    Secret Author - Rewind!

    By Valkyrie

    The posting of this year's Secret Author Contest will be delayed indefinitely due to Cia going through a tragic family emergency.  Please respect her privacy and do not reach out to her and ask questions at this time, especially about when the SA stories will be published.  We apologize for the delay, as we know this is a highly-anticipated event each year, but family matters take precedence, especially during a time like this.  Thank you for your attention and understanding.  Stay tuned for mor

Entry attempt 4

Last night before I left Menomonie, WI, I wrote two blog entries and destroyed both by doing something stupid. I was so high I was beginning to wonder if I'd be safe on the road over here to Green Bay.   No, I was not taking drugs or imbibing any liquor. I was just higher than a kite and bouncing off the walls from that good ol' bipolar shit. Frankly, it felt good to be high, again. Why take drugs or drink liquor when I can get whacko all on my own? Of course, I tend to mess up on the serious

Bitchy Family Members

Apparently my sister is still bitching about the fact that I went to IUP instead of University of Delaware, because it's so expensive to go out-of-state, blah blah blah. She bitched about my low GPA is keeping me from going to UD, which would have been so much cheaper.   Except not. University of Delaware eliminated in-state tuition for the graduate school program during the 2009-2010 school year. I would have been paying $24k a year for 2010-2011, and that would have been without living on-ca

Still in Rio Rico

Still in Rio Rico   Still waiting for the customer to open so they can load me with whatever it is they keep in their warehouse.   Another driver from our company is in the same boat, but he called the customer when someone showed up to do something inside. He said that someone said no one will be here until nine o

"The End of the World."

Love this Song:   " Why does the sun go on shining? Why does the sea rush to shore? Don't they know it's the end of the world?   - Because you don't love me any more. "   " Why do the birds go on singing? Why do the stars glow above ? Don't they know it's the end of the world?   - It ended when I lost your love."   " I wake up in the morning and I wonder Why everything's the same as it was I can't understand, no, I can't understand   - How life goes on the way it does."

Bored silly

Finally finished Chapter 8 of the Schticky story.   Chapter 9 hangs on the first word. Does anyone know how many inner cranial probes are required to read the memories of a political prisoner? Surprisingly, it's not as many as you might think. Well, of course, there is a lot of pain afterwards. Your head would hurt too if someone shoved twenty long metal probes into your brain. Thankfully, these people aren't barbarians because the procedure is done under anesthesia, but once you wake up you w

Hopeless Love

What is it about falling in love with someone you know you can't have?   From a serious crush on a movie star to the straight boy/girl, it happens so many times I was wondering if there was any reason why our emotions let us down so badly in these situations... and this is what I came up with.   Falling in love with someone you can't have is safe.   Okay it's painful and angsty and heartbreaking and desperate but it's safe.   You know you can't have them, that there's no chance it will e

Moving right along, again

Delivered my first load for the new company.   I've had a HazMat endorsement on my CDL for nearly 5 years and this is the first time I had the opportunity to placard a trailer. It was not fun driving down the Interstates with four red placards stating quite clearly what was in my trailer. "Flammable Gas"! That's right, nothing that could leak, but it sure would've made a terrific BOOM if some dummy used one of the placards for target practice.   Actually, it was quite harmless. Just 5 tons o

The New Migrants

Last night I finished up a 4 day road trip to Meridian to install new PCs for a company that has their home office there. It was an unbelievable crappy situation. I was told by management to only migrate company approved applications and some people had loads of programs that I wasn't supposed to migrate. The fatass top Data Processing guy there couldn't bother to give me a list of printers, IP addresses and the required drivers.   Last night at the Jamison Inn, a hotel that caters to working

Grad School Begins, Part II

Sometimes the best thing to do is face your fear head-on. I've been reading online a bit, about people who are or have failed out of graduate school. What I realize is that I'm not alone at all about feeling scared about failing, or realizing that I went into this process completely blind and uncomprehending about the pitfalls and troubles I could face. There's this interesting site by a woman who left her PhD program four years in. I thought it was pretty interesting:   Straight Talk

Grad School Begins

I start my classes tommorrow. Man. It's been a wild week...   Wednesday, I hung out with my friends from college- my buddy Steve and all his former residents that are now entering junior year. Kinda weird- those kids are now the same year me and Steve were when we met during their freshman year. It was a pretty chill, laidback night- we sat around drinking and watching Netflix while they smoked and I watched. It was basically like any other time I've hung out with these guys- which was a

A tutorial for people who can't get along

Step 1: This is pretty straight forward. Go to the top of any page on the forum. Click on the arrow beside your name and select Manage Ignored Users.     Step 2: Enter the name of the douchebag you wish to ignore like so.     Step 3: Save changes.     Is that so hard? I think not. Quit trying to start flame wars and act like adults.

No lab error, but better news

Well, I repeated my PSA and it came back at 3.0 this time, which is a hell of a lot better than 8.5, but not nearly as low as it was a year ago. The free PSA was a marginal 22%, which translates roughly to my having a one in ten chance of having prostate cancer. That's a whole lot better than I thought it would be! I'll go back for another repeat in three months and if it's still low, chances are I just had prostatitis. If it's up again, however, I'll need a biopsy but, as some here have rel

Moving right along

It seems my first schticky story is off and running with a number of readers actually leaving comments in my forum. So, you ask, where does this schtick stuff come from? Well, a number of years ago I started writing the history of the Argottean Federation and this news item came out:   3 Hurl -531

the Republican Party or Help! I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up

The Republican party was formed in the 1850s primarily in response to the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854 that opened possibility of expanding slavery to new territories. The original founders of the Republican Party were anti-slavery Whigs and Free Soil Democrats based on "Free Soil, Free Labor, Free Men" ideology and a radical vision of modernization based on higher education, railroads, banking, industry and cities.   Republicans argued that free market labor was infinitely superior to slavery.

Doing My Part - Public Service Announcement For @TBSOfficial

I got the new Taking Back Sunday album, Live Form Orensanz, a few days ago, and I've got to tell you, it's so beyond amazing. The strings, the depth of the music, the emotion, it moves me and it is because of this that I've given it control of my iPod and that I'm telling you about it.   Just look!   My Blue Heaven     Also, I'm not gonna lie... It was pretty awesome to come home from work yesterday and be able to say to my daughter and her friend, "Ask me who started following me o

How do you make a Lib-tard jump off a bridge?

Here's a start:     Follow it up with this:     And they are pretty much writing the note.     Oops... Mustn't forget the Obligatory Butthurt Incident Report       Some things are just meant to turn out badly.     Like playing with an old man's Wii     Some things are inevitable. Like Rule 34     Or the way that I wished that the Twilight series would end.     ...and math nerds never get laid.       PEACE... through superior firepower!

A Culture of Hate

I'm starting to wonder if that's what it is....a desperate need to find people to hate. There has to be an enemy, a focus of all that's wrong. And it can't just be an individual, it has to be a group, an entire group, branded usually by their race or religion. It's amazing how the same groups seem to make the rounds too. There's always the blacks. They're a constant. Then there are the Jews, unless it's time to hate the Muslims, in which case the Jews are convenient friends. And of cours

Horribly Offensive Blog Post

You've been warned. If you are a politically correct sack of shit, read on at your own risk. You'll be offended and I'll be... heartbroken.   Some of you have been asking about my baby pictures. Here I yam in all of my white trash redneck glory.     So where are we? After getting told that I was a liar, a zionist and an ignorant redneck who should shut the f**k up because I was stupid, I'm pretty pissed.     I'm a black sheep in this politically correct nut house and I don't f**king
