Sometimes you stand up and do what's right, regardless of what is written down.
Martin Luther - 95 Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences - Changed the world by standing up to the Government of the Day.
Cost everything but a paradigm shift took place with in the "Social Consciousness".
I suspect Martin Luther wasn't planning to change the world, but "knew that something must be done, and if not by me, then by who?"

Some disturbing news
Sorry for the absence ... I'm doing better both physically and mentally so this will start getting back to being updated properly.
First the news ...
CYBERSPACE — Apple has launched another salvo in its anti-porn crusade, this time winning a patent filed in 2008 that prevents sexting on iPhones.
Reports said that the patent, filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, provides “Text-based communication control for personal communication devices.”
Called the "anti-sexting” patent in tech circles, the description further spells out its “parental controls”: The application “Filters incoming and/or outgoing text communications based on administrator-defined criteria, alerting the user, administrator or other designated individuals when a message contains unauthorized content. The control application can require the user to replace the unauthorized text, automatically delete the text and even strike the entire communication.”
In plain English this means certain words that are sexual in nature will be prevented from being sent or displayed.
The patent does however allow for certain text elements that are necessary to learn foreign languages, for example, a certain number of Spanish words per day can be included in messages for a child learning the language.
When Apple announced its iPhone 4 last April, CEO Steve Jobs made it clear to concerned customers that there would be no porn apps developed for the device.
Jobs said, "You know, there's a porn store for Android. You can download nothing but porn. You can download porn, your kids can download porn. That's a place we don't want to go — so we're not going to go there."
LOS ANGELES — Wicked Pictures and Vivid Entertainment have ceased film production following the announcement that a porn performer has tested positive for HIV.
"When Vivid was first made aware that a performer had tested positive for HIV we immediately suspended production," Steven Hirsch, Vivid's co-founder, told the Los Angeles Times.
"We did this as a precaution and will continue to monitor the situation. AIM Healthcare acted appropriately to quarantine all adult talent who may have been exposed. We will wait for all of the facts to emerge before we resume production.
"Even though Wicked is condoms-mandatory, we have postponed our upcoming productions to give AIM a chance to create a comprehensive quarantine list," Wicked officials said. "Thanks to the continued efforts of AIM the entire industry was all made aware of this possible threat on the same day."
AIM spokeswoman Jennifer Miller, aka Brooke Hunter, said the case revealed today involves an unidentified adult-film performer who tested positive at AIM's Sherman Oaks branch.
Miller declined to reveal the gender of the performer or the companies he or she worked for.
"We do have a confirmed adult-industry performer who tested positive for HIV. We are quarantining and testing all exposed partners to the individual who tested positive for HIV," Miller said.
"We’re doing what we can to notify the individuals involved," Miller said.

Strange voices in my head
SO ... once again the little voice in my head went off and I drove across town to work to find that once again, the alarm system couldn't be set because the "Over Head Door #2" was not engaging and the alarm could be set.
No one calls ... there is no note ... nada. I really have to talk to the janitors about this.
My real question is, where is the insistent little voice that plays in my head coming into play for a job I don't really like and why at 11 o'clock at night am I having this happen?
I mean I am obedient to the Voice. I hear the call and I answer. I spent many years running from the Voice, but this is getting weird.
I mean really ... why am I driving at 11 at night to a company who I really don't want to be working for anymore to save them anything?
Maybe the Voice wants more from me again ...
Maybe it's really just time to move on. I don't know. I just know that the Voice is getting louder again. It's more persuasive and more straight forward.
Not so much as a whisper ... more of an insistent call.
Not like your Mom calling you to supper, but more like a scent on the wind. You can smell the food cooking, you can smell the birch burning, you can smell the jack pine and the moss. You can hear the voices of the people you know and love. You know it's out there, even if you haven't found it yet.
I'm losing my mind ....

Douchbaggery ... Epic Douchebaggery!!!
SO! The Douchebaggery has once again attained EPIC levels! I really can't quite understand how it works.I have never worked in such a poorly managed environment. I don't get it! Blows my mind!
Fuck it!
Better thoughts for the rest of the night!
I don't know how many of you know that I came out of the closet and announced to the world that I am a furry. Many people didn't and still don't understand what that means. It's OK .... it took me years to understand. I am wired a little different that the "Normal" people. It's not that I am some kind of deviant, but that I look at life a lot differently that you might. I just think that a natural coat of fur, muzzle, tail, mane of fur, and almond shaped eyes are really really attractive. It doesn't alter my faith, nor does it make me a bi-sexual although a great many of my community are, nor does it make me a "freak". I just want to find someone who has my faith, AND understand being furry.
I have a girlfriend, and she's great. BUT as with all my relationships, distance and faith are starting to play a damaging part in the relationship.
I hate that.
Distance always plays such a damaging part in anyone's relationship. What's worse is that is compounds issues that may have been small, but are now growing. I hate that. I'm on the phone with her, and as much as I would like to say "We need to step back", it isn't right.
Differences in faith are the worst. I don't just mean "She's Anglican and I am Roman Catholic" I mean my fundamental belief system is different from belief system. It's a strain that is unpleasant to deal with.
Now add personality flaws. I have more baggage than Samsonite! I mean it! I have commitment issues (Thanks Dad!), trust issues (Thanks Paulla), intimacy issues ( again Thank You Paulla). Also I am a Dog. I mean it. In my furry persona, I am a canine. Thats good in that I am loyal, but it's bad in that I am not really as monogamous as I would like to be. NO! I have not cheated on her! That's not the point! The problem is, I am easily tempted. I have not cheated. I am not a bastard, but it's more of a case that if I was put into the situation OF cheating ... I honestly don't know what I would do.
Sigh ...
Douchebaggery .... Thy name is Goose.
Fuck it!

Thank You for my freedom
The Normandy landings were the landing operations of the Allied invasion of Normandy, also known as Operation Neptune and Operation Overlord, during World War II. The landings commenced on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 (D-Day), beginning at 6:30 AM British Double Summer Time (UTC+2). In planning, D-Day was the term used for the day of actual landing, which was dependent on final approval.
The assault was conducted in two phases: an air assault landing of 24,000 American, British, Canadian and Free French airborne troops shortly after midnight, and an amphibious landing of Allied infantry and armoured divisions on the coast of France commencing at 6:30 AM. There were also subsidiary 'attacks' mounted under the codenames Operation Glimmer and Operation Taxable to distract the German forces from the real landing areas.[4]
The operation was the largest amphibious invasion of all time, with over 160,000[5] troops landing on 6 June 1944. 195,700[6] Allied naval and merchant navy personnel in over 5,000[5] ships were involved. The invasion required the transport of soldiers and material from the United Kingdom by troop-laden aircraft and ships, the assault landings, air support, naval interdiction of the English Channel and naval fire-support. The landings took place along a 50-mile (80 km) stretch of the Normandy coast divided into five sectors: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.

A Month away ... on a less than ideal mental break
Sorry about the silence.
It's been a mentally trying time for the last month. I short circuited upstairs pretty badly. It was gross. Robotman can attest to it, as he watched it happen.
U.G.L.Y. doesn't even cover it. I pretty much shut down and disappeared mentally. Scared a couple of people, but unfortunately, not the right one's. Work doesn't seem to understand that there might, just might be an issue. I guess the "stick your head in the sand and pretend it isn't happening" mentality is endemic in the Oil and Gas sector of the workplace.
But I'm back (na na nah nah) with some brand new tricks, so furry related posts, and links, and pictures ... nothing to offend, just going to be a little more me. Some music blogs, some software blogs, and some nonsense blogs!
Thanks for coming out and remember, lets be careful out there.

Running on Empty
Looking out at the road rushing under my wheels
Looking back at the years gone by like so many summer fields
In sixty-five I was seventeen and running up one-o-one
I don't know where I'm running now, I'm just running on
Running on - running on empty
Running on - running blind
Running on - running into the sun
But I'm running behind
I am officially running on empty. I've packed it in upstairs.
Need some downtime, so I'm going offline.
Chow.

I want to Rock and Roll All Night and Party Every Day!
Really ... I am tired of always working and working and working. I choose to start having fun. Good guys are always working hard, and never seem to get much out of it. The bad guys are always having a good time and are never going without. I know in my heart that the Good Guys need only to ask for help and people will help them, but I am thinking that it's time to change the picture a bit and grab what I need.
Screw'em all.

Twilight B%tt S%x
-->Direct rip but WAY to good to miss out on! Don't miss out! To Be fair, before I posted this comment, I DID read the books ... they are, in my opinion, poor. Be that as it may, some people like cotton candy for dinner, so what ever.
http://www.gaiaonline.com/forum/twilight-saga/twilight-butt-sex/t.59819665/
Ever noticed that, Twilight sucks? A stupid book that enough half-wits have read to be made popular, that's 'Twilight', in black and white. If you disagree, then you are dumb. Enough said!
Gingers have no souls!
1. Bella is a perfect character (“Mary Sue”), which Meyer hides by calling her clumsy.
2. Being clumsy is not a flaw if Edward always catches her.
3. She can’t do anything without Edward.
4. And when he leaves she attempts to commit suicide.
5. Meyer is living out her own fantasies by writing about Bella, who is clearly herself.
6. The books aren’t well written, just because every other word is a fancy adjective doesn’t make it good writing.
7. All the rules Meyer sets for being a vampire are broken by the end of the series.
8. Not only that, she breaks rules set by more esteemed authors.
9. The world population will come to an end because all girls who read this book will think they are Bella and will wait for their Edward to come until they are old. And he’ll never come.
10. Bella almost dies fifty thousand times, but Edward always saves her. This is boring.
11. Edward is too perfect and has no flaws either. Even vampires should have flaws besides wanting to suck human blood because it’s natural to them.
12. The reason the books became so popular is because Bella has no personality and any loser can put themselves in her shoes.
13. If Bella is so ‘plain’, why do so many guys fall for her within the first ...what ... 60 seconds of meeting her?
the Twilight "saga"
Ssingle handedly setting feminism back 100 years, insulting literature, and turning 13 year old girls bat-shit insane in one convenient package!

What you do is not who you are ...
So I keep trying to remind myself that my job is not who I am. My job you see is very stressful and can make me become someone I don't always like. I have been short tempered, rude and snippy with people who's only problem is that they need my help.
Sigh ... back to work now ...

Do you smell that son? It smells like ... Stupid!
On behalf of normal, intelligent, non-mouth breathing Canadians, who's parentage is an identifiable quantity, who's gene pool has both depth and diversity, I would like to take this moment and speak out on what seems to be a growing issue today.
This issue, gentle reader is nothing more frightening than the insidious, creeping stupid. This disease seems to impact 1 in 5 Canadians, with estimates being higher is some areas.

Ashes to Ashes
Lets fire up the Quattro ...
The Eurythmics - Sweet Dreams
Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue
New Order - Blue Monday
Queen - Under Pressure
Katrina and the Waves - Walking on Sunshine
The Police - Every Breathe You Take
And a personal Favorite ....
Murry Head - One Night in Bangkok
I don't know what it is, but honestly I love British music from the 80's. Don't get me wrong, Canada made excellent music during the 80's ... but music from Britain seems to have in many ways been more enduring.
OK .. so there is Starship - Built this City for example. Time tested and enduring! Love it! But that's not what I am talking about here. I mean BritPop ... that stuck in my head a lot!
Screw it! I am going to call my best half and have a chat. Ta you daft buggers!

David Bowie is a freaking genius. No questions. Life on Mars has been described as "a cross between a Broadway Musical and a Salvador Dali Painting".
Works for me.

Useful Freeware
The Automated and Most Efficient Defragmenter
What a good tool!
"Smart Defrag doesn’t just use simple defragmentation. It also streamlines your file system, places the frequently used files and directories into the fastest area of the disk, enabling your computer to run at top speed with the most stability."
I've been running it on my machine now for three weeks and there is a noticeable system improvement without there being a complete drop in system response time. I play Command and Conquer Generals while it is running and I have never noticed a lag issue.
That's me on a soapbox ... sorta ... I only have to do this on my Windoze box ...my linux box doesn't have those issues.

Oh come on now ... Really???
What a great attitude to be going into the Easter weekend with!
I am so sick of people who can't handle something so basic that even canned cling peaches would grasp the concept! I am so tired of people who are so inept that the things that seem to me as the most basic things in the world are completely lost on them!
Sigh ... I hate being so stressed out. It hurts me and pisses me off even more. I am so stressed it becomes a perpetual motion type issue. It feeds itself and the flames go higher and higher.
Who am I to lambaste anyone? Who am I to accuse anyone? I read once that it was better to just let it go .. it doesn't matter .. not really in the long run.
I hate my life some days so much ... I would love to walk out of my job sometimes and just disappear. I could do it ... I am capable of disappearing. It wouldn't be fun, but I could do it. I have done it before.
Maybe it's time again. Time to move on ...
I suspect you'll get it .. at least you should.

There's a voice that keeps on calling me Down the road, that's where I'll always be.
Every stop I make, I make a new friend, Can't stay for long, just turn around and I'm gone again
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down, Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.
Down this road that never seems to end, Where new adventure lies just around the bend.
So if you want to drive me for a while, Just grab your hat, come travel light, that's hobo style.
Maybe tomorrow I'll want to settle down, Until tomorrow, the whole world is my home.
So if you want to join me for a while, Just grab your hat, come travel light, that's hobo style
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down, Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.
There's a world that's waiting to unfold, A brand new tale no-one has ever told. We've journeyed far far and know it wont be long; We're almost there, and we've paid our fare with our hobo song.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down, Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.
So if you want to join me for a while, Just grab your hat, come travel light, that's hobo style.
Maybe tomorrow, I'll find what I call home, Until tomorrow, you know I'm free
I suspect you'll get it .. at least you should.

Screw You!
I've been more than a tad busy of late ... sorry about that. I guess you gound say that I wandered off the trail and couldn't find my way back for a while.
SO ... SCREW YOU!
Ahhh ..... that feels better ... here have this to put it in perspective!
Had a moment the other day about some serious thoughts about some important lessons that have been taught to me over the years, and how I misunderstood some of them. Weird. Just when you think you get it ... you get it again.
Oh well ... as Robotman says to me oh so often ... "How's your plane ride?"

Putting things back into focus ...
I was so close to writing a blast about Apple's lawsuit against HTC ... then I saw that Corey Haim passed away. I read some of the posts about his death, and read about his battle against addiction.
Addiction is something that I have a painful history with. I know what it's like to have something be your master.
To be a slave was one of the most humiliating and denigrating experience in my life.
I remember waking up and begging God to kill me already, because I wanted to be free of my life of servitude.
People have told me that I did it myself, that I just had enough and wanted to quit, but I tell you that there was no way I was going to be free under my own power. I was so addicted that I was willing to do what ever it took to get my next. Then, I stopped cold turkey. It's not possible from what I understand. You are supposed to have some physical impact. I had no impact.
Nothing.
To me, that has always been proof of a benevolent God.
I damaged many friendships, torpedoed a couple of relationships, and destroyed trust that had been built over many, many years. When I quit, and was free, I had many apologies to make, and surprisingly (at least to me) many people took it all in stride and were please to have the "Old Me" back.
I always thought that the "New Me" was way better than the old one, because I believe that the old me, well, he's dead in a ditch.
Good riddance.
Anyway, like I said in the beginning, I hope that Corey Haim has finally found some peace.
Less Maudlin tomorrow OK :)

What a bunch of Hypocritical Crap!
Ontario condemns dissent at universities
http://www.straightgoods.ca/2010/ViewArticle.cfm?Ref=305
You bunch of hypocrites! I don't really have a problem with the fact that as Canadians, we protest that we have an issue with another nation violating peoples human rights, but when we protest that someone has and "Apartheid Policy" and has put people on a "Bantustan", I think we had better hang our heads and be a little more embarrassed.
Apatheid - A policy or practice of separating or segregating groups
Bantustan - A bantustan (also known as black African homeland or simply homeland) was a territory set aside for black inhabitants of South Africa and South West Africa (now Namibia), as part of the policy of apartheid.
Gee ... that sounds like a great Canadian Institution ... oh yeah ... THE INDIAN RESERVATION!
I am not supporting the fact that Israel has an oppressive attitude against the Palestinians, nor do I believe that any policy that subverts the basic human rights can be tolerated by good men but before we stand up and start pointing fingers, we should make sure that someone can't point them right back.
Now before I hear the "Thomas Jefferson" defense, I want people to understand there is NO defense for Canadian History. Israel's been doing this for 50 years, while being surrounded by hostile nations. How long has the reservation been here in Canada? 100+ years? Are we surrounded by hostile nations who claim the First Nations as political prisoners?
How dare we point the finger of blame at a nation under siege for doing what they do when we have been doing it far longer, just quieter.

Pardon my Language
Why is it that the world today has become so tolerant of the poor practice of the use of profanity in everyday speech? I myself fall victim to this reprehensible bad habit FAR to often!
Profanity is the common crutch of the conversational cripple.
--David Keuck
I mean how massive is that! Seriously? Instead of telling someone to "F*&K Off and Die!" why not something way more classy and inspirational like:
"Go ye forth into the world and multiply, oh Infidel! Then may you perish upon the graves of your ancestors!"
I mean really! Doesn't that sound WAY cooler? I mean even the everyday use of English is being interjected with the common abbreviations of the internet and the "slacker culture".
This is to no way to demean the slacker culture, I mean with out slackers and wastrels, how would we have anyone to pick on and ridicule in the 'Politically Correct Future' that we have created? Thanks to the Canadian Charter of Wants and Gimmies .. I MEAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS ... we live in a world where the good of the one out weights the good of the many. Were the demands of the vocal minority have more sway than the silent majority.
Wow! What a way to meander! I suppose a 16oz Rum and Coke with a nice twist of lime was sort of a bad way to start a blog ... or maybe a really good one!
