So, I don't know how long Real Life Radio will be down or if it will ever return, so while I work on other alternatives, I offer my station over on Launch/Yahoo -- DJ Devinoch Radio. I'll be updating and fine tuning it as I go along. Until then, feel free to listen.

Or to better quote me...*in front of parents* "I will bash these fuckers heads in if I find them"

Thank god for home-owners insurance though. =)

Or, to quote Spider Jerusalem, the best part of them dried up on their mommy's thigh.

Stupid fucking prepubescent kids with their fucking lack of any fucking morals whatso-fucking-ever, so that to get their fucking kicks, they have to break in to my fucking car, and steal my fucking cd player, and leave me with the fucking mess to clean up. To quote my friend Mel, the better part of these bastards dribbled off their mother's chin.

Fuckers.

There. I feel better.

Ah, the perils of doing an engine swap.

So, my cousin Jason and his friend Tony came down here to visit and change his cars engine out for another one imported from Japan. So far, we have his old engine out of the car, everything disconnected, and the new one almost ready to go in. However, this new engine is connected to the entire front half of another car that we trailered out to my parents house, and it is also for a right hand drive car, so several of the components or electrical connections are reversed. A mite bit confusing, but we'll be done in another day or two.

For those who know their cars, we're taking the SR20DET engine from a Japanese S13 180SX (1993) and moving it into my cousins 1993 240SX hatchback. We've got the entire front clip of the JDM car, so we have every component we'll need to do it.

Anyways, in other news, Curbwatcher has a new site. Go check it out, though it may still have a few bugs in it, as I threw it together last night in about 2 hours.

Pshh...

"Going 80 mph is going with the flow of traffic. If I do 75 in the middle lane, cars will pass me on both sides. Doing 80 used to scare me, but now it feels normal."

Shit...within a month of buying my car (and my licence) I was pissed because my car maxes out at 100mph down the bumpy, winding freeway at 2am when my speedometer can goto 130 (not to mention the Vegas to LA journey that has the same problem in my car)...Am I crazed? :D

But of course when I finally DO get pulled over for a ticket it's for going 40 in a 35 zone!!! Something just don't seem rite...

w00t! I'm in the Mercury News today!!

Mr. Roadshow

Scroll to the bottom.

And yes, now I think before I speed. We all should. I'm not saying, don't speed, just think about it first. Or ignore me and go on your merry way. I don't give a hoot. ^^

Hey Everyone. What's up with youz guyz? I just had a CD player put in my car, it was a graduation gift from my parents, it's great now I can bake in my car to my own music.

Why did I not try chicken salad sooner? This stuff is good!

Okay, so Kevin Shields doing solo music I can buy, but a reunited My Bloody Valentine? I'll believe that when the album has a fucking release date... they've strung me on too much before.

Ah... sweet Firefly... you come back to me in December.... This also makes me feel better. Read for yourself.

A letter from the bank arrived this morning and it turns out a loan I applied for a few months ago has come through, so I have to go and do paperwork at the bank today, but I'll have enough cash flow to survive a few more months. My phone should be back on again in a few days and a payment will go off to the car company shortly. Sometimes fate has a way of gracing you just at the moment you need it. Thank God.

FUCKING A! WHY DOES FATE SEEMED DESTINED TO FUCK ME IN THE ASS EVERY CHANCE SHE FUCKING GETS?!

So, the motherfuckers at the unemployment office apparently can't fucking read. They sent me back a form that arrived TODAY saying that the claim they should have been paying me for LAST week wasn't completely filled out, so I need to send it to them again! This means that that check won't arrive until next week and the check after it won't arrive until the 6th or so, which puts me in deep fucking shit with the landlord, who hasn't gotten back to me about moving into a smaller apartment, and I get to live on the $25 in my account now for the next month or so. And because money is so tight, Sprint's turned the phone off, because I can't fucking afford to pay them. I'm already late on a car payment. I fucking hate this. I hate not being able to take care of my life. I hate not being able to sustain myself. I hate not being able to make it in the world. I fucking feel like a total motherfucking failure, like a waste of human life. I'm just a burden to everyone and I can't fucking stand it. I can't get work. I can't pay my bills. I can't even get a simple fucking job working as a store manager for Barnes & Noble or Best Buy. I sit around all day and send of dozens of resumes and people can't be bothered to give me a simple "Sorry, we don't think you're the kind of person we want." I get fucking silence. I'm going stir fucking crazy. I don't know how much more I can take of this. If it's supposed to be a test of my wills, I get the fucking point -- no one's invincible, not even me.

I'm scared. I can't fucking help it. I'm crying right now even as I'm trying to keep my composure together.

Am I really such a bad person that HR departments across the country feel the need to shit on me regularly?

What the fuck am I going to do?

Another comic done. This time though, it was much quicker to complete.

So, I'll make a much longer post about San Diego soon, but I just wanted to show this off...

Seperated at birth? Who knows? ... that's me on the right. Dumbass.

I suddenly feel like swearing profusely at the futility of society.

Why, yes, I've been reading Transmetropolitan. How could you tell? ^^

Ahhh yes...we need 100IPs for EVERY person on Earth...

I can't wait to see the day though when someone's frige, toaster, toilet, or other useless home appliance that doesn't need to be online but will be, gets hacked and end up being the culprit for some ddos attack...now only if they'll be .net "empowered" ;)

Ok, I'm back from Comic-con. One hell of a kick ass time, and I thank Greg and Liz for letting Cliff and I stay with them, and everyone else we did things with, for taking the time. The best weekend I've had in many a year. Thank you everyone.

:)

"D.U.I.? I'm not influenced by alcohol. I *drink* alcohol!"

My brother. The endless source of entertaining quotes.

Cliff got his picture taken with Kevin Smith. I got a day off from work. It's hard to say who got the better end of this deal.

Day one of San Diego complete. Had loads of fun. Am in tomorrow's Real Life! Yay! Thank you Greg!

And fuck you too Direct TV. I canceled your service for this kinda shit.

And I'm actually tempted to buy a frigging smartcard reader now just so I can toss it in the trash and then beat you with a countersuit when you come after me.

Whoo! Go USA!!!

"The content industry is asking the public to fund this kind of an effort against themselves."

"I don't like you biting me..." - Liz
"Tough." - Greg

Greg is dancing like a little girl. Liz is beating his ass. Keith is looking of my shoulder. And making faces at me. A box next to me contains the ocean. It talks. I am be forced to sleep now. PreSanDiego day is over....

Shutting down now... prepping for San Diego departure... preparing, preparing, preparing....

Whoo!!! Ladies and gentlemen start your burners!!!

Package in FedEx location NORTH LAS VEGAS NV US 07/15/2003 09:02

We're back... we were gone for a day. Dunno why.

Such is the path of The Touched.

Bah...dun start that Christy. We like ya postein here. You shall post via telepathy! Hmmm...on second though actually that might take some practice though so till then post via Cliff's PC (or them handy cyber cafe's that seem to be on every corner all of a sudden) =P

Last post for awhile. Giving up the internet access to save my sanity and make my commute shorter. Not that it matters whether I'm here or not.

Ok...now...am I a little crazy or has the US economy hit rock bottom for women to stupe to doing this (plus the people that set this up)?

Hunting Bambi

Not to mention the men that are insaine to PAY 10 grand for this. I've met this ripe fucker too thats doing this and he better hope I never meet him ever again (hes useing one of my fields I helped create!). I'll shake his hand for actually getting people to pay 10 grand for that crap then beat the liveing hell out of him for makeing it just that much harder for my favorite sport to be taken seriously by anyone. Hell a little people skills could get women to do this for the hell of it. Shit I've gone sparing with quite a few mono e mono, but not like this, nor so pustasticaly ludicrious.

And I made the DVD Burner post make just a little more sense for those of you who dunno what a DRX510UL is (*cough* Christy *cough*) =P

I've been distracted this week. But my room is almost done now. The only thing left to do is to move all my shit back into the room. Yes, I get to try and move most of a freakin' house back into my 10x10 room. Whee...

Suffice to say, I'm throwing away a lot of stuff.

My parents are gone for the week, so I'm trying to think of what kind of trouble I can get into, but nothing's come to mind yet. I must be losing my touch.

And I'm going to the John Mayer concert tomorrow. And yes, I'm bringing an extra pair of pants, you bastards. And maybe a bat, to swing at all the teenyboppers. Stupid glitterati...

So is it cruel for me to make the interns come in when they forget what their day off is? Especially when they happen to have someone else call me on my day off? My conscience is wavering here.

Ugh. To the 10th degree.

The blog seems to be publishing again. Dunno what was going on. But we're okay again...

Never mind people talking too much, Liz, I can't even to attempt to understand what Dave's talking about.

Arrrggghhhhh!!! This scenario of waiting for my DVD Burner is driveing me even more insaine now...I had the drive shipped to me over 2 weeks ago and ordered 100 Ritek Blanks on the 9th...well they are here today!!! Now where the fawk is the drive!?!?!? Guess I'm ordering the Sony DRX510UL and will tell the person sending me the drive I nooooo longer want the bastage Sony DRU510A ($50 more gets me external Firewire/USB now *joy*). I will be in heaven whenever the hell this one finally gets to me...ordering from the place I ordered my blanks from too that got me the blanks in 3 days time...but alas...now I have to deal with the weekend with 100 blank, purple, DVD-Rs that I can only look at *sob*

Now me thinks that Cliff talks too much. =0P

You know, in reading the CNN story I posted a week or so back again, I think I've come to realize I'm rapidly in danger of becoming a disenfranchised job seeker. I mean, I'm just getting pissed off and depressed anymore. I'm looking for work, collecting unemployment, trying not to lose my mind as day in and day out I call people, I email them, I knock down doors in an effort to get somebody, anybody, to give me a job that won't drive me out of my fucking gourd. I find myself getting frustrated all the time any more, simply because I can't get a straight answer out of anyone. And I know how the job hunting process works. I know an interview will suddenly fall out of the sky and two weeks later I'll be starting work, but goddamnit, I'm getting tired of waiting for that interview. I'm getting tired of sending out hundreds of my resumes to people who will never even send me a fucking postcard acknowledging they GOT the damn thing... I'm sick and tired of being stepped on because these people have a few dozen people just like me asking for work. I know I can do almost all of the jobs I'm applying for, and I'm getting sick of people not even calling and asking for an interview. I'm getting sick and tired of people just overlooking my name and my resume. I am, as the saying goes, mad as hell.

And you know what? It's not going to do me one fucking bit of good. All the anger, all the rage, it's not getting me anywhere. I'm just like every other unemployed person out there, trying to find some way to make ends meet while the world closes in around me and slowly starts to drive me insane. I'm running out of time, I'm running out of options and I have no idea what the next step is.

I just hope the next step isn't into deeper shit than I'm already in.

I just got back from seeing Pirates! OH MY FUCKING GOD the movie totally rocks. Everyone must see it But you must stay through the credits there is more at the end. I will be seeing it a few more times.

Yeah, I was hung up on so that Cliff could get his presents from the FedEx guy. And he and Keith are playing with the baby tonight, so even though he's actually five minutes away, quality time will not be had.


Altogether now, "AWWWWW"


And I'd like to say hi again to Cliff's mom. Hi!

He arriveth and blessed were we the peasants...

Yay.

Day 38.... Still no sign of the FedEx man...

Liz, I think you're a BTW!

Oh FedEx.... where are you bitches?!

Looks like no show tonight folks, sorry. I'll hold this week's show over until next week. And yes, I'm probably just as pissed off as you are, maybe moreso.

DJ Devinoch will hopefully be broadcasting on the Real Life Radio stream tonight from 8-midnight, but via remote... enjoy the show. Apparently there are some server issues right now and I'm trying to find out what's going on. If there's no show, this week's show will be held over until next week. I dunno what to tell ya, folks, this one's not in my hands....

Me thinks Keith talks too much.

Ugghhh...I shall kill a Canadian today if it is the last thing I do! I've had packages reach Taiwan faster (4 days) than a Canadian has shipped my DVD burner drive (been a lil over 2 fawking WEEKS!!!) -_-

[renesis]: I have only today and tomorrow to finish all this....I'm swamped
[scott]: i recommend a machete
[renesis]: swamps can be a bitch
[scott]: yes, yes they can

SNAFU principle /sna'foo prin'si-pl/ /n./
[from a WWII Army acronym for "Situation Normal, All Fucked Up"]
"True communication is possible only between equals, because
inferiors are more consistently rewarded for telling their
superiors pleasant lies than for telling the truth."
-- a central tenet of Discordianism, often invoked by hackers to
explain why authoritarian hierarchies screw up so reliably and
systematically.
The effect of the SNAFU principle is a progressive disconnection
of decision-makers from reality. This lightly adapted version of
a fable dating back to the early 1960s illustrates the phenomenon
perfectly:


In the beginning was the plan,
and then the specification;
And the plan was without form,
and the specification was void.

And darkness was on the faces of the implementors thereof;
And they spake unto their leader, saying:
"It is a crock of shit, and smells as of a sewer."


And the leader took pity on them,
and spoke to the project leader:
"It is a crock of excrement,
and none may abide the odor thereof."


And the project leader
spake unto his section head, saying:
"It is a container of excrement,
and it is very strong, such that none may
abide it."


The section head then hurried to his department
manager,and informed him thus:
"It is a vessel of fertilizer,
and none may abide its strength."


The department manager carried these words
to his general manager,
and spoke unto him saying:
"It containeth that which aideth the growth of
plants, and it is very strong."


And so it was that the general manager rejoiced
and delivered the good news unto the Vice President.
"It promoteth growth, and it is very powerful."


The Vice President rushed to the President's side,
and joyously exclaimed:
"This powerful new software product
will promote the growth of the company!"


And the President looked upon the product,
and saw that it was very good.


After the subsequent and inevitable disaster, the suits protect
themselves by saying "I was misinformed!", and the implementors
are demoted or fired.

Indeed, it is the truth even to this day.

Velveteen?

What are the implications? Velveteen electrical reaction? A creation made within the mind that brings the inanimate to life? And with such ability comes the responsibility to care for the well-being of self-wrought puppetry? How does one handle a creation that has become alive?

Magical, alive, and dependant purely upon thy own will.

Thus one might become a creator of things. Things which follow the whims of our desires, the flights of our fancies. Things that put forth our will upon an unsuspecting world. Care must be taken, that the Velveteen might act in ways we do not anticipate. The mind has depths and wills we can only barely fathom, the predictability of our conscious mind is a luxury.

Be careful of our minds shadows. They move when we aren't looking, through vassals and puppets we rarely suspect.

Always place your mind's toys back where they belong.

Back into The Box.

Oh BTW, I think you're an oxy!

Yay! "The Eye" came in the mail yesterday! Yay for scarey Chinese goodness!

Looks like we will have to be having another movie party some time soon. Also, we still have to watch Hero. I would really like to see it.... but there are so many good things to watch!

Also, poker night will never be the same again! We got our super-duper special briefcase of poker chips in the mail today!

Quietform: Free money?
nireechan: Isn't that an oxymoron?

The more I fool around with the Reason demo, the more convinced I am that Keith and I will soon rule this planet via the airwaves...

How big are you compared to Liz's penis?





How can that be?

I made 4 all together!

I tell ya...

Ok, that's it.

oooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Now that was fun.

NYAHAHAHAHA!!

Reason gets here Thursday! Now Cliff and I will soon proceed to bring our particular brand of craziness to the world of music!

Fear us! FEAR OUR MIGHTY MUSIC-MAKING POWER!!

boop

When did sweeps end? TV suddenly just got "borring..."

Okay, hang on here...

Let me see if I have this straight...

I'm dating Christy, and having affairs with Liz and Erin.
Christy's dating me, and having affairs with Liz and Greg.
Greg is dating Liz, and having affairs with Christy and France.
Liz is dating Greg, and having affairs with Christy, Erin, myself and, quite possibly, Canada.
The French Canadians are getting fucked by everybody.
President Bush is befuddled and having an affair with the horse.
The Pope is crying because he's not having an affair with anyone.
This is not an affair to remember.
This is not an affair of the heart.
This is not affair play.

That was, in fact, a bad pun.

I am now officially confused... can someone lend me a program a minute? Maybe the Cast of Characters explains some of this...

Yeah, I got the same one as Christy.


confusedbush



How big are you compared to Liz's penis?



I think we're all having affairs with Liz. I mean, with a penis that size, who isn't? Just by being in Liz's presence, you are having an affair with Liz. It's kinda fun, actually. You should all try it sometime.

And in other news, I've got the plague! Not the evil, I can't do anything plague, but the one that involves great quantities of paint being splattered onto my walls, and me in the process. And the whole time I'm painting, I just hear Christy's voice whispering seductively, "Remember, with a roller, make W's."

Yeah, I need to stop inhaling fumes...

confusedbush



How big are you compared to Liz's penis?


Damn, and I really am having an affair with Liz. And Greg. No, not at the same time you crazy crazy people. Sick twisted minds. But it's OK because everyone knows Cliff's having an affair with Erin. Well, we have to occupy our time somehow because the plotline of Passions has been stagnant for months. We were actually discussing it at intermission today.

My icon is very cool Cliff, thanks.

True dat Cliff...True dat...But wheres the one about the UPS trucks? ;)


confusedbush



How big are you compared to Liz's penis?

Some things are best left unknown...


horselaugh



How big are you compared to Liz's penis?



But it's too late for me, I'm afraid...

I did notice that you all like to take personality selectors. So keeping up in the spirit of talking about "me" I have created this quiz.

How Big Are You Compared to Liz's Penis Quiz

Please take this quiz and post your results here.

Yes...now if Cliff will just update his Cyber Begging link =P

In other news of the apocalypse... Dave has obtained himself an icon... The infamous questionmark will now be in limbo until we get another new member... preferrably not a "rigid member."

Yes Liz...you and your HUGE "rigid member" =P

We've added another member to the blog, our good friend Sherrie, who has gained herself a pirate icon. Hopefully this works for you Sherrie, but if not, just lemme know and I'll find something different.

I figure, the more the merrier.

Is this all this blog has become? A bunch of people taking personality quizes and posting about showers and rigid members? Lets talk about something wonderful and timeless. Something like ME! We should always talk about me and my "rigid memeber". Or how everyone shouts up to the heavens about me! Or how I'm a "misnomer"...hehe. I really think it would be the best for the blog and everyone here.

I give you "Monitor Man!!!" I swear you gota love the Japanese and the creative ways they advertise at sports events now...

And if you have Bit Torrent installed go check this old anti-piracy video out...Makes me wanna go pirate games just so they can't make such horrible things as that ever again. It's some funny shit that I'd totaly forgotten about...Good ol /. able to give me a good chuckle on a Monday morning =)

No one should ever use the phrase "good morning"... it's a total fucking misnomer.

I am now clean after a shower that followed a wonderful swim in the pool. I don't think I'm drunk anymore, but I think that's okay, as we're about to enjoy a movie. I'm going to go and try not to lose my lunch as we watch Battle Royale.

Mmm... exploding necks...

I'm at one Smirnoff Triple Black Ice, and zero food.

The world is spinning pleasantly.

Whee!

OK, OK, "rigid member" is not a phrase that you use in front of parents. But there's an interesting backstory. My coworkers and I also think it would be a fierce name for a band.

No, you don't get to have the backstory, unless there's a genuine need for it. Other than that, nada.

And I will take this opportunity to say hi to Cliff's mom. Hi!

I can now post on the touched. :) I am at Keith's parents house and it is so totally wired. They rock! Hi sis.
see you all in cyberspace.

We have somehow gotten to discussing various topics that one would not normally do so around people, like...say...parents? You know, you don't discuss "rigid-member" or various other related topics generally around them. But my parents? What do they do?

Nope. No shocked looks, or covert room-exiting occurs.

They smile. And laugh. Because, they've seen it all.

I love my family.

I would just like to state for the record that Cliff cries like a baby while chopping onions. I however am immune to it's lures. Must be the contact lenses.

So here I am, typing a post to the blog, in Keith's parents' KITCHEN... yes, there's a computer in the KITCHEN...

I don't know, man, I don't understand it either. But I know cool when I see it.

I'm glad someone invented showers. Otherwise I'd have to go find a waterfall every morning, and that would just suck...

Well, fuck...

On air now! Go listen to the radio stream!

For those of you who have been waiting for the triumphant return of the DJ Devinoch show -- we'll be on for 6 hours tonight, starting at 6 p.m. PST and running until midnight my time. So tune into the radio stream and enjoy tunyan from the long absent DJ Devinoch...

It's always hard when someone you know passes away...

Now this is funny shit...

You habitually make disgustingly ugly LiveJournal
icons. No. No, don't try to deny it! We've all
seen them, and they are fucking ugly as sin,
and for this you have damned yourself to an
eternity of suffering. It is justice! After
all, you've probably blinded dozens of
people.

STOP THIS NOW AND REPENT!
Perhaps you will be saved.

I'm doing better now.

I no longer want to scream the previous obscenity towards the heavens.

I want to scream "Why the FUCK must you do this??!!" instead.

Needless to say, I'm not doing too well.

I want to scream.

I want to yell "What the unholy FUCK were you thinking??!!" to the heavens.

I want to sleep, but I can't anymore.
