Now as I lay me down to sleep

I drink an ale that'll take a good kick to your teeth.

I have been working on better discipline the past couple weeks. Regular exercise. Actually cooking for myself instead of PBJ and cold cuts. Awaking every morning at 6:30a to enjoy as much of my day before I go to work from 2:30p to 11p. Working everyday, all the week long, I have really grown a massive desire to capitalize on my own time as much as possible.

It is at this point that I realized that Edison was right. Sleep is the enemy. It steals my time. We either succumb completely or make deals with it in order to optimize our function, but we rarely beat it. If we do, sanity is the price: I've seen shit I've wanted to believe.

So, here's a beer to toast you here. I'm taking a night off from my self-imposed regimen and going to bed whenever I'm tired and not a moment sooner.

Hit by car

so back when morning was transitioning into afternoon, I was hit by a car while riding my bike. Nothing overly dramatic. I saw him coming up to a stop sign. It appeared that he looked in my direction and he had a stop sign, so I didn't slow. He didn't stop at the stop sign.

To begin. I am not hurt, I was not knocked over, my boot left a dent in his bumper, and my bike wheel was warped enough that I have to get a new one ($45).

The guy was petrified. He offered me his number and to give me a ride. It's a larger mountain bike so it wouldn't fit in his car. I told him not to worry about it, shit happens, sorry to put a damper on his day and make the rest better. Put my bike on my shoulder and walked the mile to the bike shop I had just bought this bike from last weekend.

I felt bad for the guy (the one who hit me). It is a harrowing experience to both accidently hurt someone and within a split second suddenly have your balls in the grip of someone who could definitely choose to squeeze.

It seems like too many people do go for the squeeze. The reactions I have gotten so far seem to fall in the, "You should make him pay for it" category. "Forgive and Forget" is seemingly an archaic in these days of rampant insurance.

Now, I do not believe in total "turn the other cheek" life. Not by a long shot. But there is a certain discernment system that I believe is a lot healthier than the current "gut them for all their worth" mentality I see so often.

Basically, $45, isn't enough to shit a brick about, and politeness & concern towards a fellow man(or woman) should be rewarded with civility in return. To overly focus on the small setbacks is a waste of time, energy and positive emotion. It hurts you as well as the "offending" party.

Now, if the guy was a jerk, instead of politeness I would of been very demanding. No reason to reward an ass by not squeezing his balls. Besides, maybe he likes it and that's why he's an ass. Just so people put his balls in a vise.

Divide by Zero

One foot is stuck in a black hole and the other is talking to me in Esperanto
My Hands? Don't ask.
Who's the fucker who divided by zero?

Newspapers

The Newspaper industry wants protection from emerging and better news sources.

I could go on and on how the very main problems we see in the news today: healthcare, energy, marijuana, etc. are DIRECTLY derived from this kind of action, but that's for other people with more time.

I just have to say this. I have had to switch jobs 3 times in the past year, so fuck you whining writers and your society destroying protectionist schemes. Go be a blogger or work in/create new forms of information communication. Do something productive.

As an aside, who wants to bet me that the this Net Neutrality bill that's being worked on has proponents that are receiving money from the newspaper industry. I have 20 bucks on the table.

Good Luck

Thank God I don't work this anymore!!!





While the hours I now work are tremendous (60-70hr/wk, 7 days/wk), my current employment is VASTLY superior as a Nestle Refinery Lab Tech as opposed to the emotional stress of listening to the unwashed masses bitch for 50 hrs a week. Plus the pay is much better, and I am more fit.

I feel sorry for those left behind at Metavante, for I am sure that it was extra hell dealing with Michigan when everyone was about to riot for handouts that "OBAMA PROMISED ME" a couple weeks back.

The scary issue is that right now, these people are as a gun being loaded. A massive amount of force that will do the bidding of any psychopath that promises them a free lunch. Sure these same people will turn around and attempt to tear to pieces when they don't get their free lunch (they'll never know there is no such thing), but whoopdee fuck, my life is already disrupted (not ended, I prepared).

I would tie this back to Austrian Economics. One key point of Austrian Economics is that corrections are inevitable when fiat currency is involved. It insulates the economically insane from their folly at the expense of everyone else.

While this technically happens in a free-market banking as well, it is limited to one bank and takes vastly less time for the correction to occur on a vastly smaller scale (think, oh did you hear the bank down the street got caught and went insolvent, guess we'll have to switch banks) as opposed to central banks which inflates a far LARGER area to a FAR greater extent, with money going to government to amplify the situation even more, so that when the Correction arrives instead of the sentiments of "oh, that sucks" or "what happened? it didn't affect me" we have a correction of "HOLY SHIT BALLS THE WORLD IS COMING THE FUCK APART! SOMEBODY GRAB a GOD, a GUN, and some ADDERALL, I HAVE WORK TO DO!"

This logical and well-demonstrated reasoning applies to society (go figure) as well. the fantastic adage "The ultimate result of shielding men from the effects of folly is to fill the world with fools." The impetus is now fully government (monopolized violence) in the form of regulations, laws, and welfare, the result is your teeming unwashed masses that think not of growth, creating wealth, and breathing free, but instead act more as a ravenous maw that consumes all.

The Correction being when that maw consumes itself. The problem being this should never have happened (again.) and the sheer depravity and horror of the collapse will drive others to, intentionally or not, misinterpret the causes and seek out to start the whole shindig all over again.

"But the Maw is made of PEOPLE!" Yep, tough fucking cookies. I tried to help some but they attacked me for my pipe, my food, my car, my air, my energy, my life. Let them be driven towards the slaughter that they desire so badly. I guess you can think of it this way (i do) government is a cancer destined to kill the host. It has turned too many of the working cells of the body into useless consuming bloated disease that drain and spread, creating more and more of their own in every portion of the body. The body is about die. The remainder of productive living cells have already or are working towards getting out of the way. Lets hope these are mostly gametes. :)

But enough of that tripe,

That is the future. For now I am enjoying life, working hard, and planning while the storm grows and the frenzy builds. Though I have to say, from my experience being unemployed that all I got from my lack of work was a massive gumption not to have a lack of work.

also, an aside: I realize that I did not specify beyond the unemployed and perhaps government, but I include in that terminal cancer all the positions of bureaucrats, state supported "educators", towers of corporate offices, all filled to the brim with people that would be doing something far more productive with their lives if there wasn't all these men with guns going about and extorting people over every thing they think they can get away with.

RANT TOO LONG, back to life.

Pick the one I find the LEAST stupid.




I take that back. Pick the one I actually find to be quite intelligent.

Jesus Christ have Mercy

So Gerald Celente predicts by 2012 we'll have revolution. Who else said that a couple years ago? Hmmmmm.... Not dissing on Gerald, I'm sure he knew it then (the guy is head and shoulders above me in talent and resources). But ha!

I'm so glad to have this job now. Sure it's a constant drain to go to work EVERY day, but I'm making the money to pay off debt and put into actual wealth now.

On my way to work

I am in love with a month, it's an abomination. I know. October is wonderful to see passing by as I drive to work every day an hour there, an hour back.

Though I do find myself making deals with God to protect me from the elderly and the drunk as I make my way to and from work, respectively. I promise that if He lets me reach ages of great heights I will do his bidding and garner the souls of a dozen dozen hapless young drivers.

Should I stay or should I go?

While the work is tremendous, current and future awards about from my current occupation. Problem is, I have absolutely no desire to stay in Wisconsin...None. Nada. Nein. I'm told that if I stay a yearish I have a good shot at a supervisor position, so I'll definitely stick around to see if I can get that I wouldn't mind being 24 and making close to six digits...wow and to think two months ago I was financially struggling.

Plus, for the first time, I can afford to go to NH liberty shindigs...Hellz yeah...

Biology

Fuck binary, I'm ATGC and sometimes You.
Yet, with all this complexity,
Be I just another ape with barren paws?

Ok, Back

So, I'm working at Nestle as a Lab Tech. The Job is currently 24/7 and there's only three of us with the other two being nearish to retirement and with some severe problems at home (death, coping, loss of spouse, etc.) So I work 12 hrs on weekends so that every week one of them gets a break. Plus, really, what else am I go do except get in trouble? I'm living alone (for the first time ever now that I think about it), have a lot of energy and prone to violent thoughts against the gov't. Probably a good thing I'm working 60 to 84 hrs a week and taking a class on the side.

Which is where I am now, "studying" for a social psychology class at a university that exemplifies some of my major issues with the current problems with universities in general. Though, unlike DePauw, this one will definitely weather the coming economic shitstorm a bit better off than extinction.

That negativity aside, and the fact that I'm learning terms for a bullshit class made off of bullshitty extrapolations of extrapolations of experiments made 40 years ago, it's definitely nice to be in a demographic where you aren't 20 yrs younger than everyone else around you. And the attractiveness is up...

Let's be honest, people do not change much as they age save two generalities, they lose sex appeal and they lose energy. The general personalities are very much the same throughout. Wisdom with age my ass. Maybe once long ago when the cleverest survived to old age, I'd say the old tend to be wise, but now...not so much. I hear the same stupid shit out of both the retiring and the pupils.

Positive thinking: it makes a big difference, but for some of us to keep positive in certain situations is like taking the role of Sisyphus or Atlas. Combine the two, I'm pushing the world uphill...I like that. POSITIVE!

Working

Long time no post. Shouldn't say the obvious, suffice to say....I'm really....really busy. However, I am now less busy than the previous maximum business (presented by me losing 30 lbs. and my mind for a bit there) and so will come back. To writing this Blog a bit. Ok, I'm sleeping now up in six hrs. God I look forward to Oct. 16th. My first day off since Labor day
