Hey, what's happening guys? Got some fresh news for everyone. I don't think I've ever actually discussed it on here, but my lifelong dream is to become a police officer and be a detective some day. Today, I took my very first step down the road to realizing that dream. I took the written test for entrance into the police academy.

It was a pretty simple thing, I'm fairly sure that I nailed it. All it was was a bunch of English comprehension, spelling and grammar exercises to make sure that the test-takers know how to speak and write reports on the job. Now that this is over I still need to take my physical exam. That's what I'm worried about. I'm not a very athletic person, but I'm not completely out of shape. I think I can do it if I set my mind to it. Nevertheless, the people taking these tests are bigger and stronger than me on average (even some of the girls!) so it's a bit scary. I feel kind of out of place.

I'd really appreciate if you guys out there reading this could pray for my success in the physical exam. My entrance into these tests comes on the heels of more big news. San Jose Police Department has a big sudden vacancy of police officers so they're doing a huge recruitment drive. If I get accepted to their academy, they will cover my education and pay me while I'm learning. If I get accepted to that academy, my lifelong dream will be that much closer to fruition.

Thanks in advance for the support of the people reading. Until next time!

Well, just an update on the situation, for those of you who cared to listen to my last post. Last time I mentioned that my favorite RPG website was basically being shut down in terms of playing the game (I still hate those idiot mods for deciding to do that and I'll still see them both in digital hell). But luckily, one of the site's more prominent members decided to step up and create her own little website for everyone to make their massive RPG exodus to. The data transfer should be seamless, she says, and all the RPs should be retained in their entirety. SO now, not only do I get to keep playing, I also get to stick it to those two dummies and never visit their site again.

Thank you to those few who continue to keep up on my journals even if I am a perpetual downer. I appreciate it and I appreciate you.

I couldn't believe it when I first saw it this afternoon, but apparently once again, one of the things that's RIGHT about the world has managed to fulfill its insatiable tendency to turn wrong! I just got word from the mods of my favorite online play-by-post RPG site that effective July 6th, they're removing, REMOVING, all of their play by post games from the website. So just when I am finally able to start playing a character I have been planning for MONTHS in a game that one of my best friends went to her grave worrying would never get off the ground, they just up and ERASE it!

The mods' stated intention with this is that their website was not intended to be a PbP game website in the first place and that the amount of games taking place is too much. But the amount of games taking place on that website right now is so amazing that up until now it has practically been THE place to go to play and discuss games in that RPG system. So let me get this straight, you're destroying the thing which has made your website popular and reducing it to a website where all you can do is TALK about the game? Oh I'm pretty sure I know what people are going to be discussing on July *7TH*!

They drop this bombshell on us less than a MONTH in advance and expect us to be able to pick up the pieces. If they can't appreciate how popular the game-playing on their website has made them, then I say they DESERVE what's coming their way. Yeah, I'm talking to you Busacdero and FCWesel of CortexSystemRPG.org! You DESERVE whatever is about to come your way!

I'll enjoy taking my talents somewhere else. See you both in digital hell.

Hey there everybody, it's little old me. I guess this is my first legitimate journal update since, like ever, and it sucks that it has to be on this note, but I don't have anyone else I feel I can go to. I can't tell my dad or my stepmom because they have enough problems and I certainly can't tell my stepsister because she already doesn't seem to like me very much and I don't want to wreck what little relationship I've managed to build up. Plus, she's young and I don't want to traumatize her.

I'm afraid to go to my fraternity brothers because I've just been elected to a position of leadership as the chapter's counselor and I don't want to be removed from office because they think I'm crazy. Or worse, I don't want to remain in office but not have people come to be because they think I'm too inept to handle my OWN problems. What's the problem? Well...

That's the problem, there's so many things that are wrong that I don't know where I can possibly start. (By the way, as I was trying to decide what to put in first, one of my friends called me saying she's thinking about killing herself even more than ever before). The thing at the forefront of my mind is definitely the fact that I am 21 and don't have a girlfriend while practically every single one of my friends does. And I hate that finding one has to be so difficult. Why, if I am interested in a girl, do I have to list for my friends every thing that I have in common or that I like about her? And if I can't name everything or can only remember the small stuff, I always have to feel like an idiot. If there wasn't a reason for me to like a girl, then I WOULDN'T, I just tend to have a bad memory when put under that kind of pressure.

And while we're on the subject, I have so many insecurities that it's hard enough to talk to girls. I'm slowly working to bite my tongue and get over my social awkwardness, but there's one insecurity in particular which will be with me until the day that I die. And I HATE IT SO MUCH it makes me wish that that day would be sooner rather than later. Twice a day, I take medicine for epileptic seizures. I have to make sure I don't miss taking it or I may pass out and start shaking and shivering like I'm demonically possessed. What sucks is not so much that I have to take the medicine, it's that I have to take it for the rest of my life and as long as I take it I'll never be able to achieve my dream of becoming a soldier. And I don't know, but it might also prevent me from my other dream of becoming a police detective.

Whatever the case, it makes me feel like a cursed, defective and weak wretch of a man. All I've ever wanted was to be somebody that people can look up to as a hero and an example, but because I was born weak I've already failed at my dream before I ever got a chance to prove myself. I've tried talking to people about this before, but all I've gotten is the standard cliche that "heroes come in all shapes and sizes" and there's other things I could do to be considered a hero. But will me being someone who donates large amounts of money and time to charity honestly gain me the same type of respect as tracking down evil men and bringing them to justice or willingly putting my life in harm's way because I love my friends and family so much that I would DIE for them?

Get serious, how many games or movies have been made that stand out in anyone's mind about that kind of person? Please! Donating anything but an exceptional amount of time and effort to such things is a thankless pursuit that at best earns you a pat on the head. Always has been! It seems like the only way to get someone to do the right thing nowadays is to offer an incentive to sweeten the deal, like putting their face on a magazine or something. I was once asked as a fraternity assignment to go to the most violent part of Oakland, California to speak to a class of high school students about the importance of going to college. You want to know what my incentive was for willingly, literally, putting my life on the line for someone else sake? Nothing! I volunteered! Not a single bit of recognition either, in fact some people thought I was an idiot for volunteering.

UGH! It is now past 2:00am and I'm not even done, but I need my rest. Well what do you think? Should I continue spilling my guts in an update or just shut up, straighten out and stop being such a whiner?

Guy: "Can we have sex now?"

Girl: "Can we do what?"

Guy: "You know, can I be your first, finally?"

Girl: "Um.....no."

Guy: "Why?"

Girl: "Because you have a girlfriend, who happens to be my friend......."

Guy: "So, if you don't tell, I won't tell."

Girl: "Besides that, I'm waiting for someone special. Someone that I want to be with for the rest of my life to be my first."

Guy: "I'm not special to you?"

Girl: "You're my friend. That's all."

Guy: looks forward and keeps driving.


5 minutes pass.......

Guy: starts to run his hand up the girl's thigh.

Girl: moves his hand, "Don't touch me.".

Guy: tries to kiss her.

Girl: screams, "Would you stop!"

Guy: continues trying.

Girl: moves to the back seat

Guy: parks on an abandoned street and gets in the backseat with the girl. Starts to kiss her.

Girl: pushes him off and scoots over, "Please, don't do this."

Guy: "Don't do what? I know you want it, I can see it in your eyes." Moves over to her and starts to unbutton her pants.

Girl: pushes him harder and says, "No, don't."

Guy: getting aggravated, punches her and tells her to stop "playing hard to get".

Girl: crying, continues to fight.

Guy: punches her harder, pulls her pants off, and holds her down.

Girl: screams as he penetrates her, "NO, please don't do this to me!"

Guy: puts his hand over her mouth.


An hour passes.........

Guy: pulls back and wipes himself off.

Girl: sits on the corner of the seat, crying.

Guy: looks at her and says, "You better not tell anybody about this. If you're really my friend, you won't tell anybody about this. You know I love you." He reaches out his hand to touch her cheek.

Girl: pulls back, "Just take me home, now."

Guy: says, "Alright." Gets in the front seat and drives her home.


2 months later.........

Girl: "Doctor, what's wrong with me? I haven't had my time of the month in 2 months."

Doctor: looks at her, "You haven't been having your "time" for a reason."

Girl: looks at him and says, "Why?" dreading the answer that she was sure to receive.

Doctor: "You are pregnant."

Girl: faints.


The story gets out that she is pregnant, and people start looking to the Guy. He claims that it isn't his because she was sleeping with every guy in the school(which was a lie). He goes to her and tells her, "I'm telling you, if you lie to people and say that I raped you, I'll kill you."


The Girl is completely devastated. First, he took her virginity and got her pregnant....then he lied about it. So completely depressed......the girl commits suicide by drug overdose.......


Girls, if this story touched you, put this in your journal as "No means no!"

Guys, if this story pisses you off, put in your journal as "I'll kill any idiot who does this to my girl, or any girl!"
--
This had better not be based on a real event, or I'll be even more morally outraged. Not only is this man among the most evil and lowest forms of life in the world, he is a coward for both raping her and taking advantage of her fragile emotional state to control her in both instances. If this was my girl, I wouldn't give the guy a second thought before starting to decide what should happen to him.

I'd punch him as hard as I could in the face, preferably with brass knuckles on. Then when he's staggering to get up, I'd smack him again with the butt of the shotgun I had handy. I'd shoot him in both his ankles and ask him if it hurt, yelling at him to look me in the eye and tell me it hurts. Then I'd say I didn't believe him and shoot him in both his knees and yell at him some more, telling him how weak he is and how bad it must feel to be on the receiving end for once. Then I'd stomp the wind out of him and just leave him the same way he left her. Destroyed, bleeding and humiliated.

As much as I fantasize, however, these guys get a similar treatment when they go to prison. Ten times more so if it's for raping a child, because so many of the inmates were abused as children. I'd be just as happy to put these guys away and let the prisoners do the rest, which is what I'm studying to do. When I join the police, it's rape crime investigations for me and a prison cell for my targets!
