…to completely giving up. I have applied, taken classes, kissed ass, sent in form after fucking form, and it is all apparently not enough. I cannot get into a fucking nursing program to save my life. I am really close to just saying, “fuck it, universe, you win”. I just got off of the phone [...]

Published by May 27th, 2009 in all about me, school, tragic, venting and wtf?!. 6 CommentsSTFU
Published by April 30th, 2009 in civil rights, is it just me?, that is so gay, tragic, venting and wtf?!. 6 CommentsA couple of weeks ago, it was ignorant Prejean, blabbing her opinion on the “gay lifestyle”, and her beliefs about gay marriage. She kept talking after the incident, and went so far as to claim that people choose to be gay. Clearly, she chose to be a heterosexual, and barely escaped a lesbian lifestyle. All [...]
another, this time local, victim of hate
Published by April 21st, 2009 in listen up!, near and dear, that is so gay, tragic and wtf?!. 3 CommentsThis completely breaks my heart: 11 year old boy named Jaheem Herrera, commits suicide to escape bullying and taunting from fellow classmates (h/t to my friend Joey who posted the link earlier this afternoon). I don’t know if anyone even read the piece that I wrote last week about this EXACT thing happening to another [...]

where’d my flickr buddy icon reply function go?!
Published by February 12th, 2009 in flickr, is it just me?, music musings, tragic, venting and wtf?!. 26 CommentsIf you use firefox, and like me, find the flickr buddy icon reply function to be one of the best scripts for greasemonkey, and one that you use daily, you are probably wondering where in the hell it went! Well, thanks to one of my flickr contacts, I was led to a forum that had [...]
troubled times for satellite radio ahead?
Published by February 11th, 2009 in hmm interesting, mixed media, tragic and well?. 6 CommentsI couldn’t help but be intrigued by this blog post that I read this morning, which if you are too lazy to read (it’s short!), suggests that satellite radio will not survive our current recession, and in fact, may be gone before 2009 comes to a close. I find myself wondering if I should fish [...]
a random list: music artists I can’t stand
Published by January 28th, 2009 in "pointless", is it just me?, music musings, tragic and venting. 15 CommentsI’m in a random mood, and unfortunately, I am constantly thinking of/compiling a list of music artists that I can’t stand, so I thought I would make a blog post out of it. It could be the voice, it could be the music, but most likely, it is a combo of the two that send [...]
a plea to XM/Sirius
Published by January 14th, 2009 in is it just me?, listen up!, tragic, venting and wtf?!. 11 CommentsPlease, please, please stop the madness. I cannot take it anymore. EVERY time I flip through the channels, I have the unfortunate ability to always stumble upon your attempt to destroy my love for music. There is NO reason in this world that will ever justify playing that much Nickelback or Matchbox 20. There are [...]

Published by November 28th, 2008 in five song friday, listen up!, mixed media, music musings, music suggestion, tragic and wtf?!. 0 CommentsI hope that everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving; I ended up being stranded in bed with my unpredictable back. All is well though, because I got some well needed rest, and was able to play lots of video games (which was fun). I appreciate all of the well wishes from everyone, and return them right [...]
