AAARGH!!!

Salted roads + people driving on them = nasty brown much that gets everywhere...

When this gets on your rear windows (that don't have wipers), and then dries, it is extremely difficult to see through. Add the sun, and it lights up like a stadium floodlight, and thus one can see even less...

Sunlight + side mirrors = blinded driver

Thus one sees EVEN less of what goes on around/behind you.

Ice/snow + worn shoes = slippery on pedals

When (not if) ones foot slips off the clutch pedal while reversing, the car will leap backwards uncontrollably.

Add all these things together, and what you get is a Mini that needs a new rear light and some bodywork, and a Mitsubishi Lancer that needs a new headlight and wing...

Now try to guess what I did today... Yay...

Oh no! Snow sux! Sorry to hear about that. I hope everything works out (that sounded lame--but it was sincere).
2022 update: Working on the new astrology book. "How to read tarot" books are on Amazon, if you are into that sort of thing.
Okay, so the old podcast is here: https://www.podomatic.com/podcasts/radioavatar It was goofy fun that ended too soon, but we had creative people. I hope we can get a new gang together (interested? PM me, let's make some magic!)

I agree, a few years ago I loved snow. Now I hate it with a passion

I work for an Elementary school during the day. The district, in all honesty, will bend over for any parent that complains about anything, for any reason. I'm a security guard, and well, crap rolls downhill. I got yelled at because I brought two kids who were fighting to the office to have a chat with the principal. Why? Because I'm too mean and harsh, and apparently holding kids responsible for their own actions and making them follow the rules doesn't provide a loving and caring environment. Apparently the kids who get in trouble like to go home and complain to their parents that I'm mean. The parents in turn yell at my boss, who in turn yells at me for enforcing the rules. The security guard who is brand and would write reward slips to kids for "playing nicely" and "wearing a cute outfit" got a promotion over me. Its my second year there.

The same is in my school. It is really annoying. I hope everything works out for you  ;)

My uncle's dog came over a little less than one week ago. I stupidly left the computer plug on the floor. That night, his dog chewed it up. So, the next morning, I go looking for the plug and I find a chewed up piece of metal. I sadly cannot purchase a new plug right now, and my computer's battery is out. I'm at my public library.

Also, I discovered this promising "small business" film company called Mirror Entertainment. It looks really promising: http://www.mirrorente

You know what really grinds my gears?

Stupid people who don't know how to handle money.

This occurs to me every time I go out to get lunch, and people ALWAYS gasp in suprise at the amount of food I bring back for really cheap. It's not that hard to do, and yet people act like I'm sort of money GOD and are always asking me to lend them cash, and are suprised to discover I only got like, five bucks on me tops.

This drives me insain because people throw their money away when they can get huge amounts of food for cheap!

Alright, and it's time again for 'Skull cru... I mean, Rants, with The Dangerous Dreamwalker.'

You know what really grinds my gears?

10th Level Prestigers in Modern Warfare 2.

Specificly hated because they are only 10th level because they cheated and level boosted.

Now, I don't really mind the fact that they are 10th Level. I mean, I'll kick their asses anyway. I nuked a whole team of them not three days ago, but it still pisses me off.

Why?

Because they're hacking a Game and trying to make themselfs look impressive with a full upgrade I mean, what's the bloody-f***ing point of playing the game to get up levels and the like if you're just going to cheat yourway to the highest level?? Doesn't that kind of subvert the whole point of the system?

The title isn't really all that impressive, and it's not like Infinity Ward was offering a 10,000$ award for whoever could hit 70 10th first!

Now, I understand the point of Multi-player in MW:2 is to PWN as many people as possible, but cheating isn't the way to go about this.

Gamehackers and cheaters need to go die in a ditch or do something productive.

This is why for the longest time, if I cheated in a game, and it could connect online, I would NEVER use a hacked account online.  However, that was two years ago.  I gave up cheating completely, and I'm progressing even further to just not playing games at all.

If you're going to cheat at all, I would only use "in-game," and even then it's a stretch.

Back on topic.

I hate how some people think that what I plan on doing for a career makes me "have stars in my eyes."  Yeah, I want to drum professionally, but that doesn't mean I'm going out and playing in the next P.O.D. or Disturbed.  It would be nice, but I don't want that at the moment.  I'd rather just be a drummer playing for "local" gigs, such as (depending on location) Broadway musicals, blues bars, clubs, etc., while maintaining a solid career in a studio.

Okay, so i am off work and tired of playing around with different voice FX programs for th podcast. can't find any I like anyway. I turn on the TV for some noise and "speed skating" is on. Alright, I might as well apologize in advance if you live in Canada, or have a brother, sister, grandmother who is into speed skating, or ice dancing, or even speed dancing. But this sucks. NBC said it would have snowboarding.

I would be snowboarding myself right now except for the fact that A: Snowboarding is expensive. I can't afford a sweet Burton ride, boots, and a pass to the only place in Southern California (2 hours away--each way0. I do have a nice Columbia jacket though, and some gloves.

So the Olympics suck. Watching men pretty much run in slow motion around an oval ice rink is about as exciting as watching fish swim. I actually like to watch fish swim, so if they had that on CBS right now, I would probably be watching it. I am bored.

(By the way I am still planning on trying out for the 2012 or 2016 sailing team.)

You know what really grinds my gears?

People who insert memes into everything, no matter what the topic is. Now, don't get me wrong, a perfectly placed (THE GAME) meme is perfectly fine when used right and can release tension and get a laugh from some people.

Just like how Rick Ashly is never going to give you up, let you down, run around and desert you though, these guys just will not stop, no matter what the scouters say about his or her powerlevels.

((I'll stop now.)) It gets really annoying sometimes though, especially when you're trying to have a serious conversation and some prick just goes into a bunch of memes.

No offence guys, but that REALLY grinds my gears.

It drives me nuts that after 18 years of my mother working me like a dog, using me as a whipping post when she has a bad day, excluding me from nice things that families usually do together, and telling me what a horrible person I am every day.... she wonders why I don't want to visit now that I've moved out.

O. M. G.

Yeah, when CPS showed up at the house all those years ago, it was kind of a wake-up for her... I think.  But the real wounds that never go away are inflicted on the soul.

Not really.

For the most part, you seem to use meme's properly and can be serious. The people I'm talking about...

well, even YOU would be pissed off by them.

ummm. total noob question, but what are memes?
