FBI seeks stolen personal data on 26 million vets
Gonzales, VA secretary say no indication of misuse
- CNN
Looking up articles, I was surprised when I saw this headline was from today.


anway, referring back a blog or so to the Pentagon frames
i was a lot rambling but meant only that the information being released back into the public is now reusing it's own media circus interest, american idolization. Even hunter said that if his opinion that the us gov. was number one to gain from the attacks was considered less credible, coming from a drug-riddled gonzo journalist such as hunter s. thompson, he considered it more of a problem of theirs and would stand by what he wrote the day of 9/11.

da vinci code's not my bag - i always joked in the south that i didn't want to enforce a book that i couldn't file under fiction or non-fiction

but same goes for the ones you can't

As always, Joel and Frank are waay ahead of me.
Send on some more flix suggestions my way though, Frank.
I can never remember WHAT I've always complained I couldn't find!

Some good movies that I've just seen -
I admit Joel and I just got Neflix, but wouldn't you know it all these GREAT films pop up on TCM just two weekends before -

THE KILLING
Titled as the best 'film noir,' one of the first movies directed by Stanley Kubrick
Awesome!

A KISS BEFORE DYING
Robert Wagoner is HOT, plus he throws Paul Newman's wife off a building and totally blows you away as a villan.

DESTRY RIDES AGAIN
This has GOT to be the movie in which Blazing Saddles is based upon!
Too hilarious! I had seen it years ago and just by luck Joel and I were sitting at our computers and it came on TCM. Marlene Dietrich's character is this film is a dead ringer for Lilly Von Schtupp (sp?).
Our favorite line: "I just want to be a cowboy, and wear my own pants!"

And for any of you out there playing at home, PLEASE send in your suggestions for other good movies. Netflix is going to be my new MySpace until I get Joel's money out of it!

Thanks!
Happy watching!

(and whose going to see the new X-Men film and why do I feel I was born to have no choice?)

i don't know if the idea of putting reagan on a coin is a joke or not but joel mentioned that in order to be put on money you have to be a founding father - or a war president - i asked if it could be that easy, the almighty dollar-
"because it would be more likely a bush" he said "franklin was the only one that wasn't president, and all others were war presidents,"
washington, grant, jackson,
Lincoln
revolutionaries,
civil war

what denomination do you think best fits President Bush
joel wondered who they might replace,
because not likely they would create another numeral for currency
an AMEROdollar, would be me just being silly, but
my husband remembers when he use to work with tender and the bills allowed went from a 50,000 dollar bill limit to $100 - high limit money used to exist and was eliminated - well, that would certainly help out the economy, if Bush ends up bringin' back the big bucks! right?

700 FBI officers were deployed to the Pentagon to gather and secure evidence. Upon researching biographies I believe some of the victims were amnesty, but not many. I found there were a handful of strange memorial descriptions that only mentioned why and what they were doing there that day. 2 young black officers that were on their way to be stationed in VA., but were suddenly reassigned after a short time in Seoul, last actually seen in Seoul, another young black man who was about to graduate in 3 days with his Mircosoft Tech Certification, he was dispatched to the Pentagon for technical support for computer problems by the company BHG, or BTG - a 22 yr old kid without a degree, military background, or training, or clearance, is called into fix one of the nation's top gov. information systems when it goes on the fritz - okay

jeez- that last one was getting a little negative - but it was a sudden realization of ours last night when we watched a prominent democratic representative advocate invasion of privacy - he certainly knows damn well whose checking up on his finances -

ANYWAY, so they released the NEW VIDEO OF THE PENTAGON....
it's gonna get real nasty, boys and girls

on a lighter note I learned of the new images on Heraldo!
He was talking about In Plane Site.
Joel and I thought he was a good man for getting the word out even if it's Heraldo and hokey, but only thought that he was fluffing the journalism and showing NEW footage that we had seen already on the documentary.

NOPE the government released the film - not just the handful of slides that THEY had released earlier (apparently just not officially!)
If you can believe this - the original shots were numbered 11, 12, 15, 18 and had the date stamp of 9/12/01 - I can show you, but the film doesn't have the time and date running like they were in the stills that were non-officially released

heartbreaking is that the size difference is very clear - won't take long -

also, heartbreaking is what

MSNBC reported in it's final paragraph
"Cheryl Irwin, a spokeswoman for the Pentagon, said the families of the victims of the Pentagon attack were consulted before the videos were posted on the Pentagon's website."

I looked back at the beginning of the article
HEADLINE: Pentagon attack that killed 189
then checked the tally they listed again
59 and 5 hijackers were killed
125 were killed IN THE BUILDING

in the only wing that was being renovated, there were no bodies recovered, and all the footage of cadaver/rescue dogs show them sitting around bored.

aside from i used to work in the aerial industry- the mounting issues started to just recently REALLY get out of hand with the trial of the accused conspirator (forgive i'm not leaving the blog again to look up how to spell his name, sorry)-
what a wangled teb we weave - what i didn't get is why there was so much falsified evidence submitted during the ...trial - a lot of cell phone call transcripts just came out of nowhere, plus wreckage photos that showed damage, and advanced rust weathering that couldn't have happen in that location
the chance of a cell phone working at that altitude is .0004% - PROVEN so there...
the first ever photos of wreckage of flight 93 in a FOREST when we all watched a vacant field with a big black hole in it for 2 hours-
i didn't understand if they were just an extreme token of sentiment to the people who lost their families, for solace, and answers-
it is ...just like the Pentagon families are getting now -

the government not taking responsibility for already the aired images of the Pentagon video they unofficially released means that IN PLANE SITE and LOOSE CHANGE are made to look libel and even less credible because of the inconsistencies in the date and time codes - and for not showing the whole sequence of frames -

even though all other security cameras from the businesses across the street have never been heard of OFFICIALLY or UNofficially since the Feds showed up and confiscated them right after the explosion

that trial may be over for the guilty Terrorist but served as a catalyst for this information to be manipulated, edited and re-edited, regardless of physics, ethics, or possibilty - and given back to us on Heraldo -

until what is real and what wasn't will be become so muddied that what really happened on 911 will be made not worth the journey to figure out - again

just like every other day
at least someone listens to Heraldo

colbert just said, "spellchecked by janenne garafolo"
and today i have a new god

so the President is caught commiting perjury on film again today, no big CNN headline- I saw it on the daily show
hey he got off lucky - he did not have to be called on the carpet
and define if sex is defined by fucking someone in the mouth
hell, he didn't even have to define god or even evil

howard dean - just explained how it was okay that the government should monitor our phone calls just the ones to al kiiIduh, not the ones to his grandmother -
i remarked that i had said clinton was a pawn -
i was asked just how high and how big

TYPING EXERCISE #1

Whoo! hoo! I'm a cherry poppin', mama!
this is my first time EVER using my very first laptop
HELL yeah!
it's the most fantastic pain in the ass
no shit, ha and also happy 4:20 as i happened to glance at the menu bar
to figure out what flipping program i keep accidently clicking on and why is it so LOUD?! geez!
i never thought i would actually own one - we aren't out of the hole yet, i do have a computer, shouldn't be above longhand, - but i tell ya - being stuck with a bad back and a shitload to do - i have yelled out that i needed one MANY times -
writing longhand actually isn't working out so well these days anyway, it's not easy flat on your back and it accumulates in too many different places until i finally get a chance to sort them out and type them - becomes quite deconstructive and time consuming - i am chick - saving time and paperwork and lower back, eh...
so i'm slowly getting the hang of it -

it was never so much the mouse square thingy that selects everything i finally get it to scroll it to - that i disliked so much about laptops
i never lked them beavus- beacuse of the keyboards. ugh...they are a LOT smaller. i'll leran learn to master it eventually - but i watch my hands when i type, so it's just going to take much longer to adjust to seeing the keys, and maybe complaining a little less, maybe

oh and by the way, know that your Typing teacher lied to you -
whether you look at the paper,screen with asdf jkl; or look at the keys with your fingers wherever you damn please (mine hover over both halves) actually has NO bearing on your typing speed
hand me a keyboard i'm used to and i'll prove it -
So, a little screw you shoutout to Mrs. Burleson for giving me shit 18 years ago, and i'll throw in a little thanks too because she randomly said my hair looked especially nice one day. It was a very sincere compliment that changed my demeanor and outlook on a class that intimidated the hell out of me. Younger than most in my own grade, typing was the first class i had in high school that had upperclassman. Okay, all upperclassman, i was the only freshman. when announcing our ages, the whole class erupted in jeers -when i said 14 -dudes teased that i was so dumb i said the wrong age, and the girls remarked to each other that i was lying. It was fun.
I was picked on, hated the class, and mortally shy. not many know me to be very shy -and though flattery will get you far - it was actually being treated maturely and with respect that made the impression and THAT'S what i never forgot.

that and her speech impediment...
a-s-d-elf space j-k-elf-semi-colon space

have a nice day and beware of typos

dude, i can only tell you that the man is blogging -
if i could actually make him write, i would have been a rich woman a looong time ago
but good hassle there, Bruce,
keep up the chatter - it seems to be working
hey, didn't you see how excited he got when he heard your birthday was fast approachin'?!
cause that fucker likes CAKE
make a wish and blow me for whoever gets to break my spanking record

dude - and there are worse things than even blogging while drunk and one would be blogging while unemployed -
gotta love the quick editing freedom though

leaving the job has been actually quite promising - i got interviews with the high end jobs i applied for- all starting at a higher wage - and learned quick - Vegas has a lot of beginning businesses, not a lot of experienced people with longevity in Vegas, and not a lot of professionalism - i am hoping to hear back on one i really want on friday. But if not, i have other interviews and i really just got lucky that it happens to be in high demand right now.
i honestly had no clue, yet wise to the industry well enough to know it isn't going to be changing anytime soon-
my dad always chewed my ass to find a decent profession such as start learning the mapping software and AutoCad, because he got lucky that as he got older he was now being fought over by rival companies - coming up through the ranks of the office and then into surveying - he became the most knowledgeable and presentable representative for engineering firms with survey teams - sorry, but i have the authority to say that he also has a strong advantage in the depths of Geeeorgia by not wearing flannel in the summer or gunning the crew truck in the parking lot.
i think he would really be proud after totally surprised, too

and i hope my mother will be pleased - fuck, don't forget Mother's Day, guys!- that not long ago, infuriated with the job, i was struck one day by the thought:
if my mother were treated in this manner, i would slap someone -
i should have walked away then

but things are looking good
i got job references from old friends that i had met working there, caught up,
got offers,
i'm not freakishly scared like i was when i wanted to leave and felt i couldn't
i'm not tethered to many things in my life that i couldn't help any longer
and most of all
i'm happy

best of everything to everybody,

but especially me
oh, and joel

in a totally unrelated story...
i caught joel blogging

I quit my job.

I am ashamed to admit that it was actually my integrity in the work that again made me snap for the final time. I am also ashamed to say that even in my resignation letter i was again explaining how important it was to operate legally with a current business license and still begging for someone to please give a fuck.
i said so many times that the place had broken me because of the ridiculous petty pieces of paper it caused me to eventually be praying for because i was in another state - i never intended to trip into taking it seriously - but in retrospect, i did tell everyone where and when to be in a situation that is more than normally important that it's correct because it involves people's LIVES.
I am very ashamed that it was the job number system breaking down AGAIN -a document still kept in pencil that was my limit.
Especially, when Joel raised a very valid point -
just what DOES that say about our national homeland security, boys?
very curious, indeed

along with a parallel misfortune with the janitorial service - again caused only by a paperwork travesty in Az. [uh,sic] - it's incompetance aptly described recently to my girlfriend as "files that couldn't be less fucked up if you had lit a match and set them on fire" - but left to me to very complicatedly and confrontationally through numerous people from the president of janiking to the single parent that wants to keep his job (& concerned for my safety at one point) while getting new quotes from all these numbnuts that take the pride of salesmanship over wasting my time while I'm calculating flight paths to sell me on bullshit options that i know the company will refuse to pay - though running thin on options

- i can also say that i hope no one holds it against me that at least i can muster some backbone for all the skirts out there that i have no problem knowing that there were lots more appt.s scheduled and there was no one to greet all those custodian callers -
and this time someone else had to figure out how to clean up a mess

sometimes things that actually aren't important are also not defined by who cares

sad that i've become such a paperpushing suck whore but i don't think anyone has been able to watch 5 years of hard work building something they were truly proud of rapidly fall apart without some feeling of loss

on a similar note - joel was proud of me for resigning from the theatre - it was also another mound of problems that was a job for someone else to clean up -

i was asked recently just what it was that, in consideration of recent times -
i truly wanted and what exactly do i have the means to secure
before what i want is not an option
i was a bit surprised that the answer had changed
the times have sped up or i have gotten older
whichever or both, but i'm much closer to the decision
than i knew
