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.

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...
