Day In The Life of Baz

Introduction

I know you’ve heard about all the recent taser related events in the news. The woman in Ohio is now suffering vision problems due to the cops putting the taser down on her. Then of course, there’s the student at University of Florida during the John Kerry speech. Now everyone is up in arms. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not exactly advocating what was done in these specific situations; the video with the woman looks kinda harsh, but we have to consider a few things.

Being A Cop Ain’t Easy, But Somebody’s Got To Do It

Cops deal with all sorts of stuff everyday. People carry guns all over the place. You get the blame if a crime is committed and not stopped, you get the blame if yo u use too much force to stop a crime from being committed. The only time you get praise is if you get a nice friendly criminal that says “OK officer, I surrender”; and when does that really happen?

In general, cops get a bad rap. What do most of us knows cops for? Giving tickets, putting folks in jail, etc. Only a small percentage of people that have personal positive experiences with the police have good things to say; people who are saved from getting robbed and pulled from fires, etc.

I’ve been MIA and this is why:

• The Moving Fiasco has finally come to an end:
  Lava has finally been able to cram all her stuff into a relatively livable two (2) bedroom apartment. There have been about six (6) entire weekends dedicated to packing, cleaning, loading trucks, driving trucks, etc.
• Work has been murder:
  There’s just been too much stuff to do and not enough time. I think I need a vacation, seriously. This is getting ridiculous now. The funny things is that for the past month, I’ve only been working on projects and none of the normal day to day tasks that we usually do. Funny thing is, these day to day tasks don’t get any less important. Now they’ve piled up and are all due by October 15th. Can you say overtime? There have been a couple weekends there I put in a few extra hours just to meet deadlines with projects. Let’s just say it’s not going to be a fun week.
• Revamped my Web Development blog. It was about time. I’ve also decided to put a lil’ bit more effort into it, since it’s proceeds are what pay for my hosting. But, because of the above, that has been a slight problem.

Today I looked at Epic Movie on DVD and it got me thinking: Is the world fed up of movie parodies?

The first was I remember is by the Wayan’s brothers:

Don’t be a menace to society while drinking your juice in the hood

I must say, it was funny for it’s time. Hilarious, actually. Then there was Scary Movie; another winner in my book. There was Shriek If You Know What I Did Last Friday the Thirteenth; that tried to copy the formula word for word and wasn’t too successful.

Then Scary Movie 2; OK I guess it was still kinda funny. But then Scary Movie 3, then 4 and there is a confirmation for Scary Movie 5. Don’t forget that others decided to join the trend while it was in it’s downward spiral (in my opinion):

• Not Another Teen Movie
• Date Movie
• Date Movie 2 (Yes They Did - Coming out 2009)
• Epic Movie

This has been life for the past few weeks:

• Go to work
• Get home and sit for a minute
• Work on a Web Application for a client for a few hours (too many hours)
• Pass out at the computer and then tumble back into bed.
• Wake up late, and get to work usually 2 minutes before I’d be officially late.

The weekends aren’t any better:

• Friday night or early Saturday morning, drive 2 and 1/2 hours out of town
• Try to make some progress packing up Lava’s old apartment to prepare for her move.

I really hate moving, I really do. It’s one of my least favorite things in the world. Everytime I move, it’s always drama, and I don’t have any furniture. The last time I “moved” it took me about 5 weekend trips. I refused to get a U-Haul, because I didn’t have anything large enough to justify it, just a bunch of lil’ things. And I was going to be up here at least once of month anyway, so I just figured I’ll get anything I forget on those trips. I guess that would explain why there’s still a lot of my crap in this apartment.

Now if you’re a reader of my feed, let me first of all thank you for your loyalty and continued reading.

Basically, I’m sorry. I’ve been doing a lot of posts to test various feed plugins. And by definition, these need to come through the feeds. There’s no way (that I know of) to stop it or pause it. So you guys have been seeing a bunch of crap posts.

I would just like you to know that things are now going well. All the tests are complete and everything should be back to normal (until the next cool feed plugin comes along).

Thank you again.
