Further Examples Why Seventeen Year Olds Should NOT Be Parents

Holy shit. My roommate is dating this girl who's seventeen and has a toddler. He's like 27 or something, but she's emancipated so it's legal and he's all into the young girls for some reason. Anyway, this girl, I don't think she'd ever even babysat before she had her kid. Yesterday we were sitting here, playing Guild Wars, and this girl is over and they're watching Boondock Saints. Of course the toddler is sitting on the couch next to her. I'm not a parent or anything, but I don't think I would want my toddler to be hearing that language or seeing that violence, even if she didn't understand it. So of course the toddler gets restless and she gets off the couch and starts wandering around. At one point I see her running around carrying her mom's box of cigarettes and a lighter. Great toys. Then I see her going into a closet. This house is no where near baby/toddler-proof. I wouldn't want a kid near most of this shit cause they'd either get hurt or break it. Sorry, I do NOT need to be getting in trouble for some kid getting hurt at my place when I didn't want her there in the first place. I don't know if when she's at home, the other adults watch her cause she's family or what. I wouldn't want to impose my child on some one else and that's what's going on when she brings her over here and lets her run around.

woah

I took this picture the other night. a friend held a flashlight on the web so i could get a good picture. spiders are so amazing now that i'm not afraid of them!

last day

today is my last day at this job. WOOOOOOOOOOOOO! yeah. i will miss some of the people i work with, but i will definitely NOT miss all the political bullshit and everything else that goes on around here. i just hope they find some people who can do their jobs. they're at probably a 70/30 of people who can't do anything right, don't know how to do anything, or just plain refuse to. So basically, alls i got left to say is:

THE FAINT

yeah, the faint man. they were so awesome last night. they played a ton of awesome songs! call call, worked up so sexual (not that you thought they wouldn't play that one), agenda suicide, paranoiaattack, take me to the hospital... someone who remembers should list more. i got all caught up and don't remember now. i did however, take awesome pictures!

Orbital

Yay! i just got a rad orbital piercing. when he did the top one, it didn't hurt hardly at all. there was the initial pinch, but then he was movin it around and everything and it was cool. the second hole HURT. he said the closer to the middle of your ear that you get, the more it hurts. i'll buy that. then he had to get the ring through it. it was killer, but now (even though it still hurts a little) i love it. i'm scared for when i clean it, i don't really want to touch the thing, but i KNOW it'll feel nice when i do cause when he cleaned it up afterwards, that coolness felt soooo good. anyway, onto the pictures. one's kind of blurry, but you get the idea.

The Living End

i FINALLY got my own copy of "roll on" by the living end. i first heard it like 3 or so years ago and asked the guy if i could have a copy of it. obviously he never gave me one. i was riding to lunch with this guy i work with and it was playing in his car! i'm listening to it now! i love the bassist, he's awesome. he picked his bass upside down when i saw them and there's a smiley face on the back. also, it's an upright bass. i should find a picture....

ok, found one. he doesn't have his smiley face in this one, but his bass is still fun.

new light

so this was the first time i'd ever been to world market. we got this awesomely sweet light.

!!!!!!

i finally have something i'm excited about and looking forward too. on sept. 1 at 1pm i'm going to be getting my tattoo! it's an awesome design too. i found it on the internet, but redrew it for me. it's a dragon, it's head and body and one wing are blue, but it's tail and other wing go into a tribal design. i know it's not for another almost month, but i made my appointment yesterday and i'm still excited about that. it's such a nicer place than where i got my last one done too. the last one, the place was ok, but the guy was really dirty and kind of scary looking. i would have liked if the girl there had done it, but she'd never done the uv ink before. well, it ended up ok, though (the tat is awesome) and now i have scary tattoo stories to tell. this place i'm going sept 1, there's a reason it's booked till then. it's a really nice place, very clean and sanitary. the people seem awesome and very clean. plus, looking through their tattoo book, they are very good at what they do. ohhhh, i'm so excited. i guess i know now i won't be leaving till after the 1st!

job hunting sucks

it really really does. not only is it hard to find a job i'm qualified for, it's hard to actually apply for them! cover letters and all that shit. i'm going to end up with a job i hate and i know it. only a couple of the ones i've found even seem remotely interesting. the rest seem like too much bullshit. i've found a ton of jobs i'm underqualified for, but then i find jobs i could do and it's like... high school, no experience so i feel very overqualified for those. if i was alone, i'd have been out of here months ago. i'd have taken a crappy job at like best buy or some random computer repair shop just so i could have left. he doesn't know how close i am every day to just packing up my car and driving off. i stay because of him. damn it.

circles

i saw a commercial for the dukes of hazard movie. it's funny because kids much younger than me probably wouldn't have watched the dukes of hazard, but this movie would prompt them to start. so now we've got a whole new generation of younger kids watching the same shows as us and laughing at them, but for completely different reasons than us. it's always the same.

Kaska

hehe, i made a little tiger for my blog. ok ok, i didn't make it, i adopted it from some much more clever person. but still! i named it kaska because that's what i named my dog in a dream i had. yeah, i'm a sucker for cute things. but don't cross me or i'll kill you

religious?

i was at my parents house today taking care of the animals. they're out of town for their 30th anniversary. they never took me to estes park . ANYWAY, i was looking at some stuff laying around and thinking about the fact that my parents are very religious people. i am not. i don't know if they know that yet, i really don't talk to them about stuff that matters. but my parents are at least the right type of religious. yeah, they do the whole church and praying and blah blah blah, but it's honestly for them. they aren't the judgy kind of christian or the "you're going to hell if you do ______" type of christian. and i've never heard them say to anyone that they aren't the right religion. they're the kind of christian that accepts everyone as god's creation, no matter what you do, think, or believe. if you ask me, there needs to be more people like my parents and less of them worried about what everyone else is doing.

overdramatic

some people are so overdramatic, i hate them. it's not that big of a deal, geez. i dont' even know what they're talking about, but it's probably a relationship and that's just fucking retarded and annoying. in other news, i chopped off my hair after cleaning the house and taking out the trash in the rain. i love the rain.

Dennis Cooper

I've been reading Dennis Cooper's blog. yeah, i'm a nerd. anyway, he was talking about writing cause some jerk was teaching a writing class and telling kids the "rules" and he had to say that that guy was a jerk. anyway, he said something kind of cool so i thought i'd repeat it here.

Fiction is a drug. The reader is a druggie. The writer is
the chemist designing a drug that will give the reader
an ideal high. Don't design a drug that already exists.
If you do, no one will remember the high you gave them.

hooray. now it's time to get ready for work. and my roommate's girlfriend is leaving. she's weird. she has NEVER once said hi to me and barely even looked at me. even when i've said hi to her!!! what a stupid whore.

hot

it is wayyyyy too hot. and our fridge broke. it's nasty. the kitchen smells like shit now. landlord is coming over later to look at it and hopefully fix it. may not be till tomorrow though.
i have the house to myself for the next couple days. well, not exactly to myself, but i hardly ever see my other roommate anyways. i have a feeling i'll be cleaning a lot... that's what i tend to do when i get bored. there's also video games and harry potter. i'm a little way through that book. i have to finish it and give it back to my mother soon.

well

i got minish cap for my birthday sunday and i'm almost done with it. i've been playing it almost nonstop. it's a really fun game... you get to fly in this one. there were a bunch of things i wanted to do, but i started a series of events which i think will lead me straight to the end. hopefully they let you play after you've beat the big bad guy (this one's is vaati... no ganondorf, hmm).

bleh, i feel like shit

Jesus Christ, why don't you come save my life now

fuck. everything is stupid. everyone is stupid. i hate them all; i hate this all; don't worry, i hate me too. no real point to writing this, i wanted that quote somewhere. it just sounds so sarcastic, i fucking love it.

OoOoh

i just made my first packet filter with OpenBSD. it's cool cause it's a bridge so it's transparent. it has no ip so you can't ping it, it doesn't make traffic, etc. i got bad instructions from some guy on the internet. most of what he did worked, but his rulesets were bunk. luckily we figured it out and it ended up being a lot shorter than the guy's. and the top of my pf.conf has a cute little face. he looks like this:

                                 \\\//
                                 (o o)
----------------------------oo0o--(_)--o0oo----------------------

hooray for ascii creativity. So if anyone is a nerd/geek/computerperson/interested-in-transparent-filters, read on. if not, stop now for the next bit will be boring and nonunderstandable.
