I'm living in a goddamn
battle field today: over 80 dead so far (more than Iraq's), rumors of curfews, shop owners and Shopping Malls closing doors, over 100 hostages in prision uprises, firefighters being torched down, bomb threats in the Airport, and I work at the Public Safety Department, literally the most sought after target by PCC's "soldiers" (on first floor, no less, right within range of a grenade attack). It's creepy. And it's not over yet.

Masked gang members, apparently enraged at the prison transfer of leaders, hurled grenades at police stations and sprayed them with automatic weapons over the weekend, then turned their rage on the city's buses on Sunday night and Monday, torching dozens and stranding tens of thousands of commuters.

'Kinhell DM, that's mad. I came here to moan because I feel like crying for no reason, but now I am slightly shocked and awed.

Holy shit. Stay safe, dude.

19:15 / 15.05.06

God, there really is a whole lot of genuine awfulness doing the rounds.

19:23 / 15.05.06

That doesn´t sound good at all, DM!

I wish you, your family and friends good luck, that everything will be fine soon and that you get through this crisis without anything bad happening to you.

I've just seen this on the news DM. It looks bad. I hope you're going to be OK there.

ONLY NICE THINGS

20:59 / 15.05.06

Good God. Take care, DM. I don't know, stay indoors or similar.

Goodness Gracious Meme

21:02 / 15.05.06

Jeesh, DM. Take care, is all I can think to say.

22:09 / 15.05.06

Thanks for everybody. Things are quieting down. I was in the streets (the trafic is madness. No buses, nothing was moving, jam jam jam) till now, but most today's attacks were against buildings and such, not people. So, we're getting control back. I can't really be indoors (I am now, but I just got back, and it's 8:00 pm), because my job is to cover such stuff, but I'm perfectly fine.

So far, 91 arrests, 38 deads (on their side, I mean. Ours: 80 plus deads, mostly cops, but some civilians too).

I don't like when my country goes bronze age like that (time to summon Conan? I wouldn't mind some help). We're sich a nice people, in general...

Madness, Madness, Madness...

Go right ahead, dude. I assure you, somewhere, somehow, there is plenty o'reason to cry for.

Look after yourself, DM.

10:41 / 16.05.06

Fuck. Good luck.

10:46 / 16.05.06

Yeah, I've been reading about this. You're in my thoughts, DM.

13:45 / 16.05.06

Eep! Stay safe DM.

13:51 / 16.05.06

Glad to hear you're okay so far, DM. Keep yourself well. I'll be thinking about you.

16:02 / 16.05.06

Keep yourself safe, Megatron.

and Bella, I meant to add, that fucking sucks - I hope it improves soon.

16:21 / 16.05.06

Keep yourself safe and stay safe, DM.

17:09 / 17.05.06

Oh no! The stocks in Europe have been plummeting the last couple of days and I lost thousands of €! That money is supposed to be for my old age, accidents and stuff and not to be vaporised by silly stock exchange burps. Let´s hope the next days will be better.

Just got the boot in the last round of a four (!) round selection process to get into the National Theatre Academy here in Finland, to do my master's in directing. I worked so fucking hard, there were only two of us candidates left in this round. Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.

11:01 / 18.05.06

Christ, Wembley. Many hugs.

11:57 / 23.05.06

Ach God, Wembley, that's tough luck.

My own miserableness is manageable and mild in comparison but I'm starting Summer examinations tomorrow and as I haven't been in an exam situation for nigh on five years I am fucking shitting it! I've always hated exams though and my resolve/motivation is just non-existent at the moment.

14:32 / 23.05.06

Let´s hope the next days will be better.

So much for hoping...

09:56 / 24.05.06

If we don't move out I will go stark bonkers fruit-willy mad.

If we do move out I'll be leaving my mother at the mercy of my stark bonkers fruit-willy mad brother. It'll be upheaval for my son and I'll probably have to get a new job. We'll be back to being continuously skint, rising debt etc etc etc.

But if we don't move out I will probably do something stupid.

And all because of...

Nnnng!

Listen, BRANE, it was a dream. It was you coughing in your sleep. It was not real. You do not have to get mopey and brood about stuff.

10:29 / 06.06.06

Searched Cop Killer in the conversation and found his 'me am miserable' thread, goddammit. What kind of a universe is this we inhabit?

21:31 / 07.06.06

I hate everything. *Collapses in teenage self-pitying heap*

23:01 / 07.06.06

Rain and homesickness and 6 looong classes to teach today. Blah.

16:22 / 21.06.06

Why am I never in the right place at the right time?

02:18 / 22.06.06

Wow, can I use this thread to avoid posting more depression on my blog?

I am so miserable...my girlfriend has been trying to get pregnant for over a year, ivf and all, and still no luck. This is one of the most sucky things I have ever been through (and that's saying something). Our doctor (who is brilliant) is away at the moment so today we had to see another one and she was rude and cocky and horrible and treated us like we are stupid (we are in fact very well informed about ivf). Last week my executive director turned down my application for leave without pay to go and do a brilliant research job for a year, so I am stuck here in a job which is actually pretty good but I feel miserable about being here and guilty because I should be grateful that I have such a good job. There is more but really, this is already too much. Thank god for good pizza and friends with season 2 of Battlestar Galactica on DVD.

You, you are not a very nice man.

You saw my little boy come out of the door and leave it on the latch and you watched him walk past to the sweetshop.

You, you fucking opportunist, you came into my house and took my phone and my lovely man's phone and my lovely man's wallet.

Well guess what? That wallet you took, the one with no money in it, the one you probably threw away? That wallet had a coin in it that was given to my lovely man by his Grandfather and he has carried it in his wallet for 17 years. That wallet was so valuable to him, yet to you it was a wallet full of nothing.

And how bad do you think my 8 year old boy feels now? He thinks it's all his fault because he left the door on the latch.

He's too little to realise that it's yours, you, you opportunist, miserable, nasty, selfish little FUCK.

19:56 / 23.06.06

Oh for fuck's ache. Deepest sympathies, Lula. Hope you and yours feel better soon.

01:55 / 05.07.06

Blah. The internet company was going to come and install internet at home for me this morning, but Nooooo.. I had to come into work for 840am. I have no classes until 230pm, and no other work to do, but I still had to be here and sit at my desk for 8 hours.

When I asked if I could be late since I had no work or class and the internet needed to be installed today I was told "No. It is your duty and obligation to be here at 840 every morning."

Escaping through Siberia never sounded so good...

19:11 / 11.07.06

Ok, I am currently working in a translation from a magazine article written by the survivorr of a plane crash in the Andes in the 1970s and had to eat their dead friends to survive (a story now world famous, having been turned into books and movies, the more known of which is "Alive") for a series of "classical articles" for the Brazilian version of Outside outdoor/extreme sports magazine.

I like to think of myself as a tough guy, but I had to stop working to cry a little twice already, and this a goddamn only 13 page article.

Here's a piece so you know what I'm talking about (warning: reader discretion advised - read at your own peril)

Most alarmingly, our food was running low. We were splitting skulls now to get at the brains inside, and eating things we couldn't stomach before: lungs, marrow, the hands and feet. To the ordinary mind, our actions may seem incomprehensible, but the instinct to survive runs very deep, and when death is so near, a human being can get used to anything.

Really does put things in perspective, doesn't it?

19:16 / 11.07.06

I cannibalieve it.
