On Vox: Thorny Decisions & A Drive Through the Snow

I was in London today for an Interview (I go the Job!)  I've got another job interview with the Local Nuke Plant and one with an Automotive Firm up on Manitoulin Island in the next week or so so I'm kind of in a bind on the Job thing.  One one hand I have a generous offer from the Firm I interviewed with today  and on the other I have tried to get into the Local Power Concern for years and finally have an Interview for a decent job with them.

The Culture at the firm today seemed really awesome, however I really want to make sure that I give these other two firms a go.  It has been six months since I left Symantec and I want to ensure I make the best possible decision.

Please enjoy this short video presentation about my drive home.  It's one long shot and demonstrates the kind of weather we get up here in Bruce County.  The Song is "Midnight Cowboy"

Hmm,

Coldcut and Saul Williams deliver another memorable sermon.

If you haven’t heard from these artists I heartily endorse their music and encourage you to check them out.

I listened to this today while I was reading “Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas” which has been ruined for me by the Movie of the Same name. I always enjoy reading Hunter Thompson, he’s the kind of writer that turns the banal into a freak-trip. Even the darkest of trips becomes a delight through his freakish muse.

Where was I? Saul Williams, failed musical experiments aside, you should at least look into his work, especially the drum and bass collaborations he has been involved in.

My God, I want to remake this and make it worse and more awkward and nerdy. You know, add a random shot of grandma waving at the camera and throwing a toy for a dog and it’s gold.

Ron Paul supporters chase hannity

You know, if I wasn’t convinced that the majority of people would totally fail to comprehend it, I’d require kids in the states to read “It Can’t Happen Here”

When fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.

I see no cross but that flag is right there.

These guys are just thugs. Which is kind of what I expect from Ron Paul supporters most of the time. Given all the RP spam on you tube these days; it’s hard to imagine that his supporters are anything close to rational.

This one has grown on me, I dunno why. Kanye has been doing that ever since I heard “Gold digger” … what about you? Any poppy artists just getting stuck in your head in a good way?
