Don’t know if I should laugh or feel bad for them.  But all I can say is that now they know how democracy feels!

But will it help any with our price at the pump???  Hell no!  Damn Bush!

CRAP!  I hate AOL and I love Google…so I really don’t know how to feel about Google buying 5% of AOL.  I’m confused!

WARNING: IF YOU PLAN TO BUY STUFF FROM MEIJER THAT IS WEARABLE; AND YOU MIGHT POSSIBLY RETURN IT…DON’T BUY IT FROM THEM!!!!

 

Now, this is why…

 

I bought some hiker type shoes there last weekend because I needed some thicker, warmer shoes/boots for the winter time.  When I’m out playing with my dogs or shoveling, I would like my feet to stay warm.  Meijer had some on sale and they seemed to fit the bill as to what I was looking for.  Well, I got home, wore them one time for about a half hour out in the backyard to make sure they would stay warm enough.  Well, they didn’t.  I then attempted to return or exchange them at Meijer, but they would not.  The reason?  Because I had wore them.  Even though it was for a short time and even though they were in the exact condition as when I bought them; they would not return them because they had been worn.

 

Makes me think about people who buy shirts/pants/etc from them.  If you say you wear them, will they not let you return/exchange them as well???  I don’t know, but to be on the safe side…DON’T TAKE THE CHANCE!

So me and my girl went to go see Derailed this weekend.  It was an all right movie.  Nothing to get too excited over.  It started off really slow….we both thought maybe this movie wasn’t quite what we thought it was.  But then it all of a sudden got going.  But it did take a while.  I was able to predict the ending pretty much…there were not big shockers.  I would wait for it to come out on cable or borrow it from a friend before going to the theatre and spending all that hard earned cash to see it.

 

P.S. Listen to the make out music in the hotel room!  Kinda sounds like something from a cheesy porno, doesn’t it?!?!?

So, I was watching TV earlier and there was this commercial for a school that teaches foreigners how to speak English.  Problem is, the commercial was in English!  Am I wrong for thinking that’s a little weird???

Okay, I’m probably going to piss some people off by this post, but it’s got to be said.

 

I just read that the United States has pledged up to $50,000,000 (yes, $50 Million) dollars to aid for Pakistan to help with the earthquake that they had the other day.

 

Now, I know they aren’t the richest country, and I know that it’s a terrible thing.  I understand that lives were lost.  It is a very sad thing to have happened.

 

But, I would like to know how much did Pakistan give to us for Katrina?  I am just getting sick of all this crap that is going down in this country.  Our national debt is getting bigger and bigger.  Our gas prices are skyrocketing!  There are tons of people out of a job in this country!  There are tons of homeless people in this country!  And the poor, homeless, unemployed don’t have very good health care, or none at all!

 

Like I said…what happened in Pakistan is terrible.  But between the war, hurricanes, gas prices, jobless rates, a spiraling deficit, end every other thing that’s going wrong in this country; we need to start focusing on this great land a little more.  I’m not saying we should shun the rest of the world and not help when there’s a disaster.  But I think it’s all getting a little out of hand lately.

 

That’s my two-cents...do with it what you will.

Who loves Family Guy???  Well to promote their new DVD (can’t remember the name) they have a cool online Stewie Live game type thing.  It’s pretty funny.

So I just read that the new Yahoo mail is better than Google’s Gmail.  Which I just can’t believe.  I love Gmail! 

 

I checked my Yahoo account, and guess what!?!?  Nothing’s changed!  I made sure I was signed up for the newer version.  And still no difference!  Bah to Yahoo I say!

 

BTW, I haven’t found a thing from Google that isn’t cool or useful.  I have used Talk, Desktop Search, Earth, Maps, AdSense and their latest Google IG!  I know that’s a lot of stuff and it seems almost like Google is trying to take over our computers.  But the way I look at it is like this.  Google is providing great, useful products and make browsing, searching and everything else for FREE!!!!!  If they were charging for all these services or putting spyware or adware in them, then I would be pissed and not use them.  But they don’t!

 

This is kinda sounding like an ad for Google.  I just wanted to express my opinion about Google.  Check out their “lab” for other stuff you probably didn’t know they offer.

Life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer it gets to  the end, the faster it goes.

I saw “The Skeleton Key” this weekend.  It was a pretty good movie.  I kinda had an idea of what was going on…I had my suspicions.  But the ending did surprise me a little.  It was one of those “I didn’t see that coming” kind of things.  Well, it wasn’t quite the ending that surprised me, but something that was revealed near the end.  Then thinking back on the movie, it was like “oh yeah, that’s what that was all about” stuff.

 

So I would recommend it.  I give it a 4 out of 5.  Hey, now I’m a movie reviewer!  Wo-hoo!

 

Next order of business.  If you are looking for a Fender Rhodes Seventy Three (73) Mark 1A piano, I have one for sale.  It’s up on eBay right now.  I just thought that if I put it up here, maybe a Google or Yahoo search might pick it up.

So I was watching the news the other night.  There was a story about an apartment complex in downtown Detroit.  It’s sort of a senior citizen apartment complex.  And one of the residents smelled gas.  They evacuated the building to investigate.  This is what the reporter said: “they were literally scared to death”.  The thing is, nobody died.

I had Taco Bell Friday night and got a free drink!

Okay, I’m pissed.  I went to go pay my Livonia Michigan taxes (speeding ticket) today.  And come to find out, I waited too long and I had to pay an extra $45!

 

This is why I’m pissed:

 

I got a ticket for speeding where there was NO speed limit sign posted.  Also, my car can’t get up to that speed in the time that the cop radared me.  I thought I had 30 days to reply/pay.  Well, they changed it to 21 days.  But you wouldn’t know from looking at the ticket.  The entry on the ticket actually looks like the cop wrote “01 days”.  I called the courthouse up and they said that I can pay the fine and request to have the late payment set aside.  Which I should have done, but figured it wasn’t worth the $30.  I then get a postcard saying I have 14 days before they suspend my license.  I go to the courthouse today to pay this.  On the 14th day mind you.  And she says that my license has been suspended.  WHAT!?!?  Now I owe them an extra $45 to reverse it!  So, for speeding where there was no sign and for a speed that my car couldn’t do, it cost me $180!!!!!!!

 

I was just sitting here looking at the postcard and read this: “NOTICE: You may have the right to set aside a default by requesting a hearing within 14 days of the mailing date.  You must post a bond equal to the total fine and costs noted when requesting a hearing to set aside a default.”

 

You know what that means?  It means the B1TCH lied to me and I could have had more than the late fee taken off!  I could have had the whole damn thing reversed!  But I didn’t look at the card until now.  Dammit!

 

Crap like this makes me want to quit my job here in Livonia and never drive through this damned city again!

 

CAUTION:  AVOID LIVONIA MICHIGAN IF AT ALL POSSIBLE!!!!!  TRUST ME, YOU CAN’T AFFORD IT!!!!!

Okay, so as you can see, I have those cool Google Ads up there!  So, click, click, click!  Make me money!

 

I’ve also added two counters…why two?  Because I want to.

 

Oh, and click on those cool links down there for United Devices, Firefox and SETI.

 

United Devices goes to grid.org.  It’s a site based off of SETI@Home technology.  Basically, you install it on your computer and it downloads a small chunk of data.  It analyzes that data and tried to find a cure for cancer, small pox..stuff like that.

 

Firefox is a web browser that is better than Internet Explorer.  Well, at least me and all other techies think so!

 

SETI@Home is the same description as grid, but you are trying to find alien transmissions.  Who knows, you may decipher E.T.’s version of “I Love Lucy”!!!

Gunna make some money!

Okay, so I signed up for Google AdSense. So, if I'm accepted, I can make money! Horay!

I haven't been too active on this lately, but I'm going to try and update this at least once a week...hopefully more.

Stay tuned!!!
