"We're Boned"
The title of the last entry ("Lab mice?!") is a reference to the latest book I'm reading,
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I changed it a little and I won't bother trying to explain too much as I don't want to give anything away. That first book is quite entertaining if you're into that sort of thing by the way. It's a very short book that only took about two days to finish. Now I'm part way through the second book in the series. Still quite entertaining. Now I just have to buy the remaining three and the collection will be complete.
Lately I've been feeling a little depressed. I feel like going into details though, not even to a hardly-if-at-all-read blog entry. I just really don't want to be in college any more. Which means I would like to get an appropriate certification like Network+ and/or MCSE to get a job. Which requires more college classes sure but at least it's with the immediate goal of not being in college any more. As opposed to spending a more time in college. Which is no longer what I desire. Now this scenario seems logical to me but not to any one else for some reason. See the easiest way to get a job is via the college. So I'll take a part time job via the college while I’m getting the MCSE then use that certification to get a real job at which point I can either take Saturday classes or whatever or just use keep the job full time forever. Alright so this means I won't be going to a university any time soon. I wasn't going to a university any time soon anyway. So this certification approach is my new goal hell or high water. I'm not nearly as optimistic or cheery as I was only a year ago. Now why that is I wouldn't know. Actually I do know but there's not a lot I can do about it until I get a job and make some amount of money. Which I hope will be soon.
About time I ended that rather pointless paragraph. I wonder if anyone would notice the difference between my last couple entries and the ones before that. I seem to be on some sort of slippery slide of despair and depression of some sort. Or perhaps it only feels that way. Well instead of turning a new leaf I'm just going to sulk and whine and feel sorry for myself until I feel differently. Maybe that won't work though. Ya think?
I do have some what a method to my whining though. My goal was actually to use this blog to practice writing to kind of hone my skills if you will. Then start a website that might actually have some number of visitors and put one of those Amazon affiliate links. Then maybe, in a year or two, I might actually be making money on via this website thanks to my writing skills. Well that's the theory anyway. I would use this blog for such a purpose but as mentioned several times I have no visitors what so ever.
Now I'd like to complain about politics. Because there aren't enough whiney idiots whining and complaining about politics despite obviously not knowing what they're talking about. Or something to that effect. I for some odd reason watched an episode of Hannity and Combs the other night on Fox News Channel despite knowing that usually no a very good idea. The problem, ya see, is that everybody is allowed to talk over everyone else producing a very anarchic, pointless experience of watching. Anyway there was this "Democratic Party Advisor" on as a guest which I think is a euphemism for something I'm not sure of. I think that means "highly paid human infomercial only TV to repeat the same few lines over and over and spin whatever is said by an opposing view into appearing to be a racist and/or bigot". If anyone doesn't know this is one of those Crossfire right wing/left wing debate type shows. The right wing half the show which was Oliver North this time around and he was talking about the combatants in Iraq who were killing troops during this latest war. Colonel North was simply pointing out that he was there as a reporter at the time and knows for certain some of the fire the soldiers were taking were in fact from "foreigners" who in all likelihood were either direct members of or in some way in associated with the terrorists. From this statement this advisor guy took that to mean North was saying all foreigners in the United States are some how terrorists. Now how is an official employee of a major political party allowed to get away with this? Am I the only one to see the two are not in any way connected to each other? Where do they dig these people up anyway? I mean I realize the job market is tight right now and all but give me a break. I guess this is what you get when you pay for a mouthpiece. And it's not like there's any doubt he's a bought a paid for mouthpiece either. But does he really believe what he is saying? Or is it simply to do and say what he's paid to do under all circumstances?
