mucho mucho apopologies

Well, if anyone ever does stumble upon my little rant here, first let me offer you my condolences me droogs. Sorry, this ain't anything special, just my inner thoughts dropped onto the internet. Ah, yes, the net, where anyone can be an asshole and hide behind their keyboard. Well, I apologize if this is ever poorly thought out, written or just plain annoying. It's ranting, rambling thoughts with no filter or spell check or editing tossed on top. I doubt I'm any different from the many millions who do this and think they're hot dog shit. So, if you like it, thanks and if not, move along, move along, these aren't the droids you're looking for....

Me cat. 

Octopussy?!

So the cat has a name. Nothing cute or geeky. No Star Wars characters or Trek characters. It's not a girl, so nothing cool like Pussy Galore or Octopussy. No, it's a boy so he's Felix. Felix the cat. Wait, that is mildly geeky. But really he's Felix Leiter. James Bond's best friend. Now all he has to do is gain a little weight and learn to get by when I'm not home. Let's see how he does.

The new Revolution? 

Hwhhhatt?

So Nintendo unveiled their brand new controllor for their latest system Revolution and well, it's a fucking remote control. Yeah. Designed to be used with one hand. The system is minimal with no analog stick and can actually be waved to make things move on the screen. So now you don't just push buttons, but you move your whole body. Get ready to fuck up a lot by accidently moving during gameplay. And if you do want an anolog stick, plug one in and have a thing in each hand. Uggh...not sure what to think yet, but innovation might just kill this thing. I don't know what hand to use, but I do know the remote is not the most comfortable thing to have in my hand when I'm doing more than just navigating a menu. For now this looks like a damn cool remote, but otherwise take me off the preorder list for this thing. Nintendo, I'm done.

Chuseok!

This is a four day weekend for me here in the ROK. It's the Korean thanksgiving holiday, known as Chuseok. Plenty fo traffic, too much congestion and deserted streets. Lots will be closed, but all that matters is I get time off to sit and play games. Me like that as the kids would say. No of course, it's a holiday and one of the big two for Korea, so work gave us gifts. A nice, big case of SPAM. This must be the only country that actually doesn't laugh at the "food." So I have a big gift pack sitting in my kitchen. Perfect cat food I guess.

cat!

Got myself a pet. Felt a little lonely, maybe a little crazy, so I procured an animal. A nice, cheap little kitten. So far I haven't killed it. He's doing good, running, playing and sleeping plenty. I keep him in my bathroom when I'm at work so he won't get into too much trouble and then when I'm home he lays on my lap. Now I have two mouths to feed. Damn.

Refugee?

So, what do we call those people fucked over by good old Katrina? Survivors for sure. Right? Yeah, they survived. But they are also now homeless and forced to flee to somewhere else. Hence they are refugees. But, oh, that's a bad word, right? No, it's not. It's a simple, descriptive word. They are refugees. And there is no shame there. Yet why do so many out there think this is a bad word, an insult? Why does Oprah say they are not? Well, it's simple. These people are Americans. And therefore too good to be labelled as refugees. Refugees are foreigners. Period. They are refugees, we are survivors. We will prevail. Why? Cause we are Americans! Fuck yeah! It's kind of disgusting that during this crisis we have people bitching over a simple word. Kind of makes one sick to be an American when even when a horrible tragedy unfolds, we still have to distance ourselves from those around the world who face these same things. As if we're too good for shit like this to happen. Like it's different for us. Well, it's not. Bad shit happens to everyone. These people are refugees and there is no shame in that title. But there is shame in making one victim more worthy than another. A survivor is a survivor. They all made it and they all need help, whether they are American or not. And a displaced NO native is no different than a Tsunami victim. So get over the world touchy feely Americans. Now is not the time for American superiority. Now is the time for Humanity.

Fuct!

So, I had to give some money to those people in New Orleans. I felt bad, I guess. After all this is one major clusterfuck that should not have ever happened. So, it got to me. Someone has to help out down there and GW sure ain't doing enough. But it is nice to know he cut his vacation short to go sit around in the White House and think about helping. Wow, and it's good to know he's cut down his sitting in the chair time to just minutes. He's growing up so fast! This is a disaster in a major American city in the 21st century that would not have happened if the US government worked right. But, no, FEMA was not ready for this and now, well, you've seen the pictures....so get off your ass and give. Money. Bitches.
