SINGING

Talking to himself about how to move and move on and he goes,
The charity of his own past to the present and he sings along the way the wind blows,
No one knows,
Never knowing order and waking up and only knowing how he breathes and it hurts,
The written words come right from his lungs, The past from the crash that still burns,
What hurts, what heals, what brings us back around here in the family room,
Right next to the anger that comes from the hatred from how his family showed love,
That dove has died and moved on,

Moved away and you think that he is just a talker walking towards a dream dead,
Dead well at least he has never taught hate,
Never woke up from saving souls because you were just late,
Just a job,
Just a way of getting your hand on everything you can understand,
Just a way of teaching your son how to be a man?
Hi dad I’m a man now and the lessons are learned,
Sorry I don’t see you that much but as I said lessons are learned,

You want him to be what you call strong and clean,
Put yourself up to a mirror old man and explain to yourself what you mean,
You have waged war against a dream from the beginning and you call your self my father,
Father of what? Lies to get me where you have been?
If this dies would it matter to you a bit?
If tomorrow I decided to quit would you give a shit?
How would you hold me through?
You never did in the past so lets leave it at that,
I maybe just angry today,
My mind may change in many ways,
And I may end up regretting my words but what more can I do to heal?
I love you dad but I can’t live in your jail,

C.

AND THE TITLE IS: 1500 HUNDRED AND STILL STANDING

Here comes the weekend. Looks like even if I do not work I will still have a lot to get done. I still need to go through the remainder of all of my old paper work and file that stuff away, do laundry, clean up the apartment some, and maybe clean out my truck. Maybe it would be more restful if I did go to wor…Nay. Plus work would get in the way of lots of great sex with the lady I love. That is if she will be talking to after me just writing that…

From Work Whining To Responses To Comments Left:

Robin,
To the AIDS/circumcision story. I agree. I always think in today’s age also when they do it to babies it is sort of sick. Believe me guys are going to soap up plenty down there circumcised or not and hygiene really is not the issue now.

You saw David Allan Cole? And Desiree also? Some how I don’t picture you two at one of his concerts but hey I wore a Garth Brooks concert t-shirt today and people said it surprised them when in fact he is one of my favorite musical performers.

I never get hit on by guys anymore. Just thought I would mention that. We all need to go to The Keg. I use to get hit on so much when I use to go there.

Geek Speak:

Me speaks of Doctor Who excitingly about the new season starting soon.

Back To Reality:

Wrote about 1500 words last night on the book after taking notes down on it at work while on brakes. Did the same tonight so I have lots of little things I wish to add. I finally see were the main plot of the story needs to go and who is turning out to be the stand out characters of the story. Funny for story which began as just me rambling bored at work on the computer to several chapters of that actually I think I know where this story is going, needs to go, and how I can get it there.

And In The News:

This has been a slow news week for me. Hardly anything is really getting my attention. I think this is mostly because I’m really tired right now. Mentally and the other 8 billion ways you can be tired.

AND THE TITLE IS: THE PENGUIN AND THE FAT MAN

Work is really draining me dead. I have put in for this weekend off but if they call me I swear I may go off on someone if we have no shows like last weekend. And you know what? The work itself is not what is killing me, it is having to hold so many peoples, i e, we are talking adults, hands as they do their jobs to make sure they do their jobs. The past month I have been thinking of some business ventures I have been approached about. At pay the rent type work I just do not know where my head is at right now.

From Work Whining To Responses To Comments Left:

Again, You do not get a response Mar because you are mean. M - E….oh?… - A - N. MEAN!

Geek Speak:

Grindhouse's McGowan Got Leg Up
I really want to see this movie or movies as it may be. I love Rose McGowan too. The only reason I ever watched Charmed. Though that series was only a few ideas and a couple better writers from being just as good as Buffy and I believe Buffy was one of the best television shows ever I think they just decided we are just going to do entertainment and fun and nothing is wrong with that. But it could have been better. Did I mention I love Rose McGowan?

Cover for final 'Potter' revealed
This cover says one thing. We are not telling.

Back To Reality:

I did the fall asleep on the keyboard thing last night. Though it was really more head bobbing while trying to stay awake writing in front of the laptop. I was dead tired last night and fell asleep in front of the screen trying to get some writing done. I think I only got about 500 words done. I will have to go back and see tonight if I wrote anything good while dozing off.

And In The News:

'Meth Candy'
Is it Meth Cotton Candy? Now that would be cool. Why didn’t any drug dealers think of this sooner? Oh, yea, dead or stonned out of their minds. I see.

WHO agrees HIV circumcision plan
I just do not see how this will really help much? Sorry, don’t see it, maybe someone can explain it to me? I see the real issue in most countries and how it spread so fast in this country as a social political one. Though with all the dumb fuck stuff the Bu...Mr. Presidents Administration is doing to try and fight against HIV and AIDS this does sound…well, sound. And I’m stuff pissed my parents went snippy snippy on me when I was a baby.

Why do hated bands top the charts?
Because people like different things because…wait for it….wait…People are different. Fucking critic created bullshit.

Judge Dismisses Rumsfeld Torture Suit
A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit against former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for the torture of prisoners in US custody overseas. The American Civil Liberties Union and Human Rights First had brought the case on behalf of nine former prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan. The suit said Rumsfeld had tacitly or directly authorized a series of abuses including beatings, stabbings, shocks, burnings and sexual humiliation. In his dismissal ruling, U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan acknowledged the men had been tortured. But he said they do not have constitutional rights to seek redress and that government officials are immune.
Democracy NOW!
Our government officials are immune. Immune from their own humanity. I just want to spin my chair in circles yelling, “BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT! BULLSHIT!” Until I get dizzy. Maybe then I will understand how our nation has let these people bring its foundations down around us without much resistance at all from its people.

Business Use of Terror-Watch List Shutting Out Innocent Customers
A civil rights group is reporting an increasing number of innocent people are being denied transactions by businesses checking their names against the Treasury Department’s terrorist watch list. The Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights says credit bureaus, health insurers, car dealerships, employers and landlords have denied business to customers bearing similar names to those on the six-thousand plus list. In one case, a California man was denied a home loan after his credit report flagged his middle name, Hassan, as an alias for one of Saddam Hussein’s sons.
Democracy NOW!
This is like not allowing me a beer because my last name is Williams and you are afraid I will fall off a rocky cliff somewhere. That was for all the Hank Williams Jr. fans out there. I know you are there. Right there sitting with that poster of David Allan Cole behind you.

Gonzales Bolts Press Conference Following Attorney Questions
And finally in Chicago, a promised fifteen-minute press conference with Attorney General Alberto Gonzales turned to less than three minutes Tuesday as Gonzales ducked questions about the firing of the eight US attorneys. Gonzales left the podium after taking just three questions.
Democracy NOW!
‘What? I didn’t know they would ask me about those things? They said we would be talking about the start of baseball season and how they just killed Captain America.’

Hey, look. I actually did the labels this time.

AND THE TITLE IS: ACROSS FROM HIM IS HER WHIP

Listening to Doctor Who: The Sirens Of Times as I do paper work at the day job. I just turned in the new shop schedule to the boss for approval, a lot of people pissed about how it is laid out but those things are not my call and I put myself for the weekend off because we have plenty of coverage and really don’t need me here to baby-sit people. Other people can come in and pull their weight for once.

From Work Whining To Responses To Comments Left:

I’m not commenting on your comment Ms. Mar because you are mean!

Geek Speak:

Last night Wave called me at work from B&N to ask about a sci-fi magazine I was looking for with features on Doctor Who. I think it was SFX or something? Anyways, she found that B&N had a copy of Doctor Who Magazine which was like being told she just won the lottery. She may not have gotten that feeling but I did. After a falling out with my local comic shop I have not had the chance to pick up the magazine. I only have one issue since the new series started and that was the issue they announced Billie Piper as Rose. Well, after a exchange that went something like this,
“They have a Doctor Who magazine.”
“Is it Doctor Who Magazine?”
“It’s a Doctor Who magazine.”
“But does it say Doctor Who on the magazine. Is it Doctor Who Magazine?”
And I was called a pain in the ass geek and she picked up the issue for me because she love me. Now I need to find out if they will be carrying it on a monthly basis and if so if I can get a copy reserved for me? I read through the whole issue last night including all the little bits. I think I may have re-read the credits twice even which shows that I’m not just a geek, that I’m actually a little insane.

Back To Reality:

Was up until 4am last night with my stomach killing me so while up I did some writing but mainly watched some Doctor Who and Justice League Unlimited DVDs. The DC Animated Universe which contains Batman The Animated Series, Superman, Justice League, and Batman Beyond are in my eyes the best animation ever produced in this country.

And In The News:

Kissinger Focus of Uruguay Extradition Request
In Uruguay, the family of a victim of the twelve-year US-backed dictatorship has asked for the extradition of former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. The victim, Bernardo Arnone, was arrested in 1976 and flown to Argentina where he was presumably executed. Arnone’s family says Kissinger was a key figure behind the Condor Plan, a pact between South American dictatorships to violently repress political dissidents. Uruguayan prosecutors are studying the request.
Democracy NOW!
Linked to this yesterday but any chance I get to rip on that fat fuck is worth the cut and paste action.

Not really much in the news today that interests me.

I give you a good night with this. I like it and it is by a very talented photographer and writer.

AND THE TITLE IS: IN THESE DAY THE STUPID WILL LAY WITH THE STUPID + 10 or so

Trust? Do I trust? Yes. When I'm leaning against a wall where I can keep all of you in front of me.

From Work Whining To Responses To Comments Left:

P,
Thanks for being a regular visitor to the blog. Comments are good but I visit many sites where I do not comment or rarely comment so I understand.

I found that Flickr image through Warren Ellis‘s blog where I also found this. I visit his site daily. One of my favorite writers.

Marlena,
I think it is so stupid those who are going out of there way to try and convince people that Global Warming is not real. I feel like yelling, “Hey, people. Even if you don’t give a fuck about the planet, you know, we sort of have to live. Lets be self centered in that way.” Seems like the only way people do anything. I can not believe religious groups have gotten on the band wagon against stopping it. Like I said last night while drinking and mis-quoting Hank Hill, “If it gets one degree hotter I’m going to kick someone ass!”


Geek Speak:

So Wave, what do you think about this? This is your area of geekdum since I have not read the books. As a writer I say if family or whoever owns my shit when I die can make money off half written materials then I say go for it. But I have it in a will that has to do with my writing after reading about such things on Neil Gaiman’s blog in which it states that who ever owns the rights to my stuff after I die can publish unfinished materials but they have to do some so excluding my name from being on the cover. If I did not fully write something or write it with someone at the time of publication I do not wish for my name to be on the cover.


Back To Reality:

Doctor Who: The Invasion was so cool with the added animation episodes. That’s my reality bitches, deal with it!

And In The News:

Right. This will happen right after I shower every day of the week.

British Demands Iran Release Captured Sailors
The British government is demanding Iran release 15 British sailors and Marines captured by Iran on Friday in the Persian Gulf. Iran says that the 14 men and one woman were seized after crossing into Iranian waters to search an Indian vessel. British Prime Minister Tony Blair rejected Iran's claim.

Report: NYPD Conducted Widespread Spy Campaign Before RNC
The New York Times has revealed that undercover New York City police officers traveled around the country, Canada and Europe to spy on protesters planning to attend the 2004 Republican National Convention. The city set up an “R.N.C. Intelligence Squad" and sent undercover officers to attend meetings of political groups, posing as sympathizers or fellow activists.
Democracy NOW!
OH MY GOD! I just realized I’m sleeping with a one of those protester types. Wonder if I could turn people in and get a free snow cone?

Documents Indicate Gonzales OK'd Firing of U.S. Attorneys
Newly released Justice Department documents show that Attorney General Alberto Gonzales indicates that he lied about his involvement in the recent dismissals of eight U.S. Attorneys. Two weeks ago Gonzales said "I was not involved in seeing any memos, [and] was not involved in any discussion about what was going on." However, the documents reveal that on Nov. 27th Gonzales met with five other officials from the Justice Department and signed off on a plan to fire the prosecutors.
Democracy NOW!
My mom always said lies are hard to keep up with.

Government Terror Database Has Quadrupled In Size
The Washington Post is reporting the size of the government database on terrorism suspects has quadrupled in size over the past four years. Each day, thousands of pieces of intelligence information from around the world are feed them into the database known as TIDE -- for Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment. This includes field reports, captured documents, news from foreign allies and sometimes idle gossip. The database is used to decide what names to put on watchlists and no-fly lists. This marks the first time foreigners and U.S. citizens are combined in an intelligence database. The bar for inclusion is low, and once someone is on the list, it is virtually impossible to get off it.
Democracy NOW!
Somewhere in all of this data storage stuff I’m hoping they lose my credit report.

City Officials in Florida Fire Transsexual City Manager
The city commissioners of Largo Florida have voted to fire Largo's city manager Steve Stanton a month after it was revealed he was a transsexual and that he planned to live as a woman and eventually pursue a sex-change operation. On Friday night hundreds of supporters of Stanton gathered in Largo to urge the city commissioners to reconsider. Members of Equality Florida wore pink t-shirts that read "Don't Discriminate." Stanton had served as Largo's city manager for 14 years. City commissioners claimed the vote was because of his management style – not his lifestyle.
Democracy NOW!
How the fuck did I end up in Florida. Oh, yea, Hi Touch! Just kidding but state is just fucked up and in a lot of ways resembles the country as a whole.

Go away thinking about this.
But they already have these. They are called American voters.

AND THE TITLE IS: PRICKS ON CELL PHONES IN LINE AT COFFEE PLACES SHOULD BE BEATEN WITH STRONG WOOD BATS

We slept late this morning. We don’t get the chance to do that often but it is hard for me to get out of bed when she is laying next to me. After hitting a craft store for a quick look around we planned to eat at Panera this morning but too many alligator shirts around so we decided to let them live another day because neither of us were in the mood for dealing with the type this morning and we instead went to Creispers and what did we find there? A line of old folks who refused to look at the menu before getting into line and when each one got to the register everyone around had to wait as they said, “I do not really know what I want so let me think a second.” This with last night having to deal with a old lady having about 50 items in the 20 items or less line at Wal-Mart and then having her complain because she had to deal with putting the bags into her cart by herself does not have me being in much a mood for dealing with those of the ages older than myself. This is true especially on a Sunday when I come in to find that the person who was suppose to work Saturday and no called, no showed also did the same this Morning. Survival does not make you special. Age does not grant you respect. A lot of people need to deal with that fact, other wise I would have the deepest respect for cockroaches.

From Work Whining To Responses To Comments Left:

Robbin,
Thanks for reading. I just think no one hardly looks at the fact that we breed and teach males to be aggressive and hard and then wonder why they grow up to be the type of people a lot of men are.

Geek Speak:

I was watching my local PBS station last night when I saw a ad for the fact that they are going to start showing the new Doctor Who series starting on April 26th. Wave heard the sound of the TARDIS as I was watching, she was on the floor painting some shelves we bought, and her reaction was as such, “God, I guess we will be watching PBS a lot more.” She likes Doctor Who some though. This news is great since Sci-Fi does not rerun them that often but I just wish some channel would start showing the old series again. I wonder why more places are not doing that? Wondering if the BBC is holding off because of DVD releases? Don’t know? Does anyone out there?

Bought some things at Best Buy and B&N yesterday. Doctor Who: The Invasion, Doctor Who: The Sontaran Experiment, and Justice League Unlimited: Season Two. I plan to watch at least The Invasion tonight because of how they recreated lost episodes in that story with animation. Wave picked up the new issue of Bitch and North Country.

Also added a few more Doctor Who audios to Wave’s iPod. I really need to get my own soon since I keep barrowing hers to listen to at work. Though first I need to get my own computer since I use her laptop also. She’s a saint and that is just for putting up with me in lots of ways other than me always barrowing her junk.

Back To Reality:

With needing some off to fantasy fun time tonight with watching some Doctor Who DVDs, I also need to get in some major writing time also; while also needing to get in some being with the women I love time. I have too many ALSO’s in my life I do so think.

I need my own laptop so when I get one I can take it and write from anywhere I may go. I have one laptop but its so heavy and such a piece of shit it really does not do much for me to take it around with me but I actually probably should start doing so just because it really is mostly a piece of shit and really would not be that big of a deal if it got damage. But it is fucking heavy. I have had computer towers which weighted less than this thing. I need to take everything’s off the ton of fun laptop and just have the current projects I’m working on fuzzing around inside it.

And In The News:

Gore Warns Congress of ‘Planetary Emergency’
I don’t trust him. Never have, never will. He can play his I hug the Earth games but watch him people. Watch him closely. Oh, and those of you out there saying Global Warning is not real WAKE THE FUCK UP! Why do so many find some reason to go against this? Oh, yea, forgot. Money.

Writing in the free world

I found this interesting from a writers point of view. I think the future with technology and such will be very interesting for artists of all kinds, especially for those who are more out for profit than to work their life’s work.

I leave you with this.

There are actually lots of things you should like about yourself. I know there are lots of things I like about you and I also know there are a few other people who feel the same.

Thanks for the comment about my rant. I tend to do that a lot. I have been told it is not good for a writer to rant a lot but who cares. I’m a hack anyways. Fuck them.

And In The News:

Government to Take a Hard Look at Horror
Yes, because the government does not have any big issues on its plate so it has time to look at movies. Listen this is me yelling on the computer. People, whether they be little five year olds or 80 people kill because we are animals. It is what animals do to solve problems.

Oh, and if you really want to stop bad influences reaching our children then stop this cultural bashing males get from a young age to be emotionless, unfeeling, angry towards women. We are molded creatures created by our societal norms forced down our throats by our religions, our governments, and by our pop culture at a early age. I hate the fucking adds I have to always see on places like MySpace of half naked under age looking girls. I love the half nakered ladies but please don’t try and say you are not trying to make them look underage. But I also hate how people ignore the fact that males from a very young age have it sometimes literally beaten into them to not be feeling human beings. “Boy don’t cry.” “Men have to be tough and strong.” “If men get sexually abused its because they are gay or because they did something wrong.” Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I’m simply sick a tired of so much bullshit in this country. I need a beer. And not one of those piss water American beers either!

Not in a good mood at all today. This is going to be a don’t walk across my path sort of weekend.

Work is work. Another weekend working coming upon me. I think I might be sick. You know the works is work and always will be work sort of sick?

I am going to be so dead during this weekend because I really need to get a lot of writing done also which means no sleeping late for this lazy man. Plus I really want to spend some good time with the lady I love. Isn’t having to find time to spend with the people you love some sort of sin of modern living?

I may restart my Live Journal down the road or do some kind of feed from here to there. When it gets closer to the time to announce some projects I am involved in I will be doing lots of online things to promote myself.

TENNANT SIGNS UP FOR FOURTH SERIES
Good news. I really like Tennant’s run as The 10th Doctor so far. I think those who have not taken to his Doctor are more or less missing the fine performances of Christopher E. and wish he had done more than the one season.

Stardust movie trailer
I have been waiting for this movie to be made for a long and can not wait to see it. Oh, and it is written by my favorite writer.

Back To Reality:

Reality is my name is boring. I have found the ways of dealing with it. I tend to put my middle initials always in my name. Brian C. Williams. The reasons why are two fold. That is my fathers middle name also and it sounds a little more writerly that way. Brian Williams would look rather boring on a book cover. Brian C. Williams is not much better but at least it is a little better. Sorry, just thinking out loud there.

I’m the type of person who writes in a thinking out loud sort of style. I’m the type of person who forgets to to put food back into the icebox. I’m the type of person who gets angry at little things while letting everything large hit me without paying them much attention. I know, what about the old saying, “Don’t sweet the small stuff, it’s all small stuff.” Not with me. I’m the type of person who drives the same way to the same places because going in a different route to the direction I am heading will probably have fate bitch slap me into being lost and going down some dead end road. I have went down so many dead end roads in my life. I’m the type of person who is confused by sexism but can understand racism. I’m the type of person who thinks The Confederate Flag is a the flag of home grown terrorists then and now. I’m the type of person who is willing to tell you to, “Fuck Off!” and when you ask what did you do? I may say, “You take in breaths without pain. That I envy.” I’m the type of person who writes no matter what others say about my writing, the type of person who have no front teeth and wonders if getting fake ones is a way of others telling me how I should look, and I’m the type of person who ramblings for no reason. Give me a reason. I may just give it back or run with it for 10000 words interrupting anything I would be currently working on.

I hate holidays and holidays story collections but three editors asked me if I could submit something for collections they would be releasing this year. Wonder if I could put my bells on and do one of those stories?

Still wondering.

The novella I think may end up being a novel but the way I keep writing and then hacking most of what I have written away it still maybe a novella or a short story and who really cares as long as it is a story told. I will worry about labeling it later. I still have no idea how I am going to end it without people saying, “That’s the ending?” after reading it. Though I guess it will be some kind of accomplishment if they make it to the ending without saying, “This is crap to anyone who is near them as they are reading it.”

And In The News:

Report: U.S. Left Large Weapons Depot Unguarded in Iraq
A newly declassified U.S. government report has revealed that half of the US deaths in Iraq have been caused by explosives seized from old Iraqi military depots that have been left largely unguarded since the fall of Saddam Hussein. Over 3200 U.S. soldiers have died since the war began four years ago.

U.S. Tries to Prevent Turkey From Attacking Northern Iraq
The Guardian newspaper is reporting the Bush administration is scrambling to prevent Turkey from attacking Kurdish-controlled areas in northern Iraq. U.S. officials fear such an attack would open up a third front in the battle to save Iraq from disintegration. Turkish sources said special forces operations have already begun in northern Iraq to target fighters connected to the PKK or the Kurdish Workers' Party. This would not be the first time Turkey has invaded Northern Iraq. Ten years ago Turkey sent 40,000 troops into Iraq but there was been no large-scale Turkish intervention since the US invasion four years ago. The U.S. has vowed to crackdown on the PKK but Turkey accuses the US of playing a double game in northern Iraq. Officials say the CIA is covertly funding and arming the PKK's sister organization, the Iran-based Kurdistan Free Life party, to destabilize the Iranian government.

AND THE TITLE IS: BRIAN IS MARKED

I just made out the schedule at work for the next few weeks and I am working 7 days each week. Enough said there. Currently listening to Linkin Park-Points Of Authority.

From Work Whining To Responses To Comments Left:

Robbin,
Lets do that one night then. Me, you, and Ms. Mar. Ignore the world and kill our kidneys. I love the fact that I have friends who can say things like, “I will probably be belligerantly pontificating about black holes by the end of the night.” and then get upset because they spelled Belligerently wrong. I can not even say it without concentrating really hard on the letters as they try to leave my mouth. You, Mar, The Queen, and many more of my friends are so skilled in vocabulary, grammar, and spelling and I am in awe of it. I have to work so hard on each paragraph I write to just make them have the possibility of being able to be understood by others other than myself. Bringing these facts to light have my Muses asking why they even bother with me.

They need announce soon when the third season of Doctor Who will be showing here in the U.S. And speaking of the good Doctor. Last weekend I went to Best Buy hoping to find the new releases and they did not have them. That place has just went down hill since The Queen left.

Back To Reality:

Got home around 1:30 last night and ended up staying up until around 4 writing. Hit about 1000 words into the story. Though to be honest last night 1000 words did not feel as good as the 300 plus from the night before showing it is not the number of words which matter but the meaning behind them. The 1000 words from last night added to the story in the way needed but like food you need to survive there is such a thing as writing which feeds you for nourishment and writing that feeds you like steak. Sorry Robin.

And In The News:

Bush Refuses to Let Officials Testify Under Oath
A showdown is set between Congress and the White House over a Congressional probe into the recent firing of eight U.S. Attorneys. On Tuesday President Bush defended Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and vowed to fight Congressional efforts to subpoena presidential advisor Karl Rove, former White House counsel Harriet Miers and other White House officials. Congress is attempting to investigate whether the firing of the US attorneys was actually a political purge. President Bush has offered to allow Rove and other officials to meet with Congress but under extraordinary conditions -- behind closed doors, not under oath and transcripts of their testimony would not be permitted.
Democracy NOW!
“behind closed doors, not under oath and transcripts of their testimony would not be permitted.” Does Washington DC exist within The Bizzaro Universe or am I just stupid?

Tony Snow
I do not like this dick at all. Sorry but I’m a hack writer not a journalist and he is suck a ass kisser. The more and more my days go by I tend to lean more towards chaos than having so called leadership like we have in this country. At least with chaos it is what I think it is.

Death Toll of Journalists Reaches 187 In Iraq
Two more Iraqi journalists have been killed. The body of TV producer Hamid al-Duleimi was found yesterday in the Baghdad morgue. He had been abducted two days earlier. Autopsy reports revealed that the journalist had been tortured. The editor of the daily newspaper al-Safir, Hussein al Jaburi, died last week from his injuries suffered after being ambushed outside his Baghdad home. According to the International News Safety Institute 187 journalists and support staff have died since the war began four years ago.
Democracy NOW!
Why are not all journalist, writers, broadcasters, TV hosts, and just about everyone else screaming about these numbers of reporters dying in Iraq? Are we growing that blind by political lines?

Inspector General: FBI Violated Law Up to 3,000 Times
The Justice Department's inspector general has revealed the FBI may have violated the law or government policies as many as 3,000 times over the past four years as agents secretly collected the telephone, bank and credit card records of U.S. citizens and foreign nationals residing here. Inspector General Glenn Fine criticized how the FBI had used national security letters to force telephone companies, banks and credit institutions to produce the private records of citizens. In response, House Democrats and Republicans warned that it might strip the FBI of its power to demand that companies turn over customer records if the agency did not swiftly correct abuses in the system.
Democracy NOW!
I think we all should march to every court house in the areas we live and give them the finger. Simple, clear, and get our point across.

AND THE TITLE IS: I THINK HE WAS BREAST FEED

From Work Whining To Responses To Comments Left:

To answer a question that came to me by e-mail. When I search the net for news I tend to do it very quickly cutting and pasting links that catch my thoughts. I only do this for about 20 minutes because most of the time I am doing it while on breaks at work; so, I miss a lot of news. Though if anyone wishes to point out something to me that would be greatly appreciated also. Just leave a comment or throw me an e-mail. (my addy is at the bottom of the entry)

Geek Speak:

Jolie 'Wanted' for Universal film
If they keep for the most part to the books this will be a great movie. But like Watchmen I just do not see it being much of a movie. Some things should just remain how they are born.

Back To Reality:

Still do not have the truck situation straightened out. It is driving me a little mad. It has me so frustrated I think I may need to find a job closer to where I live. I can not keep having to rely on my love to give me rides or let me use her car. It’s not fair to her and her life outside of my crazy life. I will call the garage tomorrow and the truck either gets fixed this time to were it is running well or I will have to start looking at other ways of doing things. It is driving me nuts. Maybe I can slowly start to save a little to get me another vehicle but that may take a while. A long while. Still haven’t done my taxes and I know I’m going to be paying this year and I still need dental work done, lots of it; so, I am not going to have much to save for a while to come.

On the novella front. I wrote about 300words last night. Not much but some good writing happen and if I can keep that up every night at least I’m making progress.

And In The News:

Bush Says War in Iraq Can Still Be Won
As the Iraq war enters its fifth year, President Bush asked Americans for patience on Monday and claimed the war can still be won. President Bush said withdrawing from Iraq would have devastating consequences.
Democracy NOW!
Wait? What’s going on here? I thought we already won? Someone help me I’m all confused????

Halliburton's Wreckage
In the years to come I think we will find in this country that those who supposedly are our leaders sold out our futures for their holy dollar. Mine? Not so holy. I don’t even think I have a dollar? Let me check…Yes! One.

MoveOn Criticized For Backing Additional War Funding
On Monday the liberal advocacy group MoveOn.org publicly endorsed the Democratic House leadership's bill to approve $100 billion in additional funding for the war. On Thursday, the House is scheduled to vote on the bill that would fund the war for another year on the condition that American troops begin to withdraw by next March. Eli Pariser of MoveOn said, "While this measure doesn't go far enough, they know the choice is a war without end or a safe and responsible end to the war. This measure is an important step in the right direction." Several prominent anti-war advocates have criticized MoveOn for refusing to support the Iraq amendment from Congressional Progressive Caucus leaders Barbara Lee, Lynn Woolsey and Maxine Waters, which calls for "a fully funded, and systematic, withdrawal of U.S. soldiers and military contractors from Iraq" by the end of 2007.
Democracy NOW!
Me, I just see us when we do leave Iraq going, “Bye. Best of luck with your country. If things go well you can sale us your oil at cut rate prices or we will not deal with you. Loves and kisses.”

Report: White House Considering Replacements for Alberto Gonzales
The Washington-based website Politico is reporting Republican officials operating at the behest of the White House have begun seeking a possible successor to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. Among the names floated by administration officials are Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff, White House anti-terrorism coordinator Frances Townsend, former Deputy Attorney General Larry Thompson and former solicitor general Theodore Olson.
Democracy NOW!
Hands for anyone out there that truly thinks it would matter much if they did replace him? Hmm?

Coloring in Obama
It’s going to be interesting. Obama is not white. (you did notice didn’t you) Hillary is a women. (I wont go there for comment) The rest are sort of untruthful assholes. I do think this maybe the lowest turn out in American Presidential Elections history. This country is way too prejudice, sexist, and just plain stupid to vote honestly and intelligently in this race coming at us and I think they are just going to say fuck it and stay home.

Pentagon Considers Placing Cameras Inside Recruiting Stations
The Boston Globe is reporting the Pentagon is considering installing surveillance cameras in military recruiting stations across the country. The military is also considering a ban on recruiters meeting alone with prospective recruits of the opposite sex. The actions are being taken to address a rise in misconduct allegations against military recruiters — including sexual assaults of female prospects and bending the rules to meet quotas.
Democracy NOW!
Or they just want to make sure they are there when the draft is reinstated. Man, I am becoming a conspiracy nut job. Next thing you know I’m going to want to move to Texas…joke.

MySpace Restrictions Upset Some Users
The thing that is to happen and mark my words here with MySpace is that it will slowly become just like any other entertainment advertising site. It has happen before with other internet business which were bought after a lot of independent success. Fox will never let MySpace be what it once was and it hardly is now. I would delete mine but I still use it to network with friends. I should probably reopen my Live Journal also?

War Crimes Prosecutor Says Bush & Blair Could Face Charges
The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has said President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair could one day face war crimes charges before the court. Luis Moreno-Ocampo's comments came in an interview with the Sunday Telegraph of London. He urged Arab nations, particularly Iraq, to sign up to the court to enable allegations against the West to be pursued.
Democracy NOW!
Like that is ever going to happen. You would have to invade the U.S. or Great Britain before they would turn over a former Prime Minister or President. Hell, Kissinger probably caused more deaths than both of these dicks combined and you don’t see him being dragged out of his home off to court do you?

Ex-Oil Lobbyist Admits Changing Gov't Climate Studies
On Monday a House committee released documents that showed hundreds of instances in which a former oil industry lobbyist edited government climate reports to play up uncertainty of a human role in global warming or play down evidence of such a role. The official -- Philip Cooney -- served as President Bush"s chief of staff of the White House Council On Environmental Quality. Prior to working in the White House, Cooney served as a lobbyist for the American Petroleum Institute, the largest oil lobby based in Washington, D.C. Cooney acknowledged that some of the changes he made were to align the study's with the administration's stated policy” on climate change.
Democracy NOW!
You know this is giving me a headache. Are people trying to say our government does not have our best interest at heart?

Grand Canyon glass Skywalk opens
I would not walk out on to that platform if Orlando Bloom and Rose Mcgawn were both naked out there waving for me to join them….Ok, I would. But I was be so piss scared.

NASA Official Accuses Bush Administration of Gagging Scientists
At the same Congressional hearing NASA climate scientist James Hansen accused the Bush administration of preventing scientists from freely speaking to the media about global warming.

Just tell them they wear poppy diapers in space(or driving in cars) Mr. President! Fucking scientist don’t know their place.

THE TITLE IS- EXCUSE ME I NEED DOWNLOAD LOUPS-GAROUX

Someone slap me please next time I check my work e-mail on a day off. I checked by our webmail system on Sunday and could not reply to a pain in the ass person trying to start trouble as this person usually likes to do, I could not reply because the webmail system sucks. Don’t just slap me, slug me next time I check work e-mail from home on a day off…

From Work Whining To Responses To Comments Left:

Damon,
Thanks for stopping by. As you know I always like it when people read things I have written whether it be on a blog or in some other form. As to your questions about The Nation. Yes, I stop by their website almost on a daily basis. I have four or five news sites I visit every day, usually they are Democracy NOW, The Nation, CNN, BBC online, and Salon online.
It was really good to hear from you and I hope you are doing well.

Robbin,
I say we all open a bar together? Wait, no forget that. We all are too much of the moody type and we would drink the profits away. All of us get together, sit there, watch the news, get angry and drink. Wait! Not really a bad idea. Take away the watching the news bit and lets say we all get together and drink?

Geek Speak:

I was putting a few Doctor Who audios on Wave’s iPod so I can listen to them at work tonight. Keeps me from wishing to hit certain people with chairs. Well keeps me from wishing to do it is not stating it correctly. Just distracts me from picking up the object.
My love is so nice because she lets me use her laptop and iPod a lot. Really, I am very lucky. Plus, she’s cute nakered!

Back To Reality:

I called the garage and they will be picked up my truck this morning. They called me told me nothing is wrong with it. I think I feel a big fight coming on with them about it because myself and as well as others who actually know something about vehicles think the very thing they supposedly fixed last time when itwent in to have work done is what is wrong with it now. They said the battery was just drained. I JUST GOT A NEW BATTERY DICKS!

calming down now…

The novella is on Chapter Four right now and around 7000words. Though I keep writing chapters and then gutting them out I’m still moving forward as I do so. So it is sort of like walking out into the ocean and the waves hitting you as you do so. They may knock you around and backwards a bit but you still keep moving forward because it is a nice day at the beach.

Not that I would really know much about the beach. I have lived in Florida for something like six years and have only been to the beach twice.

Did some healthy food shopping over the weekend. Mostly veggies. I will never be totally vegetarian because I just have a good steak, a chicken, and shrimp but I will not be eating as much because my health sucks right now.

And In The News:

Robert Gates: U.S. Will Remain in Middle East For Decades
On Friday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates warned that the United States plans to maintain a presence in the Middle East for decades to come. Gates made the comment during the swearing-in ceremony of Admiral William Fallon to become the new head of U.S. Central Command replacing General John Abizaid. Fallon is the first Naval officer to ever take the helm of Centcom.
Democracy NOW!
9/11 is turning into a out for the U.S. government to do what it has wanted for so long and that is stick its nose into the Middle East and keep it there as a forever part of the region. Iraq is a dammed if you do, dammed if you don’t situation when it comes to keeping troops there or pulling out. The U.S. created this situation out of a need for revenge, not against those of 9/11 but against anyone who has in the past stood up against them. And now you read in the news everyday about Iran. Now tell me if the next generation will have a draft? Now tell me if the next generation will hate Americans? Now tell me if we will have too many more generations at all???

Not much in a news frame of mind today. Happens when work has you pissed and you are pissed also at the world and sad that the person you love is at home sick right now. I know your not on the net love because I have your computer but I Love You.

TITLED: GO ON! GET OFF MY FREEDOM DICK!!

I’m not going to complain or rant or rave about work because I have a job. For now I have a check coming in to pay my bills. Others are not so lucky. I had to tell someone today they no longer have a job and I feel like shit for it.

From work whining to responses to comments left:

…Not many comments left of late but I do very much appreciate when people do take the time to leave comments or send e-mails.

Geek Speak:

A new trailer for the 3rd season of Doctor Who can be found here. Ever time I watch one of the new trailers I think I see The Sontarans? Am I the only one seeing this? I think I’m just being a geek boy since they are one of my favorite alien races from the old series.

Back To Reality:

Thinking about alternate realities after reading Touch‘s latest Live Journal entry. I think myself I live in several alternate realities daily. Now I do not of course mean literally in alternate realities because though I do believe such things exist and that the paths can cross at times from one to the other, one of my theories for ghosts actually but in this bit of rambling I’m doing now I was speaking of my daily ventures to keep my sanity in take…or what is left of it from melting away like a ice cube in the microwave. I do that sometime just to watch them melt and I can print they are people I hate turned into ice, ‘Melt you bastard, melt!’

I have the reality of work which is sort of like being a night watchmen at the gates of Hell, with me having to take up my duties in my little night watchmen building on the side of Hell that is just a tad bit nastier than the other side but in smaller but meaner ways than the other side which is all fire, brimstone, and assholes who think they can push anyone around, anyway they wish. I grind my teeth, put up with the smells, try not to think of it much when at home and take every opportunity to ignore its existence as I have to be a part of it.

Then we come to the reality of my writing. To me everything I am currently writing and have written exists real to me as if books on a shelf. Publishing my work has never been as important to me as the writing itself. I have done did mock interviews in my head(yes talking to myself) about stories or books or whatever to help me get my head better around what I’m trying to say with the writing. I seriously do not think if anything of mine ever finds its way into print that it will be this Earth shattering thing to me because the writing I have done, all the piles of notebooks and computer files are real. Their worlds, the lives of those characters are real to me and they live with me every day…Fuck, what am I saying. If some publisher were to buy something I wrote and planned to publish it, really…in print, I would grab Wave and scream something along the lines of some line of communication thought long dead but in that tongue I would be yelling in extreme excitement. Then compose myself and wonder if someone was playing a joke on me

Another reality I live in is the one when I’m around my love. Not to be Hallmarkey here because the greeting card industry in my view is part of the great Satan’s plan to take over the world. His bibles are the greeting cards and his army are Peeps. My love keeps me calm. Now its hard to explain but I don’t completely mean in the physical or mental sense but in the I am able to be myself around her like I have not been maybe to do around no one else in my life. I’m goofy, serious, joyful, tearful, and just me when she is around. Thus I’m that way when our friends are around also. So basically any way I act is her fault! J

I also need a reality of escape. I say storytelling is truly for this at its hearts. Not that any other genre or object of storytelling is lesser than a good episode of The Three Stooges but it really pisses me off when people attack action movies, or comedies with the slight that they are just for entertainment. No shit. It is why I watch pro-wrestling and don‘t apologize for it. Someone a long time ago said entertainers allow people to escape from their worries for a little time out of the day. That’s a great thing. Take for example my current life. I get off work late. I sleep until late in the day. Shower (from time to time.) And then go to work. After work there is a little, maybe two hour period, depending on how tired I am before I go into the bedroom to lay next to the women I love when I escape from the rest of the world. I read or watch shows like Inuysia or Futurma. That is my time to escape.

Those are my realities. Deal with them. I have to and that is how I get along with the world. We argue a lot other wise. Those things help… and being a smart ass with real New stories like below.

And In The News:

Rove, Gonzales Discussed Attorney Firings in Jan. ‘05
New evidence continues to emerge further implicating the White House in what has been called the politically-motivated firing of eight U.S. attorneys. On Thursday, ABC News revealed previously undisclosed emails showing presidential advisor Karl Rove and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales directly engaged in the process to force out the prosecutors as early as January of 2005. In one email, former aide Kyle Sampson says he and Gonzales spoke about replacing up to one-fifth of the ninety-three US attorneys.Sampson added they had discussed retaining “[those who] are doing a great job [and] are loyal Bushies.” In another message, Sampson wrote: “Due to the history, it would certainly send ripples through the U.S. attorney community if we told folks they got one term only... That said, if Karl thinks there would be political will to do it, then so do I.” Another email from a White House aide reveals Rove requested in-depth updates on the ongoing discussions over whether to fire the attorneys. The White House immediately backed away from its previous claim former counsel Harriet Miers initiated a plan to dismiss all 93 US attorneys. In a statement, the Justice Department said Gonzales “has no recollection” of discussing the firing of US attorneys while he was White House counsel. The disclosures have given new momentum to calls for Gonzales’s removal. Senator Chuck Schumer of New York said: “The odds are very high that he will no longer be the attorney general.”
The Doom Party
No recollection? That’s like the modern political defense for anything. “No sir. I do not recall if I woke up this morning so I could still be asleep and thus have no means by your hands or that of anyone else’s to tell me whether I am awake or not.’ Rove and Gonzales? The Bush Whitehouse is beginning to resemble The Legion Of Doom with those two being bit villains who said at the end of that half circle desk in The Hall Of Doom. By the way if you got that reference you are not only a geek but your old like me.

Report: Gonzales Advised Bush on Blocking Wiretap Probe
As Gonzales continues to take heat over the attorney firings, a new controversy is emerging over his role in the administration’s handling of a Justice Department probe into the warrantless domestic spy program. Investigative journalist Murray Waas is reporting Gonzales advised President Bush on whether to shut down the inquiry shortly after he learnt his own behavior would likely be examined in the investigation. It is unclear what Gonzales advised, but President Bush took action to effectively sideline the case. Insiders say the blocked inquiry would have likely focused on Gonzales’s own role in authorizing the eavesdropping program while he served as White House counsel.
him again
Alberto. Man you are in two pieces straight on Democracy Now. Dude, you’re the shit!

4-Year Anniversary of Rachel Corrie Killing
And finally today is also the fourth anniversary of the death of Rachel Corrie. On March 16, 2003, an Israeli military bulldozer crushed Corrie to death as she tried to stop the demolition of the home of a Palestinian doctor in the Gaza town of Rafah. Eyewitnesses said Rachel was standing directly in the path of the bulldozer holding a megaphone and wearing a fluorescent jacket. She was 23 years old.
23
What did you do at 23?

Shooting his mouth off
I found this to be interesting.

That is it for tonight. Hopefully I will be back to regular updates next week. Everyone go have fun this weekend. Have lots of sex and consume large quality of things that make you dance in front of others.

WHEN DO I HAVE TO TAKE THE OATH?

My life is slaved right now to a working day and night that is nothing but soul stealing. Work day in and day out, hard work day in and day out, and even work I can not stand doing and have no interest in day in and day out is something I can deal with, live with. But to do a job, to do a day job and a night job and find myself in situations of playing people’s lives like chess pieces for the next shiniest coin in the best woven purse makes me want to walk away from the world I work in and find myself not among the upper levers of a company but among the true hands who make this country great and make the wheels of this country turn.
When you walk along the back stage area of a company you know what makes the gears move and why the decisions are made… I really do not think I am the sort of person who can live this sort of lifestyle and just blow it off as work, as just business. I keep after a while no matter were I end up working moving up quickly but management? It is all about money. I need more money and you do not sadly get that being in the fields of the company so to speak. But at what price or point does success become a cancer to not only a mans health but his mind and spirit? My truck is dead once again, I still need to get my teeth repaired from them getting broke months ago… I am here. I am working hard day in and day out. I am barley living at all at times. I am America.

THE TITLE IS: THE TONGUES HAVE FIRE

I am sitting here at 10:2am at the day job with a mountain of work beside me that needs to get done before I go home and it will take me until tonight to get it all done. Oh, and my truck once again has broken down. Shoot it or me, take your pick, either is fine with me.

Last night I wrote a couple thousand words on the novella and discovered a piece of the story that I thought I had no way of getting to and was thinking of throwing out that chapter because the meat of it was not tasty enough for me. Now I'm smiling thinking of where that chapter will go.

Not a lot of time for web surfing today but I found this interesting.

R.I.P. John Inman

One of the television shows that I loved the most and still one of my all time favorite shows, one of the best shows ever made is Are You Being Served? Now we lost one of the greats of comedy and the highlight of that series. I have all of the series on DVD and I still watch the reruns on PBS. I can watched these episodes over and over and I still laugh out loud. That’s a special gift to give to people. Thank you John Inman.
Go here and buy the series. You will laugh or you are not alive.

TITLED: HE IS SO DREAMY WHEN HE GETS ALL FIRED UP!

Setting up for another big weekend at the pay the rent job. I need a Big Mack. Don’t know why but always when I’m really tired, depressed, or stressed I crave McDonalds food. Man, I need twenty Big Macks.

From work whining to responses to comments left:

….that was a tumble weed that danced by just in case you were wondering…

Geek Speak:

Tonight‘s Word
My man speaks out on the death of a hero. A super hero.

God I hope so.
The only thing good Tom Cruise has done is keeping Katie Holmes out of the sequel. I so wanted her to die in Batman begins. You know in that same way everyone wants Lana to die in Smallville?

Film prize for real Springfield
That’s a funny thing about this country. When it comes to naming towns and cities they use the same ones over and over and over and over and over again all Over the country. New York, New York. So nice they named it twice? So Sped is more like it.

Back To Reality:

Someone came to the door last night and handed off a bunch of papers that were found in the pockets of cloths which have been in the laundry room for two weeks. I was sick last time I did laundry and I guess I forgot and left a whole load in one of the machines. Now look whose the Sped. The guy who found the stuff got all pissy with me about being rude and leaving stuff in there. He is one of the snotty people who leave in the complex who still believe the place is actually still a upper scale place to live. It may have been once but now, Not So Much.

I am dying from not writing much the past week. Once I get into a story its almost like a drug to me and I go through withdraw from not getting a chance that often to work on it.

And In The News:

Mass. Urges Halt to Transfers of Detained Immigrants
And finally, the state of Massachusetts is urging the federal government to stop transferring jailed immigrant workers out of state until their children are found and cared for. Around one hundred young children were left without parents this week following a massive raid on a factory employing undocumented workers. More than three hundred people were detained, most of them women. Close to half have already been flown to a detention center in Texas where they await possible deportation. In one case, a mother was detained despite having her seven-month old infant hospitalized for dehydration. The mother was finally released last night.
Democracy NOW!
The government should be charged with child endangerment plain and simple in these cases.

Gingrich Admits Extramarital Affair During Clinton Impeachment
Former Republican House speaker Newt Gingrich has admitted to having an extramarital affair at the same time he lead efforts to impeach former President Bill Clinton over the Monica Lewinski scandal. Gringrich made the admission in an interview with the Christian group Focus on the Family. Gringrich says he is still considering seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
Democracy NOW!
Oh, and I’m sure he will be the main candidate the Christian Right gets behind. It does not surprise me he had a affair…well, it surprise me more than one woman would sleep with him. Hell, it surprises me that more than one woman has sleep with me!

The suicide test
Interesting. The only way you are going to cut down on student suicides is by stopping this notion of having to active this high level of success, mostly in a material way or you are not a success. I was in college for almost 8 years. Yes, you heard right. I have two crappy pieces of paper to show for my education. Well, at least I think I do, maybe I‘m just being delusional again? Maybe but getting pieces of paper handed to me was not what college was to me. It was about opening my mind and growing up in a thinking process sort of way. To my mind my experiences in college were a success but to others I have been told I wasted my time. College should be about advancing your life but it is not life itself. Colleges should look more to helping individuals achieve individual success to what they are and were they are heading. But it is all about money as well as most things are.

Audit Faults FBI on National Security Letters
A Justice Department audit has found numerous errors and possible breaches of the law in how the FBI uses its powers to access the personal information of U.S. citizens. The FBI can obtain telephone, e-mail and financial records by issuing “national security letters” under the USA Patriot Act. Twenty-two possible breaches of internal FBI and government regulations were found out of a sampling of just three-hundred cases. Close to 20,000 national security letters were issued last year.
Democracy NOW!
I just need a minute….Ok. Are you willing to give up all of your freedoms for supposedly a safer life? If you answer no theN GET YOUR ASS UP OFF YOUR ASS AND OUT OF YOUR SEAT AND SAY SOMETHING, SOMEWHERE, TO SOMEONE.

Women’s History – Still Being Written
There is a old southern saying that goes, “I treat people how they would treat my mom.” The world still treats moms and Mother Earth like second class citizens so guess what? They are not just women’s issues. They are my issues also because I have a mom. I have a lady in my life I love. I have friends who I love. I have strangers who I love. These issues and the fight to better the world through bettering the treatment of women in the world is a fight all should stand on be you male or female.

Where do I start? Wait! I will tell you where I end. I’m dead tired.

Back To Reality:

Fuck reality! But if you insist.

And In The News:

Vermont Towns Call for Bush, Cheney Impeachment
In Vermont, nearly thirty towns have passed a resolution calling for the impeachment of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. The measure says the administration misled the country into the invasion of Iraq and violated the Constitution. The resolution comes on the heels of last month’s call by Vermont’s legislature for the immediate withdrawal of US troops from Iraq.
Democracy NOW!
Man, Those Vermont people. Too bad most of the other places of this country have no backbone.

Norway sued by children of Nazis
Sins of the father onto the child? I sometimes wish to fork out my eyes and be as blind as the rest of the world seems to be. Hate, fear, death, abuse if moved forward to the next generation births it into immortality with each instance.

High School Students Suspended for “Vagina Monologues” Performance
Back in the United States, a reading of the play “The Vagina Monologues” has led to the suspension of three female high school students in upstate New York. The students at John Jay High were suspended for including the word ‘vagina’ in their performance. One of the students was supposed to serve her suspension Wednesday but was told it has been postponed pending a review. Another of the three, Megan Reback, said: “What did we do that was so wrong? We were insubordinate, but the reason we were insubordinate was that we talked about our body.”
Democracy NOW!
Wonder if they have to whisper penis in biology class?

Sunlight alters asteroids' spin
It alters my moods. I’m a night person.

Hamas ban Palestinian folktale book
The words when linked as ban and books should make all writers hands shake. And make the rest of the world cry.

Rallies Worldwide Mark International Women’s Day
And finally, women around the world are gathering to mark International Women’s Day. In the Philippines, hundreds of women rallied in Manila against a recent anti-terrorism law. Riot police blocked them from marching on the presidential palace. In Bangladesh, women’s groups took part in rallies in Dhaka. In the Occupied Territories, hundreds of Palestinian women were joined by Palestinian men for a march on an Israeli military checkpoint in the West Bank city of Nablus. The women-led march called for the release of prisoners from Israeli jails and the lifting of the international boycott on the Palestinian government. And in Spain, five hundred women have gathered for a summit of African and Spanish female leaders in Madrid. Attendees include Liberian President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and the Kenyan Nobel laureate Wangari Maathai.
Democracy NOW!
I LOVE THE WOMENS OR WOMINS? OR? Wave how is than way your suppose to spell it without the men or man part of the word?

I leave you this night with this.

CALENDAR OF THE HALL OF FAME

Protesting the sounds of my fists with my mouth,
Waking up in the very ditch I was born,
Writing down the nature of my mind as everything passes due south,
Why are these lessons mine alone to learn?
Never mind the lines on my arms,
Never mind the missing teeth,

Keep your sense of God to your self,
I race from good to evil without mention of you in my words,
Being broken is my wealth,
I have stood by Angels crying and watched them fall without a second thought,
You see the sky and I see the ceiling coming down upon us,
Preach and my spirit will love us,
Preach and he will sing out to us,

Standing on the buildings you built from the lost years of so many lives,
Wishing away so many gives me no shame,
Being broken is my health,

I have stood by Angels crying and watched them fall without a second thought,
You see the sky and I see the ceiling coming down upon us,
Preach and my spirit will love us,
Preach and he will bleed on us,
Look what your scriptures have brought,
My hands bleed,
They bleed,
I bleed,
I bleed,
I hang here and bleed for you,

TITLED: MONTHS OF NOTICE FOR GOD TO NOTICE

I feel an all nighter coming on and I don’t like it. Just tired.

From work whining to responses to comments left:

Robbin,
I wondered if anyone paid attention to those labels.
I wish for this blog to be a insight into who I am in many ways. One of those being the things that catch my eye and the way in which they do so and my first thoughts when seeing these things.

Geek Speak:

Season Three is coming!!!

Back To Reality:

I’m really getting pissed that I’m not getting more time to do more writing. The day job is bleeding me dry right now but I need to work as much as I can to advance and earn more money. I have a huge opportunity with the company right now and I need to keep the foot that I put in, in and make sure no one forgets the work I’m doing even for a moment.

And In The News:

Wisconsin Governor Jim Doyle has turned down about $600,000 in federal abstinence education money because it would affect how much recipients could talk about contraception and STDs.
Wisconsin turns down abstinence-only money
I still believe both sides posture around when people are dying and getting sick just because no one wishes to admit that human beings are just another animal. We fuck, we love, we buy DVDS, we watchth House, and we die. We’re fucking animals people, deal with it. Abstinence does not work. With a lot of issues I feel like yelling, ‘This should be easy people, we should be moving on to something else.’

US Won’t Seek Seat on UN Human Rights Council
The Bush administration has announced it will not seek a seat on the UN Human Rights Council for the second straight year. The administration opposed the council’s formation as a replacement to the United Nations Commission on Human Rights last year. US officials say the council has lost credibility and is biased towards Israel.
Democracy NOW!
Lost credibility. Come on. This administration has about as much credibility as my degrees do.

The Associated Press is to complain to the US military after journalists said US soldiers deleted footage of the aftermath of an attack in Afghanistan.
US 'erased Afghan attack footage'
A old saying goes. Even if no one is around, the truth can not be erased.

Whistleblower: L.A. Times Heeded Government Request to Quash Internet Spy Story
A whistleblower who helped reveal government spying on the internet has discovered the Los Angeles Times aborted breaking the story at the request of the Bush administration. The whisteblower, Mark Klein, is a former technician at AT&T. Last year, Klein revealed the National Security Agency had set up secret spy rooms in several AT&T offices. In an interview with ABC News, Klein says he worked with am L.A. Times reporter for two months to reveal the secret program. But Klein says editors killed the story at the request of then-National Intelligence Director John Negroponte and then-NSA director General Michael Hayden. He then went to the New York Times.
Democracy NOW!
You know what. Big Companies and our government are fucking bride and groom. And anyone who thinks they don’t rape us over with information sharing and the such are being lopsided in the head.

ACLU Sues Over Child Detentions at Texas Immigration Jail
And finally, in the latest update on a story Democracy Now has been covering, the American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit against US government officials on behalf of ten children held at an immigration jail in Texas. The ACLU says the children have been subjected to inhumane treatment as their families await immigration decisions. The suit names Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff and six immigration and customs officials. Some four hundred people are detained at the Hutto facility in Taylor, Texas. Around half of them are children. Hutto is owned by the private prison company, Corrections Corporations of America.
US 'erased Afghan attack footage'
Well, when you are able to treat people like they are not even people for whatever reason of law then things like this happen. The majority of people in this country turn away and forget the moment they hear the world illegal.

Republicans already smearing themselves
Republicans breathing.

Robotic age poses ethical dilemma
No shit.

Ten notorious presidential pardons
I want a list. Ten great Presiden….Wait, Five grea….Three?

Radcliffe signed for last 2 'Potter' films
Good. Now sign the others. I love the books and these movies.

Captain America dies
This says a lot about the American state of constant character crisis that we are living in now. Our myths, our legends, our Gods are a mirror to ourselves.

Too much, driving me crazier. Lets end with this. My favorite Captain America cover. And yes, I have that issue. At least I think I still do?

TITLED: THE WORK SHOP LOOKS LIKE MY BEDROOM

Boss came in today grabbed his three best people, Me being one of those…I know, I can’t explain it either and we headed out in a van and a big truck to move all of one of our buildings to a temporary warehouse location. We had to unload everything, sort through what we needed for this building, loaded everything needed back into the truck and head back here were we unloaded everything needed once again.
Take a breath.
So now our shop is crammed full of materials and machines. Good news out of all of this we kicked ass and did all of this work in a few hours. That would never have happen at my previous job. And I grabbed me another flat screen monitor for my other computer in the shop. Now I work off two computers with flat screen monitors. That’s just cool to me.
I’m worn out now though and seriously have no idea how I’m going to make it through the night but I will.

From work whining to responses to comments left:

None? That’s sad. No one loves or hates me today. Lets see if I can change that before the day is out.

Geek Speak:

Go here for a geek moment. Looks like it will be a good movie. I just hope it is not the last, though I do not want another director doing it as a fan I think Sam Rami is the best for this series and if he can not or does not wish to do more they should just move on to another Marvel character and then come back to Spiderman in five or ten years.

Back To Reality:

Last night was busy I did not take much of any sort of break at work and when I got home I more or less got something to eat and crashed in bed. I think I’m getting a sore throat because mine has been hurting the past few days. All of this has keep me from writing even a little on the novella, though I did do something good for the writers soul last night before heading to bed. I read, I’m currently re-reading Life, The Universe, And Everything by Douglas Adams.

And In The News:

Ann Coulter Defends Calling John Edwards a "Faggot"
Conservative writer and commentator Ann Coulter is defending her decision to call presidential candidate John Edwards a "faggot." Last night on Fox News, Coulter said "I think the lesson young right-wingers ought to draw from this is: it's really not that scary to attack liberals.” Coulter's comments came during the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C. On Monday three major corporations -- Verizon, Sallie Mae and the Georgia-based NetBank – announced they would pull their ads from Ann Coulter's website.
Democracy NOW!
I…Well…Maybe I should not say anything?…Oh, fuck! This lady is one of the worst political mud racketeers out there. She has made a career out of one thing. Saying controversial things. Being racist, prejudice, and insulting to others is her switch words to her bank account. Now normally I don’t mind someone being insulting to others or even myself. Keeps us on our toes. And being racist. Hey, your thoughts no matter how stupid are your thoughts. But for someone like this to profit from being one of the worst examples of the political wasteland we live in makes me very angry. I would rather fucking French kiss Rush Limbaugh than defend this woman’s freedom of speech but I will say she has the right to say what she wishes. I just wish the rest of the country would hold her accountable for her statements the same way they seem to attack others for things they say but they will not. You know why? The religious right, you know the true power behind modern conservatives, love words like Faggot and love they probably get off every time she says it.

Fort Eustis drill sergeant faces charges of molesting trainees
Boner of steel? Sorry, couldn’t help it. Needed to laugh at something I should laugh at.

astronaut's bizarre behavior
This is Robbin Birds’ favorite story and it will not go away. I’m waiting for the Lifetime movie. I’m thinking the guy from Wings will play the guy and how about the mom from Family Ties as Ms. Space Crazy. I think they should animate it actually and have it shown on HBO and have the creators of South Park write the screenplay. You know where that would lead. A whole long scene about diapers and the drive.

Anna Nicole Smith Gets 12X As Much Coverage as Walter Reed
And finally Fox News is being criticized for spending more time covering the death of Anna Nicole Smith than the scandal at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. According to the website ThinkProgress.org, Fox News devoted 12 times more coverage to Anna Nicole Smith on Friday than Walter Reed.
Democracy NOW!
Hell, that’s ground shattering news attacks by Fox News standards. But to be honest and we have to be folks. All major news channels are the same as Fox News, Fox News are just more in your face with their prejudices and stupid lines of thinking. The beast I know I have no problem with. It is the CNN’s of the world which truly piss me off.

The private war of women soldiers
I found this very interesting. I never knew how much different military life was for women until Wave helped enlighten me to the subject.

Poll: Israel, Iran, U.S., N. Korea Most Negative Influence in World
A new survey by the BBC World Service has found that Israel, Iran, United States and North Korea are perceived as having the most negative influence on the world. Japan, France, the European Union and Canada are seen as the most positive.
Democracy NOW!
Ok, that’s it. I’m moving to Canada. Hey, I would say Japan, France, or somewhere in the EU but unless it is somewhere were they speak English big time I would be shit out of luck because I barley speak my native tongue more less anything else. Not because I don’t wish to, my brain just sort of barley functions in straight lines. Why I have such a problem with Math, and spelling and grammer and non-digital clocks and…

I will leave you with this

TITLED: MOCALS ENGLISH HISTORY…WAIT, ITS NOT MOCALS?

Don’t ask…These people better be glade I had a good weekend with the lady I love, did not watch any news, and that I’m currently writing something I’m really enjoying writing because…..Don’t ask….

From work whining to responses to comments left:

Robbin,
You are as bad as Mar, reading Astronomy magazine’s on your break. I maybe a geek but I know a few nerds! Just kidding, though you ladies are nerds. I’m going to go now and search for Doctor Who stuff. That’s my religion which outweighs science by miles.

Geek Speak:

Nothing really. LONG LIVE GEEKDOM!

Back To Reality:

The novella took a weird turn over the weekend into a genre of story I am not really the biggest fan of. Now I am at the point of being almost finished with the rough 1st Draft and to be honest it’s a muddled mess right now. I like it but think I need to do a lot of work to make sure this mess of world building will be entertaining to others. I want to have the final draft complete by July? Well, Hell, Lots of hard work ahead but I’m enjoying myself so much right now just writing this that even if at the end it ends up being put in a drawer it will be a very satisfying experience.

And In The News:

U.S. Court Tosses Out Suit Over CIA Torture
A U.S. federal appeals court has ruled a lawsuit over the CIA's secret prisons and use of torture can not go forward because it would expose government state secrets. The German citizen Khaled el Masri sued the CIA after he was kidnapped in Macedonia and flown to Afghanistan. El Masri was held for five months in a secret prison where he says he was drugged, beaten and interrogated. Anthony Romero of the American Civil Liberties Union said “With today's ruling, the state secrets doctrine has become a shield that covers even the most blatant abuses of power.” Meanwhile the German newspaper Der Spiegel is reporting that senior US diplomats are pressuring German officials not to go ahead with a related case. German officials recently issued arrest warrants for 13 suspected CIA agents for their role in the kidnapping of El-Masri.
Democracy NOW!
State secrets have been used to cover up some many grand atrocities throughout history. When will we are as a family called humanity stop, look around us, and see that this world is all that each of us make it to be. We are all responsible for every death from starving, we all have blood on our hands when we live our days as usual day after day, we all should cry at the pain that overwhelms this planet each day it spins.

U.S. To Build New Generation of Nuclear Warheads
The Bush administration has announced plans to go ahead with building the nation's first new nuclear weapon in nearly two decades. On Friday the National Nuclear Security Administration selected the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory to design a new nuclear warhead to replace older ones. The United States still maintains an arsenal of 6,000 nuclear warheads. Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California criticized the move to create a new nuclear warhead at a time that the United States is pushing other countries to drop nuclear weapons programs.
Democracy NOW!
Because the last generation just did not give you that happy BOOM feeling a normal mushroom cloud did. I’m no pacifist. I just punched knuckle prints into the wall beside my desk.

TITLED IS: MY SCIENTIFIC THEORY OUR LEADERS ARE little snip snips!

The last day before my weekend off. Hell, it feels like I’m taking this huge vacation when its only two days but I don’t think I’ve had a day off in months. At least it seems like months.

From work whining to responses to comments left:

Robbin,
-I felt like a cartoon that night typing on three computers. Insane I tell you, insane. Now I’m down to only two which is still crazy but at least I only need to spin my chair to go from one to the other.
-The main reason I have problems with John McCain is he went one way as a politician and when that did not work he now is trying to go the other and I just see that like someone bouncing off one drawn on the wall door to the other drawn on the wall door. You are still not getting anywhere no matter how many doors your fabricate with crayon.
-I really myself, just personally do not see any difference between the kind of faith in theory and that in the religious kind. People are filling in opinions where there is only black spots of nothing to get were you are going and sometimes as in religion you put in what you want to get you where you wish to be.
And I disagree that Scientific theories are based on empirical evidence, experiments, and fact. Maybe those on this Earth when we deal with things we can touch and see up close but we have no idea about how the rest of the universe works in my opinion until we actually are there in these places physically and until then we go from what we know as fact, add faith, and stir into a theory.
Religion though I do think would fall closer to comparing to history than science because a lot of religion is based off some historical facts. History is as you said only as accurate as whoever is keeping the records, just like the saying the winner writes the history books. Is not science though only as accurate as who’s theories are believed over others? And what tomorrow will bring us as to new discoveries?
Just remember though I flunked most of my science classes or barley passed them so you are way ahead of me on this stuff. Just my thoughts. Oh, and I believe we live in a series of trans-dimensional realities so none of this really matters because in each reality you will find new sets of ourselves and laws when it comes to life, the universe, and everything. :)

Thanks for the comments Robbin and anyone else who leaves comments or sends me e-mails thank you very much. As always if you feel a need to rant, rave, or just say hello you can e-mail me at: hangofwednesday@gmail.com

Geek Speak:

Outpost Gallifrey
I always wanted a Doctor Who scraf :(

Back To Reality:

Printed off what I have on the novella last night as I do with a story every few chapters so I can look it over and plan out what my next couple of steps will be. Going to do some mad writing over the weekend between times of just vegging and Wave kicking my ass for being lazy and not having work for a excuse. I promise to take out the garbage at least once over the weekend….I’ll try at least to remember to…though I know..I know…It must be so frustrating to live with me. I know it is for me…to live with me.

And In The News:

Falwell's Statements On Global Warming
Evangelical Christian leader Jerry Falwell came out swinging against global climate change over the weekend, telling his congregation in Virginia that naive Christians are being duped into believing the phenomenon is actually happening.
WMFE
Did I ever tell you I have met Mr. Jerry Falwell. Did I ever tell you I refused to shake his hand while my papa, a preacher himself gave me a look that could kill. I think I was around 15 at the time. He never took me anywhere with me again which was fine with me. Never thought he treated my mom and dad right.

Ex-Rep. Ney Reports to Prison
And finally, former Republican Congress member Bob Ney has reported to prison to begin a thirty-month sentence. Ney was convicted for lying about his dealings with convicted Republican lobbyist Jack Abramoff. For years, Ney traded his political influence for gifts, vacations, campaign contributions and, in one case, fifty thousand dollars in gambling chips. He will serve his jail term in a minimum security prison in West Virginia.
Democracy NOW!
I think they may have went too hard on him. God, I need a vacation from this country. I need a trip back to Canada soon, I miss it.

And lets end with this. My friend Robin and I keep having his debate because I do not believe in blackholes and she is a scientist lady. But after me saying I did not believe in blackholes she left me this comment which literally made me do a spit take.
You're passing by a singularity. You get sucked in. As you're being torn apart at the event horizon, you yell, "Robbin was right! Unfortunately, in space, no one can hear me concede!"
