Justice Souter

Wed, 06 May 2009 20:41:11 GMT

A word on Justice Souter’s Retirement:

To the President:

Well done man, this came out a nowhere and its good so don’t fuck it up. First and foremost, I don’t need to tell you that choosing a Supreme Court Justice is probably one of the most important decisions you will make as president. Having said that, we all know that Souter is one of the more liberal justices and obviously anybody you pick will be about the same. The makeup of the court wont be affected at all when it comes to important rulings: You will be replacing a liberal judge with a liberal judge. This bad in the sense that it’s a shame one of the more conservative judges isn’t retiring because then you would be able to change the outcome of future rulings (I personally would like to see that fucktard, Scalia, go). This is good because you can make sure that Souter’s replacement is young and thereby making sure that he/she stays on the bench for a long time. It also gives you the opportunity to do something I would not normally be cool with, but in this situation its kind of ok, and that is playing politics with this nomination.

We all know Souter held this off until you were in office in order to avoid placing another nomination on Bush’s lap and I don’t think he’s the only one who held off. Now you want a justice with real “life” experience, that’s good but remember that it doesn’t matter who you pick if that person is not confirmable under the current situation in the Senate. Go left but not too crazy left. I know you also want to nominate a minority to the court and that you’re keeping in mind what Ginsberg said about how one woman on the bench is not enough, I agree.

To the Republicans:

Guys stop acting like idiots. The truth is that your are in a nasty situation. You have no leader, you have no platform, you have no message and you went so far right that your only remaining base is your hardcore conservatives. And guess what, you might come hurt either way. The way I see it Obama is going to nominate a Hispanic woman to the court, its just going to happen. If you don’t seat her, and I can already hear your stupid justifications for not confirming a female minority judge echoing in the halls, then that’s it. If you don’t seat her then the Hispanic vote is lost. You took it for granted in 2000 and 2004 and as a result of that and your stupid immigration and healthcare policies you lost a huge chunk of it in 2008. Denying the seat would be the last blow. If you do seat her then your base is going to rip you apart for doing so. Maybe you shouldn’t have put all of your eggs in one basket huh?! You need to become more moderate if you want your party to survive and judging by the verbatim I keep reading about and listening to coming from you guys, you still haven’t learned the lesson.

To Everybody:

Pay attention. Just because Obama nominated someone doesn’t mean you should just agree blindly. Do your own research. I personally would prefer it if the best of the best was considered, not just women minority judges. What if the best choice isn’t even looked at because he’s a man? I would like to see a female Hispanic on the court but not if that means that we didn’t in the end choose the best we had.

New Orleans trip

Sun, 19 Apr 2009 03:15:28 GMT

Alright,

I just got back from Seattle not more than 2 hours ago, man I love that town.

I took some shots and I'll post those later.

In the mean time check out the shots i took on my trip to New Orleans last month.

HERE you go, that is all.

I'm Back

Sun, 05 Apr 2009 06:11:52 GMT

Well guys I'm back. Does anybody ever use LJ anymore? I remember when myspace came about, I was very resistant to the idea of jumping off the LJ ship. It was very stubborn but finally I gave in and traded in....I have seldom written in my journal since. Now written entries have been replaced by the infamous "myspace pose" in which you hold the camera a full arms length, facing you, and just make a stupid face and click.

Anyways, if anybody still thinks LJ is worth something, let me know. For now I'll continue writing in this thing until I get disillusioned or something.

PS. I quit Officemax a couple of days ago. My hours were getting cut so I got a job in a familiar coffee setting. Me and Chris also separated. I don't know if we'll get back together after all of the stuff that happened between us. I'm not saying I wont try. But if he's going to be dating around I might as well too. I'm opening a match.com profile, so if anybody wants to hang out let me know.

That's it for tonight.

What the hell Kerry!

Fri, 29 Aug 2008 00:43:21 GMT

All I gotta say is WOW!
Really Kerry? Really? You have got to be shitting me. Where was this side of you four years ago? I supported your campaign financially, I bought merchandise (I still have my Kerry 2004 Ringer shirt that I never wore cuz I bought it one size too small or I just got too fat to wear… its hard to tell) and spent hours in phone banks for you. I studied your position on every issue so that I would be able to argue on your behalf all the while knowing that there was something about you that I couldn’t defend. If your speeches back then were anything close to the one you delivered ant the DNC then we would probably be in a different situation right now. I mean you blew me and my expectations away with that speech, and I know I’m not alone in that regard. I saw the anger, the frustration, and the sincerity, and I saw you fight back. I guess somewhere along the way it finally clicked in you, but its too late now man. Why didn’t you respond to those infamous swiftboat ads with the same passion you showed me last nigh? That really sucks, you could have saved us from four extra years of Bush, but the past is the past and there’s nothing you can do about it now. Great speech Kerry

Biden Baby

Sun, 24 Aug 2008 08:22:27 GMT

Haven’t posted in a long time.

Finally Obama has come to his senses. Ever since Clinton dropped out of the race (and probably before) I have been making the case that Biden would be the perfect V.P. While the media was running with the idea that Clinton supporters would sit this election out or vote for McCain rather than Obama, I knew and said that it was just a matter of giving the Clinton backers some time to come to their senses..I was right. I knew Biden was perfect.Think about it, He brings to the table the areas where Obama is lacking, and it took a lot for Obama to admit he wasn’t strong on Foreign Policy by selecting Biden (something he wouldn’t even admit when McCain was heckling him over it.) But in the end I’m glad it turned out the way it did, with an Obama/Biden ticket I’m even more pumped. You know what would be even better that this? If McCain selected Lieberman as his V.P. because then we could use the “Republicans have this country so deep in it that even McCain decided to run with a Democrat.” And you know that would stick.

In other news, since I last wrote I have been working at Office Max. It’s nothing great but money is money. I let registration slip my mind so as a result I will not be attending any classes this fall. But that’s ok because I plan to keep myself busy with a trip to New Mexico, the inevitable task of getting my license, and starting my own business…a business that isn’t really a business because its going to end up costing me money instead of earning me money, but more about that later.

I gotta go to sleep, Peace!

Writer's Block: Lame jobs

What's the worst job you've ever had?

Dishwasher at a Mexican Food restaurant. All of the pots had 1 inch thick grease on them. At the end of the night I dumped all of that grease into a stinky barrel...I broke out like crazy.

Incest

Sat, 17 May 2008 00:10:14 GMT

So I’m sitting in the airport waiting for my flight just minding my own business. There’s this guy in front of me talking on the phone really loudly. Then I hear him say (to his son on the phone, I assume) “By the way Neiomi is thrilled to bits that you accepted her Facebook invitation, I have no idea what that means, but if it means incest with your sister you know thats not allowed!” I just smirked a little. The best part is that he looks and sounds like Wilford Brimley from the Liberty Medical commercial.

Final

Fri, 09 May 2008 16:42:24 GMT

I feel kind of bad about my Psychology class. I took my final online last night and I got a final class grade of a B. Yeah and I only read 4 chapters out of a 20 chapter book. In fact, I didn’t even fully read the chapters, only partially. That’s the downside to an “on-line” class for me, It’s so easy for me to just cheat my way through it. At this moment as I’m typing this, I can honestly tell you that I learned absolutely nothing. But what’s done is done so stick it up your ass Freud…I need a nap.

New Power Chord

Thu, 01 May 2008 09:02:01 GMT

My power-chord has been falling apart for a while now and I’m afraid that one of these days its gonna shock my ass to hell. It seems to get really hot when I’m using it to charge my laptop, I don’t think it did that before. I don’t even wanna leave it near anything flammable like on top of the couch, for instance.

I need a new one but they retail for $79 on Apple. I looked around and I can get it for $40 on ebay. I don’t have that kind of money but I might just have to bite the bullet….I think I’ll just wait until it kills my cheap ass. Look for me in the obituaries a week from now, I’ll be the one under the caption “Freak laptop accident”.

Dammit!

In other news, Look at me holding Soren with approval.

Tattoo

Tue, 29 Apr 2008 19:04:58 GMT

Ok I need some help.

I was thinking of getting another tattoo but I’m not too sure. I already have this one on my arm and I was thinking of getting this one semi-big on my back…..but is that too many peace doves? Let me know. I wonder how much that would cost.

In other news, if Cal Worthington doesn’t either die or stop making commercials like this….I’m just going to kill him (don’t sue me Cal, I’m just kidding). The fucker has been making these since the this one on my arm and I was thinking of getting 80's…and they’re just as annoying now as they were then.

Should I get the tattoo?

Yes
No

Trying to Study

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 22:32:52 GMT

I’m sitting here in my hotel room in Chicago trying to study but I can’t! You wanna know why? Because my hotel is right by the airport and every 5 minutes one of the big fuckers takes off! I have a term paper due today damn it!

In other news, look at THIS. I found it while I was walking through the halls of the local grocery store (I do that sometimes when I’m bored, don't you?).

Sean and Keaela had their baby a week ago. Kaela went into labor April 4th at night-time but didn’t have the baby until the morning of April 5th. That same day we went to visit them. here is the video.

Las Vegas

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 21:08:15 GMT

Chris and I spent the last week in Vegas. You know that time-share crap that you get in the mail telling you that they’ll give you free shit no strings attached as long as you listen to an hour long presentation, well that’s what we did. They gave us two nights at a hotel on the strip for free. Chris had a meeting in Vegas anyways so his work paid for two more nights at the MGM Grand. It was an almost free trip! Unless you count the fact that we actually did buy a time-share, in which case this was the most expensive trip I’ve ever been on. Ann even flew in to stay with us for a while and practically gambled all of her money. I took some pictures too.

Toilet

Fri, 28 Mar 2008 07:28:38 GMT

I was sitting on the toilet this morning enjoying my “thinking time” when it came time to end the session, that’s when I realized there was no more t.p. “no biggie” I thought, I had done this before and there’s always more under the sink…..but there wasn’t any. I started freaking out because the only person home was my roommate and I wasn’t going to call him to bring me paper. I also wasn’t gonna walk upstairs with shit on my ass to get the extra roll! I started thinking about how long I was going to have to sit there…I started eyeing the hand towels, the reading material, my boxers even. I was beginning to feel a little MacGyver-ish. Then I turned around for some reason and saw it there. It was right behind me the whole time on top of the toilet water tank. Somebody got a new roll and didn’t bother to put it on its little spinning holder thing. Wiping my ass never felt so good. The lesson boys and girls: Make sure there’s toilet paper before you sit down to poop.

P.S. Just curious, what do you guys read while you’re in there? You should try reading this book, I read it every time I’m in there.

Chuck Norris

Thu, 20 Mar 2008 05:24:13 GMT

While Sean and I were sitting in my living room today he discovered something cool about Chuck Norris on Wikipedia. It turns out that his real first name is the same as mine, Carlos. That’s right, Chuck Norris and I have the same first name. And while I think his political views are shit it’s still kinda cool. So in honor of this recent revelation I gathered some of my favorite Chuck Norris jokes/facts. Chris told me not to post these jokes because he doesn’t think they’re funny, but I think they’re hilarious.

• They once made a Chuck Norris toilet paper, but it wouldn't take shit from anybody.

• Chuck Norris has counted to infinity. Twice.

• Chuck Norris can sneeze with his eyes open.

• If you have five dollars and Chuck Norris has five dollars, Chuck Norris has more money than you.

• Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

• There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of creatures Chuck Norris has allowed to live.

• Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.

• Chuck Norris is the reason why Waldo is hiding.

• Chuck Norris is so fast, he can run around the world and punch himself in the back of the head.

• Chuck Norris doesn’t wear a watch, HE decides what time it is.

• There is no 'ctrl' button on Chuck Norris's computer. Chuck Norris is always in control.

• Fact: Chuck Norris doesn't consider it sex if the woman survives.

• Chuck Norris frequently donates blood to the Red Cross. Just never his own.

• Chuck Norris does not wear a condom. Because there is no such thing as protection from Chuck Norris.

• Chuck Norris once roundhouse kicked someone so hard that his foot broke the speed of light, went back in time, and killed Amelia Earhart while she was flying over the Pacific Ocean.

• Rather than being birthed like a normal child, Chuck Norris instead decided to punch his way out of his mother's womb. Shortly thereafter he grew a beard.

• Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Chuck met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK's head exploded out of sheer amazement.

Old Spice

Mon, 17 Mar 2008 05:02:17 GMT

I’ve always been a sucker for good commercials and the power or advertisements work a little too well on me for my own good. If I see a really funny commercial I go out and buy the product, well as long as it’s something I would use (I’m not gonna go out and buy tampons just because of a funny tampon commercial.) So when I saw this Old Spice Hair & Body Wash commercial I just had to buy it.

You're Fired!

Fri, 07 Mar 2008 21:01:39 GMT

Well It Finally Happened, I got fired from Starbucks. It all started on Sean's for the video. last day. We had this tradition where we whip cream the hell out of the person who’s quitting on their last day...this time I recorded the event and posted it here (dumb move huh?). Well the video got all the way to my district manager and I got fired last week.

I’m not really all that mad because that means I can concentrate on school, but first I’ll apply a one or two places just to see if I can score a job.

Oh look what I just found. Flashback!

Dog Collar

Fri, 29 Feb 2008 07:33:34 GMT

So I bought one of those dog shocking collars for Roosevelt. I know what you’re thinking, I used to think the same thing. It’s cruel and mean and blah blah blah. Well I did some research and it really isn’t. I bought one because it was cheaper than taking him to dog training classes and besides I don’t have time to take him all the way to Ventura every week. The collar I bought has levels of intensity and the box says it doesn’t hurt the dog, in fact the feeling he will feel is the same you feel when you drag your feet on the carpet and then touch a door knob….I tried it on myself and its not painful because its not suppose to be. It’s only suppose to catch his attention but not shock him. So I don’t care what anybody thinks I’m going to start training him next week all by myself.

I’m finally back from Louisville and I really couldn’t be happier. You know that feeling you get on a Saturday night when you feel like there isn’t anything to do in town and you wished you lived somewhere more interesting, well once you go to the Midwest you wont ever feel like that again. There’s nothing like visiting a shitty city for a couple of days to make you see that your city isn’t as shitty after all.

As soon as we cam home from Louisville we left for San Diego. We took Ann with us this time. It’s a lot more interesting with her here because I usually just wait in the hotel room sleeping or studying until Chris gets off work and then we can go do something. We went to Harrah’s Casino today. If you ever walk around and think to yourself “hey I wonder where all the old people are” they’re at Harrah’s. Trust me is a geriatric mecca over there. You see it all: walkers, canes, slacks nipple high, blue q-tip shaped hair.

Well its getting late so I’m gonna go to bed now. Peace!

Tina Fey endorses Hillary

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 03:50:15 GMT

I know Hillary didn’t do as well as I had hoped last week in the CNN- Univison debate. Especially with the “change you can Xerox” comment. But I still have hope (man does that word get overused) she can turn this around, but she has to kick some ass in Texas and Ohio.

But wait, pay attention. As I will now change the mood with some good news. Take some notes go ahead, be inspired.

Tina Fey endorsed Hillary Clinton last Saturday while she guest-stared on SNL. Yup, I’m telling you this lady rocks. And like she said it’s not too late for Texas and Ohio.

Click HERE for the video.

Tue, 26 Feb 2008 03:14:58 GMT

Well I’m still here stuck in Lousy-ville. But you gotta make the best of it so Chris and I looked up something to do and found out that Lincoln’s birth town was just a couple of miles from here. So we jumed in the car and headed over there. Nothing really big, just a cabin that’s not even his and a really outdated movie presented by a severely Park Ranger.

So we left and headed back home stopping at little sad towns along the way. The scenery, let me tell you, was something else. Every time I looked up I either saw a cow, a Mc Donald’s, a church, or a disapproving look from a local. Churches were especially plentiful. To put it into prospective, think about how many gas stations are in your city and double or maybe even triple that number, that’s how many churches there are here. But mostly i just miles of this.

In other news I found this really funny Dunkin Donuts commercial that makes fun of Starbucks. At least I thought it was funny until I got to the end of the commercial and realized what it was about. All Starbucks’ will close tomorrow for 3-4 hours for some special meeting. While we’re closed Dunkin is trying to steal our customers with their stupid 99¢ latte special (which I’m sure tastes like crap). Can you believe the nerve? Other than that the commercial is pretty funny. I couldn’t find the commercial on youtube but it’s on dunkin’s website here.

Oh and one last bit of funny news, this was the cover of USA Today this morning. Funny or what!

Nader

Mon, 25 Feb 2008 03:54:38 GMT

Well I'm Louisville Kentucky now and let me tell you something, there isn't JACK SQUAT to do in this town. Maybe its because it’s a Sunday but Chris and I were driving around downtown and everything was closed……eeevvveerrryythiing. I’m used to everything being open on Sundays. I cant wait to leave.

I’ve been trying out this twitxr thing and its pretty cool. Basically, its like twitter but you can also post your location and a picture. I started using it yesterday and I posted from airports mostly. to see my twitxr click here. Oh and it can update your twitter too.

And if Lousy-ville wasn’t bad enough, Today my worst fear was confirmed. Yup you guessed it, Ralph Nader (that lame excuse for a human being) is running for president again. Look I’m all for third party candidates, or at least I’m all for a three party system in this country. But when Nader affected Gore’s win in 2000 I began to really resent that droopy faced asshole. More choices in candidates and parties keep politics alive. But if you’re gonna run for president you should make sure you have a chance of winning and Nader definetly has NO chance. All he’s gonna end up doing is taking votes away from the democratic candidate and that sucks especially if the election results for are really close. So fuck you Nader, fuck you very much.

Sean's Last Day
