Taking a relatively simple task like getting new glasses and giving it to a procrastinating nihilist can only lead to one thing: trouble.
I made an apointment for today at 1, i get there at 1:10 (a little late, sheesh) the doctor had "just stepped out for a minute" so i sat down to wait.  Eventually another person came in with a 1:30 apointment, and then the 1:40 apointment, still no doctor.. Finally he comes, and runs through the standard battery of preliminal tests to the actual eye exam event.  These went fairly simple except when they did the glaucoma test (i hope i had it) they blast air into your eye.  Now i've had about 10-15 eye exams in my life, and i've never had a problem, but this time, when they blasted my eye, i jerked back and flinched.   They had to do it 3 times to finish it. (that was forshadowing) anyways, i sat down went through the eye exam, the doctor asked why i needed new glasses, i told him cause i always break mine, so i have to get new ones about once a year.  He said, oh, you should try contacts.

Now i've been thinking about getting contacts for awhile, but wasn't sure, it seemed like kind of a bad idea, but i figured, why not, i could give it a try.  He offered me a free trial, and he put them in for me, i kept blinking but he eventually got them in, no sweat.  It was amazing, here i could see perfectly without glasses, and i couldn't even feel them! this was beautiful, i wished i had tried them years before.  So he wrote me up the slip and sent me to the glasses section of the walmart vision care center.  I watched a 3 minute video on how to put contacts in and take them out and clean them, and it looked like i was on my new life of glasses free vision.
But wait..
The glasses guy came in and showed me how to take them out, using his own eye for an example, then i sat down and looked in their mirror to take them out myself.  I lifted my eye lid, put my finger on my eye, and tried to slide it down.  No good.  I tried to pinch my eye like a grape to get it off, still no good.  i did everything the video said, everything the guy said, and i couldn't get the damn thing off.  So i said, fine, blah, i'll try the other eye.  After working on it for about 5 minutes, i got the thing off a little bit, and then DISASTER STRUCK.  The damn thing curled up and slid behind the side of my eye.  Now let me tell you this hurt like a mother fucker.  The whole problem with the entire contact ordeal was that my eyes kept flinching, i guess my mind couldn't override the idea i've instilled in my head from living 20 years of my life on this planet that ITS NOT GOOD FOR THINGS TO GO INTO YOUR EYE.  Blah, so my eye was dark red (glaucoma?) from rubbing and pinching ect.  and now the contact lense was stuck on the side of my eye.  well, 10 more minutes of messing with it finally got the damn thing off.  The guy came in, and said, good you got it, now put it back in.  HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM well i tried like twice and decided contact lenses are not for me.
When society reaches a point that we think its a good idea to stick something directly on our eyeball, i think its time to just scratch the whole project and start over.
Of course, maybe im just using that to justify my inability to do a reasonably simple task that seemingly everyone else is capable of, but lets just write it off that my superior adunai eyes have too much self preservation skills to allow me to stick my finger in my eye.
Bonus mini story: when i was picking out new glasses these two girls were helping me, and i picked out a pair that looked just like the ones i had and tried them on, and the girls were like "nah, they are kinda nerdy" and then they picked out some black plastic ones and said, those are cute on you, you're getting those.  these were professional optemtrist doctors that said this!!! oh well. the end.
here's a bad joke i made up today:
Q: where do robots eat dinner?

TORONTO -- He's the man who wouldn't die.
Jack Kong, 51, was whacked on the head with a hammer, stomped, stabbed seven times, smashed in the face with a frying pan, hogtied, smothered and disemboweled.
Now, he'll testify at the trial of the man accused of trying to kill him, jurors heard yesterday.
Van Duc, 67, also stole Kong's gambling money after their night at Casino Niagara, prosecutor Kerry Hughes alleges. Duc has pleaded not guilty to attempting to murder Kong.
On Dec. 20, 2000, Duc gave Kong a ride to Casino Niagara. Kong went with $5,000 and by 3 a.m. had won another $1,000.
Hughes said the men got a flat tire as they drove back to Toronto. After the tire was changed, Duc hit Kong on the head with a hammer, saying, "I'm sorry, the hammer slipped" and helped him into the van, Hughes said.
Duc helped Kong up to his home and offered to treat his head injury. He told Kong to lie on the bed and then allegedly stabbed him in the back three times.
Kong rose up and was stabbed again in his chest. Hughes alleged Duc then held the knife to Kong's neck and demanded money. Kong complied.
Duc then allegedly picked up a large frying pan and hit Kong so hard he knocked out two front teeth. He then bound Kong's feet and hands and shoved a plastic bag in his mouth, Hughes said. Duc put a pillow over Kong's face and said: "I'm not leaving until you pass out."
As Kong lay still, Hughes said, Duc felt for a pulse, put his finger under Kong's nose to check for breathing, kicked his legs and stomped on his groin to try to get a reaction.
Hughes said Kong can't recall the final cut but alleged Duc "sliced Mr. Kong's belly open ... so that his intestines were protruding out of his body."
Duc then pulled the mattress off the bed and covered Kong's motionless body. When the room was quiet, Kong untied himself and escaped.

Fortunately, someone did it for us:

 more later, i'm tired.

0% - 10% (Britney) Oh dear, oh dear. Far from being a world destroying DeathKiddy, you appear to enjoy kittens, bunnies and Puppies. Not a cloud enters your sky and all is sweetness and light for you. Fucker.  Take the DeathKiddy Test!

you all know why this is funny.
HOWEVER
i think i got a low score because i don't look to trent reznor as a god.  I think a God would be a little less of a whiny bitch.

So why have i changed my mind and decided not to join the army to protect my country? well, first off, who am i protecting? the rich corporations who exploited people all over the world for a profit and pissed the terrorists off in the first place?  what were their targets? the governement that supports this economic raping of the world, and the towers that support it?  I think killing innocents is wrong, but i'm not going to die to save the corporate world.  Sorry.  If they had asked me, i would have never told them it was okay to exploit and use other countries to get cheap SLAVE labor and CHILD labor, so that we can make more money.  It can be argued i benefit from these cheaper products.  Unfortunetly, another way they make money is by paying workers minimum wage with no benefits while overcharging for merchandise.  we're all getting fucked.  it's all fucked.  I'm not gonna die to help perpetuate this system.  We need to realize there is evil on both sides of the fight.  We must work to destroy or correct these problems, so that EVERYONE can live out the "American Dream" not just americans.

I know this is stating the obvious, but sometimes, people don't really pay attention.

Does this make me unamerican?
because i am not ignoring the facts and blindly supporting heartless people who use others for their own gain, while waving the american flag?

People have the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, that is what i'm defending.
if this is unamerican of me, then maybe the "america" i know and love is dead.

Such an offence would normally mean up to one year in jail, but the teenager risks up to six years in prison for allegedly jeopardising the security of the state, Swedish press agency TT said.

The 16-year-old, clad in black from head to toe, threw the tart straight into the King's face while the monarch was visiting a bird reserve near Verberg, in the Halland region of the country's south-western coast.

He will be tried with two accomplices, aged 16 and 17.

The teenager told police that he did not intend his act to be taken as a personal attack against the King, but as an attack against the Swedish authorities.

The assailant was tackled to the ground by the king's bodyguards, with help from Queen Silvia.

The monarch was unhurt, and even seemed amused by the act.

My view:
I don't know whats more funny:
a) the kid throwing a pie in the kings face
b) the queen helping to tackle him
c) the king thinking it was kinda funny
d) the kid maybe going to jail for it anyway

post opinions on the message board!

Even though I've trimmed out the TENS OF THOUSANDS of lines of
unreadable garbage which made up 99+% of the bulk of this attack, if
you reply, please don't quote all three emails (or any of them) in
your response.  My mailbox already contains more than enough trash.
Thank you.

my response:
my e-mail address is rustyminotaur@home.com, the e-mails in question were sent from me to kfl@Radix.Net last night (1 or 2 Am november 17th)

to whom it may concern
This was not an attack, this was not an attempt to destroy an internet mailbox, this was simply sending a song in the wav. sound file format as an attachement.  It was no a en masse e-mail, it was specifically to keith lynch.  I had visited his website and found him a fascinating and interesting person, and my cousin and i wrote and performed a song about him and his various exploits that we learned from his website.  I did not take into an account he used a shell account as opposed to a standard e-mail account, so what may have appeared to be "thousands of lines of gibberish" was actually the attachement (as noted and seen in the e-mails he forwarded you) of the song i made specifically FOR him.  This does not make me a terrorist, it makes me a musician.  Thank you for your time and effort.  I apologize for any inconvenience this blatant act of song writing may have caused, sincerely, i meant no harm.  It saddens me you were unable to hear it keith.

sincerely,
eric drewes

ps: i don't hold any grudge against you for reporting me as a terrorist, i see this merely as a misunderstanding that needed to be cleared up.

look at him..
imagine him younger..
dark hair and mustache..
add a cap on his head..
and suspenders..
do you see it?

From 1963-65, Col.  Larry Carrigan was in the 47FW/DO (F-4Es).
He spent 6 -years in the "Hilton"- the first three of which he
was "missing in action".  His wife lived on faith that
he was still alive.  His group, too, got the cleaned, fed,
clothed routine in preparation for a "peace delegation" visit.

They, however, had advance notice and devised a plan to get word
to the world that they were still alive.  Each man secreted a
tiny piece of paper with his SSN on it in the palm of
his hand.  When paraded before Ms.  Fonda and a cameraman and
formed a line.  She walked that line, shaking each man's hand and
asking little encouraging snippets like: "Aren't
you sorry you bombed babies?" and "Are you grateful for the
humane treatment from your benevolent captors?" Believing this
HAD to be an act, they each palmed her their
sliver of paper.

She took them all without missing a beat.  At the end of the
line, after the camera stopped rolling, to the shocked disbelief
of the POWs, she turned to the officer in charge and
handed him the little pile of papers. Three men died from the
subsequent beatings.  Col.  Carrigan was almost number four; but
he survived, which is the only reason we know
about Ms. Fonda's actions that day.

fucking bitch.

a drastic turn on my view of this war:
the reason the people in all these third world countries hate the US  is because our government support their
oppressive regimes because the US is pretty much controlled by our rich corporations that need the
regimes in power in order to exploit the people of those countries so they can make profit.  While i definetly
don't condone the actions of the terrorist networks, i also am STRONGLY against the exploitation of
people outside of this country.  We say we hate child slave labor, we say we think exploiting people is
wrong, while still buying products from these companies that support it and made in countries that allow it.
I know i do, and i'm sure all of you have products made in china, or any other number of places that validate
the use of slavery and violence, for what?  Cheap products and higher profit margins?  Fuck them.  I think
we all need to take a look at whats going on.  (including me..)  I mean we need to stop being lazy and
doing things just because they are easy without examining first if what we're doing is right.

speaking of which:
