| May. 22nd, 2009 07:02 am Writer's Block: There Can Be Only One
Yes, absolutely. I also believe in polygamy but how does one keep several women happy? It's tough enough keeping one happy.

No. But there is a well-known set designer in Hollywood with the same first and last name as me. He's done lots of major movies. Oh, to have his annual income.

I certainly don't seek attentions. I prefer to work quietly in the backbground. A-type personalities have trouble understanding that.

No because resigning oneself to fate leaves no hope and releives one of any personal responisbility for one's life.

First post, 2 Sep 2004:
My daughter-in-law sent me a link to her online journal, which I read (comments and all). Then I said, to myself, "Self, this could be fun. Let's give it a try." And so, here I am.
Right now I'm watching the Graham Norton Effect on Comedy Central. It's such an outrageous show! After the show, it will be time to pay some bills -- so depressing! But it has to be done.
Why is it that disasters/crises at work always happened just before 5:00? "My computer just crashed and it's critical that I have it up and running in the morning!" Sorry about your luck, dude. When you get a BSOD in the Recovery Console, it's bad, really bad. I'm thinking it's most likely a case of demonic possession.
Sorry if I seem to be rambling but it's my first time.

You mean you can talk about your problems with other people? Without having to pay them for an hour of their time? I'll have to look into this.Leave a comment | |
| Apr. 10th, 2009 07:21 am Writer's Block: Get Real
First of all, what do "reality shows" have to do with reality? They are an artificial reality contrived by the producers to bring out the worst in people and to heighten drama, thereby increasing audience share and advertising revenue.
I don't watch these shows and have no interest in them. You want reality? Film people in the real world with no scripts, no made up rules, no interference. It will most likely be boring and extremely unprofitable. People don't want to see reality, they watch reality shows to escape their own reality for a while.Leave a comment | |
| Apr. 7th, 2009 06:40 am Writer's Block: Seven Days
Tough question as nearly every day is pretty much the same as the day before. Mondays were dreaded becuase it meant reinserting myself into a stressful and frustrating environment. I looked forward to Saturdays becasue I removed myself from that environment and, even if I did go in, it was more relaxed that during the week.Leave a comment | |
| Apr. 5th, 2009 09:19 am Writer's Block: Controversial Interrogation Techniques
Absolutely not. controversial interrogation techniques (aka torture) are barbaric, unnecessary, and ineffective. Using these methods of interrogation generally only result in the confession the interrogator wants to hear. At some point the victim will confess to anything just to put an end to it.
We should be setting the standard for human rights and humane treatment, not giving the rest of the world even more valid raasons to hate us. Who will we use these methods on next? First it's suspected terrorists, next criminals in our own justice system. If torture is allowed under "any" circumstances, what's to stop the government (ie, the police and the military) from using these methods on ordinary citizens whose only crime is holding different beliefs.Leave a comment | |
| Mar. 20th, 2009 07:51 am Writer's Block: Change for the Better over a Decade
For one thing, I'm probably healthier and more health concious. Ten years ago I was flirting with the Dark Side and I've since put that behind me, though not without some battle scars and some collateral damage. Back then, I was still immersed in the culture of secrecy and I've made tremendous progress in being open but there are still a few secrets that I'm not ready to bring out into the light. Some of them may never be known though I'm sure they will someday. It may be after I'm gone but I'm sure they'll be discovered. My life is an open book but some of the pages are either stuck together or missing. I'm still calculating and devious. I'm not always totally honest although sometimes I'm too honest for my own good. Am I a better person than I was a decade ago? Maybe.Leave a comment | |
| Mar. 14th, 2009 08:39 am Writer's Block: What a Way to Make a Living
I guess it would be my short stint testing software for Lexis-Nexis. It was the same thing day after day, the same software, the same bugs. It got boring very quickly. I'm not at liberty to discuss the other job in the running.
The best job I ever had, the one with the most job satisfaction involved shoveling cow manure.Leave a comment | |
| Mar. 13th, 2009 07:58 am Writer's Block: Timely Departures
There are so many times and places I'd like to travel to. To be able to travel back in time to meet and talk to, or at least observe, my ancestors would be a genealogiest's dream come true. Plymouth in 1620-21, Watertown in 1630, Pomfret, VT in the late 18th and early 19th century, Sweden, NY in the 1850s. The Dakota Territory in the 1880s, Geauga County, OH any time between 1830 and 1910. Connecticut and Western Massachusetts between 1790 and 1830. 19th century Prussia and Slovakia. Oh, just countless times and places. I could be the genealogical Dr. Who.Leave a comment | |
| Mar. 13th, 2009 07:52 am Writer's Block: Really, Truly
I absolutely believe in true love. My parents had it. They were together for 60 years through good times and bad, in sickness and in health, until death did they part. But true love remains.
I also believe in love at first sight. It happened to me although it took me about 10 months to realize it. But she knew from the beginning. We'll celebrate our 33rd anniversary in a couple of weeks. And they said it couldn't be done.Leave a comment | |
| Mar. 6th, 2009 05:42 am Writer's Block: Miss Manners
From what I've observed, I'd have to say cell phones. People talk on them everywhere and often very loudly. Do I really want to hear about your personal life? And they think I'm rude for listening in on their conversation, as if I wanted to. But when you're chatting away at 140 decibels, it's pretty damned hard not to. And they'll talk on their cell phone ANYWHERE, often in places where it's inappropriate or potentially dangerous (while driving or pumping gas). When they're on the phone they don't give a damn about anyone else. They're slaves to the phone, if it rings they gotta answer it. It's a Pavlovian response. Most of the time they don't have anything to say, they just have to be saying something.
Guess I'll stop my rant now, my cell phone is ringing. Why am I salivating?Leave a comment | |
| Mar. 4th, 2009 07:25 am Writer's Block: Chatty
I totally suck at texting. It takes me 10 minutes to text a short message so I find it's a lot more trouble than it's worth. I don't care for talking on the phone either. I'm not anti-social (well, maybe a little); I don't talk, text, or chat just to be in contact with another human being. I communicate because I have something to say not just to say something. I've said too much already. caio.Leave a comment | |

I'd be asking Hooze why she does things the things she does the things she does. I believe it's just to piss me off but I'd like to get her side of the story.Leave a comment | |

First, I'd pay off my debts, buy some land, and build my dream house. Then I'd invest most of what's left so that I could live comfortably on the interest and pursue my interests.2 comments - Leave a comment | |
