Pay Attention @ MindSay

I just left the welding lab at school after doing the midterm. And I'm not too happy right now, in fact I'm kind of dissappointed with myself.

I didn't pay close enough attention to or misread  the diagram of all the welds we were to do and I just got in a hurry and welded one of the welds in the wrong position.

I was so sure that I had passed and was so proud 'til one of my classmates pointed out the mistake. I asked Roger, our instructor, about it and he said it will probably cost me a half a grade point.

So, now I am thinking I probably got a two-five or lower, meaning I might not have even passed. I think I'd be  very lucky to get a three-point on it.

God, what a freaking bummer. I got myself all worked up about it earlier this month, I should have known I was going to fuck up. Everytime I get excited and think something good is going to happen to me stuff like this happens. Why do I even let myself get excited in the first place? I mean I must have ginxed myslef or something.

And on top of that I burnt my thumb and middle finger. I'm really feeling kind of shitty right now after all that.

I could use a drink right about now.

AGGGGHHHH  FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of these places have lost too much attention from Uncle Sam. Iraq this. Iran that. Whoop-tie frickin doo.

Countries that we should pay a little more attention to:

1. Afghanistan: Our troops are still there ya know.
2. China: They're still growing economically, and their army is probably reaping the benefits.
   
3. North Korea: They've got nukes. The US + the Rest of  World didn't want it, but they do. AAAAnd...we haven't done much to fix that.

If you think I'm being a liberal stiff, listen: some US research panel (the news was going kinda fast, I didn't catch the name --> please tell me if you know!!!) said we're too focused on the Middle East. Asia isn't just standing by, and neither is anybody else.

BTW...did Boston lock up the "convicts" for the lite-brite fiasco?

Ok, so apparently, people do pay attention. Whether you agree with me or not, you have to pay attention. It's very important for everyone to be informed. I now wonder where my opinions used to come from. Once upon a time I was a minah bird for everything I heard my mother say. In high school it was the same, but from my peers. It is only recently, now that I've started researching the issues for myself, that I can proudly declare and defend my points of view. If you have an opinion at least know why you have it.

 

And now for my opinion. I was discussing the Presidential address with my coworkers and instead of staying on topic she changed it. I am going to assume it was because she had no argument, no valid reason for feeling the way she did. So - she brought up Katrina. And I lit into her. Her argument was ludicrous. Apparently, there is a rumor going about that the levies in New Orleans were blown up. Huh? That's dumb. It stems from the whole Bush hates black people debate. However - don't you think if Bush wanted all of those people dead EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM WOULD BE DEAD? And no one would ever know what happened. So, just the mere fact that they are alive - and the SEVENTEEN BREECHES - proves that that theory is utterly preposterous.

 

And thank you to everyone who left me a comment, good or bad. Keep it up. It keeps me on my toes and forces me to research my issues even further.

 

On the more personal side, I am freezing my ass of right now. It is soooo cold inside this clinic!!

....MINE,MINE,MINE,MINE,MINE,MINE,MINE,MINE,MINE,MINE,MINE!!!!!!!
