Shut the front door…

Well this has been a pretty crummy week.. first my car, then my suit.. and the final topper – a big fuck you from the Burbank PD to me and my fellow smokers.. well thank you for that.. i’m being treated like a criminal for an act that is entirely legal… in fact you can buy cigarettes at the local convenience stores but not smoke them?.. WTF?… well great.. i hate you too burbank… i’m getting my car fixed… and my suit.. well.. i’m hoping that it can be fixed.. but probably not.. but at least i have the love of the city of burbank burning warmly in my heart…
I hate the fact that california has become such a nanny state.. i pay taxes… fuck i pay a lot of taxes.. and i pay taxes on a product i can barely use.. we say certain people can’t marry and a bunch of other dumb laws put in place under the guises of public care.. wow.. it’s beginning to suck a lot ain’t it.. and so while the police couldn’t even come out to my house when my car was broken into, but can make sure they’re protecting us from the evils of the smoking i guess california’s in good hands.. i just hope that my fine goes to something useful, like giving a councilman a nice raise or making burbank an even “nicer” place to hang out at.. and as the sun rises.. i should get some sleep.. because.. you know.. i need to get my car fixed..

I’ve been using CrossLoop lately as a way to fix people’s computers. It gives me a few side jobs, but it’s also perhaps a good way to get more of a footing into freelancing work. I’d love to use collaboration tools, but some people suck at using them.. and I haven’t had much experience with them.. so i need to brush up..
I have this strange feeling of abandonment.. don’t get me wrong.. i’ve abandoned a few people in my time.. but at the same time.. it’s weird to have it happen to me.. but in any case… I’ve also found quite a few xanthros and nulledge’s out there.. curse them all for taking my good name.. I’ve had my nick (xanthros) since 1998… in the early days of the internet.. nulledge.. that was born a few years later.. but still pretty early. Why did i not buy nulledge.com?.. well.. because at the time i thought .net would be cooler.. now.. i regret that decision.. but what is done.. is done.
