Dave is back? Somehow that is the most surprising of all, and I'm not sure why. How's it going Dave? Haven't heard from you in a while.

Oh, and hello everyone else as well.

Xantar: And for your information, I didn't call on any minions. They got into this on their own, and they seem to be having a blast.

Marci: Screw you too, I'm not your minion.

Xantar: Also, Makokam is not my minion. Just thought I'd point that out.

Man you know I'm cooling it. I'm absolutely fucking college up (in a good way). These professor niggaz keep my assignments and show it to their other classes. I wrote some AWESOME shit this past year. That and since I go to school for music I've become worlds better at a ton of different instruments and at music theory and all that. Ear training and shit too.

And I got a job offer from a Fortune 500 company so I'm finally making some OK money. And I get to wear a fly suit.

And I finally have achieved my dream: Italian women.

So Slappy, I'm good. How are you? I heard you might be running into a few of my goons this Christmas?

Shit if I know... They always tell me those things and then I don't hear anything more for months haha. Jay was supposed to be here on Veteran's Day and I never heard from him.

Anyhow, glad things are good. I'm making okay money, but not a lot haha, but hopefully I'll get a promotion in a few months. Not doing the college thing yet, I'm not sure it's for me, but I am teaching myself how to play the guitar. I can't string it for shit though, so if I do see your goons then I'll have to catch up with you and you can teach me some things.

Not a problem. And yeah Jay has a habit of setting himself up with an idea or a plan that entails far too much work or thinking for a rigid follow-through. But he'll come around.

Yeah, I've noticed, which is why whenever he comes up with a whacky scheme I just nod and smile haha. Even though he can't see me smiling... My friend Luis does the same thing, he always has, so I'm used to it. He's from New York too, so maybe it's a cultural trait. Ironically Luis is in the Military too (Air Force), so maybe that will straighten them both out haha. But I can't tell whether Jay still likes the Army or not. His opinion changed every time I talk to him... Oh well, he's stuck for like eight years haha, so it doesn't matter if he likes it or not haha.

What company do you work for by the way? When you say suit I just picture you as a Red Robot Kitty mascot or something haha.

Hello again Dave even if we didnīt get along. Are you one of those people who is going to start their own buisness? Buisness is your career?

Hello Holocollector! Good to see you. Yes, I do have my own business and that business is danger. Danger is my career.

Jay hates the Army. They're about to send him to Korea. Eric too. I know Eric hates every waking second of military life... and I'm sure you'd understand my guess that Jay really sides with Eric at the end of the day but puts on some sort of face about things.

Edit Dave answer this:

I have heard people take loans to buy small supermarkets, people who have their own houses. Never thought of doing that, apparently the reason I was asking was simply put that is a cool idea and you are into buisness. It has a lot of potential. I also heard this person also asking for advice wanting to borrow to put up a Wendyīs. Wonder why people donīt do this often, itīs a cool idea.

So I am ranting on buisness ideas. Is buisness a field of lost opportunity? Btw your probably in Canada. So I am asking I guess about loans for made buisnesses, are they a good idea in your opinion. And is buisness all opportunities?

Okay, I for one want to know why/how Holo got the idea that Dave is into opening businesses and lives in Canada... Was it the suit remark? I'm just interested.

And yeah, I mean they've both said that they hate it, but they both loved it to begin with, and other times Jay makes it sound like he likes it, but I haven't spoken to him in a few months. How long are they in for anyway? I was going to sign up for eight years when I considered it, but I don't think I ever asked them how long they enlisted for. That was definitely one of my biggest concerns with signing up; coming to hate it. Then I hate eight years of my life haha. But once they get out they will be pretty well taken care of (or at least that's how they advertise it, who knows for sure).

I just randomly thought he might, Canada and the United States are both countries. And apparently Slappy thinks I know a lot about Dave(mcc). For you information makokam, I know somewhat well. Hostile I know not so much but we come from the same forum (yugioh fanfic forum). So where is this going Slappy?

Also I am asking him a question on opening buisnesses. You need to read more carefully. He happened to say he had a buisness and was running it. He could open a buisness but I never said anything about him opening a buisness. So now I wondering what made you think this?

Meh. Who knows anything? All I know is that Darren, Eric, and Jay all signed up for the military and as far as I can tell are primarily uncomfortable with their decisions. I also know that I feel like rubbing someone's face in shit because when they would go running and training and I'd stay inside and they'd get mad... I don't know. I'm just saying, I sure am fucking glad the Navy didn't take me (asthma).

Is the answer to the question I am asking obvious to you mcc, do you know the answer. Please answer back, it would be kind of you if you did. And I bet slappy loves to get me into arguments, some people like to provoke others. And he is gaining nothing by pointing things that have no ground for valid criticism. What was that he said last time, thought pattern? I was decent enough not to reply but there you go.

Haha, okay you're right about one thing Holo, I do enjoy provoking you, simply because I enjoy reading your flustered responses even more. And I can see where the confusion began, you just misread that Dave had his own business. He is actually working for a fortune 500 company, not running his own company. It was a mistake. I think the problem here is that you always seem to think I'm attacking you, when really I'm just trying to clarify... And sometimes I'm attacking you. Anyway, Dave is from New York... I think he mentions that in this thread, not sure... But that is rather close to Canada I suppose.

Yeah, the Marines wouldn't take my cousin BJ because of his kidney problems, so he's lucky there. I strongly encourage people who haven't had time to grow outside of school not to consider the army. I did and it would have been a massive mistake. My friend Nick didn't consider the Navy until he was like twenty one or twenty two, and since he had a little more experience under his belt I guess he made a good decision because he loves it. Of course he is stationed in Hawaii... But he also got to be a part of the crew that shot that satellite out of the sky a year or so ago. He really enjoys it. Glad you're doing so well though man, I remember when you told me you were like part time at a tattoo parlor or something haha. Good for you.

You clarifying doesnīt make sense. IMO sometimes you do it intentionally when not needed which is why I believe a lot of the time you are attacking me Slappy. No matter how you reason it (which is crap) which I will explain. Your original reponses this past month have not helped. Nice track record of a grudge. Even though I donīt touch this subject anymore myself. So am I believing you, no I believe itīs a subconcious grudge you donīt want to display. The point is you know you annoy me but then continue to annoy me. For now you donīt have my respect. Fix your record with me. Or just lose anything human about you. To me itīs obvoius you know what you are doing wrong. You are scarred in your sense of right because you canīt control yourself which makes you a bigot. You donīt know right from wrong. And are condescending since you think you act like smart prick (which I wonīt debate). I wouldnīt be surprised if you thought Hispanics were retards. There is someone in my family smarter than Xantar. And you know what he doesnt like to show he is smart. He attended a better university than Xantar. And no I am not calling you smart or xantar. And that in my country there is ignorance because no one recognizes the degree my uncle got. Plus the fact he is not arrogant like xantar, who doesnīt want to admit he is arrogant towards me for not knowing my English. You think you know people but in the end you donīt. I am here for the sole reason of correcting people like you because I dislike such attitudes in people. In other words, Iīll be here just to correct you just because I get something positive out of it. You make me feel bad. But you are crass and bigot, biased until the end of days. This is the best respectably given definition by me that fits you. No I know your going to add some more shit to your posts probably or you are going to get your act together(quoted).

Well, you're very welcome to your opinion. Honestly, I don't think I've said anything intelligent to you at all, or trying to show that I'm smarter. I've decided not to go to college thus far and to work for a living. I don't think I'm very smart at all in most respects. I don't care if your English isn't good. Your grammar doesn't bother me. The way you put things, and the places you put them baffle me quite often though. I honestly don't care if you like me or not, I have a number of good friends who care about me a lot, and family, so I'm not looking to impress you. I'm a sarcastic person, so that's probably how I come off.

As far as being a bigot, I had forgotten that you are Spanish. My only two good friends in high school were Hispanic. I had about two white friends, an Indian girl who was my best friend for a while, then a mixed black and spanish girl who was my best friend after her. My current best friend is a fully black girl, who I'm also trying to date (I wont' get into that). I'd say I'm actually very unbigotted. I believe that skin color has little to do with a person. I'd like for people not to judge me by my pale skin, so I don't judge them by their skin. It's personality that I pay attention to. Whether you are a genius or a genuine moron, I don't care. The way you come off with how you phrase things or take things is just funny to me and I make sarcastic remarks about it, like I would for anyone else. You'll just have to ignore it or get used to it I suppose. I'm not saying it because I don't like you. I have nothing against you because I don't actually know you. As Xantar might say, "You're just words on a screen to me." Dave and I have known each other for quite a while, on the other hand, so I actually care about his opinion.

And hey, Xantar ripped into me ten times more and probably harder than he ripped into you, mostly because I knew him for longer. And I actually like Xantar, regardless of what he said to me or how he views me. He's a good, responsible, and intelligent guy.

Respond if you want, it gives me something to do.

No but seriously Holocollector the name of my business is "Danger Girl" and you don't even want to know what goes on here. I'm paying taxes and filing ridiculous paperwork for all kinds of things... chipped teeth, broken ribs, hangnails, and tit jobs. It never ends.

Well seems like I misunderstood. I try my best to get along with the person next to me. Sarcasm is usually a bad sign to me. I thought you were making up what you were saying as it came, and then jumped to conclusions. I guess I am critical when I judge people. Right now when rpgspot was in the good days, it was fun to hang around. There are some good people with cool personalities here. I grew up in environment where english was my main langauge. Slowly throughout the years my skills got worse since I stopped living in the United States. Itīs is fun to talk to people, I was still in high school. What was not an issue there was to get along. I donīt remember if my English was actually worse. But everyone here treated me better then.

I knew when it came to getting along with people it was a challange. It is hard to make an identity for yourself (erikssonīs theory I am trying to relate). Still without a job, and fresh out of highschool I knew not what to expect. I was introduced by writing since I read the forums, one day. My family is well to do so I had all the conveniences at home and culture from having lived in the usa some years earlier. Life has been slow to pick up for me, I decided next year Iīd become a laywer. Reason is, the most well paid careers are only law, civil engineering, politics (the country here is corrupt), and buisness if you were very buisness savy.-

So now Iīve basically lost ground. And that I felt kind of lost. IMO life should be spent productively. I lost some years worth of study since I decided to start a new career. The one I studied only earns about 1,000. But since my family earns like an american family (4-6000 dollars a month) I had reasoned the wrong career. This is not a country where you progress easily. It use to be until there was a banking scandal and the economy was at the edge of collapse. It is not well documented but there was a scam in the billions of dollars. Some people from government lowered the value of the peso (that is the currency here). People thus earn very little money. The growing economy was halted, and the corruption seems to be mounting. But no one does anything. The criminal judicial system in the country means if there is a corrput judge presiding, you will lose the case. However if I plan to become lawyer I will stay away from political cases. That where all the corrupt judges exist.

I live well since Iīve been to the united states thanks to my familyīs opportunities, plus my dad is very good at his job.

This is me venting my frustration, now I am hoping when I give it my best try at the university I will be able to follow my familyīs example. Bascially this country is full of scandals one way or another. Had I been savvy in my career choice Iīd be happier. But I imagine four years down the road things will be different. And I am hoping they one day fix the economy.

So with my paltry english I plan to write, but I plan to learn grammar books ect. Another goal of mine. Iīd fufill my wish since Iīd get published. That way I could have something more to be proud off. Right now though I have to understand it will take a long time.

Also I was not kidding I had problems at home. I am trying to solve a problem Iīve had for 2-3 years. I have a mental illness but I have no idea how to treat the symptons. Every medicine I take has been failing.

My only solace is to entertain myself until I get better. I have some boring days, as Iīd like to think. Getting constant headaches is not motivation to write, nor is poor english. It kills my concentration.

So I guess you can say I am irked about the world around me. Sometimes things happen too easily at home. For one I wish Iīd live a more normal life. For dominicans it is pretty harsh. I know that while there is extreme hardship in getting the right job, sometimes I just lose it.

My brothers though are good examples. =( Which I am kind of glad at the same time. They donīt complain about their lives, and I am sure they are doing well.They work harder than the average person. They both were at the top of the 5% of their class (both live in the United states). Both are workholics. I wish I could do the same but I have some barriers like this mental problem. I take vitamins, medicine to no avail.

So basically I am going to aim to get the top of my class next year so that I can suceed. Iīve got the priveledge to go to the best dominican university. It is expensive but there are no admissions here (though it has prestige here). That should exist in the future. Iīm hoping the teachers are fair, participation counts a lot. The education system in this school is good. Is the pedagogy of dominican teachers, fair enough? I donīt know. Though Iīm guessing it is all on merits. I hope it is in this university. Last university I had 3.4, but that is easy to get. I am going to aim for 3.7-3.8 as my average. My mom says they make you read whole books here.

So there you, maybe I am delusional in the sense that this is not exactly your picture perfect life especially since I know it is not easy in developed countries. But trying to manage it.

Just for the record, I'm not from Yu-Gi-Oh Dungeon - or the more popular phrase, Y GOD - I am from FFFreak and GSN which is now PVG. YGOD was just connected to GSN and FFF because of the person who owned GSN back then.

Okay, well I read your post Holo, and I guess you have it tough? I mean I don't mean to down play it or anything because I'm sure you're much worse off than I am, for the reasons you stated (I think), it's just I'm not sure what you were trying to get at, or why you posted all of that... But in order to relate: One of my best friends is from the Dominican Republic. He's Dominican, but he lives here now and is in the Air Force. I mentioned him above. He has told me stories about the DR, and he lived in a "ghetto" area from the sounds of it, where they would just have shoot outs for the hell of it, and he saw a few people get killed. He may have been exaggerating, but I guess you could tell me if he was or not.

So Dave, tell us more about "Danger Girl" haha.
