Chicken In.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, working 40 hours a week, communting 7 hours a week and sleeping about 40 hours a week doesn't leave too much time for anything. Sorry that this blog has managed to take some time to get onto, I have had consistant thoughts about writing, but virtually no spare time to really get it done.
The job, well, I think Cingular is one of those companies that manages to find blogs where people talk shit about them and they seem like the top that would like more than anything to use it against the person, so I'll refrain from discussion. The job is fine for the most part, but the things that I do not like, I will say that it seems to make the most amount of sense to just focus on the positive parts and refrain from the rest.

I am starting to get busy with the 826 program stuff--we have a reading on Monday night at Elliot Bay for a writer that is supposed to be the hot bred topic of fiction right now-- but then again I was reading Vanity Fair www.vanityfair.com last night and they have an interview with Cormac McCarthy who has his first novel out in a decade or so. Interesting guy because he is slightly reclusive and fairly outspoke about how dull people really are-- which is what I have noticed.

Anyway, enough of the bullshit and back to my favorite topic--- politics.. So, lets see how the media, the "liberal media" can manage to drop the Rove issue and move onto something else. They almost have to do it (move on) because it doesnt matter what happens, Bush is not going to fire him because he can't survive without Rove. If he was smart, he would fire him and put him on personal retainer. The press would find out and have a field day with it, but Bush doesn't really give a shit, he knows he has the country by the balls and we as pathetic patriots won't get involved in the ongoing fiasco. The Bush administraion is starting to make the Nixon administration look like the Carter administration!
Let's recall what has happened in the last 5 years
911 (Yes, I think Bush is slightly at fault)
Afganistan (Osama bin Laden in the hills orf Tora Bora with a respirator)
Invasion of Iraq (WMD...no Saddamn is an "evil Doer" ok, but what about the rest of the shitbags in the world)
Pissing off South Korea
Pulling out of Kyoto
Oil Drilling in Alaska
The Downing Street Memo
Karl Rove ratting out a CIA agent because her husband made comments about the "war" in Iraq.

Oh, and the stock market--that is one that I just keep forgetting!!!
HAHAHAHA

Okay, back to work. Just thought I woud drop a line--more this weekend, I promise! Read more!

Ahhh yes, the War of the Worlds.

After months of speculation, War of the Worlds finally emerged from the rumor mill. Speilburg, god bless his soul said in just about every interview I saw that he had been waiting to make this movie his whole life. Well, Mr. Spielburg, I think you probably should have waited a lot longer. This film does not deliver on any level what should be intended from the masterpiece.
First off, I am convinced Speilburg has a man crush on Mr. Scientology.

Secondly, the film needs to be about the human condition and the violence of the apocolypse, not about a man and his dysfunctional family--we got the opportunity to invest in a family that doesn't care about itself, so why do we need to? The film spends too much time attempting to invest itself in the faith and values tour and not enough time in focusing on what the movie is about--that we are being invaded by aliens and the race is being lost-humanity is over as we know it and we spend too much time in the family structure watching a group of characters that are bitchy and not fun to keep an eye on.

The eye candy factor is good, but there is no stroy line--not why they are here, not what all the bloody veins mean for the area, nothing. The story focuses more on the family than on the conflict, which might work if this was the War of the Roses....

The film itself isnt anything stunningly amazing either--there is no need to see this in the theatres--the good eye candy scenes are in the preview reels--trust me--dont waste the 9.00 to see it--go see Layer Cake instead. Read more!

London Calling

Another moment in history that has a direct corrolation to who we elected to be our leader. The British tip their hat to you, George W. Bush. For those of you out there who do not blame our actions in the Middle East, I must ask, when are you going to come to your senses?

Yes, the true blame is on these terrorists, but in reality, we give them the fuel for their fires. This is done in several levels, most of which come directly in our involvement in affairs that we have no business really being involved in. The billions that we spend in the name of freedom is never going to be able to stop these bombings from happening. THERE IS NO STOPPING THIS UNLESS WE STOP GLOBALISM.

Think of it in this rationale: Family and honor are a big thing in the middle eastern culture. There is also an eradication of the middle class, so there is either the super wealthy or there are the poor. The poor are an easy target to bring into the terrorist network because they have no options and they know it. It's not like how it is in here in the United States where we are marketed to think that everyone can have the American Dream--these people know they are fucked-period. So, Johhny Jihad comes along and offers you a free ticket into the arms of Allah via a small bomb that will take your life out of this miserable existance. And--if you act now, Johhny Jihad will also include at no extra charge, $50,000 cash to you family so that they might have opportunities for that dream of being able to eat every day. All you have to do is strap this device to your arse.
Where do I sign up?

So, how do we fix this? Well, I can tell you that it is not going to be repaired by introducing them to the George W. Bush faith and impearlism plan. I am not saying the answer is going to be an easy one, but I can tell you that encouraging war and fighting fire with nuclear fire is not the way to do it and the global polls show this.

The other issue overall is what this is doing to the decline of the USA on the world marketplace. The thing about politics is that people don't really care if you are the world leader as long as you are at the table and it seems you are paying attention to the needs of the global community. The problem now is that being on the American side is beginning to get costly for people and we as a nation are not putting on the dog and pony show we once were. The other issue is that America is quickly becoming broke, but the media is not paying attention to that-- we dont want to alarm the people, after all....

Don't believe me? Consider this: Think about how much money we have spent since 911-from the rebuilding efforts to the War in Iraq to the loss in the market, to the cessation of the social programs--all of indicators are there, but we refuse to allow for an open debate of this. The republicans sit behind their shield of faith and values and the democrats are immediatly discounted at the table from these people. It just isnt right and the rest of the world watches with their heads shaking. We are more concerned with what Paris Hilton is up to then what our president is trying to do to fix the mess that he has gotten us in.

It's not complicated. Everyone knew we were going to invade Iraq and 911 gave him the key to the city to invade. Bush needs to be brought up on war crimes when he leaves office-- he keeps shaking the hornets nest and the rest of the world gets stung. It isn't going to be too long before the finger gets pointed directly at W. and he is not going to have a copy of "my pet goat" to hide behind....

this country saddens me this day. Read more!
