Mood - entertained
Today's Song - Led Zepplin - Rock And Roll

The web - comic Shortpacked has started their own little shpeil... shpeel... ah, who cares how it's spelled... in any case, they have started a little storyline dealing with the whole Jack Thompson crap. There have only been two comics on it (starting with this one) so it shouldn't be hard for you to start on it. Just thought I'd share because I've found it to be humorous.

"It's been a long time since I rock and rolled.
It's been a long time since I did the stroll.
Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back, let me get it back.
Baby, where I come from; it's been a long time, been a long time,
been a long, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely time. Yes it has."

Mood - enjoying life in Rancho Cordova (oh, that's not really a mood is it?)
Today's Song - Paul Oakenfold - Starry Eyed Surprise

Ok, so I'm driving down 24th Street this morning and I happen to catch a glimpse of one of those cardboard signs people put on street light poles. Now it wouldn't have been much and I would have ignored it if it hadn't been for the very strange words written on this sign. That's right, it read, "Divorce Sale." Now don't get me wrong, I have nothing against sales of any kind. It's just I would hate to go browsing on this person's lawn. Reason? I have four; one for each situation that I could encounter:

(1) Ex - Husband Who Initiated Divorce Conducting Sale

Me - Hi there, can you help me sir?
Ex H - Sure! And if you're looking for anything for the lady, I swiped some langerie on my way out the door.
Me - What was that?
Ex H - Nothing, nothing. *pause* You looking for any jewelry? I got some really nice pieces from the ex's purse.

(2) Ex - Husband Whose Wife Initiated Divorce Conducting Sale

Me - Hi there, can you help me sir?
Ex H - NO, I CAN'T!!! CAN'T YOU SEE I'M GRIEVING??!?!
Me - Uh, yeah... I can now.
Ex H - JUST TAKE SOMETHING AND GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE!! OH, MARSHA!! WHY?! WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME??!?!
Me - Yeeeeaaaaahhhh... I'll be leaving now.

(3) Ex - Wife Who Initiated Divorce Conducting Sale

Me - Hi there, can you help me ma'am?
Ex W - Sure. Are you looking for any electronics? I got a bunch of useless junk from that no good, son of a bitch, donkey shit eating, pusbucket, pussy boy who dared call himself a man.
Me - WHAT?!
Ex W - Oh, I'm sorry. I was just letting off steam. Now where were we?
Me - I was leaving.

(4) Ex - Wife Whose Husband Initiated Divorce Conducting Sale

Me - Hi there, can you help me ma'am?
Ex W - Sure. Are you looking for any electronics? I got a bunch of useless junk...
(I'm pretty sure we've already been over this, just add some crying here and there.)

EDIT (9:33 AM) - Oh, and because for some stupid reason MySpace isn't opening up on this computer, here's this little funny tidbit:



"Once again, I find myself with my friends;
dancing the night away, it's like the party never ends.
Then again we don’t want it to stop,
'cause tonight's the night; it goes sweatbox,
laser beams, flashing lights, wild cards,
Men from Mars dressed in Stars and stripes.
Eclectic electric; ladies of the evening
drinking booze and mingling,
mashing to the music. I can do anything.
Freaky, dicky star speckles and pink butterflies
and life is nice, so nice.
I walk into a club and I’ve found paradise.
I’m seeing stars, I can’t believe my eyes."

Mood - amused

You be the judge.

Mood - no idea, I'm just me
Today's Song - Kylie Minogue - Can't Get You Out Of My Head

I'm sure someone is glad I didn't post all the la - la - las that she sings. But that's not the point today.

First off, today's title has two meanings. First off, Peter commented on my last post to update my blog. I really don't understand people anymore. You won't comment on the post itself but you'll use the comments to badger me into posting? What the crap? In any case, here I am posting.

Second off, I've actually started watching the show Firefly at my cousin's house. It's pretty good; I like the combination of the Western, Asian, and space genres. Very well done I have to say. With me, I'm not to big on other space stories (other meaning other than the two big ones, ie: Star Wars and Star Trek). But this is not your typical space story. Most ideas that people come up with now that take place in space usually either stay there in space or the planets that the characters visit are very barren and uncivilized. But Firefly has all the planets and terrains that people visit set up in a modern fashion. Even some of the technology used is modern (ie: revolvers and shotguns instead of all laser guns), which really gives for a very westerny, cowboys and indians feel to the action. I like it and I'm sticking to it.

"I just can't get you out of my head.
Boy, your loving is all I think about.
I just can't get you out of my head.
Boy, it's more than I dare to think about."

The following is the postings of "Gabe" from the web - comic, Penny Arcade

You may have seen Jack’s proposal mentioned on various news sites. He’s offering 10 grand to charity if a game developer makes a game based on his insane proposal.

So I got his email address and I went ahead and sent Jack a note this morning:

10 grand is pretty weak man. Through our charity www.childsplaycharity.org gamers have given over half a million dollars in toys and cash to children’s hospitals all over the country.

I’ll let you know if he responds.

The fact is when we kick off Child’s Play 2005 on November 1st we’ll be going global. We’ll be delivering videogames and toys to children’s hospitals all over the world now. I don’t think there’s any better response to Jack’s insane ramblings than that. Maybe Jack would like to donate his 10 grand to Child’s Play, that could buy a lot of Game Boys.

My email sig had my phone number in it. Jack actually just called and screamed at me for a couple minutes. He said if I email him again I will "regret it". What a violent man.

-Gabe out


Dear lord, what idiots there are in this world. I just love how right Gabe is and yet how blind Mr. Thompson is. May he burn in hell... I mean, may his soul rest in *cough cough* Sorry, I couldn't complete that sentence on account of my brain won't let me.

...but this is too important to just put on MySpace where no one seems to care what I do.

Mood - tired and unhappy
Today's Song - Hoobastank - The Reason

So we moved to the new house this weekend... and I didn't. Yeah, here's the dealie. My car decided last Thursday was the perfect time to break down. This meant I had no transportation. So I wanted to get it fixed except I don't have enough money yet for how much it's projected to cost. This means I'll be at my cousin's house for a while. Oh yeah, did I mention I'm living out of my cousin's house now? Yeah, this is what I get because I have no car. I have to stay out here in Southgate so that I'm close to work and school. I'm not a happy person... and then to throw on top of that the lack of sleep since I had to get up early this morning.

Other than that, I'm fine... well, sort of. I also didn't get to organize my room in the new house since I was busy trying to do something with my car yesterday. Of all my rotten luck, the stupid starter is like buried inside the hood and is almost impossible to reach. Did I forget to mention it was the starter? Shut up, I'm tired. :P Anyway, yeah so I have a bunch of boxes lying around my room in the new house. Yippee.

And the final piece of news is actually good news: my mother is fine. I know I only told Glen about this but my mother had to go in for surgery this morning. I just called my father and he told me that the tumor they found on her ovary wasn't cancerous, just a fibroid tumor. Those are apparently very common and they don't even have to take it out. So she comes home today and it's all good.

I'm tired. I seriously do not want to do this again. My father brought a bunch of clothes over last night so that would have changes of clothes for while I'm staying at Nathan's. He was also supposed to bring my backpack but he forgot. So I had to get up an hour earlier than usual to tag along with my uncle as he dropped off my cousin Renee at school and my aunt at work before going to the new house to get my backpack. I know Glen, you were still up before me but my body isn't used to getting poor sleep no matter how long I have had a poor sleeping habit. Well, I digress. So I'll leave you with the quote of the week and say, adieu.

"I'm not a perfect person.
There's many thing I wish I didn't do.
But I continue learning;
I never meant to do those things to you.
And so I have to say before I go
that I just want you to know...

I've found a reason for m;
to change who I used to be.
A reason to start over new
and the reason is you."
