temp job
I dislike the term "Crush" as in "I have a 'crush' on so-and-so." It just sounds so girly. I guess that makes it ok for girls to use it in their everyday speech. So very tired.

Screenplay
Mark: (Apologetic) I thought so too. Rachel, I've been a fool... A fool for leaving you.
Rachel: So now you expect me to forgive you for everything you've done just because you walked through that door and apologized?
Mark: (Confused) Well, I uh-
Rachel: (Angry) No, Mark. I'm not letting you back in. This will continue to happen and I can't take that. I don't think you will EVER change.
Mark: (Even more confused) But Darlin'... I HAVE changed. I realized a few things out on the road. I needed some time to clear my head- to figure a few things out.
Rachel: You know what? I don't CARE! You had your chance, and you WASTED it. I won't let you destroy whats left of my life. I need to move on.
Mark: (Explodes with rage) FINE, BITCH! I tried goddamnit. I tried to fix things. You'll be sorry! (Slams the door as he leaves)
Rachel: (Distraught- In between sobbing) What have I done?

YMCA
Second on my list is a crippled guy who I think might be a trainer of some sort. He rolls around in a go-cart and gets up every now and then to hobble around and get in someone's face to tell them how to lift weights properly. He is a large man with a buzz-cut. He wears glasses and most days he wears really high socks of different color, green on one side, red on the other. In one arm he has a crutch with a forearm brace that he uses to support himself as he hobbles around. His legs are crippled- specifically the right one (I think). I often wonder if he once was a successful bodybuilder who was tragically crushed in some accident. But if you ever hear him talk or interact with people, you might guess he has some sort of crippling disease (he sounds borderline retarded). Why is this guy on my shitlist? Again, he's always there, and you know what they say, "Familiarity breeds contempt." Also, one time I was using the leg press machine and he came up and scolded me for not letting people get on in between sets during peak hours. It really pissed me off for some reason.
Finally (actually there are more but for this entry I will only discuss 3) there is the lady that walks on the good treadmill. This lady has an infant daughter (or son) whom she drops off at the little daycare facility inside the YMCA before she proceeds to hog the good treadmill. The worst thing of all is that she WALKS on it. No running, occaisionally a slight jog, but that is very rare. Normally this would only make me moderately angry, but seeing as there is only ONE treadmill of this type in the entire complex, it really annoys me. She reminds me of the red-haired girl from "Sex in the City." She is fatter and uglier, but just as snooty and self-important as the character in the show. Just looking at this lady makes me tingle with hate.
There. I feel better now.

I don't want to see "Ocean's Twelve"
Nowadays it's all heist movies. Slick hiest movies. Slick hiest movies with not just one big-time blockbuster star, but 4 or 5 or 10. They're all pretty much the same, too. Right down to the "Crazy Twist" at the end. Even the twist is completely predictable. Ooooh there's a double cross! Uh OH! But Clooney had a trick up his sleeve.. Marvelous! Give me a MFing break.

I Give Up
After years and years of trying- putting out more than a modest effort in most everything I do, I've finally realized that it's futile, pointless, and without meaning. From now on I will live a meek, dull, and joyless life without the highs and lows that come from excitement and adventure. My path henceforth will be straight, narrow, flat, and dry.
So good luck in all of your future endeavors and perhaps I'll see you on the other side.
Love,

I Think I'm a Big Man
I maintain a reckless sense of self confidence that sets me above my peers. Is your job really stressful right now? Are you being asked to do too much at the workplace? I bet I could handle it just fine. The holiday season is coming up... will you be able to afford all of the Christmas presents that you're obligated to buy? I can guarantee you that no one on my Christmas list is going to be disappointed.
Why am I better than you? It's all attitude, baby...

Thoughts for the Day
Hmmm...what else....
I had a dream last night that I was back on the farm, and we (pops and I) were trying to load a bull into a livestock trailer in order to take it to the auction out in Central Point. The trailer that came to our house was this huge semi with giant wheels. It was so big, in fact, that I didn't think the bull would be able to get up there... While I was trying to think of a way to get the bull into the trailer, I woke from the dream and I really had to go to the bathroom.

I'm sick of fat girls
Fat Girls on the streets, Fat Girls at work, Fat Girls in restaurants, Fat Girls in bars, Fat Girls in my neighborhood (or so I hypothesize- I haven't really met too many of my neighbors)...so much fat. They walk around like nothing's wrong and then they smile at you like they think they have a chance of being your friend. I cannot bear to even look them in the face. It drains my power.
So often I hear a fat girl make rude remarks about thin girls... "That girl must throw up after every meal" or "Her family must have been too poor to feed her well" or "What a stupid, skinny bitch!" Their claim is that being thin is unnatural. Bullshit. Eating like a pig is unnatural. Exhibiting absolutely zero self-restraint is unnatural. Not engaging in physical activity is unnatural. Eating nothing but cheese and white bread is unnatural. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that one person can behave like someone else and expect to maintain a similar body type. Different people have to do different things. Some have to work harder than others. But the bottom line is- you can control it. I know, I used to be a fat guy.
Also, if you've ever been around a fat girl, I bet you've heard a million excuses for why they never exercise, or why they eat all the wrong foods... "I'm too busy" "I love queso too much" "I'm always too tired at the end of the day" "I'll start next week" You'll start nothing. All you do is talk. Talk talk talk talk. Shut your face.
I see all these fat girls everyday and they outnumber the thin girls 6 to 1. And the fact that they're fat makes the ratio look even worse. I have no reason to try and impress a fat girl, so consequently my motivation to dress nice, bathe, brush my teeth, get haircuts, and to engage in any other form of personal hygeine goes right down the drain. I've lost all hope.

MustaineFan: Dear Good Girl,
I appreciate your request for advice. Your question is a great set-up for many harsh insults, and I would LOVE to make the most of it. HOWEVER, I am no longer bitter, so I will tell you this- Just start dating that nerdy kid who hangs around you constantly, pretending to be your platonic best friend. Do something nice to someone else for a change.

OGRE, OGRE

Now of course in those days ogres weren't allowed in the villages. They kept to the woods and roamed in small circles of four or five. Occasionally you might find a rogue ogre, or "ROGRE" (as they were affectionately called) carrying about by himself. In my dream I was a Rogre. However, as the ploit thickened I was forced to join up with the townsfolk of Udell to battle the Evil Wizard Lionel who had cast a spell upon the entire region of Wilpot. Udell was the largest town in all of Wilpot. The Evil Wizard Lionel's spell turned all of the men of Wilpot into Stone so he could ravish the countryside un-challenged. What he did not realize was that his spells would never affect ogres...but even if he had, he would not have cared because any given ogre would not be bothered if some wizard went around ravishing townsfolk. An ogre only cares about himself and perhaps a few other ogres.
It just so happens that I was a unique ogre in that I had fallen in love with a village girl named Rue. Rue was a milkmaid of common blood and she lived with her family in Udell on the lower west side, near the butcher shop. I know this because sometimes at night I would sneak into town and steal meat. The butcher always left his stable unlocked and you could get into the shop through the stable. I met Rue the night of my first meat robbery. She threatened to scream and wake the town. I told her if she didn't I would give her a sack of appleblossoms that I had found in someone's wagon. She agreed and I knew then that we were destined to be together- ogre and wife. Unfortunately I learned later that she was to be married to Trudeau, the son of Lord Fontane.

Mattress Laaand
Perhaps I have the coffee jitters... maybe I'm suffering from lack of attention... I might have rabies. I'm an animal today. My appetites consume me, yet I'm stuck in my chair, in my cube, in the office, in the city.... I should be out in the woods, running around and attacking things like the animal I've become. I need to take and destroy at will. Why am I such a wussy? | ![]() |

Hungry Dog. Did you know that dogs eat more in the winter without gaining weight? They require the food due to the energy needed to keep warm in the winter.

MOMENT of TRUTH
I want to take a moment now to get serious for a few minutes. I want to take the time to talk to you rather than at you. I am well aware that my readers expect a certain level of sincerity and I want you all to know that I love each and every one of you. When I say "love" I don't mean "Eros"- physical or romantic love, but rather "Phileo", or Brotherly Love.
You may have noticed a few reoccurring themes throughout this web log. First, do I have a fascination with retards? YES. I do. So what? I don't know exactly where it comes from. I do know it comes from one or all of several sources...
My first exposure to a retard occurred when I was in kindergarten. Back then (and maybe still now) the retards were educated alongside the normal kids. We ate lunch with them, we had recess with them. The retard that I remember most vividly from this time was a particularly agressive one. Kids are cruel to other kids, and they are even more so when those kids are retards. The normal kids would harass this retard mercilessly. Being as agressive as he naturally was, he would often lash out at them in defense of his honor, or in defense of the retarded girl that he clung to (or who clung to him).
I could go on and on about the various retards who have influenced me throughout my life, but the preceding two are the ones who made the most impact. Now that I've lost my train of thought and have run out of time, I will call it quits on this entry. Keep reading, and keep the e-mails coming.
Love,
MustaineFan
TIMELESS POETRY
retard
retard
standing on a building
walking up the panes of glass
reaching for the sky
maybe you think i am crazy
i am
i been walking this way for so long
i can't get any better
i am just trying to feel good
you see me living in the morning
so brilliant in the afternoon
nighttime comes and smashes the calm
time for rioting in the cafeterias
time to head to funkytown
there are people dancing in the streets
there are hotdogs all for sale
someone is taking down numbers
someone is stealing my chair
don't ask me any more questions
i am starting to feel sick
these feelings shouldn't be here
i locked them up so long ago
your latino bicycle has a flat tire
my tongue feels like its on fire
shave my head and paint me blue
i need to leave this dump
i need to get away from you

MustaineFan's Weekly Advice:
Dear MustaineFan: I am 17 and I like this guy who is 18 and is one of the managers where I work. I would say that he liked me butt there is one big problem that is in the way-his girlfriend of about 2 years, even though they are always in fights they remain together.He always flirts with me constantly. If I am upset about something he always knows even though my closest friend can never tell, and he always wants to know what's wrong and he tries everything that he can to make me laugh, no matter what it is. One day he called me Jessie and I hate being called that so I told him to call me Jessica because only certain people can call me Jessie and he pointed to my sister(she works there too) and I said know and he goes someone special and I said yes, and he goes can I? And I said no.And the next time he had to ask me to do something he started to call me Jessie but then he goes Jessica, then he asked me if I heard that and I said yes. Everyone thinks that I am super bitchy to him but I can't help it, I feel as though I have to be this way otherwise he will think that I like him which I don't want him to think, even though people have already told him. One morning when I was working and so was he some girl that was also working told him that he flirts to much with me and that I liked him and he said that she didn't know the whole story - well I don't even know the whole story I have no clue as to what he was talking about. I never get to see him except on weekends when I work and sometime not even then becuase we don't always work the same shifts and then I am sad. I guess you could say that we are friends and I am happy about that but I want to have more of a relationship. Another problem is that I am seeing this guy who lives 4 hours away for about 5 months now and I feel bad but I can't help it that I like this guy and that I have strong feelings for him. He always talks like we will get together and fool around sometime but we never do. One day he was like I stopped by your house the other night but you weren't home and I was going to ask you to come out and play (really he didn't) Another time he told me that he called that morning and the funny thing is someone really did call but they hung up but I don't know if it was him or not. I am so confused please help if you can it would be greatly appreciated.
Eagerly Yours,
Scatterbrain
MustaineFan: Dear Scatterbrain,
Are you sure you're not making this up? If a girl started rattling off some unintelligible crap like this to me I'd tell her to go play in the street. That said, what you should do is try this guy on for size. Invite him over while your parents are gone and give him a test drive- if you know what I mean. If there's chemistry, great, and if not it doesn't matter because NO OTHER MAN WILL HAVE YOU!

Derr
I feel much better now, thanks. I had a dream last night that
I was in someone's house and a group of 4 people- myself, two other dudes, and a girl were all watching TV. It was a shitty, old house and the TV was maybe a 25 incher. It was sitting atop a chest-high cabinet, which made viewing from the floor quite painful to my neck. For some reason, perhaps because it was cold, we were all in sleeping bags. I felt really dirty, like I hadn't showered in several days. I can't remember any more of the details, but I remember the girl told me that she thought my arms weren't very defined. I got upset and left.

MustaineFan's Weekly Advice:
Dear MustaineFan: I've been dating this guy for about four months now. We recently broke up due to some common problems. I have never cared about someone as much as I care for him. I don't see him everyday because we go to seperate schools. That makes it hard to keep a realationship going strong, but I was always trying. He's a really good football player, and after every, game girls would come up to him,and hug him, ect. I tryed my best not to get pissed. I don't know if he likes one of them know or what. So this weekend I went on a date, he found out and called that night. He got really jealous and ended up coming over after my date left. He says he loves me but theres so much he worries about. For instance, we're going to seperate colleges and there seven hours apart. I really need some advice. Do you think we still have a chance together?

MustaineFan: Dear Avid Reader,
Ummm....No. Stop trying.
BAD DAY
Working out at lunch usually gives you release as you listen to music while physically squeezing some of the saved-up agression out of your body. But today your mp3 player decided to fuck up and not play properly so you were forced to listen to the grunts and panting of sweaty, old men and fat women trying to use the leg press machine.
Fuming with anger you walk, no, run back to the office in the rain and get in the elevator with 5 other people- who all happen to be going to various floors below yours. You're pissed for all of these things, yet you smile at the elderly secretary as you see her leaving the lunchroom. After you sit back down in your chair and log back onto your computer you see that no new e-mail and no new instant messages have accumulated in your absence. You want to go to sleep. You spend the next moments looking for suitable quotes to put on your website until your eyes begin to hurt. You go to the bathroom.
No one contacts you for the remainder of the day. You leave early and scowl at everyone you see on your way out. In the elevator you remove your belt and outer shirt and stuff them into your backpack. Walking home you feel insecure, like every passing car contains at least two people who are joking with each other at your expense.
You're angry at yourself.

MustaineFan's Weekly Advice:
Dear MustaineFan, i realy like this guy! it all started back in my senior year in high school, last year! we had three classes together and became good friends in school. we never talked or hung out, out side of school. After graduation he got a house down the shore for the summer. all summer long i would think about him. i tried to get a hold of him but that was imposible! When September rolled around i got a phone call from him. since that day we hang out almost every day! Finally about a month or two ago he kissed me. now he only shows effection like once a week. basically we are just friends but i want MOOOOOORE!!!!! how do i tell him this? i can just come out and say it because we are too good of friends nd i feel funny! what now?
Sincerely, Teenage Girl
MustaineFan: Dear Teenage Girl,
First of all, it's AFFECTION. Secondly, It's always been my OPINION that if you want MOOOOORE, you have to do MOOOOOORE. For instance, you might try calling his house a lot and hanging up. You could try collecting things of his and keeping them in a "Special" box in your closet. Oh, and most importantly, you should tell all of YOUR friends, and even some of HIS friends that you two are dating and that it's VERY serious. This is a surefire way to any man's heart!
