Mar. 28th, 2008 @ 08:48 am From an Interview With Teller of Penn and Teller
"Start with the awareness that art is just good. People doing bad shows is better than people doing good murders and rapes. Art means people are celebrating being alive, even if they do it with Hippity Hop Rabbits."

This is now my favorite quote about art, ever.

Feb. 27th, 2008 @ 10:51 am Finally, an English assignment I can really sink my teeth into!
the idea is to write a 2 page exemplification essay on the worst job you ever had. This is the outline I turned in.

Outline

Intro: Why my bosses should be the first with their backs up against the wall.
State why I hate, with a deep, deep, deep hatred, a hatred so strong that the idea of their existence is enough to make me want to hang myself with barbed wire. Rusty, acid covered barbed wire. While aflame.


Body 1: Example of utter incompetence: CEOs are proof that Darwinism doesn't work:
state why your company president is a completely inept moron, such as hiring people just as stupid as they are to do such menial tasks, such as IT support, Research and Development of our proprietary software, Budget the company, and run our offices. Also mention that she is responsible for pressuring our sales department to get more clients, even though we can't meet the deadlines of the ones we already have.

Body 2: Example of the complete deficiency of intelligence amongst the : MIDDLE MANAGERS!
Explain why this select group of genetic mistakes makes your skin crawl.
Never in their office/pen
incapable of complex actions, such as answering a phone, answering a question, chewing bubble gum while walking.

Body 3: example of the total void that is a team leaders personality
explain what these hate machines do for a job
try not to kill yourself after having to contemplate the existence of such people

Conclusion: can we talk about something more pleasant now, such as homeless, starving children with AIDS?
Restate that the people mentioned above suck, that they should be shot to protect the gene pool.
State that you decided to quit after the fifth person in the office committed suicide by drowning themselves in the toilet.

Mar. 9th, 2007 @ 10:02 am A Day Of Mourning
I heard that Captian America died yesterday. If I owned a flag, it would be flying at half mast. March 8th should be a national holiday, right up there with easter, or spring day, or spring cleaning day, or compassion day, or whatever they call it this year.

That a government created superhero dies fighting for civil liberties and opposing the very government that created him is awesome. I'm thinking of wearing a small american flag tied around my arm as a sign of mourning. Maybe just a black arm and with his shield on it.

I've tried going door to door, dropping my resume everywhere, filling out applications. I've tried every online job searching tool known to mankind. I've tried using multiple temp to hire agencies. I've even tried career fairs. Nothing works. NOTHING.

Spending 3 to 6 hours a day looking for work is reaaaaaaly starting to drag me down. The only jobs i can find want 1-2 years prior experience, even for a cashier. This is getting a wee bit ridiculous.

If this goes on much longer, I'm going to start doing day labor.........or donating my blood.
Out of four interviews in January, one was a Career Marketing firm, a group of people that send out 10,000 resumes for you, for $1000. Two were outdoor sales, commission only "Business Opportunities." And one was a skip tracing company with good pay, awesome benifits, awesome bonuses, and interested in my resume and interview. But, they near to never hire anyone without skip tracing experience... Fucko's.

I attended a career fair Monday, next to the world trade center in dallas. Left home at 8:00 a.m. Got there at 10:30 a.m. Nothing but outdoor sales, commission only "Business Opportunities" They actually get indignant when you call it a Job, or Employment, or Slave Labor Pyramid Scheme.

I'm about one more crap interview or misleading classified ad away from piling up all of my resumes and cover letters and employment magazines and job applications, setting them all on fire, and then throwing myself on top.

Sarah and I are going to see this band play in Fort Worth in December, should be a good show. I looked up some of their other stuff on youtube and it all seems hilarious.

This is the funniest Austin band I have ever heard.

Current Music: "Monotone" by My CSCI Professor
I am once again subject to the trials and what not of my computer science lab.

I am thinking of building a portable booth that I can take with me to my lab so I can isolate myself from the rest of my classmates. Every two minutes I have another student getting tired of waiting for my professor to come help them and ask me for help. Nevermind that I am busy trying to refine my own damned programs. Or post on live journal. hehe.

I had a mandatory conference with my english professor today. Fifteen minutes of her telling me how glad she was to have me in her class, because I bring so much to the classroom; experience, perspectives, a brain, blah blah blah. Once again she started hinting at me going into english as a major. She also wants me to talk to Faulkerson(Fulkerson?). She thinks we would get a kick out of arguing between ourselves.

I had the privelage to experience of yet another three hours of Emergency Room Drama sunday. My father went into afib and had to be rushed to sulpher springs er room, for fear of a blood clot forming. I then spent three hours with him, until they finally got an IV into his arm. He's been in hospitals so often that his veins and such are collapsing in his arms and hands, no one can draw a line in him. After that, I drove to Emory to collect my laundry, then head back to commerce. Then I didn't learn if he was okay until today. So it has been a fun few days.

I also learned how fucked I am getting by my computer science professor. While 95% of the class has their user defined functions program due next thursday, four students and myself have one due this thursday, on top of that, we have a suprise two page response due tomorrow in english on an selection from Plato's Republic, allagory of the cave. And on monday, our first final draft of a five page essay, and wednesday our revisions for a four page essay. yeaaaaay
