So everything that happens, happens for a reason.

OK so i was reading about the Somali Pirates and again was angered by one single fact.

EVERY THING that happens in the world is some one's fault.
And most the time if it happens to a country its there fault.

Now don't get me wrong, I love the U.S.A. It's one of only... four or so nations i would ever want to live in, but the US like most other nations has a good deal of nationalism going on. "Greatest Nation on earth" Being my point.

I might go with One of the Greatest nations on earth.
Also political spin does allot, commercials saying how bad Canadian and British health care for instance. (Dispite the fact that people from both places live longer healthier lives then Americans)

My point being this.
The Somali Pirate thing didn't just start for no reason.
It started as Somali Fishermen attacking Fishing boats from other country's for illegal fishing in Somali waters. This is not a joke, people from other nations were coming into there waters and steeling there lively hood. Like Mexican in the US.... only you know. There Actually Steeling people's lively hood.

Most every problem the US has ever had, was caused at least in part by the US its self.

The American Revolution started as a bunch of rich people wanting to overthrow a bunch of rich people, and they did it by talking the poor people into fighting for them. Now that being said, they did have some valid points, and they did end up doing something really great with it.

World war II. We basically backed the Japanese into a corner that forced them to pick between doing what we told them to do. (Because we wanted to run the Pacific) Or going to war with us. So of COARSE they sneak attacked us. We were the larger power a head on war would have been pointless.
Now again, that doesn't mean we shouldn't have fought back, or that the Japanese weren't going FUCKING nuts in China and killing people. Just that we DID have something to do with it.

Point being, is this.

If you are my generation, or later, FUCKING THINK ABOUT WHAT YOUR DOING! it will have Impact on your life and the lives of your children.

And if your from the baby boomer generation. FUCKING SHAME ON YOU! YOU GREEDY SELFISH PRICKS!

"God button?" Get the hell out!

OK so I'm sure most people have herd about the "God Botton" Firing.

OK so if you have not.
This is how it goes. A guy in Florida was fired for wearing a button that had a US Flag on it and read "...one nation, under God... Indivisible" OK so before every one freaks out and go's "OH NO IT'S CENSORSHIP!" Not really, home depot, like basically every major and many minor company's around the WORLD, have a damn dress code!

That's the way the world works people, if Home Depot tells you. "You can't were button's on your uniform that we don't provide" That's it, end of story, the law suit this guy is filing, he will end up paying for. (Florida is a loser pays state)
How do i know this. Because people have level law suits like this before and have ALWAYS lost.

If the company police said, you can wear any button you want as long as it doesn't say god on it. Then the man might have a case, but it didn't it just said no buttons of your own.

And not only that, its freaking hypocritical.
People complain that people are infringing on there rights, but then they try to tell a company how to run its self.

The law stats that you cant discriminate against some one on the basis of sex, race, age, or religious views. So if home depot said, NO CHRISTIANS! Or NO BLACKS! then the guy would have a case. (He wasn't black it was just a example)

Going back to my time at Disney.
They have a dress code called "Disney Look" And its VERY strict.
They have been sued over it many times, and never lost. Why?
Because its consistant.
For Instance, with respect to hair.
For males. It stats that.
"Your hair but be cut above the ears, not spiked, above the collar and not obstruct the view of the eyes" Also you can't were hats that the company don't give you.

The best case i have seen some one level at Disney is a Sikh man. If you don't know, Sikh's are from India and as part of there religion can't cut there hair, or beard, but must keep both very neat and clean. (These are the people from India that were turbans)

So the guy couldn't work for Disney because. #1. His hair was to long. #2. He had to were a hat that wasn't Disney issue and #3 he had a beard. (Also against Disney Code)

But he lost the suit because it was based off a hair rules. It didn't say No Sikh's. And just as the Sikh man had the choice and right to say. "I'm not going to shave, cut my hair, or take off my hat" Disney had the right to say. "We are sorry, but you do not portray the clean cut timeless 1950... ish looks.

The Rules are fair. For Instant, "Cornrows" are not against Disney Look, as long as they follow ALL the other rules. (And look much better that way)



OK so I'm done dropping knowledge, Wisdom, Spite and Frustration on you.

Happy Magical GUY OUT! (PEACE!)

Disney college program. (Or the most magical chain gang on earth! part 2)

OK so i went over the whole getting to Disney Thing.
Now I'm going to start explaining the whole thing to you.
And I'm going to start with housing.

OK so when you get to the program, every one is on one of three programs.
#1. The Disney College Program.
This is for college student's from the U.S.A. And about 70% of the people CP's. (College Programmer's) working are on this program.

#2. Career start Program.
This is for High School Student's who just graduated.
I think this is a great idle, most every one should take a year off after high school before going to college, after all you have been in school seance you were five people. About.... 1-2% of the people doing to program are in this boat, and even if they are Career Start program partisipent's they are still called CP's.

#3. International Program Students.
Again still called CP's. These are student's from other country's who are there to work.
Again about 28%-30% of the student's are ICP's. But they are still called CP's.

_
So there are 4 apartments that house CP's. (Three the first time i did the program)
The first and most infamous is Vista Way Apartments. A.K.A. Vista Lay. It made the Top 10 list for penthouses best places to get lucky. (I'm not joking)

Basically think of a dorm with 1600+ people from all around the country / world, were some of them are aloude to drink! It's like a 27/7/364 Frat Party. (Also don't use the hot tub near the bus stop... Just trust me on this one)
_
There is also Chattum square and... some other place that are basically much calmer versions of Vista. And then Finally the Commons, The commons houses nothing but International CP's.

I lived in Chattum and Vista wile there. And honestly its a mixed bag, you meet less people and do less stuff at Vista, but then again you get less sleep as Vista as well.
_
The first time that i did the program i had nothing but good things to say about my experience. (That is wile talking about housing) First appartment i had went through allot of room mates because of the rotation. I roomed with a French Guy (Who was really nice) A German Guy (Who reinforced my dislike of Germany) And a guy from Wales. (Who got kicked out of the program with hitting another cast member)

But after a while the house was below 51% Occupancy so i was re-located to another apartment, In this apartment it was a gathering of American's i found this far less interesting, not because they were Americans but because they were drunk frat boy Americans. Nice guys just not that Intellectually compelling.

Finally i was moved again, this time i picked were i wanted to go, I moved in with some coworkers who i had become good friends with and this worked great. (Mainly because we all kept the same hours)


The program housing is interesting because it lets you meet people that you normally wouldn't, some times this can be a bad thing, but most the time every one gets along. I mean why not? Your all away from home, some of you for the first time. And you all are trapped (Or at least it feels that way) In this surreal world.

The Disney Program make you feel like you live on this Island Apart from the reast of the Non-Disney World. But not in a lonely way, because what ever your going throw, there are other people Right there going throw it as well.

And i guess the best part is you find out that even if every one in the apartment is from diffrent places, backgrounds and cultures. You can still all get along, and if it taught me anything its that all the problems in the world today that people say are because of Religion, Race, Ethnic Hatred and bad blood between people. And really because of stubbornness and ingrained knowledge that we get from the people before us.

In short, if some one has told you that another group of people are bad or your enemy. You have been lied to. (I have reasoning for not liking Germany, ill get into that latter) But i never really Disliked a Germany Because of that, I disliked or liked them based on other things. (Like being a Douche Nozzle)

Good job people before us, its ALL YOUR DAMN FAULT!

(OK enough story time for today kids, Ill be talking about Transportation next, so stay tuned)

Disney college program. (Or the most magical chain gang on earth! part 1.)

OK so let me set the scene for you, Its 2006 I'm a 23 year old college student who has lost basically all motivation to do... pretty much anything. So I am walking to class when i see the poster on campus, 'DISNEY COLLEGE PROGRAM!'


ok so i have nothing to do after class so I decided that it couldn't hurt to go to this thing and see what there angle was. So after a 45 minutes presentation i was sold, I did the paper work and thought nothing of it for another 2 weeks, when to my suprise i got phone interview, and then a offer from disney to work in the program. The offer was to work as a "Custodial Cast member" That's Disney speak for Janitor. (Or so people not working Custodial will tell you)

OK so normally i do my homework. (That is that i study stuff before i undertake anything) In reality i normally over plan stuff. Or at least over think stuff, but that William had been overpowered by apathy. So on April 15th I arrived in Lake Buena Vista Florida.

OK so now i need to explain the entire Disney college program thing.
Here is the jest, you come to Florida, stay in a apartment complex much like the gated community that are all over Florida.
They pay you Minimum wage for Florida, and charge you a very reasonable amount of rent. (When you consider, it has free utility, cable, internet) And Transportation. (I will get to that latter)

OK so i get to Florida and jump throw all the hoops to check in, then i get places into my "household" now on a note i picked to live in a "wellness" apartment, this is a apartment were people can't have alcohol, I was 23, and I'm not that uptight, the thing is i had experience with drunk dorm mates from college.

Now the household are in reality 1 to 4 room apartments that hold 2 to 8 room mates. They are OK apartments, the heating / AC work (Most of the time) And they give you everything you will need to stay there for 4-12 months.

Then you go to work after a introduction to Disney called Traditions. I won't go into this, lets just say it's allot like the process that you go throw to join the Army, just with more pixie dust.

So i worked on Main Street USA, In Magic Kingdom, As a custodial. Now just for a good idle of what that means, that means on a AVERAGE day, i had to clean up after 30'000 people, 1-3 parades and fireworks.
And the thing is, I (and the VAST majority of the people i worked with) LOVED IT.
Because the thing is, 10% of your time is spent cleaning, and then 10% is spent looking for stuff to clean. And 80% of your time is spent talking or helping guests.

(Well that's long enough for right now, I will put part two of this out at some point)

Presedent Obama's Noble Peace Prize.

OK so its a little old in the new's now, but of course most people who watch the news no that the Nobel peace prize was given to our president (That's the US's not the worlds people) Barrack Obama. Now the Committee gave him this award for. "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples" Now I as a angry Right wing of the left part of the middle of the road conservative liberal. Have to admit that sounds a little shaky.

And even Mr. Obama more then likely took the award with a "Ya right" Look on his face. But the prevailing aptitude over on the right side of the fence is that (As sported by Lonesome road Glen Beck) Is that the committee gave the "Black president" a award for being a black president.

See there are Several problems with this idle however. The first being that, there have been DOZENS of black world leaders, and DOZENS of non-white Nobel peace prize winners. And the fact of the matter is that the right are basically the only group of people who give a crap that Obama is "Black"

Second problem i have with this statement is that Obama is half African American. (Also a title i don't like) But since he isen't 100% Lilly white, he's like a AKC registered dogs half Rottweiler half beagle puppy. Just not up to the high standards of Neo-rightards. Because anything less then 100% white is tainted according to them.

And finally, if the right wanted to make a big deal out of this they would point this out. "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples" He got the award for being a Liberal! OMG the Nobel peace prize committee gives prizes for not being a rightard.

And in fact that's the problem with the whole situation, Obama got a Nobel peace prize for NOT BEING GEORGE "SKYWALKER" BUSH! And if you think I'm kidding I'm not. He got the prize for admitting the are country's out there other then the United States.

And why the hell not, I mean the Right are the group that hated France for not going to war with us. A little hypocritical telling people they are free to do what they want, but if you disagree with us on a Major Issue that could cost Billions and get your people killed, then we hate you and we are no longer friends.

So when a man comes along after eight long years of his tall in the saddle political attitude OF COURSE people are going to give them man a prize.

you might be able to spell, but your still a moron.

OK again a little context.
I as you might have gathered can't spell for crap. For one i am Dyslexic, And secondly i was LIED to in school when i was a child.

You see as part of the No Moron's opinion left behind program. I was told that i could spell the English Language Phoneticly. Pho,no,net,ick,ly... ... ... (Looks it up on Google) phonetically.
And there in lies my point. Phonetically isn't spelled Phonetically. Its spell Funetickly.

But that isn't the English languages fault. It's the fault of the moron's who made the English Language.

I mean I'm not the worse speller i have ever seen, in fact i don't normally misspell words, i spell the wrong words. Homophones are my bane. (That's not a metro guy's Nokia) Those are words that sound just alike but are spell and mean different things. (Two, Too and To)

The reason that these words are like this is because of one fact. The people who came up with the English language think the reader is stupid.
And i mean that in the most serious manner, the people who came up with English, Made it because they wanted a simple language that there Stupid Plebeians in Great Brighten could speak. Before that they all spoke Gaelic, Latin or French.

Example.

It's nice to meet you.
Vs.
It's nice to meat you.

Now the makers of the English language just assume that if you use number two, that the ignorant masses would think... Why is this guy i don't know trying to make me into a pork chop.

Meat is the food right not meet? I forget some times.

Any ways the point of this is that just because i can't spell that well, It dose not mean that i, or any one else that can't spell is less intelligent then you. For instance, the VAST majority of people i have talked to in college cant find Crap on a map. (I'm a geography Major) One out of five American's can't find America on a map! And one out of the four that can can't find Canada or Mexico on a map.

It's all about applied knowledge.
I think English rules are Stupid, so i don't pay them much attention, Most people Are Ignorant Self Absorbed Morons, and don't think they need to know were other country's are. (Because "America IS THE GREATEST COUNTRY ON EARTH!") Like they have been or know about any were else.

We are both in fact right.
Your not stupid because you don't know were Bangladesh is, and I'm not stupid because i can't spell.

BUT YOU WERE NEVER LIED TO IN SCHOOL ABOUT HOW TO FIND STUFF! I WAS LIED TO IN SCHOOL ABOUT HOW TO SPELL.

The Generally crappy state of my life.

OK so lets lay a little ground work.
I think you all need to know why i am a cranky little man.

First i would like to say its not all that bad, it could always be worse. "It could be worse, you could be on fire":Grahm Locke.

I have a few good family members. Mixed in with the criminals and the low life's.
I have a few good friends, And i mean really good friends. Despite there failings.

OK so to understand my plight a short history is in order.

#1. I started college at 17, and managed to fail every class with the exception of orientation.
#2. After returning to college two years latter i did alright.
#3. In 2006, I ran away to work at the circus. (The Disney college program) And this still stands as one of the greatest things i have ever done.
#4. I came back and......... Well i don't remember much from this period in time. I think I might have blacked out.
#5. In 2008 I returned to the mouse and did the College program again, but this time i had a plan.

The Plan.
#1. Come back to Kentucky.
#2. Join the Military, Achieving.
A: Employment.
B: Paying off my loans.
C: Getting money for the rest of college.
D: Achieving one of my life goals.

And at this point shit started to go south.

OK so i get home, go throw M.E.P.S. (That's the proccess you go throw to join the army)
And the week before i ship to basic training, i get Shingles. (Herpes Zroster) Which is nasty shit.

So now i am.
Unemployed.
Can't pay for college.
In pain, and were a eye patch, (Which is pretty bad ass)
And living at home with my mother and father. (No shame in that unless your 30 and aren't trying)

And for people who don't know what Shingles are. Google it.
I have in on the face. And the doctor basically put it this way.

"It's like having a Second-degree burns over the right side of your face and eye... But it's going to last for 300+ days."

So any ways, that the general reason i am cranky. But don't get me wrong, I was cranky before that and will be cranky far after the shingles fade.

Greatings from the Happy magical little man.

OK so let me introduce myself, I as my name suggests am a happy little man. Of course the word happy is used in HUGE sarcasm. I am in fact a Angry little man.

But that being said, most of the people i know would say that wile a cranky little guy, i am at least knowledgeable about stuff and... things.

I Keep up with news, and give just enough of a crap to know some of what's going on, and don't give so much of a crap that i am Really Far left (A Leftard) , or really far right. (A Rightard)

So i will be giving you my take on news, life, love and... everything.

O ya, and there will be ranting.

Its Not so Happy In Happy Land

This blog will be on Events and News both political and in general.there may be rants but there will always be entertainment
