NoJoMo #19 – Rant and How the West Was Won

Well…

I think for today’s NoJoMo I’ll just rant a little. It’s been awhile since I’ve put any of my ‘filler’ up on an entry. =P Jennrific

Today I was helping one of our newer programmers through a pretty difficult bug – which is something I always enjoy doing – I like programming, and I like teaching. And that’s a combination of both – teaching programming.

Anyways, this girl was wearing some cleavage revealing clothes, let me tell you! It’s very hard to focus on logic/reasoning when you just want to motorboat somebody. =

It sucks being a guy, sometimes. Our minds are just marinated and saturated with testosterone – the drug of lust and aggression. Supposedly at any given point in time, if you took a sample of a guys blood as compared to a sample of a girl’s blood, the guy usually has around 30 times as much testosterone in him. Thirty times! That’s ridiculous!

Now you ladies should imagine the absolute horniest you’ve ever been, and then picture that x30. It’s overwhelming.

Either way, I was able to help her DESPITE this handicap. But that bug is going to take a few days. Probably wont truly be done till Friday of next week. So hopefully she’ll wear some turtlenecks or something.

It got me thinking though – I really think I should make Programming Tutorial Videos. For C++. I think I could make some really good ones, and I do have a lot of nice video capturing software.

I couldn’t leave well enough alone… It bothered me that I could find no clips from old shows like “How the West Was Won”… so I made my own and posted it on youtube. Haha. =)

I got the videos from a bootleg source, so the quality isn’t the greatest, but this is definitely one of my most favorite episodes.

This episode was called “China Girl”

“Of all the immigrants for whom America eventually became a permanent home, perhaps none were so manipulated, or suffered as many indignities, as the Chinese. Though 12,000 of them built the western half of the transcontinental railroad, they were not permitted to become citizens of this country, and they had no rights whatsoever. They could not even testify against a white man in court. And seven years after the Emancipation Proclamation freed Black slaves, naked Chinese girls were being sold at auction to their own countrymen on the streets of San Francisco. But with famines sweeping China still they came at their thousands seeking food for their bellies and hope for the future. In the beginning, they often labored sixteen hours a day for as little as twenty cents. But they somehow survived these hardships to become a vital part of a growing America as one of the finest and proudest chronicles in the history of the West“
