all three of those attributes can be emphatically denied with evidence and past behavior...

The bumping then would be much preferable to other methods...

Before we go there, YES I am house broken, and alright, I have been "domesticated" for awhile it was just a catchy title and sums up what I spent the weekend doing rather nicely. Perhaps I should explain... Lately I haven't had much time between work school and trying to be social on some levels. Unfortunately for my bedroom, it has taken the brunt of my procrastination. The problem only compounded it self when you add in 3 semesters worth of school papers and books. Compound all that with piles of receipts, and CD-R's (thank god for portable hard-drives!) and various other this is a good enough spot for now... and you have the disaster area that was my room. Additionally I've been all grrr for the last several days. There are a few reasons for it; Wallowing in my own stupidity, being idle for long amounts of time, and just plain chaos wherever I look. So I took matters into my own hands so to speak. I spent the weekend completely cleaning my room and washing every stitch of clothing I own, and reducing my investment in such clothing by at least half, though all told I think it was closer to 60%, I dunno i dont have the list with me. Worse yet, I still have more articles of clothing that need to be sent off to goodwill. I simply don't use them any longer so all they do is take up space. Might as well free up space and nelp someone else out right? Anyhow, I've gotten that done, next weekend I'm probably going to move the room around. I'm an odd sort I guess, Things start to feel stale after awhile so I have to switch them up. I used to move my room around at least once a year back when I was lacking any sort of gainful employment. I haven't moved my room around in 5 years. 5 YEARS! Oddly enough change helps me in some respects... Take insomnia for instance; there are nights I toss and roll and just can't get to sleep. Those nights all have to eventually do is throw a pillow down to the foot of the bed and I can finally fall asleep. Why that is, I don't know... it just is. Makes me wonder about a relationship though, but I'm not going to go into that. I think that is the weekend in recap, no grand revelations or experiences. Well maybe one realization, but... another time I guess. OH yea... the company I work for is in escrow apparently. I don't know how to feel about that. On one hand its.. great cause I don't want to work there anymore ( this change thing creeping up again, but its not total change just taking the pieces of my life and shaking them up a bit...). However, it sucks because again I was kept out of the loop and whatever. I hope the state of california doesnt run out of unemployment funds soon... Also, I swish well... except I do not think I swish. In fact, I'm pretty sure of it. So, catch yall on the flip side I guess... Steve

concentration should be the least of ones worries when measured against shrinking testicle size...

I want a cigarette.... how crazy is that 19 freakn' days and you'd think Id be done with this crap by now. Adding to this.. compulsion Ive been all scatter brained lately and acting way out of character. I'd blame the voluntary nicotine withdrawal, but yeah its been 19 days. The chemical really can't still be reeking havoc in my system can it? Anyhow, my focus has been pretty shitty and Ive been neglecting things I shouldn't. Case in point, my beta work I do for a few different people. I need to get back to it. Hell I need to get back to my own writing which has suffered the most. I think I've written like a paragraph in the last two weeks. Which is... yeah no bueno. here's to hoping this passes soon, or I fold and grab a pack of cigarettes... kinda shitty trade off though. Steve

Kudos Robert! Enjoy the history As for the steakhouse... you went a long way out of the way to go there. There is one up by the International Spy Museum. and the International Portrait Gallery.

hrmm I lied go to the member profile there is a options menu to the lef. under the rating and user photo. it should be listed there. No it is not a mod or admin limited feature, if mikeL got the info its open to all of you.

membername by every post click on the name a menu drops down there is a selection for display name history

hrmmm I dunno, it can get kind of annoying but Im not going to obsess over it. me who does not have the same display name as I registered with, but theres a long story behind it.

Pfft goat you were at the last one... I remember

You should Vic... some of us may surprise ya

I'm not going to say anything... I still think someone from Microsoft has hacked Eric's account.

So yeah most of my blogs have been bleh lately. Not this one. I feel a little lost, because I'm not sitting in any class for the intersession. But to remedy that I do get to register for classes next Friday. Right now its looking like College level Algebra, or Statistics... Tuesday Thursday. Monday night they finally have a creative writing class. you can bet my ass is signing up for that! and I hoping to get an anthropology or world religions class in on Wednesday. We'll see how that goes but yeah definitely want classes Monday through Wednesday. I'd hit Friday up again but I dunno I thought the Saturday morning class sucked... I was also going to look into History 1 with all the cool cultures, but the Nazi is teaching the only History 1 class next semester, so yeah F that. I'm still up in the air over statistics or College level Algebra. The IGETC outline says that MAT 11 (College level Algebra) may not transfer completely to the UC, however the Course book says that MAT 11 credits transfer... So bleh. Worst case scenario, I take MAT 11 this coming semester, and then MAT 12 (statistics) later just to be safe... Other than that I really have to get cracking on the sciences. Anthropology will help, but I need physical sciences too. This sucks because all those classes are M-F morning or mid day with required Lab time at night. So yeah a little hesitant and unsure there. Meh I have a lot of crap to do, Taxes (always fun) DnCW (no I haven't forgotten, yes I feel like a damn fool for making everyone wait so long. Everyone except Vic that is, we know he only reads Dom ) A plethora of site stuff... including converting my hosted site over to PHP and you know join this decade before it is burnt to a crisp... oh wait thats 2012..... DAMN I wasn't supposed to let that out.... Ignore that part please Oh yeah speaking of DnCW I found a great song for some upcoming events. and out of fear anticipation of Graeme spiking CJ's hide... I shall give you guys the lyrics, let me know what you think. You've got such a pretty smile It's a shame the things you hide behind it Let 'em go, give it up, for a while Let 'em free and we will both go find it I know that there's nowhere you can hide it I know the feeling of alone I know that you do not feel invited But come back, come back in from the cold Step away then from the edge Your best friend in life is not your mirror Back away, come back away, come back away Come back away, come back away, come back away I am here and I will be forever and ever I know that there's nowhere you can hide it I know the feeling of alone Trust me and don't keep that on the inside Soon you'll, you'll be locked on your own You're not alone, you're not alone And don't say you've never been told I'll be with you till we grow old Til I'm in the ground and I'm cold I'm not sitting up here on some throne I'll be with you till we're both gone Like a dog you can always come home Dig up a bone Look around I Know ~Jude Umm yeah I think thats it for tonight. steve

this is not the place for suggestions. The topic is nominations. As such it is being split from the pinned topic.

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAS GATES DONE TO ERIC!!!!!

bleh, I should really be barred from blogging on certain days... its like that life rule: Merlot and eMail don't mix. Except it should be Steve and Blogging don't mix, alright maybe not that extreme. Anyhow, I'm going to state that anything coming out of this blog for the next few weeks be taken with a grain of salt. Due to nicotine withdrawal therapy my body chemistry is a little jacked up at the moment. Yep that's my story and I'm sticking to it

Hrmm... Viv JSmith Meeko DKStories Trebs Myr Benji Emoe Dezlboi Nifter Narcidius B1ue Sungod Littlebuddha Wildone Will 16... Steve

My *$$ that was a nomination and you know it And why preclude yourself goat? I may have to give up voting for krista and vote for you....

No just making sure the facts as represented remain truthful. If you want me to protest I can...

Jan, That wasn't entirely truthful now was it? C James name came up first in the category at post #4. Granted Cynic said the award should just be given to C James, but that still counts as a nomination... no?

Why that didn't even occur to me Graeme. Simply put to avoid a bias, the list should be alphabetized. It is only fair, if it isn't people might perceive one author as being in the lead nomination wise, and thus give up nominating said author. Alphabetizing therefore makes perfect sense.

Jan, I believe there is an error in your listing... It should be: C James dkstories Dom Luka Graeme shadowgod

I am an asshole, just so you know. My Uncle passed away recently, and honestly I have sympathy for the situation, but not for the man. I feel bad about this. It's like I have all these concerns and worries over people I care about, but little to nothing for the rest, even if they are members of my family. Family is supposed to be first. I have always been taught that. No matter what happens in life they are always there for you. It sounds great in a book, and in a hallmark card, but while having this notion drilled into me I have witnessed the reality. There is no one in the world so well equipped to hurt you as family. They know all the secrets, all the weaknesses. They are always the first in line with their hand out, or standing just far enough in the distance like lurking vultures, ready to take whatever they can get. That is family, and you can't choose the assholes that surround you. For those of you who don't know. I work with my family, well a good portion of them, my two sisters and my Aunt. I live with my parents and the same two sisters, so I am around them 24 hours a day.It was okay for a long time, but for the last two years or so it has become increasingly... problematic. All anyone around me does is bitch and moan about things they have no control over, or bitch for the art and sake of bitching. As if it is a sport or something to make the day more interesting. They tell me I'm always in a bad mood. I don't think I am, I mean how can a person who remains quiet be in a bad mood? Well other being tired of a situation to the point it probably seeps out of my pores. I don't think I'm a bad guy, but all I ever hear is how I am in foul mood from all directions. Yet if I ever smile I get snarls all around asking me "Why in the hell am I so happy?" I dunno, I guess I am unhappy and I just recognize it as normalcy, only ever catching happiness on the back of a summers twilight. If so, here's to those golden days, when dreams where young and anything was possible. The days when the world was mine, before time took it away. In other news.... I have friends, and in connection with said friends; I have a roll of duct tape and a cactus. I'm not afraid to use them. catch y'all on the flip side steve

No Misdirection dear CBOATS, Many people know who really deserves the award. Even in your dedication that I be awarded you yourself still nominated yourself as C James for the award. I still contend any cliffhangers in DnCW are purely a figment of the imagination. I haven't gotten to them... yet

Pfft as if! Do you think Im writing a CJames serial or what?!? And Krista I think you are incredibly eligible, Im not telling people to vote for you or whatever All I know is that I would vote for you, what with the way you have a core group of diehard fans still begging for a certain story after years... thats very Dom of you btw...
