I like reading up on everyone and their status, but it seems like facebook is more popular.
So... add me on facebook so I can keep up with your life! :)

I walked up to the digging crew and asked to join in but they told me I needed a digging license. I don't think that's a real thing but I got one anyway and now I can dig anywhere within the northern hemisphere. My first project was a five foot deep trench from my home to yours. My house to yours. What should we fill the trench with? Water? Warmth? Grab an end of the trench and stand it up on end, then put some twists in it and add water. It's a fast and easy water slide that you can make at home.
Please describe other ways to have fun with digging.

About a year ago I arranged a meeting for several Nexus players that lived in and around my city. I think it was eight or nine people in total. We met outside my apartment, and I invited everyone in for tea. I was cooking up some reshteh khoshkar (I'm a pastry chef) when my roommate came out to see what all the noise was about.
"Who are these dorks? Are these your game friends? Haha, who wants to fight?" He flexed his biceps and his shirt ripped off. We sat in stunned silence for a couple beats, and then Kyashidi jumped up and grabbed onto a light fixture in the ceiling and swung from it. She did a backflip in the air and landed on my roommate's shoulders and started punching wildly at his head with both of her fists.
By this time Blason had pulled out his phone and called the cops, and they arrived instantly through the water pipes as liquid cop and the house filled up to the third notch on my table leg, which is higher than the flood from several years ago. The cops began to solidify and Kyashidi noticed, so she jumped off of my roommate and dove into the water. I broke apart into individual particles and became an ancient river flowing through my kitchen; it felt like dying.
I didn't recognize my self again until the next day so I didn't experience the rest of the meet first hand, but I heard it went pretty well. Friendship bracelets were exchanged.

| cat workout tips and tricks |
[05 Sep 2009|02:26am] |
Get your kitty into the gym and pumping iron, buff cat time!
COMPOUND MOVEMENTS! how do you get that cat to do deadlifts?? Easy, ego-death. Dissociate yourself and experience what it's like to be a cat with one goal in mind: ripped/toned muscle mass. Kitty abs and kitty biceps in your face and flexing. Take what you learned and apply it to bench presses and squats as well. Now that cat is a powerlifting cat and you can be proud to take it to all your favorite hangouts, or as muscle in a shady deal in a dim alley in a foggy mist. Criminals cower 'cause cats can cause chaos - thanks to bulging quads and pecs.

Tragedy: A word that comes to mind when recalling the events at an L.A. Fitness in Pittsburgh which claimed the lives of three people. The tragedy continues in the lives of those effected by the shooting After the story leaves the news cycle, not just for those who lost loved ones, but for those injured.
Take the story of Heather Sherba who found herself on the receiving end of a two bullets, one ricocheting into her teeth, the other passing through one leg, then grazing the other. While living through that is bad enough, Heather now gets to deal with the reality potentially 47 million Americans (15% of our population) face: being uninsured.
Heather is a twenty-two year old recent college graduate who cannot be signed on to her parents insurance plan, hasn't found a job with insurance, cannot afford a private individual insurance plan, and doesn't qualify for Medicaid. She, like many other recent college graduates, thought she could do without insurance until finding landing a job where the employer pays for the bulk of her coverage. This major flaw in Heathers life leaves her, and a sizable portion of Americans, without coverage simply because rules from insurance companies, and current laws by the government, prevent it.
Heather, still recovering from her injuries, relies on the kindness of her friends and strangers to raise money to help her pay her medical bills, the most recent being a car wash which accepted donations.
This story is not singular, and this story is not rare. It's sad that we live in the richest nation on earth, but continually see stories like this these in the news by ordinary, working Americans. Whether it be those who can't afford insurance premiums so they do without insurance, or those who thought they were lucky enough to afford insurance, only to find their plan doesn't cover preexisting conditions, or won't pay all of their bills because they've hit a cash limit.
If people can look deep into their hearts to be there for a strangers when their story is publicized and donate a few dollars, why can't they do the same for millions of their neighbors by simply backing any number of options which cover every American? Be it a public option or a single payer system, why is it suddenly a problem when money raised to help fellow Americans is levied as a tax for the common good of the nation?
Everyone deserves to live a healthy life. Believing that one should be able to pick and choose which sad story to benefit through a donation is worse than the imaginary death panels these twisted individuals delude themselves into believing.
The shootings in Pittsburgh were a tragedy, especially for the community involved; the sad state of the pathetic excuse we have for a health care system is a tragedy for our nation. Take a stand, and at least back a public option for everyone to be covered under; take a leap and keep pushing, until death, for a single payer system. It's time we show respect for all Americans, regardless their job or how much money they make.

This made me lulz.
"I recently got out of a bad relationship (I know that's a bad start but rest assured that I wasn't the bulshit game player). I'm looking to get back on the horse and try again. I have to say that you're probably just as outspoken and full of yourself as I am.
Having that been said, I'd like to get to know you more and see if you're Mr. Right.
PS you're prety good looking too, that doesn't hurt."
I responded back with 'This is dripping with fail'.

| After almost three months I can feel at ease... |
[01 Aug 2009|05:55pm] |
I beat my former employer at my hearing to contest my denial of unemployment! :)
Not that I was relying on the fact that I'd win to make sure bills are paid, but it feels good to know that all the penny pinching in the last three months, despite over 50 applications and a few interviews finally has a pay off.
I finally have money to give my parents, a cushion to make sure bills are paid, and some peace of mind that I'm not going to be royally fucked once school starts this month.
Sometimes things work out. Just takes time and a little work to get it right.

is it possible that lunch could exist forever? no. every lunch dies and every soup bowl loses flavor and there is nothing you can do about it. this is the end of lunch history and the end of the peace process. my perspective is generally ground-level, but at times it's necessary to dig a little bit.
if you know where to look you'll find a network of tunnels and lunch stockpiles throughout nexus, ready to go for when the people's war starts. I stick my head above ground like a little furrytunnel animal and scan the horizon. My glasses are fogged and my beard contains thousands of insect species and my body is 87% mud and stick. I pull myself out of the tunnel and start to walk. With each step my mudfeet sink into the earth and I lose some of what I had, but gain some of what is in that spot. At one moment my feet could contain trash and sand, the next bits of plant and rocks. I use my armsticks like crutches, balancing on mud is difficult. Speaking is something I forgot how to do ages ago, and my lunch collection is useless: I couldn't eat lunch if I tried, since my mouth doesn't quite work. Still, each lunch will be collected and archived.

Anyone here ever contest a denial for unemployment?
I need to know what to expect, what I should do, and how I should prepare, since it's broke ass me versus a corporation with lawyers representing them.
Please advise.

It's a trend, let me tell you, opinions being had at all hours of the night along the coastline trending towards drifting vogue. Where do they come from? The opinions. The following has been translated faithfully and I fully vouch for it:
"I pray thee, tell unto me what is the price of this dragon?"
Mount the dragon and retrieve the sorrows. The price is Nexus, and you must have opinion. It is your right as a Nexus thing to put your opinion in the boards but tell me, do you even know how without making yourself vulnerable to Vicious Assaults? I do. I know things like that, and here's part of the secret:
[RetsnoM]:Zbs
[Bmouse]: what's best place to leech non 99er? thanks
[Ayreon]: Buying a pair of Shee lee rings.
Thank you. Please allow/encourage this to happen. bizhan.

The heavens recognize these threads.
During this entire endeavor, we have always pressed forward. This inevitable conquest from the present into the future is something we've anticipated, and used to our advantage.
Our souls are bound by life's silver threads, which are eventually cut by Fate. Given this, one must question what spins the origin of each thread.
The answer to this is simple: Time.
Time tells what is in store for each of us, and it is Time that weaves the experiences into what we are and what will eventually become.
Have you ever wondered why the 'soul mate' term was coins?
A soul is composed of fragments sewn together by life's silver thread.
When the thread is cut, a soul's fragments can potentially disperse, thus creating duplicates of the same soul. With that, you can deduce the true meaning of a 'soul mate.'
If fragments of ourselves are stored in vacant souls, we will always have a presence to relive and defeat our demons.
Our souls are only fragments, so do not take offense if we do not recall who each other are.
