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.

Artificially Intelligent

Looking back at things a previous version of yourself has written can say a lot about how a person develops. I have gone back and read some of my earlier posts on this blog and I am surprised at how much further I have moved forward in my life as a person. I feel that I can articulate myself much more efficiently and don't rely so much on cliche modes of speech or resorting to using obscenities to punctuate how I feel towards certain things. I have either deleted or reverted a lot of my posts back to drafts because at this point I can't read much of them and not cringe. I have done a lot of things with my life over the last fifteen years since I started this blog. I mainly meant to create it as a mental scrapbook, something I could look back on and maybe be a little proud of. I felt pretty much the exact opposite. I really came off as negative and focusing on things that while being important, I had little or no control over. I have come to realize that the world I live in can ...

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...

final preparations

I have had the flu the last few weeks so I have been mainly working from home. I have some big things going on with my senior project in the next week so things will be pretty busy. In spite of this I have had a lot of time to sort through my thoughts and start getting ready to move out of where I'm living and have everything in place for when I'm done with my degree. As I've stated already, I'm really glad this is happening and it will bring a long, crazy chapter of my life to a close. I guess the one thing that surprises me the most is how I had to make such huge sacrifices and force myself to commit to something that I didn't even really think I could do. Now that it is almost over I look back and feel that sometimes it really wasn't that bad. Could I do it over again? I'm not really sure. If I knew what I know now, I probably could have done it a lot quicker and easier but there was no way for me to really know what I was in for. I didn't know I wo...
