Sorry

Hey everyone i'm sorry I missed Frank Friday yesterday. I haven't been feeling too good over the past few days. I even took the picture for it but i forgot to post it up. So here it is and thanks for understanding and happy nights till next time.

This is part of why i haven't been feeling well

Selective Net Issues

Okay what the hell internet?! Everything was fine then earlier my internet started acting up. Its only letting me on blogger to do everything I want. The only other stuff I can get on is YouTube and Google however I can't pull up any videos or look into anything i look up on Google  The only thing I can do with it is look up and save pictures. Needless to say i'm pissed off about this. I hope things go back to normal soon. I really don't want to be this limited for long and i'm sure everyone understands that. Happy nights till next time everyone.

Missing Frank Friday Expolnation

Okay i'm sorry I missed Frank Friday yesterday. I'm a very superstitious guy so with the End of the world predictions yesterday I wasn't feeling up to making a blog post. As a result I stayed up late waiting it out to see if we would all die. Good news is no such thing happened and were all still here. Bad news is stacking up though. Yesterday Stacy managed to break Ann's car adding to the stack of bills we have here. Good news on that was that unlike her own car Ann's was a quick, easy, cheep fix. More bad news we need a new motor for Stacy's car right after all the repairs and labor we just payed so her car is costing a damn fortune and is preventing us from paying other bills to get moved. This morning we were told Ted put in his two weeks and is looking for a new job if things don't change and that happened due to him being given a lode that will if they are lucky let them be home for five hours on Christmas day. This is pure bull shit and we have NEVER missed a Christmas or had so little under the tree. The gifts don't matter, what matters is he may quit in which case my life stays on pause another six months to a year if we don't relocate(not to mention that he should at least be here on Christmas even if there are no gifts and i do mean for the day not just five hours. This is why I HATE the trucking industry with a passion.) I've been sitting around  for around two years now and i'm getting sick of it. I need to be able to move forward and I cant do that living here. With Ann out helping Ted do his job no one is here to teach me to drive so I cant get a job to change it ether. Its not like we live near friends who will teach me or who I can car poll with or we live in a city so I can get a cab/take a bus. So there you have it. Happy nights till next time all and thanks for listening to me bitch.

Wow...Sorry

Okay it has come to my attention that my pictures haven't been showing up on here much since Halloween. I (Ross) want to apologies. I haven't seen that they weren't showing up so I thought they were. Had I known that they weren't I would have tried to fix it sooner so pleas bear with me. I'm trying to fix it now in time for tomorrows Frank Friday. Happy night till then

Explanation (my problem and a need to change)

Okay so its Ross. I know I haven't posted in about a week but there is a reason. I have been sick with a cold lately and I need to concentrate on getting better first and foremost. It hasn't been going well thanks to my habit of  freaking out over every symptom and looking up what I have on Google  I get really worried when I do that and it makes me panic over illnesses I most likely don't have. I need to stop doing that from now on. Whats worse is that I get too focused on worrying than getting better and I make things worse for myself. I'm pretty sure now I have a cold and anxiety but I'm seeing a doctor soon to find out. I'm honestly really scared to find out but I also really want to know i'm okay so I'll stop driving people around me fucking crazy. I mean one week I convinced myself I had hypothermia because my body temp was 96.7 when I took it. That really wasn't my proudest moment and its kept getting worse since then. This needs to stop and I'm gonna make it stop.

Fuck You Online Its Not a Crime

Okay well today I’m cutting away from the normal all of us who view my blog regularly have grown accustom to. What I plan to type here will possibly be some of the most controversial material I will ever post up. I know many of you will be offended by what I will put here and honestly you are welcome to leave all the hate mail you'd like but your also welcome to leave right now before I get into what it is I have to say. You have been warned.

Okay so an incident last night prompted me to type this up today and it was one that touched me deeply but not in a good way. Me and a friend of mine were chatting online late at night and it must have started around two thirty in the morning but it didn't end till five am. For over two hours my friend cut into me attacking me beliefs. In the paragraphs to come her name will be changed to protect her identity that’s the favor I will grant in this situation. 

Alright let’s get started. I got on after dealing with some business with Ann about moving soon. We were picking a city and trying to get an idea of where to move to. I'm gonna be staying with her and her husband for the year to come after we get the new place so I can save up money to get a place of my own but im jumping off topic now so I’ll get back to it. So I get on and Kate was online because we had planned to meet up for a while. Things started off cool but changed as they always do. It started with her asking about where I stand in politics. I told her the truth I stand on the, I'm a person side of things as an independent. She was cool with that and we proceeded to get into a discussion about the system and about China. 

I don't know if she was drunk, depressed or just paranoid but it was no excuse for what would soon go from a pleasant conversation to her attacking me. Well start with the China bit as it is the shorter of these two. You never know what someone is really like until you have a talk like this which is why I tend to avoid them to the best of my ability. Well I didn't know she would flip out on me so I didn't bother trying to avoid it this time (I wish I had). Once again I jump off topic but really people are so easy to get along with till this shit gets brought up. They are so friendly and that's a benefit of the net, it frees us to say things we would never say to other people and it makes the masks we all wear more convincing. Anyway so she started up with a paranoid sounding statement about how she was surprised China didn't put sleepers in the stuff they send to us and she went from that into a rant about them owning most of America as it is and what sounder a lot like her saying they would take over. I proceeded to tell her that wouldn't happen. Come on really Kate?! China has no reason to screw themselves over by taking over, and they would if they did take over. No offence China but it’s true. When a nation gets too big it often throws that nation into chaos and I had to spend ten minuets pointing this out to her. At first things may be fine but the bigger the territory taken the harder it is to control. I had to point out times that it has happened trout history like Britain in the new world, Napoleon Bonaparte, Julius Caesar, Alexander the Great. I know that reason isn't the only factor in each by the way.

I went on to say it wouldn't benefit China to take over and have to deal with not only more territory to worry about but to gain the US's enemies and problems (financial and otherwise). No why it is true they have a lot of control I can't see a reason for then wanting all those problems when they can just as easily control things without taking over and that leaves them forever blameless for the bull shit we cause. It’s easier to leave the illusion of freedom and control things behind the scenes. That would lead her to promptly tell me I’m wrong and id lead us into out fight about the system by saying that it works kinda. While I know it may not last forever I do know it holds things together for now while we as people grow and learn to make things better. She disagreed that we get better and said we are all wasting our time. I had to point out that nothing we do is a waist. We are paving the way for the next generation to be better than us. I know things don't get better even in one lifetime in most cases and I accept that. Her response was to basically ask me why bother because we put people in power that are fucking idiots.  That led further into this fight about us as a species never getting better and the system. She tried to convince me that there's no point to our existence and that there was no meaning in believing that human kind does get better. In the end I told her to fuck off. I will not give up on us all. I know we get better little by little. I except that the things suck ass and that the system doesn't work well. However it’s the best we have for now.

Everyone who paid attention in government class in this country knows we the people don't really have much say in the leader. People like Kate give up on humanity because they say it’s stupid to see the good and they focus in on all the bad. People like me have faith that is unchanging. I refuse to give up that faith and by the end of our fight it sounded like if we each had a button that would end existence she would push it and I wouldn't. Yes the fight bothers me greatly and while she did have no right to attack me like that it isn't a crime online. That's it for me. See you all tomorrow for Frank Friday. Have a happy night till then.

Frank Friday & a VERY Stoned Kitty

Finally wore himself out

Okay It's Ross. I nearly missed Frank Friday this week due to computer troubles provided by CoolRom.com. I Went there to get part of what I needed to play the hack for Pokemon Ruby that's called Pokemon Snakewood. It looks fun plus zombie Pokemon and the people say wired shit since It wasn't made by the official company. It all takes place after Z-Day. So any way I couldn't figure out the last bit of instructions so I wound up adding a bunch of systems and games from the site. Not all of their stuff causes problems. The Sega Genesis and Gameboy Color/Advance didn't cause a problem. It was the super Nintendo that caused all these issues. Aside from that I'd suggest them to fans of the old games who wanna play them on the computer.

Anyway that aside we have had a few problems this week while Ann is away. First off were out of cat food so hes eating cat treats till she gets back. I decided to give him some catnip because he was board and I couldn't reach it so I must have dumped the days worth on the floor (we don't give him much) but the fan blew it all over. Now hes down to just the cat nip treats so hes stoned and when hes stoned two things happen. One he gets the munchies and two he gets lovable/clingy and downright stalkerish of me. With nothing but catnip treats to feed him hes getting stoned all over again every time he gets hungry. Cant wait till Ann gets home tonight with cat food. He has tuckered himself out for now thank god though. Till next time. Keep reading and I hope you liked reading this.
