Vacation WIN

Back in 10 days.

It's also like that...

To look the CEO of a major corporation in the eye and have him lie to me felt no different than having anyone else lie to me. However, it's not anyone else funding my paycheck and doing work that aided and abetted that lie. What it did do, though, is to cement in my mind the feeling that I was in a POW labor camp, which will be grand fodder for when I write the sitcom.

Yes, POW labor camp, I said it. Imagine: WW2 and we've been captured by the Nazis or Japs. Me and my buddies have to build widgets for massa - thereby working against our own interests - meanwhile trying to get along, find small comforts in food and trinkets, avoid the gaze of our overseers, and basically avoid going crazy or getting killed. We're a tightknit bunch in spite of a traitor in our midst, and when the suckup is outed our unity strengthens. All we have to wait for is liberation.

And here it is. Despite that we're free and can go where we please, part of the shared struggle holds us back. There were good times.

But there will also BE good times. Only now it's outside the barbed wire.

Ex-FMD Apache Chief is a witch, of course:

Did I call this shit when the sale happened? OCD and The Faggot are such assholes. They knew that shit when they sold it.

Needless to say, I am disappoint.

Monday again already? Ugh. Gotta kickstart this good to get the week going. Melissa Riso can tell you more herself:

Melissa Riso is an exotic ethnic background of Guamanian and Italian. As a Northern California native, Melissa grew up with her Father and older Sister in Salinas, California and has spent several hot Summers in Guam where her mother lives.

[....]

Everyone always asks her what that huge tattoo on her tummy is all about. Well when she was a freshman in high school, she almost died in a very serious car accident on the highway. She got internal bleeding in her tummy and broke her back. So they had to cut her open to stop the bleeding inside. She had a ugly six inch scar from the surgery and tried to get plastic surgery to fix it. But the scar was too thick and not healing nice. So she designed her own tattoo to cover the ugly scar that she was insecure about all throughout high school. She would never get a tattoo that big, but there is a story behind everything…
