on the vexatious nature of drama queens
Jan. 8th, 2009 | 07:33 pm
I think that in life people have motivating factors which help bump their psyche along throughout the course of the day..
Whether it's work, play, hobbies, or a combination of the three. The list could certainly be expanded to get more elaborate but because I have to work.. it's staying like this. Personally I have had this quest for knowledge which has become my favorite past time and besides that I like to entertain people.. (which I may not be doing right now..)
What I am discovering now a days is that more and more people are running out of things to do and when that happens.. people turn on themselves and begin to fabricate drama out of thin air!
You all have that friend or perhaps you are surrounded by these types of people.
The friend who always has a "serious" problem and that problem usually has, what would appear to be, the most simple of solutions.
It's your girlfriend who always complains about her boyfriend and you can say "so break up with him?" and you get the long drawn out reason as to why she shouldn't break up with him.. the usual.. "well it's not like this all the time.." only to hear her say a week later "he ALWAYS does this!"
It's the friend who tells you about their current problems with their job, and it's the same story told over and over again and when you reply "so quit already?" The response is virtually the same.. there are many reasons given as to why they should stay... but the one loud, obnoxious, unrepentant reason for leaving.. has never changed.
I am not saying there is anything wrong with sharing your problems with your friends and I encourage it. One should always try to incorporate that kind of bitching with one of your hobbies. Maybe go to the gym with a friend and dish about how crappy your girlfriend is at giving head.
I think the big problem is people who have made being a drama queen their only hobby. My experience in life is that there is a lot of shit being flung at us.. we can take the words of JC and turn the other cheek, we can take a Buddhist perspective which is that Karma takes care of it and there's probably a reason it's happening. *one hand clap*
Or we can take the drama queen route and play victim and ask "why me?"
Let me tell you why it's you and not the rest of us. It's because while you like to pound the drum and let everyone know how much shit is being flung at you. There are a percentage of people who just keep plugging through life realizing that..
"yeah it smells like shit in here.. and it's gonna keep smelling like shit till I die.. so I should just get used to it and keep going."
There are of course a large percentage of people who will not even understand what I am talking about or my analogy because they spend a lof ot time intoxicated on any of the intoxicants we have at our disposal. (anyone wanna play Halo?)
If you one day find yourself surrounded by drama queens.. you should know.. that these types of people tend to travel in packs. It's like a self pitying murder of whiny crows just waiting to pick out your optimistic eyes.
You may wonder how I became aware of this type of person.. well I'm not just a recovering drama queen myself.. I was chairman Kamloops Chapter of Drama Queens local 403.
Ah yes the good ol KDQ... oh our meetings.... the things we'd talk about.. like..
"oh God I hate Kamloops.. what a smell.. what a hole.. (yet I still remain.)"
"Oh my boyfriend and I are not having sex.. we're not having sex because we're fighting.. he tells me he's mad at me because we're not having sex.. what do I do?"
So.. if you should all of a sudden realize, as your sitting in your friends basement drunk and bitching about your life.. at least pick up a deck of cards and play. That way through the course of the game it may steer the conversation away from your black hole of drama-dom. I recommend playing asshole.. at least the name is fitting for your behavior.
A drama queen is much like the little boy who cried wolf.. the first few times your friends will run like the villagers to assist. After a while they come less and less.. .eventually you'll be stuck in a field with no one around and realize that "hey is it just me... or does this place ALWAYS smell like shit?" and that's the word.

CBC - The Fifth Estate : The Lies That Led To War
Jun. 21st, 2007 | 06:11 pm
| "CBC - The Fifth Estate : The Lies That Led To War" on Google Video |  |
| Since the US-led invasion four years ago, the fifth estate has covered Iraq and the war on terror from virtually every angle--the military, media, intelligence, politics--revealing aspects of the story that you didn't find anywhere else. Now, as the White House warns about the latest threat in the region, this time from Iran, it's worthwhile looking back to examine the deception, suspect intelligence, even lies, that convinced the world of the rightness of targeting Saddam Hussein. The political decisions behind the invasion The Lies That Led To War is drawn from these stories: In 2003's The Forgotten People, the fifth estate examined the human rights arguments used to make a case for war. We looked at the sale of technology by the US to Iraq during the 1980's despite the fact that this equipment could be, and was used eventually, in military operations by Saddam Hussein against Kurdish civilians. After the gassing of the Kurds in 1988, American business with Iraq actually increased. In Act of Faith which aired that same year, the fifth estate examined how George Bush and Tony Blair struck a deal that would lead to the invasion of Iraq. It was a deal struck while UN diplomats worked to avert conflict in the weeks and months leading up to March 19, 2003. In the widely acclaimed Conspiracy Theories and the Unauthorized Biography of Dick Cheney, which aired in 2003 and 2004 respectively, we looked at intelligence failures leading up to 9/11, Dick Cheney's power within the White House and his Halliburton connections, as well as the links between the Bush family, the Saudi Royal family and the Bin Ladens. Selling the war in Iraq In 2005's Sticks and Stones, we turned our attention to the American media and how they covered the ongoing war in Iraq, public dissent, as well as the increasingly hostile tone between left and right in American discourse. Now, The Lies That Led To War provides context to the events of the previous six years, showing how political, diplomatic, media spin – which sometimes crossed the line into outright lies - have been used by the those in power to further their own agendas. |

 | VoicePost  242K 1:13 | “Hi, good morning. It's like 9:30 pacific standard time. I think, I don't have a clock around me. In the basement with a big cat litter box next to me. I've had my LiveJournal for a long time. I took some time away & I've decided to turn to a LiveJournal. E deleting MySpace book & MySpace page. I still have another MySpace page, but it's a personal one. And when I say personal, it's for the music that I do, but anyways. Meeting a friend today. Kind of excited about that. I've always wondered how my voice sounds. I'm sure everyone is concerned how their voice sounds, but ya know, whatever. It could sound like this, cheep(?) to me, but gross. So, I don't know how many of you are my friends that actually know or if you even remember me. I used to be quite prolific with my journal entries, but ___ I'm not blah the qua, who I think posts 400 times a day. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Oh, bless. Anyhow, have a great day, whoever's listening & if I don't like you & your listening. Fuck you man.” Auto-Transcribed Voice Post - spoken through SpinVox |

It's good to be home..
May. 28th, 2007 | 08:54 am
So yes after a few months away.. I have returned home.
I started this journal in 2000 and almost abandoned it last year.. but here I am.. like coming home to mother.. I have returned.. the prodigal son..
cheese.
So what have I been up to? Well first let me tell you why I deleted my LJ for a short time.
I worked on ships for a while.. I dunno if you knew that.. but anyways.. last year in the fall I met a guy.. named Joshua.. and we ended up having some sexual relations.. so I wrote about it *like i have always done* in my LJ.. how i felt about it.. what happened.. and all that jazz.. well some creeeeeepy guy named Matt.. "stumbled on to" *that's what he said to me one night* my LJ and read all about it.. and then emailed my cruise director on my old ship.. demanding to know "the nature of the relationship" between Josh and I.. he also requested that I not be placed on the Serenade of the Seas.. which is "his" ship.
So I had to delete it..
So while I was gone I was dabbling with myspace and facebook..
I did go to the Serenade where Matt was.. and strangely.. a week after josh got there.. and within 2 weeks of Matt arriving..
I was dismissed of my duties.
So now I am back in Canada.
I have deleted my facebook and myspace and have great aspirations to make this my journal of choice once again.. but this will be the only unrestricted public post..
After this I go back to friends only.

i don't know if many of you know. *by the way more of you are going to be deleted soon.*.. but I am a very liberal person.. not to say that I am a member of the liberal party.. but I am a person who has left thing thinking.
Recently.. there have been polls conducted by our local paper and television station which state that if there is an election called shortly.. that it is a split between the LIBERALS and the CONSERVATIVES which is strange.. because the local NDP *read socialist* party member Michael Crawford stated a few weeks ago that it was a two party race.. *he and the conservative member*
none of this matters.. I want you people to know that I am a liberal person.. I think that we don't have the right to tell an individual what they can do with their bodies.. *even though I think that the father of a baby has to have SOME rights* I think that gun control policies keep Canadians safe from the overwhelming gun violence which plagues our neighbors to the south *yes I know I spelled neighbors in the American way. sorry*
I believe stem cell research is important as it has the possibility to help many afflictions and diseases which affect not only adults in Canada.. but also young people.. and while nay-sayers say that using embryonic stem cell research kills embryos...sometimes you literally have to break a few eggs to make an omlete.. and that may make me seem like a heartless person.... and if you have a bleeding heart then I will quote Pierre Trudeau :
"there's a lot of bleeding hearts... all I can say is.. go on and bleed"
It bothers me that our local MP *member of parliament for my american friends* voted NO against Bill C-13 – Legislation of stem-cell research, cloning and related issues.
Betty Hinton has, in the past, effectively shut people down with their questions involving aborition and stem cell research by saying that since she's lost a baby.. it's a closed subject.
Now I think that is grossly irresponsible.. however.. if it is discovered that she has in fact since answered that question I will apologize and retract my statements.
Even though Betty has been in power for the past few years.. let's understand that
Kamloops isn't as conservative and crazy as a lot of people would like us to believe. Let's state this:
"Kamloops isn't as conservative as we've been told it is."
FACT
Len Marchand was the first Native Canadian *or first nations* person elected to the Commons in 1968.
FACT
Kamloops elected the first Chinese Mayor in North America.. back in 1966
Peter Wing served for three terms.
The left.. which in my opinion should be called the RIGHT ideals... should stand up.. and have a voice.. we're a University town now.. and if those assholes at the university could just step back from their school work for a moment and care more about their future... *care for more than how much money they are going to make from their "good jobs"* and actually VOTE.. perhaps things would be different. now I know a lot of the students there actually can't vote in Kamloops... but they can vote elsewhere.anyways... the thousands of young people from Kamloops and in Kamloops who know..and party with them can absorb some freakin intelligence.. and make a choice..
There is so much apathy in todays generations.. fuck generation X or generation Y.. call it generation I don't give a fuck..
you know.. I wish I didn't either.. but strangely I do..
Even if you don't want to vote for me in the future..
Just know.. that my name is Joey Jack.. and I care about the future of our world.. and I care about the liberties of the individual.. while I still care about the welfare of the people of Canada.
I may not run for election any time soon... *city council not withstanding*
When I do.. I want you to know exactly where I stand.. I will never spin..
Which is why I will never be elected.
Lord knows I will do my best to make sure Betty Hinton will never be elected.
AGAIN.

So the summer is almost here.. I awake each morning to birds chirping, and an annoying fucking dog two houses over whose owners leave for work everyday at precisely 6AM which means at 6:04 AM the dog begins barking... anyways... So the sound of birds chirping, the cars whizzing by.. near by a babbling brook with the odd rainbow trout jumping for the fly that got a little to close to the creek bed. Overhead an eagle soars watching over us all...
ok this just got a bit too cheesy.
It's summertime and the sun is shining.. and you know what that means..
It means the gays will be coming out of their winter homes and demanding special treatment.
We can't have that..
Watch this video.. then continue
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ebpWUtQ6
At first I thought "oh he's a cute guy..probably a bottomboy *larf*" but look at what he has to say..
To which I responded:
Homophobia is generally a term applied to those whom not only "disapprove" of said "lifestyle" but also used to describe those who use violent methods, or provide predjudical treatment to gays and lesbians simply because of who they sleep with. I suppose the "special treatment" you speak of won't end until homophobia does. Remember gays died right along side the Jews in Auschwitz. Pink triangle anyone?
It always makes me think about my own personal gayness.. I think of the "special treament" I get and I can kind of boil it down to this.
When someone screams out of their car window "HEY FAGGOT" I understand I am special.. as I know they couldn't be talking to the old ladies walking just up ahead of me.. that is of course unless these guys know something I don't.
I hate that font..
I think of the special treatment Matthew Shepard got when he had his head cracked open by two guys who were afflicted by "gay panic." I personally have had gay panic.. it's when you're cooking for a dinner party and realize you've run out of prosciutto and have to hit the market for some more. I gather it's a different type of gay panic though.
Matt Shepard
Matthew had special treatment.... I don't think those guys would have done it to a straight man.. I don't think there's such a thing as "straight panic." I wouldn't know.. I'm not part of that club.
Aside from that I'm not sure what kind of special treatment I get.. oh.. I can get married.. but I don't want to get married. So fuck that shit.
Chappelle show.. chappelle show..
Black people, were, for a long time treated like shit. Their contributions to the world via inventions, hard work *slavery?* artistic, and other accolades were either marginalized or ignored completely until one day people whom identified as black decided that enough was enough and they wanted to have a voice too.. After a few (ok more than a few) decades they fought and fought for some rights and now there is a "Black History Month" a time where black people can reflect and share their rich and colorful (no pun intended) history with the world.
Women or people whom have identified as women have also been treated like shit for a long time, and again, eventually they began to stand up for their rights and were deemed "persons" and through years of hard work..sadly I think it may still take some more time.... they too have a month celebrating the many delightful contributions to our history, culture, and bellies .. *my grandma makes a mean Pineapple delight.*
I like your smock!
Even Aboriginal people whom arrived on this rock as long as ten thousand years ago are treated like shit.. and after years of trying to pull themselves up by their boot straps... ok let's be honest.. people are still treating aboriginals like shit.
It's probably why Aboriginals have only earned themselves a day.
Women get a whole month to honor them... October *cold*
Black people get a whole month... February *cold*
Mothers get a whole day!!
Gay people just want a week... usually in the summer *more shirtless guys*
Yummy...haha
Gay people, or people whom have identified as gay people or persons.. have also contributed a whole hell of a lot to our history, culture, and hairstyles.
People whom are not accepting of gay people will almost undoubtedly always say "you just want a reason to parade around in next to nothing"
To them I say "damn straight...(no pun intended).
Heterosexual people get 365 days a year to walk proud with their heads up holding the hand of their partner.. gay people just want one week.
Sure we'd like everyday.. but we're realists.

what a night
Nov. 8th, 2006 | 10:43 am
I was up almost all freakin night talkin to Jodi about this and that.. we hadn't had a long conversation like that in what seems like forever!
I am happy for her and hope everything works out for her!
Now the big purpose of this post is to.. blow off some.. steam? I don't even know if it's steam.. it's something though.
When a relationship of mine ends.. it never really ends.. well not unless I really want it to.. like my first and second boyfriends.. I don't care about them anymore.. I suppose it's only cos I've not seen them in a long time.
Speaking of the past.. well my ex Christopher and I have kept in distant contact since the introduction of myspace.com
It has been very nice to keep in touch.
Last night we were having casual conversation about our collective pasts.. and I made the suggestion we talk on the telephone.. which we did!
I was asking him what was new.. and all that jazz.. he told me about his new job, and why he stopped doing his old one.. then I asked him about his new relationship.. and he told me:
"we're together.. he doesn't beat me.. and there's nothing too much else to say.. is it spectacular..?? no.. but it is predictable"
To hear someone so young speak so.. apathetically about a relationship.. I said "i am dissapointed in you"
he responded "what can I tell you Joey.. you are the love of my life."
He has been with his current guy for 2 and a half years.
Well.. my heart started to thud in my chest.. it was as if we had just fell in love again..
I told him I was going to see him in June.. and that I had always wanted to take him out on a real date.. I asked him to clear his schedule.. which he said he would.
I am not expecting anything to happen.. but I wouldn't feel right with myself if Ididn't go and find out.
Do you know what I mean?
I have to jump into this with both feet..
3 years ago I made a choice.. I made the choice NOT to quit drinking.. and I made the choice to agree to a 2 month extension of my contract..
Right now my choice is to see where that goes.
Even if it's into the ground.
Today will be a good day.
I am happy for her and hope everything works out for her!
Now the big purpose of this post is to.. blow off some.. steam? I don't even know if it's steam.. it's something though.
When a relationship of mine ends.. it never really ends.. well not unless I really want it to.. like my first and second boyfriends.. I don't care about them anymore.. I suppose it's only cos I've not seen them in a long time.
Speaking of the past.. well my ex Christopher and I have kept in distant contact since the introduction of myspace.com
It has been very nice to keep in touch.
Last night we were having casual conversation about our collective pasts.. and I made the suggestion we talk on the telephone.. which we did!
I was asking him what was new.. and all that jazz.. he told me about his new job, and why he stopped doing his old one.. then I asked him about his new relationship.. and he told me:
"we're together.. he doesn't beat me.. and there's nothing too much else to say.. is it spectacular..?? no.. but it is predictable"

SO yeah I went and saw a band tonight.. well a couple bands.. and this one called Matadors Conquest.. were absolutely amazing!
Not to take away from what my friends did.. cos they were kicking as well.. but it just made me think "we got nothing on these kids"
When I was younger.. if there was a horn in a band.. it's cos SKA was popular.. but these kids.. used the horn in a slightly different way.. like they used the horn in "ramble on" a led zeppelin cover.. anyhow.. I was thoroughly impressed!
here's a video of their performance!
it's black and white and from the back of the place
