In the past few weeks, months, and years, I haven’t been too happy with the mainstream media. I turned off the television years ago, and now get most of my news from alternate sources on the web. The stuff that ends up on television, ends up on the internet also, but I’ve got more freedom to find things relevant to me…things more relevant to almost everybody on the face of the planet.
I don’t care about Paris Hilton’s problems. I don’t care that MSNBC paid her for an interview. I understand that they are trying to help their ratings. Maybe if they got of their asses and reported on something worthwhile, people would watch their network more. The worst part of the entire Paris Hilton situation, is that other networks reported on how MSNBC was doing an interview. Now, instead of just MSNBC wasting time with Paris Hilton, the other networks cram Paris Hilton’s face smack-dab in the middle of my t.v. screen every 15 minutes. I would be a happier man if I never heard her name again.
Granted, I have no formal training the news business, and most of my ideas of what I should be seeing on the networks come from movies romanticizing the field of journalism, but I want to see something more substantial. I want bad guys to be caught…and I want to see it on television. I want moving monologues by reporters I can trust. I don’t want to feel like I’m dealing with a used car salesman trying to convince me to buy the old, rusted republican car, instead of the old, rusted democrat car.
I want truths, not opinions. And, speaking of opinions, cut the news talk shows. I don’t need O’reilly, Hannity, Colmes, etc… telling me what’s right. I want the facts. I want to be free to decide for myself what I think is right and wrong. I want the news networks to stop trying to point my moral compass in whichever direction they please.
So, I started working at a different pizza place here in town recently. It’s way nicer than my previous place of employment. The customers are better, the coworkers are better, the owner is better, and it’s closer to my house. The only problem is the pay is not nearly as good. I’ll have to get a second job to continue working at the new job. I think I’ll try part time as a bartender. It might be fun. Maybe…
Also, I’m still running for president in 2032. I don’t want to go into my stances on the issues right now, since I’m short on time, but if any of you are interested in my opinions and what I hypothetically do if I were to be elected president in 2032, then please go ahead and ask.
I’ve decided to run for president. Although, right now I’m only 26 years old, so I fall short of the minimum age requirement of the office. I figure that if I start campaigning now, I could have half a chance of being elected president by the time I’m 50. I’m aiming for the 2032 election. Right now, I don’t have any political experience under my belt…and I probably won’t have much more by the time 2032 rolls around.
While lacking experience, I consider myself a reasonably intelligent person who, when provided with essential information on a topic (the kind of information a president would have), could make the right decisions for this country. My decisions wouldn’t be based on what party wants what, or what lobbying group wants what. My decisions would be based on what the masses of America need. I’m an average guy who cares about the average american.
If, by the year 2030, the country is still in that state it’s in today, I will begin my campaign for the presidency.
I haven’t posted anything in awhile, but I’ve been wasting my time elsewhere on the interweb. Mostly, I’ve been enjoying the sport of scam-baiting…it involves giving a hard time to the people who send out the emails about how they’ve just come into a large amount of money and need your help getting it out of Nigeria or Zanzibar or wherever. You can check it out here.
I was skeptical of how enjoying this pastime could be, but I was hooked after the first few exchanges of email between myself and a “19 year old orphan girl” (actually a dude) from Nigeria. Her ridiculously rich father had died, and the “girl” had to get the money transferred to somewhere else so that her greedy family wouldn’t steal it. I had email conversations with her, her lawyer, and the bank where her money was, (all three had the same ip address, which was located somewhere in Ghana), but it took quite awhile before she asked me for a loan of several thousand dollars so she could get the required court documents to transfer the money out of the country. I strung her along for several months by pretending that I died and contacted her as my single and very senile father who was looking for a pretty young girl to help him around the house. She said she was very attracted to my father, who had sent her a picture of Wilford Brimley instead. I’ve been doing this since April 6th. I think it’s fun…my girlfriend thinks I’m stupid…
I adopted two new friends today. As of yet, I haven’t figured out their names, but that will happen soon enough. They’re both very adventurous and try to explore my house whenever I let them out of their cage.
I adopted them off of a girl here in Bloomington who had an unexpected litter of twelve around the beginning of January. So, now I’m the proud father of two 3-month old rats. With these two new additions, the total number of pets is five: the two rats, Grover Cleveland the mouse, Charlie the dog (lives with my girlfriend), and Val the rabbit (also lives with my girlfriend. I don’t have any pictures of Grover or Val yet, but here’s a badly made video of my girlfriend and Charlie from last fall… the first six seconds are me trying to figure out if the camera was recording…
