How did your moms meet?

-the 1p3 Community

-- roxymuzak, Thursday, March 13, 2008 2:44 AM

Dear the 1p3 Community,

My moms worked down the hall from each other in a Coca-Cola Corp office in the early 90s. Biological mom worked in marketing, mom's soon-to-be gf worked switchboard. After school in like grade 2 I would go sit on switchboard mom's lap & work on my math homework while she transferred calls around. There was divorce b/w Mom & Dad, yada yada, Moms (or "Mom & Veronica," as they're referred to around Dad) had "the talk" with me like 7 years ago ("So...if you have any questions...?" "No! No I do not."), and that's that story.

Dear The Goodly Reverend,

I am partial to "Thanks Big Hoos" only because it features Hip Hop Harry, and because it was a complete surprise the first time I saw it. "Hard Out Here" was in the midst of some hardcore clowning and I didn't get as much of a kick out of it initially.

tchaboy!

ps no disrespect to houston, dallas, galveston etc, i've just never lived there and can't vouch personal-like.

do you ever think about changing your name back to hoosteen?

-- jergïns, Thursday, March 13, 2008 7:56 AM

I tried once! Right after the switch to nu-nu-ILX 3.0 or whatever we call this thing, I registered with my gmail account as "Hoosteen" and promptly lost track of that password.

At one point in the midst of a noize beef I had like 8 gmail accounts I was registering just to be banned by j0n. That was fun. :D

ayo!

HOOS

darest hoos,

did i remember correctly that you lived in sa-town at some point in yr life?

monsieur bison

You did! Schooled there for 1.5 years, met some good people but got into some bad stuff, decided it was best I tip my hat. Austin is home now, and I've severed ties with most folks down that way, but my Moms & a real good bro still live there.

Are the rumors true? Are also you a Saytown man?

hoos out

HOOS,

Which Logan Street taco truck should I patronize tonight: The one north of Sunset which I have never tried or the one south of Sunset where I have eaten three times.

--WO\ondering in Los Feliz

daer WO\ondering in Los Feliz

I say go for the one north of Sunset. There's a whole world of taco trucks out there, and the possible benefits of a New Favorite Place outweigh the possible costs of A Night of Bad Tacos if it turns out to be thumbs-down.

You often refer to yourself as "a hoos". Is it correct to read this as implying that there are more hooses in the world? If so, where are they?

john HOOSteen aka the monopolizer (lol hoos :)

The North Side taco truck was very good, Hoos. It has diet coke, unlike the one on the more affluent South Side of Sunset Boulevard.

Thanks for being the OTMarker as always.

I'm sending out resumes to some web marketing companies cause I really don't see myself with a career in the hospitality industry. I've heard some horror stories baout fickle web companies firing a dude right before he can get unemployment, so I'm making sure I've got two or three diff income streams regardless of what the 9-5 is. Trying to freelance and save up a personal unemployment fund in case some shit goes down. (lol I threw up a diagram of all this shit on my twitter)

The eventual "career" goal is to teach & write, but I gotta kill a couple years before I can get to work on that (long story). Maybe teach high school, maybe go for the MFA and teach college. Cross that bridge when I get to it.

ps bridge on the river kawaii? http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v209/Mandalion/2udyu5e.jpg

oops

I was right by UTSA at 1604 & 35 10

i live abt 15 minutes from utsa 'round 1604, way too much of an aspie shut-in to be a regular anywhere, tho. did go to sam's for something once iirc years ago, may or may not have been poetry related??

HOOS,

How do I unlock the rear door of my truck when it gets locked up? There is like a little toggle under the handle but sometimes it won't open even when I move it back and forth and click the clicker like 77 times.

Am I just weak? And how do I stop this from happening again.

Thanks HOOS, you've yet to steen me wrong.

"When I first moved in to my new apartment, my roommate and I were listening to some music, and I was like 'Man, he's really goin' in," and my roommate was like, 'you mean going off?' and I thought, wow, we are really not going to get along."

Hoos, what do you do when you're suffering from extended periods of low confidence?

Hoos, quantify the guilt you feel for allowing our mutual friend max to persist in the Vangelis/Jarrett heresy

^and in a .xls spreadsheet if you can swing if, plz.

-I revisit stuff I've done that's gotten praise from people. "Hey look, I am pretty good at x."

-I look at art or listen to music that inspires me. As obvious as it might be, I love looking at details from the Sistine Chapel.

-I do something simple and concrete that I can finish and observe and say "That? I did that."

-I talk to people who will encourage me. ILX is very very good for this.

-I read something ~difficult~ and, upon finishing it, remind myself that "yes, I am smart enough to understand this."

hey hoos i just tried to explain something to a friend of mine and he didn't get it and i want to know what i should do to make the concept more clear

getting all up in someone's grill isn't really about fronting, XXX, it's about confronting---literally fronting con someone, against not just a hater, but the entire ~concept~ of hating and the ability to hate

such that your accomplice, your compadre del contra empujando, he or she realizes that you weren't getting up in their face, you ARE and always have been their ~original face~

2. get up in his grill to show him that his envy is counterproductive
3. he realizes that since u manifest his desires you should be an object of emulation rather than envy
4. he stops hatin

there is a girl around whose interests have encouraged me to take an open mind to the likes of hayek & reason magazine. right now i'm reading "individualism and economic order" and finding myself yelling-at-the-page as often as i'm nodding in agreement. he draws a distinction between the english indivudualist tradition and the continental tradition that grew out of descartes that i think is kinda bullshit. then i come across something like this on p 20 for instance

If left free all men will often achieve more than individual reason could design or forsee.

in a way i didn't really expect he's arguing that a collaborative society full of free actors can spontaneously draw up superior solutions to the problems it faces. his insights on "emergent order" and behavior in complex systems are really interesting to me particularly as they've influenced the kinda nascent field of studying complex adaptive systems. i'm reading him less for "the road to serfdom" (which i'm not actually reading at all) and more for what he has to say about the ways complex systems behave.

what's up with justin raimondo? what do you think of that guy?

i don't really fuck with paleocons--alliances of convenience sure are nice to get folks in the street (hi stopwatching.us), but class analysis is pretty paramount for my willingness to take someone's thinking seriously in the long term.

and in any case, if i need somebody who gets withering on the same topics and doesn't want me to vote for ron paul, there's always max blumenthal.

you really think killing fast track at the cost of trade adjustment assistance is something to celebrate? i don't understand how this is a win for workers in any way...

plz explain

oh i didn't see that this was already being discussed on the politics thread

oh hey sorry hadn't seen this

so some broader context

TAA as it was being presented in this bill was essentially shit--this bill massively underfunded it because that's the only way it would ever have a chance in the GOP led house. TAA is great and necessary--this TAA bill was a joke, and attaching it to Fast Track was a cynical white house-driven maneuver to try to ensure TPA's passage. our leg people are confident that there will be another, better shot at TAA before the summer is out.

republicans have this pattern--not just with TAA obv but with "government services in general"--of defunding programs to the point of crippling their capabilities, then claiming that they don't work. that's what they've held with TAA for years: cut, then claim its broken. we know it works when its funded, and we shouldn't have to cut medicare to pay for it, which is part of what they were pushing on this as well.

but in short our position is there's gonna be another shot at TAA, and beating TPA was big enough to take that gamble.

hoos are you dating a libertarian rn or what, feel like you spend a lot of time on this board sticking up for them, and now youre reading hayek in a bar (and tweeting about it?), lets talk

they are the best dressed people in all the meetings bcz they gladhand congressppl for a living

they're also our procedural sherpas--during the c-span watch party over the vote last week, when we were going "...did we just win? is that...did we win?" they were the ones who assured us we had.

lmao thumbs up

Looks like I picked the wrong day to skip legislative day.

No for reals I lobbied my school's council member on the steps of City Hall last week and holy CRAP our assigned lobbyist was SHAMELESSLY chasing CMs across the courtyard. No holds barred for reals.

FOR REAL FOR REAL I took too long to finish writing that sentence and forgot how I started it. Also I was distracted by the memory of B----- literally chasing someone who was hurrying without wanting to look like she was hurrying.

Ayo hoos what possessed you to return to this godforsaken place?

the short version is "twitter was starting to give me crippling doom anxiety but i still wanted something fun to do at my desk"

feel u

same

Yep
