6/9/17 Dream: Time Machine

During my dream tonight I could go back in time. Like all dreams they start off weird and then slowly transition into memories or variations of my memories. Tonight was awesome. I could go back in time but still be my current self. I met a girl during WWII era that was the most beautiful and lovely girl I've seen. She was probably the girl that was for me but unfortunately we are in different time eras. There was parts of that story  where I was planning on running Lt. Aldos Nazi Hunter squad like on inglorious basterds. There was a mini gun, that was one of the first. It used steam power to fire the round quickly and created a tight spread of fire. Somehow that dream transitioned to the dream where I go back in time to when I first met Lori, but it felt even earlier than that. Her and I are in her car or a car and she pushes the radio button on and techno like music comes on, she starts jaming out to it and I'm like you like this? (In amazement) She then keeps flipping through tracks when it lands on some 80s which we both like. We continue to drive as I'm holding her right hand, kissing her hand, arm and we both are feeling blissful and happy like it's meant to happen. Eventually we get down the park back home in my town and we get out still holding hands walking around the track till we see this black family eating a picnic. They have a larger set up going and needed more ice. They asked me for some. Her and I brought the ice bucket over to refill it. I poured the remaining melted ice out of the bucket and looked over at Lori and said their all out and woke up. The whole time we were together I felt good and just happy and even after I woke up the thoughts remained for a short time. When in my dream I could go back in time but not control when and what I was trying to see. But while there I could alter the past and as soon as I went back to the present all of what I altered would reset to how it actually went. Which made me sad at first because meeting that girl in WWII was great but telling her she'd forget me and I her was the sucky part.

I don't believe my dreams are just dreams, maybe some are but I truly believe it's a parallel universe or alternative universe of myself. Sometimes my current life with mesh with my parallel. Sometimes I wake up not knowing what's true or not. But I do know in my parallel universe, I'm much more bolder and aggressive personality wise then I am in real life. Well I just wanted to write it down somewhere. Thanks for listening.

2012 Privacy Policy Copycats...

Google started it with their changes to the Privacy Policy, openly flaunting the changes, getting rid of the "fluff" and fine print to show consumers the changes they made. Now every company seems like it has to follow suit, changing their policies and terms of service. Sony, eBay, Paypal, 1and1, Military.com, Microsoft (everything), I'm pretty sure Apple even changed something. The point of this is, I believe, Google as an publicly traded power-house makes the bottom line higher and higher; and if the companies want to be successful like Google, they too have to follow suit. To me I think its funny that all those companies does as Google does. Let's face it, I wouldn't be surprised if Google tried to absorb some of the companies listed above and with a stock price over $500 a share -- Going on up... To the Google-side...

Android Love...

This is just a short blog post about, why I love my Android. Google has done it again and again with awesome technology that I feel is above the beloved Apple products. I love that my contacts and other data from my phone can be automatically synced to my online account and then when I need the information it is readily available. Its also awesome I dont have to retype and of that information in if per say I lost my phone or bought a new one. Just log in to Google and shazam! Everything back to normal. If any Google employees read this, please know that your skills and services are truly appreciated and I welcome all the changes that follow. I cant wait for Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 on my phone and hopefully when I un-box my Samsung Galaxy Tab it will also update with the ICS OS.

Problem: Online Application Questions...

I'm getting sick of filling out online applications but it's not the application I have the problem with. I'm talking about those STUPID "Assessment Questions" that almost every single employer is using nowadays. This is pure BULLSHIT, I will tell you why right now. Every question formulates around these four topics: Stealing, Drug Usage, Commitments and Stress. Sometimes you'll even get the same question BUT it will be reworded to look like something else. I know the whole point is to see who is applying for your position AND what type of person they are. But everyone knows when you fill those out that the only answer it can be (when choosing multiple choice answers) is "Strongly Agree" or sometimes "Strongly Disagree"; anything in between and you are guaranteed NOT to get the job.

This GIANT waste of time is practically going to do NOTHING for you. My question is why don't they ask some of these questions in the FREAKING Interview instead of online where people could just [lie] about the answers. The computer cannot tell your emotions when filling it out or selecting answers, so why not ask in the interview itself. It's even a more WASTE of time to YOU when, you fill out all the questions (45 minutes to 2 hours worth), have the interview and they don't even have the balls to give you a decent phone call back or some more "corporate" companies will email you a "Copy and Paste" template stating: Dear XXXX we think that your experience qualifies you for another position but not this one. The punchline is to that, "YOUR DUMB and we found someone better". I bet at this point this sure sounds like a rant, and your probably correct. I just think those questions should be destroyed. If anything they should ask questions that are actually going to be of use and instead of asking me worthless crap about showing up on time and do I smoke crack or not. ARE YOU SERIOUS? Come on!

Awesomeness: Chocolate Milk

There are a many of things that I love in this great world and one of those things is Chocolate Milk. As I sit here writing, I'm also drinking a cold cup of the Chocolate Goodness. It just sets me off in a good mood in general. I know some of you are thinking, your 25 and still drink milk? Regardless of my age I know, I will love milk in general forever. Milk is what makes you grow, makes your bones stronger, grows your fingernails and pretty much goes good with anything. Hershey's Syrup is my first choice when I want to indulge into my chocolate-fantasy world and then if that isn't available, I'll spring for Nesquik. Why write about Chocolate Milk you might ask; everyone has something that just sets them off when they consume it. When I'm drinking, it feels like the smoothest, delicious, just perfect thing to drink.

But where did Chocolate Milk begin? Surely it just didn't appear... In 1689, Sir Hans Sloane an British physician, discovered chocolate milk in Jamaica where the indigenous people mixed chocolate with water. After a few different trial and errors he simply found that chocolate tasted better in milk and later sold his recipe in London to an apothecary. As of a recent study in November 2009 conducted by scientists in Barcelona, Spain suggests that regularly consuming skim milk with cocoa rich in flavonoids may reduce inflammation and slow or prevent the development of atherosclerosis.

Sold in Powder or Syrups and all types of different varieties, such as pre-made or do it yourself, variants of chocolate milk are candy-bar themed pre-mixed drinks, which claim to mimic the flavors of popular candy bars such as Milky Way, 3 Musketeers, or Snickers. So over and over again Chocolate Milk has made itself known and people of all ages have come to like the Awesomeness that it provides.

Regardless of your age, I hope that you can give Chocolate Milk the chance (if you haven't already) to make your day (or night) a special one. A simple drink but a lifetime of happiness!

Citizens Police Review Board

Precursor: So its been awhile since I last wrote, I think it was September of 09. There has been a lot that has been going on and one thing in particular that I want to get started around here.

There has been times and times again were police have gotten out of control, harassing, abusing, threatening, "pick and choosing", falsifying evidence to its citizens, suspects and victims over and over, and when these people try to file complaints against the police, who do they have to turn to? You can't go to the Police Chief, because he supports his officers in everything they do. You definitely can't file complaints against them, if your possibly involved in a crime, because now it just looks like your trying to get out of it by blaming the officers. So who do you have? Sure, if your city or town has its own review board, you could file with them; but let's face it, I'm in Pittsburgh, only big cities seem to have Police Review Boards (PRB) or Internal Affairs/Investigations (IA).

The city of Pittsburgh has a Citizens Review Board for police officers that are corrupt or go past their ideals of "serve and protect". The thing is it is only for the officers of the City.

Let's say a Penn Hills cop threatens you, he clearly and, so that everyone around you hears correctly, says "if you attempt to leave, I'm going to break your arms and legs." That right there, regardless of what YOU did, is a Terroristic Threat, which is a Felony in the State of Pennsylvania. He could face jail time in federal prison, definitely lose his job or be forced to pay settlements in court for his actions.

Now any normal city and/or town, would go crazy if they knew one of their officers did something to a citizen and.. now could possibly be in a court situation of their own. The local towns around here [or anywhere money is strapped] frown upon this sort of thing, usually these people sue cops for big money, in the hundreds or millions of dollars. Small towns don't have the money for normal projects let alone throwing away money for some dumb actions of the police.

This is why, I think there should be a organization to investigate the actions of the police involving crimes against citizens. Just like the review board of Pittsburgh, mine (eventually all) will have investigation powers, have the right to subpoena witnesses and officers involved in the matter, and if need be push the effort to a Public Hearing where the PRB and it's members will hear the complaint, at a public location at an appointed and advertised time. At the Public Hearing, witnesses will be called to give testimony and evidence will be presented. The PRB hearing the evidence will deliberate and determine if the facts of the case demonstrate that the alleged misconduct was more likely to have happened than not, and render a finding.

If PRB finds that misconduct likely occurred, they will inform the Chief of Police and the Mayor of that towns' officer(s) in question. PRB will also make recommendations of discipline, training, systemic changes, policy or procedural changes or any recommendation intended to prevent future occurrences of similar misconduct and designed to promote better relations between the community and police.

This is a good idea, not just for the citizens but also for the police. Wouldn't you (as a Chief or Mayor) rather have the person filing the complaints talk to someone first about the problem rather than filing charges or even more filing a lawsuit against your officers, costing the town thousands or more of tax payer dollars? This way instead of the whole department getting sued, not just one of the rogue officers gets terminated, suspended or required to take sensitivity training. My PRB wouldn't cost the town ANY money what-so-ever. It would be just like Pittsburgh's, a volunteer position of upstanding, educated, law abiding citizens that know that sometimes the power goes to [their] heads and creates a problem for the community.

By all means, I like "most" police officers, my dad a retired one is someone I can model to the good cops in the U.S.A. I don't have a problem with police, only the ones who think they are more powerful then god, and with their badge and gun grants them immunity from their actions against the citizens they swore to protect.
