Pompous Bastards

So all I have been hearing about lately is how the auto industry is on it's last leg and it is pretty much up to the government to bail them out or otherwise the United States is going to lose billions of dollars and tens of thousands are going to be out of work. Now we have to stop and think for a second about how this all ended up happening. The huge corporations built huge, gas guzzling, SUV's, trucks and cars that were inferior to their Japanese counter parts in regards to quality, economy and even style. Now because of the economic crisis, and the fact that their companies are swirling down the shitter, they've gone before congress to ask for a bailout plan. So what do these slapdicks do? They all fly to D.C. in their own private luxury jets. It kinda reminds of the audacity that Ol Dirty Bastard had when he rolled up to pick up his wellfare check in a limo. It's like panhandling in a Gucci suit. Even if we are dumb enough to give these assholes one red cent, what are they going to do with it? They sat back and for years watched how the demand for more fuel efficient cars and the price of gasoline sky rocket. Did they adapt at all the the common needs of most people that needed fuel efficient well built cars to make it to work everyday? Nope. I seriously doubt guys that fly around in the lap of luxury while tens of thousands of their employees are out of a job really care much about what is going to help our country get out of the biggets economic crisis I've ever seen.

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...
