I went to Everett yesturday, trying to find one Temp agency, can't remember the name, but the directions I got was....well, lacking on telling me exactly where this office is at. It's just in the Everett Mall area. Unfortunately, the Everett Mall area, according to the print out of the map I got is both the big indoor mall, AND the small out door mall outside. Would have been helpfull if they put a dot in which building its in.....instead of just highlighting BOTH sides on the map. I drove around the small out door mall area twice. Did not find it.....but I found the Olive Garden........ah. :-P Anyways, I was not in the mood to go into the big mall. So I decided to search through my directions of temp agencies I printed out. My next choice was probally the only one with clear directions......and a name I remember hearing before. Manpower, heh, so I went to that. That was not hard at all. Found it pretty quick. Got in there, pickedup an application, and got an appointment today around 2PM to do some test. Heh.....testing, testing, testing....I just wish I was fully alive at the moment...but meh.

I then went to the Durham School bus depot in town. I decided I am going to try applying to them again (applied with them in 2005.....got turned down). Well, I did not noticed this till an hour ago, but they want a clean driver's abstract with no tickets within the last 3 years. I got a ticket a month ago. Takes care of that. I really despise insurance companies. Really takes away giving a person a chance after one fuck up. At least for the time being......if I really want this job, I can wait 3 years.

I gave a friend in Everett a call before I picked up my ap for the School bus I just mentioned. Hehehe, decided to go visit. I forgot they have their usual ceremony on those nights. But it was cool for me to show up anyways. Hehehe, had fun passing the time in conversation and what not. I am just too simple to please at times. :-P I end up getting a chance to see how the ceremonies went. It really isn't harmful or as dramatic as some people think it is.

Well, about it. Came home, lounged for a short bit. Then went to sleep. Though I over slept again. Heh, better over rested than under rested.

So, we'll see where this goes. So far I may luck out with this temp agency, maybe not. But its a start. I also called back a trucking company I applied to last week yesterday. Apparently the guy who's taking care of my application told me he is still waiting for my drivers abstract from both Indiana and Washington state. But other than that, everything on my application checks out fine. He just wants to make sure everything I said about my driving record is up to par with what I told him. In other words, I'll be really shocked if I don't get this job. Who knows, I may be doing a part time job acting as a security guard. Or I'll be on the road again. Either way, yesterday is the first major progress I been looking for since I got back.

Oh well, about it for now. I want to pass out and go to sleep, but I'll have to leave soon. Gotta leave early just to make sure I have enough time to put some gas into the tank, then drive down south again. I had to scrounge for this gas fare........

Heh, I had fun last night. Went to visit some friends in Everett and pretty much watched the first Pirates of The Caribbean movies. Heh, gotta love those movies. Of course, of them was not into it. But that's okay, everyone have their own taste. At least he was up and about after the movies where over. He lives there, so it was no big deal that he was out of the group. That, and he has seen it more than once anyways.

Hehe, then from there, we just talked. Which was nice, and calming. And got to learn some interesting tradition. Like one guy grew up where his family would have a sausage brat cooked up and ready to eat for midnight. Odd, but it was a nice.

Either way, it was a nice, small group. And it was no wild or crazy party. Which is good. Hehehehe, I ended up spending the night there. Even though my original plan was to just head home afterwards.

Then today we just lounged around, talking a bit more. About anything, from life in general, to past subjects. I must admit, through some of the subjects, it got me thinking that it would be nice to get into an RP session again. I never sat in a game of his before. Though we have RP'ed on the same muck in the past. Heck, we where even staff for a short bit. Though that did not last long....the muck that is. Though for some reason, I am still marked as staff and I still have staff powers. But meh, I log on once and a blue moon to see what's up.

Oh well, we got a talking, and maybe once I get the job issues sorted out. I can probably start making plans on joining in on a campaign.....other than a D&D setting. Heh, and he's been dying to do something other than D&D. So as long we can stray away from that, I'll be happy to give...what ever he's got in mind a shot.

Anyways, this year is still a bit uncertain. Every year it is. There are going to be allot of unpleasant things I am going to have to do in the future that I am not looking forward too. But there are allot of good things that may just happen.

So, here is to a start of 2007. Good, bad, who knows. But I'll face it.

Hehehehehe, like the subject says. Stuff that amuses me. And so far they are work friendly. Then again, if your on FA at work......your already taking your chances. :-P

Next year I just really hope for the best.

Tomorrow I am going to be hanging out with some friends in Everett. We'll probably end up watching movies and/or playing board games. Which is okay, they got allot of movies to chose from. And the group is sane. Heh, as sane as a bunch of furries can get. Either way, its no wild party. Just the usual four of them, with me as a maybe. I been invited to a few get together since I been back. But I missed some of them since I was making time for some one else who I felt was more important. Anyways, its going to be a small group, quiet, and MAYBE some drinks. Though I don't drink, and they others in the room don't drink as much. So I won't be surprised if they pull out a bottle that's been opened up 5 months before. Heh, either way, its not a big crowd, and I know them well enough to feel comfortable. And I just want to put up with a small crowd who are laid back right now.

Anyways, Merry New Year to all. After all, the majority usually get "Merry" on the New Year's than they do on Christmas time. Either way, don't get caught on the roads New Year's Eve. :-P

Applied to some trucking companies. Applied to Comcast. Hopefully I'll hear from either one of them next week. Be nice, instead of broke. I have not paid my bills at all this month. So I am already seeing more bills come in doubled. Heh, oh well, shit happens. I'll just do my best with the situation.



Hmm, what I can say about my year? Despite living in Indiana for most of the year, I did enjoy my time there. Got to catch up with my sister and got to know my brother-in-law. I even got to enjoy living on my own for awhile. And for most of the year, I kept a decent pay check coming in. I just wish it kept going decent. Though I am glad to be back in Washington. Even though most of my friend's down here are in worse situations than me. And a friend of mine decided he's going to be my shrink even though I told him to back off. I swear, some people ASK for hell. And my parents here are in financial troubles. Its nice to be back to where I am familiar most.

So, I may not won the lotto, or have a significant other. Or anything worthy to show. I guess I can at least say I got to see the country more than I did a year before. And....well, got to the point that I know who I am, how to deal with myself. And quite frankly, at ease with myself. Yes, there's allot I want to change, yes there's certain aspects I want to improve on myself. But in the end, no one knows me more than me. And those who think they do, don't realize how much they contradict the others who think they know me more than me. All I can say is, it's my misery. Want to not be affected, don't push yourself to try and better me. Especially when there's allot that needs to be worked on within everyone else. If I ask, let me know. If I did not, don't be surprised if I get upset when you do. And don't be surprised if I end up telling you to shut the fuck up cause you did not get a fucking clue that I was bottling up all my anger from the first time I was told of my faults without asking. I may let you get away with it though if I deem you better than me.

http://www.thetruckersreport.com/he.....cker_why.shtml


Just something I found. Heh, nice answer to some of the questions I used to get sometimes while on the road.


Enjoy. :-P

Hehehehe, yep, that time of year again. So be merry and happy, damnit. :-P

Seriously though, have a good time. If your not a Christian, ignore it, and enjoy it. I already forgot what the name of the religion or tradition that the Christmas tradition originally came from. But what is practiced is not entirely made by Christians. But even so, either way, its a time of family. A time of sharing. And, well, its a time of just letting everyone you hold dear know you care. And showing you care is the main thing. Fuck the gifts. I mean, to give and receive from the bottom of your heart is good. To give and revive just because its tradition and you are EXPECTING a return after giving. Uh..........sorry, missed the point of the season.

Anyways, have a wonderful time this weekend. Heh, cause if you let the little things bother you....like Christmas trees hanging everywhere. Then, well, all I can say is, toss out your fake tree. Get a real tree, and then smell that lovely smell the fills up your house. And tell me, despite cutting a tree down, don't that smell make your winter home smell wonderful than that stupid air freshner sprays? :-P

Heh, yeah, what I just said is pointless. Have fun all. :-D

Never. Some people may wish it. But hey, what ever. :-P

I took some time out the last few days. Mainly cause I was freaking out. I am still freaking out, but not as bad as before.

Either way, I am not going back to that place (Werner). Maybe some day (yeah right). But really, hell no. Cause....well, it may be a stable job when it comes to looking "Dependable" in the work force. But as for pay check wise, nope. I'll probally be further down the creek going back to them than just staying put in my room with nothing.

Either way, I am still freaking out cause I got no money to pay my bills and the month is halfway done. But going back to that place won't change that. I'll have a job, but still be where I am currently at. Penny less.

But I will say this. I hate driving in the Northeast. BUT, if Werner treated me better, kept me running, and actually paid me the money due for the times I was down due to their equipment failing. Not not to mention had me drive long haul.....instead of shooting me the Northeast, and was very lucky to get to Indianapolis to live with my sis.....even though I live in the Pacific Northwest. WELL, if I was paid well and got to get home home more often. I would not mind it. The most money I ever made in a pay check was driving straight from Portland Oregon to Portage Wisconsin. THAT is what a long haul driver is supposed to do. NOT play games where I pick up a load in Shelbyville, Indiana. The load is due in Burnaby, BC. Yet I drop the trailer off at the Indianapolis Terminal. And I am very sure it got swapped at least 3 times on its way to Burnaby, BC.

So, either way, after typing that, it just makes me feel even more miffed and happy to ignore that existence.

Anyways, about it. No jobs on the job front yet. It's starting to really tick me off. I am flat broke, I got enough gas to make it to New Westminster, BC for Christmas, then I got enough Canadian bucks to pay for gas while up there.

Though the good part is, Mom finally broke down and gave me just enough to pay the DOL (WA DMV) to transfer my CDL over. So far the DOL's website says that I don't have to take the Federal DOT physical IF they (the idiot behind the counter) accept my current DOT Physical card. Other than that, I don't have to take any test. All I have to do is surrender my Indiana CDL. AKA, GIVE them the ID. If I want to have it hole punched and stamped, then I get to keep it. I MUST retake ALL the tests again. Heh, oh well, I'll hand it over. So far their deal is alot better than Indiana's.....especially the BMV (Indiana's DMV) in Carmel. Which is, "We have no fucking clue what to do with transfering your CDL to our state. So we'll make you do ALL the test. Only to stop you on your last test and tell you, "You only need to do two of them". Then turn around, and tell me I need to get my DOT Physical done......even though that was the 3rd time I been in there. 240 bucks later, I get told I did not have to do that either and the original copies get trashed and I get my Indiana CDL....after I THEN get told I had to surrender my WA CDL. And then 3 months later, get a letter saying my DOT physical papers are missing and I have 4 weeks to turn in the needed paper work or I LOSE my CDL. Yes, Washington state, even though not perfect, got their shit down better than Idiotanna. At least I have a clue on what to expect. I mean, shit, the BMV (Indiana once more) didn't even had a working website at the time. They had a website, just good luck finding useful information. At least here, the DOL makes it clear on their website that if I turn my CDL in, I will get my CDL here without testing. But it does not make it clear if I have to do my DOT physical or not. Though it makes it clear that I have too IF I am a new CDL driver. Alot of ifs in that.


Oh well, once I get my WA CDL, I can start looking for alot of local driving jobs. They had allot in my area last time I checked. I am not sure about now, but I am sure I'll find something. Hell, I think it would be kinda neat to get into a tow truck. Or deliver Auto parts. The Shucks down the road here was hiring for delivery driver. Not sure about now, but I can always go check.

Huge chance I'll be back in Werner. Though I am stalling again...mainly cause, well, why the hell do I want to do that again?

No work...yet.

I still have not received a court date from the Snohomish court house for the ticket I got.

I finally caught up with my old high school friend. Poor guy, his Mother already filed bankruptcy and they are going to lose the property some where near the beginning of next month. But at least I know they already have plans on where to go next. It maybe be temporary plans. But it will work for the time being. Unless, of course, they can some how pull 2500 bucks out of thin air.

Stupid tumor on the side of my face is really annoying the living daylights out of me. I think its the cold weather that's making it just itch and throb. Its not cancerous, but for the love of God, why is it marked as "Cosmetic". Really, WHAT health care in this country? No money, no operation.

I am super flat broke. So I am desperate for work. Desperate enough to go back to hell (Werner). I actually don't want to leave my house, cause I won't have any funds to fill up the tank. OH well, if it was not cold and a good distance away, I could walk. Yeah, right, walking in ditches to avoid speeding assholes, forget it. At least from here to old State RT 99. Once I get there, I got plenty of room to walk safely away from traffic.

Oh well, about it. Have a Happy Christmas all. I doubt I'll get to avoid jumping off on a bus. But I'll try, at least till after Christmas. Hell, if I could wait till after Christmas, maybe I'll finally find something. But, of course, the more I wait, the more I'll won't make anything (if anything) for the first week.

Phone is about to be disconnected. Apperently the parents have missed a couple months worth of phone bills that I was not aware of. Lovely.......

I give up. Time to go to hell. Maybe I'll get lucky and die in a blaze of glory. Pre-Hell to hell. As if freezing up in the worst winter parts of the country would be "pre-hell" enough. Either way, nothing is coming up on my end for work....even though I applied to a few things. And things are more grim in this house than they where telling me before I got here.

Either way, I am not helping sitting here. And unlike in the past when I did not have ANYTHING to fall back on. I have one.........its stupid. I don't want to do it. There's gotta be another way.

I won't know my final decision till Monday. But I got to act fast. I got bills to pay, and these guys can barely pay their own. Things I do to be in a place I want to be in. Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid...........don't patronize me. I don't need anyone else to shoot me in the foot as much as I am shooting myself.

Truth or Dare? Okay, here's the deal........ You get to ask me *THREE QUESTIONS*, no matter how crazy, inappropriate, or just random, and I promise to answer it.


I took this off....well, alot of people. So, I doubt anyone will ask me question. But for a lighter note, why not.

With my current state of mind where I just want to rip into people while also wanting to beat myself up with a sledge hammer. I removed a certain post. Usually I don't do this. But I am in no mood to try and patch things up right now.

Matter of fact, from now on, I am going to shut my mouth and just say as little and bland as possible.

Maybe that would help stop angering people and me looking like a troll.

So here's a start.

Did nothing today.

Checked job listings, sent resumes.

Later on, went to Alderwood Mall with Mother to window browse.

That's it, have a nice day.

I no longer live there, why do you mock me?


Heh, anyways, I get wakened up very early this morning by a couple of phone calls on my cell phone, asking me if I am still looking for work. Apperently the jobs I applied to late OCTOBER are finally giving me a call. Hmm....I wonder why. Either way, I can't apply to them now, I moved back home to Seattle.

Either way though, I still feel ripped off, since these jobs are in a job field I been trying to get into for years. Heh, the places that called all deal with PC mantieance. All I have to do is show up to a customer's location, see what's wrong with it, and fix it right there. ALOT better than freaking phone support. Either way......WHY NOW? Gah, I stalled for weeks before I took up my friend's offer on a plane ticket. I almost lost that oportunity to finally go home. OH well, what ever, I guess. Probally was never ment to be.

Oh well, nothing new. Went to the court house in town yesturday. Only to find out they no longer take care of setting up court dates. I have to wait for a summons in the mail. Heh, oh well, I guess things change through time. Last time I had to set a court date was 1999. And I was able to pick and chose dates. Oh well. I am just glad that the office was in the same place, as usual, with the same, upbeat, and cheery security guard. Trust me, you rather deal with a cheery security guard before you enter a government building.

OH well, about it.

http://www.rahoi.com/2006/03/may-i-.....your-order.php

Enjoy this. I thought I have bad English at times. But this is just so sad, its funny. :-P

Oh, and for those who don't know, English is the only language I know...even though I grew up overseas where most of my English teachers who happen to learned it later on in their lives. But well....there's the saying of "Blind leading the blind."


Anyways, made it home. Heh, alot of snow on the ground between White Rock BC to past Bellingham WA. But once I reached closer to Mount Vernon, I saw a good number of grass as much as I saw snow. Heh.

About it.

Well, not much for the week.

Thursday we had Thanksgiving. Sis and brother in law called up to say happy Thanksgiving. Joy.

Friday, went to Renton......Boeing surplus was closed....even though the hours say they where supposed to be opened....I guess it was Thanksgiving weekend they are closed. Got a ticket for speeding just 5 to 8 miles from the house back in Arlington. I am NOT happy with it. But hey, life still moves on.

Got up here in New Westminster, BC. Been here since Friday night to visit.

Heh, it started to snow yesturday....and its been snowing since. More than a foot of snow out there right now. Not safe to drive, especially since a little north of the border have been hit hard. Along with Bellingham, WA been hit hard.......so I'll stay safe and stay in Canada for a couple more days till the snow dies down. It won't take long. Heh, its wet snow, so once the roads heat up and melt most of the snow off the roads, I'll be safe during the day. The flip side is though....well, its wet snow. Keep compressing and packing that snow in, it will quickly ice up and be dangerous. Same goes for when the night falls......pure ice. Heh, I guess there is something I miss about dry snow. You know, where its so cold that the snow hits the ground, and can be blown away without leaving wet residue on the ground. I sorta got used to that while I was in Indianapolis.

Oh well, about it for now.

Well, not much. I been so out of it the last couple of days.

Been lounging, lazy with looking for work this week (US Thanksgiving week). And just...well, just wanting to chill.

Days went by in a blur.

Picked up MikeFurry up at the airport on Tuesday. He flew in from Chicago after enjoying a weekend at MFF.

So far he's been here since, and got to have his first US Thanksgiving with us.

Today we are slowly getting out of the door. He wants to go to the Boeing Surplus store in Renton. Heh, they sell alot of used stuff they no longer want to use. DOn't mean it would work, but they sell alot of stuff. Funiture, tools, and even PC junk. It all depends whats in there. Though it all depends if I can find the damn place. Never been there before. I toured the Everett Boeing Plant a few years ago...and not too far from it right now. And the only time I go to the Boeing Plant in Renton is when I want to go to Fry's next door. Ah, the only thing I missed about living in Indianapolis was we lived only 5 to 10 minutes from Fry's. The nearest Fry's for me here is....45 minutes to an hour. Though the Boeing Surplus is not in the same location. But not too far either.

Anyways, about it so far. Talk later.

Heh, I really don't know what to say.

I'll start off that, I think I should have learned that drama will always be the thing to interest others. I hate the type of drama that makes enemies. But that seems to be what people like most over the internet. If the mess from weeks ago was not a clue, then I am not sure what is.

Two of my favorite online comic artist/writers right now are D.C Simpson, and RHJr. I have been watching their stuff for years. Well, okay, I have not been keeping up with DC Simpson "I Drew This". Nor have I been keeping up with RH Jr.'s "Goblin Hollow" (used to be "Under the Lemon Tree").

Okay.....I did not realize how EXTREME these two are on the political spectrum.

I mean, D.C. Simpson pretty much is everything I despise out of the Left wing Liberals.

And RH Jr. represents everything I despise out of the right wing conservatives.


I can go on with the dirt I learned about DC Simpson (what little there is out there). Let alone the dirt that is very out there out for RH Jr.'s personal views off of his LJ. And as far as I can tell. There is no reasoning between the two. Nor there is no reasoning with their beliefs and world views. So trying to talk to them would some how, from the looks of things, some how go into some self righteous rant.

But I noticed lately that the two sides are not only starting to get personal and more open with their thoughts and beliefs to the point of preaching and rambling to whoever is willing to listen (and agree) with them. While shunning those who even mention a slight disagreement with them. Just....well makes me want nothing to do with them.

Though what got me CLOSE to laughing at the same time shaking my head in disbelief is these two minds a couple of days ago declared war on each other. Well, okay, RH Jr. started the whole mess, and DC is fighting back in his own, so called "non-confrontational" way.

Either way, I just don't feel safe reading the comics. And quite frankly, makes me don't want no even KNOW them.

Cause, lets face it, once you get to know and understand an artist/writer, find out the person is one huge, self-righteous jack ass. No matter how much you love stories they are dishing out, their characters, and the character mindset. You start to want to HATE it. Cause you HATE the person behind it.

I am sorry, but the last thing I want to do is HATE something cause I am annoyed with the person behind the work.

Either way, for awhile now I been sorta interested in learning the people behind the comics I read. And I am starting to learn that.....well, people are people. And so are comic artist/writers.

After getting to learn about these people......and even getting chances to read the stuff they spew out over in their own message boards. I am better off not knowing them.

So I am not going to bother learning anything about DC Simpson or RH Jr. Though I think its funny that RH Jr. is a far right Conservative...living in the eastern USA.....hence right side of the USA mainland map. Then DC Simpson is a pure left Liberal living in the Northwest USA, hence on the left side of the USA mainlands map. I am amused easily.

But really, I love Ozzy and Millie. And I love Tales of the Questor. And before I got a chance to peek into these two's psych, I was able to enjoy and emphasize what was happening in their worlds. After that peek of their psychs though, I am having a hard time just enjoying the comics. So I'll just avoid their message boards.

I'll support the comics, and I'll even buy some of their stuff (if I have the money that is).



But really, my main fear out of all this is......with these two starting to get very vocal. It would just be a matter of time till either the fans retaliate to their stupid bitchings to the point no one gives a damn about them anymore. OR, the very worst case, the artist/writer finally gets a clue that they are hated for their views, get depressed, and just cease updating the comic anymore.

Honestly, I rather not see either happen, especially the later. I would like the comic to end cause of the artist/writer feels its time to end it for any reasons OTHER than something as stupid as political beliefs. Let alone religion, creed...oh, you name it.

Oh well, what do I know?

And if, IF I ever get asked on "who do I think will win?" I'll just say, "They better start thinking of a truce, cause they'll never win. They are always going to be right in their minds, and the other will always be wrong. Losing battle." Both sides of legit theories. And they also have the most crack pot theories I ever heard. I mean, come on. For Mr. Lefty, having Democrats totally run the country don't mean we are going to see the greatest ray of sunshine anytime soon. And some of the Democrats agendas are not any better than the Republicans. As for Mr. Right (heh), just because you believe your religion is TRUTH. Don't mean it is TRUTH to all or FACTS. Hell, my ramblings are nothing more than opinion. And history is writen by the eye of the beholder at the time. And information its transfered due to time. And eventually gets garbled and none-sense like.......which you seem to comprehend very well in your stories. Either way, how is it a LIE when I am saying something I heard from the Scientist sector, when its nothing more than logical theories. OH, and just a side note people, science is JUST that. A logical explanation. Or a THEORY. Science can BS anything and everything with what they feel is logical, and they could still be wrong. Pluto may very well be a star. How would we know? Theories people. Hell, EARTH could be a star. I can't wait to hear this one.


Anyways, about all I want to say. Its just funny how getting to know a person behind something you love.....and to find they are a bunch of assholes......makes you think twice before you read it again.

All I can say is, just ignore it and enjoy what you enjoy. The only time to take it personal is if they do a DIRECT assault towards you. And I don't mean say anything bad about your religion or political ties. I mean litterally e-mailing you personally, directing all that anger and hate towards you. If that happens, well, fuck them.

Well, I am back in Washington State.

Been back since Tuesday night.

Step Dad wanted internet for a long while...but did not know how to go about it. So I researched it before I left Indianapolis, and figured cable is the way to go......since he was about to open my second phone line again and looking into dailup. I just told him to forget that and go straight to cable. It would be cheaper in the long run.....since he wants his phone line to not be tied. That, and Verizon still have not updated their phone lines out here. Still got alot of load coils out here....instead of DC centers. Load coals are supposed to cancel out all the high frequency noises to allow the low frequency noises to carry over longer distances. Used mainly for out of the area farm comunities. Well.....this part of Arlington went from farms to house farms in less than two years.....and still growing. Either way, voice carries over low frequencies, and DSL carries over high frequencies.....hence the filters on the telephones. Unless you like hearing high pitch noises, go right ahead and take those off your phones. Ah, so working for Verizon did help with me understonding some things. Either way, I DID test the phone lines to this place when I worked with Verizon last year, and the signals did not go through. It's amazing, I can be in Indianapolis, and be able to use their tools over my computer to test to see if I can get the phone number to ping with the high frequencies.......of course I could not so it meant this place still can't get it.

Long story short, only thing I can get out here other than dail up is cable. And since my sister uses cable.....I had a good clue on what to do with it. Heh, I got a newer model to their old one. OH well....yeah.

I for the life of me could not get ahold of on old High School freind since Wensday night. But I been able to get ahold and meet up with others in Everett. Hehehehe, it was a lazy, relaxing eavening at least.

Oh well, and Mother.....well, she's still as crazy and paranoid as ever. But oh well......

Oh, and only been back a couple days and already I got to work on my car. Been a long time since I worked on it. Heh,I guess the Alternator was dead since the battery was charged up by the baterry charger in the garage. And when I got back, step-Dad just put the battery back in the car. And I did notice it felt sorta week. But it was not an engine type week. More like, electrical type week. Like the car ran fine, but the power did not seem so strong. Heh, then again, its hard to tell in this car, since the dash lights was always dim...even with the dimmer dialed to high. But....well, I guess the electric windows SLOWLY moving up or down would have been a huge clue. Oh well, once we got that replaced. Everything ran fine. I am just glad the battery did not start to die till I pulled into our neighborhood. Heh.

About it, now still looking for work.



Oh, and one more thing. Gin and Chris was joking around before I left Indianapolis that I'll call back the next day, saying my plane broke down and was not able to get onto another flight. Reason for the joke is, my last Tractor kept breaking down....well, okay, and the one before that one too. Anyways, I would get dropped off at the terminal, only to find something wrong with it that needs imidiate repairs. I call them up and get a ride back home as the tractor goes through the slow list of trucks needed to be fixed.

Well, the plane was late being loaded, only to hear an anouncment, "Sorry for the delay, there is a problem with the plane, but the pilot feels its workable, so we are boarding now." Uh...okay. Well, turns out the APU (alternate power unit) was dead. It's pretty much just a huge battery. So the plane had to use power supplied by the main building to start the engines. Of course, no one understood this (me neither till that was explained to the ones who where scared out of their minds). So a small number had us held up as this was explained to them. AFTER hearing the jets finally started up and run. I mean, it was interesting, we all could hear the engines being cranked and cranked. Pretty much it was like a car trying to start with a close to dead battery. And hearing the pilot over the intercom to reminds us to remain calm. Heh.

Needless to say, I made it. And I could not help but laugh that once we landed in Phoenix (first stop before Seattle), the plane engines shut off (whice is normal once they stopped at the parkng slot) and seeing EVERYTHING but the emergency lights turn off. I mean, it was dark, dimly lit, with NO air circulation. The pilot had to yell towards the back to remind us all the remain calm as the air port is currently working on hooking the plane up with power. Heh

But I ALMOST was grounded. :-P

I am not sure what is weirder.

Looking at Google Earth and me seeing the house I am currently in from Sattalite photo's.....

Or the fact I found EVERYTHING by just remembering landmarks.

I mean, without punching in addresses. The only guides I used in helping me with for some of the locations where street names.

I found Mom's current home, our old appartment in Marysville. I could not get a close up for our old Apartment in Stanwood. But wow, its still amazes me I found it without thinking hard.

I found this place, I found Guam without thinking twice to find it. Even found the area we lived in on Saipan.

I even got a good shot of the bording School I went to in Baguio City, Philipines. This is just.....awsome. At the same time, spooky. Just imagine later on that we can get VERY upclose shots of your home. Maybe get a VERY clear view of your car's scratch over the top of the car. That would be freaky.

Oh, and I find it Freaky that I was able to make out my Step Dad's truck parked behind my Car in their drive way back in Washington. Freaky, freaky.

OH well, I am going to have fun with it. IF there was a way I can do this without an a high speed internet connection, this would have been the PERFECT (close to perfect) program for me to use when I was trucking.

Oh well.

Anyway, been packing like crazy today. Was going to drive around today, but ended up just packing and going nuts with trying to keep my bags under the weight limit and re-doing my bags over and over again. I won't go into how much I am upset with the air ports. But what ever.

Anyways, Sunday was fun. Chris's parents came over, hanged out, and we all had an early Thanksgiving. Oh well, it was neat.

And about it.

This is my last night here. It has been fun.

I'll miss everyone I got a chance to meet and know here in Indianapolis, IN. Heh, I hope I'll get to visit some day. Take care all.

I will NOT miss the BMV. I don't think anyone would miss their state DMV. :-P Oh well. But really though, the traffic here is not so bad. Even on the weekends is not horrid. Some would say traffic is bad here. But come on, NOTHING beats Seattle. Well, okay, LA beats Seattle. And nothing beats NY City. That place is horrid. But really, for those who think its bad to wait an extra 5 to 10 minutes just to merge from I-465 to I-69.....well, try comprehending living 45 minutes from Seattle....yet it takes you 2 hours to get there due to morning traffic....WITHOUT an accident. So yeah, I'll miss how little traffic is over here compared to there. And just how spread out the town is.

Oh well, good luck all.

I'll be sporatic with Internet till I get..well, internet

Well, not much new happened.

This whole week I been trying to quickly pack while seperating things I really want to ship back later. And things I am willing to give up.

On top of it all, making time to hang around with my sis, relatives, in-laws, and friends. I don't have many friends here as I do with relatives. Matter of fact, I only got two who became more than just "my sister's friends". They are friends. They are always wondering how I been. And when they found out I was leaving, they quickly made plans to meet up and say hi for one last time. So as far as I am concerned, if that don't tell me they consider me a friend of there's, then what will?

But about it. I could tell you some of the stuff that got me down and things I find hilarious that I posted on my LJ (mickstover). But I am leaving that for LJ.

I got pretty much Sunday and Monday to finish packing and enjoy my last couple of days here in Indianapolis, Indiana USA. Before I fly back to Seattle, Washington State, USA. Heh, dispite how I got misplaced here due to my last job, and how I been wanting to go home to Seattle. I did enjoy my time here and actually, wished things worked out as I was hoping for. After all, instead of fighting to go home when I should have, I decided to stay in hopes to get work. So far, I had a couple jobs, battles with the BMV (DMV), and my ever growing hate for Jack FM as they take over the nation (I mean, they eve got a station in my little town of Arlington, WA).

Well, I guess all I want to say is, I am very greatfull that my sister housed me twice. Her husband and her helped paid my bills the last few months. And I did my best to uphold my part of the keep as I lived in and out of their household. Along with a short period where I had my own place and everything. It was all too short. But I am glad I at least had that chance. And was able to catch up with my sister after years of being apart. And got a chance to know her husband and his relatives. Really, how many people can say they get along with their siblings in-laws?

Oh well, about it, tomorrow we have an early Thanksgiving dinner. Brother-in-laws parents are coming over for this too. Heh, his parents are sweet. Yeah, they may be strong Christians. And yeah.....I force myself to watch the things I say when around them. But despite that, they are really sweet people. And, well, I rather keep my opinions to myself when it comes to their beliefs and just enjoy their company. After all, they don't force me to follow their religion anyways.....as long I don't question their belief.

Bah....I'll shut up now.

Damn, I got alot to do, and its nearly the end of the week.

Oh well.....

Almost got the stuff I want to keep boxed up and stored in both the garage and the basement. I still got more to sort through and toss out.

I am slowly moving my stuff from here to another site. Not like it will be missed here since I have not hear much of yay or nay towards them. So about it. Though I am planning on leaving the commission pics I got on here till I feel the need to move them. That, and its another way I can make sure I can some how find them incase I lose them on my laptop.

You know.....I get offended about the comment about the Special Olympics.

I was in the Special Olympics when I was a child. Probally one of my favorite memories while growing up on Guam.

So those who used that as a witty way of saying all this drama is stupid. Well, how to say this nicely......oh you people can figure that out.

Oh well, nothing new, I am currently packing up here. I am amazed with how much crap I accumulated since I over stayed here in Indianapolis......well, okay, I over stayed with having my own place to live for a year. I am going to miss that.

Oh well, I am going to be giving away allot of stuff I can't just take with me and no reason too. Probally be giving my pots and pans to Goodwill.

Though I will have stuff that I plan on taking home to Washington State. Just...well, I got allot of crap. Its amazing how much I collected since I got off my semi-truck in August 2005. All I had with me when I got off of that truck was my 2 backs of clothing and my back pack. With maybe some extra truck crap. But that was it. I now have way more than that. Oh well, at least my last appartment took care of the problem of me trying to find a way to get rid of my car.....before I wanted to get rid of it.

Oh well, I am excited. Be nice to be home again.



As for what I am doing here, I am slowly working on moving too. I mean, the site is so slow due to....who knows what's going on. I am sure there is more to the lag than just some people packing up and heading elsewhere. Whee, a real move and a virtual move. What the heck?

I am not planning on leaving fully. I'll still be around to comunicate with freinds and to watch and comment on artist that I like and still around. Like I said before, the artist might not have the things I like. But if they have at least one thing I like, I will let them know I like it. I want to encourage when I can. But I am not going to go to an artist and nag them to do the things I like most. Nor am I going to kick them just because they happen to like to draw things I don't like. I am not going to do a witch hunt. And I'll give that artist a chance to explain himself/herself if he/she choses too. Just don't rub it in my face.

Besides, I want to see where FA will go. Though so far I don't like where its going. But hey, want to post what you want, great. Does that mean I'll like it? No. Would you care if I told you how I felt? Probally not, since I am no big name person. I can type what ever, and only people who are watching me will answer....if they choose to. But no random stranger out of the blue would say anything.

But as for me posting stuff, well, no ones going to miss it anyways, so I may just open up bandwidth anyways.

Take care and chill all.

For most.

I got mixed feelings for all this.

Freedom of expressions.....yay, good, good, good.

So this site want to practice its rights.

Good for it.

Some people want to practice their freedom of choice and leave.

Their choice, they choose it, they are the ones who'll live with it.

Same for those who stay.



I know this subject have been beated more times than it should. So I probally should just let it go. But the reason I am thinking about it alot is this.

There's some who made a good argument that staying may be a good thing. Cause this place needs to have those who can help thin out the other side. I hope I am making sense. I guess in order to thin out the upfront sex-a-holics, there's got to be the sober, morally correct ones around.

Though there are others who say that they have their morals to uphold. And if not that, at least their careers and public image. And that too makes sense.

Though of course, most people are after saving the ones who they deem "worthy" to stay of FA. I mean, either they draw really good art. Or if they just draw smut....or both.

IF I leave, who would give a damn, right?

But really, when I think about it, there is always some where else to be where there are like minded individuals who are willing to make compromises for some of the differences you have.

And to be honest, I have a hard time dealing with a bunch of sick freaks who care nothing about getting a quick thrill in any form they can think of. Yet for some dumb reason, I decide to try and associate with them cause they supposedly represent the "fandom". Yet the fandom is alot of things. But the main thing I find of the fandom is....well, I said this to some and I been saying this to alot of relatives here since I been in Indiana for more than a year.

I love anthropormophic art. I love the stories and the concepts that go behind it. I am fascinated with how this creature will work in the world around them. I just find it neat to see an raccoon morph getting up in the morning and doing her everyday routine. Everything from just brushing her teeth and going to work. To her interactions with freinds, co-workers, and lover. I guess you can say its sorta voyrer like. But hey, so is watching any TV show or reading a book about some person's life. Fiction or Not. Just we have an animal, insect, bird, tree.......what ever you want to morph into a human like form. Remember, Anthro is greek for Human.

It can be sexual fascination for me at times, and it can just be the norm. Either way, I did not join the furry Fandom cause of the sole reason I get sexually fascinated with a female morph of any type. No, I enjoy the stories that go behind each character, what they are doing, and what not. There's more to me than what you might find in my favorites.

I did not join the fandom cause of the blatant joy of drug use. Matter of fact, I hate drug users. You guys do your own thing, fine with me, but don't be surprise if I start getting nasty, or just avoid you cause you told me how much you like to get high after you finish wacking off to some pic. Really, I did not need to know any of that. I did not need to know you get high, and I did not need to know that pic made you explode down there.

Point of all this is, I have a hard enough time keeping my relatives from distancing themselves from me due to my asociation with this fandom. Yes, everyone but my Aunt and Dad so far know I am in this fandom. But my mother knows, step father knows, my sister knows, my brother-in-law and his younger brother knows, my best friend from high school knows along with half of his D&D group knows....

Really, alot of people who know me personally knows. And I really don't want anyone who knows me find out I am associated with a place like this. Yes, everyone has a freedom of expression. Though when it comes to something as super sesitive as child porn. Sorry, even I have to draw the line. I am actually surprised that the ban actually got lifted.

The other problem with me feeling like I should move on is I was a trucker in the past. And there's still a high chance of me going back to it. Truckers don't have the best respect out there nowadays. Especially amongst ourselves. It's already sickening enough that I have to be part of group of sick freaks who have no shame with writing shit in the bathroom stalls about how wonderfully tight a 7 year old is. Sorry, but that is just plain sick and wrong. And I already have enough trying to cope with seeing that shit and being marked as one of those sick bastards. I don't need it from this place.



Anyways, I am sure no ones going to notice if I leave. But I also wanted to say that I originally came on here cause I have a couple of friends I know personally who are on here. At first I did not join cause...well, I just believed that since I was no artist of any media (except writing....and I guess I suck since I hardly see anyone comment but from the friends I know in person), I just felt that there's no reason for me to make an account just so I can just lurk.

Well, I had a few people read my stories in the past. Though some commented to me personally. I only distributed them to some friends. Two of my friends recommended me to post them online. Though I honestly wanted to put them in a place where I felt comfortable with. That's hard to find. Seth had no idea where, though Sailor Anna mentioned here. So that's pretty much how I ended up coming on here.

Since then, I posted some of my work.....and lurked. :-P But still, I started to find the place cool, cause I was able to not only find new art that caught my eye and see new artist along with seeing the old. But it gave me a chance to comment, and even get a chance to hear a response from them. I don't know about anyone else, but I just get all giddy when I get a response from an artist. Though I do have a hard time getting myself to comment. Though I gotten gutsy lately.

So here I am, debating on what to do next, and where to go. FA will live on with or without me. Who cares, right? But I am going to sleep on it. I'll probally stay here just so I can see what's happening with some of the artist who are still on here, along with keeping in touch with freinds old and new.

I mean, I was starting to make friends with people, maybe not great friendships, but good enough. Hell, I still think fondly of Phil Fox. He really did surprise me. I thought for sure he was going to just be a troll, and instead proved he's a better man than I am. Heh, that was interesting, made me want to change a bit. At least when it came to commenting.

Anyways, I may stay or leave. Cause now I got Furaffinity who allows child porn, and that can make me look bad. And I got my career in trucking, with people who think most of the drivers are child molesters. I can't handle both. And only one generates money for me. Well, okay, I am not a trucker at this moment, but if I go back into it, it will generate A revenue. While FA, it may be free, but my net connection is not.

So, either way, I will be taking my stuff off the site.

I'll miss those who are leaving. But I won't give my good byes till I am sure what I am doing on my end.

Not like anyone but a small few care anyway.


Besides, I find its easier to make a difference OUTSIDE of a fully crowded room. And it can be any crowded room, like fur group meetings, or conventions, or even here (FA). Either way, I'll make my difference on the side lines elsewhere. But I am not going to hang around and pretend this is okay.

Well, the party was neat.

What where you expecting, an essay? :-P

Really, it was interesting. Everyone at the party thought our costume was.....weird. I mean, it only worked when my sis was in the room, then it made sense. Cause when her husband and I where split from her, everyone could tell our costume was based off of some medivel time. But they just did not make the connection with the see through red and yellow plastic wrap that it was supposed to be fire. Each of us at different times kept getting questions on, "Are you Friar Tuck, or Little John?" Heh, I just go with Little John cause...well, I am really John. :-P BUT, when we are with my sis, then everyone got the clue that, she's a dragon, and we are villagers on fire......

Oh well, other than that, it was neat, alot of live music, entertainment, and FOOD. Mmmmm, best Cajun food in town. And I mean the style of food, NOT spices. I have no idea why people associate the word Cajun with hot spices. Granted, most Cajun's I met when I was trucking, love spicy food. But there's more than just spice. And quite frankly, I can't handle hot food. Either it burns me up in the mouth, or it burns my insides, or worst yet, it burns coming out. No good, no thanks, have my share. But they served dishes that was not spicy, and was actually very good.

Anyway, we did not win the costume contest since the theme of the party was "the living dead". BUT the host loved our outfit anyways since it seemed to be made as a group between the three of us.

Oh well, about it, food, music, food, music.
