Quick Arguments Thought of While Waiting On A Someone

The other day, I was waiting to meet up with someone. She was late as always – but it mattered not. The time spent while I was waiting on her was well spent. I let my thoughts drift and found myself wanting for a pen and paper. All I could get was the back of a receipt to write on.

Argument 1:

Sure, it is normal for some animals to be homosexual. It is also normal for monkeys to fling their poop.

Argument 2:

A woman’s happiness lies with a supportive family and cooking, for in the end, her looks will fade and family and cooking will be all she has left or ever need.

Argument 3:

The biggest fear of the politically active homosexual is that he has nothing of worth to his name besides owning and accepting his own sexual orientation – and no one even gives a shit about that.

Argument 4:

The biggest fear of the politically active feminist is that now woman are “equal” with men – and no one truly gives a shit about her opinions, even now.

Argument 5:

If you desire equality with someone by bringing them down to your level – you don’t wish to be as good as them so much as you don’t want them to be better than you.

Argument 6:

When a woman sees it fit to use her own example to discredit an argument of mine, I like to use one of her own discredit her attempt to discredit; I remind her that NAWALT.

That’s all for today, class dismissed.

Gedicht der Woche: Auf der Spree

“Eines heiβen Tages, lagen wir auf der Spree,

Endlich könnten wir ihn genieβen, ein Tag ohne Schnee,

Der Himmel war hellblau, die Sonne heiss, und Lippen weich,

Da waren zuzweit, und leicht verging die Zeit,

Auf dem Weg zurück, führen wir zuerst mit dem Zug,

Da wurde uns etwas gesagt, von einer die sehr “weltklug”,

Ihr Ausdrück war so sauer, sie sagte es nach einer Pause,

Wir lachten darüber, “Hey! Habt ihr kein Zuhause?”,

Es gingen langsam, um niemanden zu verletzen,

Denn wir wüssten uns zusammen zu schätzchen.”

Why I Drink

I drink because it slows me down.

My head moves fast – too fast sometimes to translate the connections the electrical synapses make into words. My life has moved quite fast also. Living in one country and then the other. One house, one school, and then another. Making new friends and just as soon saying good bye. Life comes at you fast.

And alcohol is my way of slowing it down.

I won’t make claim that I’m genius because I drink – but it’s true. I can’t really turn my brain off.

I’ve learned I can focus it on things. And sometimes it focuses on things without me telling it.

Since being in the game, I’ve been able to slow it down without the aid of my old friend, drink. In paradoxical way, I think slower by thinking faster. How does that work you may ask?

As I’ve gained experience, I know many answers to questions that used to stump me; what to do, how, and when. So instead of having a million questions – I quickly answer most of them and end up with a few. The end result? I have less to think about.

Testament to my advancement – I’m starting to enter territory where when I answer certain questions, I’m right….and I find I don’t always like it.

Absence

I’ve been away due to university kicking my ass, dealing with an overseas girlfriend and the acquisition of another near home base, and army ROTC. Most recently, I just got back from 48 hours of FTX and I am dog tired.

I’m not dead yet, just you wait.

Government Shutdown My Ass

Unsurprisingly, the FBI and the IRS (and probably the CIA and NSA) are still in operation, despite the widely announced shut-down of the US Government.

Federal authorities have charged a man with running Silk Road, a popular online black market for drugs.

The authorities identified the man as Ross Ulbricht, who was arrested by F.B.I. agents Tuesday afternoon at a library in San Francisco. Court papers filed in the case in Manhattan accuse him of engaging in a “massive money-laundering” operation and of trying to arrange a murder-for-hire. Mr. Ulbricht is to appear in federal court on Wednesday in San Francisco.

Mr. Ulbricht solicited a Silk Road user “to execute a murder-for-hire of another Silk Road user, who was threatening to release the identities of thousands of users of the site,” according to a criminal complaint unsealed Wednesday morning. Authorities also seized the Silk Road Web site.

In interviews with news reporters in the past, Mr. Ulbricht has gone by the moniker Dread Pirate Roberts, the authorities said, and until now his identity has remained a mystery.

The Silk Road marketplace is available through Tor, a popular tool for maintaining anonymity online. Bitcoin, a virtual currency, is used for transactions. The identities of sellers are not known to the buyers. About $1.2 million in sales were conducted a month in early 2012, according to a study by an assistant professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Nicolas Christin.

I only wish that it would shut down completely.

Poem of the Week: When You Find Your Mission

“When you find your mission, a better man you’ll be,

The effect’s not immediate, nor plain to see,

Rather it creeps on you, inevitably,

Its affect renews you, steadily,

Until one day you realize what is, that you were born to do,

Go where no man has before, discover the ultimate truth,

And with a hunger you pursue all avenues,

Nought but constraints of time can even limit you,

Your mind runs wild, you no longer feel an ennui,

Life is something of which you can’t get enough to eat,

And there you have it, chained by your dreams,

The cage is lifted and you finally feel free.”

Blog Update: China Pictures & Other Stuff

I’ve just pulled the plug on my last post. At 155 images, it was just too heavy for my internet and I imagine most of my readers too. Crashing the browser if not just freezing it. I admit I got the post out in haste because I was tired of editing everything. I plan to post the same post, but in a series of 4 instead of just by itself.

In other news – I’ve a few topic I’d like to share that I’ve been ruminating on. I also plan to advance my story to bring you guys to new failures, accidental successes, to my present day state.

Love Dogs and Get Laid

LaidNYC says on his latest post:

I have been against monetizing this blog.  It’s been all about the message.

You may have noticed the extremely minimal site design with no ads, popups, mailing list or products.

That is, until last week, when you may have seen that I sent out a shout on twitter that I was putting out an ebook.

Why the sudden change of heart?

Well, my dog went blind two weeks ago.

At first the vet thought it was something called immune-mediated retinopathy, which is pretty nasty and incurable.  However, after further exams they decided the problem was with her lens.  Some “bubbling”,  and it can be fixed with surgery.

The price? Around $5000.

With no pet insurance, a little steep.

I plan to give and I hope some of you can afford to do the same.

Respectfully,

Wald
