No, I agree with blue, people are fucking stupid.

Persons?  Persons can be super awesome cool brilliant tits great.  However, people are pretty god damn horrible.  Our species has a horrifying predilection to mob violence.  The collective species?  I'm not sure how to express it in text, but picture me shaking me head back and forth as fast as I can making a horrified sound.

Unwashed Village / I'm thirty!

And my sister is super super pregnant, and my aunt has terminal brain cancer, and I'm redoing my career, and I'm trying to figure out whether or not to marry my girlfriend.

Okay, that last bit was a lie, I already know I want to marry her, I just hope she'll get her dumb ass on board.  Anyway, my point is: Michigan is a horrible state.

I was actually interested in nuclea, Blue.  Beyond that, I am interested in the fact a mob-violence attitude towards nuclear power is doing great things for the coal industry. 
and the oil industry.  And the green energy industry- wait, there is no green energy industry.

I used to be terrible for consuming copious amounts of alcohol till I found a lady to marry and had children, I drink as much a year as I used to most weeks and even less than some spectacularly indulgent days.

And hey, good for you bro.  Glad you beat it.

To answer questions, I teach secondary level math mainly, algebra, geometry, calculus.  But I also teach physics and I also teach english! 

Seriously, I'm certified to teach math, english, and physics in american public schools.  I have perfect scores on every part of every standardized test regarding english, math, and physics.  I tried to do bio and chemistry too but I can't remember all the stupid names.

Sometimes I feel like a cliche.

Man, I am at a low, a low, a low!  Unemployed, and, uhm.  Actually really I guess my only problem is I'm unemployed.  IT's stressing me the fuck out though!  And I can't decide whether or not I want to go back into education.  I had a handle on my alcoholism and I was looking handsome as fuck, and I started teaching,  and I started boozing again and my hair is turning pure white.  DECISIONS.  I mean, I like teaching, but jesus christ it is so stressful it's destroying my body.  WHAT TO DO

Does your fingertip tingle?

'cause that's what mine does where there's nerve damage.

You know, this guild would be a lot more fun if we played some kind of game.  As it is, I just have to keep popping in every time I'm shitfaced to be nostalgaic and make an ass of myself.  You guys know how to play Bridge or something?

Sometimes I wish I was dead!  Then I drink more. 

Or less?

I'm not even sure how it works with me any more.

Yo, that was a horrible semi-drunken post.  You kept yourself totally under control!  The only possible use of booze is to let us shed our inhibitions, if you're gonna keep your mojo under control, you might as well drink lemonade

How's your nephew, man?  Inquiring minds want to know.

I have an actual opinion about this!  Don't worry boys, it's an easy opinion to swallow.  The problem with our government is gerrymandering!  And also the lack of congressional term limits, but let's focus on gerrymandering, 'cause it's a funny fucking word.

I mean, it really is gerrymandering.  Congressional representatives no longer have to give a SHIT about what people in general want; their districts are carefully sliced to make sure that only people who agree with them can vote about them, so fuck actually thinking about problems!  Clearly, what I'm saying isn't true 100% of the time, but it's true enough.

GERRYMANDERING: FUCK YOU, GERRY

Unwashed Village / Internet
« on: October 05, 2013, 02:49:14 PM »
When I was about 13, we finally got the internet for the first time.  I had Fallout, somehow; I can't even remember how I got The Game.  My parents must have bought it for me?  Man, they are pretty good folks.

Anyway, me and this asshole buddy I had started looking at INTERNET MESSAGE BOARDS to find out stuff about this game.  Bear in mind, it's 1996-7, this is a new thing.  I stumbled upon Interplay's Fallout board, and met the Roshambo warrior.  He invited me to the Unwashed Village.

Throughout the next 6-7 years, I was Unwashed.  I was a massive douchebag pretty much all the time. I lied about my age and claimed I was two years older than I was, I obsessed over every board social interaction.  I wrote HORRIBLE poetry.  I wrote some short stories that I think I are kinda funny.  I wrote EVEN MORE HORRIBLE poetry.  I met people all over the fucking world.    I lusted after every female board member, but I told myself that I was being discrete about it; in retrospect, I'm sure I was just like every other teenager.  I fell fucking in love with every board collaborative project.   I was involved with board drama. 

The moments that I remember with the most clarity:

I called Rosh "She", and he responded that he's a he, and I apologized, and he said it wasn't a big deal, then said "Much of what makes us human is lost in this digital world."  Rosh, if you're still out there, that shit you said 16 years ago will never leave my head.

I called Tink "babe", and she got super double angry about it.  I think that was the first time that I really processed that my words have different connotations to other people, and I had to make sure that I am aware of the feelings of the person I'm talking to, and not just assume that every person has the same societal norms I do.  Apparently, communication is a two way street; that cliche doesn't mean 'you have to pay attention to the other person so you can hold hands', it means 'you have to pay attention to what's coming your way because if you cross the double yellow you might plow head on into a durango and maybe die.'

Nathan dying.  I remember that.  Jesus.   

I used to play Shadowrun with Bobtheslayer and Commander Clairol and . . . other people.  Sorry if you played with us and I don't remember you.  The reason I remember it is they told me that they debated throwing me out of the game because I was ruining it for everyone.  Now, at 14-15, I didn't take it well.  In retrospect, well.  I basically idolized those folks at the time; it was probably good for me to learn that they weren't amused by my juvenile attempts to control a social situation.  (also, holy fuck, bad poetry)

What else did I learn from the Village?  Hmm.  Fuck it, go for it?  Everything you put on the internet is there forever?  The world's a big place?  Am I the only person who still remembers the guanabana joke?

Anyway, that's a little trip down memory lane.  Do with it what you will.
