Get Your Dunkin Friday
I am tired. Last night was rough. We received some unsettling family news and it stuck with us through this morning. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers, if you do that sort of thing. I've got work in a bit. Then finally a night off.
Here are your highlights:
LA may be cutting jobs & hurting seniors. Can't stress this enough, gov't jobs are real jobs. Also too, raising the retirement age hurts doesn't help anything.
Take that! Scott Walker
Teh establishment is starting to come around for Mitt, reluctantly
Zimmerman's and the police's story is "falling apart"
HEY LISTEN UP! Austerity is friggin stupid
Scalia, a depressingly sad figure

It's Thursday ya'll. My week is at the halfway point, but I'm tired already. I can't seem to catch up on sleep these days. We're in full wedding planning mode and yesterday we picked up our invitations. They look awesome! Super excited to get them out to people once the calligrapher is wrapped up. I've got a ton of stuff to do before work today. Hollerrrrr!
Here are your highlights:
The SCOTUS is a circus
Mitt Romney's idea of funny, not most peoples' idea of funny
Anti-Flag releases an "Occupy" album
For your office, Mounted Zombie Head
George Zimmerman on video puts holes in his and the police's story

Last night was great. I was able to sit and listen to a panel of fellow writers who are making it in Hollywood. They fielded questions, gave advice, do and don'ts, and they all seemed down to earth. You could tell they each a unique drive about them, a "don't quit" attitude, if you will, that I feel I possess. Another strikingly awesome aspect of the experience was seeing how many fellow AAPI's were actively seeking knowledge about the business and how to "break into television." We often complain about there not being enough roles out there for us, but the first step it seems is to write the roles we want. No better way in my opinion. A special thanks goes out to the East West Players for hosting the event at their awesome theater.
Here are your highlights:
What happens if the SCOTUS strikes down the individual mandate?
Britain, austerity is stupid
NRA selling concealed weapon hoodies....
Congrats to Beth Stelling for being awesome always and at SXSW
Maybe the SCOTUS will consider the real consequences of their decisions?

I'm back to work and then off to a cool workshop for writers and actors. I'm trying to balance my new work schedule with my other priorities. It so far hasn't happened, but I'm excited today to run around like a mad man. I've got to head out!

Obama, Care
This by John Cole sums it up. Regardless if you'd like to hear the legal arguments for and against the individual mandate, it's of no consequence. The Roberts' Court does what it wants, even if it contradicts what they've written in the past, said in a speech or whatever. It's about "drowning the government in the bathtub" and these scholarly asshats are more than happy to play their part, robes and all (fuck I'd bet they'd wear wigs if they could get them sewn by the little people).
Obamacare, should be a welcomed change in our country. We have mediocre health care at best in America and the private insurance companies gauge us at every turn. Anything to rein in the insurance companies even a little bit, whether it's covering recent graduates or pre-existing conditions is a solid improvement. Nope, it's socialism. Obama is ruining our country!!! Kenyan! Donald Trump proved he's from there! GET YOUR HANDS OFF MY MEDICARE!! THIS WHEEL CHAIR WAS BOUGHT FAIR AND SQUARE WITH MY MEDICAID!!!
I'd rather have someone slice off my entire thumb and wait in line knowing I have universal health care, then go through the bullshit I'm right now. I get bills, lots of bills, all of which I can't afford. Obamacare isn't universal, but it sure as hell is better for millions of Americans. And it very well could lead to much more sound policies down the road...uh oh I'm talking "long game" folks. But here's the rub, Alito, Roberts, Scalia, and Thomas couldn't care less. As Cole says:
There is no doubt in my mind that Alito, Thomas, Scalia, and Roberts will do whatever they think will help conservatism the most, precedents and outcomes of their actions be damned.
It's their world...

Well the weekend is over. I'm beat. We were in the final days of a big sale, so needless to say I worked a lot and ran around a lot, and dealt with crappy customers...a lot. I did, however have a lovely day yesterday. An early breakfast at the 17th St. Cafe, picked up a case of wine and cooked for my lady, her friends, and my lil sis. I made a baked penne pasta with roasted vegetables, it turned out okay (they liked it a lot), I think next time I'll make the sauce from scratch before using something out of a jar. They always under season that stuff. As for today I'm working on comedy and voice over stuff.
Here are your highlights:
Trayvon Martin case becomes complicated with the ludicrous "stand your ground" law
After a rough couple of years, Tiger Woods wins again

Woah I missed a day, how'd that happen? Oh I know I've been working much more. Both good and bad, I'm here less BAD, however I'm working more GOOD. If you hadn't noticed the Trayvon Martin story is finally receiving the attention it deserves. It's a terrible case of poor judgement, an environment of fear and perhaps some shady police work...hopefully there will be justice for Travyon and his family. I posited on Twitter, the other day, I still can't put my finger on what good the NRA has ever done. We have a ridiculous gun culture in America. It's beyond protecting oneself, it has armed the unfit and encouraged the irrational. I'm aware it's a lost battle, the NRA and the GOP have won the gun debate, however perhaps we can start winning back part of the conversation. "Neighborhood Watch" is not supposed to mean the Wild Wild West. Also too, this is racist. I'm working most of the day, keep ya head up!
Here are your highlights:
Ryan Budget "destroys Medicare as we know it" and hurts the poor, on purpose
Lessons for Progressives
DIY: Lucky Charms
GOP blocks something they don't quite understand

Got caught up cleaning and running errands yesterday. The lady comes back from San Fran today and here best buds do as well. It should be a fantastically fun time...but I work all week. "Girl time" they call it. I've unfortunately had less time to write these past couple of months, I need to settle back into a groove. Find the right soundtrack. If anyone knows any cool writing workshops in LA, let me know!

From the Mix Tape - POLICA
I've become obsessed with this song. There is something ethereal about it that draws me in with each listen. The video itself is a... "thought provoking" as well. Over the last couple of days, through a roller-coaster of emotions, this is the song that's settled my nerves. I'm not sure why, but I'm glad it is so. At this point I can also conclude that I've had too much to drink. Awesome.

Well, after much sweating, prayer and headaches I GOT TEH PROMOTION!! It's not as big of a jump as I'd like, but it's more responsibility, more hours, still allows me to audition and most importantly, pay. Good things. Good times. This hopefully means I can start saving up for our wedding which around the corner. Groomsmen gifts, parents' gifts, BRIDE gift and so on and so forth. As for the politics, above is a video that explains Mitt Romney's problem so well. He kids in a way that's only appealing to the richest of rich. Us real folk can smell the stink of fake pretty darn well *hackspit. Romney is full of fake. Lastly, and also toos, I've got a skit to record today, looking forward to it. Hopefully comedy fame ensues!!

Underlining Theme
Women can't control themselves from their promiscuous ways. So the old-white-pantysniffers-moralkings-vaginahawks, must do it for them. As much as the Right wants to paint this as some religious issue, it really boils down to P and V. Men are allowed to stick their P in anything they want, women need to stop throwing their V at every P they meet. Also too, weaker sex. (h/t Booman)

So the interview went alright I guess. It's basically between me and another person, luckily the company is growing so if it's not my time now...there are more opportunities around the corner. I did find out that my "confidence" can sometimes be perceived as "cockiness"...apparently as with previous jobs my humor is lost on some. Oh well, can't make people understand sarcasm. If we're all adults and you don't get it, it's probably safe to say you never will. Oh shoot, that's me being "cocky" again...doh. In all seriousness I think I'm finally starting to get over my cold and now can focus on getting in tip top shape for the wedding. Four months!
