RIP Sheila
Current mood: confused
Category: Pets and Animals

I wont get around to posting this on time, because as I write this, I've been sitting disconnected for about 3 days while Comcast figures out what's wrong with my internet connection.

On July 10th, I went to open my Orange Baboon Tarantula's web to resume it's normal feeding routine, because I noticed after we got home vacationing the 4th of July weekend, along with my house being plundered; that Sheila had moulted. Anyway, I opened the web and found her first to be non-responsive to my entry; which is usually followed by some sort of attack on my tweezers.

Then I noticed she was not only unresponsive, she was dead :(, and obviously had bled out somewhere around her fangs which leads me to believe she bit at something before the new skin was fully hardened, and damaged herself.  The people who robbed my house had to at least bump (or move) the tank around to get into some drawers around the table it sat on. which were laying out on the floor.

Anyone who knows tarantulas knows that you should not disturb them as they're moulting, AT ALL.

Aside that, Sheila was in perfect heatlh before I left for vacation, beside the fact that she hadn't been eating. This is normal around moulting times. These people left narcotic paraphanalia in my room, and who knows what could have transpired; blowing crack smoke or squirting heroin on a tarantula usually isn't a good idea. It quite likely snapped at something  (or perhaps bit someone; I REALLY hope it did - That will leave more trails since it would have probably resulted in an emergency room visit). 

I believe these people killed one of the most beautiful tarantulas I've ever seen, and not only that; It was one friend I know would never screw me around. It may have bitten me defending itself, but that is the nature of the species. I babied it for years and watched it through several moultings. I bought a hygrometer to monitor it's humidity and temperature, and regulated it's entire environment to the slightly higher than ordinary demands it had. My pet is now dead.

Mr. Steve, this is more than personal now. Justice will be had. And I will make sure you are captured. Mark my words. I stole this line; But I 'm going to make my name taste like ass when you speak it. You're nothing special, although you pretend to be from what I know of you.
 
Everyone please read my previous two posts and let me know if you have any information I or the police may be interested in about this guy. All interaction with me is taken anonymously and will not be used for illegal purposes. My objective is having this guy placed under arrest, and all those who were involved. I'm not interested in assault charges or court costs of my own. 

With more people helping, we can get my house on America's Dumbest Criminals along with the degenerates who robbed it, two others, and probably killed my tarantula.  That was the Chief of Police's idea. Not my own. But I like it.

** R.I.P. Sheila :( **

Anyone want to help?
Current mood: optimistic
Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes

For all those who asked me how I know this person really robbed my house, please read the first few paragraphs. His wallet was recovered outside the busted window, and I have since discovered he already has two arrest warrants for breaking and entering charges.

This guy is on the run, and I need to bring justice to this situation. My mom's whole inheritance was taken.  My sister's (albeit short-lived) life savings was stolen, and her pillow was masturbated on by these sick bastards.  If anyone has any information on him or his friends, please let me know or contact the Lansing Police Department.

The police don't seem to be doing anything about tracking this guy down. I will bring no harm upon him, unless I must defend myself. I just want to put him in handcuffs, and get the answers I need as we're taking him into custody.  It will be done legally and tastefully - this is meant to be a citizen's arrest. Not a vengeful payback.  If anyone else is interested in helping, please let me know.

This is a chance for us, as citizens, to help take back our streets from those who would oppress and threaten our way of life, security, and financial freedom. This is a chance to protect our families and children from the degenerate fools who would create low-level terrorism for the benefit of buying drugs with our money.

This is a chance to send a clear message to these "people": We will not tolerate your bullshit anymore. You do not scare us. These streets were made for law abiding (or at the least, decent) citizens. Not for you.

Note to Piss-ants who Rob Houses
Current mood: pissed off
Category: Life

So, while I was up north this weekend I get a telephone call from a friend. My friend tells me one of the windows on my house is shattered and there's a wallet laying by the window. 

So, apparently some guy named Steve Perry has broken into my house and left his wallet outside my broken window. That was a really smart move for someone who's about to be in prison for quite some time on felony charges. Okay, not really. It's about what you'd expect from someone who'd break into a house that's located directly behind a police station.

And no, this post is not being removed, because you're a bitch in every sense of the word, and I'd rather everyone knew about it. You even stole $500 from my little sister who's been saving up all summer.  Some people get their jollies stealing money from children and degrade society because they're incompetent pieces of shit, and some people go out to find jobs like everyone else I guess.

Some people have respect for others. Nimrods from the bottom of the societal chain such as this guy, do not have respect. They have no honor, no class, no path through life.. they have this; Crazy fools like myself who would love nothing more than them to climb back through the window and lift their head up to the barrel of my shotgun. I feel sort of unhappy I didn't get the opportunity, and that's what these people have to look forward to.

Anyway, Mr. Steve, I hope your life inside prison is more productive and valuable than your life outside prison, you stupid insignificant knob-headed pedophile shit-for-brains that leaves DNA-laden heroin addict supplies in peoples' houses, masturbates on pillows that belong to 16 year old girls, can't buy your own condoms, and steals entire bottles of Valtrex (from a house member), probably thinking you'll be as happy as the commercials say.  Most doctors will likely write prescriptions for Herpes without having to steal.

Whatever the towel from my closet was used for; I probably wouldn't have touched that if I were you.  That was sort of gay, to say the least. I can only hope you wiped your face with it after you were done shooting up in my room or something equally hilarious.  I probably have "shot up" that towel a million times. It would be a lot of my children on your face, anyway. An unintentional facial of sorts.

Have fun with your new post-op transexual pseudo-significant-other in Cell Block D, and tell it "Hello" for me. Have lots of anal sex for me, because I'm not into that kind of thing. With about $20,000 missing, it would seem that you are though. You're a worthless fuck, and you can go to hell with the rest of humanity's miscreant creations.

Referee Cortez disgraces boxing on Pacquiao Undercard
Current mood: annoyed
Category: Sports

No doubt, all of us boxing fans who tuned in Saturday night were watching to see the great Manny Pacquiao move in up in weight to challenge Lightweight title holder David Diaz (formely 34-1-1) for his fourth world championship belt in as many weight divisions.  We were treated to that and more, as Pacquiao put on a bedazzling, master-class performance.

The phrase "incomparable ring violence", and the words "tsunami, tornado, and hurricane" were all used to describe Pacquiao's 9th round annihilation of David Diaz in what was a very entertaining, very one-sided fight. It was a level of boxing excitement and brutality we've come to expect when seeing "Pac-Man" get it on. 

In the words of Diaz, "Fucker was fast", "I could handle the power, but I just couldn't handle the speed."  That is the "tsunami" that is Manny Pacquiao, the Filipino sensation that has risen from obscurity to recently become the number one athlete in the sport by pundits, after the retirement of Floyd Mayweather Jr. on June 9th.

It is now increasingly clear that Manny Pacquiao is a force to be reckoned with.

But perhaps the most stomach churning event in recent boxing history unfolded during the co-feature bout which pitted top ranked interim title holder Humberto Soto (now 44-7-2)   against Francisco Lorenzo (now 33-4).  In the 4th round, Soto unloaded, shattering Lorenzo's nose and knocking him down twice, leaving Lorenzo on the canvas leaking blood all over, producing a sickening rain shower looking effect on the canvas. 

But on the second knockdown, as Lorenzo was falling, one of Soto's punches already in midswing, glanced the back of his head,  and referee Joe Cortez quickly called time.. The result was a 10 or 15 minute charade of deliberation which ended in Humberto Soto being disqualified for what appeared to be a glancing unintentional blow that was ruled intentional.

Even worse, Lorenzo was in obvious need of medical attention (from the overall battering he received), and none was immediately given despite the ruling of a concussive intentional blow to the back of the head substantial enough to render Lorenzo unable to continue; but apparently not enough to warrant the need for medical  attention.  Get your act together, people.

This sort of shoddy bullshit pisses me off to no end, and I don't think a single person watching Saturday night could agree with the ridiculous decision that referee Joe Cortez produced, disgracing our sport with his saying "I'm fair, but I'm firm".  Joe, you may be firm, but fair is a far stretch.  Thanks for putting another gruesome dent in our sport, jerk-off.

In another bizarre twist, the WBC decided to not award Francisco Lorenzo the interim championship because of the nature of his victory. That's wonderful, let's cover up one fuck up with another.  So the guy wins a title fight (despite being one of the worst referee decisions I've seen), but he does not win the title. What happens next? A belt for losing? (Oh wait, that just sorta happened!)

Wow, another one :( RIP Tut
Category: Pets and Animals

Well, as some of you know. I have a lot of weird pets, and many have commented to me about how cool Tut the Afghanistanian Veiled Chameleon was.

Last night, I noticed him lying on the floor of his enclosure. He normally gets very agitated if I'm near the tank and he did nothing. I was eating dinner with  my family when I saw it (it's enclosure is by the dinner table) and really didn't want to point it out to my sisters, but I was pretty sure it was dead. 

Anyway, after dinner finished and my sisters had left, I  unzipped the side of his mesh enclosure and figured out he was still alive.  We were without air conditioning for about 10 days very recently, during a pretty nice humidity/heat wave here in Michigan.  Suffice to say, the house was unbearable and I figured maybe Tut was dehydrated.

Tut also had injured his tongue when he was younger, getting it caught on something in the enclosure while snapping  at a cricket, and I was informed at the time that sometimes these type of injuries disable the animal from eating and they have to be force fed.  He kept eating, only with limited range of motion with his tongue, and seemed very healthy, growing to probably over 2 feet in length including the tail in a little more than a year.

The possibility also went through my mind that maybe his condition had worsened and he couldn't eat anymore, becoming weak from that. So for a few days, I've been babying my mom's chameleon and handfeeding it crickets because I would do anything to make my mom happy. 

It was a weird bonding experience, because the chameleon would have never let me hand feed it  before, and was graciously accepting, and not showing it's "war paint" as I had become accustomed to seeing from him.. (They turn all blotchy and get super colorful when they're mad).

We took Tut to a veteranary hospital this afternoon and they determined that his kidneys were failing. We had the clinic put him out of his misery instead of letting him suffer, and he died this afternoon.  Rest in peace Tut. One of the most interesting pets I've ever owned.

Marge, The Wolf Spider: RIP
Current mood: bummed
Category: Pets and Animals

So most people that know me any, realize I keep weird pets. For about a year and a half, I've been taking care of a wolf spider I caught in my yard named "Marge".

I gave Marge this name because I took a digital picture of her and when I zoomed in on the picture, it looked as if there was a woman on her carapace.  The abdomen had markings which lined up to the "head markings" and looked like Marge Simpson hair topping it off.

I don't get weird and emotional over pets like this, but Marge was cool, and I'm going to miss her annihilating pinhead crickets and the constant  annoyance of her water dish drying out and being used as a makeshift burrow, and having to clean it out.

Marge died this morning, most likely of old age, considering I had her quite awhile. No funeral is planned, and a short toilet-side service was given in the privacy of my locked bathroom. 

Rest in peace, Marge!

Copyright infringement
Current mood: amused
Category: Art and Photography

Okay, so for quite possibly several years now I've made it my undying devotion to infringe on random copyrights at least once a week in my blog. I find the obsessive need to do this overwhelming and blogging just isn't the same without it.  Just kidding... But even if I'm not; this is sort of funny:

About a fucking year ago or more, I decided to upload some boxing related video of myself shadowboxing and myspace's automated system told me I was infringing copyrights. I said "ok", and changed the filename and title of the video to "Not infringing copyrights" or something of that nature.  No problem. 

But this didn't work either, And I very quickly forgot about the entire problem since I didn't really give a shit anyway. Just a few minutes ago, I go to the "My videos" section on myspace, and I get this awesome surprise . . .

. . .  My "infringed" videos now show up a year later! And I can neither play nor delete them! But I can tell I've infringed copyrights by uploading footage of myself somehow! That's pretty cool. They need to make a system where I can sue myself by siphoning payment from my Paypal account too.

I wonder if the RIAA knows about this yet?

Mayweather in WWE 24
Current mood: tired
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities

Well, this spectacular bedazzlingly stupid circus match has ended, and Floyd Mayweather - the almost universally recognized number one Pound for Pound athlete in boxing scriptfully knocks the  proclaimed largest athlete in the world, The Big Show unconscious in 11 minutes and some odd seconds.  

The entire spectacle was what you’d expect from the WWE, it started out tame, you thought maybe there was something to it. Mayweather sticks Big Show several times in the face and ducks around him and Big Show can’t even keep up.

Then in a huge embarassingly scripted turn-around, Big Show starts beating up puny Mayweather, stepping on his hands. Mayweather’s camp drags him out of the ring saying it’s against the rules for Big Show to walk on him and stomp his hands, and it isn’t - there is no rules. 

So Big Show leaves the ring, blasts away at Mayweather’s handlers  and then drags Floyd back into the ring to resume the ass-kicking. Until, in another horrible scripted turnaround, one of Mayweather’s handlers distracts Big Show, and Mayweather dons the wrestler’s choice weapon - The metal folding chair. 

Big show gets slammed across the face about fifty million times and the chair gets dented in, and then Floyd Mayweather wins the fight with one impressive looking right hook with brass knuckles.  Hurray for show business. 

It doesn’t do much for me, but if it does for you.. Whatever, dude. I’m only glad Floyd Mayweather didn’t totally embarass the boxing world with his flamboyant retardization of the sport.

Here’s hoping Oscar totally kicks his ass in September, following a repeat of last May. And this time Floyd can’t use WWE tricks and metal folding chairs to scriptfully come back from the brink of crying pain to win some kind of weird fucked up boxing match either.  More fun there.

Pavlik vs Taylor II Pre-amble
Current mood: anxious
Category: Sports

The countdown is on. In about an hour, one of the most highly (and relatively shortly) anticipated rematches in boxing history is set to take stage at the MGM Grande of Las Vegas, Nevada. 

Once defeated, once undisputed middleweight champion of the world, Jermain "Bad Intentions" Taylor (27-1-1 17KO); the man who ended Bernard Hopkins' historic streak of title defenses; once again faces off against the only man to defeat him in the professional ranks - Kelly "The Ghost" Pavlik (32-0 29KO).

I think most of us in the boxing world know this was once of the most exciting matchups of 2007, and this should be no exception.  The only sour point, if you can call it that, is that Pavlik enters the ring without his title on the line.  I think most of us probably would rather see this as a defense.. but perhaps it's a smart move for Pavlik.

Taylor made a lot of mistakes the first time out, and I'm looking for him to have worked on correcting these a bit tonight. Despite my overwhelming affinity for Kelly Pavlik, I'd love nothing more than to see a trilogy.  That aside, my prediction: Pavlik by late knockout or split decision.

Roy Jones Jr. vs Felix Trinidad Recap
Current mood: bored
Category: Sports

Well, they put it all out there. Two legends of boxing largely considered washed up and past their primes; Roy Jones Jr, and Felix "Tito" Trinidad battled it out for twelve rounds last night in what was actually a very exciting fight.  I'd say it made the whole circus-act buildup surrounding the event actually more believable.. as I'm sure many of us weren't expecting this sort of fight.

Trinidad, coming off something like a 36 month layoff, opened the fight swinging tactically, stumbling Jones early in the first round with a punch I thought would spell disaster, and taking a short early lead. As the round closed, Trinidad landed more shots that seemed to phase Jones, and the second round was no different.

From then on, it was largely all Jones. Jones used his trademark agility, and pecked Trinidad off with powerpunches, dropping the former champion twice en route to a 12 round unanimous decision victory. In the words of Michael Buffer, Roy Jones turned back the clock on his career for at least one more performance last night. 

Trinidad was game. But in my opinion, he just chose the wrong opponent to come out of retirement against.  I said this when I first heard the fight was announced... They said he came off a 36 month layoff or something... You don't do that and fight Roy Jones. Come on, now. That said, I don't think this has any negative impact on Trinidad, he fought a very galiant effort.

Very good fight...

The one memorable fight on the undercard, besides Andrew Golota's morbidly swollen eye not being able to focus enough to knock out an obviously totally spent opponent, that stood out to me was Roman Karmazin vs Alex Bunema.

This fight bored the hell out of me at first. I was between falling asleep and pleading with Bunema to step-pivot to the right and launch an overhand right for 9 rounds, when finally in the tenth - he found his mark. Roman "Made in Hell" Karmazin ate a combination ending with a straight right that knocked him unconscious and halfway through the ropes.

Alex Bunema becomes the new WBA inter-continental champion with this upset win.  And thank god, Roman Karmazin really needs to go back to his basics if he claims to be made in Hell.  Keep your left hand up, dude.
