Lady–Conclusion

it is amazing just how fragile we really are.

one never stops to think about just how easy it is for a single life to be snatched away, or how much that single life may mean to one or many many people.

the only time we really stop to think about it is when it happens to someone who we could not think it could happen to.

Annie, I shall miss you far more than you could ever know

Lady

Why can I not ever have a good day?

Everything looked good when i went to bed this morning. then someone comes knocking on the door saying that annie (my step-sister) has been in some horrible car accident, that she is at the hospital, that she is not awake, nor has she been since she got there.

needless to say, i have spent the last 4 or 5 hours at a hospital hoping that my sister does not die.

if i wind up making myself scarce for the next couple of weeks, that would be why.

Annie, we are all praying for you, get better, we demand it!

Music: Another One Bites The Dust ~ Queen
So I was thinking about my hatred of internet explorer (due mostly to the fact that I am on my mom's computer, and she has, for some totally unfathomable reason, uninstalled Firefox. For the THIRD TIME!), and I thought about doing an entry about just how much I hated it.
I then realized that there's not enough time in the day to do something of that magnitude.
So, I invite all of you who don't read this to go leave comments pertaining to your hatred of this evil browser as well.
Internet Explorer, Oh how much I hate thee...
Let me count the ways...
1. unsafe
2. evil
3. tabless
4. pop-ups in abundance
5. microsoft
6. too large to be of any use
and from here I leave this into your more than capble hands

We’ll Free Them From Their Condos

ah math
in order to get through my high school math classes i came up with this little theory.  it worked wonders.
even if it was because i got credit for creativity.
My theory of Random Mathmatics is as follows:
Any question can have any answer for any reason.
simple isn't it?
here's an example
Question:
2+7=?
Answer:
Waffles
Why?
The chair has been glued to the ceiling.

There’s Damsels In Distress Out There And We’ve Got All This Beer

Music: Ballad To T.V. Violence ~ Cheap Trick
nothing like 4 days off to remind someone that they have no life...
I lie about the house watching tv or rebuilding my music library (which I got way too lucky on that, I will explain later), and go to Starbucks.
I really need to talk to someone who works there about some stuff, but she is always *gasp* working. how odd is that?
anyway, off to do something odd for my sister.

The Day The Music Died

Music: The Happiest Days Of Our Lives ~ Roger Waters
Ah, The Great Music Massacre...
Yes, it has achieved proper noun status in my mind.
For those of you who somehow missed it, the drive that I keep all my MP3s on crashed.  No more musics for Gale.
That makes Gale sad.
This time through, however, Gale is going to put all the albums on CD-R discs.  As Zip files so as to save a few CD-R discs.
Gale is clever like that.
Gale is going to put all of the CD-R discs in a safe place for if this ever happens again.  There will also be some papers hidden away that explains just what is on each of those CD-R discs.
Gale is also clever like that.
That is all for now.
Gale says goodnight!

Something Touched Me Deep Inside

so, yeah.
it would seem that the drive i kept all my music upon crapped out on me.
this makes me sad.
anyway, i was off some place the other night and they were selling farscape dvds for $1.99 each.
too bad I don't like farscape.
anyway
have fun.

Come In Here Dear Boy, Have A Cigar, You’re Gonna Go Far…

I had this big thing typed out, but i decided to scrap it based on the fact that it was too whiny.  even for lj, so, here ya go.
enjoy
Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar.
You're gonna go far, fly high,
You're never gonna die, you're gonna make it if you try;they're gonna love you.
Well I've always had a deep respect, and I mean that most sincerely.
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think.
Oh by the way, which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy
we call it Riding the Gravy Train.
We're just knocked out.
We heard about the sell out.
You gotta get an album out,
You owe it to the people. We're so happy we can hardly count.
Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart?
It's a helluva start, it could be made into a monster
if we all pull together as a team.
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy
we call it Riding the Gravy Train.

I Read The News Today, Oh My

Yeah. 
I was reading the QC awhile ago, and saw this in the news post for thursday's comic.   Good stuff there, eh?
"Special thanks go out to one James Ballard of Golden, CO for basically paying my bills next month due to his repeated patronage of the QC store. Enjoy all your shirts, James! I will have electricity thanks to you!"
I should have had him order one for me when he was offering awhile back.
Ah well.
Goodnight kids

Talkie Toaster

After first inflicting wilful damage upon his defective Talkie Toaster^TM (patent applied for) and then sabotaging its timeline by blocking a white hole, Crapola, Inc. customer David Lister found no solace. Time reverted to his previous altercation with the defective product, and the option of blocking a white hole (as recommended in the printed manual) was no longer available. Although he was not aware of it, David also had an added complication. If he allowed the present timeline to continue, his ship's computer would have its lifespan irrevocably reduced to less than four minutes, rendering it useless. This is his story.

Talkie Toaster
Howdy Doodly Doo! I'd like to toast for you -
A muffin, or a waffle, or a flapjack
That's because you see, thanks to boosted memory
Your favourite Talkie Toaster's made a comeback!

David Lister
Oh smegging hell! Oh no! Oh smeg, it can't be so!
What the smegging smeg's he smegging done?
Just shut your flamin' grill. I'll sort him out, I will
Any rubbish he's rebuilt can be undone

Talkie Toaster
Won't you have a bun? I'll toast one just for fun
I know you'd like it with some curry sauce
Oh won't you have just one - a lovely currant bun?
I've neglected you of late, I feel remorse

David Lister
Remember my lump hammer? There's an increasing clamour
From my heart and soul to cause you so much pain
Recall the garbage chute, and the years you spent so mute?
That could soon be the life for you again

Talkie Toaster
Do you recall I sing? Toast's not my only thing
My raison d'être often causes doubt
"Fly me to the moon, it's made of cheese" I'll croon
And cheese on toast is what life's all about

David Lister
Listen, you thick machine! What do you think I mean
When I say not to cook your smegging bread?
Shut your grill, here and now, or you'll find out just how
It could be you that's going to cook instead!

Talkie Toaster
Before you have a go, there's one thing I must know
It's important that I tell the other rabble
I want to make amends, and everything depends
On if you want a nice cheese and ham brabble

David Lister
Toaster, you've got it wrong, I've never liked your songs
And there's no chance of reconciliation
You're too obsessed with bread. It's doin' in my head
I just can't take your manic fascination

Talkie Toaster
I'm sorry 'bout your head, but I'm not obsessed with bread
I'm glad to cook a potato cake or two
I'll toast one for you now - I'm sure I recall how
Just pass the spuds - I'll heat 'em good right through

David Lister
Can't you understand? You cannot countermand
An order not to offer any toast
Toaster can't you see, you're irritatin' me!
I'll smash you once again if I get close

Talkie Toaster
Hey, don't be so rough. You know you're not so tough
Your moral code is something that you treasure
I've no cause to boast. I only want to toast
In quantities that are quite beyond measure

David Lister
You're testing my restraint. You know I ain't no saint
I'll rip the browning knob clean off yer fascia
An electric current here, a wire cut at your rear
And I could be toasting memory erasure

Talkie Toaster
Steady on there Mister, you lovely Mister Lister
It's my life's work - I toast therefore I am
It's my purpose in life, so don't give me such strife
It's little different to your stupid plan

David Lister
My plan is stupid, eh? That's the final straw I'd say
I'm gonna go to Fiji with Kochanski
Kryten's coming too - there's no way I'm taking you -
At least he'll enjoy cleaning underpantski

Talkie Toaster
Don't be such a twit. There's not a chance of it
Kochanski's only dust to grit your path with
Let me toast you a bap, you poor demented chap
And bread could be the reason that you live

David Lister
I will take the risk. I'm gonna find that disk
Rimmer can't hide Krissie's file forever
Alternatively, I've another thought, you see
In other worlds Kriss is still being clever

Talkie Toaster
What are you on about? You're mad, there's no more doubt
It's clear to me your brain has left your body
The seeds of your plan are sown, in dimensions unknown
And, frankly, your reasoning is just shoddy!

David Lister
And I suppose you'd know, that she'd never go
And leave her own dimension just for me?
No kitchen appliance, can understand the science
Or the love I had for Kristine Kochanski

Talkie Toaster
Oh, you stupid man! Forget your hopeless plan!
She dumped you after such a short affair
So forget all your tripe, she just was not your type
Deluding yourself so is quite unfair!

David Lister
What the smeg am I doin'? I'll only end up rueing
A conversation with this jumped up clutter
I regret the day I bought you - it was only 'cause I thought you
Were a bargain little treasure, not a nutter

Talkie Toaster
Yes, I admit it's true. Toast is what I do
Baguettes, they have a real fascination
But that is not my all - I am your alarm call
And I offer thoughtful conversation

David Lister
One thing's not quite clear; just why are you here?
The accident left you in smithereens
That's how you should be, not talking to me
Did Rob and Doug think you were worth more scenes?

Talkie Toaster
Who are Rob and Doug? Don't work in any plugs
You are the Creator, we have seen
And who repaired me? You mean you cannot see?
It all the work of your bogbot machine

David Lister
Holly, where is Krytes? I'll put him to rights
Explain to him why this thing went for trash
Toast 400 times, between hourly chimes
It's a maddening twenty dollarpound waste of cash

Talkie Toaster
I'm value packed, I'm nice, and it would suffice
If you would just eat 10 pancakes an hour
You need not short fuse me, or in any way abuse me
Or even disconnect me from main power

David Lister's computer, Holly
Kryten's on his way, and may I just say
It's good to see you toaster, once again
He cooked lots of bread - the space weevils he fed
While he and his companion kept me sane

David Lister
What do you mean companion? I've not seen a companion!
There's another smegging toaster here on board?
Is that what you mean? If so, that's quite obscene!
They could multiply, and that we can't afford!

Can you imagine life, ruled by the butter knife
Toasters in every room with no escape
Piles of toast all round, muffins carpeting the ground
Crumpets flying through the air like ticker tape!

David Lister's computer, Holly
Your toaster was chrome Dave, but Kryten seemed to save
The AI chip alone, from your special edition
The red casing you see, is Todhunter's Model C
Consigned to waste disposal for sedition

Guilt could not be proved, but that toaster was unmoved
By my affection for singing potatoes
For the space weevils' sakes, they became potato cakes
With skutters, dressed in bow ties, used as waiters

Talkie Toaster
You mean that I'm not chrome? My mind's not in its home?
I'm a lowly Model C - no thick/thin option?
I thought my voice had changed... I've lost my vocal range
The shame! The shame! Who's plotted this corruption?

David Lister
Yeeesss! Alright! That's brutal! Almost as good as Bootle!
A toaster with inferiority delusions!
And the bit I like the most, is he can't cook much more than toast!
No more muffin offers, or other such intrusions!

Talkie Toaster
He's right you know - it's true. Whatever will I do?
Only flat products can I offer to this room
No more baguettes for me; cancel muffins for tea
I'm useless, hopeless, fzzzt, pop, bang, ka-boom!

David Lister's mechanoid, a Kryten 4000 Series
The toaster's blown a fuse. Oh my, but that's no use
I'll repair him right away - give me an hour
He's vital to my plan, 'cause he shows that I can
Restore Holly's IQ and her brain power

David Lister's computer, Holly
Oh yeah, I meant to say, I found a file today
That says that Kryten's plan just will not work
We've already had a go, and found problems you know
There was a white hole - timelines went beserk!

My runtime was reduced, but in that time I produced
A file that even I can understand
Hidden safely away, to survive the time melée
Kryten, you can't restore my brains as planned

David Lister
Hol, show me the file. Wow! This lasted for a while!
Weeks of memories gone, and no Lise either
But hold on, what is this? Said, "I'm not gonna mish"
At pool with planets it seems I am a diva...

Smoke On The Water, Fire In The Sky

So. Yeah.  There was this.

Come On Baby Light My Fire

Original Title: This was how my day started

(Indianapolis) - A problem with a gas line caused an explosion and fire at a south side Arby's restaurant Thursday morning. One worker was injured.

The fire started at round 7:00 am at the restaurant, which is located at Sumner and East Streets.  The fire was out by 7:30.

Firefighters fought the fire from the roof of the building and managed to put it out quickly. Flames could be seen shooting from the roof, and a large amount of smoke billowed from the building.

Investigators say a four-year employee was preparing for the workday by turning on stoves and deep fryers when there was an explosion. The fire quickly followed the explosion, and then spread to the dining area.
Bill Deashill, Perry Township PIO, said the worker suffered burns to his arms and face, but managed to make his own way out of the building. There were no customers inside at the time.
Deashill told News 8 that a contractor from the previous evening did not properly seat the gas line, which is something workers must do in the process of cleaning equipment. When the employee on Thursday morning's shift came in and turned on the gas, that set off the explosion.

The restaurant's 18 workers will be transferred to other stores. There's no word on when the Arby's will re-open.

I Can’t Decide Whether You Should Live Or Die

Original Title: Somebody ought to put you back into your place

I keep forgetting that there are indeed fast food places where you don't have to do any real work to get a salary.
I just went to McSurly's and saw something like 8 fat employees. It has been my experience that working fast food and being fat really don't go together. they had like 12 people working and something like no customers plus myself. took me something like minutes to get my food. Everyone just stood there like they had all the time in the world. You would think at least that being surrounded by food, the fat peoples would be in heaven, but let me tell you this-eating the same thing over and over again gets real tiresome real fast. I realize that I can not base my opinions upon what I see from going in there, but I have seen the tv commercials, I work in the industry, and even once (briefly) worked there. They are not all about being surly to the peoples. I think they are slipping because they know that the company can never fail. Well let me tell you, this industry is going to die one day. Soon hopefully, and McFatties, you are in no position to flow with the changes, at first I thought our menu was a bit outrageous, but now I see what RTM is doing. They are preparing for the day that the fast food industry either evolves into something less repulsive than it presently is, or (hopefully) dies altogether.

Sing With Me

if but i knew what was going on with you, all might possibly be right and proper with the world. on the other hand, knowing what was going on would involve asking, and that is not something i feel the urge to do at this juncture. at least, not after what happened the last time i wandered off for a few moments.

Little Drops Of Rain

Music: Page & Plant ~ Thank You
first off, i am typing this very blindly.  i can not sleep, and i am therefore not wearing my glasses, so bear with me here.
let us see.
tonight i stopped and helped some random strangers who were stranded on the road.  the kid hit a pothole and blew both tires on the passenger side of his car.  he only had the standard one spare, and no lug wrench, so i helped them push it out of the entrance of the parking lot where he stopped and into a parking space.  i hung around until the person they called for a ride showed up.  we messed about with the car a bit longer.  i put a jack under the front because leaving the rim sitting on the ground is not really smart.  yes, the tire was more or less completely gone.
that, combined with the events of saturday through tuesday made me realize that my Jeep is not invulnerable.  so, i spent some time tonight putting my tools back where they belong, finding my jack and putting it back where it goes, and adding 2 flashlights to the mix.  i need to get a folding 4-way lug wrench tomorrow, because i gave my other one to annie.  i have a 22 mm socket that will work, but i don't have a breaker bar and i don't want to subject my ratchet to that kind of abuse, if i can help it.  i have broken 2 of them, and this is the only one i have left.
my toolbox is so nifty,  it is a small army ammo box.  metal, watertight, seals nicely.  if fits perfectly between my seat and door in my Jeep.  i got it for fifty cents at a garage sale a few years ago.  i may need to come up with another because this one is almost full.  i will worry about that when i get the time and resources though.
and the tendonitis in my right elbow is making the typing so freaking difficult now, so goodnight kids.

It’s A Rig That Will Never Fail

the Jeep now has a muffler again.  it goes in a quiet and happy manner.  i am right back where from i started.
go me!
once mine birthday comes and goes, i will probably use the monies from that to begin doing things i want to do to the Jeep.  probably the frame for the top or new hinges or doors or something.  just small stuff to get it to where i eventually want it to be
well, goodnight kids

Message In A Bottle

Pickles.
That is dinner.
Just pickles.  Right from the jar.
Gads, I am pathetic.

Sing, Sing, Sing!

I got a driveshaft
I got a driveshaft
I got a driveshaft
Hey hey hey hey

Got A CJ-5 With A 4 Wheel Drive (2)

also, while the thing was aimlessly spinning all over the world, it destroyed (read: beat the crap out of and then ripped off) the muffler.  I had just put that thing on there like 3 months ago!

Got A CJ-5 With A 4 Wheel Drive

The drive shaft fell off of Gale's much-loved Jeep tonight.  It would not have been as bad if Gale had not been in the middle of a busy intersection when it happened.  Gale singlehandedly pushed it along and got over into the right hand lane (while pushing) and had enough momentum to get it up the hill and into a hotel's parking lot.  It would have worked if some random man had not come up and started pulling it the other way.  Ah well. We got it.  Gale then proceeded to get it to work by pulling the shaft the rest of the way off and then putting it into 4WD.  The purpose served by that was to engage the non-broken driveshaft and render it operable once again.  Worked beautifully.  Until the transmission fluid started pouring out of where the rear shaft needed to be.  So, said Jeep is sitting at work right now and I shall be making my way up there very early in the morning to get it dealt with, one way or another.

Too much time has passed by to
Lament that we were deeply in love
The wind still blowing, while my heart
Cannot heal all the tears in it
One side of my eyes see tomorrow,
And the other one see yesterday
I hope I could sleep in the cradle of your love, again
Someone, cry for me with parched eyes.
*The real folk blues
I only want to know what true sadness is
Sitting in muddy water
Isn't such a bad life
It ends after the first time.
Hopeless hope,
And the chance with traps
What is right, or wrong
It's like a both side of a coin
How long I must live till I release?
The real folk blues
I just want to feel a real pleasure
All that glitters is not gold
*The real folk blues
I only want to know what true sadness is
Sitting in muddy water
Isn't such a bad life
It ends after the first time.

With or Without You

Music: Night Train to Mundo Fine ~ John Carradine (The most washed up actor in history)
So
As I sit here waiting for my socks to dry, I start to think.
As dangerous as that is, I am not in the mood for anyone but me to crack jokes at my expense right now.  I will take the liberty of finding some means of hunting you down and doing something very unpleasant to you with a poorly sharpened spoon should I find that you are cracking any joke-related things at my expense.
Now that the formalities are out of the way, I can get back to where I was thinking I might possibly drag this thing.
I am waiting for my socks to dry, and waiting for my chickens to cook.
It occurs to me that I need to start sleeping more than about 3 hours at night.  I don't like what it does to me when I have no sleep and virtually no food.
Most peoples's minds would completely shut down, but when that happens to me, however, some other normally dormant, more perceptive part of my brain decidedes to make it's presence known.  It is not so much as a different personality (no matter how much it may seem to be so), it is more like how a person's hearing improves when their sight starts to go.
Eerie.
This whole thing makes no sense whatsoever.  I might clean it up later, or I might just leave it as a jumbled testament of my exhausted normal mindset. 
We shall see.
I did, however, come up with a mildly interesting voice mail greeting tonight for my cell phone (***-***-*** NOPE!), for those who are morbidly curious, knock yourselves out.
Goodnight kids

Night Train To Mundo Fine

I try not to take a firm stand on issues like these, because I don't want to become one of those Comic Book Guy-style movie geeks who pronounce every film they see to be the "worst... movie... ever." But I will say this for "Manos": It does have a bumbling, almost charming naïveté about it. When you see the movie, it's clear that it became such an unwatchable mess because director Hal Warren was in way, way over his head and didn't have a clue what he was doing. With Red Zone Cuba, however, you get the feeling that everyone involved knew better, but just didn't care.

This makes it something much, much worse than an incompetently-made, idiotic B-movie that evokes reactions of unintentional hilarity. No, this is a movie that will make you angry, angrier than you've ever felt in a movie before. Angrier than when Kirk fell under a bridge in Generations, angrier than watching what Joel Schumacher did to Batman, angrier than how you felt during the endings of AI, The Game, Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes, or Boxing Helena all put together.

Far be it for me to spoil a movie this early into a review, but Red Zone Cuba is a film that seriously gives Seinfeld a run for its money in the "being about nothing" department. In this movie, three drifters meet up and do nothing. Then they get recruited by the military, and nothing happens. The military sends them off to Cuba, and nothing happens there, either. Finally, after some more nothing happening, they head out to a mine where nothing happens some more, until one guy dies. Seriously, that's the whole movie.

Compounding the pain is how the "characters" are about as charming as my living room furniture. (And I live in a crack house.) The three main characters actually have negative personality. That is to say, as I watched this movie, personality was sucked out of me and I become a significantly less interesting person than I was before I saw it.

Any discussion of Red Zone Cuba would be remiss without a mention of its writer, director, and star, Coleman Francis, who's also singlehandedly responsible for two other cinematic abominations, Beast of Yucca Flats and Skydivers. Until the IMDb recently altered the formula used to calculate the list of its bottom 100 films, these three movies were all in the bottom fifteen. Probability dictates that every now and then, a totally clueless director like Hal Warren or Tony Malanowski might punch through and end up making one of the worst movies ever just by pure chance, but to make three of them clearly requires active hatred towards paying audiences.

And don't think his co-producer and co-star Tony Cardoza gets off the hook here, either. Not only did he co-produce all of Francis' films, but he also produced and had a cameo in Hellcats, a film that somehow is just as hellish to sit through. Watching these films makes it abundantly clear that both Francis and Cardoza had negative talent, and when they get together, incredibly, the whole is even less than the sum of its parts. In this regard, Red Zone Cuba is their masterpiece, because it might just be the one, true anti-movie.

Now, I usually don't mention stuff before the movie like FBI warnings or production credits (unless they happen to be printed on a sheet of paper), but in this case I have to mention that the words "An Anthony Cardoza Enterprise Release" hang on the screen for at least three minutes [!]. Personally, if I were even partially responsible for a piece of shit like this, my name would blink on and off the screen faster than the legal disclaimers at the end of a reality show. But maybe that's just me.

The movie itself starts with a car rolling into a dilapidated train station that looks like it's way, way on the outskirts of town, which is probably where Coleman Francis should have left this movie's screenplay and any notion of filming it. A young guy wearing a tie and a tweed jacket gets out of the car, and then we cut to John Carradine in a stereotypical conductor's outfit of an overalls and cap. Yes, that's right, this movie is blessing us with the sight of John Carradine dressed like a character from Thomas the Tank Engine

newsletter below, or click this link to see it in all of its majestic HTML
beauty on the web:

HEADLINES
DNRC UPDATE - The DNRC continues its unstoppable drive toward total
world domination, now boasting 419,000 inexplicably attractive members.
Each one of you is so bright that night falls a full hour later wherever
you live.
NIAGARA FALLS, NY - Stunt man Lucky Hinterman died while attempting to
go over Niagara Falls in a barrel. Brother and equipment manager Brent
Hinterman took full responsibility for the tragedy. "I was in charge of
getting the barrel all cushioned and reinforced. But my son had a
soccer game, and in my book, family comes first." When asked if he
considered his brother to be a member of the family, Brent said, "Well, I
suppose that's one way to look at it."
BRENTWOOD, CA - Beautician and self-described "best collector ever"
Betty Blakeslee has the world's largest random collection. "I started out
collecting things that had something in common. You know, Beanie
Babies, porcelain unicorns, that sort of thing. But I realized it was
limiting me. My eureka-moment came when I realized I didn't need to be bound
by the old rules. I could collect any objects whatsoever and put them
all together." Blakeslee's collection boasts a bottle cap, a steering
wheel from a Ford Pinto, and 900 bags of household trash.
EUGENE, OR - Bradley Wilkerson came out of a coma yesterday, only to
realize that he couldn't think of anything worth saying or doing. Five
years ago, never known for his vibrant personality, Wilkerson had been in
a coma for ten days before anyone in his family noticed. "He'd always
been a good listener but I noticed that he kept wearing the same
clothes," said wife Peggy.
Doctors at Our Lady of Perpetual Motion described his coma as
self-induced. "It looked voluntary to us," explained Doctor Spumken. "Sometimes
we see guys who are just trying to beat the system. You know - free
intravenous meals, don't have to work, sponge baths. But we can usually
weed them out with tickling. This guy had a lot of self-control."
SCOTIA, NY - Bank teller and Renaissance man Mark Bunter changed his
political viewpoints yesterday. It's the first known change of opinion by
a person who had previously made up his mind. "I was doing my research
before the election, paying attention to all the informative ads on
television, and suddenly I just changed my mind. It felt good!"
Bunter later changed his mind back to his original views, noting that
he had been right all along. Still, it was a first, and Bunter has been
asked to give inspirational talks to corporations on the subject of
pretending to embrace change.
TANNERSVILLE, NY - Scientists have discovered that your nose DOES grow
when you lie. Head researcher Toby Flemming explained, "You've probably
noticed that people's noses get bigger as they get older. That's
because old people are huge liars. You don't know that they're lying most of
the time because they're so experienced at it." Explained Flemming,
"The typical married male's proboscis grows 15% over his lifetime just
from agreeing with his wife in the hope that it will make her stop
talking."

TRUE TALES OF INDUHVIDUALS
Here are some more true tales of induhviduals, as reported by vigilant
DNRC operatives in the field.
--
A friend of mine took his California girlfriend to the east coast for a
vacation. He took her to see her first sunrise over the ocean. After
watching the view, she said, "That was great. Does it come up EVERY
morning here?"
--
Last weekend, my in-laws visited and brought some "20% off" coupons for
the local Do-It-Yourself warehouse. We need new flooring for our
kitchen, so my mother-in-law said we could take two coupons and get 40% off.
When I suggested we take six and get paid to take the flooring away, I
was told not to be silly.
My wife, sensing her mother was being ridiculed, butted in and
suggested that we both take a coupon and each buy half the flooring, thus
getting a 40% discount. Neither she nor her mother could spot the flaw in
this plan.
--
I was sitting in the lunchroom with a coworker, and he noticed a
"funny" pattern on one of his socks. He told me that his socks were the same
color, but the pattern of one was not right. He just couldn't figure
out what was wrong. I let him ponder the situation for five minutes and
then I informed him that he was wearing one sock inside out. He is our
director of quality.
--
I was shopping at a department store, and took my selection to the
cashier. She asked, "Did you find that ok?" I replied, "No, I'm still
looking for it."
INDUHVIDUAL QUOTES
Here now, more quotes from Induhviduals, submitted by DNRC field
operatives.
"A little pain never hurt anyone."
"Make sure you cross your p's and q's."
"Perception is 99% of the law."
"I hate to throw cold water on your bubble."
"I think you play a little harder when you can taste the light at the
end of the tunnel."
"The squeaky wheel is the one that makes the most noise."
"My arms were knee-deep in mud."
"That's not my bag of game."
"That's going to be a tough animal to crack."
"He could talk a dog's ass off the hind leg of a mule."
"...been chasing this rabbit for years and it finally came home to
roost."
"For this to work, you really have to be out there humping the bushes."
"Isn't leather made out of wood?"
"You know, I think the sun may be the biggest thing in the world."
"You're only smart on the outside."
"I am not the woman I used to be, and I never was!"

ASK DOGBERT
-----------
Dear Dogbert,
I work with a completely moronic and misogynistic son of a... Anyway,
he keeps checking my work in search of any mistakes so he can tell on
me. The problem is that I (as a member of DNRC) don't make any
noticeable mistakes whereas he, on the other hand, keeps messing up because he's
totally focused on my work. What can I do so he'll back off?
Ximena
Dear Eczema,
Go to a web site that features women in prison who are looking for
romance, and start writing to one of them using your coworker's name and
home address. Select a prisoner who is nearing parole for a violent crime
and then profess your undying (ironic) love for her. Then just wait.
Sincerely,
Dogbert
--
Dear Dogbert,
Is carrot cake considered a vegetable?
Amanda
Dear Aman-duh,
I don't know about the carrot cake, but you're getting pretty close
yourself.
Sincerely,
Dogbert
--
Dogbert,
I have a problem. My boss keeps assigning to other people the tasks
that would normally fall under my supervision. I'm starting to worry that
if something gets screwed up, it's going to get me in trouble with the
higher-ups. What should I do about it?
Josh
Dear Sloshed,
It's not generally called a "problem" when other people do the work for
which you are getting paid. But since you seem to be a whiner, I will
answer your question: You should take credit for the accomplishments of
those "other people" when they do good things, and you should complain
to your boss's boss when they screw up. Mention that your immediate
boss "might have a drinking problem." It's hard to disprove, and unless
he's saying the same thing about you, it helps your credibility.
Sincerely,
Dogbert
--
Dear Dogbert,
How should I handle creepy men that hit on me at work? Apparently they
all think I'm hot.
Heather
Dear Hotter,
Mr. Adams requested that he answer your question personally. He will
stop by your cubicle tomorrow. Say around lunchtime?
Sincerely,
Dogbert
--
Dear Dogbert,
Someone I know keeps asking me if he can buy my soul. I've told him he
can't afford it, but he keeps hassling me. How should I respond?
Ronny
Dear Runny,
Give him a price. The great thing about souls is that no one knows what
one looks like. Odds are that your friend can't tell the difference
between your eternal essence and, for example, flatulence. If you put
either one in a sealed glass jar with a label that says "Ronny's Soul," who
is going to question it?
Sincerely,
Dogbert

Let The Music Play

3/6 of the comics updated this morning.
i guess i can not complain, the ones that did were quite humorous.

You Can Listen To The Engine

grr
just when i thought the month could get no worse
first off it is brought to my attention that we get to sell our house
skippee
next off is that i have to get my own car insurance, because i got kicked off of my dad's policy, which, considering i should have not been there for almost 3 years, is okay.  just the timing that bothers me.
i am getting a new policy with a different company squared away this morning, and the website tells me that i have to call the people because of some problem with my driving record.  i call.  the woman i talk to makes an interesting discovery.  that being that my license was suspended some nine months ago for no reason at all, and no one bothered sending me anything, or anything.  apparently i was involved in an accident in october with a car that i totaled and was, therefore, forced to get rid of the previous february.
anyway, i get insurance, and now i just have to spend my days off getting the transmission in my beloved Jeep flushed out, and then getting it inspected, and also figuring out how to get my license reinstated.
skippee
also, two of my webcomics, thus so far, have no update.
we shall see about the others now

Whee!

I’m Coming Home To You

Whee!!!!!
Twenty-five years after the original radio series of Douglas Adams’s The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy exploded into the public consciousness, the further exploits of its bewildered hero, Arthur Dent, are being brought to life in their original medium and with the (mainly) original cast. This dramatisation of the last three books, Life, The Universe And Everything; So Long And Thanks For All The Fish and Mostly Harmless (none of which were originally produced for radio), features Douglas Adams himself, thanks to the wonders of digital technology. Douglas always intended to play the part of Agrajag and recorded himself in the part a few years ago.
The programmes are adapted and directed by Douglas Adams’s original choice for the job, award-winning audio director Dirk Maggs, following Douglas’s instructions and notes which were made in preparation for these productions. The original Hitchhiker’s radio cast returns: Simon Jones as Arthur Dent, Geoffrey McGivern as Ford Prefect, Susan Sheridan as Trillian, Mark Wing-Davey as Zaphod Beeblebrox and Stephen Moore as Marvin The Paranoid Android. The late Peter Jones’s great friend, William Franklyn, replaces him as The Voice Of The Book. Music for the new series is by Paul "Wix" Wickens (Paul McCartney’s musical director) and Phil Pope. The second of the new series is due in spring 2005. The producer is Bruce Hyman

Tell The Truth

finished wolves of the calla last night.  took me a week and a half instead of a day and a half.  it's amazing just how much i missed the first time through.
not a whole lot.
i was going to jump into the few eternal campion books that i kept out, but i decided some silliness of the Adams variety was in order.  I thought about going through the guide again, but seeing as how i have been listening to the radio series couple of weeks, i think i am all hitchhiked out for the time.  needless to say, i am going through the salmon of doubt now.
but seeing as how i have an irritating three year old messing with the keyboard whilst i am trying to type, i must now go.
more to come later though.
night kids

A Southern Man Don’t Need Him Around Anyhow

get to unload the truck at work at like 7 in the morning.  then i get to spend probably the rest of the day fixing the starter in my sister's alleged car.
every inch of the starter in the alleged car is covered in oil.  it has 2 lines running over it, both of which are metal.  skippee. 
you kids have fun.

Take It To The Limit

ergh
came home to discover that the hard drive that has the windows installation on it (my dad's computer, i.e. internet access computer) is mostly dead.
I can probably pull it up to save all the important stuffs, but that is, at this point, an iffy proposition.  needless to say, i have spent the last 4 hours getting the other disk partitioned and prepared to take over in the former primary drive's place.
my opinion of western digital drives:
Myself, I wouldn't trust it to the end of the Earth.
Yes, but how far's that?
About 12 minutes I'd think.  Come on, I need a drink!

East Of Omaha

Just purchased something for someone's upcoming birthday.  She would probably slap me for it, but I get lucky because I won't be attending comic con.  Therefore, once I recieve it, I can wrap it up with a card and something else, and then drop it back into the mail, free of her wrath for another few days.
Go me!

Your Job’s A Joke

here i am freaking out because i can not see my previous entry.  then i remember just how i posted it.  gads, i am pathetic.
goodnight again

So No One Told You Life Was Going To Be This Way

So, yeah.
I think I am going crazy.
For real this time.
All the various issues I have had to deal with over the last 2 or 3 months, mostly at work, are getting to me in a serious way now.
My self control has been slipping in a serious way as a result of this.  I pretty much lost it the other night at work.  Needless to say, I am surprised that I still actually have a job.  The catch is, however, that was but a small preview of what is in store for whomever my wrath winds up being directed at if I completely lose it though. 
I really don't want that to happen.
So, I have done the only thing I can think to do.  The 10, 11, 12, & 13 of July I have requested off.  Mental Health Days.  Everyone needs them on occasion.  The whole two days off in a row thing is great, oh sure, but sometimes you really need more than that to get your stuff back together.  If that can hold me over until September, that will rock.  It would seem that a friend of mine from work has decided to take me to Las Vegas.  How fun will that be?
Anyway.
The only things holding my mind together at this point are my books and my sleep.
I got hold of Song of Susannah (Dark Tower VI) from the library.  Finshed that in 2 days.  Since I first picked up that one about 7 days ago, I started over with The Gunslinger (Dark Tower I).  I have now gone straight through to the point of being about 1/7 of the way through Wizard & Glass (Dark Tower VI).  We're talking about 1,532 pages in the last 9 days.
While I am thinking about it, I think I am going to need to get hold of Wolves of the Calla (Dark Tower V) and renew VI so I can make it through from start to finish.  Should take me another 6 days or so.   After that, I plan to pick up the Rat books (10 in all).  Then I am going to go back to work on this Elric Business (11 there).  That is my plan at least.  Maybe I will get through it all in the next week and a half, we shall see.
Now for the reason behind this post:
I am going to be very scarce for the next week and a half or so.  I am doing this not because I hate you all and don't want to talk to any of you, but because I fear what I may say or do.
I was about to go and write something here, but I realized that it was going to be a differently worded version of the above paragraph.
Stupid mind.
Or, rather, lack thereof.
So, goodnight for awhile.  I might keep you all up to date.  I need a project, so chances are, I will start reworking the grey site.  We shall see. 
Something like that usually helps me out, any layout suggestions or designing tips you have would be greatly apprecieated.  I am also looking to learn a bit more about style sheets.  Any assistance and or links would be great, but don't hurt yourself.
Also, I have galeharpring@gmail.com for your emailing pleasures.
Thanks
Gale

Got Goldfishes

Actual event from work the other night:
Woman comes and orders a fish sandwich.  We make it and give it to her.
Not five minutes later she is back at the counter.  Her purpose?  Return the uneaten fish sandwich for a roast beef sandwich.  Her reason?
"I can't eat this 'cause I ain't got no teeth!"
The woman is in her late twenties or early thirties.
So, she gets the sandwich she wants and as she is turning around to go sit down, the guy she is with comes up and starts yelling at her.
"YOU REALLY NEED TO GO BUY SOME TEETH WOMAN!"
My god, what a wonderful area I work in.

I downloaded the FireSomething extension for my firefox broswer.  Great stuff there!
It gives you a product name generated from a customizable list.  Fun stuff there.
OOh! The main window was closed and reopened, and it came up as Mozilla Seastarfish.
It has 3 columns.

2. Prefixes (Fire)
3. Names (Fox)
Feel free to make some suggestions, especially in the vendor category.
I have added Radio Scrap and Beef Repository.
Fuego and Torgo have been added to the prefix browser, but that is the most creative I have come up with thus so far.

Down In The Tunnels Trying to Make It Pay

Music: Walk of Life ~ Dire Straits
I went off to sleep without saying anything to anyone, but someone who I have not seen for just over 2 years called and was all "So, ya wanna do something in the morning? 'Cause I have something for you that I have been carrying around for like the last 6 months, and seeing as how I am leaving again very early thursday morning, and yeah."
She went off to Oklahoma several years ago, and was in town for a couple of days this week. Seemingly got my cell phone number from one of the like 3 people I know from school that I still talk to.
Anyway, she got me the first 4 Dark Tower books. Her logic was "all your copies are all worn out and very sad looking, I know you won't replace them until the pages and covers fall off (she knows me so well), so I got you some of the new ones. Look! They're all shiny and black and and and yeah, isn't it cool!?"
To which I thanked her and then we wandered about doing things in Greenwood for a few hours.
I almost forgot how much I miss her sometimes.

Start Spreading The News

Gale is entertained right now.
It is strange.
Gale just picked up the entire run of The Critic.  Gads, Gale forgot how great this show is.  Gale has been laughing almost non-stop.
Great suff!

Wine And Women

That's right, I'm dead.
Dead as a can of Spam.
Went out with my...friend tonight. She was half an hour late, no surprise there, but it worked out well. We sat about talking for far longer than we should have, considering we were both more or less dead.
After that, I vaguely remember going home, where upon reaching the couch to remove my shoes, I remember nothing. Until I regained consciousness about 10 minutes ago, while still wearing one shoe.
So, I apologize for everything. It was, however, worth the death and stuff I had to deal with through the night.

The Echoes Of A Distant Time Come Willowing Across The Sand

Wherein I express my opinion that General Mills needs to get their act together

I was recently treated to a sort of epiphany. The things that kids nowadays do that are being blamed upon the so called "violent video games" are not soley responsible for the actions of these unruly youths.
As a child these kids were subjected to television commercials advertising breakfast cereals from a certain company. These commercials made things like petty larceny, arrest without just cause, and cannibalism (assumed, but still) look okay. If the parents are not around to instill a value system into the child that says "Hey, kid! Stealing things, standing idly around watching people get chased by cops for no reason, and eating people is wrong. Don't do it!!," than it is more the parent's falt than anything that the kid is screwed up to start with.
Now, on to what I am referring to.
The rabbit on the Trix commercials is a good place to start. I am torn between my desire to see the rabbit get the Trix, but on the other hand, I am tired of watching him try to steal them. Why doesn't he just go buy his own? I mean think about it, stealing the Trix is much the same as stealing candy from a baby. Granted, the kids he is always trying to get them from are stuck up little snot-nosed brats who may have it coming, but the kids' parents are the ones shelling out their hard earned cash for the cereal. The kids may deserve having the stuff stolen, but techincally that stupid rabbit is stealing the money from the parents. How is that a good infulence?
Also, Lucky the Leprechaun. He can not seem to eat or whatever he wants to do with his lucky charms in peace. He is always being hounded by the snot-nosed brats who are trying to steal his stuff. He seems unable to work any of his Leprechaun magic to deter those meddling kids. Honestly, the things that Leprechaun goes through just to eat breakfast everyday.
The parents actually miss these things that are scarring their kids from an early age?
You think the petty larceny is not enough?
Take the Cookie Crisp dog. Constantly being hounded by the cop. That Irish git is always after him. What is the dog's crime? Wanting to eat cookies for breakfast. How is that a crime? Answer me that. If anything, feeding kids cookies for breakfast makes a very happy kid. I speak from personal experience here. I can look back with fondness at the mornings I woke up only to find that dad had brought home a bag filled with cookies to have for breakfast. Those were decidedly much happier days for me.
Anyway, I think that stupid smeg-head of a cop needs to get his priorites straight. He needs to do something about that rabbit's kleptomania problem, and he needs to sit those kids who seem to discriminate against Leprechauns down and have a nice long talk with them, preferably involving the head breaker he tended to carry around.
Also, the cop needs to look into the disappearance of the other two Cinnamon Toast Crunch chefs. Years ago there were 3 of them. Two tall thin ones and a shortish fat git. The two thin ones were, one day, just gone, and the last one seems to have put on a few extra pounds, No explaination for either occurance that I remember.
So, yeah, in short, General Mills needs to re-evaluate their commercials, and that cop needs to stop being a lazy git and start taking care of the real crimes. The racism, larceny, and cannibalism.
If these things happen, then our kids won't be subjected to having their already fragile values systems shaken, so hard, possibly that it winds up being destroyed merely by a cereal advertisement.
Think about it people. That's all I ask.

Here I Am, Yes It’s Me

Music: Here I Am ~ Lyle Lovett
As I sit here thinking about it, I am reading quite the appropriate book.
Elric: Song of the Black Sword.
Elric is quite possibly one of the most depressing hero-type characters who was ever concieved. This is appropriate because I realized that today is the one year mark of the start of what wound up being quite possibly the most depressing year of my life.
I might elaborate further later on.
We shall see.

I'm all alone, more or less.

I Did Not Say Much, I Just Stood There Watching As That .45 Told Them Goodbye

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy has a few things to say on the subject of towels.
A towel, it says, is the most massively useful thing an interstellar hitchhiker can have. Partly it has great practical value. You can wrap it around you for warmth as you bound he cold moons of Jaglon Beta; you can lie on it on the brilliant marble-sanded beaches of Santraginus V, inhaling the heady sea vapors; you can sleep under it beneath the stars which shine so redly on the desert world of Kafrofoon; use it to sail a miniraft down the slow heavy River Moth; wet it for hand-to-hand combat; wrap it round your head to ward off noxious fumes or to avoid the gaze of the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal (a mind-bogglingly stupid animal--daft as a brush, but very very ravenous); you can wave your towel in emergencies as a distress signal, and of course dry yourself off with it if it still seems to be clean enough.
More importantly, a towel has immense psychological value. For some reason, if a strag (strag: non-hitchhiker) discovers that a hitchhiker has a towel with him, he will automatically assume that he is also in possession of a toothbrush, washcloth, soap, tin of biscuits, flask, compass, map, ball of string, gnat spray, wet-weather gear, space suit etc., etc. Furthermore, the strag will then happily lend the hitchhiker any of these or a dozen other items that a hitchhiker might accidentally have "lost." What the strag will think is that any man who can hitch the length and breadth of the Galaxy, rough it, slum it, struggle against terrible odds, win through and still know where his towel is, it is clearly as man to be reckoned with. Hence a phrase that has passed into hitchhiking slang, as in "Hey, you sass that hoopy Ford Prefect? There's a frood who really knows where his towel is." (Sass: know, be aware of, meet, have sex with; hoopy: really together guy; frood: really amazingly together guy.)
"If you want to survive in life, you've got to know where your towel is."

Work Sucks! I Know!

so, yeah. umm...
we got smashed up by a tornado at work last night.
i have only been able to come up with one picture, but i plan to get a few more here shortly.
This was taken by the channel 6 dorks last night. I shall have some better ones here in short order.

She’s No Lady She’s My Wife

interesting day today
worked...sucked
sat about at a gradiaton party
went to starbucks with some peoples
went back to said party
watched a bit of the princess bride
went shopping with the previously mentioned people
got a new led zeppelin shirt while shopping with the peoples in question
decided that one of the peoples in question was most probably one of the most awesome peoples i have ever met
i won't name the senorita though
;)

*Author’s Note: The title was added in February of 2018.  I no longer have any idea who the senorita in question is…I sort of wish now that I had named here in this post.*

Tomorrow will, theoretically, be a good day. At lest, after two. No more working for Gale after two tomorrow!
Gale spake in the third person for 3 consecutive hours this afternoon. Gale was driving many a person insane!

Look Like Diamonds In The Sky

Music: Lyle Lovett ~ L.A. County

There is a small part of me that wonders if this inspired the bit in Kill Bill with the wedding...

L.A. County ~ Lyle Lovett
She left Dallas for California
With an old friend by her side
Well he did not say much
But one year later
He'd ask her to be his wife
And the lights of L.A. County
Look like diamonds in the sky
When you're driving through the hours
With an old friend at your side
One year later I left Houston
With an old friend by my side
Well it did not say much
But it was a beauty
Of a coal black .45
And the lights of L.A. County
Look like diamonds in the sky
When you're driving through the hours
With an old friend at your side
So I drove on all the day long
And I drove on through the night
And I thought of her a'waiting
For to be his blushing bride
And the lights of L.A. County
They looked like diamonds in the sky
As I drove into the valley
With my old friend at my side
And as she stood there at the altar
All dressed in her gown of white
Her face was bright as stars a'shining
Like I'd dreamed of all my life
And they kissed each other
And they turned around
And they saw me standing in the aisle
Well I did not say much
I just stood there watching
As that .45 told them goodbye
And the lights of L.A. County
Look like diamonds in the sky
When you're kneeling at the altar
With an old friend at your side
And the lights of L.A. County
Are a mighty pretty sight
When you're kneeling at the altar
With an old friend at your side

Queer.
I could not help myself.
The word just looks strange.
Anyway, for those of you who are either wondering, or concerned, this kid works 7-2 on the 29th o'May.
So, that does, I guess, mean (Annie, this means you) at least drop by for a few moments to your little party thing.
Are you kids staying the night, or going back right after?

We’re Gonna Move This Truckin’ Convoy Across The USA

I have just reached the end of a series of startling revelations
1 - 42 is the answer
2 - My rampant apathy towards life, the universe, and everything is really not helping matters
3 - No one else feels like saying or doing anything of any use whatsoever right now
4 - I am going to do something similar
5 - I am going to go plug my phone in, so it can have some power for the first time in 3 days
6 - I am going to go clean my room up a bit
7 - Goodnight

I am You And What I See Is Me

Music: Johnny Cash (More likely CW McCall) - Convoy
Overhead the albatross
Hangs motionless upon the air
And deep beneath the rolling waves
In labyrinths of coral caves
An echo of a distant time
Comes willowing across the sand
And everything is green and submarine.
And no one called us to the land
And no one knows the where's or why's.
Something stirs and something tries
Starts to climb toward the light.
Strangers passing in the street
By chance two separate glances meet
And I am you and what I see is me.
And do I take you by the hand
And lead you through the land
And help me understand
The best I can.
And no one called us to the land
And no one crosses there alive.
No one speaks and no one tries
No one flies around the sun....
Almost everyday you fall
Upon my waking eyes,
Inviting and inciting me
To rise.
And through the window in the wall
Come streaming in on sunlight wings
A million bright ambassadors of morning.
And no one sings me lullabyes
And no one makes me close my eyes
So I throw the windows wide
And call to you across the sky....

American Woman Stay Away From Me

Music: The Guess Who - American Woman
So. Peoples have been telling me about this TV show for a while now. Apparently something happens, people sing, then people vote for said singers. The loser singers go off and get all sad and depressed and hold grudges against society for most of the rest of eternity, while the not quite so loserific singers go on to enjoy about 9 seconds of stardom before fading into obscurity.
Really now, that's just what we need. A show that shoves alleged "talent" in our faces and says "vote, becuase the winner is going to be the next pop-culture icon!"
Honestly.
Do your votes actually matter?
Or do you just wind up with a british asshole telling you that you can not sing for anything?
Either way, this is what passes for entertainment anymore?
My next issue is this:
Why must it be televised and, in comparison to the standard way, be instantaneous? The standard way involves finding some people who have similar interests to you, and making some sort of arrangement called a "band." After that, you practice to figure out where you all stand from a musical stance. The next logical step would be to write some original "songs" that you would then practice until you get to a point where you are happy with the way things are looking.
Now comes the point where we find out if you have any talent or not.
You actually perform at clubs or concerts or something similar. You then get a small fanbase going. Once you get to a point where you are generating some sort of revenue, you might go and make an album that you would pay to have produced and stuff out of said income.
Said album would then start to generate a profit if you were popular and talented and enough people got word. After that, you might just get famous. Especially if you have a good record company backing you.
Not this bullhooey that they have going on on the TV anymore.
Come on now people!
While it may be fun to live vicariously through the actions of others, this is just pathetic. They have been doing this show for a few years now, and the only thing I have heard about anything from anyone was some loser recently. Where is he now? Obscurity, or fading fast. I neither know or care.
Anyway, I think I will stop here. I can go on for a very long time about this sort of thing.

i just made a comment about something totally random.
this is the image i linked to in said comment.
if spontaneous acts of rememberation (yes, i know i just made the word up) pertaining to someone like super dave osborne still leave me as "sane," then there is indeed something wrong with the world in general.

Oh Darling Walk A While With Me

Over The Hills And Far Away
(Page/Plant)
Hey lady--you got the love I need
Maybe more than enough.
Oh Darling... walk a while with me
You've got so much...
Many have I loved - Many times been bitten
Many times I've gazed along the open road.
Many times I've lied - Many times I've listened
Many times I've wondered how much there is to know.
Many dreams come true and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold.
Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missing
Many many men can't see the open road.
Many is a word that only leaves you guessing
Guessing 'bout a thing you really ought to know, ooh!
You really ought to know...

Kodachrome

Music: Silence

My friend did not show up at work tongiht.
I was sad, but I also understand.
Her family (mostly her good for nothing sister) seems to have some sort of monopoly over her. Poor kid. She can't do anything she wants to do because her sister is dragging her along everywhere to everything.
Or so I have been led to believe...

I Said Hello Mary Lou Goodbye Heart

I don't belive I have mentioned my friend who is in the Army too much around here.
I was going to go on and on about her, but I realized I have not seen her for just under 11 months, spoken to her for just over 10 months, or heard from her period for 8 months.
Rumor has it, I will get to see her tomorrow, so I will elaborate upon it further then.
I just hope everything winds up being just as it was.
If so, you will get one very happy Gale. Something you have really not gotten to see around the LJ.
Read through the DL one, I think there is some happiness in that, but don't hold me to it.

I’m Having A Nervous Breakdown

Couple of other things tonight--
I have not been getting my Fridays off, therefore, I am in lots of pain from not having the day to rest after unloading the truck at work.
Contributes to the "Gale is cranky and in pain for like 4 days as opposed to 1 day where Gale can mull about in bed most of said day" category
Next thing--
That made no sense whatsoever
Last thing--

The Evil Criminal Test
Congratulations, you're Henry Kissinger!
Widely viewed as an unindicted terrorist, only Pol Pot rivals you for being responsible for the most deaths of innocent people in South East Asia. You, in collaboration with the Nixon administration, helped put General Pinochet in power and kill Salvador Allende. You also helped coordinate the secret bombing of Cambodia.
And despite all that, you won a Nobel Peace Prize - for your work in Vietnam.
If you wish, you can proudly tell the world that you are a murderous bastard with the following fine graphic:

I’m Not Drunk, I’m Just Drinking

God that was great. Alcohol works wonders for stress. I am not condoning the whole drinking on the job thing, but tonight, that stuff was a Godsend.
Thank you!
Granted, it resulted in my being like half drunk for most of the night, but hey, I ain't arguing.
I also forgot how great black coffee is.

Hmm...
Six things for you tonight:
1 - There is Gale hair all over the keyboard. I have rather a lot of it, so it tends to pull out when I run my hands through it like i have spent the last 10 minutes doing
2 - I must go and sell my soul to fast food hell once again tomorrow
3 - "The Adventures of the Stainless Steel Rat" is an awesome book!
4 - I still want a kitty hat
9 - I can't believe you got this far

Ordinary Paper Napkin (referred to as OPN from this point forth): Hello, I am an Ordinary Paper Napkin. Sitting here with me is Gale. Gale has agreed to spend some time talking to us tonight. So, Gale, how are you on this fine and wonderful evening?
Gale (referred to as Gale from this point forth): Quite crummy right now, thank you.
OPN: Would it be wrong of me to ask why you are feeling like you presently do?
Gale: Normally I would shun such questions, but I will make an exception for you.
OPN: Wow! That is so kind of you!
Gale: I have gotten roughly eight hours of good quality sleeptime in the last 3 days.
OPN: Ouch. I know how that goes!
Gale: Also the stress of working yourself to death in a crummy low-paying dead end job does not help matters.
OPN: I owe my very existance to some crummy low-paying dead end job somewhere, but I can and often do sympathize with those who are forced to work said jobs.
Gale: Thanks. You don't know how much that means to me.
OPN: We are here tonight becuase you have something important to say to the world. Is that correct?
Gale: Yes. Yes it is.
OPN: Well, Let's hear it!
Gale: *keels over and passes out due to exhaustion and fatigue
OPN: Well. That was certainly an interesting turn of events.
Gale is now known as Animate Corpse
Animate Corpse (referred to as AC from this point forth): Yes. That was quite unexpected. Anyway, as we were saying before.
OPN: Are you sure you are okay to go on with this charade?
AC: I have been through worse.
OPN: All righty then. Carry on if you wish.
AC: I would like to apolgize to those of you whom I will most probably not be speaking with tonight. Due to certain unforseen events, I am really not capable to hang about and say or do anything worth anyone's while.
OPN: That is quite depressing.
AC: I am not done yet. Shut up!
OPN: Right. Shutting up now.
AC: Good. Now, as I was saying. Being as I am, I feel really bad. I got my happy little self sent home early from work tonight for a reason. This kid is dead to the world. I apologize for the inconvience. I might very well get up and hop on here extremely early in the morning though. We shall see.
OPN: Are you done babbling yet?
AC: Almost. I also need to make one more thing clear.
OPN: What, pray tell is that?
AC: I have no problems using your super extra absorbent self to go and wipe up the pot of coffee I might just have to throw at you if you don't shut up.
OPN: Okay....umm...
AC: What?
OPN: I think that on that note, we shall call it a night.
OPN: Goodnight everybody!

couple of things
1.  just finished wizard and glass

3.  i think i finally have a reason to get my happy self out of fast food hell.   tee hee!

Do You Take Sugar? One Lump Or Two?

Original Title: "Today was really awful."

Music: Page & Plant ~ Ramble On

Today was really awful.
I got out of bed really late because my alarm clock has broken and I cannot afford a new one at the moment. I'm so poor, I can't even afford to pay attention!
Well, on a lighter note, I feel unusual because my antidepressants are making me hairy. The doctor says it is just a side effect, and that it should go away on it's own in a few days, but I feel really dirty. Also, it takes like 3 hours to shower now.
Lather.
Rinse.
Repeat.
The water gets so cold so fast!
Also, I'm so hardcore. Me and Buzz went to the mall today, and I stole a whole heap of stuff. I got a ZZ Top CD, a couple of DVDs and some new boots. Buzz managed to get his dumb self caught, but he fought his way out, like the idiot that he is. So as to make our getaway successful we jacked some old blind lady's car. Buzz smashed it into a phone booth twenty feet away.
That idiot.
Last night I had to go and pay Joshua's bail. He's such a raging alcoholic. He's also a jerk. He got arrested for punching the Walmart clerk in the face for refusing to sell him beer. He's only 16! Not that that really matters where we're from. That kid's been drinking since he was four, and I'm not too far behind.
I want to tell the world that I love you all! You're all so special to me! Maybe you will all die a terrible horrible death while you are at it. Just wanted you all to know that I love you all!
I am updating this journal for the first time in ages, because I've been in prison. Honestly, Johnny Cash should have a disclaimer on that cd.
Note to self...Killing a man in Reno just to watch him die falls into the bad things category...
Today, I got a digital camera! Yes! I'm so ugly. Don't look at my photos pleeeeeze. Not that that really matters. All I have right now are about 78 poorly taken pics of my kitten!
Isn't she soooooooo cute?
*Glares*
Well, isn't she??
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. Ah well, I while away my spare time working on that little gem of a problem.
I got some good news for you:
I went to the doctor yesterday, and he said I have bipolar disorder. That is reputed to run in my family. But I did not go for that. My imagination was not feeling too good, but he said that I have a healthy imagination, so all was right and proper with the world again!
Go me! ;)
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. The amazing part is just how simple it really is. It takes anything you enter, copies it into the output fields, and then just gives a static "You're some sort of moron!" message.
I wish I had been clever enough to design something like that. Ah well :'(
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.

I’m My Own Grandpa!

Music: REO Speedwagon/Styx - Blue Collar Man [Live]
This chick I work with (ghetto/dirty ashley she's both), is involved with this guy. That would not be a problem, but for the fact that she's 16, this guy's 21. There again, who am I to complain? I was seeing someone who was 23 when I was 16.

My issue with this whole thing is this:

Her mom is getting married. The guy her mom is marrying is the uncle of this guy she is seeing.

That would, theoretically, make the two of them cousins, and the guy's uncle would be both uncle and father in-law.

I don't think marrying your cousin is legal here though.

Just something to dwell upon for a bit

hey fellas have you heard the news?
annie's back in town
won't take long, just watch and see
all the fellas lay their money down
style is new, but the face is the same
as it was so long ago
from her eyes a different smile
like that of one who knows
been ten years, maybe more
since i first set eyes on you
the best years of our lives go by
we're ever alone and blue
some people cry and some people die
by the wicked ways of love
i'll just keep on rolling along
with the grace from the lord above
people talking all about
about the way you left me flat
i don't care what the people say
i know where their jive is at
one thing i do have on my mind
clarify please do
is why you're calling me another guy's name
when i try to make love
work so hard i can't unwind
get some money saved
abused my love a thousand times
however hard i try
heartbreaker, your time has come
can't take your evil ways
go away heartbreaker
heartbreaker
heartbreaker
heart!
gots to love that one
you must. because i say so!
obey your overlord!
haha!
