1. Forget about knives, bats and fists. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns. Bring four times the ammunition you think you could ever need. 2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammunition is cheap - life is expensive. If you shoot inside, buckshot is your friend. A new wall is cheap - funerals are expensive 3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss. 4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly. 5. Move away from your attacker and go to cover. Distance is your friend. (Bulletproof cover and diagonal or lateral movement are preferred.) 6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a semi or full-automatic long gun and a friend with a long gun. 7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived. 8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running. Yell "Fire!" Why "Fire"? Cops will come with the Fire Department, sirens often scare off the bad guys, or at least cause then to lose concentration and will.... and who is going to summon help if you yell "Intruder," "Glock" or "Winchester?" 9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun. 10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty. 11. Stretch the rules. Always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose. 12. Have a plan. 13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work. "No battle plan ever survives 10 seconds past first contact with an enemy." 14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible, but remember, sheetrock walls and the like stop nothing but your pulse when bullets tear through them. 15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours. 16. Don't drop your guard. 17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees. Practice reloading one-handed and off-hand shooting. That's how you live if hit in your "good" side. 18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. Smiles, frowns and other facial expressions don't (In God we trust. Everyone else keep your hands where I can see them.) 19. Decide NOW to always be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH. 20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get. 21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet if necessary, because they may want to kill you. 22. Be courteous to everyone, overly friendly to no one. 23. Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation. 24. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with anything smaller than "4". 25. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an Angel blows the powder from the flintlock of your musket." At a practice session, throw you gun into the mud, then make sure it still works. You can clean it later. 26. Practice shooting in the dark, with someone shouting at you, when out of breath, etc. 27. Regardless of whether justified of not, you will feel sad about killing another human being. It is better to be sad than to be room temperature. 28. The only thing you EVER say afterwards is, "He said he was going to kill me. I believed him. I'm sorry, Officer, but I'm very upset now. I can't say anything more. Please speak with my attorney." Finally, Rules For Un-armed Combat. 1. Never be unarmed. mood: tipsy music: Bright Eyes - 10 - Light Pollution |

after a recent and annoying brush with the largely innept law of this fair town, i'm researching MoVals city specific laws. throughout the day i'll be posting things i find amusing. Thing the first: Vampire Children Law : 11.05.010 Purpose and Intent. The city council of the city of Moreno Valley finds, determines and declares that this chapter has been enacted based upon the following facts and beliefs: A. Juveniles who are subject to compulsory education laws, who do not attend school during school hours, without a lawful excuse, frequently congregate and loiter in public parks and other public places and in and around businesses, involving themselves in unsafe activities, discouraging patronage of such places by parents with small children and legitimate business customers, and frequently engage in criminal or delinquent behavior. B. Unsupervised juveniles become a burden on police who must return them to school, wait for parents to pick them up, and investigate any and all criminal activity related to a student’s absenteeism. C. The city of Moreno Valley has compelling interest in protecting the public from juveniles committing crimes, increasing the exercise of parental responsibility for the city’s juvenile residents, reducing the opportunities for juvenile crime, and improving school attendance, and ultimately reducing crime and poverty later in life for affected juveniles. D. The unexcused absences of students from school to engage in loitering and criminal behavior precludes educational growth for such juveniles, hindering their chances for success later in life and also resulting in the loss of state and federal funding for schools to the detriment of all students. It is, therefore, the intent of the city council in enacting this chapter to prohibit any juvenile as defined in this chapter, who is subject to compulsory education, from being in or upon public grounds during the period of the day when the juvenile is required to be in school, subject to the terms and exceptions of this chapter. In addition, it is the intent of the city council to provide appropriate criminal sanctions against any juvenile who violates this chapter, and against the adult(s) responsible for any such juvenile, by making a violation of this chapter an infraction for a first and second offense, and a misdemeanor for subsequent offenses. Finally, it is also the intent of the city council to allow juveniles to move about freely while participating in legitimate activities during the day with the permission of his or her parent, guardian, or other adult person having the lawful care and custody of the juvenile. (Ord. 709 § 1 (part), 2006) more to come! |

I don't know if it's the blending of kids' and teenagers' ideas of "cool" or some pheromone the balls release right before they drop, but there's just something about 12-year-old boys where everything they do makes me so angry it feels like I'm about to grow horns. Muslim girls get a bad rap because a lot of them come from countries where they can get their tongues cut out for mouthing the word “sex,” but if you hung out with some Tuareg bitches, they’d teach you to tear the roof off the proverbial motherfucker. Not sure how you feel, but polite-looking girls in cardigans and high-waisted skirts induce such monstrous thoughts in me I’m starting to worry that I spent a previous life as a granny rapist. Living vicariously through your children was bad enough when it was just balding homophobes who never made the football team. Now you’ve got parents who wish they’d spent a couple years tramping around the Pacific Northwest dressing their kids up as grunge urchins and making them smoke like it’s an Anne Geddes version of Drugstore Cowboy. mood: i'm hilarious music: Ben Folds Five - 13 - tiny dancer |

have a really well equipped shop, with all the CNC, badass, mills/lathes/presses/hammers one might want, temperature controlled, good dust collection, good lighting, well ventilated, just PERFECT, right? and you have anyone who wants use it! all they have to due is pay some nominal dues per annum and provide their own supplies! they sign up via a calender program on a terminal thing, and it automatically leaves a half hour before AND after anybodies clocked time (in case things go real wrong and a maker can't come to a stopping place. and of course they can choose to let someone else go into their slot, its no biggie, all friends) They can choose to get "Cubicals" like, 4 ft by 3 ft they can leave tools and roller cabs and sheets of steel in if they dont have a home shop, for an additional monthly fee, but REALLY cheap, like, $20 a mo. if a bit or something breaks (IF their using the communal bits) they just tell mgmt and i'll give them a new one out of the parts stock (which is sadly kept off-site) that's always kept 1 deep, using dues. there will be two smaller tumblers, and a couple of quench baths and a couple of smaller forges and a couple of grinders, so guys can work in tandem on some longer projects. and of course guys can all use it together if they dont need the same machines (like a gym). i would also have, like, 2 inclined light tables for design steps too. Steel sheets would also be kept in stock, that they could buy (for a profit, obviously) (also in the offsite storage) music: The Avalanches - Frontier Psychiatrist |

On any graph, the X and Y axis' both represent proggression. lets call the vertical Comfort and the horizontal Success. as we move upwards in comfort within one level of success or accomplishment, we feel better, but arent actually getting better at anything. we have more designer jeans but no zegna suits. a bigger TV, but no more appealing a portfolio. we get to have delightful little cheese-and-wine socials with our affluent friends more but we can't set our own hours at work. we have our own office, but still put in the 9 to 5. we've pretty happy with our body, but dont know ourselves better. so lets picture this graph of our life with a winding Zig Zag pattern, like this : | | | | | | .| | | | | | so move onward horizontally, we need, innevitably, to drop to the bottom of one of these troughs. we cant cling to the remnants of our last faux-success because that anchors us to the column before. like swimming under a gate 10 feet into an 11 foot pool, we have to go ALL the way down to move forward. mood: pissed off music: Beatles - 17 - Julia |

Home from Work. having an office at work that is as personal and comfortable as possible, with an annex/conference area that has only a table and chair (though comfortable ones) the basic concept is, instead of doing work at home amidst a sea of distractions, i go hang out at work, using my personal computer, door locked, and just putter about my day as usual, organizing files, DLing music, watching Vlogs, catching up on reading in my super comfy chair, shuffling all my stupid personal paperwork and whatnot, but also being looped in on the computer network, with a POS access, to do ordering and recieving and financial bull, and being a 20 second commute from work (THOUGH ONLY REACHABLE BY PHONE!) i can log hours with a chess timer of sorts, or stopwatch, and it would allow me to both give an honest representation of the actual hours i work , and also be on hand and availible for the various and sundry things i'm called for every day, the store could be staffed more sparsly because i could always cover, if txtd that it was busy, and i can always be used as an administrative out, when a "Manager" needs be called. it also would save me on gas and electricity, i'd also boredom-eat less, all three of which would mean i'd be spending less money per month, meaning i wouldnt MIND that i was only on the clock while i was actually working! lighting and internet would be company resources that are flat-rate anyway. i would also be afforded a slightly more casual aire and more of dress. also , having my full database of files and phototws on hand, and dumpable to the server would mean i could carry on much more fluid conversations of the custom front. mood:  excited music: Prodigy - 9 - No Good [Start The Dance] |
