Bandwagon
This week I fell off the bandwagon and did the unthinkable... There was a cigarette in my mouth this morning. I feel irritable, jittery and sick now because of it. I can't sleep properly and haven't for the past few days and that's gotta end. Strange thing is I don't crave the nicotine (or at least not yet) but the act of smoking is something that strangely felt appealing during this long, winter dulldrum. I'm cursing myself for being weak and going thru with the act, and I'm beating myself up inside for being clean for 9 long months only for it to come to this. I think it also has to do with the stress of constantly looking for a better job and having the type of luck of nearly getting a better job .... but not quite. So to my friends, smack me in the back of the head if I ask for a smoke. My heart can't take the nicotine and I really should know better and find better ways to deal with stress. By far this is not the proper way to deal with stress and boredum, and it certainly is no excuse for being a douch-bag to friends or being a techno-typing-jerk. *sigh* | | Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009 | | 12:08 pm |
Roll'n roll'n roll'n....
Lets add up some cons, shall we? *-10 degree C. *blizzarding conditions between Portage la Prairie and Brandon. *ice and snow on TransCanada Hwy. *poor visibility *iced over wiper blades *scratched up windshield *bad headlights *retards passing you going 110 kmh when they should be going a safe 80, 85 or 90 in a 100 zone. *oh and... no radio antenna on the truck And now the pros: *I can yell at the top of my lungs profanities without anyone hearing me. I have nicely requested that I not be forced to drive truck #78 at night, 'period'. It is one thing for it to have really bad handling and barely any radio. Its another thing to NOT BE ABLE TO SEE WHERE YOU ARE GOING! | | Wednesday, October 28th, 2009 | | 7:36 am |
Which do you prefer?
The short and skinny of the matter, or the LONG AND HARD of the subject.....? Attention grabber. Teehee... Anyways... I had an ubber scare last night while driving back from Brandon. When I reached the first Portage bi-pass this RCMP vehicle darts literally out of the darkness at my truck, sirens and light going on all of the sudden at it started up and made it's way from a side road onto the highway. Ya that's right, it was sitting in the dark with it's light off, probably checking highway speeds. Anyways... It jumps onto the road right behind me. I literally thought 'OH NOs! What the hell did I do?' So I slowed down a bit and prepared to stop just as it pulled along side of me and passed me, chasing some car that had past me a moment before. The RCMP pulled the car over on the bridge (ON THE BRDIGE!) so I had to go around them. Now my thoughts on the subject are this: 1) I don't care who you are. Do NOT stop on an icy bridge in the dark. You are asking to die on the Trans-Canada-Highway. 2) When did theRCMP become like these little weasels that lurk by the side of the road. I know they do this speed trap thing in the after-noon/early evenings around Portage to catch speeders on their way to Brandon; hiding behind a bridge as cover and basically abusing the photo-radar system. Now They are becoming ghost cars in the middle of the night that pop out of no where to catch unsuspecting peeps going (drum roll) 105 in a 100 zone (shocked look). This is making you look desperate, guys. You might want to cut it out and start looking like the Royal Can Mounted Police again rather than a bunch of rookies looking to make a few arrests or hand out a few tickets so they might get out of dirty town MB to a more urban environment. But hey... What do I know? I only lived in the country for 18 years with the RCMP as my neighbors who used to come for dinner once and a while. | | Tuesday, October 27th, 2009 | | 7:46 am |
Bad case of Hermit-itus?
After a long trip to my Mom's house this past weekend, then having to run back to the city for an appointment, and then a few other things cropping up.... I just didn't have the brain power to make it over to Reddz's D&D game on Sunday. A whole-hearty 'boo' should come up from the crowd in the back of my head for becoming a lazy twat and just wanting to crash out and watch cartoons on Sunday night.
Last night was more of the same. It was 6 pm before I finished up work, then had to have a shower, then ran to St. B to pick up Shauna, then had to show an apartment to a new tenant, run to Superstore for foods, and then make dinner so I was not an absolute dingus or the rest of the night. And what time was it by the time I was finally able to relax? 9pm. GAH! Might was well stay home at that point.
So I wonder if I am becoming a hermit again, or if my need to stay home and relax is coming out of necessity of working so many hours. No... I want to go out and do stuff, but I think its on my own schedule that I'm wanting to do things on. I have run my life for the past few years on other people's schedules, and now with two jobs, my mind kinda snaps and says 'do things when you feel like doing them, Kory'. I think it's a bit of an old rebellious nature coming through again, seeing as how I have always been Mr. Reliable.
I think I just have to shake this funk off me a bit and start finding things to do with people during the week rather than
'hiding' at the end of my day. The only problem is not too many people want to do stuff at 9 o'clock at night.

snapppppp
What is the sound that a rubber-band makes when it is pulled to the very edges of its elasticity? Oh simple: SNAP! What is the sound that Kory makes when he has had enough bullshit? Oh simple: SNAP! No folks, this has nothing to do with Larp. Larp is an escape from snapping for me. This here is a real life SNAP that I am trying really really hard to just not talk about, not let stew, and now blast in someone's face at the moment. So you'll all have to excuse me if I take a 'I don't fucking care anymore' stance from now on. | | Friday, May 8th, 2009 | | 9:03 am |
Does the Cam IC list break the Org?
I've listened (read) the comments people have made and I only have this to say: Without the IC Cam list, how the hell would we know of any 'official decree' or 'fubbar' of idiots not playing genre. I mean really, how many times has some complete dunderhead popped up on the Cam list, spouted a bunch of crap, insulted a huge amount of people (cus apparently they can do that in their game without HARPY reprecussions) and then get supposedly 'smacked down' and still not blink an eye? Without this IC information, NPCs and PCs cannot act to renforce genre into games that are not playing to proper standard, thusly keeping such crazy ass games under control? Ya we all like being whacky-carefree-Brujah-esque-mouth-breat hers once and a while, but how many of these antognistic PCs are popping up willy-nilly all over the place who exude disrespect simply because they think they are safe at their fucking computer and can type like a sailor who has never touched a woman in 10 years (get out of your parent's basement you Lubriderm and Kleenix wanker!). I have seen the Cam list get used like it was the Rant list a number of times. Hell, I've seen the Gangrel list over the past 7 years get used as though they were a bunch of Anarch Brujah (however it is not as bad as it was 6 years ago). And ya, I was on the Rant list as an ST for all of a week once 6 years ago and it nearly broke my mind. Does it break the org? Yes and no. Yes, as we wil always have wankers wanking their wankity wankified sheet and hoping the hell their STs will protect them flimsy piece of paper from over baring 'respect nazis'. And no, as without the Cam list we would never know these crank-monkey-genre-breaking-cum-guzzlers exist. Copy and paste and quote me at will as I could give a rat's ass. | | Thursday, April 2nd, 2009 | | 8:00 am |
Weather God Prayers
Hark-en you, filthy masses, and pray with me to the all mighty weather gods. All powerful 'winds of change'... Send some warm weather that does not have white stuff attached to it. No longer does my snow blower wish to be used like a ten dollar whore. No longer does my back wish to break from thine shoveling. No longer does thin nose wish to be 'nipped' at by 'the Jack', nor my car yell at me for the strain on it's motor. No longer do I wish to hang up children's mitts to dry, nor mop salty floors un-courteous foot-prints. I beseech you, all power Weather Dude, make it fucking stop.

The Resignation
This is my first public post in like 4 months. So...I resigned. It is probably the best thing I could do to stop the anger that was growing in the pit of my stomach. I hate feeling angry. I don't like being angry and I don't like how it effects people around me. I get enough anger from working a real job that I don't need to have it in my hobby as well. That's just wrong. I feel a little bad, but the moment I hit *send* in my Resignation was the moment I felt a weight lifted off me. I know, pretty sad, but very true. It was a long time coming as I was contemplating pulling out the Coord elections after day 3. I felt pressured to be Coord from multiple sources an I felt that if I did not do it, I would be letting people down. That in my eyes is the wrong reason for running for Coord. I do hope the new candidates have a thick skin, and even though people have come out the wood work to say things like 'sorry to see you go' and 'you would have been a good Coord'. That super, but um... I'm still alive and I haven't gone anywhere. I'm leaving the genre, not the org and not the game. I have no hard feelings, and it's not walking on my grave by people popping up and saying "I'll take up the reigns." Bless them for it. Good for them. Hopefully they are doing it for the right reasons and not because they feel obligated. I do not intend on putting my seal of approval on a new candidate. I hope for them to stand on their own merit rather than passing a torch. It seems mean, but I have had to deal with people griping on how so an so was made sub coord and not me, and I trust this person and not that person. It was sad, truly sad. And I told many people before becoming Coord that 'I don't like org OOC political bullshit' and then suddenly it was thrust upon me from the moment the vote closed and I got named Coord. I mean, I had not even gotten added to a list yet and the fucking lurkers were there with their questions, wanting something. I do recommend they put their foot down and hard with people immediately as the Assamite Genre has become more fickle over the past 6 years where everyone thinks they know what is best. Players have become more rude, have no idea how they sound, and don't know when to stop. I can only take so much. Everyone has a complaint, but no one has a way to constructively fix the problem. That is just... GAH! Counter productive. Retrospectively, I am only sorry for wasting a month of the org's time, but it is far better I get out now rather than let this anger in me brew. Perhaps this might teach a few players, STs and the like a lesson. Maybe it won't. It probably won't. In the end, it was not the genre that made me quit, but the ooc bullshit. But in order to stop it, I will take myself out of it while I can stil leave gracefully and without flipping anyone 'the bird'. | | Wednesday, November 19th, 2008 | | 9:48 am |
Three words:
Assamite Spounge Bath! Why would I paint myself in full black make-up ever again? Enough said! | | Monday, November 17th, 2008 | | 11:10 pm |
GAH!!
Outlook Express! How I suddenly hate you! I can receive email but not send! And yet my webmail is working. So what the hell? | | Thursday, November 13th, 2008 | | 12:42 pm |
Clan Friendship ASSh-oles?
So I was thinking, in the future, of turning Clan Frienship into a vote, very simliar to Nos Prestige, where a certain percentage must agree and then list out the guidelines of what it would mean in a new and revamped packet to adhere to genre standards should the vote succeed for the friendship. Now the question is: Can I do that? I mean after all; I nearly had a shit fit when I found out Saldin had C.F. Assamite, and was like "who the hell is this guy?" | | Tuesday, October 28th, 2008 | | 4:02 pm |
Needy Neddy.
I need a secret lair! What doust thou think-ith? You know...Batman has the Bat-Cave and um...like..Ironman has like...his house and shit. I need a secret lair and a cool name for it, like the 'Inner Sanctum' or 'Kory's House of God and Pancakes' or 'The Tower of Coffee Filters'. House of God and Pancakes... heh... I think I still have that shirt somewhere. Bless you Felix the Malkavian! And before ye'all ask, yes...I had my one shot of Mocha caffienate heaven today. I had to. The headaches were killing me to the point of not being able to move. 4 bottles of water a day says 'it's not dehydration!'. Anyways... secret lair! I need a name and a description! Be creative! Oh and... For the Lasombra that everyone thinks has everything? For Xmas Ligatio wants a Mini-me just like Doctor Evil. If you can stuff itin a stocking, that would be cool too. I think I told my Seneschal this at last game which got me the oddest of looks from him (right after our discussion of Jedi where he was still undecided on 'what side of the fence Ligatio falls on'. I'll tell you what my side is! It's the right side! Deal!). Anyways... Mini-me! Make it happen! Peace ye'all! Current Mood:  gloomy | | Friday, October 10th, 2008 | | 2:00 pm |
YO! DIM WIT!
My beef of the day? Candidates! Here is how my conversation went: "My name is 'blah', and I am a member of Parliament." Me: Add? "I would like to canvas your building." Me: No. "No?" Me: That's right, no. Not unless I have documentation. "Fine." *hands me a photo copy of an act* "There you go." Me: This is a copy of an act saying that candidate are allowed to canvas buildings, and cannot be bared from doing so. This is not documentation. "Yes it is." Me: (and at this point rage is starting to build cuse THIS GUY SHOULD KNOW WHAT I MEAN). Look... This act says a 'candidate' is allowed to canvas. The documentation I am looking for is 'prove to me you are who you say you are'. "Oh..." Me: Look...I'm gonna take it on your word you are who you say your are. Start at the 6th floor, work you way down. You may get negative reactions from people as they do not like canvassers. This is a secure building. I don't let anyone in unless I know who they are, work for the police or sheriff's dep, or are with CFS. For the future, have something that says you are who you say you are other than a 500 dollar suit and a 60 dollar haircut. Current Mood:  annoyed | | Monday, September 29th, 2008 | | 1:39 pm |
Premptive...
This is a "Happy B-Day" before I forget tomorrow to the mighty 'Karpouzian'. May his spawn grow tall, may his woman be please, may his day tomorrow be filled with insignificant headaches, and may he continue to 'corrected my grammmmmmmar and sh-pelllings'. HAZZA!

Ughs...finally..
Finally saw Dark Knight last night. Terra and I enjoyed a quiet (nearly) evening with out kids. Red Lobster and a Movie. Awesome. Stopping Terra from standing up to tell the kids behind us to 'shut the fuck up' during the movie? Not so awesome. I wonder if it is because we were at the PoloPark Theatre. People aren't as rude during a movie in St. Vital. Watching Dark Knight with my sweety and us giggling after wards about the best portrayal of the Joker we've seen? Awesome. Walking thru the mall before hand and me getting hit on by some 50 year old 'cougar' in PoloPark while waiting for Terra? Not so awesome. In fact down right disturbing. Mame! You are so not a MILF. Dinner was good. We managed to get in just before the rush. 10-15 minute wait for us. The people right behind us? An hour to an hour and a half. When the left, there were 25 people mulling around outside. See what happens when you shut down all the Red Lobster restaurants save ONE!?! Mayhem! Terra's dinner was awesome (see how I keep saying awesome?). Mine on the other hand was not so good. I've had better Haddock at Joey's Fish and Chips. My dinner was dry, lacked lemon, and the tartar sauce tasted entirely like pickles. Maybe I'm just getting pickier. But the grilled shrimp Terra had? OH GOD! I needed to change my pants afterwards. Who ever the chef was knew how to grill seafood, including what ever sauce was used. OH GOD! Anyways. Got day off. A little running around to do, pick up AJ, feed and bath her, and then off to D&D once Terra gets home. | | Saturday, September 20th, 2008 | | 2:33 pm |
Scents
'Spiced Rose and Vanilla' has to be the most calming scent in the world. It reminds me of campfires and the burning of elm and cedar. There is kind of a Sandle-wood incense smell to it. Is 'Spiced Rose and Vanilla' actually 'Sandle-wood'? My apartment currently smells of this scent from candles... I guess aroma therapy is true cuse the moment I smelled the scent, I yearned to 'burn shit' (aka sit around a campfire, eat hot dogs, and well...burn shit...) There is only one scent I like more than this, and that has to be the harking scent of 'Mocha-Chip'; however that just makes me hungry an want cookies and coffee. Current Mood: calm | | Monday, September 15th, 2008 | | 7:57 pm |
Do my ear deceive me?
A 2009 remake version of Hellraiser? What-what-what? Oh...oh my...is this true? Will they do to Hellraiser what they did with Batman; revamp it and do it PROPERLY? Will they follow 'the Hellbound Heart' which was far more sinister than the 'gore and blood machine' they came out with 1987? (ahh...the era of really bad horror movies..) Will 22 years make a difference? It F****** better! Current Mood:  listless | | Sunday, September 14th, 2008 | | 11:21 am |
B Day
Happy B day to the two people I know who love hot sauce more than me. 'The Geoff' and 'The Kazu'. May your intestines twist in red hot lava! Did I miss anyone? Probably did. | | Thursday, September 11th, 2008 | | 11:08 am |
Emails
In the 8 years of having email access and in the sending of over 30,000 emails, I believe I have screwed up my sending (as in to where they should be going) of emails a total of 5 times. In those 5 times, I have used 'Etiquette' once for the purpose of changing the wording in 8 years. Does this make me a superior emailer? No. It just means I look at where I am sending things when I hit 'reply'. My spelling and grammar still sucks the hind most teet! Dear reader. I love you so. Please think on where your emails are going. That is all. You can now go back to your bashing. Current Mood: bored | | Wednesday, September 10th, 2008 | | 10:54 am |
Express yourself!
Terra is buying me an Expresso maker! Who wants to watch my heart explode? *KABOOM!* I'll be alert, like insane ninja who sees thru time! "In the future...I'm still sitting here drinking this coffee!" Hehe! Love-ya hun! Current Mood: chipper |
