( This is Pete being bored. )

10:54 pm: For the Walker.
Now, for the new motto... Fuck that.

I have too many friends, too many people I *love* to be depressed. Too many people who help me unconditionally, too many people who love me 'cos I'm a bro. Fuck depression, fuck sadness. I have SOME form of love backing me, that's all I need! I state here and now that my life and my luck are turning around. No more will I post bitch-rants about girls, no more will I feel shitty because my luck isn't going the way I want it! Fuck that. No more will I pour my heart out to people who won't listen! All I need are my family and my close friends, fuck the rest of the world! Back to the old-style Pete, the one my friends faintly remember! Back to laughing more often, telling more jokes, and being a generally happy son of a bitch! To depression, to unrequited love, to needless emotional pain, to listening to people who don't mean shit...Fuck that, I say! FUCK THAT.

There, my friends, is my love of emotion. Of real, honest emotion. I know so many people who are loyal, caring friends. So many people who would help me out of a jam without a second thought. That's love, ladies and gentlemen I don't know that might be reading this. I've had my heart ripped out and stepped on more times than I'd like to mention, but I always, ALWAYS have people to help me get back on my feet, to help me feel good. I hurt no longer, because the love of my family, whether they be by blood or by honor, has helped me grow stronger. And to which I say... thank you. All of you who have ever helped me.

Even though the offer always stands, I hope I never need to help any of you out of the pits of despair. Take the Fridge route, ladies and gentlemen. If you need my help for anything, have me make your wedding to your significant other an official thing. Much better that way.

11:26 pm: Well, I'm not dead.
I feel like it, but I'm not.

Man arrested after fire at his store
Firefighters find shotgun and acetylene and oxygen tanks in Port Richmond business, according to police

A New Jersey man was arrested yesterday after firefighters found a shotgun and a stolen FDNY battery charger in his Port Richmond jewelry store as they removed flaming gas tanks, police said.

Steve Suchman, 44, of Edison, was arrested at 5:42 p.m. at Victory Jewelers, located at 12 Barrett Ave., said Officer Jannara Everleth, a police spokeswoman.

Earlier in the day, at 11:04 a.m., 60 firefighters from 12 units had responded to reports of smoke at the shop, which was closed.

The shop sustained interior smoke damage, but there were no injuries reported.

Though the fire was extinguished in under 30 minutes, firefighters still had to contend with the harrowing removal of nine tanks of acetylene and oxygen.

Firefighters prevented the blaze from spreading to neighboring businesses.

"The guys got here quickly and advanced into the building and extinguished any fire," said Capt. James Leonard, deputy chief of FDNY's Division 8.

As part of a controlled burn-off, one of the tanks was still spouting flame an hour after its removal from the building.

Inside the shop, firefighters found guns and notified the North Shore's 120th Precinct, authorities said.

A police source identified the guns as an antiquated, sawed-off shotgun that no longer worked and air pistols.

Officer Everleth said Suchman was not licensed to carry the shotgun and that officers discovered a stolen FDNY battery charger in the store as well.

Suchman was not there at the time of the fire, but was subsequently arrested by police when he arrived at the store, she said.

The fire is still under investigation, she added.

Peter Molski, whose mother, Flora, owns the adjacent Barrett Book Trader, where he works, said he called the FDNY and alerted neighboring businesses as soon as he smelled smoke.

"There was a buzzing noise, like something electrical was going on," said Molski, whose store sustained water damage. "All of a sudden, there was this bad smell of smoke and a small explosion. We immediately contacted the Fire Department."

Maria Angri, who co-owns the neighboring ArtMaxx with her husband, Mark Nanos, said they were alerted to the fire by Molski and his mother.

"They came over here yelling, and then a few seconds later we smelled the smoke," said Ms. Angri, as smoke clouded the ceiling of her store.

Ms. Angri, who owns the building where all the affected businesses are located, said her store is insured.

The Molskis said they, too, have insurance.

Nanos said he was afraid their paintings were damaged by the smoke.

"The canvas sucks it right up," said Nanos. "The last thing [a customer] wants is an aromatic painting."

And that was the local newspaper. The "Peter Molski" in the article is myself, for those of you who don't know my real name. Isn't that lovely? >>; Now you know where the fuck I haven't been... at work. Where HAVE I been? Sick in bed, mostly. I've been feeling off since that entire ordeal, mostly dizzy and nauseous, with large amounts of coughing. Smoke inhalation = bad.

I'll update this some more later, but I figured this serves it's purpose for now.

Warning no. 1: If you're easily offended by opinionated bastards, do not read one of my rant posts. I am an opinionated bastard. You will be offended.
Subwarning: Targets for said rants are bad music, weakness, weak bad music, general idiots, and life itself.

Warning no. 2: Posts like this come out when I'm feeling somewhat irritated and in need of venting stress. I actually plan on just doing reviews and other neccassary things on here, not bitching.

Quote:

BladeESF: How many people can say..They've been through it all gettin' poverty, beaten up, stabbed at, failin' all jobs and grades and life..And that the worst thing they've ever gone through was the woman left?
BladeESF: None too many, I say.
I Am Not RPing: It's like... I am ALIVE. I'm not some punkass whiny emo SOB, I am a Rahan. Fuck everyone else's opinion. I am not "emo", which seems to be a decision made on "it's cool"... I have my emotion because of EXPERIENCE. I have my pain, I have my happiness, and I have my overwhelming love... not because it's "cool" to be emotional. Fuck no. I have that because I've lived life.

Not many at all.
BladeESF: AMEN! You're not a Rahan, you're the Rahan...We've had so much in us, we're more real than the reality! Everyone thinks that melodramatic shit is like a magnet for some real hero out there..
I Am Not RPing: I can say, safely, that I know what love is. I can say that I've stared a man down and attacked him blindly, all because of the love of my friends made me defend them. I can say that I've been totally broken not once, not twice, not three... but FOUR TIMES because of a girl, and yet what do I do? I recover. I grow stronger. >E Fuck giving up.
BladeESF: When the REAL FUCKIN' HEROES ARE THE ONES THEY JUST KICKED!!
I Am Not RPing: We've seen the darkest caves, we know what the bottom of that barrel looks like... And to be honest, we didn't like it and decided "fuck that". The other UGoI motto.
BladeESF: AMEN! AMEN!!
