Episode 17 is up and running

Well..  I still haven’t had much time for the old blog.   Being under the weather and now having a defunct iPod were the culprits, I swear!!!  At least I was able to make time for the podcast, right?  I’ll try to write something in here between the next recording but for now you can at least hear my thoughts in audio form.  Enjoy!!

Greg Palast’s “Theft of the 2008 Election” on youtube

Once seeing as how Greg Palast put his news special on youtube (I only heard it in audio form in Democracy Now!) I couldn’t help but post it on this blog as well to continue spreading the word.  For your viewing pleasure:

Part 1:

Part 2:

Don’t let your right to vote be taken from you

I was listening to yesterday’s podcast episode of Democracy Now! when a particular news segment began to infuriate me.  They were talking about how the voting system is being rigged by both the Democrats and the Republicans to suit their needs.  I found this very appalling and felt this story should reach the masses.  I’m doing my part by mass emailing people the link to this story and posting it on twit and on the forums that I linger on.  I will also be discussing this on an upcoming podcast episode of my how and of course post the link here as well.  There is no reason people should be in the dark on this story.  Everyone should have their right to vote and not have their voice suppressed by some hucksters in the political machine.

Standing in front of the Crossroads: Career vs. Job

I just recently watched the Chris Rock Special: “Kill The Messenger,” and on top of cracking me up in fits of laughter it did make me stop and re-examine myself.  He had a bit that was differentiating the differences between having a job and having a career and it definitely struck a chord within me.  I mean I know this isn’t something completely new to me.  I am currently working another job with no real future prospects at my current position and not really seeing a future for myself in the vocation I am doing.  So what does the future hold for me?  I’ve been asking myself since watching the Chris Rock Special.

I’m 31 and tired of the 9-5 grind.  I would love to have a career doing something I love but what is it?  I used to doodle a lot in high school and had childhood aspirations of being a comic book artist.  While in college I did fancy myself a writer.  So do I now have the chutzpah to pursue those dreams and make them a reality?  I’m not quite sure.  I will at least try to make a commited effort to write something on this blog daily.  Even if it’s just a commentary on the latest viral video meme plaguing the internet LOL.  Who knows maybe I’ll have a book idea to start on come 2009.  Only time will tell.  At least I’m also working my creative juices doing a semi-weekly podcast so maybe with these two creative outlets something will come out of it.
