by talesin in

ferris bueller's day off was an huge flick when i was young, and it's a many-layered story.

i was watching this vid, and realized that one reason i love this movie, is that it could be one metaphor for my life.

i took the lead, did it my way, and have had one helluva lot of fun on the journey.

it's been a life well-lived, away from the wts.. share your triumphs, your dreams.

think of the possibilities, if you were free.

to see [insert your language here] subtitles on a youtube video:1. click on the "subtitles" icon that is at the bottom of the vid to turn subtitles on.. 2. click on the "tools" icon, then select *subtitles* from the menu to choose your language.. here's google's explanation, if you want more details.

you can also use google translate (steps are in the link) if the vid does not already have subtitles, but it doesn't always work.

i couldn't listen to a russian one the other day.

... may be rotting his brain with the jw crazy.

: ( so sad for this great artist to be engulfed by the jw - the crazy is so apparent.

*sigh* always loved prince, but the jws have really done a number on his head.

Wal-Mart Workers Plan Huge Protest on Black Friday
by talesin in

wal-mart, which pays a top wage of $12.00+ to its full-time employees, is under attack, once again, by its employees and those who would like to unionize them.. i can't speak to the usa, but here in canada, most wal-mart employees are not full time.

it is mostly a part-time employer, so zero benefits.

in my opinion, that makes the $12.00+ look a lot smaller when you envision the actual paycheque.
