Advice needed

2008-10-09T15:55:10Z

Ok, I really need advice.

After screeming, repeadedly, at someone that you don't love them, that yu haven't had feelings for them for quite a long time, WHAT possible logic would you have for sleeping in the same bed with them?

Chris slept in the bed last night. He didn't even tell me I was taking the couch, I had to find that out when I went to bed at 2:30.

Really, WHY, would you want to sleep in the same bead with someone you keep telling you have no feelings for? Either chris need to stop denying he still has feeling for katie and go from there, or I need to beat hime senseless or have him reported for wife stealing. I have no problem sharing katie with chris if he cares for her but he keeps telling her he has no feelings for her.

Of course I can't tell him to get a brain, I need to simmer in quiet until I have yet another mental breakdown. Kim told me to talk about about my feelings, not to hold things in. Of course, when I snap at her and TRY to explain how she's driving me crazy she twists my words and decided I was only her friend for the sex.

Bitch.

To take the comment that started a war and twist it slightly:

"What kind of a man sleeps with another man's wife. When he keeps telling her he has no feelings for her?"

Fucking mother fucker shit fuck. I'm very, very pissed and I wish I could actually yell at a person and not have it blow up in my face.

My head is swimming. I want so much to type, to get it all out and relax, but it's not gonna happen. Nothing bad, just thoughts. I need a brain dump and I'm long overdue.

I'm not at work because my body won. I've been fighting being sick for...all this month, today it just wasn't gonna work with work. I really wish I had another full day of sick time for tomorrow, but I don't. I also wish I could have saved my sick time. Ah well, I'll try again next month.

So many projects I want to sick down and write, but I really don't have a good place to program. Honestly, I don't like my desk. I lighting is bad and I dislike the screen. To many distractions. I'd program late at night like I used to but everybody stays up later then me.

Edit: Note the typo. The word should be sit, but we can tell what's on my mind :-/

Ok, so I can't post on PI, caftfights is down...that leaves LJ

I really hate all the hype about September eleventh two thousand and one. I understand that people lost family and friends in the events, you are allowed to grieve (to a point). It's the rest of you, little kids and teens who need to shut up. It didn't affect you other then what you were taught. I but nobody taught you WHY the people did what they did. Even if you don't think it was a good reason there was one and it's a good leson that this government chooses to not care about.

The fact that you think you have the right to tell someone they have been living under a rock for not knowing why you are obsessing over today and treat them like a cold-hearted slug if they do not care is dispicable. There is no reason that everybody should care. None.

In regards to those that died, and this goes for all death, I'm confussed. I don't have an argument for other religions, but if you are a Christian™ you should be happy. Your friends and family were Christians, right? Lives on this sinful earth cut short? Now are in heaven? Happy? Then why aren't you?

Yah, this post will probably upset people. That's the way it goes.

Dear Bitch

2008-09-05T22:20:59Z

No, you are the self-centered controlling manipilive bitch. Not katie. Chris still loves Katie and you are the ONLY person having an issue with this. STOP ATTACKING KATIE, because she HAS not attacked you AT ALL. You keeps telling you that she doesn't like your actions, you attack her as a person. You are soo fucking abbsessed with your fucking dreams and wedding that you doesn'y think about others. It's too bad that chris has no brain and you have to take control for what's best for him. Chris has repeatedly said he doesn't know and he still loves katie. why the hell would he keep fucking her if he doesn't love her. You are the person who keeps trying to make up his mind, who keeps pestering him until he answers the way you want.

Katie us happy with whatever chris wants. it may not be what she wants, but has and will support him. YOU will not. it's either what you want or nothing.

grow fucking up baby and think of someone else for a change. you want me to not hold things in? you want me to talk, to tell people when I want to rip them a new one? You asked for this, you want to know how I feel. It's better for me. thank you for teaching me to talk. to not bottle things up. other then the snugglings that's probably the only good thing I have got out of meeting you. i'm sure after this you won't be able to stay friends, and you sure as hell won't want to play and have fun, but in spite of this I still want to be your friend. I just need YOU to change, not chris, and I don't think you can. so PLLLLLLLLLLBBBBBBBTTTT!

I hate people

2008-09-05T22:04:04Z

People are the most fucking selfish, inconsiderant self-center assholes. Sadly me me, the more of a just and a self-centered asshole you are the more you get ahead and get what you want. Nice people get screwed. Period

I wish I wasn't so jaded. I wish I was the same kid who flunked his college entrance exam because he couldn't think of anything when given the topic "life is unfair, write why you feel this way", but i'm not. Every asshole and self-centered person I have ever met has gotten ahead, gotten rewarded, gotten promoted, gotten happy. Nice people? Nice people get screwed or ignored. Both in my case. The worst part? As a christian you would diing would be the answer because then you got to heaven. Who in their right mind want to be God's suck-up for the rest of existance?

Christians use it as an excuse to be asses. Not all, because I think I still have a few here who aren't, but if you aren't a complete asshole you get shat on.

I hate people, and no, anybody who wants to ask what got me so pissed off probably will not get an answer. Because no matter how much you deserve one I'm not a brave enough asshole to dilberatly hurt others feelings. I hope I am someday. People need to be bitch-slapped (both genders) and the only way I will ever get ahead in this fucking world is if I face my fears, stop caring about others, and become an asshole. Until then I'll just watch my brain rot and my mind go.

I love you Katie.

Google just released their own new brower called Google Chrome. Its based on open-source web bits and more technicial details can by located at http://code.google.com/chromium/

Things I need

2008-08-15T23:49:49Z

Things I need

A fast chatter/drop box that gets either filed or posted, usually both.

A web programming IDE

A master TODO database, probably linked to the drop box

A command center, with the database and other stuff.

Sure, we could say that I have too much stuff, but the fact that I STILL don't have a good fileing system, online or offline is why I have information overload. It's burning me out.

I need the ability to take all my delicious links and inbox them.

FIFO

How do I FIFO my mind?

How do I FIFO my life?

FIFO stands for First In, First Out. The first thing in to the system is the first think that gets processed.

Rant board, where are you?

Since this is now public beyond belief...

Person A runs a site.
Person B was a mod on that site
Person C is not a mod on that site.

Person B turns their account over to to Person C while that account was still fully equiped with moderator access. Moderators have powers that normal users do not. Admins such as Person A talk to moderators such as Person B about things that normal users, such as Person C do not need to know about.

Person C did the right thing initally and did not access the former account of Person B until the mod access was removed. Person A was grateful and thanked Person C. However, due to either the breaking of the rules by giving Person C the moded account, or something else, Person A became unhappy and banned Person B for a very long time. This angered Person B and so they told Person C that they could publicaly post messages between Person A and Person B that remained in Person B's old account.....

You know what? Fuck it! Fuck you Person C and your fan base. The work I do to try to explaon comment sense and logic just is not worth it. Do you have any bloody clue how hard it is to NOT name names and tell people exactly what I think of them? Of course not, because it's far easier to name call, make up words, and lambaste others. Fucking idjits.

Letter from my mom

I received the following letter from my mom today.

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

Dear Joe -

I've always admired your self-directed learning style, the knowledge and skills you've aquired on your own, and you willingness to help anyone you can with their computer problems. You deserve the best! And you owe it to yourself and Katie to be justly compensated for the work you do.

You are well qualified for the jobs Dad told you about with the Federal Government. They're local, pay $50-60,000 / yr. with full benifits, and don't even require a college degree. This could be a great opportunity.

But Dad says he still hasn't received a copy of your resume. Did you send it? If not, and you're sincerely interested in the jobs Dad told you about, please e-mail it to _____________ right away.

Love ya! Mom

Tales of the sheep

2008-02-11T18:18:47Z

Protect the minds of the young sheep therefore, and remove all that may taint them. Be ye still then sheep and obey the Ones, for they know ye best and do ye good.

And it went out, that the Keepers looked and lo! a sheep was found looking at the grass before eating.

And the Keepers saw this and were afraid.

And the Keepers went to the ones and said `There is a sheep who looks before feeding, what should we do?`

The Ones spake; `If the sheep looks before feeding it is aware, it is thinking. Take the sheep and bring it before us.` So the Keepers went on and clave the sheep from the herd, and brought it before the Ones.

The Ones looked at the sheep from their Seat and spake; `Sheep, why do you look at the grass before eating?`

The sheep answered `The other sheep poop in the grass as they feed and I look to make sure I do not eat that poop`

The Ones looked at the sheep `The other sheep eat the grass and do not worry about the poop, why do not you?`

The sheep replied `The other sheep are often ill, I wish to be a strong and Useful sheep.`

The Ones trembled that the sheep was thinking thus and said `In so thinking before eating you eat less and have become weak. You must come with us and eat of only the best grass we have to offer.`

The sheep went with the Ones and ate of the Special Grass. Quickly then did the sheep became calm and peaceful. The Ones smiled and all was well again.

MULTIPLATINUM ROCK ACTS SLIPKNOT AND DISTURBED TO TOP THE BILL ON THE FIRST ANNUAL ROCKSTAR ENERGY MAYHEM FESTIVAL

MAYHEM FESTIVAL PRESENTED BY

VAN’S WARPED TOUR/ROCKSTAR TASTE OF CHAOS FOUNDERS IN ASSOCIATION WITH LIVE NATION

ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK IS THE TITLE SPONSOR

FUSE-TV AND REVOLVER MAGAZINE ANNOUNCED AS MEDIA PARTNERS;

JÄGERMEISTER ON BOARD AS STAGE SPONSOR

TOUR TO KICK OFF JULY 9 IN SEATTLE

BURBANK, CA (January 31, 2008) – In what’s sure to be the hottest concert ticket of the summer, multi-platinum rock acts SLIPKNOT and DISTURBED will lead the first-ever ROCKSTAR ENERGY MAYHEM FESTIVAL, a riotous road show packed with some of hard music’s most influential artists and a plethora of the genre’s most exciting young voices. The tour is set to kick off July 9th at the White River Amphitheatre in Seattle and will hit 30 cities in the U.S. and Canada between early July and late August (a full itinerary will be announced in the coming weeks).

Joining Slipknot and Disturbed on the main stage will be DRAGONFORCE and MASTODON. In addition, the tour will have two second stages: one sponsored by JÄGERMEISTER and featuring SEVENDUST, AIRBOURNE, FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH, 36 CRAZY FISTS and the JÄGERMEISTER Battle of The Bands Winner. An additional second stage will feature MACHINEHEAD, BLACK TIDE, SUICIDE SILENCE, THE RED CHORD and WALLS OF JERICHO.

“This summer we are truly bringing Mayhem,” says Corey Taylor from SLIPKNOT, who will close each show. “SLIPKNOT is excited to be a part of it, and to be able to bring the new chapter of our history to the masses. We are already working, building and designing a new show. We cannot wait. We cannot lose. Get ready for Mayhem!”

“We’re really looking forward to being on the first Mayhem tour,” adds DISTURBED vocalist David Draiman. “It’s a great lineup, which should set a new standard for rock tours and we’re excited to be a part of it!”

Adds Clown from SLIPKNOT, “The question is, are you ready for things to be real again?”

The Rockstar Energy Mayhem festival brings together the creative team that has founded many music tours including the highly successful Vans Warped Tour and the Worldwide Rockstar Taste of Chaos Tour. Kevin Lyman, John Reese and CAA’s Darryl Eaton have partnered again to bring fans the next great music festival juggernaut, which will be MAYHEM! Following the proven model of utilizing sponsorship to deliver a lower ticket price and an enhanced concert experience the tour organizers have joined forces again with ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK as the Title sponsor.

Live Nation is set to promote the festival nationally.

Jason Garner, Live Nation’s CEO of North American Music said, “Kevin, John and Darryl are the undisputed experts in creating fan friendly touring festivals that break new bands. So it’s very exciting for us to be working closely with them to build a new touring brand that can not only be a great attraction for hard music fans, but also a launching pad for new bands as well.”

“We wanted to create a traveling hard music festival that puts the fans first,” says Lyman. “We’re offering attendees an incredible value, one that features great bands, a plethora of music-related activities and a full day of fun at a very reasonable price of entry.”

Adds Reese, “The Vans Warped Tour and Rockstar Taste of Chaos tours have proven that fans will come in droves if you give them quality entertainment at a fair price. The bands on this Festival all kick major ass! We want attendees to go home and say, ‘We can’t wait for next year!’"

In addition to catching their favorite bands live, fans can take part in a number of festival activities, including playing the newest video games, perusing vendors, attending autograph signing sessions and a slew of other interactive activities that will add to the festival experience.

ROCKSTAR ENERGY DRINK will be sampling their products and providing great surprises for attendees. Additional sponsors include Jägermeister, HOT TOPIC and The DiNGSTORE.com (Device Personalization Company).

FUSE Television and Revolver Magazine (who will produce the Official Tour Program) have signed on as official Rockstar Energy Mayhem Festival media partners. Additional sponsors will be announced soon.

“This festival will be our marquee music presentation for years to come,” says Rockstar Energy Drink Marketing Director Mike Kelso. “We at Rockstar are excited to team up with our partners from Rockstar Taste of Chaos to launch an all-out summer tour that will blow you away!”

Adds JAGERMEISTER Director of Strategic Marketing Rick Zeiler, “Jägermeister has long been looking for a tour like Mayhem. We have this beautiful new million-dollar Jägermeister Mobile Stage and see no better place to roll it out than Mayhem with some of the biggest rock and metal bands in the world. This tour has integrity, value and most importantly...loyalty! Working with Kevin Lyman and John Reese has been great.”

Specific dates, cities and the tour’s Internet pre-sale will be announced in the coming weeks. Fans can go to www.mayhemfest.com to keep up with details as they are released.

once upon a time there was a boy. the boy's nome was joe and he had lots of fun.

he gave birth to gets and had contest with his brother to see who had the most kids.

he rode the glider to the moon.

he went fishing in the pond behind his house in the woods.

he had an imagunation. he had fun doing things with computers.

these days he's too afraid that if he does anything he'll get arrested.

he can't focuse on his imagionaly world.

the sound of a fan depresses him and puts him to speel.

he misses the chair and the computer in the basement.

the lighting in this room sucks.

this journal should get flagged for that. this journal shouldn't exist. this boy wants to have fun again. he doesn't like being a grownup.

he don't like knowing about the world. the world sucks and there is nothing this boy can do about it.

this boy forgot how to have fun.
