The Bitterness Continues...

SIGH....

Full of Spite

Well...

Black Tuesday is almost here, thats right its Valentines Day

I hate...no...I loathe Valentines Day.

I believe that one of the great poets of the 80's said it best:

You love her, but she loves him

he loves somebody else -You just can't win.

And so it goes until the day you die...

One thing's for sure...

Love stinks!

Sound bitter?

I don't care...

WIRED!!!!: The Followup

So I finally got to sleep...at 5:30 am.

Around 4am the Guinness and the coffee started to fight in m stomach. Spent most of the night surfing the web and talking to my friend who is down in Antarctica over IM

at 5 am I heard a strange noise then realized it was my aunt in the next room riding her exercise bike before she went to work. Woke up at 9:45 am when my cell phone alarm wentoff so I decided to get up so I can sleep tonight.

Nothing really planned for today probably going to finish my Application for University of Cincinnati, watch some Family Guy and Futurama dvd's, do some laundry, and put together comic boards with bags.

WIRED!!!!

Ok... so I can't sleep and its all thanks to this guy...

Thats right I am riding the caffeine train. I just got in from driving all the way from Albany, NY to Cleveland, OH. I left around 5:30 PM and drove straight through only stopping for gas.

caffeine used not to bother me at all however since October 2004 I have been pretty much caffeine free (occasionally enjoy a cup of Joe or a diet coke if nothing else available). Anyway now if I have even one cup of diet coke after 6pm I am up half the night. So needing to stay up and alert on 7.5 hour drive I started preparing early today.

11:00 -Venti Caffe Mocha from Starbucks

3:30 - 20 ounce Diet Vanilla Coke

5:30 - Venti Carmel Marcharotti(or something like that) from Starbucks

7:50 - Large Marshmellow fl. Coffee from Dunkin Donuts

10:30 - Large Diet Coke

So as you can see I will probably get to sleep...oh..NEVER!!!

If it weren't so cold outside I would go run around the block a few million times.

Maybe a Guinness will help me get to sleep...

World Domination 101

Many people talk about world domination while few have actual plans for achieving this goal. I am of the later group. I have a plan and there is a 95% chance that it would work.

The plan is based on the popular perception that the current electoral system is corrupt and unjust (and the fact that people are stupid and will vote for almost anyone). The plan would eventually let me go on to rule the whole world would begin with becoming governor of California. First, after moving to California write and publish my manifesto and begin building my group of followers. I would then announce my candidacy for the governorship and say that if elected I would let the former governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, run the state. I would even give him part of my governor's pay. Granted, he's has been hugely unpopular, but the winner of the almost any election in California only gets 25% of the vote. If you add together the people who want to reelect him as governor and the people who will vote for someone they have seen in a movie divided by the ungodly number of people on the ballot it comes to at least 25%.

I could use and adapt the same strategy to run for the presidency. I'd promise that if I won, the incumbent at the time would be my chief of staff and I'd do whatever he told me to do. Voters would think, "That guy did what he said in California, and we'd like for him to have a second or even third another term, so what do we have to lose?" Then after I won, I'd move into the White House and immediately break every promise I made. People would whine and complain and the pundits on cable news would never shut up talking about the move but I would but I'd smooth it over by going on Jay Leno or David Letterman and use a joke, like "Hey, news flash, people: politicians lie! Duh!" The following day I would then declare total martial law over all territories formerly known as the United States of America and rename it something like "The Holy United Imperial Republic."

Then using the significant portion of the U.S. Armed Forces that had sworn its loyalty to me I would end the years of bipartisan inaction and gridlock with The Age of the Great Cleansing Fire. The culmination would be the burning of the Constitution, the dissolution of Congress, the establishment of "re-education" camps in WV, and the systematic displaying of the heads of those who opposed me on iron pikes around in front of national monuments.

Then I'd would start a war by ordering the army to attack France, mostly to boost my popularity, but secondly to get more cheese for me and my friends. Second would be Switzerland (for the chocolate and the fact they are "neutral") then I would work my way East to Germany where I would stop for a beer before continuing to slowly take over the world.

I know it is a grandiose plan but I believe it will work, because you have to have dreams.

The Lemming Syndrome

Ok,

So I am such a lemming. First it was getting a Blog and now it is joining MySpace. This is how exciting my life is that I do these things I guess.

So if there is a group going to jump off a bridge just let me know and I will be there.

Oh yeah, you can checkout my MySpace by clicking on the link.

I Have Issues

I have issues...Thousands of them...Over the years I have invested and acquired many issues...Oversized, regular and mini issues and they are bagged boarded and alphabetized in boxes.

that's right I collect comicbooks.

One thing I have learned from reading and collecting comics is that at anytime I can be in an accident and possibly walk away with some type of superpower. I am sure that everyone at some point in their life wished they had superpowers. We all want to see through things orto be able to crush cars with our bare hands. Why? Who knows. But once you had a few crushed cars lying around your yard, you can bet you'd come up with a use for them. Super powers are why astronauts do what they do, I'm sure of it. Out in the zero gravity of space I bet you feel superhuman.

"Look, I can lift this twelve ton satellite...with my pinkie!"

Anyway, it would be my luck that I would get some type of superpower that was really lame like the ability to add numbers in my head really quick or have enhnaced senses that only told me when items have gone bad in the fridge.
