Something good happened today. I thought something bad happened to someone I know and it turns out it was someone worried about what amounts to writing on latrine walls.
In the something bad department it won't be as easy to fix my computer as I thought it would be. A guy I work with had something bad happen to his computer and I thought it might be a problem with the hard drive in which case I could buy his and swap the drives, turns out that it's his power supply which is the same problem I have. :( I'd order another one, but it will ship after the cut off date for mail here, which means it won't be long until I am home.

I am olive drab "army green"
you are darkolivegreen
#556B2F |
Your dominant hues are green and yellow. There's no doubt about the fact that you think with your head, but you don't want to be seen as boring and want people to know about your adventurous streak now and again.
Your saturation level is medium - You're not the most decisive go-getter, but you can get a job done when it's required of you. You probably don't think the world can change for you and don't want to spend too much effort trying to force it.
Your outlook on life is slightly darker than most people's. You try to see things for what they are and face situations honestly. You'd rather get to the point than look for what's good.

Part one: I'm sick and tired of the United States helping out in countries where they hate us. In '05 when the giant tsunami hit Indonesia wouldn't even allow our carrier to come into their naval space. We shuttled the supplies in via ski boats or some other such nonsense. We should have turned around and said ok, sure.
Every time any "act of god" hits any country the first thing they do is all but demand the help of the US, then go back to hating us.
Play this soundtrack while you read
Do I think we shouldn't help people outside our country? No that's a stupid assumption I'm sure many would have jumped to. If a Tsunami hit England I think we should drop whatever we're doing and make it there before the anyone else even has a chance to think. England is a good country because they are one of the first countries helping out when things hit the fan. There are good countries and we should help them out, but when you have bad countries who are an active threat to our safety, tough luck.
Perhaps it's because I was raised thinking the ultimate in altruism was this guy
I don't think Santa was ever called a bigot for putting genocidal people on the naughty list. I never get why cultural relativism is the go to move when talking about Haitian rape statistics, but I don't get to hide behind cultural relativism when I say that should put them on the naughty list.
Haiti I feel is on the bad list. I'm sick of rebuilding shit for people who are just going to hate us no matter what we do and will probably just hand it over to warlords anyway like they did in Somalia
The thing that really burns me is this is a time where there are Americans going without and we never ever do anything for them of any substance. The AMERICAN GOVERNMENT should not spend a penny outside the borders when one American goes without. I have experience growing up close to the Appalachian mountains and because of canoeing I have seen the way many Americans live even today. We're talking log cabins, tin roof, no shoes, homemade clothing, everything you associate with the third world. Unfortunately due to coal mining you also have the polluted drinking water, the weak teeth and bones due to ignorance of fluoride, short life expectancy and parasitic infections that are a lot more third world than first world. Children die of diseases eradicated years ago in the rest of the country due to lack of inoculations that would only cost a few dollars a piece if there were in fact someone to inoculate them. They live in a state of nature, hunting, fishing and sustenance farming.
Because these people have been so romanticized ( and I must admit this particular example is quite nicebut most of them are not so nice), no one even knows they need our help just as much as any other people lacking shots and clean water. In fact because of their proximity and the fact you don't have to pay security because THEY WON'T TRY TO KILL YOU JUST FOR BEING AMERICAN, far far more good could be done. Here is where I always hear, "It's America they could just move" You expect someone who only has store bought shoes for church to move somewhere and do what? Probably the same thing someone from Haiti would do in Canada, NOT FIT IN AND GET A JOB. Also with what money are they going to make the journey. I think you fail to understand people in these mountain towns don't have any money at all. The little bit of money they get from selling crops and skins go back into the farm. They literally don't have the 90 dollars to get a bus ticket out of there. There choices are join the army (if they indeed have a high school diploma) or stay. I know as I have known quite a few people from these places in the army. If joining the army is a legitimate thing for people to do in the hills of the east, it's legitimate for people in these countries. Amid the disaster how many Haitian soldiers do you think are going without food and water?
If we want to rebuild something how about New Orleans? We didn't want to rebuild that because it was in a flood plane. Fine, Haiti is on an island, in the hurricane path on a fault line.
That brings me to this pea brain teen mommy who knows better than I about the third world because she had to shoplift from a supermarket once before her aunt adopted her.

Basic Info
Name: Megan
Birthdate: 1991-08-06
First of all she hates me because I am a soldier. Her's in Italics I'm going to list the reasons she hates me
1) I get internet here in Iraq
Why am I working 50 hours a week, and paying taxes to the government weekly, just so that they can permit losers men in Iraq (supposedly doing our country a justified service) to waste time on the internet on a regular basis? It seems like 24/7 actually with this one particular guy that I was forced to ban recently from my journal: talking shit to women on the internet, getting to be a total drama queen at the government's expense and/or hard working tax payers' expenses on the interwebs daily and apparently enjoys doing it too; beating his chest that he is a man ooga wooga wooga for doing absolutely nothing in Iraq but becoming a pest and a parasite to the majority of the Iraqi people (who reportedly want the troops to move out).
I should mention she also LOVES to write ugly unreadable unformatted text walls because she is an idiot. I think everyone points this out first and foremost when reading her.
I promise you I am missing a bunch of possible reasons she hates me because I CAN'T read her shit. Tireless run on go nowhere sentences punctuated by teen angst. UGH
2) I called her white
I don't appreciate statements such as "white guilt" for example, simply because I freely chose to donate a few items and money (like countless millions across the world) to a particular group of people due to their horrific circumstances and predicament of the 7.0 earthquake that literally struck & widely destroyed a destitute fourth world country's infrastructure into piles of rubbles and devastation. And being told by a worthless, insensitve excuse for a human being not to donate anything to them because they supposedly hate America.
3) Just because I am a soldier
I do not believe in the war in Iraq, nor do I support the so-called troops in Iraq (which I think is a joke, to be quite honest) as I believe it is an excessive waste of time, taxpayer's hard earned dollars which could go towards more honorable & needed causes in our country, a contributing factor to the recession, and has put the U.S in an extremely unfavourable position in the international arena (before President Barrack Obama of course). Their occupation of a sovereign nation is neither honourable nor legal in the least and I have zero respect for the occupation whatsoever, they should not be seen as any type of "war hero", lol thats also a joke, but an intense burden to hardworking decent American people who actually contribute to their pockets everyday for basically doing nothing (the same "heroes" whom just a few years ago were scandously caught on reel, maiming, raping, and torturing Iraqi civilians/victims, I still remember feeling extremely sick to my stomach looking at those disgusting photographs) and bullying a country simply because they are not as powerful as you. I only feel sorry for the men over there (R.I.P Logan, my cousin) who got stuck in Iraq (he was in the marines unfortunately before the Iraq war) and wanted to get out but instead got INNOCENTLY killed for an occupation that was not even ethical or legal..
4) Because Pat Roberson says Haiti made a pact with the devil. Somehow this was aimed at me in two different places. I guess, I am therefore Pat Robertson. I'm cool with this line of logic if Pat Robertson's bank's tellers are as well, otherwise she can shove it up her ass. It will take me forever to download the youtube rebuttal of the video she linked as my Iraq internet is very slow. I'm just going to assume that even if the points are coherent, rebutting Pat Robertson talking about the devil makes you an idiot and it looks like this woman makes funny faces so LINKED
Her original comment about Haiti
I must gleefully admit that I had a very eventful weekend at my Aunt's church, especially on the Saturday afternoon, where I had spent the whole day rumaging through my closet (at my aunt's house and mine) for clothes or items that were still decent enough to be worn by an actual human being and decent enough to be utilized to send to the Haiti Relief program
...
Did you know that the people in Haiti are compelled to sell mud cakes (like mud pies that we used to make when we were children when we used to play house) for food and survival?
5) Because I am a racist or a bigot or something
I will tell you this now without zero hesitation, I don't have one single iota[ed note LOL] with people disagreeing with me on anything in this journal, in fact, I wholeheartedly encourage it as it leaves room for personal, intellectual, and even professional development and interaction, but I have a complete distaste in my mouth towards prejudices of any kind or any feelings of entitlement and selfishness. This country was already ailing and widely suffering below the poverty-stricken lines according to the UN and the CIA before the earthquake, they were even forced to eat dirt from the ground to survive and feed their children
IF YOU STARTED SKIMMING
HANG IN FOR THE LULZ
That's only one more reason than the reasons she hates her husband and wants a divorce. THEY ARE VERY SERIOUS AND MATURE REASONS AND NOT JUST BITCHES OF A TEENAGER PLAYING HOUSE WITH A REAL HUMAN BABY.
Back to the real reason I am writing this entry: married to an animal as despicable as Chad.
We had a big argument last night on account of the fact that I simply asked him to wear a condom when we make love because I don't want to be faced with a predicament or the problem of having a baby in a financially unstable household. A household where the father is 19 and enrolled in college and only gets to do part time work as a server; and the mother is nothing more than a simple secretary that happens to attend university part time as well. I luckily have just begun getting my two feet together recently, working in a position that can pay for all my needs, my troubles, supporting my family financially, and taking care of other particular priorities. I can also allow the privilege of saving for a house from my monthly salary, so I won't be renting someone's home forever. I really don't want to burden myself with additional responsibility at this time with another child when I'm just now getting my life together again. I was on the pill when my son was conceived by surprise over a year ago, so making an argument about me supposedly going on the pill, while you blankly refuse to protect yourself isn't quite strong an argument to make. Not to mention that both you and myself were conceived while our mothers claimed they were both taking contraceptive pills, so there. Look how that turned out.
1) He doesn't close the cap tighty on the toothpaste bottle/tube, which results in the toothpaste getting incredibly hard due to being left exposed to dry air and forming an annoying crust.
2) He doesn't put his shoes in their rightful places. Sometimes when he comes home from work, he just kicks them off, and they look terribly clumsy in our small living room (which does not need the extra clutter in the least, I can vouch for that) and I hate when my surroundings are untidy.
3) He doesn't do his laundry for weeks sometimes, as if he expects ME to do it? Hell naw.
4) Then he pees in the fucking shower, something he knows I find incredibly ghastly and disgusting, and I ask him repetitively, politely, not to excrete urine in the area where I should take utmost pleasure in cleaning myself after a long, stressful, sweaty day, and he inconsiderately continues to pee in the shower, thoughg he claims to sterilize the tub after hes done. I'm just fed up with his uncivilised & inconsiderate behavior and
I'm very close to kicking him out.
However: Your search - clintiskeen pee in the shower - did not match any documents.
FOR MORE RETARDED sicilian_spice, a chick so dumb even her father left her and her mother wouldn't take care of her check here
This is exactly the same as living in a county in the US that doesn't have drinkable groundwater

About a week ago I had a poll to decide which story I should tell and most of you chose "Escaped from a locked Policia truck in Juarez Mexico"
I tried to write the story twice, but one of the characters in the story has passed away. I once googled him after he died and the only hit was for a stop debt collection notification in the newspaper. He had no wife, no children, and perhaps no family to speak of.
Every time I start to write the story I get a little bummed out about someone dying alone at 21. Not super CRY MYSELF TO SLEEP bummed out, but just enough to not want to play OMG WEBLOGZ LULZ.
Sorry for the promise which I now have no intention of keeping,
Clint.

If you send aid to Haiti you are probably sending aid to a rapist.
http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/haiti/rape.htm
If you are sending aid to Hope Arkansas you are sending aid to someone who thinks rape is bad.
http://www.redcrosslittlerock.org/forms/2009AnnualReport.pdf
Your choice your money.
The red cross can do whatever they want as it is a private charity; however it is wrong of the AMERICAN GOVERNMENT to be doing things all over the world to help the destitute poor when even one american goes without clean drinking water

her post in italicsI must gleefully admit that I had a very eventful weekend at my Aunt's church, especially on the Saturday afternoon, where I had spent the whole day rumaging through my closet (at my aunt's house and mine) for clothes or items that were still decent enough to be worn by an actual human being and decent enough to be utilized to send to the Haiti Relief program, this we all did before we left for the church. I had already donated some money in my savings account which wasn't a whole lot (150+ dollars), and I sent candles, tin food, and bandages, all of which I had been saving up for a rainy day just this Sunday, so I sincerly hope that they are on their way to that poor impoverished Caribbean Island as we speak.
Did you know that the people in Haiti are compelled to sell mud cakes (like mud pies that we used to make when we were children when we used to play house) for food and survival? They are that poverty-stricken, and sometimes we sit here and we complain about our lives being so horrible and desolate when there are so many people with MORE problems outside of the U.S who can't find it possible to take a shower, eat a decent meal, or find shelter from something thought as simple as running from the rain; some mothers can't even feed their children decent food regularly and some are forced to feed them mud so they don't go to sleep hungry. As a mother, I cannot imagine doing that to my own child or suffering my son to that kind of bizarre lifestyle, but mothers often do what they have to do, and I know that must have costed them pain to enable them to do that to their own children for survival.
Looking at this picture at work today for example made me feel guilty while I sat there eating my lunch staring at my laptop:
It just isn't fair that things like this are happening in the world today (and its incredibly easy for people to comment "life isn't fair" because it isn't happening to them, well nobody, not even your worst enemy, deserves that). No child deserves to live like that. No one.
I don't even want to imagine what a kid as malnourished and as frail and as weak/unhealthy as he is (and many other kids like him) would be underneath the heap of rubbles that was shown on t.v.
It utterly makes me shudder.
My reply:
Try looking at Hope, Arkansas. People there live in tin shacks and it's in america. If you really want to get involved get involved in a country where they don't hate you, America.
Note: I said America at the end because one of the sergeants I work with says AMERICA at the end of every spoken paragraph and he has me doing it now
As far as I can remember, you insensitive piece of shit, people don't actually sell mud pies to people here on a regular basis to make money or are forced to give dirt to their children because the food in their own country is too expensive to purchase and extraordinarily high inflation and taxes burden their backs. There are no fucking shelters for the homeless or the destitute or the hopeless (which make up over 80% of their population) in Haiti, neither do they collect unemployment, nor welfare, nor free health care for medical supplies. They either die, or they literally look like the skin and bones of a child I posted above.
You're a privileged, despicable, disgusting, American asshole who is too selfrighteous and bigoted/ignorant to even help himself from making an utter and complete fool of himself; people like you ARE THE REASON they hate our country, asshole. You give a bad name to the American people, "people hating America" has nothing to do with starving innocent children who were unlucky enough to be born in a world as unstable as that, you insensitive, indecent low life.
Thanks for reminding me why exactly I never supported the troops invading a sovereign country simply because they supposedly hate the "American people" (I wonder why) and they are "Arabs", Iraqis/"Middle-easterns" so that means they are automatically terrorists who hijack planes and whom were building massive nuclear weapons in their country, even though there was no evidence to support the possession of a weapons of mass destruction in Iraq to this date.
I responded with something about children in Southern Arkansas having diseases doctors in cities have never heard of because they come from drinking stagnant water, and everyone I know who served in Haiti talking about how much Haitians hate us or somthing but I was of course already SUPER BANNED It doesn't matter, you can't tell 19 year olds anything anyway. Have fun with your white guilt, teenager.
That about sums up my feelings about Haiti, though

The economy needs to hit the last leg of the W right the fuck now because I'm trying to buy a house and my largest holding is down. I can't sell a stock that is down I SELL STOCK THAT IS UP IF NOT I LOSE MONEY.
Seriously though, this one bad investment in GME offsets a whole year of aggressive investing and puts my investment portfolio at about the same if I had it in some money market earning 6% interest. The fuck that is put on it is GME is still doing well, just after I bought it the idiots who get paid to say what stick you should buy all rated it DO IT NOW FAGGOT and then downgraded it. Downgrading under valuates a stock. Now I am the holder of the stock equivalent of THAT PIMPLE FACED GIRL IN HIGH SCHOOL YOU TOTALLY KNOW WILL BE HOT SOME DAY AND HAS A GOOD PERSONALITY BECAUSE HER FACE IS ALL FUCKED UP
At least I was smart enough to dump all my bank stocks in Sept before we went down the V in the W

We managed to get two xboxs linked up together inside the TOC and played HALO for hours tonight after my shift. Also I managed to get one of my projects together. It feels good to be effective. I played HALO for four hours. Considering I live in a mud hole in a third world country it was awesome. I feel good about myself, and now I'm yellin domino ...
BREAK FOR OBLIGATORY LIVEJOURNAL COPY PASTED SONG LYRICS
Just waking up in the morning gotta thank God
I don't know but today seems kinda odd
No barking from the dog, no smog
And momma cooked a breakfast with no hog
I got my grub on, but didn't pig out
Finally got a call from a girl wanna dig out
Hooked it up for later as I hit the do'
Thinking will i live, another twenty-fo'
I gotta go cause I got me a drop top
And if I hit the switch, I can make the ass drop
Had to stop at a red light
Looking in my mirror not a jacker in sight
And everything is alright
I got a beep from Kim and she can fuck all night
Called up the homies and I'm askin y'all
Which park, are y'all playin basketball?
Get me on the court and I'm trouble
Last week fuck around and got a triple double
Freaking niggaz every way like M.J.
I can't believe, today was a good day
Drove to the pad and hit the showers
Didn't even get no static from the cowards
Cause just yesterday them fools tried to blast me
Saw the police and they rolled right past me
No flexin, didn't even look in a niggaz direction
as I ran the intersection
Went to Short Dog's house, they was watchin YO! MTV Raps
What's the haps on the craps
Shake em up, shake em up, shake em up, shake em
Roll em in a circle of niggaz and watch me break em
With the seven, seven-eleven, seven-eleven
Seven even back do' little Joe
I picked up the cash flow
Then we played bones, and I'm yellin domino
Plus nobody I know got killed in South Central L.A.
Today was a good day
Left my niggaz house paid
Picked up a girl been tryin to do since the twelfth grade
It's ironic, I had the blunt she had the chronic
The Lakers beat the Supersonics
I felt on the big fat fanny
Pulled out the jammy, and killed the punanny
And my dick runs deep, so deep, so deep
put her ass to sleep
Woke her up around one
she didn't hesitate, to call Ice Cube the top gun
Drove her to the pad and I'm coasting
Took another sip of the potion hit the three-wheel motion
I was glad everything had worked out
Dropped her ass off, then I chirped out
Today was like one of those fly dreams
Didn't even see a berry flashing those high beams
No helicopter looking for a murder
Two in the morning got the Fatburger
Even saw the lights of the Goodyear Blimp
And it read Ice Cube's a pimp
Drunk as hell but no throwing up
Half way home and my pager still blowing up
Today I didn't even have to use my A.K.
I got to say it was a good day.
Hey wait, wait a minute poo Stop the shit
What the fuck am I thinking about?

http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&q=trolling+because+of+anonymity
I am the #1 hit on google for trolling because of anonymity
The whole Lady Gaga phenomenon is sort of just now rolling into Iraq and holy shit I've never seen anyone create so much hype for being so mediocre.
One of her videos came on Armed Forces Network and we had people actually come into the office just to say she's not hot.
Wtf is that?
No one would have done it if Tracy Chapman came on, nor the Indigo Girls, nor the anyone else. She a standout because of exceptional mediocrity. WTF is that shit?
Oh well, time to start seeding old google with some positive hits for the job search. Time to make a facebook about how I feed soup to starving children on my off time and how I am making a new year's resolution to be more polite to co-workers so they are properly aged by the time I start looking for a job. This one gets good google hits

Until I saw this test widget I asumed like 20% of everyone was INTP because everyone I know seems to be one as well. When you go to that site it says INTP account for 4% of the population. Now I guess we know who I get along with.
I've seen two of these go up already and guess what types both of them were...

Please stop using tinypic it is banned by my ISP :(
I think their site probably allows for embedding malicious code that tricks your browser into thinking it is downloading pictures.
Come to think of it if you are a firefox user you should probably right click on a picture and block tinypic for this reason

Dear old people in the ad biz, I know that thirty years ago you changed the way people think about TV commercials, but it's not thirty years ago and the internet is not a TV no matter how much you want to passively beam information at me. If your service is geared to people unsatisfied with their internet connection speed a data intensive flash splash is not needed.
If you are selling anything to anyone a flash splash is probably not needed, but if you're selling solutions to people unsatisfied with their 3g modems that's kind of like having an outdoor symposium to sell products to agoraphobes.
