Homeless Diver

been in a combination of illness and pissing off people. mostly people I dont even know.

The neighbors are smoking again.

Not tobacco or weed, this time its wet brush. They pile this stuff up once a week and let it smoulder so the smoke gets in the trees for mosquitos. I guess someone forgot to tell them there arent any permathrin plants growing here so palm-smoke aint gonna cut it. But Damnit!!  Its all inside my house!

You would not believe the retarded crap I have to take these days, just when it was going so well. I’ve lived on Boracay for over a year and I’m still getting mistaken for my departed roommate thats been gone for a month now. They see me out and think I’m him.

I’m getting texts about it: “why doesnt he answer?, can you ask him?” well, close but reduce it to tagalish text-speak. Come on people, we dont look THAT much alike. Arm tats and shaved head, thats all.

It’s 5am and I’m finally not hungover from 2 days ago. About damn time.

This happened as we were getting pulled over by the Manila traffic dudes for supposedly running a redlight. They were gonna shake the people down for a lot more but I guess it came down to 100 pesos when I stepped out of the truck. I was getting pissed and thats when I felt it. I thought it was just a muscle spaz and scratched at it later in the truck. Didnt know it was bleeding until I was going up the escalators. Luckily, I had my “white guy in the tropics sweat rag”.

Honestly, I’m beginning to think I took a .22 under the skin. There’s a knot that wont go away and its not under the puncture.

Doris Gwendolyn Tate (16 January 1924 – 10 July 1992) was the mother of Sharon Tate. Sharon was the preggers chic that they killed at the house. It was this wealthy murder (and the bloody writing on the wall) that made the Manson Family stand out.

Anyhoo…’Tex’ went to jail for this and managed to have 4 kids thru conjugal visits - which Mama Tate didnt like. She was richer than rich and had the federal laws changed banning such visits.

bitch.

I got it figured out now, but its gonna take some time. I simply rinse a little Sprite around a glass and set it somewhere.  These crazy non-directional ants seem to love it! I follow the massive loose trail back to a crevasse and spray…they die. I sprayed a little into a tiny crack between the wall and the kitchen cabinets and seem to have hit a massive nest! I swear 10 thousand ants fell out of that crack within 5 minutes. Its a mess but ill wait until later to clean it up when they’re done dying.

I’ll do my room later sometime when I go out, those fumes always mess me up.

Hot glue guns don’t use glue. It’s a polymer (plastic). So if you’re too lazy to go buy more 3-for-a-dollar plastic bowls, or just finally want to get some use out of the glue-gun thats been in the closet for the last five years…here’s your chance. It seals plastic, is non-conducting, and has a melting point many times hotter than boiling water. Enjoy.

Ever have one of those months where you tell yourself (and friends) “no more prostitutes”, and fail?

(this is the most blandest, under lubricated, thick walled, boring condom out there….obviously HR had something to do with its selection)

Intrepid souls braving the cold climes of Antarctica clearly find traditional ways of keeping warm.

McMurdo Station has taken delivery of 16,488 condoms. The shipment last month constitutes a year’s supply, ensuring the frisky can stay safe in the sack.

The station’s manager, Bill Henriksen, said he was initially surprised by the delivery but said there was “not really” anything unusual about McMurdo staff.

“During the summertime we’ve got a normal population of 1100 people and this is for the year round not for the 125 people we have here in the winter,” he said.

The last flight out of McMurdo before winter was on February 26. There will be no relief from winter’s darkness until the first sunrise of spring, on August 20.

“There are some people that tend to get a little bit bored but, for the most part, people who come down here know how to occupy their time,” Henriksen said.

The condoms would be freely available to staff avoiding any embarrassing purchases.

“Since everybody knows everyone, it becomes a little bit uncomfortable we’d prefer to just provide them and do it that way so that people don’t do without.”

Ok…I looked it up and averaged the staff population for McMurdo over the summer/winter fluxuations…and that comes to about 27 condoms per person, per year. shoot…if only a few people are getting nookie, I would be strutting tall as ever into the store, slap a few dollars down loudly and announce to anyone within earshot “If you don’t mind, I would sincerely like to purchase one of your fine prophylactics. Yes sir, I need a condom!”

Some people have told me they’re seeing McCain ads on these pages. From the people I asked (all you non-commenting punks) it doesnt happen for ppl outside the USA. When I get around to it, I’ll change the settings on Googles AdSense, at least I think I can opt out of political ads. Its not like anyone is gonna click on those.

Pictures module…I dont know why its happening but the album page shows thumbnails but clicking on them appears to create a blank page instead of enlarging the pic - there is a rectangle in the middle of that second page with a title of the pic and clicking that brings it up finally. I’m not sure why thats happening but I’ll try fixing that as well.

Myanmar has been making public statements about this cyclone relief-aid fiasco that paints them as just a pack of idiots with less intelligence than a child. Remember not long ago, Congo had ignorant people running around claiming sorcerers/witch doctors were extorting money from them or else have their penis shrunken….and the police were so stupid, they actually went out to arrest the witch doctors. Myanmar isnt that far yet, but they can see the finishline now.

They are accusing foreign media of faking disaster area camera footage and saying that the international media is colluding with “unscrupulous elements” to tarnish their image by claiming that people arent getting disaster aid. Their image? They already have one of the crappiest images in the world! This is them:

• They refuse 22 heavy US helicopters that can drop aid to almost everyone in only 3 days - for the disaster that is now over a month old.
• A comedian spent his own money delivering aid and was arrested when he came back and said the government wasn’t lifting a finger in that area.
• In the Irrawaddy delta, the government wouldn’t send aid but they sent troops to arrest a film crew making a tape of the disaster.
• Amnesty International has recorded several cases where people are only given aid if they enter into a type of forced labor by troops.
• Several US Navy ships with enough aid for almost the entire country have left Myanmar ports after being refused admittance for 3 solid weeks.
• 3 weeks after the cyclone, they finally agreed to let UN Food helos in - but only after they heard they were grounded in Bangkok.
• 4 Weeks after the fact, they finally let some C-130’s fly a few million pounds of food into the city.
• They have publicaly stated their fear that the US only wants to deliver aid in order to steal their oil assets. (they have oil?)

And they think WE are ruining their image?

right sidebar, scroll down.  See if it works for ya, slow to load, ect…I’m trying different settings but the connection up here is crappy this morning.

I’m not liking this headache-thing in the morning. Sober too.

Well, crap. I just burned breakfast too. I was soaking some rice in simmering cream-of-shroom soup and my dumbass turned it on high instead of low. Burnt rice anyone? Damn, I was hoping to eat a bit and go back to sleep for the headache. Looks like I’m gonna have to march down to the beach in this soon to be humid sunny day (because its raining now) and grab a bite to eat.

Canine customs training event, using real passenger bags instead of training bags, bag that had “a package of cannabis” is not found by the dogs. Someone just got some weed from the Tokyo cops!

Tue May 27, 11:07 AM ET

TOKYO (Reuters) - One of the travelers who arrived at Tokyo’s Narita airport over the weekend may have picked up an unusual souvenir from customs — a package of cannabis.

A customs official hid the package in a suitcase belonging to a passenger arriving from Hong Kong as a training exercise for sniffer dogs Sunday, but lost track of both drugs and suitcase during the practice session, a spokeswoman for Tokyo customs said.

Customs regulations specify that a training suitcase be used for such exercises, but the official said he had used passengers’ suitcases for similar purposes in the past, domestic media reported.

“The dogs have always been able to find it before,” NHK quoted him as saying. “I became overconfident that it would work.”

Anyone who finds the package should contact Tokyo customs as soon as possible, the spokeswoman said.
