The Simplified Mind of a Killer

I wonder if John Wilkes Booth had the same thought when he decided to assassinate Lincoln. Think about it, he was an actor, at first thought to have been helping the south. But he ended up not helping the South, he ended up hurting the South. It was found out after the fact that he wasn't known to have been workin with or for anyone, which begs the question: did he just want to be famous?

Now I know there have been some pretty far fetched theories about stuff like this, but I bet this one is the farthest out there. I want to be the guy who thinks so far outside the box that the other guys living outside the box look at me and say who the hell is this whack job. If I can do that then I believe I'll have accomplished my short term goal of being unique. If your thinking wow that's a pretty big short term goal you should see the long term ones. I don't want you to tell anyone this, but I was thinking of growing my own island. No not like in Superman, mine will have more Kryptonite so that Superman can't stop me..Duhh. Alls I'm saying is that if I have my own island I can set up my own government, and eventually be recognised by the world as an independent nation, my main export being of course, coal, don't ask me how I just know it will be. But then eventually I'll let the U.S, annex my nation, turning a hefty profit of $50,743,826,972.569. That's right I got it down to a science. And just a side note to China, you better not interfere because I will whoop your ass for real. Peace!!!

The Little Things

You hear people say it a lot, and it's really become sort of a cliché. But you really do have to appreciate the little things in life.

Let me tell you a little story. I had been working for about three hours this morning. Catering to the Sunday brunchers and the Saturday night drunkards trying to keep their buzz from the night before. It was overly hot in the restaurant, because the heat was still on even thought the temperature had reached nearly seventy degrees. When I finally got cut, I walked outside. The warmth hit me like a brick wall when when I stepped out into the sun. Then as if that was enough a fresh cool breeze hit me, instantly cooling me off and cleansing my entire being it seemed like.

You never do truly realize how cold you've been during winter until the warmth of spring replaces the chill all the way down to your marrow. The little moment outside of my work place refreshed my life. Not that I was depressed or anything, but if there were ever any doubts they're officially gone now.

I really hope that the warm weather is here to stay this time. Twice now mother nature has teased us with warm weather only to to replace it with below zero temperatures, but not this time. If it happens again there will be a full scale revolt.

P.S. Looking for soldiers to fight mother nature in the revolt. All applicants welcome. Must be eighteen years or older to apply.

Twitter

Have you heard of this? It's a website you can go to, get an account and then send it answers to simple questions via text or just through the web. Normally no big deal, just another stupid social networking site, but in my opinion this is becoming a problem. I saw a special on TV the other day about Twitter. The segment talked about how politicians actually go on to this website while their sitting in committee to post. That's absolutely ridiculous. I'm not going to pretend to know exactly how it works, or why it holds so much appeal, but I do know a problem when i see one.

These guys are supposed to be shaping our country and instead they're posting answers to stupid questions for their friends instead of having debates and passing laws. You elect these people people. You should be outraged. The laws that you want passed are sitting idle because your congressman/woman is tweeting.

I know I know. How are we going to stop them. Well I would say just to set up a cell phone jammer so that they can't access the web on their blackberries, but there is always the occasional emergency call so we don't want to do that. If I may suggest something so extreme as to stop electing officials that slack at their job? what if when you hear of one of them doing this, and the next time he/she is on the chopping block to simply chop them. And make it clear why you did it too. So that the nest one has no illusions of how you feel about the matter.

Socialize on your own time, not our time, not the nations time.
