As of today, I have had my cell phone number longer than any other phone number I’ve ever had (aside from my parents’ house) - beating out the record of my old cell number (which I had in Fresno) of 3 years, 5 months and 19 days. It is the record to beat, and probably [...]

Our loan was approved. All that’s left is the inspection (scheduled for a week from today), after which only 10 days will stand between us and our keys.
We’ll probably be moving in mid-late June, but our lease on our Matthews apt is not up until Mid-July, so I’ll be making every possible attempt at squeezing [...]

You can’t drink soda in the morning

Someday I’ll grow out of my obsession with Siouxsie and Robert Smith

Someday I’ll have to wear a tie every day

Someday I’ll have to grow up

In the real world, if you look or act wierd, you’ll never get anywhere

I’m glad I uncovered these lies before I fell for them.

Francis Fukuyama, in his book The End of History and the Last Man discussed the “Universal and Homogenous State” as that polity which existed when man had reached the end of his political-intellectual development. In Fukuyama’s thesis, this state was the capitalistic post-industrial constitutional democracy. His identification of this system as the culmination of mankind’s [...]

A good few in Washington talk about an ‘unfair advantage’ being held by the Chinese market due to ‘currency manipulation’. Like many issues in politics, using vague and sweeping terms like these guarantees they’ll be able to prove themselves right.

 
Of course, they shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. The US has a huge [...]

Can all you smarmy creepy metrosexual guys with your stupid ugly fake mohawks just die?

 
Painfully, preferably.

 
I remember back when I was hanging with the hardcore goths and a mohawk was something you had to spend a few hours working on each day, what with the hairspray and blow-dryer and bright purple dye… Now these metrosexual [...]

It’s apparently queer-boy couples’ night on HGTV. Three shows in a row featuring faggy domesticy boys (including two faggy firemen in Baltimore). Not all of them are the gross shiny annoying ones, either. Maybe David and I can get some free remodeling if we ask HGTV to visit our new house…

Geez, getting a house is a lot of work. We write our closing check today, after which we’ll be so incredibly broke. Thank gawd for that King of the Hill episode - maybe I’ll spend some time panhandling while I’m in SF next week - everyone else is doing it, and I’ll probably make more [...]

Let’s look at some of the things our wonderful congress has been spending its six-figure-salary time working on the past few days:

Make sure faggots can’t get married

Make sure those Mexicans stop taking jobs away from poor white trash

Ensure that Americans continue being the laziest linguists on Earth by encoding in law the already obvious fact [...]

Or something like that…

 
We signed about 300 different papers and got a big comfy king-sized bed delivered, then spent our first night in the big empty house.

 
 
Now I’m off to San Francisco again in 12 hours. Hopefully I’ll have some time on my hands for catching up on journals then. When I return to NC [...]

Quote of the day:

 
Mother Nature is a faghag.
A loud and gaudy old bitch.
How do I shut these fucking birds up?
I’m besieged! All these ugly bees spreading pollen from those slutty little flowers.
All those small furry creatures screwing like animals out in the open.
Disgraceful, I say.
Pave everything. Spare nothing.

America’s Demographic Future
Americans, as a group, are clamoring for more restrictive immigration laws in the US. The populist reasoning behind this is the perception that the primary immigrant class today are low-skilled Latin-American workers, and that their entry into the US is placing an unacceptable burden on the economy of this country. The rhetoric usually [...]
