I'm listening to Rush Limbaugh right now on the radio...
And on his show he just mentioned that 'Black unemployment' is an issue with many in the 'black community'....
In other words...I guess 'blacks' are mad at President Obama, cause their employment prospects are dire....
Ok Rush...you can leave now...the rest has nothing to do with you...
Black unemployment?....what's that??
Are people suppose to hire you simply cause your 'black'?....
If someones green....should they get a job simply cause their green?
So I should hire these people here, just because their 'green'??
Makes no sense to me...
If you want a job...stay in school, graduate, go to college or get a skill or start your own business....
Unemployment effects everyone, regardless of color or shade or gender or nationality....
But you better you chances by having a skill or proffesion....
President Obama can't magically wave a wond and get 'black' people hired....
No more than he can wave a magic wand and get 'white' people hired, or Native Americans hired...
Why do people think like that??
Your getting hired or not will be based on your personal qualities, your ability to speak correctly, communicate correctly ect ect....
Don't blame the President because he can't personally walk with you to interview or company and recommend your personally....
And I know most 'blacks' don't even think like that...media 'blacks' are different from 'real life blacks'...
Just like 'media Republicans' are different than every day practical Republicans'...an so forth...
They way they represent blacks as a whole in the media...well day to day...I just don't see that nor hear those kind of conversations...
Things are greatly amplified in the media, to sell papers, to attract viewer ship and so forth...
Extra Extra! Read all about it!!
I remember watching old Abott and Costello films as a kid...(no not the originals, but the re-runds)...
And there'd be some young lad on the corner shouting
'Extra extra, read all about it!'....in order to get peoples attention and sell papers...
Well they do the same today...only now talk radio, TV and internet are the prefered mediums...
Anyhow...back soon...good gobble sticks..we're already at 40,500...
Wow...
Oh where are you Ed? Oh I'm here...ok...where are you Jim...Oh I'm over there...ok...
Where are you Ted...Oh...I'm up on the hill...Oh ok...where are you Todd...Oh I'm in the restroom...
whatever...but eventually...you have to have something to say....or once you meet, they'll never want to meet you again... -

Ya just never know.....U4EA Thanks this. -
I will say this for other drivers who are to scared too...
And that is...
Screw hirering commities, managers... who sit on 'boards' and decide other drivers, peoples fate, not based on their safety record, or legal record, but rather based on some stupid silly elitest notion that you can determine a persons worthiness based on how many jobs they have held in 'so many years'....
Yet none of you, who sit in judgement, have ever lived your life out on the road, have never spent days, weeks, months, and lost years of your life over the road...
Trucking is not like other professions where your home after a short 8-10 hours at work...most of that spent playing around and socializing...
You sit in judgement of others, and expect them to do, what you could never....
And instead of thinking on your own, you follow this phony corporate template written up by some Proffesior on Prozak, who simply told you it's the model to follow...
You destroy lives, and enjoy it....
Until you get out on the road, and spend weeks, months, seasons away from home every year...your not qualified to sit in judgement of any male/female who does...
But your world will crumble soon....your love for everything corporate.
You have thrown out love and compasion, and traded it instead to follow a lifeless template of greed and treachery....
A 'god' of sorts...you have traded your soul, for a promotion, at the expense of those in need....
Enjoy while you can, cause it won't last...nothing ever does...
And one day, you will find yourself on the other side...while trying to disquise your past as if you were one of us all along...
When infact you resented us, the working class, your labour, your surplus labour class...
One day you will know how it feels....

Road dogs....
Where my dogs at?
(I swear I don't plan these things, events ect ect...but I took this photo on a Indian Reservation in New Mexico...and now it just makes sense)
This stray dog had the most majestic look I'd ever seen in a wild dog before...it was lingering around a truck stop...but was so majestic...it was actually smarter than me...much more majestic than I could ever hope to be...and we met....
But all that aside...'where my dogs at'Last edited: Nov 11, 2011

Sandusky....
Boy how the mighty have fallen...wow...
I'm not here to judge or scorn or scurn...
Power money prestige...
It's embedded in society, institutions, even law enforcement...
The powerful look out for each other, always have...and make people like me
their convient scapegoat, while they themselves participate in untold horrors behind the scenes....
They are sheilded by this thing known as 'Perception'....
Perception can work for or against you...in the case of the powerful, it works for them.
This is a real hot issue right now...so I'm just going to leave it alone...
I just hope they get their program sorted out and put into place better checks and balances for staff, and people intrusted with others...
Thats why it pays to be honest....
I'm honest...it's not people like me, who are honest, that you have to worry about...
It's people who are quiet, and hide in the shadows, and who try to mask their true intentions, and who gain your trust by pretending to be what they think you want them to be (in order to gain and then violate your trust), are the ones you should be concerned with...
But it's easier to make people like myself the 'bad' one...a lot more convient..and fun...
There's people like Sandusky all over the place...what, you think they just exist at Penn State?
They use that public mask of perception to get over on people...
They do it in business affairs, banking, government, religion, even aithiesm, everyone hides behind the mask...
Oh well, not here to judge, just to examine...
He, Sandusky, was treated like a King his whole life, and was doing everything wrong...
I'm treated, percieved as a sewer rat...and have never so much as stolen a tootsie roll from a store....
Oh well...I wonder who's next?
Last week it was Herman Cain...the female accusors, this week Penn State, who's next...
I hear as Newt Gingriches popularity starts going up...more will start coming out about him...
The media seems to really ignore canadates, until it becomes apparent they might or could win...

For some reason...I'm led back to study rappers...there early years...like when they first started out...
I'm led there, cause for one there stuff always sounds better in the beggening, when they're 'hungry' and 'passionate' and have nothing to loose...(that goes for any genre of artist)...
And for two...I'm looking to see what motivated them...
I've never really sampled much of 50 cents early songs...cause I never was a fan of his...at the time he was rising...my heart was elsewhere...with other artists...
But they or I say, everything is about mood and timing...and right now...I'm in kind of a 'lull'...lacking motivation...
So it's only natural that during this lull, I'm drawn to induvisuals who have 'fire'...and in some of these rap videos...they have that...they're young, hungry and desperate...
I see a recipy there (folks I approach everything like a scientist...a social scientist)...
The war between 50cent and Ja Rule....
[ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7IIZpLBfgc&NR=1[/ame]
It's over now...but at the time they were going at it...
Watch the movie 'Get rich or die trying'...and it give a lot of insight into the rise of 50 cent...a black Gotti almost...only 50 cent knew when to get out of 'the game'...
(Maybe Gotti should of started a rap label and crossed over as well)..
Anyhow...50 cent was shot like 5 times...people wanted him gone...both in the drug underworld, and in the highly competitive business of hip hop...
And I think this video is a dis to all those who tried to take him out...and him exposing Ja Rule for who 50 cent really knew him as...a fluff'...
And this, and a few other series of songs, is what destroyed Ja Rules career...
50 Cent was a real 'G'...and out to proove Ja Rule wasn't...and in order to sell records in the hip hop industry, you have to have real credible 'street cred', or no one will believe your lyrics.
But only in the hardcore niche'.....I mean if your going to brag about being tough and all, you have to be able to back it up...and I guess Ja Rule couldn't...
The exact opposite would be what happened to the Dixie Chicks...turns out they were 'fluff'...and they got exposed by other real hardcore C/W artists and fans...after they went over to Europe and dissed President Bush...that wasn't recieved well in the rural communities across America...
Anyhow...I just find this stuff facinating right now...cause as I myself struggle to find motivation right now, even passion, I like to see how others found it...
This street stuff is real...and to make such boastful claims, there could have been real consequences...but in that street hardened enviornment it's like the title of his movie said 'Get rich or die trying'...
And it's that sense of desperation, anger, not caring, that fans picked up on, is why now the guys set for life...whether he ever sells another album or not...he's set for life... -
"
Ok Rush...you can leave now...the rest has nothing to do with you...
Black unemployment?....what's that??

Come on ? You never heard of EEO or diversity programs ?This has been an issue for decades . Minorities with no qualifications often have hiring preference over qualified whites because a given percentage of minorities have to be hired .
I know several small contractors that have their business in their wive's name because it makes it a minority owned business . -
Second...Hi...how are you...I don't get many visitors here...
And third....Welcome to my block....a world of complete and total uncertainty....
