For as long as I can remember, the world has chugged away using one basic equation. Albeit a complicated one, but still just a simple equation.
People react to things. Different people obviously react differently to the same stimulii, and based on their reactions, events occur, or dont occur, whichever the case may be. Now, that being said, there are some people that react without thinking first, and this tends to cause problems. Most people refer to this as panic, some people see it as being naieve, others label it ignorance. All of these are very real and very tangible possibilities.
When I was a kid, it worked this way : If for example you thought someone you knew was planning on stealing a car, but this person was a friend, or someone you knew maybe you didnt want to turn them in or do anything about it.. or even accuse them of anything untill you flat out knew what was going on. Maybe it turns out you just misheard, or maybe jumped into a conversation in the wrong context and made assumptions based on what you heard. In the world that I grew up in, you didnt shit in anybodys cereal unless you flat out knew they liked peanuts. That is not the way the world works today.
People assume, cheat, lie, and fuck people out of money based on assumptions and guesses every day. Squidy and I were fucked out of 1800 dollars recently because our fuckwad old landlords are too lazy to repair shit thats broken between tennants. THey charge the old tennants for the damamges, and the conviniently loose the documentation, then charge the new tennants for the same damages when they move out.
My car was impounded and towed on my birthday (the 8th) while I was parking in front of the resturaunt at which I was going to celebrate my birthday. The cop told me my registration expired and that since the extra 6 months that the dmv gave me to get my car smogged had ALSO expired, it was like the extention was never granted, and because that was longer than 6 months, they could impound my car, so they did. The cop then performed an illegal search of my car and stopped responding to my questions. The line that fucker gave me was “I dont belive that it is safe to drive without registration”.
what?
‘Safe’? Is this a fucking relative term now? I thought safe meant you neednt worry about personal bodily injury, or the possibility of hurting someone else. Because my registration is expired my car is going to spin out of control and fly into a crowd of angry schoolchildren and bearded nuns? What the fuck is this bullshit? And the cop now being the local authority on what is ’safe’? For fucks sake. Take the blonde kid that you were doing the ridealong with and have him finish rimming your asshole, and get the fuck away from me and my car.
This whole perception thing is getting way out of hand. People think that just because they think something they can act on it, and feel justified. Since when does some stupid fuck at a company with a few people under him, one gayass cop, the asshole kid behind the counter at the movie theartre.. WHOEVER.. have the luxury of raining doom on your head just because they THINK they can? When did our society turn into a bunch of fucking whiney weasely peices of shit? It seems everyone (with a few exceptions) has some adgenda. I go out to the movies, I go to a resturant, I get a ticket, I talk to a customer.. it doesnt matter. Everyones fucking in on it. Its like a giant version of that terrible movie ‘the game’. These are the reasons I agree with George Carlin. Him and Dennis Leary should rule the world.
This clip right here sums it right up for us in a neat little package. Pay attention to the last sentence.

Now on a lighter note, my birthday. Most of you reading have probably heard, or at least saw me bitching on here about it. On my birthday the fellas at work were kind enough to get me a cake. Only catch was that whoever put the actual order in wasnt someone that really knew me, and they got a mint chocolate chip ice cream cake. Okay, no big deal. The though was cool, and they got me a cookie too! Work wasnt so bad. I got off work and my mom wanted to take me out to dinner. That was also a nice thought. Only trouble was that when I got to the resturaunt that I was to eat at, a cop pulls me over. When that ordeal was through I came home expecting to be host to a rather entertaining party, mixing drinks, blaring music and generally having a good time. What happened in actuality, is when I got home the people that said they would be there to help me celebrate, conviniently found other things to do. They were either unreachable by phone/aim or they showed up, but then went upstairs to play gran turismo 2 with madrox. So there I sat in my room with two other people watchinb beetlejuice on divx. We finished the movie, and I went to bed. Getting my car outta impound cost me 280 bux, plus I still have the fixit ticket, and my car situation still hasnt changed. So really having that little run in with that cop just set me back even more. No worries though, because a few days ago I sold some stock and cashed in on about 1300 bux, and my mom is wholely intent on helping me get outta my peice of shit car, and into a nice shiney new jeep grand cherrokee laredo. I did actually have some FUN though during the time before and after my birthday. I recently purchaced a 300 dollar leupold scope for my rifle, and we had loads of fun when we took that out to ramona.

Before my birthday though, my friend lacey came over to hangout with us one night. It was fun. We fed her friend Shannon some martinis and watched her get all loopy. it rocked. The pictures listed here are kinda scattered about. Theres a few in there of Billy and I shooting at stuff reeeeeeleeee far away. The closeup of me, you can see the brass ejecting and floating about in the air! (it is neat!)
That is all!
