I’ve lived in five states since my divorce and have rented a place to live in each one, mostly with a year lease and I have not violated one. I have had the property manager try to shaft me on several, and all attempts failed. I lived in Grapevine, Texas when I moved there when the company I worked for was trying to expand. I moved in with the stipulation that if my employer decided to cease operations, I could break the lease without repercussions.  Sure enough, seven months later the jobs went dry and I was forced to move back to Colorado. Three months later, I received a letter from a lawyer stating that I owed X number of dollars for breaking the lease and damage to the apartment. As expected, it was a different property manager, they change so frequently, and the agreement I had made with the original one was null and void. Luckily, the original property manager and I had written out our agreement and it was signed by both of us as an attachment to the lease agreement. It seems her husband had also been in construction and she knew about jobs evaporating. The lawyer called me several times, called me a few names, threatened me a lot and demanded even more money or he’d see me in court. After a call to the Texas regulatory agency, I found out that the lawyer was the property manager’s husband and wasn’t licensed to practice law in Texas. The next time he called, I mentioned this to him, stated that I had recorded our phone conversations and was planning to turn to over to the Texas Attorney General. I never heard from them again.

Now I have another property manager’s lawyer calling me demanding $3,500 for breaking the lease, not giving notice of moving and payment for replacing  a carpet plus other minor damage. For one, the townhomes refused to sign another one year lease so we were on a month to month rental agreement. The carpet was thread bare but clean, I don’t know what he means by other damage. He’s supposed to be sending me documentation to prove his points. These townhomes have tried sung several other tentents and have lost every time, all for several tousands of dollars each. This lawyer doesn’t have a very good track record with lawsuits. If he produces a signed lease, it will be a forgery for we didn’t sign a renewal lease. They had posted a notice on the door giving us ten days to vacate the place. I also had taken pictures of every room before I left so I know there wasn’t any damage, except normal wear and tear.

I had a small place near brush, Colorado for two years. I gave the owner, she lived right across the street, two weeks notice, cleaned the place really great and took pictures of the ceiling hanging down in the bedroom, the leaky hot water heater and the rotten porch before I left. I also left her my forwarding address so she could return my deposit. A month later I received a letter from her lawyer demanding thousands of dollars for damages. I just copied the pictures and sent them to him with a demand for return of $350 deposit or my lawyer would contacting him. A week later I got a check in the mail, no letter, just the check. End of story.

If there is one thing I’ve learned from renting and leasing, keep every scrap of paper for at least a year. Anything agreed to must be in writing, no handshakes. Take pictures when you move in and when you move out. I’ve learned that no matter how nice the property manager is when you move in, they turn into a demon from hell when you move out with selective memory loss. The think that a call from a lawyer will have you turning over and begging for forgiveness; my advice — don’t turn into a sheep. Stand your ground, if you’re right and don’t let them threaten you into submission. If a lawyer calls, ask politely for his license number and then check it. If he won’t give it to you, that’s a point in your favor, shady lawyers don’t have a license. I’d check with your local bar association just to be sure but they won’t give you information as to past complaints but the BBB might.

Don’t let a lawyer threaten you into submission, they count on that to keep from having to show up in court. keep your paperwork and document everything and above all, don’t trust the. They are in it for the money and must answer to their investors.

  

You know Christmas has to be the most interesting holiday of them all. Christmas is a time of year where we’re supposed to be more concerned about others than ourselves. The irony is that this holiday is a contradiction to our nature as predators. So why the hell do we do this. Because we’re being watched.

So at this time of year we selflessly think of others. Hoping to be rewarded with some small measure of kindness and love plutonium and the dying screams of our enemies.

Happy Holidays

The schools used to be a place where you learned and got ready for the real world. Now what are they just another place for over protective parents keep their children in the bubble as long as possible. Even up to and including collage. Take these few examples.

Punctuality - In some of my younger relatives and friends kids that are still in private and public schools get into trouble if they’re late right. Just like a job right. Well you’d be dead ass wrong because the schools don’t want students in trouble give them anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes! of leanancy before the student is ruled late. Do you know of a job that lets you walk in 15 minutes late every day and keep your job. I can’t think of one

Books - No I’m not talking about books like math or history, I’m talking about books like Night by Elie Wiesel. Anyone who’s read the book knows that it’s a graphic description of life in Nazi concentration camps. Now anyone with a bit of rational sense would say that everyone needs to read this book. Then again parents often have no rational sense. This book that should be read by every h been banned in almost every fucking school in the country. WHY! Because parents ran to the school board saying that the book disturbed and bothered their child. you’d think that the school board would scream in these morons face’s. “It’s supposed to fucking disturb them! If they’re human it should have bothered them! Why do we want them bothered by this SO IT DOSEN’T HAPPEN AGAIN!!!!” Do they say that? Hell no! Almost every single one of them said “Don’t worry even though it almost flies in the face of logic no child will have to read this book. Even though it’s one of the most important books ever wrote we don’t want children to be bothered by something they read” Now can anyone tell me how many things are wrong with that logic.

I might have more on this later

You know for the first time in my life I think that I’m actually floored. On PBS around here they had a 2 hour special on how the world WILL NOT END! in 2012! They spent how much money to reassure people of something I could have told them for a dollar, fifty!

The 2012 hysteria started with a station that I used to love and now almost loathe the History Channel. They had one almost every month for a few years Docu-Dramas about the end of the world in 2012. Now what you ask your old pal Warcorpse is a docu-drama. Well unlike a documentary which films the facts regardless of the outcome and tries to be fair and impartial. Something that Michale Moore should learn if he wants to keep calling himself a documentary film maker.

Now a docu-Drama is a little diffrent it will report facts BUT will over look some other rather large facts for the purpose of entertainment and shock value. I find that the History Channel in paticular is going more and more with Docu-Dramas. Isn’t that funny from a channel that’s supposed to teach me about history? Last time I checked history dosen’t change because it’s already done.

Well onto the Mayan 2012 bullshit. Had most people even gone to wikipedia they would have found out that the Mayans didn’t have just one calender they had about seven or eleven I can’t remember which. These calenders are circular meaning they repeat and they range in length from a half a day to a few centuries. The big one the one we’re coming up on is due to eclipse in 2012 something it does once every 5,162, years (that number is what I remember so if it’s wrong don’t bother pointing that out) So the big calender will start all over again. 

Let me illustrate another way take the Christian calender in that calender it will never be November 19 2009 again will it. However in the Mayan calender it will be November 19 2009 again once it reaches that point in its rotation AGAIN! And by the way we were already on the earth the last time this thing eclipsed we were building the pyramids so we had been around for a long long time the last time it happened.

One last note on the end of the world dates.  James Randi has compiled a list of dates the world was supposed to end guess how many misses ALOT! Plus to further put your mind at ease the great builders of the pyramids had their own end of the world date scrawled in the great pyramid of Giza guess when that is! drum roll………….. 1984!!!!! Well we made it through that one and we’ll make it through this one to.

So don’t rack up the credit card bills to high becuase we’re all going to be around for a long, long time.

First thing I would like to say in this post is to all the go green assholes that protest when someone decides to mine something or chain themselves to trees to stop loggers what I have to say is this FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK You! I.m going to have to prove this to most of you and guess what the ol’Warcorpse will do just that.

Recycling with the exception of cans recycling is more costly and guess what coughs up more industriale smoke and pollutants in the air than does just land filling it and starting fresh. Like I said the exception is cans where it’s actually cheaper to recycle aluminum than it is to make new. But the fact that it’s metal gives it a great advantage over it’s paper and plastic counterparts.

On to paper. Does anyone here know how paper is recycled. Well I’ll tell you first after it’s picked up at your house by a second large truck separate from the garbage truck it’s taking to a processing facility sometimes hundreds of miles away. Where it’s boiled and bleached to get the ink off and make pulp. Now the ink runs off and forms this sort of putrid black goo and who the hell knows what to do with that. The pulp is shipped again to paper making facility another big trip on a big truck. where its made into new paper and shipped to your store on yet another big truck.

Doesn’t it just seem easier to turn trees into paper. Now your going to say that well we have to conserve our beloved trees. TREES ARE PLANTS!!! All of the new virgin pulp coming from trees are and were grown on TREE FARMS!!! Trees are a renewable resource we plant the seed we grow a tree. So recycled paper 4 trips on trucks and 2 processing and manufacturing plants New paper from trees 2 trips on trucks 1 manufacturing plants.

Land filling Do you know how large a landfill would need to be to handle the entire US population for the next 1000 years? That’s right from now until November 16 3009? 35miles by 35 miles that’s it. Now it sounds like a lot but it’s a tiny dot when you look at the whole United States. Plus land filling is really a clean processes I don’t have time in this post to tell you the whole process but it’s not just putting garbage in big piles. Now the green people’s last argument is well land filling creates methane gas. Well yes it does but the landfills use that gas to power at times upwards of sixty thousand homes.

So the landfills are doing more to help the environment than any of recycling plants out there. Now before I go I’d like to say one last thing. In a earlier post on here I said that recycling paper was in fact cheaper than making new paper. Well I was wrong and didn’t do any research except what I found at the surface. I guess my point is believe almost nothing your told and for god’s sake make sure you do your research before you come to a conclusion.

“I don’t care”. Those words were spoken to me by an agent of the Colorado Dept of Revenue recently as I tried to explain why I didn’t have any money left after paying for food, rent and utilities. I only owe them $300 now in back taxes and have faithfully been paying down my debt for more than a year. This month, my utilities were higher because of cold weather, groceries keep going up but my fixed income hasn’t. I have my daughter and two grand kids living under my roof since she lost her job and kids love to eat. What was the result of my telephone conversation? an attachment on my bank account, essentially wiping it clean, that in addition to the bank charging me $100 for doing so. So between now and the second Wednesday of December, I have less than $20.

As I still have my internet connecton, I began searching the state’s web sites, trying to figure out exactly how they can legally take every dollar without so much as a thank you or kiss my a**. It turns out that states base their laws on the federal government, especially the Infernal revenue Service. Did you know that the state, and IRS, don’t have to prove to anyone, like a judge, that you owe the money, they can simply serve a paper on the bank, usually electronically, and freeze your assets and they don’t even have to tell you. That’s right, the first inkling you have is when a check bounces or you check your balance and its sitting at zero. Don’t count on ever seeing that money again, it is GONE and you’re left with the financial disasters it causes. The states are bad enough but can’t hold  candle to the IRS.

Several years ago the IRS was dragged over the coals when they were tied to several suicides because of their tactics. They had hounded so many people for small amounts that the people saw no way out except suicide and they took it. It was only found out later that the IRS had made a mistake. Oops!!. Now here’s a fact you may not have known, you can’t sue the federal government without their permission. You have to go before the federal tax court and essentially prove your case before you can continue. If the tax court rules against you, you have nowhere else to go but home and forget about it. The IRS has their own set of rules, classified for obvious reasons, that details the methods approved for collection agents. They can arrest without warrants, seize assets without showing just cause, seize assets of relatives and then sell them off for pennies on the dollar and then bill you for the cost of selling them. Talk about adding insult to injury.

With the economy in the toilet, unemployment staying above 10%, foreclosures at unheard of numbers, families sleeping on the streets and children going to sleep hungry, our government thinks nothing of taking what few dollars remain. We didn’t have a say in whether we wanted a trillion dollar federal deficit, we don’t have a say in how and where our tax dollars are spent but yet we are expected to pay for it. Do we really need to send $30 billion to foreign countries when that money could be better spent right here? Again, we aren’t asked.

It is a small wonder that there’s a mini-revolution brewing against the very people who should be held accountable. It will only grow until the voice of the people can’t be ignored. I’m seriously thinking of lending my voice to the growing uproar.

  

Warcorpse here with yet another group of morons and idiots to watch out for as you go about your daily life. These morons are separated into men and women.

Women who think that all other women are their sisters. You’ve heard these dunces before I’m sure. Screaming things like ”We’re all sisters” and “Help your sisters” or something like that. Usually they’re some psycho feminists spraying man hate because because because. Oh fuck it just pick what ever stupid reason they use for that week. Well ladies I have news for you YOUR NOT ALL SISTERS! If you share both or one birth parent then guess what your sisters if you do not then YOUR NOT!!! Your friends and acquaintances. Case Closed. So please stop going around saying all women are sisters on some level.

Women who think that being a woman is some sort of talent. you’ve seen this shit I’m sure. Women who walk around with pins or buttons and go to festivals like Women’s Pride or The Joy of Womanhood. Being a woman doesn’t require any talent it’s just the result of a genetic coin flip. I thought that pride was reserved for something you accomplished like going into space for example. Have you really done nothing in your life that you have to go with what gender you are and take pride in that. Ladies if your like this here’s a suggestion go to your boss and ask him or her something, anything that you do their that no one else does. I’m sure if they want to keep you they’ll think of something.

Now on to the men

Men who think that becoming a man is some sort of long difficult process. IT”S NOT! How a boy becomes a man is not that difficult. At thirteen or so he starts pubuerty that lasts for several long and annoying years finally ending somewhere between sixteen and nineteen roughly. At the end he’s now a fully grown adult male. A MAN But they’ll counter back with well that’s not a REAL man. Oh yes thathoarse shit. Being a good man isn’t all that difficult either. Treat people nicely and with tolerance. Help elderly people if they’re struggling with something. Resist the urge to beat your wife after she overcooks the roast for the seventh damn TIME! and that’s pretty much it.

Men who constantly tell guys like me ”You need to be a leader in your community!” and my personal response to that is WHY! Now if my neighbor’s house is burning down I’ll be the first one over there making sure they’re safe and getting what they need. Be it blankets or just some refreshments or snacks. But if everything is A-OK in the community why in the hell do I have to waste my Saturday planning some stupid Comunity NIght Out or Nieghberhood Picnic. What in the hell do these accomplish outside of just boring people to death and forceing them to converse with people that they couldn’t care less about. Can’t I just sit out on the porch sip a Vodka and Club Soda and relax until a real problem occurs.   

Well that’s enough for now

Yes, it is Sunday morning, I’ve watched my news channels, read the morning paper and browsed the national newspapers searching for a single piece of good news. It is not to be found. The shootings at Fort Hood has been pushed off the front page by the news of the House of representatives passing Obama’s health care plan by a slim margin (it has yet to hit Congress and a mean battle is expected) after a late night session. I specifically told my representative that it was a bad idea and against it; he didn’t listen to me and voted for it anyway. Now I have to wait and see if my congressman will listen to me but I’m not holding my breath.

The Fort Hood shooting are equally as devastating, thirteen dead and eighteen still in the hospital. The suspect is in stable condition and expected to live to face the death sentence (in the Army, that’s death by hanging). There are several posters already rising to his defense stating that his Muslim faith made him do it (blah, blah, blah. I’ve heard that excuse many times already, usually right after a bomb has gone off, killing dozens of innocents) and he was persecuted or wasn’t in his right mind or was pushed to the brink because he was about to be deployed to Afghanistan to fight his fellow Muslims. There is no suspect to it, he has been positively identified as the lone gunman, so take him out behind the armory, stand him up against the wall and shoot his ass.

An Arizona Muslim father killed his daughter because she had become too westernized and disrespected him by refusing to marry the potential husband he’d picked out. Gimme a break here, this is America, not Iran. Women have a choice here but her father thought otherwise and killed her by running over her with his American jeep, on an American street. This is still America, the land of the free and if he chose to move here, he should have adopted our laws, not his. He’ll probably get a Muslim lawyer and argue a honor killing is perfectly legal for his religion. Sorry, I don’t buy it.

Muslim talking heads are arguing that calm should prevail, that Muslim’s shouldn’t be singled out for harassment because of their religion. I have a news flash for those same talking heads, it’s gonna happen. Only someone who has lived as a hermit for the past ten years can’t see that the Muslims are determined to change this great melting pot of religions into one — Muslim, and bring their backward religious laws with them. There are three Muslim lobby groups who jump at the chance to stand up and cry “religious discrimination” at the slightest excuse. And every time they do grab a headline, their donations skyrocket so they are monetarily motivated to get out there first. They have infiltrated every branch of government, including the White House, and use the slightest excuse to forward their agenda, based on religious freedom. The entire situation is disgusting to me and to most freedom-loving Americans.

I have a plan for them, if you don’t like it here, go back to herding camels in the desert. return to your country of origin and try to change the laws there before trying to change an entire country. If you don’t like your country’s dictatorship, change it but leave ours alone, we like it just the way it is. And I can promise you this, you will never, never change America into another Muslim country.

  

I have no problem with God, no matter what name he/she goes by. Its his/hers followers that give me a pain in the ass!!

  

OK, something has been bothering me. I’ve seen it all over the news here in Philly, and from a bunch of my FaceBook friends. It ticks me off, and I need to vent.

Lately, it seems the ability to spell certain words has gone by the wayside. Now, I’m not saying it’s an indictment of the current public school system, ‘cause that’s far too easy of a target. There has been a very conscious effort on the part of the media to deliberately misspell words. And I declare it’s time to stop.

I don’t know why I’m such a stickler for spelling. Maybe it’s because I fancy myself a writer. Maybe it’s because any motard can use SpellCheck. Maybe it’s because the one word I seem to misspell the most is ,ironically enough, ‘learn’. Maybe it’s because I was the 6^th grade spelling champ. (Yea, take that, Timmy Craig. What gas station are you working at now? And are they hiring?) It’s making my city look bad, and it needs to stop.

It’s spelled ‘fever’. There is no ph.

It’s spelled ‘fun’. There is no ph.

It’s spelled ‘fucking’. There is no ph.

It’s spelled ‘fanatic’. There is no ph. Unless you are talking about the Phille Phanatic. OK, I’ll give you that one. He’s my favorite player. Ooh, there’s another one.

It’s spelled ‘favorite’. There is no ph.

It’s spelled ‘fan’. There is no ph.

It’s spelled ‘finally’. There is no ph.

I think you get my point. When I turn on the news, and see a glaring headline like “Phillies Phever”, I can’t help but feel like a motard. Enouph is enouph. Using ’ph’ makes you look like you are a 8 year old girl with a crush. Are the ‘i’s in Phillies dotted with little pink hearts? I can’t help but cringe when I see men, grown men, with wives and kids and jobs spelling ‘fan’ as ‘phan’. Honestly put, the behavior is rather ‘phay’. Besides, that poor guy who works down at the China Garden is getting all paranoid because everyone else is wearing his name on their shirts. My wall on FB is littered with such atrocities. (And, yes, I sound phay bitching about my FB wall.)

Look, I am not actively rooting against the Phils. I actually hope they win. I think it would be great for the city, great for the fans and great for morale. Plus, I absolutely love watching sports fans doing stupid things when their team wins the championship. Fighting, rowdiness, drunken mayhem, general destruction. I’m not ragging on Philly here, it happens in every town. I just don’t know whose fans are more obnoxious; Philly’s or New York’s. Yea, I’ll pull for the Phils here. But it won’t be enough tonight to take me away from my usual Wednesday night routine of Ghost Hunters, The Ultimate Fighter, then crawling up into a ball and crying myself to sleep. But I might tune in between commercials.
