This will be my last post for a very long time. It's fair for me to say that some things of interest have happened. Interesting enough to gather most of my attention. I've figured out what I can write and what I can't, so I've been having some fun with that. I also found a woman that has hijacked my mind, which I was not prepared for. Since I am not very emotional, it always causes quite a stir.

I'm going back to the pre-internet days.

Jodo, you about the coolest cat around. Don't be a stranger! Good luck with this woman, too.

My sushi gal-pal is absolutely batshit insane, but I cannot stop thinking of her, so we're in the same boat, you and I! When you do come back, be sure to tell us of everything that transpired.

Ah, too bad! I enjoy your comments and rants
Good luck with all your projects, and I hope you stop by from time to time to catch-up!

cheers,

-avatar!

I've always enjoyed your insightful posts Jodo.  I kinda suspected it was going to be a girl sucking up all your spare time even before reading your post because that's the only thing I could think of that could possibly prevent you from not coming here. =p

A pseudo-isolated collection of fermions commonly denominated as "Grass" doesn't believe this at all. Good luck establishing a working connection with this other fermion collection.

does anyone have some context that can explain to me what this actually means?

Take care dude.  Watch out for those spiders!!

Where did you meet her?

..on MySpaces?

Take care, Jodo!  I hope someday we'll see the return of your most interesting commentary! 

I thought the release of the Sennheiser HD800 would have had something to do with Jodo Kast shutting down for a while.  I figured he picked up a balanced pair of HD800s and retreated to his lair to enter a realm of aural ecstasy.

Yes, aural sex is a wonderful thing...

*slow clap*

I dunno, man. I got in trouble for trying that on a bus once . . . 

Why?  Were you 'too loud' for the other passengers to concentrate?

Did you ever see those PlayBoy Erotic Adventures audio cd's for sale at Tower Records back in the day?

I could never understand why you had to be at least 18 to buy one, but yet if you wanted a regular music cd with explicit lyrics, there was no age restriction...

Late as always and I doubt you'll see this, but good luck with things, Jodo. Yeah, real life's taken quite a toll here too.

As for everyone else, especially Shoe: You guys are terrible. You crack me up. ^_~

Thanks. And you're right. My time has been rather compromised lately, due to a female I'm interested in. I figured I'd provide an update, for those with curious minds.

  I didn't meet her online. We had worked together for about 6 months before I noticed I really liked her. I initially tried to eliminate any thoughts of her, because if I do get feelings for a woman, then they are very intense. It is healthier for me if I am not attracted to anyone. I realized I couldn't ignore her, so I asked her out. She told me to wait, cause she's still trying to get rid of her ex-boyfriend.

  She's not my girlfriend, but I've been out with her once and spent some time at her house. Before doing anything with her, she had warned me that her ex-boyfriend still hangs around. I didn't know he'd come over while I was alone with her, but he did. This is what happened:

  We were cuddling on top of the bed, just talking, for about two hours. Her ex calls and wants to know if I'm over there (he apparently keeps tabs on me). She told him I was there. Even though she has told him to stay away he will have none of it. He's desperately trying to get back with her and claims he's going to marry her. After the phone call, she told me what he did to the last guy she was hanging out with. He attacked the guy. Also, if she doesn't let him in, he'll beat on the windows until she does so. The guy is somewhat crazy.

  In the back of my mind, I'm suspecting I'm being tested. I've never met her ex and it's possible she's curious to see how the confrontation will unfold. She slipped under the covers and asked me to sit in a chair. She wanted it to look as if we had just been talking. The guy comes in and immediately jumps on the bed, completely ignoring me. He struck me as sickly and weak; his eyes were bloodshot. If he had attempted to physically engage me, it would've been very bad for him. I'm of course being nice to the guy, pretending I don't know his name and introducing myself and whatnot. She had told me he was trying to get "cut" so I gave him some pointers. After about 10 minutes of parley I decided to leave.

  She followed me up the stairs, we had a little laugh, and I headed home. That was all very new to me and makes the "game" considerably more interesting. I always get a yes or no when I ask a woman out, not a wait. The reason for the wait is that her ex has a hernia and she feels obligated to take care of him, since his parents essentially abandoned him and he has almost no money.

  From some recent conversations I have had with others, it seems that a crazy ex-boyfriend is very deleterious to people trying to socialize. I've never been in such a situation before and I can tell you it was disturbing. I didn't like being nice to the guy. I do suspect that if I do actually go out with this girl, a physical confrontation with the ex will inevitably happen. Since he can't take me in a fight, I'm much more worried about him trying to damage some of my property, such as my car.

  About this woman: Psychologically, she's afraid of bigger guys. One of her recurring dreams is that of a large guy chasing her. She has always dated guys that are smaller than her (she's 5'9"). I'm the first guy she's gotten involved with that's noticeably larger than she is. Also, the guys she has dated have had alcohol/suicide problems. She likes me because I don't drink.

  I'll stop by from time to time to provide more updates.

Sounds like it has potential for trouble.  Don't get yourself into any scenario where the ex gets desperate and goes for a gun or something.  People who are desperate can do really stupid things.

Run.

Sounds about right, dude.

dude,, take them on Springer...

Love ya too, Schala!

Are you still using LiveJournal nowadays..?

Sounds to me like a classic case of a woman wanting to her have her cake and eat it to.  If she wants to be with you, she'll ditch the other guy.  The fact that she keeps him around and even encourages him to come over while she's with you just shows that's she playing both of you.  Or in simpler terms, RUN.

Did I ever mention you're one of the weirdest MFers ever, even outdoing yourself by the fact you believe people desire "updates" about your life, and yet I can't help but enjoy a wacky Jodo story.

I'm not so sure if each collection of fermions exhibiting consciousness actually desire updates, but I know people are reading them. This does not imply a genuine interest, because of ennui. I suppose that reading my posts has the effect of eliminating bits of boredom. I also know some people are not suffering from ennui and look forward to what I type. Ennui might come from our increased leisure time, since many people have trouble finding activities other than collecting photons from liquid crystal displays or cathode ray tubes.

I have no further updates about the relationship. That is, no updates of real significance. Not yet. Even though she's indecisive, I'm sticking around. My behavior looks good to others, I've realized. It makes other women wonder what "I've got", the fact that I'm receiving attention. This is truly psychological warfare and I enjoy it. I enjoy upsetting her ex-boyfriend. It's great! (I don't love her, which helps me stay in an observational mode.)

Reading stuff like is makes me so glad I don't have a girlfriend.

Edit: Of course, I'm not sure which is worse at this point: having a girlfriend or having to listen to all my parents arguements. Pretty annoying having my mother angry at my father on his birthday.

haha, always entertaining thoughts.
JK, keep us posted.

I have to wonder why you keep referring to yourself as a collection of fermions. Are you unaware that you have many bosons as well?!

I thought man was nothing but a miserable pile of secrets?

Enough talk, have at you.

No, this cannot be! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

god, that's the best line in the entire game!

And to my surprise, it's superior to the japanese voice actor for Dracula.

Has this guy done any other voice acting for video games?  I'm gonna have to look up his name, now.

"HERE'S TRUE POWWA!!!"

heh..

The Hell it is.
Norio Wakamoto OWNS ALL.

You'd be surprised (or probably not) how completely different the Japanese dialogue is...
