The organization of any complex arrangement hinges on the interplay of seemingly haphazard individual events.

RIP, my bullheaded love

He was really well-liked among people who knew him. He had a voice like silk and could sell anything. He could sell ice to an iceman. I met him when I went shopping for a stereo. I drove him crazy with questions, then I left without buying. But I went back a month later. I said, "I was here before and saw the stereo. I want to buy it." He said, "We don't have it anymore." I said, "Good, I can't afford it." But he really did have one and I bought it and he showed me how it went together. Then he said, "Do you date?" I said, "Not very well." He said, "That's okay, I don't really want to go." That was how it started, 18 years ago.

Oh hey, that's what I believe.

"Boyfriend Pillows"

Sex Slave Trade

"The cost of one sex slave varies between $4,000-10,000." If you're rich you could help buy someones freedom. Then give them a real job doing honest work.

This group sounds like Enigma. This is the first 2 minutes of a song. I don't need the RIAA trying to take all the money I don't have.

Too Pretty...

I'm fuckin' scary now. Are you oh-bee-kay-bee? I'm "too pretty" to be a cowboy. I was also told I have "gay eyes" and that's why the guy at the gym was seriously coming onto me. I think I'll give myself a huge scar down the side of my face so I look like a villan in the movies.

Mobile Computing

I'm sitting in Borders and a man has brought in his computer. That wouldn't seem weird if it was a laptop. He brought in his desktop PC. That's right. He has the computer box strapped to a dolly and the monitor sitting on a desk. All his plugs are plugged into a power strip which is plugged into a single plug outlet. That is what I call ingenuity.

Debates my Dad and I have...

Tripps: Interesting thought..."Jesus was a bleeding heart liberal for his time." Dad: no, actually, he was a conservative, who saw now gray and everything in black and white Dad: the truth is the truth and no exceptions Tripps: Ah, but the truth is based on perception of the facts. :) Dad: nope Dad: that is a liberal view point Tripps: Yup if you perceive something to be what it isn't to you... it's truth until proven otherwise. Dad: but if you are wrong in what you believe, it does not matter, since there is only one truth Tripps: but I'm saying from the perspective of the person because you can't be absolute. why? Tripps: because it's hubris to think you can see as objectively as God. Dad: just because someone thinks something that is false to be true, does not make it so Tripps: but you can't presume to know the absolute truth Tripps: you only know your version of it. Dad: you know the temperature of freezing, correct Tripps: Yes. Dad: there are things which have absolutes, there are no gray areas Tripps: 32F is not the only freezing temperature for water. Tripps: :) Tripps: just like boiling can be at room temperature given the conditions Tripps: once again... what you perceive as absolute isn't. You just don't know all there is to know on it. Dad: You will hear some say, "I would hate to be so narrow minded as to accuse all who differ with me of being wrong", but if that kind of tolerance is right, truth does not matter. You see everyone is narrow in most other realms, rightly so because the truth is narrow. o The Pacific Ocean is on the west coast, and the Atlantic is on the east coast, o The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor on Dec 7, 1941 o Water freezes at 32 degrees, 33 degrees is close, but not right These are all truths, and cannot be moved in any direction and be right, You see the truth is narrow, and Spiritual Truth is just as narrow and positive as Truth in geographical, historical, or scientific realms. Tripps: Unless you're omnipotent and omniscient you're not seeing the whole picture therefore you don't know the truth as it is, only as you perceive it. Dad: a sermon I did not too long ago Dad: I would love to continue this, but I have a proposal to finish and I am flying to Portland this afternoon

Bah

Tripps is poopy. Today life has been a series of annoyances. Partly brought on because I'm wound so damned tight today.

I rock!

I'm hated more than I'm liked by a three to one ratio. Why do you think it is?

Progress vs. Change

Do you ever wonder where your life is leading you? Actually, let me ask that question again. Do you ever wonder where you're leading your life? Have you progressed from where you were 2 years ago? 5 years ago?

In some aspects I think I have prevailed. In others aspects, I feel nothing has changed. I have not made progress. Should I accept these unchanged things as part of who I am or should I continue to fight against demons I can't see?

It also leaves me realizing, change isn't always progress. I have goals, I'm sticking to them and getting things accompished like never before. But I ask myself...why? To what end? You can't win. You still die. So what is my true goal here?

Barnum was right....

I am watching this guy talk to someone and ask him for $20. In fact he's still hassling him. He had some sob story about needing money to get his things out of storage before the storage company auction off his things. This guy is giving him $20. Wow either people are still really kind, or still really stupid. I dunno.

On another note, I like working from Borders. I get my work done and it almost doesn't feel like work. *sigh* Now if the gym could be this easy.

Template Update

I made some minor changes to the template. You should notice it in the comments. I'd like to (once again) thank Rabbit from RabbitCreative for helping me with the little grey outline. I made another change too. Check out the post titles "Did you know?" located above. Run your mouse around the post and see if you can't find the cool thing I added.
He's going to be 20 and married. I couldn't possibly understand because I'm not a christian. I'm supposed to be the dense one, funny.

118

Number of unmarried men for every 100 unmarried women in Paradise, Nev., an unincorporated suburb of Las Vegas. This is one of the highest ratios of any place with 100,000 or more people.

Changes...

Myself and others have noticed changes in my personality over the last 6 months. Some people don't like them. These changes are intentional. Like them or not, they are here to stay.

I still have some areas that need work. For instance, my finances need work. I know this. People don't like the change in my attitude. People say I've changed. I have and I haven't. I am the same person I was. The difference is now I wear a different mask. The person I am now is closer to the person I've always wanted to be.

I've never been happier in my life. I don't let people talk poorly of me without justification. If I have a problem with someone now I take it up with them. I don't talk crap about them when they aren't around to defend themselves. If you don't like me I can understand that, if it's something I can fix, let me know. I would rather someone like me than hate me.

I'm moving forward with my life. I can't sit around waiting for things to happen. It's costing me alot of time and money, but I'm going to move forward if it kills me. The #1 thing that all successful people have in common are their massive amount of failures. I'm not afraid to fail.

naïve

Sometimes it astounds me at how naïve I can be. Let me try to explain what brought this on...

Three years ago I was getting in the pool at my apartment complex with this girl. I was bitching to her about how it's harder for guys to get in the pool because of our testicles. She said "Oh yea at least you don't fill up with water when you get in." I thought wow, I learned something new, some deep dark girl secret. I come to find out after asking Windy a week ago (who I can ask anything to) if that happened to her. She laughed and said no and that she didn't know anyone who that happened to. So then I asked Becki since I had conflicting answers. She basically gave the same answer as Windy. So for years I had gone around thinking women normally filled with water when they got into a pool.

After learning the truth about the woman/bouy theory, it makes alot of things clearer. Had I really thought about it, I bet I could have figured it out on my own. I mean, it all makes sense now.

Planned Parenthood T-Shirt: I Had An Abortion

If someone bought me this shirt, I would wear it. Often. P. Diddy abortion

"I'd do it but I threw my back fuckin' your mom last night...shnoogans!"

I threw out my back. Despite what you think it wasn't from fuckin' your mom again. I did it putting down a weight at the gym. I couldn't even walk last night. I can walk today but it's like an old man.
