Posted in Race, asshole, life, love, thoughts, world powers with tags african american, black, murder, police brutality, politics, Sean Bell on May 9, 2008 by boyoI need a JOB, so badly that I could spit blood if someone even offered me an interview. New York is a rough place to be in this regard. My goal for this evening is to crank out a number of different applications before nightfall. Wish me luck/ offer me employment!
So, I’ve been thinking about this a lot. Sean Bell’s homicide. Strange that his death was over a year ago, the police were only recently found not guilty of murder, and there have been “pray-ins” in New York City. Al Sharpton went to jail for being a protester and blocking traffic and he has threatened that there will be more of these pray-ins staged.
I realize it’s a horrible death and that there appears to be no justice. I recognize that it’s, once again, police brutality a la Diallo, and that black victims are always the victims of this sort of violence.
I cant remember the last time I’ve read an article that went: “Middle class white male in suburban home gunned down by police officers who mistook his remote control for a deadly weapon and unloaded 50 bullets into him-”
Thus, watching the news, on channel 9 news, SUDDENLY, there were more black American news anchors on TV in a row than I have seen in my entire life. That includes being in places like Atlanta, Detroit, or even Kansas City (areas typically more diverse than, say, Idaho).
So in some ways, I feel like this is a really good move politically to show power. Congrats.
However, some things are just poorly executed. One professor in my school has ripped apart a piece of large cardboard and covered her office’s window with a sign that says “Justice for the Bell Family” scrawled in Permanent marker. Other people shown on the news were saying things like “50 bullets is just too much;” as if 1 really well placed bullet is enough?! or sufficient?
At least that individual was out in the streets, though, marching, protesting, shutting down traffic and getting arrested.
The sign is really just sort of stupid.
This, however, puts an interesting tweak on the intersection between technology and law enforcement, which might also be vaguely more productive. CLICK HERE
In essence, be part of a solution, not a greater part of a problem and you’re contributing. But to focus on the problem alone as if that is sufficient is uncalled for. It only does so much, and makes the work of those who go out to actually take to the streets that much harder because they’re not being supported.
Still, I get the gesture.
…
It is what it is.
Still there are other aspects of what’s going on that need to be addressed as well:
Race is a social construct. It’s not to say that it’s not ‘real,’ but only that we define this continually as a culture. So already we walk into territory which is fraught with overburdened terms, histories, conflicts, and connections which are automatically triggered whenever anyone of a specific group is the victim of a heinous crime.
Is humanizing such a horrible thing?
In other ways it seems like divisiveness is the greatest harm for all of us and that these definitions often help to re-entrench the distinctions.
So in another, sense, I guess, my professor was right too.
Justice should be the unifying force.
Ethics Committee, gimme somethin’.

Dominicans, especially:
Once again proving my theory, 20 million for a group of capitalist assholes while I, on the other hand, struggle with the concept of bowing down before the ethics committee.
For those of you who do not yet know what the fuck I’m talking about, I think it might very well be about time to explain what an ethics committee is.
-Although I think of it more as a big-headed monster with 40 eyes and crooked teeth that spews poisonous goo onto you and attempts to pinch bits of flesh off of my body, the truth is that it is a required part of becoming an attorney. The Ethics committee looks into your past and decides whether you are FIT enough morally to become an attorney. They will look into tickets, arrests, jobs, everything! They’re worse than Santa and the CIA. And this is why I worry. I don’t know if the ultimatum I received in college means that I was fired or I walked away from the job. I don’t know whether I received a ticket or if that’s more than a ticket. I don’t know if they look into child support or credit issues.
My general theory is that if they allow assholes who accept bribes to make decisions (attorneys and judges) then I’ve got a pretty good shot at becoming an attorney anyhow, but I can’t stop worrying about making it. I guess, mainly because I’m 100k in debt…
Ethics Committee, ILOVEYOUIHATEYOU!

Posted in The finer side of life?, angst, life, love, voice-mail, world powers with tags autonomy, Bolivia, British Police, DC Madam, digital cameras, sad, techy toys on May 6, 2008 by boyoToday’s roundup of random info for you all:
MONEYED INTERESTS FINALLY GET PART OF WHAT THEY REALLY WANT FROM THEIR GOVERNMENT: AUTONOMY?
And in one of the saddest stories in the news, after the infamous DC Madam Debbie Palfrey hung herself, the press has offered a PDF FILE of her actual suicide note to the public. I was actually quite saddened to read this document.
. Just sad. America has repressed its own sexuality so much that when someone, an individual, is responsible for facilitating sexual encounters, (Senators, college graduate call-girls) that the Madam is scape-goated for societal disapproval. My father always used to suggest that sex should be just like a handshake. Of course, that was idealism and he’s remained faithfully married to the best of my knowledge for some time, but the message still rings true.
If you feel inclined to read about this a bit more I would suggest going to this site:
as well as: HERE
Additionally, here’s a little bit of technological eye-candy. MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!
And when you think about it, bridging the gap between laptops and cell-phones makes sense. That’s why I’m going to purchase a HP mini note unless a greater inexpensive laptop comes around soon. I will also need to obtain a digital camera. WIRED tells me how to buy a good one. Butt the problem is, that only the British government can actually take shots like this: SHEER AWESOMENESS
Ethics Committee, if I were to fall, would you catch me?

Posted in fantasy/erotic, life, love, sex with tags fuck, jewish porn, life, love, native american porn, sex, stress on May 4, 2008 by boyoWith the onslaught of stress that comes with studying for final exams, follows closely the desire to literally fuck it out into my partner/GF.
However, her pal has decided to spend the night every night for the past four days without a break. While this is a sensitive subject which remains undiscussed between the both of us, it has resulted in my desire to sleep with any one of my neighborhood Jewish girls in my fantasies.
Honestly, I wonder IF there is Jewish porn. Earlier this week, I recognized that I have not actually witnessed any real Native American pornography either. In some ways, this is disturbing to me. In other ways, however, it’s like people are refusing to sexually subjugate these specific groups as if it were taboo or would be an outright affront to their culture.
As for myself, I think I would love to see them both.
I did discover “hot israeli girl…” http://www.dogpile.com/dogpile/ws/results/Video/jewish%20porn/1/417/TopNavigation/Relevance/iq=true/zoom=off/_iceUrlFlag=7?_IceUrl=true

Posted in angst, life, love, politics, thoughts, world powers with tags cheaper commercially, damages in civil suits, disabilities, extracellular matrix, finger, government funding, Iraq, pixie-dust, troops, war, zombies on May 2, 2008 by boyoZOMBIES FOR THE US GOVERNMENT?
Watching this clip, the part that was most disturbing was seeing individuals who are drastically harmed in Iraq. Still, the US government wants to fund this medicine (Pixie-dust) “extracellular matrix” for its troops.
While the concept may mean issues such as liability for injuries might forever be altered in civil suits, the more insidious aspect is that having taken a serious hit once in a tour of duty, that was a free ticket out of war.
Now, assuming you’ve got four years of military service due, there is a slight incentive to send troops into more dangerous areas because the effect of repairing injuries (assuming they do not lead to death) mean that the government can still hold you and send you back into the battle. Specifically, if they can fix your trigger fingers, …
In another way, this is a great thing for individuals with physical handicaps and injuries. Often, government funding leads to cheaper alternatives becoming commercially available in the future.
Imagine, however, being injured and discovering that you have to go back to fight in the war that injured you previously. Is that a coup or is that a shame?
Ethics Committee, clarify, please.

Posted in Fucking, angst, asshole, family, life, love, sex, thoughts, voice-mail with tags boyfriend, Clay Shirkey, confession, dessert, dodgeball.com, George Bush, GF, graduation, Here Comes Everbody, love, romance, sister, sleeping with ex, student loans, unemployment on May 1, 2008 by boyoGraduation means a number of things I am still, as an adult, fully unprepared to deal with:
- First and foremost, lack of employment. “Thank you, George Bush.” Asshole. Really, your “war on terror” has dropped our dollar into a bullshit currency. The fucking Brits come here to order double-whoppers for the price of a regular Whopper now. Grrr. Now NO ONE wants to hire me.
- How do you pay back student loans without a job?
- Then this interesting tidbit:
GF’s sister has been dating this guy for 2-3 years now. He tells her “I’m thinking about taking a bar in state Q.” She tells him, “I think we’re over, then.” Guy hangs up. Calls back a bit later and says: “I’m taking your state’s bar in July.” She’s happy. GF is happy too. Me?
I’m totally pissed! LOL That fucking asshole had to set some sort of a romantic precedent like that? He blew 3000 dollars to get test-prepped for this state AND has already passed a different one!
Now, my GF is looking at me like: “See? I always believed in real love-” or “If you get an ultimatum like that, I expect that you’ll crumble too.” The truth is, I could. But I think on principle I would more than likely have to go. Leave the relationship. Quit.
And in truth, I love her. It’s just that I can’t spend the rest of my life with her in my mind yet. Maybe I won’t. I think she and I could both be happier if we weren’t together.
Eh.
Anyhow, for anyone who hasn’t seen http://www.dodgeball.com -I suggest that you sign up. It’s the next level of Myspace/Facebook connectivity in action. Not that I have.
I got it out of Clay Shirkey’s HERE COMES EVERYBODY, which is a great read.
I made this great dessert for my last day of class. It was honestly one of the best desserts I have ever made and I HARDLY believe that I legitimately make great desserts. My professor walks in, and noticing that someone had made such a great looking dessert looks over to person XXY (our typical gender-bending lesbian student) and asks if SHE made it. I can’t believe that shit. Someone else, outside of that classroom later told me that ‘if they ARE mad at me because of my status, that I’m doing a great thing by allowing my classmates to be biased and vent against me.’ … Thanks.
Whatever, that parts over. Next up- FINANCES! I could lose some of the money I was promised for Bar Prep. DAMNIT. ASSHOLES.
Whatever. I’m starting to bring myself down here…
I KNOW! CONFESSION TIME!
(I usually feel better after this, anyhow)
I think back to the time that I slept with my ex-girlfriend every now and then and feel like this:
It was wrong, but it was so right too, and it serves her right -as well- because she broke my heart once a long time ago, so if I don’t return her calls, it’s okay, because she’ll understand now how it feels.
Ethics Committee, I really do want to feel that greater sense of love. A Nonymous
Eventually I’ll make a photo for everyone too, I promise.

Posted in The finer side of life?, life, love, movies, music, past recollection refreshed, porn, transportation with tags cell phones, EEE PC, HP Mini, laptops, sheer fucking desire, UMPC on April 27, 2008 by boyoThat last post might have been heavy, but I am glad to have gotten rid of it.
Now, for real news:
I am considering buying an ultra-mobile personal computer!
For those of you who haven’t yet seen, there’s a good degree of hype about these new laptops which fill the gap between Laptops and phones.
MINI-LAPTOPS! (<– click for the link)
It’s similar to having a streamlined laptop, where word documents etc. can be processed. I am quite pleased with this options because there are a number of times that I will have to alter documents between work (whenever I GET a J-O-B) and home when time can truly be extremely precious. Phones won’t allow for that kind of alteration (Consider needing to quickly revise or create a cover-page or a heading for a motion and you’ll understand what I’m talking about here).
I looked into the ASUS EEE PCs: (click for link –>
ASUS EEE PC 900
And Finally, you have to see this one!
Many of the Asus laptops seem marginally satisfactory, however, I’ve been looking at the HP MININOTE too:
So far this is THE laptop that I want, although Intel’s ATOM chip is also coming out this Summer and should allow other computers to get even smaller. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!
So what’s this boy to do?
Buy, buy, buy! I’m going to solicit funds from HP so that I get my Bar-trip paid for too.
