Time:1:01 pm.
I love how I don't age.

I just had to have lunch with the company's customers at the Embassy Suites (meet, greet, schmooze crap) and the ladies I sat with starting look at me like I was lying when I told them I was the Manager of the Documentation group. Since I saw the disbelief in their eyes and I knew it was once again because I look so young, I had to make a joke of it and say "I know what you're thinking, is this guy really old enough to be managing a group..." to which I got the reply "Yes, you look like you're just out of high school..." in her Texas twang.

I suppose I should be grateful and I suppose in 10 years I will be, but goddamn, this youthful look thing is becoming as much a curse as a blessing. What do I have to do...grow a beard? Dye my hair grey?!

Subject:Nip/Tuck put things in such perspective
Time:11:45 am.
Music:Eyes Without a Face-Billy Idol.
I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream could bring a fall
When I'm far from home
Don't call me on the phone
To tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.

When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip.
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool.
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip.
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.
Say your prayers.

Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new
But it's gone from your eyes
I'd better realise

Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage eyes without a face
Got no human grace your eyes without a face.
Such a human waste your eyes without a face
And now it's getting worse.

Music:Why Can't I Touch It-Buzzcocks-Singles Going Steady.
Well it seems so real I can see it
And it seems so real I can feel it
And it seems so real I can taste it
And it seems so real I can hear it
So why can’t I touch it?
So why can’t I touch it?

Then it looks so real I can see it
And it feels so real I can feel it
And it tastes so real I can taste it
And it sounds so real I can hear it
So why can’t I touch it?
So why can’t I touch it?

Then it looks so real I can feel it
And it feels so real I can taste it
And it tastes so real I can hear it
And it sounds so real I can see it
So why can’t I touch it?
So why can’t I touch it?

Now it is so real I can see it
And it is so real I can feel it
And it is so real I can hear it
And it is so real I can be it
So why can’t I touch it?
So why can’t I touch it?

Subject:In response to someone who pasted "Jesus Christ - Name Above All Names" all over their car...
Time:11:17 am.
Talk about not trusting yourself to be in charge of anything. This person has such a low image of themselves that they submit their entire being to some dude who died millennia ago and has hence been distorted to be some sort of "god". Oh wait, I guess some people do view him as a god. Dude, get over it. Mankind has created god since he has had a need to explain the apparent "inexplicable" and Jesus Christ and his whole Judaic previous folklore was not the first "theory" of god. Who is to say Jesus is the best god of the gods of other religions? Who is to say that any of the world's multiple gods is the "right" god? I say "fuck all" to them all in fundamental interpretation. If a person wants to extract some moral or personal value from the teachings of these religions to guide their own personal behavior for the better, great. But to singlehandedly give over to some god dude just because a religion tells you so is just sheer madness and completely illogical. But who said religion was logical? To suspend reality is "faith" and that is "good" in the eyes of the believers.

No thanks!

You Are 19 Years Old



19





Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe.

13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world.

20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences.

30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more!

40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

Subject:Ha, I'm funny.
Time:1:31 pm.
In response to why there are more Liberals in LJ communities than Conservatives and there's only a fraction labeled as "Moderates":

"Yeah if Repubs won the election, why do they have such a low count of communities in comparison to Liberals?

Maybe because Repubs are illiterate red-state welfare sucking retards without computers (or intelligence to even use one) who take our hard working blue-state "city-money" and use it on supporing their local born-again crusade or super-size lawn mower."

Maybe it's a cheap shot, but I am still bitter over the election....

Subject:My response to Wal-Mart
Time:10:16 am.
In response to this Wal-Mart's CEO on Offensive Against Critics

I sent this to their feedback page:


I've written you before about leaving us in California out of your superstore plans. We have a culture that is pro-union and pro-supermarket which all would be undone if your superstores came to our cities and towns. What is so wrong in giving someone a "living" wage for a job well done? What is so wrong in allowing some individuals who maybe choose not to get a college education, to have a job they can support their family on? A job at Vons or Ralph's provides that, but a job at Wal-Mart does not.

Don't you make enough money already? Doesn't the Walton family (each individual child) have more than enough money than they can ever spend? Why do you need to disassemble the very way life is lived by hundreds of thousands of working individuals by coming in and undercutting prices aimed at putting the competition out of business?

I don't want you. I haven't shopped at a Wal-Mart in years because of your predatory practices and I will continue not to. Stop strong-arming mom and pops and smaller companies out of business because you "can". Just because you can, doesn't make it right.

Let your workers unionize; let them have representation in numbers that will give them the bargaining power to assure they have the benefits that current supermarket employees receive. Maybe if you let that happen instead of fighting it with legal action at every turn, public perception would change and you could drop your ludicrous walmartfacts.com crusade. Instead of feeding us advertising and marketing slogans and campaigns, why don't you just fix the real problems so that you don't need to do damage control like you are attempting.

Pay people a "living" wage and not a "market' wage, (which is easily undercut by recent immigrants or retirees or teenage students) so that the allegations of "encouraging employees to use public benefits" are truly false instead of a one line slogan that claims you don't do it while there are facts that back up you have. Provide benefits that deter use of public benefits so that I am 100% certain that my tax money isn't going to your employees in MediCal or other public assistance programs that were designed for the truly needy, not your employees.

If you want to change public opinion, your actions speak louder than words, not your bullshit rhetoric you fucking assholes.

Still a sincere "Fuck You",

Subject:Lakes a'forming.
Time:3:51 pm.
Mood:amazed.
Music:Africa-Toto-IV.
As I walk out to my car at lunch, a guy I work with walks by and says "Your car is almost underwater."

I am like "Oh yeah, cool buddy" in a dismissing kind of way...until I see it. A lake has formed all around the four wheels, the water level has hit the bottom of the car, it is almost in the tailpipe and nearing door level.

No way to get inside without getting almost knee high in water, no fricking way. I grit my teeth, roll up my pants and unlock the door with the remote before I step into the brown water.

6 or so long steps and I am able to step inside, wet to nearly the knee...shut the door and hope everything is in running order. Turn of the key, on she turns. As I back out, the car submerges into the water, but I am quickly backed up and out of it.

That was 4 hours ago and there were other cars nearby...if those folks didn't bother to go to lunch, I would hate to think of the swim they face.

My feet are nearly dry after sitting here soaked to the skin...this is so not So Cal weather.
