Occupy: State of Stupidity

Posted in Web Stuff on October 20th, 2011 by Ast

So, Occupy (insert location here) has been going on for some time now. The more I look the dumber it looks. The original goal was to stand up against banks and corporations which have hired lobbyists and paid into political coffers in order to sway the direction of governmental decision. I can get behind something like that. It’s a stance against corruption. As they say, power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.

That out of the way, the people involved in Occupy here, there and everywhere else are increasingly stupid. Are you involved and offended? Then you’re probably one of the stupid ones. Read more »

Piercing, Week 1 – Complete

Posted in General Blogging on April 7th, 2011 by Ast

A week ago I decided to do something I’ve never done before. I got my first piercing. Most people go and get an eyebrow or an ear piercing as their first one. More often than not, it goes ears first, then something else. I went for the big show: my septum.

I would like to say, for the record, the initial piercing wasn’t so much painful as it was surprising. The final pop when the needle made it all the way through my septum was unexpected. The follow-through with the jewelry wasn’t particularly painful either. It was almost a single swift motion.

It got complicated and PAINFUL after that. See, I have a wide septum and it’s slightly deviated, so the piercer ran into a few difficulties with the standard jewelry. See, a septum retainer is kind of staple-shaped. Mine is a 16 gauge. Since my septum is wide and slightly deviated, the retainer didn’t sit right and probably would have caused problems in healing.

Back and Doubly Badass!

Posted in General Blogging on February 3rd, 2011 by Ast

That’s a bald-faced fucking lie. I’m not badass, but I am back. You’ll note, the last post happened sometime last September. That’s quite a little while in the blogosphere. Did I just ACTUALLY say blogosphere? Anyway, I’m practically a relic in online terms and most everyone has probably forgotten me already. I’m strangely okay with that.

Why did I fall off the edge of the world? If you are close to me, you already know the answer. If you aren’t then you’ll probably never know. Suffice to say, I’ve hit the new year with a whole new bag o’ shit to sling and spike right through the stone I call a heart. I’m taking this year as an opportunity to change direction and do whatever the hell I feel like doing. I’ll probably still post my fun little ranty blogs, but times, they are a-changin’.

With that said, I leave you with a video. Enjoy!
