I posted a list of the 10 things I need to move forward/survive/deal with on my wordpress.com main blog. Let's revisit that now, shall we?
1. Laptop- Fried it. Typing on my mom's laptop, my bro's computer or my grandmother's computer until I can get it fixed and hopefully everything on it back.
2. Small Notebooks- Still have these strewn about randomly in jackets. Very handy.
3. Travel Disk/Atomsk- Snapped it in an unfortunate accident before my laptop. Hopefully, ALL of the data on it can be recovered by some geek. Will probably run me about $300 to even attempt and recover some. Unemployment isn't fun.
4. Vaultz- Still by my bedside, still doing it's job.
5. IRiver- Need batteries and a CD so I can update some of the music but mostly good.
6. Cellphone- Updated to BlackBerry. Good look.
7. Dogtag- Still pressed against my flesh. Want to get a duo of new ones one day soon.
8. Digital Camera- Acting hinky. Will be using my BB until I figure out " what up with that " or can get a new one.
9. Wallet- Right here in my pocket but filled with a library card, a weird license, cards that don't work and zero cash. Yeah. I'm a catch. Ladies?
10. Bookbag- Still have it. Still carrying my books and shite.
With all the missing or broken things, I wonder how this may be seen on a commentary on my current life condition. Hmmmm.....

Just Some Rules.....
Because we all need rules. Even Lillian.
-Think hard before you wear skinny or boot cut jeans. Seriously. Contemplate it. Is that look going to work for you? Yeah. Didn't think so. Take off that tight ass shirt, too.
-The Golden Rule. It's real and the basis for most other rules. Pretty much if you follow that then you are 95% in the clear.
-Mohawks. Only four kinds of people are able to rock this kind of haircut- little kids, punk rockers, Native Americans and Mr. T. Everyone else, CUT THAT SHIT OUT! I don't care if your friends think your "faux-hawk" is cool. You look like a douche AND a Night Elf Mohawk.
-Don't talk shit. Look carefully at that guy whose mother you are about to insult. Outweighs you by about 30 pounds, right? Do you really wanna do this? No, you don't.
Listen, everyone believes they are tough and I get that. Sometimes you have to check to see where you are at on the toughness scale. Most of the times, though, you know when you are fighting in the wrong weight class. Walk away.
Also, ladies in the bar- stop it. Stop talking shit to dudes. I wouldn't talk shit to a 7 ft tall MMA fighter. I know the consequences. You think that there are no consequences and that is the issue. There MIGHT not be a dude that lays hands on you but no one respects the craziness for any reason.
-Don't let anybody eat your cornbread. On the other hand, sometimes you are put into situations where you have not instigated the scenario. You can walk away most of the time but never give up yourself in the moment. Be the bigger person whenever you can. But don't back down without standing up for yourself a bit.
-Silence is golden. Sometimes speaking up is ABSOLUTELY necessary. Most of the time, the better option is keeping it shut.
-Women- Don't ask if you look fat or if an outfit makes you look fat. Stop it. You know the answer.
-Men- Don't ask how many guys your girl has been with. There is no correct answer. Get over it. She is with you now.
-If you want to be single, BE SINGLE. Don't be greedy, don't cheat, don't lie and don't lead people on.
-Take care of your kids. That means more than just giving them money (but do that too). Keep them out of trouble as much as you can and support them emotionally.
-The Twilight book series isn't good. Not a rule; I'm just sayin'.
-If you are over 25, stop fighting, particularly in public. We use grown-up things like words nowadays. Of course, this changes with liquor in your situation but still, try and chill out.
-Have a way out.
-Muffin tops- ehh, not cute and only good in this, this or this context, with Ghostface. Wear clothes that fit.
-You can be friends with your exes. It just takes time and some effort if you want to. Sometimes it's worth it; sometimes it's not. The general rule, which varies depending on how deep your relationship was emotionally, it that it takes at least half the time you were going out to get over that person.
-Men and women are different- DEAL WITH IT. Testosterone is a drug that men are trying to suppress. That's why we are quiet most of the time- we are in our heads trying to talk ourselves out of doing the dumb shite. Testosterone makes you dumb. Estrogen is also a drug and has (mostly) the opposite effect of testosterone. It makes you very empathetic....and crazy.
-Get a friend of the opposite sex. Magazines like Cosmo and Maxim are dumb because they don't really ask people of the opposite gender how they feel. You'll never understand men or women if you just stay in your circle and won't get any valuable advice.
-Stop ending all online statements with LOL. Especially grown ass men. Stop it.
-Think hard before you wear skinny or boot cut jeans. Seriously. Contemplate it. Is that look going to work for you? Yeah. Didn't think so. Take off that tight ass shirt, too.

Let's do it again....
Posted this last year. Still pretty much true....
Never really want anything for my birthday , except liks and a drama-free night, and generally live a very spartan lifestyle but feel free to get me anything, like something off the list below. if not, no worries, I'll get it myself one day soon....
- artwork by James Jean- the dude is awesome really awesome. plus, I figure I'm kinda a grown-up so I should have art of some kind. his Taciturn series is great.
- BSG Posters- pretty cheap and I'm a HUGE BSG nerd. Plus, it's just a classic look. January 16, 2009- I'm just counting down the days. or this. or this. or even this or this. told u I'm a nerd about it.
- luchadore skully- CANNOT even find this anywhere but I want it because it rocks. hell. if you can find it, just send me the link and I'll get it myself.
- half the stuff on this page. if I could, I would wear just t-shirts, hoodies, jeans, sweats and cargo pants. that's one of my life goals- to dress as comfortable as possible.
and yeah, that's about it. Told you I'm simple. I'll take anything though and just appreciate it because it came from the heart. Thanx and feel free to ignore this. Or pay my rent. I mean feel free to do what you want to do. It's cool with me.
BTW- Christmas is coming too. Just saying.

Sparkly Vampires and Ethnic Werewolves
RANTRANTRANTRANTRANTRANT
Stephenie Meyer writes the dreams of teenage girls and that speaks to grown women. Just ask my female friends. It is because we are all still 14 at heart. We are all pretty much still that scared. embarrassed, awkward person we were in junior high school or high school until we become fearless. Most of us aren't or don't achieve that which is why these books/movies are a hit
I don't think she is alone in this. A lot of things capitolize on this thinking. Rom coms do it (and I love em) but everyone knows it's bs and it's not as stalkerish or weird as the weird teen fiction that is pushed by this.
I just think that what teenage girls like isnt healthy. That's why they have entire talk shows devoted to their poor decision making.
