Part 5/32
Ok, perhaps I'm getting a bit away from my original purpose of ranting about political correctness, but I think this can be considered at least tangential to that... So, without further ado... Conversational rituals! We say hi, they say hi, we ask how it's going, they say fine, good, meh, emmeish, something conventional. Anything else, unless you're close friends, or relatives, ie, actually telling someone about their terrible day, is anathema!~! Are we so afraid of making someone else uncomfortable that we can't complain in the least? Or, is this just the path of least resistance to getting out of talking someone we don't really like? And then, at the end of conversations, when we meet someone in the mall, probably again someone we don't like, we engage in another ritual, a disengagement ritual, an exit strategy, if you will. What is it? "Well, I'll let you get back to your shopping..." WHAT?? c'mon! I'm looking at candles! Your conversation was the most interesting thing that happened to me all day, and now somehow it's my fault that you're leaving? Or are you blaming the candles? Personally, I'd rather take the rap for that. Leave the candles out of it. | | Monday, January 14th, 2008 | | 1:01 am |
Part 4/32 ...yeah, I'm continuing that again
Today's bit of PC lingo is "Morning person". Let's cut this practice of excusing their bright-and-chipperness, and call them as they are: conformos. Schools of all levels, respectable jobs, and TV talk shows all start early in the morning, by which i mean 8 or 9 am. By getting up at the crack of dawn, we are acquiescing to The Establishment's objective in making us nighthawks get up and stumble through our day half-awake, or highly caffeinated. (The Coffee Cabal's ranking in The Establishment is subject matter for another post). Therefore, nighthawks of the world, unite! Let us push back the "usual" wakeup time by at least 2 hours. Maybe 3, or even 4. Good evening all. | | Sunday, October 14th, 2007 | | 4:32 pm |
Life Chain
So, today was the day re-scheduled for the Life Chain, because of Thanksgiving. I think it went well, although the party was crashed by some pro-choicers. They were relatively quiet, just holding up their own signs...they didn't get any honks... | | Saturday, April 21st, 2007 | | 2:08 pm |
The limbo thing All I have to say is "Father" Richard McBrien is a heretic. He's presenting a false dilemma here to further his own agenda. And the media isn't using the best language either. This is not a "reversal" of teaching. Limbo sprouted because of a LACK of teaching. | | Wednesday, February 28th, 2007 | | 6:28 pm |
Passing the mush
Reply to this post and I will give at least one reason why I like you. Then post this in your journal and pass on the mush. | | Wednesday, December 13th, 2006 | | 2:30 pm |
So, the Discovery Channel is airing a documentary on UFO sightings over Scotland. One gentleman has the theory that there is a certain underground base (masquerading as a NATO base) that serves as an interplanetary command and control centre. Well, that's not precisely the wording they used, because their wording used the word "empire", which got me thinking, where's the money? If we look at history, the only example, EVER, of people going somewhere just to look at something, is people going to the zoo. The overriding factor in any exploration, any long-distance travels is money. The ancient Greeks travelled to Iberia to establish trading relationships, ditto for Marco Polo. England sent the Pilgrims to the New World to expand the empire, and then started taxing them. So, if aliens really are here on earth, or if they run the world, or even if we run their world, how is it that all of our money can be accounted for? (no matter how corrupt the purpose). We don't have any extra money from taxing the aliens, we don't have a lack of money from being taxed by the aliens, or from buying their super-high-tech weapons. The world's economy is untouched by extraterrestrial factors. Thus, since the aliens have not displayed any reason for visiting earth, they must not exist. | | Monday, November 13th, 2006 | | 11:41 pm |
Letter to Santa
 Dear Santa...
Dear Santa,
This year I've been busy!
Last Wednesday I pushed ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) blackflame28 in the mud (-17 points). Last Tuesday I ruled Duluth, Minnesota as a cruel and heartless dictator (-700 points). Last week I caught a purse-snatcher who stole glitteringlynx's purse (30 points). In May I had a shoot-out with rival gang lords on the 5 near LA (-76 points). Last Thursday I gave dancing_singer a wet willie, then I took it back (-5 points).
Overall, I've been naughty (-768 points). For Christmas I deserve a spanking!
Sincerely,
spirithound |

Right outta nowhere
About 20 minutes ago, it was sunny. 10 min later, it started pouring. Lightning, thunder...very nice. And now, the TV went out. :( Current Mood: enthralled | | Sunday, August 27th, 2006 | | 1:39 pm |
Several things to "blog" about, as they say...let's see how much i remember. 1. Hamilton is a terrible city. Mac is nice, but the downtown part of the city is OLD and that means ugly, grey skyscrapers. And it smells funny. 2. My msn nick for about a week was "Trevor the First Aider - Who wants to play First Aid?" Only 2 people responded to it. Azalie decided to tell me it sounded like a lame come-on. Theresa decided to play First Aid with me :) . She shot herself in the head. oddly enough, she was a responsive casualty. Oh well, it was fun (and for all you who were too scared to play with me, Theresa got it right). 3. I leave for Ottawa in 5 days (give or take one day). I am quite excited to see my other friends again. 4. A corollary to 3, i'm not enjoying packing. 5. I'm don't feel like putting spaces between my point anymore. 6. Partied last night, with Emme, Gord, Brendan, and Laura (who i will rename Stacie, as she looks like my friend Stacie from Ottawa. Anna was supposed to join us, but she was "sick" so she stayed home. There is no Anna. Emme just made her up in an effort to convince us that she does have fem friends. Nobody has actually *seen* this Anna, even tho she claims that I've seen her in Ottawa, although, with a population of like 700,000, isn't it likely that i'll know at least one Anna from St. Catharines whose last name i don't know? I think so. Of course, we could rather easily check up on her story by visiting her at work, but Emme took care of that quite early in on her job, by repeatedly refusing my offers to take her out for lunch, claiming that she doesn't take a lunch break. Therefore, i conclude that Anna does not exist. 7. Party tonight. That is all i can say right now. 8. At least 2 parties this week. Details to follow. 9. That is all for now....peace! | | Tuesday, August 8th, 2006 | | 10:18 pm |
My attempt at starting a debate
For those of you familiar with St. Catharines, you may know that the Salvation Army hostel, RAFT, at least one pro-life counselling clinic, other hostels and missions, and Delta Bingo are in the area of St. Catharines that Emme has so affectionately labelled Cracktown. Here is my question: Do the missions come to Cracktown, or does Cracktown come to the missions? Happy commenting! | | Monday, July 31st, 2006 | | 7:08 pm |

Kids say the darndest things
Conversation overheard in the washroom of the Rainforest Cafe in Niagara Falls, between a young child, probably 4 or 5, and his dad. Child: Dad, what would you do if I got lost? Dad: I'd panic, that's what I'd do. C: But what would you *do*? D: Well, I'd start looking for you all over. *Short Pause* C: How long? D: Until I found you! *Another Pause* C: Dad, what would you do if someone stole me? D: I'm going to make sure that doesn't happen. | | Wednesday, July 12th, 2006 | | 2:09 am |
Part 3/32: Pedophilia Let's take apart this word: Pedo= child (from Greek) Philia= brotherly love (from Greek, same root as Philadephia) Pedophilia is clearly not a brotherly love of children, nor is it a healthy obsession like Anglophilia. So let's call these people and their acts what they truly are: child molestors. | | 1:50 am |

What's that? you want me to continue the 32 part series? Too bad. Why? because i hate people. I hate tourists, and i hate parents that let their little rugrats stay up til midnight and beyond. that is all. Good night :) | | Tuesday, June 13th, 2006 | | 11:08 pm |
Ripped from glitteringlynxThere's at least 1 person on your LiveJournal that wants to date you or sleep with you. So lets play........ FRIENDS w/BENEFITS The rules are simple... If you want to date the person who posts this, post a comment saying "I'm yours" If you want me to top/dom you, a "Please, sir" goes a long way. ;-) If you want to top/dom me, "On your knees" works pretty well. If you just want to sleep with the person and stay friends, post a comment that says "I'd hit it" SCARED??? You ONLY live ONCE! THE TWIST IS YOU HAVE TO REPOST THIS!!! & see who replies. All responses will be screened! | | Wednesday, June 7th, 2006 | | 3:20 pm |
Part 2 of 32 Yesterday, I says to Jamie, I says, "It's going to be a long walk home." Seems innocent enough, right? Well, I happen to be in a wheelchair, and so the word "walk" is not quite accurate for me. Meh, whatever. | | Friday, May 26th, 2006 | | 10:47 pm |
I'm starting a 32-part series on political correctness. I hate political correctness. It is unnecessary circumlocution, all in the name of not offending someone, or making something sound better than it is. So, Part 1. Passed away. This is a terrible phrase. Someone has died. They don't pass away. I can still see them. They aren't "away", they're dead. My Grampa recently died. It really aids in the grieving process to admit that a person is dead, not "passed away". it gives a more finality to the state of being, even tho it really isn't permanent (comment if you want to know more). | | Saturday, May 20th, 2006 | | 12:19 am |
