Rant: Just read the story of a black transgendered lady who was attacked by a guy with a swastika tattoo on his chest, grabbed scissors out of her purse and her attacker died in the fight. She's just pled out to 3 and a quarter years, because she has a petty criminal record, the swastika wasn't allowed to be mentioned in her defense because it would be predjudicial and the likely outcome of a self defense claim was 40 years in jail. Fuck humanity. Fuck the judge ruling on that bullshit case and fuck the asshole who died. If you have a swastika tattooed on your chest and a black queer kills you, it's you're own fucking fault. And the jury should be able to know that you were asking for it. It's not prejudicial. It's clear evidence that any fucking ethnic or sexual minority member who you encounter should fear for their fucking life and respond with whatever weapons they have available. Fuck.
Rant: You know those days you wake up and you're just...in...a BAD...mood? Today. And then reading Scootah's post ^^^ made it worse. I'm in a fuck everything kind of mood. Hate all the things.
Rave: Currently sitting in the San Francisco Airport waiting for my flight New Orleans. Any suggestions about cool places to check out or get food? Really want some legit southern cooking.
Small rave?: I saw Slap Shot for the first time this afternoon. The scenes with the pregame fight and ensuing National Anthem were the funniest 90 seconds I've ever seen in a movie before.
RAVE: Finally getting out of this little town and moving to Vancouver tomorrow. This will be the first time in my adult life (I'm 25) that I will be living exactly where I want, and will be working towards something concrete career wise. I've been drifting for the last few years trying to figure out what I want to do, and damn it feels good to have things somewhat sorted out. RANT: The next couple days are going to be stressful, moving sucks.
Ra... : If I believe my physio, in 90 minutes I will have a definitive answer as to whether I can go on my trip or not. I feel like I should be able to go, but I'm not sure if I'm just stoking the fires of false hope for extra devastation. .... Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go watch puppy videos for 90 minutes to keep my manic-ness down. Manic-ness isn't a word, but OH GOD I CAN"T TAKE THE FUCKING LIMBO ANYMORE JUST GIVE ME AN ANSWER SO I CAN PLAN ACCORDINGLY.
RANT: I've had like a 2 week string of workouts where I walk out of the gym feeling irritated with myself. I hate this feeling.
RAVE: Met a really cool girl last night, hung out with her again tonight. Good initial feeling about her. Rant: Major fucking week coming up, lots of flight prep, lots of work, lots of planning. Rave: Let's get some shit done, get me qual'd up before I chop for the deployment.
Rant: Been up until 4 AM with the baby for the past 5 nights, so my wife can get some extra sleep. This is a double rant because: 1) I wanted to go to bed early last night, but my body was all "go fuck yourself, I ain't sleeping!" and 2) My wife basically refuses to return the favor for me and let me sleep a bit extra before I go to work today. I'm just hoping to avoid murder charges today. Rave: Baby is sleeping better since her medication stopped. She wasn't sleeping at night because her medication was giving her an upset stomach, so now that she's done with it, she is sleeping for about 3 hours at a time again. Rave: Lots of gaming time in those late nights.
Rave: Just bought Rush tickets. October 10th at the Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport. Honestly, I think this is the first time that "rush" isn't actually describing the way you're leaving the city.
Rave: having sex in Taiwan is officially off the bucket list. Rave: having sex in China will be off the bucket list in a couple hours. Japan in less than a week. Rave: the great wall is just.. Wow. Rave: as anti marriage as I've made myself to be on here, asking her dad for permission in person in Asia (they aren't Asian but I wanted to run it by him first) made me feel really fucking awesome. Rant: jet lag on the way back is coming to a theater near me.
Rant: Oh sure phone, be on silent when SNL pushes to earlier and wake up to 17 missed calls and now spending Friday not working. AWESOME
Adam Yauch, dead at 47. What is it with these recent deaths of celebrities that I'm not really connected to, and don't follow, but whose deaths bums me out?
Rant:For the 4th year in a row, my father and his wife have not acknowledged my wife's birthday. I mean, last year, they said "sorry, here is a check for it, and your anniversary" But come on. Jägerette doesn't want anything. Just an acknowledgement of her birthday from them. They go on and on about how glad they are to have her in the family, but not even a happy fucking birthday?
Big Fuckin' RAVE: A couple of months ago, I began to self-publish erotic short stories and today I got my first royalty check. I just keep staring at it in total disbelief. I can't believe I get paid to do this.
