Hmm….Saturday, say you?
Well, shit.
I was planning on being drunk elsewhere, but I can do Shari’s first. Of course, by the time we’ll be done, I’ll just go home and crawl into bed...Friday night/Saturday morning will have be enough of that for one weekend.
And as far as bowling-well, I suck, and they don’t have shoes big enough (at least I doubt they do), but if it’s happening late enough in the day (that is, a while after dark), count me in...

Somebody clue me in as to the approximate times.

Später.

so I took a test. . .

NOooOOooOoo!

...
it was a stupid test anyway.

I'm tired and pissed off, so - turns on gruntspeak

Newspaper - job - they not want you
Drive - gas low - money... wait money no have.
Walk in - they no hire - nobody hire - walk outside, whisper "fuck you too then", drive next place
Home, bored - sit on ass - call back places in two days.

And that's how it goes. Fucking awesome.
Now - as is my unsaid job, I doubt just about everything which comes from James' mouth.
Is there 'feminine spice' on this here board, or is it just Collins on another name, hell - maybe its jeff.
Have I not posted for a few days ? ( maybe it was weeks ? ) No, I havent, which brings me to a small point.

I hate vague shit - for instance "gaming place" is vague. What -the fuck- is "gaming place" is that the arcade in a movie theater, the multi colored plastic ball pit at some Chuck E Cheese place ? ( I don't give a fuck how you spell the name of the place. )
Vague, it pisses everyone off.
someone scans a crowd of about a hundred people and says " Hey you, call 911 "
Not so vague, people kinda like that
same little someone with the crowd " Hey you! Fatman with hair on yer body like a damn sweater! Call 911 "


Nods his head once in affirmation Yup. I'm bored. I wanna go do something - whos got ideas on 'get togethers' ?
Zacko can ... oh wait - ha, no he can't come too.

<< Behold the power of Second Post!! >>

and I did stop by the gaming place.
and I did speak with this " dee " person.
and things did go well.
and my father continues to say : " YOU SHOULD HAVE THEM PAY YOU! "
and I say " I dont really care if I get money, I just wanna do it "
and yeup.

tomorrow I stop by the gaming place.
to talk some talk.
and see if I can get my claws into the place.
and do some stuff.
and make the " half-assed-ness " into something JAMES-O

mwa hahah

I will conquer.
and all shall fall.

Wow-Little Collins, that was more disjointed than I would have thought possible, even from you. Have you been smoking your breakfast? Please, either take less of what you’re on, or share more with others.

Good movie-“Caveman’s Valentine” Just see it.

Winter Olympics-“The Qualitative Olympics”
Explain to me how figure skating makes more sense than the Biathalon. Or how about “Ice Dancing?” HOW THE FUCK DOES “ICE DANCING” DESERVE TO BE AN OLYMPIC EVENT?!?!?!?!?!?! Seriously. The biathalon tests actual skill and endurance. Ski, shoot, ski, shoot. It’s not easy, and takes a great deal of (useful) athletic skill to pull off. Ice skating that doesn’t involve conflict-fairly useless. Okay lets look at it this way: put three hockey players and 30 figure skaters in a room; tell me which three dudes walk out. Bingo. Fuck the winter Olympics. Only thing worse than an actual jock is a pansy on skates trying to be a jock.

Know what, fuck the summer Olympics too. I’ll stick to racing, where steroid use is not advantageous. A true team sport. If one guy on the team fucks up, nobody gets paid. There are no guaranteed paychecks in auto racing (except in the higher-up forms, I.E. Formula One, where the drivers get paid per year). There is no “rebuilding year” for racing. Either you won or you didn’t. If you didn’t, you probably won’t get sponsorship next year. AND FUCK NASCAR.

So “Pulp Fiction” is coming on now.

Später.

Funny thing.

A bit ago I was at work and I was thinking " hot damn, Ive got this weekend off. But the more I thought about all the great time I would have - the more I got to thinking " what am I going to do with all that time? " - and I kept thinking, trying to think " so what am I going to do? " - and the more I thought the less I came up with. I thought more - and by now you should realise that I've been doing a lot of thinking and my lunch break was almost over - and then I found what I was going to do. Absolutely nothing. Im going to sit around on my ass and wait to start working again. Great. Because Ive come to the conclusion that once you start working you get into a mentality which consists of " life is working " and when you're not working - you dont feel alive. It is weird. So here I am. And I feel like stacking boxes, and Im not. And Im just sitting here. Waiting to go back to work. Sure - time off is nice. But really ...

I think work sucks out a part of your soul which makes you want to not-work. Oi.

MagDaDun.... dun know how to use AOL.... if you would like to point and laugh at her, or have a nice conversation with someone you dont know, and some casees fook with her in MANY diff ways.... please go ahead .... she has ben marked :) ( is not responcable for any allagations.... ) she contacted me..... thinking i was someone elce.... therefore... free game :) HAVE FUN BOYS

Ugh.
Long week, getting shit ready so all you ungrateful little fucks can go back to classes....(any non-Bethel students can ignor the previous statement)

In other news, the Olympics are a joke.

...

Wait, that's not news. At least the winter Olympics, with the exception of the Biathalon-that's a real sport. Ski, shoot, ski-not easy. Hell, it was even in a James Bond movie. Okay, so it was one with Timothy Dalton as Bond, but it was a Bond movie nonetheless.

Of course, I've taken part in the Redneck Biathalon. Instead of skis, you have pickup trucks. Taking the place of highly accurate target rifles are 12 gauge shotguns. Oh yeah. Being that plenty of beer is typically consumed prior to and during the event, instead of carefully placed targets, you shoot at everything that moves. Occasionally, and due to the aforementioned alcohol, targets may include fellow participants and/or their vehicles. Thankfully, the level of inebreation reached usually keeps serious injury from occuring.

Onward.....

Religion:
I agree with what James said fully. That is, the actions of your typical "religious" person go against everything their religion stands for. The way they press their beliefs upon others is also bothersome. Take into account the "Reverend" Jerry Fallwell. He is one of the biggest walking bags of horseshit ever. Then we get into the likes of Pat Buchanon(sp?). Fuck. Don't get me started.

Anyway....I think that's about it....Is anyone going to be at Shari's tonight? I might make an appearance if so.

Später.

Hi Boys!

I stacked over 100 000 boxes within three days

thats right - the foreman even noticed. It was great. But moving on to things of more importance.

First - let me state that I did not know that lent was in rememberance of " Jesus running off to the desert " - and you shot me down pretty good with the semantic of it being " a reminder " instead of " a parralell " - so to a further extent, my beef was deflated hardkore, yes - with a " K ". Not only that - but as bradbury pegged - yes I do have a bit of something against religion. Against religion itself? No ... against those who say one thing and have their foot half-way into something religious and then half-ass it the other way, and then all the time ride the " holier than thou " train of goodness? Oh yes.

With that done.

DS has come up with another debate - which I shall add my measly two cents worth about.

SLAVE LABOUR in boswania.
If you know me, you know my views about boswania.
I dont care about boswania.
I will never visit boswania.
I do not know anyone in boswania.
Otherwise, they wouldnt be in boswania.
and boswania would not be boswania.
the denzins of boswania? I do not care for them.
You mentioned Gwam. Although I do acknowlege where Jeff came over on a boat - anything more is a reference to boswania.
therefore of no interest, or care, to me.
so. sucks to live in boswania eh?
what else is new.
-ta da-

wasnt that compelling eh?

and last but definately not least -
I've re-invited Mike ( rigney ) again - it seems he wanted me to delete him and then re-invite him with another email - and either he hasnt checked it or is too lazy to get his ass around to doing what he needs to do ( DAMN THAT SEX MACHINE! ) - I also re-invited Mr. Parker ( James ) - and hopefully he'll be able to help us with some incite on working at a glass factory. A nice move away from boxes. And I also have invited two women - one a very esoteric odd one, and the other a very easy-going normal one. Hopefully they'll add some woman-estrogenic-spice to the board.

-end.

If you need something to be upset about, be upset about this. It is a company called Shin Won in Guatemala that makes clothes for the Gap.

The minimum wage for the garment sector in Guatemala is approximately a daily rate of Q$28.00 (about US$3.60). Excluding overtime and bonuses, workers receive about Q$425 every 15 days (about US$54.00). If bonuses, production incentive pay, and overtime pay are included, workers are supposed to receive about twice the amount quoted above, or roughly Q$1,800 a month (US$226.00). This is well below the established poverty line for Guatemala. The U.S. Department of Labor, Office of International Economic Affairs, stated in a 1999 report that the poverty line in Guatemala was about Q$2,109.00 a month (US$307.00).

I am adding a addendum per the comments. The point I was trying to make here was the exploitation of labor via capitalism. The Gap corporation can afford to pay their workers a living wage. They opt not to so as to provided lower costs to consumers and fill their own pockets. Go to behindthelabel.com and see the shacks where these people live on the wages they earn then tell me that what is happening is reasonable.

not mud, what is your problem with those of us observing Lent? You have no faith in this religion and practice, nor do many of us who are participating in this Lent activity, so what is all the rage about? It is not as if we are making a mockery of something important to you.

I perused the internet and found some items that may be of interest to you regarding Lent. They are all from Catholic websites.

Lent is a season of soul-searching and repentance. It is a season for reflection and taking stock. Lent originated in the very earliest days of the Church as a preparatory time for Easter, when the faithful rededicated themselves and when converts were instructed in the faith and prepared for baptism. By observing the forty days of Lent, the individual Christian imitates Jesus’ withdrawal into the wilderness for forty days.
by Ken Collins, KenCollins.com
[Imitating Jesus' withdrawal into the wilderness, not imitating the anguish of being nailed to a cross.]


In Lent, it's traditional to give up something(s) that we do a lot of and that we find pleasure in. This 'giving up' is done as a discipline, as a reminder of Christ's sufferings and what our true pleasures are as followers of Christ, and as an act of sorrow over our sin. Sometimes we don't notice how certain things we do have gained power over us and dictate our actions. In Lent, we discover these things and give them up so that God can be in charge.
[Not only do I swear a lot, but I do quite enjoy it. Same goes for sweets. It is a reminder of suffering, not a parallel of the suffering.]


Q: What are appropriate activities for ordinary days during Lent?

A: Giving up something we enjoy for Lent, doing of physical or spiritual acts of mercy for others, prayer, fasting, abstinence, going to confession, and other acts expressing repentance in general.
[I gave up two things that I enjoy.]

No, I am not jumping on the Christian bandwagon, nor do I aspire to be a good Catholic. I celebrate Christmas and I am not a Christian. I celebrate my husband's birthday and it is not my birthday. I have participated in Rosh Hashanah and I am not a Jew. Sometimes we do things because they make us a more well-rounded person or a better person.

PS If you consumed only bread and water you would get scurvy. But I bet you would like that because it would cause the suffering you so seem to wants us to endure.

To suffer like Jesus suffered.

I have come to the conclusion that Lent is nothing more than half-assed, watered-down, religious, dogmatic bullshit. I will explain this in a couple of examples, and specifically show how they do not, in any shape manner or form, show any " suffering " and more-less, " suffering like Jesus suffered."

The first being " not to curse " - cursing consists of " Fuck, Shit, God-damn, Mother-fucker, Asshole, Darn, Heck, Damn, Hell, Jesus Christ... " and the list an go on and on. Life is rather easy not to curse, in fact there are people who live without lent and not cursing. To make this half-assed suffering more like Jesus, I propose that it be changed to a vow of silence. To not speak to anyone for the duration of lent would show more suffering, although not be anywhere near Jesus', than " not cursing "

The second being " not eating ( insert whatever ) " - this seems to be a popular " suffering " - although again, half-assed. I believe that I wont eat pizza anymore. Whoop-de-shit. You've given up nothing. I believe I will give up eating french-fries. LA DA DE. Jesus had to carry a heavy cross down a road, and then was proceeded to be nailed to it. To suffer much the same way, you are avoiding one sort of food. My proposition? To eat nothing but bread and drink nothing but water - there you go. How about bread and water? And no, not water, with bread and peanut butter and jelly. Just bread. Just water. Thats it. Again - that would be suffering, but nowhere near as jesus suffered.

Thirdly - " Im not going to wear jeans " - this is so ... I wont even touch it. Along the same lines " Im not going to wear anything " is sort of inappropriate for our times. so I couldnt come up with anything along the lines of clothing. This is how bad this is, I cannot even come up with a better version of it - because there is no bloody way ( can you come up with a better, like minded mode of ' suffering' ? )

Fourthly - " Im not going to have sex " - close, but no cigar. Unless your married, you shouldnt be having sex anyway ( this is if you are following some form of other religious idealism ) - but in the event you've just decided to PICK UP LENT FOR SOMETHING TO MAKE YOURSELF FEEL BETTER - then abstaining from sex is a grand idea. Although still, nowhere near the suffering of jesus, and half-assed. You'll go home and masturbate - " Hey I said sex, not masturbation " - or you'll go home and look at pornography - " Hey I said sex, not watching sex " - or you'll go home and you'll get a blowjob - " Hey I said sex, not sodomy. " - and so it goes and so it goes. This proposition is easy - Celibacy. All forms of sexuality what-so-ever are null and void for you. whee.

But as you see - I have stated that none of these are close to, or match, the ' suffering of jesus ' - because there isnt a god-damned single one of you who can match that. Our times are different, and you've got plenty of laws protecting you from any sort of suffering. You're all sheltered by the government and dont even fear God anymore. You come up with half-assed shitty concepts for things that once meant something. The point is not to " suffer like Jesus " but to attempt to suffer like Jesus. To make some sort of effort to inflict suffering onto yourself, to show that you too can bear suffering for the greater good. The majority of those I've interviewed have already " failed " whatever they gave up for lent. It makes me wish that half way through his big spiel Jesus said " you know what, i cant take this - so Im just going to give up " - that would have been a better Jesus for all of you to suffer like. Suffer like the half-assed Jesus. Suffer like the Jesus who quit.

So what do you think?
( also, this would have been a much beter post, but it got deleted twice, so I just got pissed off and did the jist of it ) augh.

so I got home and fell asleep.
feh.
