Passive Political Activism

"...The oil plants in the region surrounding Ebocha find it cheaper to burn nearly 1 billion cubic feet of gas each day and contribute to global warming than to sell it. They deny the flaring causes sickness. Under pressure from activists, however, Nigeria's high court set a deadline to end flaring by May 2007. The gases would be injected back underground, or trucked and piped out for sale. But authorities expect the flares to burn for years beyond the deadline..."

It is my hope that you will be moved to do something about the horrible inequalities of this world by me posting a snippet of an article.

Wow, work my skin to the bone....

I worked for an hour...made $44...not bad, but really shitty in the long term, I wish I could make $50-$80 a day, that would be much nicer, but, beggars can't be choosers. I'm hoping I can get this nice internship for the summer, oh it'd be money.

welp there goes my day!

I have to leave for work in 15 minutes and I did nothing all day today. I got my cumulative 8 hours of sleep, then just sat on my arse trying out cool new things online and with this blog. One thing you'll notice is the cool chat on your right. I got that and I've been playing with meebo all day, since my laptop is out of order for a bit. One thing I like about this blog is it allows me to openly express my inadequacies and perhaps reflect upon them and then maybe change. Needless to say I did not fix my big PC yet, but I did buy grommets last night, its going to look hella professional thats for sure.

ARGH!!!

ARGH!!! is right. I stopped by work today and showed up 5 minutes late and lost that sweet sweet job over in Westminster I was even there long enough to hear the lady say, you have to be there by 7 and watch the two guys walk out, but no matter because when I asked if they had more jobs, well they did. One at 2pm at the fallston high school. I wonder how long it will last. Not more than 6 hours I'd imagine, its an unloading job so probably not more than 3 or 4 hours to tell you the truth. It isn't even a full days work, but that is ok, I can finish putting together the water cooling system on my pc before I have to goto work today.

P.S. I feel really crappy for not going to work yesterday, just thought I would let you know. But as the saying goes, hindsight is always 20/20, but if I felt the way I feel today, yesterday, I would have gone to work.

P.S.S. Since we are on the topic of ARGH!!! yesternight I deleted my linux partition off my hard drive and added it back to windows for the space. I was using LILO boot loader and since it can't read its configuration file it doesn't load so I can't use my laptop. If I had my windows CD I could fix the problem, but I gave that to a friend last saturday so he could install windows on his PC at home. ARGH!!! to everything in the last 24 hours.
