Edward Kennedy, R.I.P.
Senator Ted Kennedy died this week. I didn't know a lot about him - I didn't have to. All I needed to know is that he was the brother of JFK and Robert Kennedy to know he must have been a great man, because good genes begat good genes, or something like that, or something much more eloquent than that as eulogy here for a great man.February 22, 1932 – August 25, 2009
Rest In Peace

Why do this?? To young girls? Just read below. I kept a running log
that includes my thoughts and actions, after I saw this project was
going to drag on.
November 5, 2008:
Planned to
do this in the summer but figure to stick around to see the election
outcome. This particular one got so much attention and I was just
curious. Not like I give a flying fcuk who won, since this exit plan
was already planned. Good luck to Obama! He will be successful. The
liberal media LOVES him. Amerika has chosen The Black Man. Good! In
light of this I got ideas outside of Obama's plans for the economy and
such. Here it is: Every black man should get a young white girl hoe to
hone up on. Kinda a reverse indentured servitude thing. Long ago, many
a older white male landowner had a young Negro wench girl for his
desires. Bout' time tables are turned on that shit. Besides, dem young
white hoez dig da bruthrs! LOL. More so than they dig the white dudes!
Every daddy know when he sends his little girl to college, she be
bangin a bruthr real good. I saw it. "Not my little girl", daddy says!
(Yeah right!!) Black dudes have thier choice of best white hoez. You do
the math, there are enough young white so all the brothers can each
have one for 3 or 6 months or so.
December 22, 2008:
Time is moving along. Planned to have this done already. I will just
keep a running log here as time passes. Many of the young girls here
look so beautiful as to not be human, very edible. After joining this
gym, started lifting weights and like it. Much info about weight
programs, diet etc on the web. Or anything for that matter. Instead of
TV I can Google for hours to relax. TV and most movies are dull.
December 24, 2008:
Moving into Christmas again. No girlfriend since 1984, last Christmas
with Pam was in 1983. Who knows why. I am not ugly or too weird. No sex
since July 1990 either (I was 29). No shit! Over eighteen years ago.
And did it maybe only 50-75 times in my life. Getting to think that a
woman now would just, uh, get in the way of things. Isolated. I have
extra money and enjoy traveling, too, wtih my 25-30 days of vacation.
LA was the best! But going alone is not too fun. Invited to a party on
Christmas day tomorrow. Seems about 15-25 people will actually show. I
like her parties; I can meet new people and talk. Got the next 8 days
off. I should have exit plan done and practiced by then. I know nothing
will change, no matter how hard I try or what goals I set.
December 28, 2008:
Glad I stayed around. All these days off are great. I will shoot for
Tuesday, January 6, 2009, at maybe 8:15. I have list of to-do items to
make.
December 29, 2008:
Just got back from
tanning, been doing this for a while. No gym today, my elbow is sore
again. I actually look good. I dress good, am clean-shaven, bathe,
touch of cologne - yet 30 million women rejected me - over an 18 or
25-year period. That is how I see it. Thirty million is my rough
guesstimate of how many desirable single women there are. A man needs a
woman for confidence. He gets a boost on the job, career, with other
men, and everywhere else when he knows inside he has someone to spend
the night with and who is also a friend. This type of life I see is a
closed world with me specifically and totally excluded. Every other guy
does this successfully to a degree. Flying solo for many years is a
destroyer. Yet many people say I am easy to get along with, etc.
Looking back, I owe nothing to desirable females who ask for anything,
except for basic courtesy - usually. Looking back over everything, what
bothers me most is the inability to work towards whatever change I
choose.
December 30, 2008:
While driving I radio
surfed to a talk show. The caller was a 30ish black man who was
describing the despair in certain black communities. According to him,
life is cheap there because you are going to die anyway when you get
old. It is the quality of life that is important, he said. If you know
the past 40 years were crappy, why live another 30 crappy years then
die? His point was they engage in dangerous behavior which tends to
shorten the lifespans, to die now and avoid the next 30 crappy years,
using my example. The host got sarcastic and ended the call instead of
trying understanding his point. Agreement wasn't necesary. I put music
back on. But it was an interesting, and useful point for me to hear.
December 31, 2008:
My anger and rage is largely gone since I began lifting weights.
Lifting drains me but I still have energy. Somebody else suggested
running but that did not help me. I guess strenuous exercise is
necesary for a man. So I just learned that now at 48. Maybe 30 years
later than I would have liked. My dad never (not once) talked to me or
asked about my life's details and tell me what he knew. He was just a
useless sperm doner. Don't know why, find it fun talking to young kids
when I visit someone. Brother was actually counter-productive and would
try to embarase me or discourage my efferts when persuing things, esp
girls early on (teen years). Useless bully. Result is I am learning
basics by trial and error in my 40s, followed by discuragement. Seems
odd, but thats true. Writing all this is helping me justify my plan and
to see the futility of continuing. Too embarassed to tell anyone this,
at almost 50 one is expected to just know these things.
I hope it doesn't snow on Tuesday. Just thought of that. The crowd will be thin so I would postpone. Shit!
Now that I am on the topic of family and people I know, I might as well
make a summary of sorts to show where things stand. This is New Years
Eve I have time, no date tonight of course, so:
Honorable mention:
Tetelestai Church in Pittsburgh, PA
- "Be Ye Holy, even as I have been Ye holy! Thus saith the lord thy
God!", as pastor Rick Knapp would proclaim. Holy shit, religion is a
waste. But this guy teaches (and convinced me) you can commit mass
murder then still go to heaven. Ask him. Call him at (724) 325-2655. If
no answer there, he should still live at 439 9th Street, Oakmont, PA
15139. In any case, guilt and fear kept me there 13 long years until
Nov 2006. I think his crap did the most damage. Their web site:
http://www.tetelestai.org.
Mum - The Central Boss.
717 Highview Road, Pgh PA 15234. Don't piss her off or she will be mad
and vindictive for years. She actually thinks she's normal. Very
dominant. Her way and only her way with no flexibility toward everyone
in the household. A power and control thing. People outside the
immediate family like her. Why are people vicious with their closest
ones? She is the Boss above all other Bosses.
Michael Sodini
- A Boss, my brother (Mike Sodini) 216 Horseshoe Dr, Mars PA - Always
the big bully, twice the size of most others. When he bullied or
harassed someone, it was the other person who "deserved it". It was
always about him. Way to self absorbed, too. Still is. Used to like to
embarrass guys in front of their girlfriends. Lots of other shit. Kind
of guy you actually loved to hate. The biggest, most self-centered
jagoff I know. He took those bullying "skills" into the business world
and is doing good financially. He is a big wheel only in his mind. Most
people can see thru all his manipulation. He calls only when he wants
something.
Sherry - sister - More of a victim than
anything. Copes by exercising much control over her adult children. We
used to be close until her control of L & D caused a conflict.
Never the same after.
David - neph, sis's son (girlfriend Mallory Squires). Good young guy, though.
Lisa - niece, sis's daught. Attractive, smart, emotional - all good YW qualities.
Idiots:
Andy Pulkowski
- I have been in barrooms and church groups. The worst people by far
are the religious types. Especially a right-wing, stiff-faced fundie
like Andy. A condescending, demeaning, passive-aggresive person.
Frigid, rigid, linear and totally inflexible. Being a very serious
person, he cannot hide his frown-lined face. He better not try to
smile; lest his face might crack. I knew children of parents who grew
up in strict religious homes. Religion has a certain stink to it of
guilt, shame, fear, and that moral standard that always contradicts the
natural tendencies and desires of a person. Therin lies the conflict.
Young person cannot experiment with things to decide on their own and
establish their own parameters. So they tend to cut loose and really
rebel much worse than the average young person. Ma and Pa never know
what goes on. They easily BS their parents because they want to believe
their little one is an angel. Andy has a young daughter Bethany
Pulkowski away at college, High Point University. I saw her picture on
his desk. She's your basic, attractive, young girl. Please reread my
entry made on Nov 5th. That's only one thing she can do. You Andy types
out there need to further strengthen your strict resolve and do more of
the same thing! Because those girls were great when I recall my college
years! She is someone's (or many guy's) little hoe now, I am sure.
Another point about andy. How can someone be cold, vicious, sarcastic
and generally nasty ALL THE TIME and then make the claim about their
church life and how good they are? Total hypocritical idiots.
That's all for now. That felt good.
Let's continue...
January 5, 2009:
Was at the gym to lift. Very crowded. Tomorrow should be good. There is
a woman there that gives me a certain look every time I am there. I
decided to walk over and make a comment about the crowds but she left
when I finished the exercise. Better that I do not get sidetracked from
tomorrow's plan anyways. Life is just playing games. One or two dates
with her, then the end. No matter how many changes I try to make,
things stay the same. Every evening I am alone, and then go to bed
alone. Young women were brutal when I was younger, now they aren't as
much, probably because they just see me just as another old man.
I
see twenty something couples everywhere. I see a twenty something guy
with a nice twentyish young women. I think those years slipped right by
for me. Why should I continue another 20+ years alone? I will just
work, come home, eat, maybe do something, then go to bed (alone) for
the next day of the same thing. This is the Auschwitz Syndrome, to be
in serious pain so long one thinks it is normal. I cannot wait for
tomorrow!
January 6, 2009:
I can do this. Leaving
work today, I felt like a zombie - just going thru the motions. Get on
the bus, get the car, drive home.....My mind is screwed up anymore, I
can't concentrate at work or think at all.
This log is not detailed. It is only for confidence to do this. The future holds even less than what I have today.
It is 6:40pm, about hour and a half to go. God have mercy. I wish life
could be better for all and the crazy world can somehow run smoother. I
wish I had answers. Bye.
It is 8:45PM: I chickened out! Shit! I brought the loaded guns, everything. Hell!
April 24, 2009:
Early last month, we had our second general layoff. I survived. First
one was in November. When I began 10 years ago, that used to be a nice
place to work. I understand the need to reduce staff when times sour,
but this is out of proportion to the economic problems at this time.
The economy is shrinking by about 4-5%. They decided not to pay
Christmas bonus - for staff that amounts to about 8% of yearly pay.
Well, OK. Plus no yearly "merit" raise, another 3.5%. That totals to
about 11% cut. Plus two layoffs of 5% staff in each case. Do the math.
I know this firm is using this downturn as an excuse to take advanage
of a bad situation and kill jobs UNNECESSARILY. The second layoff
people who actually did work were let go. We all need to pick up the
slack so the company can cut beyond what is necesary. Wasn't going to
mention it, because of all this shit, it is K&L Gates, the large
law firm headquartered here in Pittsburgh. Just call it K&L Gates
Corporation. Most people there are OK and I would never have a shoot
'em up there. They paid me for 10 years, so far!
I predict I
won't survive the next layoff. That is when there is no point to
continue. RIght now, life is bearable and I can get by indefinitely.
Something bad must happen. The paycheck is all I have left. The future
holds nothing for me. Twenty five years of nothing fun. I never even
spent one weekend with a girl in my life, even at my own place. Also
unlikely to find another similar job. I guess then is when I take care
of things. I don't have kids, close friends or anything. Just me here.
If you have nothing, you have nothing to lose.
I enjoy writing
these entries, I have no plans to go back and edit or even read most
stuff already written. If you get bored, just click that "x" at the
top, right corner of your browser. Bye.
May 4, 2009:
I was so eager to do this last year. The big problem on my mind now is
that my job will end soon. One project is being transistioned to
another. The other one I am solely responsible, but is being fast
tracked to production. I estimate maybe a month. I am not ready for the
job market. I am ok what I do, a .NET software developer. Not at the
top of the class, but I do a good job. I survived two general layoffs
and other little layoffs they are having but keeping quiet about. I
hear things.
The problem is I feel too good now to do this but
too bad to enjoy life. I know I will never enjoy life. This is an over
30 year trend. Some people are happy, some are miserable. It is
difficult to live almost continuously feeling an undercurrent of fear,
worry, discontentment and helplessness. I can talk and joke around and
sound happy but under it all is something different that seems
unchangable and a permanent part of my being. I need to realize the
details of what I never accomplished in life and to be convinced the
future is merely a continuation of the past - WHICH IT ALWAYS has been.
I am making a list of items that will provide motivation to do the exit
plan, it won't be published. I always had hope that maybe things will
improve especially if I make big attempts to change my life. I made
many big changes in the past two years but everything is still the
same. Life is over. Even though I look good, dress well, well groomed -
nails, teeth, hair, etc. Who knows.
What is it like to be
dead? I always think I am forgetting something, that's one reason I
postponed. Similar to when you leave to get in your car to go somewhere
- you hesitate with a thought: "what am I forgetting?". In this case, I
cannot make a return trip!
I like to write and talk. Ironic
because I haven't met anybody recently (past 30 years) who I want to be
close friends with OR who want to be close friends with me. I was
always open to suggestions to what I am doing wrong, no brother or
father (mine are useless) or close friend to nudge me and give it
bluntly yet tactfully wtf I am doing wrong. A personal coach or someone
who knows what he is doing would be perfect. Money is highly secondary
for a solution.
May 5, 2009:
To pull the exit plan
off, it popped into my mind to just use some booze. I want to do this
before I get laid off, for reasons not worth mentioning but don't seem
to have the balls. After the gym, I stopped at Shop N Save and got a
fifth of vodka and a small bottle of Jack Daniels. I haven't had a
drink since September 1, 1988, just over 20 years. It doesn't matter
now, I need to use it to take the edge off of carrying out the exit
plan. I will be taking some every now and then to get used to it and
see if the alcohol effects will embolden me. Weed would be fun to try
again. I don't know who has any. Life is over, who cares? I just need
to use common sense, can't drink and drive, etc. This idea just hit me
at a point in time and I immediately acted on it. Same thing happened
when I decided to go back to Pitt full time, first day was Monday, May
8, 1989, and to buy the house that closed on Friday, September 30,
1996, to name two examples I remember so well.
The list idea
yesterday is working. I carry it in my wallet and add to it. I am
feeling to good to do carry this out, but too bad to enjoy ANYTHING. My
life's dilema.
May 6, 2009:
I started the JD. About one ounce with some tea to get me started. No big deal.
May 7, 2009:
Went to the gym and did mostly cardio. My heart rate was 117 just from
walking on the treadmill at 3.4. This should be done a few times a week
for maybe 15 mins or so to keep the heart active. I sprinted a few
times to push the limits.
May 18, 2009:
I actually
had a date today. It was with a woman I met on the bus in March. We got
together at Two PPG Place for lunch. The last date for me was May 1,
2008. Women just don't like me. There are 30 million desirable women in
the US (my estimate) and I cannot find one. Not one of them finds me
attractive. I am looking at The List I made from my May 4th idea. I
forgot about that for several days. That tells me where I stand. These
problems have gotten worse over a 30 year period. I need to expect
nothing from me or other people. All through the years I thought we had
the ability to change ourselves - I guess that is incorrect. Looking at
The List makes me realize how TOTALLY ALONE, a deeper word is ISOLATED,
I am from all else.
I no longer have any expectations of myself.
I have no options because I cannot work toward and achieve even the
smallest goals. That is, ABOVE ALL, what bothers me the most. Not to be
able to work towards what I want in my life. I believe I am deserve
that. I read recently it is called "self efficacy", but who knows. Is
that more psychobable?
May 25, 2009:
I was invited
to a picnic, and I went. An older woman there, out of the blue, asked
if I liked high school. Then quickly asked if I was picked on very
much. Intersting why she would ask that. But, thanks, I already know
what the problem is, but a solution eludes me.
May 29, 2009:
Another lonely Friday night, I'm done. This is too much.
June 2, 2009:
Some people I was talking with believed I date a lot and get around
with women. They think this because I showed an email I got from a hot
woman to the department gossip, but it didn't work out. All this is
funny. Actually, I haven't had sex since I was 29 years old, 19 years
ago. That's true.
June 5, 2009:
I was reading
several posts on different forums and it seems many teenage girls have
sex frequently. One 16 year old does it usually three times a day with
her boyfriend. So, err, after a month of that, this little hoe has had
more sex than ME in my LIFE, and I am 48. One more reason. Thanks for
nada, bitches! Bye.
July 4, 2009:
Wow, already late
evening. I stayed in all day. Can't believe there was NOTHING to do
today. No parties or picnics. WTF. No need to leave now.
July 20, 2009:
Been a long time since last write. Everything still sucks. But I got a
promotion and a raise, even in this shitty Obama ecomomy. No more grunt
programming. Go figure! New boss is great. He tactfully says when you
did something wrong or complements on good things. Never confused with
him. But that is NOT what I want in life. I guess some of us were
simply meant to walk a lonely path. I have slept alone for over 20
years. Last time I slept all night with a girlfriend it was 1982.
Proof I am a total malfunction. Girls and women don't even give me a
second look ANYWHERE. There is something BLATANTLY wrong with me that
NO goddam person will tell me what it is. Every person just wants to be
fucking nice and say nice things to me. Flattery. Oh yeah, I am sure
you can get a date anytime. You look good, etc. Pussies.
Awwww,
wait. I can just start being self-righteous and say I live a good,
clean life. I am holy, that's all Rick Knapp stuff. Hear that you
mother fucker: I Am Just Good!
July 23, 2009:
Wow!!
I just looked out my front window and saw a beautiful college-age girl
leave Bob Fox's house, across the street. I guess he got a good lay
today. College girls are hoez. I masturbate. Frequently. He is about 45
years old. She was a long haired, hot little hottie with a beautiful
bod. I masturbate. Frequently. Some were simply meant to walk a lonely
path in life. I don't usually look out, but just happened to notice.
Holy fuck. I have masturbated since age 13. Thanks, mum and brother (by
blood alone). And dad, old man, for TOTALLY ignoring me through the
years. All of you DEEPLY helped me be this way.
I wish I can
go back to 1975 and fix things. Awe, that wont work, big BULLY BROTHER
would assert his bull shit. He was twice my size. He never messed with
guys bigger than 5'10, or so. He is a PUSSY at heart. Remember, Michael
is my brother (we have common parents, that's all) is still a BOSS.
Repetition only for emphasis: HE IS ONLY A BULLY, even at 50ish! Never
forget that! Because he exudes confidence. People believe bull shit if
delivered WITH CONFIDENCE. Get it??
On the same thought,
things occured to me today. Michael NEVER had an attractive girlfriend.
Debbie, Barb, Kim, ... then I lost track. Not to say I had any (execpt
Pam, who was about a 7.25). He married a Chinese-descent, petite woman
with no body, no ass, no chest and no personality. She never laughs or
smiles, neither does he. But she is highly intelligent and an excellent
cook. I can testify to that! She home bakes her own DELICIOUS wheat
bread! But who cares about that type of small bull crap? Mike even
mentioned when we were visiting dad that "she's not very attractive".
I don't know where I am going with this. I am getting tired, feels good to write and get it all out.
On still another thought, I had 20+ years of sobriety and achieved
nothing about friendships, girlfriends, guys, etc. Zilch. What a waste.
Bye, for today.
August 2, 2009:
The biggest problem of all is not having relationships or friends, but
not being able to achieve and acquire what I desire in those or many
other areas. Everthing stays the same regardless of the effert I put
in. If I had control over my life then I would be happier. But for
about the past 30 years, I have not
August 3, 2009:
I took off today, Monday, and tomorrow to practice my routine and make
sure it is well polished. I need to work out every detail, there is
only one shot. Also I need to be completely immersed into something
before I can be successful. I haven't had a drink since Friday at about
2:30. Total effort needed. Tomorrow is the big day.
Unfortunately I talked to my neighbor today, who is very positive and
upbeat. I need to remain focused and absorbed COMPLETELY. Last time I
tried this, in January, I chickened out. Lets see how this new approach
works.
Maybe soon, I will see God and Jesus. At least that is
what I was told. Eternal life does NOT depend on works. If it did, we
will all be in hell. Christ paid for EVERY sin, so how can I or you be
judged BY GOD for a sin when the penalty was ALREADY paid. People judge
but that does not matter. I was reading the Bible and The Integrity of
God beginning yesterday, because soon I will see them.
I will try not to add anymore entries because this computer clicking distracts me.
Also, any of the "Practice Papers" left on my coffee table I used or
the notes in my gym bag can be published freely. I will not be
embarased, because, well, I will be dead. Some people like to study
that stuff. Maybe all this will shed insight on why some people just
cannot make things happen in their life, which can potentially benefit
others.
Miscellaneous:
1. Probably 99% of the people who know me well don't even think I was
this crazy. Told by at least 100 girls/women over the years I was a
"nice guy". Not kidding.
2. Lee Ann Valdiserri had my baby
in early 1991. Haven't seen her since she was about four months into
it. I knew her sister, Chris, from high school.
3. Net worth slightly more than $250K, (after all debt) as of end of 2008.
4. Death Lives!

Earthlings
EARTHLINGS is a feature length documentary about humanity's absolute dependence on animals (for pets, food, clothing, entertainment, and scientific research) but also illustrates our complete disrespect for these so-called "non-human providers." The film is narrated by Academy Award nominee Joaquin Phoenix (GLADIATOR) and features music by the critically acclaimed platinum artist Moby .With an in-depth study into pet stores, puppy mills and animals shelters, as well as factory farms, the leather and fur trades, sports and entertainment industries, and finally the medical and scientific profession, EARTHLINGS uses hidden cameras and never before seen footage to chronicle the day-to-day practices of some of the largest industries in the world, all of which rely entirely on animals for profit. Powerful, informative and thought-provoking, EARTHLINGS is by far the most comprehensive documentary ever produced on the correlation between nature, animals, and human economic interests. There are many worthy animal rights films available, but this one transcends the setting. EARTHLINGS cries to be seen. Highly recommended!
EARTHLINGS has taken five years to produce. What began as a series of Public Service Announcements on spaying and neutering pets, evolved into a feature-length film on every major animal-related issue. Writer/Director Shaun Monson began the process by shooting footage at animal shelters in South Central L.A., Long Beach and North Hollywood. The PSAs were soon completed as his interest moved to other problem areas, like food and scientific research. In time, he accumulated a small library of material from several animal welfare organizations, and started editing. The process was a slow one. As footage gradually came in, Joaquin's narration was recorded (in stages), and a soundtrack was added. Along with all of Moby's music, some original pieces were also written for the film. In 2005, EARTHLINGS premiered at the Artivist Film Festival, (where it won Best Documentary Feature), followed by the Boston International Film Festival, (where it won the Best Content Award), and most recently at the San Diego Film Festival, (where it won Best Documentary Film, as well as the Humanitarian Award to Joaquin Phoenix for his work on the film). EARTHLINGS will be available on DVD on November 4, 2005.
The title of the Earthlings documentary reflects the notion that animals, humans and nature are all equal as earthlings. The word earthlings simply refers to the fact that we all inhabit the same earth. Throughout the documentary, the narration makes the point that there is little difference between racism, sexism or religious persecution and what the film calls speciesism. Speciesism is defined as the belief that we are innately better than the other earthlings we coexist with on the planet simply because we dominate them. The most poignant question that the movie asks is what makes people a superior species to animals. We all exist on the earth together, are all aware of our surroundings, and have all evolved together. Though the other earthlings do not speak our language, they have their own languages. They possess finely tuned natural instincts and senses that humans have lost long ago, and many animal species have inhabited this earth longer than humans have. Humans are not only related to monkeys and chimpanzees, they are related to every other living organism on the earth since we all evolved from the same humble beginnings. As earthlings we should be able to coexist in harmony instead of try to profit off exploiting the weakness of animals.
The Earthlings film points out that as humans, we are using our power to dominate animals as the reason why we can disrespect them as fellow creatures. Instead, humans should treat their power over animals as a responsibility to help protect them when they cannot protect themselves. To watch the Earthlings trailer, download the full length Earthlings movie or purchase the Earthlings DVD, visit the appropriate web page on the left navigation bar. After you have watched the movie, check out the Earthlings forum where you can discuss the movie with other people who have seen it. The forum is full of animal welfare experts who can help answer any questions or clear up confusion you might have after watching the documentary.
