"Economy, what'd happened?"
"Oh boy, you are in bad shape."
"Hell, you look like SH!T."
Banking systems failed. Auto industries suffered. Stock market crashed. Governments fetch out new plans to slow down the economy free-falling and ease the market pain. Corporate CEO's call for help from the government. Resources (let just say money) are pumped into private industries from the governments, and they even take the liabilities of these firms to ensure investors' confidences. This is happening to this government, which is the same country against Communist all along while it is practically adopting the principles of Communism. Irony huh?
I am not here to bash this country exercising socialistic ideologies (let just ease off on the "C" word here). As a matter of fact, I am definitely in support for the idea that governments shall be formed by the people and shall be for the people. In hard time like right now, I firmly believe the government is responsible for laying out new policies to help the ones in need. However, if it is only one thing this country has reputation for, it is the inability to follow through and complete the intended missions. As an example, remember all the wars?
If we are to help the economy recovered, let's get serious. First thing first - let's get rid of all worker unions - let's fire those donuts chuckers and caffeine inhalers don't have actual work, especially those work groups that have only one person working and fifteen others overseeing for safety and quality control. Just sick and tired of these lazy asses protected by the unions. Isn't the State running out of money and risking bankruptcy? I'm just irritated by these overpaid "supervisors" supervising each other.
I know, people will be crying fouls that without unions all workers will be exploited by the greedy rich. Okay, let me throw a proposal here - let's unify all worker unions into a single governing body. Oh, hey, wait a minute here - Didn't we already have something similar? Isn't it called the GOVERNMENT?!
Next, let's bust a tax cap on those mofluggers making millions a year but paying 15% tax. What is the justification of a person making billions in a year? It translates a salary of 19 dollars per minute. Technically speaking, these people are paid taking a dump. Their bowel even has a price tag on it! Meanwhile, there are people starving in the world and couldn't even get one full meal a day. This doesn't sound right at all!
Really, where does the money come from to pay off these billion dollar tycoons? In the current zero-sum society, the rich get all the doughs, while the poor lose their shirts, or even worse - underwear. Shouldn't these money collectors pay back to the society, regardless if they are willing or unwilling to do so? Isn't this government a self-proclaim humanitarian defender, yet we allow the well-to-do's to get loaded from the public poor? I don't think this is very humane at all, my friend.
Then, let's trim down the size of the government. What's up with all these bureaucracies happening in the government? The pretentiousness of these government officials rots the once plausible nation. These folks are holding a tight grip on their jobs, social status, and power by making jobs more complicated than ever. What's up with the ATF, NSA, FBI, US Marshals, Coast Guards, Secret Service, Marines, Army Corp, Navy, Air Force, CIA, you name it... There are so many of them to confuse the fuck out of us. Really, is ATF necessary? Do we really need a policing force to oversee alcohols, cigarettes, and firearms? Can't NSA and Secret Service be merged? And don't get me started with US Marshals and FBI...
And when the government bails out financial institutions by taking over their debts caused by the sub prime crisis, shouldn't the government own these real estates? These keep me pondering... Why can't the government use these lands/properties for low-incoming housing, retirement homes, or rehab centers? Isn't there a better way to deal with all the empty foreclosed houses? Oh why not build more prisons on these lands? Don't we have prison overcrowded issue in the U.S.? Didn't a study report that once every three people in this country has been/is in jail. Some of these prisoners are charged with use/possess of marijuana. Now I have a second thought - Can't we just legalize it so that the government is not wasting precious money to bust these stoners?
Well, after all, we are living in the united state of accusation.

Thoughts - Part II
My advice to a friend at the crossroad where he had to make a decision for his career:
Choosing a workplace is like picking a girlfriend. You DON'T go for supermodels. You are better off looking for that person who crazes about you more.
Here is my reasoning: The firms that all dream to work for are like supermodels (and they care less about you, what you think, and how you feel). On the other hand, the firms that are less famous, and less stuck-up are usually the ones who care about you, offer you more, and compensate you nicely. Who wants to be treated as a second class citizen, for real?

An Odd Year of Presidential Election
To me, this year presidential election is stranger than others. No, I don't mean the race of the presidential candidate. And no, it is not about the sex of the candidate either. What I have noticed is the correct pronunciation of both vice president candidates' names - Biden and Palin.
Thanks to the everyday TV coverage on the campaign. Otherwise, I would have embarrassed myself by pronouncing Biden sounding like bidet toilet or bidone and Palin to rhyme like pal of Stalin. Let's be honest, a vice president may not be the most influential person, but I surely would not prefer my running mate associated with a bowl washing asses, or Stalin if I were pursuing the presidency. On a second thought, Stalin might love hockey, might be as tough as a pitbull, but a bidet is more useful - as least it keeps my rear end nice and clean.

You know you are...
Collecting and complying from various conversation, observation, and reading, here is a checklist for "you know you are a Hipster" if...
1. You buy used clothes not because you can't afford new, and you spend 100 bucks on a vintage outfit;
2. You enjoy cruising on a single speed bike without helmet on a hilly city, e.g. San Fracisco;
3. You wear a jean that is way short so that everyone can see your socks a mile away, and your jean is usually tight enough to make you walk like a robot;
4. You pretend to love all the underground music that no one has even heard of. You are self-proclaim the No. 1 supporter for these bands and you can brag about the way you supported them when the band was unknown all day. Now, you hate them for getting famous and popular with a consistent fan base of 10 people. And with the 2nd CD out, you are feeling that their music direction deviates from the original;
5. You are learning a second language for the reason of impressing other by practicing it through ordering foods and correcting other's inaccurate pronunciation;
6. If you are not a potter, you can't be stoner. If you are not a stoner, you can't be a hipster;
7. Your body naturally move randomly whenever music is on, wherever you are, and whatever type of music is playing, yet everyone is making an attempt to understand your dance style with the music;
8. You must be a liberal, no, a super-dupper-hyper liberal. Occasionally, you are a vegetarian or vegan.

Thoughts
Just writing down a few thoughts on different subjects... most of them are probably not anything brand new...
--- Save the Social Security System ---
I am quite certain that everyone is aware of the potential troubles with the social security system and have probably heard and thought of different ways to reduce the possible impact caused by the failing social security system. One way to sustain the existing system is to encourage males to spread their seeds and enlarge their family at an exponential rate so that the "legacy" can be passed on to the next generation. I am in complete agreement with this solution, and here comes what I think to be a nice slogan to bring up the social awareness of this solution ~ FUCK! No more "make love, not war" bumper sticker. Just go with the most direct approach - FUCK! In addition, here is a song to sing along with the slogan, imagine all the people fucking all the times. Imagine everyone is busy fucking and no time for crime, no time for violence. It's a wonderful world.
--- Risk Management ---
Life is all about making right decisions at the right moments and managing risks at different situations. What I'd like to share are a couple of life-long guidelines in making the right decisions.
Rule No. 1: It is not worth to break up with your girlfriend if you are only upgrading from a 6.5 to a 7.0. If any upgrade, it has to be a full-step improvement; otherwise, DON'T. Let us compare this with pure investment analysis: If the return does not justify the risk of the investment, there is no reason of making such investment. By the same token, think about all the time, work, and energy spent on a lady and she doesn't appear to be much better than whoever you have right now. Does it make sense to take action?
Rule No. 2: Always go for a 9.0 instead of a 5.0. First of all, let's make sure everyone on the same page; that is, perfect 10 does not exist! Miss 10.0 is like an ideal number such as the square root of -1 - imaginary. A'ight, next is the misconception of getting 5.0 is easier than getting 9.0. My firm belief is that all ladies are difficult to catch. Doesn't matter whether they are 1.0 or 9.0; it's just as difficult. Of course, there is no denial of different levels of difficulties associated with broads at different ranks. Nevertheless, fact cannot be ignored that the possibility of getting turned down by a 5.0 can be as high as by a 9.0. Getting shot down by a 5.0 can cause much psychological adverse affect on everyone than by a 9.0. Not to exaggerate, this can be life changing experience - picture yourself in a club and trying to ask a chubby chick, who is with her hot friend, to dance with you, but you find yourself facing the back of her head while your friends are calling you a chubby chaser. Oh boy!
That's all for tonight, peace.

Random Anger
Does anyone know this week (4/14 to 4/21) is the so called "Teen Driving Week"? I was driving to work this morning and saw this message on a big ol' electronic billboard. I was like why wasting so much energy to show this non-productive message on a major highway and what the f^ck is "Teen Driving Week"? I don't even think this week should be the Teen Driving Week at all!
Here is what I think:
Move the "Teen Driving Week" to July or August to go hand-in-hand with the "Spare the Air Week". Meanwhile, we can encourage our teens to drive more to pollute the environment, and we can shoot ourselves in the foot to promote sparing the air by taking public transportation. This is yet another contradicting act from the government.
As long as I can assign each week for a special purpose, why don't we throw in something like: Singing While Driving Week, Pedestrian Walking on the Sidewalk Week, Smell Your Own Fart Week, Don't Flush Until You Can't Stand it Week... These sound like FUN!
Wait a damn second here. hmmm... I know. Argh huh, to add to my calender, I think I will have 4/14 to 4/21 be "the F^cking Us Over" or "the Government Says and We Bend Over" Week to celebrate the glorious deadline to file taxes!

Sex and Sleep
It's been quite a while from my last post. Work has given me stress and not enough time for creativity until last night...
I was all and ready to get some rest last night, and the next thing - yeah, you know it - my upstair neighbor was DOING it. His girlfriend was making hella noise! Don't get me wrong. I am all in support of guys getting heads and ass, but I have to admit that it's not pleasant when you hear moaning while trying to fall asleep. The worst would be this girl purposely faking it! In this situation, I actually thought about turn on my speaker and play some porns as loud as it can to nullify this noise attack from upstair. Of course, being a gentleman as usual, I just put on my headphone as my earplug to block off all the unwanted sound wave.
Sleep was decent, not great, but decent, until 7 in the morning. I was waken up, again by the flicking moaning noise. I was flicking pissed 'cause I wanted to stay in bed until time to work. Plus, who would fucking wake up in 7 in the morning to DO it! That's an act without decency, you know. Remember in your apartment laundry room, there is always a sign telling you not to wash your clothes before 8 am and after 10 pm. This guy is violating the rules and should be expelled from the apartment.
While the noise keeps coming like a wave, a sudden thought just stroke me like a lightning - Maybe this girl is not his girlfriend, maybe she is a professional, a professional service provider. Now, it all made sense because if I paid for any service, I would want to get my full value. Plus, this is pussy we are talking about here, and there is no way that any guys would miss out on hitting that. Having sex and practicing the fundamentals of being a smart consumer, Grrreat! Literally, it's like hitting two birds with one stone.
Then, I forgave him and went back to sleep.

I am always in trouble...
when it comes to relationship. Men, males never win a fight in any relationship because women always ALWAYS have the upper hand (or lower, to be precise on the location) . Even though I understand this by heart, I still don't understand why I often find myself in this battle accidentally and inadvertently, especially when it comes to Valentine's Day.
Girlfriend always complains I am not romantic enough and is not impressed with my effort. Well, her girlfriends never help either, if not making my situation worse like hammering nails into my coffin, 'cause they like to share personal life, and especially love to put their boyfriends under magnifying glass. Or worse, we, the boyfriends, are often being prosecuted in trial without knowing the crimes that we have committed. Being well aware of the judicial system and the consequences of being confrontational, I have to admit I am guilty.
Although I accept to all charges of wrong doings, I think it isn't really my fault for not being romantically impressive on Valentine's Day. Just because there are some boyfriends who come up with creative ideas to express their affection, I, then, have become a prisoner of romance. Not that I am scared of being a prisoner, it is just the punishment that worries me. Be real, I hate all my girlfriend's friends' romantic boyfriends because you have raised the bar for the rest of us. And this bar hits us bad, real bad, 'cause we might be facing yet another year to miss out on Steak and BJ Day. The glimpse of hope of getting some heads (opps, I meant to celebrate the great March 14 - Steak and BJ Day) depends heavily on my parole performance now. Flucrak!
Afterthought: I think we ought to liberate and fight against the system. Our objective for this liberation is to make everyday a Steak and BJ Day!

(If I have to decide...) My vote goes to...
JOHN McCAIN
I ain't have much love for politics and am neither a republican nor a democrat supporter... but I think I like John McCain for these following reasons:
1. He is the oldest candidate and it is extremely likely that he will last for one term only. When I get sick of him, I can think to myself that he is going to be around for 4 years. That's it.
2. John McCain can save us from any disasters! He will crawl through elevator shafts, jump off from airplane/helicopter, run after bank robbers in the middle of Manhattan, shoot all the villains in the head to protect the nation. Salute to McCain!
3. McCain's daughter is hot! She is much more attractive than Chelsea Clinton. Imagine you see Chelsea once a week on TV, oh boy, I can feel the sick out of my stomach. On the other hand, I probably won't get tired seeing the McCain's on TV.
That's why my vote NOT to the Clinton's. Sorry.
