So I've Been Busy

So.... I've been busy.

Well, kind of.

I now have 22 characters on.... 9 realms. Highest: 80. Lowest : 1. Woo! Go me.

Kwanyi, my 80 Belf hunter joined a friend's guild, and is now getting runs. :heart:

Which means XP, some fun runs, and hey, maybe some new money. I could use the gold, but am a tad bit too lazy to do dailies, and spend time upping alts, tho I haven't gotten one past lvl 33... not counting the DK, which hasn't seen 67. Damn my laziness!

Been a lump on a log. Putting off applying to Burger King and McDonalds (Thank you, UB, for my useless BA in Linguistics!), and looking to work in China. Bad part is, I won't be able to go till August... which means I will be asking if you want fries with that till then x.x

God I love being a graduate.

(Please note sarcasm)

Governmental Rant

If you haven't noticed by now, I like to rant.

Alot.

I figure it is more healthy than drinking, or just holding back and getting a tumor. But also not as radical as charging the state with a pitch fork and torch, though I have a pretty good idea as to why people kinda wanna do that right now.

I say we do.

I started my week with a 5 day stay in Toronto. As I was getting in my car, I commented to my mum that I was going to be out for my Birthday, and if anyone called, I had defected to Canada for the week. Pulling away from the driveway, I screamed out my window "POLITICAL ASYLUM FOR THE WIN!" She immediately came over, pointed her finger in my face, and told me "YOU BETTER NOT BE A SMART ASS AT CUSTOMS!".

She had a point. I have always had... problems... when it comes to customs and homeland security. I respect their job, not how they do it. Look, when you have 8 BOOKED international flights letting out, you don't have 1 guy checking customs tickets. You just don't do it. And I tend to be the person who gets a tad bit upset when traveling for more than an hour. Which kinda sucks, considering the flight from Detroit to Japan is about 13 hours. But I digress. I just don't suffer stupidity well. Being surrounded by it, it just wears on me.  Which is why me, and the Obama administration, just... cannot coexist.

Lets start with the socialist movement, shall we? Obama has done nothing but attack the shit that makes America America. I mean, who has ever heard of Government taking control of companies, deciding who gets paid what, and firing people they dun like? Hmmmm Soviet Russia comes to mind XP And if I remember  correctly, that shit collapsed. 

I am not trying to condone what has gone on in the economic market as of late. I mean, come on people. This happened because assholes were buying 1 Million Dollar homes on a 205,000$ home income.  I don't know who the fuck is more stupid... the people who got these loans and mortgages without being able to pay it, or the banks who fucking gave it to them, thinking they could make a quick buck.  And, if you noticed in the news today, one of the people who bought a 2 million home and was foreclosed cause they couldn't pay fuck all of their loans, trashed the home.  No.  You fucked up. You deserve to lose your home. I am pissed that in this stimulus package,  we are basically buying these houses for these people. No. You can only afford a trailer home, you live in a fucking trailer home.  Foreclose on all of these mother fuckers. I cannot afford to pay off my student loans yet, but my taxes can go to paying for homes for these morons. COME ON PEOPLE!

Now, I know that somewhere, there are people who are looking at the same shit I am looking at and going "wtf? honestly, wtf?". But others are so tainted by the ideal that Obama is some sort of God. Jesus resurrected or some shit, and think he can do no wrong. 

They will be sadly disappointed.

I forsee the economic collapse of America if this continues. There will be a new super power forming.

But we have the power to change its course.

That is all.

SPECIAL POST

Oh my word. So many posts! 

Well, I have been brewing on this, and today it came to a very interesting conclusion.

It is "Coming Out Week" at UB. Basically about gay, bi, trans-gender rights and freedoms. Today there was a drag show, as is usual for UB this time of year. The interesting part was not the show, since I didn't go (I couldn't care less about what happens at UB, since I hate this school), but the interesting part was the bible thumping preachers with the police around them on the spine. Located in between the Commons and Knox, in the courtyard between Baldy and O'Brian Halls,  these 2 (a male and female holding signs about how the love of Jesus Christ turned gays  straight), screaming their preaching, while other lashed out at their closed minds and stupidity, university police standing to the side just incase. 

So why such strong feelings?

Let me clear the air first. I am a raised Roman Catholic, went to sunday school, confirmed, then decided "Fuck the church". It never held any of the answers and I found it boring. Nothing that was ever preached ever meant anything. I just did the song and dance cause my parents wanted me to. As of right now, I am an undecided, though I think every religion has it's good points.

Most of them are wrong.

I am not a gay hater, though most people seem to be. I figure, what ever makes everyone happy. The  love of my life is bi. Just ads flavor.  I do, though, think that they should be treated like human beings, and not like a disease, which is what most religions  attitude toward the whole thing. 

What I seriously have an issue with is the fact that people are allowed to protest at all, and even for something this stupid.

Lets face facts; most of the people on the face of this planet are stupid. Not only stupid, but completely moronic.  No one has any idea of what they are talking about, but they think they do. They shouldn't have a right to protest, they should have the right to shut the fuck up. Go elsewhere. No one cares about your beliefs. No one cares what you think. You arn't that important. Seriously. No one cares to see you standing there, holding your sighs, waving your bible like you have some message that matters.  You know what? It doesn't. You are simply fodder for people like me to stand there and laugh at.

And oh boy, did I laugh.

It's shit like this that makes us take a step back from humanity and wonder what the hell happened? Why can some people be caring, compassionate, AND religious, while there are people like these, who treat other human beings like dirt because they believe, from a book that was just there, that they are worthless.

And this is supposed to be a campus of higher learning.

Kinda like Michael Moore as a distinguished speaker. It just makes me shake my head.

P.S. Love me or hate me. I don't give a fuck. Agree or Disagree, Discuss. Just don't flame or tell me I am wrong. 

Cause if you look deep down, there is something here that speaks truth to someone.

October

You know, I prolly wouldn't hate it as much as I do if Buffalo was warmer.  I mean, in all reality, Buffalo is a beautiful place, if you look over things here and there and don't actually live in the city, and if you look at it from across a body of water, but it is just too damn cold here most of the year. But hey, I think we might get a fall! 

Thankfully classes and everything end by mid december, so I don't really have to drive drive to school anymore.... just work for a few weeks after I officially graduate... But you don't care about all that shit XP

But what have I really been up to? Nothing that would surprise anyone, really. Doing art, playing with my "Star Crossed Lover", and fighting the system.

But thats it for now. Been on the computer. Yes.

Ok ok

I know I know. I haven't made a decent post in months. But I do have reasons and I plan on posting them tomorrow. Right now I am in Capen Library at SUNY UB, waiting for class, and wanted to make a quick post. I have a photo or 2 I want to include in a decent post, and clearly this isn't the time, since I am on a public computer and have nothing with me. I will learn.


Please bear with me.

Dude

Sorry guys. I have been gone since March (it is July already, fucking hell). So what has Dee been up to?

More art up at http://dee-sama.deviantart.com/ . Been drawing, taking trips to a large church around here, and photographing stained glass windows in the area. I will be starting a series of prints on the website that will feature the windows from churches, and I will donate part of the proceeds to the upkeep of these. Joy, another project.

I did part of my internship over the summer. I did tutoring with this very nice and wonderful lady from Tokyo. It is nice to have more friends there when I go back.

That semester is over, thank god, and now I can kind of relax and chill over the summer, except for work, and drawing work, and Wow.

Yes, I got WoW., There goes all my time (._.)

More soon!

Of Easter, and Weather...

Happy late Easter to everyone.  As for me not posting for a while, I have been busy with school, dealing with this back ass-ward winter (it's almost fucking April and we got 7 inches last night).... And my computer was out of commission for a little bit. Woke up this past Friday to a popping sound coming from the computer. I pulled out the power cord to find out that it was /sparking/. Turned out it fried the inside power too, and that needed to be replaced. Luckily I had it back by the Tuesday night afternoon.  

Haven't been going to GEO this week, had other things to get done, except for today where I am just too lazy to run over there. Next week I will be better at this. I met with my Russian Professor for tea instead.  It is nice to do, because it is nice to have someone to talk to, and it is nice to know I have a place to go for a letter of recommendation when applying for AEON comes up. Don't get me wrong, though. I do plan on being productive this morning. I need to email the head of the Japanese Department here to ask for a tutoring position next semester. I want to help American students learn how to converse properly in Japanese. Colloquial expressions, different types of "ben", and other little nuances that could be useful. I believe that learning how to speak through dialogue checks isn't practical. It teaches you how to speak in that exact pattern, not in every day society. That may be why speaking in Japanese becomes such a tedious project for some people here. It doesn't flow like other expressions are supposed to. That is what I aim to correct. I also will email the head of the ESL department here to see if I can get an internship with them as well, helping foreign students with their English. I think these will be helpful with not only me getting my degree (which I need, apparently, before I even apply to AEON), and for the job at AEON itself.  Ah, what a pain in the ass the future can be!

Been having a problem with identity lately.  Not like someone stole my identity, but more like I have this  feeling that I don't know who I am anymore.  So many realities mixing, I worry that I am losing who I am and what I have accomplished so far as to deciding what my life will be like. I suppose everyone goes through something like this, but this is the first time for me. *sigh*

So, not much more news for now. Must wait till January to apply for AEON, which makes my Jan 10th leave date null and void.   A few more months will maybe put a strain on me, but I will do my best. 

頑張れ！
