Oh what has the world come to.

I often take time out of my day to read news. (Okay so I don’t do much of anything else but look on the interwebs.) But I must say something’s never cease to surprise me.


Surfing one of my favorite sites Digg.com (Kevin Rose is my hero.) I pass a news headline that I just can’t skip over, now I may be a little sick for this but I gave out a little chuckle when I first say it.

Voices made me do it, says schoolgirl who filmed herself 'trying to kill her parents'



Really?

Voices?

COME ON, you have got to be kidding!!!

But there is no kidding this girl, who was 15 at the time of the "alleged" murder attempt is really trying to convince people that "voices" in her head made her want to kill her parents. I really can't take this serious! Out pure curiosity I continue to read her side of the story. And the laughter continues....


"She described how she had asked for counseling at school when she began hearing the voice - which made derogatory remarks and said she was worthless - in Year 8 (for those that don't know this is the English equivalent to a Jr. High 7th grader), and said it sometimes manifested itself as images of dead people in her head."

Who really takes a 15 year old, one who is "hearing voices in her head" that serious. Okay, so we keep an eye on her make sure she is not doing this for attention right? But she tells the court that counselors ridiculed her and said she was worthless, well, I don't know about anybody else but when I was in school guidance counselors or even academic counselors NEVER ridiculed anyone or told anyone they were worthless. Isn't there job to make you feel better about yourself? What kind of creditability can this girl possibly have? The girl goes on to explain in court how she got the voices to stop;

"At first, she said, she managed to make it go away but she gradually had to take more extreme measures - hitting, slapping or taking a blade to herself - to make it disappear."

So she's emo, what emo kid doesn't do this to them self’s to get attention? Hell, at emo shows they sell razors at the merch tables with band logo's on them!

And this is where the story starts to make sense. Now keep in mind that A.) This is a girl we are talking about. B.) Food is brought into the equation.

"On the day of the alleged attack on her parents last February at the family home in St Neots, Cambs, the teenager was "upset" after a row with her father over the way she ate a piece of birthday cake."

Ahhh, Her dad made her feel like a porker.... I GET IT NOW! Every guy knows if you bring a girls weight into the situation you might as well strap on a saddle and try to hold on for 8 seconds. Never the less we have motive... the girl makes matters worse by videotaping the whole thing. Not just the attempt on the parents lives but all the strange things she did leading up to it.

"She set up her camera, trying to distract herself, and changed into her nightie and put on make-up, but the voice continued to jabber at her, she told the court. (some of the article has been removed from here to make this shorter)

In the video, the girl first filmed herself as she sat in her bedroom dressed in a silk nightgown and discussing what she planned to do to her parents, who were downstairs. The film then switched to the downstairs living room.

The girl's mother could be seen sitting at the computer unaware of what was about to happen. In the background, the commentary of a televised rugby match could be heard and the jury were told her father was sitting on a sofa watching the match.

As the film continued, the girl then walked up to her mother, standing directly behind her and then looping a length of cord around her neck.

At first, the mother says to her daughter "What are you doing? That is not very funny." The teenager replied "It's not meant to be funny." As the film continues, the girl is seen pulling the cord tight.

Moments later, the mother says "Then stop doing it, let go." Her daughter replied "No I am not going to let go." By now, the mother had swiveled around in her chair to face the daughter, who still had the cord tight around her neck.

The mother then says to the girl "You are strangling me" and calling her husband's name out loud she tells him "She is strangling me." The figure of the father then appears in view as he makes his way towards his wife and daughter with his back to the camera.

As he faces the girl, there is a sudden movement and he screams out "You tried to stab me! You tried to stab me!"


When I was reading this it made think, this is almost a complete copy of Halloween! For those of you who have never seen the movie (Go rent/buy the Rob Zombie version it's DAMN GOOD!) Michael Myers at a young age, maybe about the same age as this girl, gets picked on because he is a bit different. On, the night of Halloween his big sister is supposed to take him out trick or treating. Rather, the girl decided to have her boyfriend over and have sex. So, Michael goes himself and is really upset. When he returns he snaps and just kills everyone in his house, except his little sister. Like the girl in this story above, both Michael Myers and her share a lot of the problems... only exception is Michael Myers is actually a psycho! This little girl, as demented as she is was just looking for attention... and now she has it.

I think this is really the first time I am lost for words... Attention is easy to get. Be silly, say stupid things, be annoying, I DONT KNOW. But when you plan out an entire murder AND THEN VIDEO TAPE IT, you are just plain stupid.

Maybe the parents are to blame here. I usually try to keep this light but the more I think about it the more I want to get angry. Too often are Movies, Music, Video games are to blame for situations like this and never the parents taking their little girl, the one they choose to make, out to dinner, or out to a movie, OR EVEN JUST SAY I LOVE YOU. It is not hard to give people the attention they need. More attention the better. At least you know what you kids are into.

Where the wild things are.

So I am a gamer....

Often "gamer" is confused with nerd, dork, loser, someone who is generally anti-social, and my absolute favorite stereotype and I quote,"ZOMG, you are sucha dick man, are you gay? you must have never of seen a pussy before FAGOT."

Now aside from the 12 year old, lack of witty comment guy. I really don't care what other things I am referred to as. Just for the record though, I really thought it was funny that a 12 year old who I know for a fact is still a virgin, would ever tell me that I am "gay." But the fun thing about things game is people like that. I really wish i saved some of the conversations i have in game. I think this would be a really really fun thing to post about. But on this occasion I didn't.

Back on track though. I would like to stand up for all gamers. Yes, we display rather anti-social behavior. Let's face it though, the sun scares us! If we are out in the sun for more the 13.45 seconds we melt and we die. when a gamer dies and angel loses it's wing. (sad I know I almost tear up when I learned the horrible new as well.) But never the less almost all the stereotyping is right and well that fine by me. I actually love it. It is who I am.

And this is where it becomes REALLY taboo.

I was reading up on some of the "news" ( I use the quotes because the new we get is certainly biased and edited to see on view point.) from the past. And I was surprised to see how many times Music and Video Games are promoting violence. With that statement said I say to all the overly conservative mothers GO FUCK YOUR SELF. Now I understand that that language is uncalled for and crude and generally lacks humor in all ways. But I can not take it ANYMORE! I don't know how many more times I can sit here and listen to Mom's cry about how this video game changed my sons life and now he is a killer. If you honestly think you sons behavior has nothing to do with you. Then please stop reading here, go in to you perfectly arranged kitchen, grab a spoon, preferably a small one, and start stabbing your self in the ear.

If your child is killing some on its might be something you might have missed. I am not a psychologist so I will not try to explain why I think it happens but, I don't think a game is going to make me or my kids pick up a gun and kill someone because they know that is wrong. (not that i have kids but they would know.)

When Stupid People Attack.... we will call this one GOT W

So here I am.

I was looking for a topic to write about in the last few days. And well I FOUND A GOLD MINE!

This guy I didn't actually find someone showed me this profile. I am not really one to lurk profiles. And if you have read my post prior you know I will not disclose his name here. But If you email me at JJLBlogger@gmail.com. I will gladly give you the URL there.

We will call this worthless abortion of man GOTW.

Well At first glance it really seems that this is a common profile. But then we start to look at the blog title's. And this is where life gets AWESOME!! Let's take a look at the one entitled "Understanding Commitment." Before we rip this to shreds, let's bring to light the fact that under about me. "In a long term engagement so that I don't fuck up for the third time." I don't know about you but this is screaming "HEY I TALK OUT OF MY ASS!" On to the blog entry... Like me he never names anyone. But you can just tell he is really trying hard to make someone feel really bad about them self's. In this the whole blog he also touches on the subject of people not avoiding there duty to go over seas and fight the "war." Little does this cum stain know, people have been avoiding war FOREVER. How many times have we heard about people who are called "draft dodgers" or people running to Canada to not go to Iraq.

So on top of the complete and total LACK of credibility, this guy is totally a moron! I can't really talk any more about this guy because I really am just frustrated with the lack of intelligence this person has.

I have come to a horrible realization, that I am social to just become pissed of at their lack of intelligence.

Case in point -

I have a 7 11 right next to the place I live. I went there to get my daily Vitamin water and Candy bar. As I was perusing the candy isle, I see this 1909 Chevy truck with a full red neck family on the bench seat. As they all pile out, I get the rather awesome idea to strike up a little passing by conversation. I have no idea how in like three seconds of talking we he felt the need to tell me he is on probation.... why in all things holy would you tell me this? I didn't not need to know this. But yet he needed to prove how much of a red neck he really was. I can see by the lack of teeth and the 10 people in the truck who piled out to let you put three dollars of gas in.

For the life of me I can't figure out how people think it is okay to be break every social acceptable rule there is. I pushed social acceptability when I was in high school. I have tattoo's and stretched ears and the like. But those have become socially acceptable (well more so then being a dirty redneck.) The redneck look and attitude has never caught on and will never catch on.

I can tell that this is going to turn into a rant that is going to unreadable and hard to understand so this is where I call it a good night.

Fun Fridays....... WTF

As if our week didn't already drag by.... So I guess some no talent ass clown with there head so far up someone else's ass they practically think for each other, thought that if we make people do some stupid shit that NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD WANT TO DO it would be a fun Friday. WELL, have I got some news for you. YOU'RE ADOPTED GO KILL YOUR SELF. Oh, and you touch your self at night and that is why, my dear friend, no one likes you! This is why people come to work and kill each other.... I don't know how many people just want to go to work, get what they need done and then go home, kick the dog in the nuts (I DO NOT CONDONE ANIMAL CRUELTY, it's a figure of speech. If you thought that i would really do that, then go in the kitchen get 2 spoons AND REMOVE YOUR EYES), and kiss the wife/husband/girlfriend/mommy/daddy whatever is waiting for you at the end of the day. But no I am in the Air Force it's just not that easy. Instead of going home I am forced into 3 miles runs, mind you NO ONE DOES THIS FOR FUN, so please, for all that is sane in the world STOP CALLING IT A FUN RUN, call what it is. CRUEL AND UNUSUAL TORTURE specially since everyone here is fat and out of shape. We here in this lovely place do nothing but sit at desks.... we are the corporate Air Force. So how, in your right mind, could possibly think that we can run 3 miles and still remain breathing? I imagine that you are just retarded and should wear a bright shiny orange and yellow helmet, so we know who you are.

I don't understand why people can be so special. It's is really not hard to make your people in the work area happy. Let's start by not having them do something they really don't want to. I can pass my fitness test. NEVER ONCE have I failed the test. Why is it i am forced into doing something like run for no reason. If i want to run I will. If for some reason I feel that I cannot pass that damn test, I will run. I think that's the end.


On to something more interesting.

I am, by no means a person who likes to read and hear about pop culture. I listen to talk radio (Bob and Tom in the morning and that's about it,) this morning I heard, what might be the best news EVER. Everything I have ever said about Britney Spears IS TRUE. She is absolutely INSANE. Let's look at the facts shall we. At a very young age she was thrown into "fame," not sure in the Micky Mouse club counts and being famous but she is on TV. Then nature plays its role and BANG!! TIT'S AND ASS. Oh, and if you process her voice she starts to sound like she can sing. So then the big fame starts. And she handles it well. But then then it gets to be too much and guess what we got our self's a moron with KIDS. If anything she should just stop for damn kids. It's not like she needs money. She needs attention.

I SAY FUCK YOU SPEARS. you're the biggest moron on the face of the planet (besides rednecks.....) and you need to realize you are no longer a damn kid. YOU ARE A MOM.


I don't want to stay on that topic to long.

I hate people.

Another Exciting day at work.

I was late today... But no one cares, I might have been able to not show up and gotten away with it. Ahhh the US Air Force.... Gotta love the slack asses I work for. I walked in an hour after i was supposed to be here and well its just hey, how are you. Maybe I should make more of an effort to show that I care... but I really don't.

So, now I sit here and what do i do? Well, the answer is simple look like I am busy. I will most likely read on of the funniest blogs I have ever seen. This guy has go to be the most fun to be around. He reminds me of a friend that I used to work with. We will call him Sammy. (I stray away from real names only because I will usually not ask permission to use them and well I don't want any legal problems.) Sammy and I used to get into these awesome rants about what we think should be different here at work, out in the world of lies, general World of Warcraft stuff, and just useless information about crap from wiki-whatever. Although this guy doesn't rant about things he does. He thinks up things on the spot that are just pee your pants funny, how he is getting away with treating people like this in a professional atmosphere is beyond me. From what I have read this guy is a cab dispatcher and he gets some really big assholes or just generally stupid people. He makes sure that they get what is coming to them. So read and enjoy that.

Blank Top

Although I don't remember who it was on the Cad Forums that introduced me to this but THANK YOU!!!!!

I hope that his blog doesn't detract from mine... although his is just damn funny. He is also up for the blogger Choice award for best humor. So good luck to him and I really hope he wins.

I really have no idea what direction I am going to take this blog. I have my wants and interests and well like every other lame blog out there, I want to be slightly different. Not outrageously different just a little something that can catch the attention of others. And so this might be the direction i am taking it.

I want the strangest stories, web sites, conspiracy stories, just about anything. I think the whole goal with this is just to have a ton of fun and well I like finding strange things that are entertaining on the web.

And that is why I linked to that guys blog. It's off the wall and just a good thing that entertained me for about 2 days.

And this be the first one.

... So here I am. Amongst the millions of other blogs in the world. So, let me make empty promise about how great this site is going to be and much I am going to up date it.

I guess since this is the first one I should take the time to tell all my readers ( Fan base = 0 At the current moment :( ) a bit about my self.

I am Kevin. I am current active duty Air Force, E - 4 Satellite System Operator. Now I know what some are thinking "oh great another left/ right wing radical that's wants to change the world with a blog entry." I only think this because, it just popped in my head as i was saying what i do for a living. And well Lad and Ladies, I really hate to burst your bubble. Somethings, here I'm the blog may be off the wall radical. But I do not like politics and I know little about for the same reason. I wanted a blog because honestly I am bored at work. And yes your tax dollars are helping write this blog. How excited are you? I KNOW I AM. Anyway back to me. I like me so we can go on this topic for a while. I am really big fan of the world around me in the likes of Photography, Technology, and (well not so much the world around me here) Gaming. I have started taking classes (and by started i mean, like last summer) in computer science. I am most likely going to change that to Game creation. Let me take a second and explain what I mean by that. I live in Colorado Springs, so the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs has a degree we call a BI (bachelors of Innovation. It's really a BS.) This degree relates to Game Design and application. So soon i am going to try to get that and get into the gaming world. Alright, now we are all the same page. I am huge gaming fan. I love all kinds of games from Side scrolling Mario Bros. to World of Warcraft. You might see a few entries about those games and my experience with them.

Other then my huge gaming love I talk allot about Technology, Cars and well general life. So, think of this blog a game/tech review with some more thrown in to the big bonn fire we call life.

I want everyone to know that I do reserve the right to flame, offend, or other wise just be a pain in the ass to whom ever i feel is deserving of this. On the other hand, please for the love of god comment on the things you feel you need to. You have a keyboard and mind. USE THEM.

Well, I hope i get a fan base of people that like what I have to say and/or want to say what they have on their minds.
