I'm starting to get the feeling that the problem John McCain has regarding his run for the Presidency is that he's oblivious to what the American people want. Poll after poll (I realize polls are skewed - particularly push-polls - and are really no way to truly gauge information or opinion) shows that the American people want change. An overwhelming majority in this country are fed up with Bush, Cheney, the war in Iraq, the economy, etc... ad nauseum. McCain seems to be clinging onto the Bush administration tighter than John Goodman wearing size 30 jeans (sorry for the visual). I just don't get it. 8 years ago, Bush, Rove et al. used dirty, slimy scurrilous tactics to discredit McCain as a legitimate worthy candidate/opponent. In case you don't know, the big one was canvas calling people in South Carolina saying something to the effect of "Did you know John McCain has an illegitimate black child?!", refering to the Somalian girl he and his 2nd wife, Cind...

Just watch this: This makes me happy and proud to be more of an American that George W. Bush will ever be. GOLF?!?!?!?!

I know. I'm delving into deep, deep philosophical tenets after a hiatus, but I really wanna know! Here's the situation (as far as I know): I work Sunday through Thursday; 9pm-6am. I know, eesh, but the job is good and solid and I am finally getting paid pretty well. This co-worker works night shifts too, but on the weekends as well. Personally, I would just tell them that the schedule does not work for me and to try spreading the crap shifts around so everyone can rotate so no one feels like they have to take all the crap shifts (she's been bitching about - so she tells me - for 5 months). Last Thursday was a crazy day at work. Lots of calls from theaters with problems. - BTW, My position is International Digital Coordinator. When a movie theater is screening a film digitally, I am one of the people that makes sure the theater has the hard drive with the film and the "keys" to open the film so it can be projected. There's a lot of minutiae in...

OK, here's my first try at adding an MP3 file to my blog.  I felt it appropriate to use the first demo I ever made as the test.  It's me doing Peace, Love & Understanding.  Again, this is my very first demo, so be kind

Remarks of Senator Barack Obama Constitution Center Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Tuesday 18 March 2008 I can't wait to see how Fucked Ruse* spins this! *(Fucked Ruse is what I call Fox "News") TEXT OF SPEECH: As prepared for delivery. "We the people, in order to form a more perfect union." Two hundred and twenty one years ago, in a hall that still stands across the street, a group of men gathered and, with these simple words, launched America's improbable experiment in democracy. Farmers and scholars; statesmen and patriots who had traveled across an ocean to escape tyranny and persecution finally made real their declaration of independence at a Philadelphia convention that lasted through the spring of 1787. The document they produced was eventually signed but ultimately unfinished. It was stained by this nation's original sin of slavery, a question that divided the colonies and brought the conventi...

So, a group of about 12 of us took a stroll down Hollywood Blvd. on Saturday to protest the war. We started at Scott and Paul's place for some pre-march activities, then walked down to the Metro. Got off at Hollywood/Vine - where the march started - and showed our support for getting the USA out of this ridiculous quagmire of a catastrophe douchebags call the War on Terror (which, as we all know, is stupid because you can't declare a war on a strategy). It was quite a turn out. We walked west on Hollywood, took a left on Schraeder, then another left on Sunset. Ended up in front of the CNN building on Sunset/Cahuenga. There was a stage set up for several speakers, including Mike (B.J. Hunnicut) Farrell and Ron (Born on the Fourth of July) Kovic. It was difficult to hear the speakers as we were not really close enough to the stage, but I think I got the gist of what was being said. Stuff I already know but have no problem hearing again. This war is a strain on the count...

I put this up on my MySpace profile, but I had to have it on my blog too. This is brilliant. The (very brief) pauses get me every time.
