So im sitting at home this morning, playing on my laptop before i have to go to my substitute teaching assigment. Flicking throught the tv channels there is not much on so i stay with NASA TV. They are showing some really good old footage of Mercury and Appollo missions, and now they have switched over to Live coverage of the ISS Mission. Ooh, this should be interesting.
Currently the ISS is orbiting above western europe, and the static camara inside the ISS shows a couple of Russian guys floating around doing pretty much nothing. This place sure is messy, Captain Kirk would have a fit if the Enterprise ever looked this bad. Oh look at that, a digital camara just floated by the static video camara.
Every now and again they switch camaras and show you what they are doing at mission control in Houston. I can count twelve personel sitting at their stations, and guess what they are doing......NOTHING! Just sitting there. Every now and again someone will stand up then sit down again.
Man, how do you get a job at NASA. I could do that!

Three things:
1. You have to climb on top of a bomb to ride to work. 
2. You stay at work for weeks (sometimes months) at a time.
3. Most Important- THERE IS NO NOOKIE IN SPACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow I thought me and Zoltrax from Phalbious Nine were the only ones that watch that channel.
The percentage you're paying is too high-priced
While you're living beyond all your means
And the man in the suit has just bought a new car
From the profit he's made on your dreams

Well Jackson, evidently you now have a third member of your little interplanetary viewership..."Markzoid from the planet Soccertron"!!! 
Yep! Just like a good Single Malt Scotch, you might call me "an acquired taste" TOO.(among the many OTHER things you may care to call me, of course)
