gas prices are gay
it’s just what i suspected– it’s not the cost per barrel of oil that’s causing the price of gasolne to skyrocket. it’s because the oil companies are profiteering off of american consumers’ fuel purchasing. they’ve had record profits, but think they need more oil. what makes me happier about this? the fact that the federal government, the governing body of the country, are not doing a fucking thing about forcing oil companies to stop their shit.
scientologists are crazy.
scientologists are lunatics. i was looking at this
and i’m totally flabbergasted. granted, it’s not something you learn until you’re at the upper echelon of the organization, but still! at least mormonism is partially straightforward– it’s a cult ahead of its time. it explains all the weird shit outright and people have a choice (really) to follow it or not.
that’s one of the primary reasons i hate religion. people have the ability to use their built-in bullshit detectors to decide whether they want to do something or not…somehow, the notion of humans evolving from humanesque creatures (apes/chimps/etc) is harder to believe than believing that there’s some crazy omnipotent being that watches your (and everyone elses’) every move and arranges the world accordingly..and that somehow, this crazy person/being/whatever has his own magical place in the sky for all the people “he” (not she) determines are worthy. call me crazy, but i have this tendency to believe the things that have..well..factual backing? if i look in the sky, what do i see? stars. i don’t see some crazy goon-eyed bastard staring at me telling me to do shit. stars =! crazy goon-eyed omnipotent thing. if i looked up one day and saw said crazy goon-eyed bastard, i might be willing to adjust my beliefs– but until that moment..no.
at any rate. i’m getting old. i feel old. when i think that i graduated high school 4 years ago, it makes me feel like an old fart. 4 years isn’t a long time, granted, but it’s sufficiently long to make me feel old. BLAH.
work is gay, also. in case you weren’r aware.
nuclear weapons, que no?
i love that no one seems to care that the president wants to use tactical nuclear warheads on iran because they want to develop nuclear weapons. people are so ignorant of the fact that we (the usa) are not the fucking world police. we’re not here to make international laws that we ourselves don’t keep, but expect other countries to adhere. it’s a gross double-standard; something our government has been getting increasingly better at each year. i think it may in fact be the only thing that the government doesn’t blatantly suck at.
i’m watching a show on history about the origin of the KKK. fucking crazy people. they’re just as bad as the rest of the world’s fundamentalist religious people, only more militant and more violent.
i also created a myspace page for my cat, stripey. go give him some love:
bah.
bad fucking week so far.
my mom took out her IRA, which was okay since she’s 55, but she didn’t keep enough of it to take care of the additional taxes that the government decided to levy. how did i find this out, you ask? i was doing her taxes, and the “tax due” amount hit 30,000 USD. i totally understand the use of the money paying off credit cards and shit like that, but the fact that she lent a bunch of this money to friends of hers, who have yet to pay her back, really depresses me. when i told her, the first reaction from her was that she wanted to sell the house. gg. don’t jump off the handle or anything. i’m supposed to call the IRS, but they’re useless. i’m just going to tell her that they recommended that she speak with a cpa. she said she doesn’t want to sell the house anymore, but i’m not sure if i want to stay. i’ve been helping with as much as i can, and it’s depressing that my assistance has gone…unacknowledged. i’m looking at getting an apartment in the next month or two. i might need to try to dissuade myself from doing it for the time being, but i’m not sure.
so.. apparently, the guy that the office admin got to “look at the network” decided that we didn’t need any ports open, and thusly has locked me out of the servers in the office. isn’t that cool? i called and asked about it, and the office admin had no idea what i was talking about, but she’d put in a call with with the guy to get it fixed. idiots.
