Why Occupy Wall Street Is A Good Thing

There is a new(ish) movement out there called Occupy Wall Street. They have come out with a list of one demands (yes, that is pluralized correctly), and are taking up a good bit of the news. Their main message, as far as I can tell, is that they're angry and they want something done about it.

Here is OWS's problem, they don't have a consistent viewpoint. Anyone who can speak intelligently in support of the movement does not speak about any of their "one demands". The mass majority of the supporters are just a mob of angry people. They don't really quite know why they're angry, but they do know that the others around them are angry, and they are finally fitting in with the crowd. For their whole lives they've wanted to be different, just like everyone else, and now they are achieving that goal.

Here is what I was getting to with the title of this post: self nomination. If somebody identifies themselves as part of this movement, I can safely choose to ignore any economic or social rhetoric they spew and not have wasted any of my time. As a matter of fact, they would have saved me the time and effort of listening to them because of their self nomination. That's not to say I won't listen, I'm always up for telling someone they're wrong, but at least now I can make an informed decision.

I Created This For A Reason

I realize it's been a long while, but recent events have given me cause to vent. In short they are my neighbor, and Luddites. I will explain those, I just had to write it down before The Rage takes over and I pass out.

First off, my neighbor. I'm not quite sure what has happened in the apartment adjacent to mine, but it can't be good. At first, he was quiet. Then, he got a girlfriend. That wasn't so bad, you could hear her talk every now and then but oh well. What do you expect when you live in an apartment. After a short time, no more girl voices were heard and the cursing started. I assumed that he had lost his girlfriend as was sad. I hoped that it was a phase that he'd get through. I was wrong. About a month later came the sounds of another girl. At least, a assume it was a different girl. The first one wasn't around for long enough for me to remember what she sounded like. The weird thing was, though, that the cursing did not stop. In fact, it got worse and he developed a new habit of channeling Brett "The Hitman" Heart. I'm hoping that someone snaps his Slim Jim.

Today I was talking to a lady on the phone and she asked me to fax her something. I explained that I do not have access to a fax machine currently but would be happy to email it to her. She stated that she preferred fax, but would take the email anyway. Upon receiving the document she had to check some information. She had to make sure that there was a number 4 in the bottom right hand corner of the document. I was told to wait while she printed it out so she could check. I'm not quite sure what computer system she was using, but I do know that most operating systems come with some type of "viewer" such as MS Word. Oh wait, I think I just figured it out. She was using a CLI and couldn't open the attachment. How silly of me.

Obama's History

It turns out I was wrong about the history of our nation. I've come to this conclusion by listening to our president. Mr. Obama says that the reason he's not doing anything about Iran or any of the other conflicts around the world is that he is trying to promote the American ideology of the Democratic Process. This is where I seem to be mistaken on my history. I thought that at the birth of our nation we had some sort of war in which we kicked some British booty and said, "We're staying on this side of the pond and ruling ourselves." Apparently it was more like, "So, guys, we voted, you're out." and the British said, "Fair enough, we're glad you put it to a vote." They then boarded their boats and yelled "Hurrah Democracy!" as they sailed back home. I knew my history books were bound to be a little off, but I had no idea it was this bad.

Looking For Another Job

I've not so recently decided that it is time for me to find another source of income. I would like to start a company that all my friends could work for because my friends have a myriad of talents that would lend themselves well to working for me. That's right, your talents just got personified. Anyway, if any of the 5 people who read this have any ideas for something that we can do in our free time, let me know. Also, if any of you want to start learning web development with an emphasis on Java, that'd help the plans I already have in place.

Just the Beginning

Late, but this needs to be on the site.
