9:25 am

- Still pretty sleepy this morning. I will try & tank out before 9 tonight, try to catch up on sleep. Busted ass in the yard for a decent four hours on Sunday. My wife was her usual hard-workin' self. She ran the dethatcher again & tilled up a section of the front yard where we are trying to replace our dying zoysia. She even reseeded the back yard and planted some more hydrangeas on the side of the house! I mowed & set up the sprinklers. Woo. Spent a while with the sprinklers and, of course, it's raining this morning here in Atlanta. What a shock.
The rest of the weekend? Played a little bit of Painkiller, went clothes shopping at Kohl's & took the dog to PetSmart and out for ice cream. Winnie was very well behaved at the store & at the ice cream joint. Wish he would have taken a dump on some annoying Trophy Wife that was there giving us the StinkEye but...
This Week's Lunchtime FunTime Movies:
- Boy, I am not looking forward to going back to the dentist for more periodontal work this Friday. Ugh. So, you won't see me Friday night or Saturday Morning since I'll still be all swole up & hurting. >groan<
Your Opinions Are Welcome Section:
Almost finished reading The Working Poor : Invisible in America by David K. Shipler. I just cannot wrap my mind around some of the people interviewed in this book. I've been down & out before. I have lived on my own and with others below the poverty line. It isn't easy & it isn't fun but it can be done. It really sucks and it will drain the life out of you but it can be done. Some of the people in this book just boggle the mind.
According to this book, 37% of people in the U.S.(!) cannot figure out 10% off the price of an item even WITH a calculator. According to this book, there are a significant number of people that DO NOT GET that in order to hold down a JOB, you need to:
- show up for work & CALL IF YOU CAN'T MAKE IT IN
- shower before coming to work
- if you're a man, be clean shaven
- comb (or otherwise take care of) your hair
- listen to what your boss says
- DO your job
There are even some chapters in here about low income families and the trouble they face bringing up children. These parents just DO NOT GET that:
- babies need to eat vegetables & fruits
- potato chips & soda are not good baby food
- YOU HAVE TO INTERACT WITH YOUR CHILD
- you have to CHANGE the baby's diaper when they "fill" it
- you have to BATHE the child regularly
I have less than no pity for parents who can't buy the child a fucking BOOSTER SEAT & make the baby eat on the floor but they can go out and get a new tattoo "cause we deserve it". Moron parents who can't buy food for the child but have a $90 a month cable tv bill and tons of CDs. Can't give the kid a sandwich for school lunch but the parents have plenty of cigarettes and beer. One parent admitted they DID NOT KNOW HOW TO SCRAMBLE AN EGG for breakfast - a social worker had to show her how.
I could go on & on about how growing up with my mom we didn't have meat that often (I guess it was a good think I loved spaghetti) or how we didn't eat out often but we always had SOMETHING to eat at home. I could go on about how I starved in a trailer in south Georgia but managed to keep the place clean & pay rent by recycling old deposit bottles.
One of my famous sayings is, "You'll have money for what you want." This means don't bitch when you have trouble making rent or paying bills when you blow your money on crap (new fancy clothes, CDs, DVDs, alcohol & other junk). It's hard to have sympathy for someone who goes out clubbing on the weekends & drops $100 on a bar tab when they could spend that money paying bills.
I think what I was TRYING to say in all this is:
- Yes, you need to be presentable at work & WILLING to work. Don't be surprised if no one hires you if you don't want to play by the rules.
- You gotta take care of the NEEDS before the WANTS. Parents should want the best for their kids. "Babies don't know about drivin' a cab in bad weather, they just know they gots to eat."
Anyway, feel free to comment on this if you'd like. Your thoughts are always appreciated. I must be doing something right if people are dropping me off their Friends Lists.

11:10 am - One got wasted and the other's a waste

- Tired & cranky today. Maybe I'm having Symnpathetic PMS for my wife, I dunno. Too much on my mind. Too much stuff to do at home & here at work. Urgg. Want some Cheese to go with that Whine, UnR?
- Damn, what the hell AM I doing this weekend? Need to make a chore list again.
- OK. Here it is. The Mother of All Friday Pics. Not even sure if this will work. Hopefully the idiots at Fotki won't shut down my pics due to this massive bandwidth useage. We'll see...
Again, these are not your typical "UnR Being A Goof" Friday Pics, this is a special NARROWED DOWN selection from my Screen Saver/Desktop Image collection. I've got close to 3,000 images I've collected over the years, maybe a third of which are photos, SOME of them will be displayed here.
Some pictures have stories, some I can't remember more than their title. Some are surreal, some are beautiful and some will intentionally wrench your heartstrings. Feel free to right click & save some of the ones you like.
THIS installment covers Nature and Nature with People & Buildings. Just TOO many pictures to do so you get an installment today!
And with that...

- Damn, Rob Zombie and I looked a lot alike back in 1983! Looks like he bathed more often, too.
Stupid Corporate Bullshit Story of the Day:
- Nabbed some breakfast from the commissary upstairs this morning - eggs, bacon & hashbrowns with a large iced tea. I usually pile in the lemons in my tea because I used to eat them when I was done with my tea. Since I've been to the dentist recently & been cautioned that my tooth enamel is horrid, I stopped doing this as much as I used to. Old habits die hard.
Anyway, I get up to the checkout, the lady rings me up & then comments,
"You know, I should be charging you EXTRA for all those lemon slices you have in your iced tea."
"Excuse me?!?"
"Yes, they had a meeting and decided that you should only get TWO lemon slices with a drink and any over that will now be TEN CENTS A PIECE."
"You've GOT to be kidding me? What moron thought THAT one up?"
Yeah, an extra dime for "excessive lemon wedges". Give me a fucking break.
Today's blackphoenixalchemylab.com Scent:
Today, I smell of... TITUS ANDRONICUS!
"Dark musk and black amber with frankincense, red sandalwood, neroli and bergamot." Not too bad. Very complex scent. I can smell most of the notes in this. Pretty decent.
Laughably huge Friday Pics tomorrow. The Screen Saver/Wallpaper edition. Not too many funny pictures but lots of very pretty ones. May or may not be some "artistic nudity" shots. Just warning you ahead of time. Nothing to "spread cheeky" but possibly some of the Threat To Mankind Women Nipples. See you here tomorrow.

This Comes as a Shock to No One Dept.:
- Man, it really dawned on me this morning that my wife & I's Fifth Wedding Anniversary is coming up this year. Can't believe its been almost five years. I feel like it's been maybe TWO at most. Easy Win from Things To Do In Denver When You're Dead said it best with, "Remember when you was a kid and you would spend the whole year waiting for summer vacation and when it finally came it would fly by just like that? It's funny, Jimmy, life has a way of flying by faster than any old summer vacation; it really fucking does..."
I am trying to think where we could go for our Anniversary. I know my wife would love to go someplace with a beach & down margaritas while I romp in the surf all day. I'm thinking someplace in the Carribean...
You got any recommendations? Some place nice - St. Maarten? Tortuga? Nevis? Aruba? Probably spend a good five to seven days there. NICE goddamn hotel or B&B; - no rundown Greazy Hector's Shack Rentals type place. Nice beach, good food, strong drinks & a BIG goddamn bed!
Let me know. Your opinion is always valued here at Cap'n CrankyDead's Scuba Diving Charters & Boat Rentals!!!
Today's blackphoenixalchemylab.com Scent:
Today I reek of... ARKHAM!
"A scent seething with the perverse splendor of complete and utter madness. High-pitched, yet dark… subdued and deep, but tingling with frenzy: juniper, nutmeg and black cypress shocked by verbena and lavender.'
I don't think I put enough of this on. Smells very faint on me. It does smell nice & clean, though. Not too bad!
The Friday Pics for this Friday WILL be my Desktop Images/Screen Saver Selctions. I promise well over a HUNDRED pictures, so you may want to click on the cut, go out for dinner & drinks & THEN check it out. Just warning you in advance...
Preview shot for you: Speck & Nyx (two of our kitties) watching that Video Catnip tape and wanting to get the TV. Get that blue jay, Nyx!!
Happy Birthday to my statuesque buddy, ![[info]](http://library.vu.edu.pk/cgi-bin/nph-proxy.cgi/000100A/http/web.archive.org/web/20040428105844im_/http:/=2fstat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) skiadaimonos. I'll raise a glass of Calvados or Eau de Vie to your health, babe!
- OK, enough from me. Just want to say, "Thanks, Hon!", to my wife for a really good dinner last night. We got some amazing pork chops & grilled 'em up with some Tennessee Whiskey sauce from Sticky Fingers. Some green beans & almonds, fresh baked croissants & a beer sealed the deal for a great meal. (Damn, sorry about that rhyming thing)
Have a good Wednesday, people. Thanks for all of your comments & advice on my entry about my yard.

Idiot Court Case of the day:
Mom sues Coors over son's death in accident
Suit also names girlfriend and her mother
Sunday, April 18, 2004 Posted: 10:35 AM EDT (1435 GMT)
RENO, Nevada (AP) -- The mother of a 19-year-old killed in a traffic accident is suing Coors Brewing Co., claiming that it promotes underage drinking.
Jodie Pisco, of Reno, contends Coors has failed in its duty to protect the country's youth from drinking. Her son, Ryan, was killed in 2002 after he drank Coors at a party and drove his girlfriend's car into a light pole at 90 mph, the lawsuit says.
The lawsuit, filed Wednesday in Washoe County District Court, seeks unspecified damages. It accused Coors of "glorifying a culture of youth, sex and glamour while hiding the dangers of alcohol abuse and addiction."
http://www.cnn.com/2004/LAW/04/18/coors.suit.ap/index.html
Today's blackphoenixalchemylab.com Scent:
I smell like ... MAD HATTER today. "A gentlemen's lavender-citron cologne unhinged by the feral pungence of black musk and a paroxysm of pennyroyal."
Not sure how I feel about this one. My wife says it's "too sweet for you". I think she may be right.
The weekend ripped by in a haze. Where the hell is this "Leisure Time" I keep hearing about? Things I remember doing:
- Saw Hellboy AGAIN Saturday night. Even dragged my wife to go see it, too. I've said it before: this is a great Meatball Cinema type movie. Can't wait to pick it up on DVD.
- Got seriously fucked up the ass playing some on-line poker. Damn, I think my worst hand was holding on to a nut flush and getting screwed by some idiot who rivered me with a @#$!ing full house. Christ... I need to get back in the little fish ponds & build my bankroll back up. Crap!!
- Five hours of yard work can really kick your ass. Very happy my wife helped me out. She ran the little dethatcher tiller and did a ton of other stuff, too. It is truly wonderful to see her happy & wanting to help out again. Thank you, Wellbutrin.
- Uhhhh... What was that euphamism I used? Oh yeah... "My wife & I planted some serious periwinkles this weekend." Tried some new... uhhh, "planting techniques" and the results were wonderful. Heh.
- Ate Saturday dinner at Circle Sushi. Had me some shumai & their wonderful Peach Oolong tea. Even had the green tea ice cream shake for dessert. Dee-lish!
- I've been drinking a HELL of a lot more water lately. Those who know me know that I can drink a staggering amount of water but I must have been a gallon or two low this weekend. Jeez...
- HMV at Lenox Square was closing so ALL their merchandise was 40%-60% off.
I Gotta Be Me HMV Shopping List:
- Best of Clannad
- Classical Passion - Music for Classic Lovers
- Chrome, Smoke & BBQ - The ZZ Top Box Set
- Return of The Living Dead
- Drive In 2-Fer: Fade to Black & Hell Night
All this for under $60. Good deal. Also attended my Perry Ellis show. Picked up two CASUAL shirts (black, of course) on sale & got some funky Perry Ellis gift bag. 'Ey, free loot is free loot, y'know?
Only of Interest to creepy1966 and Those Who Want To See Our Yard For Some Reason section:
'Ey, creepy1966! I finally took some shots of our yards this weekend after busting ass on them for five hours. Here is a link to the photo album. I'll put some comments on each picture, too. Any recommendations or advice you can give is greatly appreciated!

- OK, I uploaded the REVISED group of photos for my UnR's Screen Saver Friday Pics. Turns out there's close to TWO HUNDRED of them... and this is the REVISED LIST!
I have about 3,000 images in my Desktop Images/Screen Saver collection here at work. Some are fine art, some are crappy punk album covers, some are cartoons, some are teeth-rotting cute cat pictures, some are 3D renderings, some are Photoshop work, some are even "just regular photos". Be happy I was able to narrow down a good 700+ "just photos" down to about 200. Hell, I should do a Fine Art Friday Pics!
ANYWAY, how do you want me to do this? A two part show? A three part show? One big, juicy, meaty, "fuck you if you're still on dial-up" extravaganza? Let me know.
The beasts are in their cages and they want out!
To tide you over, here's a shot of me on our honeymoon in Cancun... Jimi Hendrix t-shirt and palm trees. Put the idiot in Paradise & he STILL wears all black!

8:56 am - Crankier than Usual

- Leaving work last night at quarter 'til eight does not make me happy. Pardon my grumpiness. I'll be better by tonight. Got home close to 9. Went straight into the tub, ate a PBJ & passed out. Wooo - fun.
So, since I DID have to work so @#$!ing LATE last night, I didn't get around to uploading pictures for The Friday Pics. Yes, I WILL get to it but it will be later today, not this morning. Sorry.
- I'm wearing... a POLO SHIRT today!! Shocking, isn't it? Of course, it's an online poker shirt I got for free - I don't OWN any polo shirts anymore. All I wear is dress shirts to work. Maybe I need to check out some firearms sites & get some. Wonder if Suicidal Tendencies has a nice polo shirt for sale?
Infant-size Henry Rollins "Search & Destroy" t-shirts!!
Today's blackphoenixalchemylab.com Scent:
Today, I reek of.... DAMNATION!! "The incense of a black mass, the perfume of perdition: White sandalwood, cedar, frankincense and swarthy vetiver."
Very woody. I think this has been the best one yet of these few I've tried. You can quote me on this one, "I reek of Damnation and am glad of it!"
I smell really good today & no one will notice, except maybe my wife.
- Not much else to report. Still burnt from working late last night & getting little sleep this week. Weekend looks to be very busy. I REALLY need to have some fun some time this weekend; I could use some good times.
Best to you & yours,
Hopefully you will be doing, as the mighty Tom Waits sings, "driving dangerous curves across the dirty sheets",

- Whoa, new Skinny Puppy album comes out next month. Bitchin'! Supposed to go on a supporting tour as well. I think they already confirmed a date in Chicago for June. Hard to believe their "last" album came out eight years ago...
- Debating about doing a Friday Pics that is a small collection of images from my screen saver I have here at work. Might not be too many FUNNY images & captions but I do have some really pretty landscapes & such. I dunno - not feeling too funny lately. Leave a comment if you'd be interested in such a Friday Pics or not. I promise not to post too many pictures like this. <----- ***NOT EVEN VAGUELY "WORK SAFE"!***
Today's blackphoenixalchemylab.com Scent:
Today I smell like... IAGO: "Malevolent, dark and shadowy: sinuous black musk, wet leather and vetiver."
I think I mainly smell the musk & a bit of the leather. I usually smell like vetiver but I can't detect it in what I'm wearing today.

What High Quality items are you into?
This can include: shoes, perfumes, underwear, make-up, books, movies, music, etc. Whatever "things" that you are into that you really prefer the finer items.

More Stupid Questions for UnR Section:
- Someone e-mailed me and asked what is on my little MP3 player I listen to while I'm riding the train to & from work. Not really sure WHY anyone would give a shit about the lousy music I listen but... Here's my list. My music tastes, in one word, is SCHIZOIDAL. Not too many songs since my MP3 player is only 256 Megs!
( boring list of this month's MP3s here )
My wife has told me I can't post anymore about the torrid, Grade A quality sex we've been having or she'll start posting "intimate, embarassing details about you". So, I'll have to come up with a good euphamism for nookie. I dunno, "My Wife & I planted some periwinkles last night" or something.
Yes, she has PLENTY of "intimate, embarassing details" about me. Eeeep.

9:06 am - Moving from "resigned" to "resentful"...
|
- Had some beautiful rainstorms in Atlanta last night. Wonderful way to fall asleep. Especially after having some seriously wonderful, "going from Languorous to Hot Pig Sex over the span of forty minutes" type sex. Every man should hear thunder when he ejaculates...
All in all, a wonderful evening. Of course, I didn't have as much fun as some people peeing in a sink or letting my testicles hang out of my shorts but I still had a wonderful evening.
- Fuck, I'm getting tired of work. I really don't think I'm going to stay being a Design Lead when I hit FORTY. Just... doesn't look like it's gonna happen. Getting tired of working in a basement for no money & no advancement. No one else is gonna do it for me so I'll have to get off my ass & do it for myself.

- OK, enough of this. I'm getting tired of a few people either never reading my Journal or reading it & never commenting AND never responding to my comments on their Journal. I realize we all post irreguardless of how many comments we receive but I am getting really tired of commenting on a few people's Journals and never getting a response. Sorry if you think me asking someone out for a drink might be seen as me hitting on you. I understand that - that would make anyone feel uncomfortable. However, I ask most EVERYONE to go out for drinks. I'd rather meet people face to face as opposed to this typing on a keyboard crap. Hell, I've gone out drinking with my buddy scottopic when he comes to town but I don't want to fuck HIM (Sorry to have to admit this in public, Scott.).
So, having said the above, I'm getting ready to drop a few people from my Friends list. I have more important things to contend with in my life than your bullshit. You know who you are. On second thought, you're probably not even reading this anyway. Have a nice life.

Package One from Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs. I ordered some cologne/perfume samples a few weeks ago due to a post from lorigami. I think I ordered a total of 12 sampler bottles from Black Phoenix Alchemy Labs. Well, the company was quite back logged and they FINALLY got here yesterday. kebechet, owner & operator of the place enclosed more than a FEW extra sampler bottles — I ordered 12 & I got WELL over 16. Very good stuff. I will have to get out my "nasal sorbet" and have a "tasting party" to check out all this good smelling stuff! Thanks much, Mrs. kebechet!

Package Two was from zerogenius. Got my RayBans I ordered as well as a bonus Monster Garage t-shirt and some original art, too! Very cool. Thanks big time, Travis.
- Stumbled upon a Polish Offspring fan site yesterday. It's always pretty weird to see really hardcore American music fans in other countries. I mean, it's a GOOD THING but kinda odd to see a Polish Offspring site. If they HAD almost every damn Offspring song plus bootlegs MP3'd, I SURELY wouldn't put a link to the site because that would be WRONG.
- OK, enough from me. Too much to do & BIG V.I.P.s showing up today for a congratulatory lunch for one of my nationwide projects I handled. Like VP's of the entire company type V.I.P.s! Eeeep.
Take Care...
Today was really tiring.
I got out of bed really late because my alarm clock has broken and I cannot afford a new one at the moment.
I feel a bit strange because we've just moved to Idaho and there's a weird smell in the house.
I'm so hardcore. Me and Buzz went to the mall today, and I stole a whole heap of stuff. I got a Good Charlotte CD, a couple of DVDs and some new boots. Buzz got caught, but he fought his way out, and then we stole some lady's car and smashed it into a phone booth.
Last night I had to masturbate twenty times. I'm so horny. Click here to see my website.
I want to tell the world to get fucked.
I am sharpening my knives before I go to work today, because I'm going to cut out Robert's heart and feed it to him for losing my mail.
Today, I got a digital camera! Yes! Here's some photos of my cock.
I want to say thanks to the world for absolutely fucking nothing! You all suck. I feel so alone, no one ever reads this journal, or even comments to let me know that I'm not suffering alone. It's cold here, and I want to die, but I cannot figure out how many of you to take with me when I go.
I went to the doctor yesterday, and he said I have bipolar disorder, and should stop smoking drugs.
You should all do this quiz! It's amazingly accurate. You just put in your name and birthday, and it will tell you you're a moron.
That's enough for now. But I'll leave you with this thought - sharing your life with strangers on the internet is the cheapest form of therapy available. Leave a comment and tell me I'm beautiful.

- Did more yard work yesterday. Busted my ass something fierce completely ripping up our back yard. That littleHonda rototiller is one pissed off little machine! I am quite sore from running that thing! Went to Pike and scored some more very cool plants. Think we got another spirea, a burning bush & I GOT MY BLACKBERRY VINES! Another 10 bags of cypress mulch gone, too.
- Up & Down at PartyPoker.com. I was up to $270 & now I'm back down under $200. Who the fuck stays in with a fucking 2,7 offsuit until the river and manages to snag a straight?!? Jeezus...
- Needed to get "a few things" at Publix turned into a $300 Grocery Run. Just... damn. $300 on GROCERIES!?!? I think I'm still in shock over this.
- Speaking of laying out some money, I think my wife & I need to make another Wine Run to Beverage Warehouse. They give you 10% off if you buy a case!
- Saw Hellboy Saturday night. Fuck, when did movie tickets hit $8.25?!? Jeezus... Pretty weird - The Saturday night of the film's opening weekend and there was only 20-25 other people in the theater besides me. I guess its the area I live in.
I give Hellboy FIVE STARS on my Cheesesteak Cinema Scale. If you want to hear my reasons, I'll list them behind the cut. There are some "spoilers" behind the cut. No, I don't give away that Darth Vader is actually Luke's father but I do mention a few small things from the film. They won't ruin the movie for you but, nonetheless, I've cut them anyway.
( Points given to Hellboy for... )
- OK, I'd go into more detail about my weekend but I gotta jet to go to a Macintosh Workshop. Fucking font management crap!!
Take Care....

I'm awake up, got my boonie hat on, got a cold Coke... deal me in, mofo, let's play some poker!

- Weekend already?!? Damn, I gotta go to the dentist today. Haven't been in years. Still have horror nightmares from when I got my braces ripped out when I was 12. Since I like coffee, red wine, tobacco, and any other teeth staining substance, my teeth have NEVER been white. Just concerned that the dentist will try to talk me into getting my choppers whitened... ugh.
Too much to do. Gotta do some food shopping, my wonderful wife has a hair appointment at Lenox Square, *I* need to get my hair cut, gotta go see Hellboy Saturday night... buncha other stuff. Yeesh... Must find time to get some online poker playing in & play some Pandora Tomorrow. And yard work and shopping for the cats & dog and ....

11:44 am - Whoo - Exciting
|
- Getting pretty sad here. Last night's exciting highlights included:
- Some how "wound up" at a Eastern European deli WAY down on Holcomb Bridge road. For $2, I bought some Monastyrsky Kvass, Mother Russia's famed God-Awful Beverage & a russian chocolate bar. The chocolate wan't bad, but it damn well wasn't as good as Chocolove's stuff. The kvass was... hideous doesn't really describe it fully. Got me, it was "purty nigh putrid".
- Almost hit the $200 mark in winnings on PartyPoker.com. Then, I started falling asleep in my chair and loss a little.
- Passed out while watching Cops.
Whoo - fun. Damn, am I exciting on a Saturday night or what?!?
Well, since we busted our asses all day yesterday, I will take it easy today & watch a good part of the Most Extreme Elimination Challenege on Spike TV this afternoon. Maybe get me a Jersey Mike's Sub for dinner. Hmmm....
You Have All My Faith,

- Tired. Busted ass on the lawn with my wonderful wife. Thanks to her new Rx of Wellbutrin, she kicked my ass working on the yard. Damn well LAPPED me out there! Put in more plants, destroyed some diseased group of Ugly Tree Things. Planted some red honeysuckled by the mailbox & some wisteria by the corpses of the Ugly Tree Things.
Covered in dirt, clay, cypress mulch & my own sweat n' filth. I am stinky & need a shower. Didn't take one this morning in preparation for getting filthy.
Went to libidoergosum's 2nd Going Away Party. Saw women who needed more clothing being led around by dog leashes, a smartly dressed man in a $5 suit & a Boy Scout refusing drugs. Not too bad - we can do better. Thrilled I avoided seeing thegreyman's penis again. I still have this dimming vision problem from that sight at the previous Going Away Party.
Words of Advice for Young Alterna-Chicks:
Don't dye your hair jet black, wear big black boots & mope around a party & then have the nerve to complain that the Ministry Greatest Fits CD on the stereo is being played "too loud". Fuck, you ought to be made to wear pink gingham & forced to dye your hair BLONDE for behavior like that. If I'm 35 and don't think the music is LOUD ENOUGH, you shouldn't complain that the stereo is only half way up. Jeezus...
Love Ministry or buy a friggin' Ani DiFranco CD & stop shaving.
Won $60 in thirty minutes playing poker this morning on PartyPoker.com. Gotta love it. Wish I could make a career out of this addiction hobby.
Will change clothes & maybe bathe before heading out to some hole in the wall Mexican joint for a late lunch. Need to keep moving or I will pass out.
Buena Fortuna, Folks.

I'm in a I Wanna Kiss & Hug on My Wife mood so I am doing something I only do in a RARE once in a while, posting an unedited picture of myself & my wife.
Love you, Hon. You are the best.
“Look at her. I would kill for her. I would die for her. Either way—what bliss!” - Gomez Addams
In learning this path, it is only important to walk on the real ground, to act on the basis of reality. The slightest phoniness, and you fall into the realm of demons.
-Liao-an
Miscellaneous Debris:
- Shit, I forgot to put on my WATCH today! What the hell??
- I wish *I* thought up banning genital piercings for women back in college. Getting chicks who think they are "protesting" by sending me pictures of their pierced labia sounds like a good scam!
- The names of the three monkeys are Mizaru (see no evil), Kikazaru (hear no evil), and Iwazaru (speak no evil).
Beefcake for My Wife Section:
- There are days that I truly miss being an 20-year old punker asshole. Being able to say exactly what is on your mind was truly liberating. Now days, I have to watch everything I say so it doesn't get taken the wrong way or hurt someone's feeling. Being reminded almost DAILY here at work that I am inherently evil because I am a 35-year old white male gets a little annoying. Yeah, I know Whine, Whine but that's how I feel.
Today's Case in Point: It's just Common Fucking Courtesy when an elevator gets off at your floor to LET THE PEOPLE GET OFF THE ELEVATOR FIRST before you get on. Elevator got off at my floor & I started to get off. A young woman intentionally walked INTO me as I was getting off.
"What?! You didn't SEE me getting on the elevator or you just didn't want to get out of a black woman's way, is that it?!?"
I could think of an easy half dozen barbed replies to this but none of them would allow me to keep my job. It feels almost emasculating that I can't reply to unfortunate incidents like this at work the way I would if I was on my "own" time. I just let my reply go at "You must be in a real hurry today. It's lucky you didn't get knocked down running into me like that." The woman looked pretty pissed and couldn't get out a reply before the elevator took off again.
That stuff REALLY fucking infuriates me. I don't know how a simple encounter like that gets blown into some sort of racial transgression all of a sudden. It's fucking bullshit if you ask me. Unecessary drama.
Just... damn.
- While I am being chracteristically un-PC, I have an honest, not-meaning-to-offend question about gay men. I am a Flaming Heterosexual Male almost laughably so. I have no problem with gay men whatsoever. I think being gay is such a non-issue that it doesn't merit discussion. If you're gay, then be gay & to hell without anyone who has a problem with that. That's it - there IS nothing to this issue.
I don't understand ... how some gay men are more...eeee, how do I say this?... "Nancy" than others. We have a janitor custodial engineer here is ... dare I say... almost cartoonishly gay. I mean, if an asshole straight male parodied gay men to the laughably stereotypical extent that this gay man behaves on a daily basis, the straight man would be crucified upside-down. This janitor walks with such an exaggerated "swish" that it just seems ridiculous to me. His speech pattern has such a catoony "lisp" to it that it just seems like he is camping it up for amusement factor.
So, yeah, my question is why are some gay men more "nancy" than others? What factors cause some gay men to act this way and most others do not?
Again, I know this is coming off pretty fucked up. It's not my intent to start a "bash the idiot straight male (me)" flame war with this line of questioning. If people are really offended at this question, I'll privatize the entry. I would consider deleting this section all together, but I'm in a pissed off mood & unwilling to compromise my thoughts today - sorry, but The Captain has turned on his Don't Fuck With Me Today sign.
- Damn, is libidoergosum's party TONIGHT?!? Yow, that got here fast. Hopefully, thegreyman can keep his clothes on tonight... Maybe christine9600 oughta LEASH him or something. I think I need to pick up a mini bottle of bourbon for tonight - don't feel like drinking any beer.
- If I had my way, I'd be back at home with my wife & animals, wearing my Boonie Hat & playing on-line poker or Wizardry 8. I am jonesing to play some poker today... Seriously. Rrrrrg.
- OK, enough from me. Got to get working. Too much to do this weekend - par for the course. I think I was going to roto-till the back yard, pick up ten bags of cypress mulch at Pike, do some grocery shopping, spend time working on my Flying Tiger plane model and some other errands. ANyone have some spare time they're not using? Oh yeah, I think I wanted to take my wife out for sushi again.
Best to all, have a good weekend, Folks!
