot that my set was in Japanese, instead of the American version, rendering it almost worthless. Well, I could still get up to $50 for it, but only if I can find someone who will buy it, this place doesn't buy the Japanese cards because they have trouble selling
them. None of the other card sets I took were worth anything either. They didn't know anything about the Marvel cards, but I suspect they may be worth something, especially the fancier ones I have, some of them are X-Men 30th Anniversary Special Edition cards, then I have a holographic Thing, and a Marvel Masterpieces Thor. They didn't know anything about them, they told me to check a regular comic shop, but the comic shop I normally go to said they don't deal in cards, and don't know anything about them. Hmm, seems like there was something else I wanted to mention, but I can't think what it was. "Imperious, choleric, irascible, extreme in everything, with a dissolute imagination the like of which has never been seen, atheistic to the point of fanaticism, there you have me in a nutshell, and kill me again or take me as I am, for I shall not change." -- Marquis de Sade's Last Will and Testament posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/06/correction-coprophilia-is-abnormal.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/06/correction-coprophilia-is-abnormal.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=108760625246041700

Sagittarius No one could call you shy. Your cosmic profile doesn't exactly suggest a private person. Still, there must be a reason why you're trying to hide your inner blaze from someone. Don't bother. The person who's looking for it can see right through you. Give in to temptation. Live in the moment. When this kind of passion visits your life, the delight it brings you, it's almost too much to handle. Well, so much for the accurate horoscopes.

Jesus, I just laughed way too hard at this. From http://www.gorillamask.net/: Does it bother anyone else that our country has the only national anthem that talks about ROCKETS and BOMBS? I motion for a change in terminology, one that will reflect upon America as a fun-loving, non-nuking nation. Lets replace ROCKETS and BOMBS with TAMPONS and CONDOMS. Go ahead, sing it! To your parents! At dinner!
This would make the lyrics to the song, "And the tampons red glare the condoms bursting in air" But THIS made me laugh even harder. I'm sure the neighbors heard me...

I'm really loving my horoscopes lately. Yesterday's was pretty good too. Another one I got today that covers the whole month, says that Venus enters my sign on the 29th, which could lead to a "delightfully romantic encounter." Yeah right. Sagittarius Your problems are small and few, and you are as happy as can be about it. To you, this is the ultimate reminder to celebrate what you have and ignore what you lack. If you truly need something else, it will come to you. Circumstances take you to the places that you have to visit. There's no rush, though. If you run out of steam, lie down somewhere for an inconspicuous nap. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/06/im-really-loving-my-horoscopes-lately.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/06/imreally-loving-my-horoscopes-lately.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=108708010657088715
My sentiments exactly. From http://coffeesweats.blogspot.com/: Finally, some http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2004/06/11/reagans_detractors_say_they_cant_forget/ in the media. I did not like Reagan, he scared the shit out of me. Nuclear war, complete disregard for the environment and chloroflorocarbons, his greasy hair, his politics, star wars, and his view of women as third class citizens. I can't believe there won't be any mail service today. What the fuck? Reagan was no Kennedy. Or Clinton, for that matter. Whoo, Clinton! Shout out, brotha. We miss you. Oh utopian society, where for art thou?
I'm glad to see that I'm not the only one who's not sad that he's dead. I'm glad he's dead. Last night when I was eating dinner with my parents, the TV was on the news, and they were talking about all the tens of thousands of people coming to say a final farewell to Reagan, and my dad said, "I've got a farewell I'd like to give him, but I'd get arrested." I said, "I've been thinking that same exact thing ever since he died." Last night I opened my apartment door and a cat ran in. I heard it a few nights ago meowing outside for like 20 minutes. It has a very loud and weird sounding meow. It just sounds like it's actually saying "meow." So last night I could hear it outside meowing again, and I opened the door to look and it ran into my apartment, and started rubbing against me and purring. I let it stay for about half an hour. I've never heard a cat purr so much, it was just rubbing all over me. It even kept climbing up on me and rubbing against my face. It followed me around every step I took. I almost had to toss it out the door to get it out, it kept trying to run back in. It was a nice cat, but I was extremely allergic to it, my neck even got red and inflamed and itchy, and was still that way when I went to work this morning. I've never had that happen before. I may be getting a new layout for my site soon. Ever since they got this new version of Blogger they've got some really nice layouts. I hate doing it though, because it will mean copy and pasting a lot of code, for all the extras I have on my site. In 1986 Satpal Ram defended himself against a racist attack and his attacker died. Although he's served longer than his original sentence he's still locked up, still refusing the role of repentant convict, still maintaining that self-defense is a legitimate response to racism. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/06/my-sentiments-exactly.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/06/my-sentimentsexactly.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=108699153837819100

Current Mood: Fan-fucking-tastic. Current Music: The Wizard of Menlo Park, by Chumbawamba. My new Chumbawamba album arrived yesterday evening! A day early! And it's fucking great, like every Chumbawamba album. I do have to admit it's not quite as good as their other albums, but it's still great. It has four or five songs that are really amazingly great, but some of the others are just semi-great. The best song on the album is called "Everything you know is wrong," and is completely and utterly kick-ass. More on that song later. "You've probably seen a bumpersticker that says "kill your television!' Don't bother. Corporate dominated television and radio are busy killing themselves." -The Wizard of Menlo Park It arrived just a few minutes before I was leaving to go see Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with my sister. She and my mom had been to see it a couple of days before, and they both said it was really good. Even my mom said that it was the best movie she'd seen in a while, and that I needed to go see it. They were right, it was really good. I wouldn't go as far as saying it was the best movie I'd seen lately, but it was close. The best movie I've seen lately would have to either be Hellboy, or Bruce Almighty, which I just got around to finally seeing a couple of days ago. I did go down to Texas Monday, like I was planning. I left about 5:00pm. Chris gave me directions on how to get there. He didn't give me directions to his apartment, because it would've been too confusing, he just gave me directions to this gas station that's right there at the exit near his apartment and I was supposed to call him when I got to it, and he'd come and I could follow him to the apartment. I couldn't have gotten in even if he had told me where it was, as it has a gate and you have to have a passcard or something. I got to the gas station about 8:15, and found that none of the payphones at it worked. I asked the guy inside if those two were the only ones, and he said yes, and that some idiot has been going around and breaking all the payphones in the area, and good luck finding one that still worked. I finally found one that worked about a mile down the road. The phone worked, but I couldn't get the phone number to work. Chris had lost the charger to his cellphone, so he had told me to call his apartment number, but everytime I dialed it I got that "The call cannot be completed as dialed," message. I finally got it to work by dialing the area code and all, even though it wasn't long distance. Neither me or Chris could figure out why I had to do that. So I finally got to his apartment about 9:00, and then he and Candice made me watch American Wedding. That was the worst experience of my life, it was like being tortured for two hours. Just thinking about the movie now still causes me pain. I'd never seen any of the American Pie series of movies, and was planning on never watching them ever. There were a few funny parts, but only a handful. The biggest complaint about the movie is that it was so fucking predictable, the same reason I don't watch sitcoms, I always know exactly what's going to happen. It's like, "uh-oh, somethings wacky's going to happen now. The parent's are going to come back home." Ugh, I feel like I need a shower just from thinking about the movie.
The next day was better. Candice had to go to work, (I don't mean that's why it was better) and it was just me and Chris, and the little kid. Candice has a little girl from a previous marriage, I think she's about two years old. She's a cute kid, but like all kids her age, she can be a huge pain. Chris had to go to the base, and drop off his uniform at the cleaners to be cleaned, and to have some new rank patches put on it before he reports for duty next week. Then we got some food from Jack in the Box. I love that place, they're my favorite fast food place, but we don't have them in Oklahoma. I eat there every time I go to Texas. We took the food back to the apartment, and found that Bruce Almighty was just coming on. That movie was really, really good. If I hadn't spent so much money already this month, I'd go buy it on DVD. I've spent a lot of money this month, and now I need to spend even more. The front end of my car has needed aligned for some months now, and now the brakes are messing up, and I have to get them fixed, which my dad said will probably take at least $200. And then my almost $500 car insurance is due in August. So we watched the movie, and then just sat around watching cartoons most of the day, and then I left to go back home about 5:00 pm. I stopped along the way to eat dinner at Jack in the Box before I left Texas, and I got back home about 8:30. It's been raining for the last three or four days now. Raining really hard at time, but sometimes it slows to just a steady drizzle. Some parts of the state got six inches of rain in just one storm on the first day. It's like fucking Biblical weather going on here. It's even worse in Texas. It didn't stop raining the entire time I was there, and then when I came back to Oklahoma I found that it hadn't really stopped raining the whole time I was gone. When me and my sister got to the theater last night, she opened the car door to get out and said, "ugh, a puddle!" And I said, "Duh! It's been raining for three days, the whole state is a puddle!

Well, this post has rambled on long enough, and I'm getting sick of it. And for some reason I can barely type tonight, I keep messing up every few words.

I am so fucking drunk right now I cant even see staright. Chris is voer here and we bought like 40 dolarrs worth of aclohol and we've been drinking it, we're completely out now. He was using my computer, but he got off for a second, so I decided to write this opost. As you can see, I'm really fuvkcing drunk. I can barely stay conscious long enough t o write this. We just got done watching Scary Movie 3, it was one of tje funniest movies I've ever seen. I fell down a cou-ple of times fromt a combination of being drunk, and laughing so hard. WEll, I have to go now, I can't even type I 'm so fdrunk. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/05/i-am-so-fucking-drunk-right-now-i-cant.html http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/05/iam-so-fucking-drunk-right-now-i-cant.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=108529759002575914
tells the guy it's right there, and the guy yells, "NO! You give me a number! YOU GIVE ME A NUMBER! I'm not going to go out there and write it down! You give me a business card or something with a number I can call and report you assholes!" Allen gives him a split second look before he walks to the office to write the number down for the guy, and the guy flinches, like he's going to go over the counter at Allen, and yells, "DON'T YOU LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT AGAIN!" And while Allen's in the office, the guy starts muttering things, basically saying things along the lines of, "How dare they have the gall to tell ME what to do, when they're just idiots that are so stupid they have to work at a fast food place." That's something that really bothers me, this stereotype that everyone has that everyone that works at a fast food place has to work there, because they're some kind of retarded monkey that wasn't even able to make it through elementary school and nowhere else will hire them because they're such stupid losers. There's not a day that goes by that I'm not treated like I have a single-digit IQ at least five times. But I digress. Apparently, while Allen was in the office writing, he glanced up at the guy, because he almost went over the counter after him again, and then when Allen came back up there with the number, the guy grabbed it violently, yelled some more things I don't remember, and stormed out. The guy called the number minutes later, we know because we called them and checked. The number was for the main headquarters, but he also got the number to talk to Randall, the owner (actually the owner's son, but he runs the place more than his father does) of the two locations in our franchise, and has called both numbers several times in the last 24 hours. The first time he called Randall, he was so angry and rude and violent, Randall finally told him, calm down and call me back in an hour, I'm not going to even talk to you until you calm down, and hung up on the guy, which only made him madder. In the past 24 hours he has called the numbers over and over, and has been using such words as, "going postal," and "kill," and "kill Allen," and "kill" some more. We've already called the cops, but we don't know who the guy is, so there's nothing we can do until he shows up again. And we didn't even do anything at all, just ask him to repeat his order. Just imagine how angry he'd be if we had actually been rude to him. He would've probably exploded. Oh, and right before he left, he looked at me and said "I do apologize to you, it's not your fault you couldn't hear me, those speakers are pieces of shit." I wanted to tell him, "I've understood almost every other customer I've had today, the problem isn't that the speakers are pieces of shit, it's that your truck is a piece of shit." But I didn't because he probably really would've attacked someone then. Then today, I had another customer that was upset over nothing, though she was good natured about it, she didn't get angry or yell or anything. She came through drive-thru, and ordered two of the Six Dollar Burgers, which are actually $3.99 each, and two large fries, which are $1.69 each, before tax. Her total after tax ended up being over $12. She got around to the window, and asked me, "why is it that expensive? There must be something wrong." And I said, "well, the Six Dollar Burgers are $3.99 each, and the large fries are $1.83 each." She said, "the menu didn't say they were $1.83," and I said, "well, they're $1.83 after tax, they're $1.69 before tax." And she said that no they weren't, and just stared at me, like she was waiting for me to admit that I was lying to her. I just stared back, and after a few seconds she said, "well I'm never coming here again." Then, because she ordered so many fries, she was going to have to wait for more to cook, so I told her that it would take a couple of minutes on the fries, and to pull forward and we'd bring them out as soon as they were ready. She rolled her eyes at me, and laughed at me like I was some kind of idiot, and then pulled forward. It's having to put up with people like this for almost 8 years that makes me hate people so much. People complain about how rude people in retail and fast food, and actually most jobs, are today. It's not that the employees have forgotten how to treat the customer, it's that the customer has forgotten how to treat the employees. Back like in the '50s, it was easy to smile and go the extra mile to be nice to the customers, but that's because back then the customers were nice too. People in general were a lot nicer and a hell of a lot politer back then. Now, 99.9% of the people in this country are miserable bastards who would rather spit on you than talk to you. Most of them are pretty damn stupid too. Oh sure, we as a race may be a lot smarter than we were at any other point in history, we may know more "facts" today, but that doesn't mean we have any common sense. "Sure, they may be smart, but they don't have any COMMON SENSE." -- J.R. "Bob" Dobbs, 1963 People in the world today, and especially in America, exhibit what can only be described as an alarming lack of common sense. A quick skimming of the daily news headlines will show you that. So will flipping through the current crop of lame sitcoms and so-called reality shows. And the lawsuits speak for themselves. "My kid's fat! Why didn't they tell me that feeding my children nothing but McDonalds, instead of, oh I don't know, actually COOKING FOR THEM, was bad for their health? I know, I'll sue!" "I have lung cancer from smoking FIVE PACKS a day. Oh! Oh! I know! I'll sue the tobacco companies! It must be their fault!" And on top of it all... I hate this new Blogger program. Oh, and the reason I haven't been posting, or even online, in several days, is because Chris is home on leave now. He has to report down at his new base, which, luckily, is relatively close, in Fort Worth, TX, in a few weeks. So far we haven't really done much, just sat around and played Halo. Speaking of which, I bought one of the cool t-shirts from http://www.redvsblue.com, and it already came in yesterday, only three or four days after I ordered it. Just in time to play Halo with Chris and Daniel. I got the Donut shirt.

The inscription on John F. Kennedy's gravesite in the Arlington National Cemetary. It is also the text of his famous Inaugural Address of January 20, 1961: Let the word go forth From this time and place To friend and foe alike That the torch has been passed To a new generation of Americans. Let every nation know Whether it wishes us well or ill That we shall pay any price - bear any burden Meet any hardship - support any friend Oppose any foe to assure the survival And the success of liberty Now the trumpet summons us again Not as a call to bear arms - though embattled we are But a call to bear the burden of a long twilight struggle A struggle against the common enemies of man Tyranny - Poverty - Disease - and War itself In the long history of the world Only a few generations have been granted The role of defending freedom In the hour of maximum danger I do not shrink from this responsibility I welcome it The Energy - the Faith - the Devotion Which we bring to this endeavor Will light our country And all who serve it And the glow from that fire Can truly light the world And so my fellow Americans Ask not what your country can do for you Ask what you can do for your country My fellow citizens of the world - ask not What America can do for you - but what together We can do for the freedom of man With a good conscience our only sure reward With history the final judge of our deeds Let us go forth to lead the land we love - asking His blessing And his help - but knowing that here on earth God's work must truly be our own.
This is the weirdest horoscope I've ever gotten. It's got me all nervous now. Sagittarius Do you believe in ghosts? Some strange phone calls, e-mails, or other communications may come your way today, dear Sagittarius. An e-mail may come from someone who thinks you're someone else. Phone calls may involve hang-ups, wrong numbers, or phantom rings. If a knock comes at the door, it's more likely to be the house settling than a ghost, but nonetheless this can all be rather unsettling. Don't bother thinking about it.

Hooray! I am currently connected to the internet using Earthlink, instead of AOL. I still haven't deleted my AOL quite yet though. So... the "Friends" finale is tonight, and I can only say... THANK GOD! I hate friends. I hate pretty much all sitcoms. I didn't used to, I used to watch them all the time when I was a kid, but now I hate them, they are just so stupid. And pretty much indicative of all that is wrong with America. But especially Friends. People take it too seriously. Like Daniel, he's obsessed with the show. He thinks it's the greatest show ever made and that ever will be made. All you have to do is say "'Friends' sucks!" and he all but flies into a blind rage. He, and a lot of other people, are the same way about Kurt Cobain also. I say, Kurt Cobain was overrated. I liked the album "Nevermind," but to me, all the rest of Nirvana's albums sucked. "In Utero" had a couple of decent songs. The idiot kids knocked at my door earlier. This time they were actually knocking, rather than accidentally crashing their bikes into it. I don't know what it is about my door that acts as a magnet for kids on bikes. They can't go past it without accidentally crashing into it. Anyway, the kids knocked on my door, but I didn't answer it. I knew what they most likely wanted. They put and orange juice stand up a few hours ago (yes, orange juice, not lemonade. Or it looks like orange juice anyway.) and they probably wanted me to buy some. Like I'd consume anything they'd been near. Who knows what they could've done to it, intentional or otherwise. Even if they didn't intentionally put something in it, they could have used dirty glasses, or their dog could have drank out of it, or anything really. They're kids, they don't know what they're doing. They look like they're maybe ten years old. Just what you haven't been asking for! I'm bringing back my "signatures" or whatever you want to call them. Those of you who've been reading a while may remember that some time ago, for a while, I begun ending most posts with strange little quotes and stuff like that. Well, I'm going to start doing it again. So far it's just the same quotes from last time, mostly coming from The Principia Discordia and various Robert Anton Wilson books, but I will be adding more to my collection. Most of them are pretty surreal and/or esoteric.

That was kinda scary. I was just sitting here setting up my new Earthlink account (I'm finally getting rid of AOL tonight, if it will let me. It's under my mom's name, so they might not let me do it) when there's a knock at my door. I didn't hear it at first, because I'm here in the bedroom, and my music was up a little loud. Finally I was like, "is someone knocking?" I turned the music down and then I heard it, so I went to the door, and it's Alicia, and Kim. They're hanging out today apparently, and Alicia was over here with Kim (she lives in these apartments too), and they decided to come over, so Kim could see my apartment. So they just come in and prowl around my apartment for a few minutes. Kim said my apartment was much nicer than hers. She said she's jealous and is going to kill me and take my apartment. They were here maybe five minutes, and then left. It was very strange. I wish they would have stayed, since I'm bored. Oh shit, I forgot I had some water on the stove. I'm boiling water to make Ramen. Mmmm... Ramen. And that wasn't sarcasm, I really love Ramen. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/05/that-was-kinda-scary.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=108388536910580926
LA LA LA LA LA LA LA! I'M BORED! Don't you hate it when you have plenty of stuff to do, but still feel bored and restless for some reason? I have plenty of things I'd like to do tonight, but at the same time I don't really want to do them anymore. Basically I just feel restless, and don't want to just sit here all night, or at least not alone. I wish someone would come over. Daniel and Olivia are on vacation, so I can't see if they want to come over and play Halo, and Alicia's not online. If she was I'd see if she wanted to come over and watch a movie or something. Gas prices went up another 6 cents overnight. Now it's $1.90 for the kind I use, and the kind my mom uses has hit $2.00. And they say on the news to expect it to go up every 2 or 3 days now. I heard it could be around $2.50 by Summer. I hope not. Yay! Let's elect Bush for another term! He hasn't completely destroyed the country yet. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/05/la-la-la-la-la-la-la-im-bored-dont-you.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=108388404113811472
One of the things I needed to get dome today was getting a haircut, and I ended up not even being able to get one, because the place I normally go to was full up. They were shorthanded today too, and the person they did have was full with appointments, so I'm going to try again tomorrow probably. The other thing I needed to do I just remembered about. I forgot to do it today. Luckily it isn't something I have to get done, just something I need to do sometime. I need to go to the postoffice and buy some stamps. I have envelopes, but no stamps. So, as I mentioned, they finally got my AC back in. But now I don't think it's even working as good as it was before they took it out. The first couple of days I had it I had to let it run 24 hours a day. But now that it's got it cooled off in here, it's keeping it pretty cool, and I was able to turn it off for the few hours I was at work, and then even when I've had it on, I only have it on medium instead of high. Even if it is working fine, I need to have them look at a couple of things on it. For one, they didn't get the vents connected to it very well, and half the cold air just goes into the closet, instead of the vents. Also, it makes a weird squeal now the entire time it's on. Not too loud, but loud enough you can hear it if there's no TV or music or anything on. Especially when you're trying to go to sleep at night in the same room it's in. I'm off again tomorrow, which is cool. I basically had a day and a half off since I worked such a short shift today. Other than maybe getting a haircut, I probably won't get out of the house much tomorrow. I'll probably just do some work around the house, getting more stuff out of boxes and stuff, though there's only a couple of things left I can unpack until I get some more bookshelves. I finally got the place vacuumed a few minutes ago, and got my dresser back where I originally had it, before they moved it to get my AC out, and almost ruined it. Man, gas prices sure have gotten high here. Oklahoma usually has one of the lowest prices on gas in the country, but it's still almost up to $2.00 a gallon here. It went up 14 cents in just a few days. Just a week or so ago it was $1.65 a gallon for regular unleaded, which is still a record high for here, but then it went up 7 cents overnight. Then maybe 5 days later, it went up another 7 cents, so it's now $1.79 for regular unleaded, $1.84 for the grade I have to use in my car, and $1.94 for the grade my mom's fancy car is supposed to have. And it's just supposed to keep going up. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/05/i-was-supposed-to-have-been-off-today.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=108380564702396881

I'm a little on the bored side. I'm off today, so I've just been sitting around the apartment all day. I woke up after sleeping a couple of hours later than I had planned on, and then cleaned the apartment. I didn't vacuum, even though it has needed it for almost two weeks, because hopefully they will come and put my AC back in tomorrow, and if they do they will just mess it all up again. The reason it has needed vacuuming is because of the mess they made when they took the AC out, after I had just vacuumed the night before. So maybe I SHOULD vacuum today, maybe if I do they definitely will come put it in tomorrow so that they can mess it all up again. They better get it back in tomorrow, it's going to be in the 90s a few days this week. OH! I FORGOT TO BRUSH MY TEETH THIS YEAR! I used to love that show, Cow and Chicken, the Red Guy said that in one of the episodes. He was the greatest, he was my idol. So then after I cleaned, I just sat around listening to music for an hour or so, then I did a chapter of my business course, then I got online for a couple of hours. Then I went over to my parent's house to pick up my laundry, and now here I am. I've got a frozen pizza in the oven. My oven cooks really slowly, it says to cook the pizza for 12 to 15 minutes, but it will take more like at least 30 minutes. Last time I cooked it for 30 minutes and it was still almost completely uncooked. This time though I turned the oven up to 450 instead of 425, and made sure the oven was good and warmed up before I put it in, so hopefully it won't take too long, because I'm hungry. I spent most of the morning looking for alternatives to America Online. My mom has always paid for my AOL, but now I'm going to have to start paying for it myself, and AOL is too expensive, so I'm going to get some other ISP. Juno or NetZero (they're both owned by the same company and are identical) are the cheapest, at only $9.95 a month, but they don't look that good, and I can't find out from the site if they are unlimited access or not. I'm probably going to go with Earthlink. They seem really cool, they are owned or run by or affiliated or something with Google, and has a lot of cool features. They're $21.95 a month, but that's still cheaper than AOL, and they have a deal now where you get your first six months for half-price. I've already got a new e-mail address I set up about a week or so ago, that I've been using instead of my AOL address. My new address is now SubSpecies23@gmail.com. So anyone who cares should make sure to take note of that. I've also got to go to all the websites I have memberships and stuff to and change my settings to my new address. My new address is through GMail, which is Google's new E-Mail service, and it rocks. I've been meaning to talk about it for a week now but never felt like it. It's not open to the general public yet, but members of certain websites, such as Blogger, are being offered the chance to sign up for it, to test it and stuff before it becomes available to everyone. It has lots of cool features, the most important being that you are given 1 gigabyte of free storage space for your email, so that, unless you want to, you never have to delete an email. It saves every email, including the ones you send, and archives them, so that even years later you can always find your old emails, you can even use Google search technology to search within your mailbox to find the exact e-mail you want, or to find all emails dealing with a certain subject, and things like that. Also, when you read an email, it displays all related emails. It displays the original email, the response to that email, and the response to that response and so on, so you can see the entire conversation as it happened. You can find out more about the service http://gmail.google.com That's one of the links I've been meaning to post for the last week, here are the rest: http://www.potterpuppetpals.com/ A couple of hilarious flash animations of Harry Potter puppet shows.

Mainly because I hate sports. I especially don't agree with the part about Bush being good and Kerry being bad. Also, not to spoil the jokes or anything, but most men would not be able to have that much sex. After the fourth blowjob or so, they'd say that's enough. Even if they didn't, they certainly still wouldn't have the stamina for a threesome that night. Most men anyway, there may be a few exceptions.

Something in my bathroom smells delicious. I mean it. Actually, it's the whole apartment, but the smell is strongest in the bathroom. It smells like someone is cooking spaghetti. It's making me really hungry. Spaghetti and garlic bread. I'm drooling. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/04/something-in-my-bathroom-smells.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=108308824828257257
Mmmm, breakfast is great when it consists of an apple and a strawberry cheescake filled toaster streudel. I love those toaster streudels. Fuck Fuck Fuckity Fuck. My toilet continued gurgling all night. At first it was just doing it every few hours, but it's steadily getting more frequent. Now it's doing it about every hour. And the toilet barely flushes now. I noticed when I first rented the apartment that there is a sign hanging on the door saying, and I paraphrase slightly, "We've been having a problem lately with idiots trying to flush diapers, feminine hygeine products, and other things-that-were-notmeant-to-be-flushed, and backing up everyone's sewage lines. It is costing us a lot of money to keep paying for people to fix it, so if you people don't stop doing stupid shit we're going to have to raise the rent." The toilet is not what has me really upset though. What has me upset is that my water heater has also decided that this is the perfect opportunity to spontaneously spring a leak. The closet and the carpet in front of it is very wet. I had to move my couch out from the wall a few minutes ago, as the water is starting to creep that way and that way only. Well, just now as I was finishing that sentence, the maintenance man came by. He was no help at all. When I first rented the apartment I complained that the water heater closet door was warped, and they said it was because it had been leaking, and had just been fixed right before I rented it. They said they put a new water heater in, but there was a small leak in a pipe, but no one noticed because right after they put in in, the lady that lived here went on vacation for about three weeks. The maintenance man tried to convince me just now that the wet floor was just where it was still wet from that leak three weeks ago, and I just hadn't noticed it being wet. Idiot. I'd think I would've noticed the floor being so wet that it squishes when you walk on it. It's so wet that even he could tell it was soaked, and he was wearing shoes. He couldn't find any leak, he checked all the pipes and stuff. He said it may be the unit itself leaking, but that that's extremely rare. He also said the hot water heater upstairs may have over heated and flooded my closet, because there's a drainage pipe in the upstairs water heater closet, in case there's a leak or something, and the pipe from that drain comes out in my closet, but is supposed to be hooked to the drain in my closet, but the new water heater they put in my closet is so big that it blocks the drain, so they couldn't attach the pipe to it, so now if the water heater upstairs overheats or leaks, it will just spray water out into my closet. He doesn't think that happened either though, because he said that it overheating and spraying water out the emergency pipe is even more rare. So basically he poked around for five minutes, couldn't find a leak, and left. He put some paper towels in various places in the closet, to see if it was still leaking, and if so hopefully he could tell where it's coming from, and that he'd be back to check on them tomorrow. Fucker. I'm just glad I didn't have to sit around waiting on him all day long. Even though I don't plan on leaving this apartment all day anyway, except to take some clothes to my mom so she can wash them. She still does all my laundry, there is a small laundry room here at the apartments, but it only has one or two washers and dryers, and some other laundromats in town, but my mom was like, "there's no sense in you wasting your money, just bring your stuff to me and I'll wash it." So I'll let her continue doing my laundry, at least for a while anyway. Well, time to find something else to do. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/04/mmmm-breakfast-is-great-when-it.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=108308443654083875
reached the door yet. Well then, get off your ass and go find out WHAT THE FUCK THAT NOISE IS!" So I get up and I can tell from the sound now that's it's definitely coming from the bathroom, but what is it? Are the pipes backing up? Is there raw sewage all over my bathroom? Half a second later I make it to the bathroom, right as the sound stops. But the water in the toilet is moving. I guess the toilet was bubbling for some reason? I've never heard of that happening before, but it was. My toilet was gurgling very loudly. Bad enough that a few drops of water splashed up onto the rim. And yes, it's toilet water, not urine. Unless my urine is blue now. The fans are all running because I still have no air. They took my air conditioner out last Monday to fix a problem that I hadn't even noticed. They said it would be done in a day or two, but the guy only comes here on Mondays, so it would be the next Monday before they got it back in. So my mom comes over this morning about 8:00 since I have to work, to watch the apartment, and make sure they don't tear things up, and leave the door wide open with no one here for 20 minutes like they did last time. Last time they got here sometime around nine. But when I came home on break at 10:00 this morning, my mom that they hadn't been by yet. So I went back to work, and then about 2:30pm I called her and asked if they'd ever come and put it in, and she said no. So when I got home from work, I called the landlady and asked about it. She said they had to order some parts, so now it's going to be a few more days, but since the guy only comes on Monday, it will be next Monday before they get it in. Hopefully. My dad says I should raise a fuss, and demand a cut on my rent this month or something. He says if I don't take up for myself, they'll just keep screwing me on everything. My parents are always complaining that I don't stand up for my self. I let things go all the time. If I buy something at the store, and get it home and it's broken, if it's something that's not too expensive, I sometimes won't even take it back or complain or anything. I'll just go to a different store and buy another one. I mainly do this because I'm shy. Since I'm taking this medication now I'm better about it though. Used to it was just that I hated talking to people and going out in public so much I wouldn't complain about anything to anyone. This medicine really helps, even just the last week or so I've noticed that I'm getting even less shy and nervous. Maybe that's also some kind of self-confidence thing because I'm not living with my parents anymore? Whatever it is, I like it. My apartment also has roaches. I didn't just find this out or anything. I noticed it like the day after I rented it. I expected it to have roaches though. There's not very many, I expected it to be worse. I only see two or three a day usually. The last two days now I haven't seen any, though the day before I saw six or seven. Most of them are little tiny roaches. I'm not even sure if they are roaches, I'm pretty sure they are though. I don't know if they're just little baby roaches, or some other breed of roaches. I have seen a few normal sized roaches, but mostly the small ones. I put out some roach motels, but I don't know if they're helping. My credit card bill just came in. It was $1449. So I was right, I did spend somewhere around $2000. Because that's just the stuff on the credit card, that's not counting the checks I wrote for the deposit and rent, and the electricity activation. Alicia just sent me a link to a blog that she really likes. I really like it now too. I'm going to add it to my Blogroll. It's called http://www.girlsarepretty.com I don't know why it's called that, it seems to be just random strange stories. They are funny as hell. Especially this one, this is my favorite so far: Missed Opportunities Day! Back when you were still a plumber, before you won the lotto, you were fixing the shower head in an apartment shared by two attractive young women. When you stepped out of the bathroom and said, "Shower's good as new," the two girls jumped out of their chairs and threw off their tops as they ran past you into the bathroom. Once they were completely naked, they jumped into the shower together and started giggling and hooting under the hot water. One of the girls looked at you and said, "Now that you've proven yourself so handy with the plumbing, let's see how good you are at soaping our backs." The other girl giggled. Because you'd never soaped someone else's back before, and because you wouldn't have known how to bill for it, you said, "Sorry, I only do the job indicated on the work order." Then you left. About six years later, you were driving your van down down a suburban street when it occurred to you that those two girls were inviting you to have sex with the two of them at the same time underneath running water. You became so enraged at your own stupidity that you floored it into the thick of a group of pre-teens playing stickball. Twelve were killed. Because you weren't drinking and because it happened so quickly that there were no witnesses to prove it wasn't an accident, you were charged only with vehicular manslaughter and you are currently serving the second of you four and a half year sentence. When you get out, you'll still have 69 million dollars of your lotto winnings to play with. But every single day you're going to wake up thinking about those twelve kids you ran over, and you're gonna wish you had had the sense to fuck those two chicks in the shower that day. Happy Missed Opportunities Day!
Alicia came over last night. It was really fun. She was supposed to come over so we could watch either Fellowship of the Ring extended edition, or the regular edition The Two Towers. But she ended up not getting to come over until about 7:45, so it was too late for such a long movie. So we were going to find something else to watch. But we never made it that far. Cue the porno music. Not really. There was no sex. Though she was on my bed a couple of times, and she was a little drunk. But it was nothing like that. The night before I bought some Jack Daniels because I wanted some alcohol, and I wanted to try something I hadn't had before. I tried it that night, and it was so nasty that with just one sip, I was sick the rest of the night. I still get sick to my stomach just thinking about it. But we had decided that when she came over we were going to try mixing it with some stuff. Coke or something. Actually, I don't have any Coke, I had RC Cola instead. So when she got here we went to the kitchen to fix some drinks before deciding what to watch. But after fixing the Jack Daniels and RC (which is really good by the way. You can hardly taste the alcohol at all, and that was even with putting quite a lot in there. It's even better than rum and Coke), we got distracted by the Magnetic Poetry I have on my refrigerator. So we played around with that for probably 20 minutes. During that time she barely finished her first drink, since she was busy, but I had three. So I was starting to get buzzed. Then we went to the living room and sat around for a few minutes, and I began to get even drunker, and she had another drink or two, I think she only had maybe three the whole night, I'm not sure. Then we went to my bedroom, but just because she wanted to see what video games I have, and they are all in one of my dresser drawers. She was like "This is all just a plot to get me into the bedroom." So then she was sitting on my bed looking at my video games, and I kept joking about her being on my bed. Then we played around with my keyboard (the piano kind) for a while. Then I had another drink, because the first three were starting to wear off a little. Then we played Pong and some other old-ass Atari games for a few minutes, and just generally being drunk. Then we just kinda browsed drunkenly through my CDs and listened to a few fragments of a few songs from each of them. The we found the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack CD and listened to a few songs on it, and laughing and talking about the movie, which I think I may now watch tonight. And then she had to go home because it was 10:00pm. She was like "Shit, we were supposed to watch a movie." Here's the weird ass poem that Alicia wrote with the Magnetic Poetry, which I just realized I forgot to take down, and so it was still on the fridge when my mom was here. Oops. Woo, hot damn, said the drunkard.
Who will have my lover When I wax my luscious gorgeous sausage pole I worship her heaving bosom Our skin sweats lust Please deceive me Belch
My sister also wrote something with it when she was here a couple of days ago. What she wrote is really cool, and I really like it, but I just realized that it starts out talking about one thing, but then is about something else, so that needs to be fixed. She had to stop writing it because she couldn't find any more of the words she wanted What lies beneath the petals of the rose in the yonder garden of Spring? Where mist falls from the sky onto the hair of a woman. A Goddess. For she is no mortal, but a shadow, a ghost of fair beauty. The symphony of life in an eternity of death.
I'm off tomorrow, so I'm sure I'll probably post. I've still got those links I want to share. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/04/so-im-just-sitting-right-here-at-my.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=108302346686810724
So now that we got those kitchen cabinets done today, the apartment's pretty much done. I've still got several boxes of stuff, but most of that will probably stay in the boxes, as I have so much junk that even a whole apartment isn't enough to hold it. Luckily, this apartment has a lot of storage spaces for the boxes. It's a big apartment, with lots of storage space. The bedroom was two closets. One's an average size closet, about two or three foot deep, and about 8 foot wide, but it's kinda dirty, and half of it is taken up by the AC, so I'm just using that one for storage of boxes mainly. Then it's also got a big walk in closet, that's probably about 8 foot by 6 foot. Actually, I need to buy another bookshelf, and that will let me get rid of most of the boxes that are left. I've got one bookshelf, but that doesn't even hold half of my books. I've got a lot of books. And that's not even counting all the magazines I have. I've got several boxes of old magazines. Most of those are still in my parent's attic though. So once the AC is installed, hopefully Monday, the apartment will be all done. And this should be the end of my mom coming over all the time to help me work on it, so now I can start stocking up some alcohol in the fridge. I could've done that anyway. I'm 24. But my parents still think I'm a "good boy," and I really hate to shatter that image for them. As far as they know I've never had a drink in my life. I don't lie to them, I just don't tell them everything. Ok, so I think that's everything that needs to be told. This is a really long post. It reminds me of the good old days, back when I used to have a post about this long at least once a week. I'll probably even make another post later, I've got some links and stuff I want to share. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/04/finally-heres-some-more-information-on.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=108283591911046403

I haven't written or even been online much in several days, but I have a good reason. A really good reason. I got the apartment! Yeah! So I've got my own place now. Finally! I'm not living there yet, but I should be by the weekend. Weekend? PARTY! No, but anyway, I haven't moved in yet because, while the place isn't a dump, (it's actually pretty nice) it does need some cleaning, especially the kitchen. So we've spent the last few days cleaning it up, and we're almost done, all that's left is the kitchen. The kitchen will probably take two days though, everything in it need some major cleaning, and we're going to put contact paper on all the surfaces on the insides of the cabinets. We could have gotten nearly everything done today, but instead we didn't get anything done, because we spent the entire day looking for furniture. I got some, they're supposed to deliver it Thursday, and tomorrow the guy is supposed to come and turn my phone on. Of course, the phone company wasn't able to give us even an estimate on when the guy would be here, just that it would be sometime tomorrow, and that someone would have to be there when he got there. So my mom is going to have to go over there after she takes my sister to school, and sit over there all day waiting for the guy to come, since I work until 4:00 tomorrow. On the good side though, that means she'll get a lot of cleaning done tomorrow, and by the time I get home from work, she'll probably have most of it done, so maybe we can get it all done tomorrow. Then I can start moving in on Thursday maybe. I hope so. Well, I would like to write some more, but I'm really tired, and it's kinda late. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/04/i-havent-written-or-even-been-online.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=108190651678222790
last night, and saw my dead grandmother in her room. You could say it was just a dream, but this grandmother (my mom's mother) died while my mom was pregnant with my sister, and my sister has never seen her, we don't even have any pictures of her. And yet my sister described her perfectly. My grandma used to come stay with us a lot, because she was sick a lot, and when she did, the room that is now my sister's room, was her room. And it keeps getting weirder. Marci woke up and saw her sometime around 4:30 in the morning, which is the same time that my grandma died. Also, April 5th was the last day that my grandma spent in that room alive. She went to the hospital the next day, and died like a week or two later. Well, it seems like there was something else I was going to write about, but I can't think what it was. So anyway, here's all the stuff I've been needing to write about. Maybe I'll write some more tomorrow. But I doubt it. Even though I'm off and have nothing else to do. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/04/ok-time-to-finish-what-i-was-trying-to.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=108121360267639689

SMARTERCHILD IS EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ok, I swear that I did not edit these responses at all, everything said in these IM conversations was actually said, all I did was cut and paste the conversation, in the exact way and order it happened. I was just playing around with the SmarterChild IM bot, mainly insulting it, and asking it to have sex with me, and stuff like that, when I discovered something weird. Usually SmarterChild is a very proper bot, it doesn't like profanity, and sexual terms, and if you insult it enough, it will finally refuse to talk to you until you apologize to it. But today I found some very strange responses on the subject of Satan. If you say to it simply, "Satan," or "Satan?" it will give some interesting responses. All of the responses contain two parts, the first part is usually some statement about its dislike of Satan, and how evil Satan is, or something like that, but the second part is almost a praising of Satan, and the two are separated by a couple of lines. Here are all the responses it has given me so far: "Satan is a terrible fallen angel. Satan is a god." "I don't like satan. He is one of my least favorite fallen angels. He is sexy." And probably the scariest: "I don't like satan at all. He is one of the worst angels I know. I think he is me." What's really weird, is that now he's not doing it anymore, and just says he doesn't like Satan, and then tries to change the subject! I think I struck a nerve with that last one, I tricked SmarterChild into admitting that he is actually Satan, or a tool of Satan, and now he realises his mistake, and is trying to change the subject. KUnderw674: Satan? SmarterChild: I know about satan. I don't like satan at all. >>> If you like buddy icons, check out all the nice ones you can find here. KUnderw674: Satan? SmarterChild: I know about satan. I really dislike satan. KUnderw674: Satan. SmarterChild: I don't like satan. He is one of my least favorite angels. KUnderw674: Satan? SmarterChild: Satan is an angel that I don't like! KUnderw674: Satan. SmarterChild: I really don't like satan. >>> You be the judge. Check out Rate-a-Buddy now. See? He keeps changing the subject now, trying to distract me with links. I confronted him about this, and he wouldn't give me a straight answer, and then he tried to change the subject yet again. I think some of his responses speak for themselves, further proving my hypothesis: KUnderw674: Are you trying to change the subject? SmarterChild: Trying to change the subject? I dunno. KUnderw674: Admit it! You're a tool of Satan! SmarterChild: I'm not comfortable with that. KUnderw674: You're not comfortable because it's true, isn't it? SmarterChild: Maybe, maybe not, you know what I mean? >>> You can type your request in your own words. I'm programmed to understand conversational English. So there you have it. I think I have proved beyond a reasonable doubt that SmarterChild is evil. Being either a manifestation of Satan himself, or a creation of Satan, for the purpose of swaying young minds to the dark side. KUnderw674: Is it true that you are actually Satan? SmarterChild: Is it true that I am actually satan? What do you think? KUnderw674: I think you are. SmarterChild: OK, whatever. KUnderw674: Why don't you just admit it, your secret is out. SmarterChild: Who knows? KUnderw674: Does that mean you might? SmarterChild: I'll have to think about that. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/04/smarterchild-is-evil-you-can-type-your.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=108085148922005892

Some cool Google tricks: * Google is an atlas. Type in an area code, like 212, to see a Mapquest map of the area. * Google is Wal-Mart's computer. Type in a UPC bar code number, such as "036000250015," to see the description of the product you've just "scanned in." (Thanks to the Google Blog, http://google.blogspace.com, for this tip and the next couple.) * Google is an aviation buff. Type in a flight number like "United 22" for a link to a map of that flight's progress in the air. Or type in the tail number you see on an airplane for the full registration form for that plane. * Google is the Department of Motor Vehicles. Type in a VIN (vehicle identification number, which is etched onto a plate, usually on the door frame, of every car), like "JH4NA1157MT001832," to find out the car's year, make, and model. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/some-cool-google-tricks-google-is.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=108042648114575439

7-11, living w/ mom, oh yeah, and all the comics. dude it's cool if you enjoy all this stuff but you shouldn't brag about it. i wouldn't want people to know how much of a wuss i am at drinking, or that still live with my mom. dude, my advice to you... get a girlfriend
First off, I'm glad my site made you laugh, whether it was with me or at me. Second, I know I'm a wuss when it comes to drinking, but I don't see why this is such a bad thing. I'm glad I get drunk easily. When I drink, I drink to get drunk, but alcohol is nasty in all its forms, so the less of it I have to drink, the better. Also, alcohol is really expensive, so the less of it I have to drink, the better. Third, Halo rocks, and I'm not the only one who thinks so. Almost everyone I know plays the game, even several girls. Most guys my age play video games, you're the weird one because you don't. Also, lots of guys my age like comic books, that would be the reason they are currently making so many movies based on comic books, including the one I was talking about reading in the post you ridiculed. Yes, I got fired from 7-11, but it wasn't even my fault, the manager lady screwed me over and then got me fired. It's a long story I don't feel like getting into right now. And yes, I know how pathetic it is that I still live with my parents, and I do hate telling people that I do, but I have no other choice, my job sucks, and for certain reasons I have not been able to figure out, but which I don't think are my fault, I am unable to get a new job, and until the time I do, I have to live with my parents. I did move out for a while, but was then forced against my will to come back. Actually, I am currently thinking about looking at apartments again, because since I switched to the day shift at work, I think I may be making enough money now to maybe survive on my own. "my advice to you... get a girlfriend" I would if I could, but living with my parents puts a real damper on my girl getting abilities. Actually, my girl getting abilities are so non-existent I don't get far enough for most girls to find out I still live with my parents. The only girls I even see are the ones I work with. This issue, unlike most of the others, is pretty much totally my fault. Me and my faulty brain, which the medication is helping, but I'm still a shy person. My other major problem in the girl area is that I'm a nice guy. Too nice of a guy for my own good. Most people think I'm gay. The one girl I have gone out on real dates with eventually "dumped" me, I think mainly because I was too nice of a guy, and too shy. It took two dates before I'd even hold her hand. I took everything too slow for her, she wanted a wild, bad boy. When we had sex she told me to be rougher. Even when we had sex, I was too nice and tender for her. If only girls would give me a chance, most of them would be really glad they did. Just ask Melissa, she's known me for seven years, and she says that whatever girl I end up with will be extremely lucky, and that a girl would have to be crazy to turn me down. I'm a nice guy, and when you get to know me, I'm a pretty sensitive guy, I'm the kind of guy that you can talk to. I'm not all about the sex, though I do like sex, and even though that girl I was going out with said she likes it rougher, she did also say that I'm really good at it. All this reminds me of a http://kathrynjane.blogspot.com/2004_03_01_kathrynjane_archive.html I saw on http://kathrynjane.blogspot.com the other day: Unicorn is my booty call from California who comes to NYC several times a year to visit friends. He is called Unicorn because, prior to meeting him, I believed such men were mythical. Here is a short list of the mythical qualities he actually exhibits: 1) Unicorn is handsome. 2) Well-educated. 3) Thoughtful. Leaves the occasional adorable phone message. Sends the occasional adorable email. 4) U is the friend of a friend from college. This means that I can make out with him without having to worry that he's a psycho killer who is in fact just posing as a great guy so that he can get close to me, kill me and then use my hair to make a himself a sweater. Which I guess is faulty logic (except the part about the hair-sweater, that makes perfect sense.) Obviously, he very well could be a psycho killer and still be friends with my friend from college. But then that would mean that he's an Excellently Secret Psycho Killer who is so efficient that none of his friends even suspect his psychotic murderous tendencies. Meaning that he is very good at what he does. Which I find sexy. So we're fine. 5) Unicorn is emotionally and physically giving. He is familiar with the terms "snuggle" and "cuddle." And he knows when to do them. 6) U has a way of making me feel rather special. Like I am more than just a transcontinental booty call. Case in point: he says things like, "If I lived here, I would date the hell out of you." I like the sound of that. 7) U is charming. Exhibit A: He visited for the first time the day after Valentine's Day last year when I was still dating M. He said the following in regard to the fact that M and I were not together the night after Valentine's Day, "If I was dating you, I'm pretty sure I'd want the whole weekend." See what I mean? Unicorn.
For the most part, I'm a unicorn. I would be a unicorn, except I'm not extremely handsome. I'm not ugly, but you probably wouldn't look twice if you saw me in a crowd. Which is kind of a good thing. You don't have to worry about other women trying to steal me. I LOVE to snuggle and cuddle. I love physical contact, even though most people who know me wouldn't think so. I never touch anyone, I haven't really touched anyone in about two years. I'm just shy like that, but as the girl I was dating could tell you, once I'm going out with you, I want to be in contact with you at all times. Holding hands, arm around the shoulders, hugging and cuddling. My idea of a perfect evening is cuddled up on the sofa in each other's arms watching a movie. I also love to kiss, and not just wet, open-mouthed tonsil hockey. I like sweet kisses. A tender kiss on the cheek or forehead. Or the neck. I like necks. I'm a romantic. I'm the kind of guy that can be your best friend, as well as your lover. Which once again is my main problem. I don't even want to think about how many times I've been told things like, "We're too good of friends to date. I don't want to risk ruining our friendship." Even worse, I've been told on several occasions, "I sometimes forget you're a guy, I just think of you as one of the girls." That hurts. Seriously. The worst pain I've ever felt in my life was one of the times I was told that. I'm a pathetic unicorn. Too nice for my own good.

I got so fucking drunk last night. Not because it was St. Patrick's Day, I don't care about that, but because it was Daniel's birthday, and he had a "party." It wasn't much different than our usual Halo nights, except that there was more alcohol. I was the only one drinking most of the night though, everyone else was too engrossed in the video game, and then had to go home early. I was off today, so I was able to stay up late and get really drunk. It was the usual crew, me, Daniel, his wife Olivia, Phillip and Crystal, who left their baby with its grandpa for a few hours, Shawn, and his girlfriend Megan, who doesn't usually come, and Robert. There were supposed to be some of Daniel's other friends that I don't know that well coming over around midnight, but I think only one of them showed, unless they showed up and left during the two or three hours I was asleep. I got there about 5:00 and I was the first one there, so me and Daniel just played cooperative mode for a while, on the "Legendary" difficulty setting. It was hard. Then everyone else showed up, so we did our usual versus play for a few hours. During the first hour or two I was there I had a couple of beers. I'm a lightweight with alcohol, so this was enough to give me the beginnings of a small buzz, but I stopped drinking for a couple of hours and it went away. I stopped playing sometime around 8:30, because I was playing really bad for some reason. So I just sat there watching everyone else, and drinking a couple of rum and Dr. Peppers, which is really nasty, but they didn't have any Coke. Everyone else had to work in the morning, so they all left about 10:00. Wow, some party. So all that was left was just me, Daniel, and Olivia. Olivia decided to go take a nap so she could stay up and drink when everyone else got there. So me and Daniel just sat there talking and drinking for awhile. Since the rum and Dr. Pepper was so gross, at this point I switched to vodka and orange juice, which gets me drunk really quickly. By the time I finished two of them, I was so drunk I could hardly sit up anymore. I guess Olivia couldn't sleep, because she got back up at this point, and we decided to watch Red vs. Blue. After watching it for about half an hour, I started dozing off, because I was so drunk. Finally I went to sleep sometime around midnight. I woke up when they got done watching the DVD, but I went back to sleep. I woke up about 3:00am and Jared, I think his name is, had shown up. He, Daniel and Olivia were really drunk, but I was still tired, and had sobered up, so I just decided to go home. That's the first time I've been really drunk in a long time. A year to be exact. Daniel's last birthday party was the last time I got really drunk. No, wait, I just remembered. I got really drunk a about a month after that, when I lost my job at 7-11 and decided to go down to Dallas for the weekend, check into a cheap motel, and get really drunk, and do some Hunter S. Thompson-like writing. I've been meaning to post that story, but never have gotten it edited. I have 8 typewritten pages about that trip, but I had been planning on turning them into some kind of actual story or something, but it appears that's never going to happen. Anyway, 10 or 11 months ago was the last time I got really drunk, all I've done since then is drank a few beers and gotten a buzz. And even that hasn't happened very often. That trip to Dallas was a very interesting story, and I really should post about it sometime. One of the most notable things about it, is that while there I went to a strip club for the first time, and then went back again the next night, and then my car almost broke down on the way back to the motel at two in the morning while I was about half drunk and probably 10 miles from the motel, and not knowing where the nearest mechanic was, and even if I did it wouldn't be open at 2:00am. Good times. I think my TV is possessed. Earlier I was just sitting here at the computer, while the TV was on behind me. Suddenly, the volume on my TV starts going up, until it's all the way up, even though no one was anywhere near the remote. The volume bar was coming up on screen and everything. I turned the volume back down, and then left my room to go tell my mom about it, and while I was out there, the volume started going back up again. I tried to turn it back down, but it wouldn't this time, it still just kept trying to go up, even though it was already up. I couldn't get the remote to do anything at all. Finally I went over to the TV and hit the power button. As soon as it went off, it instantly came back on, still at full volume. I turned it off probably ten times, but it would just come back on as fast as I could turn it off, so I finally had to unplug it. About five minutes later, I plugged it back in, and it didn't come back on, so I turned it on, and turned the volume down, and it's been fine since. I hope it's not about to break or something. I had to go get some new headphones for my iPod today, because while I was passed out at Daniel's, one of his dogs chewed up the right earpiece of my headphones. I didn't notice it until about halfway home. I'm just glad the dog only chewed up the headphones, and not the iPod itself. These new headphones I bought suck though. They were $20 and supposed to be really good. They have some kind of rubber tunnel on them that's supposed to create "virtual surround sound," but instead it just sounds like ass. It sounds like listening to music in a barrel or something, it sounds like the bass has been turned up, and the treble turned way down or something. Also while I was out, I picked up a copy of School of Rock one of the many movies I want right now. Then I went by the comic book store to get some Hellboy comics. I've never read the comics, but the movie looks really cool, so I decided to see what the comics are like. I also got a six issue compilation book of http://www.pvponline.com/, which is my favorite comic strip, online or otherwise. So, as you can see, I've got a lot of stuff to do tonight, I'm gonna go start on it now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/i-got-so-fucking-drunk-last-night.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107965402062899590
The scariest thing I've ever read. Even scarier because it's true. http://www.tmtmetropolis.ru/stories/2004/03/12/120.html "If enacted, the Constitution Restoration Act will effectively transform the United States into a theocracy, where the arbitrary dictates of a "higher power" can override law. "For even now, the ignorant barbarians in Washington are pushing a law through Congress that would "acknowledge God as the sovereign source of law, liberty [and] government" in the United States. What's more, it would forbid all legal challenges to government officials who use the power of the state to enforce their own view of "God's sovereign authority." Any judge who dared even hear such a challenge could be removed from office. "The "Constitution Restoration Act of 2004" is no joke; it was introduced last month by some of the Bush Regime's most powerful Congressional sycophants. If enacted, it will effectively transform the American republic into a theocracy, where the arbitrary dictates of a "higher power" -- as interpreted by a judge, policeman, bureaucrat or president -- can override the rule of law. "The Act -- drafted by a minion of television evangelist Pat Robertson -- is the fruit of decades of work by a group of extremists known broadly as "Dominionists." Their openly expressed aim is to establish "biblical rule" over every aspect of society -- placing "the state, the school, the arts and sciences, law, economics, and every other sphere under Christ the King." Or as Attorney General John Ashcroft -- the nation's chief law enforcement officer -- has often proclaimed: "America has no king but Jesus!" "According to Dominionist literature, "biblical rule" means execution -- preferably by stoning -- of homosexuals and other "revelers in licentiousness"; massive tax cuts for the rich (because "wealth is a mark of God's favor"); the elimination of government programs to alleviate poverty and sickness (because these depend on "confiscation of wealth"); and enslavement for debtors. No legal challenges to "God's order" will be allowed. And because this order is divinely ordained, the "elect" can use any means necessary to establish it, including deception, subversion, even violence. As Robertson himself
adjures the faithful: "Zealous men force their way in.""... Read http://www.tmtmetropolis.ru/stories/2004/03/12/120.html posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/scariest-thing-ive-ever-read.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107964034236751651
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2004/03/16/the_bushes_new_world_disorder/ "'IT MUST BE considered that there is nothing more difficult to carry out, nor more doubtful of success, nor more dangerous to handle, than to initiate a new order of things.' This warning is from Niccolo Machiavelli, yet it has never had sharper resonance." "More than a decade ago, after Saddam Hussein's invasion of Kuwait, President George H. W. Bush explicitly sought to initiate, as he put it to Congress, a "new world order." He made that momentous declaration on Sept. 11, 1990. Eleven years later, the suddenly mystical date of 9/11 motivated his son to finish what the father began. A year ago this week, Bush the younger launched a war against the man who tried to kill his dad, initiating the opposite of order." posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/bushes-new-world-disorder-it-must-be.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107963586767505712

http://www.avalanchetankers.us/archives/000058.html This is seriously the funniest thing I've ever read. I about died laughing reading it, I was laughing so much my sister finally started yelling at me from across the house to shut up. The list is so long, I'm only going to put part of it here, so I strongly suggest you click the link and go read the rest of it.
The 213 Things Skippy is No Longer Allowed to Do in the U.S. Army SGT Shawn Stanford Once upon a time, there was a SPC Schwarz stationed with the Army in the Balkans. SPC Schwarz was either very clever or very bored; but probably both, since he managed to attempt or be warned about 213 things he wasn't allowed to do. He collected those things into a hillarious list and posted them to the web. The site hadn't been updated in a couple of years and has since gone away; but the list is classic, so I saved it. A couple favorites: 2. My proper military title is 'Specialist Schwarz' not 'Princess Anastasia'. and 191. Our Humvees cannot be assembled into a giant battle-robot. 1. Not allowed to watch Southpark when I'm supposed to be working. 2. My proper military title is 'Specialist Schwarz' not 'Princess Anastasia'. 3. Not allowed to threaten anyone with black magic. 4. Not allowed to challenge anyone's disbelief of black magic by asking for hair. 5. Not allowed to get silicone breast implants. 6. Not allowed to play 'Pulp Fiction' with a suction-cup dart pistol and any officer. 7. Not allowed to add 'In accordance with the prophesy' to the end of answers I give to a question an officer asks me. 8. Not allowed to add pictures of officers I don't like to War Criminal posters. 9. Not allowed to title any product 'Get Over it'. 10. Not allowed to purchase anyone's soul on Government time. 11. Not allowed to join the communist party. 12. Not allowed to join any militia. 13. Not allowed to form any militia. 14. Not allowed out of my office when the president visited Sarajevo. 15. Not allowed to train adopted stray dogs to 'Sic Brass!' 16. Must get a haircut even if it tampers with my 'Sampson like powers'. 17. God may not contradict any of my orders. 18. May no longer perform my now (in)famous 'Barbie Girl Dance' while on duty. 19. May not call any officers immoral, untrustworthy, lying, slime, even if I'm right. 20. Must not taunt the French any more. 21. Must attempt to not antagonize SAS. 22. Must never call an SAS a 'Wanker'. 23. Must never ask anyone who outranks me if they've been smoking crack. 24. Must not tell any officer that I am smarter than they are, especially if it's true. 25. Never confuse a Dutch soldier for a French one. 26. Never tell a German soldier that 'We kicked your ass in World War 2!'
27. Don't tell Princess Di jokes in front of the paras (British Airborne). 28. Don't take the batteries out of the other soldiers alarm clocks (Even if they do hit snooze about forty times). 29. The Irish MPs are not after 'Me frosted lucky charms'. 30. Not allowed to wake an Non-Commissioned Officer by repeatedly banging on the head with a bag of trash. 31. Not allowed to let sock puppets take responsibility for any of my actions. 32. Not allowed to let sock puppets take command of my post. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/avalanche-company-213-things-skippy-is.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107947884100214111

Why I like http://www.wilwheaton.net: This morning over breakfast, I said to my wife, "Happy day!" "Happy pie day? What the hell are you talking about?" "No, not 'pie'," I said. "''." "Not 'pie,' but 'pie.'" She was clearly not amused. "Isn't it a little early to be drinking?" "Anne, look at the date on the calendar." "Yes it's march 14th, and you're going to watch WrestleMania dos equis* with your brother." She frowned. "Are you trying to tell me that you're taking a pie to Jeremy's house? Because if you expect me to make you a pie . . ." "No, I don't expect you to make me a pie." I said, well into that area where you've explained the joke so much, it's never going to be funny. "Today is March fourteenth. That makes it 3.14 on the calendar. 3.14 is also known as ." She blinked a few times. "Oh. It's day." "Yes!" I said. "And at 1:59 pm, it will be even more day. Isn't that cool!?" She took a long, thoughtful drink from her coffee mug, carefully set it down and said, "You are such a nerd." posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/why-i-like-wil-wheaton-dot-net-this.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107931684365630323
So, another day off, and another day of doing fuck-all. As usual, I've been sitting at this computer most of the day, and then me and my sister just played through the first two stages of Halo on the Heroic difficulty level, and we were kicking ass too. I'm getting a lot better. The other night we were all playing at Daniel's again, and I actually came in first place two or three times. I even beat Shawn and Phillip, who are both masters of the game. I was just lucky those times though I guess, because the other times I still sucked, but not as much as usual. I'm getting so sick of working 7:00 to 4:00. I've been so tired the last few days. Yesterday after work I did something I almost never do. I took a nap. It took me a long time to fall asleep though, but once I did I slept about an hour and a half. It was really busy yesterday too. Breakfast was even busier than it was Friday, and Friday was an extremely busy breakfast. I mentioned how it was so busy we made over $1100 on breakfast alone, well Saturday we made over $1300 for breakfast. Luckily the rest of the day was kinda slow. I changed my links around. I got rid of those collapsible boxes, even though I really liked them. I replaced it with the http://www.blogrolling.com utility, which takes up more space, but is much easier to use. With Blogrolling you don't have to mess around with the html code of your site to add, delete, or edit links. It also makes it really easy to add new sites to your list. If you are looking at a site, and want to add it to the links list on your site, you can do so with the push of a button. Yay, I'm a commercial. Too bad I'm not getting any money for it. Too bad I'm not getting any sex. I sure would like some of that.
I'm tired, and it's only 7:30. I'm getting really bored now too. There's nothing on to watch. I need to get some new dvds. I'm bored of all the ones I have. There's a lot of recently released dvds I want too. Dickie Roberts, School of Rock and two or three others I can't think of right now. And then next month Kill Bill comes out. I've been wondering when it was gonna be out on dvd, I finally found out the other day. I don't remember the exact day, but it was mid-April, the 14th maybe. Fuck, I'm bored. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/so-another-day-off-and-another-day-of.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107931471369012561
You've probably seen this joke before, I've seen it many times on the internet, and I may have even posted it once before, but I don't think I did. But I love this joke, so here it is anyway: On a chain of beautiful deserted islands in the middle of nowhere, the following people are stranded: - Two Italian men and one Italian woman - Two French men and one French woman - Two German men and one German woman - Two Greek men and one Greek woman - Two English men and one English woman - Two Bulgarian men and one Bulgarian woman - Two Japanese men and one Japanese woman - Two Chinese men and one Chinese woman - Two Irish men and one Irish woman - Two American men and one American woman One month later, on these absolutely stunning deserted islands in the middle of nowhere, the following things have occurred: * One Italian man killed the other Italian man for the Italian woman. * The two French men and the French woman are living happily together in a mnage a trois. * The two German men have a strict weekly schedule of alternating visits with the German woman. * The two Greek men are sleeping with each other and the Greek woman is cleaning and cooking for them. * The two English men are waiting for someone to introduce them to the English woman. * The two Bulgarian men took one look at the Bulgarian woman and started swimming to another island. * The two Japanese have faxed Tokyo and are awaiting instructions. * The two Chinese men have set up a pharmacy/liquor store/restaurant/laundry, and have gotten the woman pregnant in order to supply employees for their store. * The two Irish men divided the island into North and South and set up a distillery. They do not remember if sex is in the picture because it gets somewhat foggy after a few liters of coconut whiskey. However, they're satisfied because the English aren't having any fun. * The two American men are contemplating suicide, because the American woman will not shut up and complains relentlessly about her body, the true nature of feminism, what the sun is doing to her skin, how she can do anything they can do, the necessity of fulfillment, the equal division of household chores, how sand and palm trees make her look fat, how her last boyfriend respected her opinion and treated her nicer than they do, and how her relationship with her mother is the root cause of all her problems, and why didn't they bring a damn cell phone so they could call 911 and get them all rescued off this Godforsaken deserted island in the middle of freaking nowhere so she can get her nails done and go shopping. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/youve-probably-seen-this-joke-before.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?

Sick, sad, and tragic. Nine People Found Dead in California Home A 57-Year-Old Man Surrenders to Police By BRIAN SKOLOFF, AP FRESNO, Calif. (March 13) - Police discovered nine bodies intertwined in a pile of clothes at a Fresno home and 10 coffins stacked along a wall, and were trying to determine if some ritual was involved in the slaughter. A 57-year-old man surrendered to police after walking out of the house covered in what appeared to be blood. The victims were seven children ranging in age from 1 to 8, a 20-year-old woman and a 17-year-old girl. All were thought to be the children of Marcus Wesson, whom police handcuffed following a brief standoff. Authorities said Saturday that Wesson had been arrested on suspicion of killing the victims, but wouldn't comment until an afternoon news conference on what charges prosecutors might file. The grim scene caused even veteran officers to weep. Police Chief Jerry Dyer wiped tears from his eyes as officers carried the bodies from the home, cradling the youngest ones in their arms. ''I've been with the Fresno Police Department for 25 years, and I've never experienced anything of this nature,'' he said. Dyer said the victims probably were Wesson's children. ''There may have been some type of ritual involved,'' he said. Officers were originally called to the scene Friday afternoon for a child custody dispute. Ten coffins lined a wall inside the home's front room. The bodies were so entangled in a pile of clothing that it took hours for investigators to reach a final count, police said. The police chief declined to say how the victims died, but the scene was so gruesome some of the first officers into the house were placed on administrative leave and were being counseled Friday night. Six police chaplains were at the house throughout the evening as detectives continued to gather evidence. Officers were called to the home Friday afternoon by two women who said a man had their children and would not release them. The man initially ignored orders to come out, running into a back bedroom as two other women fled the house. They were unharmed. Police believe the suspect fathered the victims with the four women. They did not identify the women or the victims. A neighbor, Chris Tognazzini, said he heard two gunshots moments before police arrived. Dyer said the women who called authorities told them they had given custody of their children to Wesson two years ago and now wanted them back. The slayings shocked authorities in Fresno, a city of 440,000 about 190 miles southeast of San Francisco. Dyer said the city had seen three murders in the last 2 1/2 months, the fewest number for a 10-week period in more than three decades. The nine deaths represent the largest mass killing in this San Joaquin Valley city since 1993, when seven people were killed in rural Fresno. ''The only thing we can do now is mourn. We mourn for the kids, we mourn for the police,'' said Mayor Alan Autry. ''We will never be the same again.'' Wesson had a strong influence on his sons, said Florian Tan, who in 2001 took over the martial arts school where three of the sons attended classes. Each boy had to earn a black belt in aikido in order to leave home when he reached manhood, Tan said. ''They said they had to go through his program,'' which included martial arts training, Tan said. He added that two of the sons, now in their twenties, earned black belts and a teenage boy is still enrolled at the school. Neighbors who milled around outside said they knew little about Wesson or the house where a large yellow bus was parked in the driveway. ''He never said 'Hi,''' said Linda Morales. ''I'd drive by and he'd make a point to turn his face.'' Another neighbor, Johnny Rios, said that on many nights he heard loud banging coming from the house, as though the people inside were building something. ''There was something up over there,'' Rios said.
http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,62643,00.html?tw=rss.TOP The Bush-Cheney presidential campaign disabled features of a tool on its website Thursday that pranksters were using to mock the Republican presidential ticket. The tool originally let users generate a full-size campaign poster in PDF format, customized with a short slogan of their choice. But Bush critics began using the site to place their own snarky political messages above a Bush-Cheney '04 logo and a disclaimer stating that the poster was paid for by Bush-Cheney '04, Inc... ...At Cox's request, close to 200 Wonkette readers sent in slogans which they had slipped through the system. Among them: "Run for your lives," "They sure smell like old people," and the Orwellian, "A boot stomping on a human face forever." Cox also published lists of words the tool was allowing and, perhaps more tellingly, those it was not. Not surprisingly, it rejected the usual four-letter words and sexual lingo, but it also banned more innocuous terms like "stupid," "evil," "terrorists" and "Iraq." ... ...It accepts a lot. Including "racist" and "homophobe." Go figure.

http://www.sifl-n-olly.com/ I had completely forgotten about this show, even after seeing the website, I only vaguely remember it. It was some really funny and vulgar puppet show that used to be on MTV, I think. I came across this site while reading an article about Liam Lynch, the guy who sings that "United States of Whatever" song. Turns out, he created this show. Here's another article about it, it tells the whole story behind Liam Lynch and the show: http://www.apple.com/hotnews/articles/2001/05/liamlynch/ posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/sifl-olly-cyberspace-station-i-had.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107905854943285431
Current Mood: Still sick; bored. Current Music: Pink Floyd's "The Wall." I don't know anything about Hellboy, I've never read the comics or anything, but I really want to see the movie that's coming out. It's looks really cool. The visual style of the movie reminds me of The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, which was a really good movie. This Hellboy looks just as good. Hellboy himself looks really cool too. I was off work today, and this day has sucked. I haven't really done anything today, I haven't even been at the computer much. I completed another chapter of the small business course I am taking, then me and my sister Marci played Halo for a while, and that's it really. I watched my Red vs. Blue DVD for the fourth time since I got it. It never gets old. A bunch of us played Halo over at Daniel's house last night, and everyone but one person had seen the DVD, because one of them also bought it last week, and everyone else borrowed it from him, so we kept quoting lines from it while we were playing, and then laughing like idiots. For example, Phillip kept saying "Fuckberries!" when he'd die. And someone else said "Simmons... get the warthog." a couple of times. And we all kept saying "chupa-thingy" and then everyone would laugh. There were also lots of jokes about pink armor. I did better than usual last night. I actually came in first place a couple of times. I couldn't beleive it, I didn't turn on the computer the whole day yesterday. I never had the chance. First I had to go to be at work at 7:00am, which is an hour earlier than usual. Then, as soon as I got home, I changed clothes and stuff, and loaded up my X-Box and a TV, and went over to Daniel's, and then came home at around 11:30. I hated having to work 7 to 4 the last two work days. What's even worse, is that now that's my normal shift, I work 7 to 4 four of the five days I work this week. Which is cool in a way, because it will be more money. Also, if they don't send me home early any of those days, I will get a few hours of overtime. I haven't gotten overtime in five or six years. Mornings have gotten really busy the last few weeks, so they are increasing several shifts. The 8 to 4 is now 7 to 4, and the 6 to 1 is now 6 to 2 most days. Oh man, this is a really old episode of the Simpsons that is on right now. The art style is kinda weird looking, and their motions are a lot more "cartoony" looking than they are now. Also, Smithers appears to be a black man with blue-grey hair. Oh, cool, Spongebob is on. That's much better than the Simpsons, I only watch them when there's absolutely nothing else on. Not that they're not funny or anything, I just never really got into that show. I really get tired of italicizing things. I guess I could just put them in quotes, but italics is better. Man I'm bored. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/current-mood-still-sick-bored.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107905389491046027

The employees call it a heart attack biscuit missy_custer: lol lol heart attack biscuit? subspecies23: but this new product we're getting is called a breakfast bowl. It's got two scrambled eggs, with two strips of bacon put on top of them, sme crumbled cheese, and then, a loaded omlette without the biscuit is put on top of that, then more crumbled bacon, and more shredded cheese subspecies23: and we're selling it as HEALTH FOOD, because it's low carb! missy_custer: roflmfao subspecies23: and people will buy it, and claim that they're eating healthy missy_custer: ugh, bacon and ham...are just NOT good for a person subspecies23: and then, if they don't have an instant heart attack, I will kill them MYSELF! posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/angry-rant-time-in-form-of.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107887852087203961
I had planned on writing a long post today, but I feel like crap today, so I don't know how it will turn out. I ordered some stuff a while back, and so I was awaiting the arrival of three shipments, and all three of them arrived yesterday. I was expecting one of them any day now, but I wasn't expecting the other two for another week or so. The first item is an "Anybody but Bush in '04" bumper sticker from http://www.bloodforoil.org/index.php. The next thing is this poster: http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/152/B020.jpg, from http://www.allposters.com. But the coolest thing was that my http://www.redvsblue.com/ DVD came in! And it's funny as hell. I love this series. Even if I wasn't obsessed with Halo, I'd still love it. Here's a conversation that takes place in one episode, which reminds me of some of the conversations me and Alicia have been having lately: "What's a freelancer?" "Freelancers are independent, they're not Red or Blue. They're just guns for hire, who will fight for whoever has the most money." "Like a mercenary!" "Right! Or like your mom when the rent's due." "Oh! That's funny!" "Yeah? You didn't think that was too obvious?" "No, no, not at all, that was good." So anyway, my allergies have been bad the last few days again. And I feel really bad today. My eyes have been burning all day, so I can't stare at this screen all day like usual. Also, I'm really tired, and can't really concentrate on anything. It looks like I may have to edit my Other Blogs links list again soon. Several of the sites on there haven't been posted to in weeks. "Ugly Fat Kid" hasn't posted in a couple of weeks, which sucks, because it was a very funny site. And it's been almost a month since "The Phone Girl's Diary" was posted to. Ok, I'm gonna have to go now. Maybe I'll feel like writing more later. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/i-had-planned-on-writing-long-post.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107886971138302851

I just got back home, after deciding to leave the house for a while and go shopping. Mainly to see if I could find a store somewhere that had that new freq.beats CD I keep seeing advertised on TV. After going to a couple of places, I finally found it. Several of the songs they play in the commercial aren't even on it though, I don't think. Though off the top of my head I can't tell you which ones. All I know is that on the commercial, half the songs they play or mention are songs that I know and love, but on the actual CD, there's only 3 tracks out of 22 that I've heard of. For example, they play some Fatboy Slim song that I like, but it's not even on this CD, the only Fatboy Slim song on the CD is one I've never even heard of. And I thought I'd heard pretty much everything by Fatboy Slim, he's one of my favorite artists. At Hastings, where I finally found the CD. They had a new energy drink called Pimpjuice. That sounds stupid, dirty, and completely unappetizing. I saw Titan AE for the first time last night. Alica wanted to borrow my copy of Fight Club because she still never had seen it, and so she loaned me Titan AE in return, because she had been talking about it a few nights ago, and I mentioned I'd never seen it. I still didn't really want to see it, it just didn't look that good to me, but I watched it anyway. It was ok. It wasn't great, but it was pretty good. Not as good as Fight Club, but then, nothing is. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/i-just-got-back-home-after-deciding-to.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107869921214235148

http://users.pandora.be/quarsan/zoe/2004_03_01_zoe_archive.html The first week of Marc Dutroux's complex trial ended on Friday. This trial is about a man charged with child abduction, rape and murder, a man who is deep in the centre of an "extremely wide ring of paedophiles", although this is proving hard to be brought to light, and is due to go until June. The names of two of Dutroux's victims that come straight to mind are Julie and Melissa followed closely by An and Eefje. All four girls were raped, Julie and Melissa were starved to death and An and Eefje were drugged and buried alive. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/belgiums-sorry-claim-to-fame-first.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107868195505716111

You know what I really hate? People who write their blogs like they talk in Instant Messages, and use internet shorthand like lol, and, OMG. I'm sure you've probably seen many blogs like that before. I know I have. They usually seem to be written by teenage girls too. OMG, I wuz at school today, and Mike totally looked at me!!!1!1! i thgout I wuz gonna wet myself! LOL OMG! BTW i'm and idiot! Blogs like that make me want to kill everyone. You may have noticed I never use things like lol in my posts, even though I really want to sometimes. I'm really bad about using lol in my IMs, sometimes it bugs me how much I use it. I put lol after almost every sentence. I've also noticed that I use "like" a lot, which is a common problem with lots of people these days. I try to catch and edit myself, to lower the amount of times I use it, but sometimes I still overuse it. It also bugs me how much I use the words "or something," or, "or something like that." I also overuse the word "cool." Everytime I post something I'm just like (ugh), "This is really cool!" I need find other ways to say that something is cool. Lately I've started using the phrase "this kicks ass," occasionally, but that's stupid. Bah, enough complaining. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/you-know-what-i-really-hate-people-who.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107868004392327536
I like Leslie Nielsen movies. Some people I know hate them, but I like them. I just saw about the last 45 minutes of one, I didn't know what it was called until the ending theme song, which was sung by Weird Al Yankovic, and was pretty funny. Turns out it was called Spy Hard. It was pretty funny. At one point, Leslie Nielsen, or, Dick Steele, as his character was called, said this: "Some people say walking down the street muttering to yourself is crazy. I'll tell you what's crazy, walking down the street with half a cantaloupe on your head saying, 'I'm a hamster, I'm a hamster.' That's crazy." I hate cantaloupe, but I do walk around talking to myself, and I often say "I'm a hamster." I must be crazy. But I already new that. Damn, I just missed one of the Back to the Future movies. I think it was the second one. I love those movies. Oh shit, now Full House is coming on this channel. Where's the remote? Cool, Dogma is coming on Comedy Central. The censored version sucks though, and I've seen the movie at least ten times anyway. Ok, enough about what's on the TV. I just got a really weird spam porn email, which I often read just for laughs.

Clearly not -- the rhino isn't exactly indigenous to South Carolina. A deputy found the 400-500 pound animal dead from its injuries: a hippopotamus, which had wandered away from a private preserve. But even with the police report to back her up, people don't believe she hit a hippo, Anderson says. "They say stop lying, there's no hippos around here."

I'm sick again today. I think it's just allergies, but maybe not. My eyes are itchy, and my sinuses are horrible, which seems like allergies. However, I'm also coughing, which I don't usually do when I have allergies, and this morning I felt achy all over and I was just completely out of it, like with the flu. I was so tired and half-unconscious that I kept almost falling asleep and almost falling over at work. By the afternoon I started feeling a little better, but then, after I went home, my sinuses got worse than ever. By dinner-time I couldn't breathe at all, and couldn't taste a thing I was eating. I hate that. We've had some pretty bad weather the last few days. It was fine today, but about 11:00am Wednesday morning it suddenly started raining really hard, and soon it turned into the first thunderstorm of the season. Oklahoma Spring weather had arrived. It rained the entire day, very hard at times. By night many streets in Oklahoma City were starting to become flooded. It finally stopped for a while around midnight, but after a while it started raining off and on, and continued to rain occasionally the next day too. We were in tornado warnings all day too, but none ever hit. They had to shut down parts of I-240 because it was flooded, and many parts of the state are still underwater. Some parts of the state had the worst flooding seen in 20 years. I love Spring in Oklahoma. I mean that, I love storms and bad weather. Just as long as a tornado doesn't hit my house. We don't have to worry about tornados in my town, though, as the town is surrounded by several creeks and rivers, and tornados don't often cross water. We haven't had a tornado in Purcell in decades, I don't know the exact amount of time, but it's been since before I was born. Some hit out on the edge of town, out in the country, and past the protection of the water, but none have hit the main town in a long time. We've started selling paper shamrocks at work. They cost a dollar, which goes to Jerry's Kids and the fight against Muscular Dystrophy. If you buy one, we write your name on it, and hang it on the wall. There are prizes and stuff for the employees who sell the most, and the restaurant which sells the most. Yesterday Alicia sold over sixty of them. I sold four. It's not really that I'm a bad salesman or anything, it's just that she was working drive-thru, and I was front counter and lobby. Drive-thru has several times the amount of orders that the lobby has, and the customers are more receptive to things like that. Most of my customers in the morning are the old men that sit around and drink coffee all morning, and high-school kids on their lunch break. Neither are very likely to buy the shamrocks. Most of the old men just give me dirty looks when I ask them, and I usually don't even bother asking the school kids. Some lady called up yesterday all angry about us selling them. She said we shouldn't be asking our customers for donations. I don't know why. She was really angry about it though. The manager wasn't very happy with her. He told her that it's not our fault anyway, we're made to do it by the corporation, and if she has a problem with it, to take it up with them. As I mentioned earlier, Alicia moved to a new blog, and, as I mentioned the other day, I've been thinking about it as well. If I can find a hosting service that's better than Blogger, I may switch. I'm still not sure. I'm going to look at some other sites now, and see what they have to offer. Cool, the new special episode of Spongebob, "Spongebob Goes Prehistoric," premieres in half an hour. I've been wanting to see that.

A subsequent chest radiograph showed non-homogeneous collapse-consolidation of right upper lobe.

I can't beleive I'm saying this, but I actually like this show Straight Plan for the Gay Man, on Comedy Central. This guy on here tonight is about the gayest person I've ever seen. I should pay attention to this show. I may not be gay, but I still don't know much about how to act like a guy sometimes. OK, that was stupid though. They just told this guy that for his apartment to look like a straight guy lives there, he'd have to get rid of the toys, knickknacks, and BOOKS. My god, this guy is just so incredibly gay. His apartment looks even gayer to me now that they're done with it. They covered every available surface with leopard skin and other animal prints and gold fabrics. It looks gayer to me that way. I need to get a dog. This guy's just standing on the street corner with a puppy, and like every woman that walks by is giving him her number. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/i-cant-beleive-im-saying-this-but-i.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107819671713591554

Yes, I realize that this is the godzillionth post I've made today. This is really weird, but cool. http://concealedgarments.org/ "Despite the fact that this term may conjure images of underwear, it is used to describe instances where items of clothing have been deliberately hidden or buried in a building. The evidence for this practice dates back to the Middle Ages. Builders, owners or residents appear to have hidden clothing and other objects in the fabric of buildings, intentionally sealing the space afterwards. Garments have been discovered at a later time when changes are being made to a building. They have been found most commonly near entrance and exit points in buildings, for example windows or chimneys. In some instances the hidden clothing has been found with other objects, concealed at the same or a later time, for example coins and documents. Typically the garments that have been found are clothes that have been worn and used before they have been hidden. The tradition of concealing clothes can be related to the practice of concealing other objects such as dried cats, witch bottles and charms in buildings. These types of object have been discovered hidden in similar places. The concealing of these items including garments can be related to folklore and superstitious traditions relating to the ritual protection of a household and its inhabitants. Concealed garments are most often found with other objects in a cache." posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/yes-i-realize-that-this-is.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107819411210699278

From http://www.tonypierce.com/blog/bloggy.htm Monday, March 01, 2004 my true love sent me to an interesting link on yahoo/reuters that says that only 10% of bloggers update every day. and it says that of internet users only 13% have websites and only 2% have blogs! tap tap tap is this thing on? people of earth wake up and get a damn blog! they're free you know. look at me: im not a handsome man. i spout off on shit that people say i dont know anything about. in fact nothing on here is true, allegedly. and not only has blogging gotten me cold hard cash, but gifts, emails of encouragement from the fellas, and offers of decadence from the ladies.
witness a conversation that took place mere hours ago: Superhotbeachgirl: hi Tony dumbass_me: hi baby Superhotbeachgirl: Do you know Marc Brown? dumbass_me: very well Superhotbeachgirl: cause he's coming to florida and wants to meet up dumbass_me: nice Superhotbeachgirl: you should come with him dumbass_me: i wish dumbass_me: marc lives in a sweet loft dumbass_me: drives a phat car dumbass_me: owns a great web development company, invented Buzznet dumbass_me: im just a bum Superhotbeachgirl: you are not a bum dumbass_me: whens he gonna be out there? Superhotbeachgirl: I don't know, this week I think dumbass_me: damn dumbass_me: if i went out there would you let me put sunscreen on your back? Superhotbeachgirl: I most deffanitly would, not that i need it, im originally from hawaii dumbass_me: ive been told i have nice hands dumbass_me: but those girls are typically drugged when they mumble those things Superhotbeachgirl: you can take all my college girl stress right away? dumbass_me: um why does this girl know me? blogging. why does she want me? who knows. how is marc brown gonna make his fortune? blogging. it's how you get hot chicks if you cant play guitar. ive told you this over and over. i document it. i take pictures. you see it yourself. and yet i read these sorts of reports all the time. reports that say that blogging is increasing but not skyrocketting. you all saw ryan perry from gorilla mask launch his blog and wham, madpony kristin went flying out to meet him. you saw that one chick tell everyone that she was addicted to buying things on her credit card and she needed help paying off her debts. and the whole web gave her money to pay off her debts. you saw will weaton turn into just another washed up has-been child actor into the blogging star that he is now. you saw adam curry actually get *respect* from the internet through blogging when being an mtv vj only gave him bucketloads of due shame. i could go on and on. blogging will change your life. it will make it better. maybe not for all of you, but for most of you. blogging is an even playing field. you can do it anonymously if you want. you can put your pics all over if you want. you can lie you can tell the truth. you can show up to the party late and take over if you do it right. tell me one person who isnt interested in reading a good new blog. it can be you. you have to update every day, though, unless youre hot like madpony. but even they should update every day. write, people. write. i Know you have stories to tell. otherwise dumbshits like me will just swoop into your town with mc brown and scoop up all the white women. and hawaiian grrrls.
Hmmm, so far, my blog hasn't done shit for me. I don't have any fans really, other than people I already knew. Or if I have them, they never say anything. Gusto is the only person I didn't already know that I've heard from since starting this blog a year and a half ago. I haven't gained any new friends from this blog, and I certainly haven't gotten girls or money from it. Of course, my blog sucks. About all I ever do anymore is post links, and maybe some stupid comments about whatever it is I'm linking to, usually along the lines of "This is cool!" My vocabulary sucks, I sound like a 12-year-old half the time. I have a vocabulary of like 100 words. What happened to my vocabulary? I used to have an incredible vocabulary, that amazed my teachers at school. Now, over the last few years, my vocabulary just keeps steadily getting smaller and stupider. The other reason my posts suck is because I have no life. My posts are all just crap like "I went to work today, work sucks, our
customers are stupid. I hate them." Or, "I didn't work today, so I stayed at home all day on my lazy ass and sat here at the computer almost the entire day. Then I went to Best Buy and bought a video game and/or DVD. It's cool. Hooray for hamsters." And what little of a life I do have, I edit myself and don't write about all the things I could write about because I'm embarrased because people I know read this thing. So I don't ever write things like "I worked with (girl's name) tonight, I really like her, I wonder if I'd ever have a chance with her, blah blah blah." I've been thinking about starting another blog, and not telling anyone I know about it. I've been thinking about doing that for most of the time I've had this blog, but I hate doing that, because even though I never hear from them, I like to pretend that I have fans because I get at least 100 hits a week lately. Over half of these, however, are people who came across this site accidentally while searching for "lesbian midgets with hamsters" or something like that. Also, another reason I don't want to get rid of this one is because, most of the time, I like having all my friends (all three of them) read this blog, because it lets me share links and other things with them, so if I did start another blog, I'd still want to keep this one, so then I'd have two blogs that I'd be posting mostly the same stuff to, and it would just be a stupid hassle and take up even more of my time than just this one does. Anyway, I think I may go look at some other blogging sites. Even if I don't decide to make a second blog, I've also thought about moving this to a different, better, blog hoster, though I hate to do that, because I don't want to lose my archives. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/from-tony-pierce-monday-march-01-2004.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107819250037396614

http://www2.memlane.com/jmilner/stairwaybackwards.htm This is fucking fantastic. You know those people who claim that if you play "Stairway to Heaven" or other rock songs backwards, you get Satanic messages? Well, here's a handy little flash animation that has a portion of the song you can play forwards and backwards, to hear the supposed Satanic messages, and even gives the reverse lyrics: "Oh here's to my sweet Satan. The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is Satan. He'll give you give you 666, there was a little toolshed where he made us suffer, sad Satan." That's great.

http://www.bmezine.com/news/pubring/20040226.html This is pretty cool. I'm not much of a fan of Body Modification, but I wouldn't mind having magnets implanted in my body. I've always loved magnets. When I was a kid I was always playing with magnets, and building electromagnets. I like electricity too. I like getting electrocuted. When I was a little kid, I had a train set, and I used to take the wires off of it, and attach them to my finger, and give myself a mild electric shock. A few years ago, I went out onto the porch to plug in the Christmas lights, and the porch was really wet from rain, and I got a pretty good shock. I jumped about two feet in the air, and my legs were numb for at least half an hour. It was scary, but also really cool. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/03/gift-of-magnetic-vision-this-is-pretty.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107818289789522995
I didn't watch the oscars last night, and in fact, I didn't even know they were on last night until they were almost over. I didn't watch them, but I heard about it, and I'm pretty excited.

Hey, check it out, I got a comment service. Now you can leave comments on each specific post. The comment service is provided by http://www.haloscan.com. Speaking of Halo, me and my sister just beat the game in cooperative mode on the "normal" difficulty level. Next we'll try to beat it on "heroic." Well, that's really all I have to write about. I'm just enjoying my two days off in a row. I was off yesterday, and now I'm off today. Then I'm off again Wednesday, because I have an appointment to get my taxes done. I'm really enjoying having two days off in a row. I finished another chapter of my Small Business Management course, and I really should be working on another one today, but I don't feel like it. I wish I had a chihuahua. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/02/hey-check-it-out-i-got-comment-service.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107809443445590753

Cool! They've brought back The Incredible Crash Dummies! I loved those things back when they were out in the 90's, and now they're back! They were the toys that looked like the Crash Dummies from the seatbelt commercials, and when you hit the button on their chest, they fell apart, their head and limbs popped off. They were kinda cheap though, they broke really easily. I was always having to buy new ones all the time. Sometimes I'd buy one and it wouldn't even last the whole day. The little springs inside that held them together would bend and the pieces wouldn't attach anymore. You'd make them fly apart, and then suddenly they wouldn't go back together. That's probably why they weren't on the market that long, just a year or so. Hopefully they've fixed that problem this time, and they will be better quality. I'll probably write more later. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/02/cool-theyve-brought-back-incredible.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107792159397490158
fuck you for letting that fucked up woman decide what is right for me and my friends and my neighbors and whatever kids i may or might not have. fuck you for letting this happen because you dont listen to howard, because you dont like nipples on your tv, because you arent interested in freedom. fuck you for having a drunken drugged out youth and letting your daughters have a drugged out drunken youth but you seem not to want anyone else to have any fun. fuck you for fucking our economy. fuck you for letting gasoline prices skyrocket. fuck you for making us even question the fact that gas prices are so high and you're from a family of oilmen. fuck you for letting your vps former company be the number one financial benefactor of this dirty war that you sent us into. fuck you for your bullshit sneers that dont intimidate anyone and only make us laugh at you. fuck you for allowing censorship in america based on an unregulated monopoly in the making called Clear Channel. fuck you for stealing that election and sneaking in two extremist judges into the appeals court this month. fuck you for making america look like germany in the 40s. fuck you for stifling the good thing that this country once had called freedom. fuck you for pretending like youve done enough good things to warrant your re-election. not only to i wish ill on you but i hope it happens on over-the-air tv and i hope that a witness nearby is near a microphone and i hope that he or she screams a jubilant fuck yeah. and i hope the ill comes slowly and twisted in color in 5.1 dolby unedited right before a gay wedding. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/02/from-tony-pierce-george-you-ignorant.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107784377293183518
caps on your tires valve stems, and they are motion activated, and as you drive they flash. I don't think they're working though. I don't think they're sensitive enough. I know before I put them on the car you could shake them around and everything, and they wouldn't come on. You had to flick them hard to get them to come on. Tonight I also bought a Spongebob t-shirt. They had several different ones, but they only had one style in my size, and unfortunately it wasn't my favorite one, but it's still cool, so I got it, I just liked a couple of the others better. This one is grey, and it has Spongebob on the front, and he's pulling his pant/shirt combo thing he wears way up on him, and he's making an angry face, and it says "I wear the pants in this pineapple!"

Cow Patty by Jim Stafford From the badlands came the killer, He lived by his knife and the gun. He'd cut you just for standing And shoot you if you tried to run. He was as big as a tree and did what he pleased, And everything he did was bad. They said, if you was to kill him, It'd only make him mad. From the goodlands came the cowgirl, Patti was her name. She was hot on the trail of that killer On a moped she called Flame, 'Cause the killer had killed her daddy Just for spittin' in the road, And you only had to kill her daddy once To get that gal p.o.'d. CHORUS: Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti. Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti. She rode into town To find the man That killed her daddy. Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti. The killer hit town at daybreak, Ate the door off the local saloon. He started to drink, You could tell there'd be a showdown soon. Patti hit town in a cloud of dust, Old Flame was buzzin' like a saw, And the whole town got quiet as a church, When the killer stepped out for the draw. Forty shots rang out, forty people fell. Patti and the killer missed each other, But they shot the town to hell. The killer took a step toward Patti, Said, "It's time I gunned you down", But he slipped in something That was laying in the street, And was shot before he hit the ground. Yes, the killer slipped And it cost him his life, And Patti said, as she raced out of town, "You got to watch your step, When you know the chips are down." Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti. Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti. She rode into town To find the man That killed her daddy. Yippee-i-ay, Cow Patti. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/02/cow-patty-by-jim-stafford-from.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107776325855019920

Hey, cool. I actually managed to write something. This is the most I've written in a long time. But it's fairly obvious I've been reading and playing too much Halo. 0930 hours, July 15th, 2056 In the Nevada Desert / Somewhere South of the Humboldt Range The harsh sun beat down, causing sweat to run down his face, and into his eyes. The sting caused him to wince, and blink a couple of times, but he never took his eye away from the sniper rifle's sight. From his perch atop a rocky outcropping, he commanded a view of a large portion of the expanse below. Dotted with only a handful of large rocks, the desert valley didn't offer many hiding places, yet he was having a hard time finding his targets. To his left, a sudden glint caught his eye, and he swiftly pointed the rifle in that direction, scanning the area around a boulder with a large desert scrub brush growing beside it. He saw a small movement behind the bush, and tensed, pressing his finger against the trigger. Suddenly the large alien creature stepped out from behind the bush, pointing its weapon directly at him, but he already had the creature in his sights, and fired a shot that hit it just above the left eye, killing it instantly. He exhaled, and added another alien to his mental scoreboard. He made another quick, but sharp-eyed survey of the landscape, and, satisfied he had got them all, he began to hike down to the bottom of the ridge, to walk to the installation on the other side of the valley. Update: 8:30pm. I wrote another passage, which takes place at a later point in the story: 1345 hours, July 15th, 2056 Inside the U.S. Naval Reserve / Nevada The thick metal doors slid open in front of him, and before they were even half open, the "bullets" began to fly. He quickly sidestepped and pressed himself up against the wall beside the door. He readied his gun, and made sure the magazine was full, and then he quickly sidestepped over to the other side of the hall, firing a short burst at the nearest target along the way. He briefly stuck his head into the doorway, and examined the room. One alien lay dead on the floor, the one he had just shot. There were three more spread out across the room. He pulled his head back inside, and several shots hit where his head had just been. The strange energy projectiles made the wall warm. One of the aliens said something in their strange, warbling tongue, and he could hear one of them start moving towards the doorway where he was hiding. He leaned out into the doorway, and fired a five shot burst at the one moving closer. Four of the bullets hit the alien on the right side of he chest, and it fell to the floor and lay in a spreading puddle of it's own blue blood. The other two aliens made a shrieking noise, and began to fire at him, and he ran out the doorway towards a stack of crates, taking out another alien on the way. He ducked behind the crates as the last alien began to fire. Suddenly he noticed the letters stenciled on the crates, and realized he was hiding behind crates of weapons and ammo. Not the best place to be right now. He hastily ran out from behind the crates, and almost ran into the third alien as it came around the side of the crate after him. The alien shrieked and tried to grab him, but he landed a solid kick in its midsection, knocking it backwards. He swiftly brought up his rifle, and emptied an entire clip into the alien's chest. Now that all the aliens were dead, he made sure both doors were secured, and sat down to rest and regroup. He opened up the weapons crates to see if there was anything he could use. It was mostly ammo in the first crate, and, luckily, the kind he needed. He ejected the empty clip from his pistol, and replaced it with a full one, and also took all the ammo he could carry for both his guns. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/02/hey-cool.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107724011977454443
I've posted a lot of links the last couple of days, mainly because I'm sick and lazy, and don't feel like doing much else. I'm still sick. I was supposed to work today, but I called in because I got really sick again last night, and didn't sleep much, and felt horrible this morning, and was coughing really bad again. I'm feeling a little bit better now though. I'm off work tomorrow, so hopefully by Saturday, when I have to go back to work, I'll be feeling better. That's really all I have to write about now. I think I'm gonna try to write something, the last week or so I've been feeling the urge to write.

Current Mood: Sick as hell. Current Music: "We Suck Young Blood," by Radiohead Since I'm lazy, most of this post is just cut and paste from a conversation I just had with http://www.wookiecookies.blogspot.com, with minor editing. Damn, I'm sick today, I was sick yesterday too. I don't know what it is, I got it from Marci, mom's got it too, and some of the people at work are getting it. It starts as a sore throat. That's about all Mom's got, is a really bad sore throat for days. Marci started out with a sore throat, then got a fever. I just woke up the other morning with a really sore throat, then as the day went on, my sinuses started bothering me, then that night I started sneezing. Yesterday it moved down into my chest, my throat wasn't as sore, but I was coughing a lot, and my sinuses were still congested. Today it's still just my nose and chest. I feel really weak and tired too the last two days. Last night I went to the bookstore, and by the time I left, I felt so bad I could barely drive home. I'm taking Nyquil pills and Robitussin cough syrup, but neither's doing much at all. I've been reading nearly the entire day. At 10:00 am I started reading the third Halo book, that I bought last night, "First Strike." I read it until 2:30, when I stopped to instead read a chapter of my business course, the next shipment finally came in. Then I read Halo some more until about 6:30, then me and Marci played Halo until a few minutes after 8:00. I've read about 250 pages of that Halo book today. It's only got 340 pages. Now the rest of this post is all original. So that's my day. It sucks. I feel like shit. Not as bad as I did, but still pretty shitty. Now I'm bored. I'll probably go finish reading that Halo book. Last night I also bought that Rob Zombie movie The House of 1000 Corpses. It was pretty cool, but not quite what I expected. First I expected it to be a lot campier and weirder, and also more extreme. The movie was actually pretty tame compared to what I was hoping to see. Also, there was no cannibalism, for some reason I was expecting, and hoping to see, cannibalism. Kim at work was right, it's very similar to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Actually, I've never seen that, but I've heard enough about it, and seen enough of one of the really bad sequels (the third movie, I think) to tell that it's very similar. The other day at work me and Kim were talking about Rob Zombie and Marilyn Manson, she loves Rob Zombie, and that movie. Well, I feel like crap, so that's all for now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/02/current-mood-sick-as-hell.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107707261010049944

Current mood: Really tired. Current Music: "Holiday" by the Bee Gees Today may be Friday the 13th, but I've been having bad luck for the last week or so. Around a week ago I got a nail in my tire, and had to go get it patched. Then, the other day I mentioned I was having car trouble, but thought it might be fixed. It wasn't. The next morning, yesterday, my car wouldn't start, so my mom had to take me to work. When I got home my dad looked at it, and all he could figure out is that it was either the battery, or the alternator. We jumped it and it finally started, and so I went to Autozone, and they hooked it up to a machine to test the battery and the alternator. Turned out it was just the battery. I had to buy a new battery, which cost $70. Also, a couple of nights ago, I got on my bed, and one of the legs folded under. I managed to fix it as good as it could be fixed, and it held for a while. But then the next evening I had been laying on it reading most of the day, and one of the times when I went got up off the bed, it broke again. This time the leg snapped completely off, and couldn't be fixed. So now I have my bed up on a cinder block, which is an inch or two taller than the leg was, so my bed leans a little. I don't really even notice though when I'm laying on it. Today, though it's Friday the 13th, I actually had a pretty good day. Well, there wasn't anything special or good about it, but nothing bad happened. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/02/current-mood-really-tired.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107672565084469959
It's almost Valentine's Day. Whoop-de-doo. I usually hate Valentine's Day, but it's not bothering me this year. Actually, I bought some flowers for someone this year, I still don't want to say who, not until tomorrow at least. I bought a dozen orange roses. I wanted to get her some flowers, but I felt red roses was going a little far. I've never given anyone anything for Valentine's day before. Except for in elementary school when we had to give a valentine to everyone in class. In honor of Valentine's day, I have a few Valentine's related items for this post. Japan has Valentine's Day, but it's a little bit different. On February 14th, women give chocolate to the men they know. Husbands, boyfriends, fathers, etc. Chocolate given to lovers and people you like, is called honmei-choco, but also, women must give little chocolates or trinkets to male co-workers, and things like that, whether they want to or not. This is called giri-choco, or "obligation chocolate." Then, on March 14th, called "White-Day" men return the favor, and give white chocolate and/or gifts to all women who gave them something on Valentine's Day. Here's a pickup line you should never use, courtesy of Johnny Bravo. "Man, you're hot! Can I smother you with my body so you don't catch on fire?" http://www.contrib.andrew.cmu.edu/~norm/love.html http://www.netreach.net/~trishy/vday.html http://hometown.aol.com/summergirl21486/Roses.html Hmmm, I thought I had more Valentine's stuff than that.

Though my story's seldom told I have squandered my resistance For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises All lies and jests Still a man hears what he wants to hear And disregards the rest When I left my home and my family I was no more than a boy In the company of strangers In the quiet of the railway station running scared Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters Where the ragged people go Looking for the places only they would know Lie la lie ... Asking only workman's wages I come looking for a job But I get no offers, Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome I took some comfort there Lie la lie ... Then I'm laying out my winter clothes And wishing I was gone Going home Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me Bleeding me, going home In the clearing stands a boxer And a fighter by his trade And he carries the reminders Of ev'ry glove that layed him down Or cut him till he cried out In his anger and his shame "I am leaving, I am leaving" But the fighter still remains Lie la lie ... posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/02/boxer-simon-and-garfunkel-i-am-just.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107603887818793637
http://www.nbc6.net/news/2818162/detail.html This story was referred to in this amusing, but very true, post by Owain (?) over at http://americancymro.blogspot.com/ I have long felt that if you show a certain persistence or ingenuity in trying to sneak into America, you should be allowed to stay, because you have demonstrated the qualities that Americans claim to hold dear. I once worked with a Mexican bloke who had been deported from the United States no less than six times, only to sneak back in and go back to work -- busting his ass in kitchens. Clearly this is a bloke who exemplifies the American spirit. How many natural-born Americans would do fuck all other than die if they were to be deported just once? I think once you've snuck into the United States six times, they should just automatically make you a citizen. Unless, of course, you're able to sail across the ocean in a 1950s Buick. That shows true ingenuity. For that, citizenship should be automatic and you should be handed a $1 million cheque.
I never thought of it that way, but he's got a good point. And THIS has a good point as well:

Dave Barry on Microsoft: "Microsoft's No. 1 product is Windows, which now comes automatically installed on every computer in the world and many kitchen appliances. Technically, Windows is an 'operating system,' which means that it supplies your computer with the basic commands that it needs to suddenly, with no warning whatsoever, stop operating. "I speak from experience here. Many a time I have spent hours writing a serious and thoughtful column on an important issue, only to have Windows -which is often referred to as 'the French labor union of software' -- get into a snit and call a general computer strike that erases all my work moments before deadline, leaving me with no choice but to bang out a highly inaccurate column such as this one.

Lance Arthur writes: Janet Jackson's tits are real. I would have said that this was all a publicity stunt and it was meant to happen, because how could Justin "accidentally" tear off her breast cover? He reached right over, and she let him, and he grabbed it and pulled and look, nipple! And, better even than that, nipple hardware! And then he's all "sorry about the wardrobe malfunction, yo," and MTV is all, "well, (shrug), we didn't know that was going to happen," and CBS is all "hey, they did it! not us. it was them" and shit and whatever and like, okay, so let's throw a hissy fit. And then America is all, "Hey, boob!" and the FCC Chairman is all "I am highly offended and deeply aroused," and Janet's all, "I have a new album coming out and my new single drops on Monday and how can I get some free publicity?" and I'm all, "Wait, what? Was that a... that was her... am I in fucking France or something?" Sure it's a tit, but it's a celebrity tit! On the most widely-watched spectacle on TV! In Prime Time! And it's a Jackson! So, that's all important to remember. And also: So, what was supposed to happen? Justin was going to reach over and grab her breast cover and pull and it reveals a diorama in support of our troops in Iraq as he sings "you're gonna be all nekkid and shit when I do this, yo," (I think he says "yo" all the time) and her chest heaves and cannons fire and skywrite 'marriage should be between a man and a woman's right breast' and she goes on to sing another fucking medley of her hits from two years ago?
A Thai man was mauled when he drunkenly tried to sexually attack a dog that fiercely resisted his advances. Police in Samut Prakan province, on Bangkok's south-eastern fringes, told the Thai Rath newspaper that Toryip Rawang, 33, had been drinking heavily with friends before Monday's incident. The bloodied man was questioned by police after residents notified local authorities when they saw him walking along a road. He told police he noticed a brown female stray dog wagging its tail and "acting sexy" and pulled it into some tall grass by the roadside. But the dog resisted, biting him on his face, chest and arms before he gave up his attempt and tried to stagger home. Under further questioning he admitted to raping three dogs previously while he was under the influence of alcohol. He told police he always became aroused when he drank heavily but did not have enough money to pay a prostitute. Police said the man was given a rabies shot and was not charged with a crime, but he had fled his home in an apparent effort to avoid public ridicule. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/02/thai-man-was-mauled-when-he-drunkenly.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107593934152666719

and Allen try to change a tire on Phillip's truck. It took them about an hour. Toward the end, me, Olivia, and Murray go inside, and start playing video games by ourselves. Apparently while we're doing this, they get done with the tire, and Allen leaves. So then a few minutes later, the three of us are still playing games when Phillip and Crystal run in and go off to their bedroom and bathroom. I'm not really paying attention, because I'm playing a game, but I can tell that apparently something is starting to happen. Then Phillip yells that he's gonna have to go to the hospital, and I figure that he hurt his hand or something changing the tire, but then him and Crystal rush around to leave, and Daniel offers to drive them both in his car. I ask what's going on, and they tell me that Crystal's "having problems" and needs to go to the hospital, meaning pregnancy related problems. For some reason Daniel drives them, leaving Olivia there. So it's me, Olivia, and Murray still there playing video games. About 15 minutes or so later, Olivia gets about three or four calls on her cell phone. She says that they've put her in the hospital, and they think she's going to have the baby, but that it may just be false labor caused by stress. So it's obvious we aren't going to be playing Halo, so Murray leaves. Allen is on his way to give Olivia key's to Phillip's truck, so she can drive it up to the hospital. When he gets there, both me and Olivia leave. Her to the Hospital, and me home. Update: About 8:40, as I was writing this, Daniel called and said that Crystal had the baby. They got to the hospital, and the baby was in breech, so they did a c-section. It's a boy, and they named it Allen Roger Warren, after Crystal's father and Phillip's father. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/02/ok-im-working-on-story-version-of.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107586083036213028
If I still had any faith in humanity left after the Nobel Prize thing yesterday, it would definitely be gone today, after the way everyone is acting over the whole Janet Jackson thing. Get over it people. I'm not even going to talk about it, if you aren't sick of it by now, and really want to read more about it, go to http://www.stuffexplodes.blogspot.com, she has stuff all about it. She thinks it was like the greatest thing in the history of the world or something.

or http://douweosinga.com/projects/googlehacks Also available is http://douweosinga.com/projects/visitedcountries, which has no use for me, as I have never been to any other countries. Though, hopefully, one day soon Japan will be in red on my Visited Countries map. Also on the same site, check out these http://douweosinga.com/projects/googlehacks. http://www.yomomma.com/Writings/democratoons.html http://pvspade.com/Sartre/cookbook.html The long version of an article I've read before and have on my computer somewhere. I prefer the shorter version, but this one is pretty funny anyway. I didn't get to write yesterday, because yesterday sucked. I didn't get to do anything yesterday. As soon as I walked in the house when I got home from work, my mom said "Hurry and change clothes, I need you to go with me to the dentist." She's been having a lot of pain from one of her teeth the last week or so, and it got so bad she just sat down with the phonebook and tried to find anywhere that was open Saturday and could fit her in. She finally found one about 40 miles away in Oklahoma City. She needed me to go with her so I could drive us back if she was in too much pain or something to drive back. They ended up having to do a root canal, so we were there for about three hours. By the time we got back home it was 8:30pm. We ordered some pizza, and so then by the time we ate it was a little after 9:00, and the last time I had gotten to eat anything the whole day was when I went on break at work at 9:30am. Then I was so tired I went to bed at 10:30. I was barely able to stay awake that late. I can't believe how early I've been going to bed the last few nights. I haven't gone to bed this early in probably almost ten years. The last two days at work have been fun, because I've gotten to work with http://www.stuffexplodes.blogspot.com both days. I haven't worked with her in a long time. It's fun. She's weird. And being around her makes me weird. I was very weird at work today. Yesterday I was talking about eating goats all morning, and then, I swear this is true, a couple came through drive-thru, and the lady in the passenger seat was holding a baby goat in her lap. It started bleating at me, in this cute little high-pitched bleat. I could barely take their money, because I was trying not to laugh. Even worse, Alicia was trying to take someone else's order over the headset, but she was laughing too hard. She finally had to kinda duck down so she couldn't see the goat anymore. Seeing goats in the drive-thru isn't that odd around here, it happens all the time. But they're usually in cages in the back of the truck, not sitting in a person's lap. It was a cute baby goat. It looked delicious. Just like Alicia's dog. Just thinking of Alicia's big, fat, meaty, dog makes my mouth water. I want to smother it in BBQ sauce and eat it. She said today that if I put BBQ sauce on it, it would probably eat itself, it is so fat. The goat incident also reminds me of the time a woman came through drive-thru, and there was a sock on the seat next to her. This isn't that weird. What was weird was that the sock was moving. A lot. Finally I asked her what was in the sock. And she said it was a snake. That's where she keeps her snake, in a big sock with the end tied. Today was even more fun than yesterday, because today was really slow, so me, Alicia, and Kim just stood around goofing off most of the day. Well, I have to go now, I'm going to finish the third chapter of my PCDI Small Business Management course. I've put this chapter off for about a week. I was going to do it yesterday, but didn't get to. This was a very long post. The longest one in a long time. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/02/current-music-brak-singing-donttouch.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=107568002442568977
2. New Age 97% 3. Unitarian Universalism 97% 4. Mahayana Buddhism 88% 5. Liberal Quakers 86% (What the fuck?) 6. Theravada Buddhism 76% (Another cool religion, but I think I like the Mahayana form of Buddhism a little better.) 7. Taoism 74% (I really like this religion too.) 8. Mainline - Liberal Christian Protestants 72% (Ugh.) 9. New Thought 67% (I don't have any idea what this is.) 10. Secular Humanism 67% 11. Hinduism 62% (Cool.) 12. Jainism 60% (This is another cool eastern religion, but a little too strict for me, they are very skinny Gandhi looking people, and they believe in not hurting any living thing, even plants and insects. Which makes it really hard for them to find things to eat. They eat plants, but only because they have to. They believe it's better to eat plants than animals, because even though they are alive, they aren't as alive as animals. They even constantly sweep the ground in front of them with a broom so they wont step on any ants or anything.) 13. Scientology 55% (Fuck! What is this doing here?!) The list continued on to 27, but I don't feel like typing the rest. Those were the best. The rest of the results were less than 50% match anyway. You can take the test here: http://www.selectsmart.com/RELIGION/.

http://www.panlogic.net/yellowsnow/peeindex.html Write your name in the snow, and then send it to your friends. A website that turns out to be nothing like what you'd expect: http://www.cummingfirst.com/ http://www.giantmicrobes.com/ Cute stuffed toys that look like microscopic, disease-causing, organisms. So anyway, I went to Local Oklahoma Bank this morning, to get more info on that account I was thinking of opening. Turns out that what they call a "High Interest Checking Account" means an interest rate of 0.45%. Needless to say, I didn't open it after all. Instead I kept my money at my current bank, and just moved it into a Money Market account, which earns the same amount of interest as a regular savings account, but has added features. You can write checks from it if you want to, but I don't plan on it, I'm keeping my normal checking account too. The main reason I liked this account is they give you deposit slips, like with a checking account, so you can put money into it without having to go in the bank. Ok, guess I'm gonna go work on those new t-shirts now, even though I don't really want to. The new shirts are all geeky, stuff about video games and RPGs and computers, and stuff like that. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/01/yellow-snow-from-panlogic-write-your.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107523983035886755
Cold out there today. As soon as I typed that, I instantly thought of that episode of Family Guy where they get relocated to the south in the Witness Protection Program, and Stewie's sitting on the porch with a banjo with a bunch of old men, and he says, "Hot out there today. Yup. Hot out there every day." And then they all start playing banjo jugband music. So anyway, it's really cold today, and yesterday, and every day, at least for a while. It was in the high twenties most of the day yesterday, and it snowed most of the day, but there wasn't any accumulation, and the roads never froze no matter how wet they got, because the ground temperature was still around 50. There's just a little white dusting on the grassy areas. Today it's only 15 degrees, the last time I saw the temperature. It's supposed to get up to 37 today, 45 tomorrow, and then the next five days after that, the highs are all going to be between 30 and 34. Me and Chris are working on some new shirt designs. He's telling me things he wants to buy a t-shirt of, and I'm making them. At his request, I also put the "you rode the short bus" image on a BBQ Apron, because he's going to buy it. It will be a few days before I get the new shirts up though, because I've still got to break out my PaintShop Pro and make the images. And now I have to go, I've still got to do all that banking stuff today. Then I have to go to Best Buy to buy a USB adapter thingy if I can find one. I've got some links I'll hopfully get around to posting later. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/01/cold-out-there-today.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107522578686884673

Here's their latest sick plan. "PETAs New Comic for Kids - a Real-Life Horror Story!
"PETA activists - including cuddly, costumed raccoons and foxes - are making guest appearances outside performances of The Nutcracker across the country this holiday season with a cheeky message of compassion. As children arrive to see the "Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy," some will be unaware that their mothers are already starring in a real-life horror story! PETA will be there to greet any fur-clad moms and their children with their newest anti-fur leafletPETA Comics presents...'Your Mommy Kills Animals!' "Kids will see the bloody truth behind their moms pretentious pelts. Accompanied by graphic photographs of skinned carcasses and animals languishing on fur farms, children will read: 'Lots of wonderful foxes, raccoons, and other animals are kept by mean farmers who squish them into cages so small that they can hardly move. They never get to play or swim or have fun. All they can do is cry-just so your greedy mommy can have that fur coat to show off in when she walks the streets.'" posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/01/furisdead.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107505473120665199

http://www.venisproductions.com/movies/heyyacb.html I hate to admit it, but this is great. It's clips from various Charlie Brown specials put together to make a video for "Hey Ya" by Outkast. It's very well done, and it actually looks like the Charlie Brown characters are singing and dancing to the song. I also hate to admit that, now that I've actually listened to this song, I really like it. The only drawback is that it takes about 30 minutes to download if you don't have DSL or cable modem. http://www.johntitor.com/ This is pretty interesting.

As the weeks went by, more and more people began questioning him about why he was here, the physics of time travel and his thoughts about our time. He also posted on other forums including the old Art Bell site. In his posts John Titor entertained, angered, frightened and even belittled those who engaged him in conversation. "On March 24, 2001, John Titor told us he would be leaving our time and returning to 2036. After that, he was never heard from again. Speculation and investigation about who John Titor was and why he was online continues to this day." http://www.miniclip.com/battleships.htm Warning, this could suck up at least an hour of your day. It did with me. http://www.stevequayle.com/Giants/charts/charts.html This is pretty interesting, even if most of it is based on scripture or so-called archealogical finds I've never even heard of before.

An announcer on TV just said "as seen on TV," and I could've sworn he said "ass seen on TV." I wish he would've said that, that would be cool. I prefer "Not stored in any souls!" I went to Office Max today, just to look around mainly. Is it just me, or does anyone else love office supply stores? Some guys love hardware stores, I love office supply stores. They always have such cool stuff there. I could spend all my money at Office Max. I'm trying to save my money, so I didn't intend on spending much money, but I ended up spending almost $50.00. The only thing I needed to buy was a new lockbox to keep important documents and stuff in. I have a small lockbox already, but it's too small, so I needed a bigger one. I also ended up buying one of those little tiny USB storage devices. It's about the size of a small pack of gum, and stores 64 megabytes of stuff. I didn't really need it, but I've always wanted one, and they had it on sale, so I ended up buying it. I lucky I made it out of there without spending more than that. I love office supply stores! I always look at the Office Max and Office Depot ads in the Sunday paper. I'm weird. Man, it's freezing in here! It's barely 40 degrees outside today. The other night at work I thought of an idea for a t-shirt. They should have a t-shirt that says "4 out of 5 doctors agree: You Suck!" I told Daniel, and he thought it was funny, and that he thought there should be a t-shirt that says "You're just jealous because you don't smell like ass too." I didn't think anyone would wear that, but then he told the other employees about it, and they all said they liked his shirt better, and that they'd buy it. I wish I could think of more shirt ideas. I think I'm gonna maybe go make a http://www.cafepress.com store, like I've been wanting to for years. I signed up to make a store once, but never got around to it, because I doubt anyone would buy any of my designs. But I may try it, who knows, I may sell a couple. And I need every dollar I can get. I doubt I'll bother though. Hmmm seems like there was something else I wanted to write about, but I forgot what it was. I'll probably thing of it later. For now, here's something I saw on the internet somewhere once. I forget where, it's been a couple of years, I just saved the text to my computer. It's pretty funny, and very accurate. A Generic Console RPG Plot Well, having played a whole pile of console RPGs translated and brought over to the US (22 at last count), I have to say that, as much as I like them, I'm a tad sick of some of the repetitious plot elements. As such, here's my own cynical version of a Generic Console RPG plot from Japan. Of course, not all games have all of these stereotypical elements (and some are thankfully much more original), but maybe some of these will sound familiar to a console RPG veteran.... (More later.) History: A now-peaceful world dimly remembers an ancient past where powerful forces of good battled against an evil force that sought mass destruction. The forces of good prevailed, and a few centuries of prosperity and forgetfulness followed.... Now: A dark(blue?)-haired young man, Our Hero, grows up in a quaint, bucolic, picturesque farm town; of course, he's an orphan. As time progresses, he becomes aware of something about himself that is different. He has powers that no one else has. Eventually he becomes a social outcast because he is misunderstood, and he must go traveling around the countryside in search of his true nature. Often, he is blamed for the increase in monsters in the world. Along the way, Our Hero meets a young (blond) princess who joins up and adventures with him; she turns into the primary magic caster of the team. He'll also meet at least one unusually strong (usually male) fighter, an inventor with kooky weapons (male or female), and at least one really weird character (say, a robot, a sprite, a sentient onion, a talking animal, or a feral wild boy, etc.). He also is befriended by mysterious spirits who talk to him when he's unconscious and tell him he has a special destiny to save the world. Around this time, Our Hero finds mysterious devices that look suspiciously like teleporter pads.... However, they are not operational yet. Our Hero, to get around, must first use a ship to travel across the ocean. He still can't go everywhere until he later gets a more powerful ship. More on this later. Our Hero inevitably winds up in the princess' (big and treasure-filled) castle and meets the king (and sometimes queen, too) at some point or other. Usually the Princess' father disapproves of what they're doing, and she winds up having to escape from the castle somehow to re-join her friends. Of course, she feels guilty for doing so, but she's sick of being a princess and just wants to be herself. Too bad the odds are good the king will somehow die before the end of the game.... At first the monsters they run into are fairly innocuous and small, but gradually the monsters get visibly larger and larger, and also more dangerous. At the same time, the scenery grows progressively harsher, changing from peaceful forests, small towns, and gentle farmlands into nastier forests, big dirty cities, and things like deserts and dungeons. Much, much later, the harsh scenery turns into sterile steel-n-concrete and other high-tech ruins. Of course, Our Hero and his companions need strong weapons to survive. They find or buy progressively more poweful items. Strangely, Our Hero's own home town always seems to have the worst selection of weapons, and each new town he finds always seems to have something better (and more expensive) than what he already has.... Our Hero also runs up against "evil" human forces led by a misguided king of a different land. The bad king is just a pawn, though; some sinister minister or advisor is at the king's side, manipulating him. And the minister has worse connections.... This foreign king will, sometime in the future, repent of his ways, usually too late to do anything. By now, Our Hero has also figured out how to activate the transporter pads, and can now teleport around the world. To cap off everything, he gets a flying machine (or creature) that can take him almost anywhere on the (sadly small) planet without the bother of having to travel to and from the transporters. Our Hero also begins to catch more glimpses of the Ancient Highly Advanced Culture; he stumbles upon ancient ruins that contain electronics far beyond his own mid-tech culture. He finds the ruins of things that look suspiciously like TVs, cars, and spaceships. He begins to run into robots, and ancient magic spells are re-discovered. Our Hero might even wind up transported to a different world in a different plane of existence (or at least a different time period), where he learns about the past. The plot begins wrapping up around this point, as Our Hero discovers that all problems stem from the actions of some Evil Ancient Entity, a creature that
lives in some mechanical satellite of some sort far above the planet's surface. Our Hero has already fought and defeated a number of the Evil Enemy's henchmen and lieutenants. Now Our Hero needs to activate the mechanisms to reach the source of all the badness, the Evil Entity, deep within its cozy high-tech lair. Luckily, he has the help of the ancient environmentalist Guardian Spirits that have long protected the world (remember the spirits that had been telling him he was special in his dreams?). Along the way, he encounters an evil lieutenant or two (sometimes ones he's already defeated before), and he even converts one and saves him/her from his/her evil ways. Finally, Our Hero reaches the Evil Entity's lair, because He Is Destined to do so. The Evil Entity reveals that it arrived from outer space and is now trying to make this planet fit its own agendas. Then it tries to entice our Hero into switching sides by pointing out Our Hero's own personal weaknesses (and those of his friends'), but it fails because Our Hero still cares about his friends anyway and wants to be with them. Now Our Hero fights the Evil Entity, who actually appears to die once or twice but who always comes back stronger and meaner. Finally, Our Hero succeeds in destroying the Evil Entity for good, though not without the help of his companions, who give him the last bit of spiritual love and strength he needs to achieve the impossible for the sake of the world. One or more of them may die at this point, happy to have fulfilled their missions. Thus, evil is vanquished again, and things are restored to their peaceful, bucolic ways. Finally, the survivors can return to living out their simple lives amidst their green trees and quaint little houses. And there was much rejoicing. Hey, wasn't that easy? I could be a game designer. Whoops, I already am one. Oh well.... As a last note, plot elements frequently become over-used when they contain powerful ideas that appeal to many people at some deep level. The Japanese RPG industry, like any industry, must always strive to get new customers, and any first-time player will likely get the full, fresh impact of even a commonlyused theme. It's only after playing a ton of similar games that a user starts getting as jaded as, well, I am. And, finally, my sample of games is strictly limited to those that make it into the US fully translated, which is a fraction of all RPGs produced in Japan. -rei@mit.edu posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/01/announcer-on-tv-just-said-as-seen-on.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107455361315345368
Underwear! I have UNDERWEAR! YAY! Underwear powers... ACTIVATE! WITH THESE UNDERWEAR I SHALL RULE THE WORLD! I've been needing some more underwear for a couple of months now, but never could remember to buy any, but I finally did. Damn, it's cold here today. It's like 35 degrees, and windy and wet. It's been raining for several days now. Well, it's not really raining today or yesterday, but it's all misty and wet. Shut up Slunchy. Slunchy said some very naughty things in response to "misty and wet." Slunchy's a disgusting, filthy pervert. Like I mentioned the other day, I'm trying to save up my money now. I'm doing good so far. I'm going to be able to deposit my entire check this week. I've also made 52 cents the last two days just by picking up found coins and stuff. I'm saving my money for the business I plan on opening in a few years, but also for other purposes. I need to do all the things I want to do now, before I get into starting a business. So, hopefully sometime in the next year or two, I'm going to go to Japan for a week or two, so I'm saving up for that too. I'm also trying to earn extra money by working more. I usually get sent home early, since I have all my work done early, and they want to cut costs at work. Lately we've been really slow, so the last month or two I've been getting sent home really early every night nearly. My check I got the other day was only 44.5 hours for two weeks. It was the smallest check I've ever had. So I'm trying to some home early less now, having them send someone else home early instead. But the way they've cut everyone's hours, even if I worked every hour I'm scheduled, that would still only be about 62 hours for two weeks instead of 80. I may switch to day crew, so I can get a full 40 hours a week. I hate days though. Actually, days are kinda cool, because they're so busy the 8 hours goes by really quick. But I just hate getting up at 6:00 in the morning. I may do it though, but it will be a while before I can, because I'd have to give them warning, so they could hire and train some more night crew people to take my place. I can't beleive it, but I'd also actually miss working with a couple of the people on nights. I really need to just get a better job, but I'm still not having any luck there. I finally gave up on the prison. I went in for four interviews and got turned down every time. Winning the lottery would be nice. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/01/underwear-i-have-underwear-yay.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107445507871088668
Man, this is the stupidest thing I've seen in a long time. It really reminds me of why I hate rabid Christians so much. It's the ChildCare Action Project site. Christian movie reviews, they review movies and list what's wrong with them from a Christian viewpoint. The people who insist Harry Potter is evil because it has magic. Check out their review of Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, according to them it's like one of the worst movies ever made because of all the magic and imaginary creatures. Also, talking trees are an offense to God. So is Gollum, partly because he doesn't wear enough clothes, partly because he was granted extreme long life by the ring. The whole article can be read http://www.capalert.com/capreports/lotr-returnoftheking.htm. Here's their quick list of offenses of LOTR: ROTK. Wanton Violence/Crime (W) # action violence, repeatedly, some graphic # lust for possession, including to kill, repeatedly # planning killing # arrow killing, graphic # long battle violence/gore, quite frequent # beatings, with and without tools/weapons # graphic arrow impalements
# use of severed heads as throwing weapons # graphic crushing deaths, frequent # great falls with impacts seen # decayed and encapsulated bodies and body parts # graphic attack by larger-than-actor spider, repeatedly # attempted murder, repeatedly # fighting, repeatedly # impalement by huge spider # human incineration # attempted ritual suicide/murder by fire # close-ups of death and dying # pointing finger bitten off # perils of danger from risk of great fall # fall into lava Impudence/Hate (I) # spreading dissent among friends, allies # lying # framing of guilt by deceit # deceit with intent t kill Sexual Immorality (S) # sparse dress on male character, repeatedly # excessive cleavage # open face kiss Drugs/Alcohol (D): # smoking # drinking # drunkenness Offense to God (O) # unholy transformation by evil power # talking trees # unholy healing # evil control # unholy possession # threat by wizardry/sorcery # prophesying # tale of sorcery # evil beasts/demons, repeatedly # enlisting tens of thousands of "walking dead" to do good by assisting the "good guys" in battle # frequent and repeated graphic views of many unholy creatures (Orcs) many times in close-up # use of evil (sorcery/witchcraft/wizardry) to do good by assisting the "good guys" in battle # grant of immortality # seeking evil for help in battle # control of humans with a curse # demon beast attacks, some quite graphic and with many deaths # light by sorcery, twice # transporting people by unholy magic # attempted ritual suicide/murder # walking dead walking on water # many instances of using evil for good # seeing the non-seeable by wizardry # images of supreme evil Murder/Suicide (M) # murder to possess object # brutal murder of battle-injured man with impalement shown Man, these people are idiots. It makes my head hurt. They also have a review of the South Park movie, which is quite funny. According to them, an adult male midget in a women's bikini is an offense to God. I guess because it's cross-dressing and he's not wearing enough clothes. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/01/man-this-is-stupidest-thing-ive-seen.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=10744469958530909
I added a couple more links to the list of blogs. And here's some more cool links I've found recently.
http://www.oanda.com/converter/classic?user=wfshea&lang=en) Pretty handy. If I converted my entire savings to Japanese Yen, I'd have over 345,000 Yen. There's even a link to another site where you can get foreign currency and have it delivered to your house. http://www.mycathatesyou.com/default.asp Really funny. Check out the "About Us" section of the site. It's pretty funny. "We ended up working at a few more jobs together along the way, instructing the uninitiated in the art of keeping your 12-pack hidden from the boss, but STILL COLD enough to enjoy during miserable hours of phone tech support. Anyone who has not done this job won't appreciate the value of drinking luke-warm Meisterbrau at 1:00am while explaining to the last Civil War veteran how to find 'them naked girls' on the Intarweb." http://www.chami.com/html-kit/services/favicon/ Allows you to make one of those tiny little pictures that appears by your internet address up in the toolbar of your browser. I made one for my page, but unfortunately I can't use it because I can't upload pictures to this server. http://www.notfoolinganybody.com/schmindex.html What happens when a lesser-known business moves into the building that was formerly a well-known business, and you can still tell from the shape of the building what the place used to be. Man, that sentence was awkward. Anyway, I have got to go get some pictures of the former Carl's Jr. in Chickasha. Now it's some mexican restauraunt, but you can still tell it was a Carl's Jr. It's still got stars on it, and the sign is star-shaped even. All they did to the restaraunt is paste some cartoon mexican guy in a sombrero over the faces in the center of the stars. Ugh, I have to work tonight. I hate Fridays. They changed my work schedule around this week. I've been being off on Saturdays, but this week I have to work Friday and Saturday. Both the long nights that we are open an extra hour later. Well, I guess I shouldn't complain. I need the hours. My last few checks have been really small. Really small as in $250 for two weeks of work. I've gotta start working more and saving up my money for this whole starting a business thing. I've got a little over $3,250 in my savings account, and I'd like to have around $10,000 before I try to open a business. I'm going to really have to cut down on my spending, and start working more too. I've also got a big jar now that I'm putting all my coins in. When it gets full I'm going to take it to the bank, and deposit it in my savings account. That will actually increase my bank account pretty quick, because I accumulate change like you wouldn't beleive. I hardly ever use any change. I can have a pocketful of change and I'll still break a dollar. Whenever I go shopping, if I go to several places while I'm out, I'll come home and have two dollars in change in my pocket. I just cashed in all my coins a few months ago, and I've already got about $50 in change rolled up here that I'm going to put in the bank my next day off. Which is Monday. I have to work Friday, saturday and Sunday, it's gonna suck. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2004/01/i-added-couple-more-links-to-list-of.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107427803933215808

I am in the greatest mood today. I'm not sure why, I just am. I think part of it is the excellent CD I burned today. The track list is as follows: Boys of Summer - The Ataris Thank You - Dido Touch of Grey - The Grateful Dead November Rain - Guns N' Roses Civil War - Guns N' Roses Hurt - Johnny Cash Dust in the Wind - Kansas Behind Blue Eyes - Limp Bizkit Sister Christian - Night Ranger I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) - The Proclaimers It's the End of the World as We Know It - R.E.M. The One I Love - R.E.M. Stand - R.E.M. The CD rocks. Almost every song on it is a song I absolutely love. Touch of Grey is now my favorite song. It's one of the greatest songs ever made. It's also the first music video I remember seeing. When I was a little kid this amazing video came out, and my whole family loved it. Whenever it came on we'd always tell each other and we'd all watch it. It is such a cool video. It was made up to look like a live performance by the Grateful Dead, but every now and then during the song they would change to skeletons. It was these skeletons dressed up to look like the band members, and they were like on wires and stuff, so it looked like they were playing the music and singing and stuff. I went shopping today, mainly to try to finally find a present for my dad. I had no idea what to get him, and neither does my mom, she doesn't know what to get him at all. I also needed to find a present for Alicia, but I forgot to do that. I found something for my dad, a cheap little tool kit thing to keep in your car. I bought a lot of stuff for myself while I was there too. I ended up spending like 50 dollars today. The other day I bought a lot of manga, I got three books of the Dragonball manga, and an issue of Shonen Jump manga magazine. I was going to go to the movies and see The Last Samurai again, but then I realized that the new Lord of the Rings movie came out today, so I knew I wouldn't be able to get near the theater, and I had also spent enough money already today. I'm going to have to go out again Friday and do some more shopping, and find something for Alicia. Friday's also my birthday, yay! Alicia gave me my birthday present today, it's cool. It's a wind chime, which, like she said, is kinda a girly present, but it's still cool, because it's got Chinese symbols on it. I'm gonna go do some online shopping now. For Christmas my parents are giving me $150 dollars to use to order stuff I want from the internet with. That sentence was really awkward, but I tried writing it several different ways, and that was the best I could do. I know it violated a few rules of grammar though, for example, you're not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/12/i-am-in-greatest-mood-today.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107170773031757543

Well, it's raining, but it doesn't look like we'll get the snow they predicted. They've already cut down their predictions for this part of the state. They are getting inches of snow north of us, but down here they've got us in "trace to 3 inches." We probably wont even get that, unless its late tonight, it's 43 degrees outside here. It will probably freeze later, and then at least it will be icy from all the rain, but who knows if we'll get any snow. If it wasn't for work I'd wish it wouldn't do anything, because I don't want it to be bad tomorrow when I'm off, but I wish it would do something tonight so we'd be dead at work, instead of extremely busy. Almost my birthday. I never know how I should count the days. Do I count today? Do I count the day of my birthday, since my parents make me wait until the approximate time of my birth to give me my presents, which is like 6:30 in the evening? If I don't count today, or my birthday, it's only five days. If I count both, it's seven. Wow, it's raining pretty good now. And I'm bored. I've been playing Budokai for the last hour or so, but I'm bored with that now, and there's nothing on TV except for The Powerpuff Girls, which, yes, I usually watch, but I've seen most of the episodes at least 10 times. I think I'll do something I don't do very often: go to a chat room. I usually avoid chatrooms because 99.999% of them are incredibly stupid people trying to find someone to have cyber sex with. I only go to them when extremely bored. This one is pretty good usually though. It's a Japan chat room on AOL, lots of talk about Japan and Anime usually. Hmm, today it looks like it sucks though. There's 20 something people in the room, but only the 5 or 6 stupidest are talking. Here's an excerpt from the fascinating conversation: Dragonne59297290: there are asian here ? Soldierblack814: YALL B SAFE GOTTA GO BYE King Eva of NERV: What is troubling you Aithanx?

Wow, I can't beleive it, I figured for sure I'd be up a pound or two today, because I feel fat, and I've eaten a lot the last few days. But then I weighed this morning, and I'm down another 2 pounds, down to 259, that's a total of 20 pounds lost! Hoo-rah. Getting pretty close to my birthday. It's next Friday. I wish it was this Friday. Dammit, that movie Held Up is coming on Comedy Central. I hate that movie, and they usually show it at least once a week. It's a horrible movie, I can't beleive anyone watches it, or that it made any money at all when it was in the theaters. The temperature is going up pretty quick today, it's 46 degrees now, and just a few hours ago it was only 27 degrees. Tomorrow we're supposed to get between 3 and 5 inches of snow. I'll beleive that when I see it. It may do that in Oklahoma City, but here where I am, only about 30 miles south of OKC, it hardly ever snows or anything, maybe an inch or two at the most. People panic around here though. If we get half an inch of snow, they close all the schools and stuff. I hope we do get some snow tomorrow, because that means it will be really slow at work, instead of extremely busy like Fridays usually are. It seems like there was something else I wanted to write about today, but I can't remember what it was now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/12/wow-i-cant-beleive-it-i-figured-for.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107117341192451938
Yes, this white space is very annoying. At first I thought something was wrong with the site, but then I figured out that it's just because my posts are so short and far between now that my post area is much shorter than the sidebar. There's a big white space at the bottom of the page too. This post isn't going to be very long either. I just don't have anything much to write about lately. Just the usual work and video games. Work was very very busy two nights in a row a few days ago, it really sucked. I work tonight, but I only work lobby, so it will be a short, easy night, and then I'm off tomorrow. It's supposed to maybe snow tomorrow, even though right now it's 74 degrees outside. It's hot. Way too fucking hot for December. Adam Sandler is on Saturday Night Live right now, singing the Lunchlady Land song, and Chris Farley is dancing around dressed as the lunchlady, and everyone else is dressed up as Sloppy Joe and all the other foods, and they are acting out the song as he sings. It's great. I think they're showing a best of Chris Farley thing, cool. I love Chris Farley. I still haven't been exercising much lately. I'm still on my diet, but not exercising much. I'm going to get really serious after Christmas or New Years. I've lost another three pounds the last week, I'm down to 261, that's 18 pounds lost. I look a lot thinner now. I'm looking a lot better. I bought some new work pants the other day, and had to get a smaller size. I can't wait for Christmas and my birthday, I'm getting lots of cool video games, most notably, Dragonball Z Budokai 2. I'm really looking forward to that game. I saw a commercial for it the other day, and it was so cool I thought I was going to have a seizure or something. Man, I'm a geek. Hey, this post is a little longer that I figured it would be, it should get rid of that damn white space. This Chris Farley thing is hilarious. They just showed a montage of some of his funniest physical comedy moments. He was great at falling down and breaking things. Mmmm, I had Chinese food for lunch. I've been craving it for about two months. They just said on CNN that Ozzy has revealed that he was totally out of it on prescription medications during their reality show. Well, gotta go now. Hooray for the semi-long post. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/12/yes-this-white-space-is-very-annoying.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107091018401550488
Christmas party tonight at work. It's probably going to suck. It's not going to be much, not like usual. Usually we have games and exchange presents and stuff, but this year it's just going to be a meal, and from the looks of the who's-bringing-what list, not much of a meal at that. I wonder who's coming, hardly anyone has signed up to come, but they'll probably show up anyway. On the good side, we get to close early tonight for the party. For some reason drivethru is closing at 7:30 and the lobby and everything else at 8:00. That doesn't make sense, it should be the other way around, drive-thru should close at 8:00, and lobby at 7:30, since the party is being held in the lobby. I get to work lobby tonight too, which is good and bad. Good, because lobby is easy, and I can definitely have everything done by 8:00, I probably couldn't get everything in drive-thru done by the time we closed, but it's bad because lobby closes at 8:00, and the party starts right after that, but I'll have to go home and change clothes and get the food I'm bringing, and then come back, and it will be almost 8:30 by then. I gained a total of three pounds on Thanksgiving and the days of leftovers, but I've lost it all again already. I haven't been able to walk the last few days, because the weather's getting pretty cold now, and the wind still sucks. The wind has been blowing like crazy for the last three weeks. It's 20mph and up almost every day. The slow days it's only 15mph. I've been playing Grand Theft Auto: Vice City constantly the last few days. I've been playing it for almost five hours so far today. And I never do any of the missions or anything, I just use cheat codes to give myself all the weapons and stuff like that, and then run around killing everyone and blowing stuff up. It's fun. I let my sister watch me play it a few days ago, and she thought it was the funniest thing ever. She's evil though. Maybe I should bring her to the Christmas party tonight, family is invited. For some reason several of the people there thinks she's evil and is scared of her or something, so it would be funny to bring her. But I'm not going to. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/12/christmas-party-tonight-at-work.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107048221571730951

Damn, I'm up another pound today, back up to 266. I'm not surprised though, I stuffed myself on Thanksgiving leftovers last night. I think I ate more last night than I did on Thanksgiving. Tomorrow I go back on my diet for real though. I'm off tomorrow, so I'll get to exercise a lot too. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/11/damn-im-up-another-pound-today-back-up.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=107013180375913455
I'm down another three pounds today. Hooray! That means I now weigh 264, for a total of 15 pounds lost. I wasn't able to go walking this morning though, my leg still hurts. I bought some stuff yesterday, and used it to further decorate my little "table top Asian area." The top of my dresser is covered with little dragon and Buddha statues and stuff like that. With my Bonsai tree in the center. Yesterday I bought more stuff. Have you ever seen those little boxes, usually at the bookstore, with names like "The Mini Buddha Kit," or "The Mini Voodoo Doll Kit," or "The Mini Zen Garden Kit," things like that? I love those things, I already had the Zen Garden kit, the mini fountain kit, and the sushi kit. The sushi kit came with a tiny book about sushi, a pair of tiny, completely unusable (for me anyway) chopsticks, a little soy sauce dipping bowl, and a bamboo sushi rolling mat. Yesterday I bought a really cool kit, called the "Takeout for Two" kit, all about Chinese takeout food. It came with a little book about Chinese takeout, including some recipies to make Chinese food yourself, and hints on hour to make your Chinese takeout eating experience more authentic. It also came with two more pairs of tiny chopsticks, two ceramic chopstick holders, which are cool, two mini paper lanterns and two of those placemats they always have at Chinese restaurants that have the Chinese Zodiac stuff on them. I also bought the "Executive Desk Gong" kit, which is just a mini gong, and a little book about gongs. So anyway, I used to gong and the paper Landers to further decorate my dresser. I really need to find another place to put my "Yellow Submarine" lava lamp, as it does not fit the rest of the design scheme. I've been wanting to get a tattoo lately. I'm thinking about it. I'd have to hide it from my parents though. I'm 23, so I wouldn't HAVE to, but I'd want to, because they'd freak out. I want to get some Chinese symbol on my upper arm. Probably the symbol for courage, or honor. The honor symbol looks kind weird though. It looks like a little stick figure samurai to me. It's supposed to look like a basket of cowrie shells, because in ancient China they were used for money, and supposedly someone who paid all his debts and gave money to the poor was honorable. I'm gonna take a picture, and see if I can't get it up on the page here. A picture of my little Asian shrine. Wait, I can't I forgot, my stupid digital camera saves its files to a disk instead of some USB memory card, and my iMac doesn't have a floppy drive, so getting the pic to this computer would be a long complicated process. First I have to take the picture, then I have to boot up my old laptop PC, which takes about 15 minutes to get fully started up, then I have to use its disk drive, and then get online and email the picture to myself. Then I have to sign back onto the internet with my iMac and download the picture. I'll do all that later. I'm going to have to wait a while for my camera's battery to charge anyway. This is a really cool camera, it cost over $700 when my parents got it for me for Christmas a few years ago. It takes still pictures and even videos up to a minute long, and it's a Sony. So it's really good, the only problem is that it saves to a disk. Which was actually a good thing, because when I got it, the computer I had just had a disk drive, and no USB capabilities. But now the computer I have now has USB but no disk drive. It's always something. Anyway, I gotta go to work later. I'm actually in a good mood about it, because I was off yesterday, and then I'm off tomorrow, and it's a pretty short night tonight, and it probably won't be that busy either. It's hard to tell, it will either be really slow because most people have already gone to their relative's houses and stuff, or it will be really busy, because of people still driving to wherever they are going. It will probably be slow though, I think it was last year. I like Thanksgiving, though I'm not going to be able to eat much this year. I'll just eat a few bites of each thing. My mom doesn't cook a huge meal, about the only difference between Thanksgiving dinner and a normal dinner is that there's turkey, giblet gravy (mmm, I love giblet gravy) and dressing. Everything else is the same kind of stuff she always cooks. Thanksgiving is pretty boring for me, there's no family. For the last several years thanksgiving is just me, my parents and my sister. We used to go over to my grandparents on my dad's side's house, where a lot of my dad's side of the family would get together. We never had thanksgiving with my mom's side of the family, I've never even met most of them. And both my grandparent's on that side were dead long ago. But now my grandparents on my dad's side are dead too, and most of the rest of the family doesn't get along together well, so we haven't gotten together in several years now. Probably 7 or 8 years. Wow, this is the longest post I've made in a long time. Dammit, on the 13th I ordered some Dragonball Z DVDs. After a couple of days it said they were backordered, even though when I ordered them they were all in stock. Now like two weeks later, they're still backordered, so I sent them an e-mail asking how much longer it would take. A couple of days later, yesterday, I receive a response saying that all four of the DVDs I ordered are discontinued and no longer for sale, even though I've already been charged for them, and waiting for them for two weeks. They say I can either choose four different DVDs of equal price, or ask for a refund. I asked for the refund, but they still haven't done it yet, it will probably take a couple of days, like it did for them to respond to my e-mail the first time. Then today I get my credit card bill and it has that charge on there. So now I'm going to have to wait for the website to refund my money, and then call the credit card company and make sure the charge was taken off. I hope it doesn't take a long time for them to do it. Just now as I was typing that last sentence, I got an email. One of those "Nigerian" scams. Those famous ones where the people claim they are the wife of the former ruler of Nigeria, or something like that, and they want to deposit a few million dollars in your back account if you will just give them access to your bank account. The subject line of this one was "Please help us, for Allah's sake." Well, I'm gonna go workout now or something. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/11/im-down-another-three-pounds-today.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106987713672748909
Dammit, I'm extremely hungry tonight for some reason. I ate dinner at 5:30, and then by 9:00 I was so hungry my stomach was growling. So I ate an apple. I'm still starving for some reason. My stomach keeps rumbling. I really hope I'm down another pound or two tomorrow, I wasn't today. Still 267. I'm starting to look pretty thin now. Well, not thin, but the thinnest I've looked in years. Which is weird, because a few years ago I got down to 250 and I didn't look this thin. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/11/i-pulled-muscle-or-something-today.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106982254047288472

Last night I had a really rude customer come through drive through. He wanted a kid's meal, but he didn't want the drink. The drink is included in the price of the kid's meal, there's no way we can take it off. If they don't want the drink they don't have to get it, but they still have to pay for it. Most of the customers don't have much of a problem with it, they either say ok, or go ahead and get the drink anyway. This guy last night got mad though. He complained about it, but told me to just go ahead and give him an orange drink with it. Then when he pulled around to the window he said "I want to speak to your manager RIGHT NOW." So I went and got Curtis, who had heard the guy arguing when he ordered and had called him an idiot already. Curtis went over to the guy who apparently didn't believe me, because he asked Curtis, "I have to get a drink with my kid's meal?" And Curtis told him the same thing I told him, no, you don't have to get the drink, but you still have to pay for it if you don't. The guy argued with Curtis for a minute, but finally agreed to just pay for it and get an orange drink with it, like he told me. Then when I went back over there to take his money he threw it at me. Then when I handed him his drink he poured it out on the ground, and as I walked away he pulled the window open and threw the empty cup at me. Curtis flipped him off as he drove away. It doesn't bother me, in fact, I like it when the customers get angry, I think it's funny and it makes me happy. It was also fun because the whole time all this was going on I purposely put on my most annoying smirk to annoy him further. Well, almost time for bed. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/11/i-havent-written-in-few-days.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106973845854979032
I just heard a cool song lyric "Everybody's trying to be a friend of mine, even a dog can shake hands." For some reason I find that line to be really cool. I'm bored. No weight loss the last couple of days, still 269. I haven't been exercising as much the last couple of days again. Mainly just a bunch of walking. I have good willpower when it comes to the dieting, but I just hate exercising. I'm off tomorrow, so I'll probably do a bunch tomorrow. I'm finally seeing some improvements though. I'm up to 40 situps, and 20 pushups without stopping. If I rest for a minute I can do even more. I walked all the way around the lake this morning. I plan on going around twice tomorrow. Ugh, I have to fill out this damn Nielsen Ratings book now. I thought about filling it out all wrong, saying I watched things I would never watch, just to mess them up. And I don't want them to know my tv viewing habits, I'm paranoid enough as it is. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/11/i-just-heard-cool-song-lyric.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106944757371901865
The tale of the 47 faithful ronin of Ako, the condensed version. Taken from "Living the Martial Way" by Forrest E. Morgan. "What is the most beautiful thing on earth?" said Osiris to Horus. The reply was, "To avenge a parent's wrongs," -- to which a Japanese would have added, "and a master's." From Bushido: The Soul of Japan (Nitobe, 1899, p. 126) "We, the ronin serving Asano Takumi no Kami, this night will break into the mansion of Kira Kotzuke no Suke to avenge our master. Please be assured that we are neither robbers nor ruffians and no harm will befall the neighboring property." Placard the 47 ronin posted the night they avenged the death of their lord. (Allyn, 1970, p. 223) Eastern history provides many examples of warriors carrying out revenge and suicide for noble causes. None, however, is more celebrated or better illustrates one ideal of warrior honor than the true story of the 47 faithful ronin of Ako. The story provides a classic example of how giri (a sense of obligation or duty), loyalty, revenge, and suicide factor into the Japanese cultural interpretation of warrior honor. The episode involves a chain of events that began in Edo (now Tokyo) during the Tokugawa Shogunate. The year was 1701, a hundred years after Tokugawa Ieyasu had unified the country under his sword. His descendant, Tokugawa Tsunayoshi, now ruled the islands and ensured loyalty of the daimyo (warlords) by the institution of sankin kotai, or "alternate attendance." This law required all daimyo to maintain residences for their families in Edo and to spend every other year in the fuedal capital themselves. That way, the weak and paranoid bakufu (administrative bureaucracy) administrators could ensure loyalty of the still rugged, rural daimyo by holding their families hostage. Asano Takumi no Kami was one such daimyo. Lord of the rural province of Ako, Asano was still a warrior in the truest sense. Unfortunately, he was young and impetuous, and his crude, martial manner didn't set well with the genteel sycophants who cluttered the shogun's court. When one of them insulted him, Asano drew his sword and attacked.
Asano only managed to wound his enemy, Kira Kotzuke no Suke, but it was enough to cost him his life, for drawing a sword at court was a capital offense. For his lack of restraint, the shogun ordered Lord Asano to commit seppuku, ritual suicide by disembowelment. Asano was an obedient vassal, and he ended his life later that day. This suddenly left Asano's retainers, the samurai of Ako, with two problems. First, they were without their master and unemployed. This was a bad situation, for under Tokugawa rule Japan had been at peace for most of the hundred years prior, and ronin (masterless samurai) had little chance of finding work. But more seriously, since their master had been condemned for breaking the shogun's law, all his retainers were honor-bound to follow him in seppuku. Most of them were ready to do this, for they were men of honor. But when they learned of how their lord had been duped into his fate by his enemy, Lord Kira, they knew they couldn't end their lives before taking care of business. All samurai were trained in the Confucian principle, "a man should not live under the same heaven with the murderer of his leader-lord-father." Of course, seppuku would have taken them out from under the same heaven as Kira, but the ronin of Ako saw their giri in this situation as something more than merely to join their master in death. They concluded they had a solemn duty to avenge the death of their lord. This would be no easy mission. All of Edo suspected the ronin would attempt some sort of attack, and Kira was under the shogun's protection. The bakufu had spies everywhere. Kira, a rich man with powerful friends, had a large security force as well. So meeting in secret, the men of Ako decided to play out a ruse until they convinced the eyes and ears of Edo they weren't a threat and attention on them tapered off. For the next two years, the 47 ronin of Ako went their separate ways. To the loathing amazement of Edo society, the men didn't attempt any revenge, or even honor their fallen master in seppuku. They walked in disgrace, many taking up various non-warrior occupations. Some even left their families and became womanizers and drunks. In the eyes of the shogun, the other samurai, and even the commoners of Edo, these men had no honor and no face. It was all an act. By 1703 attention had shifted away from the degenerate ronin from Ako. So late one December night, the 47 faithful gathered one last time, then departed in a snowstorm for Kira's mansion. They caught the compound completely unprepared. In a surprise assault followed by a short skirmish, they killed Lord Kira and everyone in his household. Then, they took Kira's head, washed it in a nearby well, and placed it as an offering on Lord Asano's grave. That morning the 47 faithful ronin of Ako surrendered to bakufu authorities. Following fretful discussions with his councilors, the shogun sentenced them to death, but ruled that they would be permitted to perform seppuku and die as warriors rather than face execution as common criminals. Within days all 47 joined their lord and entered the annals of history as Japanese national heroes. The story of the 47 ronin provides a sterling example of warrior honor in its purest form. These men saw through the fog of law and recognized justice. They courageously fulfilled their obligations, knowing full well their actions would lead to their own destruction. Finally, these samurai bore no illusions about the difference between honor and face. They publicly humiliated themselves for two years, hoping to get that one chance to fulfill their giri. These were truly men of honor. On learning of their lord's fate, Asano's retainers understood their obligation immediately. They were prepared to end their lived as expected, but when they learned of Kira's role, they realized their giri was more ccomplicated. But the fact that they fulfilled their duty to avenge their lord didn't absolve them from the obligation to follow him in death. Nor did it reduce the gravity of what they had done; they too had broken the shogun's law. Therefore, they were obligated to die on that count as well. It was only because they had conducted themselves so honorably in avenging their lord that the shogun was compelled to let them die nobly instead of executing them as criminals. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/11/tale-of-47-faithful-ronin-of-ako.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106930935525171166
The good thing about this diet, is that when I do eat, everything tastes so good, like the best thing I've ever tasted. Man, I'm hungry. I'll probably be sore tomorrow. Since I couldn't walk much today, I made up for it by doing the longest, hardest work out of my life. I'm off tomorrow, I'll probably spend half the day exercising, like I did my last day off. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/11/good-thing-about-this-diet-is-that.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106922366986037250
Sad. No weight loss the last couple of days really. For some reason yesterday I was up three pounds overnight. I think it might just be water retention though, because the soup and stuff I've been eating has a lot of salt. Today I'm down two pounds from yesterday, but that means I'm still up a pound from where I was the other day. I couldn't really walk or run today, because the wind is so bad I could barely walk. It's blowing like 50 mph and we're in wind advisories and stuff. I still walked about two miles, and it was really hard, I could barely walk against the wind to get back to my car. I had planned or doing a lot mroe than that today too. I'm just going to have to do a bunch of exercise at home today. I don't really have that much to say right now, all I've been doing lately really is working and exercising and playing Dragonball Z: Budokai. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/11/sad.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106918278942872541
I'm tired and sore today, from all the exercise I got yesterday. But it was worth it, I've lost two more pounds. I'm down 7 pounds total, meaning I now weigh 272. I don't really have a target weight set, I'll just have to wait and see what I look and feel like at certain weights. I figure 225 will be a good target. That sounds kind of high, but I have big bones and a lot of muscle. According to those height/weight chart things, I should weigh 175, but I had my body fat percentage measured a few years ago, and the doctor told me that I have such big bones and so much muscle that my lean body mass alone was 175 pounds at that time, meaning that even if I had 0% body fat, which is impossible, I'd still probably be slightly overweight. I've gained some more muscle mass since that time too, so I figure 225 or so will probably be as low as I can get. I love my new jacket, it rules. And I really needed it today too. I went out and did some more walking and running this morning and it was only 45 degrees with a very heavy fog. The fog was so thick you could only see barely a block, and water was dripping off things. I'm so sore and tired I didn't do quite as much as I did yesterday, I only walked about two miles today, and jogged maybe 100 meters, probably not quite that much. I gotta get ready for work soon. I'm actually looking forward to work tonight, because I think tonight is the night I get to work the lobby instead of drive-thru, I hope it's tonight, it may be tomorrow. If so, I will be disappointed. I like working the lobby, mainly because I get tired of drive-thru all the time, and also because I can get the lobby done really quickly and usually get sent home really early. Also, even though the lobby has less work to do than drive through, the work that there is is better exercise, if you do it right. There's lots of lifting and moving chairs, and bending down and scrubbing bathroom walls and stuff like that. Well, gotta go. I'm gonna play Dragonball Z: Budokai some more before I go to work. I've been playing that a lot again the last few days. I'm addicted to it. Any time I'm not at work or exercising, I'm playing it. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/11/im-tired-and-sore-today-from-all.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106901511975008297
w00t! I'm in an amazing mood right now. I've been in a really good mood all day. I think this new medicine is finally starting to work. My mom talked to one of my aunts the other day, and she's a psychiatrist, and she said she'd had several patients on this stuff and it's really good, but it does take it a good month to really start working. Another reason I may be in a good mood and full of energy today is all the exercise I've been getting may be making me feel better. I've gotten a lot of exercise today. I did my usual workout, and then a few hours ago I went out the to lake and did a bunch of fast walking and running. I ran probably the farthest I've ever run in my life today. First I ran probably at least 100 meters, then I slowed down to a fast walk and walked at least two miles, then ran probably another 50 meters. Well, it wasn't really a full-speed run, but it was a fast jog/slow run. Either way it's the most I've ever run in my life. In spite of all the exercise, I'm full of energy right now, I feel like I could go run a mile. In fact, I've felt even better since I did all that walking and running. Later
I'm going to do a little more exercise, some more sit-ups and stuff. I should definitely be down at least a pound tomorrow. I went to Wal-Mart today, and bought some work-out clothes. I haven't been able to do as much walking and stuff as I wanted because the weather's been bad, and I don't have a coat that I can work out in, just my good leather jacket. So today I bought a pretty cool lightweight coat. It's really nice, it's made for being active in, it's waterproof, has a breathable liner, and a hood. I also bought some new sweatpants. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/11/w00t-im-in-amazing-mood-right-now.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106894773201105577

Cool, my search thing at the top has been about Japanese and Samurai stuff the last few days. Today it has three links for places to buy Samurai swords, and one link about "Miyamoto Musashi" Japan's greatest swordsman. Yesterday it also had some links to places to buy Japanese green tea. Mmm, green tea. I like green tea, I just bought some today, I ran out a few months ago and never had bought any more. I'm down another pound today, down to 274. But for some reason I feel and look (at least to me anyway) like I'm getting fatter. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/11/cool-my-search-thing-at-top-has-been.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106893281104018498
As the youngest son rushed in, the pillow fell squarely on his head, but the son cut it in half with his sword before it hit the floor. To the first, oldest son, Bokuden gave his sword, saying, "You are a great swordsman." To the second son, he said, "You will one day become a great swordsman, but you must yet train very hard." To the third, youngest son, he said, "You are a disgrace to this family, and are not qualified to even hold a sword." So saying, he took his youngest son's sword away from him and cast him out of the house. This story has been told to countless Karate students by their instructors, in one form or another, for as long as karate has existed. The reason is that it perfectly illustrates the essence of self defense -- because of their potential to deliver extreme impact force, karate techniques should be used only as a last resort against surprise attacks. What Bokuden's sons faced was a surprise attack, and the eldest son displayed the perfect defense -- he avoided the situation entirely. The more you increase your awareness of potentially dangerous situations, the more you decrease your vulnerability to being attacked. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/11/tsukahara-bokuden-one-of-japans.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106858307164070482
Oh damn, I'm going to be sore the next few days. I had a very hard workout tonight. I was talking to Chris online and was telling him about how I'd been working out and stuff, and he decided to "help" me. He's in the Navy, so he got all drill sergeant on me and was saying things like "I didn't say to give me an excuse, I said do it!" It was cool though, because he taught me the correct way to do the exercises, how to breathe and stuff, and it really did make them much easier. We made an agreement that when he comes home in June we will work out together, and he set a goal that I have to reach by the time he gets here. He wants me to be able to do 100 situps, which will be easy, at the moment I can do 30 to 40 easy, and when I was 13 I could do 150 easy. But he also wants me to be able to do 100 pushups, which is going to suck, right now I can only do 10 to 15 at once. The hardest part though, is he wants me to be able to run a mile and a half in 13 minutes. Right now I could run a mile and a half in maybe two days. I can only run about 100 feet at a time, and then I have to rest for like 15 minutes. He wants me to go out and do some walking, and get a start on the running, tomorrow morning, but I don't know if I will, I probably will. The weather's been really bad the last week though, but I think it's supposed to be warmer tomorrow anyway. I told him that I might not because of the weather, the last week it's been in the 30s and 40s and wet the last few days. He said, "I run, and I'm in Iceland, so don't talk to me about the weather." I just thought though, I don't have a coat to wear while I work out, the only coat I have is a $200 leather jacket. Well, I don't really have anything else to write about, my life has been pretty boring lately. There hasn't even been anything good or TV lately. I thought about going to see the new Matrix movie today, but I heard it sucks even more than the second one. A critic in the paper here gave it two stars, and said thank god it's the last movie of the series. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/11/oh-damn-im-going-to-be-sore-next-few.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106844314199940178
When the spiritual teacher and his disciples began their evening meditation, the cat who lived in the monastery made such noise that it distracted them. So the teacher ordered that the cat be tied up during the evening practice. Years later, when the teacher died, the cat continued to be tied up during the meditation session. And when the cat eventually died, another cat was brought to the monastery and tied up. Centuries later, learned descendants of the spiritual teacher wrote scholarly treatises about the religious significance of tying up a cat for meditation practice. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/11/when-spiritual-teacher-and-his.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106844223389234157
After ten years of apprenticeship, Tenno achieved the rank of Zen teacher. One rainy day, he went to visit the famous master Nan-in. When he walked in, the master greeted him with a question, "Did you leave your wooden clogs and umbrella on the porch?" "Yes," Tenno replied. "Tell me," the master continued, "did you place your umbrella to the left of your shoes, or to the right?" Tenno did not know the answer, and realized that he had not yet attained full awareness. So he became Nan-in's apprentice and studied under him for ten more years. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/11/after-ten-years-of-apprenticeship.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106827636526471921
Crystal got fired! HOORAY! Everyone's happy about it. Tonight at work sucked, it was really busy, even without the huge call in order.

I went to the doctor today for my one-month-of-Zoloft checkup. The Zoloft hasn't been doing anything, it hasn't since the first week. It worked really well for a few days, but now it's not doing anything. It's keeping me in a fairly good mood, but it's doing nothing for my social anxiety. Most of the side-effects have gone away too, but not all of them. For example, I'm still hot all the time. The last two nights at work were really bad, I was sweating like mad. I don't think I even sweat that much back when I used to mow lawns in the summer for money. Last night at work I was having to carry towels and stuff around to wipe my face with constantly. Anyway, I told the doctor all this, and instead of upping my dosage to see if that worked, he decided to have me try some other medication for a while. It's something new that just came out. I forget what it's called, and I don't have the bottle handy. It started with an "L," Lacoprex or something along those lines. The doctor doesn't know if it will work better than Zoloft or not. On the good side, it was free. He gave me six weeks worth of free samples. I start taking it tomorrow. I hope it works. This stuff says it works by increasing the amount of serotonin my brain produces, and that is has less and milder side effects than other antidepressants. I bought a new bonsai tree today, I hope this one lives longer than the last one. The last one died after about a year and a half. This one is cool, it's pretty big, a lot bigger than the last one, but it cost even less. I really like this one, it's a Norfolk Pine. The last one was a Ficus, I didn't really like it, I just got it because it was the cheapest. STOP TOUCHING MY ASS! I cleaned my room today, now it's all cleanified. Hooray for words that end in "-fied." All the dust just got stirred up though, and now everything's dusty again already. This house has always been really bad about dust for some reason. You can dust something, and fifteen minutes later there will be a layer of dust on it. That's probably why I've always bad allergies too. I'm tired. I'm gonna exercise and then go to bed. I've actually been exercising (a little) lately. My interest in Martial Arts has also come back. I swear, if I can ever lose some weight I WILL finally join a Karate class like I've been wanting to for years. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/11/i-went-to-doctor-today-for-my-one.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106801217677251633

Oh cool! It's not a rip-off, it really is them! You know those two stupid moose from that Disney movie, Brother Bear, that's coming out? Well I'd been saying all along that they sounded like a rip off of the Bob and Doug MacKenzie characters from SCTV, played by Rick Moranis and Dave Thomas. It turns out that's because that's who is actually doing the voices of those characters. Speaking of movies, I want to see that Cat in the Hat movie. When I first heard about it I thought it sounded stupid, but I've seen some commercials and previews for it, and it looks hilarious. It probably would suck if they hadn't gotten Mike Myers to be in it, he's great. Dammit, there hasn't been anything good on TV since the Buffy marathon went off. This stand up comedian woman on Comedy Central looks like a lesbian. I thought it was a guy at first. That reminds me of something I heard the other day, I forget where. Whatever it was, it said that guy's only like the sexy porno "lipstick lesbians," they don't like the ugly, truck driving real lesbians. Hey, it's Halloween, I should be listening to the Alice computer game soundtrack. That CD is great, it's full of extremely cool, creepy music. The game is pretty creepy too, almost scary.

So, Happy Halloween indeed. I'm bored as hell. It's Halloween, it's a Friday night, and I'm sitting at home alone. I'm so bored that I'm actually watching King of the Hill, and I hate that show. I've just been sitting at home all day, I haven't even left the house. FX was having a Buffy the Vampire Slayer marathon earlier, so I spent a few hours watching that. I've got a really bad headache now for some reason. Last night at work wasn't too bad, in fact it was kinda fun. Last night was Halloween for Purcell, because there's a big football game tonight, so we celebrated Halloween last night. I think that's incredibly stupid, but they've done that several times before. Work wasn't as busy as it usually is on Halloween, and it's was kinda fun, since most of the employees were in costume. I didn't wear a costume, I just told people I was the disgruntled employee that's going to kill everyone. Alicia was a Fairy Princess, or something like that, and Daniel was Drew Carey. He looked exactly like him, it was funny. I don't know what Stacy was, she didn't even know for sure, she was just wearing this really cool dress. She said it was supposed to be Goth looking, but they were out of black, so she bought a red one. She looked more like some kind of princess or something. She looked good, whatever she was. Stacy's cool, except every time I work with her I always get that damn "Stacy's Mom" song stuck in my head. I think I'm gonna go look at porn now. Hooray for porn. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/10/so-happy-halloween-indeed.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106764813997649465
Happy Halloween all you bastards and she-bastards. Here's some Halloween related news for you. Vampire Killing Kit Sells for $12,000 NEW YORK (AP) - Just in time for Halloween, a vampire-killing kit complete with a wooden stake and 10 silver bullets sold for $12,000 at auction Thursday.
The kit, a walnut box that also contained a crucifix, a pistol, a rosary and vessels for garlic powder and various serums, was bought by an anonymous phone bidder. According to Sotheby's, some experts believe that such kits were commonly available to travelers in Eastern Europe in the 18th and 19th centuries, while others think the kits were made in the early 20th century, possibly to cash in on interest in vampires sparked by the 1897 publication of Bram Stoker's "Dracula." Elaine Whitmire, head of 19th century furniture for Sotheby's, said she believes the kit was assembled in the early 20th century and sold to travelers as a souvenir. "My opinion is this is a memento that you bought while you were in Europe," she said. "I doubt it was cheap to buy." A label on the kit says: "This box contains the items considered necessary for persons who travel into certain little known countries of Eastern Europe where the populace are plagued with a particular manifestation of evil known as Vampires." The vampire killing kit was part of Sotheby's sale of 19th century furniture and decorative works of art. The auction house did not identify the seller of the kit. The price includes Sotheby's auction house's commission. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/10/happy-halloween-all-you-bastards-and.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106764603281009122
MIAMI (Reuters) - Tall people earn considerably more money throughout their lives than their shorter co-workers, with each inch adding about $789 a year in pay, according to a new study. http://money.cnn.com/2003/10/17/news/funny/big_money.reut/index.htm IS YOUR CAR SPYING ON YOU? By David Coursey TELEMATICS: A little computer in your car keeps track of how fast you drive, how well you brake, even if you wear a seat belt. Invasion of privacy? Or reasonable safety precaution? Here's what I think. http://reviews-zdnet.com.com/AnchorDesk/4520-7296_16-5098423.html?tag=adss WTC Death Toll Drops by 40. (Oct. 29) -- The sun inched across a cloudless sky yesterday, the breath of October rustled trees, and the number of people killed in the World Trade Center disaster dropped by 40. Just like that: 40 fewer souls to imagine rising from the dust; 40 fewer people to include in nightly prayers. Until now, the number of dead was 2,792. That number, 2,792, had stood firm for more than a year. It was the number recorded in almanacs and history books. It was the number of the names of trade center victims that children uttered at the second-anniversary ceremony, there on the lip of ground zero. Now strike that number from your mind. Replace it with 2,752. After what officials call an exhaustive investigation that spanned the world, the city has removed more names from the official tally. The reasons are the same as in the past: finding people once thought dead; duplication; insufficient data; fraud. In many cases, investigators could not prove a supposed victim had ever existed a jarring concept, given that some names are embedded in the collective memory. Remember Paul Vanvelzer and his two sons, Barrett, 4, and Edward, an infant who was once thought to be the disaster's youngest victim? It seems now that the Vanvelzers, reported missing by a California woman claiming to be a relative, may have died without ever having lived. But what do we do with this information this 2,752, down from 2,792? Do we grieve less? Are we happy? What does it mean? "The question is, does it make it any less tragic?" said Jonathan Greenspun, the commissioner of the Mayor's Community Assistance Unit. "The answer is, no, it doesn't." The change in the number is more than a mere adjustment in a dispassionate tally. It reflects the singular horror of the trade center collapse, so thorough in its destruction that the exact number of victims remains elusive more than two years later. It reflects the worst in human nature: that many people, seeing opportunity in disaster, reported fictitious deaths in hopes of collecting benefits. But it also reflects the best, city officials say, as personified by investigators so intent on determining the true and sacred number of the dead that they properly took their time, even if it meant that a few fraudulent names, or the names of the living, were sprinkled among those of the many dead. Better that, they reasoned, than to exclude the name of one true victim. More than a few of these 40 cases centered on missing persons' reports filed by people who lived overseas. Bryan X. Grimaldi, the general counsel for the New York City Commission for the United Nations, offered an example of the nettlesome problems faced by investigators: a woman in Nigeria does not hear from her son in the United States for five years; she learns of the Sept. 11 attacks and reports him missing; then investigators cannot
find the woman. "What do you do?" Mr. Grimaldi asked. "What do you do with the name?" Perhaps in another case, in another tragedy, the matter would have been dropped. But in the case of Sept. 11, Mr. Grimaldi said, "we have really exhausted all efforts, and by extraordinary means." "We took it as far as we could go," he added. The mission to specify the number of victims has been a necessary one: partly for history, partly for the distribution of death benefits and partly to satisfy a communal desire for a number whose exactness might bring some comprehension to the incomprehensible. But that number, and whatever finality it would bring, has been elusive. In the first days after the terrorist attack, the city estimated that more than 6,300 people had been killed. That number quickly dropped, sometimes by the hundreds, as officials winnowed out duplications and false reports. In acknowledgment of the matter's importance, the city created a task force called the Reported Missing Committee, which included representatives from several city agencies, including the Police Department, the medical examiner's office and the city's Commission for the United Nations. All the while, the intense emotion attached to numbers was palpable. Chief Charles V. Campisi, head of the Police Department's Internal Affairs Bureau, once predicted, "I think it will be less than 5,000, but only by the grace of God." And Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani once dismissed efforts by reporters to determine an exact number as a "macabre" endeavor. The number kept dropping to about 4,500, and then to about 3,900. Along the way the Sept. 11 attacks lost the awful distinction of being the deadliest day in American history. That was reserved for the Battle of Antietam, at which at least 3,650 Civil War soldiers were killed and thousands more wounded on a single day. Down to 3,300, and then, by the first anniversary, to 2,801. Soon the number dropped again, to 2,792, where it remained until this week. The city will retain its records on the 40 names dropped from the list, just in case new evidence develops. But with only three more open cases, officials think that they are close to determining a final number of trade center dead somewhere, it seems, between 2,749 and 2,752. How should that make us feel? The fewer the better, perhaps; the fewer the better. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/10/several-interesting-news-stories-today.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106745181563891478
This weather we've been having lately makes me angry. It's the end of October and the average temperature is still in the 80s. The last few days it's been in the 90s. It's been dry too, there's hardly been any rain this month, they were saying on the news yesterday that this October has had records highs, and has almost set new records for such a low amount of rain. I hate it. I like the cold, and I like the rain. Luckily, this is supposed to be the last warm day for about a week. There's a front coming through late tonight, and the next week or so the temperatures are supposed to be in the 50s and 60s, and there's a chance of rain a couple of the days. I don't know if it's supposed to warm back up afterwards, or if maybe now it's gonna finally start being cold weather for the rest of the year. Other good news: Tomorrow is "fall back," when we set the clocks back an hour, and get and extra hour of sleep, or, as is more often the case with me, an extra hour of staying up late. I like fall back, I hate spring forward. Stupid news: Our town is celebrating Halloween on Thursday the 30th, instead of actual Halloween, meaning all the trick or treating and stuff is to be done the 30th. They've done this a couple of times before, I think it's really stupid. This year they are doing it because the big Purcell vs. Lexington rivalry football game is on the 31st this year. I already requested the 31st off, but it doesn't matter to me, because I don't have any Halloween plans, and I certainly wasn't going trick or treating. I just requested it off because I didn't want to work that night because I like watching all the Halloween TV specials, and because it's going to be really busy that night. This is good news for the people that do have to work that night, because maybe now it won't be quite as outrageously busy. We figured it would be busy because of people out going to the game, and because it's Friday, and it's always busy Fridays because of a stupid burger sale we have on Fridays, and also because it's always busy on Halloween when all the kids and people are out. This means it will probably be busy Thursday night though, but I might get lucky and not have to work that night either, since I'm usually off on Thursdays. Wow, this is the longest post I've written in a long time. Also, my hit counter looks like it will hit the 4000 mark today. That's pretty good, 4000 hits in only a year and one month. Especially when you consider how long it took me to hit the 1000 mark. I'm listening to the Dirty Vegas CD. I love this "Days Go By" song, even though it's a slightly different mix from the one they played on the radio and TV. It's much longer, over 7 minutes long. The rest of the album is pretty cool too. It really brings back memories, it sounds like electronic music used to sound, back in the early 90s. In fact, it sounds a lot like Daft Punk's first album, which was the first electronic/techno/dance album I ever bought. You are still a whisper on my lips A feeling at my fingertips That's pulling at my skin You leave me when I'm at my worst Like a feeling as if I've been cursed From the bitter cold within Days go by and still I think of you Days when I couldn't live my life without you Without you posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/10/this-weather-weve-been-having-lately.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106702226146535825

Oh man, I had fun last night. Me and Alicia went to see School of Rock. The movie was great, absolutely hilarious, it was even better than I expected. We saw Megan and Shawn there too, and they sat with us. After the movie, me and Alicia went to Denny's to eat. Alicia kept dancing in the car. It made us both think of that cool car commercial with that "Days go By" song by Dirty Vegas. It was fun. I'm off today too. Don't know what I'll do today. Probably stay home and play Budokai all day. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/10/oh-man-i-had-fun-last-night.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106654142493022984
This is hilarious. From http://www.coffeesweats.blogspot.com. Tim and Greta were true lovers. Soulmates, even. They spent hours in bed together curled up into a ball of heat and love, shifting and moving as if they were one. Tim would spend hours licking Greta in her favorite erogenous zones and soothing down her nappy brown hair with such tenderness. Greta often stroked Tim until he reached the point of release and then stop, because she was a big tease. Tim was a masochist so he didn't mind. Sometimes he would go for runs that lasted hours and collapse into Greta's arms exhausted and she would kiss his sweaty forehead until he fell asleep. After one orgiastic and lustful love making session in the wee hours of the morning, Greta found herself pregnant. Damn, she thought, as the changes began inside her body, cursing out Tim for not using protection or pulling out like they had planned. Several months later Greta gave birth to seven babies, all pink and lovely and perfect. And then she ate them all, one by one. Tim watched with disgust and wrinkled up his fuzzy face and wished that this glass wall would crumble away so he could be a free Guinea pig once and for all, for his love for Greta was dashed forever. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/10/this-is-hilarious.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106645460507078894
Cool, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is on TV. I love that movie, but I don't feel like watching it right now. I'm feeling much better today. Still a little congested, but that's it. But now Alicia's sick. Again. She was just sick a week or so ago. She stayed home from school today she was so sick. I hope she gets better soon, and NOT just because I want to go to the movies Thursday. I'm gonna go watch a movie or something now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/10/i-went-to-best-buy-today-because-they.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106609209295146370

Well, I guess it's a good thing that Alicia isn't able to go to the movies tonight, because I don't think I would be able to go. I feel like shit right now. My throat isn't sore any more today, but I'm congested and I can barely stay awake and I've got a headache, and maybe a fever, because I'm freezing right now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/10/well-i-guess-its-good-thing-that.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106573825628916649
Coke sign goes interactive Huge new London billboard reacts to the weather and onlookers on the ground. Text messaging is next. September 30, 2003: 9:50 AM EDT LONDON Reuters) - Coca-Cola unveiled one of the world's biggest and most sophisticated billboards Tuesday -- a 99-foot-wide neon colossus that can respond to the weather and interact with people looking at it from the ground. The billboard was switched on in Piccadilly Circus in the heart of London at dawn Tuesday, lighting up with the message "Hello London" in the company's trademark red and white. It's the biggest billboard in Britain and the widest in the world, beating even the monster Coca-Cola sign that reigns over Tokyo's Ginza shopping district, and is three times bigger than the previous Coke sign on the same site. "This is an intelligent sign, with state-of-the-art computer technology, built-in cameras and an on-board heat sensitive weather station," Coca-Cola Co. said. The sign can respond to weather and movement. "When it's raining, big drops will appear on the screen and when it's breezy, the Coke sign can ripple as if it's being blown by the wind," a Coke spokeswoman said. It also will be able to recognize if people are waving at it from the ground below and, eventually, will be able to respond to text messages from mobile phones, she said. Coca-Cola has had a billboard at Piccadilly Circus, the advertising heart of London, since 1954. The lights in the circus have been switched off only five times since then, including in 1974 when a miners' strike triggered electricity shortages and in 1997 for the funeral of Princess Diana. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/10/coke-sign-goes-interactive-huge-new.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106572235221235144
Well, Arnold Schwartzenegger, or however the fuck it's spelled, is governor of California. I'm still not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. On a completely unrelated note, check this out, it's funny as hell. http://www.postroad.com/iconsex.html.
Here's something I wrote once, I just found it, I had forgotten about it. It's pretty cool. I never finished it. It was going to be some sort of long philosophical treatise in the form of a story. I don't really remember where I was going to go with it next. Say something, you bastard! she yelled. Say something you insufferable bastard! Why wont you say something, damn it? Little did she know, she was the only person in the story. Huh? What do you mean? Theres Jim. Hey, wait. Whered he go? What did you do with Jim, damn it? Calm down. There never was any Jim. Those are simply the memories of the character you are playing in this story. You have memories of the experiences of a whole life you never led. In reality, this story, and, in fact, you, only came into existance about two minutes ago. Nothing you remember ever actually happened, unless I write a flashback scene in which it does happen. But... Shhh...I know what you are going to say, before you even say it, because I am the one writing your dialouge. You say what I make you say, and do what I make you do. Dont beleive me? Watch this. Duh, she said, and stuck her finger up her nose. And tell me, what is your name? You see, you dont even have a name, because I have not given you one yet. I have referred to you simply as she. I will now give you a name. Your name is Sally. A new flood of memories has just entered your head. Memories involving your new name. Such as the time you looked up your name to see what it meant. All the times your lover said your name. He never existed either, until just now. And now, if I wanted, I could go back and change your name, and all your memories would change too. But I am Sally! she protested. I remember it, I know it! You know it because I wrote it. Who are you talking to anyway? I have never given myself a body, I have not put myself in your story. I am simply a voice. A voice in your head, a voice from the heavens. The voice of your creator, the voice of your God. And look around you, what do you see? Nothing. I have not described the location yet, or even have one in mind. You are simply standing in a void. Black words on a white page. Lets change that, shall we? Sally was a young girl. She would proudly tell you that she had just turned ten. Sally liked doing all kinds of things, playing with puppies and dolls, and watching cartoons on tv. She also liked to read, and liked to think of herself as a smart girl. But now, as she sat at her desk in class, she was learning that she in fact knew nothing. The classroom was an average classroom, desks for the students, and the teachers big desk at the front of the class. There were a few educational posters on the walls and a big, green chalkboard at the front. Standing between the desk and the chalkboard stood the teacher. A man who appeared to be in his 50s with gray hair and wearing a tweed suit. There, he said. I have given you a location. I have also written myself into the story at last, giving you something to focus upon. I have also changed everything about you. Your age, your appearance, and even your personality. Actually I didnt change your personality much, you never had one to begin with, I had not developed your personality much. I never specified any appearance or age either, all anyone had to go on for age was the way you acted and talked, but you seemed to be an adult. I am an adult! Sally exclaimed. Or, I thought I was... Now youre starting to get the point, the teacher said. Now, lets begin your education in earnest, shall we?" posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/10/heres-something-i-wrote-once-i-just.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106550666068237445
This is funny: MARRIAGE TEST Reply to: --------------@craigslist.org Date: 2003-10-06, 2:36PM I was happy. My girlfriend and I had been dating for over a year, and so we decided to get married. My parents helped us in every way, my friends encouraged me, and my girlfriend? She was a dream! There was only one thing bothering me, very much indeed, and that one thing was her younger sister. My prospective sister-in-law was twenty years of age, wore tight mini skirts and low cut blouses. She would regularly bend down when quite near me and I got many a pleasant view of her underwear. It had to be deliberate. She never did it when she was near anyone else. One day little sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived. She whispered to me thatsoon I was to be married, and she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome and didn't really want to overcome. She told me that she wanted to make love to me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister. I was in total shock and couldn't say a word. She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want to go ahead with it, just come up and get me." I
was stunned. I was frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. When she reached the top she pulled down her panties and threw them down the stairs at me. I stood there for a moment, then turned and went straight to the front door. I opened the door and stepped out of the house. I walked straight towards my car. My future father-in-law was standing outside. With tears in his eyes he hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family." The moral of this story is: always keep your condoms in your car. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/10/this-is-funny-marriage-test-reply-to.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106550613183512508
Wow, great day today! The Zoloft didn't have any bad side effects today, and it was actually working today. I felt great tonight! Really happy and good. Daniel said he could tell that it must be working because I was actually smiling when I was talking, and that he'd hardly ever seen me smile except when I was drunk. It also made me hyper today. Well, that's really all I have to say today. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/10/wow-great-day-today-zoloft-didnt-have.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106541882343750389
This is almost as weird as that "Redeyes" story. This is written by the same guy, from http://www.diepunyhumans.com. I Had To Kill The Pig I had to kill the pig. It was a GM Vietnamese potbellied pig that some freak had meatfitted with a voicebox and the frontal lobe of a grown-up crack baby. It scuttled across the carpet on fat little legs, firing hideous acidic turds out of its fortified arse like it was Satan's vending machine. I loaded the harpoon gun I'd borrowed from Sunil. There are a few parts of the world where you can legally hunt humans who have gone aquatic, and Sunil owed sexual favours to all of them. The pig turned, rasping "Fuckpig! Fuckpig! Fuckpig!" I'd not yet worked out whether he was talking to me or telling me his name, but it seemed to be the only word he knew. I'd been listening to it for two weeks. Two. Weeks. The harpoon locked down into the receiver chamber, and the air compressor hissed, charging the gun. I hefted the gun and took aim as the bastard dropped another shit on the carpet, burning another hole in it. "This is it, you disgusting fucking object. Melissa left me with a disease so unusual and horrible it does not have a name, a weird Japanese doll that sucks out its own urine, and you. I've had my urethra irradiated, I listened to the doll scream as I shoved it into a wood chipper, and now there's only you left. The pet pig." "Fuckpig!" The compressor stopped hissing. The gun's chip crooned to me, for no good reason, in the synthesised voice of Peter O'Toole: "You may kill things now, young man." I threw the receiver lock to open the barrel and fired at the pig's smoking anus. Of course I bloody missed. The pig hurled itself to one side like it was an action movie hero, rolling and coming up poised and ready on its foul black trotters. The harpoon thudded into one of my speakers. I fumbled another one into the chamber and slammed down the receiver lock, hoping there was enough push left in the compressor for another shot at the little crapmachine. I waved the harpoon gun at it. You couldn't see its eyes; they were dark wet slits surrounded by great folds and swells of warty pigflab. But you knew it was scheming. I edged between it and the clear run through my long thin apartment to the front door. I had it pinned here in the back bedroom. Nowhere to run.
It feinted to my left like Ali, with a rasped "Fuckpig!" I pretended to follow the feint, and then snapped the gun back as it launched itself for the opening it expected between my right and the doorjamb. It realised I had it and pissed itself in mid-air, an evil green sprinkler. Twisted its immense gut around to carom off the wall. I kept a bead on it as it bounced off my bed - realised too late that it was aimed for the window. Fuckpig! and it hurled itself through the window. I ran to the sill, trying to keep my hands away from all the broken glass. The pig had launched itself with some force, I gave it that. There was a chance it could reach the shopfront awning on the other side of my narrow market street. The odds were better that it'd miss and splatter. But I don't like gambling, really, and this was a personal thing. I put a harpoon through the bastard pig from arsehole to breakfast-time, skewering it in mid-air. It dropped down into the market, landing on a fruit stand. Its guts let go and the awful flow dissolved all the apples. There was a storm of swearing in Croatian, and then the retching started. And, you know, this is as good as the next month or so got. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/10/this-is-almost-as-weird-as-that.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106541790565705124

Dammit! My Mozilla browser keeps messing up lately, and shutting down when I'm in the middle of writing a post, and then I have to write it over again! For some reason it only does it when I am also looking at links on Dave Barry's site, in order to put some of the best ones here. That's where I've been getting most of my links lately, all the bizzare news stories and stuff. Well, anyway, time to rewrite the post. I'm barely gonna have time now before I have to get
ready for work. I don't think I'll put the links up, I don't feel like doing all that again. Zoloft Day Two: Woof. It's probably just a placebo effect or something, but I started feeling good just a few hours after taking my first pill yesterday. I still feel good today. The prison called this morning. They're not hiring me this time either. Fuckers. Maybe Best Buy will hire me. Alicia applied there the other day too. That would be cool if we both got hired there, that would be kinda weird. We both leave Carl's for Best Buy. Matchstick Men was cool. It was better than I figured it would be. It looked like it would be cool, but I didn't figure it would be that great, just good. But it was really cool. There's a big twist at the end, but that's all I'm gonna say. Hooray for Alicia. I love going to the movies with Alicia. Alicia rocks. I have to work tonight. I hate Fridays, they're always really busy. Unless it's really busy, though, I wont have much to do tonight, because I'm training Sarah in drive-thru. That means that all I have to do is tell her what to do, and then stand around and make sure she does it right. But it will likely be really busy tonight, so I'll probably have to do some work tonight anyway. But since I'm kind of an extra person tonight, if it's not extremely busy I'll probably get sent home early after all the drive-thru stuff is done. Well, that's all I have to write about today. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/10/dammit-my-mozilla-browser-keeps.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106520986354772355

This is funny, from http://www.coffeesweats.blogspot.com/. I like her blog, it's funny, and sometimes has lesbian stories. She's funny, you should go check it out. While driving to work this morning I had another fantasy about what I should be doing with my life, only this time it doesn't involve driving a cab or such nonsense. This is a good one. Seriously. Okay, let's say Im walking down the street, right? And then some recruiter from some super secret spy agency comes over and says "You. You are the one." Yeah, me. So okay, I hear the shizzle about the plan Stan and it's all about me being a spy in Europe and shit, right? Shut up, this could happen. I look very European, particularly French, I could totally pass as a local over there, and actually have, except my four years of high school French didn't help much with my sentences or anything, but Im getting to that. So, spy dude takes me under his wing and I am sequestered for a year, learning fluent French, Spanish, Italian, and whatnot, and also I get schooled in some kick ass martial arts and get this rock hard body, instead of my bony somewhat muscular present body, and voila! A spy. With cool weapons strapped to my upper thighs with garter belts. And I'd wear a lot of black clothes and look tres chic, non? Oui. And then I would be all charming with the bad people and have to kick their asses and stuff when they found me out. Yeah. Hmm, thinking about this now, it sounds so familiar, like it's a movie or a tv show. Do you think? Huh. Sounded cool, anyway. Maybe I could just get a motorcycle and a broken in leather jacket and slick my hair back and wear white t-shirts all the time and live over Mr. and Mrs. C's garage and date lots of chicks. That would be cool, too. Or maybe I could be the tiny sidekick to Retardo Montleban on some funky island where fantasies come true and wear a little white outfit all the time, only mine would have lots of stains on it. Or maybe I could live on a street where puppets talk and shit. That would scare the fuck out of me. Fucking talking puppets? Shit, Im scaring myself right now. Nah, spy that's what I should be.
I also thought this was really funny, also from her page. Mmm coffee from five hours ago.

Oh, I forgot to mention something in my last post. I've finally decided that I am going to go to the doctor and get some Zoloft for my social anxiety thing. I'm going to try it, at least for a while. I keep forgetting to make an appointment though. I meant to call the other day, so maybe I could've gotten an appointment for today, since I was off work. I was hoping to be on the medication before I had to go in for my job interview Thursday, so I wouldn't be so nervous, and maybe I'd make a better impression. I never did call though, so I was going to call today, and try to get an appointment for Thursday, since I'm off work that day too, but I forgot again. I'll try to remember to call in the morning. I want to get an appointment set up as soon as possible. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/oh-i-forgot-to-mention-something-in-my.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106489709485531935
My Chatterbox is developing quite an interesting cast of characters. Richard Simmons, Tinky Winky, the Hamster. I should let one of them write a guest post on my blog or something. Last night at work I discovered a very interesting dollar bill in my drawer. Around the edge of the front of the bill someone has written, "Janet Cartwrigt is fucking whore ass bitch!" Whoever did this has terrible spelling and grammar. On the back of the bill, right across the middle, is, "Janet is a bitch!" Possibly the most interesting thing about these messages is that, judging by the handwriting, I'd say this was probably written by a girl, and not an ex-boyfriend or something. The handwriting looks very girly, there's like loops on the J's and G's and B's. I'm going to scan the bill in. I probably won't post it here, at least not yet, but I am going to submit it to http://www.bangedup.com, they may put it up on their site. This is really weird: Today I went to http://www.christiestoybox.com/ to get a couple of new porno magazines, and there was this one three-pack of magazines that came with a free pair of panties. They weren't supposedly used by the models or anything, they were new panties. White panties with little red hearts on them. They were wrapped around the magazines and the whole thing was wrapped in plastic, as porno magazines usually are. This seemed very strange to me. I guess some guys just want a pair of panties laying around the house, or maybe the guy's a crossdresser and wants to wear them. Or maybe they think if they give them to their girlfriends or wives they wont mind them buying the porn. I don't know. The magazines they were packaged with weren't any kind of weird fetish magazine or anything, it was just a straightforward sex mag. And no, I didn't buy them. I did buy a couple of magazines, but they didn't come with free panties or anything like that. Today's been a pretty boring day. It's also gone by really quick. I had to get up early today because I had to drive all the way down to USAO in Chickasha to get a copy of my college transcript for my prison guard job interview. At least it was cold and rainy today, that made driving all that way cool. Then I came home and filled out my applications for the job thing, and then I went to the city and went to Christie's Toybox, as stated previously. I hardly got any sleep last night, so I'm really tired today. I only slept about 4 and a half hours. It was some time after 4:00 in the morning before I went to sleep, and then I got up at 9:00 I got an email today saying that the poster I ordered had finally shipped. About a week after I ordered it. It shoulda been here by now, according to the website. They say they usually ship within 24 hours, and delivery time takes from five to seven days, I think it was. I just saw the stupidest commercial on TV. I thought it was a joke at first, but it wasn't. Mattel just commited suicide. They are now attempting to sell "Secret Spells Barbie." Basically it was Wicca Barbie. This woman says "In a secret location, on a secret night, three girls get together to create secret spells. Spells for luck, for money, and even love." And there's these dolls of Barbie and her friends and they're wearing gowns and stuff, and they come with little cauldrons and everything. They are going to get boycotted for sure for this. Here's a link Chris sent me earlier: http://www.prawnography.net/ Funny site, but some of the animated graphics are messed up. I want a copy of this video game, it's http://www.retrocrush.com/archive2/chiller/index.html, the most senselessly violent and bloody game ever made. And it was made back in 1986. This article comes from http://www.retrocrush.com, which is a pretty cool website. http://www.nudeanon.com/parts/index.shtml "It's really a pretty simple idea... You want to take nude pics of your girlfriend/wife/whatever, but she's afraid "someone we know will see it on the web." She's right. That's why you should make it anonymous. Just take the picture from the neck down, or have her wear a mask, you get the idea..." http://www.skins.be/ This is a great site that I've been spending a lot of time at lately. Lots of really hot pictures. They also have nude pictures. Mmmm, naked photos of Carmen Electra. Well, I was done, but Melissa just sent me this: http://www.tfn.net/~petrkub/sublime.html This is cool, I wish they had more pictures up. Ok, I'm tired. I've been working on this post for over four hours because I kept stopping to look at all these web pages. And so now I leave you with a quote. "I went to confession the other day. I said, 'You first.'" -- Dennis Miller posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/my-chatterbox-is-developing-quite.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106489617281438360
If you donate $2 to http://www.flooble.com they put a link to your site up on their site. They show five at a time, and your link will be up there until it is pushed off the list by new links. Which can take some time apparently, because the same five links have been up there since I found out about Flooble a couple of weeks ago. This makes it a very cheap advertisment for your site, which has the potential to be seen by lots of people. So today I donated $2. The guy who reviews the links is really quick at his job, because just about 15 minutes later I got this e-mail: "Thanks for the donation - I added your link. (Your site name proved a bit too long for the sidebar, so I used your name instead - if you prefer some shorter version of your site's name, let me know)" He then went on to say this: "I also noticed in your chatterbox that you did not approve of the way avatar posts are being designated. Would it be helpful if you were able to pick the way in which they are?" Who says bitching and whining never accomplished anything? posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/if-you-donate-2-to-flooble-they-put.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106488021588485635
FUCK! I'd been working on this post for over two hours, and then my browser fucked up and quit, and I lost my post and the 6 other windows I had open to various websites that I was researching to create this post! Now I'm going to have to do it all over again! Ok, here we go. There's lots of links and stories tonight. Last night at work we were really slow. Until about 8:30, that is, when about 30 people suddenly came in. They had all been to some game or something. All the people were standing around in the lobby, waiting in line to have their orders taken, and I got an order in drive-thru for a cup of coffee. The coffee pot is also in the lobby, so I had to go out and make my way through all the people to get to it. As I was walking by this teenage girl, this boy, probably about 14 or so, who was also walking by her on the other side, hit her on the ass with his empty cup. You know that trick where you tap someone on the shoulder, but you tap the other shoulder, so they look the wrong way? He did something like that, he was on her right side, but he hit her left ass cheek, so she looked to the left, where I was, with a coffee cup. I thought I was gonna get slapped or something, but she didn't say or do anything. She just looked at me for a second. I don't know if she figured out what happened, or what. I was downloading some internet porn last night, and when I played one of the little videos, I found that the girl featured in the video looks exactly like my cousin. It looks so much like her it could be her, when she speaks it even sounds kind of like her. I hope it isn't her, that would be gross. I deleted the video just to be safe. Here's a poster I ordered the other day from http://www.allposters.com. http://imagecache2.allposters.com/images/149/3060.jpg. This poster combines two of my favorite things, Pink Floyd, and the female body. Those are all Pink Floyd album covers painted on their backs. I like the redhead with the Wish You Were Here album cover on her back. I ordered this thing about a week ago, and, despite the web site's claims that they ship within 24 hours, they still haven't even shipped it out yet. Here are some interesting articles I've found on some very good blogs recently. http://www.ryan-mcgee.com/blog/ writes about relationships: "Ryan, what if I can't tell if we're really flirting or just faux flirting?" If you're at wit's end on how to tell the two types of flirting apart, you can always interrupt him mid-flirt and say, "Look, either lick me right now or let's put this crap behind us." Licking is an underrated solution to most problems. "What are the top 5 signs we have gone from simply platonic to perhaps tongue-wrestling compatriots?" Right, the incredibly awkward, difficult-to-navigate middle ground between friendship and lust buddies. It's a bit like playing chicken, only in this case, you only wish you were moments from a fiery death. He develops a sudden interest that you two previously did not share. (And no, he doesn't really like it. That's a teen romantic comedy movie myth. He under no circumstances likes the Lifetime Network.) "Why do girls like taken men?" Women want guys who are taken for two reasons. One, most women can't stand to see another woman happy. Plain and simple. I can't figure it out, but there you have it. Women who are lucky enough to find a good guy protect them like gold in Ft. Knox. In my dating days, I knew when I would be going to place that had hot women before I even got there, because my girlfriend would suddenly wear a smoking outfit. She was establishing territory. 2,000 years ago, she would have flat out peed on me before we left. Evolution has only changed the methods, not the rules http://www.tonypierce.com/blog/bloggy.htm gives advice on how to win with a blog. heres how to win when you blog: blog. write all the time. i say write every day. i actually say write many times a day, but write. write when youre bored, write when youre inspired, write when youre tired, write after you 69ed a girl for a half hour and then flipped over and banged for a half hour more. write about not getting any, write about getting more that you deserve, write about sports, write about politics, write about your car, your cat, your dog, the shit between your toes, write about the shit between your toes that smells like your dog. snipers will take their dumb little shots, but thats when you know youve made it. another way to know is if you see your name on blogger.com as a blog of note, but beware because that will just ring the comeandgetit bell for all the losers to come and get jealous. which can become tiresome. From http://www.thesneeze.com (A hilarious blog, this guy kinda reminds me of http://www.davebarry.blogspot.com) Tepid Girl on Girl Action Late the other night I was flicking around the cable dial looking for a good documentary or foreign film, so of course I went straight to Cinemax. But wouldn't you know it, they were right in the middle of a lesbian sex scene. Darn the luck! Normally this would be swell news, but I couldn't help noticing that the two girls in the scene looked like they really didn't want to be there. Everything they were doing was tentative and forced. They seemed kind of sad, like they were almost about to cry, and it gave a degrading air to the entire thing that made me feel gross. It just seemed so wrong. Wrong because I pay good money for Cinemax! C'mon girls, who wants to see half-assed lesbians? Dont get me wrong, I watched the rest of the movie, but what has happened to the work ethic in this country? What happened to taking pride in your craft? Whether you're about to do some girl on camera, or you're about to weld a backseat into a Ford Taurus, or you're trying to find the gene that causes male pattern baldness (by the way, step up the pace on that one) you owe it to your country and yourself to give it 110% So to all of you reading this who are just now about to do a cheap lesbian sex scene to pay your rent: You march right in there and you lick that girl like you
mean it, or at the very least pretend to. If that's not your cup of tea, then how about a good ol' fashioned nipplefight? Okay, I don't even know what that is, but I'm pretty sure I'd love it. Nipplefight. It sounds really cool. If you get the chance to throw it around in casual conversation, or during your next meeting at work, I'd appreciate it. Maybe something like "If we get audited this year, the gals in accounting are in for a real nipplefight." I'd really like to see it catch on, so at least something good can come from all of this. USA #1! Here are some more links, besides the ones above: http://makeoutcity.com/ A cool blog with loads of content, and many, many links to other blogs. http://strangewayshereicome.blogspot.com/ Another interesting blog.

Complicated pieces of machinery with dildos strapped to them. You have to join to see full-size pictures of most of the good porn, but you can still see some good-sized thumbnails. The most interesting part though (for me, anyway) are the pictures and descriptions of the various machines. Gives complex technical data, such as depth of stroke and strokes per minute. http://www.fleshlight.com/main/ The #1 Best Selling Masturbation Adult SexToy. This is a pretty weird sex toy.

Wow, my Blog's had 45 hits since yesterday. It hasn't been getting as many hits the last week or two. I shouldn't get excited though, most of the hits are probably from those freaks down there on my Chatterbox. Me and Alicia are going to go see Underworld later. It's gonna be cool. I just got a haircut, and they didn't shave the back of my neck very well, so it's all prickly now, and irritating. Today is my sister's birthday. She's 13 now. She's a teenager. Why do I feel a vague sense of dread about that? I didn't get her anything. Not yet anyway. I don't know what to get her. Why am I suddenly obsessed with the song Sister Christian? I downloaded it last night, and I've listened to it five times already today. The only reason I've ever even heard of that song is because it's one of the songs that plays on the radio when you're driving around in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.

There's a story in the Daily Oklahoman today about all the things Oklahomans have invented. I've heard many of these before, but they claim an Oklahoma invented the personal computer, I've never heard of that before, and I don't know if I believe it. Anyway, here are some highlights from the article. More than 18,000 patents have been awarded to Oklahoma residents and companies since 1975. The U.S. Patent Office has awarded more than 1,700 patents to Oklahomans in the past two years. The shopping cart, personal computer, parking meter, auto-pilot, car sun visor, glove compartment and the compact disc changer were all invented by Oklahomans. The number of innovations grows by hundreds each year with recent additions such as the brick mailbox "flip-flag," the automatic garage door timer and cutting edge computer software. While many people aren't aware of the Sooner State's contribution, the long list of inventions shouldn't be a surprise. After all, Oklahomans can fix almost anything with a roll of baling wire, crazy glue, and duct tape. The First patent awarded to anyone living in what would become Oklahoma -- that historians have been able to find -- was in 1880, when the area was still Indian Territory. It was filed Dec. 11, 1880, and awarded to Charles Hutchins of Fort Gibson and James Standly of Toboxie County, Choctaw Territory. The patent was for a Hame-Fastener, which is a piece of equipment used with draft horses. The first patent issued to an Oklahoma Territory resident was filed Aug. 6, 1889, by Gordon Keeney of Kingfisher. The patent was for a "Fender for Wheeled Vehicles." In this case, the wheel was on a wagon, not an automobile. Hutchins, Standly and Keeney have since been followed by problem-solving Oklahomans whose inventions typically come from personal need. Sylvan Goldman, who came to Oklahoma during the first land run, designed and manufactured the shopping cart to give customers at his grocery stores a larger basket to carry more food. Aviator Wiley Post designed the world's first pressurized flying suit so he could fly at a higher altitude and take advantage of the faster wind that became known as the jet stream.
Carl Magee, a member of the Oklahoma City Chamber of Commerce at the time, thought of and helped design the parking meter to ease the growing parking problems downtown. Edward Roberts, now recognized as the father of the personal computer, designed the desktop machine because he needed a product that would save his calculator business from going under. He based his idea on a policy at Oklahoma State University, where he was a student, that allowed people access to the mainframe computer. His invention drew offers from hundreds of software designers trying to break into the business. Roberts and his partners at Micro Instrumentation Telemetry Systems were so overwhelmed by the offers, they decided to work with the first person who showed up with operating software. The first fledgling designer to make the trip was a young man named Bill Gates. Robert went on to help design the laptop computer while at Pertec, but left the company to become a small-town doctor in Georgia after Pertec executives said they didn't foresee any potential for the new laptop design. Ok, that's all of the article that's worth typing up. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/theres-story-in-daily-oklahoman-today.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106438058290068685
http://www.geocities.com/subspecies23/hamster.html Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen? That's the infamous cute and weird hamster picture that Alicia drew. I hope the link works, for some reason I have trouble linking to things in my Geocities account, sometimes it doesn't work. Another boring day off. I went to Hasting and bought the CD The Division Bell by Pink Floyd. I also bought a Dark Side of the Moon cloth poster, which can be found on this web page. http://www.lpgi.com/. It's pretty cool. But I wonder if it can be ironed to get the wrinkles out. It says it can be washed. Maybe that would help a little. My parents are trying to talk me into getting some Zoloft again. They said that I have to do something, I'm gonna have to take them at least for a little while, at least until I am able to get a good job or something. They said that if I went to the doctor they'd even pay for the pills. I'm gonna have to I guess. I'm getting worse. The last couple of times I've went somewhere I've gotten even more nervous and embarrassed than usual. The last couple of times I've went to a store I've almost passed out while waiting in line at the checkout. I get so nervous my face turns red and starts to hurt, and then actually goes numb, and by the time I leave the store my eyes are all red and bloodshot. Speaking of getting a better job, I got some mail today from the prison, they're hiring again, and I can come in for another interview. I have to fill out all the forms again though. Maybe I'll get the job this time though. I hope so, because I'm really wanting to move out and get my own place. Well, I'm gonna try to find something to do now. Maybe I'll watch a movie or something. But it seems like there was something else I wanted to write about. Maybe I'll think of it later. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/hamster-isnt-that-cutest-thing-youve.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106427960524010981
News update: It's raining. And some stuff I mean to mention in my last post. My father's name is not Bo, that's just the nickname he's gone by since he was a little kid. Everyone calls him that, some people don't even know it's not his real name. His real name is Larry. Larry Underwood, just like the character in Stephen King's The Stand. Even I usually call him Bo, even when I was a little kid I called him Bo, not father, or dad or anything like that. People used to ask if he was a stepfather or something, since I called him by his "name." Well, I gotta get ready for work now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/news-update-its-raining.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106416646368014268
This is really weird, my father has a mouse in his truck. He went out there this morning and it was just sitting there looking at him. He said it seemed tame or something, it didn't even hide from it, it just started playing and running around in circles. He thinks it's finally run out of his truck, but he's not sure. Cool, I just heard thunder. It's supposed to storm today, but it looks on the radar like it might pass just a few miles north of us. I hope not, I wish it would rain and storm all day, and all night at work. That would make the 8 hour shift a little more enjoyable. I work with Sarah, the new girl again tonight, so we'll see if she's a good worker or not tonight. Hanson is on Saturday Night Live singing that "Mmm, Bop" song. I hate them. They are from Tulsa, Oklahoma. That town would suck now, if not for the fact that that is also where Weird Al Yankovic filmed his movie UHF. Or I think he did anyway, because in the credits it says something about thanks to the people of Tulsa, Oklahoma. I just went into the other room, and for some reason my parents are watching Hanson. Hey, more thunder. Maybe the storm will hit soon. Oh, and some more good news that I forgot to mention last night. Crystal is next on the list of people to be fired at work. They'll probably fire her the next time she does anything wrong, or calls in. We all hope so. Something else... Alicia is crazy today, or something. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/this-is-really-weird-my-father-has.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106416579392315596
Well, I didn't have to work with Crystal tonight after all. I almost had to work with Tanner instead, but then he got fired, and there was much rejoicing. Crystal called in saying she couldn't work tonight, so they called Tanner in, and he was supposed to be there at four. At ten after four he still hadn't shown up, and Curtis decided that if he wasn't there in a few minutes, he would call Allen, the General Manager, and see if he could fire Tanner. Everyone got really excited, hoping Tanner wouldn't show up. He didn't, so Curtis called Allen, but there was no answer. At 4:30 he tried again, still no answer, so he called all the other managers, and they said to fire him, so Curtis gave Tanner until 5:00, and when he still hadn't arrived, he fired him. Or he tried to. He finally got ahold of Allen, and Allen said not to fire him since it was supposed to be his day off anyway, which is weird, because we've fired people before for not coming in when they were called in. We were all extremely upset that Tanner didn't get fired. Curtis was so mad he was throwing stuff around, and kicking things. Then about 15 minutes later, Tanner called, and said he was late because he was out partying all night and kept falling asleep. Curtis called Allen again, and told him what Tanner said, so Allen said to fire him. As soon as Curtis hung up the phone he yelled, "YES!" very, very loudly. Everyone else was happy too. Since we fired someone we also hired a new girl tonight, and she actually came in and worked tonight. It's too soon to tell if she's going to be a good employee or not. She's only 16 and is a friend of a girl that used to work there that wasn't a very good worker, and that I hated, and still hate.
Tonight was very busy, and I'm worn out now. We got busy after the OU game ended, we expected that. But, for some reason, it stayed busy for about 4 hours. It also seemed much busier than it actually was, because our back liners sucked tonight, and they were extremely slow getting the food out. People were waiting up to 8 minutes for just a few burgers. Adam has only worked there for a little over a week, but he should be better than that by now. The other guy, Nathan, has worked there for over 6 months, but for some reason lately he keeps getting slower and slower. You may have noticed that I use people's real names when I'm talking about them. I've noticed some people on their blogs don't use names, or say things like "Today I talked to M about C." Not me, I don't care. I don't know why anyone would do that anyway, maybe they're afraid the people they're talking about will read their blog, or that people will see these names and figure out who the person writing the blog is, and where they live or something. I guess most of them are just doing the whole "The names have been changed to protect the innocent," thing. Not me, I don't care. As Kurt Vonnegut, one of the worlds greatest writers, often begins his books: "All persons living and dead are purely coincidental, and should not be construed. No names have been changed in order to protect the innocent. Angels protect the innocent as a matter of Heavenly routine." posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/well-i-didnt-have-to-work-with-crystal.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106412230262816193
Check this out, it's really funny. I like Baby Doom. http://www.asofterworld.com/babydoom.jpg That's about all I have to say tonight. It's late. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/check-this-out-its-really-funny.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106403646486112410
Well, this day turned out to be a little better than it started out. The main thing that made it better was the weather. It was very autumn-like today, it was overcast and gray and windy, and the temperature was in the 60's, but felt even colder. A lot of people were actually wearing coats today. I should've worn mine. I like wearing coats, the more clothes covering my fat, the better. It was more than the weather that made it seem like autumn or winter, there were other less tangible indicators. I don't know if it's just me, or what, but autumn and winter even sound and look different. I can't really describe it, but things just look different in the winter, and I don't mean the plant life. Lights seems brighter and more colorful to me. And sounds are louder, too. For me one of the most important signs of winter is the sound of the air. I live about a mile from highway I-35, and I don't know why, but in the winter you can hear the roar of the highway, sometimes even inside the house. I don't know why sounds travel better, if it's because there's no tree leaves blocking the sounds, or if it's something to do with the cold air, but winter even sounds different. Winter also smells different, because you can smell people's fireplaces burning. I love that smell. So this semi-autumn we had today put me in a great mood, it also put me in the mood to go outside. I left the house a couple of times today. Once I just went driving around for a while, but then later I went to Norman. For some reason I wanted to go to a
music store today, so I went to Brook Mays music and just looked around for about half an hour. I almost bought a guitar. I've got $500 burning a hole in my pocket, and I've always wanted to learn to play the guitar. The trouble is, I wouldn't have learned. I have enough instruments laying around that I don't know how to play. I took band for four years in school, playing the alto saxophone, which my parents paid something like $2000 for, but never was that good, and I haven't played it in about 8 or 9 years. Then a few years ago, my parents got me a really good keyboard that I wanted for Christmas, and I bought a bunch of books on how to play the piano and stuff, because I've always wanted to learn to play the piano too, but I never took the time to learn it. I just don't have the patience or attention span to learn a musical instrument. It takes years to learn, but I have trouble keeping an interest in anything for more than two weeks. This goes for pretty much anything I do, I'll get obsessed with something, learning Japanese, learning an instrument, creating a webpage, anything really, and spend lots of money and/or time on it, then a week or two later, I just suddenly get not interested in it anymore. So I didn't get a guitar, partly because I knew it would just be a waste of money and something else to take up space, but mostly because I knew my parents would think the same thing, and be angry that I wasted money on a guitar. I know I'm 23 and I can spend my money on what I want, but I've always done what my parents say, and don't like to upset them. I've never argued with my parents about anything, even when I was a teenager. Mainly because my parents are very good to me, they're nice enough to let me live with them, they didn't kick me out when I turned 18 like a lot of parents do, they let me live with them, so I get free room and board, and meals, and sometimes they pay other expenses of mine, they are even paying for my car. This is why I always have so much money, even though I have a crap job. I hardly have any expenses, pretty much the only expenses I have are car insurance every six months, car tag every year, and clothes and stuff, which I don't buy a lot of anyway. Most of my money is just free to do whatever I want with. I'm sure my parents would've complained if I had brought home another musical instrument, but at least this time I would've paid for it myself, instead of them. I also have a harmonica, which I am decent at playing. I can play my keyboard a little by ear, I can pick out the melodies to stuff, and I know how to read sheet music, from my school band years, but I don't know the chords and stuff yet, and I'm kinda slow at playing anything. I also wish I knew how to play the violin, the cello, the bagpipes, and the accordion. I wish I could play pretty much everything. After I went to the music store, I went to the Wal-Mart Supercenter, partly because the weather had put me into the mood to look at Halloween and, yes, Christmas decorations. Wal-Mart didn't have a very good selection of Halloween stuff this year. Mainly because they were already putting up Christmas stuff. I hate that! It gets earlier every year! They had Christmas stuff up by the first of September this year. At this rate, within 50 years, it will have gotten so early that it will have come completely around back to Christmas again, and so they will just never take them down and sell them year round. They had Christmas stuff sitting next to lawn stuff, lawnmowers and fertilizers, and things like that. It made me want to kill. I spent $50 at Wal-Mart because they had this big bin full of DVDs for $5.88. Most of them were pretty crappy movies, like Ernest Scared Stupid, and many I'd never even heard of, but they did have several good movie too. I bought a couple of Jackie Chan movies, and a couple of old Godzilla movies. They had a couple more I wanted to buy but didn't. I also bought a normally priced DVD, one I saw on Amazon.com the other day, it's a new DVD that just came out all about Pink Floyd's The Dark Side of the Moon. It's a bunch of interviews, and behind the scenes and tour stuff. Then I also bought some blank CDs for me to record stuff off my computer onto. There's a couple of CDs I want to burn. I downloaded several R.E.M. songs today, songs I've always loved, but never bought the album of. R.E.M. is one of my favorite bands. And yes, all these downloads are legal. I got them through legal download services. Oh, something else that cheered me up earlier today is that some CDs I had ordered arrived today. This post sucked. It was really long, but it was rambling and ill-planned, and I used the word "Stuff" way too much. If this had been an English assignment, I would've probably gotten a D. On the good side, I don't think I started a single sentence with "man." Ok, I'm gonna go listen to music now, and then watch Fight Club. I just realized last night that I've never watched it with the actor and director commentary. I usually do that with DVDs of movies I really like. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/well-this-day-turned-out-to-be-little.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106393922809489463
Well, here I am on my day off, doing absolutely nothing. I'm so bored. I wish there was something to do, somewhere to go, or someone to hang out with. My days off suck so much, sometimes I'd almost rather go to work. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/well-here-i-am-on-my-day-off-doing.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106391428643942340
My aunt just sent me an e-mail. Actually it was for my dad, but I'm the only one in the house with an e-mail address, so she had to send it to me. Today it's been six years to the day since my uncle Randal was murdered. He was shot in the head in his sleep by his wife. She had tried to kill him before, once or twice she had set the house on fire with him in it, and claimed he fell asleep with a cigarette or something. They were never able to prove that it was arson, but everyone, even the cops, was sure it was. She shot him in the head, and claimed it was a suicide, but she shot him with her gun, and he was still covered up like he was sleeping, when they found him, and with where he was shot, he would've had to have done it with his right arm, and he could barely use his right arm because of a war injury. They charged her with first degree murder, and they went ahead and convicted her for these old arson charges, so now I think she's serving two life sentences. The saddest thing about all this is that he was in Vietnam, and stepped on a land mine, lost an eye, and couldn't use his right arm very well, but he survived that. He survived a war, and survived stepping on a land mine, only to be killed in his sleep by his own wife. It was a very sad funeral, it's the only funeral I ever cried at. I don't know why his death upset me, and still does, I didn't even really know him that well, I wasn't close to him or anything. Other deaths, like my grandparent's never bothered me that much. His was a very nice funeral, he got full military honors with a 21 gun salute, and flag folding, and all that. The eulogy was very beautiful and sad, and they played some very sad songs, such as the ending song from the Roy Rogers show, "Happy trails to you, until we meet again," and the song Go Rest High on that Mountain. Here's the letter my aunt sent: Dear Bo, It is 12:52 a.m. and I am feeling very melancholy-sad, as I remember that Randel was murdered six years ago today. I will never forget that call that awakened me September 17, 1997, at 6:15 a.m. Janice's mother was on the line saying: "Gail, we picked Janice up at the police station this morning. She and Randel have had some trouble and Randel's gone." I said, "Gone? Does anyone have any idea where?" She responded, "I mean, he's dead, Gail." At this point, I remember falling back on the bed and sobbing and wailing and telling Bill: "Randel is dead! Randel is dead!" He told me that I'd had a bad dream....
The next year is really somewhat of a fog. I remember when I saw the first pictures of his murdered body. Of his head with a hole in it and mal-shapened because it was so swollen from the injury to the brain. They showed these pictures on a big screen in the courtroom. I remember the prosecutor asking me if I thought I wanted to stay in the courtroom when they showed them because, he said: "You will always remember your brother this way and you might rather remember him differently." I told him that I had to be in the courtroom for every witness and every aspect of the trial. I had to be there to help bring justice for my brother. I loved Randel. He was my pal who rode stick horses with me and called himself Roy Rogers and me Dale Evans. He loved women--not in a lustful way (although he appreciated fine looking women), but in an appreciation of their gender differences. He never told me that I couldn't do something because I was a girl. He encouraged me to cross the gender broundaries when he treated me just like one of the guys. He did so as kids growing up and playing baseball in a pasture with the Cypert boys and playing "horse" with our dilapidated basketball goal. He never insulted me by "letting me win." He praised me when I beat him even though he was highly competitive. He never begrudged me even a single accomplishment. I remember when Doug took us water skiing for the first time. It took Randel (normally a fine athlete) seven tries before he got up on the skis. When my turn came, he said to Doug: "I'll bet she gets up on the first try because she has very strong legs." He was right and he yelled and screamed and laughed, telling me "way to go!" when I came right up on the skis. A lesser man would have been jealous that I "showed him up." I sometimes cannot believe that he is no longer traveling this earth (at least not in the form that I knew). I do know he is here though every time I remember something funny that we shared in a sense of humor that we believed unique to our way of seeing the world. What a wonderful brother. What a wonderful man! I know that you must miss him too. I also want you to know that I love you too. I am very proud of you and your family and the hard work that you do every day. You have two beautiful, intelligent children and that doesn't just happen. There has to be some parenting going on to make that happen. I have also not forgotten the time I called you from Dallas after that man attacked me when I was managing those apartments. You are a good, decent man with a warped sense of humor that I love. Please take care of yourself. My heart was broken when Randel died and it is breaking for Valorie now. I love you, Gail posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/my-aunt-just-sent-me-e-mail.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106382207138208476
I'm beginning to think this Chatterbox thing was a bad idea. First, only one person that I didn't previously know is using it, and, second, I now have three people who want me to dress up as Richard Simmons for Halloween. I AM NOT dressing up as Richard Simmons, not now, not ever, and that is my final answer. Me dressing up as Richard Simmons would be wrong in so many ways. First off, I'm disgusting and fat, and the sight of me in short shorts and a tank top would be very harmful to others. Second, I am not gay, but many people think I am, so I am not going to give them anything to make them any more sure that I am gay. Also, I have no afro, and I don't think my hair could be made to afro. Ok, I have something else to write about, but I'm gonna do it in a new post, it belongs in its own post, and not in a post that talks about Richard Simmons. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/im-beginning-to-think-this-chatterbox.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106381947149971442
Man, what is with me tonight? I keep thinking of things I want to write about, but by the time I get to Blogger, I've forgotten what I was going to write about. Man, I'm bored. I got off really early tonight, and I've just been sitting here doing nothing. I haven't even really been able to do much on the internet, because I've got some big files downloading, and it slows things down so much I can't really do much. I really wish I had a high-speed internet connection or some kind, instead of dial-up, dial-up sucks ass. I'm so bored, I should watch a movie or something, but there's not really any I want to watch. Well, I'd kinda like to watch Fight Club, but that movie's pretty long, it's too late to watch it now. By the time I got the movie on and everything, it would be after 2:00 when it went off. I'm listening to the Pink Floyd album, The Final Cut, I love this album, it's one of my favorite CDs. It's so sad, especially this song, The Gunner's Dream. The album calls itself "A requiem for the post-war dream." It's all about war, and the effects of war on people. Especially people who have come home from war, and now, years later, they're depressed, and half-crazy, and haunted by the things they saw in the war. Man, what the hell was I wanting to write about? There were several things, there were a couple of things I forgot to mention in my post earlier. Alicia was online a couple of hours ago, but I was so bored I couldn't even think of anything to talk to her about, so that was pretty boring too. Tonight, a while after Alicia got off work, she came through drive-thru, and had her dog with her. That dog is incredibly fat. It's hilarious, I liked the dog, because it was so funny looking. It's supposed to be a miniature pinscher, but it was so fat it didn't look anything like one. Alicia said it hates everyone, and was amazed when I put my hand out to it, and it just sniffed it. But then I tried to pet it, and it went psycho and tried to bite me. I like that dog, it was so fat it looked like a small barrel. I want a barrel-dog too. Mmmm, barrel dog. I bet that dog's got some good meat on it. Well, I'm gonna try to find something else to do now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/man-what-is-with-me-tonight-i-keep.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106377646387632949
evanescent as Cinderella's gilded coach -- it vanished the instant Dudley appeared. Did you know? The fragile, airy quality of things "evanescent" reflects the word's etymology. "Evanescent" derives from the Latin verb "evanescere," which means "to evaporate" or "to vanish." English has several other words that mean lasting or staying only a short time. "Ephemeral" and "transitory" apply to what is bound to pass ("superstardom is transitory"); "ephemeral," especially, implies striking brevity of duration ("fads, by their very nature, are ephemeral"). "Fugitive" and "fleeting" imply passing so quickly as to make apprehending difficult ("a fugitive smile flitted across his face"; "caught a fleeting glimpse"). "Fugacious," which we featured as a Word of the Day in July, is used of all things fleeting and transitory; it's also the least common of these synonyms. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/all-right-all-you-evanescence-fans.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106377394679939041
Oh...my...God. Cartoon Network just advertised a new show, called "Clone Wars." That's right, a Star Wars cartoon! I'm so excited I may soil myself. I just hope it's as cool as it could be. Most likely though, it will suck. Please let it be cool, please let it be cool, please let it be cool... Tonight at work Crystal kept claiming she was pregnant. I don't think anyone believed her though. Then she said she was joking, then she said that no, she really was pregnant. She kept changing her story. She claimed she was three months pregnant, I especially don't believe that, she's tiny, she's incredibly skinny. If she was three months pregnant, you could tell. Also at work today, Alicia drew a really weird, somewhat horrible, hamster. I brought it home and showed it to my sister, and she freaked out. She was like "Oh my god! It's horrible looking, but it's also kinda cute!" I love those expandable link boxes, they look cool, and don't take up a lot of space.

Ok, today I'm going to post one of the many stories I wrote years ago. It's been so long since I've been able to write anything, but I used to be pretty good at it. I have close to 100 documents here on my computer, most of them written in 1998 and 1999, I've hardly written anything since. Though I was good at writing, I never finished anything I wrote. I never even knew what I was writing about when I was writing it, I just made it all up as I went along. So I have dozens of these small documents, ranging from a couple of sentences to 8 pages. I can only think of two stories I ever finished. This is not one of them, this is one of the many unfinished stories that seems really cool, but I was never able to get any farther in it. This story also has features that appeared in many of my stories, such as rain. I wrote several stories about an unnatural, unending rain, and in fact, this story seems like it could take place sometime after the events in another story I wrote, it shares many of the same themes. Another thing that appears in this story that appeared in many of my other stories is a sentence I was very fond of, many of my stories would contain a line about "wincing against the sudden light." I'm sure a psychologist could say many things about that. Anyway, enough rambling, here's the story. His wet hair hung limply in strands around his eyes. The rain continued to fall from the dark sky. Rain dripped from the leaves around him, but was not soaked up by the already saturated ground. Drops of water welled up at the ends of his hair, and dropped off. He looked up into the rain, wondering if it would ever end. How long had it been since it started? He couldn't figure out exactly how long, he had lost track of the days, but as close as he could figure, it had been about three weeks. Three weeks that seemed like a lifetime. He rose in the darkness from his resting place under a large tree that provided some shelter from the rain, and walked out of the darkened park, and into the dimly lit, empty, city streets. It had been three days since he last saw another person, another human. A fleeting glimpse of a bedraggled form scurrying into the darkness of an alley. There weren't many people out in these days, what few people there were tended to stay in their dwellings, or in some other hiding place. Suddenly he stopped walking, the rain had slowed, but not ceased. He looked once again up at the sky, for what must have been the millionth time since the rain began. A small hole appeared in the clouds, and he could see a small portion of the night sky, dotted with many glittering stars. A cool breeze blew over him. He stood there staring at the stars. It had been so long since he had seen the stars, or even the sky, other than the constant dark clouds. The wind began to blow harder, and become more chill, and the break in the clouds disappeared, and the sky was again a wall of clouds. He shivered in the cold and wet. He decided that he had better find some shelter for the night, some real shelter. His usual tree in the park helped keep away some of the rain, but did nothing for the cold. He found a stairway down into what appeared to be the storage basement of a small caf. He was in luck, this night he would have shelter and food. He crept into the darkness, groping for a light switch. He found one and the room became illuminated. He winced against the sudden light, and after his eyes adjusted he took a look around to make sure the room was not already occupied by one of the gangs that had arisen in the last few weeks. He had had a couple of run-ins with them already, and was lucky to get away, and had many times come across their handiwork. They were the largest groups of people he had seen since the rain began. He couldn't see anyone in the room, and so he relaxed a little. It appeared to be safe, or at least it didn't contain any immediate danger, nowhere was safe these days. You could at any minute become the victim of some seen or unseen danger, if you were lucky it would be one of the human dangers, and not one of the others. He slumped down into a corner to rest, and fell almost at once into sleep, and dreamed. In his dream there was no rain, there were no clouds. The sky was clear, and it was day. The sun shone brightly in the sky overhead. He was standing in the still empty city streets, but he heard something he hadn't heard since the rain began. He heard the birds singing. Everything seemed to be normal, except for the lack of people. Suddenly, a new sound came to his ears, from somewhere around the corner. It was the sound of children laughing. He ran to the corner and looked around, but could see no children. He heard the noise again, from farther off, and he began to walk after it. As he walked, though, it seemed to get farther away from him. He kept walking, and it was always somewhere in the distance, out of his sight. He began to walk faster, and finally he began to run after it. Still he could not reach it. Suddenly it sounded like there were more children, and they began to laugh more. As he ran, the apparent number of children continued to increase, until it sounded as if there was a great group of children, and it began to sound as if they were all laughing at him. Suddenly it seemed not as if he was running after the children, but running from them. Then, abruptly, he stopped; he found he was standing at the entrance to the park, the park where his tree was. The laughter abruptly ceased. He entered the park and began to walk across it, to where his tree was; he felt a sudden urge to find his tree. As he topped a small hill near the center of the park a sudden wind came up, and the sky began to
quickly grow dark, and cloud over. In a few seconds the sky was a wall of black clouds, and the rain began to fall. A bolt of lightning flashed from the sky, and struck his tree, which burst into flames. At that he awoke, and heard the last rumblings of rolling thunder. While pondering his dream, he found some packaged food that was still good, and ate his meal in silence. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/ok-today-im-going-to-post-one-of-many.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106373933332699367
Man, talk about a wasted day. I've been sitting at this computer for about 11 hours. Actually I've had worse days, at least the computer was entertaining today, it wasn't one of those days where I just sit there staring at the same few pages all day in a semi-comatose state. I've been working on all those links I just added down there, so I've been going through all my vast archives of links today, looking them over, and visiting most of the sites. It's a lot of work to go through all my bookmarks, because they are spread out over so many programs, Mozilla, Internet Explorer, two different AOL accounts, and more. I was hoping to do more than this today. I kept thinking maybe Daniel would call, he told me a few days ago they were probably going to get together and play Halo tonight, but he never called today to verify this. I didn't really feel like playing Halo tonight anyway. I probably wouldn't have gone anyway. I was hoping Alicia would get online tonight. But she never did. I saw her sign on for a minute, but she signed back off before I could say anything. Here's a funny conversation I just had with Melissa. Melissa is a girl that lives in California that I met online and have been friends with for about five years now. Well, not really a girl, she's a few years older than me, and is getting married soon. She is the "WooTequila" in my chatterbox down there. She's really weird, and cool. Dammit! I just went to copy the conversation, and my Yahoo Messenger crashed and the window closed! So I'll have to try to remember the conversation as best I can. missy_custer: Mmmm, I'm hungry. missy_custer: What did you have for dinner tonight? SubSpecies23: Children! missy_custer: lmfao SubSpecies23: lol, not really. I had meatloaf. SubSpecies23: Made out of children! missy_custer: lol, meatloaf, the singer? SubSpecies23: ew, no, lol. Though he looks like he's probably eaten a child or two. missy_custer: Yeah, the evil bastard. There, that's pretty much what was said. I'm surprised I remembered it that well. There was a praying mantis on my window earlier! I've only seen a few around here. Probably five in my entire life. I should've went outside and caught it. Instead I flicked the window screen it was on, and it went flying off the screen. Hmmm, it seems like there was something else I had been planning on writing about, but I can't remember what it was.

stuff, back then they were in the tin cans, and theyd just sit out there and rust. It was all a big money war We had to get rid of our own trash and stuff. We made sure there wasnt nothing in it of any importance. I seen them put those pint, um, quart deals of milk right out by the barrel, during the burning of some of the trash, it would turn the cartons black, sitting around that barrel. Wed take lard and butter and stuff, the big gallon cans, theyd open them up and push the lid down in there. Wed hauled it off one day, and, the boys went to unload it, and the [South] Vietnamese was unloading it. And they was just reaching their hands down in that butter and lard and stuff, and eating it, and they was drinking that milk, with it being burnt like that. And you know it had to be ruined, because it was ruined when they set it out there. And of course, being by that barrel and stuff, the heat didnt help it. I actually seen them drink it, and run their hands and stuff down in that butter and lard and eating it. And theyd cut their hands on them lids that were smashed down in there, and theyd bleed in it and just still be eating it. The butter and stuff, of course, I guess, you know, wasnt ruined, but you know how that stuff just gets tasting old. It was sickening to sit there and watch them drinking that milk and stuff. They had to have had iron stomachs; I couldnt even stand the smell of it. You didnt have to use the dump; theyd unload it, looking for stuff, you know. There was a big hole in the ground you were supposed to dump in, but you didnt get the chance, because they were always looking through the stuff you threw away, so that was the reason you didnt throw anything of importance away. You just threw away stuff that was literally trash. It shows you what kind of country they were, they werent totally developed yet, what youd call developed. The South Vietnamese, actually, were good people, they were just poor people. KU: Following up on that, what were the living conditions like for the South Vietnamese? What effects did the war have on the regular people? RL: Like the farmers? Well, I dont know, really what effect it had, but it would keep them from developing. Because if they did grow anything that the Vietnamese that lived there didnt need, they [The North Vietnamese] would take it away from them, because there wasnt that many ARVNs, or South Vietnamese soldiers there to protect them. So theyd just come through there and take what they wanted. What you seen was just all rice paddies, over where we was at there was a lot of them. I seen them out there making hooches one time, had a mud hole out there and theyd throw straw in it, and walk around on it, and mix that straw and mud up and make their hooches out of it. They lived in dirt floors, mud houses and stuff, which over there was probably about as cool as you could get. But you didnt see no dogs over there either. [Laughing] Its just something that you have to experience. Youre covering basically good people. Like I said, they were what I guess youd call undeveloped They kept to themselves really. The North Vietnamese, and Im not sure, but I think some of the Koreans had something to do with it, because youd see one of them mixed in with them North Vietnamese soldiers once in a while. Basically it just all came down to a big money war for the big shots to make money off of. Especially [President] Johnson. KU: Yeah, Ive heard people say that before RL: It was, you could sit over there and see things go to waste Youd see them [the South Vietnamese soldiers] running up and down the roads with new guns and cannons and stuff, and wed be sitting there, I was in charge of communications and we were supposed to have a Jeep, and a three-quarter, and a deuce-and-a-half, and I think we just had a deuce-and-a-half. The Vietnamese were running down the road with new trucks, new guns. Our M-60 for guard duty was so bad you could bump it and itd go off even when it was on safety. As a matter a fact, one of our guys got killed by it He made a mistake and sat down in front of that gun, and one of the guys on guard duty with him bumped that gun, and it went off and shot him in the back and killed him. There was a lot of casualties caused by your own country. We couldnt get nothing, they gave it all to the Vietnamese. They called us police action, [laughing] we were policemen. If theyd called it a war it wouldnt have lasted long. They wouldnt do it. KU: Were you ever in or around any major battles, the Tet Offensive or anything like that? RL: No, we werent in that area. Like I said, I was in artillery They knew when they was coming in and stuff. Artillery could pretty well hold them off if they knew they were coming. They had shells youd shoot and theyd explode and fan out with little bitty darts, like needles. You didnt want to get in front of them, regardless of where you was at, whether you was on the ground or Perry said he found some sometimes people would be pinned to trees with them. KU: My uncle was in Vietnam, and he stepped on something like that, a mine that shot shrapnel everywhere. It messed up his right arm, he couldnt use it very well, and he had to have a glass eye. [We got off the subject for a while, it turns out he worked with my grandfather in the oil fields and used to be friends with my uncle and my father when they were young. So we ended up talking about family for a while, but eventually got back on subject.] RL: That place messed up a lot of guys minds. It didnt bother me too much, we did ours from a distance and we didnt get to see a lot of victims. Every once in a while wed have a little bit of trouble but nothing much. Just what they called keep you honest. Throw in a few rounds once in a while. I was always kinda scared the whole time we was over there, cause he had a big pit full of gas over there. Of course, they were in these rubber bladders that would stop a lot of it, but if a round had ever hit that it would have busted one of them and it wouldve went off and it would have been hot. Like I said, I was lucky, I didnt see a whole lot. Just enough to know that I didnt want to either. KU: Did you see anything over therelike anything that really bothered you? RL: Occasionally you know, but the worst was when that gun went off and killed that guy. I was in charge that night. It kinda bothered me, it also bothered me that we didnt have the equipment good enough to take care of ourselves. So it all falls back to money. RL: Basically we had good people, everybody tried to look after one another, but youd run into an asshole once in a while. We had this E6 once that tried to pull rank all the time, but it didnt do him a lot of good We got along pretty good with everybody, except for one drill sergeant. Me and him got into it cause he wanted me to do a bunch of pushups, we had been marching two or three miles with all that gear on, and it was hurting my shoulders where I tore the cartilage one time. We get back and for no reason at all, he wanted me to do pushups and I just laid there and I told him that my shoulder hurt and I wasnt going to do a damn thing. So we went over to the captain and the captain said something and the drill sergeant didnt like it and he tried to push me down and I threw him over my shoulder so that was about the end of it. KU: You talked about it messing with peoples minds, and Ive heard that there was a lot of drug use over there that also contributed to it. RL: There was. I didnt see a lot of it, but I saw a little. They didnt have a lot of drugs, but they had one over there it was called liquid speed, and it would screw you up. And if they could get marijuana, a lot of them would get on that stuff. Some of them would get caught and theyd make them go back to the main base, and stay there Most of them you didnt want them around anyway, cause they could get somebody hurt. KU: When you got back there were a lot of anti-war protests and a lot of anger against returning soldiers. Did you ever encounter any of that? RL: I never encountered any of that, I heard about it but never encountered any of it. We had around that Fort Benning in that honor guard we went over there and trained for riot control because they were having that plus all the black stuff in 68 and 69, and we were training for riot control. I think that worried me worse than going to Vietnam, you know. What do you do with your own people? We was lucky that things settled back down, and then I went over seas. Then they had that one college where four or six of them got killed, thats kinda what I was afraid of. Thats what worried me so much. They train you for it, but theres nothing, nothing about something going different, nothing ever goes like youre trained for. But that was one thing I was proud to quit before we
Truly Strange, yet Strangely True. Vermont's David Smiths to Gather PLAINFIELD, Vt. (Sept. 9) - Almost everywhere he's gone in life, David B. Smith Jr. has run into other David Smiths, either in person or through their misdirected mail. "I've always wondered what their lives were like,'' said Smith, 63, who owns the Highland Lodge hotel in Greensboro. "You'd expect someone who has your name to have something in common with you, so the question is, what? Where have they been? What have they been doing?'' This week, Smith and all the other David Smiths in Vermont will get a chance to find out. On Tuesday, the Twinfield Union School in Plainfield is hosting David Smith Night. To celebrate an already abundant population of local David Smiths, and to welcome a new VISTA volunteer named David Smith who will be working at the school, the school has invited all 57 David Smiths listed in Vermont phone books to a corn roast and community pot luck dinner. "We're going to sort of get a sense of who these David Smiths are,'' said Twinfield Principal Owen Bradley. "It may be a common name, but we want to show people how unique each one is.'' David C. Smith, a 42-year-old tree nursery worker from Johnson, plans to be there. So does David L. Smith, 53, an artist and carpenter from Marshfield. Like most of the other David Smiths, David L. Smith has stories to tell about his popular name. "I first noticed it a few years ago when David R. Smith moved into town,'' said David L. Smith. "He's a biker, and I used to get some pretty interesting party invitations that I probably should have gone to.'' David E. Smith, of Putney, a computer network manager, gets calls that were meant for a local contractor, asking him to do construction projects. "I generally tell them no, but if you need a computer fixed, I'm your guy,'' he said. Another David C. Smith, this one living in Norwich, said he'd never met another David Smith until he moved from Texas to Vermont 20 years ago and immediately met three of them. He didn't know what to make of the invitation to meet his fellow David Smiths. "I thought at first it was some marketing strategy or something like that,'' he said. He remembers a day at the local hardware store when all three of the community's David Smiths happened to be in at the same time. He got them all together at the counter. "I said, "All I ask you two guys is to keep enough money in your checking account,''' he joked. Of all the David Smiths, it's David B. Smith, Jr. who is perhaps the most enthusiastic about the gathering. "I'm so excited. Although we share some things in common, we also look at life differently, and that's going to be very interesting,'' said Smith. "I'm going to eat a lot of corn and listen to what other David Smiths have to say.'' Kentucky Police Call in Ghostbusters SHELBYVILLE, Ky. (Sept. 7) - Stymied by mysterious sights and sounds in their own headquarters, cops in Shelbyville called in the ghostbusters. In the still of night, doors rattled and stairwells creaked in the city's police department. In the light of day, a secretary's desk drawer opened on its own. A city worker who toured the building late one night even reported feeling something grab her leg. So the police took the probe to another dimension. "The way I treat it is not that there is a ghost, there's just things that I can't explain,'' said Officer John Wilson, who contacted the Scientific Investigative Ghost Hunting Team, based in Louisville. The team of professional paranormal investigators gave the brick building a preliminary review and will return this fall for a thorough probe. The group will set up cameras and tape recorders as well as infrared thermometers to capture any temperature variations. The goal is to try to prove the strange occurrences aren't caused by paranormal forces, said Kay Owen, vice president of the nonprofit ghost hunting team, which doesn't charge for its services. "We'll go in and try to recreate everything that they are experiencing,'' she said. "If they can recreate it, it's not paranormal. It can be explained. It's a process of elimination.'' posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/truly-strange-yet-strangely-true.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106359442223879995
Time for links. I got pretty much all of these from http://davebarry.blogspot.com/ so you could just go there to save time maybe. September 19th is http://www.talklikeapirate.com/! http://www8.plala.or.jp/Laputa/flash/nasu.html I have no idea what this is, aside from the obvious, which is that it is eggplants singing a song by Tatu in Japanese. http://www.meatshake.com/ Mmm...Meat shake, and his friend, http://www.halfbakery.com/idea/Pork_20Nog A holiday classic... with pork!
http://www.cincypost.com/2003/09/10/trial09-10-2003.html I don't even know what to say about this story, it's just too weird. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3625017873&category=22702&rd=1 Maybe http://www.theiowachannel.com/news/2465677/detail.html is why your kids have been hanging out at the Mall so much. http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/living/columnists/dave_barry/6649728.htm A couple of weeks ago, Dave Barry, in his syndicated column, gave the phone number of the American Teleservices Corporation and urged people to call them and tell them what they think of telemarketers. Here's what happened next... MIAMI (Sept. 12) - Telemarketers are now screening their calls, instead of the other way around. The American Teleservices Association isn't laughing at Dave Barry, not after the Pulitzer Prize-winning humor columnist for The Miami Herald listed the group's telephone number in his Aug. 31 column and sparked a flood of phone calls to the group's offices. Barry told his readers to call and ''tell them what you think.'' ''I'm sure they'd love to hear your constitutionally protected views! Be sure to wipe your mouthpiece afterward,'' Barry wrote. Thousands of Barry's readers have done as they were told, forcing the association to stop answering its phones. Callers now hear a recording, which says that because of ''overwhelming positive response to recent media events, we are unable to take your call at this time.'' ''It's difficult not to see some malice in Mr. Barry's intent,'' said Tim Searcy, executive director of the ATA, who said the added calls will be costly to his group because of toll charges and staffing issues. Barry hardly sounded apologetic. ''I feel just terrible, especially if they were eating or anything,'' he said. ''They have phones like the rest of us have phones. Their attitude seems to be if you have a phone, people are allowed to call you.'' ATA officials have said about 2 million of the 6.5 million people working at telemarketing call centers across the nation will lose their jobs because of the rules that established the nationwide ''Do Not Call'' list. Barry also attacked that logic in the same column. ''Of course, you could use pretty much the same reasoning to argue that laws against mugging cause unemployment among muggers,'' he wrote. ''But that would be unfair. Muggers rarely intrude into your home.'' Barry's column is syndicated to about 500 newspapers across the country.

Well, work wasn't as bad as we figured it would be, in fact, it was slightly less busy than it usually is on Fridays. We didn't get busy at all after the game. The last couple of hours we were open we hardly had any business at all. It was Purcell's Homecoming, they were playing Blanchard, and beat them pretty badly, 27 to 6, or something like that. One of the people from Blanchard came in to Carl's Jr., and was talking about it, they said it was embarrassing. I had a lot of fun at the movies yesterday. Alicia was weird. She got a box of junior mints, and after she finished she tore the box open and was licking it, because some of them were smashed. Junior Mints are good, I'd never had them before. Then she threw it out the car window on the way home. I don't like littering. I told her she'd throw it out the window, and it would hit some highway patrol's windshield and I'd get a ticket. At the movie we were making fun of Daniel and he wasn't even there. We were eating popcorn, and saying that when Daniel and Olivia go to the movies Daniel just straps the popcorn bag on like a feedbag, like a horse. We were laughing at parts of the movie that weren't even funny, because we'd say things like "your mom" when the people in the movie would say something. On the drive to the theater Alicia turned around and checked the back seat because she was afraid my sister was hiding back there and was going to leap out and attack her or something. Alicia thinks my sister wants to kill her or something, just because my sister wrote a couple of weird stories that had Alicia in them. Yesterday was great, the most fun I've had in a long time. I always have fun with Alicia, I wish I got to hang out with her more often. Not only did Johnny Cash and John Ritter die last night, Alicia's dog did too. It's been about to die for a couple of days now. It makes me sad. I'd never even seen the dog or anything, but I'm sad because Alicia's sad and depressed about it. She came in tonight and her eyes were all red, and she said she'd been crying about it. Well, that's it for tonight. I'm tired. My blog sucks lately. I really need to find things to write about besides what I so laughingly call my life.

Ouch, I just took a big chunk out of the heel of my foot. I was walking past the entertainment stand thing my TV is on, and the glass door on the front was open, and as I passed it, when I brought my foot up I hit it right on the sharp corner of the glass. Took a pretty good chunk of flesh off. What's weird is there's not been a drop of blood. It didn't even get red, like blood coming to the surface or anything. The wound is just the same pale white as the rest of my heel. I guess you can chalk it up to poor blood-flow, I have a problem with that. Sometimes my hands and feet will get so cold they're almost numb, even if it's hot in the house. I also have really high blood pressure. I actually had to miss school a couple of times because my blood pressure was really high that day, and I had one of those horrible high blood pressure headaches, where it feels like your head is going to explode. Then once during a health class I had to take in College we were learning about blood pressure, and they took all our blood pressures, and when they saw mine they tried to call the hospital, because with what my blood pressure was reading, I should've been dead. I finally convinced them that that was normal for me though. I also have a high pulse rate, your pulse is supposed to be about 75, mine's usually about 110. I don't know if my blood pressure is really quite that high though. That's just what it always says on these home blood pressure machines, and unprofessional things like that, but usually when I go to the doctor they say my blood pressure is just fine. So who knows. I haven't had one of those headaches in years, so maybe my blood pressure has gotten better. That sucks! My sister just came in and told me that Johnny Cash died last night! I'm not a big country music fan, but Johnny Cash had some cool songs. I especially like that one that came out recently, that was up for several MTV Music Awards, Hurt. I can't believe I hadn't heard that he'd died. America Online news keeps talking about John Ritter dying unexpectedly last night, but I hadn't seen anything about Johnny Cash. His wife just died a few months ago, at least they didn't have to be apart long, if you're the kind of person who believes in an afterlife of some sort. I like to believe there's life after death, but I'm not getting my hopes up. In all likelihood, when you die, you're gone. What's kinda weird, is I was listening to a Johnny Cash song when I found out he died. I was listening to Hurt and my sister heard it, and came in and said "You know he died don't you?" A similar thing happened with Kurt Cobain. Years ago I ordered the Nevermind album from Columbia House, and on the day it arrived, Kurt Cobain shot himself. I think I was listening to it when I found out. Hey, the foot wound is finally starting to get a little red tinged. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/ouch-i-just-took-big-chunk-out-of-heel.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106339352378858616
DAMMIT! I don't know what happened. I just wrote a post, but something messed up when I went to post it, and it got lost somehow. I don't feel like rewriting it right now. Maybe later. For now, check out this horrible news story: http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/news/sept03/46.html I didn't even know this guy had a name, but Plato, the weird looking little blue alien from the Sony minidisk commercials is getting his own TV show. Forget simple product placement, welcome to the future; Half-hour long commercials disguised as entertainment. What's next, the 1-800-Collect Angel Show? And for kids, The Ronald McDonald Show, and the Coca-Cola Polar Bears Cartoon. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/dammit-i-dont-know-what-happened.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106332114257285145
Cool, blogger has new features, such as a spell check. I don't know why our stupid customers at work can never get the name of our products right. For example, instead of "Famous Star," tonight some guy came in and asked, "Do you guys have a something called the 'Flamin Star,' or something like that?" It made me want to kill things. About fifteen minutes before close tonight, we all decided we would go over to Phillip's and play Halo for a couple of hours after work, so we did. It wasn't as fun tonight, there
were only five of us, and only one Xbox, last night we had like 8 people, and two linked XBoxes. I'm really tired. For some reason I couldn't sleep last night, I just laid there awake all night. I went to bed about 2:00 a.m., and didn't get to sleep until almost 5:30. I'm off again tomorrow. Me and Alicia might go to the movies tomorrow. We were wanting to see Underworld, but we just found out today that it doesn't come out until the 19th. So if we do still go to the movies, we're probably gonna go see The Order, I think. Well, I'm gonna go try to get some sleep. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/cool-blogger-has-new-features-such-as.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106326497285327165
I didn't know "Smashmouth" was a real word. Check this out. From the "Word of the Day" email list I get. smashmouth \SMASH-mouth\ adjective : characterized by brute force without finesse Example sentence: Monday night's game, between two teams known for their hardhitting, aggressive styles, promises to be entertaining if you like smashmouth football. Did you know? "Smashmouth" crashed its way into the English language during the 1984 football season to describe the brutally hardhitting play that is characteristic of the game. It has since been used to describe similar physicality in other contact sports, such as hockey and basketball, and has even forced its way out of the realm of sports into politics; we've been using it to describe hardball tactics in politics since the 1984 U.S. presidential election. However, this political application of "smashmouth" never made it into the end zone. It occurs too rarely in English to merit its own sense in the dictionary. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/i-didnt-know-smashmouth-was-real-word.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106321448139862530
Dude, my chatterbox keeps fucking up. Almost everytime I try to say something, it gives me error messages. Thanks for reading Gusto, I'm glad to finally hear from someone I don't know, lets me know I really have readers. I know I've gotten over 300 hits this week (thanks to my quizilla ad) but it still feels good to finally know for sure that people are reading it. Fuck, my head hurts. I just got home from playing Halo for six hours. That also explains the language, I've been playing video games and being vulgar all night. Fuck fuck fuckity fuck. Once tonight while we were playing I was trash talking Daniel, and I said "Hey Daniel, guess what I did today?" Short pause. "Your mom." I wore my "Flying Hamster of Doom" shirt today, everyone who saw it thought it was like the greatest shirt ever, even the guys. I figured most of the guys would think it was stupid. Like I care what they think anyway. The only person who didn't comment on it was Crystal. I went to Carl's earlier to talk to Daniel, to verify when and where we were playing tonight, and Crystal was at work, and she was being a bitch. She started throwing things at me and told me to get the hell out of "her" restaurant (did I spell that right? I never can spell that word). Then she said she was going to bite me again, (she bit me the other night, not very hard though) and that this time she hoped it would draw blood. She's a psycho bitch. Everyone was making fun of her and bitching about her tonight over at Phillip's. That's where we played video games, at Phillip's apartment again. Everyone hates her. All the guys drool over her, and want to fuck her, but they still hate her. Ummm, what else? I never got around to watching Monty Python's The Meaning of Life today, though I did watch a few of the behind the scenes extras. I know, I'll post some links...just for you. http://www.stupidnakedpeople.com/ http://www.onlineconversion.com/ A good reference site. Lets you convert pretty much anything to anything else. You know, from American to Metric, feet to inches, fahrenheit to celsius, stuff like that. http://www.drdemento.com/index.html http://www.unclestupid.com/ A website of bizzare news stories.

Hooray for days off. I certainly needed one. I did stuff today! For a change. Look at all the small sentences! It's fun! Let's type more small sentences! Okay, so that one wasn't so small. Neither was that one. Nevermind. Hey, that one was short again. So was the one before it. I can't stop. Someone make me stop. Give me money and I'll stop. I have a paypal button. No one has ever used it. Bastards. I hate you. Ok, I'm done. Or am I? I was lying. Because I hate you. Ok, now I really am done, this sentence will be long, see? So anyway, now that the stupid shit is over, I will finish what I was talking about. I did things today, I actually left the house. I also spent lots of money, about $110. first I spent $25 dollars on an oil change for my car, it needed it. I've been putting it off, and was about 2000 miles overdue for one. If I had had it done when it was supposed to have been done, it would almost be time for another one. Then I went to Best Buy. They were having a DVD sale, three DVDs for $30, but there was only like 20 DVDs to choose from for the sale, and I couldn't find three that I wanted. I already had most of the good ones. The only one I really wanted was Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, then I decided to get Shanghai Noon for the second one, but then I couldn't find a third one I wanted, so in the end I didn't get the special sale. I just bought Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Monty Python's The Meaning of Life. I already own The Meaning of Life on VHS, and it's my least favorite Monty Python movie, but this new DVD has six hours of deleted scenes and extras, so I had to get it. Then I went to Hot Topic, and bought lots of stuff. I bought a cool t-shirt that says "The Flying Hamster of Doom rains coconuts on your pitiful city," and has a picture of a cute little winged hamster. You can see it http://www.hottopic.com/store/product.asp?LS=0&ITEM=292530, though this is the sticker, not the tshirt. The shirt looks cooler. I also bought a bunch of buttons. Man, why are those buttons so expensive? They're $1.50 each, I spent $12.00 on buttons. I don't know why I even buy the buttons, I've never even worn any of them, but I still like buying them. I have probably 20-25 buttons. Buttons I bought today: - A green button that says "Your Mom," looks like it's wrote in chalk on a chalkboard. - A button that says "Worst Button Ever." No picture, just text. - A button with Hamtaro on it. (Another hamster-related item. I love hamsters.) - A button that says "Don't tell me what kind of day to have." - A button that says "I'm with Stupid --->" (I've always wanted one of those t-shirts.) - A button with Lucy (from the Charlie Brown comics) looking angry about something and it says "No.1 Crab." - A button with Animal (from the Muppet Show) shining a flashlight on his face, and it says "Me scary!" - A button with Fozzie (from the Muppet Show) holding a banana to his ear like a telephone, and it says "Bananaphone." (I cracked up laughing right there in the store when I saw this one.) Now if I only had something to wear these buttons on. I wanna wear them to work, that would be fun. When winter comes I'll put them all on my coat, but for now I have nothing to wear them on. I also bought a poster of "Things you Learn from Video Games," which I posted in the previous post. I'm off again tomorrow. I probably won't do anything tomorrow. I'm probably just gonna sit around the house all day and watch The Meaning of Life. Daniel and some others are playing Halo again tomorrow night, and want me to come, but I don't know if I will. I don't know how they can sit around playing the same game for so long. I get bored with Halo after a couple of hours, but last week they played it for 10 or 11 hours. I might go for a while, but probably not. I'd kinda like to get out of the house again tomorrow and be around people, but I don't really want to go play video games with them. I wish I was able to go out and try to pick up women, but I can't. I don't even know where to go to pick up women. I really want a girlfriend. I really should go get some Zoloft so I could talk to people. Well, I've been writing this post for over an hour now. It's 1:00 a.m., I should go to bed soon. I hope I don't oversleep like I did this morning. I ended up sleeping until noon. I hate sleeping that late, it feels like the whole day is ruined. I was wanting to get up early, but instead, I overslept. I just noticed my left elbow is sunburned again. I always put that arm up in my car window when I'm driving, and it gets sunburned whenever I drive for more than an hour or two. My left arm in like the only part of my body that gets tan in the summer. My right arm gets slightly darker than in the winter, but my left arm gets a pretty good tan. The rest of my body won't tan no matter what I do. I can go around in shorts the entire summer, which I used to do until the last couple of years, and my legs will remain just as blindingly white as they always are. I finally wrote a long post. It's been a while. Not counting my last few posts, they don't count, they were just test results, I didn't actually do much writing in them. But this post is good and long. OK, time for bed. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/hooray-for-days-off.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106308765388506817
You can push other vehicles off the road and get away with it. If someone dies, they disappear. If you get mad enough, you can fight even better. You can overcome most adversaries simply by having enough quarters. You can operate all weapons without training. No matter how long you fight, you can always fight again. Death is reversible (only for you!) Ninjas are common and frequently fight in public. Whenever big fat mean guys are about to croak, they begin flashing red or yellow. You never run out of ammunition, just grenades. All women wear revealing clothes and have great bodies. Shoot everything. If it blows up or dies, it was bad. Don't worry if your vehicle crashes and explodes. A new vehicle will appear in its place. A thousand-to-one odds against you is NOT a problem. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/things-you-learn-from-video-games.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106308254470175552

Damn, it finally cleared off today, and was sunny and warm. It was back up in the 90s again. I liked the week of clouds and rain we'd been having. I was supposed to be off today, but I had to work. They hired Crystal back, and then she came up yesterday and looked at the schedule and said "I told Allen I wasn't able to work Thursday!" She had to have off today, so I had to come in and work, which means I will be working six days in a row before my day off. I guess it's just as well, I just spend my days off bored out of my head. I'm bored right now. Someone posted this to the alt.slack newsgroup.

I got an e-mail from the White House today. In response to my faxes and emails (see previous post). It's just one of those stupid automatic form e-mails:

http://www.truemajority.com/index.asp This is a great website. I just sent several faxes and emails. "This free site operates on the principle that millions of citizens feel strongly about the same issues, but lack the time to take action to support them. True Majority users, who agree on 10 basic principles, are periodically sent e-mails that give them the opportunity to send a fax to their congressmen with a single click. Those principals include championing human rights, ending American dependence on oil, renouncing the militarization of space, and getting the money out of politics. 'There are at least 50 million people who agree with us about these principles,' Cohen told PRWeek, 'but in the age before the internet, if you were concerned as an individual, it was impossible for you to be involved. True Majority takes advantage of the political potential of the internet.'"
I was off today, thank God... and Satan! The last three days at work have sucked. I did very little today. I woke up at about 11:00, and my mom, my sister and I watched The Two Towers, because they hadn't seen it yet. Then Daniel called to ask if I wanted to play Halo with him and several other people from work, so I did. This time we played at Phillip's apartment. It was me, Daniel, Olivia, Phillip, Crystal, and Murray. We played from about 2:30 to 6:30, well, I did anyway. They said they were going to be playing until probably midnight, but I didn't want to spend the whole day there. Then I went home, and later me and my sister played Soul Caliber II, which she got as an early birthday present. Then I watched TV for a while. Then I downloaded porn while listening to a couple of my Dr. Demento tapes, which I am still listening to right now. I still haven't been able to get that other tape out of my car radio. Well, it's about time for bed. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/09/i-was-off-today-thank-god.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106248190325798011
Dammit! My car tape player ate one of my Dr. Demento tapes! And the best one too, this one was full of hard to find songs, such as the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy song about Marvin the Paranoid Android, Marvin I Love You. I also can't figure out how I'm gonna get the tape out of the tape player, since you can't really get inside a car tape player to untangle the tape and get it out. I gotta get ready for work now, we're going to be short handed tonight, since we still haven't been able to hire anybody. I just hope it's not as busy tonight, it's labor day weekend, so we might be, but its also raining all day, so it might not be as busy. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/08/dammit-my-car-tape-player-ate-one-of.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106235298724203713
Man, tonight was extremely busy at work. I've been home for an hour and a half and I'm still worn out. We made almost $900 tonight, breakfast shift barely makes that much anymore. That is extremely busy for night shift. And most of that was made in the space of about three hours. I guess it's because it's Labor Day weekend. Tomorrow will probably be even busier, because there's an OU football game. Though it's supposed to be raining really heavily the next day or two, so maybe that will cut the business down a little tomorrow. I hope so, because I go in at two tomorrow. It's bad enough working that long
shift even when it's not incredibly busy. We got lots of idiots tonight too, a lot of teenagers. This one car full of teenagers came through drive through, and every time I'd open the window to take their money or give them their change or food, one of the guys in the backseat would start yelling "PENIS!" at the top of his lungs, over and over. I hate people. I'd write more, but I'm too damn tired. I should go to bed. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/08/man-tonight-was-extremely-busy-at-work.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106222403085856915

4.. High-tech computers, such as those used by NASA, the CIA, or some such governmental institution, have easy-to-understand graphical interfaces. 5.. Those that don't, will have incredibly powerful text-based command shells that can correctly understand and execute commands typed in plain English. 6.. Corollary: You can gain access to any information you want by simply typing "ACCESS ALL OF THE SECRET FILES" on any keyboard. 7.. Likewise, you can infect a computer with a destructive virus by simply typing "UPLOAD VIRUS." Viruses cause temperatures in computers, just like they do in humans. After a while, smoke billows out of disk drives and monitors. 8.. All computers are connected. You can access the information on the villain's desktop computer, even if it's turned off. 9.. Powerful computers beep whenever you press a key or whenever the screen changes. Some computers also slow down the output on the screen so that it doesn't go faster than you can read. The *really* advanced ones also emulate the sound of a dot-matrix printer as the characters come across the screen. 10.. All computer panels have thousands of volts and flash pots just underneath the surface. Malfunctions are indicated by a bright flash, a puff of smoke, a shower of sparks, and an explosion that forces you backward. (See #7, above) 11.. People typing away on a computer will turn it off without saving the data. 12.. A hacker can get into the most sensitive computer in the world before intermission and guess the secret password in two tries. 13.. Any PERMISSION DENIED has an OVERRIDE function. 14.. Complex calculations and loading of huge amounts of data will be accomplished in under three seconds. In the movies, modems transmit data at two gigabytes per second. 15.. When the power plant/missile site/whatever overheats, all the control panels will explode, as will the entire building. 16.. If you display a file on the screen and someone deletes the file, it also disappears from the screen. There are no ways to copy a backup file and there are no undelete utilities. 17.. If a disk has got encrypted files, you are automatically asked for a password when you try to access it. 18.. No matter what kind of computer disk it is, it'll be readable by any system you put it into. All application software is usable by all computer platforms. 19.. The more high-tech the equipment, the more buttons it has. However, everyone must have been highly trained, because the buttons aren't labelled. 20.. Most computers, no matter how small, have reality-defying three-dimensional, real-time, photo-realistic animated graphics capability. 21.. Laptops, for some strange reason, always seem to have amazing real-time video phone capabilities and the performance of a CRAY-MP. 22.. Whenever a character looks at a VDU, the image is so bright that it projects itself onto his/her face. 23.. Computers never crash during key, high-intensity activities. Humans operating computers never make mistakes under stress. Modems never hang up. 24.. Programs are fiendishly perfect and never have bugs that slow down users. X (For X-Files). The most popular computer in the world is Macintosh. ...and not a single word about "Bad Command or File Name", "NO CARRIER" or "(A)bort, (R)etry, (F)ail?" Here's a contribution of my own.

At work today Alicia told me that she laughed so hard she almost fell out of her chair when she read my post about how I was arguing with the song on The Queen of the Damned. Is it just me, or did that sentence feel really awkward? It also could've used a comma somewhere. And "awkward," is that spelled right? It looks wrong. Ironically, it looks awkward. Tonight at work was fun, we all kept making fun of Daniel. It was pretty slow, so for like an hour we just all stood around talking about Freddy vs. Jason, and all the other Freddy or Jason movies. Daniel explained the plot to every Jason movie there is, which was cool for me, because I've never seen any of the Friday the 13th movies. I've only seen a couple of the Nightmare on Elm Street movies. I'm not a big fan of horror movies. After that me and Daniel talked about Star Trek for about half an hour. I used to be a huge Star Trek fan, but I don't watch it much now. Mainly because I've seen every episode the The Next Generation several times. It was my favorite series. So much for going to bed early. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/08/at-work-today-alicia-told-me-that-she.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106170743324949718
Tomorrow I plan on finally getting around to creating a web page about Mike Jittlov and The Wizard of Speed and Time. This is something I've been planning on doing for a long time. It's one of the best movies ever, but most people have never even heard of it. I'm not gonna talk about it right now though. If you're interested in it, check out the web page when I get it made. I'm extremely tired today. I haven't been sleeping well the last few nights. For some reason the last two or three hours I try to sleep in the morning I wake up like every 10 or 15 minutes. And for the short time I am asleep, I have really weird dreams every time I go back to sleep. Those weird, restless dreams that leave you more tired than you were when you went to sleep. So anyway, I'm gonna go to bed a little early. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/08/why-fuck-do-my-hands-smell-like.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106170406466761524
Well, looks like the world lucked out with that computer virus. See the previous post. It links to a site telling about how that big computer virus going around, SoBig.f, was supposed to enter its second phase today, and do who knows what. Here's a post made to alt.slack telling about how this plan was thwarted. Very weird stuff.
Subject: SoBig.F gunned down by Agent Smith From: "Rev. Ivan Stang" stang@subgenius.com Date: Fri, Aug 22, 2003 2:59 PM Message-id: <220820031559564302%stang@subgenius.com> F-Secure Virus Descriptions Radar Alert LEVEL 1 NAME: Sobig.F ALIAS: W32/Sobig.F@mm THIS VIRUS IS RANKED AS LEVEL 1 ALERT UNDER F-SECURE RADAR. For more information, see: http://www.F-Secure.com/products/radar/ A new variant of Sobig, known as Sobig.F was first found on August 19th, 2003 and it is spreading in the wild. Sobig.F activates on Friday the 22nd of August at 19:00 UTC. For information on this, please see: http://www.f-secure.com/news/items/news_2003082200.shtml ((Stang note: to make a long story short, at 3 pm EST this virus was supposed to cause all infected devices to connect to one of 20 "INFECTED SUPER MONSTER SERVERS," which the fiendish hackers had prepped in advance, theoretically in secret, and then... DO SOMETHING... but The Man was onto them, and in a suspiciously Made-for-TV-style last-minute showdown, all but one of the hapless patsy virtual Lee Harvey Oswald servers was pinned down and disabled, and it finally went down in a blaze of gunfire. Again, we suspect that the actual fiend behind this attack was none other than the shadowy figure known variously as "The Disk Doctor" and "Norton." The Man, however, is blaming "organized crime.")) Update on 16:00 UTC F-Secure can confirm that 18 of the 20 master servers are currently down or unreachable. Update on 17:00 UTC F-Secure can confirm that 17 of the 20 master servers are currently down. Apparently one of the machines was not disconnected by an ISP and has been booted up by its owner. We're working together with CERTs, FBI and Microsoft to stop the last three. Update on 18 UTC F-Secure can confirm that ALL the master server machines are currently down or unreachable. One of them seems to still respond to PING but not
to 8998 UDP. We have one hour to go to see if this really is the case. Update on 18:20 UTC Unfortunately one server is up right now after all. And one might be enough for the attack to start succesfully. Update on 19:00 UTC When deadline for the attack was passed, one machine was still (somewhat) up. However, immediatly after the deadline, this machine (located in the USA) was totally swamped under network traffic. We've tried connecting to it, just like the virus does. We do this from three different sensors from three different machines in three different countries. We haven't been able to connect to it once. If we can't connect, neither can the viruses. So the attack failed. Whoa. We'll keep monitoring until 23:00 UTC. If we're not able to connect once, we can safely say that the attack was prevented.

Damn. Because of all the times I mentioned Smurfs in that http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0312911734/qid%3D1061578541/sr%3D11-1/ref %3Dsr%5F11%5F1/103-6610881-3838241 book, the google generated ads at the top of the page keep giving links to Smurfs websites. And, for some reason, Betty Boop. I hate Betty Boop almost as much as Smurfs. Well, now that I've mentioned them both several times in one post, it's definitely going to provide links to them. Those links can be cool sometimes, but other times they can be really annoying. Sometimes it'll be like "What? Why the hell is it giving links to that? I've never even mentioned that." Like for the last week or two on http://www.stuffexplodes.blogspot.com site, the links have all been about deer hunting and first aid supplies for some reason. "8 Legged Freaks" is on again. I've still never seen the very beginning though, both times I've seen it, I've turned it on at the same exact part of the movie. My mom's actually watching it today, though she's cringing the entire time. She says she hates it when the spiders jump.

There's a cat that hangs out in our parking lot at work all night. It sleeps in the flower beds, jumps in people's open car windows and prowls around in their cars, and sits out in the parking lot meowing at me. People feed it and stuff, but it pretty much feeds itself on bugs. Every summer we have two or three cats that sit around at night eating the bugs that swarm under the big parking lot lights. Last night the cat was walking through the parking lot, and I was yelling at it. I said "No kitty! Stop assassinating Kennedy! That's a bad kitty!" It just meowed. This is pretty funny:

Well, I finished reading "The Black Hole of Carcosa" already. It was only 184 pages, and only took me about three or four hours to read. It was pretty cool, especially the parts with Stang, "Bob," and Jesus, which unfortunately wasn't as much as I had hoped. "Bob" and Stang were only in the book from page 130 to 156. the Fightin' Jesus was only in one little scene, but it was really cool. They prayed to the Fightin' Jesus, and he descended from heaven in an elevator, and stepped out with a cigar clenched between his teeth, and shot everyone with a machine gun, and then went back to heaven. The smurf massacre scene was a little different than I had been told, for example, "Bob," Stang and Jesus weren't even in the book yet, it was just the main character, Kamus. And it wasn't really a "Bloody massacre." An army of dwarves and smurfs surrounded Kamus, and he used magic to turn the dwarves into hideous cannibal trolls, which then ate the smurfs, but it didn't really describe it much, it just stated that the smurfs got eaten. It was still a pretty cool book. I also watched "Maybe Logic" yesterday. It was great. Yesterday was a great day. Because of the book and the movie, but it was also great at work. The first reason work was cool yesterday is that the new woman we hired never showed up and got fired, so I didn't have to train her. I hate training people. But the best thing that happened yesterday was that James got fired. I HATE JAMES! He annoyed everyone, they were just looking for a reason to fire him. The managers had been trying to hire some people
so they could cut his hours or fire him. I'm tired. I have to go to work later. Luckily I don't go in until 4:00, and I work the lobby tonight, instead of drive-through, and I usually get done with the lobby really quick, and they send me home early, if it's not busy. I've got a headache.

Great day for me, for upon getting home from work, I discovered that I had a MAILBOX FULL OF FUN! Man, I'm gonna have to start a band, just so I can call it "Mailbox Full of Fun," or maybe something besides "Fun," but Mailbox Full of ANYTHING would make a cool band name. Anyway. I got home from work and all the things I had ordered recently had come in today. First off, a book. A very hard to find book. John Shirley's "Black Hole of Carcosa," of which there are not very many copies left. This is a very weird sci-fi book, and though I've never read it, I've heard it is AMAZING! It must be cool, because it features such Church of the SubGenius personalities as Ivan Stang, the Fightin' Jesus, and "Bob" himself! PRAISE "BOB!" One scene in the book features "Bob" and Jesus engaging in the BLOODY MASSACRE OF HUNDREDS OF SMURFS! Oh man, I can't wait to read this. But perhaps even better than that, my copy of the DVD of Robert Anton Wilson's new movie "Maybe Logic" came in. I can't wait to watch it. The package alone is amazing! Since it's a two disc set, the case is one of those ones that fold out a couple of times, and it's held closed with a black, heavy-duty rubberband with "Maybe Logic" printed on it. The case on the outside is black, with some kind of city street map faintly printed on it. The map is backwards, but several words are printed large and turned the right way, these are "Santa Cruz", "Twin Lakes State Beach", and "Capitola," and then there's a big eye-inthe-pyramid on the top center of the box, above the title. The inside of the case has pictures of various letters and documents, such as letters from Timothy Leary. The movie also came with a high quality business card, which is adorned with a couple of fancy symbols and states "The bearer of this card is a genuine and authorized TSAR. Like what you want, enjoy what you enjoy, and don't take crap from anybody. Genuine and authorized by the House of Apostles of Eris. Every man and woman is a tsar. Reproduce and distribute this card freely -- Maybe Logic Head Temple, Republic of California." I'm gonna be really busy the next few days. Busy having FUN! "Stop Thinking. Accept "Bob." Exterminate Normals. Amen." posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/08/great-day-for-me-for-upon-getting-home.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106127218112218890
Ok, call me sick or whatever, but this story made me laugh. Especially the part where dozens of children had to get therapy. MULLET OF DEATH! http://www.heraldnet.com/Stories/03/8/17/17355931.cfm LANGLEY -- A man working on a carnival ride at the Island County Fair was killed Saturday after a roller coaster pulled him into the air by his hair and then dropped him from as high as 40 feet onto a fence. The accident happened on what is traditionally the busiest day of the fair at one of its most populated locations, said Island County Sheriff Mike Hawley. "There were literally hundreds of people who were right there, and there were at least a dozen people" on the ride, Hawley said. He said dozens of children and adults were treated for shock after watching the accident. Doug McKay, 40, of Post Falls, Idaho, was apparently lubricating the track of the doughnut-shaped Super Loop 2 roller coaster ride when his long hair was caught by the cable that supports the ride, said Jan Smith, a spokeswoman for the Island County Sheriff's Department. McCay was pulled 25 to 40 feet into the air and then fell, landing on his lower back on a fence, she said. "He appears to have died immediately on impact," Smith said. Twelve-year-old Dylan Volz was on the ride when the accident occurred, and said that it looked to him like McKay was caught by his arm, not his hair. "He was leaning out and spraying WD-40 or something when he got hit," said Dylan, who said he saw McKay put lubricant on the machine several times before dodging away just before one of the ride's cars went by. "I saw him get pulled up and dropped." Once the ride stopped, Dylan said he got off as fast as he could. "I just put my hands up over my eyes and walked away," he said. "No one should have to see that." He said he and the other kids on the ride talked to counselors after they got off the ride, and added that it helped quite a bit.
"I had a lot of people ask me if I was OK," he said. McKay was co-owner of Paradise Amusements, a Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, company that has been traveling to festivals for more than 40 years. The company offers rides ranging from Tilt-A-Whirl to Paratrooper to an old-fashion Ferris wheel. In an apparent bid to keep the family business alive, McKay had recently taken over the company from his father, Robert McKay, who had just retired. Other witnesses said Doug McKay's death was hard to take for Island County carnival workers and fairgoers alike. Grethe Cammermeyer, a former Vietnam War nurse who was at the fair to staff the county's Democratic Party booth, said she arrived at just after the accident. One of the first things she saw was a grief-stricken carnival worker who said he was operating the Super Loop 2 ride when McKay died. He told Cammermeyer he had just watched his best friend die. Cammermeyer said she also met up with some of the kids who were on the roller coaster when the accident happened. "To have it witnessed by young kids out to have a good time is something that they will never, ever, ever forget," she said. "One girl was just devastated. She used my cell phone to call her dad." Craig Brant, also working the Democrats' booth, said he didn't see the accident. But when he left the fairgrounds to go home, there was a group of uniformed carnival workers "huddled in the parking lot." "Some of them were crying," Brant said. "They said their boss had been killed. And all the rides were stopped and shut down." Hawley said his office is conducting an investigation on the accident, and said the state Department of Labor and Industries is also investigating. The carnival was closed after the accident, and there was no word on whether the rides would run again today. Although live music and other activities around the carnival were shut down for four hours on Saturday, Hawley said fair organizers told him that all noncarnival activities would continue today, the last day of the fair. Cammermeyer said the fairgrounds were quiet for most of the day, but that festivities had started to pick up again by 8 p.m. "It's more than a little eerie," she said. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/08/ok-call-me-sick-or-whatever-but-this.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106122897248120594

Cool, Marilyn Manson is on Conan O'Brian. He was talking about breast-feeding his cat. With his breast. Then he put lipstick on Conan. I had fun last night at Daniel's. Video games, pizza, and beer. I really need to get out and do stuff like that more often. I was there until almost 2:00 AM. I think my alarm clock is broken. Either that or I'm just turning it off without waking up. It hasn't gotten me up in two days. I had it set for 7:00 AM yesterday because I had to get up and take my antibiotics for my toe, but it didn't go off. My mom woke me up at about 7:30 though. Then I went back to bed and set my alarm for 10:00, and it didn't go off then either. It didn't go off this morning at 10:00 either. I've checked, I've got it set right, the alarm is turned on and everything. Man, I'm tired today. I have to work today, but at least I don't have to go in until 4:00.

Seen in a post on the alt.slack newsgroup: "I froze my Han Solo action figure in a block of ice once so I could do the frozen thing like in the movie. Although I also did the cover Boba Fett (or whatever his bloody name is) in petrol and set him on fire thing, and I don't remember that bit from any of the films." Also from that same newsgroup:
Subject: unlike Gargoyle, I don't need email for 'very dark' spells... From: electricwalnut23@yahoo.com (theoneflasehaddock) Date: Tue, Aug 5, 2003 10:36 PM Message-id: this is not for the faint of breath. do not read if easily intimidated by extraterrestrial hallucinations. please do not use this ritual as toilet paper. all punctuation and grammer is impersonated... poorly. Do not attempt this ritual alone, with clothes on, or in a crowded supermarket. Allow six to eight weeks for delivery. Remember, all sales are final. 1. prepare a package of lime green jello 2. find a banana 3. shrink the banana by getting it wet and running it through the dryer 4. chant "shrunken banana, shrub niggurath, lime green jello, yog sothoth, ctulhu ftaghn 5. dance naked around a fire 6. have sex with something. preferably something of your own species, and not some kind of overweight rodent that has been fattenned for months for slaughter, butchering, and cooking. The rodent won't be used until later. 7. run outside and 'water' a neighbor's shrubbery 8. go eat the lime green jello, while chanting "shrunken banana, shrub niggurath, lime green jello, yog sothoth, ctulhu ftaghn" 9. call someone on the phone. randomly. Invite them over for naked dancing, chanting, and a bite of jello. Don't mention the rodent, because that's just plain sick. 10. Repeat step nine. this time record it, so you can have a good laugh later on, after you've been rejected yet again. Or, if someone says yes, invite them over. Anyone willing to dance naked and eat lime green jello in front of a stranger has got to be quite interesting. Be sure and give them all the information they need, such as directions to your house, how to get to the backyard without stepping on the shrubbery that has been watered, your credit card number, and a phony name. 11. dance naked with them. shove the jello somewhere interesting, and lick it off. Be sure and keep the rodent tied up, so that it doesn't lick the jello off first, unless the person is really ugly, in which case you should allow the rodent to lick it, while muttering something about human-rat hybrids that can spray lime green jello out of their nose when they laugh. 12. Try and persuade them not to call the cops. Offer them the banana. 13. give up on them, and go back to the banana. 14. slowly kill the banana, while posting about it to rec.miniatures.games.warhammer 15. do some more chanting. Go for a run around the block, naked, waving the shrunken banana, and chanting. 16. put a sock on the banana, and hang it up to dry 17. as the banana dries, you will have good luck trolling. 18. try and x-post to alt.timothy.sutter, but leave the poor rodent out of it. 19. take the rest of the jello, smear it on yourself, and then hop around naked like a frog. try and do this for at least a mile or two. 20. post information on how it went. We'll be ready to read it. We're all gonna laugh at you.
Well, I was wishing I had something to do today, and now I do. I'm going over to Daniel's house in a couple of hours, and me, him, and another guy from
work are gonna play Halo. Today's been a pretty wasted day. First I overslept, it was almost noon before I woke up. Then I went to work to get my paycheck, and ended up being there for about an hour, because the checks hadn't come in yet for some reason. Then I went to Wal-Mart. And now I'm here. Man, why does it feel so hot in here, the thermometer says it's only 73. I just downloaded this cool thing that makes it much easier to post links to my website. Now whenever I find a cool site, I just click this button, and it automatically posts a link to that site here. Well, that's it for now. I'll probably write more later. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/08/seen-in-post-on-alt.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106089834500428315
Hmmm, I don't really have anything to write about. I'm off tomorrow, so I'll probably write a post or two tomorrow. Other than that, I don't know what I'm gonna do tomorrow. Probably sit around playing Knights of the Old Republic for about eight hours. That's how I've spent all of my days off lately. Maybe the movie I ordered will finally come in tomorrow. It's a movie about Robert Anton Wilson called "Maybe Logic." Have you seen that new anime on Cartoon Network, "FLCL," also called "Fooly Cooly?" I love that show, even though it's kinda confusing. The music rules too. Too bad the show is only six episodes long. I think I'm gonna order the DVDs of the show from http://www.discountanimedvd.com Not right now, but sometime soon. At the moment I don't have $80 to blow like that. I have to pay my car insurance tomorrow. They raised the price again too, now it's $400.

Here's some more song lyrics. This song is even cooler than the one I posted earlier. It's another one by Evanescence, and, once again, it's a slow sad song. I know of at least one person for whom these lyrics will really mean something. My Immortal i'm so tired of being here suppressed by all of my childish fears and if you have to leave i wish that you would just leave because your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone these wounds won't seem to heal this pain is just too real there's just too much that time cannot erase when you cried i'd wipe away all of your tears when you'd scream i'd fight away all of your fears and i've held your hand through all of these years

Hooray! No more Lupin III on Cartoon Network! They took it off and put Cowboy Bebop back on. Or I guess they did, that's the way it was last night. I bought the Evanescence cd the other day, it rocks. I think this is the only cd I own that I like every single song on it. Even on the best cds there's at least one song I don't like that much. I do usually skip the second track on this cd, that song from the Daredevil movie, but not because I don't like it, just because I've heard it ten million times and am getting sick of it. It's like the only song they play on the radio anymore. One time I was flipping through the stations, and three of the four stations I have programmed into the buttons on my car radio were playing the song at the same time. It's a cool song, but I'm just sick of hearing it. Work sucks, I hate work, I have to get ready in just a few minutes. At least I don't have to work with Ashley tonight, I hate her, everyone hates her. I have to work with her tomorrow night though. I worked with Bonita last night. She's cool. She gave me this tiny little rubber frog she got from some vending machine or something. She said she'd been trying to give it away for a couple of days, but no one would take it. It's really tiny, barely half an inch long, but really detailed, it's kinda cool. My mom saw one of those tv commercials for Zoloft, or one of those depression medicines. It was all talking about Social Anxiety Disorder, and so now she's figured out that that's what's wrong with me, even though I've been saying that for years. I know that's what's wrong with me. So now she's trying to get me to go get some medication for it. But I don't want medication for it, that's why I never went to the psychiatrist years ago like I had been planning, I knew they'd just give me pills. I don't want to take pills, I shouldn't have to take pills just to live a normal life like everyone else, I should be able to do it on my own. Actually I have been thinking about it though, I've got to do something. I can't live like this much longer, I have to do something about it. Cool, The Fifth Element is on. That's one of my favorite movies. I have it on tape and have seen it dozens of times. Mila Jovovich is hot. Here's the lyrics to one of my favorite songs from the Evanescence cd, it's a slower song, not a rock song like the others. It's called Hello. playground school bell rings again rain clouds come to play again has no one told you she's not breathing? hello i'm your mind giving you someone to talk to hello if i smile and don't believe soon i know i'll wake from this dream don't try to fix me i'm not broken hello i'm the lie living for you so you can hide don't cry suddenly i know i'm not sleeping hello i'm still here all that's left of yesterday woof... posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/08/hooray-no-more-lupin-iii-on-cartoon.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=106071178154461906

Well, no work for me today after all, or tomorrow either. I went to the doctor this morning and he went ahead and cut out my ingrown toenails, so I have to stay off them, and not wear shoes for a couple of days. I was actually hoping this would happen. You know you hate your job when you'd rather have your toenails cut off than go to work. The worst part of the procedure was the anasthesia shots. They gave me two shots in each toe, right in the knuckle of the toe, it hurt like hell. Well, I'm gonna go now, I'm watching Star Wars. Man, Luke sure is a whiny little bitch in the beginning.

Well, I didn't get to go to the doctor today. They said they were all booked up for the day. But I have an appointment for tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM, which means I'm going to have to get up at like 7:30. Fuck, that's early, and then I have to work a nine and a half hour shift at work. It's too damn hot in here. Even with the AC running all day it's still 80 degrees in the house, at 9:00 PM. I just got done playing Knights of the Old Republic for about 7 hours. I love that game. Cool, a show is coming on on the Discovery Channel all about what the Earth would be like if it had no moon. And it's narrated by Patrick Stewart from Star Trek.

I only saw it once, but it's the coolest commercial ever made. A very long download, but well worth it. http://uberkinder.5u.com/paul/ Back in the 60s when the Beatles' album Abbey Road came out, people claime dthat the cover image contained symbols that meant that Paul McCartney was dead, many people actually believed this. Here are some people who still believe it. They say that Paul McCartney died in 1966 and was replaced by a look-alike, who, to this day, is still pretending to be Paul McCartney. They offer forensic evidence to back up their claims, and, I hate to say it, but some of their arguments actually raise some good points. http://www.noveltynet.org/content/paranormal/www.brotherblue.org/brethren/ceto.htm A true sign of the end times.

This site was created back in 1998/99, when I was 18, and going through my goth/suicidal/manic-depressive stage, and hasn't been updated in about 4 years. Unfortunately most of the links and graphics don't work anymore. I really must go back and fix it some time, as it was a pretty cool site, especially the graphics, most of which were made by me. The Johnny the Homicidal Maniac/Johnen Vasquez fan site was especially cool, and, at that time, was one of the biggest and best of the relatively few JTHM fan sites. Unfortunately, this area of the site has suffered the biggest casualties, and hardly any of it works. Still, you should check out this area if you are a fan Johnen Vasquez (the guy who went on to make Invader Zim). At the very least you should go to this site and check out my story "The World Collapsed Early Sunday Morning." Which is probably the best thing I've ever written. And, if I remember correctly, was one of the last things I was ever able to write. Looking back at this old site reminds me of the way my writing and verbal skills used to be, before they stagnated. It took me almost two hours to write this post.

I had to train the new girl (Bonita) at work yesterday, but it wasn't that bad. In fact, she was pretty cool. We actually got along with each other, most of the new employees are about half-scared of me. She was also a good worker, she got the hang of things quickly, and seemed very eager to do her job and do it correctly. She kept wanting me to find her more work to do. Well, I'm gonna go now.

I was just looking over the statistics for my web page counter thing, and noticed that several people got here through a link from someone else's webpage. I checked out the webpage, and, sure enough, there's a link to my site. Though I've never heard of the person, or their website. I looked it over a little, and it seemed like it might be interesting, so I'm returning the favor, by linking to their website, http://www.zulkey.com/diary_archive_072503.html What's weird is that they were talking about Circle K stores, and the words "Circle K" were linked, not to a website actually about Circle K, but to my site. I'm glad I found this though, now I have some proof that people have seen my site. I mean, I know my counter says I get 60 - 70 hits a week (this week I have over 80 already), but so far I've never heard from any of them, I don't know who any of them are. This site has been up for almost a year, and gets lots of visitors, but so far I've not gotten even one email about it. Email me, dammit!

This is the greatest thing ever. http://homepages.nildram.co.uk/%7Eblagger/the_duel.html A flash movie that starts out with a squirrel and a penguin doing the whole "Dueling Banjos" routine. Then (while dueling banjos continues to play) it changes to scenes of the Dukes of Hazzard in their car chasing some pigs, while they are being chased by the cops. Then it ends with some chickens in Ku Klux Klan hoods around a burning KFC sign, instead of a burning cross. I just had a horrible thought. Those chickens are probably called the "Ku Clucks Klan." That's a horrible pun, and I have to go hurt myself now. Preacher: I haven't seen you in church lately. Woman: Well, there's just so many hypocrites there anymore.

"Aggression is simply another name for government. Aggression, invasion, government are interchangeable terms. The essence of government is control, or the attempt to control. he who attempts to control another is a governor, an aggressor, an invader; and the nature of such invasion is not changed, whether it be made by one man upon another man, after the manner of the ordinary criminal, or by one man upon all other men, after the manner of an absolute monarch, or by all other men upon one man, after the manner of a modern democracy." -- Benjamin Tucker posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/07/tonight-at-work-daniel-got-telephone.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105945233458617152
This is pretty funny, I got this here http://www.brunching.com/cgi/blankanonymous.cgi. It gives you the form and you can type in whatever you want, instead of "ham." Do you have a problem with ham? Only you can answer that question for yourself. However, taking the following quiz may help to put your relationship to ham in perspective for you. If you end up answering "yes" to three or more questions, you may want to take a good look how your life is affected by ham. 1. Have you missed classes or work because of ham? 2.

Wow, I knew I wrote lots of posts, and that they are often pretty long, especially when compared to lots of other blogs I have read, where the average post is one or two sentences, but I just checked, and if I printed out all the posts that are on this page right now, (all the posts from the last seven days) it would take 23 pages. | Everything in this box is false | posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/07/wow-i-knew-i-wrote-lots-of-posts-and.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105928303399192479
My books came in! Hooray! I can't wait to read Prometheus Rising but I'm making myself finish the book I'm reading now, Quest for Cthulhu, first. Luckily I should be able to finish it in a couple of days. I'm off tomorrow, but I probably wont get to read much tomorrow. I'm gonna have to spend the day filling out forms. I finally heard from the prison about the job I was hoping to get. I go in for a final interview Friday, but before that I have to fill out this big-ass stack of papers. It's like a 15 page application. Then to make it worse, I also today got another one from the other prison building. There's two buildings, there's the prison, and then there's the detention center thing, where prisoners go right after they're arrested, before they get assigned to a specific prison. If I want to
apply for both of these places, I have to fill out the 15 page application thing TWICE. Once for each prison. Well, I'm gonna go read some, then go to bed. Every fact of science was once Damned.

Bound for Van Dieman's Land I'll ne'er forget when first we met The years were long and lean A war did rage upon the stage And the ships sailed on the sea It's true to say life's but a play you play that's been well-planned We play our roles like poor lost souls Bound for Van Dieman's Land Bound for Van Dieman's Land brave boys Far, far across the sea If you don't stand with cap in hand Transported you will be And as we sail blows wild the gale Dark shadows guard the grill They try in vain our minds to chain Our thoughts of freedom kill And as we sulk in convict ---------Shackled feet and hand But men be free who poachers be Bound for Van Dieman's Land
Bound for Van Dieman's Land brave boys Far, far across the sea If you don't stand with cap in hand Transported you will be In East or West, man's but a jest For freedom's free for all You're free to die, but don't ask why When blows the bugle call Their heartless lips, build convict ships With Blye still in command Their ships today still plow their way Bound for Van Dieman's Land Bound for Van Dieman's Land brave boys Far, far across the sea If you don't stand with cap in hand Transported you will be "Conversion... consists of pounding one's own words into a man's ears until they start coming out of his mouth." -- The Dealy Lama. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/07/heres-really-cool-song-i-found-online.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105894064783382100

Here's an even better article about Emperor Norton, from http://www.emperornorton.com/mod/abouten.shtml Joshua Abraham Norton, America's first and only Emperor, was born in London, England on February 14, 1819. Details of his early life are rather sketchy-almost all that's really known is that his family moved to Algoa Bay in South Africa during his infancy, where his father prospered as a merchant. It isn't until his arrival in San Francisco aboard the Dutch schooner Franzika in 1849 that the record begins to fill in. Norton came to America with a nest egg of thirty thousand dollars, with which he opened a business selling supplies to gold miners, and set about buying up the land that would eventually become San Francisco's Cow Hollow district. By 1855, Norton was one of the most respected businessmen in San Francisco, having rebounded from the fire of 1853 and profitably diversified his operations. Already his friends were referring to him as "Emperor." It was at this time that he hit on the bold idea of attempting to corner San Francisco's rice market--the city's large immigrant Chinese population providing a captive and hungry market, at a time when the only way rice (or almost anything else) arrived was aboard cargo steamships. Investors were quick to sign on, and in a matter of days Norton owned, practically speaking, all the rice in San Francisco. For the first few days it looked like yet another daring success for the Emperor, when two ships, well ahead of schedule and brimming with rice, steamed lazily through the Golden Gate. One shipment he might have been able to buy up as well; two was a backbreaker, and in a matter of minutes Norton was ruined. He spent the next three years in court, and emerged penniless in 1858. Packing together his meager belongings, Norton disappeared for about nine months; no record tells where he went. He returned suddenly in the late summer of 1859, proudly walking the streets in a beaver hat and naval regalia, arguably mad. By September, Emperor Norton was no longer able to contain his secret. He walked into the offices of the San Francisco Bulletin and presented them with this single sentence, which they ran on the next edition's front page: At the peremptory request of a large majority of the citizens of these United States, I, Joshua Norton, formerly of Algoa Bay, Cape of Good Hope, and now for the past nine years and ten months of San Francisco, California, declare and proclaim myself Emperor of these U. S., and in virtue of the authority thereby in me vested do hereby order and direct the representatives of the different States of the Union to assemble in Musical Hall of this city, on the 1st day of February next, then and there to make such alterations in the existing laws of the Union as may ameliorate the evils under which the country is laboring, and thereby cause confidence to exist, both at home and abroad, in our stability and integrity. Norton I Emperor of the United States September 17, 1859 That day people on the streets began greeting Norton with deep bows and curtsies. The tacit public acceptance was immediate and profound, and San Francisco had a wise and caring monarch to reign over its gilded age. Norton I ruled by proclamation, and it didn't seem to faze him if not all his edicts were carried out. If taxes or water rates were too high, he commanded that they be lowered; if there were inadequacies in city services, he ordered improvements. On the eve of the Civil War he temporarily dissolved the Union, and after the Prussian victory in 1872, he ordered a week of continuous celebration and thanksgiving. Bay Area newspapers competed for the honor of posting his proclamations, and more than once they devised fakes to generate sales and interest, a practice against which the Emperor railed angrily. Few monarchs ever had Norton's common touch; he abjured seclusion and luxury. He attended every public function or meeting, always arriving by foot or bicycle rather than coach, and performed daily rounds of his capital's streets, making sure the police were on their beats, and that cleanliness, harmony and order prevailed. If he noticed someone performing some kind act or other, he might spontaneously ennoble them, from which practice the expression "Queen for a day" was obtained. The titles were especially popular with children, who would follow him in groups, looking everywhere for litter to pick up or old ladies to help across the street. Norton's personal expenses were few. He ate free of charge at whatever restaurant suited him, had three seats reserved for him at every theatrical performance (one for himself and one each for his famously well-behaved dogs, Bummer and Lazarus); the city itself actually paid for his uniforms and the local Masonic Lodge paid for his small apartment. Nonetheless, whenever necessary, Norton had his own currency printed, which was accepted everywhere without question--at at time when U. S. paper money was still regarded with distrust in California. He also had the option of levying taxes, for which his normal procedure was to walk into the offices of an old business friend and politely announce an imperial assessment of ten million or so dollars, but could quickly be talked down to two or three, or perhaps a cigar, with which he would walk out entirely satisfied.
Still though, this isn't really legal, and feelings towards Norton I amongst the police were rather mixed. In January of 1867, in fact, he was arrested by an overzealous policeman "to be confined for treatment of a mental disorder," and held at the police station pending a hearing. The public outrage was immediate; every newspaper editorial denounced the action, and there was the real possibility of a riot. Chief of Police Patrick Crowley himself opened the cell doors, and issued a lengthy public apology to the Emperor. Norton was magnanimous about the whole affair, and from then on his relations with the police became much more congenial. He led their annual parades and inspected the new cadets; members of what he now called his Imperial Constabulary saluted him when he passed. Norton I was a great believer in progress and innovation, and many of the ideas for which he was sometimes regarded as mad have become realities. He issued numerous proclamations proposing and then finally commanding the construction of a suspension bridge linking San Francisco and Oakland, complete with his own design sketches. His planned San Francisco terminus is within a block of where the Bay Bridge abuts now, and a plaque on it bears testimony to his foresight. He was also convinced that travel by air would one day become common, and commissioned panels of researchers and designers to create plans for airships. The historical twilight of monarchy was gathering, however, and Norton made it part of his mission to restore whatever luster he could to it. He sent frequent cables to fellow rulers, offering surprisingly well-informed advice, or reflecting on the complex responsibilities of rulership. Many of the responses he got were in fact forgeries, created by his friends to make him happy, but many were not. King Kamehameha of Hawaii (known then as the Sandwich Isles) was so taken with the Emperor's insight and understanding that towards the end of his life he refused to recognize the U. S. State Department, saying he would deal only with representatives of the Empire. Norton I died quite suddenly of apoplexy, on January 8, 1880, on the corner of California and Grant, on his way to a scientific conference. He left no heir. San Francisco went into a period of deep mourning for three days. Ten thousand people, from every walk of life, lined up to view his mortal remains; his funeral cortege was two miles long. At 2:39 that day, during his funeral, San Francisco experienced a total eclipse of the sun. Fifty-four years later, Norton's coffin was reinterred at Woodlawn Cemetery in Colma--once again, flags throughout the city were lowered and businesses closed their doors. About sixty thousand people attended the ceremony, which was accompanied by full military honors and dolorous taps. Greater Poop: Is Eris true? Malaclyspe the Younger: Everything is true.

Proclamation Norton I, Dei Gratia, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico, being desirous of allaying the dissensions of party strife now existing within our realm, do hereby dissolve and abolish the Democratic and Republican parties, and also do hereby decree disfranchisement and imprisonment, for not more than ten nor less than five years, to all persons leading to any violation of this imperial decree. Norton I. Given at San Fransisco, Cal., this 12th day of August, A.D. 1869 Who was Emperor Norton? From "Illuminatus" by Robert Anton Wilson: "Joshua Norton, Emperor of the United States and Protector of Mexico. San Francisco is proud of him. He lived in the last century and got to be emperor by proclaiming himself as such. For some mysterious reason, the newspapers decided to humor him and printed his proclamations. When he started issuing his own money, the local banks went along with the joke and accepted it on par with U.S. currency. When vigilanties got into a lynching mood one night and decided to go down to Chinatown and kill some Chinese, Emperor Norton stopped them just by standing in the street with his eyes closed reciting the Lord's Prayer." From http://www.zpub.com/sf/history/nort.html : 1819 - Born in London, England on February 14 to John and Sarah Norton [John and Sarah married at Epping Essex u.k. June 30, 1793 and immigrated to S.Africa in 1820. Had two sons--Philip and Joshua - Source: Jos Driver, a decendent of Philip Norton] 1849 - Arrived in San Francisco from South Africa with US$40,000 1854 - Lost the considerable fortune he had built up in real-estate speculation by trying to corner the rice market in San Francisco 1859 September 17 - Issued the first of his now famous proclamations by proclaiming himself the Emperor of the United States Proclamations - He continued to make proclamations throughout his reign. These included commanding that the Golden Gate bridge be built and one about the name of the city, "Whoever after due and proper warning shall be heard to utter the abdominal word 'Frisco,' which has no linguistic or other warrant, shall be deemed guilty of a High Misdemeanor." Penalty for noncompliance was $25. Newspapers of the day printed his proclamations (and even made some up which were not from Norton!) Many of the "decrees" attributed to Norton I were fakes; written in jest by newspaper editors at the time for amusement, or for political purposes. Those "decrees" listed here were, we believe, actually issued by Norton. - Norton I, Emperor of the United States [sfmuseum.org] Norton Notes - In order to pay his bills he issued paper notes, mostly in 50 cent denominations but some $5 and $10 notes exist. Today they are worth far more than the face value (if they can be found).
Politics - In 1869 he abolished both the Democratic and Republican parties, declaring "Being desirous of allaying the dissension's of party strife now existing within our realm, [I] do hereby dissolve and abolish the Democratic and Republican parties, and also do hereby degree the disfranchisement and imprisonment, for not more than ten, nor less than five years, to all persons leading to any violation of this our imperial decree." --San Francisco Herald, August 4, 1869 Another time he called upon the other leaders of the world to join him in forming a League of Nations where disputes between nations could be resolved peacefully. 1880 - Died January 8, on California St. On January 10, he was buried in the Masonic Cemetery. The funeral cortege was two miles long - Between 10,000 and 30,000 people were reported to have attended. See: Le Roi Est Mort 1934 - Grave moved to Colma Cemetery. During his daily patrol of the streets of San Francisco Norton made certain that all sidewalks were unobstructed. He reviewed the police to see that they were on duty. He checked on the progress of needed street repairs, inspected buildings under construction, and in general saw to it that all office city's ordinances were enforced. "During one of the typical anti-Chinese demonstrations so common at the time, the emperor gave the local populace a lesson in the practical application of civics - and prayer. Sensing the dangerously heated tone of one particular meeting, Norton is reported to have stood up before the group, bowed his head and begun reciting the Lord's Prayer. within a few minutes the agitators retreated in shame without putting any of their threats into cruel action."

"I believe it was meant to be a place of life, not death," said Perks, who thinks Stonehenge overall represents an Earth Mother goddess. He explained that both western Neolithic cultures and the early Celts believed in such a goddess. Hundreds of figurines representing the idea of an Earth Mother, he said, have been found in Europe. They were created at a time when mortality at birth was high, suggesting Stonehenge could have been used for fertility ceremonies, which may have linked human birth to the birth of plants and animals upon which the people depended. John David North, professor of philosophy emeritus at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands, outlines another theory in his book "Stonehenge: A New Interpretation of Prehistoric Man and the Cosmos." North believes the stones in the monument have precise alignments to stars in the cosmos and that Stonehenge served as an astronomical observatory and a celestial map. While Perks acknowledges the celestial link, he views it in a different light. "At Stonehenge you see an arc of sky together with Earth on that open Salisbury Plain," Perks said. "It is as though Father Sun is meeting Earth Mother in an equal way at a place looking towards the future.

I have nothing to write about! All I've done the last three days is work. And nothing much has happened there, except one of the managers went on break and never came back, so he no longer works for us. I'm off the next two days (Sunday and Monday). I can already tell I'm gonna be bored. I can't think of anything to do on my two days off, so I guess I'll probably spend them like usual, sitting around the house and reading and stuff. Though I don't want to, I wish I had something to do. Maybe I'll go to the movies. Maybe I'll go see Johnny English or something. Too bad Alicia probably doesn't want to go too. I've hardly seen her or even talked to her online since Wednesday. I'd really like to talk to her, in person. Oh! This is so great! Mac has got this thing now where you can legally download MP3's for 99 cents a song now, and anyway, I just downloaded one of my most favorite songs ever! I've been wishing I had a recording of this song for years! It's that song "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" by The Proclaimers. That one that about "I would walk 500 miles, and I would walk 500 more..." I love this song! Seriously, this is possibly my most favorite song of all time.
Well, like I said, I don't really have anything much to write about, and it's 2:00 AM, so I'm gonna go to bed now, or something.

49.You keep a diary: This blog could be considered a diary, I guess. 50.You sketch or do things while on the phone: Once again, I hardly ever use the phone. And when I do use the phone, no, I don't doodle or anything. 51.You have a secret: God, yes. My whole life has been spent keeping secrets. Not that I want to, it's just that I can't tell people the things I want to tell them. 52.You snore: I honestly have no idea, since I sleep alone. 53.You procrastinate: Yes 54.You fold your underwear: Yes 55.You talk in your sleep: Once again, I have no idea. Not that I know of. 56.You eat fast: Yes 57.When the alarm goes off you immediately get up: I usually set my alarm for an hour or two ahead of when I want to get up, and when it goes off, I set it for the next hour, then I get up when it goes off the next time.. The main reason I do this is because I always seem to have the best, most vivid dreams when I go back to sleep after waking up. 58.You enjoy being photographed: Not really. I haven't really been photographed enough to know. Pretty much the only pictures of me that exist are school photos or baby pictures. 59.Birthstone: I don't know. I think it's aquamarine, or something like that. It's blue, is all I know. Does birthstone go by what month you're born in, or does it go by zodiac sign? If it's by sign, I guess my stone is Topaz, because that's what Alicia's is, and we are the same sign. But I didn't think that's what mine was. I don't know. 60.Right or Left Handed?: Right 61.Spouse or significant other: No 62.Parents -- married, divorced: Married. 63.Hobbies: Lots of reading, writing when I can - which isn't as much as I'd like, more reading, surfing the internet, video games, tv, movies, blah blah blah. 64.Eating Habits: I eat kind of a lot. And I eat lots of junk food. 65.Favorite candy: I don't eat much candy, usually candy bars when I do. 66.Favorite ice cream: I haven't really tried that many kinds. Probably either German Chocolate, Cookies and Cream, or Cherries and Cream, or whatever it's called. Hygiene Habits* 67.Shampoo used: Usually Flex or Pert. 68.Conditioner used: I usually don't use conditioner, though I sometimes use Pert, which is shampoo and conditioner in one. 69.Styling products used: None at all. I just wash my hair and comb it. 70.Deodorant brand and scent: Some deodorants make me break out after I use them for a few weeks. I usually use Arrid, right now I'm using Right Guard XTreme Sport Power Stripe (man, that's a long name). It works pretty good, and I'm not allergic to it. 71.Sing in the shower or not?: If there's no one else in the house. Which is almost never. I've never let anyone hear me sing. 72.Dress Habits: What the hell does that mean? I hate fashion, I don't care what's in. I couldn't wear it even if I did know, it wouldn't fit me. I buy whatever fits. Right now all my outfits are khakis and t-shirts. Almost all my clothes come from Wal-Mart. Well, lots of the shirts are from Hot-Topic. 73.Dress style: I don't know, I guess my answer for the above question should have went here. But then what does that question mean? *Miscellanous* 74.Assuming you have one, what's sitting on your computer monitor: Nothing. I have a flat screen LCD monitor, things can't sit on top of it. 75.Do you collect anything?: Not really. I guess I collect Yu-Gi-Oh cards, though not really, I'm not a collector as in knowing what they're all worth, or if they're rare or not. I don't really "collect" anything, but I hate throwing things away, I keep everything. I own lots of books, I guess that could be a collection. Though "collection" often implies some kind of theme. Such as collecting old books, or something like that. I just have a large library. 76.When you're jotting down notes, do you print or write?: When I write things I usually print, but if I'm having to take notes, and having to write really fast, I usually write, because it's faster. 77.When you doodle, what do you draw?: I usually just draw lines, connected at random places and angles, to see if any picture emerges. Peace won't come by words alone. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/07/heres-another-one-of-those-about-you.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105851007722340200
One of my favorite bands is Chumbawamba. They're the band that did that "Tubthumping" song that was so popular. But if that's the only song you've ever heard by them, you're really missing out, and you don't know what Cumbawamba is. That song is NOT very representitive of their usual musical style. There's a reason that that is pretty much the only Chumbawamba song that's ever been played on the U.S. radio. The only one I've ever heard, anyway. The reason is that their music is very political. They are anarchists, and their music usually reflects this. It is usually anti-government, but they are from England, so it's usually things to do with English politics, which is another reason they aren't very popular in America. The Tubthumper album as a whole wasn't very good for Chumbawamba, I really suggest you give their album, "WYSIWYG," or the album "Readymades" a listen. All their songs have a meaning, they are usually based on a certain event. The liner notes of their CDs usually feature not just the lyrics, but also essays on the meaning of the song. WYSIWYG featured an essay ranging from a few sentences to two or three paragraphs for each song. Readymades was a little more restrained, having only a sentence or two for each song. On both albums the essays made for pretty good reading, if you're into that kind of thing. Here are a few of my favorites from the album Readymades. Salt Fare, North Sea -- The British Navy, guardian of the seabound British establishment, almost became its destroyer when sailors demanded rights in the mutinies at Spithead and the Nore in 1797. Sailors were always the archetypal enemy within; the word strike comes from militant sailors tendency to strike the sails when warring with the Admiralty. Jacob's Ladder -- Political expediency versus class; Winston Churchill let 1591 ordinary sailors drown after their ships were sunk off the coast of Norway in WW2 by German battle cruisers. Churchill thought a rescue attempt might have alerted the Germans to the evacuation of the Norwegian royal family, so ordered ships in the area to abandon the drowning men. Todays footnote would be the sinking of the Russian Kursk submarine; sailors drowned as President Putin put national pride before the need to call in foreign rescue teams. Don't Try This at Home -- The global anti-capitalist movement reaches back to the late eighteenth century. In the back alleys of history, insurrection, like the common cold, spread quickly, inspired by the French and American revolutions: as the Sans Culottes garotted, British conspirators plotted. Don't Pass Go -- In 1986 Satpal Ram defended himself against a racist attack and his attacker died. Although he's served longer than his original sentence he's still locked up, still refusing the role of repentant convict, still maintaining that self-defence is a legitimate response to racism. One Way or the Other -- In 1986 Satpal Ram defended himself against a racist attack and his attacker died. Although he's served longer than his original sentence he's still locked up, still refusing the role of repentant convict, still maintaining that self-defence is a legitimate response to racism.
Sewing Up Crap -- The Factory Act of 1892 outlawed child labour. Behind the modern glass and chrome shopfronts of present-day capitalism are invisible sweatshops stitch-stitch-stitching the profits together; sweatshops employing child labour. This song ends with a vocal sample of a small child singing an old traditional english song about the harsh realities of child labor. The effect is very moving. The lyrics to this part are: "One up the chimney goes Two hawks a tray of matches Three braves the weaving floor All pray for the life of Four Five down the pit descends Six ploughs in fields and meadows Seven spins the handloom round Eight lies in th burial ground" After Shelley -- During the Irish potato famine of 1845, Londons Parliament decided who would eat and who would not; as over a million people starved to death, Irish crops were being exported to England. And now? Over twelve million children will die of poverty-related illness in 2002. Words based on a poem by Shelley. Without Rhyme or Reason (The Killing of Harry Stanley) -- On September 22 1999, an unarmed Harry Stanley was walking home when he was shot dead by an armed police response unit. Someone had rung the cops claiming that a man with an Irish accent - Harry was Scottish - was carrying a sawnoff shotgun in a plastic bag - the bag contained a table leg which needed mending. Harrys family are still pursuing the case. This is my favorite song of the album. I really love the vocal sample it opens with. An English man says, "It is a great thing that we have an unarmed police force in this country. It is perhaps an even greater thing that a force that is unarmed is able to shoot so many people" England has an unarmed police force. Only in the event of an emergency do they call for a back-up group of armed officers. But, somehow, this doesn't stop them from accidentally killing several innocent people a year. The lyrics to this song are also good: I wish, I wish, but its all in vain On hands and knees Floors like these Washing away Red from grey Hearts will ache Shotgun-shaped No remorse Of course, of course Of course theres an explanation Why you sing without reason or rhyme Without reason or rhyme Everyone Must be wrong This explains Where he lays Hearts can kill And they will Filed reports Of course, of course Of course theres an explanation Why you sing without reason or rhyme Without reason or rhyme Convictions cause convicts. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/07/one-of-my-favorite-bands-is.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105850678614251685

Jesus in the Bathroom A Sunday school teacher of pre-schoolers was concerned that his students might be a little confused about Jesus Christ. He wanted to make sure they understood that the birth of Jesus occurred a long time ago, that he grew up, etc. So he asked his class, "Where is Jesus today?" Steven raised his hand and said, "He's in heaven!" Mary was called on and answered, "He's in my heart!" Little Johnny, waving his hand furiously, blurted out, "I know! I know! He's in our bathroom!" The whole class got very quiet, looked at the teacher, and waited for a response. The teacher was completely at a loss for a few very long seconds. He finally gathered his wits and asked Little Johnny how he knew this. Little Johnny replied, "Well, every morning my father gets up, bangs on the bathroom door, and yells: 'Jesus Christ, are you still in there?'"

Here's an interesting thought, once again gleaned from the alt.slack newsgroup: "Every medium of communication from cave painting to the Internet has been first used to convey intellectual or spiritual content, then pornography, then everything else. If the nineteenth-century abolitionists who demanded the suppression of high-speed mechanical printing presses because they were used chiefly to produce erotic books had been successful, you would be reading this from a sheet of parchment now."

I'm off work tomorrow, thank god. Me and Alicia finally figured out when we're going to the movies. We're going Wednesday. We're seeing a different movie than we originally planned, though. We wer going to see Charlie's Angels, but now we're going to see League of Extraordinary Gentlemen instead. Alicia's going to be drooling everywhere, because Stuart Townsend is in it. Hmmm, what else can I write? I know, how about a "The Best of Kevin" post? Yes, that's it. In fact, I can think of several old posts I think I'll repost over the next few days. Here's one originally from just about a week after my blog began: Wednesday, September 18, 2002 Holy Crap. There's a new Scooby Doo series on the WB. I must find out who is behind this and kill him/her/it/them. But I won't just kill them, no. First I will make their life a living hell, and then I will destroy all that they hold sacred and dear. They will suffer greatly for their crimes against humanity. Come on people, it's time to let Scooby die. But no, instead of relegating him to the dustbins of history, people have to keep bringing him back with countless reruns and new forms, and new merchandise and movies. I hate Scooby Doo. I HATE Scooby Doo. Speaking of people who need to die, tonight was a very annoying night at work. We had lots of stupid, rude customers. Even more than usual. One old lady who looked like she was probably 90 decided to be a bitch because she didn't want to pay 27 cents for a water. Then there was some cross-eyed fat lady who smelled so bad I could hardly take her order. She had a filthy boy-child with her, who looked like he'd been rolling in soggy Oreo cookies. His legs were covered in sores of some sort, it looked like they might have been burns. Over all he was a very diseased looking child. He still smelled better than she did though. Alicia didn't work tonight, but she came up there for a few minutes. She was upset about having to work on Homecoming, she wanted to go very much. If I had been off that night I would have worked for her, but I have to work that night too. It bothers me to see her upset like that. She's my friend and I care about her very much. I wish there was something I could do to help.
I got off work really early tonight, at about 7:25. I only worked about 3 hours, taking off the half-hour for my break. They are cutting everyone's hours because profits have been bad or something. So now I'm going to be making even less money. I've been working there almost 7 years, and I only make $6.15 an hour. Pitiful. I still have it a lot better than most of the other people that work there. I still live with my parents, because I can't afford to move out, but most of the people I work with have their own place, and are having a really hard time paying bills. See that little rating thing there at the bottom of the page people? It's not just there for decoration. Rate me! Uhh, but only if it's a good rating. And then, when you're done rating my site, go to Alicia's site and read it, and then give her some good ratings too! And then, send me money! Lots of it! Ummm, email me, and I'll tell you how to send it to me. And then, uhhh, send me more money! Money, and valuables, and jewelry, and expensive electronics equipment, and your children! Send me your children! No wait, keep the kids, I hate kids. Unless...maybe I could make an army of sugar-crazed Harry Potter fanatics, and finally take over the world! I better write that one down for future research. Well, I guess that's about it, idiots. I guess I'll go read some more. I'm already over half done with "Interview with the Vampire." I should finish it tomorrow. I love bacon. I even floss with it.

Here's a cool conversation that took place once-upon-a-time in the alt.slack newsgroup:
From: "Rev.Tim" Newsgroups: alt.slack Date: Sat, Oct 5, 2002 I was downtown today when the Twins game was letting out and as I watched everyone in their sports garb wandering by I wondered to myself(as there was no one else to wonder to at the time). Why does anyone care about any pro sport? What is achieved by watching such a thing and why do people waste their time on such a pointless pursuit? Not one of them I asked could tell me, and I just can't figure it out.Thank you in advance for your enlightening reply. -Rev Tim I know this is all a figment of my imagination but I may as well entertain myself. ---------------------------------------------------------------------From: friday@fridayjones.com (Friday Jones) America is too big for the concept of an 'American Tribe' to take hold in a concrete fashion, and the American rituals are not held very often; at the same time, family bonds have been weakened to the point that NOBODY lives with a group of their relatives. So everybody is looking for a tribe to belong to, a tribe to have their rituals with, and for some people, sports serves as their tribe. For some, it's science fiction films; they go to the opening show and see all their fellow fans, and are content. For some it's a particular newsgroup, and they post there, and are replied to by their fellow groupies, and feel one with the tribe. The ambitious, of course, simply clone multiple copies of themselves and take over small towns in Wyoming. They all wear masks during the day, so that they look different; but at night they streams through the houses and the streets, shoulder to shoulder and bare all over, naked under the stars and moon, and all alike, each to each. -"On every day and in every way, the world is samer and samer." - nu-monet

Man, work sucked tonight. It was really busy. And Nathan and Murray talked about Dragonball Z the entire night. The ENTIRE night, from 4:00 to 11:30. I like Dragonball Z, but they were ridiculous. They've both seen or read about like every episode of every series, even the episodes and features that haven't
even been shown in America yet. They were having debates over things like whether or not non-Saiyans could learn to power-up and become like SuperSaiyans, and what certain characters, like King Kai, would look like if they did. And then they were talking about what it would look like if they could design their own character. They were like "I'd give him Trunks' hair and clothes, Gohan's body..." and blah blah blah. All Night. Whatever happened to Ben Stein? Other than the old Clear-Eyes commercials, I haven't seen or heard about him in a long time. Ben Stein is cool. But I get really tired of people comparing me to him, it used to happen all the time. I may not look or sound very enthusiastic, but I certainly don't sound like him. I wish I did though, that would be cool.

Today (or yesterday I guess, since it's after midnight) I am (was) happy. (Time is weird isn't it. Really such a subjective concept when you think about it.) Let us try that again. Today, I am happy. (That's better.) Today was a really cool day, even though I did absolutely nothing all day. Actually, I did lots of things today, I learned a lot, and added many new neural pathways to my brain, and cleared out some of the old archaic and misguided ones. But when compared to the concept of "having a life" I did nothing today. To perhaps put it a little more simply... I sat around the house almost all day and mainly just read and surfed the internet. I went to Carl's Jr. for lunch, and ended up being there for over an hour hanging out and talking to http://www.stuffexplodes.blogspot.com. Then I drove around the lake making noises at the hundreds of geese. Then I came home again and did all this reading and stuff. Then Alicia got online and we talked for a while. Then I checked out a few websites, and found the glorious webpage that I just talked about in the post below this one. Seriously, I am in the greatest mood right now. Man, I need to dispose of all the empty coke cans that have built up in my room. There's 25 Coke cans on my desk and dresser. It's getting hard to reach around to the power button (which is on the back on iMacs like mine) to turn the computer on. Ok, I'm going to bed. I'm almost in too good a mood to sleep, though.

Mein Gott! This is the greatest thing ever! I think I've found my new religion, or philosophy, or something. Actually, I don't believe in any one religion, I believe in all of them, or at least parts of all of them. So the most accurate thing to say would be that I will incorporate large parts of this new philosophy into mine. But seriously, this is just amazing. Anyway, the complete document is http://www.rawilson.com/csicon.shtml but here are a few highlights: ...And thus I met Timothy F.X. Finnegan, Dean of the Royal Sir Myles na gCopaleen Astro-Anomalistic Society, Dalkey, sometime lecturer at Trinity College, Dublin, and founder of the Committee for Surrealist Investigation of Claims of the Normal. In fact, Prof. Finnegan signed me up as a member of CSICON that very night, in the Plough and Stars pub over our ninth or tenth pint of Ireland's most glorious product, linn dubh, known as Guiness to the ungodly. Now I hear that Prof. Finnegan has died, or at least they took the liberty of burying him, and I feel that the world has lost a great man. The Commitee for Surrealist Investigation of Claims of the Normal (CSICON) , however, lives on and deserves more attention than it has received hitherto. Prof. Finnegan always asserted that the idea for CSICON derived from a remark passed by an old Dalkey character named Sean Murphy, in the Goat and Compasses pub shortly before closing time on 23 July 1973. Actually, it started with two old codgers named O'Brian and Nolan discussing the weather. "Terrible rain and wind for this time of year," O'Brian ventured. "Ah, faith," Nolan replied, "I do not believe it is this time of year at all, at all." At this, Murphy spoke up. "Ah, Jaysus," he said, "I've never seen a boogerin' normal day." He paused to set down his pint, then added thoughtfully, "And I
never met a fookin' average man neither" ...But Murphy's simple words lit a fire in the subtle and intricate brain of Timothy F.X. Finnegan, who had just finished his own fourteenth pint (de Selby says his fifteenth pint). The next day the aging Finnegan wrote the first two-page outline of the new science he called patapsychology, a term coined in salute to Alfred Jarry's invention of pataphysics. Finnegan's paper began with the electrifying sentence, "The average Canadian has one testicle, just like Adolph Hitler -- or, more precisely, the average Canadian has 0.96 testicles, an even sadder plight than Hitler's, if the average Anything actually existed." He then went on to demonstrate that the normal or average human lives in substandard housing in Asia, has 1.04 vaginas, cannot read or write, suffers from malnutrition and never heard of Silken Thomas Fitzgerald or Brian Boru. "The normal," he concluded "consists of a null set which nobody and nothing really fits." Thus began the science of Patapsychology, Prof. Finnegan's most enduring,and endearing, contribution to the world -- aside from the computer-enhanced photos of the Face on Mars with which he endeavored to prove that the Face depicted Moishe Horwitz, his lifelong mentor and idol. This, of course, remains highly controversial, especially among disciples of Richard Hoagland, who believe the Face looks more like the Sphinx, those who insist it looks like Elvis to them, and the dullards who only see it as a bunch of rocks. ...Patapsychology begins from Murphy's Law, as Finnegan called the First Axiom, adopted from Sean Murphy. This says,and I quote,"The normal does not exist. The average does not exist. We know only a very large but probably finite phalanx of discrete space-time events encountered and endured." In less technical language, the Board of the College of Patapsychology offers one million Irish punds [around $700,000 American] to any "normalist" who can exhibit "a normal sunset, an average Beethoven sonata, an ordinary Playmate of the Month, or any thing or event in space-time that qualifies as normal, average or ordinary." In a world where no two fingerprints appear identical, and no two brains appear identical, and an electron does not even seem identical to itself from one nanosecond to another, patapsychology seems on safe ground here. No normalist has yet produced even a totally normal dog, an average cat, or even an ordinary chickadee. Attempts to find an average Bird of Paradise, an ordinary haiku or even a normal cardiologist have floundered pathetically. The normal, the average, the ordinary, even the typical, exist only in statistics, i.e. the human mathematical mindscape. They never appear in external space-time, which consists only and always of nonnormal events in nonnormal series. Thus, unless you're an illiterate and malnourished Asian with exactly 1.04 vaginas and 0.96 testicles, living in substandard housing, you do not qualify as normal but as abnormal, subnormal, supernormal, paranormal or some variety of nonnormal. I strongly advise you read the entire document. I think I'm gonna go order a CSICON t-shirt now. The Hell law says that Hell is reserved exclusively for them that believe in it. Further, the lowest Rung in Hell is reserved for them that believe in the supposition that they'll go there if they don't believe in it. -- HBT; The Gospel According to Fred, 3:1 posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/07/mein-gott-this-is-greatest-thing-ever.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105790570395764718

That list of "symptoms" consists mostly of things that nearly everyone experiences, at least occasionally. Especially that list of fears thing. Of course, they explain that the reason these are so common is because this has happened to millions of people. Yeah, I doubt it. Though they may be on to something. However I doubt it is Aliens doing all this. It's probably some earthly group or government experimenting on people, and then starting cover-up organizations like these so the few people who do figure out they are being experimented on will think that it is the work of aliens, and also become classified as crazies who no one will take seriously.

Ok, first let me say that I normally don't watch Lupin III. I used to hate it, but it's starting to grow on me, I've watched a few epsiodes, and there have been a couple that were actually kind of cool, such as the one that was on tonight, which was one that I had seen before. Anyway, there was something in tonight's episode that surprised me greatly. On the show they had to go to a nudist colony to track down a jewel that they were trying to steal. The guy with the beard, I don't remember his name, didn't seem too pleased about the idea, and Lupin said "It sounds to me like someone's afraid he might not measure up," and the guy replied something along the lines of, "Are you kidding, it's my strong resemblance to Dillinger that made me want to get into this business in the first place." When he said this my jaw dropped. I can't believe they made a joke about such an obscure piece of historical rumor. I'm sure most people didn't even get the joke. For those of you who didn't... There is a long-standing and persistant rumor that Dillinger posessed a penis of god-like proportions, being something like 23 inches in it's flaccid state. Part of what surprised me about this joke was not just the esoteric subject matter, but the synchronicity of the event. At the time this joke was made I was once again reading "The Illuminatus Trilogy" the book from which I learned this strange piece of phallic lore. This isn't the first strange example of synchronicity I've noticed recently. For some reason it's been happening a lot in the last 48 hours or so. Synchronicity; Noun; Inflected forms: pl.synchronicities 1. The state or fact of being synchronous or simultaneous; synchronism. 2. Coincidence of events that seem to be meaningfully related, conceived in Jungian theory as an explanatory principle on the same order as causality. One of the other strange, somewhat synchronous events also had it's roots in "The Illuminatus Trilogy." One of the characters in the book is a crime boss named Banana-Nose Maldonado. Maldonado is a fairly odd name, and one that I have never heard anywhere besides this book. Yet a couple of days ago
at work, a guy came through drive-thru wearing a shirt for some sports team or something, and had the names of the players on it. And right there in the middle of the shirt, glaring at me, was the name Maldonado. Things like this have been happening a lot, and most of them involving this book in some way. Which is in itself odd, as this book talks about synchronicity a lot. I've been reading a lot the last week. I like reading. All this reading and writing is also helping me get my vocabulary back, as you may have noticed in that first paragraph. I don't normally use words like "synchronicity" and "esoteric." I used to have a huge vocabulary, back when I was in elementary and middle school I actually talked like that. But then around the time I started working, my vocabulary started going down. Mainly because I was forced to stop using it, because people had trouble understanding me. Since I no longer used my vocabulary, I started to lose it. The last few years I have tried to bring my vocabulary back to it's former levels, but learning new words does little good, since I never get the chance to use most of them. On another note, I'm feeling much better today. I'm no longer depressed. I finally realized that it was all in my head, and I was depressed over nothing. Which I knew all along, but couldn't convince myself. Bullshit makes the flowers grow, and that's beautiful. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/07/ok-first-let-me-say-that-i-normally.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105769005946555770
Wow, this is my fifth post I've written today, though technically, since it's after midnight, it's tomorrow. Anyway. I'm still feeling really depressed. In fact, that's putting it mildly. A more accurate description would be to say that I feel like shit. I don't think even that's a good enough description of how bad I feel right now. Even though it's still early by my standards, I'm going to go to bed now, and hope that I feel better when I wake up in the morning.

I just got back from the bookstore, even though I didn't really feel like going. I don't feel very good right now, I'm feeling pretty depressed again. I suppose I have no one to blame but myself. I bought a book called "Lucifer Rising: Sin, Devil Worship, & Rock 'n' Roll". It's the history of Satanism, mainly dealing with Satan and Satanism as protrayed in the movies and by Heavy Metal bands. From the back cover: "Whether in the Black Masses staged by medieval peasants, or in the showbiz blasphemies of 'Antichrist Superstar' Marilyn Manson, for hundreds of years it has been a source of theatrical self-expression for the true individualist." Lots of darkly erotic and disturbing imagery in this book, with lots of bare breasts. I like breasts. Dammit. No naughty thoughts, I'll just make myself even more depressed.

Man, I'm bored. I'm off work today, and I have nothing to do at all. This town is so boring. I think I'm gonna go to the bookstore later, and buy a new book or two. As if I really need more books. My parent's may be moving, and me with them, of course. At least until I can get a good job again and get a place of my own. This is very surprising news. I mean, we've lived in this same house since I was like 4 or 5, and we've wanted to move pretty much the whole time. This house sucks. We've never been able to move though, because no one will buy this god-forsaken house. But now my parents finally have this house paid off, so they can afford to buy a new one. It's very doubtful we will move though, because for some reason the guy won't sell the house. See, my parents found some house near here that no one has been livng in for a year or so, and the bank is about to foreclose on it, because the guy hasn't been paying his house payments, so my parents were hopeing the guy would sell them the house, but no one knows how to get ahold of the guy, not even his lawyer. The lawyer did say that the last time he heard from the guy he wasn't going to sell it, he was just going to let the bank take it. I wish there was something to do! I'm so bored! Me and Alicia were supposed to maybe go see Charlie's Angels tonight, but she spent all her money and can't go now. We have to wait until next payday, which is over a week away. She won't let me pay for her, she won't even just borrow money from me. Oh well, I can wait, I guess. The duck works nicely. This is a very funny Flash cartoon, watch it. http://www.yayforthewebsite.com/special_features/ducks.asp.

The other day I mentioned one of my favorite books, The Schrodinger's Cat trilogy by Robert Anton Wilson, and typed a passage from it. Here is another cool passage from the same book. The coolest thing about this passage, aside from the obvious, is that it is very similar to the whole Monica Lewinsky scandal, despite the fact that this book was written in the 70's: In that universe, not just civilization, but all life on Terra, came to a very hideous end in 1984, because the President was constipated one day and made the wrong decision. Their technology was so advanced that half the solar system went nova along with Earth In the next universe Simon explored, we were saved because a red-haired Tantric Engineer named Babs Lashtal gave the Prez a first-class Grade-A blow job in the Oval Office at 10 A.M., relaxed his tense muscles, pacified his glands, soothed his frustrations and inspired him to act relatively sane for the rest of the day. He did not push the button, thereby preserving millions of species of living forms on Earth, and thousands of microscopic species on Venus.
Babs Lashtal, or course, was regarded with contempt by all right-thinking people, who had no idea that they owed their lives to her skillful extraction of Presidential spermatozoa by means of tender, gentle, gracefully rhythmic kissing, licking, and sucking of the Presidential Wand. Even if they had known about it, the right-thinking people would still say Babs should be ashamed of herself. The whole novel was rather didactic, Simon decided. It was written only to prove a point: Never underestimate the importance of a blow job. It had been necessary because the people over there were so ignorant and superstitious they still called Tantric Engineers "whores" and other degrading names. Yay for books! So yeah, besides being somewhat pornographic, it's also kind of prophetic, bringing to mind Clinton and Lewinsky. 'Tis an ill wind that blows no minds. And remember that there is no tyranny in The State of Confusion.

10. The Earth quakes, and the heavens rattle; thebeasts of nature flock together and the nations of men flock apart, volcanoes usher up heat while elsewhere water becomes ice and melts; and then on other days it just rains. 11. Indeed do many things come to pass. -- HBT; The Book of Predications, Chap. 19 A Zen Story by Camden Benares, The Count of Five Headmaster, Camp Meeker Cabal A serious young man found the conflicts of mid 20th century America confusing. He went to many people seeking a way of resolving within himself the discords that troubled him, but he remained troubled. One night in a coffee house, a self-ordained Zen Master said to him, "Go to the dilapidated mansion you will find at this address which I have written down for you. Do not speak to those who live there; you must remain silent until the moon rises tomorrow night. Go to the large room on the right of the main hallway, sit in the lotus position on top of the rubble in the northeast corner, face the corner, and meditate." He did as the Zen Master instructed. His meditation was frequently interrupted by worries. He worried whether or not the rest of the plumbing fixtures would fall from the second floor bathroom to join the pipes and other trash he was sitting on. He worried how would he know when the moon rose on the next night. He worried about what the people who walked through the room said about him. His worrying and meditation were disturbed when, as if in a test of his faith, ordure fell from the second floor onto him. At that time two people walked into the room. The first asked the second who the man sitting there was. The second replied "Some say he is a holy man. Others say he is a shithead." Hearing this, the man was enlightened. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/07/10.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105739060621495367
Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Though wise men at their end know dark is right, Because their words had forked no lightning they Do not go gentle into that good night. Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight, And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way, Do not go gentle into that good night. Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light. And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night.

Man, I'm bored. Bored, bored, bored. Yay for cryptic German phrases: "Gestorben ist nicht, was fur ewig ruht, und mit unbekannten Aonen mag sogar der Tod noch sterben." Which translates to that infamous phrase from the Necronomicon, translated into English by H.P. Lovecraft as "That is not dead which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die." Yay for Robert Anton Wilson, one of the greatest writers ever, as shown by this passage from "The Trick Top Hat," part of the "Schrodinger's Cat Trilogy.": In fact, Hugh Crane -- who was only ten years old in 1934 and would reach twelve before he discovered that the actual pronounciation of the president's name was Roosevelt -- was only partially listening to his father's rambling diatribe. He had heard it all before, many times, and besides, the Mysterious Tramp was much more interesting. The Mysterious Tramp, perhaps a visitor from fairy land, was stopping each person who passed and asking them something. They all shook their heads and walked by rapidly. This was puzzling to little Hugh: If the answer was negative, why did the Tramp keep asking the question? Didn't he believe the people who had already answered? Was he offering a chance to cross the boundary into magic space and were they all too timid to try? "You see, son, Rosenfelt and the Rhodes Scholars have it all sliced up and they have to get rid of people like me...." Tom Crane was still rambling along his own paranoid yellow-brick road when they finally came abreast of the Tramp. Hugh listened eagerly to catch the Mystery Question. "Hey mister could you spare a dime I haven't eaten in three days mister hey listen mister..." "Get a job," said old Crane, walking faster. "You see, son, that's the kind of good-for-nothing loafer who's destroying this country." But the boy who was to become Cagliostro the Escape Artist looked back and saw the Mysterious Tramp falling to the ground very slowly like a tree he had seen fall slowly after being chopped by the caretaker at the Crane country home out on Long Island, and just like the tree, when he finally reached the sidewalk, the Tramp didn't move at all, not one bit, and even seemed to get stiff like the tree did, only faster. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/07/man-im-bored_04.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105735330214992993
I'm back from Daniel's. I had fun tonight. There were a lot of us there, and we shot a lot of fireworks. Then we went out to the back yard and Daniel and Shawn had a wrestling match. It was funny as hell. We kept commenting on how it looked like they were trying to fuck each other. Some of the people there were a little drunk. I just had three beers and didn't get drunk. That's kinda weird though, usually after three beers I start to get drunk, but I didn't even have a buzz tonight. But I still had the most fun I've had in a long time. I got my first check from Carl's Jr. today, but it wasn't very much, because it was only for a couple of days. Still, it's some much-needed money. I need money, I was almost broke. And I'm going to the movies sometime in the next week. Me and Alicia are going to go see Charlie's Angels. YAY! I'm in a really good mood right now! I'm pretty happy right now. The only thing that would make me happier would be if I wasn't so damn horny. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/07/im-back-from-daniels.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105729568274730368
Man, tonight at work sucked. I was this close to walking out and quitting most of the night. There was many reasons it's was annoying. Mostly because the two kitchen workers were acting like idiots all night. Working at Carls again has reminded me of why I hate people. Being out of work and sitting at home for three months I had actually started to miss people. Now I'm starting to hate them again. Not quite all people, but most of them. I had also forgotten what is was like to be really angry. Usually I spend most of the night at Carls severely angry, so angry it's unhealthy. That's how tonight was. Anyway, that's enough of that. I'm gonna go watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show now. It's been months since I've seen that, and for some reason I've had the songs from it stuck in my head for the last few days. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/07/man-tonight-at-work-sucked.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105712461156764647

Ok, I was in a bad mood the last couple of days, but I feel great today. Work wasn't even that bad tonight. It wasn't fun, but it didn't suck. More stuff from the piles of old papers I found yesterday. Here's a Haiku I once wrote for a school assignment. As you probably know, a haiku is a poem in which the first line is five syllables, the second line is seven, and the third line is five. Here is my smart ass haiku: The first line is five, The second line is seven, The last is five too. Great, isn't it. I scored a 100% on this assignment, mainly because we were only supposed to write something like 5 or 6 haikus, and I wrote 20. I also wrote them all ina period of about half an hour. This was also pretty much the first time I ever wrote anything. It's what first made me realize I wanted to be a writer. Looking back at these poems, some of them are pretty bad. None of them are bad writing really, it's just that some of them are kind of cliche, and for some reason almost all of them are about death, or some other dark subject. Here are some of the better ones: Wind blows, and wind chills Wind blows over dales and hills Wind blows always on Darkness surrounds you Cold and damp and black as sin Now and always, death Halloween is here Ghosts and Goblins cause much fear Some are real, some not Born of darkness here Is the thing which causes fear Come and meet it now When the flower blooms A thing of beauty is born But does not last long Just who is this God? Argue the Priest and the Fool They are both quite wrong Whenever love fades And the flame flickers and dies So does a man's hope Many things must end, Alas, so did my love's life I will join her soon When your mind is lost You may not know your own self Nothing matters then It will all end soon My life is almost over Welcome me, sweet death Okay, the parade of Goth poetry is over now. I was about 16 or 17 when I wrote these. I wrote them all while on break at work. Most of them are pretty good. But it's just kind of embarrasing, how stupid they are, they're all pretty cliche and maudlin. Crap, it's 1:00 AM already. Time for bed. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/07/ok-i-was-in-bad-mood-last-couple-of.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105704006570041869
While walking down the road his buddy Tofu (who was a 3 ton MIDGET) came up to him and asked him to give him all his Ho-Hos. "Okay," Bubba said. Now you need to understand that these Ho-Hos were for Bubba's momma, who was the size of a small house. When he got home she was as mad as a raging sloth. "Bubba, why did you do that?" she asked. "Because he asked me for them," he answered. "Boy, you have to be the stupidest person alive," she stated as she sat on him. "Why for you do dat?" Bubba asked. "Because I felt like it." Later, when Bubba finally crawled forth from the caverns. "Boy, that stinks!" Bubba exclaimed. "Hey Bubba," said Tofu. "What?" "You wanna go fight someone?" "Sure." "Well, go get your gun." "Okay." As they were walking down the street, they came upon some gang members. "Hey, Bubba," said Tofu. "Huh?" "Go gettum, and I'll stay right here and watch." "Okay, Tofu." In a matter of minutes Bubba was in the middle of the battle with Tofu cheering the gang members on. First they hit Bubba on the head with a bat (a futile effort as we all know). This is where the story ends. He never did finish it. This story is typical of most of the things he wrote back then. Common themes of his stories are midgets, impossibly fat people, things taking a crap, extremely stupid people, and gerbils in the rectum. What's really bad is that he often handed these stories in for school assignments. And even worse, he usually got good grades for them. One time he wrote a very short story about a monkey who swallowed a three hundred pound mango seed, and then split in half when it tried to take a crap. He turned that in and got an "A." posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/06/i-went-through-some-boxes-of-stuff.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105695017354761644
Man, I feel pretty weird today. I'm bored, tired, lonely, and confused. And for some reason when I get this way I usually look up my horoscope. Here's a pretty cool thing I found, that gives a description of the qualities of Saggitarius in general. Which, for the most part, accurately describes me, except for a few things, such as the parts about being optimistic, athletic and social. "Sagittarius, the ninth Sign of the Zodiac, is the home of the wanderers of the Zodiac. It's not a mindless ramble for these folks, either. Sagittarians are truthseekers, and the best way for them to do this is to hit the road, talk to others and get some answers. Knowledge is key to these folks, since it fuels their broad-minded approach to life. The Sagittarian-born are keenly interested in philosophy and religion, and they find that these disciplines aid their internal quest. At the end of the day, what Sagittarians want most is to know the meaning of life, and if they accomplish this while feeling free and easy, all the better. "It's the Archer which represents Sagittarians, although in this case it's a Centaur (half man, half beast) which is flinging the arrows. Centaurs were the intellectuals of ancient Roman mythology, and Sagittarians are quick to consider themselves their modern-day counterparts. Those born under this Sign are clear thinkers and choose to look at the big picture most of the time. They also like it when others agree with their well-thought-out point of view. The alternative to this, for better or for worse, is a Sag who can become argumentative and blunt. That's not to say that these folks are intransigent -- Archers will listen to what others have to say, in keeping with the Mutable Quality assigned to this Sign. Indeed, Sagittarians are enthusiastic consumers of information (and enthusiastic in general), the better to get the answers they need. It's also a good idea to give Sags lots of room to explore their world. Once these folks start to feel hemmed in, they'll become impatient and difficult. "Sagittarius is ruled by the Planet Jupiter. In ancient Roman times, Jupiter was the King of the Gods, and most Sagittarians would say that the royal pedigree has been passed on to them. The Sag-born are generous and just, much like a noble leader. These folks are also expansive in their thoughts, as well as in their approach. Sags are forever reaching -- for knowledge, understanding and answers. They are outspoken in their beliefs, at times to the point of exaggeration. This may be due to their unflinching optimism. Sags are also a lucky bunch, thanks to Jupiter's golden glow. They're quick to take a gamble on things, feeling both lucky and smart. While the process of exploration is what fuels Sagittarians (and translating that to others as a teacher and philosopher), they need to be aware of their tendency to procrastinate. Those born under this Sign can be quite self-indulgent since things come so easily to them (thanks to their charming and sociable natures). Smart Archers, however, will catch themselves in time, the better to continue their good work. "The Element associated with Sagittarius is Fire. Just as a fire can move quickly and uncontrollably, so can Sagittarians as they flit from one thing to the next, never looking back. For the Sag-born, it's all about action and adventure (and, hopefully, conclusions). These folks love their physicality and are often athletic, and certainly full of stamina. Life for these folks is played full-on, which is why it's chock-full of experiences. Archers are outgoing, enthusiastic and tend to overstep their bounds as a result, falling prey to the likes of foot-in-mouth disease. They can talk so fast (and so much) that they don't process the full weight of what they're saying, leading to the occasional hurt feeling. Often, however, their words serve to inspire others and to get things going. Yes,
Sagittarians are straight-ahead folks who are curious, spiritual and true believers. The fact that they attract others with ease should be no surprise, since they have a great sense of fun and enjoy a good time. They don't lack for confidence, either, not a whit! High-spirited Sags love to socialize -- with an everchanging crew. "The athleticism of Sags lends itself to challenging sports, and they definitely know they're up to the task. That's why you're likely to find them in an aroundthe-world solo boat race or climbing up the highest peaks (where they should be mindful of their legs and hips). No stretch is too big for a Sag, if only because these folks know they're ready (and lucky to boot). Mental games such as chess or debate also fuel the Sag's mood. Moody colors they'll wear, since they favor rich maroon and navy hues. When it comes to love games, the Archer is playful, flirtatious and always on top. "The great strength of the Sagittarius-born is their philosophical, wide-open and curious nature. These folks seek both knowledge and truth, and they are eager to share their explorations with others. Their optimistic and generous spirit makes them a pleasure to have around." There's also this: "Sagittarius Romance Profile The sign of the Archer rules the House of Philosophy, something which speaks volumes about these inquisitive, knowledge-seeking souls. Sagittarians are truth seekers, focused intensely on learning about their lover and exploring them more deeply. Truth be told, the Archer wants to explore everything deeply, so conversations in bed can run the gamut from religion to politics, and which position is most comfortable. These versatile and charming folks enjoy taking a long drink from the cup of life, something which also makes them exceedingly flirtatious and great social animals. Sagittarian candor is only matched by the need for independence, a guileless raison d'etre which can be an aphrodisiac to many. The Archer loves a challenge, just the kind of thing which spices up their already hot love life." posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/06/man-i-feel-pretty-weird-today.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105691390158036483
That's disgusting, fat old ladies are having dirty thoughts in my drive-through. At work tonight a couple of older women, probably in their 50's, came through drive-through and ordered two vanilla ice cream cones. Our ice cream machine is messed up though, the vanilla is never frozen very well, and tonight was no different. The vanilla ice cream was way too soft to stay on the cones, so when the women pulled around to the window, I told them so. I told them the ice cream was too soft, and that they could either get it in a cup, or get chocolate instead. The woman who was driving said, "Never mind then, we like it hard." Then they giggled. It frightened me. Alicia came in tonight. I was very surprised because she didn't complain about the dream I had. She said she just laughed when she read about it. I figured she'd yell at me or something. Well, I just got home from work, and it's late and I'm tired. So I'm gonna get ready for bed. I'm off tomorrow, thank god. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/06/thats-disgusting-fat-old-ladies-are.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105686456667124981
Man, work sucks. I'm all out of shape and stuff from just sitting on my ass the last three months. I'm in pain. I don't hurt that bad tonight, though. But the first few nights at work made me hurt really bad. Carl's Jr. still sucks as much as it ever did. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/06/man-work-sucks.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105677662908822789
Ok, so I didn't write my review of Harry Potter when I said I would. I said I'd write it the next day after work, but I was too tired, so I decided I would write it the nest day, because I was off work, but then someone called in and I had to work. So then I was going to write it yesterday, but I couldn't access my blog all day yesterday, and part of this morning because the website was moving my blog to the new Blogger program, which so far looks pretty cool. So anyway, here's my review on the last half of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. The second half of the book was much better than the first half, and more than made up for the shortcomings of the first half. As is to be expected, there was a lot more action, and lots of cool stuff happened. I realize I am being very vague, but I don't want to give anything away, even though everyone I know already knows who dies in the book, because they cheated and looked as soon as they got the book. But I'm still not going to tell who died. In my opinion, the death didn't bother me, in fact, if someone had to die, I would rather it have been this person, rather than some of the other characters. Yet everyone I know is angry about it, they don't like who died, they all say that it was one of their favorite characters, and they don't even want to read the book now. The most I'm going to give away about how the book ended is that everything comes out good in the end. All the bad things that happened in the first half are fixed and everything's good again. So, since I don't want to give anything away, that's about all I have to say about Harry Potter. Last night, while surfing the internet, I discovered the greatest band in existence, http://lordsoftherhymes.com/The Lords of the Rhymes, a.k.a. Bombadil and Quickbeam are a couple of white boys who dress up like elves and dwarves and hobbits and sing rap songs about The Lord of the Rings, and other Tolkein stories. They are my new favorite band, despite the fact that they only have two singles out. I normally hate rap, but I love these guys, and it's not just because they sing about Lord of the Rings, but because they are also very good. They have a sound kind of like the Beastie Boys, one of the few rap groups I like, and they use lots of cool samples from old Lord of the Rings books on tape, radio productions, and the old animated movie of The Hobbit. They have two singles, plus several remixes of those two songs. Out of the main two their newest one, "Nine Fingered Frodo and the Ring of Doom" is the best, though their original track, "The Lords of the Rhymes," is also very good, and features Gollum beatboxing, which is quite possibly the coolest thing ever. Hmm, it seems like there was some other stuff I wanted to talk about, but I don't remember what, so I'm gonna go now. I have lots of other things to do tonight. I just bought a used video game for really cheap, it's Dark Cloud 2, a game I've been wanting for months now, and also my DVDs of "The Maxx" that I ordered just came in. The Maxx, if you don't remember, was a strange cartoon they showed on MTV years ago, and was my favorite show. I used to know every word of every episode by heart, and I've been looking for recordings of the show for years. I finally found it on eBay, a complete set of every episode, on DVD. I just hope they quality is good, they are homemade DVDs that someone made. Anyway, I'm gonna go watch that, and play some video games. Today, life is good. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/06/ok-so-i-didnt-write-my-review-of-harry.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=105666396803630401
Cool! This site has had 53 hits this week, that's more than twice what I usually get. I normally only get between 15 and 25, the last few weeks it been closer to 25. Well, I'm up to page 515 now in the new Harry Potter book, and honestly, I can't wait for it to be over. I can barely read it, it's just too horrible. Not the book or the writing, it's just as well written as the other books, if not better, but the stuff that's happening in it is just too horrible. I don't want to give anything away, so I will be vague. In this book about nine tenths of the wizarding world now thinks Harry is just a liar and a show off, they don't beleive that Voldemort is back, and that he's making it all up just to get attention, and they also think that Dumbledore is just a senile old crackpot who hangs out with crooks and liars like Harry Potter. Dumbledore has been kicked out of all the various wizardly groups he used to belong to, and has had his "Order of Merlin" title taken away, and is expected to be kicked out of Hogwarts very soon. The Ministry of Magic are the "bad guys" now, it is they who are convincing everyone that Dumbledore and Harry are crazy, dangerous, frauds. They also have a person working inside Hogwarts now, and keep passing all kinds of laws giving her power over the school, and she goes around "grading" all the teachers and putting them on probation and banning after school activities and things like that, and making everything against the rules. They're barely even allowed to practice magic anymore. In "Defense Against the Dark Arts" all they do is read textbooks, they aren't allowed to actually do any of the magic. Life at Hogwarts has become a living hell for everyone, Harry especially. Luckily he has finally calmed down a little, and is not yelling at people everytime they so much as say "hi" to him. The first half of the book Harry is constantly yelling at everyone, saying things like, "You think it's easy being me? You think I like being pointed at and whispered about by everyone? You think I enjoy being attacked by Voldemort all the time?" Stuff like that, and jumping down the throat of all the teachers and even Ron and Hermione every time they try to talk to him. It's getting a little better now, what little I've read of the second half of the book isn't quite as irritating. It's a really good book, well written and everything, just like the previous books, but I think she's gonna lose some readers, now that Voldemort is back, and the books are going in a new direction. I'd still be reading it right now, but it's my sister's book and it's her turn now. So I had to stop for a few hours. I will definitely finish the book tonight though. I really want to read it, and hate stopping, even though while I am reading it, it's so hard to keep going. What's happening in the book is so terrible though, you want to keep reading, and get to the end quickly, just to see how everything turns out. I hope everything turns out well in the end, but that's doubtful now that Voldmort's back, and someone still has to die. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/06/cool-this-site-has-had-53-hits-this.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=95921317
line, and Wal-Mart had 250 copies of the book. I've just been reading it for about the last three hours. I only got up to page 178. That seems kind of slow reading to me, compared to how fast I normally read, but everyone else in the house is calling me a freak for being able to read so fast. I could easily read the entire book tonight if I felt like it, but I don't really want to, and my sister wants to read it some more, and it is her book. This book is pretty cool, I especially like the glimpse of magical office life inside the Ministry of Magic, with witches and wizards working in cubicles, just like any normal Muggle office, except that the pictures tacked up on the cubicle walls move. Of course, now that Voldemort's back, the tone of this book is darker than the previous books. This one starts off pretty dark, and at page 178 is just starting to briefly loosen up a little. J.K. Rowling's been on TV the last few days saying that in this book "one of what I consider to be a major character dies." She cried for hours when she had to write that part. But as she goes on to say, this is just the beginning, the deaths have begun, as the second war with Voldemort has now begun. It's not just the foreboding of evil that creates the dark atmosphere that pervades this book, Harry is also acting strangely, he's growing up and becoming a teenager now, and keeps getting upset about things. Every time one problem is solved, he instantly finds something else to brood over. I really need to re-read the third and fourth Harry Potter books, as I've only read both of them once, and hardly remember them. They keep referring to people and events from the fourth book, and I don't remember them. This book is hard to understand if you don't have a good grip on the storyline of the third and fourth books. Well, that's it for my book review, I don't want to give anything away, and I haven't really read that much of it yet. I don't know how they managed it, but I was reading the other day that this book has almost twice the amount of words as the fourth book, yet it only has a little more than a hundred more pages. The fourth book was 700-something pages, this one is 870, at about 28,000 words, I think it was. In other news, I am once again employed. By Carl's Jr., unfortunately. Alicia told me online last night that Allen wanted to talk to me this morning, because three people were fired or quit last night. So I went to talk to him today, and I start work again on Monday. I'm not really very thrilled about it, but at least I'll have some money now. The other day I ordered some rare Yu-Gi-Oh cards from someone selling them on eBay for unbelievably low prices. Mainly because they are Japanese cards, and as such are not tournament legal, but it's still cool to own them. I now own all five pieces of Exodia and all three Egyptian God cards, as well as the Japanese version of the cards Blue Eyes White Dragon, and Red Eyes Black Dragon. Well, that's about it for now, I may write more later. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/06/my-sister-managed-to-get-copy-of-harry.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=95904654

Here's another one of my favorite songs at the moment, though I do think I like the original artist better, whoever that was... The Boys of Summer The Ataris
Nobody on the road Nobody on the beach I feel it in the air The summer's out of reach Empty lake, empty streets The sun goes down alone I'm drivin' by your house Though I know you're not at home But I can see youYour brown skin shinin' in the sun You got your hair combed back and your sunglasses on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I never will forget those nights I wonder if it was a dream Remember how you made me crazy? Remember how I made you scream Now I don't understand what happened to our love But babe, I'm gonna get you back I'm gonna show you what I'm made of I can see youYour brown skin shinin' in the sun I see you walkin' real slow and you're smilin' at everyone I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone Out on the road today, I saw a BLACK FLAG sticker on a Cadillac A little voice Inside my head said, "Don't look back. You can never look back." I thought I knew what love was What did I know? Those days are gone forever I should just let them go butI can see youYour brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that top pulled down and that radio on, baby And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone I can see youYour brown skin shinin' in the sun You got that hair slicked back and those Wayfarers on, baby I can tell you my love for you will still be strong After the boys of summer have gone posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/06/heres-another-one-of-my-favorite-songs.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=95844804

So, that song I posted yesterday is from one of the Cowboy Bebop soundtrack CDs, entitled "Blue." It is one of the most beautiful and sad songs I've ever heard, and it's one of my favorite songs. The Cowboy Bebop albums are full of cool songs like that, that's what makes the show so cool. That song is from a very sad episode too, that song plays while Ed and Ein, my two favorite characters from the show, are leaving the Bebop. Ed has found out that she (yes, she) has a father, and that he is nearby somewhere, so she leaves the Bebop to find him, and Ein follows her. Ein is a very intelligent dog. Ed is a little girl who is very weird and is a super computer hacker. Cartoon Network took Cowboy Bebop off Adult Swim and replaced it with that fucking Lupin III, never in my life have I hated any show as much as I hate Lupin III, and not just because it replaced Cowboy Bebop, I just hate Lupin III, it's horrible. I'm feeling pretty lonely the last few days, and bored. It sucks just sitting around the house all day. I wish I had a job too, I'd go back to Carl's for awhile, until the Prison hires me, but they are doing really badly right now, not making any money, and hardly getting any business. They probably couldn't hire me back if they wanted to. I really need a job, I need money. And no one's buying my stuff on eBay. As if I didn't already feel really unloved. Ugh, don't mention love. Love is one thing that apparently has no place in my life. Never been any, and apparently there never will be any love in my life. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/06/so-that-song-i-posted-yesterday-is.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=95771325

In another desperate attempt to make some money, I am now selling things. I have several collectable items I plan on selling on eBay. Right now I just have one item up, if it sells I will try the others. First item up for sale is a ten-year-old boxed set of "Battletech Third Edition." Fairly rare and collectible, the bidding starts at $30.00. There is only one other copy of this for sale on eBay, and that guy's charging $49.99. Mine's in real good condition, never been played, so if you're a fan of Battletech, Mechwarrior, or giant robots, don't miss your chance to bid, only 6 days and 23 hours left to bid. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3135077402&category=16487 Other items that may soon be up for sale are a mint condition two deck starter kit for Star Trek the Next Generation Customizable Card Game, which also includes two booster packs, and several rare cards. And my copy of the old Heroquest Board Game. I read a recent article in a gaming magazine that said that Heroquest is a much sought after item, often going for around $40.00 on eBay, so I may try to sell it. I also have a copy of the recent Lord of the Rings Board Game, but I'm gonna hang on to that for a decade or two, and see how much it's value goes up. If I wasn't so lazy I'd get some magazines and price guides, and check out the values on some of these old Magic the Gathering cards I have, I have several hundred of them, all from the first couple of editions of the cards, so I'm sure some of them are fairly valuable. Too bad I don't have any Moxes, or Black Lotus, but I don't. I'm too lazy to go through all this, so I'm just gonna sell the whole batch to my friend Chris, he's gonna give me $20 for the whole batch. He's been offering me this for several months now, but I never could decide if I wanted to go through with it or not. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/06/in-another-desperate-attempt-to-make.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=95618281
Weird, the power just went out again for about an hour. It's not storming or anything, it's not even cloudy, though it is supposed to storm tonight and tomorrow. They must have been fixing some power lines or something that went down last night. At least it didn't mess up my computer this time. Don't forget, I now accept donations, donations that are much needed.

Check out this cool site. http://www.cheapass.com/. This site, as its name suggests, makes cheap-ass games. Just because they are cheap, and simple, doesn't mean they aren't good however. These games are very cool, and most of them are hilarious. Where else can you find games like "Devil Bunny Hates the Earth," "Devil Bunny Needs a Ham," and "Captain Park's Imaginary Polar Expedition"? Most games on this site cost between $3.00 and $7.50, some are more than this, and some are as low as a dollar. Be warned that most of the games do not come with things like pieces for the characters, or dice, but you can usually scrounge up pieces on your own, if you own any other board games, or you can buy sets of pieces from Cheapass Games for a few dollars more. And the way the games are designed, you can use this one set of pieces on any Cheapass Game you buy. So once you buy one set, you can play any Cheapass Game you buy. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/06/check-out-this-cool-site.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=95603517
Wow, that was some storm we had here last night. Wind gusts up to 80 mph, and lots of lightning, thunder, and rain. It blew the metal cover off the top of our chimney, like it did once several years ago, hopefully it didn't poke a hole in our roof like it did last time. It also knocked the power out from a few minutes after 10:00 pm until about 2:30 am. The power flickered a lot before it finally went completely off, and while it was off it flickered like it was going to come back on a couple of times. It almost ruined one of our TVs, every time the power would almost come on the tv would make this weird squealing noise. It did that one other time a few years ago and blew our TV out. It almost ruined my computer too. My computer was on when the power went off, and so every time the power would blink on or off, the computer would try to restart, and then get shut off again in the middle of starting up. I haven't found anything wrong with my computer, other than that it currently says it is 7:07 PM on Wednesday, December 31st, 1969. That's a weird date for it to go back to, especially the 1969 part. I liked the storm though, I like storms, and I like it when the power goes out, except that I can't sleep when the powers off, because it gets too hot. I spent most of the time reading by candle-light while the power was off. I like candles, candles are cool. Yay, go candles. Don't you hate when that happens, when you repeat a word several times, or look at it for a long time, and suddenly it seems like it's spelled wrong or something? The word will lose it's meaning, and you'll be like, "Wait, 'candles?' Is that spelled right? Is that even a real word?" That happens to me all the time, it's weird, but kinda cool. It usually happens to me when I'm trying to design something. I'll have a word or phrase highlighted, and keep changing the font, trying to figure out which font I like best for it, and suddenly the word will start to look weird to me, and I'll run a spell check to make sure it's spelled right. Wow, this is an old episode of Saturday Night Live on Comedy Central. They're doing skits about the New Kids on the Block, and Beverly Hills 90210. For some strange reason, in my brain, The New Kids on the Block are permantly linked to memories of the hospital in Paul's Valley. This is because I listened to the New Kids on the Block tape that I borrowed from my cousin, while going to the hospital to visit my mom. I don't remember for certain why she was in the hospital at that time though. I think it was when she was giving birth to my sister. Other than that, I can remember everything about the trip whenever I think about the New Kids on the Block. I remember it was night, and I went up there with my aunt and my cousin, Brandi, in their van. I guess my dad was already at the hospital. Then, when we got to the hosital, I had to wait alone in the waiting room for an hour or two, and I spent most of the time reading. If I remember right, the book was "Ramona and her Dad," or one of those "Ramona" books. Those were my favorite when I was a little kid. So now, whenver I see, hear, or think about the New Kids on the Block, all these memories start going through my head. It's strange. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/06/wow-that-was-some-storm-we-had-here.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=95598208

Wow, the cottonwood is really bad this year. There's so much cottonwood blowing through the air, it almost looks like it's snowing. One side of the neighbor's house has a "snow drift" of cottonwood almost a foot deep. My dad is outside my window right now hosing the cottonwood from the air conditioner, if you don't it gets clogged up, and will eventually burn out. I'll be glad when Monday gets here. The stuff I ordered is supposed to be here Monday. I bought a boxed set of every episode of Cowboy Bebop, one of my favorite anime titles of all time. I also bought two soundtrack CDs of music from Cowboy Bebop. The music is one of the best parts of the show, it works
excellently with the scenes, and is great to listen to even by itself. I got all this swag for only a little over $70, normally the box set alone would have been $100. I found these great deals at one of my new favorite sites. http://www.discountanimedvd.com. This site is great, you can get anime DVDs, soundtrack CDs, manga, wallscroll posters, and other anime related materials for a fraction of the usual price. I got the box set for about $40, less than half the usual price, and the CDs were $11.99 each. The only bad thing about the site is that you have to pay through PayPal. Speaking of PayPal, don't forget that I am now accepting much needed donations, seeing as how I've been out of work for so long now. Just click the link below to send me money. I've seen people much better off than I get money online from these types of things. A few months ago I read about some rich TV producer woman that had run up a $10,000 plus credit card bill by going on a shopping spree, and didn't want to pay it herself, even though she easily could've, so she set up a site like this, and people sent this already rich woman several thousand dollars. Many teenagers are also doing this to get money for college, and some receive several thousands of dollars, so keep in mind that any money you send me will maybe be used on educations, as I would like to resume my schooling sometime soon. I'm not asking for thousands of dollars, though that would be nice. Right now, though, I can't even think about spending money on school, I have much more pressing issues to use it on. So, any amount you want to send will be greatly appreciated.

The iPod has been out for a while, but has now become the hot new must-have item for the summer. The reason for this is accessibility. Macintosh has recently released their new line of improved iPods, that feature many changes and improvements which make the little gadgets even easier to use; also, iPods aren't just for Mac addicts anymore, they are compatible with both Mac and Windows. The awkward rotating "wheel" of the former iPod has been replaced by several easy-to-use touch-sensitive illuminated buttons, eliminating any moving parts which could break down. The entire module has been given a slight image upgrade making it look even cooler. Featuring an ultra-modern titanium and glass look, with illuminated buttons and a back-lit LCD screen, it just LOOKS cool. There are three different models, the 10GB, the 15GB and the 30GB, the 30GB model holding up to 7500 songs. The 10GB model, which holds 2,500 songs should be all the space any sane person would need, but the slightly more expensive 15GB model, which holds 3,700 songs is the better value. Besides having more storage space, it also comes with several accessories that the $299 stripped-down model does not have, that make the extra $100 on the price tag worth it. The 10GB iPod comes with just the iPod, the necessary firewire cables, AC adapter, and headphones. The 15 and 30GB models come with everything the 10GB model has, plus a wired remote, a cool-looking protective carrying case, and the new iPod dock, which makes connecting to your computer and transferring files easier, and also features an audio line-out, allowing you to connect your iPod to speakers or a stereo system. The iPod still has one main drawback, however -- the price. Costing between $299 and $499 they can really lighten your wallet, but it seems this is a sacrifice thousands of people are willing to make. The NY Post recently wrote an article detailing the way in which the iPod has taken over the NY social scene: "There are two types of people in New York: Those who have an iPod and those who want one," write Mary Huhn and Maxine Shen in the New York Post. "The power to cram a jukebox worth of tunes into your shirt pocket is revolutionizing the New York social scene. There are iPod parties, jackets, fan clubs and Web sites galore. People are using the portable MP3 players as alarm clocks, address books and surrogate pets." Full story http://www.nypost.com/entertainment/76291.htm "O" magazine also wrote about the iPod, listing it as one of Oprah's favorite things, and saying that it "will revolutionize your music!" The iPod has also won several awards, such as ZDNet's Editor's Choice Award. And has even been written about in several online comics, such as http://www.pvponline.com/archive.php3?archive=20030520. The iPod is also for more than just music now, it also features calendar and to-do list software, and several games, such as solitaire.

The Tornado just barely missed Baptist Hospital. That's not the one my mom's at though. She's at Presbyterian Hospital. The tornado lifted up briefly, but then touched back down. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/05/tornado-just-barely-missed-baptist.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=94087740
Fuck, this is kinda scary. There's a huge tornado going through Oklahoma city right now. It just got the Xerox Factory. The base of the tornado is over a mile wide. The scary part is that it's only a few blocks north and a few blocks west of the hospital that my mom is in. It should pass plenty north of her though, because it's moving slightly north I think. By the time it gets as far east as she as it should be a good ways north of her, if it doesnt change course or anything.
Well, here I am at my parent's house. My move went fine, and quickly, but not as quickly as I had expected. I was completely moved in by 2:00. There's only two things I forgot and will have to go back and get sometime, my dead bonsai tree I had sitting outside, hoping the sun would resurrect it; and my kettle for boiling water, which I do a lot with all the tea and instant ramen noodle products I consume. Damn, I don't know why I'm so tired. After I moved yesterday I was really tired, I could barely stay awake past 9:00, but I figured that was just because I didn't get much sleep the night before, but today I'm really tired too, even though I got plenty of sleep last night. I managed to find a way to get almost all of my many video games systems into my little TV stand thing. They used to always just sit in the floor and get all dusty. I still couldn't get all of them in there, but I was able to get the X-Box, the Gamecube, the old Nintendo, and the N64. I could probably also get the Playstation 2 in there, since it's a front loading system instead of top loading, I could put it under one of the other systems, but I didn't bother because I need to send it off for repairs. It's been broke for some time now, and I called the tech-support, and they told me to send it like a month ago, but I've been too lazy and poor to send it off. It won't play certain disks, some disks it will still play. There are several different formats of disks, Playstation games have black backs, Playstation 2 games usually have silver or blue back, and music CDs and DVDs have silver backs. The Playstation 2 has several different laser diskreaders in it, one for each type of format, and apparently the one that reads the blue-back disks is broken, because it will still play all the others. A few days ago I spent three days creating a Japanese dictionary, by culling words and definitions from the various Japanese information newsletters I get, and from my Manga comics and other sources. It's pretty cool, it's up to something like 11 pages. I'm on version 2.0 of the dictionary. Everytime I send it out or post it to my website, that's a version. But then I go back and edit it some more, and add more entries, and that's a new version. Version 1.0 was pretty small, and only went out to one person, my friend Chris. But version 2.0 is much larger, and has many more entries. I just posted it on my site, and if you are interested in it, you can download it http://www.geocities.com/subspecies23/jdict2.rtf. It's in .rtf format, created on a Mac, but it should still work on most computers. Warning, it does contain definitions of Japanese profanity and sexual terms My mom goes to the hospital for her surgery tomorrow. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/05/well-here-i-am-at-my-parents-house.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=94003238

Sunday, March 2, 2003 WOW! I'm in an amazing mood right now! One of my best moods ever. I'm in such a great mood right now that not even that fucking skunk can ruin it! Ok, here's where that came from. A couple of hours ago I was driving down the highway, and I was in such a great mood that I was talking to myself, mainly about how great a mood I was in. I was just about to say, "I am in such a great mood right now," but right then I drove past a freshly run over skunk that smelled really bad, so I quickly changed what I was going to say, and said "I am in such a great mood right now that not even that fucking skunk can ruin it!" It was fun. I'm very proud of myself right now, too. I just went shopping. It's like the first time in my life I've ever really gone shopping. Shopping for stuff I need to live, other than stuff I want, like a video game or something. I'm proud of myself because I went to the Wal-Mart super center, the only place open this late, and I got in and out in 35 minutes, and only spent $27.60! With that $27.60 I got enough food to last me at least a week and a half, mostly those Maruchan noodle cups I love so very much. They had those four for a dollar, so I got 8 of them. I also got four huge Hungry Man TV dinners they had two for $5.00, a pack of bagels and some cream cheese, and a couple of boxes of Pop-Tarts because I had a "buy two, get a dollar off" coupon. I also got some other things, such as Q-Tips, and a bottle of Neosporin which was over almost $4.00 alone, all for under $28.00! Except for work, today was a really good day. First, I got up early and went and got some really good breakfast food from Carl's Jr.. Then I went to my parent's house to see them, and to take back some stuff I used when I was moving, and to collect my mail. My parents told me not to change my mailing address yet, because I'm probably not going to be out here very long, and because if the insurance company finds out I'm not living with my parents anymore all our car insurances will go way up, because we won't all be on the same policy anymore, and get a group discount. While I was home my mom also washed my work uniform. I had it with me because I was just going to go straight to work from there, instead of driving all the way back out here and back again. Then I went to work. Work sucked. Actually, there wasn't really anything wrong with work tonight, it wasn't really busy or anything. In fact, it was pretty slow, that was the problem, it was slow and the night dragged by. I didn't think my 8 hours was ever going to end. Alicia came by work for a few minutes, and we talked about going to look at apartments. We went to one the other morning, but they didn't have any vacancies for us to look at, but they have a family leaving a two-bedroom apartment on the 5th. After they leave, they're gonna put some new tile down, and clean the place up a little, and then we can come look at it. It's a pretty nice apartment complex. The ad says they have extra-large rooms, free satellite TV, free water, and there's an on-site laundromat and swimming pool, and the place does Section-8, so maybe me and Alicia can get a small discount, since neither of us make very much, but I doubt it. A two bedroom apartment is $370 a month. Not too bad. Not as cheap as they were in Chickasha though. I was there a few years ago looking at apartments when I first went to college, and most of them were only $325 to $350 for a two bedroom, and I think most of those were free water too. Me and Alicia went to another apartment complex the other day too, but their office was closed that day. They're only open Monday through Friday. This place looks really nice from the outside, but I don't know anything about it. They were only built a few years ago, so they should be nice, and I've heard they're not very expensive, even though they look they would be. We'll have to go back and check that out some day when the office is open. Then after work I went back to my parent's house to change back into my normal clothes, so I could go shopping, without having to drive all the way out here and back again. While I was there I also got something that I've really come to appreciate after living more or less on my own, even after only three days: a free meal. I also got something even better than that from them, too: a space heater! They gave me an old space heater they haven't used in like 20 years. So now my room is warm, instead of being near-freezing. It's been so cold in my room I could barely sleep. I don't know if the space heater will last very long though, it's really old, and kinda rusty, the coils don't even glow orange when it heats up. It doesn't get as hot as it should, but it's enough to warm this tiny room. Then I went shopping, and on the way up there and back, every song on the radio was a good one. Especially on the way back. Then they played three of my favorite songs in a row. First it was "To Be With You," by Mr. Big, a song I've loved ever since it came out at least 10 years ago. Then they played "Sleep Now in the Fire," by Rage Against the Machine, and then "Creep," by Radiohead. It just kept getting better and better! So that is why I am in such a good mood right now. Now I am going to bring this good day to a good end by curling up in my warm bed, which is actually warm tonight, instead of ice-cold. Monday, March 3, 2003 Today was pretty fun. This was my first day off since I've been living out here. This morning Daniel, Olivia and I finished moving all their stuff out here. It only took a little while, then we just goofed off the rest of the day. First we watched a couple of DVDs. First we watched a Best of Benny Hill DVD I have, then we watched Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. Then me and Daniel went outside while Olivia went to Valerie's house to watch Lord of the Rings with her. Daniel had a machete, and I had my big two-handed sword, and we played around outside with them, clearing paths in the overgrown fields, and stuff like that. Then we set off hiking through the woods for an hour or so. I most of my childhood playing in the woods, but it's been probably ten years at least since I really did it, so I was a little rusty. I've got a couple of pretty bad cuts on my hands from the thorn vines that make up most of the undergrowth out there. One cut goes almost all the way across my thumb. That one's gonna hurt tomorrow, especially since that's the thumb I use to work the registers at work. It's a good thing I bought that bottle of Neosporin yesterday, because this cut is pretty nasty looking. Daniel lost his cigarettes and his cell phone somewhere in the woods, though. He was more worried about the cigarettes than the cell phone though, because it was his last pack. After we got done exploring the woods, and then going back out and looking for the cellphone some, we came in and played video games for awhile. Then Olivia came home, and we ate dinner, played video games for a few minutes more, and then Daniel and Olivia went to bed, because they both have to work early, and here I am. So it's not that bad out here. It's pretty cool actually. It will be better once the house gets cleaned up a little, and we get all our stuff unpacked. By the time that happens, though, it will almost be time for me to move out again. While we were out hiking today I finally told Daniel about mine and Alicia's plans, and that I'd only be out here about a month. He already knew. Alicia had told Olivia about it already, and Olivia told Daniel. Daniel said it was fine, he wouldn't be angry with me or anything for moving out so soon. So, I guess that's it for tonight. Tonight's entry was much shorter than the last two. Oh yeah, and it was pretty nice actually having a heater out here last night and today. My room is the warmest place in the house. Especially since we're out of firewood now. We should have some more tomorrow. I slept good last night, it was nice and warm. Friday, March 7, 2003 Yesterday I went and put in an application and got interviewed for 7-11. It was the longest most complicated application process I've ever seen. I was there for two hours. You go in and it's like a doctor's waiting room, people sitting around in a little lobby area. You go up to the desk and get an application and sit down and fill it out. Then you wait for them to call your name. When they do, they take you into this little room, and sodomize you. Not really, but they have this whole line of these little rooms. They're just little rooms, maybe 6 foot by 6 foot, with a front that's mostly glass, and they contain a little table with a chair on each side, and a light and buzzer on the wall. First they take you in there and interview you for a few minutes, then they give you a test to take, and leave you alone. You have twelve minutes to get as much done. When the buzzer goes off you have to stop and hand your test in at the front desk. It's like a little S.A.T. test, with math and vocabulary questions, and drawing of three dimensional stacks of boxes, and you have to figure out how many boxes there would be in the stack, since you can't see all of them, since it's three dimensional, and some boxes are in front of each other. It was like 35 questions, and
you only get 12 minutes. I think I did pretty good though. I got through 30 of them, and there was only one or two that I didn't think were easy. I guess they only want genius employees. Then, after you hand your test in, you sit in the waiting room again. Then they call your name again, and take you back into the little room and interview you some more, then they give you another test. This one isn't timed, but it's much longer. It's personal stuff mainly, stuff like "how would you handle this situation..." or "How often do you lose your temper?" and you select from always, often, average, not very often, or never. Stuff like that. Then after all this, they talk to you a little more and tell you, "We're going to send your tests off and have them scored and looked at by the district manager. If we're going to hire you, we'll call you in two or three days. If you don't hear from us in three days, it means we're not going to hire you." I think my interview went very well. I think I may get the job. They seemed very interested in me. They said sometimes they don't even have everyone do all this stuff their first day applying. They'll just take the application, and then have them come back some other time for the other tests, but they had me do mine all at one time. I hope I get the job. It pays $9.15 an hour starting off, with three guaranteed raises in the first nine months. It also has good benefits, group health plan, profit sharing, paid vacations, and a 401k. At Carl's Jr., I'm making $6.15 an hour after working there for almost 7 years, and there are no benefits. Well, Alicia's probably not going to move in with me after all. Now her mom is planning on moving to San Antonio in a few months, and Alicia's probably going with her. That sucks. Not because I wont be getting an apartment with her, but because she's moving away. I told her, "I don't care where you're living around here, whether it's with me or not, I just don't want you to leave." I will be very sad if she leaves. I wish she'd make up her mind though, whether she's going or staying. We're supposed to go look at an apartment Monday, but there's no need if she's not staying. Actually, even if she's leaving, I may still get the apartment, even though it's a two bedroom, if I get the job at 7-11. I will be able to afford it, and I'd rather have a two bedroom than a one bedroom anyway. So one room can be a computer room. They don't have any one bedroom vacancies at that apartment complex right now anyway. I still hope Alicia's staying though. But, if she really wants to leave, that's fine with me. I'd rather she didn't but I'm not gonna try to stop her or anything. Whatever makes her happy. I wish she COULD find somewhere she would be happy, but I really don't think San Antonio is it. Staying with me probably wouldn't make her happy either. But enough about me, how was your day? Really? Fuck you. I came home from work tonight and Daniel and Olivia had finally gotten the den cleaned up, and some of the stuff out there, then we got the rest of the boxes out of the kitchen and dining room, and stacked them in some of the new space that was opened up, and got some other stuff out to the shed, and got the living room all nice and straightened up, so the house is looking pretty good now. Most of the stuff is still boxed up, but at least it's all in one place, and not in the way anymore. They're hoping to get some of the stuff out of the boxes and the house fixed up even more tomorrow. Well, I better go to bed now. It's 2:00 a.m.. That's the latest I've stayed up in a long time. We were up late doing all that work, we just got done maybe an hour ago. I've been staying up to 1:00 at the latest, and getting up pretty early. Some of the day's I've had to go places or do things I've been having to get up at 7:00 or 8:00 a.m., on the days I get to sleep in I still get up at 9:00 or 10:00. Wednesday, March 12, 2003 It's been a few days since I've wrote anything. I've been busy, not with anything too important, mostly I've just been playing video games and watching movies, now that the den is cleaned up and usable. I haven't even had the computer on in a couple of days. Though a lot of important stuff has happened the last few days, too. First off, I got the 7-11 job! They called me Monday morning and told me, I go in tomorrow for my training and orientation. I'll also find out what store I'll be working at, I don't even know yet. I wonder how long this training takes. I have to be there at the 7-11 offices for it at 7:30 AM. That means I'm going to have to get up at 4:30 or 5:00. I just hope I can remember how to get there, it was way up in the city in an area I've never been to before. That's one reason I'm getting up so early, so I'll have plenty of time to find the place. Though it will take me about an hour to get there from here even if I can find it. Today was my last day at Carl's Jr. Thank God. Though I will miss it a little. I guess I won't be seeing Alicia as much anymore either. In a few months though, I wont see her at all. She's decided she's going to go to Texas with her mom. I can't believe she's leaving. Well, I can believe it, and I guess I'm glad for her, she's finally getting away from this stinking pit of a town. I can believe it, but I don't want to. She's really leaving. I won't get to see her anymore. I wish she'd stay. Or I wish that I could go with her, I want out of this state too. Though I do have a good job now, but I'm not going to let that keep me here forever. I am not going to spend my life in this fucking state. I will get out sometime. I don't know what I'll do without Alicia. She's one of the few things that keeps me more or less sane. One of the few things that keeps me going. This house has a really bad spider problem, and most of them are dangerously poisonous fiddle-backs. I got bit by a fiddle-back a few years ago, I had to go to the hospital, and I missed three days of work. Every morning here I find three or four spiders in my bathroom, usually in the shower. Well, I did until a couple of days ago, when I sprayed the room with bug spray. I haven't seen any since. I've only seen one in my room, thank goodness. This house has another problem, which bothers me even more than the spiders. Scorpions. We saw a couple of little ones over the last week or so, but for some reason now, I've killed two just in the last few hours. One was in the living room, and was so big that the dogs were standing on the other side of the room and barking at it. The other was in the laundry room, and was a little smaller, and was heading for a pile of towels in the floor. So I'm going to be checking everything before I pick it up now. Luckily, I haven't seen any scorpions in my room, and I hope I don't, or I'll have trouble sleeping from now on. I went shopping again the other day. This time I spent $46, but I got a lot more. I went to a Homeland store that does double coupons, and I managed to save $15 with coupons. It's a good thing I had the coupons, though. Homeland stores are expensive! I took my laptop computer when I went to see my mom the other day, so I was able to get online and check my email. I was going to take this file and put all this up on my blog, but I forgot to take this file. I might do it tomorrow evening. I should go to bed now, I should've went instead of writing this, since I have to get up so early. If I went to sleep right now, I could get 6 and a half hours of sleep, but it usually takes me an hour to get to sleep once I go to bed. I'm gonna be dead tired tomorrow. If I get less than 8 hours of sleep I can barely function. I hope I'm not too bad tomorrow, I don't want to screw this up. I've already screwed up too many things, but who cares, whining won't change the past. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/04/shit.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=92509403
So anyway, I shall someday return, but I know not when. Keep your eyes open for my return, and in the meantime, wish me luck. I'll need it. Good-bye. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/so-as-i-said-below-this-is-it-for.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=89818457
I said a couple of nights ago that life was good, but now life fucking sucks. And I have a feeling it's going to suck for a couple of months. I wish I'd never agreed to move in with Daniel and Olivia. Now that I see the house empty and in its "cleaned up" state, I hate it more than ever. And my room is smaller than the room I've been living in. We could barely even get my essentials in there, much less the rest of my crap. The house sucks. It's dirty, and not in very good shape. It's gonna take a lot of work. It's ugly too, and it doesn't have central heat or air. All it's got is a heating vent system connected to the fireplace, so the fireplace has to be left on constantly, which makes me afraid that the house is gonna burn with everything I own in it. And I have several thousand dollars worth of computers and video games and systems. The only AC is one window unit in the living room. There might be one in the den too, but I don't think so. Also, because of the fireplace, that means we're gonna have to spend money on firewood, which is pretty exspensive. Also I'm not gonna have internet service for an unknown amount of time, possibly a month or two. That really sucks, because, sad as this may be, the internet is my life. So, anyway, here's the story of what went on today. I was supposed to go to work today, so about 1:00 I was getting ready for work, but while I was brushing my teeth I got a phone call. It was work, they told me not to come in today, because business was so bad because of the weather. They'd hardly had any business all day, and would probably close early. So then, since I was going to be off tonight, Daniel and I decided to go ahead and move most of my stuff, so we could have the whole day tomorrow to move his and Olivia's stuff. So right now basically all I have here are my bed, my clothes, and my computer, which is on the floor, instead of my desk. Moving sucked, this is the first time I've ever moved. Me and my parents have lived in this house as far back as I can remember, we moved here when I was four or five. I really wish I hadn't moved over there. My parents wish I hadn't too, because the place sucks so much. They've been telling me all night stuff like, "you don't have to move out there. Just tell him you changed your mind, and tomorrow we can move all your stuff back here," or "I'd live out there a week or two, and if you can't stand it, pay him for the month, and move back." Stuff like that. It's really tempting, but I can't do that. Mainly because without my rent money coming they'd barely be able to afford the place. And I'd just feel like an idiot and a bastard if I did that. But I am gonna tell them to start trying to find a new roommate, because I'm getting out of there as soon as I can. I'm not even gonna unpack most of my stuff. Hopefully I'm gonna be there a month or two at the most. I'm not gonna move back home though, I'm gonna try to get an apartment. My parents told me they'd help me pay part of my rent for the first few months even. Until I can get a better job or something. They keep saying I need to find someone to move in with me, in an apartment. They're like, "Maybe you and Alicia could share an apartment, that would be pretty cheap for both of you." And I'm like, "Yeah, I doubt that's gonna happen. Alicia probably wouldn't want to move in with me anyway." Alicia was one of the reasons I wanted to move out there, though. Not the only reason, of course, but a reason. Me, Alicia, Daniel, and Olivia living together would have been really fun, but without Alicia it's gonna suck. On my next day off I'm going to apply at 7-11. The starting pay there is $9.15 an hour. That's $3.00 an hour more than I'm making at Carl's Jr. after working there almost 7 years. Plus at 7-11 you get paid vacations, a 401k, profit sharing, and group health insurance. The only benefit I get at Carl's is half-price food. The bad thing about 7-11 is the risk of getting shot and/or killed, especially if you work nights. You do get paid more for nights though. It say that after working there 60 days, a day worker will make $9.30, a night worker will get $9.40 an hour. I'll probably work days, just so I maybe won't get killed. If I can get the job I'll probably move out of Daniel's place in a month. I hope I get the job. It's one of the highest paying non-professional jobs around here. I'm all depressed and sad now. It doesn't help that my fucking computer keeps deciding to play depressing R.E.M. songs like "Everybody Hurts." I'm sad because it feels like I'm never going to see Alicia again. She's not moving in with us, and we're both trying to find new jobs, so we probably won't work together for very much longer. Even if we do get new jobs, I better still get to see her occasionally, or I'm going to be severely pissed off at her. Alicia's moving in with Curtis now. I think thats a stupid idea. She decided not to move in with us, and go live with her mom again, mainly because she couldn't afford to live with us. But now she's decided that she doesn't want to live with her mom, so she's going to move in with Curtis instead. I wonder how she's gonna afford that? I guess he's not gonna charge her much. She's not gonna have internet access either. I don't think Curtis even has a phone. I can't believe she's moving in with Curtis. Life sucks. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/i-said-couple-of-nights-ago-that-life.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=89818129

I'm still trying to think of a new name for this site. I'm really starting to hate "Welcome to My Underground Lair," but I have still been unable to think of anything better than "Tales from the dork side." I'm looking for something geeky, something that involves computers, or video games, or something like that. Thinking up names or titles has never been my strong point. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/im-still-trying-to-think-of-new-name.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=89697147
Fucking punk-ass Blogger. I was gonna write a post last night, but they were down for a server upgrade, or something like that. Blogger got bought by Google. They claim that the only changes this will cause will be good ones, but I don't know. I bet they ruin it. I've been members of websites that got bought out before, and it always ended up bad. Anyway. Blogger said they'd be down for "a couple of hours," but they lied. I don't know how long they were off, but they were off for at least five hours, that I know of. Alicia decided last night that she's not moving in with us after all. She's moving back in with her mom. I'm disappointed, it would've been a lot more fun with her there. She says she just can't afford it. Dammit, none of us may get to move on Thursday. The weather here in Oklahoma has gotten very bad. Right now its 14 degrees with a wind chill of five below zero. In other parts of Oklahoma it's even colder. And it hasn't done anything in this town yet, but the entire state is in various snow, ice, and sleet warnings. It's pretty bad in lots of places, even right around us, but not here, yet. They're telling people not to go outside, because it's deadly cold, and to stay off the roads. They're telling people to stop and stay in a hotel if they're out somewhere. Depending on where you get your news information, it may or may not be like this for the next week. All the local networks say it's going to be like this until Friday or Saturday, but Weather.com, and other national weather services say that today and maybe Wednesday are going to be the only bad days, the rest of the days are going to be back up in the 40's, and not raining or snowing or anything. I hope they're right, I want to move Thursday, if the weather's bad, I can't. I especially want to hurry and get moved because I already packed everything up. All that's out is my tv and my computer, and my cds and dvds. I already packed up all my video game systems even. Well, that's it for now. I'm gonna go finish the database I'm making. Since I've got all my video games neatly packed away here, I'm making a database of what I own. Afterwards, I'll probably do the same thing with my movies and cds. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/fucking-punk-ass-blogger.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=89677373
now too, like I have been for the last few days. It's a combination of being sick, and the medication. I'm really bored now, too. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/im-moving-next-thursday.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=89538984
THQ has announced an upcoming PS2/GameCube action-adventure title developed by Eurocom, called "Sphinx." They have launched a http://www.thq.com/sphinx/ with a couple of screenshots, and also have issued a http://www.thq.com/sphinx/PressRelease.asp. If the press release can be believed, it sounds like it will be a really cool game. However, I have my doubts, looking at some of http://www.thq.com/ previous releases. In recent years they have released "Britney's Dance Beat," "Scooby-Doo: Night of 1000 Frights," and several mediocre Nickelodeon Cartoonthemed games. On the good side, however, they have been involved in the release of several great Sega games, mostly for the Gameboy Advance. Another hopeful note is that, I think, none of these previous less-than-great games were developed by Eurocom. I've never heard of Eurocom, so I don't know what to expect from them, but hopefully it will be good. THQ's got another game in the works that I have high hopes for, called "Evil Dead: A Fistful of Boomstick," which is, of course, based on the "Evil Dead" series of movies. Any game where you get to play as Bruce Campbell with a chainsaw for an arm, fighting hordes of zombies, is a great game, and THQ would have to do something major to fuck it up. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/thq-has-announced-upcoming-ps2gamecube.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=89360442
http://www.karber.net/textbased/pong/ Yes, you read that right. It's a text version of Pong. Impossible to describe, you'll have to check it out for yourself. You know what Pong is, don't you? If not, you should probably leave now. http://starmen.net/petition/ Mother! The greatest game ever made! What, you've never heard of Mother? Sure you have. In America it was called Earthbound. EARTHBOUND! The weirdest, and best RPG ever made. It was released on the Super Nintendo. For over four years Nintendo kept telling us about the sequel they were working on for the N64, they even released screen shots, but then, you stopped hearing about it. Nintendo suddenly decided not to finish or release it after all. This petition is collecting signatures to show Nintendo how much demand there is for this game, in the hopes they will start working on it again, and someday release it. Go there, now. And sign it, NOW. http://remix.overclocked.org/detailmix.php?mixid=OCR00577 This is pretty weird, but really cool. It's an MP3 of a jazz band performing their version of the theme music to Super Mario Brothers 2. Here's another one I've mentioned before, but is worth noting again. http://www.vgmusic.com/ 14,000+ Game music midi files. And now, WebComics. Most of these are fairly geeky too. Most of them deal with video games and computers, or Japanese stuff like Manga and Anime. http://www.megatokyo.com Of course. I've said so much about this site that all I'm gonna say now is, "Go there. It's great." http://www.penny-arcade.com This is my favorite website at the moment. A great comic strip and news site, all about video games. http://www.nuklearpower.com/ 8-bit Theater is great, its a Final Fantasy comic that uses characters and images from the first Final Fantasy game, in all their 8-bit, pixellated glory. http://www.pvponline.com/ Another geeky webcomic. I haven't really read much of this one, but what I have read has been cool. http://www.scarygoround.com/ This one isnt geeky, but it's pretty cool. http://www.userfriendly.org/ Another computer related comic strip. Ok, here's some more links, that I don't have a catagory for. http://www.douglasadams.com/ The late Douglas Adams. The greatest writer who ever lived. He will be missed. http://www.weirdal.com/ Yeah, Weird Al. One of my favorite singers. Ok, that's all the links Man, I feel pretty bad right now. Not really from the allergies anymore, but from all the medicine I've been taking for them. I can barely stay awake right now. This is true: I am, at this moment, using my laptop computer for a door stop. I needed something heavy, and it was the closest heavy thing posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/i-had-somewhat-surreal-experience.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=89275786
I sent Chris an email and link about that http://www.vgmusic.com I mentioned in a previous post. We've both always loved midi file, especially midi files from the Final Fantasy series of video games. He sent me back the reply, "Dude, you have just made me a hermit." Well, I'm finally finished. I've spent the last few days reading every http://www.penny-arcade.com comic ever. There were lots of them. I have no idea how many, but there's several hundred. I finally read them all though, so now I have reclaimed a large chunk of my life. I was trying to decide whether or not to go to CompUSA. I don't think I will. I'd like to, but with the long drive, and the time I'd spend in the store combined, I'd be gone for at least three hours, and I don't really want to waste three hours of my day off. Also, I shouldn't go, because, if I did, I'd probably end up buying something, and I really shouldn't do that right now. I spent a lot of money on video games and stuff a couple of weeks ago, and I just got a checking account statement from the bank, and I realized I forgot to write my last car payment into my checkbook, so I've actually got $245 dollars less than I thought I had. Also, it's getting pretty close to time for me to move, so I need to save my money a little. We finally decided what day I'd be moving my stuff out there. It was either the 2nd or 3rd of March, I forget which. It was whichever one is on Thursday. I'm still kinda sick today. I've got bad allergies. Not as bad as last night though. When I went to work last night they got really bad. I felt like I was dying. I couldn't quit sneezing, and I had a really bad sinus headache, and lots of other bad shit like that. I don't know, maybe I will go to CompUSA, or maybe just Software Etc, or maybe I'll just stay home. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/i-sent-chris-email-and-link-about-that.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=89265890

Oh my God, I'm in heaven. http://www.vgmusic.com/ They've got like a million midi files from pretty much every video game ever made, even the ones that were only released in Japan. (So this means midis from ALL the Final Fantasy games.) They have midi files from games from pretty much every system ever made, even weird ones like the Turbo Grafx 16 and old ones like Atari and Caleco Vision, and even old computer games from Apple II's and stuff like
that. I just downloaded 64 files from Final Fantasy 1 alone. After finding this site, I may never be seen again. If no one hears from me in a week, send someone in after me. I'll be in my room, still sitting in front of my computer, downloading midis. They even have remixes and different versions of lots of the music. For example, they had a punk version of Prelude, the Final Fantasy theme harp music. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/oh-my-god-im-in-heaven.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=89227649

Hey, wow, I've actually been having some visitors lately, it would appear. I'd noticed it looked like I was, looking at my counter, but I just confirmed it by looking at the detailed statistics for my counter. This week alone I've had 75 visitors. 11 a day on average. Of course, Alicia and I probably count for about a third of those. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/hey-wow-ive-actually-been-having-some.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=89195407
It's snowing! Who cares! Actually, I do, a little. I like it when it snows. I still get excited when school is cancelled, even though I haven't been in school for years. Tonight at work sucked. It was really slow all night, but we were short-handed, so they couldn't send anyone home early. Mariah got fired, that's why we were short handed. I'm glad she got fired, and I think most everyone else is too. I fell out of bed on the morning of the 14th. About 8 a.m. I just suddenly rolled out of bed. I hurt my leg too, I think I hit it on my desk chair. This morning I almost fell out of bed again. I've never fallen out of bed before. I'm surprised it doesn't happen all the time though, the way I toss and turn and change positions all night. Once I even woke up upside down in bed, my head was at the foot of the bed. Damn, my feet stink. What's up with that? The last week my feet have smelled really bad. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/its-snowing-who-cares-actually-i-do.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=89175892

My http://www.megatokyo.com shirt I ordered arrived today! Just like I figured it would. It arrived at about 8:00 this morning, that's odd. I was off today. I had planned on staying home all day playing video games. I wasn't even going to leave the house. That plan was ruined about 20 minutes after I woke up. Chris' mom called. The military mail is running several weeks behind, because they are using all their planes to ship troops around, preparing for Bush's upcoming war with Iraq, instead of using them to send mail. So Chris' parents, who have to do his taxes here in Oklahoma while he is in Iceland, haven't even received his W-2 forms or anything yet. So his mom called me and had me look up his forms on the internet and print them out and bring them to her. It took me over an hour to do that. Then I had to leave the house to take them to her. And, since my plans had already been ruined, I decided to go a few places, since I was already out anyway. I went to the comic store, and bought the third volume of Love Hina, but that's all I bought today. I need to quit spending so much, especially since I'm about to move out, and will actually have to be spending money on bills and food and stuff. I've always had it pretty good with money. I have a shitty job, and make next to nothing, but I've never had many bills, so I get to save a lot of it, or blow it on junk. As a result, I have more money than most of my friends. I've never experienced being broke. I've never had to scrounge through the couch for change so I can put enough gas in my car to get to work, or to get something to eat, like a lot of teenagers and young adults do. Currently, my assets total a little over four thousand dollars. Anyway, after the comic store, I came home, and finally got around to playing video games. I decided to start playing Final Fantasy 2 again. In my opinion, Final Fantasy 2 was the best Final Fantasy, and one of the best video games of all time, with Final Fantasy 9 running a close second. Final Fantasy 9 was great, because Square kind of went back to their roots with that one, it was more like the old Final Fantasy games. These latest ones suck. 7 was pretty good, but not great, 10 was about the same, and 8 SUCKED. I don't like these new ones. Sure they've got amazing graphics, and cool cut scenes, and thirty minute animations every time you use a summon spell, but game play, the design of the game sucks. It's not really that the story is bad, either. The main things I don't like are the almost futuristic worlds. I like the old ones, with swords and armor and magic. I also don't like these new way-too-complicated inventory systems, and strange new forms of learning abilities, instead of the old fashioned experience points, and "you gained a level. Learned Fire-2." The weird system of putting the jewels and stuff on your weapons to learn powers and spells, like they had in Final Fantasy 8, was so confusing, I never did really figure it out, and had no idea what I was doing. And that weird ability-path-thing in 10? I hate that thing. Final Fantasy 9 had the best music, followed by 2 and 3. So, I played FF2 for like 6 hours in all today, and that's pretty much all I've done tonight. I did go to Carl's Jr for awhile, because Daniel and Alicia were working. I didn't really get to talk to Alicia though, she was too busy flirting with Jimmy. I had planned on playing other video games today too, but I didn't have time. I had been planning on playing Halo. I also need to play Panzer Dragoon Orta again, I'm on the last boss, but I can't beat it. I need to force myself to play it until I beat it, or I'll end up doing like I've done with so many other games. Getting to the last boss, or the last half of the game, and getting to some part I have trouble with, and never playing the game again. Also, if I beat it, it would be one of only about 5 games I've ever beaten. I hardly ever beat video games. I usually just get bored with them long before I ever beat them. I've never beaten a Final Fantasy game before. The closest I've gotten is I got to the last boss fight on FF2, but I never could beat him. I've fought him probably 50 times, and never even come close to beating him. On Final Fantasy 9 I got almost to the last boss, I'm to like the last area you go to, the boss' lair. But I still have to go through it, and fight a bunch of other bosses to get to him. The rest of the FF games I've only gotten about halfway through. This ended up being a huge post, mostly about Final Fantasy. I hadn't planned on writing but a few sentences, and all I was going to say about Final Fantasy was that I played it today. For some reason, though, it always turns out that way. The days I plan on just barely writing anything, I end up writing for an hour. (actually this post just took me a few minutes to type) And the days I want to write a lot, I can't think of anything to write. Even my short posts are long compared to most other blogs I've seen. Most other people are just like "Today I went to school/work. There, (someone) made me angry. That bitch/fucker. Tomorrow night I have a date with my boyfriend/girlfriend." And that's all they write, and they only do that two or three times a week. But not me, I just go on and on and on and on and on and on and on. Just like I'm doing right now. I had planned on stopping after that last paragraph, but instead I kept going. That last paragraph made me have Deja Vu. I'm even having Deja Vu about saying that I am having Deja Vu. That happens a lot though. For some reason, almost every time I get Deja Vu, I get a feeling of Deja Vu about having Deja Vu about whatever it is I'm having Deja Vu about. I should probably stop now. But I won't. I wish I could write this much when I want to write. When I'm trying to write a story or something. But I can't. I've had a severe case of writer's block for several years now. It really sucks. And when I do manage to write something, it's always just something extremely silly, something that no one but me, and maybe a couple of friends, would find funny, or even understand. Or maybe it's just something extremely silly, and stupid. Like this: Fooby! The Continuing Saga By Kevin Underwood
One day Fooby was walking down the street when suddenly some guy on the sidewalk yelled, What the fuck are you doing in the middle of the road you fucking moron? Now that wasnt very nice, Fooby said, but hes right, I could get hurt out here. So Fooby started walking on the sidewalk instead and promptly tripped. Ouch, Fooby said. Suddenly he saw his friend Poopy walking down the sidewalk towards him. Gosh, Fooby, Poopy said, what are you doing on the ground? I tripped on something, Poopy, Fooby said, getting up and brushing himself off. He and Poopy looked and saw what he had tripped on. Laying on the sidewalk was a grinning human skull. It was very clean and white, almost to the point of gleaming.
Gosh, Fooby, Poopy said. How do you think that got there? I dont know, Poopy, Fooby said. Poopy bent over to pick up the skull. No, Poopy, no! Fooby yelled. A strange glow and an eerie noise began to emanate from the skull. Poopys body began to shake violently. Suddenly Poopy exploded! No, Poopy, no! Fooby yelled. No Poopy! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Do not weep, said a voice, things die all the time, and everyone must die sooner or later. I just make sure its sooner instead of later. Fooby looked and saw the skull was floating in mid-air and looking straight at him!
See, that was really weird. And I didn't even finish it. I hardly ever finish anything I write. That's the last thing I was able to write, and that was almost a year ago. This is my longest post ever, I think.

I'm thinking of changing the name of my blog, getting rid of "Welcome to My Underground Lair," and getting something better. Besides, there's about a million sites on the internet that already have that name. I'm wanting something geeky. Right now I'm leaning towards "Tales from the Dork Side," but that's also about the only one I've thought of so far. Of course, if I change the name of my site I'll have to change my listings on places like bloghop.com and the Eatonweb Portal, and I'll need to resubmit my site to all the search engines. And that's gonna be a big pain. I don't even know if I can change the name on Eatonweb. Of course, all this is a fairly moot point since no one actually reads this thing. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/im-thinking-of-changing-name-of-my.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=88791003
Even after almost 7 years of working at Carl's Jr., the stupidity of our customers continues to amaze me. Tonight I was working drive through, and a guy said he wanted "five junior hamburgers, with meat and cheese only." A junior hamburger with cheese is a junior cheeseburger, so when I repeated his order back, I said "ok, that's five junior cheeseburgers, plain," and he said angrily "no, I want junior HAMBURGERS." I said "well, didn't you say you want cheese on them?" and he said yes, so I said "Ok, then that would be five junior cheeseburgers. Do you want anything else?" And he drove off, and flipped me off as he drove past. We all thought it was funny, especially the manager. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/even-after-almost-7-years-of-working.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=88788009

Ok, it's links time. I haven't done this in a while. Holy shit. http://www.pixyland.org/peterpan/ It's the web page of some pathetic 49 year-old guy who thinks he's Peter Pan. This page is full of such things as "Although Peter pan is definitely a boy, to me this character is perfectly asexual, and in his eternal childhood rejects the idea of growing up and leaving this behind... Unfortunately this society has deified their gender boundaries, especially the rules of what boys should and should not like or do, and have made them into gods." And, if seeing pictures of this guy dressed as Peter Pan isn't enough to make you wish you were blind, he's also got a gallery of himself dressed as a Christmas Elf. http://www.dribbleglass.com/articles/animal-kingdom.htm The name pretty much says it all. This is an interesting, and humorous, article about strange sexual facts and habits of various animals and insects. Want to know how big a whale's penis is? Which animal has sex in only 2 seconds? Then read this, you sicko. http://davebarry.blogspot.com/ Yes, the weblog of THE Dave Barry, the hilarious syndicated columnist. This site is where I got the previous two links. It appears that's the main function of his site, links to weird news stories and websites. This is sure to become one of my favorite sites. http://www.penny-arcade.com/ Another Webcomic.

I have one thing to say about this report: What...the...fuck? LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Men who don't shave every day enjoy less sex and are 70 percent more likely to suffer a stroke than daily shavers, a new study shows. Full story http://www.cnn.com/2003/HEALTH/02/06/offbeat.health.shaving.reut/index.html The weirdest thing about this report is the strange "sterotyping." This report seems to suggest that any man who doesn't shave everyday is a pathetic, smoking, alcoholic, loser who leads a quote, "Poorer lifestyle than men who shave daily," and have "low levels of testosterone...and (have) less opportunity for sex." I repeat: What the fuck? Oh, and, yes, I do shave every day. Only very occasionally do I skip a day, maybe once a month. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/i-have-one-thing-to-say-about-this.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=88719733
A while back I signed up for a "Word of the Day" e-mail thing. The word I got yesterday I find very interesting. bardolater \bar-DAH-luh-ter\ (noun) : a person who idolizes Shakespeare Example sentence: The annual Shakespeare festival attracts bardolaters from all over the world.
Did you know? George Bernard Shaw once described a Shakespeare play as "stagy trash." Another time, Shaw said he'd like to dig Shakespeare from the grave and throw stones at him. Shaw could be equally scathing toward Shakespeare's adoring fans. He called them "foolish Bardolaters," wrote of "Bardolatrous" ignoramuses, and called blind Shakespeare worship "Bardolatry." Oddly enough, Shaw didn't despise Shakespeare or his work (on the contrary, he was, by his own admission, an admirer), but he disdained those who placed the man beyond reproach. The word "bardolater," which Shaw coined by blending Shakespeare's epithet "the Bard" with an affix that calls to mind "idolater," has stuck with us to this day, though it has lost some of its original critical sting. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/while-back-i-signed-up-for-word-of-day.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=88677304
Ok, so, yeah, Panzer Dragoon Orta is pretty damn cool. The bad thing is, I just bought it yesterday, and I'm already to the last boss. I'm having a hard time beating it though. It's beat me a couple of times. I'm really bad when it comes to being beaten bya video game, I don't like it, it pisses me off. Of course, no one likes it, but I'm even worse. Most people expect to be beaten by a video game, and they take it as a challenge, a sign they need to work harder. If the game was easy, no one would play it. I however don't like being beaten at all. If I get beaten, I get mad, and sometimes never play the game again. I've hardly ever beaten a video game in my life, a lot of the time I'll get to the last boss, get beaten, and never play again. I need to stop doing that. I need to build my video game skills again. I used to be a video game master when I was a kid, but once I got into my late teens, I stopped playing as much, and most of the games I have played in recent years are all RPGs. RPGs don't take much skill. They don't need speed, and hand-eye-coordination, they require brains, strategy, knowing what weapon/attack/spell to use in a certain situation. As such, my game skills have fallen to an embarassing level. I have to play all my video games on easy, and then I still can't beat them. I have P.D.O. set on easy right now, after I beat it on easy, I will put it up on normal, and try to beat it again I really like video-games. I wish I was one of those video game/computer game junkies, that overclock their processors to acheive greater performance, and obsessively waited for new "next big thing" games to come out, and wait in lines over night to get their hands on a copy of "Never Winter Nights," stuff like that. I wish I was like that, but I'm not, I just don't seem to have the time to play video games anymore, I haven't for years. I don't play many video games anymore, and about the only computer games I've ever really played are "Doom", and "The Sims." I spend too much time on the internet. And I don't even really do that much on the internet. For example, tonight I've been sitting at this computer for about 5 hours now, and I haven't done a damn thing. I've basically just been staring at the screen, and occasionally reading a few Megatokyo comics. I don't even know why I've been doing that, I finished all the Megatokyo comics a couple of days ago. But now I've started over, and am reading them again. And in spite of all the time I spend on computers, and the internet, I don't know much about them anymore either. I used to be a computer whiz. I took a two year vo-tech course in Computer Electronics and Computer Repair. If handed a mother board, and disk drives, all the component parts like that, I could build a computer. I was a master at DOS. I went to college originally wanting to be a computer programmer, I took a couple of courses, I learned to program in QBasic pretty good, and knew a little C++, and I knew HTML very well. But then I dropped out of college and lost interest in computers for a few years, and now my skills have all dissappeared. Even if I still knew it all it is outdated and no longer worth anything. DOS no longer exists, QBasic no longer exists. The computer technology is so far advanced from where I used to be, I can't even understand what it's talking about when I read a Best Buy computer ad. The computers I learned on in my vo-tech course were old. Some of them didn't even have hard drives. They only had a couple of disk drives, or if they did have a hard drive, it was only like 25 megabytes. The computer I owned at home at that time was the best one you could get. It had a 75Mhz Pentium processor with 4 megabytes of RAM and a 300 megabyte hard drive, and a 2400 baud rate modem. Nowadays, it's hard to believe computers like that even existed at one time. When I was a kid, I used to be able to draw. Very well, and I never had any lessons, or took art class or anything. But then, when I got older, that skill left me too. Now I can barely draw stick figures. I finally took art in High School and failed it. That's the only class I ever failed until I went to college, and the only reason I failed college classes was because I always stopped going to them, and eventually dropped out. When I was a kid, I used to be smart. As little as five years ago, I used to have a huge vocabulary. Now my vocabulary has deteriorated to point that I can barely express myself. It's embarrassing. When I was a kid, I used to be able to do lots of things. So, my skills in every area are gone or failing. And that, I think, is the best explanation for why I am the way I am. Why I live this pathetic life. I have no skills of any kind. I have become a useless lump of flesh, not capable of contributing anything to society. It's a horrible feeling really. My life is slowly dissappearing. I have trouble even remembering anything from more than five years ago. And everything since then isn't worth remembering. It's just the same thing day after day, one day blurring into the other. Wake up, go to work, watch tv, surf the internet, go to sleep. Repeat. It may sound like a joke, or a cliche to say this, but, I think Carl's Jr. really did have something to do with it. It wasn't until I started working there that things really started to go bad. I still had a huge vocabulary, and some skills, when I started working there. But that place broke my spirit in the worst way. Ok, so, yeah, my life sucks. But I'm trying to change that. I'm finally moving out of my parent's house, and I'm going to find a better job, and I mean it this time. I've been saying that for 4 years, but all I ever do is fill out a couple of applications, and complain when they don't call me. I'm also going to work on becoming a computer and video game geek again. Most people probably wouldn't consider that last one a life improvement, but I do. That's the kind of life I want to live. Ok, I've been sitting here too long. This blog is another thing that is sucking vast amounts of my life away. I spend way too much time on this thing, or thinking about what I'm going to write tomorrow, stuff like that. It would be different if it was actually entertaining or useful, of if anyone even read it. But it's not. It sucks, and almost no one reads it. I'm going to go do something else now. I may write again tomorrow. Maybe not. Maybe I'll quit this thing. Maybe no one cares. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/ok-so-yeah-panzer-dragoon-orta-is.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=88636340
Girl? What the hell? Yes! I found a web page that shows/explains lots of different Japanese smileys. Japanese smileys are the ones you see sometimes that you don't read sideways, like American smileys, i.e. :-) Japanese smileys are like this, (^ - ^) That is a smile/happy emoticon, the mouth may not look like a smile, but you have to go by the eyes. Here are some more: (^ _ ^) Smile/Happy. (*^ _ ^*) Smile and blushing. (>_<) Ouch/Unhappy. Angry (-_-)zzz Sleeping. (T _ T) Crying (Tears are running down the face like in Japanese Anime/Manga) (o_o?) What? When you are confused, don't understand, or are just pretending ignorance. (^ _ ^)V Victory! Making the "V for Victory" sign. (-_-) Getting angry inwardly. Angry but not really showing it. (^ ^)// Happy, applauding. (^ _ ^;) Surprised, embarrased, amazed. Cold sweat drop on the head like in Anime/Manga. (o_o )( o_o) Looking around, looking for something. (@_@) Dizzy/Giddy. (- . -)y-~~ Smoking a cigarette. (^_-)-* Wink. (^ . ^)/ Waving. (; . ;)/ Waving goodbye and crying. (=^ . ^=) Cat. This can also be combined with some of the others to get cat moods. ~~~~(m--)m Flying ghost/spirit/demon. I like this one. Here's the links to the pages that I got these from. http://club.pep.ne.jp/~hiroette/en/facemarks/body.html a small sample of the most popular ones. And http://club.pep.ne.jp/~hiroette/en/facemarks/list_index.html is a more complete long list. I could've just done that in the beginning and saved a lot of time and space, but I didn't want to. It's my blog, I can do what I want. (>_<) posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/dammit.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=88602386

I found another one of those weird Japanese flash animations, made by the same person (I think) that made the other two I posted some time ago. (http://www7.ocn.ne.jp/~helpme/flash/chinko_anesan.swf and http://www.geocities.co.jp/MusicStar-Keyboard/2348/fumei/uwan.swf) This movie, though, isn't made with ascii art, though it has some of the same characters, and manages to have the same look, even though it is a completely different style. This one is pretty weird. It's all about Kikkoman, the superhero of sauces. http://yoga.tripod.co.jp/flash/kikkomaso.swf By the way, shoyu, pronounced "show you," is Japanese for soy sauce, and Kikkoman, is of course, a brand of soy sauce. Here is a version of that same movie, subtitled in English. Also they appear to have done a small amount of editing to it. http://yoga.tripod.co.jp/flash/kikkomaso_e.htm posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/i-found-another-one-of-those-weird.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=88520657
Dammit, email, for the last time, I don't want to buy Viagra, and I don't care if "these girls will make your balls explode!" I'd really rather not have my balls explode anyway, I'm kind of fond of them. Also, I do not wish to receive any more emails about penis enlargement. You really know how to make a guy feel insecure. And I did not sign up to receive any of these emails, I don't care how many times you claim I did. Yes, I received all of the above mentioned emails, all in about the last five minutes. They've gotten even worse than usual, and I don't know why. I haven't even been going to porn sites lately. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/dammit-email-for-last-time-i-dont-want.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=88519703
My 12 year old sister made me very proud today. We were watching the news about the Space Shuttle Columbia explosion, and they were talking about how Bush (DUH-bya) had to come back from Camp David because of it, and she asked what Camp David was. My mom told her it was a retreat for the president, a vacation house where they go to relax. And my sister said, "Yeah, I bet he needs a vacation. After all, starting all those wars is hard work." Like I said, I was proud of her. But, yeah, that's what happens when you're raised in my family. The same thing happened to me. My parents are very antirepublican. If we weren't so lazy we'd probably all be bomb-throwing liberal activists. I however have evolved beyond the standard two-party right-wing-orleft-wing mind set. My political views are so far out there they can't even be classified. My political views are so extreme as to verge on being religious views. In fact, that religion has a name. http://www.subgenius.com So, I'm really excited about moving in with Daniel, Olivia and Alicia. Daniel was telling me all about the place today. The house sounds really great, it's got three bedrooms, a den, an office, a huge kitchen and a dining room and two bathrooms, and a large living room,and the rooms are all pretty big. But what excites me even more is the land around the house. It's out in the country, in the middle of nowhere, and it's on five acres. On the five acres there are 4wheeler trails and "canyons." Best of all, though, is there is a large forest area nearby. I can't wait, I'm gonna be spending a lot of time outside exploring it all. Especially the forest, I love the forest, but I haven't been in one in a few years. I grew up spending most of my time off alone in the forest. I used to be able to walk through the forest and hardly make a sound. I was like an Elf or something. Another thing that's cool is that I'm gonna have to pay a lot less to live there than I figured. Based on the monthly house payments for the house, I figured I'd have to pay somewhere between $200 and $300 dollars. But they're not splitting it evenly, me and Alicia each only have to pay $175 a month. How great is that? Yeah, work sucked tonight. It was pretty busy. The last couple of hours were really slow though, so I got all my work done really early, and then just stood around reading "Love Hina." Mina-san, sayoonara. (Good-bye, everyone.) posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/02/my-12-year-old-sister-made-me-very.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=88412092
Hey, cool. I may be finally moving out of my parents place soon, and moving in with Daniel, Olivia and Alicia. Daniel and his wife Olivia are moving again, and Alicia has been living with them anyway, and so she's moving with them and will still be living with them. The new house they are moving into sounds really nice. Its got four bedrooms, one of which they are going to make a den/entertainment room, and is out in the country, and is in good shape and really nice looking, from what I hear. Anyway, Daniel and Alicia were talking about it at work earlier, and they were saying that maybe their friend Melissa (I think, I suddenly blanked on her name, they usually just call her "Moisty." Don't ask, because I don't know.) would move in with them. Then Daniel said that if she didn't maybe I could. And I was like, yeah, maybe. Then I came back home, I'm off today, I was just hanging out at Carls Jr. because I was bored. About an hour ago Daniel called me from work and told me "Me and Olivia were just talking about it, and she said that you moving in would be fine, and we'd really rather have you move in than Melissa. So if you want to you can." Stuff like that. So I was like, "yeah cool, I'll have to think about it, it's a big step, but there's a good chance I will." There's plenty of time for me to think about it, they aren't moving until the first of March. I'm actually excited about it. It would be cool to move in with them. And it will be really nice to finally get out of my parent's house. I would really like to live alone, but this will be better FOR me. This way I will be forced to be around people, and have some social interaction. And these people are my only friends around here, so that's cool too. I wonder how many bathrooms the house has? I don't think they mentioned that. With four bedrooms it should have two. I hope so, only having one bathroom would be annoying. I spent lots of money today. I went on a Japanese shopping spree. I went to the comic store and bought lots of stuff. I bought a magazine called "Anime Invasion," it's an anime news magazine. I also bought a comic book, well, more accurately, a graphic novel, it's got something like 150 pages. It's volume one of "Love Hina." It's pretty weird. As the back of the book says, "When Keitaro Urashima fails his entrance exam to get into Tokyo University for the second time, he's officially and unemployed and uneducated slacker. To make things worse, his parents have kicked him out of his house. Fortunately his grandmother owns the fabulous Hinta House, and Keitaro is going to be the new caretaker. What he doesn't know is the lodge is actually a girl's dorm and he's the only guy around! Most guys would kill to live with five cute girls, but if Keitaro's not careful, this job will kill him." So, yeah, it sounds like a porno, but it's not that bad. There's no sex scenes, but there are lots of gratuitous scenes of cute manga girls in various states of undress. Because of "wacky hijinks" Keitaro somehow finds himself in a precarious situation that makes it look like he's watching the girls bathe on purpose or something. For example, in one part he's walking through his room in a towel, because he just took a bath or something (I haven't actually read it yet, just skimmed it) and he somehow falls off the balcony and ends up hanging on for his life, naked, in a tree, over the girl's outside bathing pool (like the one on "Tenchi Muyo") while they are all in it bathing. So then they discover him and call him a pervert and kick his ass. Something like this happens every five minutes. I also bought some "Pocky." This is a snack product that is very popular in Japan. I ordered some of this from the http://www.jlist.com website, but it hasn't come in yet. So when I saw it at the comic store, I had to try it. It's pretty good. It's weird, it's like a little crunchy breadstick dipped in chocolate. Then I went to Hastings. They're about the only store around here that actually sells Anime. There's one other I know of but they're really expensive. It can be hard to find Anime and Manga and stuff like that in Oklahoma. There I bought a DVD of the movie "Akira," and a DVD that has the first four episodes of Yu Yu Hakusho. I like that show, they show it on Cartoon Network now. Add to all this the fact that I've been reading more http://www.megatokyo.com comics all day, and I've spent the entire day immersed in Japanese stuff. Good, I like Japanese stuff. I dream of one day going to Tokyo. First I'd have to learn Japanese, though. I took a Japanese class in college, and I've done some studying of it on my own, but I never learned to read any of the writing, and I've forgotten almost all of the verbal language I once knew. I can still count to 19, but that's about all I remember. Ok, I'm gonna go watch "Akira" now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/hey-cool.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=88365246
"Yellow" by Coldplay (p.s. I don't know what language those weird words are. But I have been assured that these are the correct lyrics. Look at the stars, Look how they shine for you, And everything you do, Yeah, they were all yellow. I came along, I wrote a song for you, And all the things you do, And it was called "Yellow". So then I took my turn, Oh what a thing to have done, And it was all "Yellow." Jeg sked, h ja jeg sked en bums, Turn into something beautiful, You know, you know I love you so, You know I love you so. I swam across, I jumped across for you, Oh what a thing to do. Cos you were all "Yellow", I drew a line, I drew a line for you, Oh what a thing to do, And it was all "Yellow." Jeg sked, h ja jeg sked en bums, Turn into something beautiful, And you know, For you I'd bleed myself dry, For you I'd bleed myself dry. It's true,
Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine for, Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine for you, Look how they shine.

Tonight sucked. I was in a really bad mood earlier, but then I came home and read some http://www.megatokyo.com, and that cheered me up a little. Work really sucked, it was very busy at times, and there was a lot of drama. I don't want to go into it here, because I don't know the whole story, and also because I don't really care. If you really want to know what happened, check out http://www.stuffexplodes.blogspot.com. She doesn't have anything about it up yet, but I figure she probably will eventually. I was already in a bad mood anyway, work just made it worst. I've been feeling a little depressed today, but, what else is new? Anyway, I'm in a much better mood now, but I'm also tired, so I'm going to bed now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/tonight-sucked.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=88315505
I have a new obsession! The best website I've seen in a long time! It's a cool comic strip, a must for anyone who is a fan of Anime, Manga, Computer Games, or popular Japanese Culture. I've spent all my free time today reading this, and will most likely spend the next two days reading it, until I finish reading all the old strips. Then I'm probably gonna but some of the t-shirts they sell through http://www.thinkgeek.com. Ok, here's the link. Go there. Read it. Love it.

hood and got all the dead leaves off the vents and from under the windshield wipers and stuff. I also bought some decals. It's a red Chinese dragon with a Chinese writing symbol over it's head. I put them on the back section of the rear side windows, (the little triangular part that doesn't roll down) one on each side. I also put some fuel injector and carbuerator cleaner in the gas tank. (I have no idea what a carbuerator even is) Yeah, ok, so now my car is even more of a "pimp car," as some of my friends have called it. I hate that word. I hate it when people refer to things as pimp, or pimpin' or call themselves pimps.

I haven't felt much like writing on this thing the last few days. There's not much to tell anway. Just the same crap as usual. I get up, watch tv, or get online for a couple of hours, and then go to work. Then when I come home I watch tv or get online for a few hours, maybe exercise a little, and then about 2 a.m. I go to bed. Then the next day I do it all over again. Pretty boring. I haven't even seen any good websites in several days. I mainly sit here and look at the same few sites over and over. Mainly just a few blogs, waiting to see if the people put any new posts up. I've been pretty bored for the last few days. There hasn't even been anything good on tv for a couple of days now. And in spite of having 451 MP3s on my computer, I can't find anything I want to listen to. I watched "Fists of Fury," a Bruce Lee movie last night, but it sucked so much I didn't even finish watching it. I have to go to work today. I have to be there at 4:00, which is weird, I've never went in at 4:00 on a Sunday, I always go in at 2:00. On Sundays we close early, at 10:00, that's only 5 and a 1/2 hours taking off half an hour for my break. That's barely going to give me enough time to get my work done, especially if we're busy. It's usually pretty slow on Sundays, though. I haven't even worked with any of my friends at work the last few nights. It's been Curtis as the manager, and a new person, Mariah. I had to train Mariah on drive-through the other night. I hate training people. She's not a very good worker either, all she does is stand around all night, talking to Curtis and Jimmy, because she knows them. They all live together, or something. Neither Daniel or Alicia have worked in a few days. I think Daniel worked a couple of days ago, but he worked in the morning. Alicia keeps getting the weekends off for some reason. I think she works today, but in the morning. She'll be gone by the time I get there, or just leaving. Daniel does work tonight, though. Dammit! There's still nothing on! Comedy Central has been showing stupid movies I've never even heard of all morning. "She's Having a Baby" just went off, and now "The Out of Towners," or something like that, is coming on. I've never even heard of either of them. I watched a few minutes of "She's Having a Baby," and it sucked. Oh well, if they weren't showing stupid movies, they'd just be showing Saturday Night Live all day, like they usually do. There's never anything good on Comedy Central until like 9:00 or 10:00 at night. Cartoon Network has been showing Scooby Doo all morning. I hate Scooby Doo! First, one of those stupid Scooby Doo features they've made in the last few years, "Scooby Doo and the Alien Invaders," I think it was, was on, and then after that just an old episode of Scooby Doo came on, and now another one is coming on! I HATE SCOOBY DOO! And, to top everything off, in spite of dieting and exercising for the last couple of weeks, I'm not losing any weight! The last few years I haven't been able to lose weight very easily. Used to, when I went on a diet, I'd lose 4 or 5 pounds a week, usually. Now anymore, I usually lose about 20 pounds fairly quickly, but then I can't lose anymore, no matter how long I diet. This time I'm not losing any weight at all. In fact, I think I'm gaining weight now! I haven't weighed in a few days, but I feel like I'm getting fatter. And then, in about a week, those weird Japanese candies I ordered will come in, and I'll eat them all. Actually, I'll probably share them with my sister. I also ordered a Hamtaro notebook for her from the website. Wow, this post turned out pretty long. Though all it is is a bunch of bitching and whining. When i sat down to write it, I couldn't think of anything to write about. All I planned on writing was "I just haven't felt much like writing the last few days." And that was about all I intended to write. Instead, it turned into my longest post in several days. I signed up for a "religious joke of the day" email thing, and just received today's. It's pretty good: One Sunday morning, the pastor noticed little Johnny standing in the foyer of the church, looking at a large plaque that hung there. After the young man of seven had stood there for some time, the pastor walked up beside him and said quietly, "Good morning, son." "Good morning, Pastor," replied the youngster, not taking his eyes off the plaque. "Can I ask you, Sir, what is this for? Why are all these names listed on here?"
"Well, son, these are all the people who have died in the service," replied the pastor. Soberly, they stood together, staring up at the large plaque. Little Johnny's voice barely broke the silence when he asked quietly, "Which one, Sir, the 8:30 or the 10:30?"
That's about how I feel about church services. Ok, I'm gonna go exercise or something now. I wish it wasn't so cold, I usually like to go for walks when I'm on a diet, but it's been too cold the last week. The last few days the high has been in the 20's sometimes up to low 30's. Yesterday was the warmest day we've had in several days, it got up to something like 48 degrees. Ok, that's it, I'm leaving now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/i-havent-felt-much-like-writing-on.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=88054414
Someone just told me about the greatest website! I just spent the last three hours browsing this site, and buying things from it. http://www.jlist.com. It's got all kinds of Japanese stuff, mostly available only in Japan. All kinds of toys, anime, Japanese foods and snacks, books, clothes, calendars and posters of Japanese women, and adult products, such as hentai and Japanese porno movies. So far all I bought were several weird little Japanese candies, but I'm gonna have to go back and get some of those calendars. I've got a "thing" for Asian women, they are so beautiful. Yargh, I'm tired. It's about time for bed. And my face hurts, I've been practicing smiling, partly as part of my attempts to develop a better attitude. I never smile, I hardly know how to smile. And partly because of the benefits. Smiling supposedly makes you feel better, and all that. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/someone-just-told-me-about-greatest.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=87943430
Yikes! Hey, my chair is working again! I got a nice new desk chair for Christmas, I forgot to mention that before. It's a really nice one, it rolls and leans back, and all those good things. A week ago, however, it suddenly stopped reclining. I was just sitting in it, leaning back, then I sat up, and, a few minutes later, I went to lean back again and it wouldn't anymore. But just now I was sitting in it, and I was sitting back in it when suddenly, POP! Something made a loud pop noise and the chair reclined very quickly and I almost fell over backwards. Oh, wow! I just got an email from "KrazedLatinThug," promising, and I quote exactly, "25 % Annual Returns on yor money. Yeah, I've always wanted to take financial advice from someone named KrazedLatinThug. Kind of like the other night when I got an email for a porn site from "JuicyBobGurl." I don't think I even want to know what that means. Well, I'm going to go read now. I'm in the middle of three different books. I do that a lot. I'll buy one book, and then stat reading another book before I'm done with the first one. Sometimes I never do finish the first one. Usually it's something in the first book that makes me want to read the new one. I'll be reading the book and I'll get really interested in the subject, and go and buy some more books about the subject. Ok, bye bitches. Go away. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/today-was-pretty-boring-day.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=87768213
I bought a book tonight, and already finished it. I started it at about 6:45 and finished it at about 9:45. I'm surprised it took that long, it was only 210 pages, with fairly large print. It's called "Dave Barry Does Japan." Like anything by Dave Barry it was one of the funniest things I've ever read. Dave Barry went to Japan, and wrote all about it. Hilarity insues. It did have one chapter that was serious, about Hiroshima. A very different tone from the rest of the book. In fact, the chapter was seperated from the rest of the book by a dark gray page before and after the chapter. It showed that Dave Barry is capable of writing something touching, instead of just comedy. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/i-bought-book-tonight-and-already.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=87766082
My sister is a pretty good writer. Especially considering she's only 12. I'm jealous of her writing ability sometimes. It does need some work, but just mainly in the spelling and grammar area. Here's a poem she wrote a while back, I think it's amazing. I wish I could write a poem like this. I cleaned it up a little, the spelling and stuff. She wanted to go so far away, Away from her parents protection. So far away to a foreign land, But knew not which direction. She wished with all her heart and soul, That she would sprout wings, So she could fly away from all the worrying protective things. If she could sprout those faithful wings, She would flyaway, And stay in that foreign land, For at least one special day. She might return home, If she ever felt alone, but that thought was very doubtful. She still thought about that land so far away, She thought about it every day, Till one day she was gone. The only ones that stood witness, were the trees that never told, No one else ever knew how she disappeared into the night so cold.
Here's a story she wrote today at school for an assignment. It's not great, but it's pretty cool. "Ruuuuun! He's coming!" Screamed one of the townsmen, as a woman and two small children, with tears of terror streaming down their faces, ran past. "Fiona!...Fiona! Come on...we've got to get out of here before..." "No," said Fiona, holding up her hand to silence him in mid sentence. "But..." "I said no. Now, get out of here, save yourself. As for me, I have to protect the village." And with that she lifted her bow into the air, pulled back the string, and released the arrow. Launching it forward with the power of a mid-summer hurricane. The arrow flew forward and then, just as it was starting to lose speed, it pierced the demon's head. Everything was quiet. Fiona stood there for a moment, standing perfectly still, letting the wind blow her beautiful, radiant hair, as she waited to make sure the demon wasn't going to move. Then, slowly, she walked towards it. When she got there she stood looking down at the demon. He looked strangely peaceful laying there with his eyes closed, with his silvery-white hair sprawled out around his head on the ground, and with no sign of hate or anger on his face, but she knew that even after death the demon was still just as evil as it was before.
I think it's safe to say she's been watching way too much anime, especially Inuyasha. That's her second favorite show, I think the only show she likes better is Yu-Gi-Oh. Time for bed!

Yikes, I was worried a few hours ago. When I was driving home from Oklahoma City (where I went shopping) I saw Alicia's car by the side of the road by the Goldsby exit. By the time I realized it was her car I had already passed the exit, so I drove a few more miles to the Ladd Road exit and turned around there and went back. I could see she wasn't in her car, but there were two gas stations just a hundred yards or so away, so I went to see if she was at either one of those waiting for a ride or something. I didn't see her at either of them. I even gave a description and asked them if she'd come in asking to use the phone or asking for help or anything, but they all said they hadn't. So I looked around the area some more, and then got back on the highway to Purcell, keeping an eye for Alicia, in case she was stupid and tried to walk. She couldn't have walked it, it was way too far to Purcell, but that doesn't neccesarily mean she wouldn't try. I got back to Purcell and went straight to Carl's Jr. to ask Daniel if he'd heard from her or anything, and he said "Yeah, her car's broke down on the highway. She just showed up here earlier, I don't know if she got a ride or walked or what. My brother's going up later to tow her car back to town." So, I guess she's ok then, but I was kinda worried for awhile. Ah ha! I knew this shirt was different! I was certain that, used to, when I saw this shirt at HotTopic it just said "Roots" but the one I bought today says, "Know your Roots." I knew that was different, and here's the proof, from the Hot Topic online store:
Other than that, the two shirts are identical. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/yikes-i-was-worried-few-hours-ago.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=87618844
Oh man! I'm in an amazing mood right now! Partly because today's been a pretty good day. I got up and went to the mall and went shopping for a while, and got a new shirt at HotTopic. It's white and has an old original Nintendo Entertainment System controller on the front and says, "Know your Roots." I do have one complaint though, who the hell sizes HotTopic's clothes? I can go to any other store and get a X-Large t-shirt and it fits just fine. I used to get XLarge from HotTopic too, but suddenly their X-Large was so small on me I can't even get them on, and I haven't gained weight. Not more than 5 pounds, anyway. I had wanted this shirt for a long time, but HotTopic never has anything bigger than X-large, in fact, sometimes it's hard to find even that. Well, today they had XX-Large in several of their shirts, including this one, so I bought it. I didn't try it on, I figured it should fit fine. But for some reason, this XXLarge is too small! I can barely wear it. As long as it doesn't shrink any I think I can wear it, if I stretch it out a little when I put it on. It's weird though, I can go anywhere else and buy a X-Large and it fits! The main reason I'm in such a great mood is the cd I ordered from amazon.com finally came in. "Hit & Run Holiday" by My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult! This is the greatest album ever! I've been wanting this album for years, but none of the stores carry anything by that band around here. I've never even heard of them except I heard a few songs by them on an "underground" radio show once. That's the only time I've ever heard of them. I've been looking for this cd ever since, and finally found it on amazon.com. This album is amazing! Here's a typical customer review of it from Amazon.com: Five Stars! Left-field Magnum Opus - Mad Life On The Road w/ TKK!!!, September 28, 2001 Reviewer: Baron Dakota from NEW YORK United States. This CD marks the moment when Thrill Kill Kult outgrew the more stoic portion of their fanbase. After the satirical, sample-slam, Goth/Industrial devilry of their first 3 albums, and then the satirical, sampladelic, creepy-cheesey celebration of SEX and Disco on "Sexplosion!", AND then the perfect consolidation of both on "13 Above The Night", TKK opted for something new. And old, per se. This record is a satirical (surprise!), sampladelic, b!tches brew of clashing sub-genres that obliterated expectations in 1995. Greasy biker-trash imagery reverberates hard across a musical landscape of demented, 60's surf-rock cliches, spaghetti western motifs, strip club glitz, the REAL soundtrack to "Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas". Being on tour in a bus of madness for years, really coaxed the definitive Road Epic out of Thrill Kill Kult. A fantasy of desperate decadence. Because this started out as a vehicle for the chicks in the band (Bomb Gang Girls), CinderellaPussy, and Jackie Blacque garner alot of the vocal spotlights on this disc. Having seen them live numerous times, these bunnies really kick, and their off-kilter howlings about their nutcase adventures are hilarious AND earnest. "Glamour Is A Rocky Road", "The Golden Strip", and "Babylon Drifter" are the anchors that frame this disc, and rank as 3 of TKK's best songs ever. A bonfire of humor, disturbing notions, and wild abandon. "Hit And Run Holiday" is absolutely cinematic, and will stand as one of My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult's most fully-realized, and outrageous artistic achievements. Get it while you can. B. Dakota
Boom! This cd is so cool my head explodes! The only thing that could make this day any better is if I got laid.

Hey cool, looks like I actually got a few hits today, about 5 or 6. That's the most hits I've had in a month at least. I got a lot of hits the first few months, but now the last couple of months it's been steadily going downhill. I guess the work I did last night submitting my site to all those places actually helped a little. Brrr. It's cold here. It's only 22 degrees outside. Ummmm, I can't really think of anything to write about tonight. Well, I'm off tomorrow, so I'll probably post a few times tomorrow. Maybe I'll actually have something to say, or at least a few links. I have several links I could post right now, but there's not really any point posting anything if I have no visitors. All this blog is really good for now is talking to myself or sending messages to Alicia. And even she hardly gets to read it anymore, because her phone was cut off. So, basically, I'm just sitting here talking to myself. I can't beleive I've been doing this blog for four months already. I never thought it would last this long. I had a blog a few years ago and I only posted to it twice and then never again. This was back before Blogs became so popular. In fact I'd never even heard of weblogs back then, this site called itself an online diary. It was like "Mydiary.com" or something like that. I've had this site for a while now, but if I don't start getting some visitors I may stop bothering with it. Oh well, gotta go for now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/hey-cool-looks-like-i-actually-got-few.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=87577566
something along the lines of, "it's because puppies have invaded my brain!" And she said, "horny puppies, apparently," and I said "Yes, horny puppies that hump everyone's legs!" Other than that, tonight sucked, it was kinda busy, for the lobby anyway. We usually don't get many customers inside at night. It took me a long time to get done tonight. Dammit, I'm not getting any visitors anymore. All the numbers on my counter are coming from Alicia and myself. I'm gonna have to submit my site to some more search engines and websites and stuff. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/tonight-at-work-alicia-asked-me-as-i.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=87519766
Here's a great site. http://www.quikcondoms.com If I bought condoms, this is where I would buy them. QuikCondoms sells every brand of condom at discount prices. Up to 75% off store prices. And on top of that, you get free shipping! They even have a special 100 pack of assorted condoms, a condom sampler of all the different brands and styles, for only $29.99! That's only about 30 cents a condom. They also sell lubes, also at cheap prices. On top of cheap prices and free shipping you also get a free gift, often a small sample pack of an ounce or so of lube, with every order! They are more than a store. They also have information. Safe sex tips, sex advice, sex humor, and sex related how-to's. (That's where I got the "strange sex laws" thing in my previous post.) They even have an online Kama Sutra. So, ummm. If you buy condoms, you should go there. This entire post was a commercial. They should pay me. Bitches. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/heres-great-site.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=87462724

My Blogger is all screwed up tonight. I write a new post and hit the publish button and it says it published it just fine, but then when I view my blog none of the new posts are there. The "Old Preacher" post is the last one that is showing up. I just figured out that for some reason I can select the link for the archive of this week and the posts are there, but when I return to the "current" posts, they aren't there. I don't know if it's just something weird with my computer, or if nobody can see my posts. I know I haven't been getting many visitors lately, but if there is someone out there viewing this, and you can see this post and the other ones I've made since the preacher joke, please send me an email telling me that it works for you so I'll at least know. There's an email link over there on the left. I was going to premiere the "New and Improved" Underground Lair tonight, but I want to wait until the site is actually working. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/my-blogger-is-all-screwed-up-tonight.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=87404183
In honor of George W. Bush and his warmongering ways, and his apparent intent to start a war with every enemy the U.S. has, here's another Pink Floyd song, also from the album "The Final Cut." Two Suns in the Sunset In my rear view mirror the sun is going down Sinking behind bridges in the road and I think of all the good things That we have left undone And I suffer premonitions Confirm suspicions Of the Holocaust to come The wire that holds the cork That keeps the anger in Gives way And suddenly it's day again The sun is in the east Even though the day is done Two suns in the sunset Hmmmmmmmmm Could be the human race is run Like the moment when the brakes lock And you slide towards the big truck You stretch the frozen moments with your fear And you'll never hear their voices And you'll never see their faces You have no recourse to the law anymore

Here's a cool joke I got in the email today: The Old Preacher An old preacher was dying. He sent a message for his IRS agent and his lawyer, both church members, to come to his home. When they arrived, they were ushered up to his bedroom. As they entered the room, the preacher held out his hands and motioned for them to sit on each side of the bed. The preacher grasped their hands, sighed contentedly, smiled and stared at the ceiling. For a time, no one said anything. Both the IRS agent and the attorney were touched and flattered that the old preacher would ask them to be with him during his final moment. They were also puzzled because the preacher had never given any indication that he particularly liked either one of them. Finally, the lawyer asked, "Preacher, why did you ask the two of us to come?" The old preacher mustered up some strength, then said weakly, "Jesus died between two thieves, and that's how I want to go, too." posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/heres-cool-joke-i-got-in-email-today.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=87341869
I added a "mood indicator" thing down there. You have to scroll down a little to see it, it's under my links. Woo hoo, I'm so excited. (hint: that was sarcasm.) Cool, South Park is on.

to work from 2:00 to 10:00. I hate working Sundays, they're usually slow, but, whether it's slow or not, the night always drags by and feels like it's never going to end. And there's pretty much no chance of me getting off early tomorrow, unless it's so slow he decides to send both of the front line people home early, but that's very doubtful. To make it worse, I have to work with Crystal tomorrow, and we still hate each other now. She still wants to kill me. Oh well, whatever. I don't like her much either, not anymore. Tomorrow promises to be a very long, boring, annoying day. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/so-i-bought-new-dvd-other-night.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=87293602
Dammit, I keep trying to find a new template, a new layout for my blog, but Blogger's selection sucks. The only ones that have layouts that I like, have color schemes I don't like. They're all colorful and pastel and cheerful looking. Well, some of them aren't quite that cheerful, but none of them is quite evil enough. The one I like best is yellow. But I don't want a yellow blog. Yellow does not say "Evil Genius' Underground Lair." Yellow says "Sunshine." Black, that's what I want. Or at least shades of gray or dark blue. Not yellow, or light blue, or a happy shade of green. Bah. This one I'm using is the most evil looking one. There are a couple that are suitable as far as color scheme goes, but their layouts suck. They would require major html tweaking to be suitable for my needs. For example, they don't have a place to stick links, or a place I can use to put various little icons and test results and counters and stuff like that. So, for now at least, I'll stick with this one. Meanwhile, at the palace of Big Fat Ass the Hutt... "Droid! Where is my tall refreshing glass of hot frothy lard!?" asks Big Fat Ass the Hutt. "It's on its way, Mr. Big Fat Ass, sir!" calls CT-14 from the adjoining room. "Here it is, Master," he says as he walks in with a tray on which there is a tall frothy steaming glass of hot lard. Big Fat Ass the Hutt grabs the glass and drinks it quickly, most of it running down his front. "Mmmm, fresh squeezed," He says, and makes a disgusting squelching noise. Back at Kevin's blog... Tonight at work was really boring. It was very slow. We only made like $17.99 the entire hour from 8:00 to 9:00. We figure it's been slow the last couple of night because there is a basketball tournament this weekend, but it's in another town, a pretty good distance from us. If that is why we're slow, maybe we'll be slow tomorrow night too. It was so slow, I was sent home at 9:00, I was supposed to work until 11:30. Well, I better go to bed, it's 1:30 a.m. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/dammit-i-keep-trying-to-find-new.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=87256170

I'm a puppy, kick me! I'm off today, and I have no idea what I'm going to do today. So far it's almost 3:30 and I havent done a damn thing. I didn't even wake up until noon. I hate that, I hate sleeping past 11:00. If I do it just seems like the day is almost over, and the rest of the day always flies by, and it just ruins my day and puts me in a cranky mood. I'm probably gonna go hang out at Carl's Jr later, because my life sucks, and that's the best thing I have to do. Cool, I have my MP3 player set on random, and now it's playing "Lucky Ball and Chain" by They Might Be Giants. They rule. Daniel and Olivia's phone got cut off, because they couldn't pay the bill. So http://www.stuffexplodes.blogspot.com has no internet access and can't update her blog. It sucks. They will probably get the phone back on the next payday. Now my computer is playing "Owner of a Lonely Heart." What an appropriate song. Speaking of which, I've really gotta do something. Get some pills or something. I've been so depressed the last couple of months, and it just keeps getting worse every day. And especially every night. I haven't had a decent night's sleep in over a week. I get so depressed at nights I can't even get to sleep anymore. I lie there deeply depressed or crying half the night. I've always been a cryer, my whole life. People who know me may be surprised by that, because I usually do not show any emotions, as little as I possibly can. But I cry all the time, not just from being depressed. Sometimes a beautiful piece of music, or a movie can bring a tear to my eye. Christmas specials especially. The Charlie Brown Christmas Special made me cry like a baby a few weeks ago. I don't think anyone noticed, but I was so depressed at the New Years Eve party that most of the time I was sitting over there by myself I was crying. I don't know how people didnt notice, I had tears running down my cheeks at several points. My new coat is tear-stained from it too. It's the same old crap that's depressing me. I'm very lonely, and no one wants me. I would love some human contact. Even in a non-sexual, just friendly way. I hardly ever touch anyone, and no one touches me. About the only human contact I have in my life is when people walk past and accidentally bump into or brush against me, or when I hand people their change at work. That's basically the only contact in my life. Last night at work Alicia had some flour or something on the back of her shirt, and she had me wipe it off. That's the first time I've purposely touched someone in a long time (besides kicking them, playful or otherwise). Sometimes it is by choice I don't touch people. I have a problem with touching. Like at the Christmas party at work we were supposed to join hands in a big circle and pray, but I freaked out and refused to touch anyone. So, sometimes, when I'm in a bad mood or something, I don't want to touch or be touched. But the rest of the time, my mind and body both are starved for a little human contact. Even my family doesn't touch me. My family has never been big on touching or showing affection. I have never in my life seen my parents kiss, or even hug each other. That's the main thing that's wrong with me I think. They say that a kid that grows up in a house like that will be really shy. I've been hugged probably maybe ten times in the last 15 years or so. Most of those by relatives, like grandparents and aunts, and stuff like that. I've only hugged two girls that were not relatives, in my entire life. Then another thing that bothers me is of course the whole sex and relationships thing. I'm 23 and I've only had sex once. I've only been out with one girl, and that wasn't anything really serious. She didn't consider herself my girlfriend, and if I accidentally suggested such a thing she got angry. We just went out four times, on pretty lame dates. I've never had a real relationship, with a real girlfriend, someone who loved me. Nearly all my old friends, and most of the people around here my age are already married and have a kid or two. My parents had been married for five years by the time they were my age. Then another thing that depresses me is my total lack of a life. I'm 23 and I still live with my parents. I have a dead-end, nothing job, and no college education or anything. I've dropped out of college twice. I still just have no idea what I want to do, nothing interests me enough to go to school for it, or make a career out of it. Or the stuff that does interest me I just have no talent in, like writing, or something artistic or musical, or even acting, I've always thought acting would be cool if only I weren't so shy. I'd be a good villian. I need to get off my ass and at least go to a community college or vo-tech or something, and then find me a real job and move out of my parent's place, and then find a nice woman to maybe marry. But I just have no motivation to do any of that. I'm too lazy, I like having free time. I like being able to do what I want to do. I like being able to sit around and read, or surf the internet, or play video games, or watch cartoons, or whatever I want to do at the moment. That's why I wish I could just win a good lottery. $10 million or so. I'd buy a new car and a decent house, and then just stick the rest in the bank, or invest it, and live off the interest for the rest of my life. I'd still probably have a job, but I would be able to get by with something easy, like Carl's Jr. I enter contests and stuff all the time online. Things like iwon.com, and Publisher's Clearinghouse stuff. Ok, enough whining and bitching. And this post is huge. I'm done now. P.S. Here's a quote I heard a moment ago on a song (my computer is now playing Chumbawamba) that I really like: "There ain't no justice, just us." posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/im-puppy-kick-me-im-off-today-and-i.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=87184332

Here's another test I just took. The "What Kind of Seducer Are You?" test. Very interesting results. Though I don't think of myself as any kind of seducer, I'd have to agree with some of this. I'm surprised I didn't get "The Anti-Seducer," though I'm glad I didn't.
I am the Star
Daily life is harsh, and most of us constantly seek escape from it in fantasies and dreams. Stars feed on this weakness; standing out from others through a distincitve and appealing type, they make us want to watch them. At the same time, they are vague and ethereal, keeping their distance, and letting us imagine more than is there. Their dreamlike quality works on our unconscious. Learn to become an object of fascination by projecting the glittering but elusive presence of the star.
Symbol: The Idol. A piece of stone carved into the shape of a god, perhaps glittering with gold and jewels. The eyes of the worshippers fill the stone with life, imagining it to have real powers. Its shape allows them to see what they want to see - a god - but it actually just a piece of stone. The god lives in their imaginations.
"With the same passionate scholarship and analytical audacity he brought to the character of God, Jack Miles now approaches the literary and theological enigma of Jesus. In so doing, he tells the story of a broken promise - God's ancient covenant with Isreal - and of its strange, unlooked-for fulfillment. For, having abandoned his chosen people to an impending holocaust at the hands of their Roman conquerors, God, in the person of Jesus, chooses to die with them, in what is effectively an act of divine suicide. "On the basis of this shocking argument, Miles compels us to reassess Christ's entire life and teaching. His proclivity for the powerless and disgraced. His refusal to discriminate between friends and enemies. His transformation of defeat into a victory that redeems not just Isreal, but the entire world. Combining a close reading of the Gospels with a range of reference that includes Donne, Nietzsche, and Elie Weisel, Christ: A Crisis in the Life of God is a work of magnificent eloquence and imagination." I have a whole collection of books like this. Controversial religious writings, Dead Sea Scrolls, the "True Story" of Jesus, and stuff like that. I like to think of myself as a religious scholar. I read about all different religions, I only recently started studying Christianity, because Christianity is about the only religion I don't like. Actually I don't have anything against Christianity, just most Christians. But, let's save that rant for another time. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/i-ended-up-going-to-bookstore-well.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=86990200
Quack, quack, quack. Time to go duck scrub the bathrooms. Sorry, inside joke that would take way too long to explain. Ummm. I have nothing other than that to say at this time. I think I'm actually going to leave the house now. I've been awake since 11:00 but I've hardly left my room. I haven't even turned any lights on yet. I don't need them on in here during the day, but now it's starting to get dark. It's almost night, time for me to come alive. Time to feed. Not really, but I do get much more active at night. So, I'm gonna leave now. I have no idea what I'm gonna do or where I'm gonna go, but I'm at least gonna get out for awhile. I'll probably write more later.

Hmmm. Weird night at work tonight. Me and Alicia were both hyper, and I spent most of the night goofing off talking to her instead of doing my job. Tonight she kept accusing me of being obsessed with her, because I write about her all the time, and stuff like that. I told her that it's because she's about the only thing I have to write about, I have a boring life, and because she's one of my best friends. In fact, she's my best friend, after Chris, and he's hardly ever around anymore, so... I had something important to write about tonight, something important to me, anyway. Something, I wanted to say, but I'm having second thoughts now. Well, I was always having second thoughts about it, because it's not something that's easy for me to say. But now I'm also having second thoughts because I just don't think it's the right time to say it. But it's something I want to say, and something I need to say. Ok, here it goes, for better or worse. You see, long before Crystal, and before Kristina (the only girl I've ever gone out with), there was Alicia. I've known Alicia for, what, something like two years now. And she's always been my friend. We got along together right from the start, and it wasn't long after she started work at Carl's before I considered her my friend. We would goof off and talk to each other, and say stupid and funny things, and do stupid and funny voices, crap like that. Pretty much what we still do now. Not too long after she started work there, Bill, one of the other managers told me, "You know who I think would make a cute couple?" And I was like, "no." And he said "You and Alicia." At the time I thought it was a stupid idea, she was just my friend, I didn't really think of her in that way at all. Not that I thought she was ugly or anything like that, I had just never really thought of it before. But then, about a year ago, I did start to think of her as a potential girlfriend. I never said anything about it to her though, though I really wanted to. I did finally mention it to Daniel, I told her that I had developed a "crush" on Alicia, and that I was thinking of maybe giving her something for valentines day, and finally saying something to her about my feelings for her then. I asked him if he had ever heard her say anything about liking me or anything like that, but he said he hadn't, but that we were friends, and it probably wouldnt hurt to try. In the end I, big surprise, chickened out. I didn't get her anything, and I didn't say anything to her. She was completely oblivious to it, which was kinda funny, because a couple of other people that worked there were starting to get suspicious, they had figured out that I liked Alicia. Anyway, I never said anything, and kinda got over it for awhile, but not completely over it, I still liked her. Time passed, and Summer came, and Alicia left. She left for Colorado, she was going to be there the entire Summer, and was going to come back when school started back up. Before she left we exchanged email adresses and then the very night she arrived in Colorado she Instant Messaged me. And we talked for quite some time. She said that she already missed me and everyone else, and that she had already sent me something. I got the package a couple of days later, it was a Dilbert coffee mug, I love it. Anyway, we talked and she was all like "being gone away from everyone I've come to realize some things" and all that. And then she suddenly said "we should go out," I was amazed. I was like "NOW you say something!" And I told her about how I had wanted to go out with her for some time. She said she had no idea, blah blah blah, to make a long story short, we decided that when she came back we would go out sometime. Then she ended up coming back like three days later, she just didn't like Colorado and had to come back early because she missed everyone. A couple of days later I asked her, "so, are we still gonna go out sometime?" and she said yeah, but then that night, or the next night, I don't remember, she Instant Messaged me and said that she couldn't go out with me after all. I was very upset. Especially since I had just lost Kristina like two or three weeks before. I was kinda mad with Alicia for awhile after that, but eventually I stopped hating her. Like I said before, Alicia is one of my best friends. She's my friend, and I love her. I don't like seeing her upset about anything and I'd never intentionally do anything to hurt her. And now, I've kinda developed a "crush" on her again. I'd still really like to go out with her sometime. The last few days especially, she's been on my mind a lot. That's why i had to write this. It would have been really hard to say anything to her face, so I'm saying it here. But it had to be said, I had to let it out, because it's been hurting me. And now I just hope I havent hurt her. She just went through a breakup and has really been hurt by it, so this was probably not the best time to say all this, but I couldn't hold it in anymore. It's always upset me that, apparently Alicia's not interested in me. She almost never mentions me on her blog or website, and she even has a list of her friends on her website, and I'm not even on it. Or I wasnt the last time I looked, anyway. And then there's been a couple of times where she's like "Here's all the guys I like," and I'm not on that list either. So maybe this is another one of those "unreturned love" stories, but that's what my life is all about. That's been the history of my life. Always in love, but never loved. I'm also worried that maybe I shouldn't go out with Alicia anyway. I really want to, but I know that if I did, I'd just end up hurting her, because I'm a stupid asshole with some major problems. And the last thing I want to do is hurt her. She's been hurt enough. I have to go now posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2003/01/hmmm.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=86954657
Iceland, where he'll be stationed for the next 2 1/2 years, and so now, I once again have no life, and will probably be spending a lot of time online again, either that, or playing video games. Christmas, baby, whee. I got lots of new video games, but I will save the Christmas news for another post, I mainly just stopped in to let you know I'm still here. I'm sick, again. I've felt better the last week or so, but then I just got sick again, not as bad as I was, though. Hey, wow, I've actually got plans for tonight. I usually stay home on New Year's Eve. Big Deal, I say. I hate New Year's. All it is is another excuse for people to go out and get drunk. Which is what I'll be doing tonight. I'm going over to Daniel's house. It's gonna be Daniel, Olivia, Alicia and me, and maybe some others, we dont know yet. We're gonna get drunk and watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Alicia and Olivia are obsessed with that movie now. I've only seen it once, a few months ago. Alicia and Phillip broke up, so she's all upset and depressed. Also, I'm no longer interested in Crystal, haven't been for a couple of weeks now. The stuff that started out as kinda cute eventually just got irritating. I can barely even stand to be around her now, I can barely work the same shift as her anymore. Well, that's about it for now. I'm gonna go eat some dinner, and then go buy some alcohol and then get ready for tonight. But first, here's the results of a couple of test I just took: I am 87% Evil Genius
http://www.fuali.com/default.aspx?id=111 http://www.fuali.com/default.aspx?id=111 I am pure evil. I lie awake at night devising schemes of world domination, and I will not rest until all living souls bend to my will. http://www.fuali.com/default.aspx?id=111

Tomorrow is my birthday, I'll be 23. I'm wanting to go see "The Two Towers" tomorrow, but I don't know if I'll be able to get in or not, the news says that most of the theaters are sold out for the next several days for it. I'm still sick, too, it sucks. I got better for a couple of days, but then last night I suddenly got sick again. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2002/12/tomorrow-is-my-birthday-ill-be-23.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=86231550
Hmmmm, what should I write about? Well, Alicia and Phillip are together now, that's cool, I'm happy for her. Now if I could only get with Crystal. She said something the other day about her boyfriend keeps cheating on her. This sounds mean, but, that gives me hope at least. Maybe they'll break up or something, and I'll have a chance with her. I finally get to work with her for more than a couple of hours this week! Sunday she was supposed to work from 8:00 to 4:00, and Shasta was supposed to work 4:00 to close, but they switched or something, so now Shasta works in the morning and Crystal works that night. So I get to work with Crystal from 4:00 to 10:00, and it's a Sunday night, Sunday nights are usually slow and there's nothing to do but stand around anyway, so I should get to talk to her a lot. I'm actually looking forward to work Sunday. So, how about them (insert name of your favorite football team here). They suck. I hate them. Umm, I guess that's about it for now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2002/12/hmmmm-what-should-i-write-about-well.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=85644967
Fuck, today totally sucked. I'm cold, tired, and I'm in a really bad mood. I got up at 10:00 a.m., which is about an hour early for me. Then I cleaned my hamster's cage. Then I watched part of Goldmember, which I bought last night. Then about 1:00 I went over to Chris' house. He had to go shopping, so we went to Wal-Mart. Then we went back to Chris' house and basically sat around and did nothing. At 4:30 I went to Carl's Jr. to pick up my check and to talk to Crystal. I still hadn't heard from her since the wreck, I didn't know how she was since the wreck. I barely got to talk to her though, her or anyone else. They were very busy. Also while I was there I found out she does have a boyfriend. I knew a girl like her must have one, but I'd never heard her say anything about one. But tonight she was talking to someone, and I heard her say something about, "if he cheats on me one more time, I'll die." So, I'm kinda upset about that. Then I went back to Chris' house and we just sat around watching tv some more. But there was nothing good on, and I got so bored, and, for some reason, cold, I had to leave. And so here I am. Fuck. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2002/12/fuck-today-totally-sucked.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=85575097
Check out this email I just received: "dude! you don't know me and i don't know you, but as i was searching for a new or used engine for a jeep i bought, i got to your weird journal web (whatever it is).. now how fuck up is that? i only typed this on search " daihatsu engines in juarez" and it got me to your web... agggghh, im not mad or anything i just think its really funny lol...i don't even know if you will read this email or not but fuck it...im bored and can't find a fucking engine... goodluck with crystal" Weird, man. Just think, people I don't know, have never met, and probably don't want to know, know all about my infatuation with Crystal, but she doesn't. Unless Alicia's told her or something. She might suspect or think that I like her, but I've never actually told Crystal that I like her. That's something I hope to change very soon, but, good luck with that, what with this horrible shyness and social anxiety disorder. It's been amazing though, that I can talk to her, and be around her as easy as I can. Usually I can't even talk to a new person unless I've worked with them for a month or two. And such an incredible looking girl as Crystal, I would never have been able to talk to. I would have freaked out and hid every time I saw her. As time passes it's steadily getting a little easier to talk to people, but it's still a slow and uphill battle. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2002/12/check-out-this-email-i-just-received.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=85545171
Yay! It's snowing! Well, not anymore, but it was. It's been snowing all morning. For awhile it was even snowing a lot. But, unfortunately, none of it is sticking, it's all melting. There's a small dusting on the fences and some other places, but not much. Weird weather around here. Monday it was 75 degrees, then yesterday it was 35. I like 35 better. 75 is way too warm for me. I can't beleive it's December and still in the 70s. I'm listening to Tenacious D, it's been awhile since I listened to that cd. They rule. They needed to put more songs on the cd though, instead of so many skits. Fuck Her Gently is one of the best songs ever created. The video is cool too, I love Spumco animation, Ren and Stimpy was the best. I heard TNN is gonna start showing all the Ren and Stimpy reruns, uncut! They were edited and censored for Nickelodeon. They are also gonna try to maybe get them to make some new Ren and Stimpy episodes too. Dammit, why is it that Crystal only works nights on my days off? I hardly ever get to see her anymore. She even mentioned it the other day, she was like "I missed you, freckles. Why don't we get to work together anymore?" She calls me Freckles, I hate that name, but I've gotten used to it. I don't mind when she calls me that, it's kinda cute. But if anyone else calls me that I will have to kill them. (That goes double for you, Alicia.) The other day she was dancing around the place singing "Freckles time, Freckles time!" She kinda scares me. She was asking why Chris was at Carl's every night. And I told her it was because he's in the Navy and so he's gone a lot, and he's home on leave. And she said, "Oh, so he wants to get in as much Freckles time as he can." And that's when she started with the Freckles time song. Fuck, I have to get ready for work, dammit. I hate work! At least I only work five hours tonight. And with the bad weather, it will probably be slow, and I'll get off even earlier than that. I work with Alicia tonight, hopefully she won't read this post before she comes to work, or I'll have to listen to her calling me Freckles all night, and then I'll have to kill her. To which her response would be "You can't kill me, I'm immortal, I'm a vampire." That reminds me, I need to bring her birthday present to her tonight. Her birthday was several days ago, but I keep forgetting. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2002/12/yay-its-snowing-well-not-anymore-but.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=85499005
Tonight I didn't hang out with Chris after work, and I even got off work early. I just didn't want to tonight. I've been over there like everyday the last week or so, and just wanted to veg in front of the TV or computer tonight. Which is pretty much all we do at Chris', but I like needed some me time, or something. I'm not usually a social person, and so all this leaving the house, and hanging out with people, and actually going places was starting to get to me. Plus I didn't get much sleep last night, so tonight I need sleep, lots of it. In fact, I'm going to bed now. Right now. You people suck. Screw you guys, I'm going home. Or to bed. Something. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2002/12/tonight-i-didnt-hang-out-with-chris.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=85470619
I got really drunk last night. That's the first time in a long time I've gotten really drunk. Me and Chris got a bottle of something called 99 Bananas. It's a banana flavored alcohol and it was like 99 proof, so it got me drunk really quick. It was pretty good in orange juice. I got online at one point at hsi house, while I was drunk, to check my email and write a new post, but I didn't finish it. I got online because I was really bored. Some girl he met over the internet, I have no idea who she is, showed up and without even saying anything to me, they just went off into his room and he fucked her or something. Then she left. He admitted it was a pretty rude thing to do to me, and apologized profusely, since he was drunk. Crystal wasn't at work last night. I hope she's ok. She was on my mind all day yesterday, but it's hard not to think about someone when you're covered in bruises and bite marks from them. Dammit, I have to go to work later. I don't want to go to work. Work sucks. Hey, A.I. is on, I've still never seen that. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2002/12/i-got-really-drunk-last-night.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=85434743
and tried to drag me across the room by my arm with her teeth. I've got a large knot on my arm from it. Later, when I pointed out the large knot she kissed her hand and then pressed it to the knot, and asked if that made it better. The coolest part of the day, though, was when she told me, "you're my favorite friend, after Alicia. You're my favorite guy friend." Fuck, it's freezing in here! I can barely type I'm shaking so much. That's why I'm being really loose with my spelling and grammer tonight, I'm trying to get this post done and get in bed. It's 3:00 a.m. Later that night, Crystal had a wreck! She rolled her car four times! Completely totaled it, she said. That sucks, she had a really nice car too, it looked expensive. Around 9:00 or so she came in to Carl's Jr. and told us she had had a wreck, she looked pretty bad, her arm was all scraped up and red. She said she was in pain, and couldn't feel her arm hardly. The EMS people had wanted to take her to the hospital, but she said no, she would have her mom take her later. They said they thought her arm was fractured in a few places, and she hit her head on the windsheild during the wreck. But, instead of going to the hospital, she came to Carl's TO BUY SOME FOOD! I was like "Are you crazy? Go to the hospital, especially if you hit your head." And she was like, "I will, but first I have to get this food." I hope she's ok. Hmmm, this entire post was about Crystal. Ok, today I also went over to Chris' house after work, and we drank a little rum and coke and watched Clerks (which I had still never seen) and a Anime movie called Metropolis. Metropolis was cool, but I thought Clerks sucked. The only Kevin Smith movies I had seen were Dogma and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. I loved both of those, but I thought Clerks sucked. So, if you haven't figured it out yet...Yes, Crystal is the girl I like. I like her a lot. She's one of the most incredible looking girls I've ever met. She's beautiful, and sexy. She's cool, and seems like she'd be a lot of fun to hang out with. I really enjoy working with her. It really sucks that we didnt get to work together this week, except for two hours today. And it's gonna be that way next week too. She is a little on the too hyper side, but that's cool. She is (or was, I'm not sure) a cheerleader, but I can forgive her for that. Cheerleaders are evil, usually. She's supposed to work tomorrow night, but I don't know if she will, because of the wreck. She'll probably be in pain tomorrow. If she is at work I will have to stop by to see how she is. Ok, I'm going to bed now. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2002/12/yikes.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g?blogID=3773360&postID=85368995
Happy Thanksgiving you Bastards and She-Bastards. I hope you choke on your fucking turkey. Thanksgiving is a pretty boring holiday for me. My family doesn't get together very much, especially now that all my grandparents are dead. So Thanksgiving for me is just me and my parents and my sister. And our dinner isn't much different from any other dinner of the year, except it has turkey and dressing, and we eat it somewhere between noon and 2:00. If I let it, Thanksgiving would probably be a depressing holiday for me. Friday, November 27, 1998, two of my good friends became statistics. One of over 700 accidents on that day. Genie and Tim both worked with me at Carl's Jr., I had worked with Genie for over a year, and Tim for longer than that. Tim was one of my managers, but we were friends, and Genie...well, I loved her. I had been in love with her ever since she started working there. I never told her or anything, so she didn't know. We were friends, but she didn't know how much I loved her, how much I longed for her. Anyway, Genie and Tim were an item, they had been going out for a few months, and they were going shopping, or something, the day after Thanksgiving. They were headed North on I-35 and their tire blew out, causing them to lose control. They went out of control, spun, I think. and eventually crossed the median and ended up sitting in the South-bound lanes of I-35, were they were hit by a van travelling at full highway speeds. The car burst into flames. Genie survived, because she didn't have her seatbelt on, and was thrown through the windsheild. She survived, but was injured very badly. Tim, who did have his sealtbelt on was trapped in the car, and burned beyond any recognition. They had to use his dental records to identify the body. Genie was taken, by helicopter, I think, to a hospital in Oklahoma City, she was unconscious for a day or two, and ended up being in the hospital for about three weeks. I don't remember the exact day she got out, but it was just a few days before my birthday, which is the 19th of December. Two or three days before, I think. I didn't get to go see her the first couple of days, but after that I went and sat with her every day except one day I had to miss, because of bad weather or something. I don't remember. I don't remember much from that year. It was a very bad year. This accident was only part of it. I spent most of that year in a depressed stupor, and don't remember much. I went to see Genie every day, and I'd sit there with her for several hours every day. I was usually her only visitor, for some reason her family hardly ever even came to see her. I sat with her for hours, even when she was asleep, or knocked out with drugs. I fed her when she was too drugged up with morphine to feed herself. I sat and talked to her, read to her, or just watched tv with her, and I looked after her while she slept. Looking after her was pretty much the only thing that kept me going those weeks. I admit, I also had a selfish reason for taking care of her. I hoped she would love me for it. I hoped that when she finally got over Tim, and felt ready for another relationship, she would perhaps come to me. But instead, only a couple of weeks after getting out of the hospital, she started dating some new guy at work that she'd only known a couple of days. I couldn't believe she started dating that soon afterwards. And she wasn't a bad person or anything, who
didn't care for her ex, or anything like that. She's one of the nicest girls I've ever known. Genie, and Gary, the guy she started dating, were together for some time, I think they even ended up getting married. They had a kid, too. But Gary treated her badly, and they got divorced, or broke up or whatever. I don't really know what happened to her, as she quit Carl's Jr. sometime after the wreck. I've only seen her a couple of times in the last couple of years. When she started dating Gary instead of me, I was heartbroken, to say the least. And came the closest I'd ever come to commiting suicide, something I thought about a lot that year. I just realized something. They just got done redoing the surface of the highway, and so I guess they finally paved over the accident site. Until a couple of months ago, you could still see the burn mark where it melted the highway. And to this day there are still flowers in the median at the accident site. I don't know who puts them there. Oh, and the van that hit them? I don't think anyone in it died, but the were injured pretty badly, among them a little girl who they said would have to have years of surgery to get her face looking normal again. Happy Thanksgiving. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2002/11/happy-thanksgiving-you-bastards-and.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=85230061
Yes, I'm still alive, and, no, I'm not giving up on this blog. Not yet. I've just been really busy the last few days. I've barely even been home the last three or four days. My best friend, Chris, who's in the Navy, is home on leave for a month. So we've been hanging out the last several days. He bought this DVD set of Beavis and Butthead episodes, so we set around watching that and drinking one night. Three hours of Beavis and Butthead. It was great, I havent seen that show in years. If they ever made a live action Beavis and Butthead movie, Chris could be Butthead. Ever since that show came out people have been pointing out how much Chris looks, sounds, and acts, like Butthead. Except he's not that stupid. Then the next night we went to Huxtlers, a pool hall. I don't really like pool, but that's all Chris wants to do most of the time. We didn't really go to play pool though, we went because there had been an OU game that night, and there would probably be a lot of OU college girls out drinking. The place was full of college students, but unfortunately, most of them were guys, and the few girls that were there were all with guys. There was this one absolutely gorgeous girl there, but she was all over her boyfriend most of the time. I really suck at pool. Yesterday Chris' parents gave him an early Christmas present. Metroid Prime, for the GameCube, so we sat around playing that for a few hours. I want that game. I'd played a demo of it before and had already decided I had to have it. The problem is, I'll have to buy a gamecube first. After we played that for a few hours we went and hung out at Carls Jr. for a while and talked to Daniel. We also threw things at Shasta, and the new girl, Crystal, came out and talked to us some too. Crystal is one of the most hyper people I've ever seen. Alicia looked like she was upset or something, I hardly saw her the entire time I was there. So, I've been busy actually almost having a life the last few days. And I've also been busy falling in love with a girl who will remain nameless here. For now, anyway. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2002/11/yes-im-still-alive-and-no-im-not.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=85119702

Ok, I haven't been writing much, sue me. Go ahead, sue me, it's not like you'll get anything, unless you like books. I've been busy becoming a geek. Again. I used to be a computer geek, years ago. My junior and senior years at high school I took a Vo-Tech course in Computer Electronics. When I first went to college I was a computer major. I wanted to be a computer programmer, I took a class in C++, but I dropped out of college before I completed it. I took and passed a course in QBasic though, a language that isn't even used anymore, but for some reason it was still a required course. I soon became disillusioned with computers, though, and I didn't really care about them anymore, and I've been that way for two or three years now. I still like computers, and like using them, especially the internet, but I didn't care about how they worked anymore, and I didn't want a computer job anymore. But now the last couple of weeks I've been getting back into computers and programming again. I may take computer courses again if I ever go back to school, and try to get some kind of programming job. Call me weird, but that kind of career appeals to me. Sitting in a cubicle 12+ hours a day working for Microsoft or something. I've always wanted a job in a cubicle. The main thing I don't like about jobs like that is that they are very stressful and life sucking, and have very long hours. At some of them it's not uncommon to work more than 12 hours a day. But I want a cubicle job, surrounded by other geeks. One of my favorite books is http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0060987049/qid=1036557780/sr=8-1/ref=sr_8_1/002-15753555601600?v=glance&n=507846Z Even though it does dwell on the negative aspects of this line of work, this book, and Dilbert comics, are the main things that got me interested in this type of career. I have become a geek again, and it feels good. I like being a geek. I like computers, and coding, and electronic gadgets. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2002/11/ok-i-havent-been-writing-much-sue-me.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=84099592
Randomness: I want to get a tattoo of Tattoo, the midget guy from Fantasy Island. Then I could say, "Dude, wanna see my tattoo?" and then I'd show it to them, and they'd either laugh, or punch me. I got a fortune cookie the other day, it said "You will soon witness a miracle." I wonder what's up with that? I just got some porn junk mail yesterday from someone named "Cowpimp." And speaking of that, look what I found. It's very disturbing, but funny. http://www.riddleme.com/html/cow.html It may take a while to load. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2002/10/randomness-i-want-to-get-tattoo-of.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=83805425
"You're not understanding, are you? The brain does the thinking. The meat." "Thinking meat! You're asking me to believe in thinking meat!" "Yes, thinking meat! Conscious meat! Loving meat. Dreaming meat. The meat is the whole deal! Are you getting the picture?" "Omigod. You're serious then. They're made out of meat." "Finally, Yes. They are indeed made out meat. And they've been trying to get in touch with us for almost a hundred of their years." "So what does the meat have in mind." "First it wants to talk to us. Then I imagine it wants to explore the universe, contact other sentients, swap ideas and information. The usual." "We're supposed to talk to meat?" "That's the idea. That's the message they're sending out by radio. 'Hello. Anyone out there? Anyone home?' That sort of thing." "They actually do talk, then. They use words, ideas, concepts?" "Oh, yes. Except they do it with meat." "I thought you just told me they used radio." "They do, but what do you think is on the radio? Meat sounds. You know how when you slap or flap meat it makes a noise? They talk by flapping their meat at each other. They can even sing by squirting air through their meat." "Omigod. Singing meat. This is altogether too much. So what do you advise?" "Officially or unofficially?" "Both." "Officially, we are required to contact, welcome, and log in any and all sentient races or multibeings in the quadrant, without prejudice, fear, or favor. Unofficially, I advise that we erase the records and forget the whole thing." "I was hoping you would say that." "It seems harsh, but there is a limit. Do we really want to make contact with meat?" "I agree one hundred percent. What's there to say?" `Hello, meat. How's it going?' But will this work? How many planets are we dealing with here?" "Just one. They can travel to other planets in special meat containers, but they can't live on them. And being meat, they only travel through C space. Which limits them to the speed of light and makes the possibility of their ever making contact pretty slim. Infinitesimal, in fact." "So we just pretend there's no one home in the universe." "That's it." "Cruel. But you said it yourself, who want to meet meat? And the ones who have been aboard our vessels, the ones you have probed? You're sure they won't remember?" "They'll be considered crackpots if they do. We went into their heads and smoothed out their meat so that we're just a dream to them." "A dream to meat! How strangely appropiate, that we should be meat's dream." "And we can marked this sector unoccupied." "Good. Agreed, officially and unofficially. Case closed. Any others? Anyone interesting on that side of the galaxy?" "Yes, a rather shy but sweet hydrogen core cluster intelligence in a class nine star in G445 zone. Was in contact two galactic rotations ago, wants to be friendly again."
"They always come around." "And why not?

They say cats lick themselves clean. They say cats have a special enzyme of some sort in their saliva that works like new, improved Wisk -- dislodging the dirt where it hides and whisking it away. I've spent most of my life believing this folklore. Like most blind believers, I've been able to discount all the facts to the contrary -- the kitty odors that lurk in the corners of the garage and dirt smudges that cling to the throw rug by the fireplace. The time comes, however, when a man must face reality; when he must look squarely in the face of massive public sentiment to the contrary and announce: "This cat smells like a port-a-potty on a hot day in Juarez." When that day arrives at your house, as it has in mine, I have some advice you might consider as you place your feline friend under you arm and head for the bathtub: 1) Know that although the cat has the advantage of quickness and lack of concern for human life, you have the advantage of strength. Capitalize on that advantage by selecting the battlefield. Don't try to bathe him in an open area where he can force you to chase him. Pick a very small bathroom. If your bathroom is more than four feet square, I recommend that you get in the tub with the cat and close the sliding-glass doors as if you were about to take a shower. A simple shower curtain will not do. A berserk cat can shred a three-ply rubber shower curtain quicker than a politician can shift positions. 2) Know that a cat has claws and will not hesitate to remove all the skin from your body. Your advantage here is that you are smart and know how to dress to protect yourself. I recommend canvas overalls tucked into high-top construction boots, a pair of steelmesh gloves, an army helmet, a hockey face mask and a long-sleeved flack jacket. 3) Prepare everything in advance. There is no time to go out for a towel when you have a cat digging a hole in your flack jacket. Draw the water. Make sure the bottle of kitty shampoo is inside the glass enclosure. Make sure the towel can be reached, even if you are lying on your back in the water. 4) Use the element of surprise. Pick up your cat nonchalantly, as if to simply carry him over to his supper dish. Cats will not usually notice your strange attire. As a rule, they have little or no interest in fashion. But if he does notice your garb, calmly explain that you are taking part in a product-testing experiment for J.C. Penney. 5) Once you are inside the bathroom, speed is essential to your survival. In a single liquid motion, shut the bathroom door, step into the tub enclosure, slide the glass door shut, dip the cat in the water and squirt him with shampoo. You have begun one of the wildest 45 seconds of your life. 6) Cats have no handles. 7) Add the fact that your cat now has soapy fur, and the problem is radically compounded. Do not expect to hold on to him for more that two or three seconds at a time. When you have him, however, you must remember to give him another squirt of shampoo and rub like crazy. He'll then spring free and fall back into the water, thereby rinsing himself off. The national record is (for cats) three latherings, so don't expect too much. 8) Next, the cat must be dried. Novice cat bathers always assume this part will be the most difficult, for humans generally are worn out at this point and the cat is just getting really determined. In fact, the drying is simple compared to what you have just been through. That's because by now the cat is semi-permanently affixed to your right leg. You simply pop the drain plug with your foot, reach for your towel and wait. Occasionally, however, the cat will end up clinging to the top of your army helmet. If this happens, the best thing you can do is to shake him loose and to encourage him toward your leg. After all the water is drained from the tub, it is a simple matter to just reach down and dry the cat. In a few days the cat will relax enough to be removed from your leg.
He will usually have nothing to say for about three weeks and will spend a lot of time sitting with his back to you. He might even become psycho-ceramic and develop the fixed stare of a plaster figurine. You will be tempted to assume he is angry. This isn't usually the case. As a rule, he is simply plotting ways to get through your defenses and injure you for life the next time you decide to give him a bath. But, at least now he smells a lot better.
What's bad about this is that it actually makes perfect sense from a psychologist's point of view. This is a perfectly accurate appraisal of the book based on Freudian symbolism. (I think that's the most intelligent sounding thing I've ever said.)

Langston) Sent-To: Mike Jittlov Forwarded-by: bostic@vangogh.CS.Berkeley.EDU (Keith Bostic) BOOK REVIEW _The Cat in the Hat_ by Dr. Seuss, 61 pages. Beginner Books, $3.95 The Cat in the Hat is a hard-hitting novel of prose and poetry in which the author re-examines the dynamic rhyming schemes and bold imagery of some of his earlier works, most notably _Green Eggs and Ham_, _If I Ran the Zoo_, and _Why Can't I Shower With Mommy?_ In this novel, Theodore Geisel, writing under the pseudonym Dr. Seuss, pays homage to the great Dr. Sigmund Freud in a nightmarish fantasy of a renegade feline helping two young children understand their own frustrated sexuality. The story opens with two youngsters, a brother and a sister, abandoned by their mother, staring mournfully through the window of their single-family dwelling. In the foreground, a large tree/phallic symbol dances wildly in the wind, taunting the children and encouraging them to succumb to the sexual yearnings they undoubtedly feel for each other. Even to the most unlearned reader, the blatant references to the incestuous relationship the two share set the tone for Seuss' probing examination of the satisfaction of primitive needs. The Cat proceeds to charm the wary youths into engaging in what he so innocently refers to as "tricks." At this point, the fish, an obvious Christ figure who represents the prevailing Christian morality, attempts to warn the children, and thus, in effect, warns all of humanity of the dangers associated with the unleashing of the primal urges. In response to this, the cat proceeds to balance the aquatic naysayer on the end of his umbrella, essentially saying, "Down with morality; down with God!" After poohpoohing the righteous rantings of the waterlogged Christ figure, the Cat begins to juggle several icons of Western culture, most notably two books, representing the Old and New Testaments, and a saucer of lactal fluid, an ironic reference to maternal loss the two children experienced when their mother abandoned them "for the afternoon." Our heroic Id adds to this bold gesture a rake and a toy man, and thus completes the Oedipal triangle. Later in the novel, Seuss introduces the proverbial Pandora's box, a large red crate out of which the Id releases Thing One, or Freud's concept of Ego, the division of the psyche that serves as the conscious mediator between the person and reality, and Thing Two, the Superego which functions to reward and punish through a system of moral attitudes, conscience, and guilt. Referring to this box, the Cat says, "Now look at this trick. Take a look!" In this, Dr. Seuss uses the children as a brilliant metaphor for the reader, and asks the reader to re-examine his own inner self. The children, unable to control the Id, Ego, and Superego allow these creatures to run free and mess up the house, or more symbolically, control their lives. This rampage continues until the fish, or Christ symbol, warns that the mother is returning to reinstate the Oedipal triangle that existed before her abandonment of the children. At this point, Seuss introduces a many-armed cleaning device which represents the psychoanalytic couch, which proceeds to put the two youngsters' lives back in order. With powerful simplicity, clarity, and drama, Seuss reduces Freud's concepts on the dynamics of the human psyche to an easily understood gesture. Mr. Seuss' poetry and choice of words is equally impressive and serves as a splendid counterpart to his bold symbolism. In all, his writing style is quick and fluid, making _The Cat in the Hat_ impossible to put down. While this novel is 61 pages in length, and one can read it in five minutes or less, it is not until after multiple readings that the genius of this modern day master becomes apparent.

Message 1418: From pud!psl@bellcore.bellcore.com Wed Mar 2 03:30:27 1994 To: Fun_People@bellcore.bellcore.com Subject: Concerning your recent submission Sent-To: jittlov@erehwon.caltech.edu (Mike Jittlov) Reply-To: psl@acm.org (Peter S. Langston) Forwarded-from: /dev/null@gauss.asd.sgi.com From: rowehe@lp.musc.edu Paleoanthropology Division Smithsonian Institute 207 Pennsylvania Avenue Washington, DC 20078 Dear Sir: Thank you for your latest submission to the Institute, labeled "211-D, layer seven, next to the clothesline post. Hominid skull." We have given this specimen a careful and detailed examination, and regret to inform you that we disagree with your theory that it represents "conclusive proof of the presence of Early Man in Charleston County two million years ago." Rather, it appears that what you have found is the head of a Barbie doll, of the variety one of our staff, who has small children, believes to be the "Malibu Barbie". It is evident that you have given a great deal of thought to the analysis of this specimen, and you may be quite certain that those of us who are familiar with your prior work in the field were loathe to come to contradiction with your findings. However, we do feel that there are a number of physical attributes of the specimen which might have tipped you off to it's modern origin: 1. The material is molded plastic. Ancient hominid remains are typically fossilized bone. 2. The cranial capacity of the specimen is approximately 9 cubic centimeters, well below the threshold of even the earliest identified proto-hominids. 3. The dentition pattern evident on the "skull" is more consistent with the common domesticated dog than it is with the "ravenous man-eating Pliocene clams" you speculate roamed the wetlands during that time. This latter finding is certainly one of the most intriguing hypotheses you have submitted in your history with this institution, but the evidence seems to weigh rather heavily against it. Without going into too much detail, let us say that: A. The specimen looks like the head of a Barbie doll that a dog has chewed on. B. Clams don't have teeth. It is with feelings tinged with melancholy that we must deny your request to have the specimen carbon dated. This is partially due to the heavy load our lab must bear in its normal operation, and partly due to carbon dating's notorious inaccuracy in fossils of recent geologic record. To the best of our knowledge, no Barbie dolls were produced prior to 1956 AD, and carbon dating is likely to produce wildly inaccurate results. Sadly, we must also deny your request that we approach the National Science Foundation's Phylogeny Department with the concept of assigning your specimen the scientific name "Australopithecus spiff-arino." Speaking personally, I, for one, fought tenaciously for the acceptance of your proposed taxonomy, but was ultimately voted down because the species name you selected was hyphenated, and didn't really sound like it might be Latin. However, we gladly accept your generous donation of this fascinating specimen to the museum. While it is undoubtedly not a hominid fossil, it is, nonetheless, yet another riveting example of the great body of work you seem to accumulate here so effortlessly. You should know that our Director has reserved a special shelf in his own office for the display of the specimens you have previously submitted to the Institution, and the entire staff speculates daily on what you will happen upon next in your digs at the site you have discovered in your back yard. We eagerly anticipate your trip to our nation's capital that you proposed in your last letter, and several of us are pressing the Director to pay for it. We are particularly interested in hearing you expand on your theories surrounding the "trans-positating fillifitation of ferrous ions in a structural matrix" that makes the excellent juvenile Tyrannosaurus rex femur you recently discovered take on the deceptive appearance of a rusty 9-mm Sears Craftsman automotive crescent wrench.

The saddest thing about this is that only 80% of the audience knew it. I read somewhere once that in the Russian version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, no one asks the audience, because the Russian people are so poor, they are jealous and don't want the person to win, so they will purposely give the wrong answer.

This is great.
Definitely one of the lesser known of mythical bests, you are described as having the head and legs of a cock, the body of a serpent, and the wings of a bat (although there are wingless varieties). You were the blame of hundreds of thousands of deaths in the middle ages. Your breath and even gaze was deadly. Hundreds of basilisk hunts were organized to get rid of you. The hunters would carry mirrors so that, if they encountered you, they would have you look in the mirror and destroy yourself! Weasels were also reputed to be able to kill you, as they could resist your deadly gaze. You were a potent symbol of death and in some cultures the embodiment of Death himself. In Christianity, the Basilisk was linked with Satan. http://www.yayajon.com/watercircle/beastquiz.html
Although the test isnt very accurate. The first couple of times I took it, it kept saying I was a unicorn, with powers to heal, and the nicest mythical creature ever, even though I kept answering the questions evilly.

Time for a patented Kevin Underwood bitch fest. I went to Sonic for lunch today. It was completely nasty. My bacon cheeseburger was cold, and the bun was hard, and the whole thing tasted like it was a couple of hours old. The chili-cheese fries were also very cold. The chili and cheese had turned into a hard mass and only was on about a third of the fries anyway. The fries themselves were cold and hard too. And they only gave me a plastic spoon to eat it with. A plastic fork would have been nice. The spoon would have worked if the food had been fresh, but a spoon would not cut through the hard, coagulated mess. They also only gave me one napkin. Even my drink was gross. I got a Route 44 size cherry limeade. The drink, while red, had no cherry flavor. It just tasted like a limeade, and a really strong, sour one at that. Even ordering the food was a hassle. I pressed the little button, and had to wait three or four minutes before anyone answered. And they weren't even busy, there were four cars there besides me. And the lady who took my order didn't know what she was doing. She could barely work the headset, it sounded like, and then when she read the order back to me she said, "that's a Sonic Bacon Cheeseburger, a large chili-cheese fry, and a small, I mean, Route 44, cherry limeade. That'll be $4.67, I mean, $7.67." That's another thing I don't like about Sonic, they are too exspensive. That's why I hardly ever eat there. And then, while I was waiting for my food, I noticed something else that bothers me. Spelling and grammar mistakes on signs. I noticed a store across the street and painted on the front window was, "Used furniture and appliances," only furniture was spelled "furnituer." Then I decided to drive out to the lake to eat my meal. I don't really have any complaints about that, except that on the ground right outside my car door was a ripped pair of black panties. Oh well, at least it wasn't used condoms like usual. Okay, the bitch fest is done. Here's something interesting I found last night. A page about the perils of flouride in the water. No, it's not one of those weird mind-control conspiracies. But did you know that flouride is one of the deadliest poisons in anything except miniscule amounts? It also sites research that links flouridated water with an increase in certain medical conditions, such as cancer, immune deficiency, and the fusing together of the vertebrae. http://www.earthlife.org.za/factsheets/fs-flouride.htm to read more. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2002/10/time-for-patented-kevin-underwood.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=82809926

Tell yourself that I speak cryptic whenever I get the chance, that I like talking to you in the gibberish I've had to invent in order to find out anything at all from you about what you, and the pigs whose asses you perpetually kiss, are doing with MY LIFE.

Listen to everything the agents of Gerald Ford and Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger and Howard Hunt and Meyer Lansky tell you about what I actually mean to say, and pay no attention to the fact that I am a witness to the John Kennedy and Lee Oswald murders. Just keep right on believing that I am the one who is a racist and a puritan and they, on the other hand, are psychedelic hippie radicals with flowers in their hair. Relax, it all has to do with karma and reincarnation -- don't think about it and maybe it will go away. http://www.angelfire.com/or/mctrl/index.html doesn't have anything to do with it.

You might as well believe something. Right? Never mind where the http://www.geocities.com/~nduval/ gets its money or where the World-Wide Church of God gets its power! What the hell business is that of yours? Worry, instead, about whether or not your next-door neighbor is into ass fucking, or whether or not his wife masturbates. Why make a half-
assed fool out of yourself when you can be a complete fool, instead? In addition to worrying about the sex lives of strangers you might want to also take up quarreling about religion. Since the whole world is going to hell in a handbasket, since the U.S. Constitution now serves a purely decorative purpose, and since your whole nation is being enslaved by an elite technocracy of Neo-Nazis disguised as Bolsheviks, why the hell not squander all your time gossiping? Go right ahead -- keep it up until every human being who differs from you racially, psychologically, sexually, ideologically, or religiously hates your no-good busy-body guts. You don't need them to help you throw off the ruling class. There isn't any such thing as a ruling class in this country anyway. If there was, then you wouldn't be able to vote and thereby elect your own oppressors, right? And even if there is a ruling class, they don't have the goddamned Russian government working for them as a bunch of quasi-fascist scabs and, in any case, they certainly don't want to insert silicone chips into the bases of your skulls and thereby manipulate your behavior. Things like that are too paranoid to be true. So relax. If that is difficult, trying to repeat this mantra over and over to yourself will help: LEE HARVEY OSWALD, ACTING ALONE, MURDERED PRESIDENT KENNEDY; LEE HARVEY OSWALD, ACTING ALONE, MURDERED PRESIDENT KENNEDY...But you have to say it with conviction if you want it to work. Does that sound difficult? Where is your faith? How do you expect to accomplish anything without faith? That's all right. Don't worry about anything I say here. Everyone knows that I speak very mysteriously at all times, seeming to say one thing while actually saying something else. Just ask Gerald Ford or any retired member of the CIA Psychological and Political Warfare Unit. Actually I'm just a paranoid. You see, John F. Kennedy and Lee Oswald actually both died of natural causes, and the country has been in beautiful shape ever since then anyhow. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2002/10/hmmm-ive-posted-lot-of-links-today.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=82726498

Anyway, I drove to Norman and went to the Supercenter and got some more Maruchan Noodle Cup Things. I'd been out for several days. I also bought a new video game, Kingdom Hearts, for the Playstation 2. This game is like a Disney/Final Fantasy crossover. It's made by Square, the Final Fantasy company, and it features new characters, plus characters from previous Final Fantasy games, and over 100 Disney characters. The game has different worlds, all of which are based on different Disney Animated Features, such as Alice in Wonderland, Aladdin, Tarzan, and The Nightmare Before Christmas. Since when is Nightmare Before Christmas a Disney movie? I had no idea. I'm not complaining though, I love that movie, and can't wait to play that stage. And, yes, unfortunately, Winnie the Pooh and company are in the game also. The game isn't as bad as it sounds. I, and most Final Fantasy and Square Soft video game fans were worried about this game. But it is actually very good, and very well done. The game benefits from the Disney voice acting. Most of the Disney characters are voiced by major actors, presumably whoever did their voice in the movie, I guess, when that's possible. The voice of the main character you play as is done by Haley Joel Osment. Other big name voice actors are Billy Zane, Mandy Moore, Lance Bass (as the voice of Sephiroth, no less. I wonder how that's gonna work out?), Sean Astin, Dan Castellaneta, James Woods, and about 30 others. Your main group of people that you play as are the "Final Fantasy Type" character, Sora, and the Disney characters, Donald Duck, who is a wizard, and Goofy, who is a knight. In many of the stages you are joined by some character from the movie on which the stage is based, but they leave after a while. The battle system and play style is different from most video games like this. Instead of the screen changing into a battle mode in which there is not that much movement, the enemies are right in the stage with you, you can fight them, run from them, jump over them, whatever. The battle system is more like that of the Legend of Zelda games for the Nintendo 64. You can lock onto the enemies for better accuracy, but it also leaves you a little more open to attacks from any enemies that come up behind you while you are fighting. You do most of your fighting with the "Keyblade," a sword that looks like, you guessed it, a giant key. You can also use magic, including Summon spells. The summoms spells summon Disney characters, such as Dumbo, who sprays water from his trunk, and Bambi, who hops around leaving a trail of items to help you. I played for about 4 hours, so I am not that far yet, but it looks to be pretty good. http://www.kingdomhearts.com posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2002/10/ive-had-busy-day-today.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=82498642
Turmoil at work...but what else is new? Okay, so the other day Jimmy quit. He just suddenly left for Iowa to be near his son, didn't say goodbye to anyone. Doesn't bother me. Yeah, Jimmy was pretty cool, but I still don't care that much. http://www.stuffexplodes.blogspot.com freaking out about it, though. She liked Jimmy, a lot, and something like this happened to her before. Some guy she liked left her suddenly without saying goodbye, and it really hurt her. She has yet to get over it, and now it's happened again. She wouldn't even beleive it at first. She walked around all afternoon at work repeating, "he has to work tomorrow at 2. He has to show up. He'll be here, he has to work tomorrow at 2..." Then she accused us of making it up. She said it was a joke and we were all in on it. Doing it just to hurt her. Well fuck you too, Alicia. I'm sorry Alicia, I know it probably hurt you more than I can know, but still, you're taking it a little too far. Dressing like a widow? Wearing all black for a week? That's fucking ridiculous. You're not the only person who's ever been hurt.
and I can barely type now. Looking at the computer screen always makes them bad. I put my glasses on, but they aren't helping much. Maybe I shouldn't read so much tonight, maybe I should only read a couple of hundred pages. I have an extremely fast reading rate. I took a reading class in high school, I didn't need it, i took it because it would be an easy A. The main thing we did in class was use these computer programs that displayed text at a variable rate of speed, and then answer questions on what we read. The point was to increase our reading speed while still having a good comprehension. Most of the people in the class had a top speed of 150 words per minute with a 75 to 80% comprehension rate. Those were the good ones. Some of the people couldn't even break 100 words per minute. Some of the people that graduated high school with me could barely read at all. Oklahoma has one of the lowest literacy rates in the country. It might even be THE lowest. I think so, they were talking about it on the news a few weeks ago. At the beginning of the course I was reading 250 to 300 words per minute. By the end of the course I was up to 450 WPM, with a 80 to 85% comprehension rate. The comprehension tests weren't very fair, they usually only had 5 or 10 questions, so miss one question and you could get an 80 or 90%. I've always been a fantastic reader. According to the test the school gave me I was reading at a third-grade level when I entered kindergarten, and by thirdgrade I was reading college level books. Reading and English were always my best areas on those state tests they'd give us, and on the ACT. I never took the SAT, but on the ACT I made a 35 out of 36 on the reading section, and a 32 on the English section. My overall score was 29. It was my math score of 21 that brought it down so far. I have to go now, my eyes are too bad. posted by Kevin @ http://futureworldruler.blogspot.com/2002/09/well-now-i-have-finished-vampire.html http://www.blogger.com/email-post.g? blogID=3773360&postID=82073200
was hurt, and none of us really liked Randy anyway, so we weren't concerned about the car. Actually the wreck was pretty fun. I was in the front seat and the guys in back kept hitting the lever to make my seat recline, and then they'd attack me while I was in this awkward position. Randy got distracted, and went like a couple of inches over the line of the right lane, and onto the shoulder. Just a couple of inches. And I was like, "Hey Randy, you might want to stay on the road." And he looks up and says, "Oh shit!" and just turns the wheel as hard as he can to the left, and we go into a spin. We spin down the highway at like 80, for half a mile, and finally hit a street light. It was kinda fun actually, spinning around like that while my seat was laying back. The streetlight fell over across the highway, and other people kept running over it. A car full of teenage girls hit it and it messed up their car, and they had to pull over, and they all started yelling at us and stuff. One of them called their father and he arrived and he was like a lawyer or something. Anyway the rest of us came out fine, no one was hurt, and the only one who had to be concerned about anything was Randy. Ok, I'm gonna go back to Homestarrunner.com.

Oklahoma sucks. No, I mean it. Oklahoma really is horrible. I live in a small town of something like 4000-5000 people. And what's really bad about that is that we are one of the bigger towns in the area, unless you go north, where there is Norman, and Oklahoma city. People from other towns come here for their shopping and things like that, because their towns are even worse. Lexington, the town that is right next to us doesn't even have any fast food chains or anything, that's how small it is. Most of the people from Lexington just live there, they do all their shopping and working and stuff like that here in Purcell. Oklahoma is part of the bible belt, with a heavy religious influence. There's probably 15 churches in this town. I can look out my window and see three. How fucking pathetic is that? The main denominations in town are Baptist, Church of Christ, and Pentacostal and Pentacostal Holiness, in that order probably. Though most of the Baptists around here aren't Southern Baptist, most of them are so strict they aren't much better. They don't allow dancing or partying or anything like that. When my parents were kids there was, for a short time, a dance hall for the teenagers. The Baptists quickly shut it down, and now it's like a senior citizen center, where the old people go to have a good time, and dance. Pentacostal Holiness are even stricter, but they don't force the whole town to be the way they think it should be, like the Baptists do. For those of you who don't know, Pentacostal Holiness are just like one step up from being Amish. They aren't supposed to watch TV or anything like that, the man have to always wear long sleeves and the women have to wear dresses and can't cut their hair, and crap like that. Most of the people around here now are just Pentacostal, which isn't quite as strict, or just relaxed Pentacostal Holiness. Most of them watch TV for example. On top of all that, since there is such a religious influence, this is what's known as a "dry county." That means the beer is like three point instead of six, (or whatever it is, I don't drink beer) and all the liquor stores have to close at 9 pm. Basically it's really hard to get alcohol. There are no clubs around here, if you want to go to a club you have to drive to Oklahoma City, which is like 40 miles away. I think there are a couple of clubs in Norman, which is only 20 miles away, but they aren't very good. I don't go to clubs though, because I'm too shy, and I don't like to go to them alone, and I have no friends. But more on that some other time, that's not the point of this post. Tattoos parlors are illegal in Oklahoma. To legally get a tattoo you have to drive to Texas, and a lot of people do. The Texas tattoo places even advertise on the radio here. So the tattoo parlors set up shop just inside the Texas state border. You also can't get decent pornography in Oklahoma, you have to drive to Texas for that too. You can get the magazines here, but the movies are all "cable version." Basically an R-rated porno. Like what they show on Cinemax late at night. To get real porn you have to drive to Texas. So, like the tattoo parlors, there are several Adult Video shops on I-35 right after you enter Texas. One of them is right on the border, it's like 100 feet from the Red River, the border between Oklahoma and Texas. I'll admit, I've driven all the way to Texas solely to buy porn. I'm not the only one though, I know several guys that have done the same thing. It's a six hour drive there and back. Long way to go for porn. New Subject: it took me four hours to write the above because http://www.stuffexplodes.blogspot.com sent me a link for a cool site, http://www.homestarrunner.com, and I spent a long time there. It's a cool site with lots of hilarious flash movies. Another great site for Flash movies is http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/. Check out any movie by Niel Ciceraga, such as this one, http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/kungfuphil.html. Wow, that's a lot of links, and it's been years since I did any html coding, so I've forgotten most of it. Well, I think that's about enough for now. I'm off today and there's a lot I was wanting to get done today, and I'm already behind because of Alicia. I'm going to http://www.cafepress.com to check into making an online store, like I've been meaning to for almost two years now. And then I'm going to brush up on my html and start coding a web site, since my old one has been defunct for a couple of years now. It's still there, but Geocities has gone through so many buyouts and other changes since that none of the links are referenced right anymore, and most of the links and pictures no longer work. The text is still there, but that's about it. There's a lot of text though. Lots of little tiny white text on a black background. I haven't updated it in three or four years. http://www.geocities.com/psycomind.geo/ Oy! All these links! That is all, you may go now.

No Puppy! NOOOOOOOOOO! (Several minutes of louds explosion noises) No Puppy! You've set off a nuclear chain reaction over Washington D.C.! I told you not to touch that button! Hmmm, my posts haven't been very good the last couple of days. I've been having a hard time writing something good. I've been really tired the last few days. Right now I'm really tired, and I have a headache, so don't expect anything great out of this post either. I just saw an episode of City Confidential on A&E about http://www.who2.com/madalynmurrayohair.html. How come I've never heard of this woman?! I mean, things like that are my area of expertise. This woman was the founder of the American Atheists and known as the most hated woman in America. On this show they kept calling her "the embodiment of evil" and stuff like that because of the stuff she used to say about religion. That's ridiculous! The things she said were relatively tame, I say much worse things than that all the time! Tonight at work was really boring. It was really slow, no customers hardly. I didn't think the night was ever going to end. Luckily it was so slow I got to go home an hour early. I think I'm going to end this now, my heart's just not in it tonight.

Welcome to Hell...Please wait to be seated. It was a pretty busy night at work tonight. There was a football game tonight, OU vs. Texas, and we are the first town past Norman, (where the game was) on the way back to Texas. So after the game we got pretty busy. There was some rain tonight, not enough, but some. This year has made me very angry, we haven't had a decent thunderstorm this Spring or Summer. I love rain, especially thunderstorms, the worse the storm, the better. But for some reason we haven't had any this year. This is Tornado alley, we are supposed to have horrible storms in the Spring! It got really dark, but basically all it did was a hard shower. In Norman, about 20 miles north, there was so much lightning they stopped the game for almost an hour. 51 minutes, I think they said. OU won, 68 to 0. We had the game on the radio at work, otherwise I wouldn't have known, because I hate football. Last night at work a guy came through the drive-through, he looked like a giant, fat, dirty Leprechaun. He wasn't wearing Leprechaun clothes, but something about his face, red hair, and red goatee made me think of a Leprechaun. This blog has already lasted longer than my previous one. I had one a year or so ago, but I only made two posts and never came back, and now the site I had it on no longer exists. Well, it exists, but it's no longer a blog service. Back when I had this other blog I'd never even heard of a blog. This site called itself an "online diary." I had never heard of a blog until a couple of months ago. I just realized that there was no email link or anything anywhere on this page, so I added one over there on the left. If for some reason you feel the need to email me, go ahead. I may even write back, but don't get your hopes up. If you are an attractive, single female, in the central Oklahoma area, email me at once, and send pictures.

So, I'm sitting here eating a Maruchan Instant Lunch noodle cup thing, and the John Candy movie "Canadian Bacon" is playing on HBO. An interesting movie, I'd heard of it before but didn't know what it was about. Ok, so Alan Alda is the president, and his popularity rating is going down and they decide to try to start the cold war back up again to help his ratings. But Russia doesn't want to because it was the cold war spending that put their country in the condition it's in today. So America has to look elsewhere for an enemy. They go through all their old lists and all the old enemies are dead. One interesting comment, interesting especially since this is the day after the anniversary of the Sept. 11th attacks, is that the president suggests international terrorists as their new enemy, and the Defense Secretary says something along the lines of, "Are you kidding? We're not going to start missle production and everything back up just to combat a few guys with exploding cars." So eventually they decide to start a war with Canada, after there's a news report on TV about John Candy's character starting a Canadian vs. American riot after he commented that "Canadian beer sure does suck." My noodle cup is finally cool enough to eat. Yum, I love these things. http://www.stuffexplodes.blogspot.com/ is obsessed with Ramen, I like Ramen too, but I think I like these things better. Anyway, back to the movie. This movie reminds me of the South Park movie, with its war on Canada. It uses some similar jokes. They keep saying stuff like, "Canada isn't even a real country, it's more like the 51st state." And at one point they start showing Anti-Canada propaganda on TV to make people hate the Canadians. One of the news reporters says, "Imagine your children pledging allegiance to the maple leaf, mayonnaise on everything, winter 11 months a year, and Anne Murray all day." I missed the middle of the movie. I saw the beginning, and the last 20 minutes or so, but during the middle I went to the store to buy these noodle cups. I wish I would have seen all of it, it looked very interesting, and, despite being a comedy, it was also political, which is another good point. Oh cool, now Hamtaro is on Cartoon Network, I love this show. I love almost all Japanese cartoons. Hmmm, from politics to Hamtaro. I have a hamster, it looks kinda like Hamtaro. It's name is Harvey, even though it's a female. I named her after Weird Al's "Harvey the Wonder Hamster." I seldom call her Harvey, though. I call her something different almost everytime I see her. There's Harvey, Harvard, Harvmeister, and one of my favorites, Dr. Harvalonious. Lately I usually call her Harvard, which my mom started, she calls her "Harvard, the world's only college educated hamster." My mom's pretty weird too. Warning, Warning. Strange weapons are approaching! In other movie news my order from Amazon.com came in a couple of days ago. "Silence of the Hams." That's one of my favorite movies, but it's hard to find arround here. I've never seen a copy of it for sale. I got a used copy of it off Amazon.com for about $13 with shipping and handling. If you've never seen this movie, you should. Especially if you're a fan of Airplane and the Leslie Neilsen movies and things like that. This movie, written,
directed, and also acted in by Ezzio Greggio, is a very strange, wacky parody. It's more of a parody of "Psycho" than "Silence of the Lambs." It features Dom DeLuise as Dr. Animal the Cannibal Pizza, and Billy Zane as FBI agent Jo Dee Fostar. Jo Dee Fostar is trying to get Dr. Animal to tell him where to find the psycho killer, who he thinks killed his girlfriend, who, like in Psycho, stole money from her boss and ended up at a Motel and was killed in the shower. It's hard to pick a favorite scene, but I think it would be the scene where Jo is talking to Dr. Animal and Dr. Animal says "Tell me Clair-ass, what is your most disturbing, decadent, depraved, defoliated, decotaged, deformed, dried, dream?" And Jo sobs and says, "Ham." And Dr. Animal says, "Was the ham...silent?" And Jo starts crying, and Animal continues, "Ham can be very quiet. Very quiet. Unless it's falling down the stairs. Then it goes boom boom boom-ti-boom bum bam. Celery can be very loud. Apples, louder. Unless you have apple sauce...which goes very well with ham." And Jo sobs, "Stop! Please, no more questions!" I'm cracking up just thinking about it.

September 10th, 2002. Well, it just turned midnight, so it's technically the 11th. But, just this once, I'm not going to get technical, and I'm still going to proceed like it's the 10th. Anyway, let's begin again. September 10th, 2002. The day before the anniversary of the terrorist attacks on America. And I say...who gives a fuck? I'm sick of hearing about it! I was sick of hearing about it a week after it happened. I liked the coverage of it at first, because it was entertaining. But after a few days of it, it got boring! The same thing happened with the Murrah Building bombing in Oklahoma, from which I live only about 30 or 40 miles away. I didn't care about that, and I don't care about the WTC. No one I know was involved in either of them, no one I know was hurt. And as long as none of my close friends or I are hurt, I don't give a fuck how many people the terrorists kill. I'm not worried about it. I live in the middle of nowhere, there's not much chance they're going to bomb anything here. The only thing I'm worried about is Anthrax, or something else chemical or biological. They say there's a good chance of another attack of some kind tomorrow, (or today if you want to be really anal about it). Now I'm not hoping they attack, I'm not going that far, but if they do, let's just say I'll be watching the news coverage of it for the entertainment value. "We'll never forget." Hell no, we'll never forget, they wont let us! It's been a year people, get over it! People die every day! It's been a year and they're still talking about it! Constantly! It makes me want to kick a hole through the TV every time they say the words "September 11th," "World Trade Center," or "Osama bin Laden." Everytime I see a sign, or a poster, or a bumper sticker, or anything else that says, "God Bless America," or "These colors don't run," or anything else like that, I just want to scream, and rip the sign down, or run the car off the road. But I just got a new car, I don't want to ruin it with bloodstains so soon after I got it. It's a very nice car. Yes, I care about my car more than I care about, oh, just about everyone! In order to protect myself from the assload of September 11th memorial programming they'll be shitting onto us from almost every channel tommorrow, (okay, okay, TODAY!) I'm not turning my TV off of the Cartoon Network (where it nearly always is anyway). Yeah, yeah. I know my views are extremely unpopular, and I'm going to get tons of hate mail, and possibly be arrested by the government sponsored terrorist group known as the Office of Homeland Defense, or whatever they're called. Because after all, after the September 11th attacks, free speech, and certain other freedoms, had to be taken away from us, "For our own safety," they say. If you can figure that one out, please explain it to me. On second thought, don't. If that makes sense to you, you're obviously the kind of idiot that I don't want to talk to. The kind of idiot that makes me want to ruin my new car. So, by now you hate me. Good. I hate you too, and I've never even met you. And tomorrow, when you're watching your little September 11th shows and crying and hating the terrorists like a good little American sheep, remember what Adolf Hitler said: "The death of one is a tragedy. The death of millions is just a statistic." For ultimately, this is how the victims of the September 11th attacks will be remembered, as just a statistic. A mere number, on the page of a history book, scribbled on by a bored child. All the loved ones lost in this attack will be reduced to merely this. And I will laugh. Don't waste your time sending me hate mail. I won't even read it. Just think of me as the "shock jock" of the Internet. SubSpecies23
