With luck.
Looking at my class sheet I counted the number of classes left for me to take before school will be over for me. Including the two I have for next quarter, which are the only two I can have due to certain restrictions. I have seven classes left. So minus the two i will be doing next quarter, one that is key to get to the others I'll have five left. Of those five, two are necessary, while a third is there just because. That leaves two. Then done, and what a wild ride it will have been during that whole time. Getting up before the sun rises, grinding out day after day. All that however is secondary to this, I need to find employment. Looking in this city for such is nearly a lost cause, so that means travel. Most likely place I'd rather not but may need to. So long as the cost of the back and forth is offset by the pay by more than three quarters, I do believe it would be worth while. On another front, I do know someone that said they've give me employment but to get it would entail moving. All well and good perhaps, but it's to a city that is filled with crime and thieves. Even before commenting about the residents that live there. On top of that, it would be far too close to walking eagle. Close enough that the temptation to really get back into the swing of exposing it for the lies it so easily spews. Granted I could see about the seasonal stuff for certain locations or perhaps hook up with a traveling type of IT group. Get to see the world snippets at a time, might be fun doing that. Anyway, Christmas is here. I'm well, again. For the most part, had this sucktastic illness two weeks ago, couldn't breathe if I was laying down, sitting up could hardly breathe. When I wasn't coughing up lung butter I was blowing out my sinuses. Muscles, joints, eyes hurt, and my skin ached. Was hot, then cold, then hot again. Could barely see without getting the feeling of being dizzy. I know I got ill in the last week of school, which made it that much harder to deal with. That whole not being able to sleep thing because of a lack of ability to easily breathe plus aching. then was the next week, my first off for holiday, spent mostly hacking, coughing and groaning in pain, not wanting to eat but knowing I should. Now I'm better, oh yes, much better than I was. Fox Out. Current Mood: awakeCurrent Music: Journey - Don't Stop Beleivin' | | Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009 | | 8:24 am |
Updates from afar
Well I guess it's time again to put something here so here goes. If things go as I would like, I have about three more quarters to go before I graduate. If not, it'll be another year. *ugh* As predicted, democrats are seeking to make new taxes, with the latest round being. "health care" and "war surtax" on top of other taxes on the rich, when the sliding scale of who is rich changes with the whims of whoever is creating new taxes. So it becomes a "tax the rich" scam and the classification of who is rich comes down to "Anyone making more than 100k a year. Now correct me if I'm a bit off on this, but wouldn't that work out to be roughly $50hr? Sounds like allot, and it is to someone that makes about $7.50hr. But that's not the point, who makes $50hr, lets see... Computer programmers -depending on location-, master/journeyman plumber/pipe fitters, journeyman/master electricians, architects, small business owners, some police officers, some fire fighters, teachers, Carpenters, doctors, lawyers, and a host of other occupations. All of which have one thing in common, the need for an education and skill set to do. So in a sense a 'tax on the rich' is a punishment for getting an education and having specialized skills to do your job. Hurts to know that now doesn't it? Knowing that all the folks who chanted " we won" when democrats took control, were blinded by their own hate for republicans, that they failed to see the future in which taxation will flow as easily as water downhill. On other news, apparently ford is going to be putting coyotes in their mustangs and trucks. Need proof of that? Well have a gander at this Coyote under the hood. I can already foresee a few stories about this coming out as the news spreads further. After all, it does good to have a fox body with a coyote engine, still figuring where to stuff a wolf in there, ideas perhaps? Perhaps I should also clarify something before I get a "you hate our troops" message from someone. I love our troops and I do speak with a few from time to time who are on active duty and over there in the sandbox as they say. I wish them to be safe and come home as swiftly as possible with all things they left with and without any extra unwanted holes. I do this every time I speak with them. I'm not against support for our troops, what I am against is the creation of a new tax to "pay for the war" when already we are paying for the war with various taxes, on income tax, social security tax, welfare tax, death tax, inheritance tax, Ad valorem tax, Capital gains tax, Consumption tax, Corporation tax, Environment Affecting Tax, Excise tax, Expatriation Tax, Inflation tax, Poll tax, Property tax, Retirement tax, Sales tax, Transfer tax, Value Added Tax / Goods and Services Tax, Wealth Tax, Dividend Tax, Estate Tax, Gas Tax, Phone Tax, Electronic commerce tax, Road tax, Heavy Vehicle Tax, 'Guzzler' tax, Luxury Tax, Shoe tax, Medical Tax, Bottled Water Tax, Ticket Tax, Air Travel Tax, Home Heating/cooling Tax, License Tax, Birth Tax, Fat Tax, Sugar Tax, Email tax, Rail Tax, Toll Tax, Bridge Tax, Investment Tax, Self Employment Tax, Unemployment Tax, Payroll Tax, Air Tax, Steel Tax, Elective Surgery Tax, Plastic Tax, Wood Tax, Alcohol Tax, Gun tax, Hunting Tax, Stone Tax, Boat Tax, Coffee Tax, Drug Tax, TV Tax, Cable Tax, Parking Tax, Driving Tax, Riding Tax, Pet Tax, Game Tax, Movie Tax... Etc, etc. Or in other words, say if, for example everyone that was eligible to pay income tax, actually paid income tax to the tune of $1000, figure there are of the 306,000,000 citizens in the US. About 280,000,000 are eligible tax payers so that would be this right? 280,000,000 * 1000 = 280,000,000,000. Hmm.. 280 Billion in just income tax alone. Figure the entire tax bill per individual to be on the order of $3480 -this includes income tax, SS tax, other various taxes but not all taxes- 280,000,000 * 3480 = 974,400,000,000. Just about 26 billion short of a Trillion right? Want an idea of what a Trillion looks like? Go here.Fox Out.

Old movies
Anyone that can recall it, the movie The Never Ending Story, was one that I did enjoy seeing. Although watching bits of it now I can't help but think how... Lame it is. I mean it, although I do like the movie still, it's just not one I can really sit down and watch to enjoy like I once did. It's sad to think about now I suppose, looking at old favorites that when I was much younger I really did enjoy greatly, only now with a more cynical eye do I think. "Man this is about the lamest thing I've seen in a long time." Even still though the concept of the movie is a nice one and more than a few things do stand up for life lessons. Even much of the puppetry and animatronics are still very keen. Take for example Falcor, the luck dragon. Sure he looks like a giant cotton candy flying hotdog, but in allot of the scenes the up close work is fairly well done for pre-miniature servo and realistic CG work. While thinking about a luck dragon has 'this is so lame' written all over it, I still like it. Falcor is cool. On that same spectrum we have Gmork, the wolf. You remember him right? Was the creature of darkness that began his quest hunting/tracking the main character that wasn't telling/reading the story. Barly missed in the swamps of sadness, and was killed in a cave with a rock that looked allot like a chefs knife. Also, Gmork was cool, even if kinda scary, and apparently a much needed point of knowledge to move the plot along. I would get into other movies, like Warriors of Virtue, five kangaroos that are Earth, Fire, Wood, Water, and Metal. All points of the Japanese points of power, you know... Wood splits earth, so wood is stronger than earth, fire burns wood, so fire is stronger than wood, water kills fire and nourishes wood, earth can kill fire but is weak against water. Metal can cut wood, divide earth, and turn water but is broken by fire... A complex string of weaker/stronger that when together are in harmony. Oh and they know various martial arts, and somewhere in the movie their teacher fights a guy using a single reed of wheat against a sword. h While not the fight scene I was referring to, it's still a fairly neat one. But the animatronics are very limited, still neat to kill time with if not to wonder how hard was it to fight in those suits. The Country Bears good/excellent animatronic work. But it's not complete without a semi-grunt from Elton John standing up and lumbering over. Fox Out.

Phase in and out.
Once again it is time for a near lame duck posting of something that isn't all that interesting, but then again. What is interesting about something like shoes, or how hammers are made? Nothing in particular is interesting about these items, although some items are well worth a good look at being crafted perhaps just toget a general idea of what all is involved. Swords Curling Stones Condoms Caskets Safes & False Teeth Part 2 where it cuts off I leave the rest up to you to find and watch. With this sort of knowledge perhaps things around you every day won't hold such a unknown factor. Fox Out.

What is this?
Another update?! It's not been months since the last one yet, so what gives? Well nothing really, just a few concerns about this or that. mainly a ideal of notation that I've been doing work for Gameforge for quite a long time. Over a year now, and barring a few days of no power/modem for dialup. I've not missed a single day. Congrats for me. :) I've been called the energizer bunny of staff members due I think I large part to not having taken a break for any real length of time that was not forced. Although next month I may have to, depending on how things work out. If I don't then I'll work on maybe another year of solid daily service of at least a hour up to nine hours daily of admin work in dealing with player gripes and whines about how the rules are unfair when they get applied to them, but are not unfair when applied to others. Seriously, that is a main topic for some of the more hardcore complainers. that I and other staff members do not enforce the rules hard enough for others that break the rules, but we are too harsh when they break the rules and get punished. Never mind that everyone gets the same thing no matter who they are or how much they contribute. This is also another contention that some players have, that if they are paying members -It's a free game to play BTW- that the rules should not apply to them as stringently because they are paying members and not the crass 'free player'. They also forget that at one time they were the same much sneered at 'free player'. I do still enjoy doing it so don't get me wrong about it, I really do like it, allot. Although there are times when I've considred saying to my boss, fuck this shit. I'm gone. Then I consider it for a while and laugh before seeking out the very player(s) that caused me to think such thoughts and putting them under a microscope to make use of their rules infractions I was over looking because I didn't care at the time that they had languages other than English in their description, or are sending messages to others that are not in english, or even that mistake of attacking the one time more than they were allowed but it didn't get reported because they appologised. Each of those breaks a rule, and by not enforcing the rules I would be guilty of encouraging rule breaking by the players that claim we don't enforce the rules as much as we need to. So I enforce the rules, then suddenly I'm being too harsh... After that, i get a warm and fuzzy feeling of pleasure and just say then simply. "Rules are rules, what I was allowing you to get away with because I didn't feel like enforcing on you, won't happen anymore. I suggest you adhere to the rules from now own." Then i smile and go about causing havoc and players to snap to attention for a few weeks or so before I relax again. As for the paying players being removed from the game, by another rule that is the terms and conditions for game play, if they get banned (banished) from the game server and if they have put real money in the form of special items into such account that is now banned and the fault of getting banned in thiers. They will not get a refund of any funds invested. So far my money count for such players is about $15,000 for five servers total in a year. It's not the highest which was my old boss, his was over three and a half years and ten servers, nearly $300,000. Although it's not the highest, it is respectable and as much as I've want it, I don't get the money. But just the same, Life is good. Even more so when I get a high roller for a permanent game ban infraction and their acocunt jsut had a hefty sum lain on it. Mentioning that, I do have the highest all time single dollar amount on an account that got banned and money not refunded: $2,300. A personal best, yet unmatched or challenged. It's also little wonder why we don't tell players out addresses or give out phone numbers. Fox Out.

Yay update... Finally, again....
Well, schooling is drawing more towards the end than the beginning, all that's left now are one or two small things, like English, Speech, Phyc, Math, possibly another programming language. Possibly. Another AC has come and I'm not there. Maybe sometime later I'll return. Am older by another year, 30 is not so bad now, still sucks to be 30 and jobless though. But at least I'm working on ending that. I've all but gone totally missing to the world and for that I've most likly made a few folks chew their finger nails wondering where and if I'll pop up again. I'm not going to encourage folks, but if you want to play Bitefight, it's a free game of Werewolves vs. Vampires put on by GameForge. this is not to be confused with Monsters Game, which is pretty well a cookie cutter of the same thing, right down to more or less the layout and from what I've seen, the rules as well. Also if your luck is good enough with BiteFight, you may land on a server that I control, I can't promise I'll go easy on you, but if you read the rules and ask questions when you're unsure, stay calm, and be respectful. Chances are you'll get a fair shake no matter what the problem is. I have a new toy that rocks socks, what it is will not be told for now. A club sandwich does make for a nice breakfast, nothing beats free eating, even if the food is bad. It's still free so eat enough to make sure you wouldn't pay for the privledge of eating bad food. Stuntman is still alive and is bigger now, Stuntman-Mike if you don't know if one of the two cats we have, Becka is the other one. Becka likes 'crying' whenever she gets pointed at, touched, reached for, looked at crossways, or stepped towards. Stuntman sometimes talks to his self and loves climbing into boxes and bags. Becka still drools if she gets really relaxed, and they both know that the word 'Hungery' means. Walking Eagle is still walking due to being so full of shit it can't fly. Last word was it had yet _another_ boyfriend resuce it from a 'abusive relationship'. One in which it was expected to actually get up in the mornings and find work, and work. *GASP* Of all the nerve of expecting it to support its habits and help pay bills. That's just criminal abuse. That appears to be it for now, I'll see about soemthing a wee bit more regular in the future. Fox Out.

Developments.
1: Still in school learning much. finsihed my main classes for Cisco and windows xp/server 2k3. Have not yet taken the certification ocurses. Thinking baout getting A+ certified as well, in the prepclass for that now. Finally got through my first math class, two more to go. Englishs classes, speech, the math classes and my last A+ cert class. 2: Put my 20 bore back together from parts after obtaining a trigger set and cross pin. Sure it required minor fitting but it's all good now, still need shells for it. 3: Aquired many many Terry Pratchett audio books, from the looks of it. The entire Disk World series. Also have the Gunslinger series. Getting the Bourne series, well the last book of the series since there are five. Also aquired the Dresden Files which is a neat series. 4: Compeated again and Samnang shone brilliantly. Afterward we made several dozen squirrels turn to a vaporous reddish pink mist and it felt good. 7.92 millimeters makes a wonerful red mist of small furred critters, and yes. The largest bits were cleaned and cooked. 5: My nylon requires a scope again but it's very fine to dust dirt clods and knock pine cones out of limbs. Same with my 10/22, a very fine set of rifles those are. 6: I've been promoted in my gaming administrative duties. I'm also disliked more because of my duties and that in some instances my word is final. I've also not updated this in a while to give a view of what's been going on in my life. I guess that's that then. Fox Out. Current Mood: goodCurrent Music: Terry Pratchett - Men At Arms | | Thursday, February 5th, 2009 | | 2:15 pm |
A nice story
Snopes says the story about Easy Eddie is true, but he did this to protect himself, not as a lesson for his son. No one knows, but when these stories are read together it makes you think that good did prevail. worth reading STORY NUMBER ONE Many years ago, Al Capone virtually owned Chicago . Capone wasn't famous for anything heroic He was notorious for enmeshing the windy city in everything from bootlegged booze and prostitution to murder. Capone had a lawyer nicknamed "Easy Eddie." He was Capone's lawyer for a good reason. Eddie was very good! In fact, Eddie's skill at legal maneuvering kept Big Al out of jail for a long time. To show his appreciation, Capone paid him v ery well. Not only was the money big, but Eddie got special dividends, as well. For instance, he and his family occupied a fenced-in mansion with live-in help and all of the conveniences of the day. The estate was so large that it filled an entire Chicago City block. Eddie lived the high life of the Chicago mob and gave little consideration to the atrocity that went on around him. Eddie did have one soft spot, however. He had a son that he loved dearly. Eddie saw to it that his young son had clothes, cars, and a good education. Nothing was withheld. Price was no object. And, despite his involvement with organized crime, Eddie even tried to teach him right from wrong. Eddie wanted his son to be a better man than he was. Yet, with all his wealth and influence, there were two things he couldn't give his son; he couldn't pass on a good name or a good example. One day, Easy Eddie reached a difficult decision. Easy Eddie wanted to rectify wrongs he had done . He decided he would go to the authorities and tell the truth about Al "Scarface" Capone, clean up his tarnished name, and offer his son some semblance of integrity.. To do this, he would have to testify against The Mob, and he knew that the cost would be great. So, he testified. Within the year, Easy Eddie's life ended in a blaze of gunfire on a lonely Chicago Street . But in his eyes, he had given his son the greatest gift he had to offer, at the greatest price he could ever pay. Police removed from his pockets a rosary, a crucifix, a religious medallion, and a poem clipped from a magazine. The poem read: "The clock of lif e is wound but once, and no man has the power to tell just when the hands will stop, at late or early hour. Now is the only time you own. Live, love, toil with a will. Place no faith in time. For r the clock may soon be still." STORY NUMBER TWO World War II produced many heroes. One such man was Lieutenant Commander Butch O'Hare. He was a fighter pilot assigned to the aircraft carrier Lexington in the South Pacific. One day his entire squadron was sent on a mission. After he was airborne, he looked at his fuel gauge and realized that someone had forgotten to top off h is fuel tank. He would not have enough fuel to complete his mission and get back to his ship. His flight leader told him to return to the carrier. Reluctantly, he dropped out of formation and headed back to the fleet. As he was returning to the mother ship, he saw something that turned his blood cold; a squadron of Japanese aircraft was speeding its way toward the American fleet. The American fighters were gone on a sortie, and the fleet was all but defenseless. He couldn't reach his squadron and bring them back in time to save the fleet Nor could he warn the fleet of the approaching danger. There was only one thing to do. He must somehow divert them from the fleet. Laying aside all thoughts of personal safety, he flew into the formation of Japanese planes. Wing- mounted 50 calibers blazed as he charged in, attacking one surprised enemy plane and then another. Butch wove in and out of the now broken formation and fired at as many planes as possible until all his ammunition was finally spent. Undaunted, he continued the assault. He flew at the planes, trying to clip a wing or tail in hopes of damaging as many enemy planes as possible, rendering them unfit to fly. Finally, the exasperated Japanese squadron took off in another direction. Deeply relieved, Butch O'Hare and his tattered fighter limped back to the carrier. Upon arrival, he reported in and related the event surrounding his return. The film from the gun-camera mounted on his plane told the tale. It showed the extent of Butch's daring attempt to protect his fleet. He had, in fact, destroyed f ive enemy aircraft This took place on February 20, 1942 , and for that action Butch became the Navy's first Ace of W.W.II, and the first Naval Aviator to win the Congressional Medal of Honor. A year later Butch was killed in aerial combat at the age of 29. His home town would not allow the memory of this WW II hero to fade, and today, O'Hare Airport in Chicago is named in tribute to the courage of this great man. So, the next time you find yourself at O'Hare International, give some thought to visiting Butch's memorial displaying his statue and his Medal of Honor. It's located between Terminals 1 and 2. SO WHAT DO THESE TWO STORIES HAVE TO DO WITH EACH OTHER? Butch O'Hare was "Easy Eddie's" son. Yes, still alive. Still working, in shcool.

I gave that up long ago.
It should come as no real wonder I gave up a daily update. This was due in large part to getting repedative with what I was going to write about. Secondary to which I got lazy and didn't want to spend a extra ten minutes tapping something out after spending more than a 'few' hours in front of a computer. So what has happened betwene then and now? Finished up my skill set classes, for cisco and windows server 2k3. Still need to take the certification test for Cisco. Had a eye infection that cleared up after a couple days. Got a cat, who's about half wild. Named him stuntman mike. Got another cat who will drool if you love on her allot. Her name is Becka. Dad at last hear was back in the hospital for another stroke, this time he'll be going to a 24hr care home and is most likly in such a home now. I've gotten to where I really dislike not having or being able to do what I like. I still hate McDonalds, they still screw my order up. How hard is it to get a #2 Large, right? Sobe power or energy and a ham&cheese hotpocket, or steak&cheese hotpocket make a quick but not filling breakfast. I feel like I made a good call back when I said that democrats would make new taxes and/or raise old taxes. So everyone that says you 'won', yes. You won alright, more taxes, higher taxes and more government intrusion in your life all in the name of being fair. Fox Out.

Get ready for rough times ahead. http://www.carolinajournal.com/articles/display_story.html?id=5081RALEIGH — Democrats in the U.S. House have been conducting hearings on proposals to confiscate workers’ personal retirement accounts — including 401(k)s and IRAs — and convert them to accounts managed by the Social Security Administration. Now I'm not fan of the US Communist and defeatest report, but sometimes they do hit the nail on the head. Which by proxy of chance can happen if you swing a hammer often enough. http://www.usnews.com/blogs/capital-commerce/2008/10/23/would-obama-dems-kill-401k-plans.htmlHouse Democrats recently invited Teresa Ghilarducci, a professor at the New School of Social Research, to testify before a subcommittee on her idea to eliminate the preferential tax treatment of the popular retirement plans. In place of 401(k) plans, she would have workers transfer their dough into government-created "guaranteed retirement accounts" for every worker. The government would deposit $600 (inflation indexed) every year into the GRAs. Each worker would also have to save 5 percent of pay into the accounts, to which the government would pay a measly 3 percent return. Rep. Jim McDermott, a Democrat from Washington and chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee's Subcommittee on Income Security and Family Support, said that since "the savings rate isn't going up for the investment of $80 billion [in 401(k) tax breaks], we have to start to think about whether or not we want to continue to invest that $80 billion for a policy that's not generating what we now say it should." http://www.heritage.org/research/taxes/wm1973.cfmRepresentatives of the Obama campaign have informed the authors that the campaign is not committed to the full 12.4 hike in the payroll tax. An increase in the payroll tax is merely one of many different tax increases that are being considered for those making over $250,000. The Obama campaign implies that the tax increase on those earning over $250,000 may not be limited to earnings but also cover different types of income. Despite questioning, the campaign has not provided any more details. -Differnt types of income: Selling your house, selling stock, taking out a home loan, selling a car, selling pictures or other entertainment pieces, getting 'donations'. - http://www.nypost.com/seven/06142008/news/nationalnews/obama_tax_plan_raises_big_bracket_115443.htmThough Obama's tax-hike plan is still vague, it appears the tax would apply also to employers who match workers' payments, amounting to another proposed tax increase on businesses. http://www.realclearmarkets.com/articles/2008/09/how_will_obamas_tax_plan_impac.htmlTo understand what’s at stake it’s important to consider not just how much money people earn, but how much in income taxes they now pay. We seem to have lost sight of how drastically this differs for households in different brackets. Simply put, at $250,000 in taxable annual income, a married couple filing taxes jointly would now pay about $62,000 in federal income taxes. By contrast, a couple earning $50,000 a year, which is about the median income in the U.S., would pay $6,750 in taxes. Although the $250,000 couple is in the 33 percent tax bracket (meaning every additional $1 in taxable income they would earn is taxed at 33 percent), the couple is actually paying about 25 percent of their total taxable income to the feds. At the same time, the median income couple pays about 13.5 percent of their income in taxes. In actual dollars, this translates into slightly less than 10 dollars in taxes from the higher income couple for every one collected from the median income family. http://www.nysun.com/opinion/good-bad-of-obamas-tax-plan/84224/Still, Mr. Obama's tax plan is unfortunate because it flies in the face of his own objectives. Indeed, as Messrs. Furman and Goolsbee noted, "Sen. Obama believes that one of the principle problems facing the economy today is the lack of discretionary income for middle-class wage earners." Thank you for voting in new taxes, revamping of old taxes and encouraging mediocrity. Couldn't have done it without you. this gets right into workers who invested the time to get training an dother education, invested time in their work to earn their money only to have most of it taken away and given to folks who chose to do nothing because of some 'entitlement' or some such bullshit. Why would I want to keep going to school, gain a CCNA Certification or higher, just so I cna be punished for by having more of my income taken away and given to some prick who's life ambition is to stay living in public housing and getting welfare checks. I'm sick and damn tired of seeing and feleing the drag of social parasites draining every bit of spare money away just to keep theirselves in grills, rims and 40's. I have no problem with anyone that activly wants and activly seeks ways to make a life for theirself and their family. My only issue is with those that do nothing but social leech of the success of everyone else. that make a bad image ofr those around them and cheapen the success of others by having the bar for success lowered when not enough can clear it. The defeatacrats now have a perfect storm, either a total majority to ram their 'save everyone plan' down our throats and if you disagree with the president (elect) you're racist. Oh yea, watch out for 2010, because that's when the current tax concessions end, and evryone has already said they will jsut let it die infavor of their new tax 'the rich' plan. So everyone in the 30k - 90k range. Get ready to have your taxes go up again in 2010, and have your wealth redistributed. With the only saving grace out of all of this is, there is another election in 2 years and the democrats fucking the pooch so badly between now and then they get voted out, and then again in four years.

Where did he go.
It's little surprise to hear that I do not like democrats, mainly for their say and do anything to get a vote and blame passing. Anyone recall back when the chant of "we won" went up when the democrata took control of the house and senate and change was promised. That spending would be cut in half and evrey dollar accounted for? Anyone recall that? In the first quarter after taking control of the house an senate, spending more than doubled on any and everything. No one is acounting for the money spent because of, surprise surprise, democrats found it prudent to put in regulations and roadblocks to keep what they spend money on private until they decide that the voters need to know about it. Just before the 2006 elections, the deficet was on track to be gone by this time and we would have a surplus. Now, it's at the highest point its been in recorded history, non-inflation adjusted. Yet still, democrats are making more spending promises to the tune of a extra 1.2 TRILLION for 2009. Where's this money going to come from? Magically out of thin air? Oh wait, taxes. That's where the democrats always tap extra money, expand tax programs and print more money, make the value of the dollar even less, because everyone knows. More money means you can spend more. History shows this to be the veyr typical motive for a democrat. 1978-79. Democrat control, congress and whitehouse, huge deficet high taxes on everything. Again up to about 1994, massive taxes on everything, spending out of control. Value of the US dollar drops in both because of printing excess. Now it's going to happen again, I called it back months ago when I said that democrats would do more harm than good. Back BEFORE the houseing market took a total shit because no one had oversight and everyone was getting their palms greased, especially democrats. Mark my words, if dems take the presidential seat, look for more taxes on everything becuase they will claim Rebulicans don't help them. Look for less investment on this country and more investment in other countries. The US to be made a fool of because of spineless leadership and the tax base to be re-arranged again. So that anyone who makes over 25k a year will fall into the 'rich' catagory to have their taxes go up. So thank you all who vote democrat, you've just screwed everyone. Fox Out.

The obligatory not dead post.
No, I'm not dead or am I in hiding. Just taking a extended break from everything for a while so i can keep my school work up and stay up on some admin work I managed to pick up from Bitefight.org, yes I'm now in charge of two servers since the admin for one bugged out some strange reason. Anyway, seven years on and today is a good day. It's overcast/cloudy/raining, a general day that has depression and remorse written all over it. Gone but not forgotten. But now for something Grey should like to hear about but I've been too lazy in saying it. We're getting a certified Mac dealer here in town and I have access to one of these badboys. A IMac 24inch at the school, already installed and putting this update through on it. You were/are right. I do like this Mac, I really really *REALLY* like this Mac. We should be installing another one soon and or converting some of the new other machines to dual boot windows/mac. General specs: 1TB HD Machine Model: iMac4,1 CPU Type: Intel Core Duo Number Of Cores: 2 CPU Speed: 2 GHz L2 Cache (shared): 2 MB Memory: 512 MB Bus Speed: 667 MHz Boot ROM Version: IM41.0039.B00 SMC Version: 1.1f2 So anyway, here's to a 5 week vacation from LJ and a blurb showing I'm still alive.

I miss..
I miss the feel of a warm body to hold at night when it's cold. I miss being able to talk to someone about anything, I miss allot of things, but most of all I miss being happy. Well i am kinda happy, but I'm not jumping aound laughing till I puke happy. I want to be happy like I use dto be when I did things because I wanted to and the only one I had to answer to was myself. that's what I'm working towards now and damn, it will feel good to be that way again. But at least now I'm caught up on my posts and maybe I'll remember to do more tomorrow and keep a daily something in here. if I don't then I'd have failed to do that, if I do then I did do it. Do or do not, never try. Failures talk about doing their best. Fox Out. Current Mood: goodCurrent Music: Nickelback - Photograph | | Wednesday, July 30th, 2008 | | 5:17 pm |
