Moving Day

I wanted a personal site again, so I made one: Draconis Central. That is where I’ll be for the time being. I’m done hopping around for quite a while(seriously, I am. Well, unles someone offers to build an actual HTML website for me within the next year). I will keep this blog up until I decide if I want to copy paste anything to the the new site.

 

Fun Times Were Had,

and I was not invited. Instead, my computer crapped out, it was April before I got it fixed, and family issues popped up along the way. After that, I downloaded the trial vesion of City of Heroes, and here I am.

So…CoH is awesome. So awesome, that I bought the full game and intend to pay the monthly fee. I may even do a weekly or bi-weekly update of my progress in the game. Any info about any of my five characters will be in these updates.

 

 

 

…That’s it. I’ve nothing to rant about at the moment.

 

Magic Jesus Time Redux

I got one helluva kick out of the blatant homophobic bile spewed by this person. I would have left a comment, but I don’t want to start a holy war with a hate filled religious cuntbag over the internet. I like doing that in person.

 

My kids had the following conversation at the store yesterday, very loudly, and within ear shot of several other customers:

John (4 years old): Barack Obama, and the devil, and the government are worser than anything else in the world.

Isaac (5 years old): Mom, John actually told me that he thinks Barack Obama is worse than the faggots.

Ah, precious moments!

Precious moments indeed. Those homophobic treasures will either have the shit kicked out of them on a regular basis, be killed, or kill someone for being different. Read the rest of this wonderful excerpt from the life of a narrowminded dried up cunt of a woman here.

I got a kick out of how nine of thirteen comments left were just as hateful.

Also, Christine, I don’t think “Obama sucks” is considered a heated debate. I’m also pretty sure that most seven year olds will follow the person getting the most attention, whether it be good or bad, and whether they agree or not. I’m also pretty sure that he got the baby killer part from your cunt flap of a mouth.

Oh yes, on the subject of those books, I’m pretty sure they were written to teach kids to be tolerant of people who are different than them, and maybe even help them mature into young adults who don’t look down on people for being different.

The world is a very diverse place, but some people are so narrowminded, they preach words of hate to their children, creating more murderers, and violent religous fanatics. It saddens me that someone who claims to be close to God can be such an elitist moron. I look forward to the day when we can relocate all the racists, homophobes, violent/hateful religous fanatics, murderers, rapists, and child molesters to the moon. That day will probably never come, but a man can dream.

 

Real life drama packs one helluva punch.

So, a couple days ago, my cat died. I figured it was his time when he lost the use of his back legs and had to drag himself around with the front ones. Instead of using all of my bill/grocery money just to have some vet tell me he was gonna die soon, and I could postpone that death for another day or two with expensive pain meds, I let nature take it’s course. Anyone who calls me cruel for doing so can go fuck themselves. It was either go without food, water, electricity, and heat until next month, or let the cat crawl behind the couch and die, bury him in the backyard, and go sulk. I chose the option that keeps me from winding up in the hospital due to dehydration, and starvation.

The very same night, my stepmother had a diabetic seizure because she isn’t taking her pills, or insulin. She’s been in the hospital for a couple of days. Whe she gets out, she’ll keep up on her meds and insulin for a bit, and then stop taking them. So, as of two days ago, my father and I moved everything they have into my place. We got Charter out here to hook up another TV and PC, and everything has been unpacked and put in it’s place. I had to move a load of boxes to the basement to free up the extra bedroom, and the living room is no longer my domain. Their recliners, couch, TV, and other little gaudy knick-knacks have replaced my couch and TV. The dining room no longer houses my PC, it houses my stepmother’s. My stuff is confined to my bedroom now, instead of there just being a bed and nightstand.

So, I’m taking a break from the internet. This will last at least a few days. No lurking, viewing Gamefaqs, reading webcomics, or checking websites. Just me, my DS and Wii, and my thoughts.

EDIT: Apparently, all that drama didn’t leave a big enough impact on my life to warrant me being gone for more than two days.

 

Magic Jesus Time

So, I went and got a job two days ago…and quit yesterday. Apparently, my employer thought I was worth being convert- I mean molded into a devout Christian. It started out innocent enough, an invite to share a meal with him and his wife in their home. I was told it was to discuss something job related.

I noticed a bible sitting out, and bowed my head to give thanks for the food. Ok, I’m fine with that, it’s their home and I’m a guest. Plus, I wanted to keep my job. It was a nice dinner, and I thanked them for their hospitality.

Yeah…they showed up at my place yesterday morning, bibles in hand. I opened the door to clear things up before they started thinking I wanted to be converted. Former boss forced me into a chair while his wife screamed “SINNER REPENT!” over and over. That’s when I forcibly ejected them from my home, called them bible thumping morons, and quit my job.

The job search continues, and I hate the world a bit more. Geez, I just spent my gift money on a couple of games and a VCR/DVD combo, got my scanner/printer/copier working, got a job, and was finally starting to not be an ass towards everyone when this crap smacks me in the face. Now I have to scrimp and save and worry if I’ll be able to pay the rent, bills, and have enough for food.

Where’s the goddamned easy button for this bullshit?!

 

Holy War has been declared…

and I’m the target! Some crazy bible thumping woman who looks like she just crawled out of the gutter has made three attempts to put a cross in my yard. I just tossed the makeshift crosses into the nearby creek the first two times. I caved under the pressure of wanting to be an asshole the third time, and painted ‘666′ in red right down the middle of the cross.

The loony woman nearly broke my door down when she confronted me. She called me a blasphemer and said she would punish me in the name of god. I laughed, closed the door, and called the cops. There was a five second high speed chase on my street which abrubtly end when the crazy lady crashed into a tree while trying to turn the corner.

As she was was being dragged away, she called me the spawn of Satan, and said my time would come. She’s right. I’m either going to go out fighting, or someone will be so fed up with the eighty year old bull headed asshole, and will smother me with a pillow.

 

*sigh*

“Quick Martha, git the bibles! The non-believers are talking about Christmas!”

So, anybody who reads this blog, and happened upon my last post knows I currently don’t like the holiday season. The above is one of the reasons. I have tried to keep myself from discussing religion here, but a previous post opened up the flood gates of disdain I have for religious nuts, so this post may seem like nothing but one long insult.

First off, Christians bitching about non-believers trying to force them out of the public’s view can go fuck themselves. You’re hypocrites, and you know it. It’s the same damn thing you do when you try to force actual facts out of a public school’s curriculum in favor of ‘Magic Jesus Time’. You bitch and moan that Darwin was a quack but you want to teach children that god snapped his fingers, and created people, and that evolution is a myth.

It’s great that you want to give people something to believe in, but you’re going about all wrong. Stop being so damned anal about people who don’t believe in faith over fact. I hear claims of acceptance, but that’s a bunch of bull. Oppressing people and casting judgement is what you’re really doing. Seeing no problems with some middle aged man taking four underaged wives, but when two people of the same sex truly love eachother, the gloves are off, and you silly morons bitch and moan, and do everything in your power to stop it. Yet, when someone calls you on being bigoted little whiners, you scream oppression.

I feel sorry for the level headed people who share your religion, I truly do. I feel sorrier for your god. He has to watch his children be biased little brats because some nut claimed he spoke to him, and then spread word to a bunch of gullible people or those who desperately wanted something to believe in that those who worshiped this god would be saved. And then he went and wrote a buch of crap about how everyone except straight white christians was unworthy.

I’m tired of all this beat around the fence shit. Just come out and fucking say, “It’s my way, or the highway”. That’s what the bigoted, oppressive half of the christian population is really thinking. Why try to dress it up? Afraid you’ll look like mouth breating hateful pricks and cunts? You already do.

 

Christmas spirit will not ooze off of me this year.

Instead of shutting off the cynical asshole routine I put on when in the company of family, or people I just don’t like and actually being nice for the whole month of December like I have done the last eight years, I’m gonna be a Scrooge this holiday season. I am going to attend family gatherings, but if one of my dingbat relatives irks me, I won’t ignore it. Instead, I’ll point out that they are fucking stupid, and move on to the next person that does something I don’t like.

I honestly don’t want to be an asshole during Christmas, but it is unavoidable. I’ve been doing multiple odd jobs for the past few months, as well as being fired from many would be steady jobs simply because I will not bend over so the current employer could screw me over. I am currently low on funds right now having spent the last of my money on food. I must remember to thank the relatives who stole half of it for themselves leaving me with meager offerings of half a loaf of bread, half a jar of peanut butter, half a jar of jelly, enough ground hamburger for one meal, and a few eggs. How I will survive a month on this I do not know, but I have done it before. I know for a fact that I will recieve no help from my family. Well, those of them who can afford to help. The others are pretty much in the same situation as me. Mooching relatives, and being tight on cash.

That’s not the best part though. I got held up at gunpoint for forty bucks. I also got shot at after refusing to hand over my money, and instead opting to clobber the little pissant who didn’t know how to use a gun properly. So, I’m gonna be a prick for the holiday season. This may be the start of me hating Christmas.

 

From atheist to weak agnostic.

Apparently, I’ve been on and off the fence about where I stand with there being celestial beings floating around, making shit happen. One day, I’m all “No god would send innocent people to their death”, the day after, I’m pondering if I’ll wind up in heaven, hell, or just some hole in the ground. I’ve stated that their is not a god, and a few years later, I believe there is. Shit happens, and I call whatever being may be listening a vindictive prick and go about my day.

Lately, I’ve kinda settled on there being gods, but that’s about it. I’m still a proud subscriber to fact over faith. I do not believe that the universe was created in a week by the will of some almighty being. I do not believe that humans just suddenly appeared. I merely think that there may be some entity watching as shit happens. That’s it. I do not believe that if I pray, my soul will be saved(considering cold hearted murders, rapists, and child molesters can supposedly do the same is a big turn off for me), or that there will be a second coming. I loathe dealing with the members of any religion that I affectioniately refer to as ‘bible thumpers’. Ya know, the ones that try to convert everyone, and get all defensive when someone calls ‘em on being whackadoos.

I just hate it when someone tries to shove some ‘the bible says’ crap down my throat. I prefer common sense and human decency, thank you very much. Just because I believe that someone or something is watching over the universe doesn’t mean I want to worship them/it blindly. If anything, who or whatever is watching is nothing more than a witness in my eyes. I have nothing against anyone that has stronger beliefs, but I do have something against people who look down on a minority because a book told them to, or their god told them to, or any other reason for that matter.

I’m curious, is God up there telling people to pick on someone who isn’t the same color, same religion, or straight? Is he saying “Burn down the home of that person who isn’t like you in my name” or is that just someone being a hateful prick, or pyschotic? Either way, it’s still wrong, and fucking stupid. But then again, that’s one of the reasons the world, particularly the good ol’ U.S.A is such a festering shithole

Oh dear, it seems I have veered slightly off-topic. I meant to be all insightful about my beliefs, but I’ve gone and dragged my moral beliefs into this post. Oh me oh my, whyever did I lump religious and moral beliefs together? Can they be connected in some way?

Why is it when I unload all of this upon a Jehovah’s Witness, they don’t take the hint, and try to force their ways on me? Am I wearing a sign that says “I’m a gullible fool, twist my words and I’ll break down and sob about wanting to be saved”? Maybe I should wear one that says, “I will mock you infront of many people. I may even stealthily follow you and impede your efforts to convert anyone else. If I am extremely bored, I may tape a sign on your back that reads ‘Ask me how many fools I’ve converted today’.”

…I was extermely bored.

 

Fun Times at the Grocery Store.

Okay, I wasn’t going to let this little incident from a few hours ago get to me, but a line was crossed, and I feel like letting off some steam.

So, I go out to pick up some milk, bread, and other little shit from the local market. While I was there, I happened to glance at two gay men arguing. No big deal, I’ve seen my mother and father go at it when I was a kid, the only difference was instead of a man and woman, it was two men. Didn’t concern me, so I ignored it.

I’m about to pay for what I bought, when one of the guys from the argument approaches me and starts going off about how it’s completely natural for anyone in a relationship to argue, and how this has no reflection on gay relationships. I agree with him, and add that I could care less about who is gay, and who is not, and how any relationships I’m not a part of play out. He calls me a homophobe, and I quote my earlier statement, making sure to speak slowly and clearly. He screams intolerance, and everyone in the store looks at me like I just ate a baby.

This is where the fun begins. I forget about my foodstuffs for the moment, and loudly state that I could care less who fucks who. That earns me a couple of eye rolls, and assinine remarks. Time to do what I do best: point out some idiots. First, I decide to go after the people I don’t know, starting with that mother I heard telling her son to stay away from the ‘fags’ while she was looking at various meat products. Then I point out the two chuckleheads who pointed and made rude gestures.

Next up, the jerks I have come to know and despise. I start with an asshole named Bob. “Hey Bob, weren’t you saying how you would like to confine every gay man to Africa, and in your words ‘nuke the fags and niggers’ while you were getting your car looked at the other day?” This man actually flagged me down while I was on my way home the other day, and spewed that exact line of hateful ignorance. Oh, oh, then there was Miss Mary. Sweet lady, makes some damned good cookies, but she’s a bit on the ‘raving Christian nutjub with no tolerance for anybody who isn’t white and straight’ side. She’s civil towards everyone until they’re out of earshot. Then she starts going on about how the world isn’t pure anymore. I wouldn’t have dragged her into this, but that ‘he’s a blasphemous satan worshipper’ remark she made about me to the black guy who she called a ‘dirty mudchild’ moments later hurt a bit.

Yes, people get treated like shit for being different. Yes, it’s wrong. That doesn’t mean that you can target random people and scream ‘bias, racism, intolerance, homophobe’ or something else along those lines for no reason. That’s like cursing out a bike for not being a car, it’s just plain fucking stupid. If you want to scream ‘intolerance’, then you should be absolutely positive the person you’re harassing is guilty of being intolerant. And don’t pull that when you were a toddler crap, or gradeschool crap either. It’s not a todler’s fault if their parents are narrow minded pricks, and in school, it’s all about looking cool, not knowing what the words mean. I’m talking about real intolerance, like violence, and harrassment.

I grabbed my bags, and walked out of the building as it fell deathly silent. Another job well done.
