Been a while.

More rants.

This ones for war nerds only, seeing as others would get bored as hell otehrwise.

The new big thing on the web is all these sites with names like "I Hate France," with supposed datelines of French military history, supposedly proving how the French are total cowards. If you want to see a sample of this dumbass Frog bashing, try this:

www.albinoblacksheep.com/text/france.html

Well, I'm going to tell you guys something you probably don't want to hear: these sites are total bullshit, the notion that the French are cowards is total bullshit, and anybody who knows anything about European military history knows damn well that over the past thousand years, the French have the most glorious military history in Europe, maybe the world.

Before you send me more of those death threats, let me finish. I hate Chirac too, and his disco foreign minister with the blow-dry 'do and the snotty smile. But there are two things I hate more than I hate the French: ignorant fake war buffs, and people who are ungrateful. And when an American mouths off about French military history, he's not just being ignorant, he's being ungrateful. I was raised to think ungrateful people were trash.

When I say ungrateful, I'm talking about the American Revolution. If you're a true American patriot, then this is the war that matters. Hell, most of you probably couldn't name three major battles from it, but try going back to when you read Johnny Tremaine in fourth grade and you might recall a little place called Yorktown, Virginia, where we bottled up Cornwallis's army, forced the Brits' surrender and pretty much won the war.

Well, news flash: "we" didn't win that battle, any more than the Northern Alliance conquered the Taliban. The French army and navy won Yorktown for us. Americans didn't have the materiel or the training to mount a combined operation like that, with naval blockade and land siege. It was the French artillery forces and military engineers who ran the siege, and at sea it was a French admiral, de Grasse, who kicked the shit out of the British navy when they tried to break the siege.

Long before that, in fact as soon as we showed the Brits at Saratoga that we could win once in a while, they started pouring in huge shipments of everything from cannon to uniforms. We'd never have got near Yorktown if it wasn't for massive French aid.

So how come you bastards don't mention Yorktown in your cheap webpages? I'll tell you why: because you're too ignorant to know about it and too dishonest to mention it if you did.

The thing that gets to me is why Americans hate the French so much when they only did us good and never did us any harm. Like, why not hate the Brits? They're the ones who killed thousands of Americans in the Revolution, and thirty years later they came back and attacked us again. That time around they managed to burn Washington DC to the ground while they were at it. How come you web jerks never mention that?

Sure, the easy answer is because the Brits are with us now, and the French aren't. But being a war buff means knowing your history and respecting it.

Well, so much for ungrateful. Now let's talk about ignorant. And that's what you are if you think the French can't fight: just plain ignorant. Appreciation of the French martial spirit is just about the most basic way you can distinguish real war nerds from fake little teachers'pets.

Let's take the toughest case first: the German invasion, 1940, when the French Army supposedly disgraced itself against the Wehrmacht. This is the only real evidence you'll find to call the French cowards, and the more you know about it, the less it proves. Yeah, the French were scared of Hitler. Who wasn't? Chamberlain, the British prime minister, all but licked the Fuhrer's goosesteppers, basically let him have all of Central Europe, because Britain was terrified of war with Germany. Hell, Stalin signed a sweetheart deal with Hitler out of sheer terror, and Stalin wasn't a man who scared easy.

The French were scared, all right. But they had reason to be. For starters, they'd barely begun to recover from their last little scrap with the Germans: a little squabble you might've heard of, called WW I.

WW I was the worst war in history to be a soldier in. WW II was worse if you were a civilian, but the trenches of WW I were five years of Hell like General Sherman never dreamed of. At the end of it a big chunk of northern France looked like the surface of the moon, only bloodier, nothing but craters and rats and entrails.

Verdun. Just that name was enough to make Frenchmen and Germans, the few who survived it, wake up yelling for years afterward. The French lost 1.5 million men out of a total population of 40 million fighting the Germans from 1914-1918. A lot of those guys died charging German machine-gun nests with bayonets. I'd really like to see one of you office smartasses joke about "surrender monkeys" with a French soldier, 1914 vintage. You'd piss your dockers.

Shit, we strut around like we're so tough and we can't even handle a few uppity Iraqi villages. These guys faced the Germans head on for five years, and we call them cowards? And at the end, it was the Germans, not the French, who said "calf rope."

When the sequel war came, the French relied on their frontier fortifications and used their tanks (which were better than the Germans', one on one) defensively. The Germans had a newer, better offensive strategy. So they won. And the French surrendered. Which was damn sensible of them.

This was the WEHRMACHT. In two years, they conquered all of Western Europe and lost only 30,000 troops in the process. That's less than the casualties of Gettysburg. You get the picture? Nobody, no army on earth, could've held off the Germans under the conditions that the French faced them. The French lost because they had a long land border with Germany. The English survived because they had the English Channel between them and the Wehrmacht. When the English Army faced the Wermacht at Dunkirk, well, thanks to spin the tuck-tail-and-flee result got turned into some heroic tale of a brilliant British retreat. The fact is, even the Brits behaved like cowards in the face of the Wermacht, abandoning the French. It's that simple.

Here's a quick sampler of some of my favorite French victories, like an antidote to those ignorant websites. We'll start way back and move up to the 20th century.

Tours, 732 AD: The Muslims had already taken Spain and were well on their way to taking the rest of Europe. The only power with a chance of stopping them was the French army under Charles "the Hammer" Martel, King of the Franks (French), who answered to the really cool nickname "the Hammer of God." It was the French who saved the continent's ass. All the smart money was on the Muslims: there were 60,000 of them, crazy Jihadis whose cavalry was faster and deadlier than any in Europe. The French army was heavily outnumbered and had no cavalry. Fighting in phalanxes, they held against dozens of cavalry charges and after at least two days of hand-to-hand combat, finally managed to hack their way to the Muslim center and kill their commander. The Muslims retreated to Spain, and Europe developed as an independent civilization.

Orleans, May 1429: Joan of Arc: is she the most insanely cool military commander in history or what? This French peasant girl gets instructions from her favorite saints to help out the French against the English invaders. She goes to the King (well, the Dauphin, but close enough) and tells him to give her the army and she'll take it from there. And somehow she convinces him. She takes the army, which has lost every battle it's been in lately, to Orleans, which is under English siege. Now Joan is a nice girl, so she tries to settle things peaceably. She explains in a letter to the enemy commanders that everything can still be cool, "...provided you give up France...and go back to your own countries, for God's sake. And if you do not, wait for the Maid, who will visit you briefly to your great sorrow." The next day she put on armor, mounted a charger, and prepared to lead the attack on the besiegers' fortifications. She ordered the gates opened, but the Mayor refused until Joan explained that she, personally, would cut off his head. The gates went up, the French sallied out, and Joan led the first successful attack they'd made in years. The English strongpoints were taken, the siege was broken, and Joan's career in the cow-milking trade was over.

Braddock's Defeat (aka Battle of Monongahela) July 1755: Next time you're driving through the Ohio Valley, remember you're passing near the site of a great French victory over an Anglo-American force twice its size. General Edward Braddock marched west from Virginia with 1,500 men -- a very large army in 18th-c. America. His orders were to seize French land and forts in the Valley -- your basic undeclared land-grab invasion. The French joined the local tribes to resist, and then set up a classic ambush. It was a slaughter. More than half of Braddock's force -- 880 men -- were killed or wounded. The only Anglo officer to escape unhurt was this guy called George Washington, and even he had two horses shot out from under him. After a few minutes of non-stop fire from French and Indians hidden in the woods, Braddock's command came apart like something out of Nam, post-Tet. Braddock was hit and wounded, but none of his troops would risk getting shot to rescue him.

Austerlitz, Dec. 1805: You always hear about Austerlitz as "Napoleon's Greatest Victory," like the little guy personally went out and wiped out the combined Russian and Austrian armies. The fact is, ever since the Revolution in 1789, French armies had been kicking ass against everybody. They were free citizens fighting against scared peasant and degenerate mercenaries, and it was no contest. At Austerlitz, 65,000 French troops took on 90,000 Russians and Austrians and destroyed them. Absolutely annihilated them. The French lost only 8,000, compared to 29,000 of the enemy. The tactics Bonaparte used were very risky, and would only have worked with superb troops: he encouraged the enemy to attack a weak line, then brought up reinforcements who'd been held out of sight. That kind of tactical plan takes iron discipline and perfect timing -- and the French had it.

Jena, Oct. 1806: just a quick reminder for anybody who thinks the Germans always beat the French. Napoleon takes on the Prussian army and destroys it. 27,000 Prussian casualties vs. 5,000 French. Prussian army routed, pursued for miles by French cavalry.

You guys might want to remember that the French under Napoleon are still the only army ever to have taken all of continental Europe, from Moscow to Madrid. I could keep listing French victories till I had a book. In fact, it's not a bad idea. A nice big hardback, so you could take it to the assholes running all the anti-French-military sites and bash their heads in with it

Anonymity is something that is treasured and despised on the internet.

I for one personally hate it.

for example, when someone in a poorly worded sentence attempts to insult you through blows at your sexual preference, you have an urge to literlly walk up to their house and deccesitate them through pickling of their organs, but their anonymity doesnt allow for retribution of their idiotic and unimformed opinion that they so gracefully decided to express on a random livejournal that they found after some random search.
I am aware that the internet is the internet and that if you post something on it, it may or may not be subject to dissection through attempted "insults".

but that doesnt mean i still cant hate it.


honestly, if youre going to insult me, dont be a fucking coward and post at least a name.


'casue remember folks, anonymous does not forgive!

Fuck the South. Fuck 'em. We should have let them go when they wanted to leave. But no, we had to kill half a million people so they'd stay part of our special Union. Fighting for the right to keep slaves - yeah, those are states we want to keep.

And now what do we get? We're the fucking Arrogant Northeast Liberal Elite? How about this for arrogant: the South is the Real America? The Authentic America. Really?

Cause we fucking founded this country, assholes. Those Founding Fathers you keep going on and on about? All that bullshit about what you think they meant by the Second Amendment giving you the right to keep your assault weapons in the glove compartment because you didn't bother to read the first half of the fucking sentence? Who do you think those wig-wearing lacy-shirt sporting revolutionaries were? They were fucking blue-staters, dickhead. Boston? Philadelphia? New York? Hello? Think there might be a reason all the fucking monuments are up here in our backyard?

No, No. Get the fuck out. We're not letting you visit the Liberty Bell and fucking Plymouth Rock anymore until you get over your real American selves and start respecting those other nine amendments. Who do you think those fucking stripes on the flag are for? Nine are for fucking blue states. And it would be 10 if those Vermonters had gotten their fucking Subarus together and broken off from New York a little earlier. Get it? We started this shit, so don't get all uppity about how real you are you Johnny-come-lately "Oooooh I've been a state for almost a hundred years" dickheads. Fuck off.

Arrogant? You wanna talk about us Northeasterners being fucking arrogant? What's more American than arrogance? Hmmm? Maybe horsies? I don't think so. Arrogance is the fucking cornerstone of what it means to be American. And I wouldn't be so fucking arrogant if I wasn't paying for your fucking bridges, bitch.

All those Federal taxes you love to hate? It all comes from us and goes to you, so shut up and enjoy your fucking Tennessee Valley Authority electricity and your fancy highways that we paid for. And the next time Florida gets hit by a hurricane you can come crying to us if you want to, but you're the ones who built on a fucking swamp. "Let the Spanish keep it, it’s a shithole," we said, but you had to have your fucking orange juice.

The next dickwad who says, "It’s your money, not the government's money" is gonna get their ass kicked. Nine of the ten states that get the most federal fucking dollars and pay the least... can you guess? Go on, guess. That’s right, motherfucker, they're red states. And eight of the ten states that receive the least and pay the most? It’s too easy, asshole, they’re blue states. It’s not your money, assholes, it’s fucking our money. What was that Real American Value you were spouting a minute ago? Self reliance? Try this for self reliance: buy your own fucking stop signs, assholes.

Let’s talk about those values for a fucking minute. You and your Southern values can bite my ass because the blue states got the values over you fucking Real Americans every day of the goddamn week. Which state do you think has the lowest divorce rate you marriage-hyping dickwads? Well? Can you guess? It’s fucking Massachusetts, the fucking center of the gay marriage universe. Yes, that’s right, the state you love to tie around the neck of anyone to the left of Strom Thurmond has the lowest divorce rate in the fucking nation. Think that’s just some aberration? How about this: 9 of the 10 lowest divorce rates are fucking blue states, asshole, and most are in the Northeast, where our values suck so bad. And where are the highest divorce rates? Care to fucking guess? 10 of the top 10 are fucking red-ass we're-so-fucking-moral states. And while Nevada is the worst, the Bible Belt is doing its fucking part.

But two guys making out is going to fucking ruin marriage for you? Yeah? Seems like you're ruining it pretty well on your own, you little bastards. Oh, but that's ok because you go to church, right? I mean you do, right? Cause we fucking get to hear about it every goddamn year at election time. Yes, we're fascinated by how you get up every Sunday morning and sing, and then you're fucking towers of moral superiority. Yeah, that's a workable formula. Maybe us fucking Northerners don't talk about religion as much as you because we're not so busy sinning, hmmm? Ever think of that, you self-righteous assholes? No, you're too busy erecting giant stone tablets of the Ten Commandments in buildings paid for by the fucking Northeast Liberal Elite. And who has the highest murder rates in the nation? It ain't us up here in the North, assholes.

Well this gravy train is fucking over. Take your liberal-bashing, federal-tax-leaching, confederate-flag-waving, holier-than-thou, hypocritical bullshit and shove it up your ass.

And no, you can't have your fucking convention in New York next time. Fuck off.

I have just realized how sad I really am, I went to a skating rink with my friends today, at least I think they're my freinds, Im not so sure now..... anyways, I AM horrible at skating, and appearantly everybody just had to rub it in every five fucking minutes, I have had to deal with that Asshole Eli, you really cant even begin to comprehend how much i despise this child, hes arrogant, ignorant, and doesnt realize when everybodys stopped laughing at his joke, nobody else thinks this, so this is appearantly my problem, so again I turn out to be an annoying little prick, and Im not being sarcastic either. an hour passes, I am so horrible at skating I just stand on the sidelines and stare blankly into space because everybody is either talking to someone else, or hates me, or really just doesnt care. Heh, I act as if the word is supposed to pay full attention to me. I have to endure many taunts about the fact that my hair is long from idiots at school, and I cant say i was pleased when I had to endure it From eli and john. Again, why do I act as if I really am a nice person when Im an annoying peice of crap? who knows..... still at the rink, I kind of halfheartedly wave at the people who have some athletic skill and talent, me however, am really just a hazard to everytone else on the rink, so Im still standing at the edge, when I go over to people ad try to act freindly, they poitely tell me to fuck off, but fourtuanatley 3 of them seem to still think that I dont suck... fast forward to the end of the night, everybodys pissed at me and i get a hug from a person probably because they think its gonna be the best I get for the rest of my life, shes probably right, as i seem to just be a naturaly annoying person. so in total tonight fucking sucked.

I have realized that even when i try to freindly to a person, they just tend to hate me because Im annoying, which is something i seem to be unable to change. When i thought about this, the logic just fucking slapped me in the face. I will always be an annoying hated person, as it semms to be in my human nature, so anytime in my life, I will be hated and loathed, and few will be able to tolerate me.
Well, heres to all of the people who dont like me because im different and i think differently then you

Dubya's Amazing Feats



Now I even though I hate Bush with a passion, there are a few things he has done that amaze me:

1. He hasn't started World War Three yet (even though he got pretty close). Ninety-seven more years and we can trash all those 1960's sci-fi movies.

2. The managed to get most of western society at our throats.

3. Caused North Korea to actually do something for once instead of standing there trying to act hateful and tough.

4. He cut taxes on dividends and for the wealthy one percent (because we all know that filthy rich people and share holders need all the money they can get).

5. Got several citizens of the country to support him in whatever he does whether it means making them look like a bunch of morons or not.

6. Infringed on the rights of the people in order to fight "The War on Terrorism".

And the most of all:

He single handedly butchered the art of public speaking and the English language and got a word named after him for doing it.

Now I realize I have been ranting over the past threee days, but thats inly because I have been in a shitty mood. Normal entries will return tomorrow.

Preteen "Bad asses"

Why is it that preteens think they are such "bad asses"? Most of them haven't even grown their first pubes, yet they think they are all grown up and "can do whatever they want". I partially blame MTV for this recent epidemic of stupidity, but most of the blame goes to all those parents who refuse to keep their children in line. Even online you are constantly being exposed to these preteen "rebels" who think they are cool just because they swear and disobey their parents. The following is a list of all the major groups of annoying preteens and a summary about each.

Annoying preteen #1- The online bad ass

These are the kids responsible for all the high-pitched swearing you hear during online games or all the poorly-written, swear-word laden post you see on messageboards. They think that they are so cool just because they swear. Well I've got news for you kid, swearing only makes you look stupid. People don't avoid in the lobbies because you are a "swearing bad ass", but because you are an annoying preteen. Maybe people would respect you if you weren't at the bottom of the ranking charts.

Annoying preteen #2- The arrogant skank

This group is for girls only. They think they are so hot just because they talk about sex and wear revealing clothing, What these ugly skanks don't realize is that THEY ARE ONLY TWELVE and nobody cares about their training-bra sized breasts or their flat butts. The only people that would even show some remote interest in them are pedophiles. Which brings me to my next point: just because you had sex with a 19 year-old man doesn't make you the hottest thing on the planet, it just makes you a skanky whore. So stop dressing like you have something to show, because you don't.

Annoying preteen #3- The insecure kid

These are the kids who always dress in what is "in" and listen to "hip" music. They act like they are so cool around people, but they really aren't sure of themselves. They aren't able to form their own definition of cool so they go by what MTV and BET say is "in". Also they are constantly buying new stuff because they are afraid of being out of style or old. Honestly, how could someone be so stupid as to think that the clothes you wear determine your personality? If people really liked you then you wouldn't have to keep buying trendy clothing.

Annoying Preteen #4- The wussy

These kids are probably the worst group of all simply because they want to be "badass", but are too scared to go all the way. These kids are everywhere. They are the ones that type F*ck, Sh*t, $%&, and all those other substitutes for swearing. They are also the ones that say, "f'ing." I can't stand these guys because how does censoring out your own words make them less offensive? When you type "f*ck", people aren't going to think," That's a "F" with and asterisk and then "CK".", they are going to think of the word fuck. So how is censoring out your own words any less offensive than typing it out? All you're doing is making yourself look like a pussy.

On a more serious note, not all preteens are like this; there are some out there that are actually pretty cool. You might be looking for awhile to find one, but they are out there. Of course, people might consider you a freak for looking for a "nice preteen", unless you are a preteen yourself.

People Need to Take Responsibility for their Actions



Honestly, it seems that everyone wants to be the victim these days. Whenever something goes wrong, they blame everyone but themselves. I drives me nuts when I hear people whining about things they did to themselves, and it is even worse if they actually sue. The whole lawsuit against the cigarette companies was complete crap. All these people were suing because cigarettes gave them cancer, killed their loved ones, or did several other things to them. A news station covering the lawsuit interviewed a person. " Those companies messed me up!" he said. No, they didn't mess you up, you messed yourself up! It was your choice to pick up that cigarette, not theirs. Also, cigarettes taste horrible; you would have to want to smoke to keep doing it. Another thing that really ticked me off was the whole Mc Donald's ordeal. "BOO!! HOO!! HOO!! THEY MADE ME FAT!!!!!!" Give me a break. No one put a gun to your head and forced you to eat at Mc Donald's. Even if you did have eat there, there were several things you could do to balance out the calories.

People like this are every common on the internet. I have read a few of my friends' hate mails and can say that I'm pretty disgusted with the intelligence (or lack thereof) of some people. People are actually writing e-mail to websites telling them to take their sites down just because the websites offend them. To me the answer is simple: if you don't like it, don't read it. I'm sure it would take up less of your time to not read something than to shoot off a hate mail whining about it. Also some concerned parents don't want their children looking at certain websites, but they decide to fuss at the webmaster instead of disciplining their children. This ties into another issue, namely child punishment. Most of these kids with ADD, ADHD, ODD, Bi-polarity, etc. are really just spoiled children with parents looking for an excuse not to raise them properly. Sure, it's easier just to have some quack slap a mental or emotional disorder on your child than get some guts and discipline them, but is it that hard to punish a child? It's cheaper, that's for sure. If you aren't going to do the job right, then put your kids up for adoption.

Back on subject, here are a few e-mails from "victims."

This one is to the owner of a popular videogame parody site:

I would like to say that the woman in this e-mail is a bit more mellow than most but still....

Now comes my beef. There's no content warnings on the site anywhere..and I'll tell you why this is bothering me. My 4 year old is a total Mario addict..loves him to death. We found your site today and were cruising around looking at this and that on the site, some of the content was definately not something I would let him look at ..but just from reading the little explanations I could pretty much figure out which ones were safe for his eyes to view. For example we loved the Mac Daddy ones( he can't read so he was able to watch the Luigi one too..lol). The problem came when we watched the Return to the Mushroom Kingdom one. I clicked it thinking ..cool..one i can download and he can watch whenever. So we started it up..nice graphics..well made...then Mario died. Well..ok he dies all the time in the games..no biggie right? Well...then the funeral started.

My son freaked. All he will do today is cry. His hero is dead.

Now..I in no way wish to censor you or your site. I think your work is wonderfully done. But ...it is a site where kids will wander on to it..or unsuspecting parents will think all is well. Can i ask you to maybe put a warning of some type ..as in graphic content..sexuality for those who fit the bill on that one..etc on there? Specific to each file would be what I personally would prefer. Then you could weed out what's offensive to you or to your kids etc and go from there.
I know this probably sounds like an oversensitive mother freaking out ..but honestly..my kid is traumatized..may sound stupid..but honestly..he is and it's horrible. I hold no blame here against you or anyone..what was done is done and I will just have to deal with it and get him through this..but i just don't want some other unsuspecting parent having to deal with this also.



This is 80% of the e-mail. The rest was the opener, closer, an irrelevant comment, and some other stuff. I won't get into how poorly written this e-mail is, but I want to point out the way she talks about her 4 year old son being "traumatized." First of all, she should have previewed the website before she showed her son. Also had she been doing her job as a parent, her son wouldn't have been "traumatized" in the first place. Also if her son is getting this upset over a 16-bit character dying, I would hate to see him if he were to watch "The Lion King" or any of those other movies where animals die. Also she should be trying to comfort her child instead of shooting off hate mail.

Also the TV, movie, and gaming industries have come under fire because kids are doing foolish things that they see on videogames and TV shows. The creators of Grand Theft Auto are being sued because two kids decided to get on the road and shoot people. It's not Sony's fault that those kids did that. Sony did not knock on their door, throw them some guns, and force them to go on the road and shoot people. The real people to blame here are the parents; the media is just a scapegoat. This goes back to what I said earlier, if the parents of those kids had been doing a good job, this would have never happened in the first place.

What the hell is wrong with people these days?

oh and creepy pic of the day.

if youre wondering, yes i drew that, and yes its my character, IM me or comment for morfe info

Well, to record my days events, Lets just start with the fact that this morning, i did about three shots of Nyquill because i felt like shit and i thought it might be funny.
Now past that, I was called to go to the mall, and when I got there, I was greeted by the spaced-looking Jamshid, and after a heated disscsion about what swords looked awesome in the Cheasepeake knife & tool, I believe i met up with a friend of his i hadnt met before, "loki". After waiting about 30 mins in the skylight section of the mall discussing hobbits, wrist-slitting, how much of whatever did what to you, and whatnot, I belive the discussion turned to that marylin mansons wierd eye was "sexy" as she so eloquently put it. Now, if I were bi, im not sure even then i would find that "sexy" dont think im dissing manson, hes fucking awesome, but I would consider that eye "awesomely creepy", but not "sexy". I left the mall, blah blah, and ended up fishing with a laundry hamper in the middle of the woods with rob. How this happened, Im not sure, but Im placing a fair bet on boredom. Left woods, blah blah, and now im here typing this asinine report. To whom you ask, nobody in particular.

Now on to something completely different, as you all know, I act nothing like this in real life, I act kinda stoned and/or jumpy. THe reason for this is that I probably am actually stoned and/or on stims. now you know.

goodbye.

oh and, creepy pic of the day

Im uo to my neck in homework shit, but then I should probably work on that instaed of writing here..... oh well. Nothing to report on the frontlines on this gloomy day. Except for my arm. oh how i treasure this arm. today i have doodled and written all up to my bicep on my right arm.....however, i made the mistake of letting poeple sign my left arm, which was a grave mistake. The first was ok, a kid was simply writing his e-mail adress down, but then the horror, another friend of mine wrote "taty was here" on my arm rather harshly. When i attempted to wash it off after i got home, I had found that alot of the ink had dug its way into my skin. now I have "taty was her imprinted into my fucking arm for a week or more........this gives the picture to people who bother to read my arm that I am somehow the property of Taty.....which im not, I am purely the propery of michelle, of which reason is because she was able to get us ozzfest tickets.
