My Weblog

So, today is a new day and I was finally hoping to have a day off from the election and the constant argument that goes alone with that living here in North Carolina.  Then, at 9:06am I receive this text message “RIP America 4 July 1776 - 4 Nov 2008″, I guess this is just the beginning uh???

For the next several months the new argument is going to be “I’m moving to Canada” well, I’m here to help.  Here is going to be everything you need to move to Canada, if I am missing anything let me know and I’ll correct my post and give you credit at the bottom of article.

Easiest thing to do is simply want to go to school in Canada.  It would seem that you can get a student visa pretty easily. In fact if you are under 22, and have a acceptance letter from any major college in Canada the student visa only cost $75!!!

Second, so you do something unusually for your income??? Find a job in Canada, if you and your future employer can proof reasonably that you are the only one qualified for that position then you can get a work visa for $150.  From what I gather however expect a full background check by the Canadian super police.

Third, Get married to a Canadian!! Now that sounds fun eh?? I actually though this would be the easiest, but from what I gather this proves to be the most difficult.  A quick Google search shows nightmare after nightmare that marriage is just the beginning.  Immigration policies seem to be in such a flux in Canada that no two agencies can agree on what is necessary with paperwork, money, and background checks, so prepared to do all of the above if you plan on getting married.

Lastly, and perhaps the most easiest and hypocritical is get a temporary visa for vacation purposes and just stay there illegally.  Canada isn’t known for there tight immigration reform so getting caught is unlikely.

I claim no responsibility for jail time, excessive fees, S.T.D.’s, lost wages, frostbite, lost dignity, obsession with maple leafs, or funny accents moving to Canada may cause.

As we sit on the Eve of History as Barack Obama has overwelmingly been announced the U.S.A.’s first black President we have lost in another battle, Proposition 8.

Most news outlets are reporting that most voters in Florida and Arizona have voted that marriage is diffined as a union between a man and a woman  While California is still to close to call the votes would indicate that California will agree with Florida and Arizona.

It would seem that America still has some work to do on discriminating against the Gay lifestyle, America is still bigoted.   Gay marriage is a battle that can not be won due to the overly religious nature of this great country.  Civil Unions can however but this movement needs help, not from Gay people, not from Democrats, and not from Republicans, i needs help from straight people.  It’s not until marriage stops being the term used for all unions between two people, meaning that marriage is a religious term created by Christianity, Catholic, and then the Jewish faith.  It’s not until traditional relationships that do not necessarily follow a specific faith create a new movement, a movement of Civil Unions.  Civil Unions needs to be a option for everyone without fear of discrimination of discrimination from the religious factions that pollute this nation.  When this happens and marriage is a term left to religion, while Civil Unions are left for everyone else Gay people will be allowed to connect legally.

With all the talk of the Gotcha Media I found this interesting.

Brandon Garcia, a 3rd grader from a Colerodo sent is a letter to Governor Sara Palin on a local NBC News staion and asked the question;

What does the Vice President do? and her response was;

[T]hey’re in charge of the U.S. Senate so if they want to they can really get in there with the senators and make a lot of good policy changes that will make life better for Brandon and his family and his classroom.

Now, for those of us that have forgotten the costitution let me remind you.

Here’s the village idiot answering a basic constitutional question.

In 1987 McCain was involved in a economic scandal during the last economic down turn.  This scandel cost the American Tax payer THREE BILLION dollars in 1987(which is roughly almost 6 billion today)

he Keating Five were five United States Senators accused of corruption in 1989, igniting a major political scandal as part of the larger Savings and Loan crisis of the late 1980s and early 1990s. The five senators, Alan Cranston (D-CA), Dennis DeConcini (D-AZ), John Glenn (D-OH), John McCain (R-AZ), and Donald W. Riegle (D-MI), were accused of improperly intervening in 1987 on behalf of Charles H. Keating, Jr., chairman of the Lincoln Savings and Loan Association, which was the target of a regulatory investigation by the Federal Home Loan Bank Board (FHLBB). The FHLBB subsequently backed off taking action against Lincoln.

Lincoln Savings and Loan collapsed in 1989, at a cost of over $3 billion to the federal government. Some 23,000 Lincoln bondholders were defrauded and many elderly investors lost their life savings. The substantial political contributions that Keating had made to each of the senators, totalling $1.3 million, attracted considerable public and media attention. After a lengthy investigation, the Senate Ethics Committee determined in 1991 that Alan Cranston, Dennis DeConcini, and Donald Riegle had substantially and improperly interfered with the FHLBB in its investigation of Lincoln Savings, with Cranston receiving a formal reprimand. Senators John Glenn and John McCain were cleared of having acted improperly but were criticized for having exercised “poor judgment”. From Wiki

With all the talk from McCain about Obama raising taxes, here is the reality; odds are 20 to 1 that your taxes will either be dropped, or stay the same.

Here is the Obama tax calculator, how much are you going to save?? We are saving almost two thousand dollars a year.

OK, I said I wasn’t reviewing anything, I farted. Besides, I’m lucky if anyone actually reads this.

When We Left Earth…..

I came across this little gem via a friend of mine who believes in little green men and thought I would enjoy this, he was right. I consider myself pretty well verse in the history of our space program over the decades but the amount of detail in this Documentary is astounding, I learned that I knew very little and I am only on episode one at the moment of writing.

One of the many things done differently is that it’s all in beautiful HD. Although it uses alot of old footage which obviously isn’t in HD but everything else is. Speaking of old footage I have never seen so much “new” footage, from the conversations at mission control, the Gemini 9’s successful space walks, failed jet pack rides, to the gruelling test they put the astronauts though.

Another is the length, Running it at six hours and while that alone doesn’t make it great it does allow for them to get of topic a bit and share some of the pukiness that they were experiencing. This kind of….detours makes for a very enjoyable ride.

But finally what makes this shine about all the rest is the personal interviews it shares with us. It has Buzz, Glenn, and nost of the still living astronauts of legends discussing how they were feeling at every giving moment. We find out that Buzz was a real bad ass never giving into fear, even when fear would have made any normal man fart himself silly. We hear from Mission control as they explain the technical things going on at base. Telling us that they never really knew what was going to happen and how they dealt with the surprise problems that happens. I think my favorite line was..”We forgot to add the Earth rotation into the equation” Dunno about you guys, but that sounds pretty important to me.

Anyway, that’s all I got, really am enjoying it I recommend it.

OK, So technically this isn’t my first fart, but as you will find out my counting is about as good as my spelling.

I struggled for a bit about what to put on this website. It wasn’t   until Netflix made there announcement(See Below) that I felt compelled to post anything at all.

Was it going to center around music??? I love music, all kinds to!! I like Rock, Blues, Reggae, Punk….Oh I Love Punk, Jazz even, not so crazy about country though…… But you know what?? I know shit about music, What would I say?? Um, this piece has a lovely fluid flow about it, note how the cords flow from one to the next… Yea right, I can’t even hear fucking STEREO!!!!! OK, so no music blog.

Movies!!! Yea, I like movies!! I can even be critical about them, I know what makes for good writing, I understand cinematography, I can even tell who is directing some movies without knowing who it is(Yea that didn’t make since). Oh wait…..If I start a Movie blog does that mean I hafta watch movies I don’t like??? Like….gasp…chick flicks!!!! Oh the humanity. Ok Scratch that.

OK, TV Shows??nah….same problem as movies…

Games!!! YES, I PLAY XBOX LIKE NO ONES BOSSINESS!!!!! There we go, I’l blog about games…….Oh wait a minute….games are $60 piece…I would hafta buy one for every review, every post…..OK, Rather have a house.

So, here I am with the funniest web name since www.jesusloveshookers.com and I got dick to write about….WAIT, THAT’S IT!!!! I”ll Write about myself!!! Sounds fascinating doesn’t it, well, that’s all I got, look for more soon.

Well, Netflix has finally done it.

They messed up!!!

As of Sept 1st of this year Netflix will be doing away with profiles which is the ability to create separate ques under one account.  In my min this is bad mojo as we use this feature each and every time we log on as well as others I am sure.   If you are a Netflix subscriber please do the following four things.

1) If you do not already have an extra profile set one up, if you share your account with a loved one they will have there own que and be able get movies one at a time while you receive two at a time(Or the other way around). This is a awesome feature and allows for me and Jamie to both get the movies we want.

2) Call Netflix!! It’s a 5 minute call at most and the lady I spoke to was super nice, even kept me on the phone while she logged my complaint (so they are logging it).  Be nice but be blunt, I told the her that Netflix was a awesome service that became even better when profiles were added, and that I was no longer forced to watch my wife’s boring ass chick flicks (sorry Jamie),I also told her that it was a great selling point when I was bragging to my friends about it, and finally I told her this was the first time I was unhappy with the service but if a competitor has a profiles equivalent I would consider switching services (OK, I lied there a little bit to her)

3) Please digg this article so more people can read it.

4) And this is most important, tell YOUR friends, the more people that take these steps the more likely we will keep the service we love.
