One of the most common cries of economic conservatives is “Deregulation”. One of the grand theories of the Republican Party/Tea Party/Libertarians is that federal regulation-laws, are detrimental to the economy and are the cause of economic...

Call
So if you don’t know, I’m really scared of talking to people, especially strangers, and especially adults. I hate calling customer service or otherwise talking to someone of a higher position like professors. Anyways, I just got off a call to the Governor’s office at the recommendation of some involved/active people at UCI who are spreading the word about the budget cut to the UC...

Stupid
I made a pretty stupid mistake, now that I think about it. A few days ago I had received a Facebook invite to an online petition to not cut the UC funding from the state. I saved it in my tabs and planned to get back to it later, but ultimately forgot to sign it.

Fun Fact of the Day:
So while not 100% consistent, one of the best indicators that I’m having a lot of fun and am really happy is if I get a bloody nose out of the blue. For example: In the weeks leading up to Arrowhead Part 2, I was aware that my right nose was susceptible to nosebleed. However the night of Arrowhead Part 2, my left nose suddenly started bleeding. In retrospect I find these inexplicable...

Legislature approves $650 million in cuts to the UCs. 20-30% fee increases estimated.
Shit just got real. Get ready for a crazy year. Stand up students and fight for OUR university! ”They say cut back? We say FUCK THAT.”
So I just played around with this deficit calculator whipped up by the LA Times some time before the budget...

Perusing the SPOP 2011 FAQ, I stumbled on this little nugget:
“We recognize that the male/female dichotomy does not reflect all gender identities.”
If you were wondering where my fiery opinions on gender/gender roles came from, it had been building for a while but was sparked by diversity training that asked me to use gender neutral terms like “You All” or...

At Work...
Boss’s computer is unable to send emails. Turns out he can’t go on websites either. I go into Command Line and check the IP Address, the ability of the computer to Ping external servers, trying multiple external sites. Everything is working fine. I disable and enable Network Drivers. No change. I monitor the Network usage. Nothing out of the ordinary. I restart the computer…....
Fun Fact of the Day:
A piece of furniture we’ve kept since before 1999 is this big black entertainment shelf thing. It has space for a tv at the center and on each side there is space for dvd/vcr/CDs/sound systems. I remember when I was little I couldn’t see the top, I could barely reach the top shelf. So I remember reaching up and feeling around for the remote or a toy or a pair of sunglasses etc. As I...

Thought 1: If you haven’t noticed from following this tumblr… I think I’ve expressed numerous times my feelings on romance/relationships. I can’t stop my emotions from feeling a want and desire, but my mind can and should realize a fact. That fact is, just like how the person I think...

Gender Neutral Preschool →
Another article and another controversy about another group trying to raise children in a gender-neutral environment. Again, it’s too early to tell if these projects will succeed or not. And again, at the very least I highly respect and appreciate the sentiment of these people who want children to grow up without the restrictions that a gendered society places on them. I want to point out...

Thought of the Day:
One of my bigger fears in life, and something I don’t want to ever happen to me, is becoming jaded when I grow up. I’ve met quite a few adults who still have their passion and really show it in their work, play, and family. But the majority of adults I’ve encountered don’t seem to have that joy and energy most commonly found in children and young adults. I’m scared of...

Observing the development, execution, and evolution of a program is one of the most fascinating things ever. I’ve watched for four years as the University High School Band program and all its sub groups develop and conclude each year. I’ve watched for four years as traditions changed and the program slowly evolved into new shapes and forms very similar to the previous year but with...

(Not so) Fun Fact of the Day:
There is a very, very large sword hanging over my head and it can very much drop at any moment and destroy me for some time. In fact, it’s going to drop closer in a few months. What’s worse is that I’ve already dug myself into a hole so that I can’t get out of this situation. Every night this week I’ve had trouble sleeping because of my fear and anxiety, desperately...

Pet Peeve: People I barely know who are connected to me through social media; who only interact with me through said social media when they want to criticize some post of mine. It really tempts me to judge their character poorly because even though they are super nice and happy to everyone else and our mutual friends, my only interaction with them are their negative, not-constructive comments....

(Not So) Fun Fact of the Day:
In my adolescent years, when I really really really f’d up, I would quite literally start slapping myself in the face. I don’t really do that anymore, but on rarer occasions I still express my anger at myself if I really f’ up.
