I have a problem with my temper. When I hit puberty I started having tendencies toward rage when I get angry/frustrated. The past few years it hasnt been bad at all. No rages. No fits. No going ape.

But lately...

Ive been flying off the handle. Getting mad over nothing. Wanting to smash things/people. Sometimes smashing. Sometimes Primally screaming. Luckily the only casualty so far has been a broken keyboard (ROBERT SMASH PUNY BROKEN KEYBOARD!RAAAAAAAAA!)

I think its a side effect of being over worked and over stressed.

Ive been to see psychologists before. I dont find them very useful unless you want to have your dreams analyzed or your childhood picked apart. I dont need that. I know I had a shitty chilhood that probably turned me into a basketcase in more than one way. And I know what my dreams of being lost in a big old house, or scrambling to hold on to a high rock face are about.

What I need is a good outlet for my anger. Maybe a punching bag or something along those lines...However I have no room for a punching bag so Im looking for some suggestions on what to use to vent my anger...

Input?

Well I havent followed through with operation goldfish yet. Maybe tonight since I have some running around todo anyway.

In other news Ive been playing MAME games for the past few days. For those of you who dont know MAME stands for Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. So far Ive been playing TMNT, NBA Jams(1993 ver)and pac man/dig dug etc...

Go out and get MAME and some roms for it. Its worth it.

Remember my neighbors pool (My nieghbors have had a kiddie pool up in my back yard for about 1.5 weeks now). Well I think Im going to stop and buy some 99 cent goldfish to put in there.

Yeah thats gonna be the hieght of comedy.

:^)

No tubing over the weekend. I played paintball instead. Came away with some interesting welts Ill be able to tell stories about. A doe ran through our playing field while we were at it and I lit that thing up with about 6 shots. I know Im horrible but it was right there and I had a shot so I took it(or six).

The mosquitos were incredible, I was wearing no less 3 kinds of bug dope and one of them was 100% deet. But it didnt deter them one bit.(No pun intended...Get it mosquitos-bit hahahaha). Yeah I got mauled by those little buggers, it made me wonder what they eat when Im not around and why cant they be eating it when I AM around...

MMMM?

I think I might go tubing this weekend...

:^)

I like tubing.

Excerpt from "Slaves"

You're brought up thinking it's bad to live in any country except this one
And when you grow into a man you realize it ain't too much fun
We're a country of democracy, we're supposed to be the best on the globe
Living's expensive, it ain't too fun unless you fall in the high-class mode

Dude, what is wrong with my neighbors? For those of you who dont know I live in a duplex of which I rent half, it has a VERY small yard in the back that I share with the people in the other side of the duplex.

So what did they do yesterday? Put up one of those 2 foot high kiddie swimming pools...Great. I dont care if they want their little kids out there "swimming" the problem arises when they are too lazy to take the damn thing down. Now I have a mosquito breeding pit back there...To make matters worse they have it encircled by their candy bar/juice box garbage.

I have a screwdriver and I know how to use it to solve this problem. But I feel bad for the children. I shouldnt penalize them because their parents want a public health hazard in the back yard.

Or should I?

I saw the most smeariest piece of roadkill today. Wow was it ever splattered. I couldnt even tell what it was. Maybe it was a cat, maybe it was a racoon, maybe it was a dog...Regardless when I saw it, it looked like a smear of processed meat.

Im going for breakfast now.

Sorry for the 5 day haitus. I needed a break from more than just work. Im back now and updates will be coming daily.

In other news Brainerd Public schools suck my wang. My one kid had football camp this week(well he thought he did) and when he got to the football field at 6:30 this morning there was a sign up that they moved it to forestview middleschool (well out of his walking distance) The problem is the camp starts at 7 and I need to be getting other smaller kids ready for school at that time so I cant drop him off. The plan was he would walk (we live about 13 minutes from the high school) but with them pulling the changeroo on him hes screwed. No football camp for him.

And I want my fricken money back Brainerd Public Schools...You will pay.

My dryer quit working the other day. Like a fool I told my wife that since I was off yesterday I would fix it (it wasnt getting hot anymore). So it was about 20 minutes taking it apart and 5 minutes of me finding the problem. The power leads that went to the heating element had at some point heated up and melted the sheathing off themselves, then water corroded the wires away.(geeze dryers are dangerous electrical hazards! my dryer is even pretty newish...No one should run their dryer while they are sleeping yet I USED TO do that all the time).

But anyway.

The barrel screwed to a spinning back plate with 3 1 inch screws. The screws went into the inside of the barrel so I had to balance the barrel on my back while holding the screw, a screwdriver and a flashlight(its dark in a dryer bin). No matter what I would do the backplate would spin or the dryer bin would droop a millimeter and I would lose the screw holes in the backplate. To make matters worse you couldnt see the backplate or where the screws went in from the outside of the dryer with the bin on it.

Ugh...2 hours...There had to be a better way. So I figured out what it was. I cut a clothes hanger into 3 long pieces removed the bin enough for me to see the backplate from the outside and put the pieces of hanger through the holes and the pushed the bin back on. Removed the hanger and inserted screws one at a time. Worked like a charm. Im so proud of myself.

But my back is totally shot from holding that damned bin on it. Ugh.

I took the rest of the week off work. Im getting too burned out there lately.

Yesterday I was about to kill someone who sent me print screens of a username and asked me to do all sorts of things to that username. All the while accusing me of "dropping the ball" blah blah blah...

As it turned out the username they were talking about was already done. They had me "break" the wrong person's UN.

Yeah...they almost died.

So anyway time for a break.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

I spent about 2 hours over the weekend reading every one of the end of the world scenerios at http://www.exitmundi.nl/exitmundi.htm

I didnt know alot of them.

For instance did you know that mankind is soon to be not replacing itself with offspring? Effectively assuming the way of the dodo...

Crazy crap man...Crazy crap.

Im on call this week. I hate being on call.

And If I find the person who keeps calling for support at 6:05 AM(I always miss the call), Im gonna kill them.

This is fun

Its the latest thing:

Technostress- stress induced by computer use; symptoms include aggravation, hostility towards humans, impatience, and enervation. The problem according to experts is that humans working continuously with computers come to expect other humans and human institutions to behave like computers, providing instant response, attentiveness, and an absence of emotion. Computer-intense workers are aggravated when put on hold during phone calls and become incensed or alarmed when their PCs take a few seconds longer to perform a task. Technostress is thought to be related to high levels of job turnover in the computer industry, high levels of early retirement from computer-intense occupations, and elevated levels of drug and alcohol abuse.

Me and my eyebrow played some Tiger Woods 2005 golf last night. We had some company over for dinner and then went to the park and after that hit the green.

TW 2005 is best golf game I have ever played...You should get out and try it.

Does anyone else have out of control eyebrow growth?

I get a few hairs on both sides that grow to enormous lengths...I plucked one out on Saturday and my eyebrow has hurt ever since, it measured 5 inches!

Also I think Im the only person in the world whose eyebrows are starting to grow in circles around the underside of my eye...

Perhaps I should Nair them.

Dan Moore-

My cell battery is totally hosed.

Im gonna swap it with some unsuspecting victim today. :^)

Would you tell me if I had toothpaste on my mouth?

You know whats twisted? Laying in bed at night and thinking I could sleep alot better if I had an anxiety attack before going to sleep.

Sad.

Then Having an anxiety attack over having an anxiety attack for fun.

Sick.

I played video games with the kids just about all last night. I almost sufficated(In laughter) after telling the 13 year old he needed to get ahold of the windshield repair guy after he croaked it at battlezone.

LOL
