Confession:

I've noticed that the Moderators seem to have completely disappeared lately.

Has anything happened?

NINJAS got 'em.

They're still cleaning up all the scorpions after Medusa`s beheading.

Sorry, I should've converted to Celcius. :c)

USA will adopt metric by 2100....

^ Goodness.

I suppose they said the same about Beethoven.

Couldn't sleep, so catching up on you lovely people. Just one of those days where it feels like no one cares about you. I'll get over it, I just hate losing sleep over it. I love mah sleep! If only I could force myself to sleep at any given time.

New month, almost spring, feeling like spring cleaning. And I'm about to go walkabout from JUB again. Presumably not permanent - it never is. But I'm not enjoying it as of late. When I sign into JUB, I'm looking to have good conversation, fun interaction, and maybe get the libido a bit of a workout. On a good day, I get all three. But lately I've been striking out every day. My attempts to engage folks in any of the above have been only marginally successful at best. When it becomes more a chore than a pleasure, it makes sense to step away.

And no, I don't know if this was worth posting. Yeah, it's nice to be told you'll be missed, but whether fifty or zero people say so (or whether fifty or zero say "thank God" or call me an attention whore) doesn't change the issue. And if you don't post this sort of thing, threads pop up wondering what happened.

Keeping JUBbing, JUB, and I'll see if it's more in line with my mindset when I get back.

I like Doctor Who, but not so much that I want to spend my entire day listening to these two fucks argue about who their favorite Doctor is, how regeneration changed between the 1970's shows and todays, which are the best/worst movies, are they going to make an American version, which Doctors are coming back for the anniversary special, etc.....

I like DW but much prefer Torchwood. Hot boys, eye candy and gay superheroes. The production quality has also gone up

Was it me? Was it those CE&P people leaking into Hot Topics?

Corrected.

i gotta get this off my chest real quick since this is really pissing me off.

ever since my junior year of high school, i've been looking for employment to work. you know, i've noticed something with these motherfucking employers. i don't know what it is. is it the way i come off or the way i look or whatever BUT i feel like these employers are treating me like an ex-con. what makes me even more upset is that i don't even have a criminal record. NONE. no offenses. never been locked up. none of that. it upsets me that when i was in high school and my early years of college, these employers weren't even trying to give me a chance. they were like "we're not fucking with you. you can apply but we're not going to fuck with you." this was before and after i had a high school diploma. i've been to spots and seen other people who i'm just wondering how the fuck they even got the job to begin with because they're not even doing that shit right. here i am applying, getting denied some decent jobs WITH a college degree to my name 10 years later and these motherfuckers are like "you don't have enough job experience", "you aren't this", "you're too anxious", "we'll call you back", "we don't know if you have what it takes." WHAT THE FUCK, MAN!!!!! for real, you know, then i have to go apply to some wack shit again where i'm barely getting paid enough money to last me for the week. then i called for unemployment and they said that i wasn't qualified because at my last job, i didn't meet the minimum yearly total (see that's how shitty my job was. i was making that little money where i can't even meet 7,000 dollars and if you look at the yearly wage total, i was making less than 10,000 dollars a year. more like 6,000 dollars. the lady said that i could go to social services and apply for welfare. fuck that shit. i can see why some people end up doing illegal things to get by. can't blame them especially when these people don't even want to give you a shot. after awhile, you get tired of trying and knocking on doors because they're like "fuck you. we're not going to help you." it's already hard enough to get a job where i'm competing against 100 other people which have been given the chance to work.

you know, i'm trying to be cool and all that for the moment. maybe it's the zoloft which is keeping me back from saying some shit that i really don't mean BUT yo.... at this point where i'm seeing how my mother is struggling, my brother is struggling, and how we're barely getting by. how i don't have a job and am being offered shitty jobs that i can't even live off of until i get a real job (the same situation that i had at my last job. stick with your job til you get a better opportunity even if they reject you because you're working at a fast food restaurant or some place that they don't take seriously since it's a job that anybody can do.) man, it's enough to make me want to snatch up one of these employers and put a gun to their mouth telling them to stop fucking around with me and to act right. don't make me have to commit a violent felony to show you that i mean business now. i don't want to hurt somebody or do something just to get a point across BUT if it gets to that point just to make some progress, then so be it.

I think those CE&P people should be kept back in their own filthy pig-pen

You're just mad because Eugenics viewpoints aren't very popular there.

 

[maxpowr9]

I was watching The Colbert Report during lunch and Jon Favreau dinged my gaydar. Not to mention it looks like he has a very nasty tan line. It looks like he wore a sleep mask to the tanning salon.

 

[xbuzzerx]

thank you. I knew that, smartass.

And I was clearly just 'venting' about it.

I understood Neo! I feel the same way. I 'get" that when you're a parent, it has to be "all about being a parent." But at the same time, I can't personally relate to it. I feel awkward trying to relate even to the life of people I was very close with in h.s., but are now moms and dads. Their whole worldview is just so different compared to when I knew them.

^ Wow, Kien. For a guy, that was really spot on. I'm impressed. It makes sense that a lot of men-- especially one's who don't have children-- wouldn't understand the intense bond that typically forms between mother and child from the womb and beyond. It's a pretty big deal and it would be odd if someone's identity didn't go through some big changes as a result.

It's a huge transition to make. But eventually, as the kids get older, parents (especially mothers) get to have more "me time" and things start to balance out.

I think that is kind of dismissive of men's capacity for parenting. I don't think it "makes sense." I'm not sure where you're going with that. And "for a guy?" Please.

 

[bankside]

Yes the womb is not the point though. I would think men would relate the intense bond women experience to their own intense bond, and vice versa, and thereby have a good mutual understanding.

Every stage of life brings change. Single people feel left out when their friends begin to marry and make a life together.
It's not until they do the same they can understand it's just how life is. The same goes for becoming parents. It's all consuming. It changes you, your priorities change. Bonding is not exclusive to the mother. While the father cannot experience all that the mother does, since she is carrying the baby in her body, the father is bonding with his child long before birth.

That reminds of one of my favorite episodes of Family Guy: "I am Peter, Hear Me Roar".

PS: That random quote JP which I said, comes from that episode.

I don't watch that show, so I don't know what that means. Who is JP?

After Huntneo's monologue, I now think of him when watching this blooper...
