Confessions

Recommended Posts

Was a tad reluctant to share this one but oh well here it goes. About 3-4 years ago I was running outdoors and was a good few miles from home and out of no where my internal workings seemed to have turned against me and nature was calling QUICK! So I went ahead and hide behind some bushes and did my business as cars kept whizzing by hoping no one would see me. And no I couldn't wipe, had to run back mud butt style :ninja: And as you can imagine, I was sweating from the run already :rofl:

In third grade, I cheated on my history exam. In fourth grade, I stole my uncle Max’s toupee and I glued it on my face when I was Moses in my Hebrew School play. In fifth grade, I knocked my sister Edie down the stairs and blamed it on the dog. When my mother sent me to summer camp for fat kids and they served lunch I went nuts and pigged out and they kicked me out. But the worst thing I've ever done - I mixed a pot of fake puke at home and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, then, I made a noise like this - bleurgh, bleurgh, bleurgh - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life. :pinch:

Back in my late teens/early adult years I got involved with some really interesting people. The group I was hanging out with was into the manufacturing & distribution of meth, and filming amateur porn. Over one summer I got heavily involved with the drugs, so much so that my friend Brooke and I used to steal her parents checkbook and forge checks in her name daily just so we could keep up our habit.

One night in particular was bad. Brooke, Teresa, Whitehorse (<- nickname) and myself had bought acid and meth (bad attempt at trying to candy flip without the coke) from our friends, and went on a drugged four day bender. Zero sleep, zero food and enough drugs in our system to make Hunter S. Thompson jealous.

Brooke and Whitehorse decided they wanted us to go up to Humboldt but Teresa and I were in no shape to drive because of the crash we were experiencing - so we dropped them off at Greyhound station in Santa Rosa CA and that was the last we had heard from them (it wasn't uncommon for Brooke and Whitehorse to take off for a couple of days at a time, so we didn't think anything about it)

Six days later I revive a phone call from a police detective. :(

To make a long story short, Brooke and Whitehorse had traveled up the California coast to a small town and decided to take a life. They hitchhiked out to the middle of the redwoods where there were several homes tucked away from the main road and waited. In the early morning they found their victim. A local doctor who was out ridding his bike... needless to say they killed him and dumped his body in the woods. :(

Brooke and Whitehorse decided to mutilate scratch the body and because of her "undying love" for me as her best friend she decided to "honor" me by carving my initials into the body not realizing how bad that made me look. Thank god I had a four day alibi or lord or knows what would of happened to me.

Not to make light of the situation, but I've had many years to process, come to terms with my part in the murder and move on. At least one good thing happened from the tragedy... because of Brooke's arrest and my overall growing boredom of the drugs/lifestyle I quit meth and smoking cold turkey, and 16-17 years later and I still haven't touched the hard stuff or a ciggy. :)

Last night was the first time that I had a dream about Kate Upton. :nicole:  I feel kinda weird about it. She was kidnapped and me and other people were trying to rescue her. It all ended well.

 

PS. Prettyphile that is quite a confession. I sometimes read real crime stories so to be inadvertently part of a murder case...

Yeah, that was a great confession and almost reads like fiction.  But the truth is often stranger than fiction..  I've always suspected that Prettyphile was 'experimental' at one point in her life.

 

------

 

I wrote a real confession as well but I deleted it once the thread got bumped up- Confession: Because it didn't establish a precedent.

 

Confession:  As someone who has read the news quite cautiously and analytically for the past ten years, I've learned to ignore the vast bulk of it and not take much of it very seriously.  I find religiosity (Christianity and Islam) and politics to be both absurd, intellectually inferior, weak, and ugly although I have studied and observed much of the latter as a US citizen.  I have very little to no regard for the rigor of journalists and I am suspicious of the intent ($, influence) and often rigor & biases of popular intellectuals.

 

I am confident of my media savvy to the point that I have a knee-jerk critical attitude (filter out the propaganda mode) whenever I scan the news or hear someone repeat something they read in the paper, read a mass market low brow book, or watched on TV as 'facts'....This is the attitude I have to protect myself from being influenced by misinformation.

 

Nowadays, I don't pay detailed attention to the battles of economic history/sciences, political science, politicians and public policies struggles anymore as I find it to be repetitive and well-worn. My worldviews have largely matured and my curiosity has decreased.

Like what, Sanni? :)

 

It's not really conspiracy for me (in the American liberal and conservative type), but rather an relaxed attitude regarding of how American democracy works.  It's a plurality of interests that compete for dominance over their specific area and they peddle ideas & theories as to what's 'important' and what 'reality' is. So  nothing really surprises me anymore, haha- most of the mass movements are well known to me by now.

 

The key I found was to first stop, and then do some research on the intellectual history of the particular movement en vogue and discover the competing interests in that particular field. Once this is established, the policy arguments become very banal & surface level from there...much of newspaper editorials for instance, are nothing more than trolling to me by now.

 

Nowadays, I just read the news that matter to me personally and don't take it too seriously and move on..

Okay cool :D There were a few words that caught my eye and made me think of conspiracies but now I see it's more about understanding that people have vested interests and certain groups control different media so one can't always fully believe even the news.

 

I find that the most outrageous theories can have a smidgen of truth that makes you think so if nothing else it's entertaining :D

The opinion sections of news are largely filled with allegations of conspiracies.  Come to think of it, there is a general conspiracy of sorts- the editorial boards of media providers are the ones that select the 'news that's fit to print' and there is usually a political, lifestyle, and ideological bias in the material that they select.  In many ways this pounds the same opinions through endless repetition and can influence a nondiscriminatory person's tastes and interests.  I find that this bias infects even the 'objective' side of the paper (general news).  For instance, you will rarely find good news about Health Care Reform in the WSJ....and the NYT/Huffington establishes, without a doubt,  that environmentalism is an important issue deserving of money and attention rather than being a tertiary one.

 

I have a contact that used to work as at Fox News and he told me all about their methods.  So people (many people) who read only journalism (eg. Huffington post, NYT, fox news, etc.) about a subject are pretty propagandized.  At this point, I can tell of someone's worldview based on the things they read.  Yeah, the media is a terrible place to develop informed opinions- one has to master the domain first, independently of the mass media and then go back to it afterwards to look at it critically.  But people don't have time, standards, desire, and/or are intellectually lazy. There's too much in the world, anyway.

 

Yeah, like what conspiracies?  You haven't said..
