Stop Violence against women….hit men.

Froyd acknowledges and salutes all veterans past and present who have given their time and lives to the military of the United States of America.

You make Froyd proud.

Well, the first Eagle has been reproduced using frozen sperm.

now that we can do this, perhaps there is some possibility of saving far gone endangered species.

Only once thing left for Endangered species to truly feel at ease. If only science could cure the name calling from the other eaglets, stamping out such names as ‘test tube eaglet’, ‘freak of nature’, and ‘forsaken of God, ye spawn of the devil and science!’

When science can cure those horrible names, then perhaps endangered species can truly breathe easier.

So I went to see Shrek 2 with the ‘rents and my older bro who is in town.

Now a note: Shrek, the first one, was ok. I wasn’t enthused about it, I had seen it on video, and it just wasn’t what the hype had built it up to be.

Shrek 2, on the other hand….

damn. It is one funny movie! Antonio Banderas is a genius in his role, and the movie is just full of pop culture references to other movies. It was good enough that staying awake this evening was well worth it.

never eat a salad for supper, and then don’t get any sleep in the evening before working all night.

the lack of calories will make you REALLY tired.

end of note.

Ok, so get this: Not only does BSU not want to give me any GA’s, but now they don’t even want to give me any financial aid, be it grants, work study, or even loans!

Apparently, because I’ve attempted more than the 192 credits for undergrad education(??) they have now blocked me from getting any more financial aid. Hopefully this can be cleared up, because I’ll just point out the fact that they can’t read.

I’m not attempting any more undergrad credits. I’ve graduated. I’m in a new bracket. I’m an independent student. I’M TRYING FOR GRAD CREDITS YOU IMBECILES!!!!

Says that on the FAFSA, says that on the application for financial aid at BSU, says that on the CREDITS I’M ATTEMPTING TO TAKE NOW!

*sigh* Maybe, between this and the GA turn downs, it is just a message that I shouldn’t be going to this den of inequity for my masters education.

tiiiiired. so very tiiiiired.

naptime soon, hopefully.

it’s really busy, unfortunately and silence is unable to happen. This puts me in a bad mood. Loudness is bad. Quiet and solitude are much preferable. Especially in the middle of the night.

Working nights is bad, and puts me in a bad mood.

Lord of the Rings, Good. alleviates the bad mood somewhat.

People commenting on how my parents must have raised me poorly, that just downright pisses me off.

If any mention is made, as was this evening by jon hatch, about ANY of my family members in anything less than positive light, that comment will immediately be taken down.

If you want to rail against me, fine. If you want to belittle my intelligence and call me anything ranging from racist to homophobe to whatever, fine. We’ll take up how you’re wrong at a later date.

But I won’t fucking tolerate any attacks on my family.

They’re separate from me, and if I do anything wrong it is through my own choices, because unlike some people I was raised to make my own decisions, not vapidly denounce others by using psych-speak or phrases thrown around in politically correct magazines, and blame all actions on how I was raised by my parents.

I make my own decisions, and one of these decisions is intoleration of people who attack my family.

I now own all the lord of the rings movie, because the box set with all three of them is out.

wheeee!

and today I’ve finished pumping up my bike. It has a mirror, a speedometer, a headlight and a tail light now. It’s great for saving all the gas money I’m going to this summer by biking instead of driving to school and work.

Ok, I’ve thought long and hard about this, but unlike some people, I won’t be tossing around buzz words like homophobic, overgeneralization, mob mentality, or any illogical words like that(at least not too much).

First things first: Yes, I realize that it is wrong for me not to treat the Flamboyant one like everyone else. I also realize that it is demeaning to both myself and him to continue to belittle him. From thence on, I shall try to at the very least tolerate him. Does this mean that I will look forward to meeting him everywhere? No. Does it mean that I will be at least polite if I run into him? Yes. And I will try, though some nastiness might leak out from time to time. This shouldn’t be any big surprise as I’m nasty occasionally to everyone. I do have to say thank you to certain people for helping me realize this, even if the way in which they did it was a bit inefficient.

Second thing: Flamboyant. Does any other word describe this man as perfectly as that? Find one, and I’ll use that. But in all seriousness, on friday morning, after $ beer night, I posted what I did not because the flamboyant one irritated me so much, but the conversation afterwards did. JP tried to talk me out of being irritated, and that pissed me off. THAT’S in essence what I was blogging about, not el flamboyante.

Third thing: to call someone a homophobe because they didn’t take actions that weren’t even taken by the target OR the other person offended by the comments is just plain out of line and stupid. If you are going to make a comment like that, you should have stood up then and there. As I was not offended by the comments, I saw no need to interfere.

Fourth thing: You are asking about an open minded and honest individual on a page titled Froyd’s Rants, a logical fallacy looking for an argument? What kind of drugs are you on?

Fifth thing: First time I make a comment in public(not on this blog), and it offends someone, shame on me. But if it is you who is offended, then you best speak up, because if no one says anything, I’m just going to continue talking. If it CONTINUES to offend you and you still don’t say anything, then shame on you.

Sixth thing: Just because I don’t like one individual, doesn’t mean I have a problem with all who share ONE CHARACTERISTIC. I could name a few gay people I am friends with, but why? Why should I demean them and pigeonhole them on one characteristic when they are so much more than that? Why do you pigeonhole me and pick the fact that he’s gay and call me a homophobe? Does that make ANY sense? Hell, if one of his arms were on backward, you could say that I dislike him just because of that. It makes just as much sense as saying I dislike him because he’s gay.

Seventh(and last) thing: I like the fact that it’s not people who know better, or elder people, but a person who’s one year older than me, and one who’s quite a few years younger than me are the ones who are telling me that I’m this and that. They’ve known me personally for about a year. Apparently they know me well enough to tell me exactly what I am, who I know, why I know them, and why I have issues with them.

Eighth thing(I lied): This blog is on space that I pay for, on my servers, on my time, and is my space, beholden to no one. I’m going to add this to the side bar later on, but if you find something offensive, that’s what the comments are there for, or you can email me. But the moment you tell me not to do something with THIS space, is the moment you should go somewhere else on the net.

Ok, so I’ll get to those accusations leveled against me when I get back. I’m going to the union for some brews and supper. Cause nothing cheers me up like that…especially on a day when you’ve got people accusing you of being something you’re not and jumping to conclusions.

oh yeah, and it goes well with rain, the trivia playing.

All right, out of the 17 credits attempted this semester, I only earned 14 of them, having dropped Donovan’s Sophist class.

I got 3 A’s and 2 B’s in everything else. One of those B’s was in People and the Environment, and the reason I got a B was the fact that I didn’t do a damned thing. No worries for me.

The other B was in creative non-fiction…and as far as I’m concerned, that class can suck my ass. Never before have I been in a class that I didn’t care a whit about, and that didn’t benefit me at all. People and the Environment even benefitted me some, as I got to go camping. I’ve got to say, however, that creative non-fiction is the devil’s own writing, and those that set up a class like that, with a TA like that, can go running straight to hell.

damn, I hated that class. I told the teacher in the conference thing that the only thing I got out of that class was that I never wanted to write creative non-fiction again. She wasn’t too pleased.

Anyway, finishing up my undergrad education witha 3.09 GPA, I feel pretty good. After completely bombing my first year and a half here, dropping out for a semester, and then coming back switching majors, I’ve pretty much slapped the statistics that say someone in my position won’t finish college in the face.

I feel pretty damned good. Wheee!

Sorry about the length of time between posts there, ’s just that not much interesting has been happening.

went out with Josh Page(cause apparently the moniker ‘JP’ irritates him, so I shall stop referring as such) and AT Josh on Thursday night($ beer night! WHOO!) and we went to perkins afterwards. While there we stopped in and ran into a rather flamboyant individual whom I cannot tolerate very well.

There is nothing that can change this lack of toleration, I’ve known him too long. I can put up with him for just a few hours at a time before I want to give him pain. Oh well.

Anyway, Friday, nothing happened other than drinking alone. I love drinking alone.

yesterday I worked, and today I’m working. That’s the last 4 days of my life summed up. Apparently, though, the Sci-Fi writer’s club on Campus has a new blog which I’ve gotta give a shout out to: WOO!!

SHOUT OUT TO SCI-FI WRITERS BLOG!

They’re called “Big & Rich”…and I’ve gotta say they are a great mix of country and rock. I’m really pleased with this album purchase.

Especially when one of the choruses to one of the songs is “Why does everyone want to kick my ass?”

I DEFINITELY suggest this group. It rules.
