Waking up two hours before your alarm goes off on a Monday morning because you have Ideas has got to be in the top 5 list of BestWorst Feelings.

Waking up two hours before your alarm goes off is a gift…’cause you can go back to sleep. Waking up 2 minutes before your alarm goes off sucks.

Baby Mama Drama

He’s a little family story I’d like to share. My cousin hooked up with this girl. We aren’t that close, so I don’t know the specifics of their relationship other than it was short lived. Anyway, it ended and he got back together with the mother of his children. Apparently the girl contacted him some time later and said she was pregnant with his child. Even though it wasn’t with the girl he was currently seeing, he and his family prepared to welcome this child into the world with open, loving arms. They really are good people. Anyway, a few days ago, she told them that she gave birth 2 months prematurely, and that the child’s lungs weren’t fully developed. Mind you, this girl lives in a different state, so no one had a chance to come see the baby, yet. Yesterday, she told them the baby had passed. His whole family was crushed. They really are a loving bunch. Turns out, after some investigation, they found out the girl had made the whole thing up. She was never even pregnant.

OK. Whatever, you say. Why didn’t he go see her during her pregnancy or the “baby” after it was born? I don’t have the answers to those questions, but I can tell you they thoroughly mourned the loss of this fake child. Here is what my aunt had to say on her Facebook (I replaced my cousin and his girlfriend’s name with asterisks):

“FB Family / Friends… The Grandaughter ( Chloe ) that had died Was ALL A Lie… Our Son ”Felt” something Was Not right w/ the situation and **** (gf) & **** did some investigating.. went to Hospitals in ElPaso, Texas … No Record of ‘Chloe’ or her Mom… Well ***’s (gf) J**** went online.. ( She is a Good lil investigator ) and I am Sorry to say… The Pictures that were sent to Us Telling Us it is Chloe … Came From Google :( I Have Cried till I can’t cry Anymore, Our Family/Friends have Mourned, No Sleep, Everyone Sending Condolences etc…. This Has weighed on Me & Our Family… How can Someone Be So Cruel & Heartless????? This is Just Sick… All that She Did to Make Us Believe Chloe exsited then Died…. ** I Am Numb & Feel Sick inside** … I Love You All for Being here for Our Family/Friends ♥ ♥”

Some bitches be crazy.

Why the fuck is Tumblr linking words in my posts to advertisements?

Is there a way to disable that? I fucking hate it.

toobadvampire asked: Tag, you're it! Here are the rules: Each tagged person must post ten things about themselves. You have to choose and tag ten people. Go to their blogs and tell them you tagged them. No tag back. :)

1. I have been an ordained minister since 2003.

2. I am a machinist at Caterpillar. My building makes tractor transmissions. My section makes shafts. I run a grinder.

3. I have exactly 30 pairs of shoes (including boots and flip-flops).

4. I had a mullet through all of my teen years. I have been growing my hair out since last Christmas so I can cut it into a mullet next Halloween.

5. I have a dog named Buddy. I named him that to help break my habit of over using “buddy” as a placeholder name.

6. I frequently have dreams where my grandma and, especially, grandpa are still alive. He died in 1996, she in 2002.

7.I still have a douchey, “big bass” car stereo, but have spent a lot of time and money soundproofing my vehicle, so people outside can’t hear it.

8. I spend a considerable amount of time fanaticising about going back in time, by transferring my knowledge and experience into the brain of my younger self. 

9. I sleep with a CPAP machine to control my sleep apnea. 

10. I drink a fifth of Jose Cuervo Silver almost every night. 

Bonus. I am a huge fan of the Star Trek franchise, however I cannot stand the Original Series. Not a big fan of the newest movie, either. 

My Take on the Louis CK Thing.

I am a big fan of “obtaining” free media. That said, I was happy to purchase the Louis CK special. He’s my favorite comedian. Just fucking brilliant. But that’s not why I bought it. I bought it because it was cheap. I bought it because I know he was receiving the profit, not the CEO of some big production company. I bought it because he asked me to. 

If a band I liked offered their CD for download online at the price of $5, I would happily buy it, as well. The reality is, however, that media is overpriced. This is not because of piracy, rather, piracy is because it it. Spending $.99 - $1.30 a song or $20+ for a movie is just ridiculous. There are simply too many hands in the cookie jar. 

I hope this marks a crossroads of how people distribute their material. Louis CK put himself out there, I think, to try to help facilitate this. He proved it can be done successfully, if you have the balls and love for your fans to make it happen. Big companies aren’t going to like it. They have too many people to pay and a few too many people making too much money. It would be nice to see this trend of independent distribution catch one, but I fear the corporate mongrels will try to find a way to stop it. They have a lot at stake and a lot of money to spend towards getting what they want. 

It’s up to us to cast our capitalistic votes.
