[•] It looks like I’ll be moving soon to my mother-in-law’s. Honestly, I’m not to happy about that. I haven’t been getting along with her for a while. It’s not that she is a bad person, but I just don’t agree with 99.9% of what she believes and 50% of what she does. I just don’t like that part of her. I really think she hurts Azazel more then she helps her, but she doesn’t want to believe that because that’s her mom. So I have to respect my wife’s wishes. Honestly, I’m not too happy about any of this, but our future child needs a place to live and my mom just doesn’t have the room, but my mother-in-law does. Ultimately what would make me happy is a place of our own, but that is off a bit (1 or 2 years). Everyone tells me I should bite the bullet and do what’s best for my child. But I ask you is the best exposing our child to what I worst abhor in a person? I don’t know… I just don’t know anymore.

Dec. 16, 1999: As the holidays approach instead of cheer it seems we run into gloom. For me, Christmas has always been a wonderful time. Sure there has been times when my Father wasn’t in a jolly mood and could be the Grinch on crack. But I never let that get me down. At times the presents may have not been the most expensive or incredible. However, it was truly the thought that counted. There are people who don’t find as much joy or happiness in this time of year as I do. Whether it’s family or personal problems, these people don’t find anything merry about Christmas. Maybe there isn’t much to be happy for; there is war, violence, and sickness. There are no reasons why such horrid things happen to such good people. I don’t think God personally chooses bad things to happen. I believe that God is rather hands off when it comes to our lives. It is our personal decisions and the decisions of others with some genetics thrown in that puts us where we are in the world. Sooner or later everything has a limit physically. That is why I hold to the spirit. The spirit of hope and love. As cheesy as it sounds, the only comfort I can offer to you my friends is this: somewhere out there is hope for a better tomorrow and an answer to the question that eludes us today. We must look forward and continue on in strength toward that day. This Christmas if anyone wants to give me a present I only want this: do a good deed for someone else without expectation of any return. That is what I want for Christmas… for everyone to try and make a better place for those who do not know the joy of this holiday season and in turn to enforce the power of the spirit of hope. Peace…

Dec. 2, 1999: Noteworthy News: WTO has turned into some kind of sixties style rally. Clinton has used the convention to attempt to stop child labor. Liberals are pissed. Ummm… I think the main problem is their wasn’t enough good programming this season on television to occupy time better wasted. A Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial has been proposed, which may be the only way black man in Washington next in line to a president, LOL. If DF.com has got you all ready to post your music to the net as the next big thing and a way into instant stardom, you may want to read this first 🙂 New Zealand has elected a new government… did I mention that one of the members of Parliament is transgendered… boy does that hit home. Yesterday was World AIDS Day (their is nothing funny about that). Want to feel stupid… click here. Guess what, another rap artist is in trouble... I believe it was Tupac Shukar who said, “You can’t put money in someone’s hands and expect them to act like they aren’t from a ghetto when the gutter is all they ever knew.” Brittney Spears is now legal for those pedophiles out there who are interested… I guess it’s back to obsessing about the Olsen twins for you guys. Another lovely rant essay at Suck.com. Not So Noteworthy DF News: God, say you’ll revamp and they e-mail. Okay, I get the picture, sheesh! Check out the mystery post for Dec. 1st on Marlin’s Place. I believe it is a response to my Nov. 30th post. If what you are implying Sam is that I pointed fingers… I haven’t said who it is yet. And if your wondering if I’m going to seek police action at this point with no proof of guilt (to the best of your knowledge)… all I want to know is who is guilty? What are you trying to say? Are you admitting unlawful carnal knowledge (knowing it before it be known to the public in other words)? Or are you trying to be some sort of ass kissing escape goat hero with an alibi to someone? Who? What are you talking about? Um, to put it bluntly who are you trying to save? I know what you’re saying… that’ s not what that post meant… maybe what you’re really saying is that I’m trying to be vague and mysterious. That your some kind of dark avenger of evil that can vile and degrade you without proof. That’s mature? I quote now: Note to certain individuals, immature actions beget immature actions, however, alibi’s suck, so point your fingers elsewhere. Amazing how the most mature show their true colors so easily. What immature actions? What did I do to who? Are you saying that a certain event sparked this? Are you saying that Dorothy Sharpe is to blame? Are you admitting guilt? Your web page has been saved and noted… Here is the lesson: Knowledge is power definitively, but maturity is knowing how to use that power best.
