| Why don't I care? |
[May. 26th, 2005|11:08 pm] |
Over the past couple of weeks, I've realized that I've been completely disconnected with Highschool. It never meant anything to me... this is why I didn't care about missing prom, this is the same reason that I don't see the point in going to graduation. I don't feel like I was ever part of Marshall guys... Ever since Junior year, I've had 2 classes a day. I haven't had any spectacular teachers, I haven't met any spectacular people in my classes over the last two years. My circle of friends has been the same for years, I'm comfortable with you guys (you know who you are; the people on my buddy list and the people that I talk to or hang out with outside of school; the people on the Rape and Pillage forums, you are all my friends.) and I haven't felt the need to expand it... so I never really developed relationships with the people in my classes, most were no more than aquaintances (in other words, I never saw them outside of school). My friends, unfortunately, rarely shared classes with me (aside from German).
Thus, I don't have any special connection to those acquaintances of mine, and for this reason High School has meant nothing to me. I can only hope that college can be better, but I'll probably have to quit WoW first. I have all summer to get nice and burned out, and boy do I intend to.
Thank you, those of you who fall into the category of 'my friends.' Lets all keep in touch and do things together more often. R&P forums FTW. |

So I went off a pretty big jump at the den yesterday... 15 feet up in the air... landed with my rear wheel in a pit. When I came down on the suspension, it bounced my body up and threw me over the handlebars of the bike. I landed on dirt and rocks and slid/bounced for about another 15 feet before I finally came to a stop. I was more worried about the bike at the time cause, hey, I'll heal, the bike won't. Still, it turned out okay. The handlebars were a little bent and will probably need to be replaced ($30) and the front headlight plastics were pretty much torn off ($5 for epoxy). As to the bodily harm, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves... Yes, they're kinda gross. My right shoulder is leaking some sort of transparent yellowish liquid which I'm guessing is a congregation of white blood cells. My knee is badly swolen and is quite painful to walk on, much less bend.
( Gross; you've been warned. ) |

| Wesley's Handy Guide to Living Off The Government! |

I've been working at HEB for about six months now as a cashier. During that time, I've discovered how people manage to live practically for free by exploiting government programs and welfare. So here's my handy step-by-step guide to becoming a detriment to society:
1) a) You must be uneducated. The earlier you drop out of highschool, the better.
b) Having recently crossed the border and not knowing any English also works.
2) Get fat. Really fat. Fat to the point of being considered 'disabled.' This forces the government to pay your lazy lardass money for not being able to work.
3) Have at least 4 kids and drag them everywhere you go. Dragging them everywhere makes you look needy. Kids are tax deductible, and they don't have to be fed all that much. The less you feed your kids, the more food is left for you, you do have to maintain your girth, after all. As soon as they turn 5, stick them in a public baby sitting institution (school) and forget 'em, they are no longer your problem.
4) Have the man of the family sit around on his ass all day, drink beer, and watch softcore cable porn. Have the disabled fat mother of the family get a part-time $5.15 an hour job at McDonalds working 10 hours a week, that way you don't actually look lazy, you just officially make $6k a year as a household. Tax refunds will be nice, considering you somehow manage to support 4 kids, yourself, your husband, your house, and two car leases on just that amount. Deductions++.
5) Get on welfare. Since you make under $12k a year, as far as the government knows, you're entitled to federal financial aid.
6) Get on foodstamps. You don't make money, you can't afford to buy food. Let people who work hard and pay their taxes cover your food expenses, they won't mind.
7) Become part of the 'low income housing' program. Paying $300 a month for a three bedroom house is just about right.
8) Buy a dark green '88 Cadillac and put huge gold rims on it. It will help your image.
Hope this helps!
P.S. I hate the people that shop at the HEB on Tezel/Grissom. |

Hey guys, everyone should check out this article: http://www.overclockers.com/articles1208/
It's basically the clever response contrived by a member of the ocforums to another article in the LA times that essentially said that all computers are evil and that they are destroying our society. There are three pages to the article, just click the links at the bottom of the text to keep going.
The author of the original article is most likely a feminazi with a sandy vagina who lives alone in an apartment with her seven cats. And she uses a Mac. No doubt. |

Well, I think we can all finally breathe a collective sigh of relief, but then again, we all knew Bush was gonna win it from the beginning anyway, right? After all, he had to win it or we'd all be in very serious trouble when Kerry decided it was time to invite Bin Laden, Hussein, Arafat, and Castro over for tea and muffins.
We were watching CNN and Fox in Pre-Cal when it was announced that Kerry had called Bush and conceded the election. Heh, Kerry would have conceded even if he had won both the popular and electoral vote anyway... he's just a little surrender monkey. |

The UNKLE vs Scratch Perverts full length live CD is the best thing since sliced bread. I had hallucinations while listening to it and watching winamp visualizations. Just need a light buzz and you could get a frontal lobotomy without ever having to move from your chair.
drunkrex.com has some of the funniest and most entertaining drunk binge stories since tuckermax.com, I suggest you guys check it out if you ever get bored.
Diablo II Lord of Destruction kicks ass. It is the only thing holding me back from the listless boredom that creeps around when you aren't working and have absolutely nothing to do online. I currently have a LvL 77 Ladder Concentrate Barb that has yet to leave Nightmare difficulty. v1.10 is a huge improvement in the game despite the greatly increased difficulty factor. The addition of synergies to the skill tree takes your character to new levels of ass romping. Have you ever seen a Sorceress do 6.5k damage/second with Blizzard? Have you ever seen a Barbarian with 3k damage per swing, 2.5k life, and 30k defense? I take back anything bad I've ever said about v1.10.
WoW open beta is due out Sat. or Sun., IRC sources claim. Time for a new chapter in wasting-your-life in front of the computer.
I'm assuming there won't be a collaborated Halloween party because of the Mark/Brett incident, correct? |

I skipped ITSA today. Decided to stay home and realax, watch a movie or something. I had just gotten Requiem For a Dream and I have heard from Andy that it was very good, so I decided to watch it. Holy shit. Most. Depressing. Movie. Ever. I have yet to see Monster, but I expect that to be even worse. No more depressing movies for Wesley. Gotta go pick up my brother now... |

w00t w00t, got my dirt-bike today. Traded it for a laptop :). It's kinda small compared to the one that burned down under me, only 80cc as opposed to the beefy 500cc my old one had. The little bastard is quick though, it takes off fast enough to pop wheelies (in third gear, no less), its no heavier than maybe 100lb, I can easily lift it. Other details: It's an ex-motorcross race bike, watercooled, with powerstroke clutch and bearings. The top speed ain't great, but it picks up like a demon. The only thing I'm worried about is bottoming out the shocks on a jump, since it is a pretty small bike and I weigh a little more than it was meant to carry. Oh yeah, the paintjob on the gas tank is nothing short of total shit. The rear fender is cracked and about ready to fall off, but that's no biggie. Overall, I think I got an awesome deal, aside from the little cosmetic crap... easily fixed.
My current job is awesome. I make $25 an hour on average. For those of you wondering, I make stained glass pieces called Sunflakes for a small company called Natural Curve Creations up in Austin (http://www.naturalcurvecreations.us/). My current project is a set of 20 Magnolias that are part of the order thats due on Sunday. These pieces are hard to make and they take time. I've finished 10 so far, have to do 10 more tomorrow... time is gonna be short. [Here's an aside: Because I've kinda put these pieces off all week, I couldn't come to Roel'z lan, I think he's a little pissed about that, just know it isn't personal.] The only problem is that the orders are pretty fickle, business is not constant. Other than that, the work is fun and I make lots of money working only two hours or so a day. Amber and her husband Jim, the owners of the company are complete tree-hugging, environment-loving, full blown hippies, can't you tell? So yeah, the only problem with my setup is that I can't depend on this job for a steady income. |

My life has been weird lately. Since Sharon and I broke up, I have so much time to myself its not even funny. I can even say I feel liberated. Though, if it weren't for work and Warcraft 3, I don't know what I'd do with myself. Might have even ended up like Roel (no offense man, you're a bum). Well, I'm finding more and more stuff to occupy my mind, still pretty lonely though.
One of the best role models/friends I've ever had has just come back into town after getting his degree at Tech. He coached me in Boxing when I was 13, I really look up to him. His youth belies the wisdom he has somehow managed to accumulate over his 27 year tenure on this world. More on this later, I'm tired.
I think I've just run across a gold mine. Take sloppy joe style ready-made beef brisket, throw it in a pan with about two cups of water and a half a cup of long grain brown rice (brown rice contains complex carbohydrates which are more easily broken down by your system than the simple carbs in white rice) then add black pepper, powdered chicken broth, and garlic salt. Cook that stuff on med-high for about 25 minutes, or until the rice absorbs enough water to become soft. There you go, a quickly improvised fix for hunger. Oh yeah, it tastes good.
Yeah, sorry, its hard to tie sentences together, I don't think I'm the man for that particular task at the moment. I'm about ready to crash; gotta wake up early tomorrow and make up a test in Mr.Fry's class. Oooh, just one episode of X-Men couldn't hurt. Watch me not come to school tomorrow because I didn't wake up on time. I only had four hours of sleep last night, so I guess its excusable. Fuck it, good night.
