DVD is back on this Wendsday night. And I have some good material for this blog. Hope y'all enjoy.
"Salvation Army Standards"
We've all seen them. In there santa hats, red aprons, and the all so noticeable jingling bells.
But its the story behind the bells that you should hear before you put that quarter in there jar.
Before the jingle bell bergade starts ringing there bell they first get hired to do such a thing. So. I ask the question. If he (or she) is getting paid to ring that bell, dont you think he (or she) should have to put up with some kind of problems like the rest of us do? (the rest of us meaning the average employer who has to deal with a boss and co workers) But DVD, what problems could you add to such a job? well for starters how about they deal with the weather and not cheat and hide inside the building, and how about they accomidate there situation to make the set up more appealing? In my own opinion, the best way to make money for this cause is to gain respect and some pity points from the donor. Again, in my opinion. If I see a worker out in a snow storm standing out by his jar post ringing his bell. Im going to first respect the person for dealing with the situation, and second pull some change or dollars from my pocket. My desire to give is less when the one who is reminding to give isnt setting a high bar standard. "But DvD, its cold out there, and you shouldn't base your desire to give on the employee". I'm sorry, I've had to deal with angry bosses, with angry customers, with the cold sometimes in the mix. Oh, did I mention with screaming, crying, annoying children? The cold is an simply element to a job to get over. Its called a warm coat and layers, a beanie hat, thick gloves, thick socks, and snow shoes. See? done. your warm. Trust me, ive worked in it many many times. Oh, and that thing about giving, I don't see why my desire to give should be more then the person working there. Am I wrong? probably. But hey, wouldn't be the first time.
"Lets go old skool"
This thought is a thought I've had for some time. There is one thing in any society that runs it, controls it, can manipulate it and its people. What is this thing? Money. The thing that makes most people get up and go through 40 hours of hell. The thing that 3rd world countries lack and the reason why there still 3rd world countries, the reason why I cant have a new car. The reason why you go through more education then you really need. Money. When you break it down. Its a piece of paper/coin with a symbol. But in reality its really the most greedful thing the world has seen since saurons ring (LotR). And in most 1st world countries like the US and Canada money has lost all form of physical appearance and has become just a number on a screen. You think that Micheal Jordan actually saw his 4 million dollars he made a year? nope. All he saw was a big A number on his bank statement. Then there are those inside society who cant find a job, who cant survive all because of this piece of paper. So I have a suggestion that the rich will not like to hear. "lets go old skool". And by old skool i mean very old skool (yes I realize skool is spelled school) What do I mean by this? Get rid of money. It holds no real value but to raise a few and destroy many. Let society go back to its roots where you survived based on talent and skill through hard work. Rather than through a 40 hours work week at a dead end job. Lets get society going in the right way, everyone supports themselves through there talents and skill, and being a model is not a skill, its a eating disorder. Where are the butchers? the Bakers? the candlestick makers? Use your skill to use as trade to survive. "But what about those who have no skill, they wont survive" Dont worry, we have those in our society today as well, but there more well known as prostitutes, homeless, drug dealers, Paris Hilton, Hilary Clinton, Barrack Obama, and Ann...never mind. Again I ask, am I wrong? Tiger woods probably agrees with me. But in the end, were probably both wrong. (I know he is)
