Theodore John "Ted" Kaczynski ( /kəˈzɪnski/ ka-ZIN-skee, or ka-CHIN-skee; Polish: Kaczyński, pronounced [kaˈt͡ʂɨȷ̃skʲi]; born May 22, 1942), also known as the "Unabomber" (a portmanteau of UNiversity and Airline BOMBER), is an American mathematician, social critic, and Neo-Luddite who engaged in a mail bombing campaign that spanned nearly 20 years, killing three people and injuring 23 others.
Kaczynski was born in Chicago, Illinois, where, as an intellectual child prodigy, he excelled academically from an early age. Kaczynski was accepted into Harvard University at the age of 16, where he earned an undergraduate degree, and later earned a PhD in mathematics from the University of Michigan. He became an assistant professor at the University of California, Berkeley at age 25, but resigned two years later.
In 1971, he moved to a remote cabin without electricity or running water, in Lincoln, Montana, where he lived as a recluse while learning survival skills in an attempt to become self-sufficient. He decided to start a bombing campaign after watching the wilderness around his home being destroyed by development. From 1978 to 1995, Kaczynski sent 16 bombs to targets including universities and airlines, killing 3 people and injuring 23. Kaczynski sent a letter to The New York Times on April 24, 1995 and promised "to desist from terrorism" if the Times or The Washington Post published his manifesto, Industrial Society and Its Future (also called the "Unabomber Manifesto"), in which he argued that his bombings were extreme but necessary to attract attention to the erosion of human freedom necessitated by modern technologies requiring large-scale organization.

Plot: A distracted Hollywood casting director and her disgruntled assistant attempt to cast quality films from the very bottom rung of the casting ladder. Along the way, they audition a series of wacky characters, all trying to make it big in Tinseltown. Julia Johnston has been a casting director in Hollywood for years, most of the time casting "B" movies and straight-to-DVD films. She and her assistant, Michael, try to maintain calm in an office that seems to thrive on chaos. This show follows their days in casting, intercut with interviews with Julia and Michael, who seem to be living in two totally different worlds. A typical day for this casting office could run anywhere from two bored people inventing fake casting projects to a chaotic day of seeing actors that aren't right for the roles they're reading for. Julia and Michael's take on the day's events are so dissimilar that we wonder if they're working in the same office.

Plot: Cinder knew her life was over when her father came home from a business trip with a new wife and her 2 daughters when she was only 6. When her father dies soon afterwards, she pretty much has to care for herself, as her stepmother whittles away her father's money and possessions. Cinder bides her time by hanging with her best friend Justin, working at the library with the unbearable Lenore, and crushing on Cash, the psycho who tends the lawn, until her 21st birthday, when she inherits the trust fund her father left for her. When she makes off with Justin's clay doll of the voodoo god Baron Samedi, the god visits her to help "make things happen" for her--including landing a night with Cash. Little did she know, however, that Cash was in cahoots with her stepmom to do away with her so they could get her trust fund money. Little did Cash and Stepmom know, that Baron Samedi was going to help Cinder get her revenge.

Fresh off the mother fuckin-
Broadcast, and I'm here!
Fuego, nigga,
Yea, hey
Uh, it's happening fast
Yea, uh
I told niggas on the low, they ain't hear it though
Boy that man in the mirror, is a miracle
Ay wipe your face, momma told you no more tears will flow
We eating better than we was a few years ago
Send you Western Union on my payday
A week later it's mayday
So you return the favor, we stayed afloat like some sailors
Bill collectors blowing us up, they could'ntfade us
Bitch I made strait A's go ahead and try to degrade us
Haters - But this ones funny
Man one year later I was on them phones collecting money
A lesson from me, everybody got a story dog
Unfortunately learned I can't do nothing for you do dawg
I'm trynna run the whole game like a morning jog with hits like a porno blog
Not hoping out the shower to make 10 dollars an hour
Ain't judging, no, to each is own
You pay your bills to raise your kids inside a decent home
More power to you but a message to you, fuck niggas!
I hope your kids grow up and never want to fuck with you
This punk nigga knock up two hoes at the same time
And told us nigga, they were lying, dog they ain't mines
That's cold blooded but ain't nothing new
Same old, fuck it though, what's up with you?
If you make it this far listening without skipping
Then I got to show love, don't worry I'm just venting
The late night thoughts of a nigga on a mission
And I rock my girl to sleep in missionary position
Tuck that ass in and then I went and grab pen - and then you have it
Word flowing like magic, it's truly accurate
You niggas posing like some hoes up in a beauty pageant
Nobody touching me it's like I got the cooties rapping
Remember when we called niggas African booty scratchers?
Yea that was random but man so is life
You grab your needles grab your thread and hope you sew it right
I find myself fiening for a spot to go at night
Where the liquor flowing steady and the hoes polite
The fast lane make me reminisce on slowing life
The Unabomber blowing up over night
Boom! Uh!
Ay yo it's happening fast
I said it's happening fast
All the drama that I had to get past
Will it last or will it past?
Just as quick as it came
Hoes knowing my name
Dog fucking with fame
I pray to God it won't change
But even if it don't most niggas look at you strange
But I guess I can't complain (heyy)
Ay man it's happening fast (fast)
I said it's happening fast (fast)
