Fistpound, brah.

Hell yeah.

To contribute, I can't stand passive-aggressive students. Today one of my classes ran about five or so minutes over. My professor doesn't really keep track of the clock once he starts his lectures, and it was 11:55 by the time he finally checked his watch after seeing much shifting, loud sighing, eyerolling, groaning and etc. from his lovely students.

Yes, I understand you're frustrated that class ran over time, but instead of being a silent dick about it, just raise your hand and say so, even if you think you're being rude! (For the record, all of the eyerolling and shit is a lot ruder than putting up your hand and saying, 'Excuse me Dr. Smith, but we're running over time.) Geeze, I had just noticed right before he did and was about to point it out when he beat me to the draw.

Aw the hell with it, just leave. I used to point at my watch. When lecturing I usually tasked one student to watch the clock and tell me if I was running late.

and then when they spoke you told them to drop and give you fifty right?

our mti's did that to us in basic.

Sergeants own everything and make time stand still. They never go over time. It's one of those powers granted when they become an NCO. :)

Professors and civilian type teachers you can just walk out on.

My rant today is about the stupidity of the mainstream media.

My question: What is more evil? Calling a basketball team "nappy headed hos" or making death threats on air? What is the greater evil? Making racist comments or threatening murder?

God. I feel like I live in the twilight zone.

Perhaps you do.

In the context of the actual "threats", the "racial" insult was actually the worse offence. Obviously.

The "threat" was in reality meaningless bluster, which almost all sensible people would recognize it as. The "racial" insult though, however it was intended, is a clear incitement to violence and "racial" tension.

So my aunt just called and informed us that a family friend just killed both his kids, and then himself. Apparently, he and his wife were getting a divorce and he was going to loose custody of them.

THAT is much worse…

Why do people treat kids as property like that? Killed to spite his partner. What a pathetic failure of a useless human being.

our civilian type teachers are retired people who did our jobs…all e7's and such. also walking out on of our classes would get us kicked out…

OMG, my sister is Anorexic! O_o

…or something. I dunno.
She's always had hypochondria nervosa, BUT it actually sounds like she might have a problem. Well she's had to have an operation and her digestive system isn't working properly…

She says it's because of a bad diet. >.>

It's tricky when you live a long way away from someone and they're being evasive. -_-

Don Imus said "nappy headed hos" in a small sentence. Almost in a mumbling manner. Not like Michael Reagan who said the death threats at least THREE TIMES.

I could imagine if it was the other way around. Lets say Alex Jones or Mark Dice calls for the assassination of neocons and/or any one of those who attended the Bilderberg meeting. He'd definitely be arrested in a few hours then he'd be put on national television and called a terrorist… as well as have his face in the front page of every newspaper in North America, Europe, and maybe in the foreign news section of publications all over the world. Then in the next week, there'd be alot of "special reports" on TV that start talking about "domestic terrorism".

See the double standard?

Anyway personally, I'd be more threatened if someone makes death threats than if someone says a racist comment.

Posted at 7:06AM, Jun. 17, 2008

You're taking it out of its context ;)

The so called "threat" was in response to a racialist taunt. Those taunts stir up just such reactions so it's irresponsible to use them.

In America, the medication I need would cost me $40 a month WITHOUT insurance.

In Canada it will cost me about $300 a month.

DOES ANYONE HERE SEE A FUCKING PROBLEM WITH THIS?

Isn't it usually the other way around? That's weird.

By "civilian type teachers" I meant those in the civilian world. When I taught I had a student watching the clock so I'd have warning adn could get the Home work assignment out.

In the Army once I made rank, my service schools were all "professional courtesy" as far as it went. If you had pressing business you could walk out. But it was on you to approach the instructor and explain your absence and make up the work. Rank had its priveledges and its responsibilites. I eventually became the guy in the front of that military classroom.

I think anyone who has a car accident on a major motorway and causes a jam or big slowdown should owe everyone stuck in that jam Ã‚Â£20 for every hour spent in the jam T_T

Then maybe I'd have a couple quid to pay for the petrol and wasted time I spent on the M6 today!

I feel un-motivated to work out. Or to finish coloring the second page to my comic.
:(

Posted at 3:06PM, Jun. 17, 2008

I am in agonizing pain. I feel like I've been punched in the gut several times and can barely move. That is all. I'm going to go crawl into bed now which will be a difficult task by itself. :(

Today I broke:

A cherished mug.

An uncle's car.

The same uncle's nose.

An electric fan.

A lawnmower.

Then I forgot a birthday and for some reason, I've been constantly thirsty.

It has not been a good day. Not for me, nor for anyone within a five mile radius of me.

Wow Custard. That's like all three stooges lives rolled into one horrible, yet funny day.

I think it's time for me to go on a short hiatus here. Somehow, life is going nuts and I'm winding up doing three times my previous load. Life was tough, but manageable, with a full-time job, design work and comics being my only major things to deal with, but now somehow I've ended up raising my nephew in place of his father which is essentially another full-time job, and I have to find a way to come up with about $15,000 for school next year. I just don't have the time or energy required to keep on doing it all every day. I hate the idea of having to stop making comics even for as a long as a week, but there's not much I can do, it seems.

i know a job that will pay for you college! MWHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAHAHAHHA.
i'll miss your comics if i ever find the energy to start reading them again.(in all fairness, i'm not really reading any comics right now, and it's making me sad…)
——

i mean, what's wrong with CAD? other than this newest story arc, i've found the comic overall quite funny. and suddenly everyone's starting to say that it's not funny…well you know what? the only funny person who say's it's not funny is custard. and custard is only funny some of the time.

and you know what else? i'm waiting on a package from UPS but alls the tracking number says is that it's out for delivery. since 502 am. darnit. isnt it fed ex that tells you a estimated time? UPS used to call the night prior and say, it'll be about this time. however, they didnt do that. and now? work is going to be pissed with me, cause i'm practically skipping out on my work. but they understand partially. because this package is for them.

I feel like a horrible person. I just deleted my entire rant because I realized that I was complaining about the maid being in my way. And that my starbucks card ran out today. Goddamn big scientist parents making me all spoiled and shallow. One of my family members killed themselves just a little while ago and my mom is all unstable now, and all I care about is having to be out of my room for half an hour while it's being cleaned. Which is essentially my fault anyways because I leave it so messy all the time. How f***ed up am I?

I hate to say it, but you're right. You're so lucky! Heck, I would leave my room without even blinking if I had a maid; I'd let her stay in there as long as she wants hahaha. I have to clean my own room, as well as the bathroom. I also do the laundry for everyone. And I handwash the dishes too; no dishwasher. I don't get an allowance. My family used to live with our grandparents, who are elderly and sick. I would have to walk my grandpa to the bathroom every hour. Man, you got it made.

You should thank your maid for her services, even though she already gets paid. I had a rich friend who would take her maid to lunch once a month, to thank her. I hope your maid speaks English though.

Nah you're ok.

I'm worse. Cuz I had a dream that I was a policeman in a police state. It was really fun feeling like the big kid in the schoolyard and getting all the pretty girls.

Too bad I had to wake up from that wonderful dream. Right at the time when me and my buddies were kicking the shit out of a homeless man in a wheelchair. :)

I just had 3 exams on maths.. That went for about 5-6 hours. Need I say more?

So I was just going to take the rubbish out, only to find that someone broke into our back yard and stole the fucking bin. Seriously. The woman I spoke on the phone told me it would take four fucking months to get new one, because bin theft is apparently very common, and that in the meantime we should leave the rubbish out in black binbags. Of course, we didn't have any. I asked her if it would be all right to leave it out in white ones we use (binbags are actually too big for the little bin we use inside the house) and she said no. I didn't press it because I know how anal garbage men are. Naturally, by the time I was finished talking to her and I'd gone to get some black binbags, the garbage men had already been.

BlEEGHergH!

I'm actually starting to wish I was still at college. Or better yet, that I wasn't still at college and the guy I was going to be sharing a house with hadn't suddenly decided he didn't like England and he wanted to live in Spain instead. Wanker.

I just woke up at 8:00 (11:04 now), by a policeman at my door, asking about a laptop that was stolen.

A reason that he did, is because it was during the last day of school that it was stolen, and it was my locker partner's laptop. So I told him the truth, and come to find out, what I said had NOTHING to do with the day it was stolen. But yet everybody from my Locker Partner's family believes it's me. But it's not. I have no laptop, nor would I ever steal one.

It's so unfair. They're threatning me to go to court, even the police officer did. I didn't do anything. Ugh.

Steal a different laptop, show it to the cop and say "See, clearly I couldn't have stolen his laptop! I was busy stealing THIS laptop!"
