ummmmmmmm What in the hell is this? Is McD's so hard up that they have to kill an idea with this crap? I have nothing against McD's. I eat it rarely but I do so with my daugther and sometimes when I feel like it.
I go to the gym 5 times a week. I try my best to eat right. I shower daily and take care fo my body. Well I do smoke about a pack a day. No bullshit excuses from me. It's stupid and costs a shitload of money. But I still do it. Give me a break.
Anyway. Why this......thing? Yes McD's has tried to go healthy and it failed. People want jusk. they wantt o stuff themselvs with greeseball burgers. Fine thier choice. But I remember the campaign from McD's where they were trying to convince people that thier food was ooooohhhhhhhh soooooooooo healthy. Well then they changed again and are offering mroe healthy and fresh foods. Great job!
My daughter, when we go orders her happy meal with a cheese burger, fruit instead of fries and milk. SHE ORDERS IT! Hell yah!
I'm not going to get in to the whole "America is fat and we're all gonna die" mem. It's there. If you know yer fat and still don't do something against it your problem. Don't cry to me when you have to have that triple bipass. I invest 5-8 hours a week to keep myself in shape. If you say you don't have the time then ask me and I can give you some help and ideas for 20 min a day. No not some home gym that doesn't do shit. I have played football a lot in my life. 4 years High School and 12 years semi pro. I did 4 years in the Army. I have a few solid ideas on things you can do at home and will take as much time as you can invest.

The Obama school speech
Well another Obama decision and many people flipped out. Just like every pesident sind Reagan Obama gave a speach to American school kids. I honestly had no problems with him giving this speech.
So I read the transcript today. BOARING! Same shit different president. But I find a few things funny. Not ha ha funny but wierd funny.
First off when Bush Sr gave his speach there were cries from the democrats of republican indoctrination. More so and youder when Bush Jr gave his speach. After Bush Sr gave his speach there were investigations and all kinds of crap that turned up........nothing wrong or bad.
Now before Obama gave his speach the republicans and many of the right were saying pretty much the same thing. Well I read the speach and found nothign wrong with a president trying to steer kids in the right direction by staying in school, working hard, getting good grades and all that. I say good job Obama.
B U T (there's that word again) Obama supporters put out little ideas to kids about what to do AFTER the speach. Like write a letter to yourself on how you can support Obama more. ????? ummmmmmm what in the hell does that have to do with a president trying to motovate kids to do better in school? NOTHING!
Now we have a bunch of looney "actors" who made a commerical about how they pledge to support Obama. ummmmmmm correct me if I am wrong but the people elect the president and HE works for the people. I know wierd concept for the looney left but a basic concept put forth by the founders of our country.
How about teachers asking thier pupels to write a letter on how they could become better students? Or how they could better thier community? Not how they could support one man. Lenin said something that reminds me of what I saw happening with Obama supporters and Obama's school kids speech: "Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted." This is how I see many of Obama's followers. They are communists. they want nothing other than to turn our country away froma republic style of government backed by capitolism to a socialist bassed government.
In the US we have many freedoms. One of which is the freedom of speach. I can say pretty much what I want when I want. OK? B U T (here it is again) there are moral codes and rules that go with that. Over the last 4 years we saw how low people can get. Comparing Bush to Hitler, compairing Bush to Satan....The list can be long if I let it.
There were people calling for the death of Bush. These same people screamed, rather loud, they are against war and violence. hmmmmmmmmmm Rather stupid in my opinion.
So back to the point. The left was wrong trying to turn this in to an indoctrination stunt and the right was wrong for screaming about how Obama wants to controll the kids.
Obama was right making the speach and trying to motivate the kids in to becomming better students and citizens.
Does it all even out? I have no idea. I am trying to see all sides to the issues. I am trying to keep above the insulting level and present facts. thats is who and what I am.
I don't much care for Obama as a president. He is not my president. I have little respect for him as a man and less respect for him as a president. but I will try my very best to be fair to him. I do respect the position he holds. However badly he has been doing it.
I'm working on a post that presents the good things he has done so far against the complete fuck ups he has done so far. I'll let you decide. I have already. After that post I'll tell you exactly where I stand on the topic president Obama.

Hotlines
I have worked in first level support before. I know the stress, the time limits, the (l)users thinking they know how to solve problems. I habe been there. I have been bloodied.
I sit in second and third level behind a hotline. No fun at all. I will NOT say all hotline workers are stupid moronic useless waste of space. No that is flat out wrong. I WILL say that there are a number of people working IT hotlines are ARE stupid moronic useless wastes of space.
The last ticket I worked yesterday. We rolled out a new CD which installs software to configure a secure connection wiht the internal company netowrk. No big deal right? WRONG! Well atleast for our hotline it was a big deal.
You see we rolled out the PC a few months ago but without a possibality for a UMTS secure connection. Our distributer as he should left the hardware turned off in BIOS. Well just a few weeks ago we got everyhting done and tested. In a meeting and on a installation instruction manual which I wrote, I informed the hotline how this should be handeled.
Now we have roaming techies that were given the job of installing the hardware. Well last friday the first case came in. I wasnÄt at my desk but I heard about it. the hotline took 3 hours to solve the problem. On monday I got the next 2 cases. Both together solved under 30 min.
Today I was called over to the building where the hotline sits. Funny thos people. Anyway the team leader for the HL asked me why my document was not complete. Good thing I printed a copy as well as had my notebook with me......
Lets just say there is one HL worker who feels about 2mm tall right now. If he still has his job this week I will be suprised and disgusted. Basicly he lied to his TL about my document AND the fact that he never knew what needed to be done. So the TL tried to slam me over this and it just wouldn't stick. Those little things that most liars really hate called facts. I had mine and he was left hanging. Little shit.

Crap Vista
On my notebook at home I have Vista. It sucks. I mean it really is bad software. Allt he bells and whistles are turned off and still it takes up half my 4GB RAM just to freaking run! About haly my CPU is buisy with all the crap from Winblows.
So I ahve made a decision. I'll install a boot manager, load my vista crap on one partition and Ubunto on the other. Nice graphical interface and smooth to use. I have 2 machines running it. I like it.
We'll see what happens.
But for now I have to fight with my hotline about some stupid crap. Turns out they are too lazy to read mails and instructions......

Obama
I see Obama on the news, I see Obama in the newspaper, I see Obama all over the internet. But I have faild to see where he is keeping his promises. I fail to see where he is making old enemies to friends. I fail to see where race relations int he US are better than before. I fail to see where the economy is stronger. I fail to see all the rainbows and unicors he promised.
What I do see from him is bullshit being rammed down people's throats. I see an administration that is more closed than every before. I see a president doing exactly what the left claimed Bush did for 4 years. I see freedom of speach being eroded. I see freedom of the press being destroyed. I see unconstitutional take overs of private buisnesses. I see unconstitutional programs that allow people to "taddel" on their friends and neighbors when they do not toe the party line.
I do see many people out in the streets protesting what they feel is wrong and getting insulted and 2 2 occasions assulted for it. I read about kids in school who are afraid to voice their opinions. I have seen a deficet doubled in record time. I see the administration wanting to triple it this same year with policies and plans a very clear majority of the people simply don't want. But these people are being assulted and insulted.
I see a major gap forming in the US. A gap that was started under Bush but quickly being widned under Obama. But Obama promised to be the great healer, to reach across the isle and work with his opposition. Well just another empty promise form a politician.
I am worried about America's future. Is spending keeps up at the pace right now the USA will be broke in 10 years or less. If the gap continues to widen we stand a good chance at having a civil war.
You might think that I hate Obama. I honestly don't hate the man. No I think I could sit with him over a good whiskey and talk history or ideas. Not debate or argue but discuss. I honestly think Obama to be a good father to his children as well as a good husband to his wife. I also think he is trying to do the right thing in his opinion. I just don't agree with his ideas or policies.
I have asked before and many times in the recient past "Why did people vote for Obama other than the fact that he is not Bush or that he is half black" Still no answer to my question. I have asked in forums, on myspace and facebook. Still silence. I have read Dr King's "I have a dream" speach many times in the past few months. I have still yet to see his dream come to pass. Obama was NOT voted for becasue of what kind of a man he is. No the reasons given above are the only 2 reasons people voted for him. Untill someone can show me and prove to me that I am wrong I will continue to fight against his destructive policies.
