career builder, the new unintentional cartoon
Are there enough keywords there? "Job, money, sex, drugs ... billions, trillions." I wonder if there is a limit to the number of keywords you can use. If you use that many keywords to get people to find you, uh ... you really aren't specific and I would venture that it isn't a job that I'd want.

trends
I posted many pics on flickr. It's funny. I posted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. scenes from his "I have a dream" speech and I get no views. I put "bulge" in response to a very old humorous British window washer commercial, 1 view. I use the word, "breasts" concerning a video where a woman is suddenly aware of the viewers' attention on her breasts, and pow -- more views. I wonder if I used other terminology for them.
I think it underscores stats ... sex sells -- women's anatomy sells better, faster, more frequently. To deny this is to lie to one's self. I should have named my blog something like that to draw lots of hits.
BTW: "cute" doesn't garner any more hits than "sweet"
"breasts" (or the equivilent), "money", [sexual terms], "chocolate" generate hits.
I also have nature pictures ... more common (public) photos of mine. "moss" got no hits but lady cardinal got views. So do "hot" topics like Hezbollah and Hassan pics. An earlier blog I mentioned supporters, well beyond the southern Lebanon area.

Man, oh, man!
I am so happy with the new form, sir. You don't know how long I spent with a long-winded spiel about why John Doe doesn't get the job or why Jane Doe can't be a part of our great team. The new form letter, "F*ing No!" is so refreshing. I put in the name at the top, courtesy of MS Word and pow! It prints off thirty thousand. Better still ... I'm not mailing a blinking thing! I email those bits and sit back and peruse the internet for stuff. Thanks boss.
What about the recipients? Oh, I guess the "F*ing NO!" should be simply ... "No, not at this time ---
loser!"
I got one with a stationary, watermark circled "L". What does that mean?

Just say no
I keep seeing this or a link to it in job searches. "Go Army". How about go away army! I still fall under the extended enlistment age of 42; for those bowflex users and I'm still not biting. Now, if I were a tactiction* and was guaranteed real benefits, I might consider it -- for seconds. I don't want to join army, navy, air force, marines even though it's a great place to start. I don't want to join the National Guard and defend my life --- oh, I mean the border ... of Syria, Jordan ... or the US, maybe.

Language
Firefox Lingo, my foot! Firefox B-ling -as are having all yor baasses. It's still in the crawling stage, beyond infant but still at todler stage. The syntax is terrible, making reading like driving on the grooved shoulder (bumps every 0.3 seconds reminding you to slow). Sometime soon, it will be more accurate, having a larger base of euphemisms and phrases. I saw a referring page to one of my blogs was from Sweden. Her blog was a sad one, with reflections of a passed loved one.

Hezbollah has a following
Israel sends bombs to southern Lebanon and Hezbollah sends out the word of the evils of Israel. I cannot believe at the following this group has. I'd say a group that killed 240 some Marines in '83, and will never stop attacking the military of Israel (as they have claimed), isn't a group I could support. The leader, cleric Sheik Hanssan Nasrallah has said that he isn't interested in a war with the US. I don't think that he can see the relationship between Israel and the US. I really don't see the US siding with too many fundamentalist Muslim groups or nations.
I can understand him having a following in Lebanon, but in other nations -- a wonder. As I was looking at flickr, a woman had pictures pro Nasrallah and against Israel. Now, I know that it's very unlikely, given her name and that she's posting on the internet that she's from southern Lebanon. I can just see her typing away, if covered, her messages on how evil Israel is, from a bombed-out building. Oh, wait ... no. She's probably in the West, away from the fighting.
Hey, make a stand for them -- join them in southern Lebanon. I personally think that she should be a part of that. Be a real groupee.
I did see on MSNBC that Hezbollah and bin Laden supposedly don't share some ideals and are from different groups, Sunni and Shiate. If that is so, and they have a tear war between the two, that would be excellent, but not for the citizens. I think, however, it might show the lunacy in their warfare in that civilians and children are preferred targets with missiles, as the military can be taken down with other methods.
Another thing I find amazing is why the media had to tell people why children make "great" targets. Obviously when killed, they end a generation, are smaller (weaker), and it demoralizes the enemy. That works only on small scales. If that group were to try that in America ... I think the US would evacuate everyone from Israel. Yep -- you all can have that place, for the next 500,000 years. You won it! [missiles in the air] Go ahead. Take it!
The US would not back down on targeting children. Hell! I'd break into installations and fire the nukes myself. Israel has an edge. While Syria has clearly sided with Hezbollah -- selling them weapons and providing shelter to terrorists; clearly they have to obtain them from somewhere, like Iran. If Iraq goes postal (civil war eminant), getting weapons through might be easy or impossible. Also, the US could snipe the convoys without suspicion.
I'm not a supporter of civilian killing, but I can't fault Israel from defending itself again as it will always have to do while it is surrounded by groups wanting to kill it. I still maintain that Israel, for whatever arguments people make against them, had a fairly peaceful area with Jews, Christians and Muslims alike. Name a Muslim area or nation with Christians -- Jews. That's right, you can't! I cannot side with groups who kill non-Muslims.

hull breech
I was painting again. It seems to be my lot in life. I finished and when I was cleaning out brushes and trays, the outside well (not where one gets water) was filled with paint water and plant materials. Because of the materials -- the water went nowhere. I thought that it would eventually drain and went in to wash my hands then shower. I went to the basement (opposite side of well) and the paint water had crept in, along the floor (under the joining door to the outside). I dropped scrap towels to hold back what could have been a flood. I went outside and bailed the excess water from the well. After the well was 5 mm filled with water, very safe, I returned to clean up the mess.
It had crept under a storage cabinet, thankfully plastic and easier to move. It also went under the clothes washer, so I had to move it and clean the mess there. Yikes! It had been a while seen I had pulled back the cabinet and the washer. Goo, eww ... and gross! Suffice to say that the energy I had for the second coat of paint today, was spent on the water disaster. I am spent.
The good news is that God was looking out for me, in that it rained heavily in the afternoon and the plugged well would have been an issue, perhaps. Thanks God!

false forest footsteps
On the peripherial of the meadow, edging toward the forest, undergrowth eiks out an existence, protected -- given sunlight be virtue of the meadow. Approaching this, with camera in hand, I'm asailed with mosquitos on a misson of blood, successful for many. I'm deafened a bit from the buzzing, the vile critters entering my ear, yet I hear a peculiar sound. The rustling I hear is right in front of me. I stand silent, looking.
I hear it then to me left, then to my right. It sounds 5 - 8 yards away (~ 10 meters). I can't smell the thing. It's a person, right? The person or persons aren't talking and they don't seem to be getting closer. I'm at a loss as to what's happening. I'm so wrapped up in it, I couldn't hear anything else -- not even the incessant mosquitoes. Are the trees moving ... no. Their trunks are righted and the wind isn't moving the branches. What then is the noise?
I see leaves move. There is an imaginary line of bent leaf, then bent leaf, bent leaf... something fell. I look again, another, odder path, but branches, limbs and leaves are struck. Something's dropping. I don't know ... acorns? No. They are buckeyes being picked apart, pieces being chiselled away by the tens of squirrels in the trees. Flakes strike leaves making false footsteps.
I know this, because I stood under a tree with a group of squirrels doing this, where the flakes rained down on me. The ground around the tree, becoming green and yellow from the inedible/untasty parts of the buckeyes, in favor of the nut and the meat of it's center. A forest isn't haunted -- only your mind.

blown apart
Upon closer examination of the target, if not instantly killed, massive bleeding wout ensure death.
While I have my own little "perspectvie" on this small sampling, it is from Discovery Channel's "Future Weapons", which covered different types of explosions.
This prefaced a demonstration of a new explosive used in Afghanistan against cave-protected Taliban and Al Quada.
Death comes in many different flavors and colors.

Kiss?

McLaughlin group debated, "Evidently, low approval ratings can be contracted through saliva."
What in the world were each of them thinking? I really doubt it was a kiss, but that was all kind of bad timing! Whatever it was, it is now and forever a kiss. It was a bad call. Left only with the dismal "what is the definition of 'is'".
The statement whispered to him should have been, "this isn't a good idea."

Israel
It hasn't changed really, just the ebb and flow of violence.
Iran calls death to Israel. Oh ... so, there was a time when they didn't declare this? That's much like declaring death to America. It's breakfast there. Have another bowl of hate. Do not question. Kill when not in adherance to the written and unwritten laws and rules according to the "religion". McLaughlin Group covered the Israel situation, but concluded nothing -- like anyone's point of view matters pragmaticly to those suffering it.

Clayton Bigsby; Black white supremicist
Moreover the shocking revaltion of his ethnicity, is the telling stupidity of generalized followers of anything. Blinded by preferred ignorance, drones follow tedious tasks for the goal of the hive-mentality.
In his, non-attempt to sound southern, Dave punctuates his Clayton Bigsby speech with, "white power" in an near-effeminant voice--perhaps not unintentional.
Who's the greater fool? The fool, or the fool who follows him? What's missing from the scene is Eninem and Pantera playing in the background--hate, rape, glory unto oneself -- hallmarks of sects.
Should Dave choose to retire, thanks Dave for all the laughs!

Shit her
even that would be painful. Look, can't you see it's the last act of a desperate exhibitionist?
I don't care if it's the last act of Henry the VIII, I'm leaving!
My suggestion is ... get backstage to be the prop person and make sure that she dies for art -- really, suffering and all. I don't like her and haven't liked her. She has been the face of Christianity, when it suited their purpose, now, she's doing a mock crucifiction. I'd suggest it be her last concert. Now, I'd do it on just principle -- in that I don't like her, but ...
now I'd be revered by Muslims, Jews, and Christians alike. I killed that -- thing, called Madonna.
I could even have either Robert England to jump onto stage to finish the act, or have a Hellraiser moment, when some super-graphic masochistic fatality. "We have such sights to show you!"
Better still, don't go and let the empty place pull in no money, leaving the "star" to fade away.

He is, by far, either in league with the most earnest people, or he, himself is so earnest. For this man, I always cast my vote. Mike Ripley, Indiana house 79. I may not be the most credible source for voting tips, but he's reliable.

interview short
The ramshackle place -- okay, roughly assembled place is next to a cemetary. Their external signs are absent and it's in a poorer section of town. Surprising, I see big names (in semi-expensive) signs along the wall. The reek of new carpet abounds in the place. My interview was short; likely depicting my chances of obtaining my job preference (if any job) with that company. The store next to them sold headstones -- for the resting place of dead-end jobs and job attempts.
It was, however, an interview.

Rick James after the slap
"Cocaine's a hell of a drug", Rick James confesses. If you ever want a reason not to do cocaine, watch Charlie Murphy true Hollywood storeis from Dave Chappelle. Candid display of degraded intellect from drug use.
....
In this scene, he was flying high, but generally happy. I'd like to think that if I iwere bartending, that I would, not be high-but exceeding happy mostly. Having to finally deal with the fifraf that came and stayed would weigh down on me. Ultimately, I would either surrender to alcohol or much more wisely, quit.

As bad as it gets?
Renaissance actor Hugh Jackman proves he's more than just a pretty face (or a superhero, for that matter) in this impressive turn as Curly in the National Theatre's production of Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Oklahoma!" Jackman, accompanied by acclaimed thespians Maureen Lipman, Josefina Gabrielle and Shuler Hensley, sings the show's best hits, including "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning," "The Surrey with the Fringe on Top" and the title song.
I think that's as bright of an idea as casting Billy Crystal as the president in West Wing or Ellen Degeneres in Vanessa Williams: Untold Miss America story.

if it is 1 KB or less -- kill it
Magic numbers are 2, 14, 26 KB. I kid you not. I was looking for trend and that is it! What is magical about the email size is a mystery, only that these numbers are generally the spam email sizes.

Tar & Feather him!
In this nation's history, there were calls to "tar and father him", which in the 19th (1800's) they sometimes did. More often, a crowd woutd act on the unwelcome guest and usher the guy out, doing a reverse crowd jump. Too many of these and you'd not be running for anything, the concept is understood.
Old slapstick, '30s. A one-of-a-kind pair. Another comparable pair were Jack Lemon and Walter Mathou. One dying six months after the other.
...
Back to tarring and feathering. There is much of congress and senate that would do well with tar and feathers, then run out of town like free-range chickens.

shoe shopping
I'm not that picky, except being able to walk through hallways and aisles without having to pardon myself through thick traffic . When I use the term "thick", I mean not only too many people, but thick and dense people. There were two thick persons in the way of shoe shopping.
They were non-too smart or gracious -- thick, and wore, probably 42" waist pants; thick! They were loud, and I was happy that when I shop -- I'm mission based, in that I have a plan, goal and I achieve that goal.
The "new shoe" smell will go away with greater use of them. peww!

I did a few marathon job listings readings. Now ... I read the "newest" and find 6 postings per day. If only I trained in medicine; pharmacology or nursing, I would never worry about find a job, but I might not like where I was. Anyway ... it's now simpler to read them. There so many for which I applied and others that have requirements that I don't have. Like an empty gun ... jobsearch engines depleted aren't a good thing.

stomach discourteous
I either had Mount St. Helens or jiffy pop popcorn in my gut last night. Stress is surely going to put holes in my stomach. Hagis cheese. I had really bad stomach-aching stress another time, to where I crumpled to the floor in fetal position, at a job a long time ago (will not be named). The doctor gave me tagamet, which helped, but removing stress -- far better than medicine in and of itself.

Chucky 2
"Uh, no. You see, it's just in..."
"Well, Eye-on-Video got it!"
---
What is a Chucky 2? The above was an exchange about Chucky 2 with an urbanite. Chucky 2, Child's Play 2, was just then in the theater and this fool came in asking for it, pleasantries aside. I remember this because of I-am-bored.com's posting of Chad Vader 2: Day-shift Manager.
I believe the three of us, directed her to go to Eye-On-Video to get the bloody thing if they had it. Ah, I remember having to deal with many urbanites, with whom I would naturally not come into contact. It was like a nature excursion into the rain forests. "Wow! You don't see that every day! Golly, look that that one! This one must be a newer species."
If you haven't ever worked in retail or service in an urban area, you won't have any idea about what I'm typing, but it's real and not imagined.
I experienced live, open diaper changing, child abuse (physical), theft, drug dealers, "pimps", Appalachian peoples, and some persons so urban, that the concept of personal property was beyond their intellect. In reflection, I'd say that the job was enlightening, but I should have opted for the shorter course. I could say that the same for my relationship with who is now my ex. Had I not been at that place, I never would have met her. It wasn't a bad learning course ... just too long and the stupidity of her, rubbed onto me.
I saw Clerks, but won't see Clerks II, despite its relevancy to my previous jobs. I found the Randy character worthy of a slow, hate-crimes dragging death, but it wasn't forthcoming. It was intentionally disturbing and I found it ... well, not really my type of movie. I watched it twice and quote bits here and there, but I cannot recommend it in good conscience.
I therefore won't see Clerks II or any more Chucky movies -- each worse than the last. Gracious ... you'd think that some people would jump ship, but getting into acting in difficult, so you take your lumps with B, C, D, and F movies first. In thinking about it ... Tim Burton should take over directing the Child's Play series, trying to make a run equal with Land Before Time and Friday the 13th. You might not think they are similar, but really ... each one worse than the previous ... only fillers for those incapaable of escaping the stick figure 4 page comic book.

shuttle launch
How many people could buy their way onto TV ... few. How many can have their simple little video go from obscurity on googlevideo or YouTube to instant net celebrity status? Many more can.
Many animators rely on the net to show off their talents and to find others to assist them. Still others have found study work from Atom Films or net studios.
There's flickr - repository for pictures to share with others -- nothing to download, unless you want to bulk upload pictures.

Luck and luck only
I believe Carl Sagen was referring to applications when he said, "millions of billions of stars in the galxay." I'm sure that there are trillions of resume's for any job, but after submitting a hundred-thousand, you'd think that skill would be involved, but no -- mostly luck. So far, I have recieved confirmation that a place or person got my application and resume' and might get back with me after they read the other millions and conduct interviews with the top ten before moving on to the lessers (I'm in this category) aka bottom 90. Chin up, keep applying and die, die again.

How to get a lifetime supply of address labels
almost passe now, except for a few instances ncessary with snail mail: find one or two great charities with which you agree. Donate as often as you wish and can. They will nicely send you mailers almost weekly asking for more money, including address labels. The labels don't sop there. Your name now goes on the "this person donates" list. You will now get requests from all types of organizations, some or many of which you may not directly agree. Most charities are honest, but a few need -- refocussing. To others, I outright refuse to donate.
PETA gets a bad rap from a few lunatics, but honestly, their attempts to make a better existence for cows marginally smarter than worms (only responding to stimuli) is perhaps -- too large an expenditure of meager funding. If persons were really interseted in the ethical treatment of all animals, they wouldn't squash or kill bugs and would open their doors to roaches. If they were to stop their passion at insects and micro-organisms, then why give a care about the slaughter of rare species. I'll end there.
It is important to research a group to find where funding goes. Many larger organizations print it in the packets, but .. who's to say that the data is recent and valid? Quickly checking takes less than an hour, which is better than stupidly giving money to say, two scammers claiming donations to cancer research. Their scheme, finally exposed bilked hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars to these guys. They did, indeed donate proceeds to charity, but at at 10 or so percent. The rest they kept.
I have more than I will ever use, as I tend to stay away from snail mail, but do send in checks to places. Once my finances are improved -- goodbye snail mail forever.

Stars crazy
Star Wars lego video and New Hope, crazy Star Wars kid version (disco music free of charge).
Neither are hilarious, but both will serve you well.
