Welp, it's official, I'm fucking worthless. I've totally fucked up any chances of future schooling unless I get a decent job, and totally fucked up those prospects because I don't have a degree. I'm almost thirty, and living with my parents again. The only work I'm good at is utterly worthless, again because I don't have a degree. Furthermore, I'm not smart enough to get the degree I wanted, even from the community college that my ex-wife's dumbass sister got an Associate's from.

*sigh* I despise myself.

Queen week on American Idol, featuring Brian and Roger!
...wait, I don't see them anywhere, and none of these people come close to honouring Freddie.  Fuck.

Yeah, few people can match Freddie though. Even though they used technology to augment voices, his natural voice was amazing. He'd do impromptu stuff, on stage live, amazingly.

Man. I'm starting to understand why no game system other than a parody seems to use a bell curve as its Random Number Generator. It's fucking difficult to balance.

What sort of game system, exactly?  Because... I know a few of these, actually. And they seem to work fine.

Also, on the Queen front:

I wish I could do what you do.  :[

For a moment when I read Brian and Roger, I thought it would have Seth McFallane, as in Brian the dog, and Roger the alien....

He has a legitimately amazing voice. I don't know how it would compare to Queen's or how to determine that.

I don't mean to expose my nerdrage, but I've been out of touch with modern gaming as a whole, and I just saw the trailer for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City. What a terribly boring cinematic with characters nobody cares about.

My interest was ignited when I saw that it was going up on Steam next month, but the available information has promptly extinguished it.

RE just exists to make me angry lately.

Those god damn kids put Graffiti on the brick walls of the building I wanna rent, renovate and possibly buy later.

Fucking....

Honestly that just pisses me off. I'm trying to build a business and actually breathe some fucking life back into this place and of course, I get this bullshit.... Think about clients and customers coming from other places, dare I say people with some money.... Yeah, they don't wanna see that shit and they don't feel comfortable around it.

Moreover, my being pissed off, I don't wanna renovate a building including spending money on tearing down and building up walls and shit. God damn it, I'm not going to invest in a place that is going to be vandalized.

Fucking.... I am trying to lift this ghost town of a main street with the corpses of abandoned buildings littering both sides out of nothing and people are not making it easy.

Track them down and pay them to do some painting for you. It's worked wonders for a number of small business owners around here.

Eh, it isn't like I have the money to pay them. Given that my boss is keeping his clients if and when I go. Honestly though that'd be a decent enough thing I suppose if I could somehow straighten these kids up and start a paining company. Alternatively we've been yelling at the police to do something and threatening not to relected the ward counsel representative.

So its the new TV?

Also, I'm really not sure how good an idea it is to get worked up about a bit of graffiti on a place you plan to renovate anyways. Sure, it's annoying, but it's just a bit of paint - and from the way you describe it, it doesn't sound super common, or like they're going to be breaking shit or throwing bricks through windows or anything.

Eh, I dunno. The glass shop nearby has a booming business, so apparently people keep on breaking shit. Doesn't seem to have happened lately from what I can tell but damn.... I keep hearing about all this politically touted help for "small businesses," but don't see shit of it.

I mean you'd totally think somebody to do criminal and foreclosure defense in Cleveland would would qualify like all hell given that market seems to be in the pickup, at least as far as foreclosure goes (if only someone would pay for it ). It's a valuable service, especially the foreclosure defense for people who think all they have to lose is their house.... Nopes, two words, "Deficiency Judgment." That can be negotiated away by a lawyer sometimes.... Nothing like a debt collector calling you up AFTER the sheriff's sale you lost your house at demanding $40K....

It seems you've answered your own question: "deficiency judgment can be negotiated away by a lawyer sometimes". Going by the amount you've gave us as an example, I'd say you are dealing with a relatively average customer base: 40,000 US$ USD isn't by any means a lot, but it isn't all that little a sum either; whereas low earners wouldn't as much as consider hiring an attorney and those at the top  would opt for a prestigious one or an specialized firm, your supposed target public could be interested in the service, but is either unaware of it or cannot afford the risk of having to cover the provider's fees. If I am not intruding (and I may well be), how would you evaluate your current situation in terms of personal repute and affiliation?

I'm locked out of my house and I have no phone and no one in my neighborhood wants to help me because I look shady. It also started raining out.

Okay, I'll bite.  How did you post that?

[Shinotsa]

... I answered to myself "Obviously from his phone" and then reread the quote. Now I'm rather confused.
