Hey everybody! 2008 is an election year in America. Most people are already counting down the days that Bush has left in office. So far the leading candidates are: DEMOCRATS (in no particular order) Hillary Clinton Barack Obama John Edwards REPUBLICANS John McCain Mitt Romney Mike Huckabee Being the loyal left-wing Democrat that I am, I'll be rooting for the Democrats. Romney and Huckabee have got to go. I can't stand either of them. Just hearing about them gets my blood boiling ![>:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/angry.png)

But also things have been a bit... weird lately? I dunno. Just haven't felt like posting in certain places. I hardly write on my LJ anymore actually which is shocking, coz I used to write on it a lot more ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) But meh...

Things are a mess; especially the ecomony. There are quit a few people in West Michigan that are in la-la land about it by saying stuff like time are great. But on the East-side of the state in the like in the Detroit Metro-Area thing are bad.

I like to say I'm good, but that would be a darn right lie. But since I don't feel like talking about it I'm going to say I'm at that point between anger, sad, and happy...

I am still waiting to hear from a corporate position that I applied for Friday. I am hopinf for it so I am not working all of the odds shifts that I work (by that I mean first, second and third shift time.) With that office job I will be able to work banker hours. That will be a big plus.

Ugh <-- that's how it's going with me.
I shall elaborate: work sucks, but somehow, it keeps me occupied in what would otherwise be the eternal boredom I call my life. The MMO I'm playing has been losing its luster and while I do play it a lot still, I'm not craving it anymore. I've dug up a little piece of electronic called a microprocessor program kit, which is now keeping me busy on an off-and-on basis (meaning that frustration after failing the umpteenth time to succesfully program the little bastard dissipates what little motivation I had to give it a try in the first place). There's not a lot for me to look forward to in the foreseeable future either. I'm going into a few meetings soon about mortgage and the likes since I'm planning on getting my own apartment, and that's something to look forward to, if it wasn't for the fact that it's all new and construction won't end until the second quarter of 2009. So yea, that's not getting all that exciting for another while either. I haven't planned any kind of vacation since me 'n my gf broke up last Xmas. Then there's the jerks on the road who can't drive for shit and hit the damn brakes as soon as a raindrop hits their windshield. Or better yet, assholes driving like maniacs without signaling. Add that in a mixture with an overcrowded afternoon rush and you'll have a whole lot of fun ... if you dont' do it too often. Guess what? I get to experience it every damn day. Other than that, there's one of my wisdom teeth coming through and it feels like my mouth's been stung by a bee the size of a basketball. It's not helping me eat, so there's another one of those 'positive things I can't do anymore'. The tooth is basically the whole reason I'm pissed off though, I can take work, I can take crazy traffic, me 'n my ex are still best of friends and keep contact on a regular basis, the mortgage meetings will be fine, too. I'm gonna play the MMO soon and just do it for the social contacts, rather than the leveling. The microprocessor is doing that thing again where it just blinks a little light at me and being idle the rest of the day. That's all kool with me. It's the tooth that gets to me. Someone knock it out plz.
So much for my rant.

That sucks Zyp! ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) I didn't realise you and your gf had broken up. But at least you're still on good speaking terms. The tooth thing though, uuugh indeed ![O_o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/browraise.png) Are you going to get it taken out? Seems other people are going through some shoddy times as well... *hugs all 'round* Good luck with your job application, PB, I hope it all goes well ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Meanwhile, I have a job interview coming up tomorrow myself, heh! Here's hoping something good can come from it. I need more hours that I'm just not getting at my current job.

Good luck at the interview SM. And yes, the tooth is probably goin out, like every other wisdom tooth out there ![:P](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/tongue.png) It's my first one, so I'm not sure if what I'm feeling (and what I saw in the mirror this morning) was normal or not, but I've been through worse so I'm just gonna shrug and hope it won't hurt more later on :/

Thanks ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Well, they want me to do a trial on Monday, so I guess I'll see what happens... And I have another interview elsewhere on Tuesday, LOL! It's all happening ![O_o](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/browraise.png) Hope you can get the tooth thing sorted Zyp. There's nothing worse than having to feel discomfort like that when you've got other things on your mind ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png)

@sm: Good luck with the trial and the second interview ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Hope you get a job you like. And I've been through worse, so the tooth situation is tolerable right now. I can still do my thing ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) @des: Uuhm, most pplz have 4 wisdom teeth :/ And I can't have it yanked out yet coz it's not completely there yet, it's only coming through right now. Gotta wait for another few months I guess. On a sidenote: I -REALLY- gotta get back into flossing -.-

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
People are idiots, Raw FREAKING idiots! Stress, annoyance, anger, all bottled up into one nice big jar of total BS crap soup. (I am making no sense) First it just starts out with another site where everyone true feelings is just boiling up to the point it's going to blow off and they'll be at each other throats in no time.
Three names, who are all staff, pop as subject of complaint for several members and of course they can say nothing because I'm seriously considering the staff there are idiots. And the only one with any sense can easily be overruled by the head admin who has no sense. Someone state an opinion or gives a little criticism they're jumped on and the staff finds them annoying, bitch about them, and all this nice crap it's stupid. The people are just giving a bloody opinion but of course the three foolish staff are so narrow minded and think everything they think is right and anyone else wrong they're only seeing in one bloody color!
And I'm sure one of the mods there hate me, but he's overruled by the higher ups I'm sure to keep his mouth sealed shut as I don't think the admins want to upset me. I remember the admin clearing the air with me when he thought I felt like I was the only person being blamed for this one issue, that would not be an issue in any other site in the world but was here, when others was involved in it. Then again it's my own bloody fault he hates me so meh, don't care. Let him. He's a dick himself so I don't really give a crap about his opinion he can bite me for all I care. But yes the crap is going to hit the fan on that site and part of me just wants to watch it fall because it seems they will learn by no other ways.
Another issue is my friend online dating this woman, claiming to be in love when they never met, he lives in England this woman lives in America. And the woman, who is my friend, for now, but is proving to be a controlling biyotch. She overreacts to the dumbest of things. Got on my case when I didn't vote for her in this MOTM poll on the site I vented about earlier. Thinks the GFX are left to be pissed on when in all reality the GFX board is a secondary subject and the main topic is role playing so bloody FREAKING of course it's secondary!
She also gets on her so called bf case when he falls asleep for 10 bloody minutes and by how the bf talks, (but he has a habit of being over dramatic so I didn't take everything in as truth) she was going to break up with him over it. Now if that's true that doesn't sound like love to me, but I'm no expert on the subject.
But where I'm drawing the line is when she blew up in my friends face when they be honest with her bf and think she doesn't deserve him. And the more I look into this the more I agree with them. She's just a control freak that when she doesn't get her way she acts like a spoiled brat and goes offline. And of course only has no problem with you when you agree with her. But heaven forbid you disagree or she slates you as an ass. So in truth she's a hypocrite, an annoyance, and I had to seriously retrain myself from putting her in her place after I heard how she snapped at my friends for probably no good reason. Even her own best friend blocked her from his MSN list because she was annoying the living hell out of him.
And there's no talking to the friend because he's in a cloud of fog and has the nerve to make my friends say sorry to her when it's her that should be saying sorry to them, but of course he has no back bone to stand up to this woman so it's not surprising why he won't. So I'm just fed up with the idiots on this one site, and my idiot friend who keeps putting himself in the lowest positions and then acts like he's in a bloody one hour soap like "Days of our Lives" or something.
... I think I just pwned Zyp rant. Sorry for the length but this was eating me alive and if I didn't unleash it somewhere I would've snapped on someone involved in my story. Wow, I really do feel better now...
