Turn Around!

School today was pretty simple, my homework was done, got more assignments, and now I have more homework. Same ol same ol, I know.

Oh, before I forget...in order to get my first certification in IT (A+ cert), I need to pass my school's practice cert with a 95% or better...twice. While this is why I'm going to school, this term hasn't been that important to me tech-wise because of all my other classes. Well now I've got like 2 weeks to get two certs, and I think I'm the last in my class to qualify for the actual A+ Cert. Today, I took my first school cert and passed, so at some point this week I have to do that again and then schedule myself for my 701 A+ cert. I ALSO have to do my 702 A+ cert, in the next two weeks (while passing my school's practice 702 A+ cert, first, twice) and I have yet to study for that. Will I do it? I sure as heck hope so, I'm not stressing like everyone else because, I just have a feeling I'll be okay. I'm good at this. Sorry if none of that made sense, it's kinda hard to explain. haha! :)

Today my buddy at school told me to take the school cert, he said I was ready for it. I told him I wasn't confident enough to do that, he said "You're like one of the top students in all of our tech classes...you are ready." So I had to turn around my way of approaching the school's practice cert test. It's the same "learning mode" test(s) I've been practicing, only now it will be in my school's "practice cert mode". Once I did that, I did great and like I said, I passed. Let's hope I can do it again this week!

Shut-up Stupid Sunday: Union Busters

The Great Recession has been great for the top 1% income bracket in this country, for the bottom 90% not so much.

The cause and solution of the Great Recession is pretty obvious to anyone who has studied even the most basic economic principals. For the last 30 years the wealth of this country has shifted into the hands of the wealthy few while everyone else saw their wages decrease. Now the majority of citizens simply don't have any money to purchase goods, that depresses manufacturing which depresses wages, which leads fewer goods being purchased depressing wages, in a vicious cycle.

There are two powers in the country that can break this cycle, the government and the unions. The government could make a progressive tax system where the rich pay a higher percentage than the middle class, as opposed to the current system where if you add up all federal taxes, Fed, Social Security, Medicare, ect, those making $100,000 a year pay roughly 40%, those making over $250,000 a year pay 33% and the very top income, multi-million dollars a year have their income classified as capital gains and pay 15%.

The federal government could change this so the people who get the greatest share of benefits from the government (the richest) paid slightly more than those who have less, moving money into the hands of people that will spend it, creating demand, making the economy work again.

Unfortunately, the Democrats are unable, or unwilling to take on the wealthiest people in this country, and the Republicans are determined to push through policies that the vast majority of economist say will make the Recession worse.

That leaves the Unions as the only force to deal with the huge wage inequity that is keeping the recession going.

Over the last 30 years the average middle class wages fell slowly as they didn't keep up with inflation. Using the Recession as an excuse, the large corporations are pushing not only to nibble away at middle class wages by not making them keep up with inflation but actively cutting wages. Only workers standing together and saying, “No we won't take this” by having a Union, or the threat of having a Union form keeps them from pushing wages down to starvation levels.

In Wisconsin, Governor Scott Walker gave billions in tax breaks to billionaires as well as proposed selling the public utilities in no-bid contracts to his supporters and expects the middle class to pay for it. If it weren't for the Unions this huge transfer of wealth from the middle class to the richest 1% would have gone through and Governors around the country would declare war on the middle class prolonging the Recession making low wages and high unemployment the norm in this country.

So to everyone who doesn't support Union rights in this struggle, I say, “Shut-up Stupid, the Unions are the only thing that is keeping this recession from turning back the clock on all the economic progress that 90% of the country has earned over the last century. Unless you belong to the top 1% income bracket your current standard of living depends on the Unions being successful in this fight.”

Beautiful

I'm reading this book by Bart Yates, I think it's his third and it's called the Distance Between Us. I just had to close the book down for the night because I was bawling. I hope to finish it tomorrow (after I do my homework) but he really is such a great author. On that note, I'm not a grammar nazi, or a literary scholar so I don't know if he writes well or not. I do know he makes me laugh, he makes me angry and he makes my cry. For me, that's a good book and you can find beauty in everything, and I find his novels beautiful. ;) peace

Things that Make Me Laugh!

I'm not gonna lie, today sucked! I had to drop a class, Hottie was sad, but annoying, and I totally froze up on tonight's Math test. Then Armageddon opened up the heavens this evening and I was wearing nothing but a long sleeved t-shirt and some jeans! It's cold, it's freezing, I'm cranky and if Hottie calls me like he said he was going to...he would forever rethink about knowing me. I need a do-over!

So based on that, I am grateful I have place to lay my head tonight (for those who have followed me for awhile, you know I was homeless), I'm grateful I'm in school and I am grateful for a lot...but...damn, today was just awful! I'm still here though and still thinking as many good thoughts as I can. I needed a laugh, so you know I had to turn to GloZell. She makes me laugh.

I am beat and I know Eyre will say something sweet (but I want the truth), I totally went back and looked for comma splices...how did I do? #schoolismessingwithmyhead

Frank Bailey Is A Big Fat Pussy: Part 1 Of 1,000,000

Poon the Giant Pussy

"…I'd seen Sarah drive off with little Piper—by law required to sit in a car seat—not even buckled, sprawled out on the back seat or climbing from the back to the front to sit on Todd's lap when he drove. We even had a photo of Piper in the back seat of their car after a drive of several hours, asleep on top of her unbuckled seatbelt and definitely not in the required child seat."

Ooga-booga!

:\ I used to sit on the floor of my mom's car and use the car seat as a platform to play with GI Joes. I'm not even going to mention all the times I've laid out on the back seat to nap during long vacation car trips (oh, wait...) + 1 pussy point.

Earlier during Palin's campaign to be the youngest and first female governor of Alaska, Bailey accused her of being "callous" about daughter Bristol after Sarah told him in an email: "Bristol's mad at me. Says this isn't fun. Too bad."

:\ Good. Bertolli is a mess that deserves nothing but scorn. + 1 pussy point.

Bailey writes about a doctored pornographic photograph being emailed to Palin's gubernatorial campaign account, with the candidate's head atop a nude body. Bailey quickly called Todd to relay his concern and writes that Todd's response was "Is it real?"

"He laughed in his quiet Todd-way and said, ‘Well she walks around the house with her robe open and with all those windows we have, well, you know…"

Bailey writes: "If it were my wife, faked X-rated photo or not, I'd be horrified. Todd? His was a Ha, ha, what-the-hell response. He seemed not to care much either way. When I assured him that it was probably a PhotoShopped job, that someone had taken her head and pasted it onto some Playmate of the Year's body, I felt as if I'd wasted words. Naked photos: not such a big deal."

:\ Are you kidding me? Every single famous person in the world has photoshopped nude pictures of them. There is an entire subculture on the internet devoted entirely to faked nudie pics. Why the hell would you get worked up about something so stupid and (sadly) common? And what the fuck did you expect Todd to do about it, you fat asshole? Shut down the internet? + 10,000 pussy points -25,000 man points. +500 man points for Todd. +1,000 pimp points for Todd if that robe thing is true.

<_< I only responsible for the EVIL lemon part of this photoshop  >_>

Bailey: Palin Blamed Me for Troopergate(baw poor you)

"Eventually I would learn this reaction was indicative of a beast inside Sarah Palin," he writes.

Geek Jokes

I have a major problem with one of my characters. In the PIZZA DIARIES Amanda is supposed to have spent her entire life since the age of 5 immersed in a world of mathematics, spending about 14-16 hours a day working on her theories. After an accident she becomes dependent on my MC Brian the delivery driver and has to actually join his strange world. Unfortunately, none of my beta readers caught that, even though she mentions it 4 times in the book.

The problem is I don't have her acting geeky enough. So I'm trying to give her a geeky sense of humor.

When she is in shock and trying to describe that she has been sent through time she tries to sum it up by saying:

“The tachyon left the bar, the bartender says, 'We don't serve hypothetical particles here', The tachyon approached the bartender.”

When Brian points out she's done a similar thing to him, she says:

“Now we're not 1,3,5,7 or 9.”

“What?” Brian asks.

“We're even.”

When she notices Brian doesn't react to really odd things happening around him:

“That's very Noble of you,” she said.

“I don't see how not letting weird stuff bother me is noble,” he said.

“Noble gases don't react, you're like Helium.” She laughed at her own joke.

When she first sees Brian's apartment she comments:

“This isn't a place to live it's a macro scale model of Chaos Theory.”

When she finally comes on to him she says:

“I don't mean to make you derivative, but I want you to be tangent to my curves.”

And finally when Brian shows her he gets her sense of humor:

“We have to outrun them,” she said.

“The chances of that are negative 459 degrees Fahrenheit,” he said.

“That's Absolute Zero,” she said.

“And those are our chances.”

Those are the geek jokes I've come up with her so far.

Does anyone know any good geek jokes I can throw in to help her character?

Sports Tease

Today was one of my long days at school, morning until night. So tired. Today someone told me that the Sacramento Kings are thinking of moving to LA. I haven't had time to see if this true, but that's lame. The Lakers and Kings have a great rivalry! Plus LA has the Clippers (not like that's something to be proud of). My point being, since I started school, I know nothing about sports anymore! My NFL team didn't make it the to the play offs, I have no idea who is winning/won the Masters and now the Kings are supposedly moving to LA! School, I want my life back!! ugh! ;) peace

Shut-up Stupid Sunday: Scott Walker vs. Hosni Mubarak

The Conservative media is shocked that people would compare Hosni Mubarak (the Egyptian dictator who over 30 years took the country's wealth and spread it among his supporters while using the police to suppress the country's citizens Human Rights as defined by the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights) and Scott Walker (the Wisconsin Governor who in one month took the State's budget surplus and doled it out in tax breaks and special deals to his supporters creating a budget deficit while threatening to use the National Guard to suppress the state's citizens Human Rights as defined by the UN's Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 23 section 4).

This is a terrible comparison Mubarak didn't run deficits.

One of the purposes of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is “... so that people are not compelled to rebellion against tyranny, human rights should be protected by rule of law.” When a President or Governor uses their power to suppress their citizens basic Human Rights they sow the seeds for rebellion.

Governor Scott Walker violated Wisconsin State Law by refusing to negotiate with the employees elected representatives, an unfair labor practice, and is claiming the budget deficit that he created means that the state should get rid of the law the allows State Employees to have basic human rights.

For his next act Governor Walker is setting the stage to violate the Universal Declaration of Human Rights Article 25 in regard to access to healthcare. In the bill that would destroy the State Employees freedom to engage in Collective Bargaining is a provision that would also turn over the State's Medicare to the Governor. He hasn't said what he will do with this power but he could simply destroy the states program and opt out of the federal program ending medical care for people who have paid for it their entire lives.

Scott Walker, Hosni Mubarak, and every other tin-pot dictator have in common is that they feel no need to honor their citizens basic Human Rights.

So to Scott Walker and anyone else who plan to strip people of their basic human rights, I say, “Shut-up Stupid, any plan, any organization, any system that fails to take into account the dignity and worth of every individual, well that plan is doomed to fail.”
