ROOTS, Gotta Love'em
A MESSAGE FROM THE RURAL MIDWEST........ Because of misunderstanding that frequently develop when Easterners and Californians cross states such as Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Kansas, Iowa, Missouri, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota, these states' Tourist Councils have adopted a set of information guidelines. In an effort to help outsiders understand the Midwest, the following list will be handed to each driver entering the state: 1. That farm boy standing next to the feed bin did more work before breakfast than you do all week in the gym. 2. It's called a 'gravel road.' No matter how slow you drive, you're going to get dust on your Navigator. I have a four wheel drive because I need it...not just to keep up with the neighbors. 3. We all started hunting and fishing when we were seven years old. Yeah, we saw Bambi. We got over it. 4. Any reference to "corn fed" when talking about our women will get your butt whipped ... by our women. 5. Go ahead and bring your $600 Orvis Fly Rod. Don't cry to us if a flathead catfish breaks it off at the handle. We have a name for those little trout you for -- bait. 6. Pull your pants up. You look like an idiot. 7. If that cell rings while a bunch of mallards are making their final approach, we will shoot it. You might hope you don't have it up to your ear at the time. 8. That's right. Whiskey is only two bucks. We can buy a fifth for what you pay for one drink at the airport. 9. No, there's no "Vegetarian Special" on the menu. Order steak. Order it rare. Or, you can order the Chef Salad and pick off the two pound of ham and turkey. 10. You bring Coke into my house, it better be brown, wet, and served over ice! 11. So you have a sixty-thousand dollar car you drive on weekends. We're real impressed. We have quarter of a million dollar combines that we use two weeks a year. 12. Let's get this straight. We have one stoplight in town. We stop when it's red. We may even stop when it's yellow. 13. Our women hunt, fish, and drive pickups, trucks and tractors because they want to. So, you're a feminist. Isn't that cute? 14. Yeah, we eat catfish, carp, too -- and turtle. You really want sushi and caviar? It's available at the bait shop. 15. They are pigs. That's what they smell like. Get over it. Don't like it? Interstate 70, 74, 80, and 90 go east and west. Interstates 55, 57, and 65 go north and south. Pick one and use it accordingly. 16. So every person in every pickup waves. It's called being friendly. Understand the conception. 17. The "Opener" refers to the first day of deer season. Not the Indianapolis -- 500. 18. Yeah, we have golf courses. Don't hit it in the water hazard. It spooks the fish. 19. That Police Officer who just pulled you over for driving like an idiot ...his name is "Sir" ... no matter how old he is! Now please, enjoy your visit. Just don't overdo your stay, we have corn to plant. | | Saturday, November 18th, 2006 | | 12:13 pm |

52 Hours Later
52 Hours Later.......and My work week is finally over. God I've had the week from HELL | | Wednesday, August 30th, 2006 | | 8:46 pm |
I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house, That don't bother me, I can take a few tears now and then and just let em out, I'm not afraid to cry every once in awhile, even though goin on with you gone, still upsets me, there are days every now and again, I pretend I'm ok, But that's a not what gets me What hurts the most, was being so close, and having so much to say, and watching you walk away, And never knowin', what could've been, And not seein that lovin you, is what I was tryin to do It's hard to deal with the pain of losin you everywhere I go, But I'm doin' it, It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone, Still harder, gettin up, gettin dressed, livin with this regret, But I know if I could do it over, I would trade, give away all the words that I saved in my heart that I left unspoken (Chorus) What hurts the most, is being so close, and having so much to say, and watching you walk away, And never knowin', what could've been, And not seein that lovin you, is what I was tryin to do Current Mood: Lost | | Friday, April 28th, 2006 | | 11:40 pm |
Interview with a crack monkey
2006-04-29 03:38 am UTC (link) Rules: Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me." I will respond by asking you five questions of a very intimate and creepily personal nature. Or not so creepy/personal. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the post. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions. Also, if you have five questions for me put them here and I'll get to them Questions from shadow_heart #1. Why do we do what we do? Simple Human Nature. We just can't help ourselves for most of it, I think it's 90% subconscious. #2. What was the first game you ever played? I'm gonna assume you mean rpg here, so I gotta say 2nd Ed AD&D. My step-brother and his friends tought me how to play when I was in 8th grade, and I been playing ever since. #3. Honestly I'm not really sure. There are so many things I'm not happy with my life right now I wouldn't know where to begin. In the end I have to say theres no one thing specifically I would change entirely, there are small details about a lot of things. Such as my weight, I like my size but being overweight bothers me. #4. What is your favorite band? I really don't have a stand out favorite, though I don't seem to get into it like many people we know, I really enjoy music. I can listen to anything except hardcore gangsta rap. I have a bunch of bands I really enjoy, Pink Floyd, Metallica, ACDC, The Doors, Linkin Park, etc but to me none stand above the rest. #5. What is your dream job? Ugh, I feel like i keep dodging questions here but I'm truly not. I don't have one stand out job that I would just love to do more than anything else. There are a lot of things I know I would enjoy doing, sports journalist, teaching, working on development of an rpg, graphic design, the list goes on. I guess when it comes down to it, I'm good at a great number of things, but theres nothing I see that I'm great at, I like to do a great number of things, but theres nothing I love to do more than anything else.

12 Hours in the hospital and all is well
I would like to wish a Happy Birthday to Amy Lea Orr. She was born today April 12, 2006 @ 1:08 pm. Yes folks it finally happened, my little sister had her baby today. Amy was born 7lbs 12oz and 19 1/2 in long. She has a full head of black hair ( I mean full, like over an inch long), and very large feet. She's adorable. We arrived at the hospital @ about 5:30 this morning and all went well. At about 1 we saw several people hurry into the room (taking our turn in the waiting room) and a few minutes later all was said and done and everyone was happy and healthy......well the little one wasn't what I would call happy, but they never really are at that point are they hehe. | | Friday, March 31st, 2006 | | 5:41 pm |

Life.....or something resembling it I guess
So, life for me over the last 4 months or so has been easily the most difficult time I've ever had to face, and as it stands, I'll be honest, I'm barely holding on. As most of you know Teej and I broke up about 4 months ago. Am I happy....No who knows whats gonna happen in the future, but right now I'm not happy. My mother left my step-dad of 15 years for no apparent reason, is now living with some guy who's an alcoholic, on parole and abuses her, physically and mentally. She looks absolutely horrible, she's not taking care of herself nor is she there for anyone in the family who needs her (namely my little sister, moe on that in a few) and I have good reason to believe that she's selling drugs now. This is NOT my mother, this is the exact opposite of everything I have ever seen from her and I have absolutely no idea what the hell is running through her head or what she is thinking. Nor do I have any clue as to how to help her get back on track...because she doesnt think she's off track and thinks shes fine. My 19 year old sister (barely) is pregnant with her first child and due within the next few weeks. She's still a little girl and I cant say enough how much she's not ready to be a mother yet. I've tried to help her in every way and when things get the sleightest bit tough she runs.....I don't know what to do . Work sucks, I barely made enough to get by and as of 3 months ago if not more (I honestly don't remember anymore) I had my hours cut to basically part time so now im not making enough to get by and have had to rely on Teej and even Jen to basically bail me out and keep me going. I want to find another job but have had no luck. I am worth more than the 9 an hour im making but i just cant seem to land that decent job. I don't have a license havent had one for about 6 years now and need 1800 give or take to get them back...well that isnt happening anytime soon and makes getting a better job almost impossible. I have looked into and longed to go back to school, but I cant afford it and even though I seem to qualify for grants and loans and such...it doesnt seem to be enough and then theres the issue of getting to school in the first place.....I also have no clue what I'm doing as far as applying and going through that process and frankly with everything else going on I find it very hard to get up the motivation to actually do anything about anything. Seems like everything I'm involved in is going to fail anyways so whats the point of even trying ya know....... Then theres all my other friends who have issues of their own.....I can't not listen and be there for them there are so many of you out there that are going through some difficult times with one thing or another I have to be there for them and do whatever I can to help in anyway that I can....it's what friends are for. Without the few close friends that I have I can honestly say I wouldn't have made it this far in life and I wouldn't be hanging on right now. I know I don't post here often, and people read what I do post even less, but I had to say some things, get them out and off my chest and let those who actually care know whats going on in my life right now. For as shitty as my life is right now, its still mine, one of the only things I have left anymore i guess. | | Tuesday, November 1st, 2005 | | 7:07 am |
You Are Subversion! You are systematic and secretive. Sometimes even very calculating. Most everyone trusts you but they have no idea what really goes on in your head. You are capable of being nice or mean, whatever a situation calls for. You look out for #1. What Naughty My Little Pony Are You? | | Monday, October 31st, 2005 | | 11:20 am |
Update
Ok, so I figured I would actually update here since it has been a while. Work: Work is work, some days good some days bad pay isn't enough, but this place is more flexible than any other place I've ver worked at and come january when i hope to go back to school I'll really need that. Game: game is actually fun for me again at the moment, I've gotten back Cassius (Cash) and am having a good time RPing with everyone......taking a year off dead for tax purposes really does create new experiences for a pc ya know. Family: Family stuff sucks right now.....almost every aspect of it. Only 2 good things going on with my family right now are #1 My little sister has moved up here and we're helping her get her life back together and in order. I think she's gonna turn out ok.#2 my dad. my relationship with my fater has been steadily getting better over the last year, this is good considering he and i didn't speak for abut 10 years previous. Life in general: I don't know. I just don't know. I'm going through a lot of crap with my family which is putting a lot of stress on me so I know that's obviously spilling over into other aspects of my life making things even more difficult than they already are. Maybe it's just time for me to seriously move on and accept things.....very difficult for me to say, let alone actually do, maybe it's best for everyone if I do though.....my input/influence is causing more issues for people than good so.....again I just don't know..... ok I'll shut up now | | Thursday, October 20th, 2005 | | 8:48 am |
"Leave one memory of you and me together. It doesn't matter if I know you a little or a lot, anything you remember! Next, post this in your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. Friends only post." | | Tuesday, October 11th, 2005 | | 3:01 pm |
Extremely Difficult
Your life has been 59% difficult. |
Based on your family, money, political context, and personal situation -- during the important years of your development -- it appears your life was EXTREMELY DIFFICULT. What does this mean?
Well, the "difficulty" of your life is a measure of how rough you had it. Relative to the world, you had a very, very difficult childhood. I'm not sure what "success" means to you, but whatever it is, you can achieve it. When you do, it'll be that much more impressive. |

My test tracked 1 variable How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 94% on difficult |

For all you WOW fans
WoW Rhapsody Is this the real life, Is this just RPG, Caught in a stunlock, No escape from fatality. Open your eyes, Look up to the 60's and see- I'm just a warlock, I need no sympathy, Because I'm easy come, easy kill, Little ganked, little dueled, Any way the wind blows. Momma, just killed a gnome, Put my wand against his head, Used my magic, now he's dead, Momma, I had just rolled But now I’ve gone and made the gnomes hate me- Momma (oooh), didn't mean to make you cry, Those gnome's just aggro'd us up the wall- Carry on, carry on, As if PvP doesn’t really matter. Too late, my time has come, Frost nova sends shivers down my spine, I'm taking damage over time, Goodbye, everybody, I’ve got to hearth, Gonna leave you all behind to face those mobs. Momma (oooh) I don't wanna die, Sometimes wish I’d never been horde at all! *guitar!* I see a little silhouette of a noob, It's a rogue! It's a rogue! Can you do the gank tango, Shadow bolts and lightning, very very frightening! Nerf the shamans, nerf the shamans Nerf the shamans, nerf the shamans Nerf the shamans, nerf the shamans for the win! (and rogues too!) I'm just a warlock, nobody loves me He's just a warlock, with crappy talent trees Spare him an invite to your party! Easy come, easy kill, will you let me roll Epic loot! No, we will not let you roll- let him roll! Epic loot! No, we will not let you roll- let him roll! Epic loot! No, we will not let you roll-let me roll! Will not let you roll- let me roll! Will not let you roll- let me roll! No, no, no, no, no, no, no- Momma mia, momma mia let me roll! Oh Archimonde's crazy demons aggro'd me, aggro'd me, aggro'd me! *head banging* So you think you can gank me and /spit on my eye, So you think you can vanish and leave me to die! Oh baby can't do this to me baby, Just gotta hearth out, just gotta hearth right out of here- Nothing really matters, Not in PvP, Nothing really matters, Nothing really matters, to me- Any way the wind blows... | | Wednesday, September 7th, 2005 | | 10:55 am |
Life as I know it
So I don't post on here much at all.....truth is I know that prolly only about 5 people will even stop and take a look at this. Apparently not a lot of people out there really like me too much. That's cool you don't have to like me if ya don't want to....I'm still gonna be nice and polite and such. I've been figuring out over the past couple of months where I went wrong in many cases and wether anyone believes it or not or even cares....I'm working on changing the way I am and the way I treat people. Sometimes it takes something to kick you in the teeth to realise these things...and often times when that happens it's already too late. Here's hoping it's not too late for me. the truth is, my entire life is crumbling down around me....my family is/has fallen apart....and my current "family" (friends, girlfriend, etc) is doing the same thing. I've always been the strong one...the one everyone could turn to for advice or a supportive word and such.....now I'm kind of the one who needs that and don't have anywhere to turn it seems.... I've always seemed to have the answers...if not knew where I could get them.....for once in my life....I am truly lost....I don't know were I'm going....i have no clue where I'll end up....I have no clue what's in store for me in the future......hehe I'm the "know it all" and I really just don't know. | | Thursday, September 1st, 2005 | | 1:49 pm |

 Your soul is bound to the Burning Rose: The Rapture. "I go where my heart beckons me, and I go
with my head high. But sometimes, I get a need
until I bleed so my heart swims above my
head."The Burning Rose is associated with passion, intensity, and desire. It is governed by the god Eros and its sign is The Flame, or Physical Love. As a Burning Rose, you can get lost in the moment if you let yourself. You are a very physical person, be it in relationships, work, or play. You may be driven by your hormones sometimes, but you know it's because you have to follow your instinct. What Rose Is Your Soul Bound To? brought to you by Quizilla | | Friday, August 19th, 2005 | | 12:26 pm |
