Iraq War 5th Anniversary

So Bush is calling taking out Saddam Hussein and the war in Iraq a victory. I doubt it will ever cease to amaze me how completely oblivious this guy is to what is really happening in the world. Our economy sucks, unemployment is on the rise, millions of American citizens still without health care, and Bush acts like our world is a better place. I can't think of much that hasn't already been said a million times by people a lot smarter than me, in probably more eloquent and powerful ways, but for christ's sake, I cannot believe that this idiot still thinks that we have a chance at winning a war that was lost a long time ago. What is really scary is that I'm convinced that even he believes the same bullshit him and his corrupt administration spew to the public everyday. Hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's dead, thousands of American troops dead, an even more unstable middle east, and pretty much the entire world hates America and George Bush more than ever. Our country is in a crisis, no matter what George Bush says. Everyone in our country needs help in one way or another, we all need to heal after 9/11 and stop letting our government push us around. George Bush and his administration have done nothing but taken advantage of every single person in this country, they have trampled on and taken away our rights. He has funded spying on Americans and has taken away our right to privacy. He has made a mockery of our constitution and accuses anyone who opposes him as unpatriotic. He has increased the racial divide in our country and has polarized our communities because of his patriotic rhetoric that completely lacks any logic or rationale.

George Bush and his administration are a disgrace to democracy, and they are a disgrace to our country and everything we stand for. They have taken advantage and profited from people who need help. What is even worse and completely sickening is that they have also profited from the deaths of everyone involved in the wars we are fighting, and helped fuel a heroin epidemic that is now sweeping our nation. They did little or nothing to rebuild the communities around the disasters of 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. We should be providing help to the people how need it most, not being forced to pay for wars that do nothing but line the pockets of defense contractors and the politicians who are CEO's that own them.

We have to rebuild, and we need to show the rest of the world that we are a resilient nation full of people that care about one another. George Bush is the worst political figurehead our country has ever had pollute the offices of our government, and I hope that he is labeled as a war profiteer and tyrant for eternity. I only hope that whoever succeeds him is successful in rebuilding our country and giving the people of this country peace and justice.

Just Like Deja Vu

Here we go again. I graduated from college once, got a job did okay for a while, economy collapses lose my job and I end up going back to college to get another degree. I graduate from college, get a job, do fairly okay for a while, global pandemic, civil unrest, inept president, economy collapses. Basically lose job. What in the fuck is actually happening? For starters, I feel like I have made some really dumb mistakes in life. I know I did not do things the way that most expect after high school. I hated the thought of being just like everyone else. I had really high hopes for myself. I guess everyone starts out life this way, thinking that they are always just on the cusp of greatness and that they just need their big break. I had no intentions of ever going to college, ever getting a degree or being what I just thought was a sucker. Just like when I saw 'A Bronx Tale', I felt that working people were idiots. Breaking your back for some boss that doesn't give a shit abou...

where we are headed now

So I manage to get to this blog on really sporadic rate right now. Mostly because I used to write this blog because it was one of the ways that I fought off the boredom of having a job I couldn't stand and wasn't really taking me anywhere in life. I've come a long way from there and sometimes I want to stop and think about what I went through and how now I am a much stronger person than I was before. I constantly try to make each day count now, I see even more horrific things on the news everyday and it makes me feel that I'm really lucky that I am pretty well insulated from it. I wonder what it would be like if I wasn't and I was stuck in some place where barbaric things are commonplace. More and more each day I feel like every second I have is a gift and that I should not squander it away doing mundane bullshit that doesn't push me any closer to my goals. I've learned to be much more productive, even though I still have a ways to go when it comes to cont...

I made it

So I finished college, again. I went through almost everything that I thought I would and then some. It's been a few months and I really felt like I needed a break from everything for a while and now things are starting to settle down enough to the point that I can get back to spending a little time here and there updating this blog. I started this a long time ago just because I felt like putting my words down somewhere I could go back and look at it and feel like I can see the progress I've made. At the time when I started writing on this blog I was working at a job I hated and really felt like I was selling myself really short and I needed to get my engineering degree in order to see my full potential. That was almost ten years ago. Like everyone else, I ask myself, where did the time go? I wanted to go to school to become an aerospace engineer in order to make some part of me and the family that is still alive see me as someone that could compare to my grandfather. I k...
