I know that the three or so of you that read this may have noticed that I haven't been on in a week or so. I canceled my internet temporarily while I move, because I don't need the expense. I'm currently only online at friend's houses, or the local McDonalds... which is somewhat ironic I like to think. I hope it's ironic, or I'll die of a heart attack like the rest of us. Well actually maybe not give this a checkin' out.

Nano Particles have been developed that would move through the cardiovascular system, attacking plaque build up, and other hearty heart stoppers. This advancement could seriously dent the rate of death from what is for every group in our species, the number one killer. Heath Disease. Speaking of which I highly recommend everyone watch 'Forks over knives' (available on netflix.), or read 'the china study' by T. Colin Campbell.
back to what I was saying however. I will still be updating throughout the month, but until I get moved up to Cincinnati I will not have full time access to the internet. Let's hope I hear back from a job soon, because that will mean I can physically relocate sooner as well.

New TV, and old job hunting strategies
Alright everyone what do you want to hear about first? Breaking Bad Season 4 being on Netflix, and how awesome that is? Harry's Law and how it was an awesome show that I feel deserves a third season? Firefly and how it's green lit for a fresh start on the Science channel? or how I think I may have landed my job that will let me finish up my local debts, and move to Cincinnati in less time than expected?
Well, guess what?!? I'm in the Post editor now and couldn't hear you if you did comment first of everyone! SO HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! We'll start with the new job. Because I have the least to say about it out of professional courtesy. So what can I say? I think I have one, and that's pretty damn spiffy. My last day at the Big-Box store I was formerly employed at was Sunday -two days ago-. It happened right after the bill paying and rent paying check... Righteous I know. But leaving me in Kentucky with still at least one more set of bills to pay and no revenue. So I plug and plug and plug my resume, finally I get a bite. Hopefully this works out and I can afford to get moved in and find maybe a second source of income, or find the time to find a way to make money for myself. As I seem to keep realizing is the only way out of this sick and twisted Proletariat maze. The first week of August, my Sister comes in from the Caribbean and we settle the last of some personal family legal such and stuff. Afterwards I'll have enough cash to move regardless, but it's nice to know I should be able to pay the bills after that. I cannot express how much I am excited to move to Cincinnati. Living here in Kentucky I feel like I'm just waiting until I'm too old to enjoy my life. FUCK That noise. So now that I've got my minute to vent... let's move on to TV talk. (I know, I'm getting less Science, and Politics, and more whatever the hell I want to write about... but that's how it's going to be some days. Eventually I'd like to layout my days by topics... then I'd have more compressed and satisfying streams of data to feed you all... but first I need to talk about whatever and hope I just generate some more viewers in the first place.
Breaking Bad Season 4, on Netflix.
This sentence... or title-like phrase. is the single reason I've brought my back up comforter out to the couch today... and yesterday... and the night before that. I couldn't recall where I left off watching illegally posted episodes of Season 4 online (Come on, who has Cable? it's not the 90's anymore.) So I did what any reasonably lazy pirate (who likely does not do anything.) would do.. I watched it non-stop forever and ever. Until just now when I queued up Vampire Weekend on Spotify to listen to while I blog and drink soup out of a mug. I feel that Breaking Bad, is doing write what so many 'modern' hits have done wrong before it. Mainly by these 'hits' I mean 'lost' and by modern I mean 'excluding this, things that J.J.Abrams has done' Because Mr. Abrams didn't have a hand in Breaking Bad, and for this I'm glad. Lost was a break show when it came out, and it like wise used temporally odd narrative techniques to keep the viewers intrigued and on the edge of their seat as much as possible.. but what did they do that I despise so much? They (obviously, and contrary to what they said.) did not either have to stick to a final script or outline. Lost followed the online community too closely, and did everything they wanted. I can attest as a former Lost Soul- so to speak I was there on the blogs, and their official website. I even got correspondence from Jorge who was one of my favorite cast members a couple of times. In the end however, they became a bone for the audience to chase after, and not at all the ripening story we wanted to follow. Breaking Bad however, Breaks it down real good. Everything is so well metered, the pacing never waivers. They don't have fill nothing, bullshit air-eater scenes like LOST did, Episodes are never pure re-itteration. This Show knew from the start, when and how, and where it would end I feel. All press releases be damned. That's what I have to say about Breaking Bad -No Spoilers included. You can thank me later.
Harry's Law, which is hard to find anywhere except WatchTV247.info if I remember my link correctly. I don't want to do a full link, because then the Bad guys will take my favorite show away. But I started watching this after I googled for shows that take place in Cincinnati before my big move. I found this and a show 30 years old about working in a radio station. Law show wins. Kathy Bates, and a slew of other familiar faces practice law in a shoe store in near-down-town cinci. It's a great contemporary and topical show that sadly only got two seasons. It's listed on Sidereel as concluded, but I really want a third season. I recommend this show will all my heart and soul... well all of someone who has a substantial amount of either's... But that's another story. This show from the bat deals with the decriminalization of drugs, the basis of the prison industrial system being a criminal mill that turns first time offenders into career criminals by killing all hopes for an educational future, and from there goes to such extremes as to question the legality of domestic drone surveillance. All of this while showing that you can be a republican without being what we see on TV. (which I'm not advocating anyone be a republican, don't get me wrong. I think the show does it as a contrast thing.) Long story short. I recommend it.
Lastly all I have to say about firefly's reboot is in this link! here you go! and good day!
... what's this!!! no link!!! just a rumour!!! Damn God to Hell!

Finality, and how it doesn't mean what it thinks it means.
So, I sit here drinking a double shot espresso again, as my roommate's girlfriend has yet to take her fancy coffee machine, or boxes of coffee from my house still. (no qualms there.) I contemplate on how it's the last day at my current job, like most folk my job has certain non-disclosure contracts to which end I'll be vague. But I assemble for this Big-Box home repair store, and it's been a great job honestly. Legos for grown ups really. Of course it didn't hurt that my Co-Worker and I both have the same taste in music, literature, and the pursuit of philosophical knowledge. It was a sometimes frustrating, but always enjoyable job. So now I'll likely be in a bind should I not get another job before I move to Cincinnati (which I thought was what people meant by Sin-City for a while... nope.) Either way, some personal stuff wraps up in my life in august granting me both money to move, and earning potential to sustain myself more passively. I'll be up there paying off my modest student loan debt, and returning to school to wrap up my English and philosophy studies and then onto Chase Law hopefully. But I feel I've typed a large amount of this before to a large extent, in my last entry.
It seems I pick the best times to start blogging again. Once again we have a laughable political competition between two parties that do not fully satisfy the voters, we still don't have a form of alternate vote in the US of A, to allow third party voter confidence either, or to even ensure a solid majority rule for that matter. This election year comes down to a Crooked failed governor and CEO, versus a rather successful low-spending over compromising incumbent president. Of course some hope comes with faith in the continued pattern of the two term democrat, wherein the first term safeguards the second term, and the second term they actually seem to have balls. I still don't think Obama will legalize Marijuana however, my reasoning is somewhat about racism. If the first black president legalized marijuana, the republicans would yet again have an issue that they originally championed to chastise liberals and minorities for. The one solid factor in our political system however, (most certainly is not the democrats, or their voting records.) the republicans can always be counted on blame others for problems they aggravate in order to highlight the fact that government has the potential to harm. Kind of like shooting people, to let them know about gun safety... Over and over again. If I had the time to look up my citations I'd go on a rant here about how Saudi money controls the GOP propaganda machine, and is fine with keeping the population here destabilized and profits from being somewhat stable in a war torn region... until some recent riots that is.

Hopefully the global riots will lead to something greater than individual change. Seeking human rights, and fair economic policies in individual countries as great as that might be, and as necessary as it would be.. it pales in comparison to the necessity of an end to nationalist concepts. In a world with no borders, we cannot be told which imaginary lines make men into monsters. Lies propagate all war, whether it's religious extremists in the US government, or the hills of Arabic countries we so long ago devastated to control the oil markets. Or Cold War era 'us versus them' mentalities which cultivated fear and refusal to understand first the Soviets, and more recently the Chinese. And I'm sure there are just as meaningful foreign examples, but I have only the pleasure to live in the United States of America... which is in large part why I am so free to criticize it. It is however daunting that we now allow our police forces to use drone surveillance robots.. but on the other hand I am totally down the the EPA using them to monitor safe waste disposal, and clean water practices. But that's all opinion piece let's get down to actually important stuff. Science!
So it seems that Virgin Galactic has contracted some asteroid mining conveyance contracts, Space X has likewise contracted with Bigelow to be the main launch source for their inflatable space stations. (which btw, are 3x the volume of the ISS, and actually laid out like an earth building, with floors rather than tin-cans attached via pvc connectors lol.).

(which btw, are 3x the volume of the ISS, and actually laid out like an earth building, with floors rather than tin-cans attached via pvc connectors lol.).
The Higgs Boson, -or 'That God Damned Particle' in other more recent news has been not only detected, with verifiable data several times now, has far more implications than explaining 4% of mass associated with baryonic structures such as ourselves. (most people claim it assigns all mass, but strong and weak nuclear force actually have a good deal more of the share in that burden.)
What exactly does the Higgs Boson do that is so revolutionary? Well, in this bloggers caffeine riddled understanding (and opinion in terms of assigning grandeur -I'm like my own Higgs Boson in that way.)
It assigns mass, by interacting with particles in such a way that it instigates a resistance to movement, this is measured in turn a contributing factor to the mass of said particles. But this interaction may not be entirely limited to what we currently understand as baryonic matter. Dark Matter is also heavily theorized to interact with the Higgs boson in the same way! Why am I so excited by this that I choose to use an exclamation point? Well, my logic is as follows (flawed as perhaps it may be.) to understand the Higgs Boson, is to one day readily find, or generate said particle in laboratory conditions> if the Higgs boson can manipulate the resistance level of Dark Matter, then that moves us towards being able to find, and possibly contain said material for study, and potential future use. Perhaps the Higgs Boson could even one day provide a stable way to contain anti-matter, for 1 to 1 Matter to energy conversion drives on starships. Or Sadly more likely to destroy areas of the world where we think they have resources and are not anglo. As my understanding goes, there are implications into fields that I haven't even begun to understand, such as computing, telecommunications, and electronics. We'll have to wait and see.
On the subject of Dark Matter I'd like to just mention before I have to get ready for work. That we've recently directly observed a thin layer of massive dark matter connecting two galaxies, providing sustenance to our growing understanding of Dark Matter's role as a connective structuring filament for our universe which connects (maybe dictates the origin points of) the large observable galactic formations which comprise our universe -to our understanding. Here, have a picture and a link!
As you can see the Galactic clusters in question are named Abell 223 and Abell 222. Here is an article that goes more indepth.

Before I jump off here I'd just like to say I'm glad my viewer ship in finally picking up. I've noticed that not all of my readers come from google+ and facebook anymore. And that's neat. Adios amigos.

Wine and Espresso in the morning.
Bleh... With this kind of sleep schedule I should live on a farm. LoL. I've decided though, with all this time to think. I am passionate about Space Science, but all of my previous education experience is setup to transition to a humanities based end game such as law. And I am passionate about that too. Perhaps with increasing my earning potential instead of throwing all my college so far to scrap and following my dreams... I can one day have a job that allows me to earn enough to invest in my other passions. Sometimes you gotta call your talents where they lay, and your heart where it lays too. Bah what's it matter anyways right now. I've still got a few grand in financial aide to pay off, or at least into the good before I start back to classes... though that could be sooner than later, could also be later than sooner.
So it looks like I'm going to stay on this blog as a lay-scientist, perhaps my interest in law can provide some relevance to issues. Hell I'm an interested self-declared genius one way or the other. I prefer it one way, perhaps it works out the other but like I've said I guess it doesn't matter in the end. I am however still going to proceed with my innovations firm, which plans to work heavily with a new era of space based business.
I'll be moving to the Cincinnati area in a month and a half, at the most two months. This largely depends on getting a job there, or not being able to get a job here haha! But I go to tour apartments while visiting my old roommates, for their birthday. Live in girlfriend of other fellow Blogger Comic Chaos, who I will retain some anonymity for out of respect for the grand ol' internet. But I'll get to see those apartments on the 26th at 9:30am I'm excited. Craigslist should help me find a job. that's the plan anyhow.

Review of Vincent Jedselius' premiere album 'WebCam Stories'
I know I don't usually do music reviews. But this album really takes the Cake IMO, and needs to get some attention.
WebCam Stories - Vincent Jedselius
The first album by Fagersta, Sweden's own Vincent
Jedselius. A modern folkish take on today's life,
the lyrics and musical accompaniment are sure to
take the listener on a melodic stroll through
their own self-reflection. In my opinion This
entire album is a hit, it really connects with my
Kentucky soul. Maybe it's the similar geographies
between Morehead, Kentucky and Fagersta, Sweden?
Then again maybe it's the universality of the
human condition. Below is the link, and on a
final note I'll recommend my favourite track
before I go - "Let's call her Whiskey" certainly
speaks to this Ol' Kentucky Soul.

Back to the scene
Time once again, to start Blogging. And as such here is my Blog starter Blog entry.... How about them Oppressive world governments we all have across the world eh? Wouldn't it be nice to realize that we don't have borders. They are only in the mouths of our leaders, and the minds of our children. The guns they give us help keep peace away at night. Fear is the enemy in a world built for lovers. So why are you afraid? let's all get over it together, with resolve and an understanding of who we are and what we all share. I'll post again later tonight on recent SpaceX developments following the first successful Docking of a commercial ship with the ISS. China completes their first crewed orbital docking. Making them the first government to join the ranks of manned space capable Governments and Corporations (post the inclusion of corporations that is.) But seriously I like them for that, we need the pressure so we start putting space money back into NASA instead of leaving it all in the air force. Speaking of which the Governments worst kept secret Space Plane landed after 496 days in orbit of earth... after I figure out who is honking.
something strange about that when the airforce has a replacement shuttle basically before NASA has even considered it. But I am glad that we retired the shuttle program, it was necessary. Now we can ride safely in modern craft every time, which is to say I wouldn't be happy if we were going to rely on being overcharged by the Russians to ride in their tuna cans either. I'll type more later

A working class zero is something to be
Well it's been a long time off, and I don't have much prepared right now with the exception of some personal information. I can of course come back later to talk about recent planetary news, and technologically specific topics in the recent weeks, and days.
I found some work as a chicken wing chef, let's call it. That's something, it's a lot easier to blog with the bills paid, but there isn't as much to distract myself from with it now. Especially with an average readership of less than 10. Or 3. I moved, from a place that was fairly shitty as well, into a place that's pretty nice.
I began in a conversation with a group on reddit about some entrepreneurial space interests that we felt some random interested minds could collaborate on the development, or support for the development of technologies that we feel will provide much needed industry to a world that is ready for it. I'd like to see this industry come and replace the various industries that harm and pollute this earth. I have some plans, and I think they'll be neat. haha. I'll be back later with some actual news on the developments of whatever I talk about.
