American Idol

Is it just me or are the contestants and their names more black than usual?

No Executive Experience

It really is true, name a candidate whose had any sort of executive experience because I can't think of one which is why its been so hard, at least for me to pick a candidate.

Look we have Obama who was in Congress and who has a mentally sick wife.

McCain who is old as shit and could die at any given time, I don't give him 4 years of stress and whose wife is a cougar, she's more concerned with looking good on TV than anything.


And then we have Clinton and his husband, er her husband, is that right?

That's enough, happy voting.

Real quick

Kinda busy....but get this. On the radio today there was some commercial for an insurance company where the guy comes on and says why they're the best. The guys name...no lie was Dick Gaylord.

Come on! You know that kid got the shit kicked out of him in school. I'm sorry man!

Air Travel

There are certain "types" of people that feel as though they more or less own the plane. Now I think its pretty self-explanatory when they say "tray tables up and in the locked position and seats fully forward prior to take off and for landing" that that would mean....well just what it says. Then why do these "certain people" feel as though they can go against these rather explicit rules. Then when the flight attendants come by and mention it they look at them as if they have no idea what is going on or why they are being asked to return their seats or tray tables. It makes me want to just get up and punch them in the face....or just be the kid that sits behind them and kicks their seat for the 3 hour flight. My other favorite is when, usually women carry on their one HUGE duffel bag, and their one person item, usually a purse, also equally as big as the duffel and then mysteriously they are allowed to have another bag, as if its ok to have an extra personal personal item! Well excuse me ladies but there is limited space in the overhead bins and then you block the aisle and wonder why this may be an issue in the event of an emergency.

Is it no wonder why I always sit on the aisle!? Oh and there is no way in hell I am going to switch with you to sit against the window...no don't ask.

Random thoughts

Is it just me or are the majority of individuals employed by the airlines gay and/or appear so?

Oh I have a question

Are there reward programs for astronauts? You know like frequent flyer programs! I'm just curious because Atlantis just came back to Earth after a 5 million mile journey.

Now that's a lot of points!

Satellite Party!

Let's have a party and watch the U.S. Government shoot down this errant satellite and spend yours and my hard earned dollars to the tune of $60 million (that's just for the missile). China did this some years back to a much smaller satellite and everyone's complaining that there is debris up to 4 inches thick as a result....and this will be different....how?? Not to mention they will be using the heat seeking technology used in other missiles currently, yet they have to tone down the settings since the satellite is "colder than usual." Uh well no shit its been in space for a few years if not decades its kinda cold out there, but I have to hand it to those rocket scientists, I mean at last they picked up on this....do we remember when they screwed up measurements forgetting to convert them back from millimeter to meters, or something like that....yea thats only off by a thousandth...no big deal.

Hey listen, its not like we have a say in how much they spend or if they do it or not cause NASA's a bunch of space cowboys anyway, but I can tell you this, lets hope my plane isn't in the air when they decide to launch this puppy because I'm assuming my jet will be a little warmer than that satellite and I really don't feel like jumping out of the plane to skip being shit plowed by the $60 mil rocket going an "estimated 22,000 mph".

So yea in terms of the party I'm thinking we all watch TV and turn on Chemical Brothers song Surface to Air. Sound good?

Fun fact for the day

I found out today why my job can be so fantastic, not only do I get to travel to sub-tropical climates in the dead of winter and stay on the weekends sunning myself in 80+ degree F heat while others freeze their balls off in sub-artic snowy messes in 20 degree F and less temperatures. I know hard to believe it does get better. My job is completely relient on the servers of which our software sits. If, for whatever reason those servers happen to go down....that means instant break until they happen to come back up.

Add that to the list of why I love my job!

Something good to come of Britney Spears?

I heard this first on the radio and sure enough it was true. A new criminal law may be passed due to the happenings surrounding Ms. Britney Spears. Read more about it here.

And would you look at this...something I talked about in an earlier entry.

"The photo agency X-17 says that as long as the demand exists, the supply will continue, regardless of a new law."

There's also fear that it may "trample on one's First Amendment rights." So to what end will it require an amendment of the amendment, someone being killed as a result? Ever heard of Princess Diana? Right.

Now to lose the demand.

What does that mean?

Chrysler has been running this promotion to get a "Lifetime Warranty" on their transmissions. If you listen closely at the close of the commercial or do any research on your own you'll see that it actually is a "Limited Lifetime Warranty."

Now is it just me or does that completely nullify the whole lifetime thing? How can something practically infinite in nature be finite at the same time?!?

I don't get it

How is insanity a legitimate legal course of action. You know you're going to be supervised so act crazy and get off a little easier than if you were sane. Sounds like a plan to me, um no. That was my two cents for the judicial branch. Now how about the executive branch. There are no good choices for the next President, I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people just don't vote. Also while on that subject....how is it that the electoral college still decides the President, since we're in a democracy shouldn't the popular vote win every time? Makes sense to me.

I forgot what I was going to say...

But I did remember one major thing.

I was watching the Grammy's and of course Kanye West is there in his typical angry black person demeanor. What is up with that? What's he have to be mad about he makes more money than most singer/producers, ya I get it, his mother died, maybe he should have taken the first doctors advice when they told her not to go through with it. People with money always know better....at least they think so. So anyway he feels as though he deserves album of the year, which I would have agreed with on his last two albums, not so much this last one, just wasn't one of my favorites. So he gets up there and does a tribute song to his mother and miraculously the next song he wins an award. Now I know that these are decided ahead of time (or so we think) but it all just seemed very staged that he received the sympathy vote. That's not what really got me though, what did was the fact that everyone gets the same amount of time to thank whomever it is they feel needs credit. They always manage to go over their allotted time, but still it is kind of short. So Kanye feels as though because he is the Kanye West he deserves more time because....well its him of course. So he goes on and on and on and then to buy more time once the music comes on, he goes into his tribute to thanking his mother. Now common sense would have said to do this first and of course God, but he waited until the end....on purpose! You should have been dragged off the stage, just like EVERYONE ELSE. Sorry Kanye, I don't care what you think you may have done, it wasn't because you're black, so don't even go there with that one, you're not that special, you can barely sing, you're a good producer and a good rhyme maker....that's it. BTW the whole fashion statement...yeaaah not feeling it.

Tina Turner, although it is miraculous that she can still move at the age she's at is struggling to hit those high notes and needs to PLEASE wear something less tight.

Aretha Franklin....honey please lose some weight, that was a parachute, not a dress.

We all learned Fergie really can't sing without the studios assistance...hmm sounds like Britney. Speaking of which, did Britney Spears even sing on that last album or was it just me. Sounded as if she was talking and the producer was a miracle worker and pitched her voice all over the place. No matter though, she'll just lip sync it anyway if she gets out of rehab.

What is all the hype about Amy Winehouse? She sucks and looks disgusting, please people.

The Alicia Keys and John Mayer remix-esque version of her song was good, and yet I read reviews online which said this was one of the worst...were you listening? Unblock your ears.

I could keep going but I'll stop, but before I go. What happened to the Foo Fighters? They used to be so good, now they suck...that song along with their current CD as well as their last one sucked. Just thought you should know.

What is going on in the world?

The Patriots lose to the Giants after a perfect season? Mercury Morris still feels as though he can gloat about "his team"?

Natalee Holloway's killer confesses to knowing what happened to her and how she died in a videotape taken while he was smoking pot in a Land Rover with someone he trusted?

Britney Spears is placed under 2 more weeks of medical mental lockdown and her father may be placed in charge of all her finances?

WTF is happening people?

The Superbowl

Now I'm sure Bill will be getting some shit for running up the tunnel....who cares the game was over. Now a few things...

The NFL needs to get rid of Joe Buck because it doesn't matter who you are he will bad mouth you and then if/when you win he is your biggest fan, I hate to say it but I'd rather have John Madden than Joe Buck, he sucks that bad.

The NY Giants did not deserve to win with all the mistakes and lucky catches that were made. Eli Manning sucks at QB and life for that matter and how and/or why is it that Peyton finds his way into commercials, especially during the Superbowl, when he proved he sucked this season...hey Peyton remember you didn't make it...you're living through you brother this time. And when you two decide to stop blaming everyone else on your team or the field when there's an interception, fumble, or other bad play I might have some respect for you, but remember Peyton, Brady just crushed your records...take some notes from him on how to handle yourself on the field, dick.

Also had the officials actually called some things during the game we might have had a better game....remember the pass interference in the end zone...ya that was going on for most of the game. I swear when it comes to Boston sports the officials always look the other way when the games get tight. Well it didn't work this year in Baseball, but they had an integral role in this year Superbowl.

What I'm actually most pissed about is that Mercury Morris can now have something to say, well not really but I'm sure he'll find him some air time to defend why his Dolphins were so much better than the Patriots....Mercury hang it up...you suck, the Patriots are better deal with it. Stop talking trash, your washed up.

On the topic of Britney Spears

Of course I'm just like everyone and just listening to the news/blogs/internet updates of Britney's current condition. From what I'm seeing it all seems to make perfect sense. How would you feel if everyday your life was looked at under a microscope...I'm sure you would go a little crazy yourself if you couldn't even change rooms in your house without the Paparazzi up your ass and having it broadcasted in 15 different languages in 330 different countries. She obviously is listening to multiple sources and being fed inappropriate information, the same is true for her lifestyle where she's in the wrong crowd. This happens everyday to some select individuals who get in with the wrong crowd, make some bad decisions, and pay the consequences, she of course is different for two reasons. In the everyday example, people are not being looked at under a microscope and also don't have the money she has/had. (Believe me someway or another she's making plenty of money off of these multiple scandals. I'm sure she has a plethora of options for drug dealers, where she only gets the best, gets into the hottest night clubs and can take off and go anywhere on a whim. Conversely she also has the best opportunities to get the best help money can buy from doctors to facilities...of course if she wanted it, that in itself is the problem at hand. With listening to multiple sources, it would seem rational which would be the right choice, but of course rationality goes out the window for people spending upwards of $10,000 on a daily shopping spree.

Now with my college degree from a business school and having a pretty good idea of Economics, something just clicked for me. We're obviously at the point, or have been for some time, where Britney is a hazard to herself and those around her. She has Paparazzi tailing her at outrageous speeds, driving recklessly and of course causing her to do the same just to avoid them. (Sounds familiar....Princess Diana..hmm??) The economical driver in all of this is the price tag on the photos of Britney taking a piss in the street because she smashed from the night club she just peeled out of in her 615-hp Mercedes AMG. So lets just this people, why don't we get rid of the demand on the photos, the price tag drops on these photos as a result and the Paparazzi are out of work, at least with Britney that is. There are plenty of other celebrities out there that they can follow, of course Britney is the prime candidate right now for obvious reasons. I've even heard one Paparazzi quit his job (I'm sure after making a substantial amount all thanks to Britney) because he felt horrible knowing the tourture that she was being put through by constantly being followed by a caravan of photo/videographers. That would of course be logical from the Paparazzi standpoint but of course driven by greed they are vicious animals, sub-human even.

Why do I say all this, because she is a hairs width in distance from being killed, killing herself, or someone around her. Just wait, if this doesn't let up sometime very soon, she will be the next Princess Diana. A sad ending to an already sad story.
