I swear I wasn’t drunk
when I wrote this from my cell phone
I War Ahecking Out The Site From My Cel. Cel Makes It Easier To
Type Over Cel Input, Me Tgnks. I Particulary Enjoy The Word Input. Typical Key Input Methods Require Multiple Presses Are
Required. However, With My Cell, I Can Press The Keys With Letters Of The Word And Its Gotten All The Words Write! I Was
Thinking About Containment Foreighn Policy. See, Got Them All (no Slang Though).

I had to post this quote,
too good to pass up.

I consider myself an American by every twist of the word. I
believe in the God-given freedoms, I am well-versed in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution as well as
American history. I fully support the troops abroad, and I cede that war is innevitable.
However, I do not believe
that our freedom is clippable. We CANNOT sacrifice freedom for security. I am not an opponent of George Bush, though many
who know me may claim otherwise. I supported him during the aftermath of 9/11–I felt he brought unity at a pivotal time
when unity was a vague idea. I supported the invasion of Afghanistan in order to find Al Qaeda and Bin Laden. I did not
support the invasion of Iraq, though I support the remove of Hussein. None of this gives anyone the right to spy on
Americans. If there are foreign nationals within America who are up to no good, boot ‘em. If there are Americans who have
betrayed the state in exchange for patrotism to a foreign war, boot ‘em. However, we do not have to cede liberties to
accomplish this.
It seems that the Democrats
have remembered a key politcal ideal that Republicans have forgotten:
Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts
absolutely
What is worse is that Bush supporters continue to hold their ground, justifying Bush’s actions and
href="http://www.blogsforbush.com/">praising him! I know that they believe it is better to stand your ground than to
back down, to support at all costs, but even to the point of dismantling American rights? How far will they follow Bush,
even when his own party has begun to distance themselves from the new allegations? I merely want Americans to stand up and
be Americans, to hold their ground for what is right, now what they have always believed to be right.
I released my
support of Bush during the last election due to a number of issues that he always ignored and his supporters shrug off. He
allowed false CIA information to enter the Iraqi situation in order to support the invasion, he made jokes when now WMDs
were found, and he has repeatedly claimed that finding Bin Laden was not a high priority! I simply don’t get how so many
Americans can be so blind. Of course we should stay the course in Iraq, but this does not justify, or require continued
justification for Bush regarding our presence there in the first place!

the expense of freedom is slavery"
"Those who desire to give up freedom in order to gain security, will not have, nor do
they deserve, either one."

Our office receives a
Christmas card from just about every supplier (makes for great paper to clog up the printer).
There is no
time more fitting
…
to wish you a Happy Holiday and New Year
…
As I read this, I could not
believe how much of a stretch the writer must have been going through. I write it off to writer’s block, but really, what
are your choices here regarding a more fitting time? During Independece Day or Halloween, do you go around and say “Happy
Holidays and Happy New Year”? I certainly hope not, unless you’ve got a time machine hidden away in some dark corner of
your basement (which, if that’s the case, I have some…business…to take care of the in the future that could pay off
well for you).

The first snow of the
season has fallen, and what havoc it has wraught. From UPS drivers to
href="http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/12/08/chicago.airplane/index.html" target="_blank">airplanes, many are falling short of
a good start to the winter season. Today, I was waiting at a red light and with about 200 feet before the next vehicle
passes through the light, so I make my attempt to turn right. I dug my tires in deep, then foolishly thought it better to
back up. Luckily the oncoming truck slowed as he saw me struggling to make the turn and I came around the intersection and
took off.
On a brighter note, I found out more of my references were being checked today, so the job search continues
with hope! I read an article about
how people typically slow the pace of their job search during the Christmas season, and I really don’t get this. If you
really want a new job, you won’t stop looking just because of a holiday. We have to sift through a lot of mud to get to
the gold, and an increase in rejection during this season is nothing more than a mudslide! It doesn’t change the
underlying value. With that said, I’m very optimistic that I’ll have a new position by the end of the year–hopefully I
can turn in my 2 weeks within a week.
In the meantime, I’m going to go with the flow and enjoy the time I have now.
I’m going to miss a lot about Neoteric, but I’m very ready for new experiences.
