May 17th 2004 - Grrr... Have you ever done something really really stupid? I mean, DUMB stupid. I have! Often regularly, but nothing this bad.. geez I'm a moron. Okay so two days ago I was taking a nap because I was bored out of my mind, and when I wake up I see that my brother is in the living room and he's taking a nap too. So whatever. Then a rather hasty knock arrives at our door and I open it to see an elderly gentleman who then says that he's trying to run for independent representative of some district for Missouri and he needs 300 signatures to do so. Well my dumb-ass just goes right ahead and says sure, that I'll sign his petition and I do so. No questions asked because inherently I felt that everyone should be able to run for something or other. I don't know, it just seemed fair at the time. Then he gives me a little something he typed up so I know what he stands for and OH MY GOD!!! I discovered that the elderly gentleman was in fact the ANTI-CHRIST and stood for everything that was against my entire BEING!! The whole sheet went onto talk about how even Republicans weren't right-wing enough and that he was the guy who needed to make a stand. The last part dictated "the five non-negotiable issues because they concern actions that are morally wrong and contrary to the common good and must never be promoted by the law" Those five things were: abortion, euthanasia, fetal stem cell research, human cloning, and homosexual marriage. !!!! WTF??! I seriously wish I could go back in time and kick him in the teeth for even knocking on my door. I felt, and STILL feel so dumb for signing without asking for what he stood for. :[ My brother tried to reassure me that independents never win anything and my friends said the same thing, but they definitely berated me a little for signing without asking for what he stood for. So here and now I vow to myself that I will NEVER sign any petition ever again, and if I feel the need to do so, it will only be for a very very good cause that I firmly believe in. But chances are I'm just not going to sign any petition again. I seriously feel like a clod, and this really almost ties into Eric's claim that I'm like the gay Blade because I signed this (i.e. I'm gay but I seem to hate gay people [which isn't necessarily true]). I can only hope that my punishment for doing so was delivered to me today where I went into work (YAY) for an hour and a half and dumped large quantities of 50 pound bags of chemicals into the pool, which the bags happened to be (upon later inspection) covered in rat droppings and possibly urine. And we were carrying these things with our bare arms and it was just disgusting. I went home and immediately had to take a shower and felt like I wanted to burn a couple of flesh layers off, which I also could have done because they poured muriatic acid into the pool as well. Ooo weee, fun stuff I hear. Other than that I've just been playing (and beating) La Pucelle: Tactics and watching anime from a site my brother told me about called KragaMuffin.com. It's awesome and I'm tempted to give them money because they rock so hard. As for La Pucelle,.. eh.. it was okay. The story and character development were superior to Disgaea in many ways, but since it was made before it I understand that of course it can't be a better game. The lack of multiple endings and a bunch of other stuff left it to be desired. When I compare 130 hours in Disgaea to about only 40 in La Pucelle, it's just disappointing. Still a great game though! (even if the English voice acting could be a little less annoying). K, well that's all for me. If I happen to contract the bubonic plague or something, I'll be sure to let you know. Oh, and if you're wondering what happened to Eric, well.... can't tell you cuz I don't know either. - chris
"Ah good, we finally found something that eats through human flesh." - a co-worker" -- May 14th 2004 - w00t! I'm done with school for the semester finally. I hope I get some good grades, cuz I needs some of those. In other news, I went and saw Van Helsing with my brother last night and .. uh... it's dumb as f-k! I mean for real, it's like they took the idea of Van Helsing the great vampire hunter and ran with it... and then kept on running with it through the Gobi desert with no water... and then they kicked a camel, while still running... till it collapsed in a heap of its own filth which then disolved its flesh till no longer recognizable - then made a movie about it! I think I'm being a little generous though, what can I say, it's a flaw. Okay so I'll say that a couple of the backgrounds might have looked cool, but I don't go to movies to see picturesque backdrops. Granted I'm not the authority on Van Helsing (not the movie) but since when did he start fighting EVERYONE!?! Did the directors just sit back and say .. "hm.. he's done the dracula thing before... A HA, but not when there's Mr. Hyde/Dr. Jekyle and the wolfman.. and OO OOO! Frankenstein's monster! YES! Oh, and can't forget Egor. Hm... but something's missing... AH yes... MIDGETS!! Diabolical evil fiends they are!" First off, Dracula was a flaming homosexual and probably would have gotten it on with Dr. Frankenstein had he not inadvertantly been killed in a freak windmill accident. Seriously, apart from the time that Dracula was 'actually' set on fire, he was flaming! The way he walked and sort of twirled every once in a while and moved his hand.. geez! Oh, and lets talk about that hair for a second. It's bad enough he has midevil scrunchie/clippy to keep his hair back, but he decides it's a good idea to have two long locks of hair in his face? That's just not cute at all, but I guess he was trying to make a fashion statement for the 1400's or whenever this movie decided to be set. Next, of course his "brides" (HA!) must have been total fag hags, why else would they be fawning over him so much, it's not because he's charming! And I seriously have an issue with the fact that they were really more Harpy than vampire woman AND they talked and cackled WAY too freaking much! Just have a f-king pillow fight and a sleepover and get it over with you freaky Harpy bitches. Moving on. Far be it from me to not want to break the stereotype that Frankenstein's monster barely spoke any language at all let alone "Fire bad!", but since WHEN THE F-K did he become a Witness for our Lord Jesus Christ and get a Shakespeare accent!? I thought he was going to bust out in soliloquy any minute! I'm not even going to comment on the dumb "Order" in Rome that keeps the peace and is the "last defense against.." boring me out of my mind!! As my brother pointed out, Van Helsing's friar sidekick was sort of like Q from the Bond movies, always seeming to have exactly what Bond needs. "Oh what, Harpy bitches you say? Oh, here's seventy rounds of a semi-automatic crossbow that I happen to keep in my friar's cloak! Huh? Werewolf? Have a large box filled with silver bullets that I happen to keep on my person for such an occasion!" I know he was put there for mild comic relief, but really, the whole MOVIE is that and it does a horrible job anyhow. I also will not be speaking about Dracula's evil minions of armor plated oompaloompas because they speak for themselves. Lets see... what could I be missing?... OH YEAH!! I love a good coincidental happening as much as the next guy, but this movie made a gross overuse of "AHHHH I'm falling to my death!! Oooo, conveniently placed rope for me to grab onto in the void of nothing but air! .. Crap my only rope has broken and I'm falling to my death again!! .. Oooo, another rope! My lucky day! AHHHH!! It broke again!! ... Thank God there's that OTHER rope I can grab onto luckily in my path of falling to my demise." X 7 !! And let us not forget when the last said rope is broken and they 'don't' happen to let go, they are swung countless feet, unfearingly, into a completely random window that happens to be the room where main lady is being attacked by a harpy bitch. Wow, talk about awkward. Last but not least, I don't really care all that much for .. I can't remember her name right now, but the main lady vampire hunter.. yeah, I don't care that she's attractive because people who defy all laws of physics and gravity just turn me off. Did her father rape a cat or something? Because the amount of crazy ass flips, climbs, flips, and falling, and then somehow landing on your sexy highheels like nothing had happened is just demonic to me. I also love how everyone in the movie dresses pretty shabby, minus Van Helsing who dresses like a rogue cowboy biker, but sexy highheel lady still finds the time to have a very tight and revealing outfit to fight the forces of darkness in while not forgetting to use shampoo and conditioner for her long dark hair which is never out of place. Oh! hahah, I almost completely forgot to talk about the tardness of the ending! It's no surprise that sexy highheel lady dies at the end because come on, wearing that outfit she's just asking to be mauled by a werewolf. BUT they couldn't leave that alone, they had to A) burn her WHILE looking fantastic on an alter-grave by the sea (cuz she'd never seen it, awwww), and B) have her body consumed smoke whips turn into her visage in the sky with all her kin going to heaven finally.. oh and can't forget that TEAR she cries to good ol' Van right before entering the nimbus clouds, or stratus clouds I don't remember, of Heaven. .. Sooo, if you absolutely MUST see this movie, by all means see it at a Matinee because after paying only 6.50 for this god awful movie, I wanted to mind incap people so much it hurt. - chris "Oh come on, it was obvious that Dracula was having sham marriages!" -- May 6th 2004 - Okay, so I either had some serious divine intervention or I created my own reality because yesterday was so cool!! So I had been working on my database project ever since I made the post on the 2nd and I had just been dreading the 10 minute presentation that I was going to have to do yesterday. I was throwing crap together at the last minute and I still had no freaking clue what I was going to talk about. Then at the last minute I decided that I just wasn't going to do the presentation part because it wasn't that many points and I just really really suck at talking infront of class. Well, I get to school and there's a couple people from class infront of the door and they said that it was locked and the lights were out. This is because we switched our presentation day to the school's normal "independent study" day and no classes were supposed to be in session. So we figure we'll just wait for the teacher to get there and we'd do our presentations. He was late by like 10 minutes and when he got there he was surprised to find the door locked too! All he would have had to do was call up to someone in the office and tell them we needed to use the room but he just kind of had this "Oh.. what do we do then?" look on his face. Thankfully someone suggested "Can we just give you our projects, skip the presentation, and we'll see you next week for the final?" and he says "Hm.. okay that'll work." So I IMMEDIATELY drop my bag, get my project out and hand it to him and leave. I could not even believe that the one thing I wanted to happen actually did! I wasn't going to do my presentation anyhow, but this way was even better because no one had to do them (cuz they're STUPID!!) and I didn't have to make up some excuse or something. Personally I don't think we should have had to do a presentation anyway because our teacher STILL hasn't graded our freaking midterms, which were ... I don't know... a month and a half ago!! None of us know how we're doing in this class.. it's sort of like none of us are actually IN it, we're just being taught by some bum on the street who found an open room and happens to know how to work the school's computers and Access and SQL. Either way, I was extremely happy. So now I just have to do the final in my Organizational Behavior class, and the Database Management class. I ended up getting a C in my Econ class which I was ALSO super happy about because that one was a toss-up on whether or not I was going to fail or not. I can't wait to get my freaking degree in a year or something.. sigh. And I'm still trying to find a place to live, and people to move in with. It's not really as easy as I would have thought. I may have found ONE person to live with,.. Kim's exgirlfriend Michelle who is pretty cool and I just found out she loves videogames. =] I'm trying to get her to like RPG's and I lent her a bunch of them. I hope she plays them. K, well I'm hungry and I'm also going to try and get a videogame like I tried to do yesterday but the date was pushed back. Stupid developers. In other news, my friend Rachel whom I haven't seen in quite some time hung out with me yesterday too because she also wanted my help with making a webpage for class and RealTV was on. There was this dumb ass guy who was being "chased by a bear" in the forest and he was running away. Except he was "running away" backwards while videotaping the bear "chasing after" him. I do the quotes because that's not what was happening at all. There was this bear, not even a BIG bear, sort of walking towards the guy who is FREAKING out while taping the bear and he's screaming and making all kinds of loud noises, while he's walking backward and shaking the camera. The bear is just sort of looking at other things, climbing a tree for a second, and not even caring about the guy, except the guy keeps yelling at the bear and then the bear might start to walk towards him. I swear, the guy wasn't "running" at all. He was actually staying pretty freaking still when the bear lost interest and he COULD have gotten away if he ran OR had he actually been chased by a bear. I couldn't believe they were even showing the damned footage because it was so dumb. So Rachel and I thought up how funny it would be if Teddy Rukspin were "chasing" after the same guy and someone would like THROW Teddy closer to him. It was funny. - chris "Will you read a book with me? - teddy rukspin
NOO NOOOOOooo get away!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH! BEAR!!! - some freaky hunter guy video taping a bear chasing him
Will you be my friend? - teddy rukspin"
-- May 2nd 2004 - Ooooo WEEEEE!!! Who's not working on his super huge database management project due in three days? It might possibly could be me. I have had so much fun in the past couple of days it's not even funny, even if some crappy shit happened to other people. Isn't there a rule out there that guys just don't hit women? Yeah, I think there is. Guys who hit women are f-ktard losers. That's what the rule should say. Anyway, beside that,.. I'm going to sound like a complete hypocrite because I've totally actually done this.. but I've only done it ONCE and I learned my lesson! Plus there were other circumstances involved. Well the other night, Liz and I were driving to get said girl whom f-ktard loser guy had beat up, (he's in one of the pictures in the pictures section but I shall be x-ing him out of them), and there was this guy behind us who decided that even though we were going OVER the speed limit, he was going to pass us. It turns out that just in that moment, some cars were parked to the side so he couldn't do it, SOoooo I slowed down. ;] When we got on a larger, but still one laned street, he gunned his car to like 50 and sped around us. I just wasn't having that, so I gunned MY car and got all up on his ass. It was a Ford f-ing Focus and it was some dumbass guy and some girl and they were from Illinois. Liz was all shocked that I sped up to get on their ass and I was like "ah whatever.." and she suggested we stalk them, so we did! =D It was pretty fun, except that Liz was deciding to listen to Kylie Minogue really loud... and that just takes the vengence out of most stalkings. But whatever, these people were clods and the girl in the passenger seat kept sticking her hand out the window and twirling it like she was catching the breeze and had no care in the world. Now THAT got me going.. how are you going to cut someone off, be an asshole, and then when those people are stalking you you decide you're on a roman holiday or something. So we started shining my brights at them and riding their ass and .. well that's all we really could do.. but eventually they must have thought I was serious because they started to try and get away from us, HAHAHAhahh... to no avail. It was only funny because they were from Illinois and they started making all kinds of turns on streets to get away from us and we were right there behind them. So eventually I figured they had enough, at the protest of liz who still wanted me to stalk them more, and I let them go. My hope is that they got really freaking lost. Liz hopes it was the guy's first date with that girl and she's never going to go out with him again. ;] Okay, so whatever that I actually did the same thing to another guy, BUT HE was actually NOT going the speed limit, and he did the exact same thing and stalked ME! Plus he was cursing and shaking his fist at us.. obviously he was much better at stalking people than I was. Either way, I haven't cut anyone off since then, and maybe now these people won't do it either. You just never know who might decide to have some fun and stalk you, OR they could actually be crazy and then shoot you like those people from Texas I heard about who shot the people who cut them off. - chris "I'm not afraid of clowns. Only when they start killing people." -- |
