Life is Funny: Noticing weird things in society!

What gives? A horrible expression that shows lack of intelligence.

admin — Tue, 15 May 2012 19:13:08 +0000

There are certain phrases that people use without putting much thought into them. One of them that irks me is the phrase “What gives?” What taints that expression is that it’s usually found in the same sentence as WTF. “WTF man, why is this thing still broken? What gives?” Often when someone says “what gives”, >>Read More...

Phones and computers are enslaving people.

admin — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 08:13:01 +0000

So now we have smart phones and everybody can be connected 24 / 7. Is this a good thing? Who’s the nerd now? Just cuz you may believe that you are not a geek, doesn’t mean you’re not a geek. If you are walking around with an iPhone in your purse, and you’re constantly checking >>Read More...

What is twitter, facebook, and the internet really about?

admin — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 06:17:03 +0000

Twitter is much different than Facebook, and if you haven’t tried it yet, look at what you have been missing! Some people wonder why Twitter and Facebook are so popular these days. Everyone hops onto Facebook to check out their friends and family, their status updates, etc. For the most part, it seems like a >>Read More...

Vegetable Gardens vs Mowing your Lawn!

admin — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 08:50:37 +0000

People know how to mow their lawn. They know how to rake their leaves, they even know how to wash their driveways and trim their bushes. What the majority of people don’t do, is grow a vegetable garden. It is surprising to me that people do not take the time to grow some tomatoes or >>Read More...

When u think you know someone, it’s $$$ that stands between you.

admin — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 10:05:35 +0000

I have first hand experience at this today, and I don’t like it. However, it is the truth. Sometimes the truth hurts. Money rules everyone. People are greedy. Reading this, you may think you’re the exception to the rule, but are you? Everyone has bills to pay, riches to earn, and things they want to >>Read More...

Be dynamic and learn to adapt in order to survive. GET RICH QUICK!

admin — Sat, 17 Mar 2012 08:59:32 +0000

Surviving this depression requires you to be dynamic and have the ability to adapt to this economic downturn (who are we kidding, it’s more than a downturn, it’s a slow but steady collapse). Many people reading this probably have full or part-time jobs. Problem is, most people are having a hard time just keeping >>Read More...

Anger & Animosity are Chemical Reactions You don’t Need

admin — Sat, 03 Mar 2012 06:28:26 +0000

This is a frequent phenomenon, and it is understandable. People get angry, they have animosity toward other people, and they do illogical things in the heat of the moment. “Hang up the phone, stop the conversation, get upset and walk out of the room” This is counter productive to yourself, and the person you hold >>Read More...

Bloggers want comments. Readers just want to consume.

admin — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 11:36:52 +0000

This is a rant. Bloggers, people who take the time to sit and type from their heart to the internet feel that it is worthwhile as long as someone is listening out there. All it takes is a few comments from their readers like “I agree” for it to be worthwhile. Yet comments are like >>Read More...

Freegans & Wasted Edible Food: Witness this!

admin — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 07:49:40 +0000

Today I was at the green composting center where you can drop off your yard waste, tree trimmings, and other compost material. When I arrived, I was stunned to see the following massive waste of food: It must have been about 900 lbs of apples, bell peppers, cantaloupe, bananas, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, even bread! >>Read More...

Having a sense of humor is great. Overdoing it is idiotic!

admin — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 07:42:30 +0000

Cracking some funny jokes is great. People love someone with a funny spirit who wants to make us laugh. Here’s a big problem though, and it is important that someone point it out. I just witnessed a perfect example of someone who could be funny, but ruins the moment. The other day I was waiting >>Read More...

What a joke, everyone is broke. Our pride doesn’t let us talk about it.

admin — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 08:22:15 +0000

It is no secret, everyone is broke. Simple things in life, paying rent, a mortgage, grocery shopping, or a Friday night at a pub has to be a big deal in our budget these days. Everyone thinks it is only them that is having hard times. Just because you don’t talk to your neighbor, doesn’t >>Read More...

People always react stupidly to life’s problems.

admin — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 02:09:31 +0000

This happens every single day, and it is time someone points it out. You’ve probably done this, I’ve done this, and everyone you know usually does this… Have you ever found yourself in these silly predicaments? 1. You hate your job, so you start looking at job ads and sending resumes >>Read More...

Youtube videos can’t go viral when a user chooses the wrong license!

admin — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 22:22:12 +0000

This is an ironic example I came across today on Youtube. If you make videos yourself, don’t let this happen to you. Quite simply, someone got legitimately upset, when the advertised price of the Baltimore Sun was $2.12 but a particular store was charging $3.12 instead. Armed with a video camera, the person walked into >>Read More...

Commodore 64 and what we’ve lost along the way.

admin — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 00:55:48 +0000

I read a tweet linking to http://www.retrocomputers.eu/2012/01/04/your-commodore-64-memories/ which basically is asking people about their Commodore 64 memories. I tried commenting on that blog post, but it didn’t seem to have a save button. So here goes my first trackback. Let’s see if this works. In response to “It would be great to hear your response >>Read More...

Writer’s Block: How to overcome it.

admin — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 20:46:38 +0000

I am not a professional writer. It doesn’t matter; writer’s block is something that happens to the best of us. For instance, have you ever bought a birthday or anniversary card and rather than just sign your name, you attempt to write a little paragraph or two? Instant writer’s block. How >>Read More...
