I think I'll write in this thing again. If only to be retro. Screw myspace. |

Fantasy, vs. the reality of it all:
Thinking about updating more often. I mean, I've had this journal for FIVE YEARS now. Happy birthday, my journal. October 10th, 2000 was when I created you, and it was a laborious birth. I've neglected you, and as a father - I should not be so forgetful. |

| Still in pain... |
[May. 10th, 2005|04:36 am] |
I'm going to see the dentist again today. I'm still swollen from oral surgery on friday. there's still some bleeding in the back right area of my mouth. It's awesome. (no it isn't.) So what do I do while I'm still in pain even though I'm on vicodin? I went and started to try to dig up some old cartoon/muppet footage. I unearthed (with the help of an internet friend of mine) some teeny little super guy footage. If you watched sesame street as a child you might remember him. There's even an LJ community dedicated to him:
http://www.livejournal.com/~tlsg
The most recent post should be mine, if you're reading this post in a timely manner, and you'll see the link to download the 10meg video. It's 4:30am, I suppose I should at least toss and turn in bed.
edit: I swear to god my journal feels like a dinosaur... I clicked random journals and the first thirty I clicked on were friends only. Livejournal is starting to feel like a gated community. |

Just thought I'd let everyone know I'm alive. I had two wisdom teeth removed today, I'm on vicodin... lots of fun. More later when I'm not nauseous. |

So this weekend was sort of a repreive with very little pain, but...
OH MY DEAR FREAKING LORD AND ALL THAT IS HOLY I HAVE THE WORST MIGRANE HEADACHE EVER. >:(
I've been having the worst pain in my life for the past few weeks and I wasn't sure what was bringing it on. I went to the doctor and he prescribed me some medication called Indomethecin (I believe) that was supposed to help, calling my migranes "normal" for someone my age (25) and that they should be headed off with that medication. Unfortunately I now know the cause of my migranes and it isn't normal. In November of last year, I had what was until now the worst pain ever. It was in my mouth. It was infected wisdom teeth. I went to the emergency room, got told it was my wisdom teeth, and was perscribed vicodin and penicillin and told to get them removed as soon as possible. Unfortunately for me, I was stupid and once the pain went away by using the penicillin, I figured that was all I'd need to do and I could give a big screw you to the dental agencies that kept trying to screw me over. But no... Now here I am with this migrane friggin headache caused by my stupidly still in my mouth wisdom teeth. It hurts. It hurts bad. Oh god I need these teeth removed. I begin my attempt today to try to see the main dentist who is part of my "dental plan" whose receptionist basically pissed on me by telling me false things about my health insurance overriding my state dental insurance and whatnot. Hopefully I can get an emergency visit as I haven't had a good nights rest in about two weeks now.
I hate this. |

Did you hear the news story about the kid that killed 9 people in the school shooting rampage? Turns out he made flash animations:
http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/195194
Not many people know about it at the moment, but once this link gets bantered around, you can bet the views will jump from 2,000 to 100,000... Pretty insane. Read the comments from when he was still alive... his responses to some of the comments are eerie. |

Well, they finally found Rob. I read the article and whenever they say "man" I -- well, you know... he was a kid. Just feels so weird. Also, the article calls him "quiet" but, as we all know, people are only considered "quiet" if you don't really know them... On the one hand, I'm glad there's some sort of conclusion, on the other there was still some glimmer of hope.
Rest in Peace, Rob. |

I don't know how many of you know of Bit Torrent, but if you're a person who downloads files, you need to learn of it's existance.
First things first: Get the program "Bit Tornado" (bittornado.com) since the original "Bit Torrent" client sucks. :) Install it. Then you should be able to click on torrent links in any web browser and it'll start the download for you.
Next: Download away. I just uploaded season one of the muppet show to www.myspleen.net (you need to register for an account there... but a lot of torrent sites like tvtorrents.net and suprnova.org don't require registration.) I'm in the process of uploading season two. :) They've never made the entire seasons of the show available on DVD... I think they don't see the profitablity in it.
Also, anyone who likes horror movies, and I'm looking specifically at you rasp_utin, should sign up at http://crazymazey.kicks-ass.org -- you need to make one post before you can download there... but the place rocks my face.
That's all I've been doing lately. Writing and downloading stuff for inspiration. Such a novel thing. If you go to crazy mazey's, you can download Jim Henson's "The Storyteller" (another thing I uploaded. ;)) I love the internet. |

| Robert Anthony Fischer still missing... |
[Sep. 21st, 2004|12:22 pm] |
Here's an update on my friend Rob (about two posts down) who has been missing for a month now.
I heard on the radio (for anyone who lives in Boston, it's 96.9 FM on the dial - they do the news on the hour every hour... so, I don't know how many times they'll mention it...) finally a notice about his disappearance. The police from his town are still looking for him. The information they gave was that he went out for a bike ride and was never heard from since. He still has paychecks from work that have gone uncashed. There's no activity on his bank account since. I also heard from a friend that he was mentioned on the channel 7 news last night. I can't find any mention of him on any of the news websites, however.
So... I don't know what I'm thinking. |

| The Wonderful World of the Workplace |
[Sep. 9th, 2004|12:28 pm] |
One of the many people who we call a "boss" called us into the office today (us being me and my two coworkers.) He was on a tirade about how we "have to stop acting like children" and how "the lateness has to stop, being at the door two minutes before it's time to leave has to stop." This that and the other thing. Then he drops a whopper: "No more laughing."
What?
Laughing?
Against the rules?
Where the hell do I find myself working all of a sudden? Communist Russia? All right, first of all being late to work... I can see where he's coming from. But you have to be flexible some times. I offer to work through 15 minute breaks to make up for being three minutes late and "that just doesn't cut it" with them. They'd benefit from that. Being at the door "two minutes before it's time to leave" -- I don't do this, the other two guys do... however... this is the same boss who is supposed to say "You can leave now" to us at 5, but on Tuesday, he left 10 minutes early without telling anyone. He does this at least two times a week. If you're going to make a rule, you OF ALL PEOPLE should follow it. Right?
And the new laughing rule? I told him laughing is a human reaction to your surroundings. I said I'd laugh at the thought of him trying to put that in a disiplinary report. Laughing. I said "What's next? A ban on sneezing? God forbid I should catch an errant dust cloud with my nose and accidentally sneeze!"
What a joke. |

| An update of sorts... |
[Sep. 8th, 2004|12:48 pm] |
Well, we're going out Saturday (Sarah, Rebecca, myself, Michelle) to search for Rob in his hometown, we'll also be putting up flyers (I assume.) Hopefully that will yield some results.
On the lighter side of things, in someone else's journal I saw an entry that said "How did everyone find my journal? Even if you think I remember how you found my journal, respond with how you did anyway." So, if anyone actually reads this entry, respond with the answer to that question. :) |

MISSING
</center>
This above pictured is a friend of mine, Robert Anthony Fischer Jr., ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) mutehalo on livejournal. He has not been heard from by his family or his friends since last week Sunday at 4pm.
He's a really awesome person and I just want him to be found and everything to be OK.
The vitals (these are from my friend panda_cookie's journal): He's about 5'10, he weighs around 140, his hair is brown and is chin-length, and he has brown eyes.
Who to contact if you see him: His family is logged on under his screen name, which is "mutehalo", or you could email vinylinmono@gmail.com, or call 1(781)751-9300, or even the local police department, as the police in his city are looking for him.
That's all the information I have. I hope he gets found soon, and I hope all is well. |

| If George Bush gets re-elected... |
[Aug. 2nd, 2004|07:25 am] |
I had a dream tonight. It was... odd... to say the least. But in the dream, I had a few prophecies about the future. Not that I believe in prophecies. One of the things I did in the dream, however, was to search google for the phrase "If George Bush gets re-elected" - the following are the results from random sites, and I stress that they are not necessarily my views:
From a Gay Alliance website: The thinly disguised pandering by the Bush administration to the drug lobbyists is just payback for soft monies that have been supporting the political lives of those who now have profitable jobs in the federal government. Do you think prescription drugs are expensive now? Chances are, if George Bush gets re-elected, you will be paying a hell of a lot more in the near future.
From a union workers website: Delegates cheered as Congressman Dick Gephardt (D-Missouri) entered the Hyatt Regency Ballroom to accept the union’s endorsement of Senator John Kerry’s Presidential campaign from President Edwin D. Hill. Gephardt said: "I’ve served under five Presidents. This one is by far the worst... It makes my blood boil that they can hand out tax cuts to their friends, but they can’t get health care. John Kerry will get the job done." IBEW delegates rose to their feet when Gephardt addressed the administration’s union-busting policies. He said: "The reason we have a middle class is because of organized labor...the lust for profit is driving wages down and killing unions. Give labor its place at the table! We need card check neutrality, labor law reform, a level playing field. Make no mistake about it. If George Bush gets re-elected, he will drive for federal right-to-work legislation. Every labor union man and woman needs to get out and vote. If they do, we win."
From the LAS VEGAS SUN: It's obvious to us that if George Bush gets re-elected, his plans to build a nuclear waste dump in Nevada will accelerate no matter how much information continues to come out about how unsafe it would be to do so.
From a RadioFarda.com article: He adds that the US may not participate in any Israeli attack on Iran's nuclear sites, but if George Bush gets re-elected, then an attack on Iran's nuclear facilities would not be far-fetched.
From a student newspaper: Hillary Rodham Clinton is currently a New York senator. She would make an excellent President. It is many people's opinion that Mrs. Clinton will run in 2008, if George Bush gets re-elected. If Democratic candidate John Kerry is elected, she will most likely wait until 2012 to run. (a thought on this one: Note that the author seems to be assuming that, if John Kerry gets elected, he'll serve two four year terms, and that she'd run against John Edwards.)
Here's a good bet from the band The Carolines: If John Kerry wins the presidency, my pal has to introduce our band in his undergarments at the next show after the inauguration. If George Bush gets re-elected, I must play the entire show in my undergarments.
And an overwhelming sentiment echoed on various sites: If George Bush gets re-elected I'm moving the F%$# outta the country! (I didn't bleep the swear, they did.)
CAROL MOSELEY BRAUN (D), FORMER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: If George Bush gets re-elected,
you can about be certain that in six years Roe vs Wade will be gone.
From a Useless-Knowledge.com article: Some people fear that if George W. Bush gets re- elected, he’ll reinstate the draft.
A response from a reader to an overseas newspaper: If George Bush gets re-elected USA would, no doubt, be plunged into the darkness and world peace would remain a far cry.
So, there you have it. There's just some of the sentiment going around. I never saw anything immediately positive about George being re-elected. Is it me or is the vast majority of the internet against him? I encourage you to do a search of your own. Here are the links to the phrase searches I used. I didn't look at all the results, just the first few pages:
"If George Bush gets reelected"
"If George Bush gets re-elected"
"If George W. Bush gets reelected"
"If George W. Bush gets re-elected"
