Owly! It's nice to see you around. I hope you're doing well.

Owly! It's nice to see you around. I hope you're doing well.

It's nice to see you too! I'm doing well. It's been a crazy summer, but I'm pretty much done with everything I had planned.
I hope you're doing well too!

France is on my mind, can't believe what's happening in our world these days.

It can always be an unsurety in finding someone to take over from your job as your assistant.

But after interviews today, I think I may have found the right person for it, God willing.

After I finish interviews next week we will see, but this one in particular is jumping right out as being right.

Sadly, its only going to keep getting worse.

Sadly, its only going to keep getting worse.

There's a rumor spreading all over right-winged news sources that today is going to be the 'Day of Rage' where violent protests will break out in over 37 cities across the US.

http://www.westernjournalism.com/collective-day-of-rage-planned-for-37-american-cities-on-friday/

It's likely a hoax created by a shady news source but now that the rumor has spread like wildfire, there's no doubt that some are going to actually attempt it. What's even worse is that whether this is a hoax or not, someone out there is trying to start a race war.

All of this terrorism is very worrying. It has occurred to me that they're winning, in some sense. We're becoming more afraid, and we're altering our society out of fear that some element of radical Islam will hurt us. I don't like it at all.

So long as our leaders refuse to address the elephant in the room, and so long as they keep on trying to shift blame-- especially when they try to shift blame onto us-- the anger and fear is only going to get worse.

 

[alsughasoughaiuyfygh]

Looking back at my great grandfather's day, I can really see that while they were not a very tolerant society, they knew how to deal with a threat. At least they knew that the Nazis were a threat that needed to be neutralized. Not this generation. If today's generation were around during WW2, they would protest and defend the Nazis because of how we 'persecuted them' after WW1. The leaders wouldn't do squat either out of fear of Germanophobia.


Like Mojoboy31 said, unless we recognize the threat, it's only going to get worse.

I like this quote:

Fate and freedom alike play a part in history; and there are times, as in wars and revolutions, when fate is the stronger of the two. Freedom — the freedom of man and of nations — could never have been the origin of two world wars. These latter were brought about by fate, which exercises its power owing to the weakness and decline of freedom and of the creative spirit of man. Almost all contemporary political ideologies, with their characteristic tendency to state-idolatry, are likewise largely a product of two world wars, begotten as they are of the inexorability's of fate. ~Nikolai Berdyaev

My night at work last night: my boss basically told me to get out of his face when I asked what he wanted me working on, so I hadda go ask another manager, and then I went up front to scout my area, they stuck me with a CAP team person who knows literally nothing, and then I had to go back to the backroom for another flat-bed cart, and I got blocked by a bunch of youths who were taking up the entire alley and wouldn't let me pass. Then they started making lewd comments to me.

I finally got past them, and the phone rang as I was walking by, so I stopped to answer it. It was a woman. Prank call. She said a bunch of things I couldn't understand, laughed like an idiot and called me names I could not repeat at work or I'd get fired. Then I got my cart, got back to the front, and a customer with nazi, dagger, and tear drops tats asked for help moving a pool, so I had to grab the flat-bed cart I'd already gotten, and helped him get it to the register. Then he asked me to help him load it into his big white van.............. And that was just the first twenty minutes of an eight hour shift...............

Man, I am sorry you had to endure all of that. One or two more days of that crap and I would have been driven to quit.

I used to work a thrift store with all kinds of these kind of people so I feel your pain.

Sorry you have to go through that. I seriously hope this isn't a daily thing.

That reminds me of a regular customer we had in a store where I was working back in times for a short time, the guy came in, then very secretively went to a place where there were big amounts of canned food in a messy rack, and then he would put all the cans in perfect order while trying to make it without anyone noticing what he's doing.

Man, it was a lot of work and he did it all voluntarily time after time!

I'm sorry, but why do you not carry a video camera strapped to your head or something?
I am pretty sure that'd make for a potentially hilarious reality tv show. Forget The Office!

You could call it 'Everybody Loves Mojoboy'.

Heck, You'd get so rich, you wouldn't even be mad at me for suggesting this!

If my job was a reality show, you can expect a lot of this...

I think I have found a suitable flamenco school to enrol myself in.

Whoah, what sort of place do you work at? It almost sounds like some kind of TV series!

If you ever get intimidated by a group when you're on your own and there is no option by violence, always pre-emptive strike the one with the biggest mouth first and usually the rest will scatter.
