Taffy is delicious!

How is it environmentalists don’t know about environmental disasters?!?!? I’m by no means a greenie, but I know what’s going on. GMO, falling fertility rates, untested chemicals used enmass, genetically modified animals, I’m at least aware of all this noise. So turns out the average environmentalists only knows about carbon emissions, that’s it! No interest in the fact that fertility rates in men has fallen by 50% in the last 50 years. Not concerned about really aggressive bio engineered species into the wild. It’s all about evil carbon. Of course when I explain the 0 growth model to them and what would need to be done, you would think I’m explaining calculus to Labrador. Sure the eyes are on you but really they are hoping to see something shiny or for you to toss a ball for them to fetch. Hey guys, if you are worried about jobs then carbon taxes will not help!

It's a simple fact that just about no one thinks. I'm starting to get the idea that the vast majority of the population is simply incapable of forward projection. They will take the soundbite they are given and hold it up as if Jesus himself came down to give it to them. A society that completely trusts the "experts" despite the fact their track record is pure garbage for proper forecasting.

To top it off one of the greenies was from MIT with an engineering degree. Shit what does it take to get a degree now? Wander into a class and utter “Taffy is delicious!” walk out a college graduate. On the plus side this is my future "competition" in the world. Feeling strong.

Space Age, Stone Age

So being the bloated fat man that I am, I have decided to get into shape again. Those of you who know me notice this trend...I don't have success for the ladies for a while and all of a sudden I care about my appearance. It's like magic.

I've had some success with the low carb thing in the past. Managed to lose a big chunk of weight, enough to lure the ladies in with what I pass off as humor and the deception that I'm a cool successful guy. (Yes I've lied to hook up with girls. What am I going to do, explain my nerdy ways and ask them to a GURPS game?) Well I was looking at the low carb thing again and I was enchanted by the Primal Blueprint. It's a lifestyle plan to try and mimic out caveman ancestors.

Now I'm sure my ancestors were bad ass. Shameful Caveman doubtlessly dominated the hellish winter wastes, killing sabre tooth tigers with nothing more then his club like dick, and capable of running like a gazelle from a hoard of angry men, a stolen women on each shoulder. Now I don't expect to match such manly feats (and yes killing a sabre tooth tiger does make you a man), but I figure I can at least work out as well as go low carb.

This post goes out to Caveman Shameful! I salute you, and will try to at least look like you (from the waist up). If it was good enough for the stone age then it's good enough for the space age. After all I work in IT, and I know in the future nothing works.

A Shameful Recap

Due to heckling I have returned. My excuse for my long absence...my retarded ass schedule I have subjected myself to.

Lets see. My roomie left. He decided that he wanted to move to hippie land and go to the worst school in the state. I responded with all the charm and grace one would expect from me. So now I find myself living in as my father put it "the barrio". On the plus side it's cheap and close to my place of employment...the downside I only hear Spanish. So far have not been robbed...

Managed to hack my way through another year of school and I see light at the end of the tunnel...the train barreling down on me. Started another semester and already comfortably behind. Indeed right now I should be reading or sleeping instead of my rambling.

On the job front, going great! Almost all of my work has been scraped, but I provided deliverables and then the user had a problem not related to me. I care not, so long as the pay keeps coming in. I ended up being that guy, crying out to hand off stuff to the consultants. Let them suffer, I get paid no matter what.

So another year of the good time of full time/full time. Can't wait!
