Wanted to see if one post had been shared as I only gave it to one person (with the hope/intent he pass it around)
He had done so.
Readership numbers on this blog are exactly where I want them to be. About 2, or 3 per post. Closer to 15 when I post a link in chat. 50 when I post it in chat, facebook, twitter, and ping my friends.
This makes me very happy. This is where I want this blog's readership to be. It's really just a pastebin for me, one that's better organized. Sort of like my IMGUR gallery, I can go back through it and see what I need to throw at somebody during an argument.

Why I want to be Admin
You may be asking
Why do you want to be Admin?
Well let me clarify.
You ask, Why do you want to be Administrator on the Server.
I don't.
That's just a side effect of what I do want, one I'd be happy to go without.
In fact, let me explain what I do want, exactly.
I want to help run the chat. This means Halfop or more, and for that to be automatic every time I log in.
I want to help run the forum. This means the power to move or delete spam threads.
I want to help run this whole community with feedback. This means access to the Admin chat room, and the Admin forum.
While being able to post in both the Admin chat room and Admin forum would be useful, it is not something I require. I can share my feedback with admins via PM.
I am not asking for a vote on any admin stuff.
I am not asking for powers on the server.
I do understand that putting time into helping run the server is part of being an admin. I understand what a Mentor does. I understand what a Reddit mod does. I'm willing to do all of these things, and do them well, if it gets me what I want.
What I really want is, in effect, to be the "social media guy" for the server. I'd be interested in helping run the Facebook page, as well as setting up a Steam group if we don't have one already, and maybe even a Twitter account if I can figure out what to use it for besides calling people cunts and farting on them. I think a monthly bloglike post on the facebook page "what is up with goonstation this month" would be helpful in keeping people attached to the community.
And lastly, what would really make my day, is since I wouldn't get a vote on admin matters, is for me to be chosen to be the neutral party if things get really dicey. Treating people fairly in a debate and saying nothing even when I want to, is one of the things I actually can do well. I could be like the Speaker of the GS Parliament.
And that would just be neat.

now taking bets
I'm going to say this back at BRJ, word for word, next time he says something that I think is stupid (this won't take long, there's a good chance it'll happen before I'm finished writing this)
When I do I will edit in that window over the current hellchat window on the right.
I'm now taking bets as to what you think will happen
1 - BRJ will ban me or threaten to do so for doing to him what he did to me
2 - BRJ will just kick me over and over and over because he can't control his anger
3 - BRJ will actually be able to take what he dishes out (lol)
edited to add
0.5 - I'll need to post an unban appeal to actually get back in the irc
1.5 - Kickban that is removed within 60 seconds
2.5 - Single kick, or, any number of kicks smaller than the number of text lines I've typed
3.5 - He won't even see it because he's a tabber

with apologies to colin baker
So, if you follow this blog, there's something wrong with you. I mean, come on, I've told you this is my personal blog, and that I use it as a pastebin, and its full of NSFW stuff. I don't even check readership numbers; but if I ever feel it's too high I'll post a legit pic of my dick.
anyway, if you follow this blog you may also know I've been getting into doctor who, and may have gleamed a few things. See, Colin Baker is my fav actor to ever play the Doctor.
The 6th doctor is not my fav doctor, he's a bit of a prick, but at least he's not as drearily boring as 5; but the character and actor are different people, and Colin Baker is my fav actor to ever play the Doctor.
Anyway
He made a tweet today
or rather
retweeted one
bout a guy named Bob
See Bob is 87
he's got a dog
friendly looking smaller dog. maybe a shih tzu?
Bob lives in a nursing home
The residents of the home like the dog
but, from what I gather, the rules do not allow dogs
so Bob has chosen to keep the dog
and so the home has decided to kick Bob out of his home
Now lets step back for a moment and get some context of me.
This is a pic of my pets.
It's actually a spiral. It starts with Buddy, my dog. Above him is Kwikie, my cat. Beside him is Scout, also my cat. And below her is Boo, also my cat.
Scout was the one out of all 4 that 'loved' me most. She was always there when I needed a soft cat to pet, and would come see me if I was sick or feeling down, and would rush to meet me in the morning when I came home from the night shift working security. Scout was great.
Scout got cancer.
My roommate and I kept scout home and gave her medicine and fed her by hand when needed and generally tried to keep her well.
Eventually she had enough. One early morning, about 5am, my roommate told me that it was time. I went over to scout who was lying on the floor, meowing, barely audible. Scout was leaving us.
Se stayed with her. petting her. telling her we were here, and that we loved her.
When she'd be silent for a moment I'd listen to her heart to see if she had left us, but she held on for quite a long time.
Then, she seized up at one moment and spasmed.
She was having a heart attack
Then
She stopped
Silence
I listened to her heart
there was no more heartbeat.
There are very few moments in my life that have impacted me more, emotionally, than that.
I lost my Scout.
My roommate had to leave the room. I think they had a cry.
Boo came by, and I grabbed him and brought him over to scout. he had a sniff. looked up at me and meowed. I told him I was sorry, and then he seemed a bit sad and walked away. He knew.
I know that cats can mourn, and I wanted him to know she had passed so he wouldn't spend eternity wondering where she was.
My roommate had given me a wicker basket. I put Scout into it. As I did some air came out of her lungs for a moment and it sounded like she meowed. That was hard. But I got her into the basket, and my roomie and I got dressed for the outdoors and went to the vets.
I gave the vet the basket. Told the vet that I was as certain as I could be that Scout had passed, but, that I was not a doctor, and that I wanted a doctor to confirm this. It was confirmed.
I've had pets
I know how close you can grow to pets.
This was in 2014. Prior to that the last time I had cried was in 2004. 2014 was the only time in the past decade I really cried.
now I want to switch context gears for a moment to speak about how I feel about "emotions"
in short, fuck em.
http://thenewteddy.blogspot.ca/2017/02/fuck-your-shit-emotions.html
http://thenewteddy.blogspot.ca/2016/11/shut-up.html
crying once a decade, maybe even once a year; that's fine. Crying is a big deal, if you are crying weekly, seek medical help,
The same is true for other extreme emotions. If you are bursting in anger more than, say, 2 or 3 times a year, you need help.
Where is this all going?
Simple.
What good does being homeless do to you and your dog?
Why would you want to make your dog homeless because of your emotions?
You serve nothing 'good' by doing this.
Give the dog to someone who can care for it better than you can.
So, with apologies to Colin Baker, I respectfully disagree.
