d3dk0w replied to your post: I did it. Yay for me. First non-shades icon in two years :)
I go back...
I go back and forth with mine but I honestly feel the money with booze shot is my winning shot. eh I've followed you long enough that I will still recognize you… just don't change the name!
Never. People change their names all the time on here and I get lost. I want something concrete. The longer I'm Early Onset of Night, the stronger I am. I'm making a fucking monument :)
So I went out to a real live bar and drank several beers.
It was close by to facilitate walking. No DUIs for this guy. Plus, I'd really hate to kill someone or something. I can walk.
The place I went was a motel with a bar stuck to it. It's just over there, on the other side of the gas station by the Sonic. I went in there and drank alone because I am very similar to George Thorogood. Like George when I drink alone, I too prefer to be by myself.
The place was a dump. Stained carpet from the 70s. Dated, dated, dated….and dirty. Smelly even. There were 2 or 3 people in there all really super old. Clearly, they had been coming there since the 70s.
I sat at the bar and sucked down 6 or 8 beers and walked home.
The barmaid was cute, but then, if you know me even a little, you know I have a thing for barmaids and waitresses, so it's old hat. I tipped well and didn't hit on her or whip out my cock or grab her boob or do any of the other things that passed through my bored mind.
Then I walked home through the gorgeous summer night, got home, and started yapping on Tumblr.
Actually about half drunk right now.
Feels good, man.
Rejected names for my son
Dmitri (His mother has a Russian first name. We thought it matched)
Trajan (After the Emperor. Full name would've been Trajan Antoninus. We came the closest on this name and if we would've stayed together and made another boy, this would be his name.)
Antoninus (More Roman stuff. I had a HUGE boner for all things Roman in those days, still do kinda. Daily name would've been Anton.)
The name I finally settled on was Hadrian (after the Emperor). Hadrian Michael. We were unmarried, so we each gave him our last name. Legally, he has two last names….not two middle names as some people have thought.
Sweet Jesus, why I have not found your Tumblr before? Your writing is damn good. Looking forward to reading more of your work.
Thanks. Looking forward to making more of it :)
I'm writing about Nicki Minaj next. How do you say her name? For you fans, it's quite positive....
(but, no, I don't want to hear her music….)

Alexandria, Minn. (KSAX) - Minnesota Department of Natural...
Alexandria, Minn. (KSAX) - Minnesota Department of Natural Resources officials have been unable to identify a mystery carcass found in Douglas County with certainty, prompting further investigation.
The dead white mammal was spotted this week on a Douglas County road with five claws, dark tufts of hair on its back and head and extremely long toenails.
Roadkill is nothing new for Minnesotans, who drive across their barren, frozen state on highways littered with the squished remains of thousands of animals, many of which were run over accidentally. This creature, however, has people talking.
Lacey Ilse said she was driving near her home on County Road 86, south of Alexandria, when she spotted the mysterious mammal. "We saw something in the middle of the road, and we knew it wasn't a dog or a cat, because it didn't have hair. Well, it had a clump of hair on its head like a mohawk and what looked like a human ear. It was totally freaky."
Ilse posted pictures of the animal on Facebook, and rumors and speculation took off. "It shot out like wildfire. Everybody was putting it on their Facebook pages, then their friends were putting it on their pages, then their friends were putting it on their pages, and so on and so on" Ilse said inefficiently, displaying a lack of mastery of the word 'viral'.
Noelle Jones, another Facebooker, sent the pictures to KSAX on Monday, after posting them on her page. KSAX then put the pictures up on its Facebook, and more than 175 comments were posted about the unusual animal in a matter of hours. Guesses range from skunk, badger, wolverine, wolf, even proof of the mythical chupacabra.
Jason Abraham, with the Department of Natural Resources, said he thinks it may be a domestic dog, but still has questions. "The head suggests a canine, very likely a domestic dog. However, the right front foot appears to have five toes, which is not typical for canines. Also, the extremely long toenails are not typical for a canine either. I'm baffled, a bit scared, and will certainly start going to church on Sundays like my wife has been bitching at me to do."

A letter from an Oslo survivor. "Your actions worked against their purpose."
Dear Anders Behring Breivik,
A lot of the friends I met at Utoya are dead and you are the perpetrator. You are the man who, by coincidence, didn't kill me. I was lucky.
You might think that you have won. You might think that you have ruined something for the Labour Party and for people around the world who stand for a multicultural society by killing my friends and fellow party members.
Know that you have failed.
You haven't only made the world stand together, you have set our souls on fire and should know we've never stood together as we do now. You talk about yourself as a hero, a knight. You are no hero. But you have created heroes. On that warm day in July in Utoya, you created some of the greatest heroes the world has seen, you unified people from all over the world. Black and white, man and woman, red and blue, Christians and Muslims.
You made your victims martyrs, immortals, and you have shown the world that when one person can show as much hatred as you have done, imagine how much love we can show when we stand together! People who I thought hated me have given me hugs on the street, people I haven't been in contact with for years have written 300 to 400 words about how much it means to them that I survived. What can you say about that? Have you broken anything? On the contrary, you have united us.
You have killed my friends, but you haven't killed our cause, our opinions, our right to express ourselves. Muslim women got hugs of sympathy from random Norwegian women on the street, and if your goal was to protect Europe from Islam, your actions worked against their purpose.
You deserve no thanks; your plan failed. A lot of people are angry, you are the most hated person in Norway. I am not angry. I do not fear you. You can't touch us, we are greater than you. We do not answer evil with evil, as you wanted it. We fight evil with good. And we win.
