Posted by: Haldur 05-Dec-2004, 10:50 PM

Hey everybody! We all have stress, here's a place to vent that, thanks to my late-night tryst with my PC and the need to let out my humorous side through life's little stressful moments! I'm currently stressed...maybe it's a mixture of the holiday season juxtaposed with finanical issues, I don't know! Feel free to let it all hang out...I sure as heck am going to! Woooo..... Anyways, here we go...here's my rant! Thanks to the virtue of modern technologies, the Pillsbury Doughboy has acquired a clone. Yes folks, you heard it right...the doughboy we all know and love from those spunky little pastry commercials has given into the whole cloning thing and asked a team of French geneticists to assist him in creating a complete clone. "He was born on December 1, 2004 and the officially named "Lil Pills"," says Pillsbury spokeswoman Janetta Hargrove. "Afterwards, he was rolled up into a huge ball, flour was applied, and he was shaped into a miniature, infant version of the Pillsbury Doughboy!" When questioned about the infamous cloning fiasco, Pillsbury Doughboy (or Pills) made one comment. "We can finally say we have a son of our own!" says Pills, speaking for wife, Betty Crocker. "Betty and I were married a couple of years ago but we just couldn't have kids. I'm dough and always busy with traveling...she's a cake baker; we did the next best thing!" The couple reside in the snowy Upper Peninsula of Michigan in the village of Bakersville. There is even talk of a reality TV show starring the family in the works.

I tend to use humor as a mode of venting my worries and troubles...I also use music, writing, and painting/drawing but you feel free to do whatever! Just keep it entertaining, funny, and above all as mischevious as possible!

Work, Work, Work, Running here and Running there, that's all I seem to do anymore and I am RETIRED. I just wonder how I managed to do everything I do when I was still working. Trying to remove all the Spybots from my Computer. After running the Program to remove them it tells me that it can't get one of them and that I need to restart and run again and after 9 time of doing the same thing it tells me to do, it keeps coming up with the same response. And YES I did read the Tutorial on how to run the Program. Had my neighbor yelling at me that I was stupid for mowing my own yard. He said it was 30 below and I was dumb for doing it. I politely turned to him and said "Yes, but it's still growing". Anyhow, I need the exercise. I think I just need to get away and go FISHING! OK, Now I have vented and now I feel better.

This may be the most profound statement that my friend, Lady Elspeth, has ever made! It expresses the concept of being stressed MOST clearly.

Posted by: susieq76 06-Dec-2004, 01:30 PM

Elspeth said it perfectly. I can only add this:

Posted by: dragonboy3611 06-Dec-2004, 04:51 PM

Personally, I think adults in general take too much in on themselves, and do not know when it's getting to them, to just quite and relax. They don't seem to take much time to themselves, to let themsselves vent. It than builds, and you get what Elspeth said...ARRRRGHHH! It's sad, the holiday season is supposed to be one of joy and happiness.......I hope your still having that happiness with that stress!

I ride the bus to work every morning. These are called chivas, which means goat and they are usually a small Toyota minibus fitted with four long bench seats in back, and a couple of fold up jump seats on the sliding door side so that people can actually get to the back. For those of you that live in the states, real public transportation is probably a little hard to understand, but here, as far as being able to travel from one place to another, it is quite good. You can travel to absolutely any part of the country on some form of public transportation. Each small town has a bus cooperative operating, and you don't even need to leave your house to catch a bus, just call the terminal and they will come by and pick you up. Anyway, this morning I overslept, when we called for the bus the first available was full and leaving so it meant about a fifteen minute wait before the next one started it's route through my little town picking up passengers. So by the time it got to pick me up I was really late. The best seat is the front passenger seat since it has the most legroom, but of coarse, it was occupied so I went in the back. I was the first passenger back there and picked the farthest seat to the back on the side with the jump seats. Although this seat is one of the most cramped and uncomfortable, it has the advantage of having a window that can be opened and it is impossible for another passenger to just reach over and close it without having to come through me. Just to help clarify how important that is, Panamanians get cold easily and in a small bus packed with 16 passengers it never fails that some little old lady will reach over and start closing windows because she is cold or doesn't want her hair mussed or something. That drives me crazy. As the bus made its last circuit through town loading, a lady got on that obviously is one of those people that are somewhat challenged in life. She is a regular passenger, but usually I am on an earlier bus. I will strive harder to maintain that in the future because as she moved to the back of the bus to sit in the seat in front of me the heavy waves of too much cheap perfume moved visibly in the air around her. It was so heavy that it displaced the available oxygen almost causing a loss of conciousness. Fortunately I had my window open and was quickly able to simultaneously turn slightly to catch some fresh air and at the same time shoving it open a little more and also feigning sleep to discourage any request to close it. (Quick thinking on my part). The bus left town for the twenty kilometer ride to La Arena and as it picked up speed a nice breeze came in helping to dispell the horrid fragrance of unidentifiable scent that had filled the air of the bus. But then as I sat there, color returning after my brief period of cyanosis, I watched as she pulled out a compact and started reapplying make up to her face. I thought you were supposed to wash the old stuff off first but then I really don't know much about that not using it myself and having the sense to marry a lady that doesn't use that stuff. Or maybe this passenger thought that she should touch up since she was now in the company of 15 other people packed like sardines in a 14 passenger minibus. Words fail me here, it is impossible to convey the horror of this scene and luckily I had been running late and had not had breakfast. Again, I will try harder to travel on an earlier bus in the future. For some reason I find this irritating, a sort of disrespect for the other passengers. Of coarse, this is an incredibly polite society, and no one said anything, but if the guy sitting on the other end of the seat I was on had been able to regain conciousness I am sure he would would have been offended also.

I am trying real hard not to be stressed at this time of year. I am doing a lot of deep breathing, telling my self SLOW DOWN.. Its hard to do that sometimes.

Posted by: Haldur 08-Dec-2004, 06:55 PM

I'd like to thank all of you for choosing this thread as a place to vent your stress...I feel better about the holiday season because I'm excited to be with family and friends! I guess I let my work get me stressed because I work at a call center in Kentucky and have to answer to a lot of people. It's just very stressful at times and I tend to seal everything up until the weekend. Things are going better now because I can vent through recording/writing my music, my writings, and talking with my friends and family about problems and stresses. Keep 'em comin' folks and don't be afraid to introduce yourselves in the process because I have just gotten back into posting on Highlander after neglecting it for several months. Thank you!

Posted by: Haldur 17-Dec-2004, 06:11 PM

that last little flow was written while listening to tool. cool band btw. i have been sick and i hate it. when i get sick, i get sick. it's a numbing feeling that feels like everything, including time, slows down. i must breathe in the air. i must take everything back and get back to work. i feel hopeful because i know the new year will bring about new opportunities and that through it all i have god beside me.

Posted by: Aaediwen 17-Dec-2004, 06:52 PM

Nice piece, Haldur I really like it. really nice feel to it.

Posted by: Monarch's Own 18-Dec-2004, 07:36 PM

Stress? Oh yes I get stressed. when my house is not as clean as I like it to be. GRRRRRRRRRRR when my dogs needs to go outside in the middle of the night ARRRRRGGGGGG when I have loads of laundry to do and no one is doing it for me HEEELLLPPPP!!! so if it comes together I simply take the dog out and leave the rest for a while and overlook it - grab a good book, take a hot bath and afterwards it doesn't look so bad anymore. and quite relaxing too.

An observation taken from a greeting card: Stressed spelled backwards is Desserts! Last one to the fridge is a rotten egg! Merry Christmas!!

Posted by: Lyra Luminara 19-Dec-2004, 05:33 PM

Stress right now is...the most stressful thing in the world--love. Or my lack of that is. I believe I've fallen for someone comepletely unattainable and I feel like a complete idiot about it...bah. I don't even know, it's a complicated situation but I feel had we met at a different time under different circumstances we could have had something. I've had enough of this unrequited deal, because this isn't the first time. It's becoming QUITE the annoyance.

Posted by: Haldur 23-Dec-2004, 12:00 AM

I feel your pain there lyra, love can be painful sometimes! I hope you get to let this person know how you truly feel so you can feel good in time for the holidays. That's a cool point there single speed! Dessert is the best, stressed is not. Here's another rant of mine while listening to the Beastie Boys (go figure!) I think I'm a miser in this time of lust I'm pushing up daisies and starting to rust I've got my heiny in a bind, not been shoppin' on time Gotta sip a little gin and some beer to unwind I know what the rest of them are gonna say Alcohol's not the answer yeah it's not the way So I write down this rhyme 'stead of keepin' it all inside Gonna take my little lady for a late-night ride To the grocery store we get up and drive She's been feeling my pulse but I swear I'm not alive It's getting colder and colder outside Gotta zip up your jacket just to cruise in my ride 'Cause my heater's been broke damn near all year I've got a hemi in the front and a tire in the rear Nothin' but love for my Highlander folk Excuse me while I break like an egg shell on a yolk Well I don't know what I've been told But Celtic radio music don't ever get old Living up my life from day to day Better stop rappin' 'fore you all throw me away!

Posted by: Haldur 25-Dec-2004, 09:41 AM

Yes, Aaediwen...that's what I get for listening to the Beastie Boys. I must say, music is everywhere. I try not to limit myself although here lately I've been listening to mostly Evanescence, A Perfect Circle, the occasional Tool, and a little bit of everything else thrown into the mix. If my WinAmp could talk it would probably say, "Stick you a genre, Josh!" Merry Christmas everyone!

Posted by: UrchinGirl 25-Dec-2004, 02:47 PM

~If my WinAmp could talk it would probably say, "Stick you a genre, Josh!"~ Haulder It's good to branch out though! And it's true what you say about music being everywhere. But my rant. Yes.... While it was nothing life threatening, I was in a car accident on Thursday evening. Again, everyone was fine (except my car.... we're seeing what we can do about him though, and my wrist... just a sprain.). What really irks me is the fact that the officer I called showed no interest at all in my side of the story. He goes to the other person involved (Who was speeding and high.. I'll get into that in a moment) gets his story, comes over to us (my three friends and myself) asks for my licenes, registration and side of the story. No, "Are youalright?" no, "Is anyone injured?". No nothing. He then immediately goes back over to the other person and talks to them the rest of the night before any of us could comment on the smell coming from his car when we went to see the damage done to it. The guy had since rolled down his windows and lit a cigarette. But BEFORE the officer arrived on the scene (It takes a good 30 minutes for them to how up anywhere in this town) he'd called a friend on his cell phone while I was on the phone calling 911. HIs friend shows up and takes the guys stash away. Now, I'm rulled at fault. Because I was conducting a U-turn (yeah I know.. my mistake) but I'd stopped, looked, nothing was there. Nothing. So I pull out and go about turning around when the white car speeds down the street behind me, pulls into the other lane (On a double yellow) and proceedes to tear the front end of my car off. While he was HIGH. We ended up calling the officer back, but "I didn't smell anything, I didn't see anything." was his responce. "You're lucky I don't give you a ticket, miss." At that point I had to walk away, I was furious and in tears. Not a good combination for any of this. And to top it off.... now I have no car to go and see my biological father tomorrow unless some mirical happens. I've only JUST met him this last year, he lives in Texas and I've seen him twice. I can't miss this!!! Excuse me, I'm going to have to stop... I'm getting overly upset (and my wrist, the only injury and a very minor one, is hurting again). Now that the Holidays are over however, may all our stress levels drop drasticaly.
