Apr. 12th, 2009 @ 11:58 pm How shall I update this...

So first day off since the end of festival and what happens? I get a bad eye infections. So for most of the weekend I've been mostly light sensitive and my eye is blood red. The light sensitive is mostly gone but for the next three days it will still be blood red. I have work at 8:30 in the morning and will probably have to wear sunglasses at work, again. My manager will probably have a field day with this. My Supervisor will most just not care. Chances are the manager will try to get me sent home and make me wait the last of my PTO and have a attendance point placed against me. Oh, and they probably 'fix' my time card from Friday where I didn't take a lunch break.

.... I'll do more later.

Yes, Festival went great and my new outfit was pretty spiffy too, Got a bunch of new toys and got invited to do a Pirate festival in a few more weeks we're I'm going to be in two different fights. I'm excited amd when my partner and I ran the fight for the director we actual got him to laugh at part of it.

Looking into taking a class or two again or seeing about actual taking a full cooking course to get some certification, Maybe takeup martial Arts again and get back into a better shape. Things just rolling in my head.

Apr. 25th, 2008 @ 03:26 am Days gone past

There are times I question that which was and the choices made. I'm questioning somethings about my past that I thought I'd layed to rest. Couple of things are still bothering me. Oh, I took that job offer and put in my notice with the other place. Next week I've got a brand new job. Already had to go out to start getting new work shirts and just ordered some fancy new office/business/professional looking attire. Just need to find new shoes/boots and slacks that will holdup to the way I move around in my clothes. People keep moving in and out of my life and that's kinda fine but there are one or two things recently that have affected me. I've spent so much time just paving over things that it kinda weird. Someones moving away. Haven't really been talking to them alot in the past year but that's not the real issue. Err, I'm just rambling and nothing really anything anyone wants to hear, guess I mostly do this to empty my mind into someplace moderately 'safe'. Night, Night

Apr. 20th, 2008 @ 11:49 pm Days of Wandering

So my heads been wandering lately and I'm starting to think things again. Someone made a comment to me not long before Fare ended and it got me wondering about a few things. Not sure where I am but part of me is happy, kinda. Got a new job offer that will pay better benefits start like 30 days after hire. Problem is I can't put in the two weeks I'd like to. Guess that's nothing new. I've got about another day or two to decide. If i take it it will be a great step back to what I was enjoying but it also means I have to go back to morning work. Nights don't bother me but rarely see my roommates and hangout with people only happens on weekends, mostly. Been having insomnia from this job too due to the hours (getting out at midnight sucks.) Still in my relationship and things still seem to be going great. had to have work done to the jeep again and this time it was more than just a little btt. $400. Yeah, had to borrow and will have to pay back ASAP but I've also got insurance due next month. Ugg, going to soak and maybe unwind a it.

Apr. 10th, 2008 @ 10:48 am Time moves and so do we....

So I guess I've been slacking off just a bit here. Bite me (please, I'd love to return the favor.) Not much has been new with me lately. Been interviewing for a new job for about the last month and now they seem to be having a problem giving a solid yes or no whether they want to hire me, guess it's time for a call to the lawyers office. Guess I can say lifes been good to me in some ways and only so-so in others. Bay Area Ren Fest is over but I'm already looking to jump in with a pirate festival going on in a few months. Still seeing Erin but not sure where we're going to be heading too. The house is mostly doing great except the Land Lords been hinting about raising the rent, he really isn't going to like us when we give him the list of things that have to be done before they even think about that idea. Saw alot of people I haven't seen in a while at festival this year: FIsh, Even, Tara, Mike, and even more. Work kinda sucks lately as we're hearing rumors again about getting shut down. Amusing thing happened the other day as I was walking down from the parking structure, ran into Brian Dare the old director for the Tampa Theater Show. He's working for a company that shares the same complex as us and is working lead IT for them. Still has his Mohawk and still looks mostly the same (well, except for the frantic stressed part of managing that cast.) Laughing as I've been watching some people go scrambling to do their taxes last minute. Why do so many people wait? It's your money that the IRS is holding, GO AFTER IT! Oh well, guess it just leads to some people making more money by getting to charge "Rush Fees" (Your a Dumbass for waiting so long to get these done fees.) Well guess when it's all done they can go back to making amazing costumes and playing with their shiny snow toys. Had a couple of other things happening to me but mostly I'm here, alive and life is still moving on. Oh, keep forgetting to put that pic of my Tat up. Yes, I finally went and got a Tat done. Well, thinking about it maybe I should have someone take another picture of it when it's not all still sore and shiny.

Well, guess that's it for the night

Feb. 26th, 2008 @ 02:35 am Unlocking the Brain

So you've come to join me on another episode of let's turn the crank in Adam's brains and see what comes out.

Life's been pretty good for the most part. I'm coming to reallly dislike my job at times. Sure they trust me but I'm just not really feeling happy there anymore, nor feeling challenged. I'm kinda finding my mind wandering and thinking of any number of different things. I've actually found myself thinking up complex math problems to see how I might be able to solve them with different formula patterns when I'm not playing around not doing my actual job and findign different ways to get around the varius interent barriers/filters they have on the computers. Still can't some sites but found a way to get onto and play on a few of the internet game sites.

Personal lifes been a bit of a interesting trip. Still dating Erin and it's been nearly 7 months now without any kind of fight or major problems. Sometimes worry if I'm the right person for her, she still seems young in the heart. Guess that's good in some ways and bad in others. Just don't want her to get hurt. Reason being that I just had to deal with having two of my roommates that have been together for the past five years breakup and have to start over in the dating department. It's kinda seems to be changing them each a little different but they're also getting along better now. Guess I'm saying i don't want her to have any regrets.

Rocky's been well.....Rocky. A little Drama here and there but mostly it's been quiet. Got new video's, new preshows, new blood and alot of new energy in the show.

Festival started last weekend and I have to say I like the energy that's mostly flowing. Still trying to find the energy of my characters rythem for this show but I'm already adjusting him to fit in best. Hmm, I always seem to be trying to be that, in my personal, professional and performing life, a kind of balancer/medium. However I got a fantastic surprise one the first day, finally got to see someone who I've been missing for almost two years now, Ali. Yeah she's working the Crimson Leather booth and still looks great and she seems to be doing great too.

Had a good friend who feel like a brother to me move out of the house and all the way to Coco beach. I miss him alot but he seems to be keeping in touch with us. Kinda pissed me off when he first left, felt like a piece of something was missing. Came to realize what that piece was, a piece of Family. That's what people don't seem to realize about me sometimes, I may not express it much but I love my Family and will do most anything for them.

Well, guess that's most everything for tonight.

Current Location: HOS
The fires within: Warm

Hmm, posting about things and how things are.

Lifes been, mm, different in the past few months. I kinda moved in with some friends at the end of July and I've noticed a lot of changes in myself begining to emerge. I still not the 100% open I should be bur things just really feel different. I', also in a relation ship with someone I'm coming to care allot about. I'm not saying that I haven't cared about past relationships before but it was difficult when I had to hold my cards close to myself. I'll admit my prev relationship kinda fucked with me more than I actually admitted to share and I kinda stayed mad at somethings for a while. Beat myself up over some of them too. I finally came to realize I couldn't beat myself up about things as the other person had their own issues that they had to figure out for themselves, sometimes people have to find there own path before their ready to be in a solid relationship. Sometimes it has to go that hopes for planning for later has no merit in the here and now. I still kinda check on them every once in a while to be sure their alright but for them most part I'm glad their life is going on. My current relationship in going great. Actually we just got back from a weekend camping trip together with friends where we got to spend some really extended quality time together but I found myself smiling several times during work just thinking about her and the weekend we spent together. Where does the time go, where does it go. I just turned 30 in August and it's almost the end of November in just a blink of the eye.

Jul. 21st, 2007 @ 12:25 am Soon to be Birthday post

So my B-day is coming up soon and were going to have a party at my new house then. Trying to decide what I want. I'm acctually thing of getting my own computer instead of always using someone elses or the family one. SO here's the dilema, either build one or buy one. Resonable thinking i have the knowledge to build and put together a computer but i need the parts and to decide which ones to get or I have the option of just ordering one which will cost some $ to get it done right with everything I'd like in there. No one will probaly read this but just putting it up cause by brain keeps telling me too. SO I guess what I want for my B-day is either money(cash), GC(from dell), or parts(Lighted full Case w/ power and 3-4 Fans, HD, Memory 2gb, Sound card, video card, and many many more stuff)

Or I'll take some cigars and a humidor.

May. 21st, 2007 @ 01:03 pm Gumbo Cooking. FireHouse, TX

Van's Cajun Style Seafood Gumbeaux (Gumbo) Ingredients:
2 lbs. Ground Sausage ( Sage )
2 Whole Chickens ( Take skin off chickens )
2 lbs. Beef Linked Sausage ( Ekrich )
1 Large Bundle of Celery
1 Bunch of fresh Parsley
1 Bunch of Green Onion Blades
1 Lg. Sweet Videlia Onion
1 Sm. Green Bell Pepper
1 tbls. of Minced Garlic
2 Lg. Bags of chopped Okra
1 14oz. can Stewed Tomatoes
1 Sm. can Tomato Sauce
2 lbs. Shrimp ( Hey--It is Seafood Gumbo ) De-shelled already cooked shrimp is fine.
1 lb. Crayfish meat
1 doz. fresh raw oysters ( optional )
-----SPICES----
1 Can of green label "Tony Chachere's Creole Seasoning" ( Don't get excited, you will not use the whole can. )
1/2 tsp. Curry
** Salt (To Taste)
** Pepper (To Taste)
1 Tbls. Brown Sugar
1/2 Doz. Drops of Louisiana Red ( Tabasco Sauce, you can't beat it. )
How to gitter' dun.
While cooking sausage in large cast iron black skillet over medium heat, bring to boil the chickens in large stock pot. Add about 2-3 tsps. of Tony's Seasoning, a couple pinches of salt, a shake or two of Black Pepper, Curry, and Tabasco, to the chicken broth in stock pot. After getting the broth boiling, back the heat down to medium, and cook for about another 45 minutes. Now, back to the sausage, don't burn the sausage, but cook it to the point of of past medium brown. Then take sausage and squeeze out excess grease, keeping as much grease in the skillet as possible, and set the sausage aside. The grease now becomes your base for your roux. This next step is the most important. The roux is the secret to a good flavored gumbo. Add flour ( All-Purpose or Self-Rising--I don't care which, remember I'm a fireman trying to cook a good meal before the next emergency comes over the firehouse speaker ) Also add a little salt, black pepper, and Tony's 3-4 good shakes. Add flour slowly stirring and blending the flour into the sausage grease, using low heat, you want this process to take a while. It takes at least 3 minutes to cook the flour taste out and I will cook roux for an hour maybe longer, You want the mixture to keep a liquid, but thick consistency. The color of a good roux will go from dark brown to a deep reddish brown, but don't keep the heat so hot the mixture will burn. While cooking slowly, I will be preparing the celery, parsley( a small amount ) Green onion blades, onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic to be placed in a food processor. Take the veggies to a liquefied state, and set aside. By now your chickens should be done so remove from broth and let chickens cool down ( because boning hot chickens want feel good to your fingers. ) While broth is still hot add okra and liquefied veggies along with stewed tomatoes and tomato sauce. Bring broth back to a boil, because after putting in thawed okra and cool veggies your broth temperature will drop. After reaching a boil again take heat down to a simmer. Taste your broth now for flavor check, you may need more salt and some more Tony's. Remember the roux! Now take a ladle, that's the 2-3 inch deep spoon in your utensil drawer that never gets used, and slowly add some of your broth mixture to your big skillet of roux. Stir in just one ladle full for now, I like to use a fork for stirring because I can scrape the skim off the bottom where the flavor is, repeat with another ladle full keeping a nice thick look to the roux, with your heat still low to medium under your roux, you will now start to add the roux back to your broth. Don't add the roux all at once, I like to thicken up the gumbo slowly. As your gumbo starts to thicken I will take more broth out and thin the roux down again, add back to the roux and make that roux increase again, then after several minutes and the roux re-thickens, back again I will go adding back to the gumbo, always leaving some roux in the skillet. This may sound like a lot of work, well it is, but it is worth it when someone says: This is the best gumbeaux I have ever had. Now that your gumbo has the thickness you like and the okra has cooked down ( You've probably simmered your gumbo a couple of hours by now ). While you are slowly simmering your gumbo, bring a 3 qt. pot of water to boil with a seasoning bag of good, Shrimp Boil, found in a yellow and blue box at the store. Add shrimp for just a few minutes, they will turn pink and float to the top, don't over cook. Take shrimp out of shrimp boil mixture and remove shells after the shrimp has cooled down. Then add to gumbo. If your using precooked shrimp don't cook it again just add to gumbo a few minutes before serving. Note: For extra flavor and thickness put a bottle of FILE ( Sassafras leafs ) on the table and let each person add to their individual serving of gumbo.

On a long and lonesome highway east of Omaha
You can listen to the engines moaning out as one note song
You think about the woman or the girl you knew the night before

But your thoughts will soon be wandering the way they always do
When you're riding sixteen hours and there's nothing much to do
And you don't feel much like riding, you just wish the trip was through

Here I am - on the road again
There I am - up on the stage
Here I go - playing star again
There I go - turn the page

So you walk into this restaurant strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you, as you're shaking off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you, but you just want to explode

Yeah, most times you can't hear 'em talk, other times you can
All the same old clich's, "Is it woman? Is it man?"
And you always seem outnumbered, you don't dare make a stand
Make your stand

Oo-ooh, out there in the spotlight, you're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy you try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body like the music that you play, yeah

Later in the evening, you lie awake in bed
With the echoes of the amplifiers ringing in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette, remembering what she said
What she said

Murphy's Laws of Combat

If the enemy is in range, so are you.
Incoming fire has the right of way.
Automatic weapons --aren't.
Suppressive fire -- won't.
Don't look conspicuous, it draws fire.
There is always a way.
When in doubt, empty the magazine.
Teamwork is essential. It gives them someone else to shoot at
No combat ready unit ever passed inspection.
No inspection ready unit ever passed combat.
The easy way is always mined.
Beer math: two beers times 37 men equal 49 cases.
Body count math: two guerillas plus one portable plus two pigs equal 37 enemy KIA.
Things that must be together to work usually can't be shipped together.
Radios will fail as soon as you need fire support desperately.
Anything you do can get you shot, including doing nothing.
Tracers work both ways.
Try to look unimportant, they may be low on ammo.
Professionals are predictable, it's the amateurs that are dangerous.
The enemy invariably attacks on two occasions: (a) when you're ready for them and (b) when you're not ready for them.
If you can't remember, then the claymore is pointed at you.
The important things are always simple.
The simple things are always hard.
The enemy diversion you have been ignoring will be the main attack.
A "sucking chest wound" is nature's way of telling you to slow down.
If your attack is going well, you have walked into an ambush.
Never draw fire, it irritates everyone around you.
Make it tough enough for the enemy to get in and you won't be able to get out.
Never share a foxhole with anyone braver than yourself.
All 5-second grenade fuses will burn out in 3.
If you're short of everything but the enemy, you're in a combat zone.
When you have secured an area, don't forget to tell the enemy.
Never forget that your weapon is made by the lowest bidder.
If you take more than your fair share of objectives, you will have more than your fair share of objectives to take.
When both sides are convinced that they are about to lose, they are both right.
Professional soldiers are predictable, but the world is full of amateurs.
Murphy was a grunt.

A family is at the dinner table. The son asks his father, "Dad, how many kinds
of boobs are there?"

The father, surprised, answers, "Well, son, there are three kinds of breasts. In her 20's, a woman's breasts are like melons, round and firm. In her 30's to 40's, they are like pears, still nice but hanging a bit. After 50, they are like onions."

"Onions?"

"Yes, you see them and they make you cry."

This infuriated his wife and daughter so the daughter said, "Mom, how many kinds of 'willies' are there?"

The mother, surprised, smiles and answers, "Well dear, a man goes through three phases. In his 20's, his willy is like an oak tree, mighty and hard.

In his 30's and 40's, it is like a birch, flexible but reliable. After his
50's, it is like a Christmas Tree."

"A Christmas Tree?"

"Yes, dead from the root up and the balls are just for decoration."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Englishman's wife steps up to the tee. As she bends over to place her ball, a gust of wind blows her skirt up and reveals a lack of underwear.

"Good God woman! Why aren't you wearing any undies?" her husband demanded. "Well, you don't give me enough housekeeping money to afford any." The Englishman immediately reaches into his pocket and says "For the sake of decency, here's £20. Go buy yourself some underwear."

Next, the Irishman's wife bends over to set her ball on the tee. Her skirt also blows up to show that she too is wearing no undies.

"Blessed Virgin Mary, woman! You've no undies. Why not?" She replies "I can't afford any on the money you give me." He reaches into his pocket and says "For the sake of decency, here's £10. Go buy yourself some underwear!"

Lastly the Scotsman's wife bends over. The wind also takes her skirt over her head to reveal that she, too, is naked under it. "Sweet mudder of Jesus, Aggie! Where are yer drawers?"

She too explains "You dinna give me enough money ta be able ta affarrd any." The Scotsman reaches into his pocket and says "Well, fer the love 'o Jesus, here's a comb. Tidy yerself up a bit."

Basic Bath Bomb Recipe

Gather your ingredients:

• 1/2 part citric acid
• 2/3 parts baking soda
• Witch hazel
• Coloring of your choice
• Fragrance oil of your choice
• Bath Bomb Mold

gather ingredients

step one
blend ingredients

BLEND BLEND BLEND BLEND the citric acid and baking soda – this step is super important – if you don’t blend well, you end up with a grainy bomb. We actually use a mixer on our larger batches.
step two
add color

Once you’ve blended really well, add your colorant. Dry pigments work best – don’t add too much though – the color shows up once you add the witch hazel.

step three
add fragrance

Add fragrance oils to your personal nose preference.

step four packing the mold

Now, this is the difficult part. Spritz (with a squirt bottle) the witch hazel onto your batch while stirring with the other hand. When your batch sticks together when squished, you need to start putting it in molds – time is of the essence. If you wait too long, the mixture will get hard. If you spritz too much, the mixture will be too wet and “grow” (start the fizzing reaction) on you.

step five finished bath bombs

Put the bombs in molds – wait a few minutes and tap them out. Let them air dry for 3 or 4 hours and voila! Wonderful, hard bath bombs. The harder you pack the bath bombs, the more dense, heavy, and durable bomb you will get.

So I slept like the dead last night. Went home, took one of the meds and , think, that was it. Woke up early and felt pretty good till about half way through the day. Minior Ache but I can manage.

Also, the other issue is being taken care of. Funny, I'm not so pissed anymore. Well guess it teaches me that anyone who knows me long enough will eventually know how to push my buttons to set me off. Actually, thinking about it, don't think they realived they were doing it or even knew how to do it.

Well guess I can find something else to do with the time now.

I've been suffering from a reoccuring migraine since sunday night. The soonest my regular MD can see me is Thurdays afternoon. One of my Pahrmasists called one of their Dr freinds and had me describe the migrain (the area of the brain, how it felt, what I was sensative to and a few other things) and then faxed over a script for some good drugs to get me though for a couple of days! These Guys Rock so HardCore!

Problems No matter how great and destructive your problems may seem now, remember, you've probably only seen the tip of them	Procrastination Hard work often pays off after time, but laziness always pays off now.	Quality The race for quality has no finish line- so technically, it's more like a death march.



Regret It hurts to admit when you make mistakes - but when they're big enough, the pain only lasts a second	Retirement Because you've given so much of yourself to the Company that you don't have anything left we can use.	Risks If you never try anything new, you'll miss out on many of life's great disappointments.



Sacrifice Your role may be thankless, but if you're willing to give it your all, you just might bring success to those who outlast you.	Sacrifice (Temple) All we ask here is that you give us your heart.	Strife As long as we have each other, we'll never run out of problems.



Stupidity Quitters never win, winners never quit, but those who never win AND never quit are idiots.	Success Some people dream of success, while other people live to crush those dreams.	Teamwork A few harmless flakes working together can unleash an avalanche of destruction.



Trouble Luck can't last a lifetime unless you die young.	Underachievement The tallest blade of grass is the first to be cut by the lawnmower.

'Grunts and squeaks' wins Bad Sex Award

LONDON, England (AP) -- First-time author Iain Hollingshead scooped a dubious literary honor Wednesday, winning the Bad Sex in Fiction Award for his novel, "Twenty Something."

Hollingshead beat established writers including Booker Prize nominee David Mitchell, best seller Mark Haddon and literary maverick Thomas Pynchon to the prize, which aims to skewer "the crude, tasteless, often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in the modern novel."

Judges were moved by Hollingshead's evocation of "a commotion of grunts and squeaks, flashing unconnected images and explosions of a million little particles." His description of "bulging trousers" sealed the win, the judges said.

"Because Hollingshead is a first-time writer, we wished to discourage him from further attempts," the judges -- editors of Literary Review magazine -- said in a statement. "Heavyweights like Thomas Pynchon and Will Self are beyond help at this point."

Hollingshead, 25, who received his award from rocker Courtney Love at a London ceremony, said he was delighted to become the prize's youngest winner.

"I hope to win it every year," said Hollingshead, who receives a statuette and a bottle of champagne.

Now in its 14th year, the award was established by the Literary Review to celebrate truly cringe-worthy erotic writing.

"It's mixed metaphors, embarrassing fumbling. It's the redundancy of the scene in an otherwise good novel," said assistant editor Philip Womack.

This year's runner-up was Tim Willcocks' medieval action novel, "The Religion," for a scene in which characters grapple passionately in a forge "across the cold steel face of the anvil."

"In the pit of his stomach a cauldron boiled and some seething and nameless brew rose up through his spine and filled his brain with the Devil's Fire," Willcocks writes.

Willcocks praised the Bad Sex prize as "a much better guide to a good read than those purveyors of powerful sleeping drugs, the Booker, the Pulitzer, the Goncourt et. al."

Other finalists included Mitchell's 1980s coming-of-age story, "Black Swan Green," for a passage in which one character's breasts are compared to "a pair of Danishes" and another's to "two Space Hoppers."

Pynchon's long-awaited, 1,000-page novel, "Against the Day," was nominated for a scene involving a spaniel that ends: "Reader, she bit him."

Haddon, the best-selling author of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time," was shortlisted for his description of rapture in his latest novel, "A Spot of Bother": "Images went off in her head like little fireworks. The smell of coconut. Brass firedogs."

The other finalists were Scottish writer Irvine Welsh's "Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs"; Julia Glass' "The Whole World Over"; Michael Cannon's "Lachlan's War"; "Tourism" by Nirpal Singh Dhaliwal; and Self's "The Book of Dave."

Last year's winner was food critic and novelist Giles Coren for a memorable passage comparing a male character's genitalia to a shower hose. In 2004, the prize went to Tom Wolfe's novel, "I Am Charlotte Simmons," for sex scenes the judges called "ghastly ... inept ... (and) unrealistic."

Nov. 28th, 2006 @ 06:02 pm For all of us who work w/ the general public

Today we mourn the passing of a beloved old friend, Common Sense, who has
been with us for many years.

> No one knows for sure how old he was, since his birth records were long ago lost in bureaucratic red tape. He will be remembered as having cultivated such valuable lessons as: Knowing when to come in out of the rain; Why the early bird gets the worm; Life isn't always fair; and Maybe it was my fault.

> Common Sense lived by simple, sound financial policies (don't spend more than you can earn) and reliable strategies (adults, not children, are in charge).

> His health began to deteriorate rapidly when well-intentioned but overbearing regulations were set in place. Reports of a 6-year-old boy charged with sexual harassment for kissing a classmate; teens suspended from school for using mouthwash after lunch; and a teacher fired for reprimanding an unruly student, only worsened his condition.

> Common Sense lost ground when parents attacked teachers for doing the job that they themselves had failed to do in disciplining their unruly children. It declined even further when schools were required to get parental consent to administer Caladryl, sun lotion or a band-aid to a student; but could not inform parents when a student became pregnant and wanted to have an abortion.

> Common Sense lost the will to live as the Ten Commandments became contraband; churches became businesses; and criminals received better treatment than their victims.

> Common Sense took a beating when you couldn't defend yourself from a burglar in your own home and the burglar could sue you for assault.

> Common Sense finally gave up the will to live, after a woman failed to realize that a steaming cup of coffee was hot. She spilled a little in her lap, and was promptly awarded a huge settlement. Common Sense was preceded in death by his parents, Truth and Trust; his wife, Discretion; his daughter, Responsibility; and his son, Reason.

> He is survived by his 3 stepbrothers; I Know My Rights, Someone Else Is To Blame, and I'm A Victim.

Not many attended his funeral because so few realized he was gone. If you still remember him, pass this on. If not, join the majority and do nothing.

You are The Sun

Happiness, Content, Joy.

The meanings for the Sun are fairly simple and consistent.

Young, healthy, new, fresh. The brain is working, things that were muddled come clear, everything falls into place, and everything seems to go your way.

The Sun is ruled by the Sun, of course. This is the light that comes after the long dark night, Apollo to the Moon's Diana. A positive card, it promises you your day in the sun. Glory, gain, triumph, pleasure, truth, success. As the moon symbolized inspiration from the unconscious, from dreams, this card symbolizes discoveries made fully consciousness and wide awake. You have an understanding and enjoyment of science and math, beautifully constructed music, carefully reasoned philosophy. It is a card of intellect, clarity of mind, and feelings of youthful energy.

Nov. 20th, 2006 @ 05:01 pm For most major hotels: The Front Desk Clerks pledge.

I am a front desk Clerk.

I have advanced degrees in accounting, public relations, marketing, business computer science, civil engineering and Swahili. I can also read minds.

Of course I have the reservation you booked three years ago, even though you don’t have a confirmation number and you think it was made under a name that starts with an ‘x’.

It’s not a problem for me to give you seven connecting, non-smoking poolside suites with two king size beds in each, four roll-away beds and yes I can install a wet bar. I know it’s my fault that we don’t have a helicopter-landing pad.

I am a front desk clerk. I am expected to speak all languages. It is obvious to me that when you booked your reservation for Friday that you really meant Saturday. My company has entrusted me with all financial information and decisions, and yes I can tell you why your bill from 1989 contained a .25 cent phone charge because obviously you never pay for phone calls.

I understand that McGillicoty’s Widget Factory is a vast empire that will make or break our hotel, and yes I am lying to you when I say we have no more rooms available. It is not a problem for me to quickly construct several more guest rooms. This time I will not forget the helicopter-landing pad. It is my fault that everyone wanted to stay here and I should have known you were coming in even though you had no reservation.

I am a front desk clerk, an operator, bellhop, houseman, guest service representative, housekeeper, sales coordinator, information guru, a map, entertainment critic, stock broker, computer technician, ambassador, weatherman, fax expert, human jukebox, verbal punching bag and I know that 112 is not answering their phone.

I always know where to find the best vegetarian-kosher-Mongolian-barbeque restaurants. I know exactly what to see and do in the city with fifteen minutes without spending any money. I take personal blame for airline food, traffic jams, rental car flat tires and the national economy. I realize you meant to book your reservation here because people often confuse us with the Galaxy Motel of Antarctica. Of course I can ‘fit you in’ and yes you may have the special one-dollar rate because you are affiliated with the Hoboken Accounting and Bagel Club.

I am expected to smile, empathize, console, cajole, up sell, down sell [and when to do which], perform, sing, dance, fix the printer, and know exactly where Possum Trot Lane in a city across the state is all the while helping the guest on the phone confirm his reservation from three years ago that may or may not start with an ‘x’ and simultaneously ensuring that the space time continuum doesn’t implode because someone can’t sleep without a feather pillow fluffed to its utmost potential in comfort.

I am, after all, the front desk clerk.

Nov. 14th, 2006 @ 03:05 pm Now Romanians say 'Borat' misled them

By WILLIAM J. KOLE
Associated Press Writer

GLOD, Romania (AP) -- The name of this remote Romanian village means "mud," and that's exactly what angry locals are throwing at comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.

Cohen used Glod's Gypsies as stand-ins for Kazakhs in his runaway hit movie, "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan." Now offended villagers are threatening to sue the film's producers for paying them a pittance to put farm animals in their homes and perform other crude antics.

Residents and local officials in the hardscrabble hamlet 85 miles northwest of Bucharest said Tuesday they were horrified and humiliated to learn their abject poverty and simple ways were ridiculed for a movie now raking in millions at box offices worldwide.

"We thought they came here to help us - not mock us," said Dana Luca, 40, sweeping a manure-stained street lined with shabby homes of crumbling brick and corrugated iron sheeting.

"We haven't got anything here. We haven't got running water. We can't even bathe," she said. "We are poor people, but we are still people."

Nicolae Staicu, leader of the 1,670 Gypsies, or Roma, who eke out a living in one of the most impoverished corners of Romania, said he and other officials would meet with a public ombudsman on Wednesday to map out a legal strategy against Cohen and "Borat" distributor 20th Century Fox.

Staicu accused the producers of paying locals just $3.30-$5.50, misleading the village into thinking the movie would be a documentary, refusing to sign proper filming contracts and enticing easily exploited peasants into performing crass acts.

Only five villagers have jobs at a nearby sanatorium and a stone quarry, Staicu said. The rest weave baskets, grow apples, pears and plums, gather mushrooms in the dense Carpathian Mountain forests rising above the town, or raise a few scrawny chickens.

With no gas heating or indoor plumbing, most keep warm with wood stoves and drink from wells. Horse-drawn carts far outnumber automobiles on unpaved, badly potholed roads, and mangy stray dogs growl and snap at strangers. Acrid fires smolder in trash piles on the outskirts of the village, and children - their clothing worn and torn - play in yards littered with stumps, scrap metal and other bric-a-brac.

"These people are poor and they were tricked by people more intelligent than us," he said. "They took one of our 75-year-old ladies, put huge silicone breasts on her and said she was 47. Another man they filmed to look like the poorest person in the world, and one of our men who is missing an arm had a plastic sex toy taped to his stump."

"We are suing because they were not truthful," added Staicu, who said he saw parts of "Borat" and was disgusted.

"They did not film reality," he said. "We've really had enough of this."

Neither Cohen's agent in London nor 20th Century Fox's offices in Los Angeles immediately returned phone messages Tuesday from The Associated Press.

The mood in Glod, meanwhile, was tense and volatile, with crowds of angry, shouting villagers repeatedly gathering around reporters.

One man was seen slapping his sister, who had appeared in the film, and slamming the gate to his ramshackle home shut to keep her from being interviewed. At another point, a resident threatened news photographers with a stick, and another pelted their car with rocks.

People in the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan, where the mustachioed Cohen's character hails from as a TV journalist on an adventure across America, also have decried how they are depicted in the film, whose opening scenes were shot in Glod.

Two members of a fraternity at a South Carolina university who appear making drunken, insulting comments about women and minorities also are suing 20th Century Fox and three production companies, claiming the crew liquored them up in a bar before filming and told them the movie would not be shown in the United States.

Not everyone in Glod is upset. Sorina Luca, 25, excitedly described how she was given $3.30 to bring a pig into her home and let the producers put a toy rifle into the hands of her 5-year-old daughter for one scene.

"I really liked it," she said. "We are poor and miserable. Nothing ever happens here."

But a 23-year-old woman who gave her name only as Irina said she felt bewildered and dismayed that Glod's poverty was reduced to a parody.

The smash success of "Borat," she said, just rubbed salt in Glod's collective wounds.

The film remained the No. 1 weekend draw at U.S. movie theaters for a second week, grossing $28.3 million, according to the latest figures released Monday.

"They made us put a cow in our living room, and they made it defecate and urinate in the house. Everyone's angry because they didn't pay them the way they should have," she said.

"They're making a lot of money - but they've made us a laughing stock."

Nov. 9th, 2006 @ 01:12 pm ....and another post with um.....Toast?

Past few days we still haven't heard anything about our jobs/building (by we I mean the people I work with in my office) maybe I should make a call to my fellow dept co-workers in Pittsburgh and see if they're heard anything yet. Bosses rolled out a whole bunch more work and a new form they'd like us to use when monitoring, I'm in the process of 'modifying' it to better suite my office. Yea, boss'll have a fit but the company doesn't want to put money into a building we're not going to have in 6 months. Now before I go any further let get this here shotgun out again and load it with these rotwieler shells I found sometime ago. thinks that's what they were call anyway. It's like this shotgun shell but instead of a packed load of pellets the actual fired round looks more like a really big thick Drill bit that could bore through something fierce. Ok, life update. Things are umm... better. Me and Christine talked and things seem to be settled, for the moment. Hate hiding in illusions but hey, what the fuck am I to do? Had a kind of a rough day yesterday and went to this place called Cafe Tsunami, people had been raving about it and Tara works there now so I figured I'd check it out at least. Started out with a headache the grew like beast from all the heavy tech they were playing when I walked in. The server I had was cute and pretty good, let me just relax. Got sushi, spicy Mexican I think , and have to admit they had some good size portions. Coffee was crap but the service made up for it. Don't think they serve coffee much. Got there kind of early but Chase, Helen, Cooke, Andrella showed up later. Had some of everyone's drinks just about, something that was anything of a real hit though. Overall it was a goodtime, probably do it more often. Maybe the coffee will be better next time (Yea, that's a hint there.) Also, think I might have stiffed the girl serving me though. Guess I'll make it up next time.

So, please ignore all the happy cheerful stuff that might have been expressed in the last post. The company I work for is owned by CVS. CVS and another very Large company just made a deal this week to merge the two companies. The office I work in, the old Eckard Corporation offices, loses the lease on the land on July 31st 2007. The president of the comapny came down to our office Friday to 'Reassure' us that we will still have jobs. The news that we have a piece of property to build our new offices is incorrect, they're still looking at locations. He can't answer any other questions. This is news that requires more than the recommended daily dose of Tumms. Saturday is back at the Christmas shop, it's a long hot day. It's a very series conversation just before the show, a screaming match overheard, a cold anger re-awakening. Me destroying one of my toys. Frelling great.

Nov. 2nd, 2006 @ 10:13 am SOME GREAT THOUGHTS

What's the difference between the Pope and your boss? The Pope
only expects you to kiss his ring.

My mind works like lightning. One brilliant flash and it is gone.

Never trust a stockbroker who's married to a travel agent.

The only time the world beats a path to your door is if you're in
the bathroom.

It used to be only death and taxes were inevitable. Now, of
course, there's shipping and handling, too.

A Husband Is Someone Who Takes Out The Trash And Gives The
Impression He Just Cleaned The Whole House

If we are what we eat, then I'm easy, fast, and cheap.

My next house will have no kitchen --- just vending machines.

The only thing wrong with a perfect drive to work is that you end
up at work.

Americans are getting stronger. Twenty years ago, it took two
people to carry ten dollars' worth of groceries. Today, a five-year-old
can do it.

Sally told her friend, "I was worried that my mechanic might try
to rip me off, so I was relieved when he told me all I needed was
blinker fluid."

A government worker is like a shotgun with a broken firing pin --
It won't work and you can't fire it.

I'm so depressed... I went to the Dr. today and he refused to
write me a prescription for Viagra. Said it would be like putting a new
flagpole on a condemned building

Nov. 1st, 2006 @ 06:34 pm WTFF? An Actual update!

Alright, Alright. I'm pretty sure no one really cares but I've been requested to do an actual update of my life lately. Nothing Outstanding new to report. Wait, let me get this here shotgun ready, yea much better. Here I'll start with things from the beginning of the year. New Years party was f-ckin BadAss. Blew allot of stuff up, made some new friends. Funny thing is one of them had just met me for the first time a week or two again at rocky but kept confusing me with my brother, she's funny. Silly Allison. Festival went great, got casted as one of the Kings Noblemen and sent everyday basically just hanging out. Got allot of compliments on my Doublet and costume. Didn't think it really came out as well as everyone said but I'll probably use them again next year, with a little more work done to them. Lydia, one of the Village Dancers and Ed's GF's made a comment to me that she hates that I get to go into the Kings Feast tent, sit down, watch the entertainment and get fed while she has to bust her butt for the amusement of the audience. Didn't really know what to say to that, felt bad but what can I do, offer her my seat? Casting for festival commonly places me up or near the Nobles and upper class all the time and they tell us not to break character. Well anyway, during festival and over myspace started to talk with one of the Girls I'd met prev at the New Years party, Christine. We kind of hit it off and started going out a few weeks into festival but that didn't seem to last much more than a few weeks after festival was done. Still working for Pharmacare (yea, at the time of this post we'd just gotten the news of us buying/merging with CareMark) and back in March got a promotion to the position of Quality Assurance Specialist where I spend most of my days listing to the rest of the reps and grading there calls and doing evaluation on them. Been doing Rocky now for over ten years now. Wow, ten years of Rocky. Someone shoot me please. Oh Well, I hit my actual 10 years on stage with them this weekend. (first person to smack my ass get both barrels, remember shotgun here) Had a great Birthday Party at Scotts again. Got toasted, and did Riff the next night. Got back together with Christine in Sept. October was a cluster bang, I ended up doing two preshows(which came out fantastic) and am also now the new Preshow coordinator. Still kind of happy, kind of depressed, kind of sad at times. Tried some stuff and doesn't work. Works going good, actually now that the chaos of October is over I'll be at Roberts again on the weekends till the season is out. The new festival tryouts are the 11th at the site from 10-6 so I'll have to had out there next weekend for a bit and secure my part. Anyway, that's kind of a update on my life for the most part. Frelling tourists. Oh, anything you want to say will probably be screened.

Yea, I stole the pick from someone else. I laugh now
