Self unemployed and loving every minute of it! I fired my boss and quit my job and now I'm ready to change my latitude (I'm planning on traveling soon). Well that was the big news for me, the next thing I need to do is finally invest in a vehicle. I'd been putting it off for two years, getting by on my bicycle instead, but...

I'm aghast, why Obama, why?
Obama Won't Prosecute Officials Over Interrogations:
Policy Makers Apparently Off the Hook for Harsh Treatment of Suspects
However, according to the top UN torture investigator, the order not to prosecute is in direct violation of international laws of which we are a signatory of. U.S. courts could still (and should) prosecute!
For current discussions on this subject on the Suicide...

Well, its a new year and it's high time I finally left a new entry onto my blog...
So my man got elected and now he's the man (well, about to be...) I really wonder if Obama will usher in a new era of politics and progress in America. Certainly, I have a lot of faith in his ability (at least in his intent), but...

omg.
I LOVE sweet potato fries. They're hard to find in SD, but I know a good place.

Thanks for being the only person in that "Chav" thread who saw that I wasn't talking about the murderers, but the hypocrisy of blaming a whole group for actions of a few (or even a large number). Sometimes people are too quick to leap to the defense of specific sub-groups that they align themselves with, whether it be jocks, or goths or video gamers while casting aspersions on other subgroups, especially when those groups are, like the Chavs or (in the States) "white trash". The whole chav hatred is more than a bit classist and elitist and anti-youth, if you ask me.

Nah. I don't think it makes you crazy. I just really like the color in it and the background has a cool look. I was actually under the impression that it was a painting rather than a photograph. I was wanting to see more of the artist. haha
supercrunch:
That's pretty cool. My photoshop skills are not nearly that cool. I've been wanting to learn all the ins and outs of that program. Digital art is really intriguing to me. There was an artist I stayed with in Paris who was used his computer to design a sculpture 3-dimensionally, then using a machine I've only seen used in engineering, he prints it out using resin. The sculpture he made was only an inch cubed. The idea was really interesting though.

Hippies unite. I have a feeling there are more of us on this site than we like to admit. It's kinda weird, when you get some random stoner making no sense, I'll be the first to be like damn hippy. But I there are "hippies" and there are hippies. I consider myself the latter.

As far as the profile thing, I dunno. Some random conversation with Bald_Eagle** made me change my profile pic, then I ended up switching the name to go with it. It'll be temporary for sure, but I'm enjoying it while it lasts.
**I do have some familiar connections to the family though, so I suppose it's slightly appropriate.

I hope you and Helga can come to the beach tomorrow cause I think it will be fun
whitewidow:
I will definately pass that on to Pete because I think it would be cool to go. I guess it all depends on what is going on with his class since he started today. I know he doesn't get overnights for the next 2 weeks but perhaps we could swing by for a bit
We will call and let you know if we are headed that way
Have fun tomorrow. Later big brother

Glad to see that Kita is back, but I'm sure that keeping her inside really isn't up to anyone but her since we all know that what Kita wants Kita gets. I'm glad to hear that you've found a new "special" friend... And I hope that you didn't let the Rav4 sit too long gummy fuel lines aren't an easy or cheap fix 
I guess we'll have to touch bases sometime later, maybe we can all get together next weekend and do something.

So when do we get to meet this "special" friend???
Kidding - I am happy that you found someone to share your time with

I'm pissed. One dog died last week (probably killed by a bobcat) and another disappeared today. I'm sure going to miss her... Kita was such a special dog. So full of energy and vitality. She had such a great spirit.

Aww I am sorry I will keep my fingers crossed that she comes home...
Well things have been kind of hot in my corner of the world (and I guess most of you are probably feeling some of the same heat too). Thankfully the ocean breeze is beginning to cool things off here by the end of the day, but the temperature is stifling most of the day. Now I don't want to sound like chicken little here, but...

Just remember that who ever is driving has to have valid insurance, registration and License. They also need to stop at the gate and get a pass. All you need is Petes rank and address See you then!

You can always put a smile on my face. I honestly didn't know it said go see Cal until I was a teenager...

Well to be honest I have seen better days I got too many answers today to questions I have been wanting to know the answers to but was too afraid the ask. Yes I know this is cryptic but all I ever seem to do is give you my sob stories and I feel bad about that....
I hope you are doing well. Tell me what has been going on in your world...

So here I am, sitting, staring into my computer feeling my eyeballs slowly dry out before they drop from my skull. I can't seem to will myself to go to bed so here I am., bored and tired at 2:30 AM. I've written a few witty things in the current events boards, I've posted at least one comment on a friend's page, and I've even...

Hmm, I had to add this comment because SG isn't letting me post more then a paragraph... What's up?!?
In other news, it's day 3 of my second house sitting job of the summer (other people go on vacation, I just get to feed their pets and water their plants). On the plus side, I do get unlimited "kisses" from Mr. Big (the in home security system, commonly known as a Chihuahua... Actually he's probably half Jack Russel Terrier, but don't tell him that man!) "Biggy" is such a great pup, even if he's all piratey with only one eye. He's such a hoot, I took him on a walk this evening and he kept stopping to pee so he could leave his mark. Well, somewhere half way through the walk, he'd dried up so was just sort of lifting his leg, strain for a bit, then move on. At some point he must have gotten number 1 confused with number 2 because when he lifted his leg he dropped a load instead! Ok, I'm sure it's not exactly something you wanted to picture, but I thought it was hilarious. Silly little guy! Ok, I'm tired now and I've been able to type at for at least 15 minutes, so I guess, mission accomplished? Right, good night!

Damned if Big Love ain't the greatest show. I just watched three episodes in a marathon session (HBO On Demand rocks my socks off). Who knew rooting for a family of polygamists could be so fun. Sure its weird, bizarre and a whole host of other descriptively odd words, but I can't help being fascinated (then again, I'm a total Dexter fan too, so maybe...

LOL, no it isn't. I'm not saying that one is diametrically opposed to the other, just that both are (in my perception) lifestyles that I don't (or can't) fully embrace. On a side note, the 70's rockstar is a kind of inside reference, a joke if you will. I used to actually personify myself briefly (and jokingly) as a 70's pornstar living in the 90's (when nothing could be further from the truth... I wasn't getting any). My brother PiratePete would get it. I DO however have a strong affinity for Bwa-Chick-A-Waka style of funk music (kind of like 70's porn music ala Curtis Mayfield). It's the type of background music I wish I could have for the soundtrack of my life...
So yeah, I guess after all of that, I'd more readily embrace the life of a 70's rocker over that of a god-fearing believer (albeit, I'd probably be O.D. on something and contract multiple STD's before realizing the error of my ways before finding God and then running for public office).

Loved it...
I can see it now... 2008, the U.S bombs a facility marked "Prosthetic Leg Factory" because it is allegedly being used to manufacture IEDs. Military intelligence reports a likely increase in wheelchair based suicide attacks following the destruction of the factory, so all wheelchairs are to be confiscated and destroyed. Troops are then told to shoot anyone that moves suspiciously, especially people limping, hopping or crawling since they are suspected "insurgents". (They're obviously insurgents because otherwise they wouldn't be missing any limbs since the U.S. does not target civilians.)
