Wow Busy

I wanted to put fun creative stuff on here but I find busy work limits the stuff I expound on.

With news on gas probably going to $5 a gallon and eventually $7 in a year or two, I'm SERIOUSLY considering TRAXing it to work with a Bike. It would be a 5 min ride to the firs station and 10 min to work at the end station. I'd save $200 a month. (or $150 if I fuel up once a month)

Jumper

It was Good movie. Heather thought it was good too...good that we had only spent a dollar. The Story follows a young man who discovers he can "jump" or teleport to any place he's been. At first he lives the high life and makes money by robbing banks with damaging anything. He returns to his home town to try and romance his high school love who always wanted to travel. He botches things up by not telling about his power and by being chased by an underground anti-jumper group who are known as paladins. I liked weighing the moral/ethical implications of both sides, but I'm funny like that.

All in all a great guy flick, fun to see not to own. I give it 8.0

The Truth...

So, I see a person I work with who smokes pick up an inhailer and get a puff.

Isn't there something wrong with that?!?

Wacko

So, for the survivors of the nuclear war you'd have to face electrified zombies. Normally they drown you but some will torture and burn you. Mmmmmm pretty picture no? Enjoy the holocaust!

Funny... nobody liked disease.

So the new Weekly Poll is on vacation escapes!

My Beef With Sayings

Here's a whopper! "The Rich get Richer and the Poor Get Poorer" I had a lady make that statement to me, and I know it's common and considered quite adapt but what do you say to that? The only thing you CAN do is say "yup, you're right..." Otherwise you sound heartless. "Naw, people just need to get off their lazy butt..."

Has the Poor really gotten poorer? (I known my English has) Average earnings increase, what were once luxuries are common place and cheep. Average living is always getting better! WELL.... what about Inflation?!? Everything costs more don't it?!? Yes, but goods respectively still stay cheep or get cheaper. At worst a family breaks even like the family of the past, but that "even" line is higher than it used to be, and tends to rise as availability of things rise as well.

What is the saying supposed to do to you anyway? Tick you off. If you are getting richer are you rich? I'm getting richer. Even if I stay an employee for ages and "work up the cooperate ladder" I'm getting richer does that make me Rich? What about Ed McMahon loosing his home, is he Poor? More evidently it used to say "Those selfish rich B*$&!*ds! They always bilk the little guy and leave 'em in the dust. They never lift their fellow man!" etc. Or it says "Life Sucks for everyone. (but the few"

I'm not a victim of the system. It is what it is. Learn the Rules and play by the set that gets you where you want to be! The Rich do get Richer by knowing how to innovate, create, and build. They often improve the lives of their fellow man by doing so. The poor get poorer only if they lack vision, ambition, and drive. Any person can make their life better if they try. Even those with terrible hands dealt to them become strong and overcome as they rise to meet the challenge.

The Rich get richer and the Poor get poorer only if they want it to be that way.It's a cool saying but it just hit me that - it doesn't really fit in my life.

Stress Relief.

Ahhh... Don't you feel better now?

MOVIES!

Yea! Everyone loves movies!

So, Prince Caspian was Awesome. I like seeing the characters grow and be different. Edmund is now cool-HUZAAH! It is funny to remember the kids at one point were adults. I suggest it for any Narnia fans. I haven't read the book so I don't know how it follows the book. A definite 9.0 movie.

Kung Fu Panda was very cute and fun. The characters are great and the action fun and lively. The lesson of the Dragon Scroll was fun and refreshing. A definitely worth it movie. Another 9.0


*shudder* Don't Mess With The Zohan... ever, just don't. It was dumb. The movie was 90% innuendo humor with old women, 9% making fun of everyone, and 1 pathetic percent crawling in half dead (I had to poke it with a stick) inspirational message. Two thumbs way down and a flopping 4.0 score. I gave it that much only for the few cool action scenes at the beginning and some semblance that the Palestinians and Israel should get along. Not much was genuinely funny, although the Hezbollah hot line was pretty good.

Any other suggestions for a review? Leave a comment!

I'm Alive!

Yup. Didn't die. Literally at least. I did die of boredom the first day I was there. So, the way down was cool and I slept in the only cool spot of Arizona near Flagstaff. That was an awesome night. Sunday I arrive at my hotel.

Hotels were invented by sadists. Most have no way to cook i.e. a microwave, or fridge and you must pay for EVERYTHING. Movies are out and so is the Internet. I wept. All that was left was TV. Uhg... I loath TV. I had no educational channels, cartoon network has crappy cartoons now, and it all just...blech LOL. So I had to have meals centered around having only hot water, Ramen anyone? and I read. a lot.

After that first day I was giddy and busy learning market and deal analysis, strategies, implementation and more. Boo yah!

I noticed this poll was the most widely distributed but we are generally disturbed tea pots in the country. Next time I'll probably review Prince Caspian and Kung Fu Panda!

Soon I go to a better place... well.. not really... it's actually quite hot... umm...

Yeah. No I'm not going to ... well, you never can tell. But I know I AM going to Arizona for a week! I'll be attending the great illustrious school of NRU! So for the next while I may be out of the loop. I'm getting the next stage of education to effectively buy and sell homes for a profit! It is my goal to do at least one deal by the end of the year. When that happens I may do even more by the end of the year. heh heh heh.

I'll post if I can, but the hiking video project may be on hold a bit.

Random Picture of the Day

Images you thought you'd never see.

I'll Huff! And I'll Puff! And I'll......

So after surfing the web at HowStuffWorks.Com Looking up tornadoes (one of the more mundane things I've looked up) I found a link to building houses out of straw bales. It was because of it's energy efficiencies and other great attributes it was on the sight. I looked into it and I think I actually want to build my house like this! Check out this house! it's a prime example!

Better Insulation
Better Strength
Better Sound Absorption
Better Fire Resistance

What's not to like?

BTW Tornadoes are mundane because I have NERD tattooed across my forehead. I look up things like how radios, diodes, and magnets work so I can eventually create a magnetic generator for my own "free" electricity even though it isn't really free. The power company will have to pay for it. heh heh heh... I love capitalism.

The New Poll

Batman and Superman move over! BONE and the Marvel crew are here to stay! For those of you who have no clue who BONE is ... REPENT!...and click on the link. I... am evenly split over the two myself so hey! whadoyaknow? I did get to follow GenX, which was an awesome part of the Marvel universe! (I still have ye old comics) But I still love BONE to death. Bone is the comic for those who don't like comics.

I did a killer hike this weekend, and I'm feelin' it. Hunter kept leaning left so my muscles on the right are sore. I did tape it so a movie is forth coming... and it has legs in it!

I also made a few additions to the bottom of the coulumns. *enjoy!*
