No Touching

You know when you are at a function or work and people you don't know that well hug to say good bye? Its usually awkward and uncomfortable. Handshake are acceptable, a wave is even better, but please no kiss on the cheek or hug unless were close. I don't want to lean in there and play kiss on the cheek so please stop.

Politicin: Heath Bill

I thought everyone was supposed to be different and unique. Different skin, different talents, different lifestyles. Everyone should be treated equally though, right? Heads nod, yes. Well then explain to me why there is a nearly unanimous chorus to over tax the wealthy. In almost every major government program the rich are taxed unfairly. Cries come out, "they have enough money, make them pay for it." These are the same people where when you take them out to dinner they order the lobster and expect you to pay the bill. I say fuck you. Work you piece of shit. Life is not fair but you deal with it. Some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth, others scratch and claw to get by but you know what, you play the hand you were dealt.
This health care bill is an insult to the people that work for a living and do all the right things. They most likely are already insured. They don't need their taxes to rise in order to insure the unemployed or the woefully employed. If they want to help out they will, but do not force their hand. So, Obama I have tried to support you but consider this my official disapproval of your presidency. You continue to forget about people who make this country go and have forged a greater path for people to exploit America.

Best Christmas Movie Lines

Bad Santa- That chick from Gilmore Girls who is attractive enough to get you going when she is banging Billy Bob Thorton in the car and says "Fuck me Santa, Fuck me Santa"

Home Alone (Favorite Christmas Movie) - Buzz, your girlfriend...Woof.
"FULLER! Easy on the Pepsi!" Fuller looks at the camera, smiles, and raises his eyebrows as if to say, I am going to wet the bed tonight, and it's gonna be awesome.

"Tell you what. I'm gonna give you to the count of 10 to get your lying, yella', no-good keister off my property before I pump your guts full of lead."

It's a Wonderful Life- "No man is a failure who has friends"

Christmas Vacation-"hey Griswold! where the hell do you think your going to put that Christmas tree?"
"why don't you bend over and ill show ya"
"you cant talk to me like that"
"i wasn't talking to you, i was talking to her"

Clark: [Finally revealing his Christmas Bonus] It's a membership to the Jelly of the Month Club.
Eddie: [Overwhelmed, almost choking on his eggnog] Clark, that's the gift that keeps on giving throughout the entire year.

Bond Bonus: The World is Not Enough: I thought Christmas came only once a year

For the record the movie Elf sucks and is a movie I wanted to walk out on. It sucks. A Christmas story is very average and I am tempted to say it blows. The kid in the movie comes off a pussy with the narrator. It's eh.

Things I should probably do: Gold

The plan: Mine for Gold. Let's hitch a ride on the caravan and mine for Gold. Maybe we go out west, maybe we go to Ghana. I am not sure by there is Gold somewhere. Let's do like it's 1848 in Cali. With the U.S. dollar plummeting, Gold is rising. It has been steadily rising to over $1000 an ounce. I suggest a camp out to see parts of the world you would not ordinarily see, but remember to pack your rifle because you can't trust anyone.
Anyone want to try to get rich quick and have a life experience all at once?

When it's Never Good Enough

"I don’t know what possesses some people to constantly seek the rainbow’s end, even as they stand bestride their pot of gold." That little gem was found in this article. http://news.cincinnati.com/article/20091210/COL03/312100086/1007/SPT/Doc++Lousy+last+chapter+for+Kelly++UC

And while it releates to Brian Kelly, I am going to spin it.



You see I can relate to this comment. I am someone who is rarely satisfied. This is both a positive and negative thing. My inability to relax and bask in glory forces me to push forward. I seek bigger and better things always. I am fresh out of college and have a job, yet that job is not good enough. The pay is good but it could be better, the hours are reasonable, but my commute is often rough. Girls I meet are seemingly filled with flaws. I am climbing the ladder but I am not sure where the top is and how high I have to climb.

I am sure some people can relate to this inability to relax and bask in the glory. We always want more than what we have but it's not greed. It's not manifest destiny. We are willing to put in the work to earn it and it's because of this we will succeed even when we "fail" because for us it's never quite good enough. So you see even though we struggle within, we are better off for it.

Christmas List

In the alternate universe called extremely wealthy I present my Christmas wish list.

A League One side from England (Two promotions from Premiership) to own and build into a Premiership Side. The team would have a strong and loyal fan base dying to play in the top flight. The Stadium would hold around 30,000 fans. Leeds United comes to mind. Owning a soccer team in England would be tits.

Cost: $8-10 million very roughly up front. Much investing would have to be done further down the line. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leeds_United_A.F.C.

De Lorean DMC-12- Remember Back to the Future. This is the car. Yes I would drive that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeLorean_DMC-12

Cost: 20-30K for used car. They have been making updated versions of these and are charging 60-70 K.

Apartment in Old City Philadelphia, Vegas. - It has to be a baller place to crash on any given night.
Cost: $1 million

My Own Cable Station to Compete with Comcast- They are the devil, they don't care a lick about their customers, they have a monopoly. I would love to a least dent them locally by providing customers with access to any channel they desire even if it cost them extra.

Cost: Infinite amount. Hopefully something dooms this company one day.

In Which We are Worlds Apart

It is my belief through experience that girls are determined to get married and preferably sooner rather than later. Guys play defense and would prefer to get married later if at all. Shocking stuff I know, but dammit my title rules, so read on.

Girls want a beautiful wedding and a dress that is so stunning that everyone in the room's jaw drops. She wants her friends to be jealous of her husband. She wants to start a family and raise kids. STOP.

Guy: Whoa! we just met.

Girl: So it's ok to just sleep with me but it's not ok for me to think about us long term

Guys want to play the field a little bit. Once he gets a taste of some action he wants more. Don't try to hold em back from having his fun, it will only end up hurting you in the end.
Women have in engraved in them since they were young about getting married and having a family. Maybe you can blame society, maybe you can't. One thing however is pretty common and ends up bringing things together more than pushing them apart. Kids. Generally, both sides want them at some point even if the guys aren't crazy about marriage.

5 for Championship Weekend

22-22-1 on the season

Thursday
Oregon State @ Oregon(-10) 9 PM ESPN. Your guess is as good as mine as far as the line. Me thinks lots of points will increase the chances of covering.

Saturday
Cincinatti (-1) @ Pitt Noon ABC. This should be a good one with the Big East title on the line.

Florida vs Alabama (+5) 4 PM CBS in Atlanta. The play in game that has been hyped for some time but nothing like the 2006 1 vs.2 matchup. I think Bama at least covers in a dog fight.

Nebraska(+14) vs Texas 8PM ABC New Cowboys Stadium. I have been riding Nebraska's defense when determining where to lay the points.

Georiga Tech(-1) vs. Clemson 8PM ESPN in an empty stadium in Tampa.

They Travel in Packs too

Guys spend most days wondering how am I going to get laid. Most girls think about a new boyfriend. Friday night rolls around and you know what you are looking for. When you hit the bar/club you need a stable and attractive group of friends with you. You know how their always seems to that hot sorority or the the group of hot girls at the bar/club. They are not magically friends, they know what they are doing. They are stacking the deck to attract the opposite sex. Few people will go out and bring Becky the 250 lb linebacker for the Eagles with them because it decreases their chances of attracting the opposite sex. Sure Becky is a great person, but shes not help to you at last call.

Guys are a little slower to realize this fact, but they know when they require dudes that do work. You can't bring your friends that lack experience into a big spot because it ruins everyones chance.
