$chool'$ expen$ive CON$ideration$

I've been living on my own in New York City since I was 15 years old
Yep paying rent and tuition those years too . I gladly paid tuition for the advantages that my private school offered over NYC public schools. Particularly the facilities were more than most could ask for in such a crowded city .


But I've never made a lot of annual income and yet I've never qualified for financial aid for college. ( i guess i should have had some dependants when I was 16

Now I can't get loan to cover my classes at a relatively inexpensive private college (1750 per course.) . It will only cover up to 3700$. So I'm forced to go part time even though I'm ready for the full time workload. I'm forced to slowly go to school.

Now my father was invited to attend college for free as were many others from his generation .. Yet back then 60's and 70's College was still more of a choice an option ..

Now their generation (I toss blame like nerf balls) has left us with an economy where you now need a PHD To flip burgers (you have to go)

and (you have to pay for it)

fafsa is just a tedious mandatory procedure I have to go through every semester only to be rejected for any financial assistance because I'm capable of paying ?

I've never received tuition reimbursement although I've tried at every company (magnates in foreign countries) there's always some reason why I can't get it that year and begging is against my religion



- thank the master proponents of the ---trickle down vacuum up jobless economy--



most working class poor independent students in America are taking out loans now these loans are increasingly being handled by private financial institutions.

yet I hear the economic numbers are great .DOW's at 13000

But I heard from several unrelated people that there was nearly a riot when New Yorkers went to apply for a handful of entry level positions starting at 9.$ bucks and hour at the MnM store in midtown - true story

Did that make your business report.?

but its important almost as important as President Reagan's observation about the Russians not having many cars per family yet tooting the strength of their economy .. i read about that in gradeschool and realized
reported numbers can have little to do with realities

but the Dow just broke 13000 HURRAY!!!

I'm gonna have a DOW POW WOW party and you're all invited (all?hmm)

I am an Economics major and of course they don't emphasize this in class but what I am learning about is all the accommodations and considerations the government the IRS make for large businesses. To me the only reason why accounting is so complicated to normal folks is because they don't want to tell you how much they earned over how much they spent so they send you on a dizzying Odyssey of numbers, abbreviations, excuses and exceptions.. assets are included in revenue..appreciate or depreciate

needlessly complicated or very necessary ?

I know all about the double taxation that business possibly face . .. I just don't care because employees feel that too. I don't think any one from the government made any consideration about the depreciation of my jackets and cars or the relative/malleable ways I may report my earnings.. they don't ask how much rent/mortgage/taxes I have to pay living on my own or the mandatory travel expense /tax imposed on all new yorkers who have to take the train. The monthly pass is nearly 80$
In fact when applying for financial aid they don't even consider how someone can live in NYC and make estimate. $25,000 a year pay rent travel food and pay $24,000 a year in tuition.

Yet we have to go to school now thanks to economic policies that were formulated when I was in grade school ..How can anyone expect students particularly independent students to manage the cost of schools they have to attend (I thought Glasgow in concert by now) because of the economic outlook they had very little influence in shaping?

(make the baby boomers pay!- I sure know how to make enemies :)

WHY force American scholastic achievers to take out a loan for a service they clearly can't afford and won't be able to if their going for the wrong/noble burger flipping degree.

Does anyone make any considerations for those who really need it.?

I will
I will consider you
I will accommodate you ..
I would like to live vicariously through your accommodation.


screw it ill just pretend I'm Exxon- they get plenty of consideration and as a reward for craftily taking more from America than they're willing to give in service or jobs. (They remind me of poor ole GM-oblivious and blatant- check the policy makers). How about Haliburton which has finally decided to pick up and vacuum American Employees money from from a foreign location. (hey blatant Hali sugar daddy war bucks best buddy don't bother to employ more people in the country where you make most of your profits and consideratons.. leave it to Toyota and other foreign companies to do that)


so my revolutionary economic principle-- I've never heard espoused on TV or in class or by any politician in school or film


MY Explicit Simple Plan: Companies should not be prohibited from firing employees. However very profitable companies should be encouraged to hire more workers in proportion to their profitability .Practical application of social responsibility .(trying to prevent companies from firing workers is not working in France and that dynamic stifles employees incentive. )


Ever deal with a service worker like the DMV or the passport office where they are under no pressure to perform well.. it 's like you become the service worker.

So fire them at will but when I hear that a company is the most profitable I also want to hear how their hiring practices contribute to the economy they are Taking money from (feel free to do business in Venezeula or Zimbabwe (I got whole page on you coming Chavezeula)..we don't like being economically raped in America).. Because this is consumer driven economy .. not business not government .. and yet business and government are working together to eliminate the consumer and the consumer's purchasing power. ..


here's a rule in economic I have not learned in school


EMPLOYEES PURCHASE SERVICES, COMMODITIES AND GOODS- without employees every business suffers. From Exxon Fox News to the Gap to Ben and Jerry's .. the first to suffer are the commodities/services you don't really need.

GreedyMan You Hurt Society. People need expendable income to pursue interests that benefit society overall. New ideas and innovation are borne out of the luxury of time and perhaps expendable money to manifest great ideas

Could the Wright Brothers take to the air if they had to toil the fields? If they had to toil to get food for the next toiling we have to unleash this potential by spreading the wealth around enough to perpetuate more wealth for society overall via innovation.

The CEO's back then were getting that plane together?


This is why ideas and content have to be protected and credited correctly. because some people with good ideas have many many more in store. They naturally shelve the ones that are great the ones that can save society once they see they cant even win credit for their contribution.

you cannibalize your potential profitability by supporting a economic principle that does not encourage the creation of jobs in large profitable companies


NO Employees=NO Consumers --i know its not as complicated as depreciation but i hope you can appreciate it's simplicity


If 10000 people who want and can afford a flat screen tv .. there will be 10,000 purchases that will support jobs and the flat screen tv industry ..
but gazillion billionaire with a BUSH tax break is still only going to want ten or twelve TV's to have around the house. The flat screen TV industry suffers.. so everyone should rally behind the explicit principle of job creation.



so fire employees who don't meet standards but try to replace that headcount. Because the overall economy diminishes and the revenue relegator will eventually knock on the door of your business/firm

very profitable companies should be encouraged to hire more workers in proportion to their profitability. If only to contribute to the dynamic that makes it good to do business in America .
Millions of Employees with some expendable income ...(don't like it ...feel free to do business in Chavezuela)

John Doe Cho 2 Empathize or Vilify?

More tears than rain


Sometimes it seems there's no vacancy in the city of sadness






I didn't want to touch this one till some time had passed but i have a lot of other things to get on to .. Relevancy waits for no one. We all can understand what it's like to be ridiculed or feel ostracized so there is often a moment in which good people ask was he reliving Carrie?
At first I may have felt just a slight bit sorry for cho but as the details of the assault and murders poured in Things like chained doors The lengthy wait to secure two legal weapons his desire to share with the world juvenile and narcissist thoughts The unabatting yet farcical violent demeanor diminished my empathy for the lad


For the families of the Virginia Tech you have our blessing and deepest sympathies. One boy reminds me of myself in high school and camp and secondary school where I was typically the only one or one of the few colored students who integrated schools and camps without malice to my whiter or richer peers.





Back 2 School


I had valuable gifts too endowments and advantages that are often tainted by privilege . The kind that don't get listed on magazines or discussed in TV commentary like ambition integrity authority and trust and the knowledge that my perspective wasn't the only one an insular perspective.


Perspective is like a the preparation of a semi simple meal every body can a make cheese toast with toppings but your toast with toppings will taste horrible if you never sampled or heard of or seen or were interested in any one else's toast..

Cho you were never interested in anyone else perspective about socializing and that led you to have a warped perspective .. Cho since you never sampled anyone else's toast since you never learned explicitly how one makes toast your toast was nasty... How do you know your own toast is nasty you have to sample others. therein lies the incentive to socialize even if it's something you don't initially have a knack for .

I'm sure there were a lot of students who felt awkward or out of sort at that school. socialize with other toast makers with chefs,.. If you were too scared to do that read textbooks reference books on the topics that will help you resolve any shortcoming and increase your courage . . everyone's not going to be first hand on socializing .

Just like others struggle with literature.
However cho I will not contribute to making you a star in a few weeks and a few dozen blog entries I won't remember you (hell I don't remember who I was fornicating with a few weeks ago) But right now after zipping through your play and going over the details of your massacre
I have just about lost all sympathy for you and other Isolated types (yes my empathy basket spilleth over) The students and teachers list examples in which they try to reach out to you. You should not have rejected them simply because they were different . It was the same premise you assumed they rejected you under.



You may have perpetuated your own isolation . The paralyzing fear evolved in to a paranoid cynicism However that paranoia led you to murder or try to murder scores of potential youth
Of course I can forgive you but now you have to earn it. This behavior will not be rewarded Cho If you thought those kids were mean.. you have no F@#$@$^ing idea how mean kids can be When I was in gradeschool (public school PS 9726976) we had this young asian lad. he was fantastic a dancer outgoing and quit witted. But when he first used to dance n performances for school parties etc. They would call out "chicken fried rice egg foo young hitachi sony whats goin on." (a tad racist no?) You know he would just dance harder and he loved it . Soon after he hung out with guys most thugs were afraid to hang out with (and he had his own song!remarkable rememberable) and bless him he was one of the true stars Ive seen get no love in this culture .. But he got love in PS 9726976



First you have to endure teasing from me Cho.. Did I mention I'm from the Bronx?. I'm not as blunt elementary students but I get the job done. I would like to begin by saying everything the students in his class could have said but didn't after reading Cho's plays.
Cho's plays







Cho's plays
This is also a perfect SNL or Mad TV skit though it may be way to soon to do it.
The scene takes place on the day when Cho is reading his very bizarre "plays" to the rest of his collegiate class .. So right after cho reads the plays. The class goes round robin to discuss it


Meg the Deep : I just have to say "john" the recurring character seems to suffer constant devastation and for no reason purpose knowledge reward resolution or understanding

Tad the Man : Cho I know you were aiming for horror or scary but I found it quite the comedy. Good job. Especially since you use the term "ass-rape" rather liberally. I love to hear about a bloody good ass rape


teacher: next please!


Jan Smart: I think there's space between "MC" and beef in mc beef
Dan the man 2: I thought the play was a comedy too "ass rape" what a clever way to utilize shock ? especially when it's employed 80 times in a row. The funniest part is when "john" first states he has "suffered" an ass rape for using an insult against his teacher. Then the other character seems only interested in the nature of the insult ? what was the bad name again? meanwhile as the observer I'm thinking: what was that about ass rape part again? Hilarious. good job bro


SoniaWont Boneya: I must refer to the passage where in john tells his stepfather that he will not be raped". But then he lists an assortment of qualifiers .. he states explicitly that he "will not be raped by an "old balding fat stepfather" .. So will he raped by a thin muscular hairy stepfather?


teacher: we can come back to that later



jack is proud : perhaps sonya "John" is using rape to excuse away his obvious gayness..If someone were raped as an adolescent then in general people tend to sympathise with his or her gayness.no?


Kara IsOffended: Is there an audience for a play that is so revealing in terms of the lack of tact with which the author infuses anal rape into the otherwise plotless parables?

The Wrong Way To You

what r you here for ?


Why do people always seek out and affirm associations and groups to define themselves? Many people think God-Nature-karma know them better than they do. How can God know you when you don't know you? there is free will. If you aren't sure of even your next move what do you want to take from this existence and what you want to give when you don't know what you are capable of everyone is so captivated by these outward associations (thing you have to look out ward to identify) 'Christian' 'black' 'gay' 'blond" American. We are distracted from our purpose to humanity while outward associations serve as distraction (red-herring) to the ultimate truth. the problem is that we look outwards for our identity not in it is built from the inside out like most solid stable compositions to have a broader more comprehensive understanding of oneself you may have to shed superficial labels (superficial in relation to what you are supposed contribute to this existence epoch). You are here for a reason and identification is integral step to identifying that purpose, yet identification should not distract you from your purpose.

New Rules Regulations

Did they bring back debtors prison while I was sleeping ?

there always some new rule law regulation or prohibition .. I can't blink with out hearing about another one..

You cant jay walk you can't chew gum on the bus you cant eat and walk at the same time
Sometimes im afraid to pick my nose in my own home. all are now reason to search and arrest you. God forbid you get arrested you could be held in jail for months or years if you cant Make afford pay $$$$$ bail

egalitarian?

WE have a much easier time in this country approving restrictions than extending freedoms

no one talks about a referendum for doing away with bankruptcy laws that protect those who stumble into overwhelming debt.( mostly people dealing with high medical care costs due to the lack of affordable healthcare) those old laws saved quite a few currently rich men . But then those who are all for the machine propose we should have a referendum on extending civil rights?

If you want to extend freedom you should be prepared to get stoned in the street for it

It's great that we ended slavery only to slowly reimpose it on the entire American population .

is there anybody out there down for life not the machine ?

Get Active with Lunesta

I love the Lunesta commercials ..

"Please consult a doctor before becomming active".. First isn't that a delicate way to say get high get medicated. I didn't know taking prescriptions qualified as an activity.

I've gotta use that now(It's mine)
doing drugs is now officially an event !!.. Thanks pharma-lova
1. usually one has to get 'active' to force down her mother's cooking !
2. how 'active' is sleep medication anyway?

TRIVIA OMNIVORES?




The funniest thing about the runaway a bride story of the past year is that if the woman had reported herself missing were mexican no one would have cared at all! That search and rescue crap wouldn't have been television fodder.Now the press is mad at her for "cherry picking"and leading them on a public goose chase. (I personally had cramp laughter). Because that's what you get you racist bunch of trivia omnivores. EVOLVE try emphasizing a relevant story next time like the missed opportunity with Rwanda and Jeff Ganon. The Irony. Why does it exist? Maybe God is trying to tell you something.
AM I THE CRAZY ONE HERE
