My whole points is that if you don't know what you're doing, don't go get the most expensive piece of equipment you can your hands on. You're going to screw up, so why screw up the expensive piece that's difficult to replace?
Yeah, I understand. I got things mixed up, don't worry.

I've been enjoying Ocean's Series again. Great ensemble casting, and good humor to boot.
I know about that Pro. But, if you're going to practice, you should also sound pretty damn good with a good instrument, unless you're a beginner because then no one wants to hear you.

Maybe they figure people watch more politics in New England then the midwest.
Also: Obama was on fox on the west coast.

I did something today that will finally make some of you consider calling the men in the white coats on me.
No, that just confirms even more of the kind of insanity I said earlier.
Though why a cheap one is beyond me. At least get a halfway decent one.
.....except instead of Jack Nicholson, it's Daniel Craig, and instead of it being in California, it's in South America.
(SPOILERS)
Really. Quantum of Solace is essentially Chinatown, you have a group of bad guys, holding up water, native people are suffering, the bad guys are making a shit load of money off of water selling, there's a conspiracy, hero has to prove it to the rest of the world, someone's being mislead (The Police in Chinatown, the US in Quantum), and by the time they figure it out it's too late.
It's the same movie. Why they would settle for this lame reused plot line for a James Bond movie is beyond me.
Oh my. They're not airing a new conference? Wow, I would have thought the opposite; they would air it all day and jump over everything he would say.
But hey, it's a private company; they can do want ever they want.
And Coworker evaluations today.
Ah crap. Well, I haven't been a jerk to most of them, so it'll hopefully be good.
Until then....freak out time.

No, the crazy-funny-friend you're not sure about-totally off your rocker-what the hell is he going to do next-isn't he that mass murderer the police are after-insane.
That type.
To a certain extent we're all crazy.

You'd all gouge your eyes out if I worse something like that, and then I'd have no one online to talk too. And that would make me very sad.
As if the majority of us didn't think you were crazy enough.............

If you don't believe we can work together to get rid of nuclear weapons, then how the hell are we going to have a collaborative effort to build a space station?
And we should. But I have to say the future looks grim for Earth.
People have been saying that for a while. As far as I still know, we're all fine.
Terraforming, while nice and all, would take the downwards of 500 years (per planet, all the more reason to get started now). So in the short term this colony would be in an enclosed enviorment.
Again, what makes you think we're all going to work together?
NASA has proven adept at the invention of technology when need be. ( A non-wiki data base from NASA itself)
I'm not saying that it will be easy or quick to accomplish. I am saying it is
necessary to be done ASAP. Space Programs do not work without sufeccent funding, funding that Obama will not give them now, or in the forseeable future.
Well, joke about science, is one day it's your best friend, then next it's your worst enemy. It's constantly changing, so soon it may be irrelevant. Also, again, the likelihood of a nuclear war now is highly unlikely, so I don't see Earth dying within the next 50 years. So let's care about our domestic issues right now, because frankly, I think more people care about their jobs and their lives, and not some dream project from a bunch of NASA scientists.
Your logic is working against you.

Of course, he's probably just saying it because he's short and wants to feel more manly.
You can be smart and tall.
<---------6 ft.
RELEVANT: You can think with your head or your dick, but you don't have enough blood to think with both at the same time.

Well, at least the personal statements went well. But tomorrow's coworkers Eval, and who knows how the hell that'll go over.

Yeah.
It also gave a good reason why Bruce Campbell needs to come back into the limelight.

This isn't serious enough discrimination for a full-scale rebellion to take place. Not that the discrimination isn't a problem, it is. Why this boring day is needed, however, escapes me.
Okay, then, next year, if you'll please, don't take off Caesar Chavez Day, St. Patrick's day, Martin Luther King Day, and Veteran's Day. Because, by your logic, we don't need these boring days. They just celebrate minorities who can't do anything in this country.
WHOOPS.

Spybot is good for most viruses, but it won't get Virtumonde. The bastard's hard to get rid of, and Spybot won't get it.
However, for general purposes, Spybot is great.
This needs more CSI MIAMI.
Or at least some Burn Notice.
I'll settle for Law and Order.
The original, mind you, the spinoffs suck.

Okay. Why don't you, by your logic, care more about the foods you eat, global warming, and your Carbon footprint, because those effect human population, plus, you can do something about it.
It's easier to fix something we have (like Earth) then it is to find someone else. Frankly, 5000 people out of 7 billion people isn't a lot, and many won't get into that ship. That's going to piss a lot of people off, especially considering most likely only the elite and powerful people are going to get on the ship. It's not worth it for the American public to put in money to something that won't even affect them.
Furthermore, the likely hood of a nuclear war is very low, considering most of the world who has nuclear weapons know that if one goes off, we're all fucked. So they're all making sure that none will go off, or else they'll be bombed. With the exception of North Korea, everyone has pretty good common sense when it comes to launching nuclear weapons.
Coldplay overall I think has done a great job in the music industry. At this point they're a household name, and their tunes are overall pretty catchy with great riffs.
You should probably update your security measures and run them all. You probably have Virtumonde, because it sure sounds like it.
You'll also want to download Malwarebytes, which is a great anti-malware measure. It's one of the few that'll take all of the crap off your computer. I highly recommend it, I was once in your situation.
I hope everything works out.

I think the reason why he hasn't done much with the space program yet is we've got too many domestic and international problems to begin with. I'm willing to bet the American public would be really ticked off (as if they aren't now) if they found out their money was going to something completely irrelevant with the current lives.

Like others, I think it's too early to judge. But if he continues along this path, it might be safe to say another term for Obama.
And now comes the annual year progress testings based off your performance, coworker's opinion, and a variety of other things.
I probably won't do too bad, but still, I don't want to be canned.
I think this speaks pretty loudly on how I feel about the treatment of gays in the US. We screw them all, and yet, probably, when we'll need them the most, they'll laugh in our faces.
It's been 100 days in office for Obama. From his stimulus bill to the withdrawal of Iraq; closing of Guantanamo Bay to the release of the torture reports, his accomplishments, while questioned on intent, are not doubted in the overall work he has put in so far. Considering he also has 65% approval rating, highest since Jimmy Carter, things, you might say, are looking up.
What do you think will happen in the next 100? Will Obama continue to impress? Or will he finally stumble? Could he possibly continue to shake the world? How will address other issues? Will his stimulus plan work? Will his loyal base diminish? Why I am asking you all these questions?
Discuss your opinion on Obama's first 100 days, what you think about him so far, and how do you think he will fare in the next 100.
Hate has given me a job where people I hate argue against me, fueling my hate, and I argue back against their clients who hate me and their crimes can be about hate. After I put them away, they hate me, and it fuels my hate even more.
It's an endless cycle of hate.
You know, I've always wanted to ask, do you in the woods?
