What Does Your Name Mean?

how gay.

guess what asked the bum

the bum hates his job but he had a bit of fun. the bum got a package in the mail today and it was the shirt that he ordered sometime back. the shirt had a short yet poignant message:

I Have No Idea Why I Work Here

the bum wore this shirt to work today and something tells him that he is going to find out how strong his union is in the upcoming days. but you know what - the bum doesn't care. he has finals coming up and those are more important.

update: the bum just remembered about a brand new technology called camera phones. so the bum took off the his shirt and took a picture of his new favorite work attire. i thank mr. garcia for allowing me to use his webspace to host the picture.

is the bum in over his head wondered the bum

the bum wonders if has overcommitted himself. the bum has gotten that next job interview and unless his g.e.d. just isn't good enough, he expects he will have his third job - making his work hour total between 90 - 100 hours per week. between school and work and "getting in shape" the bum has failed to schedule a prolong period of time for when he can sleep. the bum is wondering if maybe he should quit one of these jobs. but that would mean less money and the bum is rather fond of greenbacks, for they buy independence, literally. but also the bum doesn't want to do poorly in school as he is paying for it and that would be a waste of the bum's money (and also, the bum likes doing well in school).

decisions, decisions.

the bum knows this though: whatever he does decide to do, he will be bitching all the way through it.

classic bum.

bullshit said the bum

the bum said he answered on the quiz that he wants to live in the northeast and have four different seasons. four out of those five suggested cities do not satisfy those conditions. bullshit.

the pope doesn't need to reach out to the jews

as most of you already know, the pope was a former nazi. don't say he wasn't and that he was a child so he gets a mulligan because it really doesn't matter. at one time in his life he wanted to see the rest of the world bow down before 'the super race,' but now that's all changed or so we are meant to believe because the church wouldn't name someone who could be a closeted racist to the highest position within their organization (that's sarcasm). still, doesn't matter though. the pope does not need to reach out to the jewish people even if he says he is still a nazi today. all the pope has to do is teach the word of God to the catholic people. notice the bum didn't mention any other group of people. not baptists, muslims, buddhists, atheists or even the jews. the pope's sole purpose, or at least his ultimate purpose, is to lead the catholic people and no others. now, is the pope a recognizable figure - yes; is the pope a powerful figure who can influence over a billion people worldwide - yes; does the pope have the authority to assert a domain of influence over anyone who is not catholic - no. so why should he have to reach out to the jewish people? he isn't their leader, and won't pretend ever to be their leader. now, if he decides that he is, that's a different story but right now that just isn't the case.

the bum doesn't remember the pope making any plans to interact with the jewish people on a more regular basis anytime soon so why 'reach out to them?'

another quick post said the bum

You May Be a Bit Obsessive Compulsive ...

Meticulous and detailed oriented, you have some irrational obsessions. Maybe it's your super neat closet or washing your hands a gazillion times. You probably know it's weird, but you just can't stop thinking about it. In fact, the more you think about your quirks, the more you have to do them.

What Personality Disorder Are You?

incorrect, but who cares? the bum finished this survey in two minutes and now no one can say he didn't write anything for today.

another easy post said the bum

almost accurate.

You Are 19 Years Old

19 Under 12: You are a kid at heart. You still have an optimistic life view - and you look at the world with awe. 13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what's to come... love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You've had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You've been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax.

What Age Do You Act?

sweet said the bum

the bum officially has two jobs now and between the two jobs, finals, and his hunt for a third (second job will only allow him to work 20-30 hrs per week) job, he really doesn't have time to be a witty, sarcastic, raving lunatic at this time but never fear! while reading his favorite blog, he got an idea that will create instant entries with little to no thought at all: blogthings! As the bum takes the next couple of weeks to a month to adjust to his new way of life, he is going to put up one these 'things.' the bum may put up a normal entry but knowing the bum, he will take the easy way out and put one of these 'things' up whenever he can.

You Are a Religious Republican

You make up the conservative, Christian, dedicated core of the Republican Party. You believe it's important for religious people to stand up for their beliefs in politics. And for you, this means voting your conscience - which almost always means voting Republican. Your pet causes include the sanctity of life, school vouchers, and prayer in school.

What political persuasion are you?

why should we care asked the bum

once again israel and ________ (fill in the blank with a country in the middle east) has been in the news again and the bum can't help but shrug his shoulders. while young, the bum has followed world news for close to fifteen years and can't remember a time when a month has gone by without hearing about news from this region. Do not get the bum wrong, what is going on in the middle east is important (right now there is suspicion that iran is developing a nuclear weapons program) but why is it more important than other regions of the world? i guess the bum isn't saying why should we care about whats going on in the middle east but rather why isn't equal coverage given to all areas of the world.

the bum personally believes the situation going on in eastern asia should be getting more coverage. we all know about how japan is an economic rival, but i am not sure most people understand how quickly china and india are challenging the economic stronghold, some say, the US has over the entire world. if economics isn't your cup of tea, there is the persistent civil wars going on in central america and in africa. the world has many problems and certainly the media organizations can't cover them all, but the bum wonders why the situation in the middle east is that much more pressing than other issues around the globe that it must monopolize the world news market in the united states.

interesting quote said the bum

the bum thought this was a interesting quote:

Most people are totally unaware of the darkness of the cave in which the Negro is forced to live. A few individuals can break out, but the vast majority remain its prisoners. Our cities have constructed elaborate expressways and elevated skyways, and white Americans speed from suburb to inner city through vast pockets of black deprivation without ever getting a glimpse of the summering and misery in their midst. But while so many white Americans are unaware of the conditions inside the ghetto, there are very few ghetto dwellers who are unaware of the life outside....Then they begin to think of their own conditions. They know that they are always given the hardest, ugliest, most menial work to do....They realize that it is hard, raw discrimination that shuts them out. It is not only poverty that torments the Negro; it is the fact of poverty amid the plenty. It is a misery generated by the gulf between the affluence he sees in the mass media and the deprivation he experiences in his everyday life.

-Martin Luther King,Jr., Where Do

We Go From Here: Chaos or Community?

the bum is not a bum in the true sense, he is only a bum mentally but economically he is better off than most of those who live in the ghettos Dr. King mentioned. The bum isn't going to state if he agrees with the quote or not because he just doesn't feel like arguing with anyone who questions the validity of the above statement but he just wanted to share it. Its rather powerful and the bum hopes one day he could deliver a message or an argument with such eloquence and force.

on the other hand said the bum

after that rant the bum feels a little bit better and only strongly dislikes his job.

wait...

the feeling is starting to coming back, the bum better stop before he changes his mind yet again.

fuck the job said the bum

the bum fucking hates his job. indeed the bum bitches about his job every other post but everytime the bum comes into work he just gets this horrible feeling and wants to deck someone. the bum really, really, really hates his job and the bum is the kind of guy who will learn to tolerate anything if he recieves money. but you know what? the bum is so fucking close to not even tolerating this job. the bum fucking, i mean fuck, fuck, fuckity fuck hates his f'ing job.

but you know what? he isn't quitting it anytime soon.


fuck!

an idea for a new rss feed said the bum

the bum really is getting into this blogging but still prefers reading others than working on his own. the bum has an idea for a new rss feed- a rss feed that includes comments. the bloggers' pieces are great but their feedback is even better. i think the blog people should get to work on creating this feature.

an intersting piece remarked the bum

the bum would like to note that his friend wrote an interesting piece about Cardinal Arinze possibly becoming the next pope. the bum enjoyed it and thought you would. his website is linked on the right (a friend's website) but if you are too lazy to find it here is the link: http://www.ad1999.org/dino.

then just ignore them said the bum

as the bum has bitched about on many occasions, due to his tight schedule he does not watch much tv these days. but the other day, the bum happened to turn on a news program and was surprised to see the media still bitching about the same thing they were bitching about last september: why should hollywood celebrity opinions matter when it comes to politics?

the bum does not disagree with that. hollywood celebrities bitch and moan about so much stuff yet can't find a way w/ their thousands or millions of dollars to help support a cause. the bum is not talking about a one time donation, the bum means donate 90% of your income to worthwhile causes. whats wrong w/ living middle class? is that considered slumming in hollywood? anyway, the bum is also upset w/ the media for calling on the media aka themselves to stop reporting actors and actresses opinions of the issue of the day because the media continues to invite these people on!

fuck the ratings! how about not being a hypocrite. you can't say stop listening to these people if you are going to invite them on your shows. you, the media, are directly responsible for these actors and actresses believing they can chime in on any issue because you provide them w/ a pulpit that reaches millions of people.

you want them to shutup? here is an idea, ignore them!

what the fuck asked the bum

the bum mentioned in a previous post that he would seek out a second job for the summer and today he did just that. he applied for a night crew job at a grocery store. nothing challenging (because as you know the bum is an idiot and probably couldn't handle it) but at the same time it will bring the bum some revenue that he needs/wants.

the bum was suprised at the application process for the job. the bum isn't one to look down on people but the bum doesn't understand why he had to fill out nearly a hundred page application for a late night clerk job in a grocery store. yes, the application was around one hundred pages but the bum admits it probably could have been scrunched down to around 20 pages...but still, thats a ridiculous amount of information that is needed. its not like the bum will have any major impact with the job or that the job itself will have any impact. the application should have been no longer than two pages and i am being very generous.

what the fuck man.
