It has been two years since I had went to something. The concerts of Alanis Morisette and Filter still remain in my memory. Now, it's Dane Cook's turn. I will be in the third row from the stage.
The night before Thanksgiving I had an assignment, discussion question, and two responses due. The assignment was supposed to be due on Thursday. I work away on one for a couple of hours. I look at the calender and found it was the wrong one!! It was about 10 PM at this point. I had less than two hours to read over the other assignment, research, and type that up. At about five minutes before the deadline it was finished. I got an A on it. All I want to say is, thanks for rescheduling at the most inconvenient time.
Thanksgiving was a blast. Went up to Rick and JoAnne's with Mom and Justin. We looked through newspapers and had a fantastic meal. We saw a deer pass by. We had some fun sledding in Justin's car. Then on the way home, right around a corner, there was another deer...and Justin has fantastic brakes.
In other news, the new mystery man is probably history. He kept on making and breaking plans. Just when I was losing hope, Josh is back. More details later about his disappearance. I thought he left because all of the drama that Jeff started in Rob's house. Hopefully, I will have someone in my life so Paul will leave me be.

One Offended By Pride
I think that just about everyone is prejudice. It does not matter what race, religion, or sexual orientation. White people are racist. Black people are racist. Hispanics are racist. Native Americans are racist. Some straight people hate homosexuals. In a nutshell, pride shows hate.
I dislike gay pride like I dislike black pride. I do not like white supremacists. I do not like male or female chauvinists. I do not like activists. Simply because of the fact that they are double standards. These are people that hate others who hate them for who they are.
It's like Morgan saying that he cannot get a job because he is brown. No. Nobody will hire him because he has a criminal record and has a bad attitude. It's like the one guy that I worked with at the movie theater. He got in trouble for slacking off. He said that he was in trouble because he was gay. No, no, no. People use pride as a scapegoat to get away with anything.
I like the fact that I have different cultures, choices, and beliefs around me. People may say I'm naive and look at the world through rose glasses. I don't, I know people are hateful and live to dictate everyone else's lives when it is none of their fucking business.
I was discriminated against for the longest time, I still am. Not too long ago, I went to the smoke shop. This place never asks for my identification. 21 is the legal limit. There was an older gentleman before me. The cashier asked for his birth date and that was it. I go up there, she asks for my card. I lectured her on ageism. She started laughing at me. She stated that she is supposed to card if someone looks under 35. 35?? LEGAL AGE IS 21!! By the end of the sale, she asked if there was anything else. I told her, "Better service next time." (I love Idaho!)
I was discriminated against because I am from a small town. Teachers in Boise told me that I was only taught about farming. Fuck you, Borah! I was discriminated because I was in Special Education. People thought that I did not have the ability to remember who they were. Little did I know, I did not have a learning disability. I have a learning style that nobody could cater to. I was upset because students AND teachers bullied me and got away with it. I was stuck on the medication and in special ed??
Which makes me want to ramble about something off topic. What the hell is wrong with Arizona? Did Hitler possess the governor? The schools are measuring overweight students and sending them home with a note.
Anyway, the whole point of this is that bullying has gone too far. If technology was the same when I was going to school as it is today, we would be in a different place. Whatever happened to taking electronics away from students? Great, now I am aging myself. Things were taken away like Walkmans and beepers. (Beepers are pagers for those who do not know. (Pagers were before we knew what a cell phone was.))
If you have not caught on to what I am talking about it is cyberbullying. It seems that people forgot about those who have been put in the hospital or committed suicide until a man was taped kissing another man.
What is offending me is the gay pride turning this into hate toward gay people. We should have stopped bullying a LONG time ago. The jerk that posted the video online committed voyeurism. Then harassment and defamation of character by posting it onto the Internet.
People need to stop bullying, period. It should not matter what sexual orientation or color. If someone is being a bully or talking crap online, report it. Do not take vengeance into your own hands. Besides, if you believe in bad karma like I do; the bully is going to suffer anyway.

Shame on Matt Lauer
Who ever gave Matt Lauer the right to interrogate people? He should be interrogated for crappy journalism. Journalists do not interrogate, they investigate.
I have pissed and moaned about Kanye West. I am not alone when I say, "Shut-up, Kanye West!" Think twice when you are in the public eye before taking any action. He demolished his talent. I admired his work at one point, then he said that President Bush hated black people? Then that crap with Taylor Swift? Seriously, shut your yapper you biased prick.
I do not like President Bush either. I have two points of view on him. He is a big talker as well. Presidents are victims of quick generalization. The economy went to crap because of irresponsible financial decisions; not the president. Nature happened because of nature; not the president. Pollution happened because people are lazy; not the president.
I still think President Bush is a dumb ass and was afraid McCain was going to be President Bush II. I had long forgotten how I felt about him in the first place, he is a sweet man. I watched him in Looking for Lincoln and I think my fondness and inspiration was rekindled.
Then Matt Lauer had to come by and start crap. Why Matt? Why? Why did you give this type of interview when you have shown the public your infidelity?
He had to ask President Bush about what Kanye West said. Let sleeping dogs lay. President Bush is clearly upset when he said it was the worst point of his presidency. Really? It's a childish celebrity for crying out loud! Once again, Bush is turned into a crybaby just like Mr. West.
Then Lauer had to take the footage and interrogate Kanye. The "journalist" said it was normal??? Give me a break Matt! You upset President Bush and you upset Kanye. I could feel that guys pain. I could truly feel what Kanye was going through. Matt is a dick and a horrible journalist. Way to go.
Finally, Kanye made a smart decision. He cancelled his concert and did not perform for the Today Show. For once, I give Kanye a kudos. Good for Kanye for sticking it to crappy journalists that do not know any better.
To conclude, Mr. Lauer does not deserve the position he is in.

Things You Can Do With Carrots
Mind out of the gutter! By mistake, carrots were grown. I do not eat carrots; it would improve my vision though. Now, I have two huge bags of carrots. I have a bunch of random things in my cupboards. What to do...
So, I took a trip to www.food.com because it is my favorite website. It used to be recipezaar.com, but the cool name was changed to something more simple. Ick. Anyway, I found a recipe for carrot cake and then I found one for carrot oat muffins. A few substitutions here and there and viola!
Aren't you jealous? I also discovered that I like to cook with jalapenos. I do not like spicy food but if you cook a jalapeno; it is not spicy. Spice is subtle and it is tangy. I'm kind of sad my pepper plants died right now. I made this amazing dish with shrimp, garlic, white wine vinegar, tomatoes, and jalapenos. No pictures, very sorry. It was delicious.
On a side note, I am getting things taken care of. I soaked Dino and cleaned his tank. Frank got his nails done. Oreo got her shots, she has plaque. I also took her to get her hair done.

I Don't Believe In Unicorns, But...
But, I do believe in aliens. I spent a day trying to put videos about the possibilities of aliens into my favorites. The History Channel had some kind of alien show marathon for Halloween. I figured it would be the same crap I always watch.
On YouTube, I find the stronger arguments that they may exist. Experts have come across a theory called the landing pad theory. Most of the footage I watched on television was about how artifacts were found in Aztec and Ancient Egyptian findings. You would think that the figurines found would be birds but they are shaped like airplanes. Airplanes didn't even exist then. When airplanes were invented, people were seeing UFOs. What I think is that aliens do not like a little bit of competition. Either that or the pilots were breathing fumes and seeing stuff.
That wasn't what caught my attention. There is one mess of lines found in a mountain somewhere. Some experts speculate that it looks like a runway. So what? Check this out. Sometime during a world war, I can't remember if it was the Air Force, the military chose an island for a base. These people were so fascinated because they have never seen airplanes before. The natives got free food and they helped build the base in return. When the military left, the natives made shrines that look like airplanes in hopes that they would return. In essence, the artifacts point to people making objects for the beings to return. The mess of lines were made by people for beings. Maybe it's pretty far fetched.
Then there is an old tale from India. The story indicates that technology for nuclear bombs were used in a battle between beings and humans perished. I think it is a little weird or people are just imaginative. I can think of things that don't even exist and then they are available. I would give you a reference but since I have never published any of my writing, you are s.o.l. Anyway, what makes the tale so interesting is a village that perished long ago in a far off land. Experts believe that something as powerful as an atomic bomb struck this village.
So, I watch weird stuff. Maybe I can become an expert in paranormal activities. Perhaps I would like to get to the bottom of my dreams and see which ones are telling me something and which ones are not.
I had an unusual dream last night that I was hanging out at dad's house, which was still the trailer. Dad was there and Andrea was there. I have no idea why she was there, it was weird. Then there was something about Justin causing a disturbance and was arrested for it.
It was pretty weird. I had to ask how he was doing just to make sure nothing was going on. I always have to ask. Especially, since I foresaw a horrible accident a few years ago. I never questioned it until after someone died in a motorcycle accident. Do you blame me?
So, if you hear from me and I'm asking funny questions...I probably had a dream about you. Either that or I'm saying hey, trying to visit, or trying to gather information for some crafty idea.

Oreo
So, I did my normal fall coffee routine at Albertson's the other day. They have a peppermint mocha that is fantabulous. As I walked in, I saw an ad on the board about a dog that had to be given up. Their daughter is allergic to dogs.
I grabbed the e-mail address and sent them a message. The next day, I get a phone call to come take a look at her. He warned me she hasn't had a haircut. I set some plans aside to put together Dino's sunbathing area.
I come and take a look. Very sweet animal, her name is Oreo. Very fluffy and stinky. Plans came rolling, need to find a groomer and I need to give her a bath. She needs shots and a license. I figured that she would get shots anyway because the moment I moved to Nampa Frank got his, again.
Oreo said good-bye to some kids. The owners want to meet again so the wee one can say hello. Poor child. I broke a little girls heart. Well, parents do need to make tough choices.
I took her to meet mom and helped establish the connection to the Wii. I kick as at bowling. Strike, strike, strike. If it only it were that easy in person. Then I went home and fed the animals and gave Oreo a bath. It was like Christmas, I had a bunch of new suits that mom gave me. Now, I can get rid of the other ones that do not fit me anymore.
Today, I had to go purchase a set of doorknobs and deadbolts. Strange things have been happening in the home. I cam home to a partially open back door. Roger has been saying he has been hearing people. Haunted house? So, more doorknobs...Front door lock is going on the bedroom. I have to have dad come over with a drill to install a deadbolt. Grrrr. I hate hate hate this neighborhood. It's crap and the police are too lazy to do anything.
Anyhoo, I am off to bed. Long week ahead. Frank needs his nails to be done and Oreo is going to get her shots.

Invention for Basking
Poor Dino has no place to bask. It is very difficult to find a place that sells the right gear for a red eared slider. It's easy in the begining. He was only a couple of inches when I bought the little critter.
The first thing that went wrong was the floating dock with the plastic brackets and suction cups. Suction cups stay on things for a short while. The bottom part of the bracket was floating and Dino got stuck under water with it.
Then a pile of bricks was put into the tank. The tank is glass and Dino is an interior decorator. I took the bricks out. Which makes me think twice about going to a river bed and picking up a huge rock. Dino is 6 inches now and very strong.
I get a magnetic dock. Which did work until the water found a hole in the top and sunk the dock. Once again leaving Dino with no place to bask.
I go to Petco to buy a new light bulb. They of course, DO NOT have anything for my turtle that I BOUGHT FROM THEM. (It's kind of like Sears.) The guys helping me find a light bulb had the balls to say, "It's a requirement to have a basking area." Really? Tell that to Petco, jackass.
So, for the past couple of days I have been looking for a resolution. The resolution is requiring me to buy a new filter. I saw a Turtle Cliff, which is cool. It has a filter built into it.
Then I'm going to see if the heat lamp is still in the house. I need a milk crate and some of the chicken wire. I'm going to put together an area for the heat to come in and for Dino to sun bathe. Then I am thinking of putting together a dock from items from the dollar store and maybe get some turf for reptiles to cover it.

No Regrets
Sometimes I wonder if I ever made a mistake. Did I make a mistake for letting him live here? I made the mistake of helping him. Sometimes I think I made a mistake by leaving him. He confirmed it wasn't a mistake the same day by posting pictures of their hands with rings on them.
He still owes me $200. Never chipped in on bills. Never fixed the things he broke. Gradually, I get my life back together. Slowly, things are vanishing that he did and I recover some things that were lost. My computer mouse was in his yard sale crap across the street.
The deal: fix the damage or no Internet access. Roger fixed the hole above the door. I cleaned up the back patio. I cleaned the duct tape gunk off the floor. Dad helped me take down the chain link fence and I took down the chicken wire.
My Internet access was being hogged the other night. What is more important? Certainly not his welfare. Isn't he with someone else? Isn't he sponging off of someone else? I had to fight with him while he lived here to respect my education. My education is still being disrespected when I have to take time off to fix what he did. He is causing a commotion with my education when I cannot access the Internet. I am more important. I pay for everything here. My education is more important than some low life who does not have a job. No more sympathy.
He tried to become a friends with benefits. What benefit do I get? I can be my own friend with benefits, thank-you. He probably did the same thing to me as he is doing to Sandy. I tell him no.
I had to fight with Qwest about screwing up my Internet. They said something was wrong with the pin. For four days, I had to be plugged directly into my modem. Here he was suddenly wondering what happened to the Internet when he supposedly wasn't using it. He needed it to get some one's number for a job. Really?
Go to the library. Go to McDonald's. Make Sandy, your wife, get Internet. You fucking virus. As soon as my Internet was fixed, he noticed. I told him he broke the deal. What deal? Um, fix the damage you did. He said try having five-year-old. Yeah, and his daughter is in school.
Probably selling crap on Craigslist without Sandy's knowledge. Getting more pills. Playing Farmville. Wrecking her home. When he lived here, I purchased another computer so he could look for a job on another. He could have had a job by now. Dumb ass. He said not to worry, he can go get access at McDonald's.
Finally, he is leaving my life. By the way, the dating sites are shit. I deleted all my profiles. I will hope for the best. I am still trying to meet the new guy. I don't think it's going to happen. Screw this shit.
