What’s the point to the show ‘the view’? It just seems that it’s women bitching about everything.

$250 car

my first car was a 1982 chevy chevette that ran on diesel fuel. it got 52 mpg and $2 could last me a week. 2 weeks after i bought the car, the starter quit working in it so i had to push start the car by putting it into second gear and getting speed by pushing the damn thing. if a friend wanted a ride, they had to help me push it to get it up to speed. one day, a group of my friends rode with me into school and while we (or should i say ‘they’) were getting the vehicle up to speed, a girl broke her foot by the car running it over. i wasn’t aware that she hurt herself until days later.

that car got me everywhere.

because it ran on diesel, it sounded like chitty-chitty bang-bang and ran like it was powered by hamsters. the damn thing couldn’t get out of its own way, but i didn’t care. it didn’t bother me that one of the quarter-panels were maroon while the rest of the car was beige. the starter did bother me though, especially when i had to start the sucker when i didn’t have much of a running start (i loved hills) or when it was raining.

one day, while at work, i slammed my door shut and shattered my window. immediately thereafter, my door wouldn’t shut at all and i had to tie it shut by using a piece of rope.

on thanksgiving, i was going to visit my mom at her house with my best friend, a car rear-ended me doing 50 mph, effectively totaling my car. the bastard who hit me didn’t have a drivers license, registration, or immigration papers. to top it all off, he was drunk as hell. the impact of the collision was so great that my homemade subwoofer box broke the back seat, and i had the chevy insignia emboldened on my chest—never mind the whiplash i suffered. my radio also came COMPLETELY out of the chassis and landed on the back seat.

after the accident, i tried to open my door but was unable because the frame was bent but it effectively fixed my rope problem.

in the end, the insurance company gave me $800 for a car that originally cost $250.

there’s a certain level of acceptance to the rebelliousness that’s being projected in this country today, and the system is using it to its benefit. most young people don’t understand their environment and the seriousness of the events taking place around them, and there are not enough elders who know what’s happening who stop and talk to the young people who are getting caught up and victimized. we have images on television, video, and film talking to us more than we talk to each other. the problem is there’s too many children who want to be adults, and too many adults who want to be children.

let me get this straight—your religion preaches that two thousand years ago, a middle eastern virgin was impregnated by a ghost. and the spawn of this ethereal sperm grew up to walk on water and multiply bread loaves and heal the sick and raise the dead and cast out literal demons. and this love child wasn’t just any ordinary spud, it was god incarnate who willingly submitted to a bloody S&M crucifixion to pay for our sins, when it would have been much easier ( and less messy) if he’d merely made us sin-proof in the first place. and this miracle baby, son of a (cough) virgin, rose from the dead after three days and now gets very upset when heavy-metal musicians slander his name. and moses parted the red sea, noah had an ark, god rained frogs on egypt, and joshua made the sun stand still. and even though adam and eve only gave birth to two boys (one of whom killed the other), the human race somehow fruitfully multiplied while avoiding the sin of incest. and remote polynesian islanders will boil in molten lava eternally if they don’t embrace the gospel, even if they’ve never had a chance to hear the gospel. and the god who gave you a weenie will also zap you with a lightning bolt if thou darest toucheth the weenie which he didst create.

i remember during the mid-to-late 90’s, if you were a DJ at a goth club, you were forbidden from playing industrial music unless it was skinny puppy or KMFDM. when i was spinning at a club in ft. lauderdale, i remember clearing the dancefloor with the song “plasticity” by front line assembly. to this very day, i think that that song is the best they ever released and it still sounds current.

to this day, i still have issues spinning at clubs where there are alot of goths because they’re so goddamn picky.
