Justifiable Riot

Attended my first and last Monster.com job fair today. The line was 2 hours long, and went around 32nd Street, around two corner of the blocks. About 500 people waited on line to get into the job fair only to find 5 companies being represented. The only company that even remotely match my interest was Afflact and BMC Associates. If my time was better spend elsewhere on my job search I would have been angry.

Actually I was glad because now I know that job fair are a scam and a waste of time. Glad I have never did this before.

So lesson for everyone. DON'T GO TO MONSTER.COM JOB FAIR.

Needs and wants.

I need a girlfriend. People never asked you if you have friend but even casual acquaintance keep on asking if I have a girlfriend and when I will have kids. I need a cover.

I want a friend.

I need someone to bounce my idea of.

I don't want to be in position where my boss are people from my generation. I hate my generation.

Self Identifying Much?

President Bush give a speech at Israeli Knesset on May 15 part of which send the Democrat and Obama in particularly into a tizzy. The part of the speech that they have a problem with is below.

There are good and decent people who cannot fathom the darkness in these men and try to explain away their words. It's natural, but it is deadly wrong. As witnesses to evil in the past, we carry a solemn responsibility to take these words seriously. Jews and Americans have seen the consequences of disregarding the words of leaders who espouse hatred. And that is a mistake the world must not repeat in the 21st century.

Some seem to believe that we should negotiate with the terrorists and radicals, as if some ingenious argument will persuade them they have been wrong all along. We have heard this foolish delusion before. As Nazi tanks crossed into Poland in 1939, an American senator declared: "Lord, if I could only have talked to Hitler, all this might have been avoided." We have an obligation to call this what it is -- the false comfort of appeasement, which has been repeatedly discredited by history. (Applause.)

Some people suggest if the United States would just break ties with Israel, all our problems in the Middle East would go away. This is a tired argument that buys into the propaganda of the enemies of peace, and America utterly rejects it. Israel's population may be just over 7 million. But when you confront terror and evil, you are 307 million strong, because the United States of America stands with you.

Democrat and Obama is taking that part of the speech as a direct attach against them. No, its a direct attack on cowards, traitors and appeasers....oop maybe it is a direct attack on all the Democrat stand for.

Things are Happening, I Just don't Feel like Caring.

Where should I start? Republican presidential candidate John McCain going green? Lady Clinton still clinging on with bloody claw to the Democratic primary...why do Clinton remind of Lady McBeth all of a sudden? Earthquake in China, and a natural disaster in Burma? I should feel sorry for the people in China and Burma, but really, I don't have the energy to find the compassion. China have a couple of trillions in USD in reserve let them buy the bulldozers for Caterpillar to dig their people out.

Do you know what the best way to judge of if our soldiers are beating the Islamic, Muslim Jihadists in Iraq? Do you know know that it is against government to attach Islamic, Muslim and Terrorists or Jihad in the same sentence or even in the same page? Turn to the news section of your local newspaper and see the obsence of any reporting. Apparently good news for America is bad news for the media.

BS

I would get this bumper sticker if I wasn't living in enemy territory aka NYC.

"The only difference between Obama and Osama is BS"

Hey, Still here

Still here. Still at my beautiful apartment whom only flaw is not allowing pets.

Job searches, what job searches? Aren't I on vacation? I need to get serious about finding another job, and finding a career. I am not working on finding a job at all. I am also not doing much of anything else which is a pity because it a perfect time to "find" myself. Why did all of a sudden I feel like backpacking through Europe? I don't even like Europe.

My eating habits is going to hell. There is no reason why I can't get in 3 square meals a day giving the fact that I am not working.

I have been spending a lot of time with my sister and her boyfriend running around getting things for her new apartment. My sister want to paint her who apartment her own color choice even thought the paints on the apartment are brand new.

The Ugly Faces of Islam

Fitna a short film by Geert Wilders.


Update:
Well that don't take long. Apparently Liveleak caved to the Islamists demands.

Gov Spitzer and Life Lesson

I am not at all out concern about the resignation of "our" governor yesterday. Gov. Spitzer resignation on the tail of a prostitution scandal is not the first, nor the last in the sleazy world of politic. The aspect of the revelation that is fascinating is how it come about.

The lesson that can be taken on this is the Fed will get you on the money aspect of the deal every time. Get a good money man if you don't want your activities trace.

NY State Governor and the 5k per hour Professional

Really, $5,000 for an hour. She better be real good. From the newspaper at least it not just normal sex.

I May Be Depress

Since I get back from my ski vacation last weekend, my sleep pattern have been aweful.

Monday Wake up at 11AM
Tuesday wake up at 3PM (sleep right through, not waking up)
Wednesday wake up at 10AM
Thursday wake up at 10:30AM.

Spend all week reading achieved from this blogger from California. Still reading it.

My plan to start a Job search offensive for this month get blow to shit.

Get figure out what I am going to do with my life.

Death and the shortness of life are on my mind lately because of a funeral I went to two weekend ago, and the news of the out of the blue death of my uncle (on my mother side.) He die in Ohio, just went to sleep at his friend's house and never get up. I don't know what he is doing in Ohio. He lived near my parent's house here in Brooklyn. My mother is arranging for his body to be fly back to NYC, and funeral by Saturday.

I don't understand why a fray man in his 60s would take a 18 hours bus ride to go to Ohio in the middle of the worst winter in decades. I planned on going when the weather get better. It can be healthy for an old man, weighting less then me, alternative between sitting on the bus, and at the bus stops(multiple bus transfer to Dayton)for 18 hours.

Well that all for now. I really should get to the gym at least just to say that I don't something to day beside sitting here reading up on someone else live.

I need a life.

Member of the Prospective Jurors

Spend a great Thursday last week fulfilling my duty as a citizen by being a prospective juror. The experience is better then the last time I was on jury duty. The only bad experience was the security check, x-ray scan, taking my belt off (and holding on to my pant so it won't fall off)and having my camera taken away for the day(which would not have been any problem except for no being in that particular building at the end of the day).

I reported to the same building as the last time four years ago, but the waiting area is not the decrepit bus depot like waiting area that I was familiar with. Instead it was a modern, very well lite auditorium, with roomy, cushioned seating for at least five hundreds, with 4 flat screen T.V. show the news, and a center podium like what one would find in a courtroom. After waiting in silence for 15 minutes, the gathered prospective jurors was given the run down, and shown the movie.

I brought a long a new book to read so the time passed by quickly. After a good 45 minutes of reading, someone else come to the podium, and give instruction on how to fill out the juror form. After handling in the required parts of the form, I went back to my book, warily taking my attention from the book to the names being called. I was afraid that I get so enthrall with my reading that missed my name being calls for jury assignment and that would defeat the whole showing up, and getting jury duty over with part of the whole day. The rule is if you do not go to your assign jury panel when your name is called you will be mark absence so you will have to do the whole think over again the next day.

My heart always beats faster in anticipation in role called. I don't see any reason why this would be the case. I supposed it all went back to my school day being terrified of being a call on the speak. I finally get called at about 10AM, but not to a jury empaneling room, instead about 60 of us gather in the back office. Our names get calls again to confirm that everyone show up, and then we were told that we will be going to another central jury area for cases that come up there. Like school children on a field trip we were leaded out of the building (where my camera is being held in custody)and across a couple of crowded Brooklyn midtown streets, to 320 Jay Street, Criminal court building. 320 Jay Street Court building is brand spanking new, all glass and stainless steel building. We were allowed to enter the building without the normal security scan otherwise it would have taken forever. The elevator area have LCD monitor show where are the cases and which court room (each court room also have a LCD monitor in front of it, who the case schedule for that particular courtroom).

Our waiting area is on the second floor. The waiting area is a bit smaller the the previous but no less modern. I find a comfortable seat in the back and went back to my book. About half an hour later, my name get called along with the rest of the group that come with me from the previous jury pool and we were lead to the 15 floor to wait. We were not send to a waiting room, but instead to a small seating area with benches at the end of the hall with a spectacular view of the bridges to Manhattan. There weren't enough seating for everyone so most people stand. I find a seat a bit further from the rest of the group and get back to my book. About 20 minutes later a court officer come out and gather us in front of courtroom door. The officer ducked into the courtroom's door a couple of time before we were finally let into the courtroom.

Most of the prospective furors were seated in the spectator gallery, excepted for 20 that end up seating on the jury box. The judge introduce us to the case, the prosecutors, the defense attorneys and a lists of witnesses just in case someone in the juror know anyone involve in the case. She also asked couple of general questions. One of the question she asked was if anyone would not be comfortable being on the jury due to the nature of the case. It was a sexual assault case. I was surprise that the a majority of people to go up the the judge to explain why they should be excused were men. I wondered what their excuses were. I decided it was better to site it out then to make up an excuse.

The twenty prospective jurors that seated jury box was asked to vacated their seats and stand on the side of the spectators gallery. The court officers then calls twenty prospective jury to take a jury seat numbered. The judge started off the questioning by asked every what they do for living, where they live, and if they are marry. After she asked all 20 jurors this, the prosecutor started her question with a hypothetic question.

I did not pay attention to any of it. I went back to my book somewhere at this point. We were let go for lunch in the middle of the defense attorney questioning.

I end up eating at Burger King. It was way crowded, and reminded me why I never like the area.

I get back early to beat the crowd at the security line. I hate having to take my belt off every time I goes through security. We were instructed to wait outside after lunch so I find a seat on one of the benches outside the courtroom, and get back to my book. After 20 minutes the same court officer as before come out and asked that the prospective juror that were in the juror box come in. We waited for another 15 minutes when the jurors that was in the jury box were send back down to the second floor, and were were asked to come into the court room, and seat ourselves in the spectator gallery. Another 20 prospective jurors was calls to fill the 20 seats on the jury box, and the questioning start again. I get back to my book.

At about 4PM, the rest of the prospective jurors that were still in the spectator gallery were send to wait outside. We don't know why were were send to wait outside but wait we did, while I get some more reading done. Everyone was surprise when the prospective jurors that were on the jury box left the courtroom. Some people were starting to wonder what was going on but still we all waited for the words that we were dismissed from the case. Someone finally asked that defense attorney leaving the courtroom if the jury selection process is over. Apparently she was surprise that were we still waiting outside. We were dismissed before but the order get mis-translated along the line.

We went to to central jury waiting room on the second floor. After waiting for 10 minutes two ladies come out from behind the stainless steel door on the side of the podium, and onto the podium, announcing that they will be handling out jury dismissal letter, A-H was to line up to the right, and i-m to the left. After all the names from A to M were called, they asked at everyone with the last name start with n to z line up on the left, like a fool I went to the right side of the podium. Turn out it wouldn't have matter anyway since my name wasn't called. It turn out about a 2 dozens other people on my jury pool that went to Part 11 case was not call. Those of us on line whose name were not called was told to take a seat again while the two ladies went back through the stainless steel door figured out who we are since we were not on they dismissal lists. The two ladies finally come out and told everyone on Part 11 juror pool to hand in out part C jury slips. Back through the door they went after collecting our slips. They come out 10 minutes later with our dismissal later, and thank us for our services.

At 4:30PM my jury duty was done, and I don't have to missed my two skiing trip this week.

I went back to Adam Street building to retrieve my camera. I don't want to have to take off my belt again to go through security but not such luck. I end up having to go through the hassle of security again just to get my camera back even thought it is only 10 feet away. I take my time putting my belt back on and make the cop wait.

All in all it was a good experience.

Kosovo Independence

The Balkan once again became a flash point in Europe. This weekend Kosovo declared itself independent of Serbia. More accurately, Kosovo officially declare itself independent of Serbia since it had been a protectorate of the UN since NATO air strike force Serbia to withdraw its forces out of the province in 1999.

Kosovo is a small part of a small country that spin off from an insignificant country call Yugoslavia. The situation in Yugoslavia was confusing when the country break up into small independent countries in the late 90's. One of the conflict was Kosovo, which had an ethnic Albanian Muslim population which is trying to breakaway to join bordering Albania in the south. The situation there get nasty, and public opinions forced Western nations to intervene on "humanitarian" ground. There is debated whether the charge of ethnic cleansing was exaggerated to force Western force (specially American) to intervene. I disagree with the intervention to stop the fighting between Serbian forces and Kosovo rebels regardless of the reason.

The conflict pitted Muslim Albania rebel against a Christian Orthodox Serbian forces from the rest of Serbia. Let the Muslim Albania and Orthodox Christian Serbia duke it out with Russian supporting the Serbia would undermine Russia credibility in the Middle East, and the continuing bloodshed on the back door of Europe would taken they superior moral attitude down a couple nudges. I preferred that we allowed the Serb to wipe of the Muslim Albanian in 1999. The failure of Europe and Russia to stop it as would a object lesson for Europe and the Middle East.

Unfortunately NATO succeed in forcing the withdrawal of Serbian forces, and putting the administration of the province under the UN. Nine years later, and the province is a complete mess. UN Troops (mostly US and NATO)are still in the province keeping the warring party from killing each other, and giving out handouts. Kosovo declaring independent is probably meaningless, since Kosovo depended entirely on Western aids, and military forces to maintain order.

The United States, and the EU supported Kosovo declaration of independent because it a natural conclusion to Western protectorate of the province. Some European countries also have false hope that this would end their commitment in Kosovo. The only bright spot in the whole meaningless drama is that it tick off Russia.

The Truth is not Worth Shits.

I make a mistake of being truthful on my weekly unemployment certification and it come back and bite me in the ass and won't let go. A word of advice for those filing for unemployment in NY State never put down on your employment certification that you were self-employed for 2 days while you are claiming unemployment for that week because then the motherfuckers at the unemployment will harass you to get you off unemployment insurance on top of docking you half of your what you are entitle to that for that week. Image my surprise when I look at my bank account the following week and see only $195 instead of the normal $385 I received the three previous week since I claimed unemployment. I thought that was the end of it.

I thought that its ok if I say that I was self employ on a consultant basis for my old job because it was for less then 2 day a week, and paid less then $400 dollar a week. I was so fucking wrong. The question that asked if you received more then $405 in income for that week is a trap, it do not mean that you can earn income as long as it less then that. You really can't say that you are self employ for any days of the week at all. So it is better to answer no for everything. Never tell the truth because it none of their fucking business unless you are fully employ.

I get a letter from those motherfucker asking me to fill out some shit so they can send it to my former employer so that they can confirmed that I should be on unemployment. I filled the piece of crap out and send it to my employers on the same enveloped that the motherfucker send it in. If it come back it come back because I am not send my fucking 41cent for their piece of crap.

I have been very lack luster in my job search to be true. I did not go to as many interview as I wanted. I just don't want to go back to what I am doing before, and I am waiting it out so I can do some traveling and see if I even want to stay in this democrat dominated city for another year.

Ending Up with the Worst of the Lot

My preferred presidential choices are below in order of preference.
1. John Bolten - Former US Ambassador to that rat hole called the UN. - Unfortunately not running.
2. Dick Cheney - Not running
3. Donald Rumsfeld - Not running
4. Ted Nugent - Not running
6. Michael Yoos - Also not running
7. Fred Thompson - Dropped out
8. Rudy Giuliani - Dropped out

Nowhere did I have the choose between Romney and McCain for the Republican nominations.

At this rate, I will have to vote for Ron Paul in the primary.

Update: So now it down to McCain and Huckabee. What a hell do Huckabee stand for anyway?

Could be my fault, I did not vote on Tuesday. I would have vote for Romney. Actually McCain take the NY by a very large margin, so my vote would probably mean swat.

Spectors of Traitors in Our Government

Nation Intelligent Estimates once used to be a briefing to the Presidents about world events and no one ever have to here about it. Now is a public spectacles, allowing pundits and congressional parasites to grand stand and undermine the President. The report contains information that the Iran may had ceased their nuclear weapons program in 2003. Apparently it take the geniuses in our so dependable intelligent agencies take 4 years to determined the possibility the Iranian ceased their weapon program that the Iran declare never to have in the first place. Concluded that the Iran must have change their mine about trying getting nuclear weapons again and their present rush to invest in nuclear fuel is purely peace full because the Iranian have never think of getting nuclear weapon.

The NIE do not explain why a country that is neglecting its oil industries, running an oil shortages but concentrates it research on achieving nuclear fission materials. Even if one were to suspense one's common sense and say that Iran desire nuclear material for energy, I do not see nuclear energy fueling their cars, and their homes. Uneconomically it make no sense to concentrate attaining nuclear energy when the most available energy resources are right under your feet.

If the NIE report can be trust, and that is a big if, it still do not change anything. Allowing Iran to have all the part to making a nuclear weapon and trust them not to put the parts and the knowledge into a nuclear weapons is like believing that declaring a school gun free zone would prevent any crazy with gun from killing defenseless people in say gun free zone.

Iran is a threat to American interest with or with out nuclear weapons. The founding statement of Iran was to destroy America, and the West. And most recently its president declared his intentions to wept a neighboring country, actively send agents to another to undermines it's nascent democracy. Allowing the Iranian ability to have nuclear weapon is a mortal threat to the world.

Unless the NIE also follow up with the termination of all scientists and researchers by our illustrious "secret" agencies, the NIE is empty propagandas originating for traitors in our intelligent agencies.
