I've often been asked why I'm so accepting when it comes to people, lately this has been the case with people on twitter. Without fail each day somebody messages me regarding on of my followers.
Do you know you have gay decorators following you?
Why are you friends with a porn star?
OMG do you know your following a tranny?
The list goes on and on and if I don't get a do you know question, I get a why are you question.

The thing is I usually have some retort to these questions but instead I'm just going to give you the cold hard facts. I was an ostracized, bullied social reject through the large majority of grade school. I didn't get invited to parties or out to movies. I was a reject because I was a little weirder than the rest of the bunch and I spent most of my lunches eating by myself. I had my bike thrown into a valley during 10th grade and my brake line and tires cut in 11th.  I remember being in 11th grade on the acrosport team and training back layouts off heights. I was in the spotting belt, the coach was afraid I'd over rotate because of my fast rotation.  The coach had broken off to use the bathroom and I was sat 5ft up on a stap of tri-fold mats two of the guys on the team grabbed the ropes and yanked me backwards off the mats so I'd landed on my back and had the carabiners jamming into my back and breaking the skin.  Knocked the wind right out of me. Before I could regain my breath two other guys pushed the stack of tri-fold mats down on top of me. While the rest of the team watched and laughed.

Needless to say I know what it's like to be disregarded and bullied based on the preconceptions of people who honestly don't know a flipping thing about you.  They just stop at your very first ism that doesn't fit for them. That hurt growing up. Why would I put somebody through something I hated by being bigoted or stupid over somebody else's isms. Thats why I'm so accepting because I've looked into your heart and thats what matters

A week of heaven and hell

This week has been nothing short of a roller coster. I'm a bad news, good news kind of guy. The hell part of my week has been my sister, the visiting one. It's safe to say she's been a huge factor in my month's bullshit meter on top of some other things like loosing my personal space and hours of sleep. I'm used to being dumped on for any number of things through out the week but this has been ridiculous. Sure being pregnant allows for some grievances, I get it,  you've got kankles and look like a beached whale. However it's no excuse for being a complete dick and it's pissing me off because she is only that way with me. She wouldn't dare be that kinda bitch to our oldest sister, older cousin Sam nor Our Parents.
I've been yelled at for drinking out the juice, for the garbage can being full hello there are eight people in the house right now, do the math! Obviously a carton of juice isn't going to last a week seeing as it holds 6.5 standard cups of juice give or take. The garbage is going to be filled faster more people equals more crap to dispose off.  I've been getting yelled at for eating all the cookies, chips, candy and soda pop in the house. Which is funny because the only soda pop I've had this week in it's entirety has been Root Beer compliments of Justin ( Thank You Justin). Speaking of Justin on thursday while I was at the mall. I'd ended up at the mall with my sister on thursday to lift a few heavy boxes and stuff. My sister is visiting from the Caribbean and her phones locked. After Justin called the first time and I called him back my sister needed the phone to call her man and used mine. She had to have been on the phone for a good twenty or so minuets possibly more. In that whole time knowing full well I was going to be meeting up with some scottish V.I.Ps she neglected to inform me of incoming calls. I found out about this yesterday while checking my voice mail. I had to have had like 5 messages from Justin. Which frankly I'm ticked about because I pride myself on my punctuality.  She's cussed me, cursed me and everything under the sun and possibly the moon and it's intensified with my parents being on vacation.  That has been my own little taste of hell...now now the heaven bit.

So It's been I dunno how long but I finally got to catch up to and hang out in the "Shwaw" with Colin and Justin. We had McD's for lunch; My hockey induced diet went out the window after being encouraged into chicken nuggets.

Colin might just be one of the select few people in this world that could match my usual leve of ADHD pound for pound.

Colin also got a pinch at my cheeks a very rare experience, you've got better chances at the lotto

Can't forget Justin, I always pegged Justin as the one who'd be verbally louder. Turns out he's the quiet guy in the couple at least on this particular day. Which was nice because I was already stone tired.

So to have that nice fusion current of a calmer Justin and Goofy Colin had me in a nice blissful happy state.

I also got to talk to Cheryl on the iPhone which I'm sure has left over nugget grease on it from my chicken eater fingers. She was like the icing on the cake.

I actually really like the pictures and how they turned out. Colin with the fries and his adorable big smile and then Justin who's once more glaring but seemingly after a snuggle.

I also got to check out their sexy car! Once we parted ways I actually ended up buying a check shirt and then running into my buddies Brad Sexton and Colin Fish talked for a bit. To cap the mall trip off, I went to Campus Crew one of my mall haunts to hang out with Chuck for a bit. Chuck and I go way back about eight years. He's my mall gay, if I need an honest opinion on pants he's the source.

The Check shirt

On friday I went to the Zoo. I haven't been since I was wee kid of about 7 and to short to see over barriers without climbing or being lifted. I actually had a lot of fun seeing all the animals.

Going to the zoo is definitely a bit more fun when you actually know how to use a camera. I saw some monkey porn and I could have really lived with out that bit.

I had peacock eat ice cream with me. They are such cool looking birds and seem to be very social or at least very use to us human things sharing their space.

I think my favourite Animals were the snufflesnouts( Elephants) and the Hippos, I really really like Hippos for some reason.

That basically sums up my week, the good, they bad and the ugly. 

I've decided I need some short term goals

I've come to realize, I need to have some short term goals. I'm a goal setter but the majority have been long term goals. So at the moment my current goal is to replace my desk lamp. ohhh there is an interior decorator term for a desk lamp...it's task lighting or something.

Right now my desk lamp is Radio Flyer Wagon Red, the Light bulb dangles as it's become loose and it another one of those hand me down items I got from the older siblings, parents ECT. I have a huge problem with Wire Spaghetti in my room from my various electric toys. So the desk lamp I'm getting is

It's from Walmart part of the Your Zone line of stuff thats aimed at teens but I'd imagine is pretty popular with the college crowd because face it, college kids are broke and want affordable, functional stuff.

This just seems like it work perfectly for me since Orange in my favourite colour next to red or plaid. It's got an outlet so i can charge up my cell or iPod while doing work. It has organizer features for pens which would eliminate my collection of plastic cups.

I'm slowly going to be doing an overhaul on the bigger bedroom when I get it back. I'll probably keep the three light blue walls and get rid of that burgundy red focal wall with a Darker blue or something I don't know...I have resources to point me in the right direction with that.

I figure I'll replace that lamp at the start of the school year when I'll actually need it again. I figure if I do things bit by bit instead of all at once things'll be easier.
