Dominion Power, They don't want your money.

Let me describe a scenario for you:

 

I arrived back from new York and decided i would ride out to the power company and pay them.  i knew there was a building with their logo on it 30 mins. from my house.  I decided to call and verify the address and the girl on the phone gave me a Farmville, Virginia address.  Farmville isn’t that big so i hopped in my car at about noon and drove out to town.  i arrived in Farmville a tad bit after 12:20pm, not too bad.  i drove into the center of town and began looking for the street.  First clue to this being a problem;  the aforementioned building I remembered seeing was indeed one of their office buildings but did not accept payments… Which makes about as much sense as having a superhero headquarters but not answering the door because you “don’t take requests…”

Anyway, I travelled around town for the better part of 30 mins. before getting that feeling.  you know the one where you can tell something will be going afoul rather soon.  so I pulled over at the 1 McDonalds in Farmville which coincidentally had free wifi (It’s a college town) , after several minutes of searching and google-ing (which i try to avoid) I couldn't find this mysterious street.  I decided to call and they gave me the same address then i explained that I was in the middle of town and no such street existed.  She looked it up on mapquest and realized I was right (because I totally call and drive around for hours out of a need to have attention?) and that no such address was actually in Farmville.  no, the address was actually in Buckingham, another 30 to 40 minutes away.  By now i was getting pretty pissed off, but i was determined to go pay my bill.  After my drive into an entirely different county!   I arrived at this secluded gas station literally in the middle of nowhere.  This is the payment center?  WTF??!?  So i go in, I even have my bill , I wait in line after they deal with some old guys buying worms and bait… (don’t ask)  and I hand the woman at the counter my Visa.  The store owner chimes in that they don’t accept cards, only cash or checks!!!  Like, am i in the f—cking Twilight Zone?  Who doesn’t take cards?  And why doesn’t a half-assed gas station take them especially??  so I ask where the ATM is… they don’t have one, it’s 5 miles BACK the way I came… I literally told them “F—k this, this is ridiculous…”  And i left.  Ended up paying it online where the power company charged ME $4 to process my payment… because they won’t LET you pay in person.  I hate Dominion Power, I advise anyone that has them to change.  If you can’t change then move… get as far away as possible.  Dominion Power doesn’t want your money, they don’t want you business and they’re the most inept institution I’ve dealt with since the Farmville and Crewe police departments

My opinion on Hillary Clinton

I'll start off this post by saying two things up-front. I wouldn't vote for McCain if he was the only person in the election. He's a terribly uncharismatic speaker and his tone is so dull, I actually start getting sleepy when he speaks. I'll probably go on about him some other time. I also want to state, that I like Obama. Sure, he's an idealist, but lets face it, if he actually does half the things he says, we'll be three times better off then we are. I'll post about him later too. This post is about Hillary Clinton. I've never been a fan of H.C., I've always taken issue with her duplicitous nature and her seeming fraudulentness. I'm pretty sure McCain would be preferable over her we're the choices up to me, thats right, I'd pick Obama, then McCain, then someone from an independent party, then an illegal immigrant, THEN H.C. The thing about the Clinton campaign is I think Bill clinton was a great president, the enviroment was on the mend, there was a surplus of money, jobs were on the rise, we weren't at WAR.....

That said, I can't even say i disagree with all of H.C. stances, I don't, she and Obama are a lot similiar in their stances. the problem with Hillary Clinton.... is Hillary Clinton. "Huh, what?" you might think, let me show you commentary on some recent things she has said:



Having seen that video, maybe you see what I'm saying. Hillary feels she is preordained to be the first female President and frankly if she were, that'd be fine and dandy. The problem seems to be that although she may be right about some issues, she can't be satisfied with being respected or a rolemodel for women, hard working white women (I guess), or any young women (no matter their color or nationality) that need to be able to see that politically females can be anything men can be. Hey, I have a daughter, I understand wanting your child to know that they are only limited by their own dreams and ambitions. My issue in particular is that no matter what it is you want to be or that you want to do you shouldn't lie (misremember) or attempt to change the rules when your losing or even pull the gender card because it seems like it might get you what you want. Besides, it wasnt 2 months ago that this same person was saying "politics is a tough business", unless it seems it's her.

For the record, using assassination in the context of your opponent or using past assassinations as a reference to your campaign is the lowest of the low and anyone that says differently is basically, a moron.
