Randomly suspended from Twitter.

theblaqman@gmail.com (Hilton T. Young) — Tue, 05 May 2009 03:49:00 GMT

Wow. I went to check twitter and noticed I had been suspended, so I logged into my other two twitter accounts and noticed I was suspended there as well. I composed the heartfelt email below and sent it and immediately noticed I was reactivated already. Wierd.

Help. My twitter accounts have been suspended. I don't know that I've violated anything. I read the why am I suspended page and it all seemed to point to spam or name squatting.

I'll describe what I've done, but I can assure you there was no negative intent. I love twitter and I was using it I ...

Falling in Love With a Boy

theblaqman@gmail.com (Hilton T. Young) — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 04:41:00 GMT

Here I am, nearing 30 and still learning about myself and life. I think this is what life is all about...Education. It's a lifelong practice to learn.But I digress. The real topic of this post is how I'm trying to learn to be a father. Here's the back story. I've played the part of deadbeat dad mostly for the first 4 years of my son's life for various reasons. Partially, I was scared of being a father. I didn't believe in children out of wedlock. His mom also left the door open ...

About to be on the news

theblaqman@gmail.com (Hilton T. Young) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 19:42:00 GMT

Apparently I ranted to my local CBS affiliate about their wall-to-wall BO coverage and they conveniently ignored the rant at that time. But they saved the email and now are planning to interview me as a part of a story they are doing on black conservatives. Imagine my surprise when one of their main anchors personally started calling me to set up the interview. I haven't felt this entitled since the last local John McCain rally, where I was grabbed by a handler and escorted to the front of the line of people on stage and in view of the ...

NASCAR is back. My favorite sport!!!

theblaqman@gmail.com (Hilton T. Young) — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 20:10:00 GMT

If you're a fan, its that time of year again. Time for the super bowl of racing, the Daytona 500. I love the fact that my favorite sport has the longest season (only 3 months off). The field is shuffled by the economy, with teams losing sponsorships and laying people off. Nascar is closer to its roots with more of a racing to be able to continue to race feel, and less of a feel of too many competitors trying to race every week. I get the feeling that by mid season, they may be back at the point where ...

Trying to keep up with updating the blogs/webs.

theblaqman@gmail.com (Hilton T. Young) — Thu, 05 Feb 2009 20:44:00 GMT

I've done some work recently, updating the tech blog at blog.suffolk757.com to a new design, and adding a few new posts. Also updated the front page at www.suffolk757.com . I also started a political blog at www.differentwaytothink.com .
I hope to make it a point to update my blogs more often to keep them useful. I'll also try to blog here about life in general.
First update:
I'm working tech support in Va Beach, VA. Loving the job, but alas its seasonal, and it will end around the middle of April. I'm trying to time things out so I get ...

Quote of the year concerning politics.

theblaqman@gmail.com (Hilton T. Young) — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 04:32:00 GMT

Stumbled upon a quote that perfectly mirrors my beliefs while commenting on a blog that said that taxing the rich more to spread the wealth was a good idea. That article was here .

I'm thinking of how to leave my mark on this world.

theblaqman@gmail.com (Hilton T. Young) — Sun, 31 Aug 2008 06:58:00 GMT
    I worked a temp job this week where one of the nice things was being able to listen to the radio. Unfortunately, this week was the week of the Democratic National Convention. Living in an area with a large minority population, this meant the radio was pretty much "all Obama, all the time". Couple this with the fact that I got to see Barack at a town hall the week before in Chesapeake, VA and I began to think. I had a simple, boring job of repackaging instant tea packets, so the only way to fight boredom and sleep was ...

Updated Suffolk757.com

theblaqman@gmail.com (Hilton T. Young) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 06:41:00 GMT
I updated the site to remove the unwanted menu frame, add some drop shadows and tighten up navigation. I think the site looks a lot cleaner and more professional now, though I'm thinking it really pops more in IE than firefox due to the fact that IE renders so much faster than Firefox and I have a little bit of eye candy code in my html. Enjoy, and please anytime you visit one of my sites take the time to click on one or two of the adds on the google banners. You don't have to actually look at the ...

The Saga Continues: Unemployment

theblaqman@gmail.com (Hilton T. Young) — Fri, 08 Aug 2008 18:57:00 GMT
    So, I finally had my interview to determine if I was eligible to receive unemployment. On the line was the Unemployment Commission person, and a woman who worked in the office for my former employer. I was shocked at first by the fact that an office worker handled my case. I worked in a warehouse and there were supervisors there who knew me and about my work, but they used someone who knew nothing about me. The second shocker was even worse however.

    In the past year my company had went back to a location it had ...

Virginia makes being unemployed unnecessarily difficult.

theblaqman@gmail.com (Hilton T. Young) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:39:00 GMT
    I am Hilton Young and I am unemployed. I worked a dead end job for 3 years, after which they began to tighten their rules to make up for the tough economy. As a result, of this and the fact that the 'veterans' weren't actually told the rules had changed, I began making mistakes that I didn't know I was making. Eventually my supervisors began to 'ride' me and it wasn't out of the ordinary to have my work day start out with 3 or 4 supervisors coming over to tell me to 'stop fuckin up', or let me ...
