So what's new.
It been a while since my last post so what's new with me? Not much just a lot of stress at this point in time. Taking 19 credits was not my best move I went from writing at most 10 pages last semester to writing at least 60 pages this semester. Lets see my grandfather recently passed away so that was tough. Feels like everything is happening at the same time so thats not always fun. Its nice to be able to vent a little on here, but really most of my problems stem from my own actions. Everyone I think has that monuments when they think there out of control of there own destiny, but that is never really the case we shape are own destinies we got freewill to make dumb choices.

Going off on a tangent.
Hey guys Im gonna take a little break from the 90's and touch on some issues of the day. I'd like to start of with the protest in Wisconsin. Now I'v been following the events there since the start and I kinda just want to go on a little rant if I may. Seeing as its my blog I think that is allowed. Background on my family almost everyone is in the public sector for work and trust me none of them have gotten rich doing it. On my moms side her family has been life long Democrats/DFLers, six aunts and uncles are teachers, one cousin and my grandma they all belong to unions and my dad is a member of AFL-CIO lastly my mother is a member of a different union the name of which escapes me. Any who there has been a attack on unions saying they keep pay higher then it is in the private sector what most don't look at is the level of eduction those in the public sector have. A person with a 4 year degree in the private sector makes more then a person in the public. Ask most people who work in the public sector they don't do it for the money they have a sense of pride and duty they do it for there city, state, and country. As i'v said before they don't get rich they make a wage that allows them and there family to enjoy a nice middle class type of life style. Today on the huffington post and yes I know it has a liberal bias but its one of ten sources I use for news in a typical day. What can I say I liked to be informed hell I even go on foxnews if only to read comments on there articles try it sometime it is really entertaining. Any who getting back to the my thought they had a clip of the daily show that really exposes the B.S around what union members in Wisconsin make starting with a fox news report saying a teacher who makes $50,000 a year is overpaid but they then go into a montage of fownews contributers ranting on how people who make $250,000 a year are not rich and are barely scraping by one even saying that a family of four sending kids to collage are basically poor tell that to my parents who combine income of $110,000 are helping me and my sister get thru collage.

Bless My Son
Hey everybody. So Im sitting here watching the first season of That 70's Show which started in 1999 by the way. So sitting here I started thinking about movies I watched in the 90's and one kept coming up again and again in my mind. The movie is Hercules disney 1995. I used to watch this every day for like six months. It to me is the perfect kids movie its funny, has action, a heart and of course Danny DeVito. If you think about it the 90's with its disney renaissance and start of the pixter empire was great. The movies were great not some half assed attempt at humor you see these days they had real story telling not a bunch of fart jokes thou they did have fart jokes but they were good. Any way back to my point Hercules was a craft of art the songs were great voice acting amazing and it had humor that as a adult is great. This is stuff as a kid you really never got but its really funny as adult this applies to all the movies at the time.

I love the 90's
The 90's what a great time to be alive. You had great cartoons, nice music, we beat the commies, and Bill Clinton was the president. You didn't really have anything to fear in the 90's it was the start of the internet in wide use it was a time of change. I think im gonna end up rambling on about every little detail but hey im a 90's guy. Think about cartoons Dexter's Lab, Two Angry Beavers, I am Weasel, Cow & Chicken. They where great show that were on all the time not like the crap you get today. In the 90's it was great to be home sick because you great cartoons were on all day not like today when in the daytime its nick jr crap and soup operas. All so who couldn't remember the sound of a dial up modem is there anything better in the whole world? The fact that a web page like this blog would take forever to load. We had typing class were today its 2nd nature for kids to be using computers it was still novel for us playing games like oregon trail and frog hopper.
