Anybody who knows me knows how much i hate politics and would rather talk about anything else but after seeing this article i couldn't stay silent.

I agree something does need to be be done, people should have some social responsibility but this is not the answer. It's just plain scary just scary how closely this mirrors all those futuristic movies from the 70's. Below the cut is an article about obama's health plan, read it and hope it never comes to pass. (I know it's long but it is important)

( This is just a little to Soylent Green/Logan's Run-esq for my taste )

David R. Stith, renowned underwater dive expert, space program consultant and founding member of the Underwater Society of America, passed away at 9 a.m. Wednesday, July 30, 2008.

He was 83.

Born in Philadelphia, Stith was a resident of Warminster who held a long and illustrious career in underwater exploration and diving.

He began diving in a homemade bucket helmet at the age of 11 and was one of the first aqualung divers in the country.

After qualifying as a Navy hardhat diver, he saw combat in the Pacific in World War II and dove with the salvage crew on the SS Normandie. While in the Navy he glimpsed the peaceful use of diving by collecting underwater specimens for scientists.

He then began a rich and varied life that included, in the late 1950s, being one of the founding members and president of the first diving club on the East Coast. He also was a founder and President of the Mid Atlantic Underwater Council as well as a founding member and six-term president of the Underwater Society of America. As president, he represented the organization in Paris at the World Underwater Federation's Confederation Mondiale des Activites Subaquatiques, where he befriended Jacques Cousteau.

He taught diving techniques to thousands, including congressmen, scientists and industrialists, and was awarded the coveted NOGI award, the highest award given by the Underwater Society of America, for his outstanding achievement and promotion of SCUBA and skin diving sports. Other recipients of this award include the late Jacques Cousteau.

He served as a consultant to Johnsville Aviation Development Center and worked hands-on to simulate space environment in concert with the centrifuge program in the early 1960s. He was also a consultant to GE's space program and participated in the space simulation for several programs, including the Moon Orbital Landing program, where he orchestrated underwater "moon landings" with an Apollo replica and acclimated astronauts to a weightless environment.

In the 1970s, he and his crew dove on the wreck of the San Jose near Cartagena, Columbia. This resulted in finding the early 1700s wreck's cannons and cannon balls but no treasure.

Stith was the founder, CEO and president of Underwater Technics Inc., where he pioneered ship hull cleaning in the United States for merchant shipping. His company was the first company in the U.S. to clean hulls at the same time the ship was being unloaded.

He also worked with the Maritime Administration to perfect systems for the United States Fleets.

Underwater Technics inspected the below-water portion of every state-owned bridge in Pennsylvania.

Underwater Technics, headquartered in Camden County, N.J., handled numerous jobs on the Delaware River and many other locations throughout the world. The type of jobs included marine salvage and construction projects, oil spills and pollution control.

He was a board member of the Maritime Museum, founding member of the Depth Chargers, board member of the Seaman's Church, sponsor of the Philadelphia Ship Preservation Guild, life member of the Navy League of the United States, and Port Warden of Philadelphia.

Predeceased by his father and mother, Charles P Stith and Kathryn Melvin Stith, he is survived by his wife of 58 years, Beatrice B Stith; his brothers, Melvin Stern and Charles Stith; his son, David J. Stith; his daughters, Susan Stith, Carol Hoffmeier and Barbara Hess; and 17 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren.

I've been looking for an old sewing machine for ages. The kind made with metal bodies and motors. the new ones are pretty but far from reliable. their cheap plastic parts and dinky motors that can't handle more then a couple layers and you're taking the life of your machine in your hands if you even think about denim or leather heck even canvas.

I've been looking for a long time, watching ebay closely checking yard sales and such. I stopped by the goodwill store the other day and they had one, certainly not the exact model i wanted but it's an old machine with metal body and motor in a cabinet. knee peddle, came with 4 bobbins, an extra belt, several needles and some really old thread lol. the only thing it's missing is a power cord, but a simple extension cord will solve that. But the best part is I paid a whopping $6.87 for it. this beautiful old machine a free westinghouse from the 20's or 30's cost me less then lunch. I figure even if i have to spend $50-$100 getting it cleaned and tuned i'm still ahead. it'll still be cheaper then buying semi decent plastic machine currently on the market.

I'm very excited and can't wait to try it out, just have to chase the cat off it since it seems to have become her new favorite place sine i brought it home.


Ps. I found an ebay listing for the same model machine i got, complete with cabinet http://cgi.cafr.ebay.ca/Antique-Free-Westinghouse-Sewing-Machine-1920s_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQitemZ280240122604

i've known alot of ppl who are now dead, uh died (I don't know how to make that even sounds not morbid) but all of them were either quick, or enough on the periphery that it didn't effect me to bad. My best friend was instant, my cousin was a shock but was gone when i found out. So this is the fist time i've had someone close (my grandfather) to me wither away slowly. 2 weeks in a coma with no hope, no higher brain function and only reacting to painful stimuli. finally a decision to take him off life support on monday afternoon. the doctors say no more then an hour. shows what they know. He passed at 9:10 this morning.

Having to make the decision (even though it was more made by my mom, aunts and uncle then me) is just a horrible feeling and then waiting on death watch for him to breath his last. i would never wish it on anybody. It was a relief today when we arrived at the hospital and found out he was gone. just knowing he wasn't suffering anymore felt like a huge relief. Yeah it was sad but i felt mostly glad he wasn't fighting just to breath anymore.

After the hospital we went to my grandparents house to find papers, pictures and to plan the funeral. It was pretty fun going through old pictures. I found out my grandfather was an amazing man. He's done some many amazing things in his life, he knew presidents, dictators, famous explorers. He's been in the navy, a treasure hunter, the first civilian oil spill clean up company. He cleaned up the wan Valdez spill, developed new techniques for preventing damage and more effective ways of cleaning up oil spills. He's been in the newspaper/magazines/books tons of times. He was president/founder/board of directors for tons of organizations, clubs and associations. the more we dug the more amazing things we found her did too bad he had to die for me to find all this stuff out.

I don't know if i'm sad or just relieved he's not sick anymore. this is all very confusing. but i will not be going to otakon now, i'm not too disappointed though, family comes first ne?

I finally finished the bee-movie for the conference. between vista being total shit and randomly rejecting programs i am trying to use (photoshop, photo impact, greetings workshop, nero, emule, lexmark printer, hp printer, microsoft word, adobe reader, muvee, and several i can't remember atm, to date) and learning a new program or 5. It came out about half as long as i was expecting but it's done and no longer hanging over my head so it'll do.

final planning meeting tomorrow (tonight really) OMG less then a week to go. so much to do so little time and nearly no money =/

i got so much to get done in the next 20 days it's ridiculous. doing all this has just re-enforced how much i love planning events. i wish i knew how to get into that field of work but you probably need some weird degree like everything else >_<
i've been kicking it around for years but never knew how to go about getting into it. meh i dunno
i keep asking myself could i do this for a living and go hell yeah. every event would be different so it'd stay interesting. guess i'm off to do some research on event planning jobs. inbetween my list of 397432 things to do lol

busy busy ne
reception is saturday! gotta do all the shopping and cooking by friday plus write a short play of a game show lol and a whole looooooong list of other small things that need to be done really soon.

and my brother wants me to help him with his cosplay for otakon which means he wants me to make his cosplay for otakon lol

i unfortunately have next to no monies and probably will only be reusing old cosplays or slightly changed versions.

W00t semey sent me Baccano so as soon as i have a few mins to rub together i shall watch it

instead of doing one of the millions of things i need to do i've been googling stuff and decided i'd rather learn costuming, jewelery making, millinery work to make costumes, it's got he benefits of being different for each costume but also having to deal with less ppl lol

all the crazies come out. i got cursed at for 10 mins yesterday about everyone else in the store lazy mother fuckers and mark is a son of a bitch, and do you think that in all that time anyone came to my rescue? no of course not, nobody called a manager or anything they all just stared, then came over after mr. hulk with a grill left and were all if he didn't leave soon i was gonna call a manager. gee thanks. he was scary he picked a grill up and threw it on the floor 0.o

then i get bitch lady who didn't notice the bright lit up returns sign then got pissed at me because i didn't say hey i do returns here. stupid bitch read a freakin' sign. sorry i was pushing a huge cart of returns, which blocked the entrance to returns anyway so where the fluk were you going to go. you would've either had to wait and stand there for me to get clear or gone around like you did. helllllo idiot open your eyes and stop blaming other people. or i know get a cart for heavy items. oh wait that's common sense of course you'd never do that.

i sooooooooo want to call out today, i think my head might explode if i have to deal with more jerks like that, but if i do i'd be getting like 10 hours for this week *weeps*

i went to put the handle together and my glue was dried out, nothing like a 9:30 run to the hardware store to make a prop. i think the shorts for my costume make my legs look all huge and blubbery ahahah just what everyone wanted to know ne?

ah well, oodles to do and no time to do it not to mention work bleh i need a new job where ppl don't just attack you cause they're having a bad day or because they're dumb.
