Wow, where do I even start after 1 1/2 months of absence? lol Uhhh...I think you should just start the blog you doofus! Okay okay...sheesh I think sometimes it's a good exercise to put yourself down in the meanest way, that way when you're boss or some jerk does, I'll be like 'eh...that wasn't so bad. That was nothing, man! That was weak!' LOL Okay don't actually say that out loud.
So...by the way that was my attention-getter. When preparing a speech, you gotta have an attention-getter cause naturally we're pretty lazy when it comes to listening, so if I can start out getting attention, I should do fine. Yep, I'm in speech class. I have an Informational speech on Tuesday, which I'm totally looking forward to! Yes!
Okay, I'm not that excited about it. I'm only excited insomuch that I'm gaining the knowledge & experience of making speeches. Actually, I love this class compared to the one I took at Platt. At Platt it was waaay too rushed and NOT informative! In this class I'm actually learning how to gather info on the speech, the do's and don'ts of speech and so much more so yes, it's excited in that manner.
Remember I was on disability? Well...I made the mistake of thinking I would have a job still! Yeah...silly me. What was I thinking!? Yeah they let me go cause apparently, my boss started feeling 'uneasy' about the whole situation of me being gone so long and needed someone 100% asap. That, along with changes of roles going on within the company in my absence pretty much clinched it. So we 'agreed' to part ways. Ugh Well...later I found out that this sort of practice which was not unheard of is actually illegal. But...I didn't feel like fighting it. I mean, what's the use? Get a lawyer, fight for my rights and get my job back or get compensated. It's not really worth all that. Plus, I'm on disability. I reeeally don't have money to hire attorneys right now. lol So...I'm on the job hunt again, which isn't going to bad actually. I had one interview last Monday with a sign co. in Placentia, and he will be letting me know tomorrow what the verdict is. I was a pretty good match for that. Also, another sign co. will be calling tomorrow as well to talk more to me. He already saw my resume and likes what he sees so...we'll see! We'll see what God has for me. I hope it's gooood. Job hunts are cool! Especially when it takes months to find a job and all your cash is depleted. That totally rocks!
Hey...I might use that one. hmmm...
Anyways I saw Evan Almighty today. Very amusing I thought. It actually had alot of good points regarding our faith in God and trusting Him when we don't understand. I thought that was very cool.
So, my informational speech is going to be on Organic foods. Fun stuff! I'm actually learning alot about the whole process and history or organic foods, including farming processes and organic living in general. It sounds very sensible to me. I think I'm gonna go Organic! But if I do, I mean, should I just keep this on the 'down-low' for now cause, I don't know, people might think I'm weird or something and be like 'Whaaat? When did this happen!?' omg then people will ask them 'Did you suspect that he was...you know...organic?' and they'll be like 'I didn't even see this coming. It was...shocking to me. It was shocking to us all.' But then I might find more of my kind...yeah...which will encourage me more to 'come out'...and they'll start saying 'hey, this is okay, this 'organic lifestyle'. They're just people like you and me, really.' And activists will come out of the woodwork to aid us in our stance, so much so, in fact, that even if people don't accept our organicity, it'll mean little to us anymore, cause we're strong now, we're one. But to reeeally make my point valid that I've gone Organic so that no one makes the mistake of calling me 'weird' anymore, we're pushing for lawmakers to write a Bill that states that anyone who stands against my right to be Organic will be punished to the fullest extent of the law and be labeled as Organiphobic! And not only that, but the mere suggestion that the Organic lifestyle is wrong would be labeled as hate speech! Yeah...I'm seeing the process now...
Ya know, it's funny but...this vaguely reminds of me something...vaguely...
I believe that, forcing someone to accept you...doesn't result in acceptance. It results in mere tolerance. Forcing me to 'buy' something...doesn't mean I'll be happy with the 'product'. The cornerstone of marketing is finding a way to make people believe that they need that 'thing', and deceitfulness is the cry of desperation of a salesman. This isn't from a book. I'm beginning to realize that getting people to 'buy' into your agenda is a clever mix of marketing & sales, and some people know this all too well. And when they're desperate enough, they might even add a little deception in the picture, a method that's even accepted now on both sides of the fence. And what a sad day it is when deception becomes both the norm and the hype, while truth becomes a laughing stock. How much more blind are we willing to be?
If a 'product' can't sell itself, it's not worth 'buying', I say. It's one thing to let people know that the product exists and is for sale. It's another thing to try and convince people that the product is worth their money. Anyhow...enough said.
Okay, this is waaaay too long! I thought about cutting some of this out but...it really wouldn't make sense. Cause if you think about it, it's virtually impossible to make verbal edits when we communicate, right? We can only re-verbalize what we're saying so much, if that's even a word. So if I'm writing down my thoughts, hey...it's the same thing. I need to allow my written thoughts to stand rather than constantly edit them. So, there you go.
**INTERMISSION**
So, right now I'm listening to Pet Shop Boys and drinking English Breakfast Tea with cream and sugar. How come we don't have those options to post here, huh!? That just pisses me off! Cause I absolutely need people to know A)what I'm listening to, and B)what I'm drinking at the moment. Oh, and mood...I need the mood indicator. I mean, without the mood indicator, there's no point. I mean, the mood indicator says it all, people. Says...it all. Not to mention what I'm reading at the moment. People gotta know what I'm reading while I'm posting this blog! Why isn't that in here? Who wrote this program, for crying out loud! lol Actually, nix the reading. That option is in my Deviantart journaling, which I do not understand...at all. I don't know, maybe...they're trying to say 'what were you reading before you started journaling that you will continue to read once you're done journaling for the night. But I mean, those options to me are saying 'what are you doing NOW while you're journaling?' Eating, drinking, I can relate. Reading? No. I mean, I'm reading what I wrote people! Hello? lol hello So you see my point? Unnecessary.
You know, do they have blogs you can just record AND where people can listen to the recording? I mean, that might be funner. Then you can actually hear the uhhh...nuances of speech and things like that, that are hard to relate to on...screen. I was going to say paper but...it's a screen. Do you realize that everyting we write on this blog can be obliterated like...that! Seriously. All the blogs and info and daily activities we share here, if they're not being copied or printed, will be nada if the host server decides to crash. It's almost scary to think about. It reminds me of Revelation where it says 'in one hour the city will come to nothing.' You can be assured that the internet, this world wide web, when it is totally incapacitated by worldwide destruction, will bring to a halt the entire global market that depends on it, which at that time, I'm guessing will be pretty much every business alive, since it's so vital even today.
Ooooh...Flock of Seagulls! Coool!
Okay...what was I talking about? Oh yeah...worldwide destruction of the internet. Yeah, you know what, I reeally don't want to miss this song cause...it was my favorite growing up so...we'll, you know, discuss this later on k. lol I'd love to see that happen at some huge conventional speech.
Geek conversational starter: "Excuse me, but...do you have any idea what the normal final number for registry keys scanned would be, cause like, last night mine came out to 36,043 scanned by Mcafee. Is that...pretty normal?"
Ooooh...now it's Take On Me by A-ha! Ahhhh...brings back memories.
Now that's what they need! Not 'song' listening to, but 'songs' listened to while typing blog. yeah. So listen, cause I'm coming up on another intermission. lol What kind of space can be created...that internet users would love to be a part of? Blogger, taken. MySpace, taken. MSN, Yahoo spaces, done. Now, how about this! How about a space with just a huuuge picture of the person's face on it! That's it, just this huuuge picture of their face that fills the screen, and their name of top: Sally's...Space. "Okaaay...and then what?" Well...that's it! Just a huuuge picture of their face and their name on top! "Okay, I'm not really seeing...the purpose." Well, it has no purpose. Well, other than to identify that it's Sally's Space with a huuuge picture of her face on the screen! "And...you think people will buy into this." Yeah...yeah I think so! Cause all it is is.."Is a huuuge picture of their face...and their name. Yeah. I get it." You don't think that'll work? "Well...here's the thing. You can't just have a huuuge picture of someone's face on the screen...with just their name on top. People don't want a huuuge picture of their face on the screen!" Well...why? "Why? I'll tell you why. Cause it's scary, Naasson. And frankly, you're beginning to scare me as well! So...no. The answer is no." Wow.
