Dustin, your envy of me has gotten way out of hand.
Envy is regarded by most people as a petty, superficial emotion and, therefore, it serves as a semihuman cover for so inhuman an emotion that those who feel it seldom dare admit it even to themselves . . . . That emotion is: hatred of the good for being the good.
This hatred is not resentment against some prescribed view of the good with which one does not agree . . . . Hatred of the good for being the good means hatred of that which one regards as good by one’s own (conscious or subconscious) judgment. It means hatred of a person for possessing a value or virtue one regards as desirable.
If a child wants to get good grades in school, but is unable or unwilling to achieve them and begins to hate the children who do, that is hatred of the good. If a man regards intelligence as a value, but is troubled by self-doubt and begins to hate the men he judges to be intelligent, that is hatred of the good.
The nature of the particular values a man chooses to hold is not the primary factor in this issue (although irrational values may contribute a great deal to the formation of that emotion). The primary factor and distinguishing characteristic is an emotional mechanism set in reverse: a response of hatred, not toward human vices, but toward human virtues.
To be exact, the emotional mechanism is not set in reverse, but is set one way: its exponents do not experience love for evil men; their emotional range is limited to hatred or indifference. It is impossible to experience love, which is a response to values, when one’s automatized response to values is hatred.
and you, you do not want to own my fortune, you want me to lose it; you do not want to succeed, you want me to fail; you do not want to live, you want me to die; you desire nothing, you hate existence, and you keep running from that fact that the object of your hatred is yourself.. you are the essence of evil, by devouring the world, to fill the selfless zero of your soul.

You think you're gonna to live your life alone in darkness and seclusion.
Yeah, I know.
You've been out there tried to mix with those animals
and it just left you full of humiliated confusion.
So you stagger back home and wait for nothing.
But the solitary refinement of your room spits you back out onto the street,
and now you're desperate, and in need of human contact,
and then, you meet me, and you whole world changes
because everything I say is everything you've ever wanted to hear.
So you drop all your defenses and you drop all your fears
and you trust me completely.
I'm perfect in every way
'cause I make you feel so strong and so powerful inside.
You feel so lucky but your ego obscures reality
and you never bother to wonder whythings are going so well.
You wanna know why?

Micro switches are bad *** little shitz...
I turned my ordinary USB powered beverage cooler into a gravity pressure switched beverage cooler...
I got sick of the high pitch turbo-whine that it makes with its tiny fan when I am not using it, so I installed a micro switch. It beats being active by getting behind the computer and unplugging the damn thing or using a boring manual switch... I rather set my drink on the stupid thing and have it turn on by itself.
Yes, im a little drunk. Go rum.
I have included a pics for reference... for no reason. yay.
my horid works statiobn

The good thing is that I have a new carpet on the way, so I planned to pull the dash anyway.
