I know Election fatigue has really set in for a lot of you today, but just remember this is a celebration of what it means to live in this country. We are able to elect, able to dissent, able to assemble and able to choose.

The candidates I won't get into. But take the chance today to exercise one of our most basic rights as Americans. Please vote.

To the person I agreed to boycott election stuff with, I'm still doing it. How about you? Does this mean I can skip school today too since it's all we're going to be talking about?

Did anyone else wake up after Halloween in a stolen broken down Taxi cab with a treasure chest full of gold dubloons?

Just me, then?

Today will be the day that you will always remember as the day you almost caught Captain Jack Sparrow.

Savvy?

I still don't think any of this is very respectful.

Anybody ever had experience with genealogy stuff? Like, looking up records and all that? Don't know where I'd start, especially if I ain't on the scene.

It sounds nuts, but had some damn weird dreams, and, I don' know. I think maybe I saw my father in 'em.

Just leave a note, people!

I got this rental while my car is in the shop and it's called an Avenger. How cool is that? I kind of feel like a badass in it. It drives like a boat though. I like my little Mazda. It handles so much better than this thing.

Is it too corny to wear a flower in your breast pocket to a job interview for a flower shop? I almost always wear flowers so it's not like it's abnormal for me, but they don't know that.

I've been posting ads in the local newspapers and on the UCI website, but I figured this is as good a place as any. Actually, it's probably the best place to look for candidates considering people on this network seem to be so much more open about their dreams.

I'm looking for 5 to 10 human participants for a clinical trial I am putting together. The trial is regarding the dreams, so having them is a must. It involves spending nights at the my medical facility in UCI and answering questions. There is a fair amount of pay involved and it can be negotiated depending upon what the participant would be willing to do (I'm looking into doing some sleep deprivation trials as well, for example).

If you have these dreams and are interested in earning some extra cash for simply having them and letting me study observe you, then please let me know so we can discuss it further.

Thank you.

OKay, it's been months since the accident. I think it's about time I got back into shape now.

So: Anyone out there do self defense training? Martial arts, kickboxing... stuff? Also, Fencing?

I also really need to brush up on my archery, but the target Obi built for me should be enough for that.

Obadiah Stane is guilty! I knew it! I don't understand why someone would want to hurt Mr. Stark. He's an amazing man. There must be something terribly wrong with Stane. Maybe his mother didn't love him when he was growing up.

I'd like to express my sincerest gratitude to everyone who sent condolences over the last week. They were very much appreciated.

Well. That was something else. I was lucky that the giraffe slobber didn't really ruin the tux.

That would have been very hard to explain, I think.

The trip to South Africa was a great success. We managed to build three new water wells for a small village which will greatly improve their quality of life. It's always a treat to meet these people and hear their stories. One day I need to sit down and write a book about all of it. I feel so full of love right now.

I can go to this Gala thing on my own correct? Without looking too pathetic?

I mean I am sure I will end up talking to many people when I am there anyway. I have never been one to be a wallflower.

Right.

So maybe some of you aren't crazy.

You know, I wasn't going to post but I'm still pissed off after last night, so it's going up here anyway. Cope. You people missed reading Bullshit Roy Can Do Without even if you haven't admitted it to yourselves. So. Today's topic. People Who Think They Can Tell Me What To Do Just Because They're Older.

Uh no. Unless you're a cop, or I'm working for you, I'm not actually obligated to listen or to give a fuck about what you're saying. Sometimes I do give one. When it's important or you're my friend and I actually care enough to ask for your advice or you give it to me and I decide to listen to you. But the listening part? That's completely my choice here. I do not have to sit there and take it, I do not HAVE to allow you to micromanage my life, and you treat me like a little kid, and I'm REALLY not required to deal with it.

There's no law that says I have to take being disrespected and that I'm not allowed to disrespect you right back in your face no matter who's there watching if you pull that shit. There's no law that says I owe you any fucking thing if you treat me like that and I don't HAVE to take it, and right now? I'm not gonna.

In other words? I'll respect you when you respect me and not before. Two way fucking street, People. Deal with it.

You know, it's a shame that the Olympics are over. That was the one thing we could all agree upon watching at the station.

Congratulations, by the way, to all the Olympians on the Valarnet. You had some very invested firefighters cheering you on.

I can't believe it.

I actually can't believe it. A job offer out of nowhere. That still happens?

Some bodybuilder tears up Orange County and how did I spend my day? By taking pictures of food. What a wasted opportunity.

That could not have been real. I mean, that's impossible.

Did anyone else see that?

I'm very sorry to ask a stupid question, but has anyone heard of a place called Krypton?

I know. It sounds very made up.

Really, people? If you're going to kill the furballs, that's fine. But don't just leave the blood splatters and entrails on someone else's property. It's rude.

That's very strange. Sounds like a lot of us got unexpected fuzzy pets?

Why do I feel like this is some kind of viral campaign for something? Madison Avenue is getting sort of silly with that sort of thing.

I'm afraid I didn't get the Gawker job. Not really surprised, but it's a shame anyway. I really thought I had a chance.

I'm sure something better will come along though.
