today my boss said to me "hear that donkey?"
me: "Yep"

him: "i love donkeys"

haah then neither of us said anything for a couple minutes. not sure if he realized how weird that statement is or what, but it had me laughing all day.

 Let me tell you what makes me pretty aggravated:

The US auto industry. They just got 25 billion dollars from the feds to rebuild and restructure because for the last 5 - 10 years they've ignored the trend of consumers to desire more gas efficient cars. Now, they are facing the situation (at least GM is immediately) where it's either file for bankruptcy, or get a bunch of tax payer money to save their companies.
Why should I have to pay to save a company whose policies I have opposed for a long time? This is a company that produces the 6mpg Hummer, and acts like the product is a responsible one to buy. A company who takes their manufacturing jobs out of the hands of Americans, and sends them overseas, so they can make a little more profit. I know that if the three big auto companies go bankrupt there are a lot of people who will be losing their jobs. I've also come to understand that if just one of the three big companies go under, the whole supply system of parts will get completely screwed up, and make it much more difficult for the rest of them to stay in business.
My reply: File for that chapter 11, you motherfuckers. Fire all of your shitty, old management team. Get rid of your CEO. Formulate a new, green,  business plan that Americans have been wanting you to have. Take the 25 billion dollars you've already been given, and use it to upgrade factories (in the US!). Stop producing hummers and cars like it! Focus on hybrids. Refocus on the electric cars (that you previously destroyed while in cohorts with the oil companies). Become a friend of the Americans again, instead of a shitty alternative to good companies like Toyota or Honda, that make cars that embody the desires of the consumers.
What you don't do: Take some of the 700 billion dollars we already are paying for the FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS. Are you a bank, GM? No, you just make shitty cars that break after 90,000 miles, and take you those 90.000 miles for twice as much money as a Honda. You don't deserve part of the 700 billion. You deserve to file for bankruptcy for being a shitty company with a shitty business plan. You make cars that nobody wants. Not my problem.
And don't get me wrong - I oppose the financial bailout plan as much as the next guy. But if we're going to be paying almost a trillion dollars to try and save that industry, I would like the money to go to THAT industry. Not to whatever sad saps who can't make a buck want it. If the financial system needs that much money, don't go giving that money away to the richest beggars in the world.
I don't think it's just me that is really tired of the bullshit. Every industry I see that's in trouble, I see a long line of bullshit that got them there. Whether it's making the completely wrong type of car, or giving out the too many of the wrong types of loans, or allowing every idiot to get a credit card he can't pay back, or shipping all your jobs to china..... I'm really tired of it. You did the wrong thing for Americans, and now all of us are paying for it. ALL OF US. That means the CEOs should pay for it too. In my opinion, they should pay the worst for it. They're the ones who engineered the bullshit.
If you can't take responsibility, or be held accountable for the decisions you make, go back to the third grade, and learn what it means to be a big boy. Don't pin your mistakes on my federal income tax.

Woke up in Silverdale. Worked for a few hours. Went to the harbor and loaded up the next store, and Griffin drove us down to Medford, OR. We are currently chilling in a hotel and have already enjoyed the hot tub and a shower. This is the first shower in a hotel I've had since we started doing this work. Probably going to disappear in New Zealand for awhile after this. Not really, but I'd like to go there asap. Later.

The second you were born your life was sold at wholesale to a system promising to provide endless food, shelter, entertainment, trust, and comfort.

SOMEONE SHOW ME THE DOTTED LINE.

If anyone had asked my permission, even at two minutes old I think I'd have chosen to be put back in the womb.

Fuck itttt. Drive cars, litter, eat animals, mass murder, sell your bodies, drink your brains to death, build nukes, and punch a thousand holes in the ozone. This planet will smile and flourish at the extinction of man.

Filth.

I'm coming to understand that the common man can't be blamed for all of the world's problems. I'm starting to learn compassion for the middle class family man, the misled college-bound young adult, and the other varieties of painfully normal human lives that I've spent my whole life blaming and hating. Capitalism is not the fault of the workers. Ignorance is not a natural product of a sheltered environment. These concepts are not created by those trapped within them. A worker is not a capitalist, but a slave and a victim to the standards imposed upon him or her.

These things can never be fought or undone. There is not a single hope for humanity. The very best and most sensible thing to do is put it out of your head and squeeze every last drunken moment of misguided enjoyment from the hopeless half-life in which we'll be forever forced to live.

Only in the destruction of our entire race will any of us be freed from these shackles. As we spiral toward oblivion we will spin and jerk as freely as a busted branch in a storm. That is as close as we'll ever be to the natural order of things.

i don't want to bail out gm.  i'd instead like the government to give a substantial stimulus package (or survival package) of cash and job promises to the domestic gm and gm-affiliated workers that would be impacted by gm's demise should (when) the company goes under.  in turn, the obama admin could establish mandates for all public businesses operating in the us to go green and rely more than ever before on solar energy and bio fuels (from food waste only - not existing food crops like corn), and set up solar technology and bio fuel processing plants in the cities and towns where gm operated and contracted from.

gm does not deserve a bailout.  they have placed a succession of irresponsible, incompetent, exuberantly paid executives in positions of company leadership, are notorious for generating subpar products, and in my opinion, are essentially a victim of their own poor business planning, greed, and lack of market competitiveness.

at the very least, american taxpayers should have the right to opt out of bailing out poorly managed companies that generate junk product after junk product, be it shit autos or predatory loans.  bail out the victims of these economic vampires instead, and make way for the green economy!

okay 3rd and possibly last post of the night.
Jennifer anniston is hot, so is Jessica alba. im gonna try so hard to make both of them my girlfreinds at some point in life. even if im like 30 and they are like 40 or 50.
its so worth it.

ehhh, come and get your looooooove.
that shits stupid. youre stupid. i know, trust me. YOU SHOULD TRUST ME.
cooooooome and get your loooooooooove.

also, sometime late last july i had nothing but my pack with some clothes, a bag of rice, and my sleeping bag. i was walking through the cascades with my thumb in the air. literally right outside of leavenworth. some guy that was driving a bug had jsut dropped me off. he shared a little bit of his hash with me, and i was spinnin a bit, but it felt really good.
my belly was full cus i had jsut stumbeled into the local burger place, with a big grin i couldnt peel off of my face.i ordered a rootbeer float with a hamburger. they tasted so good.
okay, so anyways. i was walking through the mountains on the highway. everywhere i looked beautiful giants of rocks towered over me, and there were huge trees dotted all over the hillside. i wanted so bad to walk down to the sandy river bank, and fall asleep next to a fire. i was all alone, but in a good way. granted, another person, a friend, or possibly a lover would of been nice to have, but the solitude made me feel like a real wild man.

its one of those things i will always remember. like a fool, i convinced myself i needed to keep heading home. so i kept walking, got two shitty rides to everett and slept on the bus stop. that sucked, wish i would slept on the river instead. between those enormous rocks. wish i was there now.

MMMHMMMM

Nothings getting better.

At least last night I was able to enjoy myself. Being a tiger at a 6 year old's birthday party and hanging with an old friend was nice.

Doing Kitsap Mall tonight/tomorrow and then hitting Oregon. I don't think we'll be coming home really for the next 4 days.

It's after 4am? I've been reading the watchmen since midnight. The Silk Spectre is such a hussy. Both of 'em!

Today I straightened Brandon's hair and it was hilarious. He looked like a cross between a member from Dressed to Kill and a gothic anime character.

My bed is uncomfortable. Weekends are boring.
