WelcomeWelcome to the ever-changing world of Jack Wallen's Monkeypantz. This is my nerd world where I offer up to you bits and pieces of my inner workings. Be it rants and raves, prose, pics, whatever. Here you can maybe, just maybe, get a glimpse inside of my mind. And to many of you I should warn you - take much of what I say with tongue firmly planted in cheek. I do write with malice, even though my words are sometimes peppered with a bit more spice than usual. Those that know me know I mean no harm. gHack TeeOrder your gHacks tee and support the cause.
so this is christmasthis week is christmas. christmas. hmmmmmmm... i have to stop and ask myself these days what exactly that means. and i think, at least for me, what it means is family. love and family. okay no.
that's it. i think. for me.
yet another site i am writing foris this getting out of hand or what? so now i am writing for: i am attempting to write an article a day for both gHacks and Brighthub and my usual for Techrepublic. oh, on top of that there's the job at the salon. i am a busy person these days. not that i am complaining. i am glad for my state of busy. but it does keep me from writing here. i know, i know, wah wah.
sorry folksi've been really bad about writing here. to be honest i am uber busy. working at Hair Strobel, writing for Techrepublic, writing for Brighthub, and trying to keep a sane family. So I'm sure you can understand why things haven't been kickin' around here much.
a sweet victoryi was shopping at target the other day and overheard an african american woman speaking to another woman about the election results. the african american woman told the other woman that, when she heard the results she "ran out of the house screaming up and down the streets." this made me realize that, although i feel the election of Obama is exactly what this country needed, i (being a white male) have no idea of the true profundity of this particular victory.
Don't forget to vote!Election day is one week from today. I can't believe it. I can't stand the wait. In one week (and some change) we'll know if our country is heading for change or four more years of the same. In one week (and now less change) we'll know if the country is serious about healing itself or if it is going to continue to wallow in its own cesspool of ignorance. I want to have hope. I want to be optimistic. But I've been optimistic before and it got me four more years of Bush. Hell, my optimism got me the first four years of Bush when Bush stole the election from Gore.
Shero is up on Amazon.com!
I am very excited about this. I realize that it is currently available only to Kindle users, but I think even bigger and better things are in store for this little ditty.
Poor, poor ignorant Sarah PalinFrom the mouths of babes: "I think they're just not used to someone coming in from the outside saying, 'You know what? It's time that normal Joe Six-Pack American is finally represented in the position of vice presidency,' and I think that that's kind of taken some people off-guard..." Said Sarah Palin in an interview today. Let me tell you something Mrs. Palin - Joe Six-Pack has been represented by the PRESIDENT of the US for the last 8 years and said representation has brought this country to its knees.
Republicans bail on bailoutSo the government had a plan. It was the only plan they could come up with. Bail out Walstreet before it sours beyond reparation. This morning the plan went to vote and it failed. How? Here are the voting tallies: The measure needs 218 votes for passage Shortly after the vote Wall Street plummeted 700 points. Our country is in an economic disaster and our government can't set aside partisan bull shit in an attempt to right this sinking ship.
