Are you sure it isn't out of envy?

I certainly envy your Tea Party, crime rates, election laws, health care and huge Evangelical political lobby 

That's unfortunate Gov. Do you have a place to stay? 

Let's get this shit started.

Ah, that would explain it. This site must look like shit on a small screen.

This is just something I'm pulling out of my note-pad that I wrote a few months ago. An exercise in drafting a treaty.

Article I: Recognition of Governments
1) The signatories recognize their counterpart signatories as the legitimate and sovereign governments of their respective regions.

2) Having recognized the legitimacy and sovereignty of each governments, the signatories shall not participate in or support any action taken with the intent to destabilize or overthrow the government of another signatory.

3) The signatories shall not conduct, promote, encourage or otherwise support the use of espionage, sabotage, or any other covert action against another signatory.

4) As a sign of this recognition, the signatories shall maintain both in-game and active forum embassies with each other.

Article II: Common Defense
1) In the event a signatory region becomes founderless, the signatories shall render military assistance in the defense of their respective counterparts' home regions at the request of the legitimate leader of the requesting region, with the goal of defending the region from invasion, securing the region with the password, or assisting in the refounding of the region.

2) The signatories shall share all information related to any known or suspected threats to the security of the home regions or off-site properties of either region. The signatories agree that any information learned through this section shall not be made public or passed on to any outside party without the permission of the region which provided the information.

3) The legal Heads of State of the signatory regions shall be the only persons authorized to activate any portion of this Article.

Article III: Other Military Assistance
1) Acknowledging that increased military cooperation is of mutual benefit, the signatories may seek to inform each other of opportunities for joint-missions as they arise, although it shall not be required for regions to participate in them.

Article IV: Development and Promotion of Culture
1) In order to promote and foster the growth of each others' cultures and communities, the signatories shall allow the recognized ambassador of their counterparts to promote the cultural activities and events of their region in each others' designated cultural forum area, so long as it is not a shared activity or event with a non-signatory party.

2) The signatories shall jointly develop one festival with each other every calendar year. The host region shall be determined by the order with which each region ratified this document.

3) The signatories may consider joint collaboration on the development and implementation of additional events which are commonly held by multiple regions, such as holiday celebrations, in order to improve the quality of the festivities, foster camaraderie between regional communities, and reduce the duplication of each region developing their own festivities. However, this shall not be a requirement.

4) Participants of joint events and activities shall follow the laws of the region hosting the event. The region hosting the event shall maintain the right to deny or revoke access to participate in the festival for any reason.

Article V: Protocols for Amendment, Expansion, and Termination
1) This document may be amended upon its re-ratification by both signatories, as determined by each region's individual laws.

2) Each signatory shall maintain the right to terminate this agreement through their relevant laws. Upon termination of this agreement, the terminating region shall provide its counterpart with a one week notice via a post within their embassy on the counterpart's forum. The terms of this treaty shall no longer be binding upon the terminating treaty at the conclusion of this notice period.

So I got a message today that my old private WoW server was hijacked by one of the admins and that all characters were lost in the process...and even worse, when they put everything back up they decided to do away with the 1x WotLK realm I used to play because supposedly it wasn't worth the cost. Sad times...it's been a few years since I played WoW, but it was always nice to go back and reminisce for a bit. It was were Daylen and I and some of our friends from elsewhere had a small guild, and we had a dedicated game night where we'd all try to be on at a certain time to play together. It was...really fun and relaxing at a time of my life after I'd left my last online home but before I joined NationStates.

I'm not sure I'll ever get back into WoW like that again though, even if I found another server. I don't have the time to devote to it, and at the end of the day, it's not the game I'm into anymore, it's the memories and nostalgia of the fun that I had on it in the past with good friends.

A 24" water main burst on campus.  No water for the entire city (about 8,000 people).  All the toilets get one flush.  ONE.  FLUSH.

It's happening

Speaking of old communities I recently learned(within the past week) that a community I was apart of last year for a bit ended up being shutdown around December, I was on an extended leave for a bit (This was around the time that I fell from grace and was here, but also wasn't. I felt it was best for me to limit my interaction there for a bit). I learned this when I wanted to rejoin but had to reinstall TeamSpeak due to me having gotten CryptoWall earlier(TeamSpeak was one of the few things that was encrypted by it...)

Any who today, well this morning, I realized that most of the people who were apart of that community, that I knew, had a steam account. I decided to look up one of the owners, and was able to find him quickly(thankfully he had a unique account name) and I also learned there is/was a steam group for the community as well. So I went through and decided to add some of the people whom I actually remember.

Today was interesting, in my 5th period me and a friend were finished with our work and we decided to play MtG. We first played with my Deck(Green Deck, it's my only deck) against a red deck he made for a friend to test out the deck. He ended up winning that match. However when we played another match, this time my deck against his white token deck which he was unbeaten and he had never lost with it. I ended up winning...with only two life...(I had two life for most of the game as well...he had 27 or so life as well before I had begun to turn the tides...)

I am sick and tired of being sick and tired

There's always the movies to cure what ails you... I mean like it won't but you can temporarily put yourself in the body of one who doesn't have what ails you.

Damn I'm envious of some asians. One came across one of my naughty Reddit feeds...he was 35, and I swear if he hadn't said it I would have thought he was 20. And he was so cute...;-;
