Night without sleep.
I did another all-nighter….
(Memo2Me: The alarm clock is *NOT* a sign to go to bed!)
Besides catching up with work I didn’t get to finish over the weekend I was busy making Poser props.
1) A window that opens and closes, and a latch that locks & unlocks.
2) Door that opens and closes.
Drop me a line if you want me to email them to you.
Why do I do this to myself?????
*pops more vivarins and gets ready for work…*
…going out to Lee and family in their time of loss and sadness.
From the “why-won’t-this-guy-just-shut-the-fuck-up???” files:
Thus sayeth Jerry Fallwell:
NEW YORK (AP) – The Rev. Jerry Falwell says ‘I think Muhammad was a terrorist’ in an interview to be broadcast Sunday on the CBS program “60 Minutes.”
Awwwww COME ONNNNnnnnnn!!!!!!!
Just when the world has finally gotten over his blaming gays, pagans, & feminists for being solely responsible for September 11st… his mouth runneth over again. I refuse to question what planet “Mr. Moral Majority” is living on, or how close his house is in proximity to the fumes of a crack factory.
Why do they give this guy airtime??!!???
“…’Jesus set the example for love, as did Moses,’ Falwell says. ‘I think Muhammad set an opposite example…’ “
Are we talking about the same Jesus and Moses here, Jerry?
Jesus who said:
“Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.”
(Matthew 10:34)
The same Jesus who opened up a can of whoop-ass on the Money Changers in the temple? Flipping their tables over, and going postal on them with a whip?
(Mark 11:15-19)
Moses? Who had to flee Egypt after killing a man, and hiding his body in the sand???
(Exodus 2:11-15)
I’m dangerous on the topic of religion, Jerry. Don’t screw with me.
Bad enough to add hypocrisy on top of stupidity.
There’s a time for peace, and there’s a time to kick someone’s ass (as Jesus and Moses has shown), and to now equate Islam with terrorism is like saying Christianity stands solely for hate groups like the KKK, and bombing abortion clinics.
See? They can say that about us Christians too.
Islam is not the enemy. Like any religion, Islam is about humanity’s quest to reach out to their Creator. There’s peace and there’s violence in it, just like Christianity and Judaism…
The enemies are the religious zealots (*ahem* stares at Fallwell…), who would take scripture and twist it to suit their agendas.
Dammit to hell…
This program will work, I will not be sick, I will not die, and I will have yet another publication fully automated by Friday!!!!
I am so run down….
Running on one one less pint of blood doesn’t help either. Monday was the company blood drive & I forgot all about it until I saw my appointment card… no sleep, no food, give blood. Why not? Only 16 employees gave blood, and the woman coordinating it was begging us to stay committed.
What a difference from last year where I went to three places, and they either ran out of bags, or the line went around the block to a four hour wait…
My arm is all bruised and I look like a heroin addict. But hey…. I’m saving a life somewhere, and that’s always cool.
* Here’s the problem… I don’t bruise. I never bruise. And I sure as hell wouldn’t stay bruised three days later. Something is wrong with me, but I got no time for that right now… only the coroner will know for sure.
* Had a photo shoot on Tuesday, all attempts to download the damn picture has failed… that’s what I get for zipping and rushing up upload them to my private network folder… oh well, I’ll get them tomorrow.
* Searing mouth pain… years of grinding my teeth from stress, has caused me to lose most of my back molars. Every now and then, I find me pulling cracked pieces of teeth out with my bare hands, as the blinding pain makes be temporarily lose my concentration. Other pieces fall in to the crevices and get wedged into exposed nerves and cause abscesses. I usually unwedge them with a straw. (No one wants to drink from my soda after that, wonder why?) Now that I have medical coverage, time to see a dentist, no?
* Batgrl & Beckett are safely evacuated… Hurricane Lili has been downgraded to a Category 3 storm and is expected to hit Louisiana and Texas any minute now… good thoughts her way.
Uhm, where was I? Oh yeah…. CODING!
*back to ignoring all of you….*
The unimaginable happens to me and those close to me every October. This is the month where the “worst case scenario” is almost a guarantee. Here in Anarchtica, it is to the benefit of all elected officials that statistics are in the extremes…
If you are in front of a judge this month, you are guaranteed to be incarcerated for even the tiniest of infractions. Prisons are filled to the brim this month, as judges, district attorneys, and anyone else up for re-election can boast of their “high conviction rates”, “low crime”, and how they’ve “taken criminals off the streets”.
You are nothing more than a sacrificial lamb for their statistics. You’re not quite innocent, but you are *definitely* not the hardened criminal they make you out to be. You are run through the system as “just a number”…
…and your family can’t do a damn thing about it.
Come November, the incumbents will win in a landslide…
Why? Because those living a trouble-free life will buy into this PR bullshit.
The recipients of this heavy-handed justice aren’t allowed near a voting booth for at least 60 days. Their family’s spirits are too broken to even consider voting these jokers out of office, though they should anyway.
Their voices will never be heard and their stories will never be told.
It’s a win-win situation for the truly corrupt.
It’s set up that way.
Not to worry. All is fine in my world…
At least that I know of. There’s nothing pending for any of us.
It was finished in my war last year, where losing meant “losing everything”. Victory over that war came at an unimaginable price to so many people around me.
Like I said, this is the month where the “inconceivable” happens.
There are still the bad guys, and old scores to settle. New plots of retaliation. I sit quietly in the darkness, with my glistening blade, and wait for them to come.
Welcome to my dark and scary world.
I approach October with baited breath, apprehension, and all the bitterness of days gone past.
I hate October.
But bring it on anyway.
Still obsessed, working day and night on this macro programming….
I did decide to, for the first time in (well, I’d rather not say) …to take some time to shower and shave today.
You’re welcome. 🙂

We interrupt our latest obsession with macro codes and visual basic programming to bring the following tip for people who have no business reproducing….
“Milton, Fla., police Detective Mike Daughtery told the Associated Press the dying boy said Hoffman and his mother kept him mostly in one room, beat him every day, only fed him scraps and didn’t let him out of the house to go to school or see friends…”
When you feed your child, love them and care for them…. they live.
When you starve them for five months, beat them repeatedly and ship them on a bus across the country, where strangers take them in, as they’re described as “looking like a holocaust victim”… well, they tend to die.
Any questions?
A little local news to bring some pride to my adopted Police Statehometown.
*sigh* :0(
Hello.
It’s me again.
All is well here in LoKi Land, not to worry.
I am currently in “full-blown-obsesessed-with-a-project” mode. You know the kind where you don’t eat or sleep for days…. until the job is done.
I am re-doing a lot of the programming with our online sites, and the end result can be quite lucrative.
My beneficiaries will be set for life.
*sticks face back into computer screen, and continues to ignore you*
“SHE’S DANCING ON THE BED IN HER UNDERWEAR!!!”
*Runs down the stairs watches until Britney’s fully clothed in the next scene.*
“She’s getting undressed! Hurry!”
*Nearly break at least one leg while falling down the majority of the stairs. Limp back upstairs while she gets re-dressed.*
(Repeat several times)
I have decided with what little a managed to catch of Crossroads, it’s probably one of the greatest movies ever created.
Of course points had to be subtracted due to the fact that the movie seems to be cluttered with that icky “dialogue” and “plot” stuff.
… and because I think I should have a doctor look at my leg.
I’m pretty sure that really hard and sharp thing protruding out of my pant leg is a compound fracture.
