Internet in the Hands of the Government

it doesn’t take much effort to search for what’s going on with the internet in the news. even on the tv you’ll hear rumors that the government wants to take over the internet. why? to pull down the porn? haha, if only! i believe that they want to stop people saying how much the government sucks. they know that the bloggers are stronger than they are and they even probably know they’re screwing up america even more, but for some reason their corruption won’t let them stop. some say that obama’s not even on this. he’s just a pawn in this little game. this could be true, but i won’t say anything about obama. in a way i think he can be a great person, but for some reason i find it stupid how within his first couple of months in office he gets a noble peace price (one of the most honored awards, well, at least it use to be). what has the government come to? some type of scientific experiment? didn’t hitler try something like that too, but fell so hard his kids felt it? why don’t some people realize that “socialism” (communism) doesn’t work at all?

another thing i find stupid is this big debate about which party is greater. who gives a crap?!? it’s not about which party is better, it’s about who gets more things done in a more ethical way. who gives a crap about the democrats? republicans? yeah, no. you won’t go to a bbq and when you notice that they’re from the opposing party you leave. this is just another reason why i think politics is just a waste of valuable time. if you want change, go out yourself and make a difference. don’t depend on the government to do that for you cause that’s like depending on a demon for your salvation. or giving a thief your money to save your grandparent. it still never shocks me how much stupidity is going on. you want to close up all forms of freedom of speech? and how is that american? you do realize that without that freedom the people corrupting our nation wouldn’t be able to do so because of the law against it. i’m not a politician (why on earth would i want to be now a days anyway) or anyone that should be speaking about these things, but maybe that’s a good thing because i’m not corrupt so i can still see through the window and rationalize if it makes sense or doesn’t. so far, not a lot that’s going on is making sense to me. it seems to me as if people are getting less and less intelligent each year. why is this happening? is it the school system? who knows, but it is happening and must be addressed. the government shouldn’t try brainwashing their people cause the last time that happened, ummm… didn’t it go into ruins…

anyways, enough of my ranting about non-important subjects.

until next time. laters!

Scarlet Letter/Yoga

Watching one of my favorite shows (The IT Crows), i’ve realized i haven’t posted in quite some time. when i was doing my philosophy post this morning i saw an ad for clip notes for The Scarlet Letter. now i’ve read the book in high school so i can honestly say that it’s incredibly boring. i mean the whole book is talking about a forest where nobody’s allowed to go, but this couple (the male being married) and starts having an affair. now i don’t want to talk about the moral issues of sex as the individuals, but i do agree that an affair is messed up. but in the story they have to hide there “love”, but at the end they find out and she’s marked as a scarlet or whore. to me this whole book is about some stupid conservative view of sex that people brainwash younger people with. personally i wouldn’t want anyone reading this book because it’s just that stupid in my opinion, but that’s just my opinion. to each his/her own i always say.

next i want to talk about my new obsession. i’ve gotten deeply into yoga. i love it. it’s so relaxing and it’s a great way to burn calories. if anyone wanted a way to relax, burn calories, and start living a more healthier life, i would strongly suggest picking up the tapes of Rodney Yee. he basically tells you how to go into each position and how you should breathe. well, that’s all what’s been on my mind.

until next time-laters!

School so far

Okay so I haven’t been posting since I have returned to school, but so far everything is going fine. I mean there are moments that things could be better and things could be worse, but that’s life. If life was perfect, it would be boring and there would be no real purpose for us to live, but there is-to make choices and to learn from them. Life sucks, but not enough to make you stop living your life the way you seem right.

What I learned so far, in a big way, about school that it does matter who’s teaching, how, and the main thing is that you don’t have to work hard, but you must work wisely. If you’re working your butt off, but not making any progress, then what’s the point of working so hard? Work wisely, not hard. It goes with the whole don’t be a dumb ass thing.

Until next time. laters!

last day of summer, pretty much.

listening to some stuff about blink 182, as usual, i come to realize that yet another summer is gone. with today being my last day at work, for a while at least, i also realize how fast life seems to go by sometimes. i find it very interesting for how when you’re having fun, time seems to go by within a blink of an eye and when you wish time would go by, it seems like times goes backwards.

in general, this was a much better summer than last year. not just for one thing, but for quite a number of reasons. it could have been better and it could have been worse, considering that i was completely stressed out at the end of the semester last year. hopefully it won’t happen again. the way that i look at it is that as long as my GPA gets pulled up, everything else should fall into place. also, i know for a fact that i’m a good computer person (geek), even though i really want to do something with music, like production or even musician. i just need teachers that actually teach, not just fall asleep during their own class and don’t even have notes of their own. and that’s where a bit of my rant starts:

how can you have a PhD and yet suck at teaching? i mean, if you use other’s notes and even you fall asleep during your own class, you’re probably not a good teacher. i’m sure he/she’s a nice guy. great! kudos! but that doesn’t count for much when you’re trying to prepare the future workers. but what else can you expect with this screwed up economy. i mean the main way people get their jobs is by have connections from the inside. is that really equal opportunity? ummm… not really. great job America! i’m not saying that i hate the country and i’m in no way saying that i love it. all i’m saying is that there are way too many stupid people in the world and most of them are in America and most ironically, most of them are in some sort of “high authority”, in other words, running something. and they’re not even stupid, as in with no common sense, but they’re also arrogent. great job!

i realized a while a go that my school isn’t really good with education. okay, it’s educationally cheap and yet they charge 300 dollars for a used text book. yeah-ebay.

anyways, not to seem like this post is a rant, let’s go back to the summer topic. in general, i have no complaints, i just wish it could have been a bit longer. i won’t say exactly what happened because

a-i’m sure you’re quite aware that i can’t really open up to the world that much.
b-it’s summer, a lot happened.
c-i just don’t think you NEED to know certain things.

what’s next? well, mostly just focusing on my GPA and just trying to live life.

what did i learn this summer? life is like an album, no matter how crappy the song is, the metronome keeps ticking and there’s always another song.

until next time. laters!

BLINK!!!!!!!!

Watching some videos of my beloved band, blink 182, i came across some stuff from their night with jimmy kimmel. on specifically caught my attention-the feeling this video. first off, why would people even think that you’re the one singing on stage? now i understand that the brother is recording it, but whoever was recording should have kept their mouth shut. all through out the song i was thinking that mark and tom were having trouble harmonizing, which they rarely do. even if you’re singing in tune, keep your mouth shut because you’re trying to record someone else’s performance. if you want to record yourself singing, go home, put the camera on a tripod and record yourself. i understand your not a professional, God help us all if you were cause you’d make a mockery of videography. i might not be a videographer myself, but there are some common sense rules:

rule 1: if you’re recording, don’t make noise, don’t even answer a question.

rule 2: don’t forget any copyrights.

rule 3: use warnings if material contains such necessities.

i’m sure there’s more, but those are just the common sense ones.

as an added note, never underestimate the level of stupidity that people bring to the table. it’s one thing not to be able to retain that much information and this isn’t for you, i’m taking about those that try to do things without thinking. it’s also another thing to be a jackass [immature] you can be the most immature person, but have wisdom and knowledge of a couple of things. immaturity has to do with actions, wisdom and knowledge both work with a mental status. so immature people can also be underestimated, let’s try not to do that so much, understanding these facts.

to conclude this post, i just want to say that i wish i could have been to one of blink’s shows . i know it must have been fun, but did they seem like they worked hard to sound like they did before angels and +44? any ways, we all waited for this to come pass and now it did so let’s just be content for once and stop complaining about the sound. that’s not why we go/went to see blink, we go/went to see blink because of the energy and the message of the songs, not because of the sound of the songs. take guns and roses for example, great rock band, one of the best sounds, but after a while people stopped going to shows because of axel’s hissy fits. so it doesn’t really matter about the sound, it’s better to have a high energy and have a sense of fun. when it comes to sound, that’s more for selling records, which doesn’t really happen now a days, but to really make money in the music world you have to tour and nobody will go to shows if you don’t have the charisma. i’m not saying that you have to suck or anything like that. you should know how to somewhat play, but when it comes to live shows, it’s better to get the fans into the songs as apposed to hear them say, “man they sound great”. so it’s great to have blink back!

until next time. laters!

School

American school system-go in stupid come out stupid as hell. congratulations America, no wonder society is hilariously dumb.

but why do i say this you ask? well, just think about it, before you go into school where you are polluted with politics and crap like that, one has the innocence of knowing what is right and wrong, in a way. i know many say that as a child, it is easy to lie and hard to do the “right” thing and this is mostly true. as people, we don’t have to learn how to lie, but through maturity, we lie less. that’s the difference, maturity is making mistakes in life, accepting the consequences, and learning from the experience.

in school you find people that think they know a lot and teach it with strong passion, but in reality, don’t really know all that much.

yes, reality is relative, but facts still exist. for example, there is fire, there is cold, ect… that being said, if a teacher only gives busy work, falls asleep during class (yes that’s right, even the teacher falls asleep during the class) and almost the whole entire class (cept for maybe 2 or 3 out of 10) fail, then you’re probably not a good teacher.

another thing is that you can graduate knowing the steps to manage a 5 trillion dollar franchise, but don’t know how to even turn on the computer. not to sound like a jerk because i know a thing or two about computer, but the fact is that we really are working more with computers and media, so one should at least know how to use the Microsoft Office suite. all in all, school is to open up the minds of students to inspire them to learn things on their own or at least knowing the steps on how to better themselves if they hate the situation their in.

anyways, that’s enough of my rant on how sometimes school makes you dumber instead of smarter.

“it’s so nice to have you back where you belong” i can’t help adding this into my post because i just found it a big coincidence considering the certain present situation. all in all nothing lasts forever, absolutely nothing and you can add that to the facts list.

until next time. laters!

Stupid Stupid Stupid

here at work researching some stuff, i realize something and start asking myself certain questions:

1-can people actually be that stupid?
2-how is it that a lot of society’s dumbest people are more prominent?
3-how is it that many knowledgeable people with a desire to learn more don’t even get a chance to do so?

i’m not referring to people that don’t have the capacity, that’s something completely different because if you’re on able then it’s not your fault, but if you’re suppose to know something, considering you are looked at as some type of “expert” in that field, well, you have to show it. also in common sense, like for example, “i didn’t know killing was bad…” you didn’t know causing harm to someone is bad?

i don’t mean to be a jerk or a prick, i just can’t stand people that constantly don’t think before saying/doing something. for a less drastic example, why would you sprits(cologne) more than once cause a whole room to stink and also causing many people to get intoxicated, causing many headaches, which last time i checked wasn’t very healthy, nor fun? what, to impress another person that probably doesn’t even know you exist? now, i won’t tell a person how to live their lives, but if that’s what it takes, then it’s probably not worth it. and trust me, my big thing is smells for me, i hate horrible smelling rooms and stuff, but that doesn’t make it smell better, it actually makes the room smell worse. it’s not even a question of moderation, it’s a question of common sense. it’s called DEODORANT  to each his own, but let’s think before so…

it’s also another thing to be too young or having that innocence, but at the age of sixteen, you can’t really say, “i didn’t know sex can lead to a baby”. if you can honestly say this with proof, then i would probably want to talk to your neighborhood. even if your parents sheltered you or tried to “save” you from the world’s corruption, your teachers and friends should have said something. so the rest is up to you.
the solution to the last question is simple-government sucks, always has and always will. you can be proud to be an american as much as you want, but let’s please cut the crap, politics/government is all worthless and a waste of time due to it not solving anything and usually being corrupt/messed up.

being a jackass is also a little bit different. that just means that you’re immature, not necessarily inept. trust me, i’m immature myself, but let’s have some common sense…

the point i’m trying to get across is-let’s try to start to think before saying/doing. it won’t hurt anyone and hey, maybe we can even prevent a life or two from being prematurely taken away.

on a side note, lot’s of things are going pretty well cept for me being tired a lot. could be due to high blood pressure or sleep apnea, but we shall see how long all the rest will last.

remember: THINK, tip your waitress, careful with drugs, and respect everyone. not for their position, but because they are fellow humans. laters!

Faulty Bank Systems?

now not to come to any conclusions or to point fingers, but aren’t the bank systems even a bit desperate to make money now a days? now i have to admit that when i make a mistake, it’s my fault and my fault only. i also realize that technology is far from perfect, that coming from me should mean something because i love technology. i say this because i made a mistake so i transfered some money, a couple of hours later, that when they charge me for my mistake. from firday-tuesday they didn’t do anything, regardless if it was fourth of july. july fourth was on saturday and it’s not even open during the weekend anyways. i don’t know if it would have made a difference if it would have been on monday when everything was posted, specially the transfer, but i’m just saying that the economy is so bad that it seems as if the banks are even desperate. what does that say about us as a nation and the world?

personally, i think money should come to an end and we should try to focus on helping each other by growing crop and trading it. plus isn’t the big thing now a days being nice to each other? we the people? what exactly does that mean? that to me means that we should give everyone a chance regardless of all the closed mindedness and truly helping each other. hey!!! maybe, just maybe, this can be a though-let’s put away all the crap that prevents us from this, like greed and we can do this by putting out the economic system. i mean it’s only gonna get worse and worse.

besides the economic bull, everything else i think is going alright, but i do have to admit, i think there’s too much media going around this michael jackson thing. don’t get me wrong, we was inspirational and creative, but my goodness it’s on every channel every hour of all the day. plus, if you notice when his daughter was giving the speech, she was forcing the emotions, which to me tells me that it’s just a show. life is precious, but personally too much media and too much faked drama is a sham and really disrespectful. if you can’t shed a tear, fine, don’t put on a show. if you can’t cry, respect the life of the dead, but not talking to your neighbor or making noise. tears are just emotion, not necessarily a way to honor the dead.

Fourth of July

it’s that time again. you know, when everyone is proud to be an American, even though might still be illegal aliens, but at this point who cares right? what’s my feelings on today? let’s just put it this way: yay!!!! let’s celebrate what so many people ’s lives were lost to prevent what’s going on today. i don’t mean that in a political way(mostly because it’s just a waste of time and it lacks intellect), but i’m just saying how redundantly ironic it is for how so many lost their lives to prevent us as americans from losing our freedoms and rights also from being communist, but sooner or later we most likely will become this anyways. many people argue for how the government is so much better now than before, but i don’t agree with this.

call me a traitor or anything along those line, but i’m just being realistic right now. july fourth is suppose to be about how america became a free country from great britain and how america is a great country, but like i said before how is it great as it is right now. and i’m not even saying financially, that has nothing to do with the greatness of a country, but i believe, as many others do, that our government as an organization is very corrupt. don’t take this the wrong way, i’m not saying the homosexuals and stuff like that. when i say it’s corrupt i mean it’s kind of like dirty business corrupt.

everyone was so excited about this “big change”, but in reality we didn’t know what kind of a change it was. would it be good? would it be bad? well i hope everyone is happy now…

now, at this point i’m sure many think i’m a jackass that i don’t know anything, but the truth is, i don’t really care. i’m not a politician nor do i have even the slightest interest in that mess.

in the end i’m just glad that we are allowed to do fireworks without having to deal with anything unreasonable. in my opinion all i would want is $5,000 dollars worth of fireworks and that’s about it.

well, enough of me ranting about how much i dislike our government. i hope the rest of you enjoy this holiday. laters!

YAY!!!!

sitting in my living room watching an old episode of Scrubs and playing around with my new macbook pro (yes, i work on the computer while watching tv) i think of how things are going. things are really looking up. love my job. everything.

so apparently michael jackson is dead after becoming the kind of pop.  what do i think?  well, of course he’s not perfect, no body is, so he had some mistakes.  he did some weird stuff, but so have i so, yeah. but he is an inspiration in many genres of music.  sure he isn’t any bruce lee, but he’s pretty close.  i don’t know that much about him, to tell you the truth, only what the media says and we all know that most of media isn’t really the truth.  so in conclusion, michael jackson was an insentric inspirational musician and he will be missed by many.
