The first reason for doing this is that I am a transsexual woman and I am NOT going to deal with the crap that the YayHooray crowd is going to start with that. I want to transition with a level of semi-privacy and I want to do this with as much freedom as possible. Problem is - I already have enough obligations and requirements set upon me that restrict my freedoms and rights. And I have too many people against me when I write to justify writing my blog as “helping people” anymore. I want to help people and provide a service through this blog. However, I cannot say that I am doing this anymore, because I know that it is not true. I’ve already suffered enough from my blog. I’m going to keep it open though, for archival reasons and to continue selling the advertising.

The second reason is that I have never identified as “The Darkest Evil” and I am a nice person at heart. I am not a bad person and I do not advocate for evil. So, therefore, I cannot ethically identify as “The Darkest Evil” anymore. Therefore, I resign writing for this blog and may, in the future, write for another blog under my new identity but I must keep true to myself and my beliefs. I will keep the blog online, though - because I still see some value to keeping it online. However, I am disabling comments.

So goodbye world!

1. It isn’t worth it - An Apple iPhone costs $500-$600 and for a 4GB/8GB model. Is this a sexy phone? Without a doubt. But I’m not going to be in the country around 2-3 years from now. In that timeframe, I will be moving BACK to Canada for personal reasons.
2. It’s the first generation model - Do you remember the first generation iPod? Yeah, take a look at those specs and think about how a 5GB and a 10GB iPod is a few GB shy of the iPhone’s 4GB/8GB models. Okay, now look at the current iPod models - the fifth generation iPods. We have 30GB and 80GB iPods now. These new iPods are even more beautifully designed than the first generation iPods, have a lot more storage capabilities and can do more than the first generation iPods. It’s all the more reason to wait for the new iPhones to come out.
3. Exclusivity with AT&T - Apple really screwed the pooch when they decided to partner with one of the most evil and insidious of monopolies in the history of the United States, AT&T. Twenty years ago, AT&T hold dominion over much of the long-distance and local telephone service in the continental United States. However, in a more pro-consumer government, they were forced to disband and a number of “Bell” companies assumed the authority of long distance provider. Now, AT&T has bought them out as well as buying out Dish Network, Cingular and other service companies. AT&T already has their evil hands back into most of the US and we are now in a pro-corporate US.

I think that’s all of it. However, I can’t help but thing that I’ve forgotten something.

Complete restructuring of my professional life - I am restructuring my freelance web design business (Rexanni) so that, in the near future, I can include print design and application development/design into the offering of services by Rexanni. While I am developing products right now which may not allow me to see immediate financial benefits, I am working to make all the sites that I am working on become profitable. Soon, we plan to sell THL.org premium memberships and t-shirts/other merchandise that people might like. This means that I have to start trying to reduce the cost in the payment processes because PayPal can be a pain in the ass about that, so I am looking to start finding a way to accept credit cards. And to do this, I’m going to have to rely on an Authorize.net payment gateway provider like Dharma Merchant Services. This means that I have to legally register Rexanni, LLC here in Texas as well (until I move out to Canada).

Complete reorganization of everything I own - I’m not an organized person and I truly admit this. My room is a hell hole, my files on my computer lack a true method of organization at times and the categories of my blog result in ugly permalinks. I am planning to move the blog over to a new domain name, create custom 301 redirections to where the posts will be, move Mint over and do a lot of other things so my new blog will be much cleaner to access. I’ve also toyed with the idea of continuing to post here while fading out of activity here and posting more and more at my new blog. But I do not truly believe that the blog title “The Darkest Evil” fits who I am, who I was nor who I want to be in the future. It was an inside joke that, with the benefit of hindsight, makes me look like a complete and evil jerk - even if some of the content is harmless and innocent. So, I need to find a way to transition my content, pagerank and other resources over to a new domain because I just finally started making money with Text Link Ads.

There are other things I need to do before my life can improve, but I have to do all these tasks one agonizing process at a time.

As for the country music thing, that is not entirely true. I was in Texas and heard country music a lot. However, it was never so in my house. I never heard a note of country music while in the house or duplexes. My parents were more into classic rock, which can explain my repeated plays of such artists like Big Country, the Moody Blues, Jimmy Buffett, Sting and other such artists on Last.fm. Yes, I have a bit of my parent’s taste in music, so to be perfectly honest - they did not like country and neither did I. And I was never forced to listen to country music by any member of my family. Although while in the Windstar with my mom, she did play the radio and sometimes artists like Shania Twain would come on (no, I have no grievance with Shania Twain, I like the music of Shania Twain). So I was never really focibly exposed to terrible country music by my family. I want to make that exceptionally clear.

• I re-discovered the meaning of Buddhism - I found out the reason why I became a Buddhist in the first place and I found out that I am way too critical of people with other faiths. Even still, I have also realized that Buddhism is not really a faith but yet, a set of rules on living better. Furthermore, they largely teach you how to live fuller, happier lives. I will elaborate on this later. So, I am going to try to overlook the evils of Christianity and just restate my love and compassion for it’s followers.
• I re-discovered a love for my work - I have fallen into a design slump and I have felt like I was getting creatively emptied. But then, I took another look at how I’ve been doing things and I may very well be able to make a sustainable income once again. I am now re-inspired and re-fueled to do what I love and to love doing it. I am going to do whatever it takes to remain self-employed and save up as much as I can.

Those are the two areas that just clicked for me. I am going to explain them further in future posts, but now - I am working on a project that may bring me out of the poor house. I have been waiting for a job like this just so I can break even.

My 20th birthday is coming up soon. In fact, I am going to be 20 on June 22nd of this year. So, I have decided to write this meme post to anyone who either knows me personally and may want to get me a gift. But, if you are a reasonably generous person and would like to get me something too, I am not going to complain about it. In fact, I’d actually be very happy that you did. But I digress.

I have compiled a list of stuff I want on Amazon.com. And yes, most of it is either development books, electronics or anime/manga. Well, let me explain myself. I left for Canada with a large amount of books, some DVDs and other things that I had purchased prior to leaving for Canada. When I came back to the States, I had come back with less then what I came in with. So, you can obviously see that I want to try to recoup some of what I lost back in the states.

There are a lot of things I’d like for my own personal usage. The first thing is an Apple Mighty Mouse, which I have been wanting for my laptop. And I want to have the wired version of the Mighty Mouse, not the bluetooth version. This is simply because of the fact that I don’t want to change the batteries in the damn thing every week or so. This would constitute a need for more batteries and with the way I use the mouse, that’s about how many batteries it would take. If the Mighty Mouse came with a docking station, I could see another reason why I would want it - but alas, no. It does not have a docking station so I cannot get the Bluetooth version of the Mighty Mouse.

Some things I’d really like a replacement copy of? Humm, well I would have to say that I would like a replacement copy of CSS Zen Garden by David Shea. Yes, that book really meant a lot to me and I’d really love to have a copy of it again. In anime and manga, I’d have to say a replacement copy of the Onegai Teacher anime boxset and manga books (I had volumes 1 and 2) would be something I’d really want. As for television show series, I would have to say that I want to have a boxset of Beavis and Butthead. However, this could easily be changed to Daria if the people at MTV would release a version of Daria for DVD. Of course, the movie I want is either Daria: Is It Fall Yet? or Daria: Is It College Yet?. But anyways, anything in my wishlist would be awesome to receive.

Natalie is purely a victim of the disease known as Christianity. She still believes in the God of the Bible, Satan, Jesus Christ and the other pieces of shit in the Bible. This is a completely horrible thing to have to write because the Bible is completely and utterly repulsive. And I cannot believe in such an evil and disgraceful book. I cannot ethically teach my children that you need to follow the evil word of god in order to have eternal salvation/avoid going to hell. I cannot allow my loving Natalie to believe in such a thing and then go crazy and do something terrible to her children like the mother in the movie Carrie. I just cannot tolerate this because I am afraid that Natalie would remain one of those horrible Jesus freaks if I do not rectify the situation immediately.

I believe that once I break Natalie out of Christianity, she will be able to start enjoying life more and more with each passing day. I believe that we will be able to be a truly loving family and enjoy our lives together. I believe that we will be able to help teach our children about the evils of the Bible and of religion in general. I believe that morals and ethics are not derived from religion and thus, our children can be good people without belief in the God of the Bible. Natalie will be so much happier out of Christianity and I will be so proud of her once she realizes what a complete farce the Christian Bible is.

When we got together, the first thing she did was get on the computer, as usual. Sometimes, I feel so ignored just because she likes to “check” her myspace, her e-mail and everything else AFTER I get there instead of before. Sometimes, this is preventable because she is (mostly) in the truck with me to pick me up from my house. So, she could have checked her myspace beforehand so we don’t have to go through that again and again and again. Yes, I know I don’t like it and I’ve made that very clear to her, but it’s very frustrating at times. At times, I just feel like I am being totally ignored by her.

Tori came here and she was a very fun person to talk with. Tori is a bit bigger than me & Natalie put together. In fact, I think you could fit a couple of Morgans in there too. But, she is Natalie’s best friend from secondary so the only cracks I made about her weight were “a linebacker would want your figure” and “well, I feel very comfortable about you protecting her from being hit on. No player would oppose someone who is big enough to be a player on Hockey Night in Canada”. And Tori was a fun person to be around - because she has a nice, playful attitude. Plus, she had a boyfriend that knocked her up and would not step up and take responsibility. I HATE people like that. It is my firm belief that if you do something, you should step up and do the right thing.

In fact, Natalie and Tori have a lot in common. They both have a bad taste in men and this is proven solely on the basis that they BOTH dated Bobby Moore. Now, I must ask you - how is that for insane? Bobby is one of the most ugly motherfuckers in the world and he is an asshole to boot. He torments the intellectuals in the school and is a general pain in the ass to everyone else. They were both talking about this while we were together. In fact, it got Natalie crying over all her previous boyfriends.

Natalie went up to the top bunk of the bunk bed above her computer to continue crying. I went up there to try to cheer her up and we got into a pillow fight with Tori. Then it turned into a pillow fight against me. I think I dodged pretty well because all the pills were centred around me once they’ve thrown them all. We had so much fun together and we all had so much fun together. So, essentially, I am going to miss my cute little Natty Cat but I really do hope she enjoys herself while she is in Willis.

After this, it was time to help Natalie pack. And when I said it was time to help her, I meant that only Tori could help her. This is due to the fact that I cannot enter her bedroom according to the rules of the house for boyfriends. But I’m just happy that the first year rule that boyfriends cannot be upstairs was waived for me. I’m happy that I am able to do some pretty amazing things with Natalie and possibly walk down the road of life with her. And yes, I do believe that we will be pretty happy together. Just as long as she doesn’t make me sleep on the couch (and yes, I am hoping that you are reading this, Natalie).

I like this because I have always been a big supporter of the OpenOffice.org platform. I just believe that Microsoft has too much control in the Office application stream and the OpenOffice platform will help to give people a choice and will give Microsoft a run for their money. But, to install the OpenOffice.org version that requires an installation of X11. To install X11, you would need your Mac OS start up disks - so people who lost their Mac OS Start up disks or people who have purchased a refurbished Mac from PowerMax will have a problem. So, this new OpenOffice.org will be easier to market to the average Apple user.

Based on K2/Redoable - Yes, I am basing this on K2 (the great WordPress theme by Binary Bonsai) and Redoable (the great K2-derivation by Dean J. Robinson). So, I am already standing on the shoulders of very creative professionals and I believe that the people who have created K2 and Dean from Redoable have done a great job in creating a beautiful style for WordPress that plays so nicely with other plugins. So, basically, I want to build on these two themes and create something better. And yes, I do intend to release it to the public as “Blackthorne” a couple months after creating it (gotta test it out myself and be unique, you know?).

Better usage of space - I hate useless whitespace! I hate it, I hate it, I hate it! This is why I am going to try to find a way to use my space on this blog better so you can see more information that I put on the web. In fact, I am working to link in my Facebook mini-fee, my Twitter feed, What I’ve recently bookmarked on del.icio.us and other information. In fact, I am working on this technology and to build a version of it for kylekorleski.com (will discuss later). But I believe that if I use space better, you will be able to get more information from this site. In fact, I am adding my tag cloud, my archives and other data.

Dark Design - Like my original plans, I am planning to make my site’s design dark. I love it and I believe that it would be awesome to create a dark design for my own blog. Dorkly Cute, Grace for Living and theanime.net are all getting lighter to medium toned designs but I want this site’s design to be very, very dark and beautiful. I love dark design in websites, I love dark clothing and I love darker coloured computers. In fact, I remember talking to my girlfriend about having black roses at our wedding, just because I thought that they would look awesome.

First, I would like like to thank the community of readers in this blog. Everyone who comments and everyone who tries to encourage what I do really does help. I’d like to think that the people who read this blog on a timely basis do so because they know that what is written here will help others and is written with the best of intentions. They read the posts thoroughly and try to see the hidden meanings between the lines. This includes a certain faction of the opposition too and they do what they can to read far into what I have written on numerous subjects. So, I would like to thank both the supporters and the opposition. Because even if they don’t agree with what I write, the important thing is it gets them thinking and once they have begun thinking, they may very well cease to oppose my writing.

Second, I would like to thank my lovely little Natty Cat. We are back together and I couldn’t be happier. I hope to stay with her as long as possible and one day, get married to her. The reason why I would like to get married to her is because I love her with all that I have. I cannot express in words how happy I am with her, and I cannot be happier. She is so willing to move with me to Portland when I move next month. And this is awesome, because I couldn’t live without her.

So, please forgive me for not posting in the last few days. I’m still thinking of a few more posts and I’m working on posting my experiences with Alberta Bible College and the 11 points why Alberta Bible College is a horrid scam. I want to expand on this because it can help people.

1. In the business of conning people - Alberta Bible College is in the business of conning people. They charge $4000+ per year for a worthless degree (see my last point about the “degrees” that Alberta Bible College provides) and other fees are tacked on as well. These fees are generally Student Body fees, chore fees and other such fees which cannot be justified by the staff. Alberta Bible College is dedicated to trying to charge you out the ass. Plus, they charge you for new books and refuse to allow you to purchase your own books. This means that Alberta Bible College is forcing you to allow them to profit to get your text books. Alberta Bible College is basically all about dollars and cents.
2. Required labour - Students are required to complete a weekly chore at Alberta Bible College. This can range from pulling weeds to vacuuming the classrooms. They are not shy about taking your money, but they are more than willing to make you their labour staff. So, Alberta Bible College enforces a threat of having to pay $35 per missed hour of chore work. These can really add up and Alberta Bible College often fudges the books and “loses” the chore claims by students. Therefore, students are often forced to pay more than they actually owe the college. This creates a lot of problems for the students as it takes time out of their “studies” or their social life. They are essentially trapped into working for the college, for free.
3. Treatment of International Students - Despite their willingness to rob people out of money, they only hire 3 of their International Students. These “jobs” that the International Students get are often under-paid and hovering around the minimum wage that a student makes. The faculty try to find any and all opportunities to exploit International Students, including threats of having them deported. The International Students are heavily watched and some, who are from third world countries, may receive worse treatment. And they are often told that if they speak against the college, they will risk deportation. They often work International Students long hours, without breaks or rest. Some students are unable to go home until 11pm at night. And even then, they still have homework to do. After that, they have to go to class at 6 or 7 in the morning.
4. Churches work with them to get free labour - Often, there are churches in the Calgary area that work with Alberta Bible College. Often, in exchange for promoting Alberta Bible College, they provide free, required labour to the church. This is labelled as Practical Ministry Labs or PMLs. These instances of free labour are required in order to get the “degrees” specified as the last point. They are not able to skirt the rules on this and the school has it’s own, dedicated, Practical Ministries Lab director. This person makes sure that churches are promoting Alberta Bible College and then, issues and authorizes Practical Ministries Labs. The church then rates the quality of the labour provided to it and then submits that rating to the PML director.
5. Unable to get government benefits - Students of Alberta Bible College are unable to get certain government benefits that are offered to students that go to a real college. Like, there is no ombudsman to complain to once you have found that Alberta Bible College has wronged you. You cannot get an off-campus work permit from Citizenship and Immigration Canada like you would if you went a real university or college. Furthermore, you cannot get a discounted bus pass from Calgary Transit if you go to Alberta Bible College.
6. Random Psychiatric Evaluations - Many times, Alberta Bible College will send students to a psychiatrist at random. You do not have any choice to decline and you are pressured to go. This is even more so if you are an International student. You do not get to choose which doctor you go to, either. The reason for this, is because this psychiatrist works with Alberta Bible College to provide confidential information to them. Since the session was paid for by them, they try to pressure you that they will charge you for the session if you complain to the government. Often times, the psychiatrist will tell you that you have to come back again and again. This is because they want to get any data they can use against you.
7. Restriction of the freedom of speech - You are told that exercising your rights to freedom of speech are wrong. Essentially, the staff at Alberta Bible College try to control you and make you into a tool they can use. If you run a blog and you discuss unsavory things that Alberta Bible College has done, you can expect to be found out by the staff at Alberta Bible College. You are told that it is wrong to discuss Alberta Bible College in that light and people from the college threaten you. Often, it is with removal from the school or with psychiatric evaluations. Most times, you are forbidden to enter the campus and they start calling your references for more data on you.
8. Your roommates - Often, Alberta Bible College staff will call your roommates into their office and threaten them with psychiatric evaluations or restrictions of freedoms. They will try to get them to make you paranoid by doing things that would drive you up the wall. Like, your roommate will often filthy up the area you are living in so you cannot stand living there. In fact, I remember that Dusten started going out with Miranda and he started to try to stink up the basement suite. In fact, he made it so I was evicted from my basement suite and I was robbed of half my security deposit. That brings me to my next point.
9. Landlords - Often, Alberta Bible College will try to have you living with other ABC students and with people working at ABC. My basement suite was in the basement of Rick and Lynn Rehn, a couple who are on the Alberta Bible College Board of Trustees. They are also alumni of Alberta Bible College and they do profit from Alberta Bible College and it’s victims. Sometimes, ABC tries to coordinate things so that you can be sent to a psychiatric evaluation, so they can test your limits and what you will do in order to protect your status in college. If they cannot see a gain out of you, they will encourage the landlord that you are a criminal and you should be evicted. You are made a pariah in your landlord’s and your roommate’s eyes. This is often why my blog is attacked by my ex-roommate.
10. Removal from Alberta Bible College - When the staff at Alberta Bible College believe that you are unable or unwilling to relinquish more money to them, or they believe that you are costing them money - they will consider removing you from their programmes. Before this happens, you are often called into the office of the director and told that you are in danger of being removed. Sometimes, they may demand to restrict your freedom of speech or other freedoms in order to control you. At others, they will request that you go to a series of psychiatric evaluations. They evaluate the data based on these actions and if you are not able to make more money for them, you are removed from Alberta Bible College. The staff will often try to justify themselves and make up stories, but often enough - you will be blamed for your removal. You did not make them money, so they do not want you at ABC.
11. They provide “Religious” degrees - The degrees they provide are designed to bring more of the God delusion into your mind and influence you into believing the lies about Jesus. They also teach you how to get other people to believe in Jesus Christ. At the end of your education, you would get a Bachelor’s Degree in Religious Education. These degrees are worth less then the paper they are printed on. Once you see what a scam Christianity is, Alberta Bible College has already made their money. You cannot use your BRE for anything other than christian purposes. So, your BRE’s worthlessness is defined for you then and there. Most other types of degrees can get you respect and recognition with employers. But a Bachelors of Religious Education can’t be used for any legitimate purpose, really.

1. I’ve always disliked Texas - People who have known me will tell you (if they remember) that I was hellbent to get out of Texas. And honestly, who wouldn’t be? I’ve always disliked Texas and the humid heat is just one of the many reasons why I hate it. I want to move to a more northernly area.
2. I have rarely had a white Christmas - It rarely snowed in Texas. And when it did, it usually wasn’t much. In fact, I remember it snowing at Jack in the Box once but that was it. I will now be able to have a white Christmas every year and while there are pains that come with a white Christmas, you cannot deny the joy it brings just to play in the snow. I loved a lot of it when I was in Calgary and now, I am going to be moving into another Northernly area where it is likely to snow. And because I will be living in an apartment and I don’t have personal effects that would need to be shoveled out, I won’t have to shovel snow outside. Nice.
3. Public Transit is much better - In Portland, the public transit service (dubbed Tri Met) is actually better than the Metro system that Houston has or Calgary Transit. It may take a bit of getting used to (based on what I saw when I got off the Amtrak) but Calgary Transit took a lot of getting used to as well. And once I got used to it, I was able to use it more and more effectively. Plus, it runs to Beaverton and Gresham as well. This is really a good thing because it would allow me to get in touch with a lot more people and do a lot more work for other businesses. Also, Portland has it’s own airport, Amtrak station and Greyhound station. This give it a much stronger transportation infrastructure.
4. Cold calling would be much more effective - I love to cold call local businesses. People in local businesses tend to pay a bit more because they want to fuel the local economy and help keep local businesses alive. Plus, I love getting to meet my clients and they usually find me to be a very likable and personable guy. In fact, every time I met with Nicholi at the Tim Hortons in Crowfoot was fun.
5. Lots of cool people - The people who run Panic, Janrain, Swift Communications and a lot of other cool little businesses all have shop in Portland. There is also this really cool Internet cafe that I found when I was in Portland and even the personnel at the Bank of America branch in Portland were nicer. In fact, there were these people who were hanging out and smoking around the Greyhound station and I found that they were some of the most helpful people in Portland. Really nice place.
6. Ability to find a good data centre - If you are looking to set up your own dedicated server, you HAVE to live near it if you are thinking of going colocation. When I get my Xserve, I plan to have it colocated in Portland. This way, if something is fucked up, I don’t have to worry about it much. I can do everything I can to resolve the problem as quickly as humanly possible. This means I will only suffer a minimal amount of downtime while I cure whatever is ailing the server.
7. A stronger energy - There was just this energy about Portland that made me feel like I could do so much there and yet, I would not have done enough. I loved this energy and took a while to explore the city and tried to get things done. And I did manage to do a lot in Portland, with luggage in tow. Imagine how much better it would be if I didn’t have 4 pieces of luggage that I had to carry around.
8. Nicer people - Generally, people were a lot nicer in Portland than I would have expected. One thing I loved about Portland was how nice the people were. I talked with a number of people and I asked each one the same stupid question of getting around the city. They were nice enough to stop and help me. Now, that is just plain awesome. I can’t wait to live there and who knows? Maybe I might just like living there and forget all about my immigration to Canada? Not likely, but it does seem like a nice enough place.
9. Not everything is a chain - One thing I’ve noticed about Portland’s downtown area, it doesn’t have a lot of chain restaurants. Maybe the city is like that too. Of course, that’s probably not the case, but hey - one can dream. Plus, chain restaurants are not all bad. I really LOVE Taco Bell and I was very happy when I found one in Calgary. Of course, it only stayed open until 3pm and it was in the Transcanada Tower
10. Oregon seems more environmentally friendly - I heard that in Oregon, there are environmental laws that make it so there cannot be self-service pumps. I can see the logic behind this and I fully respect it. I mean, it is awesome when there is a governmental level that actually gives a shit about the environment. Now all we have to do is start getting the Oregon government to start using Hemp-based paper and it would be all kinds of awesome. ^_^
11. Oregon isn’t homophobic - Okay, this doesn’t affect me directly, but it just feels wrong when the Government tries to tell you who you can or can’t love. Or how about when they tell you who you can or can’t marry? There are still sodomy laws around but fortunately, they are dying down. And I believe this is a step in the right direction, because there are so many gay couples that are perfect for each other. And to deny them the right to marriage is just wrong.

I have a right to use my name when I write content. I have a right to use my name on this blog or anywhere I wish. I should not be put down for using my own name because my name is just that. Do I share a last name with others? Yes. I believe in the same way that I share my first and middle name with others. But what I believe is that people should retain the basic right to use their name in any manner of their choosing, regardless of anyone else’s objections.

Regardless, Kyle Korleski is my name. I did not choose that name, it is the one that I have been given by my parents. And yet, this person blames me for using my real name when I post on my blog. In fact, if I can recall, my mother told me once that my father gave me my name. I was named for one of my father’s friends. My blog contains content that is relevant about me. It is put up so people who want to know more about me can find out more about me. And I am very proud of what I write. I stand by it because it is the truth.
