The UN says the US uses the death penalty disproportionately.

Fuck You, UN.

We kill because we care. Seriously.

We care about the sanctity of life in the United States, but we recognize when a wicked person should no longer live. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Anyone who kills someone for any reason other than self-defense should be put to death. Anyone who rapes someone, man or woman, should be put to death. Anyone who sexually molests a youngster, male or female, should be put to death. That is all.

Absentee blogger.

Sorry about that, guys. I haven't been around in a few days, as I've just started working my new job, and I'm still getting the lay of the land. I'm not about a mile down the road from my old stomping grounds, on a borrowed laptop, waiting to get mine.

The nice thing about starting a new job is that you essentially get a week or two of respite to just veg, where you have pretty much ZERO responsibility. The bad part, is that you have to actually learn your new job and all the systems that are associated with it, then start doing the job. Those couple weeks are great, though.

I ended up having to join a union, which, I'll admit, is both bogus and sad. (Points if you can guess the movie...) The Association of Scientists and Professional Engineering Personnel is a Lockheed Martin MS2 only "union" that, from what I've gathered, does not operate like a normal union. I get all kinds of crazy perks from being union, and they don't strike or bitch about stupid stuff like normal blue-collar unions do...its only costing me like $6/week, anyway. From their literature, 92% of all the engineers and scientists at MS2 are members...I guess I'm just going with the crowd.

Seamus is doing well...I went to a training class last night to get some information, and ended up enrolling. Its just a basic puppy manners and behaviors class, and it lasts six weeks. Our first real class is next Thursday at 7 PM, so I'll be sure to have some pictures. After I got out of the class, the skies opened up, and you'd have thought that you'd be struck by lightning, just cause. The sky was lit up like the the Fourth of July. Seamus didn't cry once. He's such a good dog.

Live local music.

Meghan and I went to see a band my buddy Rick is playing with, called Quick Step John. They're a slower, softer rock band, very much the opposite of what I normally listen to. Not that that's a bad thing, really. These guys were very, very talented. The sound and light show that they have set up is absolutely amazing. Their music is pretty mellow, with somewhat of a U2 vibe. The weird part of the band is that there are really only two members. My buddy Rick is playing drums for them, but the "main" members, I would guess, are a guitarist/singer and a keyboardist. When they do live shows, much of the backing band is pre-recorded, so when you hear the bass guitar, you're really hearing something that was laid down in a studio. Pretty nifty, if you ask me. They also have layers upon layers of guitar harmonies and such.

The first band that played last night was called Overlook, and they were a light, Oasis/Radiohead type band. These guys were also extremely talented. I wasn't too impressed by their music, but that's just because, as I said, I don't listen to soft rock. A good rock show for me involves tons of distortion, amps turned up to 11, and hopefully, if I'm lucky, a set of bagpipes. Anywhoooo...

The second band was called Pawnshop Roses, I think. These guys were cool! They reminded me a lot of a Black Crowes/Rolling Stones/Tom Petty mix with some Stevie Ray Vaughn thrown in to taste. The guitar work that these guys did was just amazing. Great rhythm riffs and awesome solos. And dude, the singer had mutton chops. That's just plain cool.

The show was at the Grape Street Pub in Manayunk, PA, and was hosted by WMMR, a kick ass Philadelphia rock station. We had a great time, but I'm definitely paying for it this morning. I am tired as hell! Daddy needs some sleep!

New job.

My new job is starting on Monday. I'll be moving down the road a bit, over to Lockheed's "Main Plant" to start the database administrator job. I'm very excited but very nervous.

See, at this point, I've been in my current position for 53 weeks. While I was waiting for my security clearance, I had to sit in a crappy cube in a crappy building for two weeks, doing abso-fucking-lutely nothing. Once I finally got my clearance, they brought me over here, a secure building, and I started to learn the ropes. It took me three weeks just to know where half the equipment in this place is, and it took me six months to get a good grip on how the combat systems function. Now, a year later, I'm finally comfortable in my job. I'm at the point now that when someone makes a mistake, I can tell them so. Further, when someone really fucks something up, I can finally come down on them and give them some shit.

Sure, I'll never have the technical aptitude about these systems that BD has, since that guy has been working on this shit forever. He and a few other people were instrumental in making me feel comfortable in this building, and getting me the knowledge I needed to do my job. So I thank them at this point. Its been great working with you all, and if I can ever repay the debt, let me know. I'll buy the first round.

Its going to be weird...when I go to work on Monday, I'll be in training, and then all of a sudden, I'll have new responsibilities...new things to learn...new people to meet...new friendships to make. But, I'm really going to miss this place. Its so unique, in the sense that there are only like five such places on the entire freakin' EARTH! I'll still be working with some of the engineers here, but in a much removed role.

Its all for the better, though. I won't have to work silly ass shifts anymore...better pay...better benefits...better track for advancement. Yeah, this will work nicely.

Meme.

I stole this from LL...figured I'd give anyone who reads this a better insight into what makes me tick.

What is something that makes you ANGRY?
I hate it when you train someone on something, and they keep telling you the understand what they've been told, over and over again, but they just won't do their job correctly. Not something I've had to deal with at my current job, but in past jobs...let's just say its been a problem.

I'd like to be a director or VP at some point, but owning my own business would be fly as hell.

State an INTERESTING fact about yourself.
I've had two hernia surgeries. Shaving your pubes really sucks.

What is your favorite piece of JEWELRY?
My cheap silver ring that my fiancee gave me, like seven years ago. Its being retired this November in favor of a tungsten carbide wedding ring.

KARAOKE: love it or hate it?

What experience felt like complete TORTURE?

NYTimes. Fucked.

On a more serious note (not that Chuck Norris facts aren't serious), the NYTimes look to be totally fucked these days. They're losing ground faster than Roseanne Barr in a foot race. For years, the internet has allowed people to access the news THEY want to see, not what the mainstream media (msm) wants them to see. People have used this power to cut through the crap and see the real news, much of it, broken by bloggers, and covered with my better accuracy, I might add.

Unfortunately for the NYTimes, LA Times, etc, they haven't gotten the fact that people don't want to read the bullshit articles about it being evil to be an American. They don't want to read about Maureen Dowd's clitoris. People want news, they want it accurate, they want it unbiased, and they want it now.

Bear in mind, the NYTimes website offers a lot, but its a subscription site. Although its free, you have to log in to view articles. What the fuck is up with that? Why would I log in and view the NYT when I can just hit up Foxnews, CNN, MSNBC, or about a thousand different news organizations? Now, I'm not here saying that CNN or MSNBC are on par with Foxnews. That's just ludicrous. In fact, they're losing readership faster Bill Clinton could eat a smoked sausage sandwich. And Foxnews isn't perfect, mind you. Most of their hosts present the news, then they have a lib and a conservative battle it out for a few minutes, usually giving some sort of preference to the conservative. The point, though, is that Foxnews actually presents news as what it is...news...facts...CNN, the NYTimes, etc al, tend to present the author or anchor's opinion on the situation, as fact...as news. This, my friends, is wrong, and is why the msm keeps losing viewers and readers.

Back to the point, the NYTimes announced yesterday that they were going to close a press plant in Edison, NJ, up near where I used to live. My father is a pressman for the Asbury Park Press, a Gannet newspaper, really just another piece of shite news organization, and while talking to him about it yesterday, he mentioned that the facility they're closing was only opened in 2002, and to buy the building, the presses, and actually get it operational, was probably somewhere in the neighborhood of $30-50 million. Not only that, but the NYTimes announced that they're shrinking the size of their newspaper by 5%, to cut costs. Where will they be in 5 years if they don't stop pandering to the liberal elite and start addressing the concerns of mainstream America?

Chuck Norris once ate three 72 oz. steaks in one hour. He spent the first 45 minutes having sex with his waitress.

Filming on location for Walker: Texas Ranger, Chuck Norris brought a stillborn baby lamb back to life by giving it a prolonged beard rub. Shortly after the farm animal sprang back to life and a crowd had gathered, Chuck Norris roundhouse kicked the animal, breaking its neck, to remind the crew once more that Chuck giveth, and the good Chuck, he taketh away.

When Chuck Norris was in middle school, his English teacher assigned an essay: "What is Courage?" Chuck Norris received an "A+" for writing only the words "Chuck Norris" and promptly turning in the paper.

All women love Chuck Norris because the mere thought of his beard creates an explosion of desire and passion in their vaginas.

Chuck Norris circumcised himself. At birth. With his bare hands.

The quickest way to a man's heart is with Chuck Norris's fist.

After much debate, President Truman decided to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima rather than the alternative of sending Chuck Norris. His reasoning? It was more "humane".

Chuck Norris found out about Conan O'Brien's lever that shows clips from "Walker: Texas Ranger" and is working on a way to make it show clips of Norris having sex with Conan's wife.

It was once believed that Chuck Norris actually lost a fight to a pirate, but that is a lie, created by Chuck Norris himself to lure more pirates to him. Pirates never were very smart.

Chuck Norris was the fourth Wiseman. He brought baby Jesus the gift of "beard." Jesus wore it proudly to his dying day. The other wisemen, jealous of Jesus' obvious gift favoritism, used their combined influence to have chuck omitted from the Bible. Shortly after all three died of roundhouse kick related deaths.

Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter he grew a beard.

Chuck Norris is not hung like a horse... Horses are hung like Chuck Norris.

Chuck Norris appeared in the "Street Fighter II" video game, but was removed by Beta Testers because every button caused him to do a roundhouse kick. When asked about this "glitch," Norris replied, "That's no glitch."

When Chuck Norris sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, crouched and ready to attack. Chuck Norris has not had to pay taxes ever.

Chuck Norris owns the greatest poker face of all time. It helped him win the 1983 World Series of Pokerdespite him holding just a joker, a get out of jail free Monopoly card, a 2 of clubs, 7 of spades, and a green #4 card from the game UNO.

Chuck Norris doesn't understand why you should consult your doctor if you have an erection that lasts for more than 4 hours. His erections have been known to last for up to 15 days.

Blogging at work.

I was over at Lil' Toni's site earlier, watching the three videos she had posted of Acidman's interview on his local Fox affiliate, about being forced into early retirement because he posted some things about a coworker on his blog.

It got me to thinking...I've said some things on here about people I work with...maybe a few I shouldn't have. Should I now, knowing what I saw in those videos, go back and erase or edit what I said months ago? I'm not sure.

It begs the question of whether or not what you write on the internet is truely anonymous. I mean, everyone on the internet is logged in some way. IP addresses can easily trace a physical computer, and if you know anything about the TCP/IP stack and how the internet works, you truely understand that nothing, and I mean nothing is ever really anonymous. Even with IP spoofing programs, there's always a way to track IP addresses and determine what someone's real address is. From there, its a very short hop to determine where they are located. But I digress.

The point of my post is whether or not I should, or anyone should, worry about what they post on he internet. Sure, its written and stored. There are copies of this on dozens of servers, probably on tape backups that will sit in a storage facility for years to come. Should anyone really be completely forthcoming on the internet? Do you really want someone to be able to bring up something you said ten years earlier?

Imagine this...Bane decides he wants to run for office. Let's just say he could get the funding to wage an effective campaign, and get the nod from whatever party he wanted. What would happen when someone read his blog and tied it to him? He'd be lambasted in the msm as a racist, homophobe, bigot, sexist, facist, etc, etc, etc. So why would someone put themselves out there like they do?

I mean, I know that I'm holding back when I write. I realize that something, somewhere, will come back to bite me in the ass. All I need is the wrong person reading this (not that anyone really does) and I'm up the proverbial creek.

Anyway, I really admire writers that can put themselves out there completely and not hold anything back. I hope that some of the people that do so don't end up being screwed by family and friends, like LL has, or by their company, like Acidman was.

Student loan repayment.

I can't stand dealing with student loan repayment people. I think they hire the few people who were too stupid to get a job at Walmart, stick them all in one call center, and smack them on the heads with canoe paddles all day long. They are just that damn retarded. And you have to deal with them after you've been on hold for twenty freaking minutes.

Weekend?

Crazy weekend, huh?

The Northeast US is embroiled (and I do mean broiled) in a heat wave. The last few days have been 90+. My trusty Firefox/weatherchannel.com applet is telling me that today is supposed to be 99, and tomorrow is supposed to be 98. I blame George W. Bush for global warming. Right...

The Israelis are really giving it to the Palestinians. To tell you the truth, I haven't been following this story closely, and have no idea WHY the shit hit the fan recently. All I know is that I hope Israel finally wipes the sand clean of these fuckers, then starts on Iran. We all know that if Israel goes after Iran, the US will be right behind them. Hell, maybe the French will even send a brigade or two, you know...just to make it look like they're doing something after Chirac came out with all his threats and promises over the Iran nukes. I doubt it, though.

The Mets hit two grand slam home runs in their game against the Cubs last night. Meg and I were watching Braveheart, and in between Seamus pee breaks, I would switch over to the game. At one point, there was no score. Then, it was 0-5, Cubs. Then 2-5, Cubs. Then, all of a sudden, 13-5, Mets. HOW DID THAT HAPPEN? A grand slam from Cliff Floyd, a grand slam from Carlos Beltran, a two run shot from David Wright, 40 minutes, and 70 pitches later, and the Mets have put up 11 runs in one inning, a new team record!

The Hooters CEO died this weekend...

Pete Coors, President of Coors Brewing Company, lost his license for drunk driving this last week. Funny, though, that Patrick Kennedy only got a year's probation and a $350 fine for his recent DUI/accident. Hmmm...I wonder if Mary Jo Kopechne would have anything to say about the Kennedys driving drunk?

Seamus got sick!

Yesterday afternoon, I had to take Seamus to the vet to get his next round of shots, which included his rabies vaccination and his third distemper. After his shots, he got a round of deworming medicine, and I gave him his next heartworm preventative pill. When we left, he and I went to my dad's house, which is near the vets, so that Seamus could play with my dad's boxer, Rocky. The two of them are the best of buds. Its gotten to the point that if my dad comes to my place and plays with Seamus, then goes home, Rocky won't leave him alone for like a half hour, because he smells Seamus on him. The two of them are inseparable when we're over there. Anywho.

Around 5:45, my fiancee got home, and I was cooking dinner...Seamus was acting like he normally does, saying hello, doing his stupid little dance near the front door when mommy comes home. Nothing out of the ordinary. 6:25 rolls around, and all of a sudden, he's very lethargic and totally uninterested in playing or even being petted. Weird. At the vets, they technician showed me how to hold him down to immobilize him, so that we can cut his nails. I went to show Meghan, and I hit his left hind leg, which made him scream. I look at him, and see that he has a knot the size of a golf ball in his thigh. I pull him towards me and touch the knot again, and he screams. So, being the good "father" that I am, I call the vet and ask them. I explain that he was in earlier, and now he has a huge lump in his thigh. They say to bring him in, and they'll look at it, then ask if he had shots when he was in. I say, why yes, he did!

The way to the vets was pretty uneventful. My driving was pretty typical, 20+ MPH over the speed limit, and taking corners like only an amateur road racer can do. Halfway through the trip, though, Seamus decided it was time to upchuck. I swear to everything that is Holy, that this dog threw up at least five times his body weight. IT. WAS. EVERYWHERE. Meghan's in the backseat with him, and thank the Lord we had a towel back there. She filled it. And didn't get it all.

We got him to the vet, and they took a look at him. Their diagnosis was that he had an allergic reaction to something called "Lepto" in one of the vaccines he was given earlier. They gave him a shot of benadryl and a shot of adrenaline, then gave us two medicines, benadryl and an anti-inflammatory, to give him for the next three days.

We was slow and tired last night, as they said he would be after the shots. This morning, he was wide awake and ready to play; completely back to his normal self. Unfortunately, one of the medicines he was given has a side-effect that causes him to drink and pee in insane amounts. Meghan said he had to follow him around constantly this morning because he was peeing so much.

Ah...the life of a pet owner. All told, $125 to put the shots in, $62 to repair the "damage," and a roll of paper towels to clean up the puke...

I am a hurt piece.

First and foremost, happy 4th of July, belated, of course. I was too busy lighting things on fire and searing the flesh of innocent cows yesterday afternoon to get on here and post properly.

Second, I had to move this weekend. I absolutely hate moving. Our lease is up on July 31st (in the old apartment) and we had found and awesome new condo to move into, so we moved. Unfortunately, we're paying for rent on two apartments this month, but this new one will save us significant money in the longer term.

Saturday was spent moving, all day. We picked the truck up around 7:30 AM, and it was dropped off at 5 PM. Much back breaking labor ensued during those hours, and it continued on into the night. I think we went bed around 10 or 11 that night, thoroughly exhausted. We bought new couches on Friday, and picked them up on Saturday morning. We didn't take them out of the plastic until yesterday evening, and lo and behold, one of them has a 1" rip in the "shoulder" of the couch. Man, am I pissed. Now, I have to try to deal with the store, who isn't a major retailer, more of a bargain basement type seller, who sometimes has very nice new pieces at cut prices. We'll see how that goes.

Sunday, we went up to a BBQ at my mom's house...drank lots of beer, ate lots of clams, hot dogs, mexican dip, kielbasa, did a few shots (who knew that black Sambuca was that tasty?) and generally just had a great time. The little Seamus went for a few swims in my mom's pool, and had a ball playing with all the kids.

Monday, we had to paint. Of course, this would have been easier, had we not moved all our crap into the new apartment. If I hate moving, I loathe painting. I'm terrible at it. Plain and simple. I can't apply an even coat for my life. Nuff' said.

Yesterday, we hit up my dad's house for ribs and clams. We brought 150 mahogany littleneck clams, which we promptly devoured, and we had some beer and margaritas. A good time on our nation's birthday. We fired off about a hundred bottlerockets, played with the dogs, got caught in the rain. Team Italy beat team Germany in the World Cup (which I admittedly don't watch...) The Mets came from behind to beat the Pirates.

It was a good day.
