As Aleesha and I stood near the magazines in the always exciting bookstore we work for, probably talking shit about somebody else, a young fellow came along and latched himself onto Aleesha. "Hello ma'am. How are you? I was wondering if you could help me find a book." He seemed nice enough and particularly more polite than our normal customers. Seeing as he wanted help from Aleesha specifically I walked away to customer service. A minute or two later, Aleesha comes up to me and asks, no tells, me to look up the subject "British SAS." I do so and find nothing. The gentleman informs us that SAS stands for "Special Air Service" and I key that in only to find that we carry even less than nothing on "British Special Air Service." I apologize and as she walks pass his newly appeared lady friend, Aleesha compliments her on a pin she has tacked to her bag. "I like your pin." "Thanks." "What the fuck? Her pin had a swastika on." We laughed it off. A few minutes later, Mr. Nice Guy comes back and asks for "Mein Kampf." Sure "Mein Kampf", everybody and their mother has some sort of curiosity with "Mein Kampf." What's more titillating than a peek into the mind of a psychotic dictator? So off to Biography in search of the H's, just below Hugh Hefner and few letters away from Anne Frank's Diary. I grab the only copy and place it into his hands, perfect customer service. "If you couldn't tell I'm a fan," he matter-of-factly addressed me while tapping the pin bearing the insignia of the Schutzstaffel on his chest. Alarms sounded in my head, something similar to the sound of an oncoming air raid. A banner flew across my mind, "Why the fuck do I always get the crazies?" "Ah, I see." I took a step back just as he opens the book. "I think that is the edition I have," said Fräulein Verrückt. "I 'wanna' see where he talks shit about the Jews," said Herr Verrückt, "Jews are the scum of the world." Whether this was a direct quote or the customer speaking his mind, I didn't care to find out. "Well if you need any help I'll be at customer service." I took another step backwards. "Sieg Heil," he said. His nonchalance astounded me. "Sieg Heil," I retorted. I walked away a bit faster than I normally do.

What you said wasn’t what you wanted to say; but it has already been heard, and what has already been heard cannot be unheard. You can look at an old photograph and say, “Why did I ever think that those clothes looked good?” but it doesn’t change the fact that you thought it looked good. It doesn’t change the fact that you were once wrong. And once again you find yourself staring into a wrong, a much more harsh wrong that does not fade with time. Once again, however, you deter blame. It was an Emotionally Transmitted Disease we have been unable to rid ourselves of since we first set foot in its holy filth, so how were you expected to? Much stronger humans have tried. Even so you keep every memory close; recalling them with excruciating detail—every tear and chuckle, every smile and sorrow—because what are we if we are not our memories set in stone? Either way, you start to keep count and you wonder how many lies you have to tell yourself before you finally believe it. Blood and contradiction flow through those veins. “It’s no Big deal,” you scoff. In the end, they are holding hands, and you are holding hands, and we are holding our breath. It’s no mystery.

I grew bored at work and grabbed a small slip of paper and begin absentmindedly scribbling down the first thoughts that came to my head in rapid succession. I was intrigued and continued writing until I was no longer writing, completely unaware of how the events would transpire, how the ending would end. The following eerie tale resulted:

VICTOR once traveled to a land unknown to him. In this place of uncertainty, Victor met a creature which spoke all of the words of the world in one single breath. This creature was GOD, and this God was a God in all stretches of every definition of the word “God”. The miasma emitted by God was stifling and Victor’s eyes unfocused with the sharp clarity of the reality presented before him. Victor turned to leave this space; Victor turned his back to the one and only MEANING. Victor felt an unbearable pierce behind his left knee and screamed. Before him stood the entirety of the world and her people and her histories. Words were marked and Victor touched his fingertips to the source of pain, but felt no blood. Suddenly it was Christmas Eve 2043 and Victor lay sprawled across the wood floor from the blow of a right fist which connected with Victor’s left cheek. The man who owned the offending right fist was never given a name, and thus, did not have one to be called by. “Screw you,” said the man without a name, and walked away. VICTOR did not get back up and never would again.

The creature laughed, scornfully. "I," it said, "am frightened of nothing."
"Nothing?"
"Nothing," it said.
Charlie said, "Are you extremely terrified of nothing?"
"Absolutely terrified of it," admitted the Dragon.
"You know," said Charlie. "I have nothing in my pockets. Would you like to see it?"
"No," said the Dragon, uncomfortably, "I most definitely would not."
There was a flapping of wings like sails, and Charlie was alone on the beach. "That," he said, "was much too easy."
I just finishing reading "Anansi Boys" by Neil Gaiman and what a wondrous book it was. Read it. That is my only command.

So I recently got in trouble, of course, and so Jack, my step-father, took it upon himself to lecture me. Some where in his long-winded bullshit, he revealed his reason into rush purchasing this house. I believe it was an attempt to prove that he does whatever he can for this "family" (I almost typed "shit family" when I realized "this" and "shit" have the same letters). Apparently he bought this house because he did not feel comfortable with me living with my dad because the children typically stay with the mother. Really? I just thought the children typically stay with the parent most capable. But Jack felt that the children should be with a mother and a man they had barely met. And I wonder, who the hell is he to make this kind of decision for people he does not know and for a situation he does not even comprehend?! Jack claims that the children should stay with the mother especially since has new "marriage" and didn't want his family to say anything about the "unusual" situation. The only thing I find unusually is a man making a life altering decision for three people he barely knows. I do not understand this concept of family these people try to portray? How is "family" defined? My mother says that I will not always have my friends but family will always be there. See I am left with discrepancy. What exactly makes Jack "family"? Because my mother chose him out of the however many billion men there are on Earth makes him "family"? Does a vow made in Las Vegas make him "family"? And if family can reach beyond the blood boundary lines, then what makes my friends any less of a "family" than Jack? I chose my friends on my own accord. I enjoy their presence. I do not detest their existence. They do not take it upon themselves to make decisions that take a major affect upon other's lives and come with lame excuses such as not wanting his family to talk about him. If they are your "family" than you should not  fear any whispers. And this man is so sexist. "The children should be with their mother." "It's the woman's job to cooks." "I'm the man of the house." "Powerpuff Girls is for little girls." Hah surely you jest! The poor man is blinded by his chauvinism. I doubt he has ever even watched such a fine animation as "The Powerpuff Girls." But I digress back to seriousness, I hate these people. I hate them. Yes I do appreciate that I have a roof over my head and such commodities as the internet, but nevertheless I truly hate who these people are to the very core.
On a lighter note: New Fullmetal Alchemist update. Ended with a major cliffhanger and I can't wait for the next update (a month away D:) but the more they update the closer to the end it gets. Ah oh well all good things must come to an end.

There are two houses to consider in this situation: the house on Plum Park in Memorial Parkway and the house here on Breezy Bend in Pinoak. The house on Breezy Bend, house number 2, was bought shorty after my mother and Jack married in Las Vegas. Like their marriage, the buying of this house was rushed and not thought through. Now, over three years later, the house turns out to be too large and a financial strain. The original plan was to sell the house on Plum Park, house number 1, and movie into number 2. In order to sell number 1, it needs to be updated and renovated. This was hoped to be done by last summer. That plan was bust, so then they decided to fix up the old house, number 1, and sell this house, number 2. But before moving into number 1 we still had to renovate it which was hoped to be done by spring break. That plan was bust. So now my mother wants to build a house, house number 3, in Silver Ranch, a new neighbor hood further away and deeper into the middle of nowhere but still in Katy. The realtors, however will not begin building house number 3 until house number 2 is sold. Now my genious pair of gaurdians are in a rush to finish renovating house number 1 so that we can sell number 2 then movie into number 1 while number 3 is being built. After number 3 is built, we will move into that house and finally sell 1. My plan is to get out of this damn town as fast as possible (Highly unlikely). I would make a visual aid for comic relief, but the situation is so confusing I wouldn't even know how to do it.

New Air Gear update.
It was kind of meh. Not really too exciting, but oh well. Some how I've gotten behind sixty chapters on D.Gray-Man? That's kind of annoying. I guess I'll start Soul Eater another day.
Everyone is leaving Books-A-Million. So far it's been decided that if Bobby, the general manager, quits then Amanda is going to quit, and then basically everyone else including myself will quit. Exa And Jennifer, two other managerial peoples, are already quitting for sure, I think. Basically the store will be purged of everyone cool. It has something to do with the new lame ass rules coming from corporate or I think something about the new District Manager. I'm not sure. But I'm pretty annoyed by these rules. There are so many fucking rules it's really annoying. For example, the old stated that if you work a six hour shift or more than you had to take a thirty minute break and if you worked four hours you could take a ten-fifteen minute. But now if you work just a four hour shift then you have to take a thirty minute break meaning your shift will actually only be three and a half hours, which is really annoying. Also I requested off this Saturday but the scheduled me, just like they tried to do for prom. Luckily someone is covering for me, I just don't like owing somebody one especially since I requested this Saturday off back in April. Sigh.
Also it's really annoying that everyone complains about the small amount of hours, yet they keep interviewing and hiring people. There is this one really super old guy that works there, Kenneth, and Matt G. calls him Benjamin Button, and he is sooooo fucking slow. He moves at a turtle's pace and is can hear about as well as a tree. Then they hired someone else. Ugh.
I think I might get a job at Kumon alike the Calds suggested and then quit Books-A-Million and then maybe work at the new Forever XXI. Do they hire males? I don't think I've seen any there. Oh well.

If any of you remember my idea for Ghost Town's emblem it was a reaper/ghost saying Ghost Town. I'm not really sure how I want the reaper/ghost to look but this is how I think the speech bubble should look. Two reasons. One: It was my idea and I am God. Two: Not only does it look nice, but if you notice it says "hos" right in the middle so yeah. But um someone else should draw the reaper/ghost. I prefer cool, but it can also be cute

I wish I still had my Saizo userpic for this post (Saizo being a big from Peacemaker and Peacemaker Kurogane). I seriously can not understand this Swine flu bullshit. It's a fucking flu. The difference? You may experience vomitting and/or dirreah. How many have died from it? ONE! One in the United States. Seriously. SERIOUSLY?! Now I know, death is not something to be triffled with and I grieve the one that died, but this is not a pandemic. I mean I'm glad I don't have to hear bullshit about Ms. California being the next Sarah Palin, but this is just too much.

Dear Media,
Can I get some real news please?
 Love,
Victor <3
P.S. Thanks in advance.

I know how much you care.
I got some new userpics and I kind of wish I could more than fifteen
But not enough people read this nor do I update enough to care.

Also Air Gear has become my favorite manga. The art is consistently good. The story is clean and yet grows at a tremendous rate. It is so believable that I have created an Air Treck team.

Okay so let me get this Ms. California thing straight. Perez Hilton asks her if she thinks gay marriage should be legalized. She gives a "No" answer and people who support equality get angry. Then people who agree with her answer get angry at the people who support equality because they are not allowing her to utilize her freedom of speech. And this makes sense? Wouldn't the people who are getting angry at the people who support equality for their dissent be disallowing their freedom of speech by their logic? Wouldn't that just be hypocrisy? Seriously, I do not understand people. Now, people are allowed to agree or disagree with whatever comment one of the Ms. USA candidates, who graciously emulates some of our populations beaming intelligence, but do not accuse others of denying constitution rights when you are doing it as well.
I love being illogical! I love hypocrisy!
Makes me oh so hard.
