Saw that girl again. She's cool.

Feel like a bad person or something cuz I've been drunk and high for over a week now.

[PC LOAD LETTER]

I hate getting calls from private numbers. Especially when they don't leave voicemails. Who in the name of all that is fuck would answer a blocked call like that? When they do leave a message (rarely) it's always some cold-calling company with an autodialer and a recorded message about "lowering your mortgage payments" or "health insurance only $130 per month" or "there have been break-ins reported in your neighborhood recently, purchase our home security equipment ..."

Actually, once, I think they forgot to block their number. I got a call about the third one, home security shit, from Japan. I answered the call just to say wassup to someone in Japan. It wasn't a recording that time, just someone who wanted to tell me about all the break-ins in my area and how I need a security system for my home. I told them I'm too poor to buy a house, but they if they give me a house first I'll put their security system in it.

I'm trying to write a cv for a part time job but I literally have no idea what to write. So far I have this:

I am currently balancing a degree in mathematics with being an attentive mother to my two year old son. Enthusiastic and friendly, I work well both as part of a team and on my own. I am both creative and scientific, and have a wide range of interests including drawing, creative writing, cooking, keeping fit and healthy and reading a variety of fiction and non-fiction. I enjoy challenges and push myself to do things that are out of my comfort zone. I hold myself to high standards and do everything to the very best of my ability.

Find a template for a CV. Exaggerate and boast. Your grades are great, you should have a job in no time. Looking for jobs reminds me of how much I hate capitalism. I've been trying to find a job as an accountant for 2 months.

Selling yourself as a commodity to make someone else rich is fun, fun, fun.

[Quail]

I had a quick scan through sample CVs earlier. I'm terrible at selling myself or writing good things about myself. I have low self-esteem and claiming that I'm this wonderful, perfect person who everyone should be tripping over themselves to hire makes me feel ridiculous.

I'm finally sober so I can actually type now. I was fucked up everyday almost 24/7 for over a week. Honestly, I'm a little happy to not be drunk or high on something. That shit gets draining and I was getting very disappointed with myself when all I do is sit on a couch for like 6 hours to high to get up.

I just left my city til september so I won't be able to see that girl for awhile but things are going well between us. She stayed over at my place a few times but we never had sex before last night. So we finally have sex (and it's goodbye sex too) and it was fucking awful. Not on her part or anything, she was great. Me on the other hand, shit, it was just completely embarrassing. Probably didn't help that I was high as balls and hadn't slept for like 2 days. But yeah, I made another terrible impression on her and it was humilating. She's nice, though, and she didn't really mind luckily. We're gonna see how things between us go when I get back and it seems as if I might date her which would be cool cuz she's a really cool person. Really caring too.

I fucked my entire shoulder and side up while skating yesterday. I bombed this massive hill and ate complete shit. Like, bad hahaha I have no skin on my shoulder and it fucking sucks. Funniest thing about it was that a skate team was at the bottom of the hill filming and got it all on tape.

That girl came over later that night and cleaned me up which was awesome cuz I couldn't do it and no one wanted to do it cuz they were afraid I was going to punch them or something when putting the peroxide on.


Saw an accident today and called the cops cuz it was right in front of me. It felt strange calling the cops. They're usually called on me instead lol

I was suppose to go on a Equality march this morning but before I got half-way to my destination I decided to call home and be picked up.I don't know what happened.I guess my mental reserves weren't in the mood to continue the rest of the walk and then march.I am disappointed in myself to say the least.

So to help myself "get over" this small bout of depression (http://www.chadzboyz.com/chadzforum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=35897&p=1005660#) I decided to take a nap which I just woke up from.It wasn't the most peaceful nap is all I will say.I dreamed that after one outing searching for my cats, who often escape outside,I encountered them fighting this little goblin monster creature.It was a rabid freak with drool and froth boiling from its mouth, its neck large with blood pumping through.I jumped right in so I could save my pets, though at this point in the dream the animals had all but left my mind.After some vague dream stuff the dream ended after I used my bare hands to strangle the beast to death;I still remember the feel of my hands on its fur clad neck as I squeezed as hard as I can, slowly feeling the life drain away from its grotesque body.Afterwards,before the dream ended in its entirety,I might have hit it with a shovel for decapitation but am unsure.

I cannot say I feel much better after having that episode.

I usually don't take naps unless I'm really tired. For some reason something about waking up in the afternoon or evening makes me depressed.

On a side note, I went to this site where they ran an incredibly idiotic article claiming that the "batman" shooter was brainwashed by the government to do those things in order to advance support for the UN small arms treaty. The most solid evidence brought forward was the timing of the attack to coincide with the UN treaty vote, or whatever. If you think that this is flimsy evidence, I would be inclined to agree, which says a lot about how weak their other "evidence" was. Anyway, I got my facebook sockpuppet and posted something I thought was pretty benign. When I went to check for responses later on, I find that my comment is not there. I check the page again today, and there are like 5 or 6 people making the exact same argument I made. Weird, is all I have to say. I mean, it's entirely possible that these people came up with the same argument on their own, given that some of the refuations for the claims in the article were pretty obvious, but it still doesn't explain what the fuck happened to my comment! There's not even a record of it in my facebook history. Best explanation is that I never posted it in the first place, but thought that I did. Also possible that since I was replying to someone, that that person deleted it, but it's odd because I was in basic agreement with the person I was responding to, I was simply elaborating on his point. In any case, wouldn't I still have a record of it somewhere.

Maybe someone can help me with this. I haven't deleted any of my history, cookies or caches from my browser, so it's entirely possible that I could at least see the comment again. Also, I know that on facebook every comment has a unique ID number. If I was to request that comment through its ID number from facebook with maybe some URL manipulation, what are some possible results. I'm guessing that facebook would throw like a 404 or something, but I'm still a bit curious as to what exactly happened to my comment...

Having a bit of an issue:

Now that my parents are getting along and not being total fuckfaces to eachother, and thus no longer making every day a pain in the ass, I feel sort of apprehensive about running away and "reforging" my life because of how it might effect them.

I also feel weird...like I'm not as sane and rational as I used to be.

I feel like I must go forward with my plan, in order for me to actually be happy. I absolutely in no way wish to go forward with the whole stupid plan of me getting my BA, then my MA, then getting a fancy job and all this other normal bullshit. And I don't want to be 25 when I go forward with it.

I ran away 2 years ago when I lived with my parents and felt the same way. There is A LOT of shit that comes before, during, and after running away. It can really tear you up mentally. If you need to talk about shit whenever you can PM me.

It's not quite "running away." It's a term I use to describe my plan in a silly way.

Basically, the plan is to drive up to Seattle (when I get my license), stopping along the way (in SF, in particular). I'll hopefully be able to stay with anarchist friends there and get a job, then hopefully get a roommate and such. If all else fails, I think I might be fine with being a hobo.

I have several circle of friends, who every once in a while, overlap, but usually are in completely separate circles. I got some of my old high school buddies, who can be divided up further, because they don't all hang out with each other. I got my music connections, which is the same. Not all of them know each other. I have my political/activist fiend, most of them recent acquaintances, similar to the music folks in this respect. Oh yeah, and I have a few grad school friends, but I don't talk with most of them except on facebook.

[#FF0000]

I think everyone sort of compartmentalizes their friends like that.

It's a very distinct kind of horror one feels when introducing someone from one circle to someone from another, in my experience.

It's probably akin to how I noticed that the 3rd book of Hunger Games makes a decent allegorical story for the conflict between the US and the USSR. There probably isn't a connection but we as leftists see weird connections like that because that's how our brains end up being wired.

I was exposed to the party through old friends that I knew had joined the party. I saw what they were doing and it was cool and they had only good things to say about their experiences within the party.

Then a major cadre in the party happened to move out to Milwaukee (where I was living at the time) so they put me in contact with him. We met a few times, usually it was just me going to pick up some papers to hand out or something like that because I liked their literature better than the SP-USA's (who I was still a member of).

I think the real turning point for me becoming apart of WWP was a big counter-demonstration against the NSM. I saw how the party operates in crowds, with people who are hostile/friendly, and how disciplined they were.

From then on I just kept working with the cadre and we did a lot of stuff together. I got to met members of the party from all over the country including it's leadership and decided that it was the kind of party I'd like to officially belong too.

So now I'm going through the candidacy process to become a full member.

It's 91F out, but feels like 101 with the heat index. I was out all morning in this weather helping with Vacation Bible School at church. (There was nothing for me or for my mother to do, really, even though we were assigned to help with grades 2-4, so I decided we were part of the Anti-Spontaneous-Combustion Task Force. And we were successful in guarding all the children from a horrific fate.) Now I'm feeling really sick and weak and not even hungry even though it's lunchtime.

And I have my first exam for my Western Civ class tonight.

Yeah, their print seems fine, I read a couple articles a few days ago. Is this party really Stalinist?

[TheGodlessUtopian]

Yeah, their print seems fine, I read a couple articles a few days ago. Is this party really Stalinist?

It is Marcyist: so it tends to fall on the Anti-Stalinist, but pro-"Marxist-Leninist" side of things. I once asked the PSL, different party but very similar in doctrine, about where they stood on the issues of "Socialism in one country" as to "Permanent Revolution" and the reponse I got was that most members uphold the later. I assume the same is largely the case in the WWP, though I could be wrong. So in short, Post-Trotskyist.

[Leftsolidarity]

Yeah, their print seems fine, I read a couple articles a few days ago. Is this party really Stalinist?

Basically what TGU said. It originally started off as a Trotskyist party but the focus on that has faded. We still read a number of Trotsky's works, though. None by Stalin that I'm aware of. We criticize some of what Stalin did but we don't like to make him out as the boogey man either.

i found a way to fix my laptop.
1) found an old computer monitor for like $10 at a garage sale, plugged my laptop in. fixed the weird broken screen.
2)forgot to mention, it got overheating problems too. so my friend let me have some old keyboard they didnt need. i plugged in the keyboard and a mouse and flipped the laptop on its side so where normally the screen is facing towards you, the built in keyboard is instead. now i have a fan that ill run at the back since the fan inside that laptop is broken.

so basically i got myself a shitty ass desktop computer. :p

also a couple a days ago i smoked for the first time in a LONG time. even though we were only smoking reggie i got so high cus i hadnt smoked in so long. i smoked with a friend and his cousins, who were two very attractive girls the same age as us, and so i was kind of embarrassed cus i acted like somebody that aint smoked before. :o

The person is an ex-bf of an old house member and is a junkie. While I would never defend him from retribution from people in the scene for robbing the punk house, I also don't think it is correct to throw him to the prison system (which he's probably already been through).

The man obviously has a problem that he needs help with and he (for whatever fucking reason) thought we were an easy place to steal from and get drug money. The man needs help not prison.

I think it would be terrible for our image as an Anarchist/Communist punk house who organizes against the police and prison system to then play into that system once we were a victim of burglary. Yes, the police were needed to file a report and to get some stuff from the pawn shop but I think that's as much as we should use them for.

It's not my choice and it really isn't even the house's choice as a whole, I think. The reputation would go onto the house, though.

I don't really know what to do and am out of town til september so I can't even bring this up at a house meeting. I'm kind of torn on this.

Let me say that you have excellent insight and very legitimate concerns regarding this issue.

I would suggest finding allies in your commune that agree with you. Maybe get in touch with them through facebook, email, phone or whatever. At least then you'll have your opinion represented. It would be easier to manage things if you were there, but sometimes it is not possible, and you have to rely on others. Don't underestimate true comrades.

Trust me, if I lived in that house, I would be on the phone with you constantly giving you updates and telling you who said what and where they stand on the issue. There is no reason to send that guy to prison and to get the cops involved any more than they already are. For all you know, the feds could have put him up to it to disrupt and discredit your commune. While it's implausible, it's not impossible or unheard of.

Keep fighting it man. And provide some updates if you get some on the ground info. If you can gather enough allies, you could even threaten a split. It's harsh, but if you don't stand up for your convictions then you're not standing up for anything!

Solidarity.

Just got more updates and it's looking good.

I was incorrect in who I thought wanted to press charges. The person who does is kind of the "leader" (there isn't really a leader but he's the oldest, the rent is in his name, and in the past has been the ideological foundation) of the house. I was told that no one else is interested in pressing charges.

I was also incorrect about it being by individuals, it is by the group as a whole that the charges are filed. This is to my advantage, I believe, because the only thing that was "his" that was taken was the Tiller for the gardens.

Another thing, I was just informed that we have gotten everything back except a skateboard and the tiller. Those were the least expensive things I think but it would still be nice to get them back. Nothing that I find even remotely worthy of pressing charges to find, though.

I'm in contact with a major person in the house and he is in agreement with me and so is a second major person, I've been told.

I'm trying to reach the person who wants to press charges and if I can't before Sunday, they're going to try to have me on speaker phone during the house meeting.

Hopefully we can get this all done and taken care of without further police involvement.

Sounds like it might turn out ok, then. Good to hear.:)

[Landsharks eat metal]

Today turned out pretty fantastic. I thought I was going to have to help out with Bible School at church again, but it turned out they had enough people, so I got to go home. Then, I watched my neighbors' dogs for only a few hours and got paid $20, as well as a bag of those really fucking huge marshmallows, and a pair of Doc Martens (not boots, but still cool, and only a size too big.) I got paid all this pretty much for watching TV.

And then I went to class and somehow had gotten an A, and the highest grade in the class on the test. The professor said it in front of the class, but people were just happy for me and not pissed off. And in class when we were talking about feudalism, we watched a clip from Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Now we got out even earlier than usual, and even though there seems to have been a pretty bad storm outside (which is mostly passed, but still a bit of thunder) I'm not freaked out at all.

I never really understood what message the Monty Python films and sketches were trying to portray about Communism. There are many references to it, but it's not clear whether they're trying to offer a different perspective, or just taking the piss.

I see. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Industrial_piercing) When you said "industrial piercing" I first thought you meant somebody had been at you with a nailgun.

No tattoos or piercings here either, although I do like them on other people. I don't have any myself because I'm A) lazy and B) cheap.

Why don't they use local anaesthetic?

Yeah, it's not the most comfortable thing I've experienced.

Realistically, I'm probably gonna end up taking it out. It's in the same ear that I sleep on (only on the left side yeah that's the crip side), I wear beeswax in my hair, I always wear hats, I wear glasses, and I don't have the option of not wearing headphones for a few months given what I do -- so basically I'm an infection waiting to happen. I'll keep it for a few weeks though and see how it feels

If I were you I would take it out immediately so it heals up good.

The piercing itself only takes about 10 seconds, it's the really long healing process that's the painful part for most people (from what I've read)

I've had some pretty bad injuries that have stopped being agonising fairly quickly. I can't see how say, having a porcelain toilet handle shatter in one's hand and slice one's thumb open (this happened to me once) is better in pain terms than having a hole made in one's extremities with what is presumably clean and sharp equipment.

If it is a good piercer it really doesn't hurt that bad at all. I only have my ears pierced but it felt like a pinch and that was it. Except for when they closed up and I put in a bigger size than I had before. That fucking sucked.

When my sister comes home from college next week, my mother is going to take her to Baltimore to visit a grad school to get info about their toxicology program. And I'm probably going to get to tag along, get dropped off at the gigantic library, then make my way to Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse ("radical infoshop...run by a worker-owner collective"). Hopefully I'll get paid by my other neighbors for dog-sitting by then so I'll be able to go on an anarchist shopping (mini)spree. I'm excited.

And for some reason, the internet content filter my parents make me use blocks its website because it's classified as a "Religion" website :laugh: I somehow doubt it.

oh yeah, I can't imagine any piercing is more painful than that. still, a lot of people do find them pretty painful and, depending on the type of piercing and how long it takes to heal, the persistence of pain for months or even years can be more annoying than the initial piercing.

How often do you all call out of work when you want to do something?

I did it like once a month, sometimes a little less/more depending on what's going on that month.

Edit: and I only did it that often cuz I knew I was only going to be working at that place for a few months so it wouldn't be a huge deal. If it was a job I'd have to have for awhile I doubt I'd call in unless needed.

So this is an update about the break-in to our commune.

We've gotten everything back that was stolen (except for a skateboard) including stuff we didn't even know was stolen hahaha

No one wants to press charges anymore luckily

The people who robbed us basically started pissing themselves when their was about 60 pissed off people looking for our shit and then when we got their addresses and started showing up to their houses they basically just went "here you go".

Got our shit back within a week and it was a good $3000 worth of stuff.

Something way more interesting to me came out of all this, though.

When speaking with the cops a detective apparently spilled the beans that our house "leader" is on the FBI's Terrorist Watch List! We're thinking it's from the times he's gone over to Palestine and the work he's done over there. Pretty fucking creepy if you ask me.

i usually take forever to eat and wind up with only like 10 minutes left so im either talking to somebody or going across the street to one of the gas stations to grab a tea. theres only a few people at my place that i dont get along with, out of like 40-50ish people that work there.

ive had times where i run out of time to eat my food too, if we're fucking busy as shit and backed up. ive had a few times where i have to wait 10 minutes just for a manager to be free to get my food wrung up and then another 10 for it to be ready.

we dont got a stay in the breakroom either. i wouldnt want to stay in there anyway. some people eat in there but its always filled the fuck up with flies.

reading philosophy threads on this forum makes me incredibly overwhelmed. way too much to catch up on!

[¿Que?]

Breaks? What are those? Haha, nah, when I was working at the University, I had an office and a very loose schedule. It was alright, except it was part time and the pay wasn't that good.

More recently I worked at a restaurant where we didn't get breaks at all. Most of the week it was pretty slow, so it didn't really matter. Take a break from what? Chatting with my pretty coworkers (90% of the employees were women) and eating chips and salsa? But on the weekends, the fucking drunks would come in at night and fill up the restaurant. It sucked because I had to get all my prep work done before they came in, which gave me no time to take a break, and the rush would usually last until the end of my shift. So no breaks on the weekends.

#FF0000 (http://www.revleft.com/vb/member.php?u=14710), I admire that you are still on your regimen. I am considering trying to give up cigarettes again. Plus, there's a lady I like who is always talking about self improvement and environmentalism and all sorts of social/personal responsibility stuff, and although she's not really the type of girl I usually go for, I guess, in terms of looks, she's rather ok I guess, and like when I first saw her I wasn't too impressed. But when she started talking and she showed herself to be so intelligent and totally on my level about a lot of shit, that I started to take a fancy to her. She's a die hard environmentalist but not like a typical liberal environmentalist, like I originally pegged her as. No, she seems anti-capitalist and does not see, from our conversations and her facebook stuff, that environmental problems can be resolved through the capitalist system.

Sadly, I think she has a boyfriend. Some scruffy red headed bearded mountain man looking dude, who probably has very similar views as her. For the past couple of weeks or so, since I friended her on fb, I think like 70% of all the likes I've gotten on my comments and posts were from her. I think she's a few years younger than me as well, so that's sort of a negative as well, I guess, but whatever, thought I'd mention it.

EDIT: Some interesting contradictions, though. She does do freelance "green" consulting for businesses to make money on the side. But I think she has no illusions about anything "green" capitalist. She just need the scratch, I guess...

EDIT2: Also, I think the boyfriend is out of town or is a long distance relationship. I do a fair share amount of facebook snooping/stalking...am I bad for wanting to know?

EDIT3: And besides, the information is publicly available, I'm not crossing any boundaries that I know of. Anything she wants to keep private, she should not post on facebook? I'm more asking than asserting...

Bunch of meaningless truisms strung together with big words that doesn't mean anything while asserting that no one can know anything. Really popular during the 90s in pop culture, initially full of a lot of French ex-Maoists and ex-Stalinists who suddenly 'saw the gulag'(ie saw a pay cheque) during the early 70s.

I find exercise boring, but then I realised that I spend time passively watching tv in the evenings and I thought hey, if I'm watching tv I may as well be running instead of sitting down, so I can fit exercise in without changing anything about my day.

I just woke up from a dream where I was on a bus being shot up and a few second afterward like I was talking to people earlier in my dream about there was a an explosion that was so massive it probably destroyed the whole town. The feeling was so intense. I was absolutely blind sided by it. I have never had something like that happen to me in a dream before.

[Leftsolidarity]

I've been traveling by bus since 7:30 this morning (well technically yesterday morning) an won't be done til about 3 pm (I guess it's today now).

I hate traveling by bus but it's always so interesting. You meet so many people, hear so many stories, make good friends for 2 hours til you split paths and go and make more friends. I was having a layover in Cincinnati and this dude just walks up to be asking if I had a piece or anything. I said no but offered him a cigarette I rolled and he made it a joint instead. So me, him, and this other dude who walked up just got extremely baked before we got back on the bus. I got on and took an awesome stoned nap.

I'm pretty sick of traveling, though, cuz I'm on an iPad so I gotta try to keep it as hidden as possible and always have my eye on it and my guitar and shit so I kinda stay stressed the whole time.

(I'll have a recording or two posted in the coming weeks)

We should definitely do a show! That'd be rad.

I live in Rockford which is maybe an hour or 2 from Chicago. Me, my roommates, and people I know have connections all over so as long as you choose a semi-major city we could probably set up a show there. Where abouts is your band located generally?

I'm helping book a weekend tour through the Midwest for my buddy's band from out in Ohio and my band will probably tour with them. We're probably only gonna hit Chicago, Milwaukee, and Rockford.

Other cities that I'd possibly be able to set stuff up in would be Beloit, Janesville, dekalb, Freeport, Dundee (not super sure but maybe), Madison, and some others if I talk to some more people.

What places do you think you'd be interested in?

bought my first car yesterday! :)
i saved up for so long to be able to buy it. it's a 1997 ford contour. i got it for a good price off of some people i know who were working on it. its in good condition but damn its like 15 years old... i need to get a new stereo in it and some cupholders might be nice too.

one guy that i was talking to over there at the shop named marv was talking about how he'll work on cars from kids in carmel and zionsville (northern suburbs of indy) and how these kids treat their cars like shit since they dont pay for them at all. im going to treat mine good cus i cant afford to be fuckin it up. :p

Pep Boys has this nifty cup holder thing that slides between the seat and the center console. I had one in an older car I had (1991) without cup holders.

Also, if you get a decent head unit (like an older Alpine - I got one for $130) and decent speakers like Pioneer or Polk Audio you'll be fine without an amp and have a stereo that sounds awesome. When buying a head unit, pay attention to RMS output, not peak - peak is marketing crap. RMS is what it's actually putting out. It's more applicable when buying amps, but counts a bit with head units too if you're not going to add an amp. Sony's X-Plod stuff is notorious for having high "peak output" but then sorry-ass RMS output. Also, make sure the head unit has at least 4 channel pre-amp outs (L/R for front and rear) if you're going to amplifying all four main speakers.

Thanks homie! I'm aware of where Rockford is, I have 2 friends from there. Never been there personally.
We're located on the otherside of the Midwest a.k.a. the Great Plains. We're in Omaha, Nebraska and probably looking to somewhere along the lines of Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, Kansas... or something like that.
I would love to tour this fall but it's already August and I just don't think we're ready for a last minute tour unless it's like, a mini weekend tour in October or November. So right now I think we're aiming for spring! :lol:

[Landsharks eat metal]

"Marx had a very Christian heart"- my ethics professor, who also tried to paint feudalism as a fantastic system that was great for the workers until it was ruined by capitalism. And he also doesn't think that we ever need to worry that there will be no consideration for the workers because the system [or whatever, I was too busy stifling my laughter at all the stupid shit he said to pay attention] will not allow this to happen.

He confuses me too, because he goes back and forth between saying the system works and that it doesn't, and sometimes he says what we have is capitalism and other times he says it's a mixture of capitalism and socialism. He needs to figure some shit out before he tries to teach Marx.

Oh shit Omaha? Haha I'm not super connected to out by there but some of my friends might be. A touring band from there just played with us at our house a few weeks ago. They're called "The Shidiots", you heard of them? They kick ass and if you want I could try and put you guys in contact so maybe they could help hook you guys up with places more around there. I could for sure get you in Illinois and Wisconsin. If I really try I could probably get Minnesota, Iowa (I know people who have connections to the music scene in the Quad cities but thats it), and Michigan. As for Indiana, Missouri, and Kansas I can't think of any connections except I did just meet a guy on the bus yesterday who apparently is involved with some music scenes down in Kansas I think he said. I got his number so that actually might happen.

Haha I've never actually sat down and thought about all the different scenes I can connect too. I'm realizing now that it's a lot lol

That is just sad... I do not think I can even express my disappointment in the human race over that... but I will try; this makes me remember of one time back in Middle School when I was sitting on the bus with an old classmate and the discussion turned to histories wars (a favored topic among adolescents).You know what this kid thought?... well he didn't actually think much but he didn't know who the U.S fought against during the Vietnam war-HE THOUGHT WE FOUGHT HITLER THAN! I lost faith in humanity that day.Is something I will never forget. lol

Yesterday I mentioned V For Vendetta and my mother thought I said "Beaver Vendetta" :lol: If I didn't like my current username so much, I'd consider changing it to that.

Last night I tried an energy drink (Monster) for the first time just as an experiment to see what happened. It was disgusting and I could only drink about half, or maybe less, of it. I thought I'd get really hyper or something, but it just made me really relaxed and kind of tired. On the ride home from school I hyperfocused on all the rays of light I saw coming off of anything the slightest bit bright (as long as it wasn't blocked by trees), particularly the moon. Then I sort of fell in love with the moon or something. When I couldn't see it behind the trees for a while, I was completely devastated and thought the moon was my entire life. Whenever anybody talked, I got mildly irritated (this isn't too unusual) because I wanted them to just shut up and look at the pretty lights with me (this is unusual). But I can't tell if all of this is from the energy drink because I'm kind of sleep-deprived and have a tendency to act weird at random times without help from any chemicals.

Snap. Yeah I know the Shidiots personally. Man they're old-schooll but it's awesome they're still touring and doing their thing. They were keeping the punk-rock scene alive and inspiring the younger kids to do stuff. Cool!
Omaha has a lot of rad bands. Come hang someday! :cool:

Any help is appreciated. Illinois and Wisconsin I do need help with, so mucho thanks. I have a little contact with Iowa City/Waterloo/Quad Cities, so Iowa isn't a problem but you might be cooler with them than I am. Kansas and Missouri are no worries, I got that covered.
Places like Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota are where we probably need the most help.
I lived in Indiana for about 2 years and through there I met a lot of bands in the tri-state area (Chicago, NW Indiana, SW Michigan) like The Reptillian, Native, La Dispute, Lion of the North, Merchant Ships, etc. So hopefully those contacts can help.

Fuck I might have broken my toe. I hit it on the metal bar in taekwondo class because I wasn't paying enough attention to where I was going and the instructor had us lined up too close together so I was almost against the wall trying not to run into other students. My toe is now crooked, really swollen, and part of it is black on the underside. I just feel awful and stupid for having done this because I was the highest ranked student in the class by a lot, so it shouldn't have been me, the one who will be eligible to test for black belt in a few months and the one who is supposed to be a leader and a good example, who got hurt. But then I feel like I'm wishing my pain on someone else.

I just wish I could have been doing something a little more badass than warm-up drills when I got hurt.

Last night in ethics class was interesting. My group presentation was a puppet show about whether or not war is morally justifiable, and I made a Howard Zinn sockpuppet. Then other groups presented on illegal immigration, long-term government assistance, and capital punishment. All the groups seemed have at least one person who went around saying stupid shit, but this one guy from the capital punishment took the cake. I kind of hope he was trolling or something.
-Nazism died after Hitler died. (Plus, he made it sound like Hitler was publicly executed for war crimes.)
-Terrorists will decide they don't want to kill people if the person they look up to is killed.
-We killed Bin Laden to show that the Lord our God meant what he said when he said Thou shalt not kill
It was so hard not to laugh after he said that last one.

My toe actually is broken, but thankfully that's all that was broken. I had to get some x-rays, which took up a lot of my morning. But there were two kind of maybe awesomeish things at the doctor's office.

Well the first one started off awesome. The administrative assistant (or whatever the lady at the front desk is) just saw me out of the corner of her eyes and called me sir. She "corrected" herself when she looked at me straight on, which is still really depressing, I guess.

Then when they took me back and checked my height and weight, they measured me at 5'3" instead of 5'2". I'm guessing it was some sort of mismeasurement, but I'm just going to pretend I'm taller :D

When I talked about my ethics class, I should have mentioned the other interesting presenter. She was arguing in front of the class against long-term government assistance because "my baby daddy on welfare and he don't have to work or pay child support". I seriously thought that was just some sort of weird stereotype and that people aren't actually like her, but a lot of the people at my school are from Lancaster city, so I can't expect everyone to be naive country people like me. Even the professor was having trouble not laughing when echoing her use of "baby daddy". But now I feel like I'm being somehow racist or classist or something.

I'll keep looking I guess.

Edit: Found another one and just went for it. It is birthday money after all, and if I was buying a present for someone else (say my partner) I would spend a bit of extra money for something nice, so why shouldn't I do the same for myself? I'll just put the rest of my birthday money in my bank account so I can buy nice things every so often until Christmas (or pay off my overdraft, but I was hoping my student loan would do that).

My mother went off to California to help out her parents a little and won't be back until Tuesday. Most of the day I'll be totally alone, but my dad is going to be around in the evenings. I hope he and I will get along okay because he seems completely incapable of communicating with me (and I'm more frustrated than usual because my broken toe has prevented me from going into my taekwondo classes for a while.)
All day, it's just going to be me and my rat and the first season of Star Trek I got out of the library (and studying Dutch too, if I can get myself motivated again.)

Also, I made a profile on a website for people to find tutors for their kids and I thought I hadn't activated it as I was still wondering whether or not I should try and get some work tutoring kids for their gcses/a levels, but it must have been active because someone contacted me and I agreed to do it. They're going to contact me properly sometime this week and I'm ridiculously nervous. I'm worried I'm just going to be useless at it and a waste of their money. I'm hoping it will be good experience and help when I want to apply for teacher training. Plus, it isn't bad money, although I think anything I earn will just be taken off my benefits.

I'm not sure if it can be smoked or not, but a cup of green tea has less caffeine than a can of Coke, so not much, maybe 30mg. It wouldn't be worth it, unless you like getting jacked up on caffeine (and then drinking a red bull or two would be better and safer since it gets to your blood stream in <10 minutes that way anyways).

I'd stick to just alcohol if you want an intoxicant while you're on probation. Maybe pick up some salvia extract from a local head shop if you want to get high and a cheap $10 pipe so you don't accidentally resin hit out of your normal pipe and show up with dirty piss (if you use a pipe).

Congrats dude, to celebrate I am going to send you a video of me "in drag" protesting for Transgender rights; a reward you never though you would get. ;)

Uuuuuggghhh FUCK my country. It's been raining and pouring for the best part of spring and summer and right when all the bullshit is about to start again (and summer holiday is over) temperature goes up to 32 bullshit degrees celcius. But not in a nice way mind you, no something nice would be absolutely FUCKING RIDICULOUS apparently. It's hot, humid, damp and there's mosquitoes everywhere.

pretty much describes the climate where i live almost year-round

[¿Que?]

I really want Chinese takeout for lunch but I don't have transportation and there's nowhere close enough to my house for delivery. [Well, there's a pizza place now, so for the first time in my approximately 16 years living here, we can actually get something, but not Chinese and besides, I'm pretty much broke.]
bleh.
I really only have one of those problems, and that is lack of money. In my area, there are just a ton of chinese, Vietnamese, pan-Asian and other really interesting and delicious restaurants. There are a shit ton of Mexican places, too, and for the most part are usually pretty good. A Brazilian restaurant not too far, Cuban food, there even used to be an Argentinian place, but they moved a little further up north.

You gotta move out into the city, my friend.

It is madness where I live.

It's been raining all year long and to make it worse, today and yesterday the winds nearly swept me away and floods everywhere.

At least Ireland's got beautiful countryside whereas I'm stuck with this

THANKS. Now I really want Chinese too. Or even better, Thai! However, I'm suppose to hang out with my friend in about 5 hours and I know he would want to get that.
Now this is going to be the longest 5 hours of my life. Now whatever I eat just won't scratch that itch.

watching episodes of pingu on youtube in the middle of the night and unironically enjoying that shit

noot noot motherfuckers

what am i doing with my life?

[Landsharks eat metal]

Gah, I had a dream last night that I tried to start a gang but I couldn't do normal gang shit so I decided to start one with a bunch of people just going around doing good deeds. Kind of weird, kind of cool

[Pretty Flaco]

shit ive got so much shit to do and so little time for it, it seems. juggling work and school, plus ive got to get my car licensed (im on temporary plates), do 20 hours of community service, start my counseling sessions for my probation, and other random shit. i need to do all of this by the end of the month.

I got drunk for the first time ever about a week ago :D I think it's a good sign that my metabolism is (finally) dropping :)

Try not to come on revleft afterwards. I was drunk the other night when I signed on and I don't remember everywhere I commented but the ones I did find we're fucking ridiculous. Very embarrassing.

I think I should become a vegetarian... I feel like the world's biggest hypocrite because sometimes I feel like crying after seeing a bug I squashed that was annoying the shit out of me but feel nothing eating parts of an animal that did nothing to me.
I never really thought about this though. I don't know if I could make it work.

[Quail]

You could try just cutting down on meat and seeing how it pans out. Perhaps learn to cook a few nice vegetarian dishes and then if your family are awkward about it you could offer to cook for them? I think my family find it a bit awkward to cook for me sometimes (I'm vegan) so I try to do some of the cooking when I go back to visit to make it easier for them.

[Comrades Unite!]

I tried the whole Vegatarian business and its one I could do without, I felt so weak from not eating sexy meat.

Right now I am overworked like a hag that has been dried of her money.

Need to save up a lot to buy a Gibson Les Paul, my back is literally broken from the amount of labor I am putting in.
Fingers are bleeding and my callous has ripped from the huge amount of hours I put into Guitar and how my social life is currently non-existent.
School is coming and my Junior Cert has to be done.
Working hard at our new group and hoping it will do good.
Once again, MY BACK IS FUCKING KILLING ME!
I am sick of the sight of hammers at this stage.

... Oh yeah I got caught smoking the other day and pain was brought to me, I also might add that I am too excited to get my beautiful Gibson Les Paul and I will cherish it as I do my Epiphone Les Paul which I have put countless hours into.

[NewLeft]

I hate it when people ask you why you do a certain thing or wear a certain thing or eat a certain way or talk a certain way..etc. Do I really need a reason..

[NewLeft]

For awhile, I've been finding it hard to communicate/express thoughts into words and it seems to only get worse. I feel like my thinking is getting more choppy, my vocab more limited and my paragraphs more incoherent. Maybe its just anxiety, but I could still improve my communication skills. Its pretty ridiculous having to spend an hour to write 200 words..

Also can I just die in my sleep already.

[Landsharks eat metal]

Why am I sitting here listening to insanely sped up versions of My Chemical Romance songs instead of ANYTHING else??????????????

[Leftsolidarity]

A fucking spider just feel out of my dreads. Freaking out a bit right now...
