Parents, The Drive-You-To-Do-Them Drug
Welcome to Nisstyre's Corner, my personal little piece of blog that's basically my bitching and ranting over things in this world, that just make me want to scream and hide, which I do anyways. Many of you may know me as Nisstyre from the popular text based game known as Waterdeep, those games being called MUDs, and yes, compared to your graphical Everkrak World of Warcraft Halo Unreal online worlds, its old school fun. Others may know me as DeathSquad, freakish GTA3/VC Ameatur Mod Builder off the GTAForums and possibly other venues on the internet. That's basically what I do on the net, Mud and GTA, if I had a broadband modem, which is not supported in my couple mile radius, I may be doing other things.
The entire purpose of this blog, cause I have a few, is to rant and rave about this shithole known as Planet Earth, a place that is lovely and horrid at the same time, enough to make me wish I could go to another planet, but we'd just anally rape that like we've done here. I will rant about many different things, from the Anti-Drug Commericals on Pot, to our beloved Mr.Potato Head and Daddy's Meat Puppet, President Bush. Or just things I find in the news that make me want to scream and rant, such as Janet Jackson's Floppy Old Dog that everyone just went nuts over (grow up America, Japanense people see tits all the time and THEY don't threaten those people with prison).
This first entry is somewhat of a rewrite of an old Nisstyre's Corner done about a year ago, on a regular crap HTML page, and not this lovely blog system that a dear and lovely lady by the name of Strega/Webkittyn has created for all of us, with his blood, sweat and stress. If you don't have a blog, get one, they're great for ranting.
This entry is about the Anti-Drug Commericals you see on TV, you'd think the government would have something better to do than to pick on Drug-Addicts, but I have a point, so please, sit back and listen to me rant.
Parents, The Anti-Drug....what a crock of shit. If anything pestering your children about drugs will just DRIVE them to do drugs, just so they can drown out your obessive bitching about them doing them. I cannot say that I am Pro-Drug here, at least not all drugs, so lets set the rules.
POT, Probably the oldest used drug, mainly what my rant is about, I'm Pro-Pot.
COCAINE, I'm Against, mainly for the fact I've seen way too many friends and people get caught into this web, maybe once in awhile do it, but apparently its really addicting, as said, seen friends basically burn money by snorting it up their nose, or other ways.
HERION, nasty drug, I've learned via word that you constantly itch when on this, don't see why you'd use it.
MORPHINE, don't know anything about it really, but I'd say against, addicting as hell.
METH...Big Screaming No, anything you take that's made from cooking a bunch of household chemicals like Drain-O and Ammonia, not even house ammonia, farm grade, big no.
MUSHROOMS, Never done them, don't know if I could eat them, I don't even like shrooms on a pizza or in any form, but I'd say Pro, they've always sounded like fun, and I may try them someday.
LSD, This I've tried, and its one of my favorite memories, but I'm kind of iffy on this, because its home-made and could be dangerous if not made right, plus god knows unless you have it in liquid form, how many drops they put on that piece of paper or sugar cube, or whatever you eat it from.
X, Fun drug, but I'm unsure if I'd say go for it, I've heard it eats large parts of your brain, plus the constant drinking to keep yourself moist and shit, I'd say avoid it, maybe try it with an experienced friend.
And I'm sure there are many other drugs I haven't listed, but those are the ones that come directly to mind, and what I think of them. To put it in a list, I was a pothead (I'll get to that in a minute), done LSD twice and even driving home on it, and done X once in a car ride, I wasn't driving but I acted like Jim Carey in Dumb & Dumber (When he's pretending to jog in the van while its moving) for 150 miles. Heh. Ok, the main point of this rant is about the Pot Commericals I see, so let me rant about this.
Why the hell is our government and whatever right-wing freaks spending money on Anti-Pot Commericals. What is so bad about pot, yes I've heard smoking a joint is apparently like smoking a pack of cigarettes at once, I won't disagree nor will I agree with that. But what the hell do pot heads do in this society that makes it so bad, compared to the other drugs.
People on hardcore drugs, Morphine, Herion, Cocaine, and even Krak, do horrid things in this world, most of them anyways. Lie, cheat, steal, break into your house, break into stores, your car, beat people for money, just so they can have one more lick of the candy. I forgot Meth in that too. I mean, all these hardcore drugs you see, usually are followed by some sort of violence. Krak rots your teeth, see Bum-Wars or whatever that video was called were the guys paid bums to fight each other and do horrid stuff. These drugs are horrible in my opinion, its almost like What The Fuck Are You Thinking when doing these drugs, besides feeling good.
Then you have the potheads. Yes, its a gateway drug *vague stroking motion*, its only a gateway because you're curious about other drugs. Hey, smoking pot may have lead me to do LSD and X, but did I suddenly become an Acid Head or an X Freak, NO.
So what the hell do potheads do that are so bad, that we deserve to be punished by commericals all the time, what in gods name did we do, besides toke the bowl? Now yes, there will always be bad seeds in any group, so yes, violence happens cause of pot, robbering people happens because of pot, but you know what, its a hell of alot less than the krak-heads, I'd almost say probably 1 pothead does something violent VESUS 300 Krak-Heads doing something violent.
I mean what do we do, we sit on our asses, look at colorful stuff, maybe write and do art like things, watch cool movies, hang out with our friends, and do nothing against society. Yes, I always hated that stereotypical stupid "dude" pothead running around that you see in the movies, that isn't true for the most part. Yes people like that will always excist, but 99.9% of the time, my friends, even my best friends could not tell I was high, the only clue was I talked alot, where usually I'm just a quiet and laid back guy. That was the only clue, besides dilated pupils and maybe a little redness to my eyes.
And before I go any further, I will recap on me saying "I was a pothead", because unfortunatly I am no longer in the 420 world. I have spent the last few months sober, because of my career choice. I had to go pick the one career that gets you drug tested over and over and over until its no longer funny, truck driving. The DOT (Department of Transport) is really picky about drug addicts driving 40 ton vehicles down the road, and I can't say that I don't blame them in one part. There is alot of people who do get really stupid off smoking, and even shouldn't be driving. I for one could drive easily while high, and I'll even say this much, even if I could smoke I SURE AS HELL would not be driving a tractor trailer down the road stoned. Those things you need to be alert in, long vehicle, takes a football field to stop it completely, many blind spots. But since I can't even smoke when not driving, I must leave 420 behind, until I hopefully get a job in the future with a factory, which pays as good and doesn't drug test you after being hired.
Back to the point, we potheads do nothing to this world, and we're abused more than any other drug on the face of the planet. Let's do the commericals. You all know them, and either love or hate them, Parents, The Anti-Drug Commericals. So let me talk about each one, because they don't even represent potheads right, which of course is what the government wants.
COMMERICAL I: Daddy's Rich Son
You've seen this one, its an older one now, but its two kids sitting in Daddy's Den, one holding a smoldering bong. They flash over the scene three times, and in the end, the kid at the desk goes "Hey, look at what I found" and has a loaded gun, and blows his friend away. Could it happen, why yes it could, but...
First off look at the fucking office, now I mean I know a good amount of people who are in the same Class as myself, lower-middle-higher-class or whatever the hell you want to call it. The office to me says "Rich Person" all over it, wood panel walls, big oak desk, big ass chair. Rich little fucking kids smoking a bong and playing with DADDY'S LOADED GUN. Did pot kill them, maybe, they were 13 and shouldn't have been smoking anyways, I say you gotta be at least 15 to smoke, get a little maturity into ya, and let your brain fully develope it before frosting it with THC. You want to know the real point to this commerical, PEOPLE SHOULD NOT HAVE LOADED GUNS AROUND. I know a couple of gun nuts, do they keep their gun loaded in an unlocked desk. NO. They keep the gun in a locked box, which is in another locked box, and the bullets are on the other side of the house in another locked box. Point, don't leave your rich ass loaded gun laying around for your brat of a kid to pick up and accidently pull the hair trigger on. NEXT!
COMMERICAL 2: Drug-Thru
I'm sure we've all seen this one too, back when they keep showing three of the same scenes over and over, having the last one show WHY POT IS EVIL...Shows a couple of guys smoking a joint (by the obvious billowing smoke out the car windows) in a drive thru getting something to eat. Third time they forgot the money, and they floor the car out of the place and run over the poor little girl riding her bike on the sidewalk......
Ok, first off, I'm sure people do it, but who would be smoking a joint in daylight, in the public, at a drive-thru. Now I live in a small town, so that's not a good idea, but I guess it could happen. Personally you should smoke it beforehand, makes the food taste all that better, but also there is ye old food kills your buzz. Second, I have never seen someone drive down the road smoking anything, having the smoke fill the car like Cheech and Chong while it pours forth from the windows, the open windows. Ok, I've seen it once with my old man, but I think it was more the cigarette he was smoking afterwards with the windows UP, not down. Most people I know roll their windows down, who in their right mind would let the smell of pot saturate their car so Mr.Police Officer can obviously smell it. Stupid commerical, NEXT.
COMMERICAL 3: Test Dummies
I can't even comment on this commerical, its just stupid, the one with the crash test dummies smoking a joint, the entire commerical goes backwards. If you can't drive and smoke, don't smoke. This goes with Commerical 2, some people can't drive while smoking, others can like myself, but I'm not going to rant on about this one, it was just a stupid commerical.
COMMERICAL 4: The Pregnacy Test
Ok, this is another I just don't want to bother commenting on, it shows Ma and Pa watching a Pregnacy Test, and it comes out positive. They sign, and turn around and tell their 15 year old daughter she is pregenant, all because she got high. Pot is not a date rape drug, nor does it make you black out, and do stupid shit (well, stupid in fucking someone without a condom type shit). If I'm stoned all day, I can tell you the next day what I did. Could I tell you a week later, no, but who even sober can remember what exactly they did a week ago.
Point? Bad Parents, maybe your daughter should have kept her LEGS CROSSED. Pot didn't make her fuck someone, she fucked that guy on her own free will, cause she wanted the cock.
COMMERICAL 5: Passed Out Party
Another "can't rewind life" type of shit. Shows a girl passed out with a cup of beer, rewinds to her puking in a toilet, rewinds to her and a bunch of friends sitting in a car at some deserted place, smoking a J. Do I really need to talk about this. Did she pass out from the pot, maybe. Can you pass out on pot, yes, its called Over-Dosing which unlike hardcore drugs, you just get tired and fall asleep, nothing else. I'm sure you could kill yourself with it, but damn you'd have to inhale a 55 gallon drum at once or something. No, point is, she should have not drank so much, she passed out cause she was a drunken whore.
COMMERICAL 6: Slamming Doors
Ok, at this point I'm just like, why should I even bother pointing this crap out. Shows a Ma and Pa slamming the door at each other, screaming "Its my life" and other bullshit. Will that happen if you confront her, yes. Will that happen if you confront her about that slutty dress, yes. Will that happen if you tell her she can't go out past 9pm, yes. Will that happen if you tell her she can't drink at her age, yes. Stupid ass commerical.
COMMERICAL 7: Can you tell your team....
Bleh, why the hell should I go over this. If you're playing a sport and you do wish to win, you wouldn't be getting high, numbs your senses, you'd smoke afterwards. Personally I haven't meet too many potheads who were in team sports.
Ok, I'm done with the commericals, so what have we learned today? Nothing, except that the world needs to go fuck itself, mainly those Anti-Fuckhead People who make these commericals. Yes I am a souless bastard, and can think and say the meanest things. I've always said, if I had one wish to remove the annoyances of the world by switching those people with the poor innocent souls lost in the WTC, I would. The Anti-People would be there, along with Truth.Com bunch of communist bastards, Disney World and the creator of Reality TV. Parents are NOT the Anti-Drug, Parents are more the reason to DRIVE your kids to do drugs, so they can not listen to you, drown your voice out and try to adapt from going from a kid to an adult, like all teenagers do.
God these commericals just burn the living shit out of my ass, makes me want to kill someone, which isn't good. How about we spend that money on Anti-Meth commericals, maybe show all the things used to make it, like a big jug of drain-o. Or an Anti-Krak commerical, show the guy from Bum-Fights pulling his tooth out and saying "Oooo, that's ready to be smoked", or even that guy taking a krak-head shit on a newspaper. Show the morphine addict going into seizures with the dirty needle hanging out his arm. Show someone on X burning their brain and drinking so much water that they drown their own atoms and cells. So, get a life Anti-People, there are bigger things to fry, like the hardcore drugs. Pot in my opinion is no worse than beer or cigarettes, but hey, those are legal. How many potheads ram headon into people versus the drunken morons who don't know enough to take a taxi. Personally they should give you a special license to drive stoned, or maybe even drunk. I've found many stoner friends could drive as well sober, stoned, while drunk. But that's a touchy line, I for one have never ever driven drunk, er well, maybe a couple of times many hours after I passed out, just cause someone wanted to go home, and I wasn't even drunk, more hung-over. Hell, never driven drunk, but I have driving tripping on Acid, but I waited for the sun to appear first.
And that's my rant people, agree, disagree, I don't give a shit, its how I feel. Personally if I have kids and find them smoking, if they're not 15 I may slap them and tell them to wait. But I'm going to tell them to be RESPONSIBLE with it, and don't let the drug take you in. Yes, I'm an Ex-Pothead, as I've told people, being sober now after 6 years to me is like being stoned for the past 6 years, its a freakish feeling. Do I enjoy it? Many times yes, I find I am a little more but not alot more motivated with doing shit in my life, and I found being stoned all night, I actually kind of was hung over waking up the next day, and I never dreamed while stoned. But if I had the choice to smoke, I would, in my own personal time rotting in front of my computer, mudding, hugging my woman and making GTA things. Would I smoke while driving a tractor trailer, fuck no, maybe after 30 years of driving when I'm not even thinking, maybe even when I wasn't driving pulled off in some rest area for the night, but NEVER EVER EVER WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE DAMN THING.
And so I'm going to end this rant with an unrelated topic, tractor trailers. I've enjoyed getting into this industry, if only I could find a freakin job now. But do us truckers a few favors. First, we're not all cowboy hat wearing country music listening hicks, yes of course, as the retarded "dude" burnt-out potheads excist, they do excist, and I've seen them. I'm that scary Dillinger Escape Plan / Death Metal Listening Psycho behing the wheel hiding a baseball bat behind me, trained and paying attention to the road. But I have some other favors and things to tell you about these "annoying ass" trucks on the road.
1. It takes a freakin football field to stop a tractor trailer, it takes even more when they are unloaded, or have no trailer at all. That doesn't make sense, simple enough, brakes, suspension and all that happy horse shit on a tractor is made to carry 80,000 pounds, when you don't have that much weight, that stuff doesn't work as good.
2. A truck is very long, and we all know about blind spots. Do not linger next to a truck, mainly near the middle of its trailer, we can't really see cars there, and espcially do not linger on the RIGHT SIDE of a truck, passanger side. Blind Spots on that side are 10 times worse.
3. Don't linger at all next to a truck, you know all that rubber you see lieing on the side of the road...That could easily crush your vehicle and your skull when it comes whipping off the rim. So lingering helps you by not being smashed in the head by a piece of the tire. And those are called "Recaps", which is a cheap way of taking a tire, and putting a new tread on it, which lasts about 1000 miles before the tire pops and explodes. Most good companies no longer use recapped tires.
4. Do not cut in front of a truck really close, in a car you're suppose to be 2 seconds behind the guy. For us truckers, its 4 seconds, so give us a good distance when passing, unless of course its a 2 lane road and you gotta get over quickly.
5. Don't tail gate us, we cannot see you when you're riding the bumper of that trailer. Takes about half the length of the trailer before we can see behind us.
6. If you're walking around and a truck is backing up to a loading dock or something, do not walk behind the truck. First we cannot see a whole lot behind us, second, we cannot feel you go under our back tires when we do run you over, you as in a human or you in your car. So we sure as hell are not going to stop.
7. Don't do as we say "tell us we're number one" by pointing that out with your middle finger. Remember, we're at least 30,000 pounds of vehicle, and we're more likely to survive running your puny honda over.
8. Don't be an ass when a truck is backing up somewhere and taking up the entire road. What's your fucking hurry, how about you try to backup and 50-60-70 foot vehicle that bends, and see how quickly you can move it.
And that's all I can think about at the moment. Goodnight, and happy reading, readers.
