I have slept on this, Naillo, and woke up with what should have been considered by the gendarmerie when you reported the crime.
This appears to be almost a crime of passion and since the rather expensive tinted windows were what was damaged and since the car was pre-owned when you got it, it could have been the act of anger of the former owner of the car who might have lost it through reposession and who had spent a lot of money on the tinted windows.
Spotting it parked in a secluded spot late at night might have been enough - especially if he had been drinking - to spark the malicious vandalism you suffered.
You might mention the theory to the police or claims adjuster, but frankly cops seldom follow up on logical solutions to property-damage crimes, preferring to spend their productive time sampling the latest free offerings at the local Dunkin' Donuts.
I feel for you buddy...

That really sucks, Naiilo. Too bad you're not a vampire, you could return the favor.
:(

Totally ignoring all the meaningful dialogue that has taken place here, I wonder how you got the title for this thread "My Little Rant."
I always called mine "Little Dude" or "Dude Jr." Wonder how you came to call yours your "Little Rant" Codey?
:p

Not going to bring up the subject of your P.A. Graeme?
:p

It no longer means anything, Codey. It roughly followed the flagging of the old days. Gay, bi, top, bottom, oral.. err the other, kerchief in the left, right back jeans pocket, red, blue... but no longer has any significance other than to show you have some bit of flare.
If he wants to be Mr. Macho and still show support for you and Tim, he might do both... but you'd better kick in for the cost of the extra stud.
I opted out as one of my cats, Squeakie, who is nearing 10 years old, still thinks it is cute to suck on daddy's ear lobes from time to time.

... er, moved to the city, did you James?
:p

Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
It is just a few months short of 10 years since I lost my mom but it is a day I'll never forget.
Hang in there...

This ain't the most pleasent birthday present ever but it ain't over till the specialist pokes me in the eye.
Despite the problems... Happy Birthday, James.. almost slipped by!
Celebrating a birthday - even if you are not up to snuff - is better than the alternative!
Take care of yourself, buddy.

Excellent, DJ...
Thanks for contributing it.

Codey: It gave me goosebumps and brought tears to my eyes.
Same here. A love story told from a "different" perspective... so different and so moving.

I hate to beat a dead horse, but I'm far too stable to try something like that. Unless a Gallup poll shows that it would be the best move. And of course, I'd have to get written permission from the Mare's office.Very, very punny!

Elecivil from his own profile AwesomeDude Stories Page:I'm an eighteen year old guy with a tendency to over-think and under-act.
Thank God! :D

Yeah... this is a fun story. Nice going Rick.
TR has just passed me another short story by Rick I think you'll like also...
Watch out for 'Outed' coming soon to an AwesomeDude page near you!

What a cheerful thread! :)
Glad you are OK... seriously AJ.
Sometimes we must all be reminded of our own mortality... I am every time I get behind the wheel and contend with the "death-wish drivers" on the road. You might consider updating the car a bit... it seems your wheels are a bit long in the tooth....
and to Naiilo...
Just to let you know, I always thought that drowning in a vat of citric acid would be a neat way to die.Add to that a bit of vodka... and you have "Death by Screwdriver."

Hi Gang -
Well, we've had another controversial topic and at the original poster's request, I have locked the thread.
Compared to past controversies... it didn't get really nasty because - unlike some things that have happened here - no real malice was involved, just a difference of opinions.
I am going to have to ask you all -once again- to keep your responses on topic and not let emotions carry you away. As a journalist, you know how I abhor censorship - so I don't want to just delete the replies using offensive language and hyperbole. I also don't want to discourage folks who make reasoned and well thought out responses by deleting the thread entirely. That would send the wrong message... that their responses and the time they put into them was wasted.
But you have to remember the purpose of the AD Forums... to facilitate the exchange among folks who love to read and write.
Unfortunately, I have not heard anything from Blue, our moderator for this forum for some time... so I have had to jump in myself. Which means taking time from other duties... most urgent of which is updating the Best-Of-Nifty page.
Please, this is the only non-literary forum at AwesomeDude Forums... if you want to keep it, let's keep it civil!
Thanks

Tragic Rabbit: I'm fascinated by the idea that someone could help me to be a better writer by editing.
It depends on how you view the editing process, TR. If you think that having the story edited and finally proofed by someone else is just to make it "prettier" for the reader, then it probably won't help.
But if the author and editor work as a team, each with the proper respect for what the other does, it can be a great help. While many authors have a good grounding in English grammar and usage, others do not. Some authors may have terrific ideas which, if presented well will make for a good story. Other authors blessed with a good grounding in the written language may, alas, be totally uninspired when it comes to weaving a tale.
A pairing of the "right" editor and author can contribute to enhancing the skills of both.
Each editor/author relationship is -and must be- different. Some teams soar. Others flop. Some lead to longtime friendships, others to animosity. I happen to know that there examples of most of these right here on AwesomeDude. Except for the flops... they seldom make it to our pages as we don't have an "Examples of what NOT to do Stories section.
With apologies to The Bard, The Story's The Thing.

Sounds like these two guys need to get together for a little mutual... er proofing?
:p

Hear ye... hear ye...

Melancholia
in Poets' Corner
Posted
Sean,
Poetry is a way of expressing our feelings... I hope you aren't feeling as dark and malancholic as the poem would indicate.
Melancholia also seems so different in attitude from your earlier piece in structure and feeling. I wish I could make more constructive comments on poetry in general... I only know how poems affect me or make me feel.
Your earlier one "I am what I am I fear no consequence" brought a smile for its 'invincibility' but the black mood of this one evokes somthing else, a kind of concern. I have searched my emotional memory banks for some kind of point in my life where such words might have applied but come up with nothing.
In any case, in moving me to feel a new emotion - not necessarily a pleasant one - means that you are expressing yourself successfully as a poet.
Looking forward to reading more from you.
