Say Anything.

My facebook pet peeve is the
"I am awesome cause I feel this way about this awesome subject. 97% of you are not as awesome as I am. If you are awesome like me, post this on your page. "
Those posts irritate me and even if I agree with the message I refuse to copy and paste them.

There was a point a few months ago where tons of those were showing up, so I just created my own:

P.S.: He never posted it as his status.

haha, I love that one.

I'm so late reading all of this...

Good luck, Jet. I'll be thinking of you -- I know it will all work out.

If I were a lesbian, I would be all about Ocean Shores right now.

Happy Birthday to Michael; and I wish you the best, Vulash.

This weekend has been so insane. A very good friend of mine went into the hospital Thursday with complications with his foot due to diabetes. The long and the short of it is that he most likely will have to get most of his lower leg amputated. He has no insurance, but thank God he has no assets to take.

Sunday, those closest to him gathered at a restaurant and divided up the tasks of how to care for him, what agencies to contact for assistance, who he'll stay with for his approximately 4 to six months of convalescence, settling utilities, clearing out his apartment, and how to acquire money in a tax-free way to cover incidentals of caring for him. It helps that in this little amazing group we have two public policy advocates and a bank account manager who has deep connections with non-profits and service organizations in Portland.

People are so amazing. My friend has a tough road with really hard decisions, but he knows that he has an army behind him. Sometimes I wonder why humanity hasn't destroyed itself, but then there are times that Good is so palpable and substantial that I feel as if I can reach out and grab a hold of it right then and there. I think human decency gets lost in the noise of vulgarity and violence, but that decency is as deep and ancient as any force of nature.

I'm so sorry about your friend, Wystro, but he's a lucky man to have friends like you. I think the worst thing about a recovery is the quality of life, not just the pain, and you guys providing this much support and love will make his infinitely better. You're a good bean, Charlie Brown.

Vulash, it can only get better. You know you're loved, too.

That bites wystro, I hope the best for your friend!
I know my hubby's stepfather had the same issues with diabetes.. I think he lost both his legs and part of an arm? I don't remember ( I had never met him)

I understand your feeling Vulash, I think I was angry for the months after Lynie died ( My sister in law).. I still am and I still cry whenever I think of her, but I think it will be hardest come November and December, the anniversary of her death and my birthday when I will be another year older and she will still only ever be 32. She should not have died, she was younger than me by six months, she introduced me and set me up with her brother, my husband, and made me part of her family years before I ever knew David. We were inseparable when we were young and now she is gone just when she was getting to finally have a family.. the one thing she had wanted since high school, and it sucks, and she should not have died and her baby girl should not be without a mommy.

and yeah.. thats pretty much my though process every time I think of her. ><

Because we are too dumb. If we keep trying, though, hard work and persistence will pay off! ;)



Honestly, I never really considered it that way before. Interesting. I knew that it was the case with the media, because tragedy and drama is what sells, and I knew that we pay more attention to the "bad" because that's what has the most potential to do us harm, so it makes evolutionary sense... but still, I guess I never put it all together in quite that way. This has given me something to think about.

I dunno.. I think some try really hard.. then the do gooders feel sorry for the ones killing themselves off and send charity to rescue them..

Who tries really hard? This confuses me.

Noone specific, but it happens constantly.. people have disasters, famine, war, whatever, and someone helps. It might be the natural order causing these things and we prevent it, but its in our nature to want to help.

for better or for worse, we hit rock bottom then someone pulls us up.

However I am not one of those people who think humans are the cause of everything bad in the world, or good, or anything. It just is. We are who we are, and everyone is different, so generalizing isn't fair because some people.. some countries.. are only the way they are because their families,societies, government or geographic location, or a combination of those, put them in the situations they are in. Blaming is easy, and sometimes justified, but if there is nothing one can do about it then it is what it is.

Speaking of evil in this world, I'm about to go to the bank.

Heh heh.



P.S.: It's well after closing time, so I'll only have to deal with the ATM. It's an evil ATM, though.

Be careful!

Since I got my iphone, I've been hardcore using the foursquare app where you check into places and get Mayorships and shit. I've been going to our base gym like 3-4 times a week and finally ousted the guy who had the mayorship. Dude took it back today and was there when I got there to work out just now. I wanted to find this guy and tell him 'GAME ON MOTHER FUCKER' but he has a fake picture so I had no idea who he was and I couldn't go around yelling 'HEY CHRIS YOU FUCKER' without probably getting kicked out.

So Chris wants to dance? I got my dancing shoes, motherfucker, and a free babysitter. It's on.


...I think all the gym testosterone is getting to me. O_o

Okay, check this out.

I confused my arm with a pork roast the other day and burned the shit out of it. NOW, a fucking mosquito has come along and bitten me ON THE FUCKING BURNED DISGUSTING PEELING AWAY SKIN / PINK SKIN UNDERNEATH THAT MESS. There is no word that properly encompasses my eternal loathing for these fucking things.

Fuck a bunch of fucking mosquitoes.

lol. There is one in my house RIGHT NOW and it keeps biting the backs of my fingers. It's been in here for a few days, or maybe it has friends/family, or is part of some Culicidae Expedition Force, but whatever the case, they all have the same objective: bite the shit out of the backs of my fingers.

FUCK A BUNCH OF FUCKING MOSQUITOES.

Biting you multiple times over the course of days? FUCKING KILL IT

There's a thought.

Emphatically seconded.
