I feel like Tom Cruise movies would all be so much better if they didn't feature Tom Cruise.

But who would do endless running scenes in his place?

Fuck dervish, you hit me right in the feels.

Watching every motion
In my foolish lover's game
On this endless ocean
Finally lovers know no shame

Turning and returning
To some secret place inside
Watching in slow motion
As you turn around and say

Take my breath away
Take my breath away

Am I taking you to the Danger Zone yet?

Out of all the people I know who have degrees, there are only two of them who are working in the fields they went to college for. The rest of them (20+ people) are working in some form of a retail job.#Trufax

The sad truth, isn't it? The worst part is, even if you go into college for a field that's in high demand, there's no telling if it's going to be a different market by the time you graduate.

Really? That's awesome, didn't know that. In my lab science class this semester we talked quite a bit about water treatment and wastewater management, etc. Here in calif we use like 84% or something just for agriculture. It's nuts.But yeah, gr8 major. I didn't realize you'd gotten that.

Oh yeah, the statistics for what's used is pretty mind boggling. Also, solid waste management's really interesting and it makes you REALLY conscious about what you throw into the trash. XD But yeah, my field's really good and in huge demand; Alberta's something like 3000 operators short of what's required. I can imagine everywhere else is also facing a similar shortage of skilled workers.

Oh, and for everyone reading this: If it isn't coming from your own body or toilet paper, don't flush it. All your condoms, tampons, paper towels, left over food, dead pets, bullet casings, articles of clothing, beer cans, cell phones, grease, your ex's personal belongings, pictures of your ex, and so on do not go down the pipes easy and don't treat. Also, they clog up your service connection and like your colon after taco bell night, it will back up on you one day and every drain in your house will quickly remind you of what you've had to eat and your poor life choices from the past several years suddenly come back to haunt you and fill your house with a stench so foul you'll look like you opened up the Arc of the Covenant during a Nazi blind bag party on some uncharted island.

They're the Goose and Maverick now.

I took an environmental technology major, which was in the engineering department in my school. Going into water and wastewater treatment basically ensures I'm in high demand pretty much everywhere.

Mythical Adventures of Smiral and her stupid Nerd Friends

As I said on Skype, I friggin' love this so far. :D That's some quality entertainment, and you have captured the essence of Smiral way too friggin' well.

Maybe you can convince her to turn from Toellner's futile cause and support the only hope in hell to alleviate the conditions of this crime-ridden shithole of a country. Those who oppose the Peacemakers simply do not yet appreciate the value of a functioning economy and running water.

I smell fabulous, whereas Hank smells like the gutter outside of the tavern. Not a difficult choice.

Hank only serves himself, Holmes serves corruption, I shall champion a new age of Spam.I also have a warhammer, that's cool.

Anyone who cannot achieve his goals without the aid of a brothel mistress in some misguided campaign based on nostalgia for past glories is unsuitable to lead a campaign, let alone achieve order and prosperity. You will lead your companions to an untimely demise and find yourself quite alone by the time the Peacemakers can be bothered to address your delusions of grandeur.

Eat shit, Dervish.

I look forward to finishing your stubborn ass off, my friend.

Now hurry up so I can stab you.

Myth 1: College degrees get you hiredMyth 2: Economy is still bad If any of you live in NY/SF/Atlanta/Providence/Boston, I can potentially get you a job, just PM me.

It's bad enough that people with several years experience are fighting for entry level jobs against dozens of other applicants. Some parts of the country are doing horrible in the job market, and you can't tell me with a straight face that the economy is great when my mom was unable to find a job for almost a year after her and dad moved.

It's better than it was six years ago, but I have never seen it more difficult to get hired than it has been since the recession hit, and there's a reason that thousands of Canadians are flocking to Alberta to get work, and let me tell you, very few people enjoy the idea of leaving everyone they know thousands of kilometers behind just so they can feed themselves.
