After having a blog for 3 months I have noticed there are several kinds of stumblers.
there's the "I click through till i see a picture" stumblers. These people apparently never saw the photos option on their toolbar.
Next is the "I liked your page, but instead of clicking on your other pages, I am just going to stumble again, and if I arrive at another of your pages, cool". Yes, I am sometimes guilty of this, But many times if something excites me, I stumble through their other stuff hoping that it too is as exciting. If it isn't, ehh. But if it is :-D
there's the "Its a blog, instant click off" stumblers. Understandable, a lot of blogs are boring, annoying, or just plain full of dumb information.
Next is the "I have never clicked thumbs up or thumbs down" stumbler. These people are the worst. Not only are they not rating sites for others to view, but they are basically looking through content that some individuals not all, a good deal of people just steal others contentput time and energy into creating, and giving them no feedback.
Lastly, is the "wow, I like that, I am going to re post it on my site" stumbler. These are the absolute worst. How can you live with yourself knowing you are just steeling other peoples information! Seriously!
Sure I feel like a bit of a stalker. I use the wonderful Feedjit site to see how people get to my site, and how they leave. And man, 95% of people stumble one post, and then stumble away. No ratings, not anything. Just "meh"

5 Reasons Jury duty is a waste of time.
We all have gotten those summons in the mail. and all of us have had to actually go and sit through it. Here are the 5 biggest reasons (although there are about 200 others) that this process sucks.
5- They don't reimburse you for parking. Sure, in the great state of New York, they give you $40 a day (thats about $5 an hour) to come and be a juror (or prospective juror) What they don't tell you is that parking is $7.25, if you park under the court house (and if you take your car for lunch, its another $7.25 when you return) or $7.00 if you want to walk a mile in the cold. That eats your $40 down to $33 real quick.
4- Their constant re-insurance that "We are working to make the wait time shorter". Really? First they said you have to be there at 8:15 *THROUGH* security, and seated. Arriving at 7:30 seemed fair. Nope, the security was so far backed up I got through JUST at 8:14, and there were still 200 people left. some of the people I talked to had been waiting there since 7am. Then, they say "your judge will start jury selection at 9:00. Cool, so If I wait till 9am, i get to move around some out of these uncomfortable chairs, and maybe selected. NOPE. 9:45 when my judge finally calls for jurors to start. The other 400 people still hadn't heard from theirs. Finally each "1 hour" or "15 minute break" was an understatement. Every break was 30-45minutes longer than allotted for. If I had known that I would have walked to the bar and gotten a few drinks!
3- Repetition repetition repetition. I understand that you have to be thorough when picking a juror, It makes sense. You don't want some biased asshole sitting on your jury. But do you have to repeat the exact same scenario, to each freakign person, asking them all the exact same question, that, after they saw the first person get booted off for an answer, all promptly copied?
2- The order they go in. Once they explained to us how long the trial was expected to take (a week and 2 days), they then started selecting potentials 1 by 1, and would ask them if they knew any reason they couldn't serve. Well about 30 people got taken out, through the course of 8 hours (they didn't do this to everyone at the person, they did it until they had 21 people at a time, then would stop). This mean the poor pregnant chick, due any day, had to wait 5 hours before she could tell the judge she couldn't serve. The guy that spoke no English had to wait 3 hours before he could tell the judge. And the chick who had been assaulted with a gun (we were doing a murder trial) had to wait 7 hours. Seriously?
1- Not being asked a god damn question. Out of the 100 people I went into the court room with. All but 6 of us got called up as potential jurors. I got stuck waiting, doing NOTHING for 8 hours. No cell phone, no laptop, no book. Just sitting and listening. I felt like I was watching the worst possible part of C-span. you know where the guy reads the dictionary for 8 hours straight? THATS WHAT IT FELT LIKE!
Way to fail NY jury system. Way to fail.

First linux user
So my blog, of its close to 3000 views, received its first ever linux viewer! while only staying for roughly 7 seconds it was pretty amazing!
I also received a user for a very very strange reason, as shown in the below picture.
Someone is either a pervert, or really had thought that doing that might be good.

Comics!
Well a long while ago I had started comics that were often crude, ridiculous, and hysterical. However I didn't have the time to really update them as i wanted. And since I have been very busy in real life, I decided that I can use them as filler here between more interesting posts. here are a few, and I will post them occasionally when I am short on other ideas.

Mr T lives on.
I recently became aware of this amazing card game Lunch Money. Much better than magic the gathering or any other card game. this game is a mix of luck of the draw, and patience/skill. You basically are placed as 10 year old girls in some inner city slum school that beat eachother to death for their lunch money. What can be better? The same play!
If you can't read it, it says as follows
"Kate- Block- "I laugh at your pipe"
Luc- Hammer - "Kate, what time is it"
Kate- - "hammertime, I'm out"
Absolutely hysterical. You should check out the game, and play it with a group of folks. It makes for a great time at a party or just hanging out with a few friends.

cutting rocks!
kids these days have lots of pressure. School, Fitting in, Global warming. Well luckily, while at school, learning about global warming, and trying to fit in, they can easily work on their self image by reading this amazing book!
Nothing better than teaching our kids how to be emo!

Israel not accountable
Whats the biggest thing in the news? Israel kicking the shit out of Palestine. Yep, armed conflicts happen all the time and happen in much larger scales than this conflict, however everyone is pissed. Why? Because its the Jews!
Everyone seems to feel that Israel, since they were abused in the past, should be given whatever they want to appease them. We have supplied them with billions in weapons. with nuclear weapons. With every sort of aid. Yet we look at Palestine, and the Gaza strip, and let it all crumble. Why? They aren't Jews!
So Israel banned reporters from entering the gaza strip again. Why? Well it sure as hell is easy to slaughter the innocent when there is no one there to report on it. They are bombing schools, civilians, everything. It is 100% WRONG! And why do they get away with it?
Because there Jews!
And because they are fighting against Muslims. It seems its the world against Muslims. Why? Because Muslims are different than Christians, and more violent about it. Buddhists, Hindu's, you can usually leave them alone. They don't fight back, so there is no fun. But Muslims. Piss off a Muslim, and they will fight back.
Our culture in America mocks Jews. They are the butt of dozens of jokes. They are harassed and looked down upon. Except of course, Israel. Those Jews are the good Jews.
It would be nice if we would hold Israel Accountable. It would be nice if people ever were held accountable. The USA got away with too much shit in Afghanistan and Iraq. We will never be held accountable. Russia beat up Georgia, and they won't be held accountable. The British fucked 3/4 of the world 200 years ago, but they weren't held accountable. The only people we ever hold accountable are people that we beat the hell out of. The Germans, The Iraqi's, The Afghan's, and any other Muslim country. Vietnam kicked our ass, and look. They are 10x's better than that Korean country that's all sorts of divided and fucked up.
We complain that Hamas is being supplied weapons and resorting to terrorism. Guess what. If we just stepped in and said "here Hamas, have all the weapons and tech that we gave Israel" Hamas would beat the shit out of Israel. We constantly bitch and moan that people are smuggling it in to the "enemies" Why the hell was Israel given the weapons in the first place? Because they are Jews.
The middle east is like a beehive. Everyone want's the honey, but if you steal it your going to get stung. And the more bee's you kill, the more stings you will get, until either you stop sticking your hand in the beehive, or you destroy it 100%.
So what are we going to do?
