    <content type="html">&lt;p&gt;Well Garcey's mom came over today with a special delivery. She had things of Garcey's that she brought over along with something completely new. It was a 6 week old Pomeranian puppy. Of course you can't say no to a puppy so we have taken him in and named him Coda. He's completely white. He looks like a little snow ball. He likes to sleep a lot right now but I know that will change soon enough. Check my YouTube account (kazyroo) to see a video of the little guy that I took with my phone.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Amor et Pax&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;small&gt;Posted via &lt;a href="http://community.livejournal.com/cosysoftware_en/"&gt;LiveJournal.app&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/small&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Let us start somewhere in the middle. I feel like confusing people today so that seems like a good place to start. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="cutid1"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A few months ago, while enjoying a pleasant drive in my car with Garcey, my timing belt snapped in mid-acceleration. As if that wasn't scary enough, it was during rush-hour on one of the more busy streets on the west side of town. As I coasted into the parking lot of a nearby Indian restaurant(Khazana's...best in the city), I felt a sudden wave of panic-stricken calm come over me. Calm because I knew it was my own negligence that caused this... and panic-stricken because it would be my own negligence to make me beg for assistance from the parents. I had been doing fairly well since landing in Buffalo of not asking them for a non-subsidized parental(read:not federal) loan to correct my grievous yet infrequent mistakes. Oh wait, strike that, they replaced my starter in said car only months prior....oh and paid for snow tires. Meh. Anyway, with this latest action-packed event with the car, I could hear the death knell ringing quietly in the distance. To my great luck, no further damage was caused to the car due to the snapping belt and it was replaced with ease...if not a shiny new hole in my parent's wallet. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As time passed with poor, aging Loretta(that's the car), other things started to show their wear and tear. While in the shop for the timing belt, the dealership was nice enough to fix one of the recalls on the car. I had never had an issue with my fan blades before, but apparently there was a problem. After "fixing" the problem did something actually start to show: my car was constantly overheating. Well...constantly is being rude; it was only overheating when I wasn't driving on the interstate. Speeds of more than 50mph were apparently enough to help push more air around the engine that this new fan couldn't do by itself. As if this wasn't enough, the transmission was having trouble shifting gears and the a/c would only put out cool air if I was in fast motion. Yay!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I brought all of this to the attention of my parents and we all decided that maybe getting a newer car would be the best course of action at this point. Considering the fact that the car wouldn't be worth more than the cost of repairs headed out way, this seemed to be the most prudent course of action. When they visited me a few weeks ago, they helped me get a 2007 Hyundai Elantra. I am very pleased with my new little gas-sipper. With the purchase of a smaller car, I believe I have now put a stake to the gypsy heart inside of me as well. The passing of Loretta is the end of a very mobile era...so I hope that this will start a new and more stable part of my life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Employment:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;When I first moved here I kept my job with Panera Bread. This actually worked well because there wasn't a gap in employment and it was something I was already familiar with. However, the experience was far more different than I remember. It was a bit more hectic at this Panera..to the point that I was having panic attacks. I know that this sounds kind of stupid to some people...how could a minimum wage job possibly be that hectic. My only response would be for you to try it yourself and see how you fare. The very fact that this is the second job where I have found myself having these sort of panic attacks with the same level of work makes me wonder about some other part of me...the mental me. I only wish I had the money to explore that further. It's kind of funny how many vicious cycles we all live inside of these days. Anyway, it was sort of a boon for me when the store was shut down by corporate for a few weeks. Our scores weren't good enough or something and they were coming in to retrain everyone. I took this as my cue to leave.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I will say it's quite nice being in Oklahoma City. Apparently this place has the lowest unemployment rates in the entire country. Everyone is hiring and things seem full of opportunity....except for me. I found out exactly how damaging my gypsy life has been when I started to apply for positions. My constant moving made me a flight risk...regardless of the circumstances surrounding them. When an applicant is no longer a face, but just one more form in a huge list on the internet...it's hard to get your story across and convince people that you do have the capacity to work. I was jobless for almost 2 months, the longest I have ever been without a job since moving out of my parent's house. I know that doesn't seem like much to some people, but I was already living paycheck-to-paycheck with no other alternate income...so it was quite a long 2 months.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I finally got a job at the waffle house as a server...and only because Garcey works for them. We work in the same store together, but on different shifts so we aren't inundated with each other. It's quite nice...and we actually do make a good amount of money there. The only issues now is that, because we are living in a $1000/month hotel room until our house is finished...things are a bit tight. The house we will be moving into is a 2 bedroom with hardwood floors which were actually finished today. The landlord is one of our regulars at the waffle house so we'll never escape him...but he'll never escape us either. Truth be told, at 475/month for this house, it will be quite nice to have an extra 500  a month to do what we need. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Because of our credit situation and the lack of any real furniture at the local thrift stores, we're going to be renting a living room set from one of those rent-to-own places. We've already found out that we can pay extra if we want to knock down the principle faster and keep use from paying over twice what we would've paid just buying it outright. But, like I said, without good credit we can't buy from a furniture store anyway...especially without the saved money. Saw some really incredible sets though...couch, loveseat, coffee table, end tables, lamps and chair all made into one giant set for 120 a month. I can do that...I can definitely do that. That, plus rent and bills still wouldn't equal what we have to pay for this crappy hotel room...so I think it'll be just fine.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the meantime I am preparing for enrollment in college. I need to take the ACT again...not looking forward to it, especially since it's been 8 years since high school. On the plus side, because of me being 25(or older), there are lots of neat programs/grants/federal loans that will get me into college for cheap and I am nearly guaranteed acceptance. Apparently the older you are, the more they want you in college. Who knew. I plan to fully exploit these opportunities while I can.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I can't say things are better yet...but they certainly aren't worse than they were.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</content>

    <content type="html">Hi. If you're trying to contact me or make subtle snide remarks about being an "Old Friend" and are somehow bitter about being an "Old Friend", then maybe you shouldn't be anonymous. Such an act doesn't help you and certainly doesn't help me. Considering all the places I've lived in the past YEAR it's hard for me to keep up with some more than others. So, Anonymous, do yourself a favor and contact me(if you so choose to) at kazyroo AT gmail DOT com and maybe we can see what to do to pull you out of that little closet-o-grief. If you decide to do that, maybe I would even give you my phone number, that way your heart won't be as broken anymore as it currently seems to be.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm more than willing to remain friends with anyone I have met, but don't expect me to be the one responsible to seek you out just for the fuck of it especially when I have got a busy life to live on my own...and it certainly doesn't make me really want to seek you out when I receive such cryptic comments in my journal. At this point you(whoever you may be) may take my offer of reconnection with all seriousness....but you better be able to remain as serious. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This random rant has been brought to you by the letter H, the number 7 and support from viewers like you. ^_^</content>

    <content type="html">So yeah, I'm moving again. Apparently the gypsy inside me isn't quite dead yet, so I'm headed to Oklahoma City. I'm moving for a number of reasons, all for good ones. The only reason I want to leave Buffalo really is because I am not a winter kind of person. I'm glad I can say with a straight face that I know what REAL FUCKING SNOW is...but I believe the experience has come to it's completion for me at the same time. On that note, I will be passing through the following locales on my journey to OKC: Morgantown WV, Nashville TN and Little Rock AK. The stop in Little Rock might be nothing more than just that, a stop to say hello to a friend, maybe grab lunch, but that's all. I'm leaving on March 6th and staying the night in WV. Arriving saturday night(7th) in Nashville and staying until the morning of the 10th(Tuesday) and arriving in OKC that evening. HOPEFULLY I will be able to leave on Tuesday from Nashvegas, assuming that I get everything done that I need to do there. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anywayz, for those who are curious, let me answer questions now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I have a job already there.&lt;br /&gt;Yes, I have a place to live and will be getting an even better place shortly.&lt;br /&gt;One reason is that I am going to be with my partner who already is living there.&lt;br /&gt;Another reason is that I will be going to school(Okie State hopefully) for Political Science and Economics. I'll also be minoring in Marketing/PR.&lt;br /&gt;One more reason is that OKC is actually a really awesome place ^_^&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, and yes, I know about tornadoes and will be sure to get a hard-hat for my hat collection.....along with a cellar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anywho, see you all in Nashville on the 7th. BRING PRESENTS.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not really.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well you can if you want...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It's not necessary&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Money will suffice&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'll register at Target if you'd like.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yeah.</content>

    <content type="html">Just a little note to anyone who comes to me with issues right now:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to apologize in advance if any advice I give you seems cold and calculating. These are hard times for everyone and sometimes the best answers that I can give are the hardest ones to listen to. Also, the material of the rant is not directed to any one person in any way...as the subject says, this is just fair warning for everyone who knows me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;HOWEVER&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;By me giving you advice that you don't want to hear/take, you do NOT have the right to criticize me in any way. You asked for advice, and I give it. I'm sorry that the advice that I may give doesn't answer every single fucking one of your problems in the way that you want them answered...but I gotta work with what I got and I can assure you that I am working on jack shit right now.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is not my fault that the advice I give may present you with some sort of moral dilemma. As noted before, this is advice...not your only fucking choice. I'm not putting a gun up to your head and forcing you to take my advice. All I am doing is dissecting a problem as cleanly as I can and giving you the solutions I can come up with in the time that you have to work with me. If you don't want to take the path that I have offered to you, then whatever. I can assure you that I am not going to worry my pretty little head over it cuz I got shit to deal with on my own.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As much as I love to act like I know everything (and I do, really, I LOVE IT), I don't. What's more is that I certainly don't know every little minute detail about all of your issues...so you'll have to forgive me once more if the solutions I offer cause snags with other information that you neglected to tell me or that I am just ignorant about.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;NOW&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;With all that having been said, let this also be known: Just because you have exhausted all paths that you WANT to take, doesn't mean that you have done everything. I am so sick and tired of people saying they have done everything they can. NO. You've done everything you WANT to do. It's not a matter of being lazy. Sometimes it's a matter of morality. Sometimes it's a matter of dealing with your own personal fears. Whatever may be stopping you from taking a certain path to fix your problems though is NOT my problem...and if the solution that I come up with makes you look one of these issues(fear or morality) square in the face, it DOES NOT make me an asshole or an amoral bastard. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Facts are facts and that will never change...it is on YOUR head to do what is necessary for your survival and it is certainly not the responsibility of anyone else. It is YOUR choice to follow any advice given to you, whether that advice be divine or mortal in nature. &lt;u&gt;As a friend, I will do everything in my power to help you get out of your predicament. But if the only thing I can do is offer free advice, then sadly that is all I can offer.&lt;/u&gt; I may be a realist, but I am still an optimist too dammit.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope everyone can find their way out of this terribly difficult time in one piece. I wish everyone the best of holidays...whichever one you may celebrate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amor et Pax</content>

    <lj:music>Kosma - Die Sylphen</lj:music>
    <content type="html">Okies, so I finally made it!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It actually took me around 14 hours total to get here...farking crazy. I've been in freezing rain before, but thursday was insane. 11 hours to get from Nashville, TN to Charleston, WV. That is supposed to be a 7 hour drive tops, but the freezing rain and very cold weather had caused the entire state of kentucky to be frozen. I stopped no less than 4 times to break ice off of my car....and each time it was around an inch thick and I am seriously not exaggerating. When I got to Charleston, I stopped at a hotel....I refused to go any further after that long and nearly dying twice on account of the ice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, the last part of Kentucky was quite the experience, I knew immediately that I was in the mountains. It was made clearer with every mile I went further into West Virginia. This place is stunningly gorgeous and shockingly rural, even in urban areas. It looks as though all the towns were just carved into the sides of mountains of old mining expeditions or something. Really incredible stuff. Hills and sharp turns, ravines and mountain-sides. Everything is also dusted white still from the earlier snows. WHen I arrived it was raining, causing everything to just melt, so everything is kinda muddy now...not very pretty.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Morgantown itself is not as carved into the world as most of the other little towns along 77 in WV. What /is/ interesting about it though is that it looks as though the town had an amazing urban sprawl during the 50's and continued to do so, but remained in that 50's still. The downtown area is surprisingly dense, and there's even a monorail thingy (the locals call it "The PRT" or Personal Rapid Transit). The city sits on the side of the "Mon" river...which is actually short for Mongahlia(Mon-gah-li-ah). What's funny about this though is that all the state signs pertaining to the river and the name of the county is "Monongahla". It's been a VERY long time and the state refuses to correct it....so only the locals and those who have paid attention really know the secret of the Mon river, hehe.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I found out that there is a wal-mart, sam's club AND target less than 2 miles from my house....along with a TJ Maxx, handful of other little stores and a billion restaurants including an Olive Garden, Logan's steakhouse and some place called Cheddar's. Never heard of it, but everyone I've talked to says it's good. I found out that wal-mart is hiring starting at 6.50, which isn't so bad in this town from what I gather. Also, considering that my new financial responsibilities aren't that high...that's not terrible. However, I think I am gonna try and be a server at one of these restaurants. OH! There's also a handful of graphics and print places here as well. Surprised the hell out of me. I'm gonna see if they are hiring first...cuz that would certainly be a boon to my career of choice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think the biggest thing I am gonna have to get used to is that fact that I am now on the eastern time zone. This is pretty cool, but pretty bad also cuz I  have a lot of friends in california...so now I am /3/ hours ahead of them instead of a much more manageable 2. Ah well. I'm sure we can work something out. Anyways, got more work to do...so much more stuff happening! Can't wait to let you all know!</content>

    <content type="html">and then I'm on the road. I am seriously freaking the fuck out. There is a wal-mart sized conglomeration of emotions I am feeling right now and I couldn't even describe which one is the strongest. I'm excited, scared, anxious, worried, nostalgic, sad, happy, optimistic, afraid, ecstatic...it just keeps going in these loops. The feeling of knowing that I won't be in Nashville tomorrow is still just too indescribable. I haven't even cried yet. I know I will, I don't know when. Probably tonight while I /try/ and sleep. Maybe on the road once I am out of city limits. And maybe even not at all. I'm still wondering what that means.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is still so surreal for me. It makes me wonder if I felt this way when I moved here the first time back in 2001. I honestly can't recall my feelings of the day...just the day itself. I think I was more excited then...certainly more naive and innocent to it all so maybe it wasn't anything like this. It's almost as if I am watching it all still. Like my mind is completely outside of my body and this is all just unfolding before me. I felt this way on my last day of work. As I was leaving it suddenly dawned on me that I really am moving and not just talking about it. No longer a plan of action....but an actual action. A very distinct and palpable difference.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love you all. I will see you all again. I am sure of it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kazy Roo</content>

    <content type="html">Lately I've been questioning my position of happiness in the fabulous Music City, USA. While this place will always feel like home to me, it's beginning to feel like the magic is wearing away. This was my very first city to live in after all, and it only makes sense for that initial sense of wonder to finally start melting away. Granted, I'm not trying to keep that feeling going...the last thing I need is wanderlust. I like having stability and that wouldn't help one bit, but I /am/ starting to see that maybe this isn't the place for me to stay for as long as I'd previously thought. I'm sure my recent break-up has something to do with it, but I'd say that was simply the awakening more than anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For these reasons and others, I've decided on a place to move. There are many different factors that went into it...finances were a big part of it for me, cuz I'm kinda BROKE right now. The other would be my surroundings and potential travel times to other friends. Nashville was ideal for a while because it's in the close to what my usual visiting places were: Atlanta, Florida, Birmingham, Memphis, and Little Rock. Since that has changed for the most part (except for Florida, my parents live there), I wanted my new home to be close to cities I may want to visit along with having a good number of friends there already to keep me from losing my mind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*Drum Roll*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The place I've decided on is Morgantown, WV. What's funny is that I know everyone is going "WEST VIRGINIA!?" and thinking of mountain folks and kissing cousins..or maybe siblings. HOWEVER, my location would be 45 minutes to an hour south of Pittsburgh, PA and is the home of West Virginia University. So, in a way, it is to Pittsburgh what Murfreesboro is to Nashville. Sort of. Kind of. A little bit. It's also within 3-5 hours of: Columbus, Cincinnati, Philadelphia, Louisville, Baltimore and DC. 7-9 Hours from Nashville, New York and Chicago, and around 10 hours to Boston. And those are just car drives. Being not far from Pittsburgh I can actually catch trains to these places and save myself some heartache ^_^. Yay!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm gonna be moving up there fairly soon as well...this will be my last month here in fact. I'll be leaving around the end of February....so yeah. I'll be trying to see everyone by then so that I can say "see ya later", cuz this is by no means a goodbye. Maybe we can plan a sexy party somewhere, who knows.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;OH! I got a new cell phone finally. It's a Florida number(amusing now that I'll be even further from Florida), but it's a contact number nonetheless. If you are interested in grabbing it from me, hit me up with a comment of your IM info or email info and I'll send it your way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Love you all!!</content>

There is a difference. So before you listen to the Al Sharptons and Jesse Jacksons of the world telling us all about the injustices of the world, think about /this/ particular injustice.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I have had the pleasure of meeting REAL African Americans who are simply appalled by the Black American community who try and use that same moniker. I'd like to see the great reverend last a single day in the life of a real African: making his own clothes, hunting for his own food, worrying where his next drink of water may come from or if he can get the medical attention that he so badly needs. And lets not forget that roof he would have had to build over his head as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are great inequities all over the world, but we must all remember those who are /truly/ suffering...because at that moment our own injustices simply pale in comparison to those that are TRULY suffering. NO ONE can compare their hardships to the hardships of their ancestors, NO ONE! They simply do not add up and will NEVER add up. Some of my ancestors were corralled into reservations where some of their children's children still live...dragged across the country in a forced move. How could anything I go through compare to that? How can anything ANYONE goes through compare to that? Furthermore....how can anything those same ancestor's children go through...compare to that? It's one thing to see the pain of the past behind our grandparents eyes, but we will never be able to even fathom the true experience and feeling of keeping that pain inside.</content>
