So, yeah, sorry for blowing my 'blogging load all over your computer screen today. Lucky for you that even though I'm quick to disappoint, I'm also quick to re-load. As such, I might be able to squeeze out a couple more posts tonight.

The reason for the return to posting rates of yore (namely, a couple of months ago) is because I'm still in the ramp-up phase at work, and there's next to no real work for me to do at the moment. Basically, I'm waiting for some other guys to get some shit done and then hand it off to me. Until then, things are slow.

In theory, things should get busy at some point. For now, though, I'm just going to enjoy wasting time and getting paid for it.
An interesting case currently being argued in the Supreme Court.
You know, with as fucking fat as kids are these days, I suppose we might as well just start them down that road early. Maybe the doctors oughta check one more time to make sure that the baby isn't actually a conjoined set.
Gift from god? Not to the baby, it isn't. Just wait until he grows up with that huge birthmark on his face, being relentlessly teased by other kids, and then ask him how much he likes his "miracle." Better yet, ask Gorbachev - he can tell 'ya.

Yet another example as to how stupid religious people can take some random occurrence and twist it into something it's not. "Roughly forms," indeed. To me, it looks like that birthmark roughly forms the head of Yoshi from Super Mario World, but you don't see me calling it a "gift from Nintendo."
What the fuck would we ever do without the brilliance of The Onion? Well, we wouldn't have anything to do when we're bored at work on Tuesday afternoon, that's for sure.
What was I saying about how we have work to do when it comes to our attitudes on homosexuality?

Okay, yeah, there may be just some sort of misunderstanding, and we're not getting the full story, but still.
Like usual, we're not out of the woods yet.

Yeah, the economy does seem to be picking up steam. Two questions remain: is this upturn sustainable, and where the fuck are the jobs? We've seen points where things started looking up before, and then they flattened out or went south again. This does seem to be as good as it has gotten in quite awhile, though, so we'll just have to wait and see.
Wow, I don't even have to try and come up with excuses to talk about stroke books today - it's all being done for me.

The Abercrombie catalog is offensive, but not for the reasons these uptight cunt advocacy groups are pushing. ETP put it best when we looked at last year's catalog:

"Um, yeah, this says XXX on the cover, but I don't see any hardcore penetration shots."

The catalog is far from "racy," unless if "racy" now means "weak-ass shit that failed to give me a hardon." Also, the notion that they're trying to "sell sexual ideology to teens" is nonsense. I mean, TEENS, for Christ's sake. I don't know where "ideology" comes into play, but you don't need to sell anything sex-related to teens, simply because they're fucking teens. Those raging hormones are what being a teen is all about.

Honestly, does anyone see shit like this and think to themselves "Gee, I didn't know sexual promiscuity was so well accepted, I'm gonna have to give that a shot" despite the fact that there's no fucking involved in this piece of shit catalog? Oh, wait, there are articles on sex. Oh no! We can't have that!

Of course, we all know where I stand on the whole "teenage-looking" thing, and it just goes to show you that I'm not alone. Exactly where is the harm in looking at some underage poon? Oh, wait, except for the fact that THEY'RE NOT EVEN FUCKING UNDERAGE.

This whole "we're fighting such-and-such to protect the children" is a bullshit tactic designed to garner false sympathy for their cause. It's not about protecting children, it's about trying to push their Puritanical morals on the rest of us. Listen bitch, just because you only fuck missionary-style just to have kids doesn't mean that we all want to be as lame as you are, so fuck off already.

I'm more concerned about shit like Abercrombie's thongs for little girls. That's too creepy and fucked up even for me. Yeah, the thongs, and the blatant misrepresentation of something as porn that isn't. I say we burn Abercrombie down with that Maryam Kubasek broad trapped inside while she's getting fucked. Hard. In a loving manner, of course. Clearly, women like her could use a good stiff deep dicking every now and then. If nothing else, it might shut her up for awhile, and maybe she'll kill herself when she realizes what a dirty, dirty whore she really is.
Apparently, someone out there submitted my site to Blorgy. It's nice to see that someone else actually feels my site is worth promoting, especially since I don't really think it's worth promoting (ignoring the one time I did experiment with text ads).

That is, unless of course, if this person is just trying to get me in trouble. The post that ended up being linked off their page is the one where I was talking about how badly it would suck if Bush were assassinated, and the teaser line for the link merely says "Assasinate Bush." If that's what you were up to, then I just wanted to let you know that I'll be sure and keep you in mind when the feds come for me.

But if you weren't trying to get me in trouble, then thanks!
Programs like this, which amount to nothing more than racial profiling, leave me kind of conflicted.

There's, of course, the big side of me that hates to see shit like this going down. Singling out a group of people and making them go through shit that others don't have to go through just because of where their ancestry lies. If nothing else, it seems to run over due process, with the implication of "maybe guilty until proven innocent."

Then there's the other side of me which says that the first side is being too fucking PC, and that we need to be practical about things like this. The people who are trying to kill us are predominately Middle Eastern or Muslim. Of course, that's not to say that all the people who want to kill us are of Middle Eastern or Muslim descent, just the ones who (so far) have been willing to fly planes into fucking buildings.

Even if it is practical, it's rife with potential for abuse and the ruining of lives that don't deserve to be ruined. This potential for abuse, along with the inherent damage to civil rights, is what pisses me off most about things like mandatory registration, the PATRIOT Act, and whatnot. Yes, it'd be nice if law enforcement would always play nice and not exploit things like this for non-terrorist activities, but you know that they have and will continue to do so.

One thing I would like to see is less harassment of people who have no known links to anything terrorist related, and more harassment of those who do have some known links. As September 11th helped demonstrate, we are clearly not doing a good enough job of keeping an eye on the people who we should be keeping an eye on.

Yes, new bad guys are going to show up from time to time and slip though the cracks. That's just one of the tough issues with having a system like we do. This is kind of along the lines of the tenet of "it's better to let 100 guilty men go free than to imprison one innocent man." We have to make tradeoffs like that in order to continue having the society and values that we have. It's just hard to argue that against 3,000 dead, but the argument has to be made.
While we're in the middle of perpetuating racial and ethnic stereotypes, here's something that's been bugging me as of late.

I have this issue when I'm trolling around the net for Asian girls or reading (hah! reading!) a magazine. I will see one of the models and think "Hey, she's pretty hot." Then, later in the issue or on another site, I'll see a girl and think the same thing. Then, when I actually do some reading and see her name, I realize it's the same fucking girl from before.

The obvious joke here is the stereotype that "all Asians look alike." That's not quite the racist asshole statement I'm trying to make. Actually, I'm not trying to make any kind of statement, this is more of a "what the fuck is up with that?" general kind of musing.

I really am not trying to be a prick here, because I honestly I just cannot nail down facial recognition of Asians women (and by extension, men, but it's not like I'm out looking for Japanese boys in school uniforms). It's not because they all look alike, but apparently because they don't look like anything. If they did, I would surely be able to tell one from herself. I mean, I can fucking recognize the goddamn kanji for some of their names now, but I still can't pick them out of a crowd. Okay, there are literally a few exceptions where I can see a girl and maybe find myself 90% sure that I know who she is, but that's about it.

What the fuck is up with that? Why can't I get this facial recognition thing down with east Asian women? I don't have this problem with any other groups, either. I suspect part of the problem is because I have been painfully underexposed to Asian culture and people at this point of living in this society. You do have a decent representation of lots of cultures out there, but Asian doesn't seem to be one of them. Not in my experiences, at least, and that probably just goes to show you that I do not do a very good job of wandering outside of this lame white bubble I'm in. Which is sad coming from someone who is only half white. Maybe another part of the issue for me is that I'm still lousy with Asian names, and as such, even if I see a face, I don't have a name to associate with it. No, that can't quite be it, since sometimes I'll be looking at a set of pictures, and I know two different shots are of the same model, but I'm still like "Wait, are these two the same girl?"

I don't know; maybe they do all just look alike.

I've never really thought about what goes into recognizing faces, and how it is that I can see someone I've seen before and know who they are, or, alternatively, see someone again who I know but not realize it's them. Anyone know what the mechanics of this shit are?
Oh, come on, Russia. Just how much pollution do you need to be producing just to make vodka, anyway?

The environment is so fucked. It's fucked because no one will care until either A) it starts effecting them financially or B) it's too late. Since no one is going to step up and suggest, nonetheless enact, serious monetary penalties for environmental harm, we're going to end up at B. Of course, since B most likely won't happen in our lifetime, people care even less.
Did anyone hear the story about the woman who was trampled at a Wal-Mart this past Friday? Yeah, she was going for a pile of $30 DVD players, but there was such a mad rush that this woman got knocked down and took a blow to the head. She ended up hospitalized after the blow lead to her having seizures.

I was reading a quick blurb about this in the paper, and of course they had a comment that Wal-Mart was very sorry about the whole affair. Also, Wal-Mart offered to put a DVD player on hold for her.

It's not like we don't know Wal-Mart is a big asshole fuckhead corporation who would rollback prices on human slaves for the holidays if indeed they could get away with selling slaves. Still, for a company that had record-breaking sales this past weekend to offer to place on hold instead of just fucking giving a bloody $30 DVD player to someone who had seizures as a result of visiting their store is just a stunningly new low.

I know that I feel like having seizures every goddamn time I shop at Wal-Mart, but it hasn't yet happened. If I did have a seizure, the least those cocksuckers could do is give me a break on something that costs a mere $30.
Continuing with the "stuff to masturbate to" theme we have going today (especially the Krugman article), I offer up this.

This at first looks like a stupid idea, but then gets kinda interesting when you think how neat it is to see a chick fight, and they up the ante by getting Lawrence Taylor involved, but then it goes back to stupid when you realize "Why don't they just have a regular ol' chick fight?," and then finally ends up completely stupid when you see that it costs $30. Thanks anyway, Dodge, but I can find stroke material elsewhere.

I do have to give Dodge some credit for the two guys in the bathroom commercial. It's just sad that something like that is considered somewhat "controversial." Once again, though we are so bloody uptight about anything sexual or remotely "dirty." If you want something controversial and dirty, I can show it to you, assholes.

We're afraid of anything sex related. Except for Viagra. For some reason, this one is acceptable now. This is a pill used by, amongst others, old men who can't get their dicks to work. We get edgy with dick/car commercials, but pills to enable geriatric wood is A-OK. It's odd that the Viagra thing irritates me, since I'm all for us being more open about sex, even if it may or may not involve old people. I think it's just the fact that we are usually so tight-lipped (I think there's a pun in there, and it was intentional) about anything sex-related that when I do see us being comfortable, I'm so taken back that it kinda scares me.

Of course, then there are areas where we look like we're accepting something, but really aren't. A good example of this is the "gay craze" that's sweeping pop culture. Will and Grace, Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, etc. All this crap that is designed to look like mainstream acceptance of gays when it really isn't. I promise you, the second any of those Queer Eye fans see two men making out, they're gonna be screaming "Ewwwww! Gross!"

This isn't to say that we haven't come a long way in terms of not being total homophobe pussies. I just hate seeing this forced and contrived shit that is packaged as something that it isn't.

As I said, we're making progress. The Supreme Court striking down sodomy laws. The Massachusetts court decision paving the way for gay marriage. Things like this are real progress, and will lead to actual acceptance of homosexuality.

Well, okay. Considering how fucking weak and lame Americans are (as evidenced by the large numbers who are against gay marriage for no good fucking reason), I don't know if we'll ever really have true acceptance. But if we can at least afford these people the same rights and privileges as the rest of us while not criminalizing what they do in their bedrooms that harms no one else, then it'll be something.
There's been some decent coverage of this topic over on Slashdot, but as Krugman points out, there hasn't been much discussion in the mainstream media (which is no surprise given that it's, well, the mainstream media).
Okay, so I just realized something that may explain the lack of school uniform stuff out there. I could be wrong, but I think that in terms of movies, it would be illegal to even imply that the character (is "character" the right word to use when discussing pornography, because it sounds wrong) is underage if there's any fucking involved. It doesn't matter whether or not the actual actress (again, sounds wrong) is over 18 (which of course, she should be, otherwise those people actually are going to jail). Context and implication are what's important.

Believe it or not, though, I don't watch a ton of videos. On occasion, yeah, but as I pointed out in that last post, a lot of it is pretty cookie cutter. I download plenty of pictures, though, even though those are pretty tame and cookie cutter as well. Still, that keeps me entertained, and I would imagine that once again I'm not alone. There doesn't even have to be nudity with the uniform thing to keep me happy. So, yeah, nevermind. None of this is really going to fly, since I have a feeling most people wanna see some tits and some fucking. I'll just stick with my pervert friends overseas.
Not surprisingly, the Sailor Schoolgirl 'blog is having issues yet again. Even though it hasn't gotten that many hits since I updated, I'm already over the bandwidth cap for the day on the image hosting servers. I suppose posting four new girls was not a great idea.

So, this leaves me with a few options:
  1. Just continue with what I'm doing, since traffic probably is going to die down back to nearly nothing anyway.
  2. Actually use that stupid Angelfire account, or start a new one, and actually build a site with decent thumbnail galleries and shit.
  3. Take advantage of the webspace Comcast gives me to build a site.
  4. Punt on the idea, because A) no one cares, B) it does nothing but kill time that I could put to use downloading more sailor schoolgirls for myself, and C) the site is just going to be used against me in my trial.

The problem with the middle two is that if I actually tried building a site, my OCD might finally kick in and I'd start spending waaaay to much time tweaking HTML and any other related shit. I'd kinda rather not do that because, even though I have the technical capability, any programming or programming-type activities just piss me off because they're so fucking lame.

I should probably just give up, but I was thinking that after like 8 years of leeching pr0n off of people online, maybe it was time to give something back. Like I said above, really, all it does is waste my time, and it doesn't exactly benefit me. Plus, it just takes away time from downloading other, new pr0n. But it's not like I don't have more web porn than I have time to jerk off to.

Another reason why I started the 'blog was because I had a thing for schoolgirl uniforms well before the whole Japanese fetish. And, as was pointed out by a female friend of mine, that seems to be near universal with guys. Despite the fondness so many guys have for school uniforms, you can't find fucking shit out there. Believe me, I've tried. How bloody hard is it to get a model into a plaid skirt, knee-highs, and a button up blouse? Pretty goddamn hard, apparently. Maybe there's some decent pay sites that have just what I've been looking for, but the only ones I've found have been sketchy at best. Plus, I try to avoid paying for shit whenever I can. As such, the Japanese stuff was perfect, because the Japanese are sick to the point where they don't fuck around when it comes to that genre. Finally, a group of people who are more fucked up than me.

So I'm like, yeah, I'm helping to promote something that I know there has to be a demand for but just doesn't seem as big as it could be here. I suppose there are reasons for that, though, mainly because we're so bloody uptight about sex here. In some ways I can understand, since school uniform implies schoolgirl, and we're not real comfortable with sexualizing, well, anything, but women under 40 in particular. Believe it or not, though, I don't need the uniform to be on an actual schoolgirl, I just like the bloody outfits. I suspect other guys are the same way. Still, I suppose there connotation of youth is always carried even if the uniform is on someone who's well beyond school age. I'm getting off track here - this is definitely another rant for another time.

Anyway, what's the end result of trying to popularize something that's already popular but not really "out there"? Say that a site I set up gets really popular. You know that if the sailor uniform thing caught on us Americans would just fuck it up and ruin the fetish for me. Because, let's face it, American porn is lame.

This isn't to say that I don't partake in watching or looking at American porn on, um, occasion. But it really is just the same lame, rehashed crap. Watch any porn movie, and it's always "guy fucks chick missionary, chick sucks guy's dick, guy fucks chick doggy style, guy drops unimpressively small load on chick's stomach." Oh, and stop with this blondes with big tits bullshit. Some of them are hot, most of them aren't. Period.

We can't do fetishes for shit, either. I've mentioned my foot fetish before, and this is frustrating to no end. I'll find sites that are foot and leg fetish-oriented, but so much of it seems to be things like women stepping on men's faces and crap like that. I don't want to see that. All you need to do is get some hot women running around barefoot while actually taking pictures that show off said bare feet to keep me happy. But oh no, they've got to do all this wacky shit because it's a fetish. Of course, I'm sure lots of guys go for the wacky, and I'm on my own here.

I'm probably also just not looking in the right places. But JFK, where the fuck do I need to be looking that I haven't hit with the hours upon hours I've wasted online?

That's right - we need to go overseas. Because as a friend pointed out, we make porn, but not really erotica. Nothing that's really interesting beyond the stroke factor. Europe, Asia, etc. seem to have some stuff that's at least different. Yeah, some shit (pun intended) that's too extreme for even me, but hey, I don't have to look at any of that if I don't want to. But maybe like usual, I'm just being a stupid fundamentalist, because after all, the main point is the stroke factor. I guess it'd just be nice to switch things up a bit.

Really, I'm not asking for much. More of the school uniform thing. Better, less creepy foot fetish stuff. Something other than women with bad tit jobs and shitty dye jobs. Oh yeah, and more women masturbating. As the old maxim goes, you just can't beat a chick playing with herself. Definitely need to see more of that.
