God, Suzi, that's awful. What the hell is wrong with him?
I hope K-Bug knows how smart and accomplished and all-around awesome she is.

Luckily K-Bug knows her dad can be dickish. Shoot even her current boy, G, knows that when she spends time with KCD, K-Bug comes home upset. Last time the gem of the visit was that K-Bug was just like me, keeping things from him. Eh? I try to let him know what is going on with CJ and all that. And, hell yes, K-Bug and I are a lot alike. Tough.
I just don't get him. He isn't happy with his relationship with K-Bug. Yet he makes no effort with her, just spouts off digs that piss her off.
I was going to call him to give him a run down of what the teachers said today - but I'm too pissed to do it tonight. Shoot - he could have come, he gets the same school notices. And dang, just now CJ asked why I was so quiet. I tried to just brush it off but ended up telling him I wasn't happy with his dad. My mama-bear protectiveness is out.

Gee, I wonder why. He sounds like he belongs in an AT&T U-verse ad.

Heh. Most of my Facebook feed is about Steve Jobs, and 99% of it is general Changed Technology, RIP, etc. The other 1% is a sort of unhinged hatefest for him and Apple products. And I'm thinking, Dude, you don't like Apple, that's cool, but maybe decaf is a good idea.
And then I realized I keep some people on my FB feed for the sheer entertainment value. Like this dude -- NEVER going to be a mellow, reasonable human being. Dude hates EVERYTHING except, I think, puppies. Although he would probably hate Steve Jobs' puppy, I don't know.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Re-reading Jobs bio one of the things that sticks out is that when Apple was teetering on the brink, '97-'98, Bill Gates invested $150 million in them.
So contrary to how capitalism is supposed to work. You know? Kill off your rivals? Yet, Gates knew the industry was better for having an Apple in it.

I just (politely) challenged a friend from high school who suggested that the Wall St. protesters go do something productive, like build a computer in a garage.

This was on the unhinged hatefest side. I am not an Apple fan myself, but now is not the time to rip into Steve Jobs. I can recognize world-changing genius and a life cut short without wanting to own an i-anything.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
So my Shawn ryan interview is totes fucked. I did something dumb, and all you can hear is my questions, and not his answers. I'm sort of screwed on that. I can extrapolate, but that's dishonest.
Also, I sound like an asshole.

Okay, with my headphones, I can make out enough for nice quotes.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months.
Sad as Jobs' death is, I keep coming back to this. My dad and my grandmother both died of this kind of pancreatic cancer, the evil fucking killer kind. When I heard Jobs had the other kind, I was dumbfounded. All those extra years of life, what a blessing. And he made good use of those years, ya know?
And Suzi, that is just... grrrr!
