Daily Dose of BS April 17 Heroes

They do walk among us, the unsung heroes who in the face of danger run towards the issue rather than away.  We saw this in full force on Monday as the cowards who caused the bombing at the Boston Marathon, the 3 deaths, the dozens of injured, the millions of Americans who are now questioning their own safety.  Think about how lucky we are to be among the everyday heroes who looked past the danger and saw people in need and took action.  I am not sure how I would react in such a situation, I would like to think that I would be a helper but I hope and pray that we never have to find out.  For those of you heroes both professional and situational, that are out there, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Daily Dose of BS April 16 Boston

Bastards whomever is in charge of the cowardly bombing in Boston here is some words for you, make a fist with both your right and left hands now start punching yourself in the face.  What were you thinking?  Why would you do such a horrible act on innocent bystanders?  The sidewalks were paved with the blood of innocence.  The photos of the runners being pushed away in wheelchairs with exposed bone churned my guts.  Domestic terrorism there is a special place in hell for those responsible.   

Daily Dose of BS April 11 Vegas

I know some of my faults I don’t think that anyone knows all of them.  I am going to be conquering some of them this weekend.  I am not good by myself, I thrive on people and like to be around people, that I know.  I will be taking a trip with a friend of mine this weekend to one of the cities that never sleeps.  I always assumed that were I was going was the city but a quick google search showed me that New York is the first preferred.  I am going to Vegas with a buddy that is meeting up with his siblings for get together.  The weird part for me is that another couple of people were going to go and they ended up not being able to go, so I will be exploring the city mostly by myself.  Any tips on doing Las Vegas?  Another thing I am going to have a hard time with is the “What Happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas” mantra, cause I like to talk.  

Daily Dose of BS April 10 daydreaming

Ok I am guilty of it, and it is shown to be worse than texting and driving.  New research show that it’s five times to do while driving than texting or talking on your phone.  And I bet that you do it every day either at work or while driving, in your free time it is something that each and every kid does and most adults.  They say that 62% of distracted driving accidents and are caused by it while 12% of distracted driving accidents are caused by texting.  The big distraction, is something you would never even think about being a problem.  The distraction is day dreaming.  

Daily Dose of BS April 9 insurance companies

I hate insurance companies….they think they rule the world.  Oh yea they do.  If the insurance company says to jump you work hard to try to jump however high they want you to jump.  If they say to stop eating green m&m’s by gosh and by golly you are going to quit eating those green m&m’s except for an occasional handful on the 3^rd Saturday of the month when you’re out with your buddies.  They tell you that you need to exercise you get the membership at the gym, just so you know just getting the membership isn’t good enough you should go to the gym.   Insurance companies rule the world in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if what I am about to write next won't be edited by some insurance company, the secret to  

Daily Dose of BS April 8 words

People judge you by the words you use.  There is no avoiding it, but there is changing it.  I was out for a birthday party on Friday and found out that a couple of my friends hate a few words from the English language.  I would have thought that these words were going to be reminiscent of the old George Carlin routine you know the seven words you can't say on TV, but no the words that they had issue with included one that is a marketing tool for Betty Crocker the word moist which incidentally is one of the least favorite words out there, and the other word these friends of mine had an issue with was the word panties, and they weren’t even brought up together.  I wonder if they were compounded if they would have more of a revolting reaction?  This conversation made me think, I know that is a chore in its self and I really do not think that there are any words that conger up the feelings of disgust that these friends of mine felt by hearing the words mentioned above, I don’t care for slang words for any groups of people, I am not a fan of labels that people place on people but they are words, and I always remember my mom telling me that sticks and stones can break my bones but words can never hurt me.  What words do you dislike?  

Daily Dose of BS April 5 monopoly

It is weird for me to think that a company that once ruled the computer world is being forecast to be obsolete by 2017.  The reason that the report says that Microsoft will be obsolete by then started when governments from around the world complained that it was too big a monopoly about a half decade ago, now there are a few open source internet browsers such as Firefox and my favorite Google Chrome they are better and faster and free. As a result, millions of computer users changed software and started to change their computer habits. The latest computers don't need to run the new Windows operating system. Today, most people are satisfied with their current version of windows, I have 7 on my machines and have no desire or need to upgrade.  I don’t understand how a business that was once at the top of its game was broken up by the government and then allowed another company to come in and start their monopoly.  Oh wait this happens all too often.  Do you think that we need to bust the monopolies or accept them for what they are?
