I'm Annoyed

So... firstoff I'd like to apologize to my fan-base for not posting in such a long time.

Secondoff, I would like to state my displeasure at the fact that I am back in michigan, and in being back in michigan, for approximately two weeks, I am probably getting a job. I spent 3 months in Chicago jobless, looking for one, and could not find one. Yet two weeks in michigan, and i've almost got one.

Now, there was school, which made it more difficult for me to job hunt given that I was busy during the prime hours of the day, but still, I'm in michigan. 50th economically... OUT OF 50!

I mean, what the fuck? Isn't this supposed to be some sort of black hole of jobs, where people are constantly losing them and moving out to somewhere else (like chicago) that actually has employment? Seriously, what the hell?

I don't understand, but all I have to say is that, when I return to Chicago, there better be a fucking job there, or so help me god I'm calling up the Government and telling them to greatly reassess the whole jobless thing.

The Holiday Season

It's here. I'm home for winter break and just chillin. I wish I had something more interesting to write.

I guess all i have to say is, screw you santa, I want presents too. I don't see why the christians are the only one's who get 'em.

I'm displeased.

Random Musings II

I love watching football, too bad i'm from Detroit and therefore don't have a football team.

I like hawaiian shirts

You're not an adult, no matter how old you are.

I like dogs, and cats, and rabbits... but not for the same reason as dogs and cats.

If Jesus was alive now i think i'd hate him.

Nobody knows the trouble I've seen, well, maybe they do, but it's still special damnit!

Humanity has an overall inability to moderate it's actions

Cars are never as cool as they are in the commercials

I know that it's wrong, but I love taco bell more than is healthy.

Disney Pop vs. Hip-Hop

So Disney pop music and most gansta rap are exactly the same thing.

I know what you're thinking: "No, no they're fucking not."

And yes, in musical styles, they are quite different, but when it comes down to marketing and musical evolution they are quite the same.

They are both pre-packaged musical shit that encompasses a specific stereotype of person's likes. One, fits the exact crap that black people should like, the other the same for white people. Both Miley Ray Cyrus and Lil' Wayne are the same diluted shit that music exces think we should all listen to.

They both are also loosely based in real music, one in rock and the other in rap (the kind that's thought provoking and meant to question the establishment in an intelligent way), but both are now so in pop culture that they barely resemble their predecessors.

Just a thought I thought I would throw out there.

Random Musings

Here are some random thoughts that are bouncing around in my head:

I quite enjoy tea.

I don't understand why people made such a fuss about Micheal Jackson's death, especially considering the press we gave him in his life.

Is it ok to make fun of people on the day of their death?

If Jesus was G-d's son, but Joeseph was the one that raised him, did G-d have to pay child support?

Life needs more muffins, and tea, and the occasional dance break.

The more I look at politics the more I see one large conspiracy to create a dictatorship within a country.

What is the point of the "number lock" button on the computer?

You should read the book Good Omens, it's quite funny.

That's it for now folks, I imagine the next time I get bored enough there'll be a "Random Musings II" so stay tuned!

An Ode

This is to all the people who will try anything once. Sure, they're reckless, and often get themselves hospitalized for their actions, but without them we would be nowhere.

Think, if you will, about the common beverage, milk. Milk is a substance that comes out of the utters of a cow, goat, human or any other mammal. Although we are raised on it (assuming one is breast fed), we stop drinking it when we become toddlers. Think about the first person to see a cow and it's calf feeding on it's mother's milk. Something in that person's brain said, "Huh, you know, I'm gonna drink that." Now, in your right mind, if you saw a cow for the first time and had no knowledge of it prior, would you drink the odd white liquid coming out of it's underside?

This is why we need people who are willing to do anything regardless of how stupid it may seem at the time, because sometimes, good things come of it. This can be said of more things than milk. Take honey, imagine a trio of people staring at a bee hive.

Person 1: What is that?

Person 2: I dunno, but those things will hurt you if you get close

Person 3: Yea, but what's that stuff dripping off the bottom?

Person 1: I don't know

Person 3: Looks all weird and goopy.

Person 2: Dude, I dare you to eat it.

Person 1: NO!

Person 3: Eh, what the hell, I'll try anything once.

Now, Person 3 would be considered an idiot, yet if it were not for people like that, we would not have honey, a delicious sweetener.

In short, we owe something to the idiots of our day, sometimes, they just get hurt or kill themselves, but sometimes, they discover something that mihgt just help society.

1984 Anyone?

A couple short ones today I guess. Here's a link to Garnbanzo Toons, I find it particularly scary. The Government rarely compiles lists for no reasons. And the fact that they're asking people to help them compile a list of people who disagree with the government healthcare plan does in fact scare me.

But maybe I'm paranoid.

An Idea On The Tax System

You know, I was think about things, and how much I do really not enjoy taxes, and I was thinking... "There's got to be a better way to do this 'tax' thing. In some way that doesn't involve the government slowly taking more and more control of the populace." Then, an idea came to me, What if the American populace got to decide how much taxes to pay?!? If we decided how much those idiots in Washington D.C. got paid maybe they would stop being such idiots and actually pay attention to what they're doing.

The idea is that, At the beginning of the year, probably early February, a poll would be taken of the American population on the direction of the government and how satisfied they are with the progress and actions taken by the government. There would be some sort of rating system with which to grade the different areas of the government. The scores would then be averaged and according to the score, the government would get a set amount of money.

This would do a couple things;
1)it would force people to pay attention to the processes of the government
2)it would force the politicians running the government to actually do things people want

Now, I am aware that there are a few holes in this plan. How can we get everyone to take the poll? Can't people just take the poll without knowing anything about the government? What if people just vote for no taxes?

Firstly, the internet makes it easy for people to access anything, and people's social security number should suffice to make sure people only vote once. And as for those just choosing not to vote, well, there could also be a small tax break for those who choose to vote. And it is true that people could take the pool without knowing anything, but people do that when voting in the general election anyway, so i don't see what difference that makes. As for voting for no taxes, well, so goes all the social programs and other such things the government does, therefore people who favor those things would vote to give the government money.

Now, if the government is not allotted enough money it could still shut down programs, most likely the ones that actually do some good rather than things like racial quotas and economic regulations, so I've come up with a way to combat that as well. For every 2% of the budget cut in order to use the money allotted, all the politicians (that's right, all of them) take a 2% cut to their salary. That way, they can't just cut a bunch of stuff but still get paid. In fact, 2% might be generous, but I don't know enough about politician's salaries to make a mathematical calculation.

That is the overall idea, obviously there's some tweaking to be done and it's not perfect, but at least for once all these public servants will actually be serving the public.

I'm Sorry

Those two words are so odd to me.

It seems people use them too much, like "I love you" only worse.

It seems a curse on our society, like, we can't be free, because we always have to say I'm sorry,

To someone. Always, and we begin to use it without thinking, or knowing what we're sorry for.

I'm sorry it rained (you have no control)

I'm sorry your train is late (are you the conductor?)

I'm sorry i might have accidentally offened someone, somewhere (is it possible not to?)

I'm sorry I was born into a better life than you (if you're so sorry is it better?)

I'm sorry I'm so poor (will apologizing fix it?)

I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry

It seems more and more that apologies aren't worth our time

And, I wish I could say I'd eluded this curse, but that would be a lie.

Because I still apologize as much as everyone else

For things that aren't my fault, or that are controlled by someone else

So don't think that I'm somehow above the norm

Shit, I'm sorry if I over-stepped my bounds,

Wait, this is my blog, why do I have to apologize

For someone, somewhere who's wandering eyes

might be offended by my quote-unquote lies

But now I digress, and I'm so sorry for wasting your time.
