External Sphincter of Man,
That’s What!

I guess there may be the slightest interest in what I, [Cerebrl], am up to. You know, the guy that runs this little blog. Well, I have been busy with school. Yes, school. Well, that and being politically active, developing a website (paid project that is, yea!), working for an after (urban) school program and trying to get back into working out. At the moment, I am taking microbiology, and human physiology in a short summer semester. If you are interested, here is what I had to write about this week for physiology:

Now that the government recognizes Global Warming (Thanks, Gore.), it’s officially here and it’s time for you to make a buck — no, megabucks off global warming. Call it Global Warming or Climate Change — doesn’t matter, it’s coming. What kind of new, unusual opportunities are out there for the little guy to cash in on? Here are a few suggestions:

$170 Phone Bill!

Fellow Delegates, Obamians, Democrates and Patriots, I need your help. I was Williamson County, Precinct 480’s Delegate Chair, and with that responsibility came organizing, informing, delegating and communicating to all of my precinct’s delegates, which was a large task prior to and during the county convention. During this convention, all my precinct delegates needed to keep in constant contact with me as to not miss a beat and make sure that everything was done correctly. Well, here in lies my big problem.

In staying available and keeping in contact with everyone, I managed to rack up a massive cell phone bill from the preparation and management of the county convention totaling out to $168.57 (Screenshots of bill below)! I, being the struggling, full-time student I am, can barely afford the $30 monthly bill that I was expecting to pay for my normal cell phone service, so you can imagine the tears in my eyes when I opened it up to a bill of nearly $170.

Before you’re out of money, before there’s holes in your socks, before your and your loved ones’ stomachs rumble on empty, you may want to set up a local and personal bartering web.

One can learn from functioning junkies. They will decide upon trading, say a computer game, for cash. What’s to be learned from them is that they have a circle or web of friends, close and even just-say-hello-to friends. This is their market, a closed market, where they can make their rounds. They’re always looking to add others to their personal marketing web. Making their rounds, they also gather leads on what items interest their friends. It works!

Ah, the corporate life.

Okay, they, and I mean they, have fired you because they had to do that in order for the company to weather these bad times and more bad times next year, perhaps. Did the boss even allow you to clean out your desk or locker of your personal items — a trust issue — or did he or she have the company security cops escort you right out the back door? Whatever; Never mind: You lost your job — pink slip, e-mail pink slip, or a verbal: “Get out here!”

WHY?!!

What happened? Why did it happen? Why did we lose? Doc, I want a second opinion. The facts, madam, just the facts. The weather as a scapegoat. Who did it? What malfunctioned? Why? Why? Why? When, exactly, did he snap? Where was I then at that precise moment? What actually happened on November 22, 1863? Answers, answers, answers, we demand answers!

A plane crashes and after an investigation the public is told all 97 passengers died due to a ruptured hydraulic line. That solves the mystery and everyone except the families can get on with their everyday stuff. Also, everyone in on the know can erase that mind slate and … what? Forget about it! So was anything really learned; what steps were taken to prevent a history of these things happening again and again? Does it matter? Not really. Only being given an answer to why the plane crashed matters. Any answer would have satisfied just as well.
