Dirty Power Metal Slut [Dec. 3rd, 2008|10:23 pm]
[Current Mood | galvanized]
[Current Music |Masterplan - I'm Not Afraid]

I have discovered new power metal in the form of Master Plan. This is a song off their new album, and it perfectly illustrates why I listen to this stuff so much. You can't listen to it and NOT be utterly galvanized to face your life with a renewed sense of purpose and determination.

This is the song Wounds. It's a lot more optimistic and hopeful than it sounds. If you like, I'll put up the album. Also, when I am done perusing the new Dragonforce, be prepared to receive a screenful of blistering power metal that will be sure to rouse the warrior inside you no matter how hard you try to repress it!

KEEP ON FIGHTING! NEVER GIVE UP! WOO!

it really is too late at night to be listening to this stuff xD I'll never get to sleep like this

If your choice pleases the common man, but pisses off those in charge, you can be pretty sure... [Dec. 3rd, 2008|08:52 pm]
[Current Mood | flabbergasted]
[Current Music |the television in the background]

...that it's a good choice. At least, that's what I think anyway.

Now, what this applies to actually, is myself. I ended up talking to Kat today (who is now recovering from her surgery and is high as a fucking kite on painkillers, but still more intelligent than the majority of humanity) and apparently I am the eye of a shitstorm.

I didn't know that anything at all was going on, because of course no one is talking to me about what's going. Because it's all about me to begin with. Come to find out, Mel and Pat (the other two union stewards) as well as Sandy (who is the resident loudmouth and busybody) are royally pissed off that Kat "left me in charge."

First off, morons, she didn't leave me in charge. This is who with it the other two union stewards are: Kat is the Chief Steward. Mel is her Second. She asked me to stand in just in case there is a problem so that I can help out. NOT THAT I AM IN CHARGE! =_= They don't even know they're own damn chain of command. Sandy, she's such a moron and a wannabe upstart, is trying to get a petition going to replace Kat. The woman still hasn't gotten it through her head that NO ONE in the department is going to stand behind her.

Now, Mel actually went down to our Local and pitched a fit at Todd (who is our Union President) about Kat asking me to help out. He was claiming that Kat only told him "three or four days" before she went out. She told EVERYONE, Union Pres Todd included, at least a month beforehand. Mel is also trying to make this a "race issue." Kat is white, and I look white. I'm actually Mexican, but I also have a lot of European blood, so I look really white. Mel and Pat are both Black. Sandy is Black by injection. (How anyone could have sex with that whale I'll never figure out, but that's just me being catty. Meow!>^_^<) So how can this be a race issue? We're an even male/female mix as well as white/black/mexican ratio.

No one is happy about this, except for Kat. Pat talked to her about it, but she explained to him why she picked me and he's cool with it now. Todd has also approved me. I'm just getting stonewalled now because Mel is a backstabbing two-faced bastard. He wants the title of Chief Steward, but he doesn't want the responsibility. As is usual for people. (they make me want to puke) So the only reason he's pitching a bitch now is because I'm fresh territory and he thinks that I'm going to "take his power" away from him. Dude! I'm the least experienced person involved in this! D: I'm just hear to listen in and prevent arguments and undue violence from breaking out in the workplace. I've got nothing! I'm relying on these guys to help ME out, because they've got the experience.

They haven't even given me a copy of the contract yet to read over. They are also trying to say that I'm a big gossip. I don't talk to anybody at work, or hang out with anybody, or anything like that. Sure I'm a bit piqued at this because dammit, I just want to help. These people are fucking pathetic trying to start all this shit.

However, every one of my co-workers that I asked about this prior to accepting Kat's offer was very cool with the idea of me being the one to represent them in her stead. How can I not find this absolutely hilarious when I, the least social person in the department, is now a huge gossip and power mongering tyrant. And I haven't even gotten a chance to do anything yet! I kind of feel like a famous politician at the moment because of this. And I love it! xD This has got to be one of the most hilarious things that's ever happened to me.

Scurry on my little minions! Wear yourself out with your personal dramas! I'll be taking care of business.

I'm still working on the OTHER meme too, but this one was on [info]ajodasso's journal and I just couldn't resist.


Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and then write down the first line of each of the first twenty songs. Post the 'poem' that results. The first line of the twenty-first song is the title.

and here it is:

"Go Ahead As You Waste Your Days With Thinking"

This is your mission should you choose to accept it
Well it's Ninth and Hennepin
rising above tension below
You and I resemble God

(twenty-four hours ago I wanna be sedated
everything about me is torn in two directions)

Would you mind if I hurt you?
Who the hell are you to tell me?
...Eurus...
tragedy storms him when he spares her life

(I'm no Barbie doll
I'm an ugly girl
will the angels sing tonight?)

Don't believe them for a moment
A long time ago
I'll take my hope where I can find it
Herodias and I have led a phantom cavalcade
when the end comes it's beginning
Baby there was a time
Oh, here it comes, that funny feeling again...

Doesn't anyone have Any Integrity anymore? [Nov. 26th, 2008|06:38 pm]
[Current Mood | disappointed]
[Current Music |Explosions in the Sky - It's Natural to be Afraid]

My friend [info]chaoticthief showed me this video the other night because I am a huge fan of the show "Ghost Hunters." Jay and Grant...these guys are supposed to be the cream of the crop in the paranormal investigation field. They have such a unique approach to things: go in trying to DISPROVE a haunting, rather than prove that a place is haunted. Jay was always saying "...they don't perform on cue," in reference to ghosts/hauntings.

They were so noble about it too. If children were involved they bumped the case up to top priority and got right on it. They constantly offered counsel and solace to frightened and confused people. They made such massive inroads on obtaining actual credibility in the field to the point where skeptics couldn't just dismiss them as a bunch of quacks and weirdos. They were simply too professional, too scientific about it all.

Then they go and do this. I would really really like to not believe it, but the evidence is too damning. Watching this really wounded me, and disappointed me in such a grave manner that I can't even really fathom it myself.

Sure, this sounds really silly to be this distraught over a television show but if you'd had the experiences I've had, if you'd had as many people calling you crazy and staring at you like you're a lunatic as I have, you would understand where I was coming from. It was like FINALLY someone was validating all the weird things that had happened in my life. They were opening minds, ushering in the beginning of a new way of viewing life and death. But no. The world and its greedy, grasping hands wins again.

Way to make credibility yours guys. Congratulations on destroying all the work that you had heretofore accomplished. I applaud you on your epic and monumental failure.

Another good lively piece from Cirque du Soleil. If you likes, I can upload more. They have such beautiful music.

This song is called "Mordred's Lullaby" by Heather Dale. It's done in an old bardic style, or commonly known as "filk" these days. Prz to enjoy!

[Current Mood | STUNNED]
[Current Music |Gioia - From the Inside(Junior Vasquez Mix)]

Tomorrow The Kat is going on leave from work because she's going to have major surgery. She's also our department's dayshift union steward. Because she is going out, she needs someone to act as her alternate and represent the dayshift people if there are any problems.

She said that she needed someone who was smart and that she trusted. Someone who can keep their temper and play nice with the stupervisor.

She asked ME to do it. ME! I have absolutely no experience with this kind of thing and what makes it worse is that everyone I asked about it today at work was totally cool with the idea! D: ME!

I think I want to do this. D: But I don't want to fuck up and let everybody down. This is a lot of responsibility! And it's for three months. I just...I don't even know. I'm just totally shocked that she would ask ME of all people to do this. ME! D:

My first thought is: what the hell is she thinking?! Second: I have no experience at this! Third: Can I psychologically handle this much responsibility? D: because there is a LOT of shit that goes down in our department, and I would basically be the dayshift DA.

I am flattered beyond reason because both Kat and Kathy thought of me for this. These two are a couple of the smartest, strongest women I've ever had the opportunity to meet. And they think I would be up to this! I just...I don't even know what to think.

I'm babbling and repeating myself now. Wow. o_o I have to seriously, deeply consider this because this is dealing with peoples' livelihoods here.

Random Splashy Info *omnomnom* [Nov. 19th, 2008|10:32 pm]
[Current Mood | amused]
[Current Music |Explosions in the Sky - A Poor Man's Memory]

tagged by the deliriously enjoyable [info]teacrumb. Read on! Read on! IF YOU DARE! MWAHA!


Shenanigans: Once you’ve been tagged, you have to write a note with 16 random things, shortcomings, facts, habits or goals about you. At the end choose 6 people to be tagged, listing their names and why you chose them. You can't tag the person who tagged you.


1. I'm 28 years old and I still have a floordrobe. I just can't be bothered to put my clothes away after I wash and fold them. That's enough tedious labor in and of itself.

2. I've wanted to be a paranormal investigator/psychologist for as long as I can remember. I've had experiences my whole life, and I first started seriously studying it when I was in third grade. At nine years old I could explain the difference between a haunting (residual, intelligent, and poltergeist) as opposed to demonic manifestations. This has just always been my "thing."

3. I truly despise the fact that the "hero" of any given story always seems to win. Where's the love for the "villains"? I put it in quotes because they're usually only villanous because they want change, and change is often feared because it's different. Thus they are feared and therefore "villanous", "scary", etc. Why do people want to stay the same so much? Don't they realize that they're stagnating in their own juices? Least, that's my logic on it.

4. I don't have any shortcomings. I'm too awesome! HA! No, if I have any it's that I'm too rational (I can rationalize ANY idea/POV/etc.and it makes me rather unemotional and distant) and very self depricating.

5. One of the coolest things I've ever gotten to do in my whole life is hold a real human brain in my hands. It had to be one of the most amazed and wonderous moments ever, for me. To think that this strange, wrinkly, squishy thing used to hold an entire entity. All of their thoughts, memories, experiences, and it fits neatly into my cupped hands. How amazing is that?

6. "There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy." This is the only thing that I will ever say I believe in wholeheartedly. I believe in it because I know it, beyond the shadow of any doubt. There are so many different modes of existence, so many different levels, and the number of self-manifesting entities is vaster than the ocean of stars our little rock floats in.

7. I don't dream like the average person. I either have nightmares, or I recieve information. Be it future references or to clarify the present. Those are both rare occurrences. The rest of the time it's black.

8. My nickname in high school was Death. I was always the weird, spooky girl, kind of like "Carrie." I never did anything to discourage it either because it made me laugh.

9. When I was in high school I used to balance chemical equations for fun. It's really weird though because beyond that, I absolutely suck at math. Hell, it took me two years to learn how to count money and tell time. I still have trouble with those two.

10. I have had a one night stand before. It totally was not worth it.

11. This meme is among the harder things I've done in my life. I'm a very private, standoffish, independent type of person and I hate talking about myself. However, I have always stated that if someone cares/is interested enough to ask, I will answer. (I am sitting here fighting with myself to not delete this thing.)

12. I absolutely hate mirrors. Nothing good can come from them and you cannot know what's on the other side looking back at you, or what may come through them. I'm going to be investing in some double sided velcro and black cloth to cover the two in my bathroom. They are the only mirrors in my apartment and I will not go into that room without turning on the light first and keeping my eyes locked right on that damn thing.

13. My favorite disease is the Bubonic Plague. You have to have respect for anything that can completely ravage the body and kill you in three days flat, as well as taking out six million people. Ebola is a very close second. Organ liquification for the win.

14. I am hopelessly, shamelessly addicted to spider solitaire. I have played 2515 games on my new laptop. I've only won 308. *ahem*

15. I collect t-shirts, plushies, weaponry, and music. The more unique the better. Like my Christmas Cthulhu who wears a santa hat and a red and white striped scarf. He also has bells on his tentacles. I have several shirts that talk about how awesome I am and: Fight Poverty. Work! My next sharp acquisition will be a solid oak bat with iron spikes on it. Music, well. That speaks for itself. I would rather die than live without music.

16. I enjoy playing Resident Evil a lot. I also work in a hospital. So, when I'm alone in the hallways, which is quite often, I start sneaking around with my ears stretched out and listening for "zombie noises." Lucky for me, I have two "hand" guns in case anything ever does show up.

All the people I have wished to tag have already been tagged, so I tag you all to do with this as you please. Take it or leave it. Whichever you prefer~
