One of Bob's little end of the semester reports was about what i want to do when i grow up (physically) and how to get there. it was quite interesting. in researching this i met a lot of interesting people (through the internet) and, well, didn't realy go anywhere, but met a lot of interesting people. for those of you who don't know Bob plans on being a police officer, SWAT unit specificly, but before i can do that i will be a simple street cop for at least 5 years. i'm pretty sure that's what i want to do. the choice has realy been law enforcement or military for me, and since i can't join the army due to some phisical restrictions i am going with a law enforcement career. i contacted some SWAt team members and read some articles they wrote, and they all ended up pointing to the same things: hard work, not enough pay, amazingly rewarding. depending on the area a SWAT team may be called in once every week or so for drug busts, hostage standoffs and any dangerous situation. of these the most rewarding is said to be hostage standoffs, in which the officers get to see first-hand the person they saved. the most obvious problem with this is, of course, the mortality rate. one video that i found especialy moving follows below. i should warn you it is extremely graphic, lots of real-life shootouts and deaths, although all the officers survived.
this is the only problem with becoming a police officer. these officers are hardly remembered and appreciated. many people dislike the police and most don't appreciate what they do (that being keeping those perps from killing you or me), they see them as being around to spoil parties and give speeding tickets. those that do get attention are the ones the media portrays as dirty cops, regardless of whether they are or not. such is the case with a New Jersey man shot by an officer after aiming a high-powered rifle at him. as the man lifted the rifle to his shouolder the officer fired and killed him. he was portrayed as a monster who went around strangling kittens and shooting sweet little men in wheelchairs. the same goes for those who shoot armed children. when one is on the wrong end of a gun one does not stop to think "oh, it's a child behind that loaded weapon, i'd better let him shoot me." the police do far more for us than we realize. every officer in that video took that bullet for you and every other defenceless citizen out there.
okay, ibtter angry-at-society rant over now.

Ha, I don't know why this made my giggle, but at my job there is a security guy who is really tall, and skinny as a stick with glasses!!
He is not intimidating whatsoever.
It's just funny to see him come in the store (which he is not supposed to do) and geek out at all the anime stuff.
Our mall security is only good for telling the patrons that the mall is now closing and would they please leave.
heehee. rent-a-cops, mall-cops, they're so cute. don't you love how they swaggar around like they have any more authority than the chashiers? funny, sin't it.
Yes! I love the rent-a-cops! Their only job is to call the real cops, and even that they screw up.
I probably have more authority than the security.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LLAMA LOL LLAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LLAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!
you do if you're an employee. seriously,you could order that guy out of there if you wanted to.
oh dear. well, all i can do is join in. GGGGGGGRRRRAHHHGRAAA!
Yeah I can. I'm going to start "joking" with him and begging him to do his job.
Maybe he'll think I'm hitting on him and he'll actually do it.
AAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!
BBBBBBBLLLLLLAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHGGGGGGHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRHHHHHH.........
sorry. i felt left ouy again.
ya, twirl your hair, flutter your eyelashes, smile nicely and tell him to go do something useful. heehee.
YYYAAAAAARFABIBBLE!!!!
That might work. I mean, he must like girls that work there right? We all look kinda funky.
I'm pretty enough I can pull it off.
Oh who am I kidding, I'm gorgeous!
;)
EEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
(you know i would go outside and scream at the top of my lungs if i lived in the middle of nowhere. but for now i will wait for fear of my neighbours calling the police.)
you could. next time he bugs you try it.
graaaadarraaaaa
i'll do that anyway, my neighbors already know i'm insane.
oh yeah, craziness if you're around, are you still using your youtube? just wondering.
I'm going to have to because he stands really close and breathes on me. And he looks at me funny and hikes his security gaurd belt up.
*Shudders*
Iiiiiiccckkk......
I might work on Wed, so I'll keep you posted.
uh, yeah, it's just that sometimes i don't feel like going on the mcfly sucks vid. sometimes i just don't feel like it, and sometimes i do. it all depends. i'll respond to your emails now.
heehee, raly, he hikes his belt/ that is so funny. if it were me i'd yell "harassment" and hit him with a stun gun.
please do, it sounds very fun.
harooooong!
okay, just haven't seen you around much, don't blame you for not going on my vid, it can take a bit out of a person. but great if you're pissed.
oh boy! drug bust! i have a little county park down the street from me where all the stoners hang otu and get high with pisses me off. they leave their joints and bottles around and trash everything and make families scared to come there. it can get pretty bad, i refuse to go on weekdayts from 1-4 unarmed, that's when the realy nasty types come out. but anyway the cops did a drug bust and got 5 of them today! that realy makes bob happy.
He's so weird.
I'm hoping I don't have to work tomorrow so I don't have to see him.
And if I stole his stun gun (if he has one, if he does I'm going to be worried) then he could place me under arrest and call the police!!
dang. he wouldn't have a stun gun, mallcops are so sad they don't get to be armed with anything more than a flashlight. actualy pepper spray would be better. get some pepper spray and make him bugger off that way.
I didn't go to work today. I twisted my ankle last night, did something to my knee, my sister slammed the back of her freaking head into my mouth which has braces, and I felt sick all day like I might throw up. So needless to say there was no way I was coming in unless I ABSOLUTELY had to.
And if I mispelled anything I apologise.
sounds nasty. hope ya feel better soon.
teehee, here you don't have to appologize if there are any misspelligs. seriously, look at most of my posts, i write them at 1 am and don't bother to edit them so at least 75% of my posts have some serious gramatikle errors.
i am now very pissed off at the stoners who come to the park as they have started going armed. i don't think they've ever done that before. i may have to bottlerocket them tonight.
I do not like making spelling errors. I find that messy spelling is lazy and not bothering to correct it is even lazier.
But that's just me.
Yeah, I had a terrible few days. I felt really sick and then I got a ton of injuries which just made things worse.
I got in the pool, thinking maybe I would feel a little better, it didn't work. I felt worse after I got out. I thought for sure I was going to barf all over.
I'm better now, I got some sleep, ate some healthy stuff and drank coffee and I felt fine.
Who wants to hear new news on my securty gaurd guy?!
Good because I'm telling you anyway.
He just picked up a new job at a club downtown. I've been to this club numerous times, and there is a rough crowd there. The last few times I've been I have gone alone which is not the smartest idea.
Needless to say he wont be any help.
He is also only 18 years old, and will be 19 in three days.
I also found out he was banned from the store unless he was on breaks, but if the store manager is not in, I think he is coming in when he is not on breaks.
I still don't know his name, and I don't really care to, but it would be nice to know so I'm not always thinking about it.
I think it's Brian or Ryan or something.
Freaking kid...
i just let word pick up all my spelling errors regularly so i don't notice when i mess up on the net.
nice. sorry i have not been on lately. Ethan graduated and we have been setting up his party and all that crap a lot so i have had no time to talk to people.
i do i do! please tell.
sounds like a weird kid. he should probably take some training or something if he's working a rought club, we just had a shooting at one around here.
today was ethan's grad party and i had a very good time. i wish craziness had been there the whole time, it was raining and we started doing push-ups in the flooding street, hitchiking and all that fun stuff. we all got completely drenched and began giving people hugs.
you realy should have stayed it would have been awesome. as you have experienced rain makes people hyper and crazy.
since i don't remember if you were there when this happened i will talk about it anyway, if for no other reason than for aiden to get an idea of what bob and his idiot friends do when they get bored. maybe this happened right after you left...i don't remember, but anyway we got very bored and started running through people's yards and leaping fences. it was very fun and very spontanious and we got some guy screaming at us by the end. it realy was very awesome.
got to go, perhaps i will talk mare later if i can get back to my warm and comfy screen.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wish i'd been there!!!!!!!!!!! i really really really wish i'd been there........ aw......... gosh that's disappointing. Zeke...... i really wish i'd been there. sounds like so much intense fun. hey you. i want to go to your house. our house, you can't have a fire anymore, my parents for the sake of selling the house filled in the firepit. so it's boring at my house now. i wanted to do crazy things in the rain!!!! but my mom said i couldn't because she's the one who does laundry. oops, gtg goodnight i think i'm in trouble for being on this late
yiykes. it realy was pretty aweseome. we kept running through peoples yards and leaping fences (all the while soaking wet). we almost got in serious trouble when we jumped a fence and while jumping it Sarah fell on her butt and some guy runs out of the house screaming at us, but thankfully we got away.
oh yeah, and as we were about to go we decided we needed one more big fun thing so we went across the street and ran screaming around the high school a few times. scared the crap out of the janitor.
and more good news, i am done with school! finnished up my last algebra lesson and final science test and i am now done for the summer which feels very nice. i may have to sleep until 3:00 pm tomorrow in celebration.
LUCKY. *sulks.
*pats head comfortingly* there is plent more retarted spantanious cold-catching where that came from. hang around me long enough and you do a lot of things you regret later ;)
He just shouldn't be a security gaurd. I think he thinks it makes him cool.
It doesn't.
Yay! Ethan graduated!!
Wooo!!
i generally don't regret the crazy-happy things i do. it's the crazy depressed things i do and say that i regret most.
yeah, you're lucky about the craziness and you're also lucky that school ended for you. i have tomorrow, the day after that, the day after that, the day after that, and then finals. ugh.
woot!
no, he shouldn't maybe in a few years but now he's just a kid who should be at mcdonalds or something.
good point. however some of the crazy-happy things done with me can be regreted. half the time you wake up on a roof, a dozen energy drink cans around you and several burns you didn't have before. plus a lot of new enemies. but it's still fun.
owch...finals.
Ha ha, I don't have to go to school until I want to.
I don't /do feel bad for kids in school.
They don't get the right life experience.
But then again, they get social skills.
It's a tough situation. I think that's one of the reasons I'm having a slight hard time at work.
Craziness, I hope you do very good on finals!!
Yeah, our security gaurd should not be a security gaurd. He honestly should be working in a game store.
dude.... that would not even be possible. but i'm sure there are lots of other things i could do with you which i might later regret.
about the thing in july: i'm not bringing a friend, or if i do, i'm bringing this girl who is not really a close friend of mine, but she's fun and i think you guys would get along. my other friend (translation: only other friend i feel comfortable inviting [translation again: my best friend other than you]) is just SO opinionated and SO optimistic and SO politically liberal and SO anti-risk-taking and SO the opposite of you, that i don't think it'd work out. i mean, i love both of you, and would love to spend the day with either of you, but definitely not both at the same time. that, i think, would be disastrous.
that st karaoke vid SUCKED. how could you think i'd like that crap, and not like flogging molly? honestly, sir, you insult my taste in entertainment/music.
i can't wait for school to get out..... ARGH!!!!!! i can't wait to start moving! i can't wait to see you!!! I HATE SCHOOL!!!!! MY BRAIN AT THIS POINT IN THE YEAR IS DEAD, WHY DO THEY TORTURE US WITH FINALS!?!?!?!?!?!! *mutters angrily*
\\//. oh, guess who hung up on me yesterday. no, seriously guess. my best friend. who else would hang up on me?! other than N's mom...... what a frikkin' LAME way to end a relationship.
wanna know what else about that kid?! okay, so last friday he was basically running away from me.... i entered a conversation with people we're both friendly with when he was there, and as soon as i entered, he exited. okay, so yesterday, on monday, he deliberately entered a conversation i was part of. didn't speak to me at all, of course, but still......
inconsistency in people's behavior annoys me. although someone i ranted to about that told me that maybe he's making baby steps toward reconcilation. but whatever it is, i really don't care. well, yes i do, but....
hey, i'll see you later okay? i am quite tired. i tried to get up at three in the morning... it didn't go so well, but i got practically no sleep anyway. yeah, bye.
indeed, do well!
maybe he should run security for his little brother's treeouse but other than that he shouldn't be doing it.
i don't know, i for one would enjoy the arguements, but still good idea.
i don't know what i was thingking with the kareoke, just that it was star trek and i think included spok so i shoudl send ti to you. and i (yes, wrongly) deduced from the fact that you liked Abba that you wouldn't be into something like Flogging Molly. yes, i have no sense of what music/entertainment you like. but then again i don't have a sense of that when it comes to...wel...anyone.
yeah, i think they should let kids off at the end of april/beginning of may, because at that point your brain has soaked up so much useless crap that it need some time to rest before it takes in more, that's why they invented summer break. however they invented it a month or so too short.
does she know about your thing with people hanging up on you? if so that was terribly evil.
huh. sounds to me like he's trying to make up his mind about what to do. he probably isn't sure what to think or do or how to act. give it some time and you'll fall into a norm.
right now he needs space. let him decide how things go, and after he has some time to think and figures out hwat he thinks and feels then you will be able to tell and things will get better. when you find yourself not noticing it at things will stay the way they are and after a while things will either move foreward (towarsds reconciliation) or you two just move far apart and don't enter each other's minds for a while. i don't know, that's just how it went with me.
goodnight. ah, nice day for me, first good tuesday in a while. lots of biking/scaring stoners/energy drink consuming. gtood day.
i will do well, thanks.
*I* would not enjoy the arguments. And neither would she. So, good idea is right!
I don't really know what I like yet either. I don't think I've explored enough to really know.
damn right they invented summer vacation a month too short!
N's mom?! she didn't know. i hadn't talked to N on the phone ever. i had talked to J on the phone for about five minutes about school (i missed the class we shared and there was a test the next day and i needed to know what we covered). so, yeah, there was no way she could know.
if you mean E (my friend, the one mentioned in beginning of post) yes, she knew. she hung up on me because i said 'people are evil'. she was trying to tell me people were basically good. so i disputed that. but of course that was all mixed in with my depression and self-hating attitudes etc. so she hung up on me.
i started crying and called her back. and asked her how she could do that when she knew about it. and she just said she got mad and she didn't want to start yelling at me (and trust me, she would get very angry) if she didn't hang up. and it was just a way of ensuring that the ensuing argument was somewhat rational on her part.
i think i would prefer irrational angry screaming. maybe i'll tell her that next time i see her.
about N: i know.
sounds like a good day! speaking of which, goodnight.
oh hey, i had a pretty good day myself. i wore my hat to school, got excused for about half of my classes due to a mistake on the part of my slc office's secretary (slc stands for small learning community, doesn't that just make you want to throw up?!)
but anyway, i wore my hat, got called as pretty as Helen (this annoying guy was writing rhymes about pretty much everyone who walked in the door, i doubt he meant it, and besides which he's gay so i don't suppose he's much of a judge of female beauty)
my new pants are much too loose. they will be okay once i wash them a couple times, i know that for a fact. but i am currently having to hold my pants up with a bag clip and it's somewhat amusing to me and others.
in short, i had a good day too.
er..... smaller learning community, or some other complete bs
hate to say it but people aren't basicly good. has she ever studied anarchists? the philosophy behind the govermental system, er, nongovernmental system of anarchy is that if people are left to their own devices and the government doesn't mess with their lives everything will be okay because deep down everyone is good and wants to help each other. as history has shown that is ver, very wrong. hate to break it to her but not all people are good.
irrational angry screaming is so fun...
heh, know about these things from very nasty experience, maybe i can be some help.
*pukes*
actualy gay guys are good judges of feminine beauty. i don't know how that works but i've been told...
wow, good biorhythem day.
i have loose pants too. i hate that.
i should probably sleep soon. i have a freind (you met him at Smelly's graduation, long hair, skinny kid, tried to climb the roof) who runs the paper rout around my house at 4:30 so i'm seeing if i can stay up and see him without the use of caffine. about an hour to go, thrice does a good job of keeping me up.
oh! one more thing! this will probably mean nother to craziness but it should have some effect on aiden and any of my mouthhouse/higher things friend lurking (yes, i see you...):
Raise My Handa and Sway II is coming soon! somehow i was reinvited to the sad little fundimentalist "jeus is my back-up singer" retreat again. it's the 23rd or 24th or something so i'll probably have the post up a day or two after as i need a full 24 hours to sleep afterward. this time i intend on a bit more ranting as i am especialy pissed off at the fundigelicals of late.
So much goes on in the course of a night when I'm not paying attention.
Translation, passed out on my floor with the TV on as Craig Ferguson plays right near my head.
Oh well.
I've missed too much, I can't catch up.
i've passed out on craig fergison too. maybe something about his accent...
okay, the basic idea of what has transpired here goes as follows:
first, we discussed weird things that would make no sense to you and also be very boring. second, we agreed that we hate loose pants, we both had good days yesterday (btw, how was your day yesterday, i'm interested to see if we had some sort of world-wide good day) and then b*tched about what went wrong. we also dicussed why exactly gay guys are a good judge of female beauty and the lame idea that all people are basicly good deep down.
that just about sums it up. sad, ios it not?
hey hey. i'm crazy. season 3 of star trek tos is crap. seasons 1 and 2 are good overall. i'm bored now. argh.
Actually no, it's not sad. I've had worse conversations over stupider things that has laster for quite a while.
Yesterday was actually an okay day. I spent most of it half asleep, which is something I always enjoy.
(The heat just kicked on in my house...??)
I think spending my day half asleep and not actually taking a nap may have been the reason I fell asleep during Craig Ferguson. Because I always watch Craig Ferguson. I love his accent.
So yeah I think it was a worldwide good day.
All people are not basically good deep down. There are people who will kill and not think twice about who they hurt and why they did it.
Deep down they are crazed psycopaths who need help and constant care and attention.
I also can't stand baggy pants. I hate seeing thuggy guys wearing their pants all the way down. Why can't people wear their pants on their hips like everyone elese?
Some of my jeans are a little big, and I need to wear a belt. Often times I forget the belt and walk around hoisting my pants up all the time because they are falling off my ass.
Because gay guys are really women in their minds, not men. So therefore they think more like a woman. Most of the time you'll notice they really do know what they are talking about, and women don't.
okay, i shall keep that in mind.
creepy. now i have to find someone who didn't have a good day.
exactly. come people are good, some bad, that's just how it works. saying that all are one way is very ignorant. the key words here: origional sin. we are selfish by nature but we can learn out of that, and most people do. humbug.
i hate that too, it always makes me want to pants them. i don't know how they keep them on anyway, must be some sort of balancing act.
i do that too, hoist my pants up constantly. it annoys me because if i piss someone off and end up having to run they'll fall right down!
that reminds me of my hunter safety class. the guy teaching it always forgot his belt so every sentence or two he would have to pull up his pants. "well let's see..." *pulls up pants* "if you look at page two here you can see that" *pulls up pants* "in the prone position-" *pulls up pants* etc.
ahah! what would we do without you? i guess be stumped by gay guy questions.
there was this thuggy guy with baggy pants in my study hall and his pants actually fell down! i laughed.
that is awesome.
Amazing. I'm sad I wasn't there.
Speaking of baggy pants...
I had the stragest expeirence today.
I'm sitting outside the mall (long story, needless to day I didn't need to come in to work) and this guy comes up with baggy pants and starts hitting on me.
He was skinny and tall and he was really annoying and kept talking about weed and how he smoked it all the time and that's why he was a chef.
I wanted to get away so bad.
I am so happy to be home.
creepy. soemone ever does that tell him your dad's a cop and they'll run away, sometimes quite literaly.
good idea..... hey, that could solve a lot of problems! goodnight, all.
I'm just not going to sit outisde the mall anymore. And if I do I'm going to look busy.
How have you all been?
pretty good. i'm listening to rammstein right now. you like them? other than that i'm bored. i'm supposed to be studying for finals, but really i'm listening to music on youtube. ;) i only have two finals that i really need to study for at all, so it should be okay to goof off tonight. how are you?
for my part i'm good. went to a little carnival today, wasted money on a shooting galery (they bend the rifle sights) almost got sick on a huge spinning plumeting ride etc.
so aiden, your turn.
I went to work yesterday, and then I came home.
Right now, I should be getting ready to leave for work but I'm not cause I'm still tired.
I am listening to the Young Americans KO Lips Like Morphine Remix which kicks so much ass.
Ramstein scares me a little bit. Their lead singer is freaky.
Dorky security gaurd update!
Only came in the store once yesterday, and once the day before. This new store opened up across from us, next to Icing (which is by Spencers until the remodeling is done) and they had these huge speakers outside their store and were doing their soliciting very loudly.
Our security gaurd came in to tell us if we were having a problem with them to call security and they'll take care of it.
ya, the singer is a bit weird.
huh, that's convenient. maybe you should use nice little rentacop to do your bidding ;)
oh! brother and i came up with something last night. in the poem "O captain my captain" replace "captain" and "father" with "butt" or even better "@$$hole" and you get a very fun poem!
cool..... bob i sent you a youtube message.
I'm not using the rentacop. That's mean.
He may be dorky but he's very sweet and I don't want to get into trouble.
Today was horrible.
That poem thing cheered me up quite a bit.
i'm sorry it was a horrible day. i'm tryingto figure out a good one of those for The Raven.
I love The Raven, so when you figure it out, post it.
