Newgrounds.com — Everything, By Everyone.

Things wouldn't feel so terrible if I could find a job.
I mean, I got a few jobs... but I'm talking the boring 8 to 5.

Without school, what else am I going to do with my time?
Twitter thumbs?

I got an English degree, but so does everyone else in California.
I thinking of applying for a Masters if I can't get the second BA.

At least it will keep me moving.

Oh wells...
Things were worse in the Depression.
Actually, I found an essay I wrote back in 1996 and I interviewed my adoptive grandma for it about her experience during the Great Depression.

I'm in the process of editing it (God, I'm embarrassed how I used to write...) and posting it up on my blog.

I'm very glad that I've kept that essay, and I was lucky that too.
It's on a 3.5 floppy disk, and I hardly see a computer with a 3.5 floppy disk drive anymore.

FYI...

I didn't purposely use a smiley con with my post, and I wouldn't post a sticky-tongue smiley-con on something that makes me down right shitty...

BUT--
maybe it's a sign from the above about how I should handle things.

That's pretty wise.

By god I think you're onto something. That's about the perfect emoticon for how you should feel about all that. Haha.

My dad is getting back to his ex-girlfriend, who did not so much dump him as simply stop responding to any attempt at contact. He drove two hours from Richmond to see her.

I love him, but I think he's an idiot. This is the second time they've broken up.

I tried to convince him to just take a detour on his way up there, stop at our house, and not keep going. I don't think it worked.

:(

However, I did laugh at the pic.

A quesadilla is kind of like a fried taco made with a flour torilla and lots of cheese. I like some diced onions, green pepper, and chicken on mine. Although there was this time where I made one just using pepperoni and american cheese, then baked it.

Sounds yummy. It's funny how we use tortilla to name something completely different, namely, a mix of eggs and potatoes fried. My grandmother makes them spanish, ie, with sausage. hmmm

Well, in germany, Nazism arise. Unless you're a conservative nutjob, then the situation in the US is much better. Here, dollars started to come in again, the Central Bank already had to intervene to keep the peso from appreciating ^_^
yay recoveries!

aw, well, maybe in order to learn he has to make the mistake on his own. Twice.

Having read just a little Marx really makes me want to hurt myself whenever I read a communism topic here.
I mean, seriously, how can you ever criticize or praise something you have not read?

Anyway. I ate empanadas. Meat and then delicias, (cheese, tomato, eggs and basil). And ice-cream for dessert! ^_^

My sister-in-law made something like that the other morning. No potatoes, but she made this big fluffy omelet with breakfast sausage, then put biscuit dough on top and sprinkled cheddar all over, then baked it. IT RAWKED.

Question; if the policy of your company is "no cellphones, no text messaging" while on the clock, you would assume that means "absolutely no cellphones or text messaging" while on the clock, right?

Some dude got fired at my work today because he was texting. Apparently it had been enough of an issue for them to warn him about it several times already, and they even gave him a final warning today wen they caught him doing it again today... then they found him in another department 20 minutes later, and fired him.

Idiots aboud.

Because surely the highly biased and politicized things I've been told all my life are true son!!! Surely ;)

I feel your pain fli. Right now I'm working at Barnes & Noble with some slim prospects for management in retail hell. I've got a few prospects as a correctional officer and maybe a full-time substitute teacher or Instructional Aid.

This economy sux.

The way I've worded it, I got it a little bit wrong.
I've been hoping to land a boring 9 to 5 job.
I don't want to leave CA, but things are a whole lot more competitive here then else where. There's TONS of requirements to be a teacher, and I've noticed it's lax elsewhere.

Before, being bilingual and having a high school diploma meant things.
But, now, it's rather common (at least, here in San Jose.)

And then, it became, "oh, you just need a BA."

And now, people set the bar up to just needing a Masters.

Heck, I can speak Italian well enough, communicate in ASL well enough... and still--
I even passed the CBEST.

I have my hours or teaching, and I think else where in the US... I would have been a teacher by now.

There's so much time I can pass doing things I like such as writing my plays, stories, and do my photo/ wedding thing, doing my theater stuff... without feeling that I'm going no where.

And without school, I will feel snagged...

My family can't even get a loan to actually make our home based photo-video business into something professional... with an actual business location, with an actual studio... and maybe with a real Hasselblad.

I've got a good friend who just recently did the same thing... only it was he who stopped responding, was busy working..yada, yada,yada. But works slowing up here for winter ( he does roofing & siding window door installations) So he's back around her again & she's taken him back, when we aked her why she was setting herself up for more heart ache...she said the sex is so god damned good I can't help myself " ! ! !

This girl & I go way back to a group of school friends , who came up through the school system together. Her & my girlfriend are very close & its a shitty position to be on the outside looking in & knowing someone you care for is getting set up again :|

All you can do is wait to be supportive when it all goes south on him... I do feel for you though.

It's snowing!!! snow snow snow snow snow snow snow snow

Wait a minute, what Latitude are you living on?

I´m roughly at 60° N, and there´s no snow up here!

I think the Swedes, those lucky bastards, might have gotten some falling frozen water, but we just get rain, rain and more rain >:(

I´m thinking Blobal Worming...

You know you´ve been playing The Elder Scrolls: Morrowind for too long, when one of three things happen:

1. Sheogorath tasks you with retrieving the Fork of Horripilation from a mad hermit near Ald Redaynia, and use it to kill a giant Bull Netch, and you aren´t at all phased by his request.

2. You find a talking Mudcrab that barters with adventurers on its pastime, and on top of this has ample supplies of gold to make good business, and you are relieved that you finally can get rid of the godly, but for your character class unusable and ridiculously heavy Daedric Axe that you picked up ages ago for a good price.

3. You saw the picture below and thought it was so amusing you decided to save it and show it to your friends.

Why walk when you can ride indeed.

Although it may be a week ago but doesn't this reminds you of "Happy Gilmore"?

I wonder how a ten foot long Alligator gets into such a place and goes unnoticed.

They're pretty common in SC. When I was stationed there my ex and I went to the outlet mall in Myrtle Beach and they had alligators swimming around the ponds behind the outlet mall.

Remember the state pretty much all swampland.

True. (My grandmother lives in North Myrtle)

Hey, we don't have that many swamps...

I have come to the conclusion that being able to do an impression is absolutely worthless unless you can do something usefull with it.

I rest my case.

According to the travel channel's msot extreme halloween the countries biggest halloween store is near me, the largest haunted attractionis near you and the most intence halloween show is near seven. I call road trip.

Hey guys.. I'm back - I was one of the forum terrors' that existed during 2003-2006. Remember -Michael-, American-Badass, and BaKsHi?

Anyways - the Canadaphobia in me has died down and I'm not going to be on here much - but I just wanted to say hi.

I'm also happy to see that my old account has been deleted and the posts are gone. :)

Well, at least my account is still here.. got inspired thanks to a random AIM message to come back :p

The only thing I can think of that's noteworthy nearest me is the old Waverly Hills Sanatorium in Louisville, Kentucky, or the Death Row Haunted House in Nashville.

Every now and then he sticks his head in to let me know the ninja assasins failed.... AGAIN.

That's what I get for cheaping out and getting vietnamese ninjas. I should have saved up.

*grumble*

Oh, and this is funny. NSFW-ish, but funny.

I'm guessing the NG BBS was too small to fit his ego?

Well, I'm back.. for now...

Then I'll be gone in 29 days...

Because I will be in hell (Navy Basic Training)

Then back after...

IF I COME OUT OF IT ALIVE

THREAD STARTING FRENZYYYYYY

I just watched the new episode of Venture Bros.

What the fuckity fuck fuck was that?!

Also: cocks?

An organized clusterfuck.

I was just barely able to follow the plot line. It was like they tried to cram several episodes worth of content into one.
