The stuff about me and my life. The “diary” side of blogging.

‘toons and Tunes

by

Happy May Day! Only two more days ’till I turn 28…not that I’m keeping track of this for any real reason or anything. Just thought I’d mention it.

My friend Kirsten introduced me to some web-based comic strips I hadn’t found yet, and I’ve added links to them under the “Places to go…” heading over in the right column. They’re both wonderfully twisted stuff — Drinky Drink and The Parking Lot is Full. Just a quick warning — the Parking Lot comic, while I find it funny, has a tendency to be one of the more bizarrely offensive strips I’ve found yet…be warned! And lastly, though I’m probably not going to add this as a permanent link, you really should go check out MC Hawking’s Crib and download the .mp3 file for “Entropy”. Just trust me. You should.

Tired, but had fun

by

Got a call from the owner of the club I’m working at right now, Studio 99, that told me that as there was a rave tonight, they weren’t going to open and try to compete. Understandable, as the raves have a tendency to steal all of our crowd from us…but something of a bummer. However, it did give me a chance to go out with some of the Yahoo! Chat friends I’ve made. We started with a BBQ, then went out to the Last Frontier. Was a good night, overall.

I’m a furry dildo?

by

Okay…this is hilarious. I went to SparkMatch and took their test, and — well, after all’s said and done, I’m a Furry Dildo, also known as a Dependent Evil Sex Provider. Hmm. Here’s what they say about me:

The ultimate sexual contradiction. You’re quite dirty, and very into carnal excavation, but you also have a soft romantic side. And, honestly, THAT side is itself conflicted — you’re needy and giving at the same time. It’s like you need to need to give to need. What’s that all about?

I admire the unscalable heights of your lust; I myself wish I had a height that size, but all the same, you don’t seem to be using that lust wisely. A more moral and independent person would be having mind-blowing sex with the woman I love right now. Instead, your physical potential is hindered by two things: an innate desire to do what you’re not supposed to, and this strange clinginess that you seem to mistake as heartfelt romance. Come off it.

I like that you seem to have a sensitive side, but be sincere about it. For instance, don’t tell some girl you like ponies, if really you don’t like ponies. Admit who you are, a horny guy, and the good qualities you have — devotion, compassion, and nutrition — will have real value.

So, that’s what SparkMatch has to say about my romantic tendencies. Interesting — very interesting….

I’m a Mastermind

by

At the recommendation of Jaime, I just took The Spark‘s personality test — and according to them, I’m an S.I.A.T. Mastermind (Submissive Introvert Abstract Thinker). Pretty nifty, huh? Here’s what that means: according to them…

Like just 9% of the population you are a MASTERMIND (SIAT). You can be silent and withdrawn, but behind your reserved exterior lies an active mind that allows you to analyze situations and come up with creative, unexpected solutions. Normal people call this “scheming.” Don’t learn German.

Anyway, your sense of style and originality are your strengths, and people will respect your judgment once they get to know you. If you learn to be a little more personable, you could be a great leader — you’ve definitely got the “vision” thing down. Just make sure all the plotting you do behind those eyes of yours is healthy.

Famous masterminds in television: Dr. Claw, The Scarecrow and Mrs. King, Montgomery Burns.

Those of you who know me at all can make your own judgements as to how accurate they are — as for me, I’m pretty amused.

Fairbanks bound

by

Well, I went and got a wild hair up my butt and decided to head up to Fairbanks for a weekend to goof off, visit my brother, and meet up with some friends. Should be fun…so, in about a month (the weekend of May 18th – 20th), I’ll be heading north for some playtime…woohoo!

Stolen van!

by

My parents had their van stolen Wednesday night. If anyone who sees this could keep their eyes open, and, if you’re lucky enough to see it, give a call to the police, it would be greatly appreciated.

At the time of the theft, the van was a teal (bluish green) 2000 Mazda MPV LX with the licence HAK 342. It could be anywhere — abandoned on a street or road, in a used car lot, in a parking lot, etc. Licence plates can be switched, of course. Important — if anyone sees it, they should not do anything but call the police.

Thanks for any help you can be — because of the backlog of cases, APD may not be able to get to this for 1-2 weeks.

About my tattoo

by

My tattooThis actually came about from an e-mail I was writing tonight, and I thought it was a bit too good to lose into the great bit bucket in the sky.

The meaning behind it…well, it’s kind of my life view. I’ve always liked the concept of the yin-yang — that in life there is always light and dark, good and bad, and they’re intertwined and essential to each other, you can’t have one without the other, and if you did, then it would render it meaningless without the other as a comparison.

My tattooBut when I found the design with the smileys integrated into it, it really struck a chord with me, in that much of my outlook on life is that no matter what happens to me, good or bad, there will always be something to balance it, and when things do get bad, one, they’ll get better at some point, and two, there is always something to laugh at or smile about in whatever’s going on in order to help me make it through it. I’ve seen lots of people get amazingly depressed over some stuff that, while it may seem mindblowing at first, always has some benefit to it. I guess it’s kind of related to two overused sayings — “For every cloud there is a silver lining”, and Nietzche’s (sp?) “What does not kill me makes me stronger”, but it’s not really either of those through and through…just something that means a lot to me.
