tics, phos, and so's...

I try to avoid politics on this blog.  I just don't feel it a worthy cause.  Don't get me wrong, I still try to keep an eye on the latest antics in D.C..  This is no easy feat either.  As many of you know, Corporate America works hard to keep me out of politics.  Right now my mind is so wrapped around the genius behind Mr. Clean that I can't focus on anything else.  I just don't get how he created Magic Erasers.  I'm not completely ignorant, nor am I a skeptic.  I'm fully aware that there is a microfiber-like sponge.  What I don't get is if he filled the sponge with magic potion, or just cast a spell on the sponge.  You judge this thought, but I bet you couldn't explain it.  To have that kind of power to remove unwanted markings, while keeping all other physical items constant--that's magic!  I just didn't know that the authority of witchcraft was going to allow magic to be used commercially for a profit.  Doesn't that kinda cheapen their powers?  If you have that kind of power, why not just create money.  Maybe, it's the slow economy and they don't want their riches to be too obvious.  I guess that's when you know times are rough.  Even the wizards and sorcerers have to set aside their lavish lifestyle, and participate in the free market.  It's all mind boggling...Image via Wikipedia

As for the group with the bad ideas--you seriously think dropping all government activity except for the defense fund is a great idea?  Am I the only one who feels like a character in a George Orwell book?  I'm not talking about the Stalin figure, I'm talking about the rest of the population that buys the crap.  I'm talking about the ones who get crapped on.

To certain cable programs who think this is a sophisticated idea, I salute you--with my middle finger.  This isn't even phisticated, so how could it be so-phisticated?  This just tics me of.  It's ticated.  It's so below logic that I feel like all those congressman aren't even debating.  I think they just go laugh behind doors.  "Oh man, wait til we pitch this crap to the public.  It's gonna be a good laugh", Bohner can barely speak with out rolling on the floor laughing.

Then some dude with a small conscious (he's really more concerened about what might happen to him) asks, "do you think they'll buy it."

Bohner is still laughing, "they'll believe anything we put on Fox News.  All we have to do is play the audio while we show footage of spring break in Mexico."

Yeah, I said it!  I don't know if I'm more pissed about these morons, or the fact that I allowed such vile nonsense to inhabit space on my blog.

I said it alright...

Dislike option on Facebook inevitable...

This guy is my competition.

I was reading an article on CNN and wanted to share it with all the soccer Mom inthusiasts that might be tapped into my Facebook page.  However, in good conscience, I could not find it in me to thumb up the article.  Even though, it said recommend to Facebook you still had to hit the thumb up icon.

Mouthy kids:
For anybody curious to see the article click here.  Now don't get me wrong I'm a big fan of over-zealous soccer moms, but I think this lady's tactics are a little harsh.  This domestic tyrant decided to completely do away with democracy in her home.


The Agenda:
For those of you who know me well I've been petitioning for quite some time to add a dislike button to facebook.  To my greatest sorrow, I've failed at every attempt.  So the question of the day- How closely

Oprah's Sister and her Mom: Vernitta Lee? Oh America...

I did a little research today, as I'm at home sick, also with sick kiddos. I googled "quiet ramblings", thinking my blog should be at the top of the list now that my domain is: quiet-ramblings.com. What I found out instead was drumroll... I was #11 on the list. Number 11, are you freaking kidding me? What does a brotha gotta do to get some love?

(update 1/25) check me out now...google search for quiet ramblings

So I formulated a plan, thinking surely I can move up the list by discussing the latest craze. So I hit up Google Trends and at the top of the list a find, drumroll again... #1 Oprah's Sister, #2 Vernitta Lee, who I discovered is Oprah's Mom. Then suddenly, Thud. Thud. Thud. (That's what it sounds like when I start banging my head against the wall. This is about the same time Tourette syndrom kicks in too). What do I have to offer about Oprah? Nothing at all... Come on America, this is the freaking internet. How does one even get soooo bored, that they decide hmmmm... I really want to see what Oprah is up to today?

So I decided that this is why America is crazy, and why China has us by the spherical twin objects, used in sports, betting games, and tadpole creation. Then, I started to wonder- at what point will China be outsourcing to us? Maybe the iPod was really designed in China, to keep us occupied while stealthy infiltrating our minds, so they can get us all hopped up on dopamine every time we catch the latest celebrity news. Very, very, cleaver... Oh I hope this is all just paranoia on my part.

I then download AutoCad on my computer from the black market, allowing me to keep my computer ip address anonymous.  Just as I started to draft my plans for a bomb shelter, I mean come on we don't know where this is headed, I decided to give America one last chance.  So I check Yahoo. I found enough relief to cancel the backhoe delivery and 30 yards of concrete, just ordered. Yahoo's trending #1... is Joe Biden. This could be good, people are probably interested in government structure and law...  The sad truth, is that I know that's a lie. People are probably trying to find out his eye color, nicknames, pet's names, etc., etc., blah...

So just in case I'm going to keep these CAD files on my desktop. I'd share them, but I'm too paranoid that you may be a Chinese ninja. We all know that Ninjas originated in Japan, and the Chinese are only impostors, but it scares me just the same.

So be careful out there...



On a side note, I'm constantly trying to make my blog more awesomer'r (I can hardly believe it's possible either). As you may have noticed by the constant remodeling I suffer from blogger OCD. I've added star ratings at the end of each post.  Don't be afraid to rate me and if you've really got some beef to unload email me.  There is also a box full of links that might be related to my ramblings... Don't be scared to explore, they're not a scam, just other articles related to my content, and I don't make anything off of them. They are simply my gift to you: relevant, possibly more informative, information.

***Pay attention now: The coolest new toy I've added, is an integration from:
