Please

I don't normally rant or care about sensitive issues, not on this site or anywhere else, but I am sick of it. And I don't care if I get banned or whatever cause if I have no rights to speak, then I don't want to be here.   I am tired of hearing people complain about religion/religious being and what not. You people do realized there are some users here who believe in a certain religion. I know most people despised and would normally criticized religion/religious people because they most likely

Duggar Diddles Kids & Uses Ashley Madison

You can't make this shit up. A man who pretended to stand up for conservative family values has been outed as a child molester, and now using a website to cheat on his wife. These people are such a fucking joke.   http://gawker.com/family-values-activist-josh-duggar-had-a-paid-ashley-ma-1725132091

Regarding Depression And The State Of The World.

I received a message from someone who read my last blog entry, "Social Anxiety and Crying Wolf", and who thanked me for sharing my experience, as it related to their own. This was the second of two messages that addressed the same subject, and I don't know what came over me as I was responding, but the words flowed like magic, and I just wanted to share my response with you now. I hope it's not too forward.   Thank you for the message. I remember watching a video a couple of years ago about

A Shocking Secret Shame

Upon doing some research for my next story I came across this article. I had no idea that it was this bad for men who have been raped.   Some dark places in this world are unbelievable barbaric!   http://www.theguardian.com/society/2011/jul/17/the-rape-of-men

Perception And Perspectives

I am one of those contrarians, you know that guy who will eat a box of twizzlers despite knowing I hate the lycorish or in this case giving a man I know I despise a few minutes of my life to listen to what he has to say. To be honest, I still hate lycorish, but I learned twizzler is actually eatable. I actually listened to Donald Trump's speech in New Hampshire and I might not like the man, but I can see his appeal and even agree with him, that just got me thinking about the nature of defining m

Late Night Confessions

Having issues sleeping.   My back is slowly healing. I'm hoping to be back to work soon.The pain is still there, but I'm staying off the pills.   I had a friend who sort of hit the wall. It is scary to think someone you care about no longer sees light but only darkness. Trying to keep them grounded long enough to find help isn't easy, especially when you aren't close distance wise. I'm not sure I can keep doing this without breaking myself.   Ever have so much happening and yet nothing.

Social Anxiety And Crying Wolf

I have some significant issues. I think most people have one or two, but are able to keep them in check. Over the past few months it hasn’t been as easy for me to do the same with my issues. They keep sneaking up on me at inopportune times and trying to take me down. Every once in a while, they succeed. I wouldn’t be surprised if people thought I was nothing more than a spoiled child seeking attention. Every now and then my social anxiety gets the better of me, and I overreact, and I star

Of Weddings And Broken Hearts

Decided to go for a certain wedding, dressed in red. I figure supporting is better than sulking at home like a little child. This is the point where I discover that I'm a tad masochistic. I had lunch with one of my friends the other day, and we got to talking about how it gets harder to make friends as we grow older. I'm thirty-one right now, and it seems the same circle of four friends I have is the same one I've had forever. In fact, the circle dwindles at times, there are times when I'm c

The Genie Is Out Of The Bottle

Today one of our members asked a very interesting question which I attempted to answer.   I did my best to keep it apolitical as possible by using four examples: two each from democratic and republican presidential administrations.   Have we made mistakes in regard to the technologies that we sell? OH HECK YEAH! Many, many mistakes. They are made by businesses and at the governmental level.   They have been made by both sides of the political spectrum.   They have been made with malic

A Sad Day

You may remember my Traditional Siamese Bortai from previous blogs...I got her and her brother Genghis when they were only a few months old back in 2001...Genghis was stolen in 2005, which left just me and Bortai until I got another stray Siamese, Chula, from my sister. Chula has been gone just over two years now from a resistant respiratory infection...she was eight years old.   Two weeks ago, Bortai had small swellings around a couple of her mammary glands, so I was going to schedule a vet v

Broken Angel

In everyone's life there will be a tragic hit you like speed breaker. Some will give no pain and some a little. But God will give this kind of tragedy that will give you so much pain that can't be bearable and can't replace... I have gone through these kind of heart broken things that I wish never happened.   When God think you are happy and to test you he will arrange some typical thing in your life, which will make a great impact on your love life. It happened in my life which made my all re

Jordan's Guide To Being A Retail Assistant

Guys, I have come up with the basic outline that every retail assistant follows. Here it is!   1. Follow customers like they're the fish to your shark. And when he/she stops to look at something, get in their face and ask: 'How can I help you? Is there anything you are looking for?'   2. When behind the counter and the customer asks for an item, reply with: 'Sure we've got some out the back.' Then, go out into the break room, send 3 text messages to your friends, then come back out with a sm

Cultural Enrichment

It has come to my attention that some of you have never heard of the Bloodhound Gang. This is not acceptable.   Prepare to laugh your ass completely off. You might want to turn it up.       Check them out on YouTube.   Other notable titles are:   Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo   and   Kiss Me Where It Smells Funny

Jordan's Guide To Flatting In New Zealand

1. If it can't be cooked in the microwave, then it's not worth cooking!   2. Assign job roster systems to the flat for each flatmate. "Hey, wasn't Joe supposed to clean the bathroom this week?" "Nah, he died remember? The stink of the unwashed clothes you forgot to wash last week killed him." "Oh, yeah."   3. Wear earplugs at night so that while you're in bed, the [thump] sound of [thump] your flatmate [thump] banging some girl [thump] and the adjacent wall [thump] doesn't interrupt [thump]

Updates On Life And Stuff

Well beyond meditating on Eastern/Western philosophical and religious issues for "blue Rose", which is still being written as a re-launch for my Causality Universe, I also got some life updates.   I've pulled the trigger and I am leaving Corporate America, aka Health care/ Insurance accounting. Horray!   I am going to be the accountant of a Non-Profit Education and Disability Services, which I feel like coming back home to a place, I actually care a deep amount about.

Here I Go Again

Seems my life has is more of a rollercoaster ride than anything else. Things had been getting back to normal. I was writing, Dad was back to his routine, JJ seemed happy to be walked and stay around us. Then I went to work Monday and all of it went out the window.   I went to lift a printer off the floor and pulled the muscles in my back setting off all sorts of pain. I hadn't seen stars or pain levels like this since I had originally hurt my back two years ago. Tuesday I was barely moving bu

I Say No!

I am embarrassed and ashamed. I hoped that people in my country would never say things like ’Fucking niggers! Let them drown. We should burn them.’ ever again. But they do. Out in the open, not hidden anymore in some back room. And they do more. They burn down refugee homes, they organize torch parades, they post hate speeches on facebook and other the social medias.   We are a democracy. They are allowed to do at least some of this. But I say No! Loud and clear. I neither tolerate nor accept

There Are Days...

There are days, and there are days: Today has been a hard one.   I spend ninety percent of my time working, the other ten percent, is for doing those things that make me happy. A few months ago, I met this guy, and you know how you just click with someone at first meet....that sounds corny...but yes, it happens. There are those people you meet and you just get each other right off. He made it easy to bring down the ninety percent to fifty of work and just spending time out in the air, enjoy

"o Thou, My Lovely Boy..."

O thou, my lovely boy, who in thy pow'r Dost hold time’s fickle glass, his sickle hour,   Who hast by waning grown, and therein show’st Thy lovers withering, as thy sweet self grow’st—   If nature, sovereign mistress over wrack, As thou goest onwards still will pluck thee back,   She keeps thee to this purpose: that her skill May time disgrace, and wretched minute kill.   Yet fear her, O thou minion of her pleasure; She may detain, bu

The Plot To Every Star Trek Episode Ever

The plot to every Star Trek episode ever   (a writer's perspective)   There is always an initial incident and some poor guy in a red-shirt is eaten by an alien.     Then there is a commercial break... for 20 minutes.   The doctor says he's dead Jim and I've never seen anything like it.     Some random character has a flashback (or a bad burrito- that part is never clear) to set up the next scene.   Captain Kirk says WHY... do they hate these shirts!?   The Klingons show up i
