  1. about 12 years ago I was around 13-14, and I was home alone (or so I thought) in my room jackin off, not realizing that my little sister and like 6 of her friends where in my room hiding......... heard some noise.....jumped up, looked around, didnt see anything, so layed back down and got back to business when I heard someone giggle and them out of nowhere all these little girls came out of nowhere screaming and went running out my door. :? pretty embarrassing I would say. lol
  2. I went to college for wildlife biology. I had known I wanted to work with animals since I was a kid. Just was a passion I always had for the outdoors, and growing up in northern Minnesota, in the middle of nowhere, I guess I just grew up with the respect for the natural world around me. When I turned 15, I moved to the cities, which really disturbed me, but I ended up being able to get opportunities like internships I wouldn't have been able to do anywhere else. I started volunteering for a local wildlife rehabilitation center in the summers, and I got a job at a petstore of all places. Then by the time I was nearing the end of highschool I was able to start doing serious internships at the zoo's here, and then the raptor center helping rehabilitate injured hawks, eagles, and owls. Got to work as a zookeeper for most of my internship at the Minnesota Zoo. Then my last 2 years of college I moved back home up north to finish my wildlife biology degree. Now I work with the tribal fish and game, up here on the reservation. I get to spend most of my work time outdoors which I love. I could never sit behind a desk all day lol. I'm also a traditional Native American artist as well. Not like painting pictures, but our traditional arts such as beadwork, crafts, and bark baskets and such. I spend most of the summer traveling around to various gatherings and Native dance competitions. The best advice I can give though is, volunteer and do internships as much as possible. Those really help in the long run.
  3. well me and my father had the same same, so when I google it, his news articles pop up when he had a shootout with the police and died....... but then the I guess I'm some kind of property manager lol As part of Property Management Services, Wayne is responsible for all aspects of commercial property operations for a five-building portfolio consisting of 347,238 square feet.
  4. lets not forget Zlad...................lulz http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kKO9h-gG4Qg I found a interesting industrial project I been diggin... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQVetqTt9xs
  5. There were marriage ceremonies long before the rise of any of these larger modern day monotheistic religions that took over. And in most of these older civilizations, gay marriages and relationships were approved of. So I don't see why the definition of marriage itself should be tied down to the Christian definition of it. There are religions and cultures that accept gay people, and marriage is just as an important part of their belief system as any other faith. To me it seems like banning gay marriage is pretty much just the government backing up one group of people's religious beliefs over other people's beliefs. I know this country was founded by Christian based people, but if the Church and State are really suppose to be separate, this shouldn't even be up for debate. The whole belief that 'marriage is only suppose to be between a man and a woman" is a Christian (and a few other religions) belief and now people only accept is as the norm because over the centuries it's been taught to them that way. So that's why many people who aren't religious still follow these Christian teachings anyways. Marriage originally was just a way to recognize your relationship with your partner, an act of devotion to each other. Only in these modern times did it become a 'legal' status. To be honest, I can careless if the State recognizes my relationship with my partner, but I guess when it comes down to all the technicalities of today like insurance, and taxes, and other crap, I guess it does begin to be important somewhat that your partnership is recognized by the government. In time same sex marriage will be legal in America. I don't think anything can really stop it, just keep setting it back every so often. We have already come so far in terms of just being able to even be open about our sexuality and be recognized, and we're not going to stop just yet lol.
  6. got this dam XP8 song stuck in my head.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=addCblZXbHk
  7. I understand the traditional value point of view from the Japanese, but at the same time, these people are making it a business and selling meat for profit rather just for cultural purposes. These companies are not harvesting these whales in a traditional way for traditional purposes. The Native American whale hunters here in North America got harassed and protested against when they wanted to take some whales for traditional purposes, which they have the legal right to do. They have been doing this for thousands of years, but are not out to make money. These guys hop in a small boat, paddle to the whales and harpoon them, and they actually use the meat within the community, and no money is made. This is something I think is good. Then on the other hand, I am against what these Japanese companies are doing, because its all commercial. Traditional hunting and gathering rights is kinda a sticky subject for me, having went to college for wildlife biology and being an animal rights activist, plus being Native American. I still hunt and fish, but at the same time there is that natural respect and traditionalism involved which I feel is important to have. You don't just do it because you want to go out and make a bunch of money selling stuff, you do it because it's what your people have always done to survive, and when you stop doing things for these reasons, you loose any cultural significance to it and you can't claim it as traditional anymore. The Japanese are also secretly slaughtering dolphins and shark as well. But the blame is on the companies. I know people are quick to start talking trash about all Japanese people based on what a few do, which isn't right. Yes the government is allowing these companies to do it, but I don't think the general Japanese population is pro-whaling. When your company has enough money to influence political powers, you can pretty much get away with anything.
  8. sup homie, if its you lol. check my sig.... lulz
  9. I think I fall more towards "it's my body, I should be able to sell it if I want" Totally against the organ black market, but if you feel like you can do without an extra Kidney, by all means you should be able to sell it if you want and get something for it in return. I used to be an organ donor, then I watched a news report talking about how a majority of your body parts end up being turned into medical products, and then sold to hospitals and scientific companies. It's not like every organ gets taken out and just freely given to some other person, they take everything from your valves, eyes, tendons, tissues, skin, and so on, then re-cycle them for profit. If anyone is going to be making money off of my body parts, it better be me or my family if I happened to pass away.
  10. If women want equal rights then all laws should be equal for both genders period. You can't even get college financial aid or other benefits from government programs if you don't register for the military. Women should have to do it as well in my opinion since they want truly equal rights.
  11. So many sub-genres in electronic music. I'm mainly into the Aggrotech/dark electro/terror emb.......stuff. Also a lot of electro-industrial-metal bands. Xp8, Grendel, tactical sekt, c-lekktor, aesthetic perfection, god module, dawn of ashes and others http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cmMDzu8cMJU http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8hE-elBqfTc
  12. Apparently the strategy for classic pking now, is getting a large team, maybe 8-10 people (and mostly autoed accounts), with several staffers, then sit and team up on Swifty, dsm and Kdog all day. No one wants to 1 on 1 anymore. Then they team you, wall, log and bank, come back and talk about how they OWNED you. Nothing will ever replace all the f2p clan pking wars and events.
  13. In my culture (Native American), homosexuality has always been accepted. They were actually looked upon pretty highly as having male and female powers and what not (the actual term we use to describe gay/lesbian people is 'two-spirited'), and played important roles in the community. Some tribes even had multiple genders besides male and female, kind of a strange concept for some to understand. Pretty much every culture at one time accepted homosexuality, I challenge anyone to really find cultures at one time who didn't accept it. I dunno why people just randomly decided to start hating. When people started to fight over land and crap, build governments and used religion to conquer and dominate others, a lot of strange laws and beliefs and what not came to be. But yea, now today even introduced homophobia brought here into America by foreigners and immigrants have creeped into our communities now. Kinda sad how negative influences creep into our societies. and on another note, we had a LGBT clan on classic way back. Was a lot of cool people back then who weren't afraid to voice their opinions and have fun. You'd be pretty surprised how many of the famous oldschool high lvls were actually gay/lesbian. (especially when 75% of all the female accounts on rs at the time were actually guys lol)
  14. It's crazy, just waiting for pking to pick up now. The only thing I didn't like was the 3000 lvl 3's and 5's running around following you "can i have iron armor and 10k plz" Helped as many as I could though lol.
  15. yea after rs2 came out most of the skillers and everyone moved to rs2. The only people who really stayed were the pkers. That's all classic became was a pking and staking community. You still had hundreds and hundreds of active pkers and stakers. Only reason I stayed. Then came the autoers, the thousands of them lol, but they kept the pking scene around. A lot of new people did start playing classic too after the rs2 release, hundreds of them, so there was still a social scene and everything, just a lot of new people. What finally killed the last of the classic scene was when all the autoers started getting banned/bored, and they closed registration for classic up, they started creating servers of their own and over time more and more people started moving away from classic to the fake servers. So classic pretty much is a dead scene now, but up until last year it was pretty decent and still worth playing. It was a good run though. Given the choice all over again I still woulda stuck with classic.
  16. To be honest I don't think the reintroduction of classic is going to be anything like we remember. From what I hear, there's going to be set stats and items, meaning no training or earning items. People can just set there stats to anything they like, and make any item they want. That is supposedly how to make autoing and real world trading useless. Pking would be back anyways. On top of that, another problem is people made classic private servers, and some have like 500+ people all on at any given time playing. Lot of oldschoolers even play and support em. So Jagex is now talking about 'renting' out classic servers to individuals and letting them run them. The current classic servers I hear are still going to be separate and locked from the new ones. But hopefully they will open those back up to the public if they end up getting enough of a classic following by the rs2 people. Then they can open up the real servers again and have enough support from the community to actually start modding the servers any autoers. I still go on classic every couple days to mess around. Nothing but autoers really left on there. Just a handful of legit and ex-legit people still playing.
  17. pfff...I taught Kilkus everything he knows :D

    how have you been sis.... **hugs** miss u. Been like 5 years or so since we actually hung out in game together. Hows the folks doin? Ain't heard from them in ages either.

  18. yea, im tryin to get up on my feet here lol. Almost no one still plays, few people still loggin in everyday, hehas shadow, oergg and muumi and a few others. Other than that no one I really bumped into yet. Few people recognized me from classic, but I didn't know em. The only thing that sucks for me is my entire bank is stuck on classic. I transferred everything back to classic when we had the option, then the few hats and crap I left on rs2 I gave away since I decided I was never gonna play rs2. Combat ain't anything to lvl it seems like on rs2, prolly take a few months to do what would have taken years on classic. I just wanna mess around and explore and do some quests. I don't think I'll ever do any skills or nothing. Gotta learn how to pk rs2 style now. I tried but all those new crazy spells that freeze you...lol. Just gotta save up some cash and get all these new weapons and armor and stuff. It's kinda fun starting over again though, at least I'm starting with a decent combat lvl anyways. Wont take me long to catch up though.
  19. wow that surprised me as well. I had no idea. Glad it's being fixed though. I suppose though it was hardy ever really enforced much. I can't really see the travel agencies having much access to foreign hospital records or even really going that far out of the way to do background health checks.
