I must be the most lucky guy in the world, if not the most annoyed. I have come across such a speldor of a race on the web, I come across them every so often, I come across them ALL OF THE TIME. You know these people, they are gods, in thier own mind. I had to write about these idiots, to get them off of my chest.

 

Thier god complexs drive me nuts. It shouldnt, as this is just the web, and they are just text to me, but it irks me something terribl to know there are these people out there, and even more people who are dumb enough to believe them. There are different types of the gods I've encounted a few earlier that I'll mention.

 

(I'm not saying everyone is a liar, but you can spot these people as they will talk about thier subject and nothing else. Of course each god can be a mixture of two or more, which is often the case)

 

We have the Technology God

The Money God

The Clever God

The Bashing/Supreme Intelligence god

The Mirror God

 

 

- The technology God - . .. .You know these people, they have the best computer that has ever existed, and can't help themselves but to spam thier fictional computers credentials every chance they get. "WHAT!? You mean youre not running over 1000 mb of RAM, wow how can you survive? I need over 1000 mb of RAM to run my 4 dozen moniter system, my 4 DVD burners, my 8,000 versions of Windows running at once, a special adapter so I can turn my PC into a MAC with the click of my golden mouse. I also have a beta (secret) version of the unreleased Pentium 80 processor, which gives me enough power to start my car from my computer" When they are not on thier computer, they are usually watching thier HDTV Plasma TV, which also connects to the web BTW. They have 5 of these, at $20,000 a pop, with 16 Tivos hooked up to each one through a self created network that hooks into thier super computer. You cant even mention a TV show to these people w/out an in depth anylisis of how they plan to record the show without lifting a finger. They know every solution to every computer problem, and will claim to have worked on huge projects, and been thier hero of those projects, but will never explain what they did. Whats worse, stupid, stupid people buy into this, and believe them.

 

- The Money God - . .. .These people have more money then Scrooge Mcduck, and have mutiple money bins like him too. They usually spend 15 hours aday online, which suggests to me they are unemployed,  but somehow they have more money to burn them most will ever see. They hav alot in commen with the Technology God, as they electronics are superb to anyone elses. They may have a corvette one day, but if another Money God has a corvette, then the original money god's corvette turns into an Aston Martin. These people like to complain alot. Somehing is going wrong with thier finacial situation, and thier income will be cut by 6 figures. But they will still continue to have more money then anyone else. They will often brag about trips they took to Paris last week, when they were online everyday that week. Basically every subject they speak in, they bring up thier money, and a point to mention they have just bought any new and expensive item that just came out, be it 500$ for 5 seasons of TV DVDs or a new 200$ game system because someone put a scrath in thier old one. Most of the time thier expensive things are sitting collecting dust as they only bought them to try them out. Whats worse, stupid, stupid people buy into this, and believe them.

 

- The Clever God - . .. .These are the people who can never be outwitted, and are NEVER wrong. They will often lure someone else into being rude or flaming them, then cry that they were insulted.

Person: "Man this isnt cool"

God: " What do you mean this isnt cool, if your little feelings dont like it then get out"

Person: "HEY! I did nothing to you damnit, dont talk to me like that"

God: "Aww you cussed and were quite rude to me, please wait here while I report you to a moderator"

Another example of these gods can be traced to a sub god, The Passive-Instigator Gods. The best example of this is one who goes by the name of BDCD- Brandon Delrow. These god join message board and play the part of of the most caring passive person alive, yet they are extremely judgmental, and will attempt to cast anyone to hell who does not share thier views. They will run around posting non threating things like: "Heh Heh, thats silly, when I get really really. .. . not happy, but not quite mad, as I never get mad, I eat cheetos and use silly hearts in my posts despite the fact i'm supposed to be a man."

Then secrety they will IM thier target flaming them with curses, wait for you to react, and act like a 5 year old baby, asking others how could a sweet person such as them be the target of such a bad guy? What worse, some stupid, stupid people buy into it, and believe them.

 

- The Bashing/Supreme Intelligence God- . .. .These are the people who hate everything, and the reason they hate it is because it dosent hold up to thier standards. They could do SOOO much better, however they choose to spend thier time online bitching about whatever it is they dont like, be it a TV show, sports, ect.

God: "Man oh man, that movie was terrible. That actor needs to have his acting freedom revoked and sent to a school of retarded actors. The plot was soo weak, and the director must have slept through the filming. I knew the end before it was gonna happen. Hell, they should let me write for them, as everything I see I can tear apeart, point out all of the flaws, as I'm that good"

These people will go on, and on, and on. you'll see them everyday complaining about something, but the ironic this is, if they hate something that much, then why do they waste thier time obsessing over it and bashing it online? I think of these people as swamp scum, who have empty lives, probably not too bright upstairs, and they do this to try and create an image of themselves online, they try to be online who they wish they were in real life. In life, these morons are probably shy, unspoken little nobodies. If you happen to like the show or movie they are bashing, then you are ignorent, and dont know anything about anything. Whats worse, people actually buy into this, and believe them.

 

- The Mirror God-. .. .These people are probably the most delusional. While the other gods are putting on an act to make thier little selves feel better, these people actually believe the propoganda they speak about themselves. These are the people who can do anything better, write better, design better, spell better, handle situations better, ect. Not only will they force thier views on you, but insult you if you do not share them. Just tonight on the Star Trek message boards I came across one. He was debating the demise of Enterprise, but had to post over 6,000 words, where at least 5,200 of them werent even Trek related. He mentioned how he has worked with the last 3 presidents, a handful of senators, had contacts within Paramount, was good friends with many of the cast members, ect. ect. Who ever didnt agree with him were called 'kids who dont know better'. I can not do these types of people justice, it's something you have to see for yourself. Like many of the other gods, these people always know better, and ARE better. Whats worse, people buy into this and believe them.

 

I feel better now, I go to many places on the web, and alot of those places has regulars, in total they fall into one of these God Complex Groups, and some fall into others that I havent mentioned. I'll admit, these people have one over on me, as everytime I see them I want to pull my hair out of my head, or post to them what I REALLY think, but bite my tounge.

 

For the record, none of these people are part of The Last Outpost, or The Captain's Table

 

Untill Next Time. .. .

Well, if two days had ever mirrored each other to a tee, they were Monday and Tuesday for me. After my long week end out, I've taken the action of relazation to a new level.

 

Both days I woke up early to put my daughter on the school bus, only to return home and take up where I left off, in the endless realm of dreamscapes. There, amist the dream dimensions, I remained untill time to get her off the school bus at 2:30 We made our usual trip to the store after that for cigarettes and slushies! After that another calm evening of cartoons, the Internet, and a bachelor dinner for two!

 

Tonight is like the last. However tonight I put the final touches on my new banner and avatar for The Last Outpost. I will reveal them in a few days when TLO V3 is released.

 

The end of night is drawing near, and soon the evil sound of birds chirping to the sight and feeling of morning shall arrive, so I must take my que, close my eyes and hide from the burning dawn.

 

Untill Then. .. .

They, whoever they are, says "time flies when you are having fun", so can time drag when youre having fun as well?

 

I guess I can't complain about cabin fever now, as I've extremely happy to be home again. I finally got up Friday, and went to the store, as I was completly out of food. It is strange, I decided to really stock up, get evverything in the world w/out reguard to price, and somehow I still couldnt find anything to eat when I came home this evening. I did finally remember to get some Earl Grey Tea to try. I bought EArl Grey Black Tea. I must say, it is very good, kinda strong and a bit spicy. Right down my alley.

 

After I went groccery shopping, I returned home to find my ex wife was on her way over to get my daughter and me. She shows up about once every six weeks to take my daughter and me out. It's not so bad, my daughter needs to spend time with her mother, and I never turn down free food. I guess she is trying to make up for all of those years she made my life hell. While I will never forget her evil deeds, I will admit it is a nice gesture.

 

We ended up going simply to Taco Bell to eat, as we decided to change our plans and didn't want to waste time. After we ate, we headed out to her mothers house in the country, The IN-LAW. Funny thing about my ex mother n law is, we clashed on every possable point when I was married to her daughter, to the point that we were unofficial enimies. Now that her daughter and me are no longer together, we get along great, and she is actually a pleasure to be around. We spent a few hours out there, hanging out, talking, watching her dog do tricks, while the kids played together. When we left we allowed her youngest son (7) to catch a ride with us to take him to his dads for the weekend, THE OTHER N LAW, who like his ex wife, treats me really good now that I am divorced from his daughter.

 

We eventually ended up at her (my ex's) house, where I decided to stay the night, as I was still sufferering from cabin fever. Besides, my daughter wanted to stay and play with her half sisters. We watched 'Waking Up in Reno', which I enjoyed, and went to sleep as we didnt get there till pretty late.

 

The next day I woe up sweating, as if I was in some type of steam bath. I finally realized that was because the first day of Spring brought warm tempartures nearing 80°F, and the heat was still on from the previous cold night. I turned the heat off, and went outside to enjoy a perfect day. From there it all went wrong. .. .

 

WE got the bright idea to get the kids dressed, and take them to the park to play. On the way to the park the breaks locked up on her car. Luckilly, we were close to a field, and pulled off the road in time, before they locked up all of the way. So now what to do? Despite the fact I am the fursthest thing from a mechanic this side of the Atlantic, I had to get under the car and try to rig the breaks so we could move. An hour later, and covered in grease, I tapped out in submission. There was a store a short way down the road, so I thought 'why not' and went and bought me a 12 pack of beer to pass the time of being stuck, and bought the kids some drinks. Then an amazing thing happened here in a city where everyone hates everyone. A stranger pulled over, and offered to help, then another. The two men worked for another hour on the car, untill they rigged it so the front breaks were unhooked, leaving us with only our back breaks. I may not be a mechanic, but I know enough to know that is not the safist way to travel, but it was sure better then sitting there on the side of the street for any longer.

 

We decided to throw caution to the wind, and go back to her house. After a few scares and heart a tacks later, we made it back home, long after dark. After spending a day stuck on the side of the road in the sun, I was happy to be anywhere. The kids were in bed, so we stayed up most of the night drinking beers, playing cards, and talking about the old days, when everything seemed to be in sync. Eventually the alcohol got the best of us, and we pased out around 4 AM.

 

Flash forward to 9 AM, I am suddenly awoke by the ear piercing sound of 3 little girls jumping around and playing in 'Hyper Mode'. Quickly though, the pain of my pierced ear drums gave way to a new pain, the type of pain that only attack those unlucky enough to be hung over. I layed there for a while, remembering the Star Trek TNG episode I had just watched 3 or 4 days ago 'Relics' where Scotty told the crew of the Enterprise D "Dont ya drink, unless you are prepaired to pay the next morning" And who says you can't learn anything from Star Trek  After an hour or so of laying on the floor feeling sorry for myself, I managed to get up and make breafast for the 3 kids.

 

I lounged around for most of the day, trying to shake off my hang over and screaming "CALM DOWN" to the girls every 6½ minutes. Finally I decided it was time to go home, and despite my ex's pleads for us to stay, she took us home, but not before realizing that those back breaks were almost non existant. WE would have to hit the breaks a good 20 feet in advance for us to come to a stop, thus we drove very slow, in the middle of a city with heavy traffic. We experienced a few middle fingers, some insults and racial slurs (strange, since we are both white ) before finally getting to my house. I wished her luck, and came in, where like I said found nothing to eat despite my just going shopping before I left for the week end.

 

Finally I decided on Tombstone pizzas for my daughter and me. She is in bed, and I am so tired I cannot sleep. It's almost 1 AM, and there is nothing on TV, and I'm too tired, and still a little dead from last night to surf the web much longer.

 

People get excited over 3 day week ends, but I wouldnt wish a a 5 year week end on anyone

 

~Myke

What can I say, another day has passed, and another has arrived. If I had just a little less natural instict to keep track of time, I'd think this was one long day that has lasted for weeks.

 

Saddly enough, the major thing that stands out today is the fact that I created this blog. It's kind of a group thing that a few friends of mine talked me into doing. I hope I can keep up with it, as consistancy isnt one of my strong points. I've been thinking of making one for a while now though. However I cannot get the link generator to work, thus the ansence of links so far. I am still unsure if I can use HTML or UBBC code to format my entries. Oh well, I am unsure about alot of things.

 

I heard from an old friend today, Serra *****. That was a nice surpsie as she was one of my best friends, a friend whom I rarley hear from these days. She sent me an IM on AIM, and not recognizing her screen name, I figured it was one of these local morons who like to get online and try to mess with me, I almost didnt answer her, but something told me I should. Good choice.

 

I'm quite restless today, yet quite tired, if that's possable. I'd go out tonight, but in the end that would be a waste of money as I'm not in the mood to go out. I guess I'll sit at home, wishing I had went out. Maybe there will be something good on TV, although I doubt it. FArscape comes on, but not untill 3 AM. Sounds too late dosent it? Well, it would be too late for those who are actually able to sleep. There is no doubt I'll be up for Voyager at 2 AM, then Farscpe at 3 - 5 AM. I grow tired of falling asleep to the morning songs of the birds outside my window, but it's been that way for so long that I don't know anything else.

 

Do you hear that? I do, I think it's my stomatch growling. Too bad there isnt much to eat here today. I need to get to the store. I need to actually get out of the house. I need to get up. I need to do alot of things.

 

Oh well, if I have anymore flow of thoughts I'll post them tonight, if not, then perhaps tomorrow.
