Let me tell you sonny... let me tell you straight

You kids today ain't never had it tough

Always had everything handed to you on a silver plate

You lazy brats think nothing's good enough



Well, nobody ever drove me to school when it was ninety degrees below

We had to walk buck naked through forty miles of snow

Worked in the coal mines twenty two hours a day for just half a cent

Had to sell my internal organs just to pay the rent



When I was your age. When I was your age

When I was your age. When I was your age



Let me tell you something, you whiny little snot

There's something wrong with all you kids today

You just don't appreciate all the things you've got

We were hungry, broke, and miserable and we liked it fine that way



There were seventy three of us living in a cardboard box

All I got for Christmas was a lousy bag of rocks

Every night for dinner, we had a big 'ol chunk of dirt

If we were really good, we didn't get dessert



When I was your age. When I was your age

When I was your age. When I was your age



Didn't have no telephone, didn't have no FAX machine

All we had was a couple cans and a crummy piece of string

Didn't have no swimming pool when I was just a lad

Our neighbor's septic tank was the closest thing we had

Didn't have no dental floss, had to use old rusty nails

Didn't have Nintendo, we just poured salt on snails

Didn't have no water bed, had to sleep on broken glass

Didn't have no lawnmower, we used our teeth to cut the grass



What's the matter now, sonny, you say you don't believe this junk?

You think my story's wearin' kinda thin?

I tell you one thing, I never was such a disrespectful punk

Back in my time, we had a thing called discipline



Dad would whoop us every night till a quarter after twelve

Then he'd get too tired and he'd make us whoop ourselves

Then he'd chop me into pieces and play frisbee with my brain

And let me tell ya, Junior, you never heard me complain



When I was your age. When I was your age

When I was your age. When I was your age

I'm rambling here, so feel free to ignore this.



I've noticed, as I'm sure a great many of others have, that when I speak with someone, it's usually on the same level that they initiate the conversation on. I rarely begin a conversation so the first impression I have is that initial statement. If I am spoken to as a mentor, then I respond as if to a student. If spoken as a friend, I'm right there as a friend. Be confrontational and I have to think you're out of your mind, but I will respond in kind.

Odd.. I didn't really say anything profound, but I wanted to write that. Perhaps if you are thinking of writing to me, think about what you are saying. It really is my first impression of you.

Don't make me think you are a dumbass if you aren't.

The last couple of days have been interesting.

I submitted my resume for the position of Director of The Western Arizona Humane Society.

I love being able to pick up the phone and calling the people who choose the new director and interviewing them to see if I want the job, before I've even applied. When I send in my resume, they feel glad that I approved of them to even consider working there. Points in my favor. I really am one of the best qualified out of the applicants and I bring a lot to the table, So I really do have a good shot at this. And it would be one of the easiest jobs I've ever held.

Today I recieved my first aid / CPR certification. Cool. 6 hours of training at the firehouse, but its done.

Every once in a while I'll buy a powerball ticket. I feel lucky. Usually, when I get these feelings I trust them and they've done me right. I've won $75 on a 50cent pull of a slot machine, and its saved my life many times as a hunter. However, when I get the feeling, I buy the ticket, and I don't win millions upon millions. WTF?

Now I have to go and tell the boss I was just kidding and that he shouldn't shove his job up his..

So I've got this thought. You know how there are just a few idiots bouncing around handing out 1's and just being a general pain in the ass? Imagine if Cancer implemented a procedure by which PMs could commit "diablerie". A voting system where, say, a minimum of PMs (5 + the level of the offender, double the votes are needed to call for Diablerie of an offending PM. Example: A mosquito would need 7 PMs to call for Diablerie: base 5 plus level 2 = 7. If that mosquito were a PM it would take 14 : 7x2=14) could vote to drain the profile of an offender. a box on the PM options were you enter the name of the offender, and your picture shows up on that persons profile in a special box (People who want me drained) also add a picture of the offender to the attacking PM's profile (who I want to drain) This is where the remove option could be. This would keep people from forgetting whom they are threatening. Once there are sufficant PMs in the Diablerie box, a message is sent to Cancer and all admins and acolytes. Any three admins or acolytes could veto a Diablerie. Pictures of defenders would appear above the attacking PMs. Cancer could, of course, VETO any kill. However, if there is sufficent attacking PMs after 7 days straight and no veto then the profile of the offender is drained and perhaps points awarded based on the level drained off the offender. Something like the referral system. Diablerie is of course the devouring of a fellow vampires essance. The political ramifications would be interesting. I don't think that that many PMs would risk abusing this type of an option and it is a real and serious threat to those whom it is used upon.



After a discussion with Daire, I feel that instead of deleting the profile, costing money and agrivation for the admins, a loss of a level with a max cap at whelp would be far more effective and frightening.

I have so much to get finished. It drives me crazy that I will be sitting for four hours this afternoon. If I don't have a client, I will end up reading or working with the newer students. Its times like this that I wish I had a laptop. We have wireless internet at the school, I just lack a machine to do anything.

I just need hours now in school, so I just work with clients on my rotation. Downtime is such a waste.
