Hello all.

 

My Dad requested that I give him $30 a week today.  I told him that he doesn't spend the $25 he gets now, so why does he need $5 more now.  He claims that he spend all of the $25 I gave him last Friday, but he hasn't even left the house since last Friday except to go to church.  So where did he spend it?  He is lying to me.  I told him that he will have to make due with the $25 a week I give him.  And at this point, if he doesn't like it, he can go somewhere else to live, because he is stealing away my precious life.

 

I am considering making the books I was writing into Flash movies.  Maybe do 5 minute segments that are easily downloaded.  I am getting nowhere with writing a script about my life or ordinary things, so Sci-Fi is the next choice.  But it'll be cool.

 

I watched the Presidental debates tonight.  It was very interesting.  Although I think Kerry did better than Bush, it didn't inspire me to vote for any of them.  My vote is too valueable to be wasted on either of them.  Until there is a better choice, I won't vote.  And I can complain about the future president whoever he is, because I chose not to vote.  After all you blame the people who caused it to happen, not the people who refused to cause it.

 

Well, that is it for now.  Its the end of the month, so see you next month.

Hello everyone.  Not much happening lately.

 

I got an answer to my e-mail to Odd Todd.  I wrote him and told him I was sorry that his deal with Comedy Central didn't work out.  He wrote me and thanked me for the e-mail.  He told me to keep working on my Flash movie.  So that was pretty cool.

 

I rented Paycheck the other night.  It was a pretty cool movie.  I highly recommend it.

 

Well, that is all for now.

It is getting so hard to even think in "funny" terms anymore.  I am on the verge of giving up on the cartoon.  The comic was so much easier.  Just 4 panels and I was done.  I could do one a day.  But writing a whole cartoon.  I wouldn't be able to do a half hour show by myself.  I lead a very uninteresting life.  Not a lot happens to me sitting here watching TV and my Dad.  And none of it is funny.  So what do I do?

 

I have been considering going back to my VB training book and doing that.  It will be programming.  I mean "REAL" programming.  But if I don't do something, it will be like giving up on my life.  In the mean time, I think I will redo the comic and see if I can "kick it up a notch".

 

Later.

 

It has been a pretty uneventful day today.  I took my Dad out to Burger King tonight because I didn't feel like cooking hamburgers.

 

While I was out, I thought about my situation here.  It is really tough for me now, as well as for all unskilled people in America.  There are jobs out there, but they are either too far away to be ecomonical, pay too little to allow you to support yourself, or you do something that is beneath your skills.  There are hundreds of places that say, "Get certified for Computers and get a high paying job."  But everyone is getting certified, and the job market is flooded.  So a normal $75,000/year job is being bidded on by people who are willing to take $40,000/year for it.  So there are a shortage of the jobs I want.  But even if there weren't a shortage, I still don't have the qualifications to get any of those jobs.  I am not certified in anything.  I have no money to become certified in anything.  And there are no jobs in my area that would use any certifications.  So what do I do?

 

So tonight, I am going to send out my resume to any and all jobs on all of the job search engines, and see if I get a bite.  If I do, great.  If I don't, at least I tried.

 

Later.

 

Finished fixing the shower today.  It has been apart for 3 days, and the water in the bathroom was off the whole time.  But it is a relief to have it all done and working better than ever.

 

I have been thinking about Odd Todd and his cartoon situation with Comedy Central.  His style of story telling is different than what is normally seen on TV.  So, to get my cartoon on TV or make it TV worthy, I need to take notes on what is on TV now, and adopt the style.

 

My Dad has been behaving himself so far.  So nothing to report there.

 

So that is about it for now.  Oh, by the way, tomorrow, the Star Wars Saga on DVD comes out.  I hope to snag a copy.

 

Later.

 

 

Well, I am kind of bummed today.  I just found out that Odd Todd's show deal with Comedy Central got canceled.  That sucks.  I was hoping that would go through so it would pave the way for me to do something like that.  Now, I find myself wondering why I even bother doing anything.

 

Another thing... I was inquiring about how much a ice cream truck or Tricycle would be to buy.  There is only one guy in this town and he is cleaning up with all of the kids in the summer time.  So I found out that it is $6,000 plus shipping for an Ice Cream Tricycle, and something like $100,000 for an Ice Cream Truck.  Hell, if I had that kind of money, I would do something else.  And then after paying for it, I would still have to pay for stock, and all of the legal stuff that goes with owning a food business.  So I guess I can't do that either.

 

So that leaves me asking myself, What the hell can I do for money in this town?  And honestly, I don't have an answer.

 

Later.

 

Well, today started out okay.  Nothing but the usual.  Then the wife came home and all hell broke lose.

 

My wife has a way of taking on all of the responsibilities of her other family members.  She does stuff for her sister, and that sets off our plans.  It is really frustrating when you make plans and then her sister calls and, without discussing it with me, she changes the plans and we have to do something else.  But that is life in that family, I guess.

 

My Dad really chapped my ass today.  We were sitting in K-mart's parking lot waiting for my wife to come out and he tells me that I am lazy because I haven't had a job in over a year.  That got me mad.  I told him that there are no jobs here because there is no industry in this town.  He knows this because he is the one who told me.  I also told him that I would gladly get a job if it meant that he had to get out of my house.  I guess he has proved one and for all that he is an Asshole.  The nerve of him.  I feed him, give him a place to stay, take care of his bills, and I am the lazy one?  He just can't be pleased.

 

I met a new friend on the "There" site yesterday.  She is a really nice person, and I look forward to hearing from her for some conversation.  After all, when all you get is griped at by your Dad and wife all day, it is nice to talk to a friend and get away from it all.  I think I might continue that "There" membership.  It seems a lot friendlier than all of the other chat rooms on the net.  It is fun.

 

Well, that is all for now. 

 

Later.

 

 

Not a lot going on right now.

 

I've been trying to think of a way to make some money so I can support myself better.  After all, I can't find a job and I can't start a business.  So what else is there?  It is very difficult to make money in this area.  It would have to be one of two conditions. 

 

1.  Take something of value that can be produced locally, and sell it nationally.

 

2.  Find some need that hasn't been met, and find a way to meet that need on a national scale.

 

Both of these are very hard to find a solution to.  But, I believe this is the only way to make money now with the economy in the crapper.

 

Well, I think that is it for now.

Hello all. 

 

Yesterday, I finally finished Star Wars: Kinghts of the Old Republic.  It is an awesom game.  I did cheat while playing it, because I just had to see how it came out.  In this game, you play a Jedi hopeful who has the option of going to the light side or the dark side.  I played for the light side.  In the end, he saves the universe and gets the girl.  Who could hope for more.  This game is so good, it would make a great movie.  But lets not tamper with perfection.  In December, the sequel to this game comes out.  I am hoping to get my hands on it and play it too.  Part one takes a lot of time to play.  It took me 35 hours to finish.  It has a clock to tell how long you have been at it.  All in all, it is a good deal for $19.99, if you are a Star Wars fan.  It has almost unlimited replayability since you can be man or woman and be a Scout, Warrior, or Rogue of either sex.  That and you can play towards light or dark side.  I give it 5 stars.

 

My Dad just wasn't happy with us Sunday.  We went to church.  Then we went out to eat at his favorite buffet for brunch.  They had pancakes with sugared strawberries.  He took a little of the breakfast on his plate.  Then on his second trip, he tried to get just the strawberries.  We told him that he can't have them because they have too much sugar in them.  That pissed him off right there.  He sat the bowl down, said he was done, and sat at the entrance until we were done.  There's that "its my way or the highway" attitude he is famous for.  He will just have to learn that his life will be different from now on.  Just because he could do and eat things in the past, doesn't mean that he can now.

 

I found this cool place on the internet. It is a VR world that you chat with other people in.  It is called "There!"  It is free for the first 10 days, then it costs $4.99/month + $19.99 start-up fee, or you can just pay $49.99 a year without anything else to pay.  In the game, you chat with people, rent dune buggies to drive, hoverboards to ride, and you can purchase clothes or other items for your avatar.  You can even host parties and earn more cash to use in the game.  They give you so much of their cash per month or you can buy their cash with real cash.  They do have competition though.  Second Life is another VR envirnment that does about the same thing, except you can have perminent structures in Second Life.  Second Life is $9.95 one time fee to start or you can get the premium plan for $9.95 a month and you can own property. They are both interesting places.  I will have to check them out more.

 

Well, that is it for now.

Well, I have been having a bad day today.  I didn't get to leave the house today until 10:30pm so I was suffering from cabin fever.  But when I did get out, it still made me depressed.  Today, my town had a cruise night.  I chose not to go.  But I saw a lot of the people in town when I went out tonight.  There were a lot of hot women with skimpy clothes on.  And that just made me depressed. 

 

All of those guys that have those cars always have hot women riding in the cars with them.  In my opinion, these guys are people with too much money and too much time on their hands.  And they get the women for doing this.  But I have been thinking aboutmy role in life and the world.

 

I finally figured out that I am a recessive person.  A recessive person is someone who is not physically attractive, not a go getter, not smart enough to make enough money to have good things in life, they consider others feelings and well being before doing something for themselves, and considered a loser.  The others are the dominant persons.  They are born attractive, they don't have to do a thing to stay that way, they go after everything they want, everyone admires them, they use all of their dominant attributes to get the women, jobs, cars and money they want.  And because they are dominant, they beat down the recessives in everything.

 

When I was a child, other children started to make fun of me when I started kindergardin.  And to comfort me, my mother told me that it wasn't what was on the outside that mattered, but what was on the inside.  I believed that, until now.  I mean, think about it.  Have you seen teams of hot model women with balding fat guys unless there was something to gain from it?  I know I haven't.  As a matter of fact, the only people I have seen with recessive people are recessive people.  That leads me to believe that only recessive people are told this saying.  So it is the parents of ugly fat kid that tell them that "it is what is on the inside that counts" to make them feel better.  Because if the dominant kids were told that, there would be no bullies, and no one would be made fun of.  So I conclude that this saying is total bullshit. 

 

What is on the outside counts for 90% of everything.  Have you ever seen an overweight female bartender or for that matter, an overweight ugly stripper that was the most popular stripper.  Not me.  Jobs as well as 90% of life is determined by your outward appearance.  So we recessive people can't get anywhere in life.  And eventually, the recessive people will die out because of "survival of the fittest."

 

So, I am doomed to never have a great job, never have a hot thin wife, never have a lot of money or nice thing.  It is just a fact of life.  I'll just have to accept it.

 

There are very few exceptions to this fact.  But the fact is the norm.

 

Well, that is it for now.  Later.

 

 

Well, here we are again.  Another month has gone by.  No promising leads on a job.  Broke as a joke.  What to do? 

 

Had to go buy another battery for the lawnmower today.  At least they had one.  It wasn't too expensive though.  I'll have to put it in tomorrow.

 

My Dad has been sleeping all day lately.  Although this is not something I want him to do, it is better than having him complain all day and giving me grief.

 

I saw that Austin Powers 1 was on tonight.  And since I have seen all three movies, some inconsistancies have come up that I would like to voice.

 

1)  How did Vanessa call her mother, Mrs. Kessington, if, in the second movie, Vanessa was a fembot the whole time?

 

2)  What happened to Felicity Shagwell after the second movie?  Nothing was said as to what happened to her.  She wasn't in the third movie.

 

3)  In the second movie, how did Austin get the time travel Beetle out of his appartment so he could drive it on the street?

 

4)  In the second movie, why was there a party going on at Austin's "pad" 2 years after he was frozen?

 

5)  Why, in the second movie, did Austin seriously consider that Dr. Evil was telling the truth about being Austin's father if he knew that Nigel Powers was his father, and Dr. Evil went to the same school as Austin as well as stayed in the same room as him?

 

6)  How did Mini Me survive space unprotected for that long at the end of the second movie?

 

7)  If Fat Bastard stole Austin's "mojo" in 1969, he shouldn't have had it in 1997 for the first movie.  How did he get along without it or know it was missing until the second movie?

 

Well, I know that I shouldn't take these movies seriously, but I hate inconsistancies.  So there. :P

 

Well, I guess that is it for now.
