Anyone who reads my blog knows that I really hate the retail-slavery-industry-complex. I really don't like focusing on sales, sales, and sales! Yes, I worked in it long enough to know that I hate it all. I don't care about monitoring numbers and projections and all the stuff that working for most corporations, and not only the ones involved in retail entail. While It's good to make a profit, I'm not all about the profit motive above all else. I don't see myself in a career where all I did was make money for some corporation and It's shareholders. I don't aspire to work my way up to some District Manager position or executive for any corporation, not only in retail. Read More

I really hate many corporations. But before I go all ballistic which I will, I shall shout out the good companies and organizations like Working Assests and Coop America. By now if you have been reading my blog you realize that I really wish to see corpratists that suck the working poor and middle class dry truly suffer and writhe in pain. Read More

I plan to apply to low-wage jobs on Hot Jobs and all the other job sites with this cover letter and resume. Of course I'll alter the cover letter to the specific low wage job and company, and notice the email I'm using which is strappedworker@gmail.com in honor of Strapped the book by Tamara Draut. I've also done a resume below which I'm going to send out as a Word doc too LOL. Read More

You know I was listening to Christine Cegelis on Laura Flanders' show last night and she said that her and her people, the organization of volunteers that her campaign excited and built up were not going to go work for Duckworth, but instead they are going to go and help local progressive candidates not backed by the establishment. I think they are doing the right thing. Read More

I just love it when people take movies and TV shows and take them to the next level. When I first looked at the philosophy section of my local Barnes and Noble a year ago I saw a book on the philosophy of the Matrix. Matter of fact I remember reading some essays in the same vein on the Matrix website.

But, now about one of my favorite shows ( there is not many I hardly watch tv ) on television.

The unofficial Battlestar Galactica blog has this post up about the politics of the show as it relates to the real world. Just imagine having to deal with what they deal with on the show! Somehow I think the human race fighting against being enslaved, dominated, and eventually eradicated by machines would unite all religions and all races ( I'd hope ). But this is reality and we have Republicans who use race, class, gender, religion, and sexual orientation to divide us. Read More

Reading about the abuse that the Mexican people have endured from neoliberal policies in maqiladora factories you wonder if there is any hope at all left. For those who do not know, a "maqiladora" is a factory that assembles imported US parts then sends them back to the US. It is truly disgusting, that is the only word I have for such a device devised by greedy capitalist pigs.

Yes, I know it's snowing outside in New York and throughout the northeast and other regions. It does this every year without fail. It does look like a blizzard and I'm quite sure there will be a tremendous amount of snowfall. But a thought came to mind this time. It had to do with the homeless population. In times of inclimate weather, where do they go? Read More

Most people who know me know that I am a voracious reader. I read one book a week and it's been two lately. I don't watch much television except for Sci-fi Fridays ( Stargate, Stargate Atlantis, and The New Battlestar Galactica what a lineup! ) which gives me the time to read that much more and truthfully I highly recommend turning off the TV and picking up a book. You can get all your news off the internet too which gives you more of a reason not to watch TV. Read More
