Dear Spam, If you have a crush on me just DM me on twitter. I promise not to get all weird.

Chances are the razor blade would kill me so going with monkey snot. Although having to think about either one has deeply disturbed me, thank you for that.
-
Fakers, posers, phonies, and schmucks just following the herd to be in a herd but that fiercely spout their individuality. Social dead weight.

I'll say things contrary to decorum in the hopes of being funny. I'll say things contrary to my own feelings on a subject to get a laugh. Oh and I'm a giant horndog, just ask my ex.
-
I swore to myself I would be in the best shape of my life when I turned 30. If that ended up being true I'm totally fucked.
-
Being misconstrued, hurting other peoples feelings, and my body self-image. Same as everyone else.
-
I wanted to be a grown up I guess and now that I am one I wish to hell I never asked for it. I never had specific career aspirations that I recall. It explains my listlessness.
-
I reject influence as a general manner of being. This keeps me silo'd and sheltered within the confines of my own mind. Laughing, endlessly laughing and yet woefully alone and really quite mad.
Other than that God, Fate, and Chance are really good at messing with my narrow path and presenting me with the things that influence my life.
Finally, my last girlfriend had a huge impact on me. After 5 or so years together you change a bit for a person and moreover grow beyond your old boundaries with them. -
I've always wanted to try the pig method, but I'm not certain it would dissolve the evidence fast enough, although it would obscure the presence of a body.
The whole lye idea takes awhile and you have to source out the lye and that might get tracked.
Perhaps cutting up the body and burying the pieces in 6-foot-deep holes in the wooded areas around town would work but then all the mess and staining of the room and equipment for cutting!
I think ideally would be to sink the body into a concrete foundation at a construction yard somewhere. Assuming you could pull it off. -

You might laugh but the first time I ever had alcohol was when I was around 19 or 20 in second term, first year University. I went to a keg party escorting some female friends and had to pay $20 to get in the door. Kind of a ripoff I thought, but it was all you could drink beer, "yay".
Needless to say, the dude girls go to a party with is NOT the dude they are leaving with so after being promptly ditched by the girls I had nothing left to do at a strange house packed with students then get absolutely effing bombed for the first time. I was drinking some swill named "Amber Ale" and learning to play drinking games. I was very friendly and outgoing (which was odd - I was shy usually) and made lots of one-night buds.
I don't really remember what happened later that night but I'm pretty sure it ended up with me throwing up, cab'ing home, drunk ICQ'ing everyone on my list to announce I was finally drunk, probably tried to play Counterstrike HORRIBLY for an hour or so, puked again, and then crashed until noon. If not accurate, that night that describes about 6 other nights later that same year.
I went on to flunk out of University the next year. Yay alcohol. -
I used to watch Bill Maher when I was a political idjit in my earlier years and he had his Politically Incorrect show on cable. I really enjoyed it because it tried to cut through the media glitz and taboo around issues and get into some real contrary views which was groundbreaking at the time. He also wasn't afraid as a host to call people out on what he felt was BS. He can also be a funny guy, with a background in comedy. I haven't seem him in years but would try out a show he had on TV and see how much he forces his opinions into the dialogue these days.
Now Bill O'Reilly is a showman, a propagandist, and a right-wing populist, pro-government Bush apologist. Or at least he is if it serves his ratings. Sure I think he has strong opinions but I think he is more just an all-or-none sort of personality than really convicted about the reasons behind his stances. I have not a lot of respect for the man as you can tell, but then I don't watch his show so perhaps that's not totally a fair judgement. But to answer your question, I wouldn't watch his show for the same reason I wouldn't pee in the pool. That kind of crap is funny at first but then you just end up with piss all over you. -
As a teenager I had a theory that Time has no bearing on us after we die, and so Deja Vu is our spirits revisiting important moments in our lives. Perhaps this all happens in the "life flashing before your eyes" moments and each flash is a stop and moment of past Deja Vu.
So at the time I used to take especial notice of my situation and surroundings and conversation during Deja Vu and try to savor it.
Maybe these critical moments were critical mistakes and God provides us one last chance to correct our lives at death? Look for the novel based on this next year.
Today what are my theories? Gosh I don't know. Maybe it is simply that it is a common situation that you have encountered before and your brain gets tricked and misfires and writes memory in the same place it is reading it and so you feel like you know what's coming, like listening to a reverse echo sound effect - you can't quite make it out but when it arrives it sounds like it was always coming.
I just made that one up for you HeyLady33, that's how I roll. -
Shatter my ego in front of everyone I know and love. Actually that's a bit past annoying and on into terrifying.
Let's go with constantly doubt and second guess everything I say and play Devil's Advocate whenever I complain about something. -
Probably second term first year at UNBC I had to wait standing in line to register courses for what seemed like hours.

Now that is a tough question because one thing my time in adulthood (quit laughing) has taught me is that music as a greater whole is beyond my ability to appreciate. That which I hate today I love tomorrow.
A perfect example is RUSH. I used to grit my teeth and cry to the heavens when Tom Sawyer came on the radio but as time marched on I heard more of their stuff and actually LISTENED to the music and realized - these guys are really, really good.
So back to the question and let's set some criteria. Criteria A) The removal of all their music must not harm the greater collection of music as a whole. Criteria B) the removal of person as a music celebrity must not harm society. Criteria C) this obliteration should have an appreciable improvement on a current or past part of my life.
My answer, Britney Spears. Let's face it, her music is mainstream POP and could be missed as easily as any of it. Also her domination of tabloids and portions of the media were a pox on society. Sure I lusted after her early in her career as a sex symbol but once she went trailer trash and sullied those memories it just made it all seem so wrong. Frankly, I'd do without having ever been hit one time by Britney's music career, let alone once more. -
Actually the worst I've done was put one up to a CRT monitor and watched the deformations. Boring I guess. More fun was "shooting" the Degauss of one CRT at another CRT across the room and freaking out kids in school.

Oathbreaker, who are you, really?
I once wrote a rather exhaustive, yet tantalizingly light retrospective on my various "screen names" and what they meant to me. You can find it here: http://humanfailmachine.blogspot.com/2009/10/ice-cream-assassin.html
I'm curious if my answer now changes from then. Oathbreaker to me is a character, he is a mode of being that I can fall into for online games and those rare moments when defining yourself in egoic terms is useful. Oathbreaker is a person who does right, by his reckoning, with or against the rules of society. He is haunted by a past shame that is also that which allows him to follow his contrary course. I see him as a free man in an age of thralls and lords.
Of course, when ti comes to twitter and other things, it's just a convenient way to hide my real name from the intertubes and still have a recognizable moniker for those who know me.
Read my other blog post for a FULL accounting of the history of my "screen names" and other aggrandized back stories. -
When I was a teenager in (I don't recall exact years so this is a guess) Gr. 9 and 10 (maybe) my friends and I used to do two things. Before school, at lunch, and after school we would bat some tennis balls around the dilapidated tennis courts. We were terrible and we spent as much time hacking through the brambles and bushes on the other side of the fence as we did actually volleying, but it was loads of fun. The other thing we used to do, and we did it most of our childhood together to various amounts (once I moved to the same neighbourhood as them I got to do it a lot more) was play street hockey. Throughout University and while working up in Orillia I joined rec league floor hockey teams and killed myself pounding floorboards and being generally terrible at it, but I haven't played it since. Partly because Ice Hockey is much more popular and I never learned to skate growing up on the West Coast (no natural ice might have contributed) and partly because of low faith in my physical ability to keep up and my expectation that my peers would expect more actual hockey knowledge from someone my age. The fact is I always found it loads of fun but I didn't really watch it much or care to learn subtleties of the game for mostly 1-on-1 driveway matches or the occasional 5-on-5 with 2 subs neighbourhood game.
Tennis I never played once we changed schools, I went through an introspective and mostly depressing period of life and didn't do much until I moved out of town for University. Then last summer I got into tennis through my work's in-house tennis league. I'm not as terrible as I thought I would be and spent a lot of effort on taking it seriously. I was still playing with my racket from when I was a kid!! I've just signed up this year and I hope to take it just as seriously and have a great time playing with all the wonderful members of our league.
As for hobbies, well, I play video games and they are my bane. I waste so much time playing them that I fail to achieve my other goals for myself. It's a damn shame I won't be able to some day save the world with my game playing skills. Otherwise I like to read, I enjoy /having written/ but dread /writing/, and I would love to actually pick up my guitar and (learn to) play versus thinking about it and then not.
You all know I am also in Toastmasters and take it slightly more seriously than learning the guitar.
Well, I could go for awhile longer on this rather all-inclusive question but I will stop hear AND I think this post has /just enough/ of my own failure in it to justify a post on my blog (looking @HeyLady33 ;).
