Tainted Tears

By Kaiser Dämmerung

I went to the eye doctors today on my lunch break. I had been postponing my visit since almost three weeks ago, thanks to my god-awful short term memory, which failed to remind me to go day after day, since an appointment is not necessary. Until my pissed off mother reminded me of the horrible fate that befalls someone who fails to show up for four weeks in a row (No more free check-ups). Incredible how a pissed off succubus can jump-start your memory. I sure as hell didn't forget to go today.
When the doctor checked my eyes, he said my tears are Contaminated. What the fuck? I imagined glowing, green ooze seeping from my eyes at that moment.

Why do I get such bizarre mental pictures when I'm at that clinic?

In another subject, I was discussing something with my significant other which left me thinking. We were talking about ...Keep reading.

Happy Cursegiving

By Kaiser Dämmerung

There are times when I wished I knew how to forge a few entries in my birth certificate so I could prove I don't belong to this family so I don't have to go through days like these. They're not bad people, but seriously, the things I have to put up with.
Today's ordeal was going to happen at my sister's house, or, as I like to call it, "Bores-the-fucking-hell-out-of-me" Manor. The turkey in this house had been primped since 3 days ago. By my dad. Amazing how someone so crass can make turkey taste so good.
Things started to go downhill when I was told I was the designated driver. Which meant that the whole trip would be reduced to people all around me screaming: "you're going too fast!", "slow down!", "why didn't you skip that hole?", "watch out for that car!", etc.
Then I notice they start packing ...Keep reading.

The Frailty of Sleeplessness

By Kaiser Dämmerung

I was told to work early tomorrow so I decided to press Start->Shutdown on my body really early. I went to sleep at about 9 p.m. Besides, for some reason I felt really, really tired. Not from work, because it was really uneventful. Just made another cover (which absolutely rocked, if I do say so myself) and it's corresponding column. You can check it out this wednesday if you read PH, it's the cover to "Reacción". *grin*
And I don't know why the fuck my boss now assumes my second name is "Marie". Does she suspect something I haven't told her yet? I bet she does. She's an intuitive little devil.
Anyway, back to the sleeping part. I didn't feel physically tired, it was more like a spiritual exhaustion that I can't quite explain.
I lie down, and 5 minutes after... BAM! Mommie Dearest (complete with psychotic 60's diva ...Keep reading.

Karma Resolution and happy memories

By Kaiser Dämmerung

I was told to call the insurance office today so I could get some info about how much money they're gonna throw at my face.
It was obvious that $3,700 in damages was a "slightly" exagerated amount for a smashed car door, so I was expecting them to see through all the shit that was included in the appraisal and maybe let me go with $800 bucks or maybe less.
When I called today, they said they approved over $1,100, and that they were going to give me $70 more once the car has been repaired. Why do they do that? holding on to such a measly amount until you get your affairs in order? Is it some stupid-ass method to prevent greedy assholes from taking the money and using it on something else?
I believe it is, but still, it's stupid as hell. That money belongs to the car's ...Keep reading.

It’s that time again…

By Kaiser Dämmerung

To whore myself around with some promo!

I've been trying to get my portfolio online for quite some time now, and I finally got the cojones to do it yesterday. It still has a few bugs, nicks and bruises here and there, and it's still missing that loading percent thingy (the little counter that shows the page's % when it's charging the scenes).

So if you see that it takes too long to load, don't get all antsy, hang in there and it appears. If it doesn't load at all after some time, refresh the page and go to that section again, it's supposed to appear. If it doesn't work at all, fuck you. Your computer sucks. (Either that or you don't have Flash in your browser.)

And now, without further ado:

BEHOLD, PUNY MORTALS!

Got any suggestions? Questions? Insults? Kudos? there's a little link called "comments" on the bottom of this self-servicing diatribe. ...Keep reading.

The Potato Peel Crisis

So DS wanted to make potato salad. Eh, why not. He makes a damn good potato salad. Great, today's lunch menu is decided. Soon enough I see him in the kitchen doing something that looked... questionable. No, he wasn't doing lewd things to the potatoes or drizzling them with any sort of "special dressing", he was just pushing tons and tons of potato peels through the trash disposal. But really pushing them like an unwanted ...

What the fuck is wrong with Puerto Rico’s Blogging community?!

It's been quite a long while since I went over to Puertoblogs to see what's new. I haven't had time to sit down and read through all the self centered drivel that clogs the internet today, and now that I finally got to do it, I wish i had not. Holy Fucking Shit. Yes, it is self centered because that's exactly what ...

It’s Happy Fun Exploration Time!

OK, so even though we seem to have moved into apartment paradise, there comes a time when you get cabin fever and for fear of smacking the shit out of your significant other when he makes you jump out of your seat by screaming like a rape victim for the 17th time because he's playing Gears of War and a sniper just blew his fucking head off, you know that it's time to ...
