[ManNamedTruth]

I'm sick of my nephews borrowing my stuff and not telling me and then I realize months later that stuff is missing. My nephew who is home from the marines cause he got pneumonia, has my Black Star CD and J5 Power In Numbers. They've been gone for months and if he wouldn't have gotten sick then I have no idea when I would've seen him next. And I think my other nephew has my old school pitt shirt:

Yeah, I felt that as well. It felt like a real loss somehow. And the tag line thing:
Everyone

Wow!
(I think I got it right)

[The Big Come Up]

I don't mean to get real political or anything, but this has been really making me angry all day.

my current complaint: Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson  >:(

Im not a racist in the slightest, and im not complaining about african-americans in anyway. I am simply complaining about these two guys and those around him who are nothing more that poilitcal extortionists who feed the fire of racial divisons. The last two days have made me realized how screwed up the recent operations of these two "leaders" have been.
This all started with Imus' extremly racists comments that I believe are horrible, but I don't think he deserves to get fired for them. He's never really had a racist record up and till now, and from what Ive seen he, unlike Michael Richards, was simply taking banter too far and didn't realize really what he had said. A 2 week suspension I think is adequate, and as Charles Barkley put it, "a person shouldn't get fired for saying one stupid thing."
But of course, as soon as the words came from his mouth, Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson jump on Imus in no time at all. I can understand pointing it out, and condeming it, but what these two men do is not better the situation, its fuel the fire and make it increasingly worse. They say its part of a massive media dislike of African Americans, and trot around like the leaders of all African Americans, demanding that Imus apoligize not to the team that was offended, but to THEM. Is that not flawed? Like they put it on South Park recently, "Jesse Jackson is not the president of black people."
But it all turned today I think. Earlier, it was announced that all charges against the three Duke Lacrosse players who had been accused of rape were to be cleared of all charges. As you might remember, when this story broke, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton led the charge against these boys like they were the reincarnation of Adolf Hitler. Sure, if it had been true then the verbal-attacks would have been warranted, but all along most who looked at the case could see it most likely was not. Not Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson though, nope, they carried on and rallied people around hate, not compassion or equality, but hate of three average, white, males who had been accused of rape. But today, those three boys have been exonerated, but their reputations are forever scared. Why? They were treated like demons by Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Wheres there apology? Why won't Sharpton and Jackson apologize to three innocent guys whose repuations, academic and athletic lives they hurt so much? Why? Because they knew they screwed it up. If they were really the leaders they say they are, they would be on the first flight to Durham to apologize.
Listen, I know Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson did great things for African-Americans and the civil rights movement and in the 60s and 70s, helped make great strides for our country. Its sad though, becuase both have become not leaders who aim to unite people, instead they jump on any racial issue (ie Imus, Duke), and cause division. Its a shame that they are viewed as the leaders of african americans, when its pretty clear that 99% are not politically motivated racial extortionists who currently hinder race relations, not help them.
Thank you for listening too my rant, and i needed to get that off my chest. keep in mind that I am simply complaining about these two men and their current situation, nothing more.

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

Imus should be fired if for no other reason than the women of the world should be pissed that he (who is clearly digging for a ratings increase by saying these things) debased a group of them on the air, regardless of their skin color.  It's a touchy feely world, replete with You Tube that instantly replays unfortunate comments over and over again that would have most likely been lost in the sauce in the near past.  

Now, your comments on Sharpton/Jackson are obviously thoughtful, and to a degree I believe the two of them are clearly digging for "ratings" per se that keeps them in the public eye, but I wouldn't write them off totally as "nothing more that poilitcal extortionists who feed the fire of racial divisons".    As de facto leaders, they ain't perfect, but they've done a lot to keep their issues in our society's crosshairs, and for that, they deserve some kudos.  Who the hell else has done that?  Barak Obama?  Oprah?

does it ever, you know, get better?

i have been doing the full-time work ("real world") thing now for the past five months, and i am not happy. i love my job, but i loathe the routine. i hate feeling so tied down by something. all i do is work. 8am to 5pm. every. single. day. i basically live for the weekend, because it's the only time i can live life on my terms.

i don't know if i am just an immature asshole or if it is like this for everyone else, but i feel so stifled. my life is predictable, administered--each day identical to the last.

does it get any better? do you learn to love the routine, or is it something to which you must resign yourself?

i mean, i know the rest of my life is going to be my career, and i am happy with that... but i don't know if i can handle the same thing every day for the rest of forever.

8am to 5pm. Repeat.
8am to 5pm. Repeat.

maybe i just need to take a road trip or something? :-? :-? :-?

Mine is the same day in day out. 6-5 everyday. Reports in the morning (and I must remember to use the correct cover sheets for those TPS reports), meetings, and put out fires all day.

I've found it doesn't seem to get much better, at least it hasn't in the last 10 years

Being in high school, this kind of thing scares me every day. I refuse to be "boxed up" in some corporate job with no value, but most talkers I know call this the only option. I want a job that matters, not a money job, but I also want some freedom with what I do. Some people these days act like such jobs don't exist or are otherwise undesirable.

I'm a nine-to-fiver and have been for a very long time.  There's not a lot you can do about it if, like me, you're too worried to not have that steady paycheck and are two away from the streets.  I think I would have a heart attack if I had to rely on freelance work or the like, but that's just the way I'm made.  I've worked in firms that made me feel horrible and worthless and while I made pretty damn good money and spent money like it was growing on trees, I was miserable, felt like a small person and finally grew some huevos and left.  I've since found the same kind of job (legal secretary) with a firm that is sooo great and has a conscience and is civically (sp?) minded and responsible toward its employees, and while the pay is somewhat less I'm much, much happier.   I think the secret is to not get complacent or afraid, and always keep your options open.  You never know what might happen around the corner and change is usually, if not always, for the better!!

i'm a 7:30-3:30 (and sometimes many more hours) worker. being a teacher rules my face but it can be so hard. however, i try to keep it fun on the weekends and do something fun on sunday so it doesn't seem like that dark, depressing day before monday. one thing i've learned is to take care of myself during the hardest crunch times. i indulge in things like massages and pedicures. they make me feel better, i have the extra money to spend now, and it's something to look forward to in MY BORING LIFE.
