Oh I'd say he rode a Texas Giant for sure...

Grr.

I guess I can add an updated picture... and don't start with me about my hair! I have it this way because it's easier and I'm lazy

I just read this thread and started cracking up at what some of you said.

I posted this last night but it wasn't working so I'm posting it now I can tell you from the start that this entire blog is going to be nothing but bitching. So if you really don't want to hear me complain and sound like a little bitch, then leave. Other than that, by all means, please do enjoy So let's start with CJ since that was just a couple minutes ago. I'm sick of reading one chapter every week. He always leaves the things on a cliffhanger and leaves you sitting there for a week twiddling your thumbs waiting for a new one. Well bite me CJ, because I'm not doing it anymore! I'm boycotting until you finish the damn thing or at least you don't leave it on a cliffhanger! Not that it matters to him since I'm usually bugging him about getting the next chapter anyways so it's probably not an effective strategy. Oh well. OH! The one piece of good news is that I did pretty well bowling tonight. The third game at least. Still sucked, but good enough for me! On to all the shit... I got two tickets in three days. Yes, TWO. One of them was a bullshit ticket, and the other one I'm just pissed about because it was the second one in three days. The first ticket I got because I made my own off-ramp from the highway to the access road That cop was a dick though. He said about 10 words to me total and that was it. Walked up and said "I need your license and proof of insurance." I gave it to him without saying a word and he walked away. 30 minutes later of Michelle and I talking about how to get out of the ticket and the f**ker comes back. "You're receiving a citation for driving from a controlled access highway where prohibited." and then did the whole "This is not an admission of guilt" thing and gave me the ticket and walked away. Throughout all of this I didn't say a word to him because he was a dick to me and I didn't trust what I might have said to the bastard. I didn't want to end up in jail. BUT, I'm almost positive I can get out of that ticket. First of all, the cops in this city are lazy and tend not to show up for court dates. They take 5 months to set one up and by that time they can't remember what happened anyways. So if he doesn't show up, the ticket is dismissed and I go home happy. If he DOES show up, I might be able to get off on a couple technicalities. He spelled my last name wrong, scribbled it out and wrote the write one, marked two different counties, Dallas and Tarrant, and then scribbled out Tarrant and I don't even know what his name was. He never identified himself and he scribbled on the paper as his signature. However, if that doesn't work, I have spent over 23 hours sitting in the waiting room of Just Brakes during the last month getting my brakes fixed over and over again. When I hit the brakes hard, the wheel turns over 90 degrees to the left or right. Well I hit the brakes hard because the person in front of me did and I ended up in the grass on the edge of the road. Well it had rained and it was muddy still and because it was on a hill, my truck doesn't have the traction to back up so I had no choice but to make my own off-ramp or else I would have to stop the flow of traffic and have someone pull me out. THEN, two days later (last night) I got a speeding ticket. I was surprised because I was only going 75 instead of my usual 85+, but the f**ker got me with LADAR before I could see him. I think he was bullshitting with the 75 though. It takes a couple seconds for the laser to lock on a speed and my radar detector went off and I slammed the brakes quick enough that I don't think he locked it at 75. Of course I didn't want to ask to see it because I'm a chicken shit and didn't feel like pissing him off. I have two finals tomorrow, one of which is total bullshit and is going to suck. The other SHOULD be easy, but we'll see how that goes. I don't plan on studying for it so it could go absolutely horrible, but shit happens. If I get an A in the course I'll be happy and won't bitch. If I don't get an A I'll go yell at the professor until he gives me one. I had a final project in programming. It was a group project, but it's hard to do a programming group project when the rest of the class (all 6 of them) is stupid. So I ended up doing the entire project in about 2 hours when we had 2 weeks to do it. The program was flawless and all the flowcharts and specification reports were good too. I even wrote most of the code for the OTHER team too since they were falling behind and didn't know what to do. But does that get me the 100 that I deserved? Of course not. She HATES giving 100's so she found some stupid little thing to take off 3 points of my grade. I named a block of code "collectRow()" and she took off the 3 points because she said that name doesn't give an accurate description of what the robot does. Well I'll be damned if that code doesn't make the robot collect a row of dots. To keep the names simple and under the character limit restrictions, I figured it was an accurate description. Apparently not. But that doesn't matter. I commented almost every line of code on the damn thing to make sure anyone reading it would know what each line did. Even further, there were flowcharts for EVERY block of code explaining the process of the command and how it worked and the ifs and loops it used. So my description wasn't accurate enough? Bite me. Those 3 points dropped my final grade from a 99.83 to a 99.28. From a 100 to a 99. Honestly it doesn't mean much to me, but it still pisses me off that I do the entire project and half the other group’s project, and she takes off 3 points because she doesn't want to give a 100. My stupid hamster escaped the other day. He tore a hole in the top of the cage and got loose in my room. My door was closed so I didn't think the dogs ate him, but if they did I really wouldn't have minded because I would rather know and not look than not know and be worried that he was loose. So I tore my entire room apart looking for the damned thing and came up with nothing. Well I guess I made enough noise to wake him up because he started scratching on my entertainment center from below. Had I known that there was hollow space under there, I would have checked, but I didn't know. So I started tearing the thing apart and pulled up one of the bottom boards and saw some rat shit. At this point I was pissed because not only was the hamster still running around under there, but at one point rats were too. I was prying off one of the board when the stupid f**ker started running across my room. So I grabbed him and "nicely" put (read: threw) him into his cage and set about cleaning up all the rat shit and re-arranging my room because I already had it torn apart. So after an hour of searching and tearing, I found the f**ker, but I was a little pissed. Then I had to call the bug guy back that was here a few weeks ago to get rid of the rats that were floating around. Not only were there rats, but there was a colony of FIRE ANTS living under my carpet. I didn't know fire ants could even live under the carpet, but yes, there was a colony. He came out a few weeks ago to spray the house and yard because the 5 or 6 months were up and it was that time. Well he either missed my room or he pissed the ones outside off so they moved to my room. When I found the f**kers I flipped out and grabbed a can of whatever pest killer I could find and started drowning the little bastards. But, my room is now ant and rat free and the hamster is stuck in his cage so it's all good. In other news, the GA Convention comes to town in a couple weeks. I'm pretty excited about it really. I don't think it'll be as great for me because I live in the damn place and it's not new and exciting like the San Francisco one was, but I'm looking forward to meeting some of the others and hanging out with the ones that were there last year again. Speaking of, Steve is putting me to work so I'm done ranting for now. Considering it's been 2 months since my last blog entry and all this has only happened in the past week, be glad I don't post more because that would be one hell of a bitch-fest. Enjoy the day everyone! Joe (Who should be in bed or studying, but is bitching instead!)

It would be a fresh dose of reality if CJ did kill some of them off. Too many online stories have the happy endings where everyone lives some unbelievable accident. It would suck if he kills them all after he already killed Gunter, but I would take it. One of the ways I could see them surviving is if the second engine fails and they start descending too low and the missiles either lose their tracking or they hit something else. Though then you have the crash in the desert to worry about, but at least they would survive the missiles Absolutely GREAT chapter, CJ. My hats off to you as I sit here and twiddle my thumbs and plot my revenge for this chapter.

Oh, I forgot to add... I could probably find a Martha Stewart magazine somewhere on how to get the dirt out of your car... But you probably already subscribe to her, don't you?

I would go with the Colorado or Tacoma. Both are fairly nice. If you get a Ford Ranger I might have to shoot you.

This may have already been mentioned, but I didn't read through the thread so if it was, forgive me and ignore this post There's a great site called Literature Map that maps out an author you choose. It will take suggestions on what other people read that also like that author and display them. The closer two authors are, the more likely you are to like both of them. I mapped it out with Vince Flynn one of my all-time favorite authors and found it to be very helpful while searching for a new book to read. So if youre looking for new authors and want to find ones that others suggest, this site gives tons of them. Joe

Alright Kevin! I rated myself a 3 because when I drink, my goal is getting drunk. I don't get hangovers, throwup, or get sick or anything unless I mix drinks. Alcohol then beer, then alcohol, then beer will screw me up big time and the next day is no good. So I'll usually limit myself to one of the other. So Kevin, when are you coming up to Dallas? I'm sure we would have some very fun drunken times! I'll end with a prayer that all drunks should say before going to bed. Our lager, Which art in barrels, Hallowed be thy drink, Thy will be drunk, (I will be drunk), At home as I am in the tavern. Give us this day our foamy head, And forgive us our spillages, As we forgive those who spill against us, and lead us not to incarceration, But deliver us from hangovers, For thine is the beer, The bitter and the lager, Forever and ever, Bar-men. And remember, I'm not an alcoholic. I'm a drunk. Alcoholics go to meetings. Joe

The Goat knows what I'm capable of if he trys to pull anything...

A little taste of how mean I could be... But I didn't want to upset readers, so I changed it back I also had to change the word filter off so his Site would continue to work. P.S. The Queen Goat and I are in negotiation terms and this may be a quick end to the war

The Queen Goat, I wouldn't say we're evil. Instead, The Queen Goat, you should be thankful I'm not going all out yet. Oh yeah The Queen Goat, I love your name. The Queen Goat is just so... unique. I think everyone should use "C J" (without the space) more often when they're talking. What do you think, The Queen Goat?

I think Shadowgod will pick the right side He has a few tricks up his sleeve that I couldn't do, so it's safe to say who's going to come out victorious

Hey. That's uncalled for. And I have never had sex in the bathroom thank you very much.

So. I came home to a party. While I don't mind parties, I swear if the house isn't SPOTLESS tomorrow, I'm going to go nuts.

Well, now that I've vented a bit, I feel like I'm finally calm enough to write a post that all of you can read I'll start with the exs. It seems that everyone of my exs seems to be contacting me lately. Well, not every one of them, but a lot of them. First, the most recent ex continues to send random texts asking me what's up or if I'm still awake at 2am. Some people sleep you know! Not me, but if I was normal, I'd probably be in bed! Then last night I got a phone call from Michael. If any of you remember him, he's the first guy I messed around with that I had a huge crush on. I had planned on moving back to Missouri at the end of the school year, but apparently he didn't get the memo that it wasn't going to happen until last night. So he called me and was pretty upset that I wasn't coming back. So I talked to him for a good 15 minutes which was actually pretty nice. But, the shocker of them all is that Jonathan moved back to town. To recap, he was the one that I had very strong feelings for at one point, but he f**ked me over. Then there was a possibility of getting back together, but I ended up not doing it. He moved a few months ago to a town about three hours away from here. Turns out his parents got a divorce so he came back here to live with his mom. He's now completely out and his mom accepts it and they're still very close apparently. I talked to him online yesterday and got caught up with everything and then tonight I had to basically teach him how to be gay As if I'm the best openly gay guy to talk to about coming out and meeting new guys. Right... Anyways he's still in the stage of, "No one wants me, he's out of my league, I can't do it, I don't know what to do..." kind of crap so I was talking him through that. He just got into the dating field, but wants to find an amazing guy right off the bat. I told him that was easier said than done, but I think he still might have some feelings for me but doesn't want to admit it. Then to top it all off, I noticed on the birthday list that it's my Missouri-Psycho ex's birthday today. Fairly odd I must say, but I don't think I'm going to send him a Happy Birthday text or call him. I've had enough ex-drama lately. Moving right along, I was in a royally pissed off mood today because I cleaned the entire house even though I wasn't the one to make it a mess to begin with. It took me 4-5 hours of doing nothing but cleaning carpets, shelves, closets, the kitchen, and everything else on the ground floor. My sister briefly helped me and cleaned a few spots on the carpet, but the nasty pig of a brother I have just ignored me. He's been told to wash the dishes and vacuum the living room for the past week, but he just sits there and ignores it. I was getting sick of having people over and the house was a mess so I finally just cleaned the whole damn thing. My sister made up for it by buying me pizza though so I don't have any hard feelings against her. The good news in the cleaning though is that I finally finished my damn Defensive Driving Course online. It took me 2 weeks to do the stupid thing because I kept falling asleep while taking it. I honestly don't know if I'll get my papers back in time though so I might have an arrest warrent out for me come April. I hooked my laptop up to the projector in the living room and used my cell phone as a mouse with the bluetooth and just kept clicking next from across the room. Made life much easier when you can ignore the videos and vacuum at the same time. I'm going to Austin this weekend finally. Mason, Michelle, our friend Valerie, one of her friends, and I are all taking a weekend trip down there. It's a last minute thing, but we always wanted to go down so I figured why the hell not. I'm really looking forward to it. Even if we're all in one room with 2 beds and a pullout couch. No one's sleeping on the floor, but there's no privacy for Mason and I either Or I could just lock them out of the room... I have much more to rant about, but I think I've done enough for the night. The other post was much more graphic and detailed so I feel significantly better Joe (Who is going to make sure his house is still clean after the bastard just left)

Just in case some of you forgot what the original topic was....

There is a topic here, you guys realize that right?

ARGH! Ever have a night where you can't stop thinking? It's one of those nights for me. Thoughts keep going through my head and I'm not entirely sure that's a good thing. Usually when I sit and think it never turns out well, but we'll see. At least it's a nice night outside so I can leave my door open and get a breeze. Not much new to update on. I think my brother knows I'm gay now if he didn't know before. We were having a party and the boyfriend had some homework due the next day so he was taking a break from beer pong to work on it. Well I came in my room to check on him and say hi and we got a little distracted with our tongues. Well my brother was coming to get me to play another game and he looks through my door right as I pull away and look up at him. So he just turned around and walked back to the table. He didn't say anything so I'm assuming he already knew, but at least now I know. I finally put a new car stereo in I wanted one for a long time but I never got around to it. It's a real nice one that allows me to play music directly off my USB flash drive so I don't have to make CDs or load songs on an MP3 player ever again. WOO! It was a bitch to put in though because I wasn't willing to pay the $50 to have them install it. So I did it myself and it all worked out in the end Went to see Doomsday the other night. I personally didn't like it. It was a lot like 28 Weeks (wich I liked) except with a less realistic plot. There were so many faults that I just didn't understand. Though that could have been because I missed the first 5-10 minutes, but still some of the things in the movie just made me wonder what the hell they were on when they didn't think about this kind of stuff. The Bently in it was nice though! I have homework but I don't want to do it so screw that I'm not going to. Speaking of the boyfriend... things are going very well I'm fairly certain he's not psychotic like most of my exs or dickheads like the rest of them. He said something earlier today when we were cuddling that I couldn't understand. It could be something very meaningful, or it could have just been goodbye. But based on something he said last night, I'm inclined to believe it was the first option. However, when I asked him what he said, he responded with something that it couldn't have been. So it's killing me inside trying to figure it out. I think he said it, but I don't know if he wanted to say it yet or if he's trying to protect me by doing it this way and then judging my reaction. But that doesn't work if I don't know what the hell he said to begin with! ARGH! And then he said what sounded like the same thing when I was walking to my car, but that one didn't sound AS close as the other one did so I let it go and didn't say anything. I'm good at reading him though and based on his body language I think he was a little disappointed, but not too put off because he was the one that didn't say it clearly or repeat it. So grrr! Anyways, I'm going to get back to my thinking and hopefully find some food. Joe (Who is bored but refuses to do homework.)

To re-open an older topic with a new question: What if you don't know if the person said it or not? If they say it too softly for you to hear and it could have been "I love you" or it could have been something else and you just aren't sure. Thoughts?

Maybe you should hide his bananas. Move them to another part of the store and when he gets there, he'll initiate the conversation asking why you moved the bananas. Then you shout "NO QUESTIONS!" and continue to ring him up with a smile on your face Or you could drop his bananas on 'accident' and then have to get him new ones. Which of course if everyone else knows he's a prick, they will take their sweet time getting them back to the man. Or you could just try humming. Whenever he comes up just start humming a really annoying and upbeat song really loudly. You don't even have to ask him a question, just hum! Or your scale could magically stop working and you have to find help in order to reset it for it to work. And this of course will cause a delay and another grumble from the man. OR My favo(u)rite would be to have a combination of all of the above. Hide the bananas, when he asks why you moved them, shout NO QUESTIONS, start humming until you find your scale doesn't work, when it finally does, you drop the bananas and have to wait for someone to get some more. By this point he might just enjoy a simple "Hi, how are you "
