You can meet the most fucked up people at church

Since I haven’t posted a Fuck Off and Die Thursday post in forever, this will count to make up the time. Basically, there is this girl from my old church named Amber Alexander. I was, at one point, attracted to her. But I moved on and I am now attracted to more intelligent and better women. Women who can treat a person with the respect and dignity that they themselves want for themselves.

Now, she is brainwashing people into believing that I am immature and jealous of the abuse that she is now lumping on someone more her age. This is not true and I was just comforting a friend of mine with the comment. I will not state my friend’s name because I have a dedication to protecting the innocent. People like Amber, though, don’t deserve friends until they can learn how to respect people.

Support Indie Music: Tip at the LRT stations

When I go into a LRT station or a +15, sometimes there is a dude playing an instrument. I usually try to tip if I have a toonie or a $5 in my pocket. I do this because of the fact that these people make the unbearable wait for a C-train seem more bearable. They use their talents to help make the City of Calgary a better place to live.

These people spend about $45 (I think) for a licence to play in the LRT stations. I am not sure about the +15s but I am certain that there is some sort of licence involved. So I recommend to all Calgarians, throw a toonie or a loonie into the instrument case, hat or toque of the person playing the instruement.

Anonymous Commenters: Leave your e-mail address!

Okay, so I was going through my Akismet spam, checking for false positives (yeah, I do that) and I found an anonymous comment from someone with the e-mail address jane@aol.com. It was on my post about when I was canned at Valero so that the managers could save their own asses. Apparently, this woman decided to accuse of actually taking the food and stated that I should “own up to my own crime”. WTF?

I did nothing wrong and this woman decides to blatantly accuse me for something that isn’t even true. The managers fired me because they were missing $3000 US in inventory and they had to pin it on someone. The rest of the story should be self-explanatory. This happens more often than you’d think in the states but that is because more and more employers are turning to “at-will” employment rather than contract employment.

Anyways, what I want to communicate is that while I do allow for open dialog in this blog, I should be able to contact you to try to explain the situation if you decide to leave comments like this. Or at least a link to your own blog so I can find out how to contact you and give you feedback on what you said.

Shot down again…

Damn, I got shot down again. Oh well, she was nice enough to tell me up front rather than to lead me on and make me think there was something more like one person recently did. No I am not bitter about that. Okay, I still am. But what if I still am? I have a right to be, after what Miranda did to me. But I try not to focus on it. I would much rather find someone that truly loves and cares about me than to focus on a hater.

Speaking on that route, it doesn’t appear that my attempts at finding someone are going well. Every time that I try to find someone, they usually already have a boyfriend or are not dating anyone right now. That could easily translate to they don’t want to date me. Ever. I just wish I could find someone that loves and accepts me for everything I am. Essentially, I want to marry my best friend. I want to date my best friend.

I am not sure I should continue actively looking for love at this point. Maybe if I sit back for a little while, it just might come to me. At least, that’s what I am hoping for.

So, you found the ads?

Well, AdBrite doesn’t seem to be doing anything good for my site so I have decided to try to pound out a new advertising scheme on my site. But do I think they will be intrusive? Not really. I believe that like with every other web page, I have to place ads to keep paying the bills for the server. And if I can help people find a Playstation 3 or a Nintendo Wii, all the better. Basically, these are temp ads, and considering the kind of person I am - they are relevant to this site.

Well, I’d love to stay and chat but I have to go pick up a Bill of Sale for a friend of mine. Peace. ^_^

Getting more than my fair share of crap

Okay, so the day of the DOA meeting, I walk into Words and Pictures and lo and behold - my Green Green DVDs came in. The problem? I ordered them 2 months ago from Words and Pictures and I got them when I got back from Fall Ministry Experience from Amazon.ca. In fact, he made me pay for them with my store credit from those Dungeons and Dragons guidebooks that I returned. WTF?!? So, these DVDs are going back to Amazon.ca since Rob won’t allow me to get a refund at his store. Yeah, from now on I am going to use Amazon.ca to purchase all my anime stuff because Words and Pictures sucks. (Miranda directed me toward this store, so what should I expect?)

Also, I finally moved my site over to MediaTemple. Yeah, I know - I should have done it sooner. I started the process to give Barry my web space so I hope he can forgive the latency of this. Just in case you don’t know, I will fill you in on all the details. Barry runs an Azumanga Daioh fan site called Sata Andagi and a less important site called ThoughtDump.net. Now, normally, I would just give this away to someone through some sort of contest but this guy is on 1&1 web hosting so he kinda got my sympathies on this. (fyi: 1&1 is evil)

When I went to my Post Office box downtown, I found out that I forgot my P.O. Box keys. So I had to get the nice Post Office woman to get my mail for me. Appearantly, my Bleach Original Sound Tracks came in. ^_^ But unfortunately, I had to pay customs fees on one of the CDs, just because it was not correctly classified. It wasn’t too bad though, only about $6.00 or something like that. I wonder what I will have to pay when my books come in from Alibris or my NWN2 Limited Edition DVD comes in from GAME in the UK.

So, after that ordeal, I trudged to Meagan and Matt’s place to watch CSI. So, this entails taking the C-Train from downtown to Brentwood and taking a #20 Northmount bus to the shopping centre that encompasses Safeway, CIBC, Shell, a 7-Eleven, a PetroCanada and a few other places. The trudge up to Meagan and Matt’s house from the bus was fierce as they lived several blocks away, completely barred from the bus. The weather was brutally cold and the streets were completely dark (local time: 7pm). When I finally make it to their house, I am greeted with the promise of Lasagna and about 1 hour of CSI.

Today, I leave my warm, comfortable bed for the cold Calgary weather that doesn’t appear to be getting any better and make my way to ABC to talk with Mr. Pringle. Appearantly, I am to blame because my roommate is a liar and my landlords were douche bags. I don’t understand why this is and I am not quite sure why it is that everyone at that college wishes to bully me. It feels at times that I am helpless in my struggle. It feels as if that the faculty (Mr. Pringle and Mr. Frasier) will not stop their assault against me. I am growing terribly tired of this and I wish that I could just escape…

Roommates never get any better, they only get worse.

Dusten may have been annoying as hell, but at least he isn’t as bad as Doug is. Just so you know, Doug is the person doing the construction work in the house and he may very well be living here once the construction is complete. Basically, he has a VERY short fuse. And unfortunately, it does not appear that Shush (my landlord) will be getting rid of him any time soon. This is a bummer because he is a real douche bag.

However, my other two roommates are really great. Huda barely says a word and keeps to himself, but what little I see of him - he is friendly. And Rob is a very nice and understanding guy. He even took my HP Pavilion laptop off my hands. How about that, talk about nice. The only problem I see is Doug and I am hoping and praying that he really does get evicted.

Probably going to get dooced at school

Talking with Mr. Pringle today got me thinking about how well the school takes freedom of speech. The college is actually very hypocritical and I know at least one person that sees this as well. My blog is a mind dump, more or less. You can write about the things that are going on in your life and it helps you feel much better. When comments come, it makes you feel that you are not alone in the struggle that is life. It is a slice of my life that not everyone sees and they get to view the world that I live in a little differently.

I don’t blog about anything, or share opinions, that I wouldn’t feel happy talking about up on a stage in front of friends and strangers. This is why I am not anonymous nor do I wish to be. My name IS Kyle Korleski (no, that is not a pen name) and I live in Calgary, Alberta for the time being (if I were to move, it’d definitely be to Halifax or Vancouver). I have a loud, outspoken attitude that some people find to be very acidic. I’d love to be stopped and told how much my blog rocks/sucks. I love writing this blog because it gives me a chance and a forum in which to vent my anger, disgust and discontentment with the world, while at the same time celebrating the wonderful things that happen in my life. It is very nice to actually get comments on this blog, and no, the viagra spam comments do not count in this. Continue reading ‘Probably going to get dooced at school’

Humm, a couple of realisations for the site

Okay, I have a couple of things to say before we get to the meat and potatoes of this post. First, I am going to make my website exclusively into a blog. It seems to be about the only thing I have time for with college and what not. When I get to integrating a gallery of my own artwork, I will do so - but not now. As for a portfolio site, well, I am thinking about making a wordpress add-on to handle that aspect of it.

Secondly, I am completely moving this site off of my ASO Lifetime account tomorrow evening. It is going to be on MediaTemple permanently so that my friend over at Sata Andagi can have his space. I am REALLY sorry about delaying this dude, you have got to believe me. So, there may be a point or two where you cannot access my blog. Also, it is being moved to a new domain so that might make things a bit more interesting. Continue reading ‘Humm, a couple of realisations for the site’

Just reinstalled Mac OS X Tiger

I just restored my computer and got back from that meeting with Mr. Pringle/Frasier. The good news is that I am not being expelled and deported. But what is happening is a lot worse. I am being sent to a psychological exam, and that is about as bad. And it appears that not even God, with all his power, can save me from this fate.
