Swine Flu

History Opinions Political

I’ve been debating with myself as to whether I should even recognize the insane and immature hysteria that has been broadcast by mainstream television media or to just make the choice to ignore it and spend my time on worthy news sources. I’ve finally decided that this situation has…

Layoffs and Respect

Career Moods Opinions

I’m working on a demo reel, so I can’t elaborate on this topic in as much detail as I’d like. The gist is that I find it entirely disgusting that workers are expected to provide at least two weeks notice before they leave a position, but when one is laid…

Rant for America

Opinions Political

Here’s the way I see America right now: When the going gets tough, the tough ask for handouts. I realize that being out of a job sucks; and trying to support a family when you’ve run out of money and have no credit sucks; and being a huge company that’s…

New Bond Flick

Entertainment Opinions

I went and saw the new 007 movie (“Quantum of Solace”) last night. I like the new plot and character developments, but this modern camera style is totally distracting. The new Bond is a darker, more humanized style James Bond. The new Bond doesn’t come off as outrightly womanizing (like…

Editorial from MSNBC

An editorial by Brian Alexander of MSNBC.com: The 17-year-old daughter of Alaska governor Sarah Palin is pregnant. If not for the fact that Senator John McCain has chosen Palin to be his running mate, would we care? I doubt it… War in Iraq, economy imploding, energy transformation finally on America’s…

Driving vs. Walking to work

Moods Opinions Techy

My Own Housing Crisis

History Moods Opinions

Let me start this post by coming clean about something. I believe (and have for quite a while now) that 2012 will be the end or complete upheaval/recreation of our society. To read some of this, take a look at the 2012 page on Wikipedia ( its about halfway down…

No Good Presidential Candidates

Moods Opinions Political

I’m not sure if I’ve mentioned this before, but I’m really disappointed that none of the mainstream candidates say anything about our rising debt or insane amount of spending. I heard Obama say that if we pulled American Armed Forces out of Iraq then we could spend all of that…

Are you afraid to look poor?

Career Moods Opinions

This article from MSN Money really struck me. Lately I’ve been thinking about buying a new vehicle, and part of my reasoning is that I’m working as a techguy at the hospital. My thought is that if I have to drive to one of our remote sites, other people might…
