I've already gotten my olive oil and my chocolate ready. I can hardly wait for the greatest day of the year.


Remember to eat lots of chocolate today! *gives white chocolate to everyone who read this post*

Serious question.

While I was stranded in BF nowhere, we got a female chihuahua for free. We named her Midget, because in comparison to Duke, my German Shepherd, she is freaking tiny.

Well, I've been noticing that she shivers. A LOT. Why? It's not cold in here.

Anyone who knows why, lemme know. I'm curious.

I'm pretty certain that I was screwed over at the time I was most vulnerable.

I am currently attending Westwood College in Upland, CA, and a few weeks ago, I stumbled upon news that is starting to reveal its true colors.

I was enrolled in Westwood back around the same time in 2006, not even two months after I was nearly arrested for shooting scare rumors spread around about me. Back then, I didn't know anything about the world, literally. Due to the fear that I was more dangerous than the shooters of Columbine *Caused by years of being the victim of countless beatings and isolation, which also caused the shooting scare rumors* I wasn't even allowed to use a computer. Right after the incident, I was practically forced to look around at different schools, something I wasn't ready for at the time. The only College that would accept me was Westwood. None of the others would accept me due to my hellish school history and my less than average score in Algebra *Despite the fact that I scored in the exceptional range in every other category.*

I was naive at the time, and despite the fact that I was always focused in the schoolwork and that I was a straight A student *Graduated high school despite all the countless beatings with a GPA of 3.8*, most of the teachers were just not teaching. When it came to my algebra classes, I was supposed to get tutoring for that, but the staff didn't bother to arrange it until nearly 20 weeks after I had requested it *And near daily pestering*. Even then, the tutoring was less than dismal; even though I asked for help, the teacher didn't do anything but give me a ticker tape response.

It went downhill from there. Most of the teachers didn't even teach; one in particular only showed us cheap powerpoint presentations and barely had the drive to enunciate half of the words. Another teacher gave me shit because I didn't bother to remember her name, as if her name was more important than the class itself *And it is a fact that I do have problems with remembering people's names*

my major at this school is Game Art, and yet, with the high price tag on this school *$72,000*, they refuse to supply us with anything actually useful. No Adobe programs, no drawing tablets, no nothing. Even the books are useless. most of them I've never even used once.

I've even spent the last year and a half trying to find a job, yet no one is accepting my applications. I've gone to their career development several times a day for help, and every time I step in, it's like I'm meeting them for the first time. Every time I try to get help, I'm about halfway through with filling out the paperwork when suddenly the person I'm with has to step out for a minute and never comes back.

It pains me at the same time to have to say this. Some of the teachers shouldn't even be working there; why aren't they at a better school? So far I've had two teachers at this school who validate the 72K my parents are sacrificing and then some. one of them even fought the system for however long we've been there on trying to get them to supply us with some of the programs like 3DS Max or Maya or Adobe, and from both of them I've learned a ton from just one class session.

Now that I can see some of the truer colors of this school, I've been looking around to try and find reviews or certifications about this school, yet anything professional is nonexistant, and almost all of the student reviews are horrible.

I really want to hear from other people about this. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place right now; on one hand I could risk wasting the next 2 years of my life on this crap school and waste my parents money even more, or I can quit, risk my past coming back, save the money, and learn what I need to by myself.

Once again, another Singaporean fiasco, this time she looks for a guy who is 'multipurpose'. She wants a guy who could woo her so much that if he invites her to another country, she'll go! Worse, she wants someone who can teach her how to play the piano, rollerblading and etc!

Clearly she's deterring her chances for a boy.

Day after day, month after month, it always happens. It manifests itself in different ways, from debilitating blindness in my right eye, to being crushed by the transmission from my brother's truck. The entire world shits on me.

Right now, as of 2:45 central standard time, I am stranded in some podunk town called Schulenberg, Texas. The transmission on my dad's van decided to say, "fuck y'all, I quit." And quit, right there on Interstate 10.

After a nervewracking limp to a gas station, and two bottles of Automatic Transmission Fluid later, still nothing. Third gear is completely shot. The engine bay stinks of burnt clutches, eminating from General Motor's "Venerable" Turbo-Hydramatic TH700-R4. We can't limp it home, for fear of the transmission COMPLETELY grenading, and leaving us as unwilling permanent residents of this Hellhole.

To add icing to this shitcake, we called everyone and anyone we knew, trying to get SOME form of help. Nothing.

My Aunt even had the balls to say "She wasn't going to save us anymore". When did she save us last? Where was I for this mythical act of kindness? It was her idea for us to drive to San Antonio in the first place! SHE FUCKING INSISTED ON IT.

To make matters worse, I have my smelly, overactive, hyperactive German Shepherd in here with us, and his bouncing around is further adding to my stress and aggrivation.

80 miles from home, with 10 bucks left. I am officially up Shit Creek without a paddle. I'm one more bad thing away from walking over to I-10 and stepping in front of an oncoming semi. I don't think I can take anymore of life's shit.

This isn't really anything bad but just a bummer for me.

My girlfriend was talking about how she wants a hobby, drawing, painting, or learning guitar were her choices. So I looked into guitars, talked to my buddy's girl who works at an instrument shop, and became set on getting her a guitar. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't gonna sink an assload of money into something she wasn't really interested in. So I gauged her interest by letting her know when I saw guitars on sale, and she was interested.

So the bummer part is that we were talking about Christmas, I said I think I knew what I was gonna get her, and after a short Q&A of her trying to find out she asks "Is it a guitar?" I couldn't keep a straight face and now feel disappointed because it was gonna be a good suprise. I do however know now that she is interested, and excited to learn. I also suppose it will be better for her to pick out a guitar that feels good to her. I'm just bummed because it would have been so cool to spring it on her!

So make me feel better any guitar players out there, is it good that she will be able to pick out a guitar that feels good to her as opposed to me just picking one out for her?

No it's not Ereth! It's Marrie! Also knowned as DragonmasterX's birthday although this Friday! *gives him a hugs and kisses*

Salutations all. For all don't know me. this be Damien Stryker. I'm sorry if i have not been on and active as of late...but a lot of family matters have been taking place. and..a few weeks ago....there's been a loss in the family....so i have not been myself for a while...because it's been hitting hard...:(... but now i'm back..and looking to get into the swing of things again hopefully. again I apologize for not being on...but ever glad to see this forum up and always running

Seems like the Singapore girl is more open minded than I thought all these years. This chick posted a nude pic of herself on Friendster, since then the uncensored pic has been taken down but someone was teed off by it that he/she decided to post about it on the local news forum STOMP!

I see it as nothing wrong, duh I'm a nudist and people have their open minds. Seems my country is in the opinion crossroads, the extremely prudish and uptight, to the outrageously flamboyant and eccentric...and sex crazed. How do you feel about this? Is society simply too uptight?
