Crappy ATC Swap Returns

You know I put a lot of thought & energy into making Artist Trading Cards for swaps & to trade on the site atcsforall.com. In a recent swap of "Counting Crows" I was given three cards which I am not the least happy with. One was, in my perception, a half hearted SCRIBBLE of a crow/blackbird, the other two were collages which I don't really care for in the first place. I've been very pissed off about getting crappy returns from swaps & I am not so sure what I should do....if anything. I'm sure the site admins would tell me art is different for each person. Everyone's vision of art is different, granted, but a half-hearted scribble is not something I want to get in exchange for my hard work. Maybe this is some sort of lesson I have to learn. My patience with the world is growing thin. All I ever see or hear is hate & anger & it is getting to me. I find no peace in life anymore. The building I live in is noisy, the neighbors are noisy & dirty & they don't give a shit about anyone else around them.

Why should I, then, give a shit if nothing good comes from it.

Anyhow, off track a little there...I want my own place far away from noisy, dirty people where I can live in peace & harmony with only Nature around me for company.

This is not the first swap I have been apart of where I have gotten cards that I did not care for in return. I'm considering not participating anymore because that is the only way I will be able to control what I get in return. If I just do 1/1 trades, then I can pick & choose.

One day, I will host a swap & I will try my damnedest to do like for like trades. Not just willy nilly trading them out.

Fucking Cell Phones!!

Everyday I have to deal with stupid shits attempting to drive while a phone is attached to one ear, or in one case....both. GET OFF YER FUCKING CELL PHONE & DRIVE LIKE YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT.

Oh what's that? The lane is merging? I'm sorry what? I wasn't paying attention because THE CELL PHONE WAS IN MY EAR. Now I am up where the merge sign is making rude gestures because no one will let me in the line.

Fucker! Let me in!

Hell no you stupid fucking cell phone user! Get in line like the rest of us did when we saw the merging sign 2 minutes ago!!

GET OFF THE FUCKING PHONE & FUCKING DRIVE!!!! YOU ARE A HAZARD TO EVERYONE INCLUDING YOURSELF WHEN YOU CANNOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE RULES OF THE ROAD!!

You've got to be kidding. Please tell me this is a joke: a knitted fuckin cozy for a Humvee?!

You've got to be kidding....please tell me this is a joke...

Has anyone else caught wind of these people (who have got to be bored out of their minds to think this one up) knitting a COZY for a fuckin Humvee?? I can't stop thinking about it! I link not because I do not agree with it. But I am sure you can find it if you know where to look.

Upon reading the website about it I am taken aback by what is so wrong about this idea. They are aiming to knit a cozy...A FUCKIN COZY...for a military sized Humvee and while knitting it they say the knitters should meditate on the trauma that has ensued the middle east. Working on the quantum physics theories that like attracts like...WHY IN ANY GOD'S NAME WOULD WE WANT TO BRING IN MORE TRAUMA BY FOCUSING ON IT?!!! *bangs head on desk* This is just wrong on in so many ways, on so many levels! These folks are asking people to focus on the wrong ideas! If we want to make a statement that we are against the war, don't you think we should be focusing, meditating, on PEACE?! All the time, energy, and resources that the soldiers (whether I agree or not with the war is irrelevant) are fighting for overseas is going to be utterly WASTED on this piece of fabric for a FUCKING MACHINE!! If we want to make a difference, lets go knit socks for the soldiers or send them cards for Fucks sake!! What difference is a gigantic fuckin COZY FOR A GOD-DAMNED MACHINE going to make?! What is the damned machine gonna do with all that yarn wasted on it?

Where is the outrage at this utter waste of resources in the name of this god-forsaken fuckin war??

And now, I go to beat up the punchin bag...

OMG! This is sooooo true! Every other time I call charter I get some guy with a heavy indian accent whom I cannot understand and whom does not understand me!!! WHYYYyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!? I called the other day because we had not gotten our cable modem and our current ISP was gonna be disconnected the day I called. I got some foreign shit who was trying to tell me that someone was coming to install it that friday. I told him we ordered a self installation kit...he said yes ma'am installation will be here on friday. (!!!!!!!!!!) He did not understand what I was saying!!!!
I hung up and called again...finally got an American to speak to who knew exactly what I was saying and ordered a modem to be delivered by next-day UPS. What was so hard about that?

You live in an English speaking country, don't yeah think it would be prudent to learn and fully UNDERSTAND the native language before you come here in the first damned place? And what is up with employers hiring these non-english understanding peoples! It ought to be a requirement to speak and understand the native tongue!!!! Cripes!

Rant-rant-rant.

American Idol Rant

Curtisy of illwillpress.com!!

What use is he then? Practice what ye teach?! HA!

What fuckin use is it to have a president who does not listen to what the people who elected his dumb ass into office, say they want to happen? What is up with that? I cannot wait till this dumb-bo is out of office. The next guy is gonna have a hell of a mess to clean up after Bush is done massacuring American men-and for what?! We went in there, got the guys responsible for the attacks on the towers and now....3, no 4 years later we are still there to try and get that damned government on the ball over there? I'd say it's fat-ass failure because they keep draggin thier feet!

And what is up with China bitchin about Madison WI flying the tibetan flag to show respect for the Dolly Lama and his country on his visit here? Were do they get the idea that they have a spit's say in what flag we decide to fly to honor whomever decides to visit?? If their delegates were to came here to visit, we would fly the Chinese flag to show respect for them. What the fuck?

I saw a lady on the corner today with a sign that read "Pray for America". Honey, I'd like to say, we need a bit more than some idol prayin now. *big eye-roll* All for the saving of America as long as they do not have to get personally involved, lift a finger, or sweat a drop. Grrrr. But really, what can anyone do to save us now? All great nations throughout history have fallen...it is only a matter of time before it happens again.

And while I am on a ranting parade...I am sick and tired of people shoving their religion in each others faces! Especially Christians with their twisted perverted bullshit. Not all who call themselves Christians do this, but those who do need to find a better hobby! Not everyone believes the same, yours is not the only one in the world, yours is not the only true religion....faith is a personal and spiritual journey-no matter the form nor the name-nor what form of Diety is involved. WHy should it matter? NO one knows what happens when we die. There is NOTHING to tell us that ANY religion will do ANYONE'S soul any good. And why waste your time here on earth pushing your beliefs onto people who won't have any of it? It's rediculous! Christianity is a perversion of the old ways. It's okay to kill so long as it is justified by perverting the texts, to twist them around to suit their needs. It's okay to do wrong so long as you admit your wrongs at "Confession" then it is okay to do it again. BULLSHIT. Such suffering they have caused throughout the centuries! How about a little practice what ye teach?

Portrait of a Stalker....

Hey BABABLACKSHEEP, crazy incoherent babbling idiot that you are, you must be twelve years old (or maybe an old fart acting like one) because it's kinda hard to flake a swap...when one actually completes the swap...don't cha think? Do you even know what flake means? Funny how the actual flaker is accusing others who know how to complete the obligations of signing up for a swap, of flaking! You are an angry and disturbed individual to take out your own shortcomings out on the people who force you to take responsibility for your own thieving actions. You really don't pay any attention to anything further away than your own nose, do you? Because, if you did, you would know that your idiotic babblings are completely off base-and it shows! Are you jealous?! Maybe you are just a disturbed individual. Don't do drugs-they mess with your head yeah know. Or better yet, take what your doctor has givin you, I'm sure there is a really good reason why you should be taken your medications.

My goddess, you are such a child! You try to say I have diarrhea of the mouth...but you never shut the fuck up!!! LMFAO! Kinda like the pot calling the kettle black! You're attempts to provoke me into a flaming war are so very amusing and entertaining! You don't want to start a flaming war my fucking ass ain't big!!! You are so full of shit! And your comments get more and more incohesive the harder you try!! Come on crazy psycho woman...gimmie some more that I can forward to the people asking about you! You arn't foolin anyone.
