April 26, 201213 yr My degree is in "general studies", I've found it's pretty useless for getting a job, but it's useful for something to hang on the wall of my cubicle and hide the stain from where I accidently splashed coffee when I did a combination cough/sneeze/hiccup a few months ago. ROFLMAO!
April 26, 201213 yr As a photographer, I take offense to the above photograph. Well, that's part of the joke. The people that work on the Daily Show have 4 out of 5 of those types of degrees.
April 26, 201213 yr I am confused. The architect is always rich and desirable in every romantic comedy that I have sat through.
April 26, 201213 yr Mike Brady made enough to pay for all those kids, Alice and the Brady house. He was gay!
April 26, 201213 yr I didn't know that when I was a kid, but watching the show now I can kinda tell. His look changed a lot more often than the average straight guy's.
April 26, 201213 yr I would think Journalism is under Fine Arts? Not the way it's practiced by many of the "professionals" in both print and broadcast media nowadays.

April 27, 201213 yr Architecture is a weird field. I find more people (including myself) accompanying their architecture degree with something else....like an MBA or planning degree or engineering. If you really want to live the dream of being an architect but also scoring a six figure salary you need to pick a firm that is building projects almost everywhere in the world, and then put yourself in a position that's very specialized but also important. In bigger multi-disciplinary firms promotion and pay raises are mandatory so it's hard to get stuck. Big firms have to constantly push younger architects up into management roles because they need to keep the design staff fresh and exuberant as they come out of college with bold new ideas. With multi-disciplinary firms, when there's a work slowdown and the architects get bored they can get staffed on other tasks more related to engineering and construction. One day I might be working on renderings and the next day I'm laying out security cameras for Telecom. At many firms, this flexibility is not at all possible just because the diversity in tasks is non-existent.
April 27, 201213 yr Came back from a white sox game tonight and found someone standing outside my apartment door. I asked if he was looking for someone. And he said "no" I said, "well can I get to my apartment?" He moves out of the way. I unlock my door and then say "Can you get out of my hallway." He looks at me annoyed and had the nerve to say "It's a public hallway." I reply "Not this part of it...I pay for it" If you don't like that, we can talk it over with building security. Guy walks to the stairwell and heads down. I called security anyway. I wonder if I stopped an attempted break in. My building has never had one since there's cameras and security, but once in awhile the homeless manage to find the back alley door unlocked and wander the building.

May 4, 201213 yr You know what? I'm kinda disappointed in how strong our Union is, here in the United States. Wouldn't it just be fantastic if we could vote to kick our least progresive states right out of the union? Alabama, go survive on your own! I mean, who needs them? Here is a state that didn't even abolish slavery until 1995! You heard that right, 1995. Not 1895. It is also a state in which 45% of Republicans not only disagree with interracial marriage but think that there should be a LAW, BANNING interracial marriage. Wow, to think that some of our states are so regressive and yet they do have influence on the Public Policy of our Society.
May 8, 201213 yr Look what I discovered in a vacated elevator shaft in my office building!! Why was I never told of this!?!?!?!?! A nap room!!!!!
May 10, 201213 yr ^Looks cozy :) Maaaan, this Hershey's Birthday Cake Ice Cream is SCRUM-DIDDLY-UMPTIOUS!!! It's Ice Cream, Birthday Cake and tastes like it has Whipped Cream in it! You know the good birthday cake, the stuff you get from the bakery at the store? It has a very specific taste, it's not like the bullsh!t you make at home. It's THAT stuff! Chunks of it inside! Hints of Blue Frosting in it too! I don't know why people choose to eat healthy and pass up stuff like this. Life is too short to not enjoy something like this! MMMMMmmmm. I think I'm about to orgasm.
May 10, 201213 yr That's the real shit right there. I've had that before. I won't stop there, I'll eat a ton of it. ------- Stop lights are unpredictable. I've been doing the same bicycle commute home for 3 years now. At one of the city's busiest intersections is DA turn lane signal. After cross traffic clears, it's always a left green arrow....ALWAYS. Well this time I was a bit paranoid and was closer to the median curb than usual. I wasn't on top of the wires so I guess the sequence was running through some alternative signaling. Right when I expected the green arrow. It didn't.... I had just rolled past the crosswalk in anticipation when oncoming traffic approached. Well, I waited until traffic cleared and made a left on a red. It was the first time I used the new Illinois Law which permits bicyclists and motorcycles to proceed through red lights when the signal fails to change in a reasonable amount of time, or they believe signals are running incorrect sequencing. There was a cop that had just pulled up, so I guess the law works since he didn't follow.

Hints of Blue Frosting in it too! I don't know why people choose to eat healthy and pass up stuff like this. Life is too short to not enjoy something like this! MMMMMmmmm. I think I'm about to orgasm. I don't think Hershey's ice cream is available in my area. The first time I encountered it was four years ago in a ramble through rural Pennsylvania; I became a fan for life. If by "the bullshit you make at home" you mean cake from supermarket boxed cake mix, you're right. Cake made from scratch with fresh ingredients is a whole 'nother deal, though. For chocolate layer cake, I use Mom's old standby. It's the recipe from the Hershey's cocoa powder can, the old one from back before everybody got all fat-conscious and took all the flavor out of food, and it calls for eggs, shortening, and evaporated whole milk in the cake and half a cup of butter in the frosting. I only bake it for potlucks and carry-in dinners, because if I make it for home I'll eat the whole thing in two or three days. There's no breakfast that can stand up to a big slab of chocolate cake with butter cream frosting, half submerged in a bowl of milk!
May 10, 201213 yr Why was I not made aware of these cakes??? I will post the recipe soon. Right now, I have to take care of some pressing mundane responsibiities.
May 10, 201213 yr It used to be that when you got a cake it had that really awesome dense frosting that got a hard layer on top. Now it's all that whipped BS that just slides right off.
May 10, 201213 yr Mmm. Thanks, Today Show. Wow, really? I can see the first two being a little "useless" since you can so easily be self-taught but the rest? No matter what someone goes to school for, they can get a lot out of it, if they choose to...
May 10, 201213 yr I feel like I'm getting old. Whenever I'm in a cold room, the joints in my knees ache really bad.
May 10, 201213 yr I feel like I'm getting old. Whenever I'm in a cold room, the joints in my knees ache really bad. Lawd. How old are you know? 25? Have you talked to your Doctor?
May 10, 201213 yr Does anyone in your family have arthritis? Joint pain can be attributed to many things, but if it's the kind that comes when it's cold, yeah, that's probably early arthritis. That's about the age when my hands first started to hurt. It's worth mentioning to the doctor next time you have your physical because inflammation can be attributed to other things going on in the body, and it's a good idea to have an annual checkup just to make sure none of those other things are going on.
May 10, 201213 yr Yeah, 25. No. Didn't think it was that serious. Go see your Doctor. Something little today could be a huge problem tomorrow!
May 10, 201213 yr Yeah, 25. No. Didn't think it was that serious. Go see your Doctor. Something little today could be a huge problem tomorrow! Haha...I wish I could view life like that. Doctors cost money. I would wait until the pain was prohibitive, then I'd go to an Urgent Care center. ER and private doctors are WAY too expensive.
May 10, 201213 yr David, I think you have some old timers trying to create a bigger scare than there really is. On the off chance that you don't have long term lyme disease which has caused irreperable joint and/or heart damage, my guess is that you've got what I technically refer to as 'creaky knees'. I have them too. Of course, I blew out one knee in HS, but the other is just as creaky (actually, crunchy, to be truthful). I'm almost 41 and I can still walk. My back hurts now, and I've lost some hair, but I don't think that's related. So I wouldn't rush to the doctor. You might bring it up at your next checkup, but there's really not much you can do. You might take some of that Glucosomine Condtroiten/ whatever, but I've taken it and never noticed much difference. Or you can just resign yourself to the fact that as you get older, your body gets more creaky, rub some linaments and salves as needed, and just go on with your life.
May 10, 201213 yr Why was I not made aware of these cakes??? Now you have been: Chocolate Cake 1 3/4 cups sugar 2/3 cup shortening 2 eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 1/2 cups sifted cake flour 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 cup buttermilk 1/2 cup Hershey's Cocoa 1/2 cup boiling water Preheat Oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch layer cake pans. Cream the sugar and shortening together until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition; add vanilla. Sift together the flour, baking soda, and salt; add alternately with the buttermilk. Make a heavy, smooth paste of the cocoa and boiling water; cool slightly; add and blend well. Pour into prepared pans and bake for about 35 minutes or until done. Cocoa Frosting 1/4 cup Hershey's Cocoa 4 cups confectioner's sugar 1/2 cup butter 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/2 cup evaporated milk Mix cocoa and sugar. Cream part of the cocoa-sugar mixture with the butter. Blend in vanilla and half of the milk. Add remaining cocoa-sugar mixture and blend well. Add remaining milk and beat to desired spreading consistency; additional milk may be added if required. Yields filling and frosting for two 9-inch layers.
May 11, 201213 yr Yeah, 25. No. Didn't think it was that serious. Go see your Doctor. Something little today could be a huge problem tomorrow! Haha...I wish I could view life like that. Doctors cost money. I would wait until the pain was prohibitive, then I'd go to an Urgent Care center. ER and private doctors are WAY too expensive. Of course. I'm not paying to go to a doctor or urgent care over that. That's ridiculous. People get on WebMD and see that something minor could be something major and assume it's the worst case scenario. It scares them. It scared me too, looking up some stuff but I'm pretty rational when looking up medical stuff online. I basically used to be a victim of Munchasen-by-Proxy. My mom used to always claim I was sick! Send me to the doctor to have me diagnosed with so much crap it was ridiculous. She would do all the talking to the doctor and therapist for me. She had me to the point where I believed all these illnesses including mental illness I had, then I'd get put on all these medications (a lot of which would mysteriously disappear from the medicine cabinet, ha! (ADD, Pain and Anti-Anxiety Meds, anti-Depressants.) I do have a chemical imbalance blocking some brain flow to certain centers of the brain, effecting my concentration; I have had Chronic Bronchitis for two years and I have been injured quite a lot but I didn't enjoy living at the doctor's office for a large portion of my child and teen years. I try to stay clear from doctors. I hate even going to the hospital anymore. I don't even trust them. I got diagnosed with 3rd Degree Chemical Burns (which the doctor told me likely occurred at work when he asked me what I did that day.) The doctor advised me to fill out a worker's comp. claim, advised me to see an Ophthamologist and I told my boss I was tempted to file a worker's compensation claim (which I didn't know would create a lot of hostility between me and him in the workplace and would warrant him to make my life a living hell; I was on the verge of quitting the way he would harass me) but come to find out, those "3rd Degree Burns" were just really bad inflammation and redness from a severe case of poison ivy. Doctors never took me seriously when I said just how allergic to it I am. They just say, "Oh, well, everyone is allergic to it!" and don't even write it down in their chart. I simply don't trust or give much credibility to doctors. They don't spend enough time determining what is truly wrong with you. They get you in there, ask you a few questions and you're out the door with a bunch of prescriptions. Meanwhile, you pay out the rear for the visits.
May 12, 201213 yr For the past 15 minutes there's a drunk couple that's been screaming at each other in the alley below. Cop pulls, sounds loud horn. "Shut up or I'll arrest you both!!!" Gotta love the city.

May 14, 201213 yr semi interesting article about a Buckeye (Dayton/Cincinnati), Irving Babbitt & the state of modern conservatism in America. http://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/american-burke/
May 17, 201213 yr Hell no... I just added my cousin, Rob, on Facebook. His profile picture is one of him and Mr. T, together. I'm so f-ing jealous. I think that's everyone's life goal, to have their picture taken with Mr. T.
