Im kinda like that when I play; im a nice person, but when im on the ice I get into it and get pretty crazy sometimes.

See...I'm not really nice after, either, but I won't really explain what I mean. Hahahaha!

Oh, I checked out that link you have with your art work. I have to say that it is quite original and the style is very developed. I think that some of your stuff is pretty fuckin sweet! Good job!

Thanks! I've learned on my own, and there's SOOO much I want to learn. But I'm learning slowly but surely. Something new with every piece.

I actually get a little carried away sometimes. Too busy. Too...much stuff. I like the simple things. And some people use textures that...just...I can't get! LOL

Anyway, thanks. :D

Hey, what is your favorite NHL team?

I don't have a favorite NHL team. I do like the Portland Winterhawks, though, just...because. I don't care about the teams. I just LOVE watching the game. I just now got cable, though, so...now I can watch more hockey!

Good job!!!

Thanks. It gets you all sorts of violent? What do you do? It sounds funny...tell me/us or we will, um, well, get upset and stuff!

Well...okay. I'm usually not violent. But I end up LOVING watching them fight, I -want- the violence, the checking, all that stuff. I also start yelling at truly stupid people in the -audience-, not just on the rink.

After the game I'm...very not violent anymore.

I did that a while back, when I still did. I don't anymore. But...the first time I tried it?

Me: Mom, I wanna talk to you. I tried weed the other night with (friend's name here.)

Mom: Did you like it?

Me: No, not really. It felt like I had two huge cottonballs in my head.

Mom: *boggles* How can you not like something like that?

Me: ...I...just ...what the hell?

Mom: You know, your dad and I got so mad at our friend Mike one time, because he wasn't inhaling the joint we were smoking, and there were 6 of us...

Dad: (who happens to be walking by, but doesn't stop) I didn't inhale it either. It tasted funny.

Mom: WHAT?? HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO US? There were SIX of us...

Me: ...uh...see ya later?

Needless to say...I realized that day that my parents were children of the 60's. Total hippies. Granted, I was in college at the time so it wasn't like I was a kid, but still. It made me laugh.

I almost forgot! Last night at my hockey game I got a goal that was schweeet! I took it from our goal line and ended up getting a breakaway...I stonned the goalie and it was purrty! Ah, I love me some hockey!

OOOOH!! You're a hockey player for real?? See, I didn't KNOW that. I'm such a sucker for hockey. It gets me all sorts of violent.

Good job!!!

Okay, so now I don't know WHAT to do.

I HATE the Marlins. HATE. With a seeeeeeething passion. They beat my Cubbies.

So I'm going to have to watch the Series and pray the Yankees knock them on their asses.

That or it's gonna be just another excuse for REAL beer instead of that lite stuff.

Ohhhhh...Booooooooob. :) Care to make a wager?

Ooooohkay. Watching it now.

Though I'd bet it's all about the Chick tract.

I believe the church is corrupt, but I also think Jack Chick is a little crazy.

Okay, so instead of just telling us for SURE...then how about a link or something? Or whatever you're using for info?

I'd love to send an email back saying, 'Hey, bitch. Thanks for the hateful mail.'

Whoever told you this is either some jerkoff fake priest, or you are thinking of some Christian demonination. There is absolutely NO fee to get out of purgatory. It just happens.

Okay, I was watching the baseball game and was in a hurry for my last post.

So. THIS IS OFF TOPIC. I might just start a topic about catholicism so we stop going off topic. But I have to answer this much.

I'll explain what EVERY OTHER CATHOLIC I know personally has explained to me. In fact, I've been living with one for three years.

Lighting candles: $0.00
Praying by yourself: $0.00
Having an entire mass said by the church on Sunday in your relative's name, to help them out of purgatory: A pretty fuckin' penny.
Heaven: priceless.

See, I'm not talking about just...praying. I'm talking about a full mass said in the name of your family member, and that's supposed to help them get out. And it is NOT free. Not by a long shot.

Now, back to the topic, please. If you want to discuss this further, make a catholicism topic so we can stop screwing with this one.

I didn't know you had AIM House...ooo...another person to add to my buddy list and bother! :p

I'd forgotten that I'd lost that PW when I was M.I.A. I updated it. I'm not BrunetteDiablo anymore. Sad, really. I liked that name.

I did a paper on this in college. About pseudohermaphroditism, about sexual assignment, and about the nature vs. nurture part of the argument.

A true story in a nutshell (if you need references, I can find them, just let the bourbon wear off): a boy, John, was circumcised after birth. The method they used ended up buring his penis off, and they decided since he was an infant, they could reassign him as a girl, and he'd be non the wiser. John became Jane, and he was miserable.

He's now a man again, dealing with a childhood of wanting to learn how to shave with his brother and father, but being forced into dresses and play with dolls. He was most definitely not a she, and it was painfully obvious by puberty. They addressed this by tell him what the issue was, and Johns Hopkins did the surgery to give him female anatomy. He's now living as a man, though, and is happier that way. Nature intended it that way, and nurturing him into womanhood didn't help whatsoever.

I also did a study on Tina, an aquaintence of mine whom I interviewed and wrote about. She was born as a pseudohermaphrodite, meaning, not with both sets of genetalia but with a -little- of both. Say, testicles and a very small penis, or a very shallow vagina and an extended clitoris. Has a lot to do with the gene makeup, but ...no. Not right now, cuz it'll totally kill my buzz.

My opinion: NO reassignment as either gender until the child has a chance to grow up and choose and be themselves. Any other way of doing it means a 50/50 chance of fucking up a life.

Haven't you heard? I AM the devil.

Not really.

I'm a little drunk, though. I hate the Yankees. But they're better than the Marlins. GAH!

Okay, so. Email me, then! I have my email on here and stuff. It occurred to me that you've never heard me sing at all. I was thinking of sending you something that was at least a -little- proof that I'm not blowing smoke up your ass.

That just cracked me up.

The words 'Pope' and 'Catholic' = Catholicism.

A valuable lesson has been learned here today.

...

As for purgatory.

Families pay to have masses said in their loved one's name, to get them OUT of purgatory.

PAY = MONEY.

At 10/16/03 08:56 PM, General_Patton wrote: Yes, and i suppose that the romans persecuted the catholics for MONETARY reasons... Oh, wait, no. Its called a goddam culture war, dumbass.

We're talking about the Vatican, the richest church in the world, losing money. We're not talking about Romans.

The catholic chruch does not want to change its traditions. Money does not enter into it.

Oh, but...see...you're wrong there. First off, they DO want to change the traditions because if they don't? They lose credibility AND money. They're even talking about letting priests get married, to cut down on the child molestation cases.

And WHY can't priests get married in the first place?

It's nothing having to do with Biblical teaching (not that the Catholic church really worries about that). It's because years ago, when the church wasn't hearly as wealthy as it is today, it wanted to be sure that when the priests died, the church was the only on inheriting all of the priest's estate, if there was one. It was a way to get money.

If religionjs worked like that, the Jains would allow their followers to own large agri-businesses, cause Food is an incredibly precious commodity in India.

Again, the post you're responding to was about Catholicism.

Hey, I bet the confuscians would take a seperation from the fervent contemplation of the spiritaul off their lists, so people could worship Conuscious as god, and they could sell lots of little statues of him, and open big churches so they could collect money.

The Vatican is the most money-hungry church in the world.

Are you familiar with the idea of purgatory? If so, then you must get where I'm going with that. They just want MONEY. And that was what the post was about!

To make it simple:

If the Vatican wanted to get more money, they could...

Let gay catholics marry.

Let gay catholics adopt children.

Church would get paid throughout the child's lifetime, and BY the child, when the parents go to purgatory.

That's what (I think) the Catholic/money thing was about.

At 10/16/03 08:32 PM, General_Patton wrote: No, i thought we were talking about religiously. A state marriage is ok. A religious marriage is not, because if their religious tradition holds they cannot get married, then they can't get married under their religion.

And who says? Who says that I fall under any religion?

I HATE religion. Hate it. It, in and of itself, with it's doctrines and rules and toxicity...it's a false idol and it spits in the face of a healthy faith.

So, MY religion doesn't tell me I can't get hooshkabooblied to a woman. All it tells me is that LOVE IS GOOD, love is correct, and I should purely. As long she and I give our lives to Christ and praise him every day, that's all we need to know. We're not hurting anyone at all. We just want to -love-.

There's so much to respond to that I just...can't. Not really, and make sense.

The point IS, General, that the definition of 'correct' differs in every single person's mind. That YOU might think 'marriage' is a bad word for it, but shit. Fine. I won't call it marriage.

I want to be able to stand, in a church with my life-partner (since WIFE isn't apparently something you like to hear out of a woman's mouth), and legally be able to say, 'Yes, I'll spend the rest of my life with you, and I love you.' I want the legality of it, and I want everyone in the world to know that she and I are joining for life in the eyes of Christ. I want to be able to have the same tax breaks, the same 'hand-fasting' (since, OMGOMGOMG, wedding is for men and women only) ceremony, in the same way, with the same honors and the same rings. I want to be able to wear a pretty 'hand-fasting' dress while she wears a tux, and have her pull a pretty lacy garter off my leg, after which I'll throw the bouquet. I want to get drunk on champagne and have an intoxicated best man (or woman) give a slurred toast. I want to be able to sign a 'hand-fasting' certificate that makes it legal in the eyes of my state, my country, to live with and enjoy the same freedoms with my life-partner that every other in-love-couple can after they sign a similar certificate.

Does that make you feel better? I didn't once call it a marriage.

Now...see...what YOU have done, General, is delve into the world of word-play. It's a way of saying, 'I'm changing the subject because I don't have a way to answer the other arguments.'

Fine, then. If all I have to do is come up with a brand new word in place of 'marriage', I'll do it. If that'll make it legal? FUCK YES! WAHHOOOO!!!

The new word for a gay 'marriage' is now, officially...

honkshabooblie.

Boston. BOSTON.

The only good thing about the Yankees is Derek Jeter, and that's only because he's hot. If he were traded, I'd be happy. Especially to the Mariners.

Let's not.

War Machine, by far, does the best animated signatures. I'm envious.

And if I ever have a sig that says 'Supreme Gamer', someone kill me? Thanks.

Alright, so I thought about it while I did the dishes. It was either this , or pimping him out.

Maybe I'll get more creative later.

Hahahahah! RIGHT ON! Okay.

Give me a bit.

House, new sig right? I like it; the faded PC symbol is schweet!

Danke! Yesh, it is a new sig. I got bored today.

ALSO! I took a look at your artwork in the general thread. VERY FUCKING NICE! I'm envious. I can draw a little, but not that well. I'm much better with photoshop than with pencil or ink.

Well. It depends. I'm imroving on photoshop. But most of the stuff I make, I don't ever submit to deviantART. I make it to use as wallpapers and stuff.

Very, very nice, indeed!

Okay, though...I haven't researched this at all, and I don't know if the USPS is really doing this, I received a very hate-filled email today from one of my close friends.

Please note that these are NOT my words, but the email I received.

REMEMBER the MUSLIM bombing of PanAm Flight 103!

REMEMBER to pass this along to every patriotic AMERICAN you know!!

This nauseated me. Seriously. I know that, logically, there's people out there who still hold the 'all or nothing' attitude when it comes to people's race, creed, religion, blah blah blah. That there are folks who still think all black people are criminals, all gays are AIDS ridden, and all Muslims are terrorists. But this sooooo drove it home, and it made me sad.

To any of our Muslim friends out there, I'm sorry something like this is being spread about you and your religion. Ignorance should be painful.

It's like allowing an open-book final in college. What the fuck?

Google is the cheater's best friend.

Ohhh, I know. There was some kid reaching for it, too. And a couple other people. And even the announcers said, 'Y'know, if I'm a fan, watching this game, I'd be reaching for the ball, too.' I -understand- why he did it.

But damned if I don't still blame him!!!

8 runs in a freakin' inning. That's just insane.
