I've decided to move on from DevArt.

It's a bit of a last-second decision, I'll admit, but it's an important one I need to make.
See, I need money. Desperately. A way to bring in some extra dough is to let advertisers post links on your website . . . So, I made a website. Only, I have nothing to offer the public except for my words and few photos - which is why, from now on, any submissions you'd be hoping to see here will be submitted instead to my new site: [link]
Yes, ashamedly, it's hosted by blogspot, whatever. I'm in the process of setting things up, before spending the $10 bucks to have my own site entirely. I wanna see if I can't get that money from the income from the adverts there. All I need is for people to click them. Though, I can't really go about asking people to click them, so I won't. I only ask that those of you who actually like the crap I submit here visit the site and appreciate my works there.
Also, a bonus to the site, I'll probably be submitting works of friends' who send are feeling expressive and would like to see their work there. Of course, I'll be sure to name them, so that they get their deserved credit.

But, yeah, show some love, stop on by, click the follow button or whatever.
Much love, y'all.
Peace.

Oh, looky. I made a FUCKING RHYME.

But whatever . . .
So, for a while there, I was worried I wasn't going to get to make one last submission before taking off for Boot Camp. I was supposed to leave this morning . . . However, due to all the people signing up, you're only allowed to be signed up for a year before going into Boot. I was all set, but because I made the switch from Reserves to Active, my days restarted, and so they pushed me back down the waiting list so that others could go on time . . . Sigh . . .
I was so ready. So willing. I wanted to be gone by today, starting the reprogramming process of being yelled at and tormented and made into a killing machine. But no . . .
But the good news in all this is that I have more time to get in even better shape, try to learn even more guitar and card tricks, see my woman once more (who owes me beyond words because I wrote her final for her! Not to mention quite a few assignments) and, hopefully, make one last submission before I do actually go. Whenever that is.

I haven't decided between a poem or a picture. While I know writing is obviously my strength, I have an awesome idea for a photo. I've thrown down a few starter ideas for poems down on paper, but nothing really stuck. I have all these rhymes, but nothing matches or adds up. I come up with themes, though, but they have no rhymes for me to expand them. I'm waiting for another poem to smack me upside the face again, where the words pour from my head and hands like deliciousness from a Slurpee machine . . . Long-gone is my muse, I fear.

But bear with me, my adoring fans. We'll see what happens.

Final Essay



In 1775, thirteen English colonies declared their independence of the oppressing king and Parliament. Not all of the citizens of the colonies wanted to secede from Great Britain, but they all agreed on the represented ideas in the pamphlet "Common Sense." The concepts of natural human rights, and that the government was constructed by the people, for the people, were the strongest. However, the idea that truly struck home and convinced most to take up arms in the American Revolution was that because it was the governed that should have the say in how they are to be governed, it was also their right, their duty to dismantle the government if it went too far. The Declaration of Independence put in so few words what ideals our government today is based off of, and hence were written the Articles of Confederation, which failed due to a weak central government, then, finally, the Constitution of the United States of America. Both strongly echoed the feelings of its' people in their following of the idea of a social contract. The construction of the Constitution was a matter of tremendous care: How could they manage to create a system of government that did not impede on the natural rights and freedoms of it's people, yet still kept the states together and organized? How could they found a reliable leadership that the people could turn to for help without creating another King George III? What was there to be done about differing opinions on what was right or wrong, or legal or illegal, and the actions thereafter? The framers of the Constitution answered these questions with undeniable wisdom. They created three separate, yet equal branches of government, with layers that stretched to the Constitution itself, back down to the local city officials. There was the Legislative Branch, which would handle the states' differences, where representatives of each state would have a set amount of votes, to convey what the people wanted. There was the Judicial Branch, which would handle cases, both civil and criminal, local or federal, with the Supreme Court as the highest and final voice in deciding the outcome. Finally, the Executive branch, which was headed by the President and Vice President, who would become the face of the nation, deal with foreign affairs, and manage the nation's armed forces. This was the most controversial advancement at the time, because of how skeptical the people were of having any one person with too much power. Fortunately , Alexander Hamilton spoke to the public about their fears of the president, and showed them how very un-like a king one was(p. 275). It calmed the majority, having been shown that he was simply another part of a government constructed of the governed. The last issue to be resolved ran alongside the fears of the people of the powerful executive: what was to keep either branch of government from becoming too powerful, and ruining the balance that kept the roof over the head of the people? The answer was the system of checks and balances(p. 20): each branch would have a way to upstage the other, a way to keep the other from going beyond the will of the people, or the other branches(which, indeed was one of the arguments Hamilton made to quell the worries of the people involving the Executive Branch[p. 275]): Congress, the Legislative Branch, could pass laws, but the President, Executive Branch, can veto proposed bills - and if both of the Houses of Congress can come together in a two-thirds vote, they can override the veto. The House of Representatives has the power to impeach the President, just like Federal judges, if convicted. The Judicial Branch can invalidate any action by either other branch if it could be considered unconstitutional, but those branches can also enact amendments to the Constitution to get around such invalidations - which brings us full-circle to the power of veto. This complex, yet sound and logical system is all written out in the Constitution, which is designed to uphold and defend our rights as the governed, the citizens of the United States, without creating anarchy or another tyrannic power.

Digging deeper into this separation of powers, one will find that among the different branches, the powers and abilities of each are thoroughly outlined by the first three articles of the Constitution. The very first article explains the Legislative Branch in depth, delegating a bicameral legislature: the Senate, and the House of Representatives. The House of Representatives is granted the power of Impeachment by the Constitution, as well as the power to choose all their own officers, including the Speaker of the House. The power of impeachment isn't what most assume - to impeach is really just bringing to the forefront charges of unconstitutional or unlawful conduct. The actual power to impeach, as perceived by most, is granted to the other half of Congress, the Senate. However, they cannot simply remove a federal official from office. Like every other issue handle under the law, the impeachment process is a trial, with the Senate acting as the court, over which the Vice President presides, unless in the case of a presidential impeachment, the Chief Justice stands in(p. A-9). After that, the Constitution goes on to detail that each legislative branch has the power to create it's own rules, decide the details of it's on proceedings, and the punishment of it's members - which goes for the other branches as well. However, a specific power of the legislative branch given by the Constitution is the power to come up with new ways to increase revenue, including laying and collecting taxes, barrow money on the credit of the United States, to regulate commerce internationally and nationally, and to manage Naturalization requirements.They also handle the production of money, and building and maintaining an armed defense force to help protect country and her interests. The most important power granted to Congress, however, is the ability to use "implied" powers - ones that aren't necessarily stated in the Constitution, but(obviously) implied by the position of either chamber of Congress(p. A-10,11,12,13). These powers belong to the legislative departments alone. However, the other two branches posses their own specific powers stated in the first three articles. For instance, the second Article of the Constitution speaks of the Executive branch. It states the following powers shall belong to the President of the United States alone: Commander-in-Chief of all the nation's armed forces, requiring opinions of the heads of the executive department heads, making treaties to be approved by the Senate, appointing federal officials pending approval of the Senate, and to make a State of the Union address to the people(p. A-16,17). Lastly, the third article of the Constitution states the regulations of the judges of the Supreme Court, and grants them tenure that can only be removed upon poor behavior. Otherwise, it merely states that there should be a judicial system set up by Congress to handle cases of all types(p. A-17,18). Basically, the first three articles of the Constitution are designed to establish with just the right amount of clarity the three different branches that the framers decided on, and what powers should be bestowed to them to appease the people and stay true to their rights while maintaining order.

Now, though our system of government was designed keep any one branch from becoming too powerful, it couldn't necessarily stop all of them from expanding. For starters, let's look at Congress and how it's enumerated powers spread significantly with the achievement of the "Necessary and Proper Clause," also known as the "Elastic Clause." This clause, and so power, came to be early in the days of the newly-developed republic. Alexander Hamilton pressed Congress to create the Bank of the United States, and while the Constitution gives Congress quite a bit of power when it comes to the country's finances, nowhere does it say anything about creating a national bank. When accused of pushing for too much, Hamilton brought to bare the Necessary and Proper Clause. George Washington agreed with Hamilton, and let Congress establish said bank(p. 236, 237). This action set the example for the future when it came to interpreting the Constitution and it's distribution of powers - they would from there on be considered on a much broader scale than those in office originally assumed. With such a power as the "Elastic Clause," this meant that Congress could do almost anything they found necessary and was deemed constitutional within the mention of their powers by the Constitution. The idea of Congress having implied powers was undeniable by 1819, when Chief Justice John Marshall made a statement that followed Hamilton's example when explaining his decision regarding a state attempting to levy a tax on a federal bank: "Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consistent with the letter and spirit of the constitution, are constitutional."(p. 237)

The Executive Branch isn't one to be left behind in the race to expand it's powers - in fact, the total vagueness of the second article of the Constitution leaves plenty of room for action of all sorts, depending on the person holding the office of President. If one is aggressive, they can take action in achieving their goals with little worry of exceeding constitutional limits. This was probably intended by the framers, who more than likely predicted many different types of presidents to be voted into office in the future. Another item one could consider an expansion of presidential power was George Washington's decision to build a staff to head the various departments of the Executive Branch when the framers thought they wouldn't be necessary. Since 1789 to the present(p. 287), the president has surrounded himself with those of his choosing to handle the various tasks associated with the office of presidency, lightening his burden, and creating a more hands-on and detailed approach for each department. With the slow broadening of staff under the president in the White House, the president's powers have indeed broadened, taking the president into the center of the policy process(p. 281). It is this mass of staff members today that have many critics accusing the table of tilting in the Executive Branch's direction. Further extension of power is shown through the president's "inherent" powers - an example of this is easy to find today, with out troops in Iraq fighting a war that was never officially declared by Congress. Bush used a power he inherited as president from former president Abraham Lincoln: when President Lincoln had issued a naval blockade on the southern states, and his advisers questioned the constitutionality of such acts, he spoke with reason that it was to protect the Constitution's interests, and therefore was constitutional, even if such a power wasn't specifically granted in the Constitution.

The branch taking the seat furthest from today's issues is the final branch: the Judicial. However, while the Judicial Branch might not bring much to bat with the current economic crisis and the war in Iraq, it's not to say that they haven't taken steps to expand their own powers since the constructing of the republic. The judges of the judicial branch are granted life-long tenure, with which they wield a significant amount of power to make decisions on cases that could cause policy-makers to take actions the public would very much disapprove of. Judges have the power to decide the right and wrong of any case brought to trial, in accordance with the Constitution. Using the parameters of right and wrong as set out in the Constitution, the judges have the power make rulings on cases that could alter the policies of either of the other branches. An example could be found back in 1954 with such cases as Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, where the nine Supreme Court justices ruled that the segregation of schools was unconstitutional(p. 124) - which strongly contradicts what the Supreme Court had originally decided was constitutional back in 1896(p. 123), altering a policy, and also using the power of judicial review. The power of judicial review was first asserted by the Supreme Court in 1803, in the case of Marbury v Madison. The case was closed when the Supreme Court made clear their point of view of what was considered constitutional and wasn't amongst the opposing arguments. This action of the justices set in stone the power of judicial review: the ability to view the Constitution and her policies however they should choose in accordance with the case at hand in order to decide the outcome. These powers stir up controversy, as they could easily be considered un-democratic, seeing as how the people aren't the ones electing and appointing the judges who in turn change policies, but at the same time it could be considered appropriate in order to assure the rights and freedoms of individuals through the changing times.

These days, as economic issues get tougher and international relations become more strained in the race for resources, the people of America - indeed, people all over the globe - turn to the President of the United States of America. His decisions form the methods of our country, the way way influence the world, and shows in his actions just how far we as a people have come in terms of advocating the more perfect union that we strive for. A perfect example of this is a recent CNN story, wherein Obama grants some benefits to same-sex partners of federal employees. While many gay-rights activists criticize him of not taking more promised action since the election, Obama still leads the way with slow and steady progress, promising further action soon( [link] ). This, along with his other decision to let the people of Iraq handle their own election, and to only stand with them rather than for them, shows that he truly meant what he said when sharing the news of the same-sex partner benefits: "We've got more work to do to ensure that government treats all its citizens equally, to fight injustice and intolerance in all its forms and to bring about that more perfect union." The point in bringing these points to light is to show how much power the President has and, subsequently, how the executive branch is the most powerful of the branches. This excessive power originates from the philosophy that Constitution was based on: the social contract theory. The theory that the government is made by the people, for the people, and can be made powerful or weak by the will of the people. In other words, it's the dependency we as a people have towards the President is what grants him the power to make the biggest decisions that shape the future of our world. If we were to start looking to Congress, or start expressing our new ideals to the legislative process, then they'd be in the same situation Obama is in. However, he would still, in the end, have strong say in the passing of the new policies with his power to veto. Not to mention the media, who have the power to tell the governed what the President is or is not doing to fulfill their wishes, and cover him and his actions like white on rice because he makes interesting speeches and conducts educating interviews. Watching Congress in action could be compared to watching paint dry most of the time, making the media less willing to cover them, and taking away a lot of the power of public influence, and therefore power altogether. In conclusion, the framers of the Constitution did a good job in separating the powers of government, and developing ways of making sure neither branch becomes an over-powered tyrant like another King George III - but they did an even better job in ensuring that government was a product of the governed.








I literally stayed up for two days working on this sonuvabitch. Sure, it's probably not all that much to brag about, but I'm damn proud of it. Created me a goddamned monster. It's supposed to be five pages . . . But if the professor gets smart about it, I'll just mess with the format and print it out and hand it in in person to make my point. I deserve a fuckin' A on this one. Screw the midterm. I'm passing this class! >:[

#1: As far as any of you should be concerned, the only language I speak is American. Not English - American. You don't need to know if I speak or understand any other language, because you will never hear me say anything in another language, nor acknowledge whatever it is that you try to sneak paste me in some foreign tongue. Clear?

#2: Hm. Romance. If only the stuff in books and movies were real. It's all a trap. Men may be capable of real love, but no woman has the dedication to belong to one man.

#3: If I don't have some kinda meat, preferably beef, with almost every meal, I can become very grouchy. I'm a fatty like that, too - I eat constantly. But I do my best to work it off and stay in shape. I got nothin' against vegetarians, except when they try to make me feel bad for answering nature's call. That just pisses me off.

#4: I love weather in general. I hate this part of the globe because the only weather we have is light drizzle, to mild humidity and some clouds, and what little there is between. That just ain't right. I want RAIN. I want SNOW. I want a fucking tornado now and then. OH GODDAMNIT I CAN'T WAIT TO GET OUT OF HERE!!!

#5: I have a tremendous circle of friends, but a very teeny-tiny group of true friends - which shrank even more, recently. In the end, though, I'm still alone. Always have been, always will be. And as lonely as it gets . . . It's more than fine and dandy with me.

#6: I've never cared about what people thought of me, just as long as they don't go around spreading bullshit about me - because that's just straight-up disrespect. I don't necessarily care to be liked by anybody, either. You can hate me all you want. All I want is your respect. And I'll do whatever it takes to earn it.

#7: I hate math. I can be good at it if I find the patience to sit down and do it, but in case you haven't figured it out by now, I'm not a very patient person. At all. I can be if I have to, but that's rarely the situation. However, when it comes to philosophy, physics, or writing of any kind I can promise to blow your mind.

#8: I hate sounding conceded. I am not self-centered. I have respect for myself, and getting the job done with as little drama or debate as possible. Just shut up and do as I say, and we'll all walk away from this in one piece.

#9: I'm about as healthy as they come. I very rarely ever get sick, I workout whenever I get bored, and I'm like a space heater with how literally hot I get. My worst habit in terms of health is my constant dehydration.

#10: I find humor in places most people would most likely frown upon. The bizarre, unexpected, and totally ass-hole-ish things people can do make me laugh. There is a point where it's just too much, of course, but it's pretty far out there for me.

Best secret keeper: Garrett.
Worst secret keeper: Stu has a habit of forgetting what is or isn't a secret. Red just blabs for the attention.
The one you have but don't want: I'd say Red, but he's so high on his own stack of shit(almost literally. He's so proud of himself for the most pointless things) that he can't even look at me any more. So . . . Problem solved?
Smartest: I'd say Stu, but he's half memorization, half bull-shit. But that leaves Garrett, though he's half experience, half bull-shit. That would leave Red, but he's not even worth mentioning. Half bull-shit, half stupid.
Preppiest: Red.
Most ethnic: lolwut?
Hottest: I'd say me, but I'm not my friend. So Garrett, without a doubt. He learned from the best. ;D
Shortest guy: Stu. Never really thought about it, but he is actually kinda short.
Biggest flirt: Garrett.
Biggest pervert: Ohh yyeeaahh ;D
Most desperate for love: Stu. It still makes me sick to think how pathetic he gets over either of those women.
Always in trouble with the law: Again, I'd say me . . . Garrett.
Fashion forward: The only one of us that tries aside from me is Garrett. But he does his own thing.
Least fashionable: Red dresses like my TV repair man like it's the sexiest thing in the world, and Stu wears, quite literally, the blandest shit you could imagine. So it's a tie between those two.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN

Heaven: Of a sort.
Hell: Of a sort.
Angels: For a lack of a better term . . .
Devil: For lack of your imagination . . .
God: Not the Christian one that this probably refers to.
Buddha: All I know is that if you rub his belly you get good luck. :0
Aliens: I almost wanted to leave Kilbeth's reply. But I must try to be original! Uhm . . .
Yes, without a doubt, I believe there HAS to be. Existence is infinite, just as much as non-existence is never-ending. Therefore, there is no possible way that we are the only intelligent life out there. Possibly the only intelligent life with the kind of brain that lets us alter the elements into what tools we use both daily and for the exploration of space - or otherwise . . . I'm just ganna stop here.
Yes, I believe in aliens.
Ghosts: Yup.
Spirits (souls): Yar.
Soulmates: Something of the sort.
Reincarnation: Yeah, but probably not in the way most others do.
Love at first sight: Every woman I know always says it's only lust at first sight. I really think it's love. Well, not necessarily love, but a very strong attraction that is NOT sexual.
Karma: I believe in Karma more than I believe the sky is actually blue.
Love (in general): While I believe men completely capable of actual LOVE, I find in increasingly difficult to believe that women can reach such a real level of dedicated, selfless emotion.
Luck: Sort of. More tied into karma and fate.
Yourself: I believe that my stubborn determination will take me where I'm meant to be. Not so sure it's something good and worth believing in, but whatchagannado.
Life in other galaxies: Good god, must I?
Survival on other planets: If we stopped bitching about who's god could beat up the others' god and spent time expanding on constructive technologies, it would be easier than taking a dump after sucking down a gallon of prune juice.
Every cause has an effect: That's basic word-play mixed with common sense.

Something you don’t understand @ the other sex: When you understand the human mind and it's weaknesses, there is nothing mysterious about either of it's genders.
If you could go out on a date with someone, who: My woman. Because every time I try to take her on an actual DATE - dinner, movie, something like that - she either blows it off seconds before, or half-way through.

Most romantic thing you want to happen to you: I've got all the best moves. I just wish luck would happen for me - something so unbelievable, so romantic, that emotional wall she's set up would just explode. Sigh.
Most romantic thing that has happened to you: Hmm . . .
What would you wear on a coffee date: My usual. Jeans, Nikes, some kinda entertaining shirt, and sports coat. And tie, of course.

Is it OK to cheat if you've been cheated on: Done it once. All it did was make me feel even worse. Never again, no matter what.
What is worse, emotional or physical cheating: Physical cheating IS emotional cheating . . . And there's no pain worse than being cheated on by somebody you honestly love.
Are the eyes the window to the soul: It's how I get what I want.
Who did you take to prom: I didn't go. Fuck prom. My lady wanted to go to a concert, instead.
Without me.

Goddamnit.
What did you do right after prom: I was sleeping. Or trying to. I think I managed to drink enough to not remember.

DESCRIBE IN YOUR WORDS

Mellow: Leave me alone.
The perfect date: Easy laughs.
The perfect mate: The moon were it a her.
How M&M's are made: The beautiful marriage of love and perfection.
Why manholes are round: Just bad luck.
Why the sky is blue: Don't get me started.
Why people cheat: Because they’re too stupid to break up, or just plain whores.
How many licks till you get to the center: Add a finger and it doesn't take long.

Why everyone wants to live in the United States: Because they realize that we grant them rights other places will never protect with such conviction. Fuck any goddamned one of you ungrateful fucks who sit their and damn the United States. At some point in time, a father left his child and lover forever so that you can sit there and criticize their sacrifices. You make me sick - beyond vomiting. You go on to say that people like me only bring up this argument because it's all we have to fall back on - pity and sacrifice. Fine. believe what you want. But the next chance you get, go talk to one of those thousands upon millions of people out there around the world who attack the United States on a daily basis(which you never hear about because there are still people who care about the sanity of the peace-lovers here in the States, and so keep it secret), and ask them why they do it. I promise you, you will never encounter a greater amount of hatred in a single human being than those people have for you as an American. And do you know why?
Because it's their religion.
You close-minded pricks don't deserve the air you breathe.
And as for the economy . . . Business owners need to start to providing us their fucking services, and stop trying to buy the next biggest car. Consumers, y'all need to quit being pussies and start buying stock. Fix your own goddamned problems. If you want to blame somebody so bad, lay off the government. It's the fault of the illegal immigrants and the cheap asswipes hiring out our jobs to people over seas.
