9:29 am	Writer's Block: War and peace Many countries require all citizens to fulfill a mandatory period of service in the armed forces. Do you agree or disagree with this policy? Do you think the current recruitment system creates or sustains socioeconomic inequality? First question listed was submitted by jeepgirl77. (Follow-up questions, if any, may have been added by LiveJournal.) View 609 Answers No thanks. I did my bit in the military, but I seem to remember a period in our history where we forced people to have jobs they didn't want, and it didn't work out too well... Seriously, though. Conscription smells a bit of slavery. (Comment on this)

9:00 pm	Screw the Olympics. I could not have been happier with the news that the Olympics would not be coming to the U.S. I dread every fourth year when I have to hear about more assholes running fast and falling gracefully into a pool. I don't give a good goddamn about this inconsequential shit, and when it's happening in the States people seem to go even more batshit over it. Fuck the Olympics right straight in their ear.

11:38 pm	I'm sick as hell. I've been suffering with shortness of breath, disorientation, headache, coughing and a whole host of other crap since Saturday afternoon. I hope it's swine flu... that would be a hell of a laugh. (Comment on this)

8:44 pm	Time to look for a new apartment. My air conditioner was disconnected on 6/15 so a new roof could be put on the building. I was given a temporary solution that didn't do much. Today my condenser was reconnected and worked great until about 5pm. I called the office and they put in a ticket for it, but I discovered that in Texas they have 8 freakin' days to fix it. It's 93F in here, and just shy of 9pm. Blah. Current Mood: pissed off (Comment on this)
12:22 am	Celebrity Deaths. I've been wondering all day who we'll be mourning in 20 years. My generation has contributed nothing to our culture but Dane Cook and Britteny Spears. We have nobody worth morning. (3 Comments |Comment on this)

12:11 pm	What the hell happened to the American intellect? I spend forty hours a week talking to people all across the country, guiding them through simple tasks related to their computers and televisions. Over the ten months I have been doing this I have discovered that we are well on our way to Mike Judge's "Idiocracy". Polysyllabic speech is foreign to a majority of my clients, simple instructions are impossibly difficult. Indeed, many are even illiterate. Americans are having the intelligence sucked from their skulls by popular culture, a woefully inept educational system, and their own laziness. Initialization: Can you pronounce this word? You are in the minority. One piece of equipment my customers routinely call about returns a “Client initialization error” when it is unable to load boot information from the network. The way this boot information is loaded from their LAN is not simple and I don't expect everyone to understand. I don't even expect everyone to know how to say this word without sounding it out. What I do expect is for those who have to sound it out to at least get all the bloody letters in there! In-till-ay-shun, ish-ul-shun and inish-uh-lay-shun are not even close for God's sake. Their ability to pronounce words is only slightly better than their ability to follow instructions. When I tell you to double click on “Network Connections”, for the love of God don't respond “I clicked 'Wireless Network Setup Wizard!'' When I break it down monosyllabic style for you and say “Look for the big, silver and black box with a bunch of green lights and the brand name '2Wire' on it.” don't come back and tell me you found the silver box that says “Motorola”. Okay, I think I'm finished venting. These morons are just driving me insane. Current Mood: aggravated (Comment on this)

12:34 am	I've long contended that we were fucked either way we voted in November, hence, my continued support for the Mario/Luigi ticket, but Obama's new campaign website is a superb example of auto fellatio. (Comment on this)
