His Youtube Video
Commentary
I just wanted to thank you for giving that commentary. What a way
to dress down a president than to use a good ole fashioned cut throat argument which you supported
like a bullet. My suggestion to you is to seriously look into Ron Paul. My guess is you are a
Democrat, but he is one of the only men, and the strongest candidate to run on an honest ticket, who
by trade runs transparent on everything he does. His voting record is a mirrored reflection on his
dedication to the constitution and as you are always lambasting the president for overlooking his
job to uphold the constitution; all other candidates are status quo with horse blinders as their
advisers tell them everything. Exceptions exist. Dennis Kucinich, who actually relies on his own
brain and on that of which he reads. He is truly connected with the world and the internet as he
doesn't brush everything off as a conspiracy. Let those who speak the truth and those who will
uphold all that this great country has to offer that of which is the constitution be our leaders.
Not the jock in highschool who rewards loyalty over morality and principle.
Ranting : Questions about Government.

I have just finished watching a episode of PBS's "Frontline" called "When Kids get Life" Aired on
05/08/2007, and I was appalled. From what I've been reading about the state of our country for at
least the last 20 years, virtually nothing when it comes to the judiciary branch or the legislative
branch has done anything that would be deemed as fair or humane. How is it that we live in the
supposed most modern society, most humane society on the planet and we treat juveniles with the same
disdain we treat hardened criminals. Why is it that politics are so dense and hard to weave through
that when it comes to getting help to individuals--which is supposed to be afforded--is non-existent
until a crime is committed? Do our politicians have a grasp on reality? Do they know--or the big
question--do they care; has anyone--if you even read this blog--know of any instant where you
believed what has happened--in the government[politics/law making]--ever helped anybody who was part
of a larger group of disadvantaged people without the intervention of non-government
assistance?
I see this episode and I don't just think of the injustices that
happen in our judicial branch, but I also look at how the politics of our society are interwoven. A
major portion of why these boys, many of whom were prosecuted near or around the columbine incident
garnered so much time was because the media tainted the jury pools when it came down to deciding the
fates of these people--who were teens at the time. Has our society lost all faith in children,
teenagers, and young adults?

Ranting : Life and Its' Cookies, Some Burnt, and Some Chewy

So, where to begin, well, first off, I'm still alive; now that is out of the way, I've done
unexpectedly well on my calculus test this past Monday--in no way in hell did I think I'd do decent.
I've received as a gift you might say a 20.1 inch Dell LCD monitor, I purchased myself a new
Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Keyboard 4000, which I absolutely love to death--anyone who can type
knows just how much a new comfortable keyboard can do to your life. Found out my cat Sophie is
probably going to die; I guess that is what happens when you're a cat of 15 yrs old and you develop
breast cancer--feline form. Got our cat Buffy shaved after not havening had her shaved for almost 4
yrs, which was really outrageous on our part. Sorry buff, but at least your now shaved, by the way,
buff is 17 yrs old--chuckles. Also had this chick in my calculus II class tell me that she thinks I
look better with a shaved head than I do with hair, which wasn't much of a surprise to me, besides,
I hate having hair; did I mention the female who told me this was incredibly sexy with the body of a
dancer. Oh, I forgot to mention that I also got a new Logitech g5 laser mouse.
Now that I've finished gloating, the more interesting part comes. All that other stuff I wrote
about, mostly material possessions I received in part because my dad is pretty much back in the real
estate business--I won't say to what depth, but so far so good. So now that we have some money, we
have started to rectify some problems that we have had for a long while, part of which being the
fact that we have not had any central air--conditioning/heating for almost 3 years. We have taken
steps to fix this problem and hopefully we can use the A/C or Heater when it is so needed; also the
fact that neither I nor my brother possesses a driver's license due to the fact that only having one
car in the family for a long period of time would only dictate that a single individual with a good
driving record use it--that being my father, mother is going blind and has an amputated right leg.
Due to past circumstances, we did not have a license, but now, and most likely we will learn during
the summer break--hopefully. This should void much of or problems of transportation since we will
attempt to obtain a new car.
P.S. My cat Sandy
kept me company while I wrote this little unorganized assortment of summarization.
Ranting : I love these quotes

He who asks is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask remains a fool
forever.
He who is ashamed of asking is ashamed of
learning.

Ranting : A Ranting Correction
Posted by Compubomb On Dec 20, 2005 @ 11:22 pm | Visited ( 223 )
Lily states:
Existentialism isn't "taking
one day at a time" It is the idea that humans can only be understood through their experienced
individual reality as opposed to science or psychology or any other scientific means. It stresses
the fact that you are master of your universe and ultimately the responsibility for your life is
yours, and that your actions and decisions are the only ones that can truly effect who you are, and
that you alone create any meaning in your life. It is not about not seeing the big picture. It is
about taking responsibility for your actions and their consequences and creating your own big
picture.
I guess I stand corrected about the meaning of Existentialism. I guess
the meaning of existentialism can be interpreted differently; the definition I received was one of a
different meaning. Either way, I just mis-labeled what I wanted to say, I was more trying to I just
convey a philosophy to some extent and how it did not co inside with my idea of what reality exerts
on the human psyche. The philosophy goes something like this: Take life one day at a time for each
day you live could be your last, enjoy each moment as though it were your last. Take life 1 stride
at a time, anger and frustration require too much energy and thus are useless emotions--this is by
no means exact or quoting the original philosophy.
Ranting : Existentialism Holds Lethality Towards Education
Posted by Compubomb On Dec 10, 2005 @ 4:37 am | Visited ( 221 )
The assumption that one must live life one day at a time in my Honest and most humble opinion is
quite the contrary. It would seem those who hold such assumptions to be true have a lack of
experience towards human affect and to how an individual holds priorities in their life. To me, I
can only look at living one day at a time if I lived in a vacuum; however, I don't live in a vacuum
and life holds it's conditions and in order to live your life one day at a time, you must plan for
all possible conditions which is really just impossible to do--Murphy's law states that if something
can go wrong, it inevitably will go wrong. Living one day at a time to me states that I have an
unlimited ability to say I can procrastinate as much as I like, as to spite the idea of planning
life, to live as existentially as possible. But the inherent flaw in existentialism is that it
conforms to no boundaries as long as you satisfy your appetite.
Ranting : Hypocritical Vanity Opinion

What the hell is with women who pluck their eye brows ? I for one find it disgustingly disturbing to
see a hot chick draw her brow line; why can women not look more natural these days. Granted, I at
one point was somewhat a fan of breast implants, but I've grown to be more interested in women who
are completely natural, then again, sometimes they could use a boost--if you know what I mean. When
I say natural, I'm not saying they can be a obese Java the hut, but rather all that truly matters is
the face. Anyways, that's just my worthless two bad pennies.
