I finally have one thing going smoothly. After about 20 phone calls to various clinics and doctor's offices I found a place that can do all of the tests required for my visa. I'll have that all done tomorrow. Bonus: it's going to be much, much cheaper than I anticipated.
I'm still waiting on my fingerprinting card from Albany.
I just found out I also have to authenticate my diploma with the same lengthy process as the fingerprint card.
Let me hear you say, oh shit!
My leave date is not going to happen July 16.

fingerprintingCategory: america fuck yeah
It seems Buffalo's fingerprinting department is a one man show. He was on vaca forever. Then he yelled at me saying, "You're just trying to make things difficult for me aren't you" when I told him I do not have my own card.
Silly me to assume a fingerprinting office has the actual cards you get fingerprinted on. No, I have to call Albany to have them mail me a card because my employer from the middle east did not supply me with a NYS identification recorder. True story.
I'm so far behind in the process now I probably won't make my leave date of July 16.

I'm going to throw all seriousness out the door right now and say that all you problems could be solved by commiting a crime. Commit a vechilur homicide they would take you to a hospital since you where hurt and give you all kinds of tests then the police would finger print you and you would be good to go except the not being allowed to leave thing. But seriously for a minute I can't belive How crazzy everything you have to do is. If you have a young kid they have all these police programs where you can get them fingerprinted. One would think that the place you get finger printed would have the cards to put them on. I don't know what was said by you and what tone of voices you both used but I still can't believe the guy yelled at you, that is insane.

Sucks the process is going along sluggishly. Red tape is frustrating as hell.
Too bad you can't just drive to Albany and omit the wait. When i had to get fingerprinted for my immigration, we had to drive from Knoxville to Nashville (about 4 hours). Even though Knoxville had federal offices, they didn't handle fingerprinting there. So off to Nashville we went for our appointment there. And that experience, as they say, is another story entirely.

shades of aquaCategory: dream
I had such a beautiful dream last night. I was walking through a lovely forest full of redwoods and giant ferns. The sun was beaming strands of brilliant light to the forest floor. I could hear a few insects, a few birds, but I knew I was alone. I came upon a small hot spring. The surface sparkled in shades of aqua. I removed my clothes and slipped in. I drifted in the floating abyss. I was overcome with peace and happiness. I wanted to stay there forever.

I forgot about your photo page I'll have to check that out. The talk of Guiness reminded me that I have been watching a goofy comedy called Beerfest (it is by the Broken Lizard boys). Some of the special features are pretty good. I give anyone who can drink Guiness credit I think I have had Syryup that was less thick. I can't Imagine Car bombs let alone Bus Bombs I'm guessing the next size up will Be Semi or maybe evern 747 bombs. In any glad you had a great time and I hope you keep having a great time.

the vortex of youCategory: poetry
My shell might be tough. My eyes may be vacant. But there is still a soul in here. Push me out the door on a lonely road. My hands and knees aren't wounded. But my veins still run with blood. I'm not a fucking super hero. I don't always know the answer. But I do what I think is right. I fight to protect the genuine. You call me a monster.
Will the weak. Feed the fire. Propagate the pitiful. Clap for the crazy.
Why can't you SEE???

have a little faith- it'll all work out. things have a way of doing so just when you're about to give up. :)
