Dave Hakes' – Island Mode

This ran from the 5th to the 9th – I ran camera.  We had a dark day on the 7th which was very cool – we had a crew BBQ – very rare we all get to enjoy each other outside work.  Great times!

Great production crew!!!

This one’s a little bigger/longer than the last one, and a little older. Shows Democrats slamming regulators of Fannie & Freddy and Republicans wanting more watch dogs – pretty funny, the opposite of what you hear on the news. I think this was in 2004…

She’s an idiot!  To say what she said when she said it!  Fix the problem, not the blame.  You wanna blame someone Nancy?  Here ya go!

Are you too ignorant to know this, or too arrogant to admit it?  Which is it?  Speaker Pelosi, are you stupid or a liar?  You were for de-regulation of the banking industry before all this happened – not sure if you were actually present when Clinton signed the Bill to repeal it, or not – funny how your mind changes when the wind blows, eh?…well…no…not so funny actually…

As for the current economic situation, let’s look at the reality of the situation:

	Democrats	Republicans	Total Votes (Yea/Nea)
Yea	140	65	205
Nay	95	133	228
Total Present (Dem/Rep)	235	198	433

Democrats for was 59.57%
Democrats against was 40.4%
Republicans for was 32.8%
Republicans against was 67.2%

They needed 217 votes to pass it. 205 (both Democrat and Republican) voted for it and 95 Democrats voted against it. 95!  All they needed was 12 more votes!  The Dems are blaming the Republicans? They couldn’t even hold their own party together for the vote! 12 Votes is all they needed! Where exactly do they get off blaming the Republicans?  What’s wrong with this picture?

Stop playing the blame game – you’re not good at it!

Fix the problem, not the blame!

There’s been so much going on around me lately – both on a personal note and all over the media, with drastically different topics in mind – that I would just like to say/teach/exclaim to everyone, all at the same time, my second life maxim.

I learned it when I was 10 when a few of the guys on my football team kept screwing up – they always had a reason or excuse for everything and it drove the rest of us crazy cause we could never count on them to do anything (but complain)…

Fix The Problem, Not The Blame!

Upset cause you’re work schedule doesn’t allow you to do things you really want to do? I don’t care! I don’t want to hear it! This is the profession you chose, if you don’t like it QUIT. There you go, problem fixed…

Always late and looking for an excuse to give me so I won’t send you away from me. I don’t care! You get paid, buy a damn alarm clock! Problem fixed!

If you’re working a 5:30 call in the morning, why would you party till 2:00? No sympathy for ya buddy – I’ve done it and made it to work more times than I’d care to admit – you can’t give me an excuse, just be at work on time. Problem fixed…

Economy? Just fix it guys, there’ll be plenty if time to sort out the blame later. That’s what history books are for…

Show up, get it done, go away! I don’t care whose fault it is, I don’t care that you had to walk to work, I don’t care that you haven’t slept in a week, I don’t care that you haven’t seen your kid in two days. You think I haven’t been there? Just shut the hell up – fix it…

It really is that simple. Stop wasting time and energy talking, try directing the energy that your mouth uses into action – a lot more productivity will come out of it…

OK, the regular GUI sucks when you log on via computer; but I’ve just spent the last few minutes playing with the new app on my iPhone (just downloaded the update 15 minutes ago) and it looks really promising so far…

Think I’ll stick to using my iPhone to access facebook – the GUI is much nicer on the phone…
