Flawed Legacy

Borg Dusti

2005-06-28T20:00:00.000-07:00

I have sad news. My "partner in crime" is not longer my "partner in crime." At least not on a daily basis. Borg Dusti has left me. For those of you who didn't know. Dusti and I were coworkers. Her last day was last Friday. I know for a fact she will be happier elsewhere but I also know that I am going to miss her. Borg Dusti, be sure to keep in touch. I am going to do the same.

The B

2005-05-26T21:30:00.000-07:00

Well, I finally showed my wife my blog. I know she is a little strange about online privacy so I'll lovingly call her "The B". I figured since Dusti has a cool name and so does Dusti's playmate I should give my wife one too.

I truly expected "The B" to be totally un interested in the idea of a blog but she seemed delighted when I sent her the link. It makes me happy to know that she wants to know more about the "strange" stuff I do when I am hammering away at the keyboard at my computer. When I got home this afternoon I asked her about the blog. Her response was, "There's not much on there." and "You didn't even post about me?"

I mean what the hell.

First I think she is going to be totally disinterested in the idea and then she is criticizing the lack of posts?? But forward progress none the less.

So there is another post for you. This one a bit more personal than the ones before. So I have killed 3 birds with one post. I posted to satisfy the Borg Dusti and The B. And I have something more personal for brandon.

I have been Assimilated!

Well it seems as though the masses (or just Dusti) have displayed and acted upon my lack of presence on my blog. I feel like i must explain.

I created this blog some months ago at the behest of Dusti. She wanted me to become more familiar with the Blogsphere (or whatever the hell it is called). I can't say that I really even enjoy writing too much. I majored in computer science in college and spent most of my time figuring out the intricacies of the magical computer. So I didn't spend too much time writting crappy papers and I was okay with that. Given that tid bit you might understand why you don't see more lengthy posts on my blog about all the interworking of the world. If you don't understand...I don't like to write too much. Anyway..

It seems as though my lack of blogging has caused and uproar and I am being taken over. We will call her BorgDusti or 13 of 37. Do not follow this false prophet. She is not me! I shall double my efforts in an attempt to force out this Blog Demon.

NOW, draw your weapon!

For some reason, the code I dropped in from the site didn't work. So here is your weapon quiz.

Draw your weapon!

2005-04-29T12:12:00.000-07:00

Bastard Sword
You preferred a weapon with 67% power over speed and 21% range over melee.

You use a Bastard Sword.

Also
known as a "hand and a half" blade, the bastard sword is potent and
adaptable. It can be used with one or both hands, and its heft and
power are fearsome in a skilled opponent. You are a fearsome sight when
you draw your great blade, and your opponents run in terror.

My test tracked 2 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 89% on power
You scored higher than 14% on range

calling all hunters!

Well, there is a new fad sweeping the internet. You may or may not have heard about it. It is called Virtual Hunting! And the Father of this fad is the site:

http://www.live-shot.com/

This really goes well with my previous poast about the NRA. Here on this website you can sit at in your plush office and fire a gun from thousands of miles away using a mouse and an internet connection. Feeling a little tense? Sqeeze off a few during lunch at wild boar. You can even get a DVD of your session. If you don't wanna kill animals you can always shoot paper targets then brag to all your friends about your expert markmanship. Soon they will be releasing a new feature that allows you to shoot people. It will star Jean Claude Van Dam as the host too.

I think we should all sign up!

woke up this morning and I got myself a gun

Okay, this is exactly what make America awesome. I know a bunch of you are bleeding heart liberals, that's okay too, but it makes me proud to be a part of this nation when I read stuff like this:

Excerpt:
"Remember the Alamo! Shoot 'em!" he screamed to applause. "To show you how radical I am, I want carjackers dead. I want rapists dead. I want burglars dead. I want child molesters dead. I want the bad guys dead. No court case. No parole. No early release. I want 'em dead. Get a gun and when they attack you, shoot 'em."

How can you NOT love that!?!

Anyway, here is the article it came from. Apparently Ted Nugent spoke at the most recent NRA conference and I believe they really loved him there. They don't call him the Motor City Madman for nothing i guess.

Trouble Maker

2005-04-04T20:37:00.000-07:00

I want to share a story with all of you. This past weekend I went back to Jackson, MS to my Fraternity Founder's Day. For those of you who don't know exactly what that is: Founder's Day is a celebration of the birthday of the fraternity. It is mostly focused on joining all the alumni of the chapter with the actives for some revisiting of what it is to be a Brother.

Just to give you a little insight about me, I am 6'0" and about 280 lbs. I am most certainly overweight but I am just thick too, broad shoulders, etc. I have a shaved head too. I was really drunk in this story too.

So with that being said, here is my story:

I am sitting in the hallway that connect the atrium to the new hallway when this random guy comes running into the house and heads for the bathroom. My immediate thought is that he need to hurl, I thought..rock on. Then in comes Martin (the black security guard that started a few years back). I immediate think that we are getting shut down until he starts yelling at the guy who I thought was going to hurl. Apparently the "hurl dude" was denying any responsibility in some action that included kicking someone's car outside the chop house. Martin explained to him that he was a fucking liar because he saw him do it. Exit the "hurl dude" and Martin. I went for another beer. I was then immediate approached by a bunch of the guys (including the Iota - risk manager) saying that the guy who just came inside had kicked an AM's car. We proceeded outside to get a better understanding.

When I got outside Martin was talking with Hurl dude and some other guy. After a few minutes the seperate and Martin goes back to his rounds. There is a bunch of chatter about the Hurl dude and how he got off scott free because there was "basically no damage". And I found out...he was a fucking E.

I decided that I wanted a formal appoligy from this douche bag for his mistreatment of the AM's vehicle. Strangely I got a unified sense of agreement from the rest of the actives that were with me...so we went to the E house to claim our man.

I get to the front door with a group of 5-7 actives behind me and walk up the steps and ask the first stupid little fuck where this Hurl dude was and that I demanded an appoligy for kicking the AM's car. They attempted to deny it and then tried talking me out of seeing this guy we all know that was not happening.

In the middle of our argument I see the E's all start backing up and saying shit like "Oh shit..what the fuck is this." "God damnit, who are they?" I turn to my left to see this group of 20-25 people marching toward my location.

I thought that was fucking awesome. I noticed however that although I don't know all the actives some of the Mob appeared to be not Lambda Chis. I looked around and noticed that the Pikes were coming over too!! It was fucking awesome. I immediated talk to the first Pike and begin telling him about by best friend growing up and how I almost went Pike and how I have always loved them, blah blah alliance blah blah E's fucking blow blah blah. You get the picture.

The current president of the chapter comes up to me and pleads with me to take "my mob" back to the house because they don't want to get in too much trouble. I tell him, cool and I drag them back...all but a couple infiltrators. Apparently Ben Allen and Joe Lang had gone undercover and posed as transfers or some shit. Before I knew this, I blew Ben's cover and pulled him out the house leaving Joe as the the lone assassin.

We exit back to the house talking about how awesome that was and how it was really cool that we stood up ofr the AM, etc etc. Not 10 minutes later 4-5 E's come walking down the hill. I though maybe they were going to be dragging the carcass of the "Lone Assassin" but they came as diplomats to the entire situation. I like diplomatic encounters. I'm a diplomat.

They get to the house and start wondering what was wrong, we want to make nice nice, etc. I decide I don't want them there anymore and tell them, "Get the fuck out of here, get off my property." The next couple minutes was devoted to heckles about how they weren't leaving. I grew impatient and Gave my 2nd warning, "I'm gonna give you 5 seconds to get the fuck off my property or I'm gonna punch you in the head." That created a bit of an uproar.

I put up my hand and started counting.

5......

Noone left

4....

I pointed to one guy and said, "I'm gonna hit you first!"

3..
2.

I lunged at the guy and he just fucking starts running the other way. People start freaking out and yelling. The E's decide that they want to get the fuck out of there and they leave. I immediatly move out of the way with my hands up. I tell the chapter president, "I'm cool! I'm cool!" I had no intention of ever hitting some stupid E, I just wanted to see him run like a bitch, and he did.

why do people do this

2005-03-28T23:21:00.000-08:00

Here's the deal,

I have this friend who generally considered good looking by women and has had many escapades with women in his life. He was once my best friend but over the years his idiocincracies have just gotten to me. He just went off the Navy boot camp to follow a life of Naval Intelligence. I for one REALLY thought this was the way to go for him. Even though he has an MBA and 2 bachelor's degrees he really needs the structure and rewards of a military life.

Now for the gripe.

He recently (December) met a woman off of LiveJournal (at an "LJ meet-up") and they started dating. I was happy that he had met someone as I have been the MANY times before. He is always REALLY excited about every girl because in his heart he just wants to settle down. As the month and a half pass before he leaves for boot camp (end of January) everyone gets to know her a little more and more. Come to find out she has 2 children, divorced, 8 years older than him and works at a motorcycle repair shop. She lives in Ohio or some over middle America state.

[Gripe about Her: While we were at his "going away party" he decided to call her ex husband to harrass him, for no reason, just to do it. WHO THE FUCK DOES THAT?!]

WHile he is boot camp I spend some time with mutual friends of ours and find out that My friend in boot camp and the white trash chick from middle america have been talking about getting engaged. TWOOOOOO FUCKING MONTHS INTO THE RELATIONSHIP!

This is an intelligent person mind you.

Bah, I can't even think anymore about this. It appears I am the only person who can talk to him and not give a shit about what he thinks about me after. So tomorrow I am going to have to call him and tell him what a fucking idiot he is and how he is going to throw his entire life away on a piece of trash...

Can you tell I am frustrated?

gmail frustrations

2005-03-27T19:17:00.000-08:00

I can't tell you how irritated I am with Gmail right now. I recently discovered that Gmail blocks all .zip, .rar, and other archive files regardless of the content. I hate that. If I wanted to block those, give me a setting that allows me to turn it off? There is a glimmer of hope though, it is possible that before it comes out of BETA they may change that option. *crosses fingers* Not holding my breathe though.

What?

2005-03-25T10:13:00.000-08:00

This is most definately my first time ever blogging so be patient with my ramblings. I'll be sure to fill everyone in on who I am in due time.
