It was an April Fools joke.:D

Though it was very nice to see theists and atheists band together in a person's time of need (was that really so hard? ;)).

To my friends who believed it: I'm disappointed in you. :x You should know me well enough to know I'd never seriously use the "who created God" argument even if I was deconverting.

Now all I ask is a head-start before you all band together once more and burn me at the stake. Please?:D

So. . .five things you may not know about me, huh? All right. . .

1. I have blonde highlights in my hair.

2. I used to have an immense addiction to masturbation.

3. I'm adopted.

4. I'm bi-sexual.

5. I lie once whenever I'm asked to list five things about myself.

I tag Domatron, CptJSparrow, notconspiracy, Raven, and rosesforever.

I finally managed to find and succesfully download a song that I have been looking for for months.:|

Live Free or Let Me Die--Skillet

For some reason, iTunes had this song (along with the rest of the Comatose Delux album) when it was first released, and then they stopped holding it for no reason, and they haven't gotten it back since. So for months I've been searching and searching, only to come across incomplete rar downloads, shady websites, Russian services, and 404 errors. But I finally found it the other day through a website written entirely in Spanish and a free file-sharing website.:|

As for the. . .current situation, my mom and grandparents have hired a private investigator to find out some dirt on the ex-fiance (hearby known as The Shrew or Harpie). My uncle fired the lawyer (the one that didn't even come to court for the custody hearing) and hired a competent one.

Lardass is home. Shortest seperation I've ever seen in my life.:roll: And of course nothing has changed, except he's not hiding his smoking. I knew he'd come home and everything would go back to normal (unfortunately), but I was hoping it wouldn't be so freaking soon (they were seperated for less than a week). Though one thing I noticed: He is going outside a lot in order to build a fire in a little pit we have in the backyard.

I live in Florida, it is springtime, with temperatures as high as the low nineties, and he's out making fires?

There's a law that says "If it can go wrong, it will."

Well, gents, it has gone wrong.

A few days before Easter, my uncle's fiance came home drunk and stoned. And since we all know drugs are good and make you nice and peaceful, we can safely reject the possibility of their influence in her incredible outburst. She attacked him (I literally mean attacked), strangled her 11-year-old daughter, broke holes into the drywall of their home, and ruined some of their extremely expensive furniture, all in front of his and her four-month-old baby. So he kicked her out, called the police, and she spent a day or so in jail before her mother got her out.

A day or two before Easter, my mother was helping my uncle when she got a call from the mother of my uncle's ex-fiance, begging her to pick up some breast milk from the woman. So she went over, and while she was there, the two harpies assaulted my mother (who just got out of spinal surgery a few weeks ago) and stole the baby right out of her car. Thankfully, they live near a very nice family that we have known for years, and my mom had them to call when she got out.

On Easter, my piece-of-crap step-dad (who shall no longer be referred to as my step-dad, but as Dumbass, Fatass, Lazy-ass, Lardass, Asshat, Bastard, Redneck, Hick, Junkie, Druggie, Pothead, Idiot, and several other names.) looked kinda fishy. He was outside nearly asleep under a tree (we were at my uncle's house), which wouldn't have looked so weird if he wasn't wearing fancy work clothes. He looked weird on the couch as he slept there most of the day. And guess what my mom and uncle found out when we were all about to leave?

Two of my mother's pain pills (for her surgery) were missing, and 24 of my uncle's anxiety pills were missing.

Druggie has a long history of stealing my mother's medicines, as well as getting false prescriptions and other things that get him drugs.

We all knew instantly that he took them (my grandparents were furious beyond belief). After they looked for my uncle's anxiety pills for an hour, they told me, and I told them that he looked stoned half the day. They also told me this wonderful little gem: My uncle, who was fighting for custody of his baby, was being watched by the Department of Children and Families.

They had counted his pills the day before.

And they can come again, at any time, without notice.

If they found him with 24 less pills than what they counted the day before, he would have lost the baby instantly. With this in mind, my mom and grandmother (who is of the same opinion of Fatass as I am) confronted him. He then exploded at both of them, denied using anything (as he always does, of course), told them to go to Hell, and walked the twenty+ miles home.

When we got home that night, I immediately searched his truck (Idiot never locks the damn thing), and lo and behold: A pack of cigarettes. Did I mention that he was taking a very expensive medicine to quit smoking? So I show them to my mother, who gets even more pissed, and then I told her that I caught him watching pornography (not for the first time, of course) the night of her surgery.

The next day, he was screaming at my mother, was making cracks about how I don't excercise or eat right (Lardass weighs almost four hundred pounds, does nothing around the house, and smokes and steals drugs--was he in a position to be telling me about health?), and eventually he took some stuff and left. Now he's at his mother's house (his own mother has said that he's a lying sack of ****), and my mom is trying to set things right because she doesn't want a divorce (she is disabled and cannot financially support herself, me, and my little brother, and I can't support us either).

Oh, but it gets even better!

The next day, my uncle had a court appointment that would decide who got custody of his baby. His lawyer didn't make it.

The judge didn't even look at him.

The baby is now with the drinking, stoning, violent mother, and there's not a damn thing anyone can do about it.

My uncle got into a very bad car wreck later that day. His truck (which he bought less than a year ago) is undrivable, and he is in a back and neck brace.

Now, my mother is trying to dig up as much dirt on the shrew as she can, in hopes that the baby will be taken away from her.

So yes, my life has been going straight to hell. We're going to lose our satellight television, and possibly our Internet. My digestive problems have stirred up again (feels like the 2004 tsunami is in my stomach), and I can't think straight.

This is just. . . .just. . . . .God, I can't believe how stupid people are.:|

ARSONISTS SUE FOR INSURANCE BENEFITS AFTER BEING DENIED COVERAGE FOR DAMAGES THEY CAUSED TO NEIGHBORING BUILDING

Two Alpena, Michigan men set an arson fire in their store with the hope of collecting insurance money. They admitted that they intended to simply have a small, smokey fire that would damage their inventory, which apparently wasn't selling very well, so they could collect on their insurance policy. However, when the fire spilled over into the adjoining store, the men sued the insurance company. They argued that they set the fire in their own store, but that the fire next door was accidental and therefore they should receive coverage for the damage to the other building. A panel of the state Court of Appeals amazingly reversed the trial court's decision to dismiss this ridiculous case, but the Michigan Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision, eventually reversed the Court of Appeals and ruled that the fire "cannot be characterized as an accident."

DRUNKEN PARTIER SUES POLICE
FOR NOT ARRESTING HER

After a police officer decided not to take an intoxicated woman into custody, she sued him. She admitted that she could not remember most of the events that night, only that she was too drunk to drive (she also admitted that she was too drunk to rely on any promises possibly made by the officer). This case was dismissed by a lower court, and the Appeals Court agreed, ruling that the police officer had no duty to place her in protective custody.

INMATE BLAMES STATE FOR HIS
FLATULENCE, THEN SUES

According to a Michigan Assistant Attorney General testifying before the Michigan Senate Judiciary Committee, frivolous prisoner lawsuits are overburdening state and federal courts. In Case No. 9650302, a prisoner sued the state blaming the food in prison for his flatulence problem. The Attorney General's Office estimates the annual cost of defending the state against frivolous prisoner lawsuits to be several million dollars, all paid for by the state taxpayer.

SPILLED COFFEE LEADS TO LAWSUIT AGAINST POPULAR MICHIGAN TRAVEL STOP

Oasis Truck Stop, a popular travel stop located at the intersection of M59 and US23 in Hartland, was sued by a customer who spilled coffee on herself. The makers of the coffee machine and coffee mug were also sued. The customer's lawyer claimed the coffee was too hot, yet the temperature of the coffee was shown to be exactly what it should have been according to accepted industry standards. Amazingly, a panel of "objective" mediators appointed by the court suggested a settlement that would have rewarded the customer with $62,500. Later, a jury found the defendants not guilty of any negligence and awarded zero dollars, but only after considerable cost to the defendants.

WOMAN SUES CHILD AFTER ICE SKATING COLLISION

A 12 year old girl was skating at a public ice rink in Berkley, Michigan when she ran into another skater and knocked her down causing a knee injury to the fallen skater. The injured woman sued the girl. The trial court dismissed the case saying that the child's manner was not reckless. The trial court stated that the accident occurred during an open skating session at the ice rink and that there are certain risks that must be assumed by participants in recreational activities, especially on ice which is in itself dangerous because of its slippery and hard nature. Sadly, a panel of the Court of Appeals reversed the trial court decision and allowed the case to go to trial. Fortunately for the girl and her family, the Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals stating that "When one combines the nature of ice with the relative proximity of skaters of various abilities, a degree of risk is readily apparent..."

HOMEOWNER SUES SAYING:
"THIS DUST IS TRESPASSING!"

A Michigan couple sued the owners of a nearby business claiming that dust, noise and vibrations invaded their property and therefore were trespassing. A jury actually found in their favor, but a Court of Appeals panel overturned the jury's verdict. The Appeals court stated that noise, vibrations and dust are intangible objects and can not be considered as trespassers.

HOMEOWNERS SUED BY CLEANING LADY WHO MISTAKES FIRECRACKER FOR A CANDLE

A woman from Grand Haven, Michigan filed a lawsuit for more than $25,000 after she was injured by a firecracker she took from a condominium that she had cleaned. While dining later with friends at a restaurant, the woman lit the firecracker claiming that she mistakenly thought it was a decorative candle. The explosion resulted in severe injuries to the woman. She sued the owners of the condo for leaving the firecracker behind without a warning on it. The condo owners said that they had placed the device, which looks like a "huge firecracker," in a cupboard to keep it away from the children after someone left it at their house after a party.

BOWLER'S LAWSUIT IS A REAL TURKEY

A woman sued a bowling alley claiming she slipped and fell on an icy pothole which resulted in a disc herniation. She claimed no previous back problems, but her medical records showed numerous lower back problems over the past 10 years, and she was diagnosed with lumbar radiculitis the previous year. Bowling alley league records proved that she completed the remaining 14 WEEKS of the season after the alleged fall. In addition, a meteorologist testified that weather conditions for that day could not have formed ice. A jury determined that the bowling alley was not at fault.

COLLEGE STUDENT INJURED BY
JOCK SUES THE COLLEGE DEAN

A college student who was attacked by a student-athlete sued the dean of judicial affairs for negligence. The student-athlete had previously attacked two other people and, because of this, the victim claimed that the dean should have known of the athlete's violent tendencies. The Appeals Court ruled that the trial court was correct in dismissing the case because there is no existing special relationship between athletes on scholarship and an associate dean of student judicial affairs. The Court stated that the defendant was entitled to costs and attorney fees since the victim's lawsuit was "vexatious and without any reasonable basis for a belief in its merit."

PASSENGER ON CITY BUS TRIES TO
CASH IN AFTER MINOR ACCIDENT

In Detroit, a passenger on a city bus sued when the bus was rear-ended by a van, causing only a cracked taillight and split hose. The woman claimed she was thrown about the bus and injured. However, the bus driver testified that the air brakes where on and that the passengers boarding the bus did not move at the time of the collision. A Wayne County Circuit Court jury found no injury.

BASKETBALL PLAYER TRIPS ON
ROCKS, SUES HOMEOWNER

During a pickup basketball game, a man tripped and fell over decorative rocks along a driveway where the basketball net was located. He then sued the homeowner. The injured man's friend testified that he had not only noticed the rocks but also pointed them out. The man denied seeing the rocks but admitted that if he had looked up he would have seen them. The trial court judge found that the property owner was not at fault since the rocks were open and obvious. The Court of Appeals agreed.

WOMAN IN WHEELCHAIR ROLLS INTO PARKING GATE, BUT HER LAWSUIT GETS WHEELED
OUT OF COURT

While an employee of Hutzel Hospital was being pushed in a wheelchair through an entrance ramp that was not intended to be used by people in wheelchairs, she was struck in the head by a parking gate. The woman sued the makers of the gate for causing her closed head injuries and shoulder and neck pains. Other employees of the hospital stated that the ramp was not meant for wheelchairs and that there was a walkway next to the parking lot that accommodated wheelchairs. The jury found the maker of the gate not to be at fault.

TRESPASSER TRIPPED UP IN COURT

When a man let his two dogs out of his house, they began chasing something and ran across neighbor's property. When the dog owner chased his dogs over the neighbor's property, he injured himself when he stepped into a snow-covered fence post hole and fell. He sued the property owner for negligence. The Appeals Court agreed with the lower court's decision to dismiss the case saying that since the man was trespassing, the owner of the property was not required to make sure his property was safe from people falling in the snow-covered hole.

SWINGSET MANUFACTURER SUED
AFTER 20-YEAR OLD SWING BREAKS

A six year-old plaintiff was awarded nothing from an Oakland County jury for his lawsuit against a swing manufacturer that he alleged had a faulty design. The child allegedly fell off a swing at a public park because the seat was wobbly and loose. However the manufacturer testified that the swing was over twenty years old and that it had been altered, in particular the lock washers that kept the seat stable were missing.

And this is just Michigan!

I finally got some more pictures onto my computer. One of them turned out with me looking like a psychopath; I can't help but picture Anthony Hopkins in Hannibal whenever I look at it.:|

I'll only post a few:

I already mentioned my mother's surgery. Tuesday is going to be two weeks after that, and she'll be able to drive again. I really can't wait for that, even though the first place we'll be going is the gastrointerologist's office. I just need to get out of this house!

I like going places. I like being on the move. And all this sitting around the house playing the Wii (I've beaten Brawl, by the way) and going on the computer is driving me nuts.

P.S. How do you like the (temporary) new blog header?:twisted:

I just stumbled upon this band, and they sound amazing! Has anybody else heard them?

And that proof can be summed up in two words:

1. E

2. Bay.

Recently, my AT&T homepage got a message from ebay, saying "If you can't find it on ebay, it doesn't exist."

Well, with that logic, it can be easily inferred that if you CAN find it on ebay, then it does exist. And guess what I found!

Apparently, there are 10,061 Gods.

:D

I know, I'm two years late to the party, but I finally decided t see what the fuss was about. I became instantly hooked. And it's funny, because I usually like faster-paced anime with fights and all that crap, but this one doesn't have any of that. Rather, it's just a bunch of intellectual wars between the protagonist (who's also the bad guy) and the cop trying to catch him.

Episode one in English.

What it's about:

A seventeen year-old named Light finds a notebook that can kill anyone in the world who's name is written in it, as long as the person's first and last name are written in it, and his face is pictured in the mind of the person writing it.

He begins using the notebook to kill criminals all over the world. Eventually, people start noticing it, so the police hire a genius detective named L to find the teen ("Kira," the Japanese word for "killer," is the name given to him by the public). Thus begins the intellectual wars mentioned above.

L is the best anime character in the universe.

So yes, apparently not all anime is blood-and-guts crap.:D
