The Constorium of Greater Minds

Whats going on consort? Your boy has just finished his move to the d.c. metro area over the weekend. The work grind starts sept. 2, so just enjoying life until dooms day. Pictures of the apt and area will be coming soon, so stay tuned for some new eye candy. O, and welcome to the group R Saguin and D B Johnson.

Hey guys…since the site is back up and the summer is wrapping its self up, hence me finishing up grad school, I thought I would drop a line about my plans post school. I ended up accepting a job as a Industrial Engineering Patent Examiner at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office starting Sept. 2. I visited the D.C. area early in the summer, and was fortunately able to catch dejae, my new dc buddy, eyecue before he dipped to the left coast, and signed a lease for an apt out in Arlington. So plans have been set up and I will be leaving the sunshine state for the capital city aug. 15.

So…lastnight went to see a midnight screening of the new batman movie, The Dark Knight, and I was blown away. I have not seen such a great movie like this in a very long time. An instant classic. You will be blown away by the story, the acting, and the superb directing. This is how movies should be made, but rarely are. If you don’t have plans of seeing it..change them and go watch this movie…it will leave you speechless.

As most people about to graduate do, I started up the dreaded job search. I knew this day would come again, as I had already experienced this when I got my undergrad. This is the great time when you look through hundreds of online job descriptions that don’t make any sense, but you apply anyways.

Sample:

Job: Operations Research Analyst, U.S. Airforce
Major Duties: Apply rigorous methods of logic and scientific disciplines to develop and evaluate alternative approaches and courses of action for a wide spectrum of problems.

wide range of problems, hey why not….

Operations Research Analyst, U.S. Army
Major Duties: This position is developmental. You will utilize professional knowledge of mathematical, statistical, econometric, and other scientific methods and techniques to perform a variety of Cost Analysis duties in support of HQDA.

Do I know what HQDA is? Hell no…but lets apply anyways…

Its also the time when you put your resume for those on campus interviews and talk to some jackass about how much you would love to inslave yourself to his company if given the chance while he talks about how much he loves his job in designing bombs that inflict maximum damage to the target, while i sit and wonder if his work has killed any innocent lives…

And the best part was when I get a missed fone with no voice mail, which i google the number to find out who had called me. Its the patent office, which I wouldn’t mind working for. After calling back to the number 3 times a day for a week, I finally get through to someone who looks up my file and asks if I will finish by may, when it clearly says on my resume that I will graduate in aug. Then he tells me if i change my mind (ie drop out of grad school with 4 months remaining) that i should give him a call back soon, since I can take a lower position with a b.s., if not call back in the summer. Why the hell would I drop out of grad school???

I’m sure the frustrations will continue, and Ill keep you guys posted on who I sign my soul away to…

Whats going on fellas? Was doing the usual surfing the web and came across this hot site that has all kinds of documentaries that you can stream off the site. Most of these films have won awards and have been featured at the sundance and tribeca film festivals. If you dont have anything to do and wanna take a look here it is:

[ free documentaries ]

a couple of hot ones that ive taken a look at and are suav recommended viewing are why we fight, war on democracy, zeitgeist, fog of war.

Well me being the only one that is still in school (who the hell talked me into getting a masters anyways??), I ended up visiting the former stomping grounds of the consortium. Sweetness came for a few weeks as well, but being on a 2 week pass from ranger school kind of left him out of action. I made my way south to partake in some winter fun and introduce the fam and my girl what the crew usually does in the winter. It was a nice trip and i even got the old man to try out the board. Here are a few snapshots of the action boys…

Yo, think about coping Lupe’s new album “The Cool”. Its out Dec 18th. Ive downloaded to check it out and it is sounding pretty hott. Imma cop it legit off itunes pretty soon….

I remember hearing this on that caveman geico commercial and thinking it was pretty hott…

Something nice to look at since its suppose to almost be that time of year…

well fellas…ive been absent from our community of greater minds for some time, so i thought i would give a quick little update on the status of life affairs. Ive been chilling out in d.c. with fellow member eyecue for a few weeks now, kicking it and seeing what hots spots are unfound in this capital of capitals. Sweetness is set to join us late in the summer and pictures of our mishaps should be coming up shortly…also, there is a slight possibility that your boy might be transfering grad schools starting in jan to george washingon u. out here in d.c. so more updates on that soon….Respek
