List your current 6 favorite songs, and then pick six others to do the same.

1. "Dangerous Tonight" - Alice Cooper (because he wrote it for me)
2. "Never Tear Us Apart" - INXS (because Corpsman and I sing a lovely duet to it)
3. "Voodoo" - Godsmack (because it's a cool-assed song)
4. "Mummer's Dance" - Loreena McKennitt (spirit lifting no matter how down I am)
5. "No More Mr. Nice Guy" - Alice Cooper (for when the rest of the world needs to fuck off)
6. "Hell" - Squirrel Nut Zippers (because it's danceable)

There are hundreds of others that I love inordinately, but these are the ones in heavy rotation right now.

Hey guys, most women are evil. Look at what happened to Spisefisken over at the UF board. He found some poontang who promptly got knocked up. I'm not sure if this is the one he was asking on the board about several months ago whether or not having kids was a deal breaker. It's his own fault for not getting a vasectomy though. He and nin_man were always my best childfree allies over there. Spisefisken even turned me on to the Voluntary Human Extinction Movement. I guess he wasn't as committed to it as he thought he was. Really, the situation is a damned shame. He hasn't even been with that chick for long.

There are so many guys on that board who have had horrible experiences with their exes using the offspring against them. Look at what happened to pecosdave. He loves his kids, but his ex-wife is a full-blown bitch. One poor guy in the Midwest can't even see his kids because ex-wife dragged them to the West Coast. Too much of that shit is so unnecessary.

Conversely, there are an equal number of women on the board who have problems getting child support money from exes. Why on earth would anyone, knowing that children are both a weapon and suffer collateral damage from breakups, have kids in relationships that are so fresh as to be unable to gauge their longevity? Extricating yourself from a crappy relationship is always easier when there aren't any offspring involved. Is baby rabies that virulent an affliction? Ye flipping gods, I'm glad I never got bitten.

Well some of us are in long term relationships that just eventually go south and then we split. My ex may not be on time with the support but he is paying it monthly and we get along for the sake of the kids. Though it took our daughters death to get him to stop being an ass. Oddly enough we moved in the end to same city he was in just as he moved to be with his latest fiancee.

Anyways some people shouldn't breed... Some people choose not to breed. I think that dude from UF fits the shouldn't breed. He's proved himself sexually stupid more than once by his own comments on that board and sometimes he's been a real dink on topics regarding women in general. Originally I had liked him at one point but then several of his posts over time sunk my opinion of him and he's one of the few I can't stand there and used to just avoid. He hasn't been with that woman long. I wonder how long til they test positive for other things. Your right if he truely didn't want kids he should of been fixed or used a condom. I don't care if he doesn't like the feel. If she's not fixed and he's not fixed the condom and/or pill should be a must if you really don't want children. I wonder though if it should get a paternity test. ;) Well you never know...

Re the music neat choices. :) I'm sort of in a musically blah place. Normally I love my music but feel kind of flat to most the stuff I currently have at the moment. So I was going through old stacks of music trying to find something to interest me again. Right now I have no faves... *shrug*

That's what's so horrible, though! He would likely still be an ass if your daughter was alive because he wouldn't have had that tragedy to make him think about his behaviour. I know you love your kids, but they have both suffered greatly and your son will continue to have problems for the rest of his life. You said once that if you had it to do over again, you would not have had kids. Crap, YOU suffer. I don't know how you muster the strength to deal with your son's heavy load of needs on top of your own physical ailments. I'm healthy and I don't have the patience for anything like that.

You're right about Spisefisken's situation being a train wreck. I don't see anything good coming from it. I've been right too often about messes like that and I have a feeling I'll be right about this one. On the bright side, the little twit could miscarry and save them both a lifetime of misery. Maybe then he'll get a vasectomy in celebration of dodging a bullet.

Have you listened to any of the stuff that thenewt has been recommending lately? Some of that might shake you out of your musical doldrums.

[celticess.livejournal.com]

Yes I have been listening to it. Well some of it. I swear my mix of stuff has the neighbours looking at me like I'm an alien. O.o It could be my health stuff being wacky making me zombie like. FMS can do that though I suspect this isn't FMS. In July hopefully they can do something about it or at least label it better so something new can be tried.

Well I'd not of had kids with him nor allowed myself to be pressured into it. He witheld information about family health history and things and he pushed me hard to have children. Had it say been Nick instead I doubt I'd of been pressured to have kids though he likes them. Also he'd of been upfront with health stuff. So I'd not be forced into something I'd make a choice and whatever choice I made would of been informed. I still would of been hesitant to have children. Due to both my health and also for career and relationship reasons. But I might of considered having them. Either way though I knew better than to bring children into the world alone so I used birth control until over a year into the marriage. Though yes in that marriage had I known all the facts I'd like of chosen to not have children. But reality is I did have them and do love them. I take parenting seriously. They are little people lacking life experience and I have a responsibility to make sure my little guy doesn't turn into some nasty peice of whatever that is a blight upon society. So far I think I've done pretty good. He tends to complain about other kids he knows parents or other childrens behaviour/treatment of things or people. Most people tend to like him and find him well mannered, kind, et al. Though I'm trying to work on him not being as judgemental about the odd thing...

Baby's most times don't just happen. They need human intent or stupidity to happen. Meaning you want a kid or your being an idiot and not taking proper percautions because you think "just this once it will be ok" or stupidly think "oh this method is fail safe." Having kids aside there are tons of diseases out there so people active need to know to protect themselves. The Ufie in question knew risks he'd commented on them before when he possibly got himself in hot water. He's been stereotypically dumb blond on it. He obviously hasn't learned from his mistakes/unwise choices of past and I doubt he'll learn soon. That is why I suspect that who knows they might get a little unwanted "gift" in the future be it a child or disease. Imagine what sort of affect on a childs psyche to know it was an accident and unwanted. Well they created it and either they hopefully will take responsibility in trying to raise it well or they will give up to adoption to someone who can't have children and wants one or who would like to give a child a home. Too many unwanted, not properly cared for little ones in this world. They grow up and some don't turn out so nice or have terribly sad lives that end horrible ways. :( I was talking with my sons respite worker yesterday about that. Little kids we've both seen neglected. Some were sweet despite their parents and others were absolute little monsters as bad or worse than their parents.(in some cases egged on into badness by their parents)

People these days seem too quick to jump into marriage or kids. They tend to regret it or can't handle it. :(

Hmm...

I just figured out who adrieanadean is from these 2 comments, LOL (Hi "Celticess"!)

Maybe the new-dad-to-be's parents weren't so dumb after all (if you remmber, they didn't speak to his girlfriend when they all had dinner together). Perhaps they sensed something?

Re: Hmm...

[celticess.livejournal.com]

Hi there. I thought you might of known as it was my old alias on UF. But my website and most everything else I use Celticess for.

Re: Hmm...

[nolawitch.livejournal.com]

I'm mostly lurking over there these days. Didn't she also very early in their association state that she wanted to have kids? I sort of remember delurking (or maybe it was before that stupid cunt Stepfordtwit posted her screed) and telling him that his being childfree and her wanting kids was a deal breaker and he should run away very quickly.

Re: Hmm...

[celticess.livejournal.com]

Yea I think I remember that too. He saying it was great because she also didn't want kids.

My picks..

[ex-theginge.livejournal.com]

• The Weakerthans - Letter Of Resignation The Weakerthans are the smartest Canadian band going. Good folky rock with lyrics that can't be beat. And the woman who does guest vocals on the chorus of this song is great.


• The Dresden Dolls - Gravity I've been on a real Dresden Dolls kick lately, since I saw them live. They're proof the piano is criminally under-used in Rock music. Jerry Lee Lewis, eat your heart out.


• Kyuss - Whitewater The extended jam-like outro to this song is one of the best album closers ever.


• Nine Inch Nails - Only Let's dance like it's 1989. Synths are awesome and this song kicks my ass.


• Ani DiFranco - Knuckle Down Ani is my hero. And she's finally got that jazz experimentation stuff out of her system and has gone back to making folk-rock albums where the music is as good as her phenomenal lyrics.


• Wax Mannequin - R&R W.N.D. Rock and Roll will never die! This is Canadian Indie Rock at its finest.

Not BADGERS! OMG!!!!!1111

[nolawitch.livejournal.com]

Earworm alert! I hadn't thought about that goofy damned meme for WEEKS. Tell me your version isn't anywhere near as insidious as the Badger Song.

Re: Not BADGERS! OMG!!!!!1111

[voxwoman.livejournal.com]

No it's NOTHING like that other song (except for having the word "badger" in the title). I wrote the initial composition about 15 years ago, so it's a completely independent thought. (and there are no lyrics in it, either) In it's current incarnation, it's sort of Vaartina meets Abba meets Enya. At the disco.

I didn't bother to change the name because I thought since badgers have become popular in the Geek Mind, it would increase album sales ;)

(I, on the other hand, have always appreciated badgers - and am the proud owner of the Sacred Badger Plate [a 2" diameter plate with a family of badgers painted on it] and photos of Britain's famous "Badger Line" [busses, I believe] from my last trip across the pond in the 1980's. It's also part of the reason why I share my house with ferrets. Because they are related to badgers. Except they bite slightly less.)
