HAHAH. So I'm retarded and stoned today and my friend and I start looking online for me to find an apartment. He gets distracted and starts reading the Missed Connections on Craigslist for amusement, I guess. Unless he posted one, we may never know. But, there were some pretty funny ones. And I got it in my head to write one. If you can't figure out who I'm writing about too bad. I think it's funny. =) I'll post any responses I get.
And here it is:
"..While walking down beautiful University avenue, by 30th, I saw you. Your legs, from what I could see through your tattered jeans were so stunning, only small amounts of crude oil and dirt covered your sensual skin. You wore a green frizzled hat and lay asleep on the street, Albertson's shopping cart to your side, laden with your priceless belongings. My heart skipped a beat and I nearly dropped my Yog-Art onto the street. I paused for a long moment, staring longingly your way, wishing my will that you would awaken and sweep me into your arms. Steal me away from this cruel world. But my friends kept walking, and you did not wake. Please, if you ever read this, know that I am looking and longing passionately for your touch."
http://sandiego.craigslist.org/csd/mis/939415747.html
Response 1:
"..Longing for you, please find me - m4m - 21 (San Diego)
Dude, he is obviously HOMELESS and if he is homeless I seriously doubt he waould hace access to a computer let alone the damn internet
You need to take your ass back to where you saw him and approach, because just as you have a house most homeless stay in the same address also.
Good luck.."
Response 2:
"..
Hey Hot Stuff,
Sorry that you ran off so quickly. I was only pretending to be asleep. I am actually an undercover narcotics detective, looking for teenagers and young adults who are buying and selling drugs. The junk in the Albertsons cart was there to cover up the recording equipment that is used to prosecute criminals. I saw you staring at me, but didn't want to blow my cover, but once I saw the rod in your pants getting stiff, I thought that I would pee myself just to give you a signal back. You left too soon, and once I started pissing, I couldn't stop. I was going to get out of my undercover clothes, but the warm piss really started to turn me on, so I played back the recording of you watching me, with the woody in your pants, and I just had to rub one out. When I got home, I did it again. The next time that I am working that corner, I want you to pull it out and piss all over me. That will make me come 5 times. Thanks for thinking of me. Sometimes my work is very boring.
Hugs,
Jake
.."
Response 3:
"..Your ad, while clever and humorous, seems a bit mean spirited."
Response 4:
"..homeless dont have computer. RETARD......"
Response 5:
"..nice. very eloquent. "
Response 6:
"..sounds like you were attracted to a homeless person? Nothing wrong with attracting a homeless person, but knowing that he might not have a computer to use, but you just never know..
Goodluck buddy,

Sick
I think I'm getting sick. Or well, I know I'm getting sick. I woke up this morning and almost vomited, then I biked to work, thought the exercise might perk me up a bit. I was wrong: I feel even worse.
And then I listen to my daily news broadcast from DemocracyNow! and hear even MORE bad news. Not only am I physically sick, I'm financially sick off my ass at the same time. All of us taxpayers are. Obama's talking about "cutting bad spending," but mentions nothing about our gross overspending on foreign policy, and our gross overspending on some domestic policies (Homeland Security for instance.) On top of that, Paulson has come out with ANOTHER $800 BILLION plan to stimulate the economy. The government will now become a bank, because NO BANKS ARE LENDING! We forked over several TRILLION dollars to get them up and running, and guess what? IT DIDN'T WORK! What a fucking surprise. Anyone else think we're being scammed? It's so obvious it hurts.
Meanwhile, the number of Americans on food stamps is on the rise, hitting an all time record high of 30million.
WHERE IS THIS FUCKING MONEY COMING FROM!?
Seriously!
Where the fuck are we getting the $800billion? Where did we get the $750billion we already spent? It's more like $5trillion, but they won't admit it publicly. Where are we getting this money that we DON'T HAVE!?
It's like in California, we're in a $10billion deficit right now and we just approved a $9.95billion railway project, and THAT'S JUST THE START OF THE BILL! You can't rack up debt and expect to not have to pay it off. We're in a $10.7trillion deficit right now in our national debt. And we keep approving to tack on another trillion here, another trillion there.
Where is this money going to come from!?
OH YEA!
Us. That's right. We the taxpayers are going to pay for it. We're going to be TAXED TO MAKE UP FOR THIS DEBT! Someone has to pay for it. And it's us.
We are going to be paying for these banks that made risky loans. We are going to be paying for these auto companies that didn't do it right. We are going to be paying for people THAT CAN'T AFFORD TO OWN A HOME, to own a home.
Here's the simple truth: Not everyone can afford the American dream.
FORCING it on people is only going to hurt us in the long run. You should have worked for 10 years of your life to save up the money to buy a house, otherwise what stake do you have in the home? What investment of your life do you have in a house if you had no money down and an interest only loan? It's so retarded.
ANYWAYS. So they're proposing another $800 billion to go into government loans to people. So the money given to the banks was for not. They OBVIOUSLY are doing very well. I mean, Citigroup is only 50 times leveraged. Wants that mean? For every dollar in real money they have, they have $50 in debt. How can you operate a company like that? Oh wait, you turn to the government for assistance in financing your debt to make your books look better. Then, even though a stipulation of TAARP was to LEND THE MONEY BACK OUT AGAIN, you don't do it. So you can delay filing for bankruptcy for another couple of months, a year at best. The average bank is 30 times leveraged, and Citigroup is 50.
So we've handed out all this money to the banks, they're illegally not USING it, and now the government is turning into a bank. I say this all the time, but how much more obvious can it get? We the tax payers are going to be footed the bill, and it's the working class and middle class Americans that are going to pay the moeny. Taxes aren't going to be raised for the rich. Obama's even said the tax cuts for the rich that Bush pushed through he isn't going to remove, he's just going to let the policy expire in 2011. So 2-3 more years of BULLSHIT! Welcome, once again, to Corporate America.

Sarah Palin pardons a turkey
And then you watch behind her as they KILL a turkey. What a perfect backdrop to talk about your failing political career.

My Reply
This is a reply to a topic about Masons & for some reason Mayan calendars that I did. A lot of people were essentially saying "oh it's not true, there are no FEMA camps" etc etc.
here it goes:
I'm not so up on the end of the world scenarios. I can't get too worried about our planet getting sucked into some black hole, it's not something we can currently avoid anyways.
What I do personally worry about is where we, as a nation, will end up within the next couple years. Many of our civil liberties are currently out the window, so long as the government deems you to be a terrorist. Now, who are the people that consider to be terrorists? Is it the people in Iraq that are trying to get us out of our their country since we don't belong there? Or is it the citizens here?
If you answered the first one, you'd be wrong. 8 people were arrested in St Paul, MN, for organizing an "anarchist," peaceful protest to welcome the Republican National Conventioners to St Paul. The 8 people were arrested BEFORE the protests took place, one-two days before depending on who you're looking at. And what were they arrested for, I hear you ask? They were arrested for "Conspiracy to Incite a Riot in the Promotion of Terrorism" under Minnesota's version of The Patriot Act. Add to that the nearly 900 people that were arrested the day of the protest, as the police had unsuccessfully disbanded it by taking out its leaders. You don't have to believe me on this one, just watch the video of police surrounding people sitting in a park: http://www.alternet.org/blogs/peek/99433/incredible_documentary_footage_of_mass_arrest_in_st._paul/?id=123
Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now!, as well as two of her producers (Nicole Salazar and someone else,) were also arrested the day of the protest, though the charges of rioting where dropped against the some 100 odd reporters arrested that day. Why would our own police force, supposed to protect the public, violently arrest individuals for acting on their first Amendment rights of freedom of assembly (as evidenced by the people being arrested in the park,) freedom of the press (as evidenced by reporters being arrested,) and freedom of speech (as evidenced by the original organizers being arrested and charged as terrorists against the United States)?
Because they no longer serve the people. They serve a higher order: The New World Order.
I'm not entirely educated on the Masons either. I do know there are specific groups of individuals that were supposedly esteemed within the world, and certain celebrities and people are made "honorary members," but are never really let in on the meetings of the true members. It creates an air of sophistication for them, that they have members of the Masons that are actors or politicians. And the true members can slowly push their agenda.
We have a fraudulent banking system in America, geared only to promote debt, and therefore enslave people by that debt. We have FEMA camps set up all over the country. I've SEEN THEM BEING BUILT, and they're out there telling the people in the towns they're building them near EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE DOING. It's supposed to hold terrorists. There's a camp in Alaska that is capable of holding 2million people.
Here's some evidence of FEMA camps: FEMA Camp with Train access
Compound on to that the many trains that currently are being equipped with shackles for "transportation," run and operated by FEMA.
This tells me that our government is preparing for something to happen. Something they see being a very real possibility. There are also platoons of men coming back from Iraq and being used, or were during the 08 election, for crowd control essentially. They took people fresh out of war, just having spent months being SHOT AT, and then handed them rubber bullet guns. They're testing new weapons on the people of Iraq (microwave technology, etc.) Their idea of something that is "non-lethal" in Iraq is that it only kills 30% of the people it hits. Microwave crowd control technology
Crowd control technology in Iraq, and FEMA camps in the US. Hm! Connection?
What would the government be preparing for? Could it have anything to do with the current economic collapse and the idea of a World Bank to service the needs of all nations, a One World Currency? Owned and operated by the people that created the Federal Reserve (the Morgans, Rothchilds, Freedmans, Chases, etc) Whoever controls the money supply, controls the people. And here it is, right here, Bernanke lying to our faces. that the World Currency that is making MAINSTREAM NEWS being talked about, isn't being talked about? He LIED straight to Ron Paul and everyone there, and everyone watching. Ron Paul Questions Bernanke
I think if people really knew what was going on, the current economic collapse being an orchestrated failure all across the world, to create a world currency for world control, they'd be a little more inclined to take a much more active role in politics in their life, if they remembered how important it was to have it there in the first place.
You can try to argue all you want, but here's the simple truth: These camps exist. We have a president who himself, along with his chief of staff (Rahm Emanuel,) would like for there to be a youth brigade as well funded and supported as the military. Essentially tattle tail police. And everyone under the age of 25 is supposed to go to for a 3 month civil service training program designed to teach you what being an American is all about. I'm not making it up, it was on there website (change.gov or whatever) before they took it down. I've also written about it before.
Rahm Emanuel
We have a Federal Reserve that's lying to us about where they're spending the money from the bailout, and won't tell us how much or to who how much has been given.
Even if there isn't a group of people bent on world control, it becomes more and more apparent by the day that we the American people are going to suffer ramifications of the many policies pushed by this and previous administrations, and also backed by the current administration.
Believe me or not, but no change that will BENEFIT us is coming. Be content with your $2/gallon gasoline, until your dollar no longer buys anything. We're headed down a crap shoot right now, and we've yet to hit the biggest pile at the end. And it's people ignoring what's going on around them and pretending it doesn't exist because it's "too absurd" to exist that are going to be the first ones to break out into terror and raid the food shelves at stores when there's no more food. Instead of trying to figure out a solution for the crisis we're in.
America is a country of consumers, and it can no longer be perpetuated.

Gays fight back =)
I guess I should explain this before you watch it:
A group of religious extremists met to pray in the Castro district regularly, to pray for the gays to not be gay, essentially. This particular group spent 40 days praying in San Diego for the passage of Prop 8. So when they went to pray this time, in San Fran, they were met with a bunch of very angry homos. No one was hurt or attacked, though they said they were splashed with hot coffee (oh well if it's true.) The cops showed up and escorted them home, and also created a blockade to keep the gays from following them home.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrRxFoBSPng
Awesome, in my opinion.
I'm glad to see gay people finally saying they aren't going to take it laying down, no lube, anymore. =) In all seriousness, fuck yea though. They make a very good point, if you don't like gay people don't go into the Castro district of San Fran to pray against them. Simple as that. You fucked up Mormons, you fucked up Catholics that supported Prop 8. You've awoken sleeping queens.

Moving
So my roommate asked me to move out by Dec 1st, which later turned into "You -are- moving out Dec 1st." So my stress level is currently out the roof, but thanks to marijuana I'm calm. =) Enough. Anyways, his reason: I'm paying too much, I smoke pot and he doesn't approve and he has a friend that wants to move in. He also threw in that I'm messy (yea my rooms a little messy, but nothing off the wall. The general living area is kept immaculate) and finally just outright admitted he was unhappy with me living there. I asked him on various occasions if he had any issues with anything I did, and he said every time "No you're great." Obviously he lied to my face, and was just looking for the perfect opportunity say something about it.
I had an odd feeling he'd end up being like this though, it took me about two months after living there to feel like he just didn't want me there. His reasonings were disputable and fixable had he told me outright what was bothering him, and given me a chance to address it rather than it be a problem for him. Now I've got to figure out how to come up with an extra anywhere from 250-1000 depending on where I move to. So I'm a little stressed out on how to do that in 2 weeks.
Porn? Anyone wanna pay to see me naked?
I've looked at a couple places, and my current roommate has thrown some retarded suggestions my way (sorry, I'm a little upset about him not bothering to talk to me about what was bugging him and instead just outright deciding I have to move because of it.) Got a place to look at tonight.
But the entire reason I sat down and started writing this was because of a really funny reply I got from this one guy who said he had a room still available. Or at least where my mind went with it, it was funny. In a twisted way.
So I sent him an e-mail asking about the availability of the room, and he said he still had it and asked when I was planning to move. Said his roommate just "never came home." That's kind of funny on various fronts. One: The guy could be dead, or worse killed by the roommate. That's where my mind went with it first and I laughed. Not sure if at myself or if that had happened and may happen to me. Does that make sense? Two: he may just not want to come home for a while. Three: Might be in the hospital. Four: Something else.
And he offers me this dudes room, without knowing for certain where he's at? Kinda shady if ya ask me. Or I'm reading too much into it. I'll probably still go to check it out. I promise to write something else better if I find a place and stop pulling my hair out =)

Much of the Same
So as I'm listening to my daily news broadcast from DemocracyNow.org (I highly recommend listening to their news broadcasts, they're pretty accurate as to what's going on in this country) and the three guests Amy Goodman had on (Naomi Klein, Melvin Goodman & Michael Ratner) basically said: Obama has chosen people that aren't going to change anything. DemocracyNow! is an almost mainstream news source, and they're saying Obama is picking the wrong people for the problems at hand.
Go there and DL there broadcast for 11/17 and listen to it. Or read what Naomi Klein has to say, she's fucking brilliant.
Originally I posted it, but it's very long.
To sum it up: She says we don't need a smooth transition, that is only going to offer more of the same. We need to shake the boat, these companies need to be held accountable for what they're doing and the money they're using should be going to where it was intended: Freeing up the credit market and resuming lending, not being used for bonuses and buying up other banks as it has been. Essentially what these banks are doing is violating the terms of the bailout and Congress isn't standing up to them.
Barney Frank has even stated that what they're doing violates the terms of the bailout agreement. AND NO ONE IN OUR LEGISLATURE IS DOING ANYTHING. Essentially they're saying this credit crisis is so profound that legality no longer matters. This is absolutely absurd!
Then, compound on to that Obama picking people who backed the bailout, who aren't calling for the oversight committee that is supposed to be there, and also picking people for his foreign policy advice that BUSH used to lie us into the war!
From the broadcast:
"..John Brennan and Jami Miscik, both former intelligence officials under George Tenet, are leading Barack Obama’s review of intelligence agencies and helping make recommendations to the new administration. Brennan has supported warrantless wiretapping and extraordinary rendition, and Miscik was involved with the politicized intelligence alleging weapons of mass destruction in the lead-up to the war on Iraq.."
Nothing is going to change unless we, as Americans, demand that change. Democrats controlling congress isn't going to do anything if the people are still on the same agenda of corporate control.
Go there and DL there broadcast for 11/17 and listen to it. Or read what Naomi Klein has to say, she's fucking brilliant.
Originally I posted it, but it's very long.
To sum it up: She says we don't need a smooth transition, that is only going to offer more of the same. We need to shake the boat, these companies need to be held accountable for what they're doing and the money they're using should be going to where it was intended: Freeing up the credit market and resuming lending, not being used for bonuses and buying up other banks as it has been. Essentially what these banks are doing is violating the terms of the bailout and Congress isn't standing up to them.
Barney Frank has even stated that what they're doing violates the terms of the bailout agreement. AND NO ONE IN OUR LEGISLATURE IS DOING ANYTHING. Essentially they're saying this credit crisis is so profound that legality no longer matters. This is absolutely absurd!
Then, compound on to that Obama picking people who backed the bailout, who aren't calling for the oversight committee that is supposed to be there, and also picking people for his foreign policy advice that BUSH used to lie us into the war!
From the broadcast:
"..John Brennan and Jami Miscik, both former intelligence officials under George Tenet, are leading Barack Obama’s review of intelligence agencies and helping make recommendations to the new administration. Brennan has supported warrantless wiretapping and extraordinary rendition, and Miscik was involved with the politicized intelligence alleging weapons of mass destruction in the lead-up to the war on Iraq.."
