…Will be this game. I swear to God THQ runs right down the street from my store, and they come in to my shop, so I’ve gotten to know them. Do they not know how much time I will end up spending in this game? And do you think I can get a shout out for ‘Da Emperor?

You don’t get it. We laugh at farts because we are sophisticated!!!
I am still here.
Yet I am Gosh Darn Busy.
Who would have known that switching from a 24 hour a week job to a 50+ hour a week job would infringe on my free time???
I just watched a movie called ‘Nerdcore Rising’ and it was awesome.
It reminded me of my favorite nerdcore artist; MC DJ MSE. You know of him right? Well you should!!! www.myspace.com/mcdjmse
Anyways, things are super busy, what with me running the most profitable nerd store in the entirety of Los Angeles. Oh yeah, no shit, that’s real.
I’m sitting here, pondering my next steps. It causes me to look at my present;
1) I am the manager of Games Workshop; Oakbrook Plaza in Thousand Oaks, CA. This store whups a llama’s ass, Games Workshop is both the Mac Daddy, as well as the Daddy Mac. I love what I do, and am so glad to be doing it…really well.
2) I have multiple booked wrestling show on the horizon. I am booked for a Royal Rumble style match in San Diego in March, as well as a full on show here in the LA area come May. Finally, Almighty Ray will return to the ring. Now if only I can come out dominating as well…
3) My little black Miata has finally died on me. It’s been a good 10+ year run. Time to turn a new page.
4) My Sketch Comedy Show: Pop Co, just drew a respectable house and does not appear to be on the cancellation block for the first time in 3 months+, this is a good thing. I have much I want to do with this show, and not being canceled was first on the agenda.
5) I am currently living my with girlfriend Melissa in her swanky (Read; Missing window glass) apartment here in North Hollywood. It’s been good so far, even though we have illegal cats living with us that we must hide every so often.
6) I have written no poetry, and no rap in a while now. Kinda thinking I should get back up on that.
My sketch comedy writing has also taken a backseat to other things lately.
7) No auditions to speak of lately. In fact, I’m pretty sure that mainstream Hollywood can go F itself. I was convinced a long time ago that I was going to have to back door into this business anyways, so no drastic paradigm shifts there.
I am very pleased to be keeping status quo right now. I am currently considering my next big undertaking. Should I make a run at stand up? Should I cut a new nerdcore album? Should I fling myself into the local wrestling scene?
Who knows? Let’s face facts, like the dandelion seed, I have always gone where the wind has blown me.
Let’s find out together what the hell 2010 is supposed to mean to me. We all know that by the end of the year it’s going to have meant something!

>офис обзавеждане is what is up now.
First off, What the H man??? How did I go so long without posting? What am I, some kind of jerkface?
Anyways, Games Workshop is the best job I have ever had, besides that one time I stripped for money.
I run the show, I make the dough. It’s a sales job, but I sell goblins for a living, I am the nerd king of shit and it is awesomeness!
Anyways, I am in a far better place than I have ever been before. My regional manager came to visit on Thursday, and canceled his visit the following week because I was crushing shit so hard it was turning into diamonds.
I have new goals, they involve world domination. I will do it. You will help me.
You ready to take over the world?

Quickie;
Is really the GOP’s biggest issue with a public option ‘How will it get paid for?’
Seriously? They launched 2 illegal wars without any minimal concern as to how it would get paid for!
Perhaps they should be more actively concerned about saving American lives instead of ending them?

That is my foundation for being put into words.
I will now transcribe it for the rest of you;
‘We must be open to new information at all times even if it threatens our current belief system and hence, identities. Sadly, society today has failed to recognize this and the established institutions continue to paralyze growth by preserving outdated social structures. Simultaneously the population suffers from a fear of change, for their conditioning assumes a static identity. And challenging ones belief system usually results in insult and apprehension for being wrong is erroneously associated with failure. When, in fact to be proven wrong should be celebrated for it is elevating someone to a new level of understanding furthering awareness.”
-Zeitgeist Addendum.
Amazing and true…Glad someone put it into words.

So I suppose that satire isn’t for everybody, especially the ‘tarded.
I wrote this op/ed satire piece a little while ago for the now defunct ‘Big News Report’ website;
http://bignewsreport.wordpress.com/2007/04/15/whats-wrong-with-police-brutality
I just got word of yet ANOTHER negative comment telling me how dumb I am. Did Johnathon Swift have such issues when he wrote ‘A Modest Proposal’? Oh wait, of course he did, stupid knows not just one generation.
So I just got word that the following comment was just posted up for that post, which is a little old by now. Here is the comment from ‘Jack’;
I don’t care how much emotions they have, They are supposed to pick that job because they are good people. Not because they liked to bully people but graduated high school. Everybody doesn’t hate any group and I’d even say most don’t hate any group. The hate of hippies was a brain washing anyway designed by the government to distract and discredit the protesters of the veitnam war. There isn’t anything they did that earned that hate. They used drugs and had sex; That sounds like college. At least they had the courage to stand for what they believed. Supporting police brutality is to support the degeneration of freedom. One day they may make a law that has the police brutalizing you and I bet you will find it quite an injustice.
Well, check out the article and decide for yourself how obvious it is that it was a satire. i figure there are people out there who actually believe that Stephen Colbert is really a Republican, so dumb happens. It’s just mildly annoying that people can be this dumb.

APB on a Mr. Tim Cary and a Mr. Samir Jasuga.
You were a very good friend way back when in Livonia, Michigan to a one Mr. Ray Stakenas.
This would have been like over 20 years ago.
Samir I lost contact with early in life. But Tim I believe moved to Saginaw when I was like 12 years old.
If either of you would like to contact me and let me know how life has been all these years later I would LOVE to hear from you!!!
Just leave a comment to this post.
Peace!

I guess it was only a matter of time;
I now finally have my own entry at IMDB.com!!!
