Kids that Smoke....
So when you find out that your 13 kid is smoking again!. What do you do? I smoked when I was his age and my family and peers warned me about it. I was too stupid to listen. Kept me smoking and wasting my money for 14 years.

Tool Issues
I am having tool issues. (Ha Ha very funny, not that kind of tool)
A tool we use at work that ironically does not work. Most times. Ever since it was upgraded to version 6.0. It has sucked the preverbal big one!
Like most tools, they are over loaded and full of things that people do not want. Like a Microsoft product. Full of bloat. I can’t wait for Google to come out with an operating system and their repertoire of tools.

I had something but....
I have been working hard and hardly sleeping, Teeth are still bugging me (Wisdoms have to come out). Work is getting to me after 6 years. I cannot seem to relax much anymore. Dr gave me some expensive sleeping pills (Zopiclone) but they do not work any more then melatonin. I am playing God of War1 and 2 again. Brutally killing evil demons seems to relax me. Craving a Pizza or a good cheeseburger right now. Sucks since I am at work and it is 3:41 am,
Ahh crap Hydro bill just came in, I thought I just paid that last month. Have Cell bill to pay as well. Satellite and Internet are next. Bills suck.
Xmas is coming to (dam depressing time of year) and I have to pay for dental surgey....there goes Xmas. That and GTA 4 has been delayed until March of 2008.

Cut Throat Razor Blade Companies
Talk a about getting ass rapped....those fucks that make and sell Razors and Razor blades are screwing us over more then the gas companies. Hand razors now cost up to $15 and then you have to buy blades on top of that. Some which run up to $24. WTF?
Are we made of money? I am thinking of buying a cut throat razor, only I have sensitive skin. Electric razors are ok but they do irritate my skin as well.
Just because we have to shave everyday, yes ladies, you too. At least you should be. We like smooth skin too.
These dam sports minded scalpers should be ashamed of themselfs. We do not need to see so many commercials for products we use every day anyway.
Fuckers!

The Darwin Awards!
Have you ever seen the Darwin awards?
http://darwinawards.com/
The Darwin Awards salute the improvement of the human genome by honoring those who accidentally remove themselves from it. These are awards given to the dumbest of the dumb.
Here are some examples:
Chimney-Cleaning Grenade
(13 January 2005, Croatia) One fateful afternoon, 55-year-old Marko retreated to his semi-detached workshop to make himself a tool for chimney cleaning. The chimney was too high for a simple broom to work, but if he could attach a brush to a chain and then weigh it down with something, that would do the trick. But what could he use as a weight?
He happened to have the perfect object. It was heavy, yet compact. And best of all, it was made of metal, so he could weld it to the chain. He must have somehow overlooked the fact that it was also a hand grenade and was filled with explosive material.
Marko turned on his welding apparatus and began to create an arc between the chain and the grenade. As the metal heated up, the grenade exploded. The force of the explosion killed poor Marko instantly, blasting shrapnel through the walls of the shed and shattering the windshield of a Mercedes parked outside. Marko's chimney was untouched, however.
"Plug Me In"
(7 March 2005, Vietnam) Nguyen, 21, had been drinking with friends in Hanoi, when he pulled out an old detonator he had found. It was about six centimeters long and eight centimeters in diameter, with two wires hanging out. Because it was old and rusty, Nguyen said, it couldn't explode. His friends disagreed.
To prove his point, Nguyen put the detonator in his mouth and asked his friend to plug the dangling wires into a 220-volt electrical receptacle.
Turns out Nyugen was wrong!
The victim had little time to reflect on his mistaken, or whether 220 volts alone could have been fatal. According to police, "the explosion blew out his cheeks and smashed all his teeth." He died on the way to the hospital.
Wales Wins
8 February 2005, Caerphilly, Wales) "If Wales wins, I'll cut my balls off," Geoff told his mates at a social club while watching the rugby match between England and its arch-rival. His friends thought the 26-year-old was joking, but after Wales' 11-9 victory over England, he went home, castrated himself with a knife, and walked the length of two rugby fields back to the bar to show his shocked friends the evidence.
It was Wales' first home win over England in 12 years. Geoff was taken to a hospital where he remained "in a seriously ill condition."
Superior Momentum
(23 June 2007, Illinois) Two Valparaiso men tested their reflexes by playing "chicken" with a train. Which man could stay on the rail longest in the path of an oncoming train? At the stroke of midnight, the contest was decided. The winner, aptly named Patrick Stiff, lost his life.
The train continued on, as the conductor was unaware it hit anyone.

Governments and the Problems they Cause.
What are are governments doing behind our backs? Lately I have been hearing allot about how the government is trying to turn Mexico, Canada and the US into one nation.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrcdnci02R8
Or idiots like these guys that want the same thing but without Mexico: http://www.unitednorthamerica.org/index.htm
This is definitely a big concern for all of us. I can see that America wants it for strategic reasons as well as the Alaskan Pipeline. Mexicans will benefit for many reasons as America has yet to attack and re-build Mexico yet. Funny how the US builds cities around the world (For strategic reasons) and does not help their neighbors’ to the North or South but rather puts up a big fence and yells "SIT, STAY!"
Canadian are pretty self sufficient as long as there is no free trade agreement :) We have enough resources and that scares me because if we do not become American they may attack us at a later date....even if we are white (Yes there are still a few of us left in Canada) :)
There is also talk about putting micros chips into people. This is a huge kill to our freedom.
They say they will take us over with our consent or by force. Eeek! Fucken politicians.
Did we not build this nation on Freedom!!! I guess money is more important seeing as how the richest people in the world have been at this idea for over 40 years now. People like the Rockefellers and the Illuminati itself. The Illuminati itself draws its lifeblood from around 500 very powerful families worldwide. Here are some sites that you should read.

http://www.illuminati-news.com/
They want like 5 nations around the world with 5 governments, that makes it easier to make one nation and one dictator government. Then we won't laugh at that old TV show "Logan's Run" suddenly it will make sense.
Is it not bad enough that they Tax us to death? I so want off this planet if they are going to be in charge.
Need a smile? Check this out.

Tech Support
I work for a call center that shall remain nameless for many reasons. I do third party work for a brand name company that is pretty popular.
Needless to say that they use us because their customer service skills are sub par. Now my concern is not with the company I work for or the one I work with. Nor is it the fact that both parties can be better managed in several ways, but with the customers them self.
Most of our customers arrive into our queues in one of three groups.
1.Smart as a whip and even know more then we do.
- These people are scary as they know more about software, networks, backbones etc then we know about or have access to the information that would make us useful to these types of customers.
2.Think that they know everything but are not that cleaver.
- These are the dangerous ones and cause the biggest stink. These are the type of people that know just enough to be a big pain in the ass. They also have no clue as to how call centers are run or even why. Someone on Broadband.com once wrote a detailed report on what was what when it came to call centers. The information was quite accurate and probably scared a lot of people who read it.
What really surprises me is that most people know that they are calling a call center and yet they wish to talk personally to the CEO or President of that company. As if the CEO would take the time to talk to a single customer when there is no lawsuit involved. Even then it is a ridiculous request. Call centers are used as a screen for the bigger companies.
3. Dumber then a bag of hammers and have no idea what planet they are even on.
- These people are usually the easiest to deal with and the nicest as they are reaching out for help because they do not know what is happening.

First Entry
Well, my name is Damien Steel(alias) and I have decided to start blogging my thoughts and ideas as a way to deal with my stress and anger that I have building up.
Lately I have been coming up with ideas, concerns and thoughts that I need to get out of my head.
I figure this is as good of a place as any.
~... because you were created for great things ~
