| Blog Subject: | Why I failed Political Science by C.Nic |
I have no idea what to think anymore when it comes to politics. Seriously. I'm ######6 through with it. I was so ######6 fed up with the GOP debates and how stupid everyone has become, that I failed my political science class, because participation became extremist stupidity. I just sat there, listening to there 2 sides, and nothing helps show the sides better than the debate on illegal immigration. Hipster dumbass in far back corner: Everyone deserves a chance to have the American dream. Dumbass who ran his own business for 30+ years, then left to finish college even though he was making well over $100K per year: But they're taking our jobs! OK, well... OK. There is a lot of university and evidence saying both of these boys are dumbasses, but the one thing that kinda cements it is their total lack of knowledge when it comes to $#%^ like NAFTA. And I'll just stop there. But then, the ONE THING they ALLLLLLLLLLL agreed on was that "Illegals crossin' the border was a problem." Except for one thing: Since the recession happened, barley anyone illegally crosses the damn border anymore. Its slowed to a ######6 trickle. The #1 source of illegal immigrants is students staying in the country on expired ######6 visa's or J-1's. Thats the ######6 source. And you are NOT going to kill students, because "They're the ######6 future", right? Now my professor, admittedly, was awesome. But, ###$, man! Your a professor! ######6 tell these people they're dead wrong and cut this $#%^ off like it was OBL's testicles! And don't feed me that "Its good to have a debate" #######4. Yeah, its great to have a debate, but at some point, someone has to point out that what they're arguing about is complete and utter #######4, and tell them "Your all idiots, heres the truth from a credible source doing this $#%^ for hundreds of years". I failed my class because I wanted to sit back and watch these idiots debate. And I now know that participation is a big part of the ######6 grade for this asshole, so fine, if I take the class again, I'll ######6 cover all the topics and start calling the people without facts dumbasses. Is that your ######6 answer? That I start a lively debate on who should knife me after ######6 class is over? I HATE stupid people. There is clearly a wrong way to do it, IE. our current congress, and there's a ######6 right way, IE. ######6 ######6. All the presidents named Roosevelt or Kennedy seemed like ######6 great leaders who got $#%^ done, and won the hearts of the people because even though what they did sometimes wasn't what they wanted, it eventually helped them out immensely. I do truly feel that the only way stupid people can ever know that the $#%^ they're doing is ######6 dumb is do the thing they want to do, and just wait. That way, when everything is all said and done, you can look at them, point out where they started, where they ended and point out all the $#%^ in-between, then scream at them and say "YOUR AN IDIOT!!!". And I've also decided to say "###$ you" to all conservative, Republican Christians who say the following: 1. The constitution established America as a Christian nation. 2. Obama is a terrible leader. 3. Gay people should go to an island and leave us alone/shouldn't be allowed to get married. 4. Fox News is my main news source. 5. Yeah, we have a #######5 congress, but its better than what we had 5 years ago. Heres my more detailed responses: 1. "Lighthouses are more helpful than churches"- Ben Franklin. "Religious bondage shackles and debilitates the mind and unfits it for every noble enterprise"- James Madison. "This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it"- John Adams. "All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit"-...

| Blog Subject: | Barlow, updates, conformation, tea, GoPros, breakups & squatting |
So, as I've mentioned before, TK likes squatting on all fours and snarling/growling at things. The problem is that no one relates to our trigger, as no one else seems to have crazy, animalistic alters that like to do that. The good news is that the "squat & growl" has replaced that whole "Murder Fantasy" thing he had going on for 10+ years. The bad news is that he's peeing all over the floor when he does it at night... yes, he actually strips down to nothing, squats down on all fours, and starts peeing on the floor. There are giant black spots all over from too much saturation; if the black spots on the floor were a to-scale MRI scan, that person would be dead. -NicS So, we found a work around around THAT... squatting on toilets... no, seriously, it ######6 works. And its healthier, too. Who ######6 knew? -C.Nic ANYWAYS, the other work around was that hot green tea, with no sugar or ANYTHING extra added but tea leaves helps SOOOOOO much with controlling urges, because the hotness helps un-dissociate whoever is in front, and waiting for it to cool allows us extra time to see both what time it really is AND review what we need to do. Plus, it tastes great, so thats a plus too. After figuring that out, C. FINALLY texted Kelsey, his ex-GF of some 4 months (Maybe more, maybe less, again, I don't really know/care anymore), and they have been trying to set up a day to meet up and just talk. I have no idea what his intentions are, but he's been heartbroken for months now, and its time for him to just move on, so whatever his plans are, wish him the best of luck (that means hope he doesn't do something stupid). As for me, personally, I went down to BSU (the big college in downtown Boise) and spent a good 1/2 hour with C. trying to find a good parking space. We finally parked in a parking garage, but no one knew how to get the stupid little ticket stub to come out, so C. just said "###$ it" (his words, not mine), and we walked towards the "Education" building, a 9-story tall building where some seminars/lectures are held, and where some facility have there offices. Barlow (M. Rose Barlow, DID expert who works for the university) was on the 6th floor. We knew it was her because we've read so much about her, including her dissertation from the University of Oregon... well, not all of it, just the parts we were concerned about. She did her ENTIRE dissertation (which is a research paper you have to hand in if you want that "Dr." title in front of your name) on DID, covering pretty much every single aspect of it. And to prove it was 100% her: her chart was blown up to 5x its digital size and hanging on a cork board outside her office door, which was also covered with about 12 sticky notes ranging from "I will be back in the office Jan. 20th" to "DID paper in to NIST" or whatever it said. Heres the chart: http://dynamic.uoregon.edu/~jjf/chicago08/barlowfreyd08.pdf And the best part was that, thanks to my GoPro I got for Christmas, I got the entire after-reaction in 720p. And it didn't start out pretty... we got a $15 dollar parking ticket because we didn't have a permit. After we called and were told we have 30 days to pay it off, we starting talking on the GoPro how shocked we were that she was actually a professor, and how lucky we were that she could help us out with our issues... if she actually cared. Were hoping she does, cause, man, were we shocked to learn she was actually there. Wish us all luck on our individual things; TK continuing on his road to being free of "blood addiction", C.Nic getting over heartbrokeness, and me getting us into therapy with a DID expert. -NicS |

You ever realize how hard it is to learn a new language? I've been trying to learn Spanish for my new accounting job, because about 5-7% of it involves dealing with Latinos who don't speak English, aside from "No speak English" bit I hear often. Well, I've been trying to learn via Rosetta Stone, which, when put together, is more expensive than major kidney surgery. No, seriously. Getting life-saving surgery costs $2,000 less than ALLLLLLLLLL the Rosetta Stone Spanish programs put together. I thought "Hey, maybe its just one disk", but there are different series/versions, and if I wanted to become fluent with them, it would cost something like $17K, while kidney surgery is something like $15K in LA (I'm going off memory from AARP stats I read a few months back, but STILL!) So basically, there is no fast and EFFECTIVE way to learn another language ASAP. I say effective so... well, effectively, because all the other systems to learn a language suck. I know this because I took Spanish classes AND Japanese lessons, and with the two combined, I have spent 4 years of my life failing to learn a language. Its all memorization, and most people these days can't memorize anything unless they really need to, and even THEN they forget one detail and have to start all over again, versus just printing the info out, sending it via email, writing it down or just simply using the cut and paste functions available on all computers now. My brothers friend, Phillip, took Spanish for 7 years (!), and to this day cannot speak a word of it. If you help him out, he can slowly stumble along a sentence asking where the bathroom train station is, but that's only if you can help him with the first words. He can't speak the language, much less understand it, because he, for 7 years straight, read out of multiple textbooks that this means this, with no memory aids to enforce it. Just text. And people get bored easily with text upon text upon text if there's no real motivation behind it. Thats why so many people fail to make taxes. (I think...) Thats why I love Rosetta Stone, and other programs like it. They teach you the basics with pictures AND words at the same time, and you have to match up the word with the picture. Rojo is either Yellow, Blue, Red or White. Which one is it? Click on red. ITS RED!!! AND NOW YOU KNOW IT TOO!!! Thats effective teaching. So why aren't we teaching everything EFFECTIVELY? I know some people learn some ways, and some by others, but our current teaching method doesn't work. It is, in both a monetary and political standpoint, an epic failure in America. And, as such, we probably won't have any decent multi-lingual Spanish or Chinese or Japanese or Scots students to give us effective translations that cross that race boundary, and thus, the information pipeline falls on Google Translate and BabbleFish. And we all know how effective that is. GOOGLE TRANSLATION OF THE FIRST TWO PARAGRAPHS: ¿Alguna vez se dan cuenta de lo difícil que es aprender un nuevo idioma? He estado tratando de aprender español para mi trabajo de contabilidad, ya que aproximadamente el 5-7% de la misma consiste en tratar con los latinos que no hablan Inglés, además de "no hablar Inglés" poco que oigo a menudo. NOW TRANSLATED BACK INTO ENGLISH: Did you ever realize how difficult it is to learn a new language? I've been trying to learn Spanish for my job in accounting, since approximately 5-7% of it is to deal with Latinos who speak English as well as "do not speak English" bit that I hear often. And guess what? I copied and pasted that translation. -NicS |

| Blog Subject: | My idea for a new universal church by C.Nic |
My major problem with religion is the fact that all the ######6 churches today are too extremist. Christians refuse to ever admit they're wrong about ANYTHING, and when the evidence is thrown in their ######6 faces, they just ignore it or give a half-assed apology. I ######6 hate that about Christians! Catholics?! LOOK AT THE POPE! Anti-Gay, Anti-Birth Control, won't do a damn thing about the whole "Boy rape" deal that should have been dealt with in the ######6 1960s; my logic is simply that if the Pope, the POPE, THE. POPE cannot figure out basic AIDS-prevention measures or how to stop Preists from sticking it into little boys, I can't do Catholicism. So I looked around at Islam. They are mostly a friendly people, and the root word of Islam (S-L-M) means "Whole, safe and intact". Still, the ######6 second I say "Islam", you think "9/11" or "Iraq War" or other #######4. And its a fair point, that $#%^ did happen, and we just recently caught the guy who masterminded it, 10 years later! Even if only 900,000 out of 1,000,000,000 are evil bombers, thats still a shit-load of ######6 people. So Christianity and Islam are out. How about something like Buddhism? Yeeeeeeeeeeah, no. They don't really have a God, they just kinda pray to eventually be enlightened. Nice goal, but remember that the whole "Free Tibet" thing is rooted in Buddhism, since the Dalai Lama was living there until he was kicked out by the Chinese. So theres that. But then theres the fact that the Dalai Lama was keeping all the good $#%^ to himself, and that it wasn't until he was kicked out that $#%^ we take for granted like running water and plumbing and such got installed. Again, if the leader acts like that behind the scenes, I'm good to go. Scientology? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! AHA AHA AHA HA HA HA HA AHA!! Ah...... AH AHA AHAHHAHAHAHAHA!!! HAAA!! AH, that was, was AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! HAAAAAA!!! Mormonism? Really, dude? Am I missing anything? They're all too extremist for me. And I don't like being far right or far left, I like being unbiased (I know that's a joke coming from me. Shut up). But I honestly don't think I could ever join a church where I knew the main focus was blowing up abortion clinics or other people simply because we hate them & their ideas. I want to start a new church (Yeah, great place to say this, a ######6 mental illness blog) where everyone is welcome to practice whatever they want, without the #######4 like Crazy Popes' or Crazy Pastors of the world guilting them into #######4 no one would ever support without that guilt. The basics of our new church are simple: You can believe what you want to believe, so long as you don't take it too far. Worship Sunday or Friday, whenever you want, the doors are unlocked 24/7, 365 (+1 for leap years). But if you become an extremist hack that threatens to blow anyone or anything out, your out and thrown in jail. Just don't plan to blow $#%^ up or kill anyone. Thats it. No extremism. You can practice your religion without all the rednecks and white trash yelling "EHY-MEN" every other sentence. Thats ######6 it. That ######6 simple. No hidden message, just don't ######6 kill other people and don't be a bigoted dick. If your here to piss on abortions, you can ###$ off. If you want to learn about Jesus in Islam, come on down! We'd love to teach you in a way that won't make you want to blow yourself up via suicide bomb in 2 months. NO HIDDEN #######4. HOW ######6 CLEAR MUST I MAKE IT. Believe in whatever, don't believe in whatever, just don't put ######6 extremism in here AT ALL. -C.Nic |

| Blog Subject: | DID Comedy by NicS and C.Nic |
I'm thinking about writing a stand up routine where we talk about our DID in joke form. We have designed a special script so that if one of us gets triggered, we either pick up where the last guy stopped or just have new material to mess with the audience. -NicS Now all we have to do is write the friggin' material. We have a great basis: Our ######6 story. We only remember the more notable stuff, and the rest is kind of a grey area we pick up every once in a while, right? Thats our connection to our audience. From there, we slowly open up the mental illness door to show that were not all ######6 crazy people. Then we get into more personal stuff, break for a second to explain why people think DID isn't a real mental illness, and then go back into the personal stuff, then end on recovery. Thats the basic outline, that's how we usually do it. Any good writer will tell newbies that you need a foundation, or what you want to write about and the emotion attached to it. Without these two things tied together, any story falls apart. You need a basic story, then an emotional attachment. That ######6 simple. For Nic, he likes the more happy & nice routine that has extremely offensive material peppered in to question his "Character" like "I put more locks and barriers up than Anne Frank", that sort of thing. I LOVE angry, dark humor. I ######6 love it. We know for a fact that there is a particular sound that helps get Zack in back should he be triggered. We found this out when he was playing Splinter Cell years ago, and triggered an alarm. The following sound blared rather loudly: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfnxRu62iPQ Nic was in front, and Zack said he didn't want to go in front. Should Zack be triggered during a performance, we have a 4-12 second time zone where we can play that sound, or else Zack starts panicking. We will be working on writing the actual bits soon, and may be uploading some of it on here, like we kinda did when the blog feature was introduced. Hopefully all goes well. Merry Christmas, and a pleasant new year... OK, Christmas is over. GO NEW YEAR, 2012 KIDS. WOO ######6 HOO. -C.Nic |
