Alright so there's this whole hubub about props and everything and I gotta tell you how I'm voting because shit... there's nothing else to write about. (Although I do have an interesting story with pictures of my run-in with fundamentalist Brother Jed. Good story. Next post.)
1A- I'm voting yes. I understand borrowing money isn't the way to go for this but my heart and head are having a major disagreement. My heart says, "A high speed rail would kick ass." My head says, "Borrowing more money for pet projects isn't the way for CA to go when it's already borrowing money to pay its employees." Bonds will be paid back and all that but when? Can CA even sell that many bonds? Does anyone want to invest in CA right now? It is a major heart/head disagreement but at this point in time I'm going with my heart. Maybe in voting booth I'll change my mind.
2- I'm voting no. Why? Because even if it does raise the prices of eggs by a couple pennies you have to factor in the rising prices of everything else. This can be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I care a lot more about that camel than I do about a bunch of stupid chickens. But seriously folks, why should CA give up one of its biggest industries and force consumers to import cheaper, more lax health regulated eggs from Mexico? Vote NO, please.
3- I'm voting no. I don't hate kids but we passed this prop a few years ago and they still haven't sold half of their bonds yet; what makes them think they can sell more? Give me a break. My heart goes out to the kids but my head says sell the rest of your other bonds, bureaucrats.
4- I'm voting no. Parental notification would be great for the Brady Bunch but not every family is the Brady Bunch. Abusive parents do exist and I believe more young girls will be hurt if they are forced to notify their parents. More should be done to reduce unwanted pregnancies because personally, I don't like abortion. I don't think anyone likes it. That doesn't mean I will allow for young girls to be abused by abusive parents because they made a mistake. Nope.
5- I'm voting yes. Non-violent drug offenders crowd up our prisons. Let them suffer in rehab. The main reason I'm voting yes is because after the initial costs of implementing the plan... the state will save billions. Lord knows we need to save that money.
6- I'm voting no. It costs too much money with pretty much a blank check for law enforcement to do whatever it wants. I'm all for law enforcement. Just not when there's no ceiling to how much they're going to spend when CA is in a major budget crisis.
7- I'm voting no. It's going to cost a lot of money to implement and its benefits are unknown. Its costs are unknown in the future. It's a poorly written proposition.
8- I'm voting no. Look at who's funding it and give me a non-religious reason why this bill should pass. If two consenting adults want to get married, the government has no right to step in and say no. This isn't about churches and this isn't about schools... it's about how big you want the government to be. I witnessed a demonstration FOR prop 8 and they kept saying "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." It begs the question: If we're talking about the Judeo-Christian God, does God look down on marriages between Buddhists? The LDS Church and Dobson are funding this shit so don't tell me it's not religious. Separation of church and state. This doesn't change a church's right to refuse to marry homosexuals. Voting NO means everything stays the same and local governments cannot refuse to grant marriage licenses to homosexuals.
9- I'm voting no. It costs a lot of money. Victim's being informed of everything every step of the way might mix emotions into a criminal investigation. If my kid was killed, I would be emotional and I would want the first person they suspected to be sentenced to death. The fact is that I'm not thinking rationally and every suspect has the right to a fair trial. Me injecting my emotions into every step of everything would hamper the justice system.
10- I'm voting yes. It's a Pickens' Plan component and I'm all for it. It's going to cost money but it'll pay off to get rid of our addiction to oil (everyone that hates the US sells oil so fuck oil.)
11- This really for me is a flip of the coin. I hate the gerrymandering that goes on now but I don't see how this fixes the problem without much oversight. There needs to be oversight. I'll probably vote no.
12- I'm voting yes. War veterans deserve our respect and society does need to make it easier for them considering they've sacrificed so much for our country. It's also not like the state is just giving away money. They're loans. I'm all for it.
There you have it. Those are the California props and how I, vladmir, am voting. I don't speak for everyone on the site but I do speak to everyone.
For President, as you all know: BARACK OBAMA.

PROP 8
So, out of all the propositions, prop 8 is the one that definitely has me the most worked up. Evidence of this was seen last weekend in Fullerton when a homeless man called me a lesbian because I am choosing to vote NO on 8. This man is also not working and receiving $600 a month. I'm really not sure what pissed me off more, automatically being labeled a lesbian for supporting gay marriage or getting up every morning and going to work to make the exact same monthly salary that this man is being handed.
I'm getting off topic... a few things that truly infuriate me are the cars adorned with YES on 8 bumper stickers, the yards with the YES on 8 signs, and worst of all, the yards with the combination YES on 8 sign and McCain Palin sign. Anyway, today as I was driving, I passed a house on a busy street with a YES on 8 sign in the yard as well as a homemade sign that said, "Number of signs stolen: 14". I would really like to meet this person. This person was not only dumb enough to put a YES on 8 sign in their yard, they were also dumb enough to think, "Hey, while I'm at it, I'm going to MAKE a sign that proves just how WRONG I am to be displaying this sign in the first place!"
Fuck, this election needs to end before I have a heart attack.

Rubbernecking
Garkahar's most recent post on the phenomenon of traffic accidents was interesting.
See, he said you should get a fine if you get into an accident (which you do if you're at fault). I think there should be two cops that show up at an accident. One guy to clean up brains and make arrests and take reports and blah blah blah and one guy to sit and watch all the assholes who slow down to look.
Garkahar had a point in his post. Traffic is a bitch. Everyone knows that but unless someone is running around burning on fire or a car full of naked chicks crashed or someone running around burning on fire ran into a car full of naked chicks there is no reason to slow down and look.
I was in a hurry to get home because I haven't been getting much sleep lately and I wanted to NAP (which I never do because I think it's a waste of a waking hour). Traffic is backed up for fifteen minutes... going 15 MPH.
What were people stopping to look at? A fender bender and a motorcycle cop writing something. Cops should be giving tickets out to all the assholes who turn to their right to look at an accident.
If Joe McCain called 9-1-1 to complain about rubberneckers on the freeway, I would have applauded him. He didn't.

Hard balls, soft balls, hard ons, blue balls
When someone asks "Is Obama a Marxist?" it's not a hardball or a softball; it's one ball connected to an impotent non-working dick. It's like asking, "Is McCain a Nazi?" It's a ridiculous question.

In a utopian city....
..there would be no traffic, but one does not exist and that is why I am stuck in southern california Orange County Irvine traffic.
Normally, I am the one who wakes up at 6 to be there at 7, serving two purposes: One, I would arrive early enough (quarter to the hour) to walk to the building, get my breakfast from the cafeteria, and be ready to start wasting "work time" as 7am hits. Two, I'm the anal-retentive desk jockey who wants to beat that traffic home; so much that I skip my lunch hour to get out an hour earlier. Now, 3 o'clock comes around and it's time to hit the road; hoping that it won't be that traffic-y yet. Traffics fine; normal routine. After a solid quarter of the way into the drive SIG alert for a fucking car crash 8 miles away. "Expect delay." Here is my proposal:
A civil injustice fee.
YES, a civil fucking injustice fee.
A FUCKING FEE YOU SHOULD BE FINED FOR WASTING A GOD DAMNED HOUR OF MY FRIDAY, WHICH I WOKE UP EARLY AS FUCK JUST TO GET OUT AND ENJOY MY DAY.
It should read:
Dear MR. I-crash-my-car-on-the-5-and-beach-during-god-damned-rush hour,
According to our statistics, you have effectively reduced everyones outlook towards the rest of the day by 35% and collectively wasting approximately 25,000 hours of lives. These amounts will be put through a formula to be applied to a fee schedule, which will then be surrendered to you. These amounts will remain a liability of yours to the State to fund ways to payback the grievance you have caused them. We would like to thank you for your continuing commitments to improving the quality of the peoples satisfaction.
Warmest regards,
The People of Southern California
(you can put a cool logo imprint of a group of people on the paper there)
Basically, I decided to go the long route of brining you a nonsensical post.
But, I mean come on, you know it is fucking annoying.....
SIDE NOTE
who here is a pencil chewer?
This doesn't mean you have to "chew" the pencil, but rather just hold it in your teeth.
I am an attic when it comes to that.

Who is God voting for?
Read this link.
Palin is so confident that God will help McCain win. What will happen when McCain loses? Will she lose her faith? Will she reevaluate her belief that the earth is 6000 years old?
I wish people would stop throwing God around and forcing him to be on their side. Did God do the right thing when he put Hitler in power? Did he do the right thing when Stalin took over? God has a record of mistakes if you limit him to just intervening in world governments.
Every time someone invokes God's name in a political campaign to make it seem like God chooses sides on these things, you don't do anything to bring more people to God. What if you lose? That, to some people, is evidence that God doesn't exist.
You're probably right that God doesn't support killing unborn babies, Palin, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't support killing born babies in Iraq either.
I hope Obama wins because I can't wait for the day that every single person that thought Palin was great and smart can just shut the fuck up and admit she was an idiot from the get go.
On another note, I always hear people saying, "OH! Isn't she so smart?" That just provides more evidence that she's dumb because you never hear people saying how smart Biden, McCain and Obama are. EVERYONE knows they're smart. You only say someone's smart when you're trying to make up for the fact that everyone knows she's an idiot.
EDIT: Will someone please tell her to stop wearing that red leather jacket thing. When the RNC is shelling out $150k on your wardrobe and you choose to wear the same thing every day, people are gunna think you're poor.

everyone loves a nerd
So after days of talking to vlad about video games and what not, I have been thinking about the transition the generations have gone through. It seems that as technology increases so does a true nerd's ability to function within a social environment. The time of the nerd is upon us.
Never before has technology become so embraced: bloggers, computer-based-tech-seekers (a.k.a. faggot kids who drool over new Apple products), myspace, facebook, video games, cell phones, et al. Technological influences have progressed so far that even hot bitches say, "lol" in real life now. (I can vouch for that).
Now, let me ask you guys this. Why is that us "nerds" were losers back then, but now you guys are just as queer? Back when you kids were playing sports and doing guy-manzo stuff. I was sitting at home... playing a video game, or doing something online (....nothing much has changed). Yet now, since you have realized that you are no longer big man on the totem pole, because of the following:
I) being able to operate technology gets you better jobs (IT field is huge)
A) jobs = cash = money (= bitches) = power = bitches (AKA Leykis 101)
1) nerd > guy manzo (paralled to Leykis has more bitches then me)
II) everyone uses it and has a need for someone to help/introduce/ operate it for them
A) computer favors ~~ FAVORS ( if you are lucky)
III) people are embracing technology and enjoy it
A) hot bitches + nerds = tech talks
1) tech talks > I can one handed pushups; (in a boyfriend-girlfriend kind of sense)
This list could go on forever, but I will refrain. My point is now more that ever nerds are more socially acceptable. I have noticed, from personal interactions, that nerds are kind hearted, level headed, and smelly. They are great people to be around. Granted you must understand that this is the new generation nerds, not the old balding sweaty dungeon n dragons comic book selling yellow kind.
So, in conclusion, hot chicks go sex a nerd and technological-incoherent-manbeasts.. get the fuck off, please. Go work your brain muscle... it will get you more ass in the long run (ref note I.A)
(my ability to complete a thought has never been worse)

UFO story
Alright first off I know no one will believe me on this.
Last night I was driving home around midnight and I was at a stop sign. I saw this circular bright green thing fucking going like fast as hell in the sky and then all of the sudden it disappeared. It was visible for like 10 seconds. I just sat there thinking, "Did I just see that?"
Yes, I fucking saw a UFO.
Now I know many people will say it was probably just a meteor or something crazy like that but it was CIRCULAR. It was nuts. Like nothing I've ever seen before.
I called my girlfriend and told her and she didn't believe me and I immediately thought to myself, "Great, now I'm one of THOSE people."
Now the whole interworld knows it. Some will believe me, some wont. I don't plan on making this a life changing moment but I was worried about getting probed last night. Thankfully I did not.
Even though it would be cool to see another planet, I still got bills to pay here on Earth.

Chick Post
Three posts in a row? Who do I think I am, Vlad? Truth is, I had a lot to do this week and VSBX is my favorite way to procrastinate.
So last night instead of studying, I came to the conclusion that Kath & Kim is my new favorite show (excluding The Office of course). This shit is FUNNY and I'm convinced that it's not just for chicks because my dad seemed to enjoy it too. My favorite part about this show... Kath and Kim are so much like my mom and me, it's not even funny. Kim just moved back in with her mom who was actually enjoying her daughter being gone... sounds about right. I didn't even notice it until my own mother pointed out last night how similar I am to Kim because all we both do is "eat and bitch". Anyway, if you haven't seen it yet check it out next Thursday or the full episodes are on nbc.com.
One last thing... has anyone seen the new Target commercials with the Dolly Parton song? I'm almost positive that nobody will agree with me on this and that it's just my white-trash coming through but I fuckin love that song and I love Dolly, always have. Check it out, it'll put you in a better mood, I swear.
Alright, that's all for now, I'm thinking I need to chill out on the TV for a while and go read a book.
Ya right.

Project Numero Uno
So, despite the fact that once I graduate I will be working primarily with digital photography, my school only requires that I take ONE digital class. For four years now I have worked only with film. This is why I have yet to upload any of my work... scanning negatives is kind of a bitch. Anyway, my digital class started this semester and I'm pretty excited about it/frustrated with it. Here's what I've been working on.
Hopefully sometime before Spring I will get a website up and running.
Weeee!

Oprah on Proposition 2
Don't ask me why the hell I was watching Oprah but it was all about California Proposition 2.
God, I hate Oprah. She had her own biased viewpoint and allowed the Pro Proposition 2 to counter point every time the anti Prop. 2 guy said something he disagreed with.
Then Oprah goes and says "Well a lot more people will start thinking about buying cage free eggs after watching this." (I'm paraphrasing.
You cocky little wank, Oprah.
More expensive procedures for producing eggs in California will force consumers to buy from Mexico or even China. And we all know their sanitary regulations and how healthy it is for human beings.
My point is, go on your crusade to make farm animals human in twenty years once our economy is finished fucking Americans in the ass.
I work in retail and I've seen the price of eggs nearly double within the past few years because corn prices went up. Imagine if California farmers had to remake all of their cages just to please the regulations of Prop 2. Prices will go up, poorer consumers (THEY DO EXIST, OPRAH) will be forced to buy foreign eggs.
Farmers will lose money and California will lose its dominance in farming.
Think for the needs of human beings at this point in time. Look at our country. Look at how much food prices have already risen. Vote NO on 2.

California voters: No on Prop. 2
Proposition 2 is a lie created to tug at your heartstrings. The proposition illustrates how cows and other livestock are raised in deplorable conditions to make your food. It explicitly mentions veal.
Yes, veal is made from baby cows all tied up and forced to live for a couple of months in complete pain just to get an awesomely tender meat.
I don't eat veal, by the way.
But here's the point: CA doesn't even really produce veal. The proposition is designed to make chicken farmers raise their chickens "free range" or whatever it is. You know, make these little chickens happy before the factory cuts their heads off and vacuum seals their meat in plastic bags to be sold at your local Ralph's grocery store.
In these crazy ass economic times (and by crazy ass I mean totally fucked up) with food prices going up, this is no time to start legislating on part of chicken happiness. What about human happiness? Forcing farmers to change their methods just to please PETA and chickens will drive food costs up, making it harder and harder for the working poor to eat a decent meal. 4 piece Chicken McNuggets may be permanently de-listed from the dollar menu and McDonalds. How the fuck can you be a dollar menunaire without 4 piece nuggets? You can't.
My point is if you hate humans, vote yes on 2. If you give a shit about humanity and the crisis we are in right now, you will vote no on 2. Save your lovey dovey ideology for a time where it's not economically disastrous to pursue.
How happy can a chicken actually be while its on its way to getting its head cut off anyway?

Late Night with Margareane Buttersworth =)
Werd, yo. It's been quite a while since my last post. <( ..)> I don't know what the hell that is.
I recently have been surfing youtube just out of boredom. I came upon this video of a seemingly hot chick. The whole video consists of her staring into the camera. Here, peep these.
Kind of creepy, but you just keep watching her. Apparently her name is Magibon (not her real name) and she is 22 years old. She lives in Pennsylvania, but wishes she could live in Japan. She practices speaking Japanese in her videos so if you know the language, awesome. Here are two videos of her speaking Japanese.
So, notice anything else about her? Thought you might. I won't mention it here though.
That's my post. Kind of pointless. Whatever. Suck it.

"My friends"
How many times did John McCain say, "My friends"?
Joe Six Pack over here wishes he had a bottle of vodka to drink to every I heard that.
The McCain-Palin ticket is the drinking game ticket. If they're good for anything, they're definitely good for that.
Cheers to that.

Bad days usually begin like this
Every morning I wake up contemplating calling in sick to work.
99% of the time I put my tail between my legs and go to work anyways. I'm never actually sick, I'm just sick of working.
Today the feeling to call in was unusually strong.
After showering... that's when I'll decide.
Got into the shower, scrubbed the stank out of me and got knocked in the head by the shower head which had fallen out of the wall.
So here I am in the shower yelling FUCK a thousand times trying to fix it. It wouldn't allow itself to be fixed. MOTHERFUCKER.
I went to work anyways.
Pissed, annoyed, and soapy.
Some bitch also threw cigarette cartons at me. It was a great day.
After work I went to Carl's Jr and found a deep fried bobby-pin in my fries. Something inside of me wished I had found it at the bottom of the fry container rather than at the top. At least I would have gotten my money's worth.
When is this class war going to start that I keep hearing about?

Pissed, annoyed, and soapy.
Some bitch also threw cigarette cartons at me. It was a great day.
After work I went to Carl's Jr and found a deep fried bobby-pin in my fries. Something inside of me wished I had found it at the bottom of the fry container rather than at the top. At least I would have gotten my money's worth.
When is this class war going to start that I keep hearing about?
Can't Believe It
The hottest cut right now is “Can’t Believe it” by T-Pain.
In the last few years, we’ve seen an interesting trend of an increasingly thinning line dividing R&B and hip-hop; more obvious when considering who’s listening to the music. Hip-hop fans used to not be very interested in R&B and vice versa.
Beyond this blend of similar genres, we’ve recently seen a combination of vastly different types of music as well. Whereas several years ago it was hip-hop and rock coming together, you can now credit Bay hip-hop and other sources for the recent influence of electronic/dance/house music in rap.
These have become welcome trends and we have clearly been expanding our boundaries in what we deem is acceptable and dope. Which brings me back to T-Pain. Here’s his latest video:
If it's not working, you gotta watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT_fnAjZNDY
This is a pretty sick video effects wise, but what. the. fuck.
When I mentioned before that it’s interesting to consider this music’s audience, I was referring to the fact that hard black dudes totally dig this shit. How did this happen? Sure, this style music has transcended to gangsta rap listeners. But it just seems kinda hard to act like a roughneck when you’re watching a music video with a dancing teddybear wearing a top hat.
There are several things that make this video pretty ridiculous. Black or not, ICP guy is still at the end of the day an ICP guy. And at around 2:55, shit starts getting really weird with this fool. Since when was it okay to have acrobats and midgets in S&M outfits in your video and still be straight? Let us also remember that circuses are inherently gay.
The weird part about all of this is that what I’m saying is VERY OBVIOUS to everyone. Yet we are accepting this because it’s avant-garde hip-hop or something. Who the fuck knows what that means.
Now, I know what you’re all gonna say. Old Puff Daddy videos were just as homo-erotic as this, and they were widely accepted. But besides the retarded dancing, Puff Daddy videos had redeeming elements like guns and money and shit. So, I think a line has to be drawn when the video is so overt as to have the dude dressed as a circus clown wearing a giant purple fur coat with a bunch of other dancing black dudes flying around inside him.
I’m not saying T-Pain is gay, but if T-Pain comes out of the closet tomorrow, everyone’s gonna just point to this shit and say, “duh, this is clearly the gayest shit I’ve ever seen in my life.”
And another thing, yes, everyone – black or white, and myself included – loves Wayne. His swagger is sick and he doesn’t give a fuck. But I think my sentiments about his verse are shared with fellow youtube commenters: “sometime I dont understand what weezy b sayin…”
NO SHIT YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND WHAT HE’S SAYING. He is literally whining his words.
If he’s sipping cough syrup all day, why is he getting more unintelligible? It’s pretty clear now that he’s reached the point where he thinks the more incomprehensible his raps are, the more ridiculously awesome he thinks he is.
Not to mention that T-Pain’s part of the song itself is both very catchy and completely absurd.

Impeachment Quickie

Post debate thoughts
Ever since the Democratic Party's primary, Obama's opponents have been trying to paint him as the risky "unknown" choice. McCain's campaign tried to capitalize on the rift temporarily caused by this strategy and it worked... for awhile.
Then McCain picked a real unknown. A hockey mom who's only difference between her and a pitbull was lipstick (and probably high heels but I'm sure the internet can correct me on that with a photograph). The excitement for the pick lasted for about a week.
Then things started coming out about her. Troopergate, her membership in the Alaskan Independence Party, etc etc. Maybe she wasn't as transparent as she had portrayed herself.
Then the damning Katie Couric interviews. She came across to voters as being dumb and unprepared. And as much as Americans love people who are "just like them," Americans aren't dumb enough to not realize the gravity of the crisis we are in.
Last night's debate did nothing to woo the American public to McCain's side. Even though she stood there and lost the debate less worse than everybody thought, she has successfully and unintentionally made the McCain-Palin ticket the risky and unknown ticket.
She wants to expand the Constitutional role of the Vice President? For what? What more is needed? She is a megalomaniac and an unqualified one at that!
The risk for America is the McCain-Palin ticket. McCain's been in American politics for thirty years and all of the sudden he is the "unknown." He can thank Palin for that.

The "Master" of the non-answer
Watch both Biden's and Palin's answers. Palin was so damn good at the art of the non-answer during her Alaskan debates but when it comes to national politics... the non-answers she provides are just bumbling, incoherent, and prove her ignorance and her lack of "readiness" to be VP or President.
Tonight should be an entertaining night.

The Audacity of Itchy Balls
Check this out.
The guy who put up that sign that reads "Obama is a half breed muslin" wants to make a bigger sign. Watching the video of somebody confronting him is hilarious too.
The guy is an idiot. He wasn't even aware that the "m" sound and the of MUSLIM is spelled with... COULD YOU GUESS?? AN "M" of course.
Oh well, idiots will always exist. At least there's the Biden-Palin showdown tomorrow night.
I hope Biden doesn't tear into her too hard because it could have the opposite effect in which people will start going, "OH that's not fair, he's only being so smart because she's so dumb."
McCain-Palin needs no sympathy right now. McCain's first executive decision was to pick a dumb ass hockey mom from Alaska to be his VP; that's his own damn fault. Let him sink in his own bad decisions. Holy crap, Gravel would have been a better choice than Palin and I'm sure Gravel would have accepted the offer.
