Well, my day started yesterday with getting a call from my prospective new employer telling me that I failed the drug screening. Wha???? Well, it turns out that I tested positive for significant amounts of codeine. *Whew* I could explain that. I had surgery in January. and that was my pain-reliever. So, everything gets squared away, and they want me to start today at 10am. Great. Not so fast. They call back later, and want me to come in RIGHT AWAY. So, on no notice, I go to work, get there at 3pm. I find out that I have to stay until 3am! WTF have I gotten myself into? I will have to work Saturday this week too. My normal work hours are 4pm-2:15am. This sucks SO hard. It isn't hard work per se, but it is FAST. They push hard. and are not afraid to fire people. I find myself praying to get laid off in a few months, which will probably happen, since one of the lines is ending in June. Not to sound like a Public Service Announcement or anything, but "Kids, make sure you stay in School!" Believe me,factory work is NOT the way you want to go. On top of the great hours, and glorious working conditions, you get the oh-so-fun knowledge that your time is almost guaranteed to be short, because factories close so fast in this day and age. If you'll all excuse me, I am going to take my cyanide capsule! (Okay, I'm actually just getting ready for work. Happy, happy. Joy, Joy.)

Okay, stealing an idea from Maddie45, if anyone wants a gmail invite, let me know. I have 50 to give.
I apparently have a new job now. *Sigh* Yup. Out of the blue, a factory called me to ask me if I wanted to interview. I was torn, because I have been having a lot of fun with my "hanging out" ;) at the comic shop, but I only have a couple months left of unemployment, and I won't have to pay anything for the insurance, which SOME wife desperately needs. So, I guess I have to take it. *Weeps*
In OTHER news...I got my new PSP today. Hoo doggy is it purty. It's about the same size as the original Gameboy Advance, but the screen takes up most of the face. The graphics are just a sliver away from the PS2's, quality-wise. Compare that to the GBA which is about equivalent to the SNES, which came out in the early 90s. Now, I just have to get a bigger memory card, so I can download some movies and a bunch of MP3s.
So, is anyone else psyched to see Sin City?

SOOOOO, we'll do laundry tomorrow. What does that mean to you? Apparently SOME people have different definitions of it. Apparently to some people it means make plans to go hang out at their friend's house, but "you can do it if you want." Bah. Hopefully, people who think like that won't make the lame excuse that forgot, because they posted it on their lj this moring. Some people did.

I think I KNOW the answer to that question more often than not lately. I just haven't been feeling it, Livejournal-wise. I am trying to do my best tonight though. I have some new friends on here that have never experienced that special joy that can only come with reading a Ken entry. (A Ken Entry kinda sounds like a porno by the way. Just thought I'd mention that.) Can someone tell me exactly when the time is that I'm going to miss working? It's definitely NOT happening yet! At all. I am ready to consider a life of leisure I think. All I need is a Sugar Mama. Ladies? Any volunteers? ;) Just my luck, my female readership consists of lesbians, my wife, my friends' wives, or people who are equally as impoverished as I am. I'm thinking that my search is going to be pretty fruitless. Ah well. At least this way I don't have to worry about the old dick in the blender syndrome when Lisa finds out I have a Sugar Mama.
Had a pretty good scare recently. A friend of mine collapsed right before my and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) book_of_sick's eyes. Cracked her head pretty good too. Definitely freaked us right the Hell out. Luckily, she seems to be doing better now. All I know is, I am going to carry a taser gun with me from now on, and if someone tries walkiing out of the ER before they are taken care of, I'm zapping them!
Just to let everybody know, I have been yelled at in the past because generally I only write about dorky stuff (go figure) on here, like comics and video games. I have made an effort not to bore everybody with that stuff on here as much lately. Thus, most of that stuff goes to more appropriate places, thus I rarely have anything else to say on here. I'll try to do a LITTLE better about updating though. If there is enough of an uproar I might even start mentioning some of my Dork Topics on here again. DO try to contain your excitement! :P

This just makes me smile. I hope that this is a much-needed shot in the arm for the Democratic Party. It doesn't need to try to pretend to be Rebublican Lite anymore. Be true to the ideals that have always been the heart of the Democratic Party's beliefs. Heck, maybe a Democrat could actually admit to being *gasp* a LIBERAL now! Dean is one of the few politicians I actually respect. He might be high-strung, but damn it, he says what he thinks, and he stands up for what he believes. Mistakes were made in the last election, and we didn't get W out, but this could ultimately end up weakening the conservatives hold on power in Washington. Bush is angering a lot of people already (not those of us who have been angry all along), with Social Security and all of his other hare-brained schemes. Now, shoould people have known he was going to do these things? Yes, he SAID he was. Too late to change that though. Just hopefully some momentum will be gained from the disillusionment that a lot of people who voted for him are feeling now. Well, I am in danger of having a gargantuan post here, because this is something I'm passionate about. So, I'm just going to end this now. Welcome, Mr. Dean. Good luck. I'm glad you got the job!.

Let's do the time warp again! That's been my life lately. It is so funny that 15+ years later, I am back at my ORIGINAL job out of High School. Still though, all in all, it's cool. Dealing with comic books and comic book fans again is pretty neat. I haven't done it enough yet to have it feel like work. This is a good thing. Also, since this is just "supplementary" income, I don't at all feel stress if Jim starts wigging out. If he got like he was back in the day, I'd just tell him to shove it up his cornhole. It's kinda strange seeing everyone else get their medicinal treatments though, and not being able to be treated myself. Oh well. At some point, I'll get a new job, and won't have to worry about these things anymore.
I have to apologize to book_of_sick though. I think that my writhing in agony might have had something to do with her inability to sleep this morning. I choose to blame whoever that bastard was that pounded the rusty, white-hot railroad spike between my eyes. You never realize that you've never had a migraine before until you've TRULY had a migraine. I definitely have even more sympathy for Lu now. There is no way that you could possibly function with one of these. I generally handle pain fine, but I genuinely could focus on nothing but the pain and not vomitting. Nice, I know.

bbluejenn117 sent me this in an email, but I think I want to share it with all of you. Maybe someone will randomly stumble on my journal and learn something. I really don't know how we fight these people, other than (risking sounding like a broken record here); we vote. THEY are going to. If we don't, they get to decide for us what our priorities are. Now THAT is scary.
One of the biggest changes in politics in my lifetime is that the delusional is no longer marginal. It has come in from the fringe, to sit in the seat of power in the Oval Office and in Congress. For the first time in our history, ideology and theology hold a monopoly of power in Washington. Theology asserts propositions that cannot be proven true; ideologues hold stoutly to a worldview despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as reality. When ideology and theology couple, their offspring are not always bad but they are always blind. And there is the danger: voters and politicians alike, oblivious to the facts. Remember James Watt, President Ronald Reagan's first secretary of the interior? My favorite online environmental journal, the ever-engaging Grist, reminded us recently of how James Watt told the U.S. Congress
that protecting natural resources was unimportant in light of the imminent return of Jesus Christ. In public testimony he said, "after the last tree is felled, Christ will come back." Beltway elites snickered. The press corps didn't know what he was
talking about. But James Watt was serious. So were his compatriots out across
the country. They are the people who believe the Bible is literally true -- one-third of the American electorate, if a recent Gallup poll is accurate.
In this past election several million good and decent citizens went to
the polls believing in the rapture index. That's right -- the rapture index. Google it and you will find that the best-selling books in America today are the 12 volumes of the "Left
Behind" series written by the Christian fundamentalist and religious-right warrior Timothy LaHaye. These true believers subscribe to a fantastical theology concocted in the 19th century by a couple of immigrant preachers who took disparate passages from the Bible and wove them into a narrative that has captivated the imagination of millions of Americans. Its outline is rather simple, if bizarre (the British writer George Monbiot recently did a brilliant dissection of it and I am indebted to him for adding to my own understanding): Once Israel has occupied the rest of its "biblical lands," legions of the antichrist will attack it, triggering a final showdown in the valley of Armageddon.
As the Jews who have not been converted are burned, the messiah will return for the rapture. True believers will be lifted out of their clothes and transported to Heaven, where, seated next to the right hand of God, they will watch their political and religious opponents suffer plagues of boils, sores, locusts and frogs during the several years of tribulation that follow.
I'm not making this up. Like Monbiot, I've read the literature. I've reported on these people, following some of them from Texas to the West Bank. They are sincere, serious and polite as they tell you they feel called to help bring the rapture on as fulfillment of biblical prophecy. That's why they have declared solidarity with Israel and the Jewish settlements and backed up their support with money and volunteers. It's why the invasion of Iraq for them was a warm-up act, predicted in the Book of Revelations where four angels "which are bound in the great river Euphrates will be released to slay the third part of man." A war with Islam in the Middle East is not something to be feared but welcomed --an essential conflagration on the road to redemption. The last time I
Googled it, the rapture index stood at 144 -- just one point below the critical threshold when the whole thing will blow, the son of God will return, the righteous will enter Heaven and sinners will be condemned to eternal hellfire.
So what does this mean for public policy and the environment? Go to Grist to read a remarkable work of reporting by the journalist Glenn Scherer "The Road to Environmental Apocalypse." Read it and you will see how millions of Christian fundamentalists may believe that environmental destruction is not only to be disregarded but actually welcomed -- even hastened -- as a sign of the coming apocalypse.
As Grist makes clear, we're not talking about a handful of fringe lawmakers who hold or are beholden to these beliefs. Nearly half the U.S. Congress before the recent election -- 231 legislators in total and more since the election -- are backed by the religious right. Forty-five senators and 186 members of the 108th Congress earned 80 to 100 percent approval ratings from the three most influential Christian right advocacy groups. They include Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, Assistant Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Conference Chair Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, Policy Chair Jon Kyl of Arizona, House Speaker Dennis Hastert and Majority Whip Roy Blunt. The only Democrat to score 100 percent with the Christian coalition was Sen. Zell Miller of Georgia, who recently quoted from the biblical book of Amos on the Senate floor: "The days will come, sayeth the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land." He seemed to be relishing the thought. And why not? There's a constituency for it. A 2002 Time-CNN poll found that 59 percent of Americans believe that the prophecies found in the book of Revelations are going to come true. Nearly one-quarter think the Bible predicted the 9/11 attacks. Drive across the country with your radio tuned to the more than 1,600 Christian radio stations, or in the motel turn on some of the 250 Christian TV stations, and you can hear some of this end-time gospel. And you will come to understand why people under the spell of such potent prophecies cannot be expected, as Grist puts it,
"to worry about the environment. Why care about the earth, when the
droughts, floods, famine and pestilence brought by ecological collapse are signs of the apocalypse foretold in the Bible? Why care about global climate change when you and yours will be rescued in the rapture? And why care about converting from oil to solar when the same God who performed the miracle of the loaves and fishes can whip up a few billion barrels of light crude with a word?" Because these people believe that until Christ does return, the Lord will provide. One of their texts is a high school history book, "America's Providential History." You'll find there these words: "The secular or socialist has a limited-resource mentality and views the world as a pie..... that needs to be cut up so everyone can get a piece." However, "[t]he Christian knows that the potential in God is unlimited and that there is no shortage of resources in God's earth ... while many secularists view the world as overpopulated, Christians know that God has made the earth sufficiently large with plenty of resources to accommodate all of the people."
No wonder Karl Rove goes around the White House whistling that militant hymn, "Onward Christian Soldiers." He turned out millions of the foot soldiers on Nov. 2, including many who have made the apocalypse a powerful driving force in modern American politics.
It is hard for the journalist to report a story like this with any credibility. So let me put it on a personal level. I myself don't know how to be in this world without expecting a confident future and getting up every morning to do what I can to bring it about. So I have always been an optimist. Now, however, I think of my friend on Wall Street whom I once asked: "What do you think of the market?"I'm optimistic," he answered. "Then why do you look so worried?" And he answered: "Because I am not sure my optimism is justified." I'm not, either. Once upon a time I agreed with Eric Chivian and the Center for Health and the Global Environment that people will protect the natural environment when they realize its importance to their health and to the health and lives of their children. Now I am not so sure. It's not that I don't want to believe that -- it's just that I read the news and connect the dots. I read that the administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has declared the election a mandate for President Bush on the environment. This for an administration: That wants to rewrite the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act protecting rare plant and animal species and their habitats, as well as the National Environmental Policy Act, which requires the government to judge beforehand whether actions might damage natural resources. That wants to relax pollution limits for ozone; eliminate vehicle tailpipe inspections, and ease pollution standards for cars, sport-utility vehicles and diesel-powered big trucks and heavy equipment. That wants a new international audit law to allow corporations to keep certain information about environmental problems secret from the public. That wants to drop all its new-source review suits against polluting, coal-fired power plants and weaken consent decrees reached earlier with coal companies. That wants to open the Arctic [National] Wildlife Refuge to drilling
and increase drilling in Padre Island National Seashore, the longest stretch of undeveloped barrier island in the world and the last great coastal wild land in America.
I read the news just this week and learned how the Environmental Protection Agency had planned to spend $9 million -- $2 million of it from the administration's friends at the American Chemistry Council -- to pay poor families to continue to use pesticides in their homes. These pesticides have been linked to neurological damage in children, but
instead of ordering an end to their use, the government and the industry were going to offer the families $970 each, as well as a camcorder and children's clothing, to serve as guinea pigs for the study. I read all this in the news. I read the news just last night and learned that the administration's friends at the International Policy Network, which is supported by Exxon Mobil and others of like mind, have issued a new report that climate change is "a myth, sea levels are not rising" [and] scientists who believe catastrophe is possible are "an embarrassment." I not only read the news but the fine print of the recent appropriations bill passed by Congress, with the obscure (and obscene) riders attached to it: a clause removing all endangered species protections from pesticides; language prohibiting judicial review for a forest in Oregon; a waiver of
environmental review for grazing permits on public lands; a rider pressed by developers to weaken protection for crucial habitats in California. I read all this and look up at the pictures on my desk, next to the computer -- pictures of my grandchildren. I see the future looking back at me from those photographs and I say, "Father, forgive us, for we know not what we do." And then I am stopped short by the thought: "That's not right. We do know what we are doing. We are stealing their future. Betraying their trust. Despoiling their world." And I ask myself: Why? Is it because we don't care? Because we are greedy? Because we have lost our capacity for outrage, our ability to sustain indignation at injustice? What has happened to our moral imagination?
On the heath Lear asks Gloucester: "How do you see the world?" And Gloucester, who is blind, answers: "I see it feelingly.'" I see it feelingly. The news is not good these days. I can tell you, though, that as a journalist I know the news is never the end of the story. The news can be the truth that sets us free -- not only to feel but to fight for the
future we want. And the will to fight is the antidote to despair, the cure for cynicism, and the answer to those faces looking back at me from those photographs on my desk. What we need is what the ancient Israelites called hochma -- the science of the heart ... the capacity to see, to feel and then to act as if the future depended on you.
Believe me, it does.

I was just reading online (thanks to Kelli) about some crackpot Religious Watchdog Preacher who thinks that Spongebob is gay, and is crusading against the show now. You know what? Get a life. Even if on some oh-so-hidden level, there is some kinda nudge-nudge-wink-wink hidden hinting of Spongebob being gay, I defy you to show me a single child who has come away from watching that show thinking that. I would REALLY be amazed if one of these apparently oh-so worldly super-genius kids that does manage to decipher the subliminal gay coding that apparently runs through the tales of that pesky little sponge, actually gets converted to gayism (gayosity?) by it. Now, I can't be sure, because I'm not actually gay myself; but I'm fairly confident it doesn't work that way. This is probably just my tree-hugging liberal side showing through again, but I really don't believe that people make the conscious decision who they are attracted to. Although, it makes PERFECT sense to me that a teenage boy in Biblethump,Wyoming would just consciously decide to risk damnation (in the eyes of their churches), ostracism, and almost-sure run-ins with gay-bashers, because you know, Spongebob does it. It MUST be cool!!! How about a nice big glass of shut-the-fuck-up there, Churchy? People love who they love just because they do. Not because the Liberal Media tells them to. The whole thing just pisses me off. I'm sick of the Gay issue convincing otherwise sensible people to vote for a President whose policies they don't support or agree with. Because some gay people want the chance to be as miserably HAPPILY married as the rest of us? When the Hell did this become a Nation of legislating other people's moralities anyway? You know what else? Janet Jackson's nipple popped out. Boogity-boo. Get the fuck over it. Is that areola really signaling the collapse of our civilization? Do we really need Herr FCC Gestapo censoring our viewing choices back into the 50's? Cause I was thinking the only thing that REALLY should have come from that should have been running ALL live broadcasts on a 10 or 15 second delay. The offending nipple could have been stopped from polluting all of our minds that way, and Jerry Falwell wouldn't be reading the scripts of all future entertainment with a big red marker in his hands, "saving our children". The separation of Church and State happened for a reason, folks. It's wonderful that you choose to live your life by a certain moral code. I'm proud of you. That gives you absolutely ZERO right to tell me how to live my life though, and it definitely doesn't give you the authority to legislate how I live my life. The Culture War is on, kids. Believe that. Don't let the "Moral Majority" and their meat-puppet W., enforce their fundamentalist Religious right ideals on the rest of us. Stand up, speak out, and damn it, next time vote! Not just for the Presidential campaigns either. We have to start at the bottom and work our way up. Local, State, Congressional, and Senatorial races all have to be voted on. The Right is most definitely letting politicians know how THEY feel about things. We can't stay silent and meekly allow ourselves to be bulled over. Not to sound too much like Rage Against the Machine here, but we have to take the power back. Pick the hill that you are willing to die on and fight. I'm done. Continue with your normally scheduled surfing.

Wow. Kinda forgot I had one of these dang ole live journals! It's beem awhile since i posted, i know. So what's going on in the non-stop action movie that is Ken's Life? Well, let's see... I am officially unemployed now. My last day was December 23rd. I couldn't really tell you how it feels yet though, because I always have a couple of weeks off at this time of the year. Maybe this week, it'll start to sink in.
I have continued my adventures at the dentist I have officially had a filling in every single tooth I own I think (slight exaggeration). I also got the immense pleasure of having my first root canal, which i highly recommend to everyone. Now, the crown which I'll be getting on that tooth that had the root canal SHOULD be the last work I need for a while. I really don't think I'm going to wait 33 years for my next dentist visit!
The Holidays were nice and peaceful this year. I got great stuff, I spent some quality time with family and friends. I have no complaints at all.except for the damned cold that I had from Christmas day until, well, I still have it actually. Thanks a lot book_of_sick! Talk about the gift that keeps on giving.
I am going to have surgery this wednesday, 1-05-2005 (!). I'm getting my uvula and tonsils removed, as well as some skin reshaped in the back of my throat, and my septum is being reshaped, AND my nasal passages are being widened. Stupid sleep apnea!!!!! That will buy me my first ever overnight stay in the hospital too. Not looking forward to THAT. Ah well. It'll be nice to be able to breathe better, and hopefully my snoring will lessen, for Lisa's sake, if nothing else.

I was never a big conspiracy theory kind of guy before 2000, but jeez. How the Hell do you shut down the polls and not allow media oversight of the vote tally in Warren County, Ohio because of "Homeland Security concerns"? WTF?!?
