Delightful vitrol or troll fodder

When can we be vitriolic on the interwebs and have it not be food for trolls? How can we be hyperbolicly critical without being rightfully called a troll ourselves. I find it very therapeutic to vent my spleen into the anonymous void of the internet but am forever worried that if I do it somewhere very public that I will, instead of garnering giggles, be prompting cyber-malcontents to shit in the forum. And while a certain amount of hypocrisy is fun and funny I don't think I would like to lose what little credibility I have by lambasting trolls while at the same time making monstrous comments about other subjects? I guess it is time for me to go out and find somebodies guide to the subject of internet posting.

We've all had this thought

Why is it that 364 days of the year we tell kids that they shouldn't talk to strangers and to never accept candy from them but at the ass end of October we encourage them to disguise themselves and then do just that.

What power must a halloween mask grant unto its wearer that it can make safe this other wise risky behavior?

I have a job interview monday for a community college that I don't really want. It's not helpful to my career and I'm doubting that I'll enjoy the work. The only reason I'm going is because I have to and the money is more than unemployment.

My girlfriend and I broke up. We decided that we were better friends than whatever we were. We got on each others nerves and shouted at each other on a regular basis. We weren't going anywhere or if we were we weren't going their together.

I'm tired again.

2 months

I've been unemployed for two months now. Looking for work sucks. Not having to go to work is great. I'm getting bored. I'm trying to stay busy. I'm not losing weight like I want to. I'm writing recipes like I thought I would. I think things might turn around soon but I have nothing to base this off of but a feeling. Anna and I are okay but both of us are under pressure and it isn't good for either of us. Brian and Chloe are getting married this Saturday. Will's Bachelor party is the 5th of Nov and his and Jamie's Wedding is the 7th. Halloween is coming. I have 20 weeks more of UI. I am moving in with Will and Jamie and maybe Alex too at the end of November.

No Knead Bread

Hi. I love this bread recipe. Take a look at where I got it. http://foodwishes.blogspot.com/search/label/Breads

4 cups bread flour (I used 3 cups white and 1 cup wheat)
*Note: you can use All-purpose flour if you want and you can also mess with the proportions of wheat to white
1/4 tsp yeast
2 cups water
1 1/2 tsp salt

Mix your flours to combine with the salt and yeast. Add two cups of warm water. Stir until uniform.

Allow to rise for 18 hours! That means if you want fresh bread in the morning you are looking at making this the afternoon of the previous day.

Once the 18 hours is up punch the dough down and turn it out into a well greased bread pan. Allow that a second proof for 2 hours.

Preheat an oven to 425 and bake for 35-45 minutes.

*Note: if you like a really hard crust I suggest a water bath at the bottom of the oven.

Comin' around

Every time I read the news I get sad about the state of the world. I find new reasons to doubt our leaders. I find cause for concern and consternation.

It seems to me that greed, corruption, and the desire for power are just as rampant as they ever were. We might just be realizing it more and that is making the mob restless and disenfranchised which could lead to anger and real problems.

Some part of me would love to see apathy and anger lead this country, and this world, into a bloodless revolution but I recognize that the wealthy will always be willing to bribe enough people to maintain the status-quo.

I hope everything works out. I don't know what I should do to help. I don't know how much help people deserve or if any one organization or person is right to decide how much help people need or who to help. I don't know how to come to an informed decision without trusting others.

Too many things are spun in the media for me to be sure that what is right or wrong and that makes me wonder if I'm getting the whole story.

I need more time off. : )

Hail Eris. Praise Buddha.

50-50

I have had a few job offers but none have them have been a good fit. On one hand I'm upset that I am not going to get the jobs or that they would be crap and on the other hand I'm happy to do nothing.

I'm a strange man in a strange land.
