Drowning in Noise
Go ahead. Stand up in a crowded theater and yell fire. I would be willing to bet nobody would notice, care, even look for it. Tonight’s topic is subliminals in ads. Most people have to really look. Still others think it’s all nonsense. I am confined mostly to the Discovery channel, RFD is excellent for the horse training and anything on the paranormal or Jessie Ventura’s very basics on “the Illuminati”/”conspiracy theory”.
The best way to make the internet irrelevant as a political force for “change” is to divide it up into billions of categorized small and thus meaningless audiences. Actually it’s far worse than that, it’s proven, scientifically tested and accepted. All one has to do is repeat the propaganda enough times as needed to create the Matrix. Yup, like the movie series.

Chutes Not Ladders
Yes, my job was outsourced to Mexico via China. I attempted to prolong my value to the company by trying to diamond machine prototype innovative energy saving ceramic parts using a cheap Chinese imported lathe which of course was permanently off center. Anyway.
I looking back searching for some lower position of relative importance, ie, a job I was excellent at having 22 years behind me doing what I did there are corporate obstacles in the way. Most of these “obsolete” jobs are either contract short term when they formerly were core paths to advancement from within. Contract works pays benefits not. The “agencies” doing the contract hiring speak English as a second language and might be located ten states away on top of the secret resume parsing/data mining auto-reject features based upon my age/my name on the AE911 truth petition/a minor traffic accident last year and or my avoidance of the medical surveillance system.
I don’t have the heart nor the stomach for scamming people via the mis-using the internet, I make stuff, build stuff. I am innovative, go beyond the mundane requirements of going through the motions and can recognize the atomic emission spectra of many contaminating species in five nines semi-conductor grade argon. I am not ugly. I don’t smell bad and I would actually show up on a regular basis. My real unmarketability I guess lies in the years of experience I do have and that dangerous potential to pass that wisdom on to co-workers. That former work ethic, that path towards innovative and not compliance type thinking, that Edward Tufte why Microshit sucks type of stuff.

Strike Anywhere Matches
Did you know the UN 1331 classifies them as a “dangerous” substance?

But not depleted uranium,cluster bombs, land mines, cruise missles or falling spy satellites.

Yellow Buses Before Labor Day?
In observing end of summer traditions what do I see? Brand new school buses? Before Labor Day?

Last of the Chlorine Tablets
I chucked the last two tablets of chlorine into the pool today. I have debated just draining it for the efficient destruction of my former suburban life but maybe the wife can enjoy one more Labor Day on the pool deck which does not have a fence around it, insurance liability risk aside. Wednesday is the lawyer meeting and new info on the destruction of my formerly suburban life will be, maybe forthcoming.

Forget Maine Then
Back to my CT specialities. I mean honestly isn’t this retarded mosque thing a manufactured product of lamestream media?

It is much like a decision everybody has to talk about simply because commercial media broke a story. The Gulf Oil spill is fading into the news background cycle much like the dreaded swine flu pandemic. Perhaps people are just on vacation. When we were coming home the traffic was heavy going north.

The Fireman Returns
My piece of shit tennant is suing me for giving him a five year break the rent of 750 a month in this 1200 per month market. Out of eight brothers only one of them in the entire family works, the rest sue people for disability injuries.
Alzheimers Dad is still incontintent but socio-Ma has a new boy friend in Richard, who I am totally convinced is only after Ma’s remaining money.
My right upper two back teeth are making grinding noises. Dad was about my age although he did have dental insurance when the doc pulled all of em. I also have this new weakness in my right arm I can’t explain and the tumor on my left leg has fortunately not increased in size.
The “good” news in these “interesting” times. Well the grandson’s all still love me and there is a fourth on the way. I will most certainly NOT be living in the same residence I was living in nor will I be able to be near and care for the ones I love most dearly.

The Quicken Loan Shuffle
Basically financial “reform” does not mean reform.
Not gone are 23.99% credit card rates and a whole range of other business practices I call “The Technologies of Satan”. These are high pressure sales techniques that are now being engrained into the culture itself.

Contractual Finactuals
Urban Myth or Truth in Finance?
In the ever increasing Orwellianisms of financial “reform” my daughter has pointed out that credit card “subscriptions” now morph and FIND another credit line owned by YOU to attach these monthly FEES to. So, getting rid of the credit card account does not mean getting rid of the FEE for services, products, software which you no longer want, need, can afford, especially at 23.99 APR.
Point two. Can one ask the bank for your own real and personal resonable credit limit?
How does one caution the Facebook generation on the evils of connecting the entire world to your own empty pocketbook?
Today from Lamesteam all the focus is on informercials for Idol.
I have yet to watch even a single episode, and plan to keep it that way!
