It's been a while since I've posted something generally personal, so here goes i'm going to have a rant, simply because i'm starting to spill my emotions into facebook, which is unacceptable for my reputation as a confident young bright sucessfull man. har har har!
Okay, i fear i might be falling again. Falling in love with someone, i shall not say who, her identity will remain a secret and no amount of begging will reveal who she is. She holds a really special place in my heart and has been nothing but a blessing to my life, her personality is simply out of this world, no amount of words in my vocabulary could ever explain. Her voice so sweet, so cheerful, feels like heaven to listen to she sounds like an angel; a wonderful creation of god, a blessing to mankind. The sight of her amazes me and puts my pounding heart to rest, her smile outshines the moon.
I've never met someone so optimistic about life and she has full confidence in me. I could speak to her for eternity, i'd spend eons and light years staring at her face and when i run out of things to say it's simply because the sight of her is sufficient enough to leave me speechless, she'll be there to continue the conversation. I feel like I'd never get bored. There's this warm feeling i get from just interacting with here and being with her even when we're sending each other messages through the phone or via facebook, I just can't help but smile at every little thing she says and when she giggles that's when my heart starts to melt.
Compliments set aside, there's just one thing that's wrong. We can never ever be together and there is no chance in hell for a potential serious relationship. It'll be unorthodoxed and morally incorrect if it were to ever happen. We might have a lot in common, thou it's foolish for me to say that after only knowing her for a couple of months. It's such a downer to know that I can never be with her, not because it's a one sided relationship but because she's way ahead of me. I'm not good enough for her, she needs a man not a foolish young boy like me. She'll need someone to take care of her, to support her financially, emotionally and mentally. I am not that person, and it will take me a long time before i ever reach that target and by then it would be too late. This relationship was doomed right from the start, a ship that'll never touch sea, cursed never to float and sail the oceans.
I'd love her with all my heart. I'd be there for her if I could to hold her hand and tell her everything is going to be alright. Assure her that there's better days to come. Comfort her when she crys and hug her. A look into her eyes and she'll know that I'll be there with her forever, I won't leave I'll stay and we'll overcome every hurdle and challenge in life. We would walk across the beach at night staring deep into each other's eyes and smile at each other occasionally tightening the grip around our interlocked hands and laughing as the cool gentle breeze of the ocean brushes against our skin as the waves crash onto the shore and wet our feet. Life would be so easy for us. We'd take everything that life throws at us and turn it into eternal happiness and joy. Life would be amazing. Life would be a breeze. Life with you would be a dream come true. I just wish there would have been a possibility for such a thing to ever happen.
I love you sincierely with all my heart.

I don't understand how Christians can be fiscal conservatives.
How can you read anything in the Bible concerning the poor and still be a fiscal conservative?
JAMES, CHAPTER 2:
1 My brothers, do not let class distinction enter into your faith in Jesus Christ, our glorified Lord.
2 Now suppose a man comes into your synagogue, well-dressed and with a gold ring on, and at the same time a poor man comes in, in shabby clothes,
3 and you take notice of the well-dressed man, and say, 'Come this way to the best seats'; then you tell the poor man, 'Stand over there' or 'You can sit on the floor by my foot-rest.'
4 In making this distinction among yourselves have you not used a corrupt standard?
5 Listen, my dear brothers: it was those who were poor according to the world that God chose, to be rich in faith and to be the heirs to the kingdom which he promised to those who love him.
6 You, on the other hand, have dishonoured the poor. Is it not the rich who lord it over you?
7 Are not they the ones who drag you into court, who insult the honourable name which has been pronounced over you?
8 Well, the right thing to do is to keep the supreme Law of scripture: you will love your neighbour as yourself;
9 but as soon as you make class distinctions, you are committing sin and under condemnation for breaking the Law.
10 You see, anyone who keeps the whole of the Law but trips up on a single point, is still guilty of breaking it all.
LEVITICUS, CHAPTER 25:
35 "If your brother becomes impoverished and cannot support himself in the community, you will assist him as you would a stranger or guest, so that he can go on living with you.
PSALMS, CHAPTER 12:
5 'For the poor who are plundered, the needy who groan, now will I act,' says Yahweh, 'I will grant salvation to those who sigh for it.'
ISAIAH, CHAPTER 10:
1 Woe to those who enact unjust decrees, who compose oppressive legislation
2 to deny justice to the weak and to cheat the humblest of my people of fair judgement, to make widows their prey and to rob the orphan.
3 What will you do on the day of punishment, when disaster comes from far away? To whom will you run for help and where will you leave your riches,
4 to avoid squatting among the captives or falling among the slain? After all this, his anger is not spent. No, his hand is still raised!
Fuck. How did AmeriKKKa screw up Christianity so badly? This is legitimately making me depressed, kids.

resumes and jobs
As the person who directly hires and reviews all resumes and conducts interviews, I can say that almost all of that is 100% true.
The only thing I personally disagree with is the requirement of a cover letter. I'm sifting through 50-100 resumes for any given opening each time I post one online.
I really don't give a fuck about your life aspirations and goals, nor do I give a shit that you walk your dog every day and volunteer at your local retirement home. Very rarely will I come across one that actually peaks my interest within the first few sentences, and instead, I immediately go to the resume and check your previous work experience.
Cover letters are a waste of time when I have other projects I have to complete that day. Get me to the meat and potatoes of why I should hire you, and for god sakes, if you're going to include a cover letter, at least make it half-way interesting.The dull, collegiate level of writing that fails to infuse any sort of personality or emotion into it immediately gets sent to my trash folder.
If I was only getting 10 applicants, my view would certainly be different, but in this job market, you have janitors and former secretaries applying for upper level IT and marketing positions, citing their ability to learn. The best part is when I start seeing your resume submitted 6 times for 6 completely different jobs. Jack of all trades, or what?

american burger
"Just a Burger? Just a burger., it’s so much more than "just a burger." I mean…that first bite—oh, what heaven that first bite is. The bun, like a sesame freckled breast of an angel, resting gently on the ketchup and mustard below, flavors mingling in a seductive pas de deux. And then…a pickle! The most playful little pickle! Then a slice of tomato, a leaf of lettuce and a…a patty of ground beef so exquisite, swirling in your mouth, breaking apart, and combining again in a fugue of sweets and savor so delightful. This is no mere sandwich of grilled meat and toasted bread. This is God, speaking to us in food
