There are people on the net that have nothing better to do with their time
then be nasty to other people online. They post rude comments, spend hours
a day talking about sites they hate so much, that they well, spend hours a
day talking about them. (lame) They mock the owners and posters for their
opinions and their right to free speech. They expect everyone to fit into
their narrow-minded little world view or else they throw a temper tantrum.
To these people I say grow up.
Here's a bit of info people...the web is
a HUGE place. If you don't like what I say here, or who I am, or what I
do, or talk about, or what I look like, or the color of my hair, or
whatever asinine thing you dwell on, go somewhere else. It's
really, really easy. Honest. You just click the little "x" in
the corner of your browser and *poof* the offending, big, mean and nasty
site has disappeared.
I pay for this site. It's mine. That
means I can use it for whatever the hell I want to. Don't like it if I'm
bitching about something in my life? Oh fucking well. Go somewhere else.
Think I'm stupid for expressing my thoughts? Too fucking bad, don't read
them. Somewhere along the line, someone forgot this simple fact: Live
and let live Don't like me, cool, fine, whatever, I don't care.
This journal is NOT for you. It's for me. I'm not in it for popularity or
fame or anything stupid like that. I write it because I need to write and
express myself and get things out of my head sometimes. So read or don't,
it doesn't matter, but don't waste my time (or yours) bitching about it.

Terrible Storm
I'm going to try to make this brief because our power continues to brown out and flicker off momentarily. We're in the midst of a terrible thunderstorm. Squall after squall has been moving in off of the Gulf and pounding the Tampa Bay Area with as much as 1.5 feet of rain so far. This is on par with hurricane rainfall and nowhere near what we normally receive. Some areas will easily see 2 feet before it's done. A Bath and Body Works in St. Pete lost it's roof to utter collapse earlier this morning only after a half foot or so of water. Roads are flooded everywhere and there is constant lightning. The thunder is so loud, it's been shaking the entire building for hours now. It feels like what I imagine an earthquake to feel like. Rumbling the entire structure and within your chest. Our rain is normally a short burst thing. Ten or fifteen minutes followed by sunshine. Not so today. It'll easily make an all-time record rainfall for today's date. Love was stuck in the storm this morning, making his 15 minute drive in almost an hour. Looking out my window, the parking lot is full of water and some of the grassy areas between the buildings now have small ponds where there were none before. I can't describe the force of the thunder and lightning today. Since around 7:30am, it's just been relentless. It really feels like it's hurricane season, not February! Anyway, there's a lot of flooding and flood-related damage around here today. I'm sure tomorrow will bring news of sinkholes and damage. Poor Love still has to get home in all of this and they're saying it'll be another few hours at least before we even see a pause in the storm. So deluge in the Tampa Bay Area. Anyone near or coming to this area, wait until tomorrow if possible. If you have to go out, take extreme caution. They are strongly advising people not to travel unless absolutely necessary. Just stay home. Crazy, crazy storm.
