Jeep

Posted on by

So I’m probably going to buy this Jeep I’ve been eyeing. It’s a red 1988 Cherokee Limited: 4.0L I6 EFI engine (runs very well) AW4 Tranny (very reliable — works great) Power everything (seats, windows, locks etc) A/C Decent stereo Perfect Black Leather Interior Bronze-styling wheels (bling bling) Back window washer works! 160k trouble free miles I test drove it today, runs great. He put a new water pump in it 3 weeks ago and new o-rings 7 months ago. Has a checkup and maintenance record dating back to 1995. Has an immaculate interior and does 75 with no problem. Guy is asking $3000, said I’d do $2800, told him to hold onto it for me till monday — I’ll check the finances and run it by a couple insurance companies and see what they say. I’m stoked, because it’s very nice. Opinions?

my friend rolled his jeep a few weeks ago and got a shattered foot. this kid on legislative council with me was riding in a jeep over thanksgiving, it rolled, and he’s dead. how is gas mileage? i bet it can’t be worse that the truck, or can it?
2003-04-12 20:02:00 – Netheus
ummm….. good points, both. but I’d have to put the deciding factor on gas mileage. Although we don’t really have to worry about it that much living downtown, it will kill your pocket book if you do decide to take a long range trip. But I would rather have one of those hybrids that gets like 70 miles to the gallon.
2003-04-13 01:27:15 – homesick girl
speaking of long range trips, you should drive your jeep out here and see me. better yet, drive it out here and pick me up and take me to a better place. whisk me off into the sunset. please? ask me how bad i wish i weren’t in iowa right now

It´s simply stupid to buy a 15 year old car, it belongs in the garbage! Buy a brand new Grand Cherokee Limited Ed. 03" model, then we are talking….

I present an atrocity friends: [L=http://www.google.com/search?q=rand0m]http://www.google.com/search?q=rand0m[/L] Randal – youre going to have to attract some traffic to fix this. And on something actually related to the post – yeah a Jeep has shitty gas mileage, and its prone to rollovers (dont make quick turns when driving fast with high wind speeds – even when youre trying to scare friends), but its still a decent vehicle. The problem with the hybrid cars is that a) you cant find used ones – at least i dont think so and b) they really dont help with that "masculine image". Sure, Randal could probably get a pink Beetle with flowers on it thats cheap – but I dont know if he’d want to drive around in it.

So I’m back from NCRE 8. http://www.dragoncontinuum.com/NC/NCRE/index.html I had alot of fun, and got all the partying out of my system for a while, so now I can concentrate on school 🙂
2003-04-14 10:41:53 – Netheus
So are you going to get the jeep? If you do, I wanna come by and see it!

So I’m moving this weekend, and I think I’m going to have a house warming party. The inventory of liquor I have left over from parties in my hotel rooms(I have a reputation at cons to keep after all) this weekend: 1/3 Handle of Southern Comfort, 3/4 Handle Jose Ceurvo, 1/2 Bottle of Aftershock, 3/4 Handle of some generic Bourbon, 2/3 Handle of Cpt. Morgan, 1/2 bottle of Apple Pucker, unopened bottle of Peppermint Shnapps (sp?), and an almost full bottle of Amaretto. I love it when people leave liquor in my room 🙂
2003-04-14 18:49:45 – rand0m
Moving? Where? and Why?
2003-04-14 18:59:01 – The Disco Nova
Yes, Parkside Apartments (on Pikes Peak past Circle), cheaper, nicer and two bathrooms 🙂
2003-04-14 19:39:59 – Netheus
Right on. When’s the shindig?
2003-04-14 20:40:08 – Master Ha-reed
Heh – I lived there for a while when the family was looking for a new house. One word of advice – the street that runs behind it (that intersects Pikes Peak near the Colorado Opry – or whatever the hell they’re calling it now) tends to attract drive-by shootings and gang warfare.

It’s a gated community. I have renter’s insurance 🙂

[im the asshole who hasn’t read this site in a week, so this comments a little late, but…] Randal, I am offended that you would even consider my site more interesting than yours. This is the way I would judge which site is more interesting between the two of ours: 1) Hits. If people like a site/think its interesting, they are likely to come back. I am not sure how many hits you get in a day, but I assume its somewhere around or above the 50 area. I get a craptacular 14. 2) Comments. I have never heard you beg and plea to your readers to comment on your site, whereas on my site, I have done this on no less than 15 occasions. You get at least 15 comments a post, and I have to yell at my friends to get three. The only person who ever comments on my site is my roommate and its because hes tired of hearing me bitch about the lack of comments I get while were watching TV. In conclusion, while your site may not seem interesting to you, I assure you that many people do find it interesting, otherwise, no one would come back and this wouldn’t be the 16th post on here. -mark

2003-04-15 17:45:55 – Master Ha-reed
I wouldnt necessarily use hits as a factor of the site being interesting. I get probably 100 hits per day, and my site is less interesting than Randals – and the comments are far stupider. About those comments – the number of comments arent really an indicator either. You can have 100 stupid fucking moron comments or 10 really good ones.

Alright, so here’s the car I"m looking at: 1995 Automatic Nissan Pathfinder SE 95K Power Everything, Perfect Leather Interior 1500$
2003-04-16 13:13:37 – Netheus

2003-04-17 09:44:08 – Netheus
Nissan is a good company! Remember, when buying cars- DON’T BUY AMERICAN! They fall apart and aren’t reliable.

Well I think you would really like a Jeep, however this one scares me a little. If this guy really did just replace the water pump and the O-rings, that screams over heating issues to me. Something most Jeeps between 85-93 have problems with. What you want to do is take the Jeep out on a hot afternoon and run it around downtown, i.e. lots of stoplights and up hills under load. Watch and see how fast the temp climbs, and where is stops at (if it stops) If the temp is over 250 you could be in trouble. You also might want to ask when was the last time the radiator was flushed, how often does he put water in, stuff like that. You should also check the oil if the engine has been running hot the oil will be a brown color; that is if he hasn’t changed it. Oh well I hope it works out for you, I love my Jeep. Oh and my Bronco, can’t forget the Bronco 😉

Bye Paulie :-(

Posted on by

Yesterday morning Matt and I woke up … well, I woke up and then hassled him until he got up … and went over to Paulie’s place to load up his stuff so he could get to Ft. Carson so he could get deployed to Iraq. First off, I’d like to say that his ruck sack weighed entirely too much 😉 Went out and got some breakfast first, chit chatted and tried to keep things light. Got to Ft. Carson, dropped off his gear and then went to the Arms Building (where everyone gets their weapons) … Paulie got his M16 … we took some pictures, hugged and shook his hand and left. I didn’t have much emotion right then, saying goodbye to a good friend for 6-12 months, but while I’m writing this, I’m holding back the tears. I’m not sad at all that Paulie in particular has to go — that’s his job, and both all of us are proud of him for doing it — it’s the fact that such a situation (war) exists at all. Granted, I believe that in this case it is justified (as does Paulie), but you know, it just sucks to see someone have to go. When he gets back, though, we’re going to Vegas, so I guess it all balances out. We love you Paulie! Went out with Alicia, Amanda, Becky and Matt the other night. I took everyone out to Old Chicago and then went over to Play By Play to get in some pool. Well, Keen and I smoked the girls 3-0. Why? Because we fucked with their heads all night by distracting them mercilessly? No! It was because of our badass pool-playing skills. Although the distracting part was fun, what with rubbing them up and down with pool cues, blowing in their ears, etc., we’re really just better at pool than they are. Suckahs. Heh. Speaking of that, Becky called last night at 1:30am … you know what? 1:30am is late. Like *Late*. I was dozing nicely and she called me up to talk about her day. I sure sign, IMO 😀

2003-04-10 16:36:46 – Master Ha-reed
You know Randal, calling 1:30 am "late" does not help you out in the trying-to-look/act-younger-than-35 department.
2003-04-10 16:51:38 – rand0m
Well, after doing 4-5 hours of sleep a night for a week+, last night was my "sleep" night. I was asleep at like 6:15pm, woke up at 10:30p, went back to sleep at 12:30a and woke up to talk to Becky at 1:30 … when trying to recover, 1:30 is late 😉
2003-04-11 00:19:07 – Netheus
In 19 hours, I will be at the theater to watch House of 1000 Corpses, a film scheduled for release over 2 years ago, with some other choice individuals. Whilst at the theater, I plan on seeing all the sheep going to the new Adam Sandler/ Jack Nicholson flick, and in opposition, all the freaks- old horro/B movie lovers to out and out Satanists, to the random fucked up individual. But i drank one of Mike’s liquid crack coffees, so I prolly won’t sleep between now and then. Ya know Randal- I know how you feel. It would suck serious ass to have to send your close friend over seas to a military installment in hostile territory, knowing you won’t see them for a year. i.e., remember when Carolyn left for Japan? ergh…
2003-04-11 08:53:29 – realbighead
I think jared’s got a point… being a 20-year-old guy gives you certain privileges, like staying up till 4AM for 2 weeks straight while still functioning (at least, I think I’m still functioning. Let me get back to you on that.) I would also like to state, off the record, that pretty girls rock the "hizzay", as you ghetto homeboys would refer to it. mad shout-outs to paulie while we’re at it. much love, brutha! w00t w00t! yeah… I think that functioning is just a hallucination at this point. I’m going to go to class now.

I sure wish I was interesting

Posted on by

I got to thinking about it, and I realized that I am not very interesting. Like, I was reading [L=http://pinklaura.blogspot.com]Laura’s Page[/L] and [L=http://www.michaelhusson.com/mark]Mark’s Page[/L] and I all I could must was “wow, I really am not interesting.” So there you have it folks — I think I’ve stumbled upon why I’m not the most attractive guy, why I’m only good for buffoonary (sp?) and an occasional laugh: I am not interesting. Okay, so Friday was a good day. I was here at work, doing some stuff for Sandy, one of our customers on the floor, and she asks me to haul her computer down to her car. No problem. Then she hands me the keys and says “why don’t you take it for lunch?” Ahh, the unforgettable lunch began. Why? Because this particular car is a [L=http://www.new-cars.com/2002/bmw/bmw-540i-sedan.html]2002 BMW 540i[/L]. Yep, 4.4 Liters of [L=http://www.rand0m.org/images/bimmer/]hot BMW luvin (not work safe)[/L]. Goddamn that car was fast. And powerful. And amazingly fun to drive. Picked up Keen and went up to the Chapel Hills Chipotle to give a spin. It was the lap of luxury. And as Matt said “Luxury sure has a nice lap.” Also, I retrofied the website. Most things are broken, except for comments and news. I know everything else is worthless anyway 😉

Right….. sick of having a family. Not just because of the hassle, the problems they cause, the genetics, or the environmental hang-ups. No, this time because they all find the time to die- like, for instance today, my step-uncle of scirosis of the liver. Does he tell any of his 6 brothers and sisters, 90+ year old mother, daughter, or new wife of about a month that he could die any day? No! Does he tell them that he is going to be fine? Yes! So is everyone deeply schocked and angered when he buys the farm at 1:30 this afternoon? Yes!
2003-04-08 10:27:08 – Siaokh
Benefit of the doubt… maybe he wasnt aware of his condition. Even though it takes years and years of heavy drinking to get to that point? *shrug* who knows Sounds like fun randal… One of my friends out here has a WRX that i’m going to ste… i mean borrow. Not sure if he knows about it yet 🙂 Balls to all 4 wheels w00. -Tim
2003-04-08 17:07:48 – WC
Hey randal. Thanks for hanging out earlier today. I think you are the most interesting g33k i know. 😉 Anyway I think you need to stop worrying about not being interesting. If you do that you’d stop concisouly thinking about being a bore to a girl. Nobody likes a person that thinks they are boring. I think you should just be yourself. Maybe you should go out to some clubs a littile more or make a drive to Denver when you turn 21 a few times a month. Anyway I’d thought I’d honor the great rand0m.org a post from UUNet datacenter. We had to stop in a check in on this box we have running down here. See ya later! BTW… If you can’t score the woman at least you have the knack for getting into other peoples 540i Beemers. 😉 Ciao ~Craig
2003-04-08 17:29:29 – pinky
i’d just like to state that that is the first and only time someone called my blog interesting 🙂 and if randal wasn’t interesting to anyone (aka all of us) why would so many folks read his page? i dunno. just a thought, though.

Nope, Laura is not interesting, Mark is not interesting. You are vaguely interesting, but I really miss Burnz’s page. I used to reread his rants like 5 or 6 times.
2003-04-09 10:32:44 – rand0m
Is that because they were almost always drunkenly incoherent?

Don’t worry Laura, I still love you, you’ve got nice boobies. I don’t really know many people in your circle of friends so it’s not interesting 🙂

Just wanted to point out, that is you look at Jared’s site, and decide YOU are infact uninteresting, then something is wrong. It’s one of these three situations. 1)You would have to be the most uninteresting person on earth. 2)You have a warped sense of self and low self-esteem 3)You are saying you are uninteresting in order to seem more interesting Either scenario is very very awesome. In fact, being the most uninteresting person ever, would almost automatically make you interesting. Take comfort in that.
2003-04-14 04:45:57 – The Disco Nova
No no Laura, Your worth to me is contained within your breasts. Your self-worth is between you and yourself.

Date and Work

Posted on by

Went out with Becky, Matt and Julie tonight to Mataam Fez. We had a really great time, and our waiter, Jay (same waiter we had last time) got a HEFTY tip. Especially cuz he sold me a bottle of plum wine, which I drank almost single handedly. 😀 😉 The Lamb Brouchette was better than last time, and I think everybody had a really great time. The Becky-Randal thing did not go to well. Very little positive response for most of the night. She had a stomach ache, which could have understandably detracted, but comeon, nothing? Seriously doubting a date #2. Matt and Julie, however, seemed to really hit it off — Julie’s a really great girl, and the kind of gal that you can take anywhere and have a good time with. Work is just about over. We submitted our two drafts of our proposal to HQ for final review before the real thing, and they took it over! Which means that everybody at the Colorado Springs location is out of a job. So … now that that is dead, Corey and I are hardcore pursuing our [L=http://www.ufogaming.com]cybercafe idea[/L]. That should turn out well. Oh, I had lunch with Sammi yesterday. That was simply incredible. Sammi is perhaps the best girl alive. Period. She is always interested in whatever nonsense I have to spew, and it smart and witty and fun and has a great smile. So nice. Too bad she lives in Grinnell and has constant boy problems 😉 So that’s my update. The WAR OF IRAQI FREEDOM AND OIL AND STUFF continues unabated. Some of the footage on TV is pretty cool to watch, but you know, sometimes you just need to get away from the media saturation that is always in yer face. $.02

2003-03-27 22:14:32 – Dice
That whole thing with the hitting someone as hard as you can is deceptive. Can’t always just shake it off. This one kid asked my brother to do that to him, and he hit him just below the center of the sternum. That guy was on the gorund in the middle of Acaica Park for at least 30 minutes, but I must admit, it was really cool.

General Update

Posted on by

Hell, I don’t even know what I’m writing anymore. So I’m going to ramble. Yea, Becky is this great girl, and man, I really like her. I don’t think she likes me that much, though. We have a date … going to Mataam Fez (Thanks James!) on Tuesday night … supposed to double date with Keen, but … I don’t know if he’ll have a woman. IM him at keener2u or talk to me if you have a suitable hookup who’d like some free moroccan and a good time. It’s spring break! I have no truck! It’s in the shop! Because parts couldn’t get from Denver to here! Because of the snow storm! So I have no car! For spring break! Yea! I think I’m going to buy a Jeep Cherokee! Yea! I’m so self conscious right now. I feel like a loser. An almost middle aged, balding, fat, gap-toothed freak of nature. And boy, does that make me feel like shit! Janelle is in town for break. She called. I think I was sort of gruff. I’m not sure. But boy, do I feel terrible after having talked to her. I’m such a fucking loser. No, you don’t understand; let me explain. I am over her, no problem. She’s 18, has her own thing, I have mine, yada yada. No, it’s not her I miss. It’s the nice, loverly feeling that you get to enjoy when you’re in a comfortable, long term relationship. Boy do I miss that. Talking to her doesn’t really resurrect feelings for her in particular, just for a relationship in general. Sort of abstracted from Janelle specifically to Girl, more general, you know? Tore is coming in to town. And Sammi is already here. I need to see both of them sometime this week. I have no time! I work! And I drink! WTF am I going to do!? Gaah! And boy, Sammi sure is great. She’s so nice. And smart. She just makes me feel all warm inside. It’s crazy how she does it. Anyway, yes, I have to see them sometime. And that is all I have to ramble about, so good night 😀

2003-03-24 02:25:25 – The Disco Nova
A tip: There are belly dancers there sometimes. It is EXPECTED for you to tip them. You should prolly explain this to your date if she gives you a dirty look like some of mine have. Just hold a couple of bucks in your hand, and when she is ready she will come over and hold open her waistband for you to stick the bills in.

Yeah, *almost* middle aged? I can see your point, you are WAY past that…. you should look into collecting your Social Security Retirement before your parents get to it. ;-P

Mid-life crisis at 20? This has got to be a new world record. Dude… everyone gets those feelings concerning past long-term romantic interests… Just have to look past that stuff into the future. Which i’m sure you have done, but you constantly jump back and dwell on it. Just move on to bigger and better things! To be cliche… more fish in the sea. You’ve got the bait. Just let it set out, you’ll get a nibble to two. You’re quite successfull with your work endeavors… just chill man. Concerning your truck… I’m sorry that it’s dead, dont pour more money into it… If you figure you’re gonna drop a grand or so into it, just sell the truck and drop that money + the grand into something else…. Sporty maybe to match your mid-life crisis vibe -Tim

I propose that Randal turn on the webcam again so that we can all get a good look at this "middle aged, balding, fat, gap-toothed freak of nature" 😉
2003-03-25 18:52:15 – tony
I don’t think Randal is as bad off as he might think he is. This is an easy statement based upon some individuals I have known over the last few years. In that respect, I’d say Randal has it going pretty good. I just got back from 4 days of snowboarding in Winter Park with some other boarders from school. We all stayed at this swank ass hostel for 22$ a night. Our grocery bill for all 4 of us for 4 days ended up being 90$. I can’t recommend this idea enough to anybody without spring break plans.

War, party

Posted on by

[L=http://rand0m.org/temp/kvi_aircheck_031003.mp3]One reason for war.(mp3)[/L] Please pardon the terrible headline 😉 … Just news that Saddam has 48 hours to remove himself from power before the USA, with little international support, goes and forcibly removes him … and I poked around, and found a very good audio clip supporting the war. Can you answer his question? We threw a party. It was big. and it was good. and everyone got shit faced and had a wonderful time. Some people who would have made it a super-duper party didn’t show, which was sad, but we did all have a good time. Yeah 🙂

2003-03-18 03:36:34 – pinky
first of all, before i answer the question, i will say that the man speaking was extremely derogatory to the woman, and should go fuck himself. secondly, not getting rid of saddam will not promote peace and justice in iraq. but i pose this question: when was it our job to go regulate "peace and justice?" in other countries? The last time we fought a war without being directly attacked and without aiding a country who was being invaded (neither of which happened here) we lost. it was called vietnam. can we not learn from our mistakes? where are the weapons that iraq hasn’t destroyed? where is the fucking evidence? why did bush tell the people of iraq not to destroy the oil fields before he told them not to use chemical weapons against OUR soldiers who are putting their lives on the line in an unnecessary war? what is more important here? our brothers, sisters, sons, daughters, etc? or some fucking oil? shouldn’t we be more worried about hydrogen cells from being depleted since bush promised that? what the fuck? Instead, we continally starve the Iraqi people when we know that Saddam doesn’t care if his people starve and then pretend that sanctions put any pressure on him. God, fuck this shit. Point being that not getting rid of Saddam won’t promote peace and justice, but getting rid of him through military, bloody, disgusting methods will do nothing but put all of us (and especially those of you in C. Springs) at more risk for terrorist attack. Shit, even Canada doesn’t support us. Let’s burn all of our bridges to clear our president’s daddy’s name. FUCK. /rant
2003-03-18 07:55:10 – randal
You say "not getting rid of saddam will not promote peace and justice in iraq." … So yes, war will mean people dying. If we go to war, there is still the large chance that not as many people will die (some will. a lot will). However, it is certainly less than if we leave Saddam in power, which will 100% guarantee a high number of civilian deaths. You also say that we "pretend that sanctions put any pressure on him". So, leaving Saddam in power will not promote peace and justice, and you have conceded that International diplomacy has not worked. Might I ask what some other alternatives are? I agree that removing Saddam will increase the likelihood of retalitory terrorism in the USA. No doubt about that. Should we maintain our nation’s founding isolationist ideology and let Iraq implode, or should we step in, despite the associated risk?
2003-03-18 11:18:00 – Master Ha-reed
<rant> I just knew that someone would try to compare what we’re doing to Vietnam – and there is one big reason why thats wrong. The reason we didnt win the Vietnam because it was us fighting pretty much the whole damn country. In Iraq, there are a great many people who dont like Saddam but are afraid to say anything. They dont get much media coverage, but some of the biggest supporters of the war are ex-patriate Arabs, especially Iraqis who have fled the country. You ask when it became our job to go regulate "peace and justice". We’ve pretty much appointed ourselves to that position since WWII. And thats what we’re doing with this war. Herein lies a big flaw in the Bush Administration’s argumentation. They say that we’re doing this because Iraq is an imminent threat to American national security – which its not. Saddam is too smart to try and do something like that (I dont much believe in the Iraq-Al Qaeda connection). [B]If[/B] we were actually threatened, then we wouldnt need any damn permission from anyone. But we’re not, so this conflict is basically us being the world’s policeman. However, when youre playing the world’s policeman, its helpful to have the world supporting you. It’s true that getting rid of Saddam might not make things any better, but letting him stay in power is not promoting peace and justice in any way. If we really stay committed to Iraq, I have no doubt that we can help rebuild it into a prosperous nation – this country has done that before (hint, hint – Germany). The bottom line is this: we know Saddam has chemical weapons (hint hint – we gave them to him), we know he’s a brutal dictator, and we also know that he is not laying his arsenal on a lawn for the UN guys like the world community told him he should. The French want to play Daladier again, and give Saddam all the time in the world – more or less invalidating the authority of the UN. There is no way that any peaceful solution is going to get rid of Saddam and disarm Iraq as far as I can see – which is exactly what that guy was asking Laura, and if you listened, you would have heard that the girl wasnt giving a real answer (which is why he was getting mad). She was spouting a bunch of rhetoric that there were "other ways". What other ways? No one from the anti-war side has given a good alternative. The anti-war people also spout off a bunch of stuff about "peace". What about peace for the Iraqi people? Don’t they deserve it as much as we do? The peacenik’s arguments work against them. We’re trying to go over there and make peace (although, I will admit that those nice oil fields are probably a motivating factor too). The only ones who truly have a leg to stand on are the radical isolationist Americans – who keep saying that its none of our damn business. It is probably not the best use of our resources right now, but the upcoming conflict in Iraq is far from being unjustified. </rant>
2003-03-18 12:47:07 – pinky
actually, the rumors that saddam gasses his own people are not true. he gassed the kurds, not iraqi citizens. and, yeah, we’re not planning on helping iraq rebuild…i think the quote was something like "we’ll stay there as long as necessary, but get out as soon as possible." so, in other words, when next years budget comes out (assuming this war is over) there won’t be any aid to iraq just like there wasn’t any to afghanistan this year. anyway, iraq isn’t this huge threat that the media/bush administration sensationalizes it to be. we’re just hurting ourselves here, and we’re doing it without international support which is hideous. i mean, what happens when someone actually attacks us and we have no allies to help us fight back? what if we end up going after n. korea and then, inevitably, china and no one his helping us fight? i think it’s a slippery slope. that’s all. and i know none of y’all will agree with me, but whatever 🙂
2003-03-18 12:56:24 – Master Ha-reed
Gassing or no gassing – we know he kills people indiscriminantly – he’s released video tapes of people being sent away just to scare the bejeezus out of his own fellow Iraqis. We’re going without international support because no other country has the balls to say "Iraq isnt getting disarmed with Saddam Hussein still in power". Even Tony Blair is catching fire in his own country for agreeing with the Bush Administration. Where was that quote from (we’ll stay here as long as necessary)? I would like to know. That should be a question the media is asking the Administration. Iraq isnt the big bad wolf the media/Bush is making it to be, but it doesnt mean we’re wrong in trying to get Saddam out of power.
2003-03-19 17:48:05 – netheus
We train killers everyday here in America- either in the fucking ghetto or the fascist military. We can go over, covert-operations style and take him, and all of his top assholes down. Laura- there is no reason to defend Saddam’s Regime (which isn’t what you are meaning to do, but it’s how you are coming off). I mean, what about the rape rooms and the torture chambers? Regardless of if he gassed his own people or not, his human rights record is a bit like a list of what NOT to do. The answer to the question, I believe I answered in the beg. of this message, but I still stand on the ground that war is always wrong. Any situation can be avoided. The thing is, Saddam Hussein was given very specific instructions on how to avoid not only his mortal demise, but his falling from a posistion of power, then again, we will have to see in about 20 minutes on that. What scares me is that there is a crazy North Korean who is DEMONSTRATING that he has weapons of Mass destruction, butwe are ignoring him. Why? Because North Korea’s biggest export is North Koreans and Korean food- not oil. No matter what you say, oil is playing a major role in all of this. Think about where Mr. the lights are off and the hampster is dead comes from. He wants to possess, in some way, those oil fields. And as to Jared’s comment about restoring countries that we devestate, we also restarted Japan, but the economy was in better shape back then. Which also raises another point- where is the rest of the world when it comes to aiding flailing countries? Yes, we cut our support to Afghanistan. Why don’t Canada, Australia, Switzerland, England, or Spain step in to help out a bit? Fuckers.

I just thought it was ridiculous that someone begin an arguement saying that Saddam didn’t gas his own people, just Kurds. (who are Iraqi! they live in the damn country and are thus his own people!) That’s like saying that Bush gasing Mexican immigrants (which wasn’t too far from the truth in Texas) isn’t as bad as gasing your everyday American Citizen. Makes no sense to a sane person. Disco, were you suggesting I get baned? I have been out of control lately, huh? Those Kurds deserved to die, and I should have kept my mouth shut, huh?

i was wondering how long a serious and interesting debate about important matters in the state of the world could last on this site before it turned back into a petty debate about who has offended whom in this little e-clique. but for those of us who would are still thinking about the war (because it’s still happening), i thought this was good, so i thought i would post it. i’m as confused as the next person about whether this war is necessary, whether this war is inevitable, whether it’s important to support my government regardless of my own beliefs. but, beliefs about saddam aside, i think what this speech says about america’s attitude is worth considering. no matter what is right, no matter what is the truth, this is all really sad. anyway, the speech: US Senator Robert Byrd Speech delivered on the floor of the US Senate March 19, 2003 3:45pm I believe in this beautiful country. I have studied its roots and gloried in the wisdom of its magnificent Constitution. I have marveled at the wisdom of its founders and framers. Generation after generation of Americans has understood the lofty ideals that underlie our great Republic. I have been inspired by the story of their sacrifice and their strength. But, today I weep for my country. I have watched the events of recent months with a heavy, heavy heart. No more is the image of America one of strong, yet benevolent peacekeeper. The image of America has changed. Around the globe, our friends mistrust us, our word is disputed, our intentions are questioned. Instead of reasoning with those with whom we disagree, we demand obedience or threaten recrimination. Instead of isolating Saddam Hussein, we seem to have isolated ourselves. We proclaim a new doctrine of preemption which is understood by few and feared by many. We say that the United States has the right to turn its firepower on any corner of the globe which might be suspect in the war on terrorism. We assert that right without the sanction of any international body. As a result, the world has become a much more dangerous place. We flaunt our superpower status with arrogance. We treat UN Security Council members like ingrates who offend our princely dignity by lifting their heads from the carpet. Valuable alliances are split. After war has ended, the United States will have to rebuild much more than the country of Iraq. We will have to rebuild America’s image around the globe. The case this Administration tries to make to justify its fixation with war is tainted by charges of falsified documents and circumstantial evidence. We cannot convince the world of the necessity of this war for one simple reason. This is a war of choice. There is no credible information to connect Saddam Hussein to 9/11. The twin towers fell because a world-wide terrorist group, Al Qaeda, with cells in over 60 nations, struck at our wealth and our influence by turning our own planes into missiles, one of which would likely have slammed into the dome of this beautiful Capitol except for the brave sacrifice of the passengers on board. The brutality seen on September 11th and in other terrorist attacks we have witnessed around the globe are the violent and desperate efforts by extremists to stop the daily encroachment of western values upon their cultures. That is what we fight. It is a force not confined to borders. It is a shadowy entity with many faces, many names, and many addresses. But, this Administration has directed all of the anger, fear, and grief which emerged from the ashes of the twin towers and the twisted metal of the Pentagon towards a tangible villain, one we can see and hate and attack. And villain he is. But, he is the wrong villain. And this is the wrong war. If we attack Saddam Hussein, we will probably drive him from power. But, the zeal of our friends to assist our global war on terrorism may have already taken flight. The general unease surrounding this war is not just due to "orange alert." There is a pervasive sense of rush and risk and too many questions unanswered. How long will we be in Iraq? What will be the cost? What is the ultimate mission? How great is the danger at home? A pall has fallen over the Senate Chamber. We avoid our solemn duty to debate the one topic on the minds of all Americans, even while scores of thousands of our sons and daughters faithfully do their duty in Iraq. What is happening to this country? When did we become a nation which ignores and berates our friends? When did we decide to risk undermining international order by adopting a radical and doctrinaire approach to using our awesome military might? How can we abandon diplomatic efforts when the turmoil in the world cries out for diplomacy? Why can this President not seem to see that America’s true power lies not in its will to intimidate, but in its ability to inspire? War appears inevitable. But, I continue to hope that the cloud will lift. Perhaps Saddam will yet turn tail and run. Perhaps reason will somehow still prevail. I along with millions of Americans will pray for the safety of our troops, for the innocent civilians in Iraq, and for the security of our homeland. May God continue to bless the United States of America in the troubled days ahead, and may we somehow recapture the vision which for the present eludes us.

2003-03-23 23:47:55 – Stumpy
I think everyone has some very valid points in this argument. However, the peaceniks don’t have any strong supporting facts to back up their arguments. all they do is run around and holler "no war for oil". this war is not for oil, which is why i do wish that bush and the media would refrain from making comments about our military doing a good job of defending the oil wells in iraq. it begins to make me wonder what we are really fighting for. i do understand why protecting the wells is important though, the iraqi’s will need a consumable product to sell to the world in order for a new economy to take hold in that country. the iraqi regime under hussein’s leadership does support and aid in the training of terrorists. there is no other explanation why a 747 fuselage would be in the middle of a desert. hussein and his sons are generally evil men, spraying people with acids to slowly eat the flesh off their bodies just because they didn’t say hello to you in an appropriate tone of voice is no reason to kill a person. having rape rooms in palaces for entertainment purposes is a abhorent idea. these are just a couple of reasons why the iraqi people should be freed from hussein’s regime. I do not think that the united states should be closely involved in the rebuilding of iraq, except for foreign aid and humanitarian aid, until their economy can allow the iraqi people to take care of themselves. as far as having support from the world in this war, we have more countries backing our decision than bush 41 had in the gulf war. bush 41 had the support of 34 countries, bush 43 now has the support of 45 countries publicly and several others that for safety reasons wish to remain anonymous. (this is where i get frustrated) as far as germany, france, and canada are concerned, we don’t really need their help in this war. france is blatantly trying to make the un seem unnecessary ( which they are) only to push for the advancement of the european union, germany is all for the european union as well, and canada is a suburb of france so i guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. if it wasn’t for the united states intervention in wwii the french would be speaking german right now along with many other european countries. so the french of all people should be behind us in this war, do they not want freedom for the iraqi people? it is a distinct possibility. france has made some under the table deals with iraq (against un resolutions) and i think they could stand to lose a lot when iraq’s regime is changed. all in all i think that war is bad. i hate it when people die unnecessarily, which is why we have to help iraq as quickly as possible. the sooner we free them, the sooner they can get on with their new found freedom and the quicker we can get our own troops home safely. ( then it’s on to north korea).

Truck sadness.

Posted on by

My truck is fatale. It’s supposed to have ~150psi in each cylinder, and mine has 125/135/15/0 psi in cylinders 1/2/3/4, respectively. That essentially means my truck is dead. Guess I’ll start shopping around for another vehicle soon. *sigh* Anybody have any recommendations on what to do with a dead truck? It has a bunch of good parts, but does not run. *watches money flush down the drain* [b]Update[/b] – Anybody know of a place to pick up a semi-manly vehicle on the cheap? I’m lookin 😉 [b]Update[/b] – It’s Ash Wednesday. Which means that yesterday was Mardi Gras. I missed it. I didn’t even get trashed. *hrmph*

I hear you can get a fairly good car/truck at auto auctions. Might be worth a trip to Denver for the Denver auto auction. I think they might have a website, I’ll look tomarrow.

Fuck you disco
2003-03-09 04:26:36 – The Disco Nova
Awww, that is about the level of intelligence I would expect from a meathead wrestler. If you are gonna be a meathead, at least be good at that and win some matches. Or do you like being the submissive one when rolling around with a sweaty guy?

The post "fuck you Disco" pretty much said all that needed to be said. My pals would probably be rolling on the floor to hear someone called me a meathead. Did you get picked on a lot when you were little? Seem pretty phobic toward the physically gifted. What can I say, I’m a bad ass. Not everyone can have it. To quote the D, if I knew the formula, I’d funnel it up, and give it out for free! As for the singlets, you wouldn’t dislike them as much if you saw me in it. I’m totally fuckin hot! And its clear you are a gay homophobe, so I’m sure you could enjoy it. To sum up: fuck you disco!

Anyone noticing how when news is supposedly slow that the amount of comments go way up? Oh wait… this is because somehow I unleashed the bane of my website onto Randal’s. Sorry all.
2003-03-09 23:56:05 – The Disco Nova
The fact that I’m a small person has nothing to do with this. It was people like you that shoved me into lockers because I was smaller than them.
2003-03-10 00:21:53 – Siaokh
Yes dice.. you are SO unbelieably hot in your singlet… Take me now or lose me forever! ROFL. -Tim
2003-03-10 01:36:32 – Dice
Disco: I never shoved anyone into anything. Sorry about your tragic past. If its still happening, maybe you can hire me or something. (It’s not like i’m exceptionally big. In fact, im very skinny) Tim: Sorry guy, I’m spoken for. That, and I’m just too much man for ya.

If there is a fight, can we do it pay-per-view style? You can make a mint off those things!
2003-03-16 18:51:33 – WC
Awesome party guys. Randal I hope to see a post soon with those crazy pics. Well worth the drive from Denver – and the long nap afterwards. I got home and just fell over. Until next time be ->chill<-

I was at my little sister’s birthday party, watching them. 8 14 year olds. They didn’t sleep. All nite. Not a moment. So I didn’t sleep. And then I went to work. Wish I was at your party.

Truck, Phone, Misc.

Posted on by

My truck is dead. Called up the place this morning, and although they haven’t checked all four yet, cylinder #1 has low compression. You know what that means? That means $. Lots of $. So, probably going to cancel the insurance tomorrow morning and start shopping for a new(er) vehicle. Motorcycle is not out of the question, but it *is* impractical. Anybody know where I can pick up a Jeep for cheap? Also, cell phone is on the fritz while T-Mobile gets itself organized. It’ll be the same number — for at least one year: under contract! Tore is going to the Denver Lindy Exchange (DLX) this weekend, so he’ll be in town. Alone. Although I’d like to harp on this “alone” factor, I will not. I’ll leave it to him to sob like a little baby for being, as like every other male with a hangup on a particular girl, a little moth, attracted to the oh-so-light-and-pretty flame that will eventually melt his eyes out and tear his palpitating heart from his chest and run it through a meat grinder, resulting in him turning into a broken wreck, a mere husk of what he was. Or not. Up to him. [b]Update[/b] – You know, it’s kind of sad, but I almost miss Burnz. He’s the hugest asshole I know, and he is filled with such hate and spite that his commentary is inevitably hilarious. I feel sorry for those people who spend any amount of time with him. Almost miss him. Not quite. Also, do not go outside without a hat and gloves. Coat optional. It’s freaking cold.

2003-03-04 01:11:07 – The Disco Nova
Burnz has single-handedly kept me from turning into him. I have cut way back on my drinking, and have been trying to see the good in all things. I fail in that last part most of the time, but I feel that I am a better person for trying.

I don’t know what your take is on this mode of transportation, but repairing your bicycle might alleviate some of your transportation woes.
2003-03-05 16:10:44 – Netheus
I just upgraded my box….. oh, how sweet it is!! I got a 120GB HD (added), 256 mB RAM (added), and a 2100 AMD processor… (((sooooo fast…..ahwhwhwhwhwhwhwhhhh)))) So, I have a 1 GH AMD for sale. I also have a VCR, a black and white TV with a broken antena, a printer, and some other stuff, if anyone is looking for anything. I will negotiate for everything. sooooo ffffaaasssstttt….ooooooooo…aaaahhhhhhhh

Who else thinks that Neth’s vibrator is hooked up to her computer now?
2003-03-05 23:22:42 – WC
I could understand Neth if she were a geek, but Disco has a point… hrm kinda reminds me of the [L=http://www.onzin.nl/fufme/index.htm]fufme[/L] device 😉

‘nother update

Posted on by

Nother update, I guess. Truck is dead, and I broke down and took it to the shop. On the way, I could tell that something is really wrong … felt like I was driving on 1 cylinder. so … it’s probably dead dead, which means it’s almost time to start car hunting. Um … other than that, not much is going on. I’m really tired all the time, and it is not fun. I don’t sleep really well, because I’m all stressed because of truck/work1/work2/home-situation. It’s all piling up … thinking of a way I can get away for a little without having it all go to hell in a handbasket. Oh, another thing. HPI is no longer paying for my cell phone as of Feb 28. Should I stick with Voicestream, go to another provider, or say fuck it all and cancel the phone? I use ~ 500 minutes of peak time every month, about 60 mins of LD every month and a shitload (600+) mins of offpeak time. I travel seldom, and if I do, it is to large cities, usually in the Western USA. If someone wants to track down the best plan for me, I’d be much appreciative 🙂 [b]Update[/b] A [L=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3502796730]beatiful example[/L] of humanity’s vast progression.

verizon or AT&T i hear are good, but actually, cingular actually seems to be OK too. no sprint!
2003-02-26 23:08:03 – sprint_sucks
I loathe and despise everything that is Sprint. When I cancel my sprint account, I’m going with an re-up plan with one of the carriers, maybe mLife. Sprint sucks donkey balls.
2003-02-27 02:14:24 – The Jeff
dude, DO NOT go with AT&T, especially if you live in boulder. They have decent service plans and features, but the reception on thier cell network SUCKS. i made the mistake of signing a contract with them… and now i hate their service so much that i think it might be worth it to pay the money to get out of att and switch over to Verizon, which is the best of them all. Check out my damned webpage, www.ILikeLasagna.com
2003-02-27 02:52:53 – pinky
omg, jeff posted on your page. whoa!
2003-02-27 12:50:01 – Master Ha-reed
I do agree w/ "The Jeff" about AT&T’s reception in Boulder – but their reception in the Springs is pretty damn good, IMO. Also – the people @ E-Bay should be seriously hurt for letting [L=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3502796730]this shit[/L] be labeled as "art". Furthermore, anyone who considered buying that (see link) should be executed for their stupidity. Lastly, Randal needs a reprimand for spelling beautiful without the ‘u’.
2003-02-28 08:45:59 – fourdegrees
i’ve been real happy with AT&T. check out their unlimited minutes plan on their GSM network since you don’t travel much. footprint covers all the major spots already and reception has always been good for me (but then i’m still on TDMA)… : )
2003-02-28 09:41:11 – Netheus
just remeber, you don’t have a land line. In order to stay plugged in, you need at least a beeper and a whole buncha quarters.

Hey Randy I thought of you when I read this. Which one are you? http://lotl.cc/humor/lanpeople.php

Okay, Informal Poll Questions

Posted on by

Okay, so we’re starting a CyberCafe. We have a URL and a logo picked and made, as well as a very large, very detailed business plan. But we are lacking one thing, and that is the approach to the whole thing: Should it be a computer gaming place + loungey/coffee-esque thing [b]OR[/b] Computer gaming place + pool + arcade games + small lounge? Any input on this topic is of great importance, and will most definitely impact what we choose to do. I’m having a hell of a time finding a cruiser (motorcycle) that is > 250cc and < 750cc. They just don't exist unless you want an early 90s model. And I don't want to get stuck with a tiny little bike that I'll want to sell in 2 months, and I don't want a monster that I'll be afraid to ride. Suck. At least I've got mad bank right now. heh. After some more thought, have decided that the Becky thing is a lost cause. 'nuff said. Went out w/ Christine for coffee last night and had a good time, although I wouldn't wish her situation upon anybody. It made me realize, primarily, that everybody has family issues -- *nobody* is exempt. Secondly, it really hit home that Family is the one thing that we can't get rid of, ever. I'm not sure if that's good or bad, though. Props to Craigalito on landing a job at an ISP ... you're in for a ride ... hope things are as well run there as they are here 😉 Oh, and yesterday was the 3 year ... oh, forget it already. I'm such an idiot.

2003-02-20 18:05:10 – pinky
since there are a million and four coffee shops in colo. springs, and admittedly, not enough things for folks under 21 to do i would say arcade/pool/etc. and make it a place that isn’t sketchy like that pool place by the citadel. yeah, that’s all. go to hell 🙂
2003-02-20 19:32:51 – Siaokh
How big of a location are yall planning on renting? Where in town is it? What is your target markets age? Wireless for those who want to bring their own laptops? Charging on a time basis, or a data basis? What kind of machines (Gaming powerhouses, or just some run of the mill machines like you’d find in kinko’s) What sort of hours of operation? How are you going to prevent "Hacking" or people stealing other peoples passwords with keyloggers? etc etc…. Personally i’d go with the computer gaming place + loungy-ish stuff… a few arcade machines around the joint and maybe a 6foot small pool table. Plopping yourself down with a cup of coffee to talk with friends, you really dont want a computer in your way… or do you? i dunno… Rambling and what not at this point. -Tim
2003-02-21 14:45:17 – Netheus
I think that your place should have lots of cool stuff, but you need to watch out for space. Do you have a location picked out, or a general buisness plan that involves a building design that you will try to adhere to? See, I am not good at buisnessy stuff, but physical locations and the what not- design, set-up, what looks good, parking, various random legal stuff- that’s what I know.
2003-02-21 20:37:54 – Garfunkalow
I would recommend the p00l + small lounge thing.. arcade games.. um.. you are going to have computers there right? oh yeah.. a liquor license would be nice to those who are 21+, maybe not kegs and whatnot, but at least beers in a bottle.. like chipolte… mmm… beer… -Ian
2003-02-21 21:05:17 – Disco Nova
I’m guessing that a Liquor license will be a little out of randalls price range.
2003-02-21 23:34:41 – pinky
i retract my statement in a previous thread stating that randal was over what’s her name. that is all 🙂
2003-02-21 23:45:19 – rand0m
heh. 😉
2003-02-22 00:48:23 – WC
Thx Randal. I have a lot of work ahead of me. I think a nice hang out would be cool. Loungy feel + a pool table + giant beanbag chairs w/ X-Box/Gamecube area. As for computers I’d go with not top of the line PC’s but something a notch or two down. As for drinks I recommend only selling bottled drinks. That way you minimize the spillage. I’d also recommend getting some turntables (low end models but DJable for starters) that way if a person feels the need they can provide music for your [u]fans[/u]
2003-02-22 10:31:16 – Netheus
Yeah, the turntable thing is a good idea, because if you at least have the are to set it up, DJ’s like Cracker and my sweetie can bring their own shit.
