Journal Journal: CITY at the center of THE WORLD 8

So I was telling SIELWOLF about my trip to TIMES SQUARE in NEW YORK CITY... THE CITY, in NEW YORK STATE, where I picked up a HOOKER, and it turned out to be AL PACINO. He was working on SCENT OF A WOMAN at the time, and kept saying HOO-HAH.

Journal Journal: We care about 1

business, not about you.

A look into the future of this country thanks to the Republicans and their war on EPA regulation for the sake of industry, a rural elementary school in WV has developed a high incidence of black lung disease and other respiratory disorders.

Yes, kids with coal miner diseases.

The cause, a nearby coal mine pumping coal dust into the air. In full compliance with current clean air regulations(which Bush wants to loosen!).

Journal Journal: Changing my position 52

I will change my position on abortion when those advocating the overturn of Roe v. Wade also advocate that the mothers suffer the same penalties as the doctor(as they are equally culpable). It being murder, that penalty would be death.

Ahh, but there are exceptions, right? But wait, that's still a life, right? So that means ending it, regardless of how it got there, is of course murder. So now we have raped women and victims of incest guilty of murder for ending the pregnancy.

Journal Journal: Reflections 4

I had a conversation with Mekkab a long time ago about help desks and why they don't help. The short answer is, helpfulness isn't what's measured, stats are. And stats are built up by keeping the queue clear. Getting you off the phone ASAP or to call back.

Journal Journal: As Chaucer said 3

In his 1385 work 'Troilus and Criseyde', and I'm paraphrasing here, "People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones."

Ok, so he actually said something along the lines of "Those who are vulnerable should not attack others." Insert a few thornes and other deprecated letters/english forms in there, maybe a nary or two, and you might hit the original. Which being Chaucer, means it was probably collected somewhere. But that's the english origin of the phrase.

Journal Journal: Miscellany or Why I like the hope diamond. 14

My favorite Museum exhibit is the Hope Diamond. Because it crushes expectations. You stand in line, you stand in line, you're expecting something the size of your fist, and you get up there and it's like a shiny piece of gravel. Oh sure, kinda pretty, but it leaves you with a "that's it!?" kind of sensation.

Oh or reconstructed pyramids, temples and castles over here. They're sacrilicious.

Now this whole freakin' mess is over. Who wants a brain slushy?

Since it's over, here's what bothered me about this mess: the executive and legislative branches of both the florida state government AND the federal government getting involved in a ONE TIME ONLY showboating manner.

So today(well, yesterday now I guess) is the day that comes on a different date every year where this religious sect of semitic origin celebrates the anniversary of the return of their god made man from a 3-day stint in hell after some nastiness with the authorities.

Journal Journal: Dum de dum 14

Welcome home RW. Next time you're down here in the Waltimore DC metroplex, let us know. I still owe ya a beer.

I, much like the dubious one, have been playing WoW and working and doing the whole living thing. WoW has eaten all the slacking time I used to spend here. I'm playing horde on stormreaver if anyone else is doing the world of warcrack as well.

Journal Journal: Happy birthday 7

Errr... Unhappy Birthday. I love this song, it makes me happy. It's so uptempo and positive.

I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
I've come to wish you an unhappy birthday
'Cause you're evil
And you lie
And if you should die
I may feel slightly sad
(But I won't cry)
