Professional Sports are Bad for America

Pro sports are the most over rated phenomenon ever.

 I’m only impressed by how much dumb people are willing to pay these "professional athletes".

Ok, You can throw a ball well and you run fast.
So? 
What does that really say about you other than how rich you are?

“Hi. I’m Ashley. I’m a huge Lakers’ fan. They’re my life, their national rank affects me deeply.” 

Dear Ashley,

No it doesn't.

I hate it when people make it a point to say their favorite team, like  it matters. Why would I care about that?  One rich guy payed another to cultivate a team of random dudes, who we officially to as "athletes". So what?

“The Red Sox won, they're "my team", so, I'm special, I'm obligated to brag for at least a week.”

No, it's meaningless to everything else existing in reality. When your favorite team wins, you aren't winner by association.

Pro teams offer no benefits to the rest of society. They're a waste of time and they do us a disservice by creating an acceptable excuse for sitting on the couch and eating chips every Sunday.

The Most Annoying Fashion Mistakes

Have you seen someone wearing something stupid that made you mad? I have. I decided to make a list of the worst.

I’m writing this with the idea that all of my peers have the same fashion goals as me. Of course, that’s impossible. So,  if my goals don’t resemble yours, this doesn't apply to you. You keep rocking that Elmo t-shirt and your animal-print bracelet earrings. You go girl!

1) Don't Dress Like You're 10:

-Being a kid was great! Childhood was a magical time of Aeropostale hoodies, gelly shoes, hearts, stars, and rainbows. Neon was awesome! Then you grew up. You’re not 10 anymore.

Don't buy graphic t’s with colorful geometric designs, "funny" sayings, kittens, or cartoon characters. There are better ways of showing your uniqueness and your personality without looking like you never evolved past age 8. Animal themed clothing, glitter, and toe socks should be deep in the past by the time you’re old enough to vote. 
 

The next time I see a girl in a neon giraffe t-shirt, with stars on her belt, silly bands, or pink glitter eye shadow holding a drink, I’m going to take it away. She’s obviously not capable of dressing herself, so there’s no way she’s mature enough to handle the effects of intoxication. Amiee to the rescue.

2) Holiday Atire=Holidays Only:

-Some folks live in a world where it’s Halloween everyday. They think it’s cool to wear skulls, dye their hair pink, throw on a little school girl skirt with a mesh top, and just live life. While I respect their right to do  that, it’s annoying. You look like you got dressed in the dark.

Christmas sweaters are cute, on Christmas day, in front of the damn tree while Grandma takes a picture. That’s the only time. Christmas parties have their own rules. December 25^th is the only day of the year it’s ok to impersonate Santa or walk around dressed like a candy cane. No exceptions.

Easter is on a Sunday in April. Other than that day, if you wear a white cotton dress with random floral-ness that goes past your knees, you’re gonna piss me off. It’s not ok to substitute your Easter dress as an outfit for Broadway unless they’re throwing a surprise egg hunt only you know about. If you wear an Easter dress to Broadway, I will expect you to let me help you find the secret eggs. (I love egg hunts!)

3)Pants Make (or Break) an Outfit:

-“Just because it zips, doesn’t mean it fits.”-Joan Rivers. Just because you can (miraculously) button those size 4  jeans, doesn’t mean you’re still a size 4. It’s not ok to walk around with your spare tire always chillin’ right there for us to see. It’s awkward. I have no room to talk about muffin top, and I’m no size 4, but I look normal because I buy pants the size I am NOW. You should too. (Please!)

Contrary to popular belief, tights are not pants. They kinda resemble pants, so I understand the confusion, but please, (stay with me here) they aren’t the same. Tights were designed to go underneath something. When worn alone, they’re not flattering, unless your body is perfect, which it’s not. Do us all a favor, save us from the camel toe, and put on real pants designed to be pants.

Low rise jeans are evil. But you can be proactive with this dilemma. Think ahead. If you’re wearing low rise jeans, a high rise shirt, and normal rise undies, what’s gonna happen? Do the math. You’re going to be showing your ass when you sit down. Get a long undershirt to cover your crack and stop shopping at Hollister. Buy some normal jeans that don’t quit doing their job after you sit down.

4) Only Dress Like a Hoe to Make Money:

-If you have kids to feed, your rent is late, you’re illiterate, and cool with breaking a few little laws, then by all means strap on those clear gold fish heals and that little sequin dress. Shake what you’re Momma gave ya and make that money! I can totally respect that. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.                                             

However, if you don’t pay rent, you don’t have kids, or you can read, then the outfit described above is not acceptable. Also, no one can walk in those mile high heals without ending the night with them in her hand or waddling home like a duck, in terrible pain the whole way. It’s not worth it. Save yourself the grief and wear shoes you can walk in. You’ll be glad you did.     
            

Some women have amazing bodies. Big boobs, cute ass and a perfect stomach. That’s great. But, just because you’re body looks great, doesn’t mean that everyone in public wants to see it. Just because you can wear 1/3^rd of a shirt with a mini-mini skirt and look great, doesn’t mean you should.  Have some class, leave a little room to the imagination.

5)Pick Jewelry That Works For You, Not Against You:

-Jewelry can be your best friend or your worst enemy. The right necklace makes a good outfit spectacular. The wrong necklace makes you look like an idiot. Don't wear a gaudy necklace that spells out your name, has a fairy sword on it, or looks like you got it out of a candy machine. Butterflies, penguins, and unicorns are not acceptable accessories outside of 3^rd grade.                    

Hoop earrings piss me off. They’re cumbersome, dangers, and ugly. If it’s big enough to fit around your wrist, then by no means should you attach it to your ear! You look like the gypsy hooker from the original version of Aladdin!Why!?!?!?!?!      
                                                            

1 or 2 bracelets are always a great option for sprucing up an out fit. 10 or 15 bracelets and you look like you just robbed the jewelry stand at the flea market. Be a man, pick just one, and put the rest back in the jewelry box. Thank you.

6) Only Dress Like a Teacher if You Teach:
 

-Your early 20’s aren’t the time for turtle necks, bows, blazers, capris, or knit sets. Evern if you’re a parent, you don’t have to dress like you’re 45. That all comes with time, like 20 years. Now is the time for colors and experiments.

Grandmas wear beige. Beige is boring. Avoid it at all costs. Brown isn’t much better when worn by itself with no accent color. No one looks good in beige. Except for teachers, who love it for some reason. If you share a fashion philosophy with your grandmother and you’re 25, seek help immediately, before it’s too late. 

Forget capri pants. Be decisive. Pant’s or shorts? Get off the fence and take a stand. You owe to yourself and to all Americans who are tired of seeing women galavanting around in half pants they like to call capris. There’s a fine line between sophisticated and frumpy, so watch your self.

7) When Making Bad Decisions, Avoid Permanent Ones:
 

-Your love for dolphins might fade, but that tattoo above your ass crack you got as a  17 year old aspiring Sea World trainer won’t. Passions can change, but Flipper is permanent. Tattooing is a beautiful ancient art form. However, like most things, it's often abused. Tattoos are great, unless they’re dumb tattoos. Do you really need the plot points of a Disney movie permanently etched below your armpit? And come on people, no one is really THAT into butterflies. Think before you ink.

Your face is the most unique and beautiful thing about you. Do you really think that sticking a metal bar through any part of it is actually going to make you look better? And why would you pay money and go through pain like that for something that isn’t going to make you better and will cause problems later. Maybe if your face is hideous and you’re trying to distract attention from the scariest parts, other than that, no. 

The last thing I’m going to say about this topic is that I’d really like to meet someone who got a lower back tattoo (more commonly referred to as a “tramp stamp”) and doesn’t regret it and/or wish they’d gotten it some where else. I’ve never met anyone who fits that description. Enough said.

8) Animal Print Isn't Worth the Risk:

-For a lot of people every day is a safari. Animal print has its very own niche in the fashion jungle. Love it or hate it, it’s a staple and it’s here to stay. So, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em. Just make sure you do it the right way so you don’t end up looking like a New Jersey housewife circa 1982.

When dealing with animal print, ask yourself one question, “how much am I willing to have in common with Snookie from the Jersey Shore?” then go from there. You don’t want to end up looking fierce, not funny. Be a minimalist, pair the print with a neutral, and never get carried away.

Don’t walk around looking like today’s version of Cruella Deville. Please. Oh, and adding colors like hot pink and lime green only make a bad idea worse. The only thing worse than walking around looking like a zebra, is waking around looking like a diseased zebra. Take the risk if you must, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.

How NOT to Use a Dating Site: My Top 10 Tips for Beginners (and Slow Learners)

I’ve been a member of an online dating site since January, so, obviously, I fancy myself an expert on how to successfully conduct yourself in the online dating platform.

Below are a few tips that I have written for men and women on how to not come off looking like a pathetic ass hole or a desperate hooker to the people by whom you’d like to be considered adequate enough for potential dating.

Based on my personal first hand experiences, I have a list of my Top 5 Tips for Guys and my Top 5 Tips for Girls. Here it goes:

Tips For Dudes:

1) Never Mention Any "Private" Part of Human Anatomy:

-Do not tell me that I have nice boobs or how big you think your penis is. If it's covered by a bathing suite, don't bring it up. This is not adult-friend-finder, and I am not cattle waiting to be graded. If you are trying to get laid by a stranger, then you must be confused as to where you are and plentyoffish.com is not the site for you. No exceptions. You will be blocked.


2) Don’t Post a Cell Phone Mirror Self Portrait:

-Okay, your arms have a little muscle tone. We get it. However, you look like a friendless prick who has no one willing to photograph him let alone enough social skills to actually have decent pictures of himself taken in public, by other people. This rule especially applies to photos taken in dirty mirrors by people in scary environments.


3) Don’t Flaunt Your Financial Status or Belongings:

-It’s not acceptable to post pictures of something you own that you want to use to make people think you’re wealthy or super cool. Your Honda motorcycle or your 1992 BMW isn’t going to increase your chances of getting a date with any respectable human being, so don’t waste your time (or ours) uploading the photos. People with a lot of money are too busy making it or spending it to waste time trying to make people think they're rich.

4) Don’t Ask For Personal Information Initially:

-Do not ask for my number or what my plans for the evening are in the first few messages. It's none of your business and you will be ignored. Just because I have an online dating profile doesn’t mean I want to communicate with a bunch of strangers on the phone or that I’m desperately in need of people to hangout with. After time has passed, enough common interests have been expressed, and a friendly rapport has been established, THEN it’s Ok to ask for a date or my number.

5) Never Use Pet-Names With Someone You Haven't Met:

-Pet names are for people with whom you have a close personal relationship, or small animals and children. If you call me sugar, hunny, sweetie or anything along those lines in a message before I’ve even met you, we’re going to have a problem. I’m not a child or a puppy. Pet names are insulting. We aren’t at that level, so don’t pretend like we are. It's incredibly annoying.

Tips For the Ladies:

1)Half Naked Pictures Don't Get You Taken Seriously:

-People respect you at the same level that you respect yourself. If you post half naked, pouty lipped, X rated pics, then the buck stops there. You've deemed yourself a sexual object. You'll no longer be getting messages from sincere guys who’d like to get to know you, instead, you’ll be getting messages from horny guys that have some free time. Both possibilities usually exist simultaneously in most guys. It’s up to you which side they show, based on what side you choose to show of yourself.

2) Don’t Expect Success If You Message Him First:

-The same rule applies online as in the real world. A classy lady never chases or throws herself at a guy. No matter how hot or cool you think he is, it’s never a good idea for you to make the first move. As annoying and unfair as it is, men like to be the chaser.It's just how they evolved. Men enjoy the hunt. If you message him first, you take away all the fun of the chase and probably any chance of a lasting successful relationship, which doesn't mean that he isn't gong to try to sleep with you first, because he definitely will. You'll probably be considered an easy target.

3) Don’t Put Misleading Pictures on Your Profile:

-The old "bait and switch" trick never works. He's gonna notice. Don’t put pictures of yourself 4 years and 75 pounds ago on your profile and then be surprised when no one ever calls you after a first date. As shallow and unfair as it may be, posting inaccurate pictures of yourself is lying, and no one likes being lied to. Save yourself and him time and disappointment by posting pictures of yourself that show your beauty how it is today, not how it used to be.

4) Keep Your Broken Heart Sob Stories to Yourself:

-Everyone has their own baggage, no one needs yours. During the first stages of communication with a potential date, (i.e. on your profile),you should put your best foot forward. This is not the time or place to show how jaded you are or how mistreated you’ve been in the past. Don’t represent yourself as damaged goods, no one wants to deal with that. Bitter isn't a good look on anyone.

5) Don’t Say You Want a Man Who Isn’t After “One Thing”:

-Saying that you want to meet a man who wont try to sleep with you is stupid for a few reasons. First, any man you meet, especially in the dating world, probably wants to have sex with you. The only exception to this is if he’s gay or family. So, stop dreaming and realize that just because a man wants to sleep with you as soon as possible doesn’t mean you have to let him, and it doesn’t make him a bad guy. It’s not their fault. It’s in their DNA. So, just keep your legs closed until you're in an honest relationship. Problem solved. If all he wants is sex, and you don't give it to him right away, then he'll give up quickly and move on. They weed themselves out like that. It's magical.


I hope you've found these tips helpful. If you have broken any of these rules (or failed to use spell-check before clicking "save" or "send"), do yourself (and all the other single people experimenting with online dating) a huge favor and take all necessary corrective action immediately.

Thanks for taking the time to read this post. Feel free to get in contact with me with any questions, comments, or complaints that you may have about all of the stuff in this blog entry. And, like always, you’re welcome in advance.

Ten Rules for Being Human

Ten Rules for Being Human






by Cherie Carter-Scott



1. You will receive a body. You may like it or hate it, but it's yours to keep for the entire period.

2. You will learn lessons. You are enrolled in a full-time informal school called, "life."

3. There are no mistakes, only lessons. Growth is a process of trial, error, and experimentation. The "failed" experiments are as much a part of the process as the experiments that ultimately "work."

4. Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson.

5. Learning lessons does not end. There's no part of life that doesn't contain its lessons. If you're alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.

6. "There" is no better a place than "here." When your "there" has become a "here", you will simply obtain another "there" that will again look better than "here."

7. Other people are merely mirrors of you. You cannot love or hate something about another person unless it reflects to you something you love or hate about yourself.

8. What you make of your life is up to you. You have all the tools and resources you need. What you do with them is up to you. The choice is yours.

9. Your answers lie within you. The answers to life's questions lie within you. All you need to do is look, listen, and trust.

10. You will forget all this.

Quotes From The Best Book Ever Written

So, 2nd only to maybe the Bible, many would agree that this is the best book ever written. Stephen Covey, guru to business, has a lot to say to us regular humans, too. He teaches us to break patterns of self-defeating behavior and to replace old patterns with a principle-centered approach to problem-solving. He also teaches us to get our lives in balance, putting wellness, family and relationships, and personal growth just as high on our list of priorities as urgent business concerns. I think that these things are the secret to intrinsic happiness.

Here are some quotes from my favorite book by him. Reading this book (The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People) literally changed my life. This man is a genius.

Stephen R. Covey Quotes:


-“While we are free to choose our actions, we are not free to choose the consequences of our actions.”

-“Between stimulus and response is our greatest power - the freedom to choose”

-“Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character.”

-“Happiness can be defined, in part at least, as the fruit of the desire and ability to sacrifice what we want now for what we want eventually”

-"Accountability breeds response-ability. The ability to choose your own response."

-"One of the most important ways to manifest integrity is to be loyal to those who are not present. In doing so, we build the trust of those who are present."

-"Leadership is communicating to people their worth and potential so clearly that they come to see it in themselves."

-"Between stimulus and response is our greatest power - the freedom to choose"

-"Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out."

(And I saved the best for last...)

-"People with a scarcity mentality tend to see everything in terms of win-lose. There is only so much; and if someone else has it, that means there will be less for me. The more principle-centered we become, the more we develop an abundance mentality, the more we are genuinely happy for the successes, well-being, achievements, recognition, and good fortune of other people. We believe their success adds to... rather than detracts from... our lives."

My World View and Other Stuff I Want You to Know

     This entry is going to be very introspective, but still pretty random like usual. Today I was reading about self-deception and real intimacy. Then, I came across this quote that was said to answer the question of what Atheists believe in if they don’t believe in God or a higher power:

"With what do I maintain a conscious contact, and from where do I seek comfort? Today I find comfort in knowing that I am living a healthy, good, clean life and that I am not harming others or myself. I can maintain a conscious contact by holding love close to my heart. I seek to do the right thing for the RIGHT reason.”

    Then I started thinking about what I think is right and what I do believe in. Here's some random musings that I came up with. So, in no particular order:


-I don’t believe in giving someone a gift that they don’t deserve. It takes away from the value of the gift, thus wasting it.

-I have an Autistic twin brother named Michael who I respect and admire. His outlook on life and his own personal future could inspire many. He’s on the “high-functioning” end of the Autistic Spectrum. I think that is the hardest type of disorder to have because he realizes that he’s different and he always will be, yet he doesn’t let that stop him from having dreams and knowing what he is good at.

-I don't believe in girls making the first move, at all. I think that it would be nice if it didn’t matter who initiated contact between a man and a woman, but evolution says that just can’t be so.

-After trying to figure out what I want right now in my life, I FINALLY came to the conclusion recently that I don't know yet what I'm looking for. I probably won't know exactly what I want until I actually find it. Until then, everyday is a lesson and everyday I come closer to finding out what's best for me.

-I'm very opinionated but open-mindedness is something I strive for. If you don’t have respect for the opinions of other people, then you don’t have respect for others and you don’t deserve respect yourself. There's usually more than one right way and we can't learn from each other unless we're willing to listen.

-I find myself being most attracted to nerdy-ish smart guys who I feel that I can learn something from, as long as I feel that they respect my intelligence as well and they aren't too ego-centered, which is different than having a high self-esteem. I don't think there's anything wrong with having a high self-esteem as long as you don't also have a superiority complex and/or a sense of entitlement.

-I think I'm really smart, and I feel very fortunate because of that. That doesn't mean I'm smarter than anyone else, it just means that I really appreciate my own unique type of intelligence. I don't think that intelligence is as quantifiable as many people believe it is.

-I look for the best in people and there isn't anyone I dislike, everyone has a story worth hearing. This outlook makes life and relationships tons easier in every way.

-I believe that optimism is a choice not a condition, and it's usually the best one. You attract more bees with honey. :)

-It's never Ok to yell at someone unless their life is in danger. Mature people with self-controll never have to yell to make a point.

-I'm not better than you, and you're not better than me.  You can't quantify the worth of a person, no matter how much you think you can and no matter how much better it makes you feel about yourself. We're all just un-perfect humans with the same cells and the same organs trying to survive in the best way that we know how.

-No one is "stupid", there are just different types of intelligence. You may not know how to read, but I’m sure that there are things in life you’ve mastered that I may never be able to fully understand. We're all smart in different ways, and we rely on eachother based on our individual strong suites.

-Selfish people who are incapable of true empathy are the only people that I think warrant pity.

-I don’t believe in excuses. It’s human nature to try to use them, but every time you do you’re doing yourself a disservice. If you do something wrong and you blame it on something/someone besides yourself, you’re taking away your power to fix it and you're missing an opportunity to better yourself.

-I think that the older you get the more you realize how dumb it is to lie. Atleast that's been my experience. Now, I try to go out of my way to tell the truth all of the time. I’m not saying that I never lie, but I believe in the power of telling the truth. People are smart and they usually know when they’re being lied to. Respect them and respect yourself by telling the truth. No one expects you to be perfect all of the time. The truth really does set you free, as corny and cliche as that statement may be.

-“Pain will occur, but suffering is a choice.” This is true, but a lot of people sell themselves short when it comes  their belief in their ability to controll their emotions and rationally think before they act. Being able to think and not act exclusively on our emotions is one of the things that separates humans from animals. That's why I speak out against violence, because as humans we're suposed to have evolved past that.

-No matter how bad things seem today, it could always be a lot worse. No matter how bad things are going, it’s probably going to get better, and it’s probably going to get better soon. When times get tough, force yourself to look at the bigger picture and find something to be happy about.

-I believe in the power of positive thinking. When I’m at work and my boss is pushing my buttons and making me angry, I consciously control my thoughts and I don’t allow myself to get mad or take anything personally. I remind myself that she’s very stressed out incapable of separating her emotions from her actions. Negative thoughts about her will only be toxic to my prosperity in the long run, no matter how warranted they may be.

- Don't say bad things about people when they're aren't there. It's cowardly, they're going to find out, and everyone within ear-shot will lose trust and respect for you. Bite your tongue when you want to say something bad about someone, especially at work.

-Today I learned that “Addiction is a journey away from the truth and into emotional blindness.”, “Dependency of any kind unavoidably destroys relationships and inhibits them from being healthy."

-“We notice intimacy, we don’t produce it. Love is not a happening, it is a process.”

-“There is no recovery without transformation, there is no transformation without recovery.”

Ramblings...

(Warning: I think I'm funny)

This post is more of a rant than anything else. Here are 4 of the things that have been on my mind lately that I feel like I need to share

1) Sonic for SEGA Genesis is my favorite game, ever. I just bought it in the App. Store. I LOVE Apple! However, and take this as you may, the new iPad is just a giant iPod Touch you can buy a data plan for from Apple’s bed mate AT&T. Steve Jobs is pretending like it’s “revolutionary”. You aren’t fooling me, Steve.

2) Secondly for today, I finally got a new case for my glasses. I got to campus today and went to put them on when I realized that I’d forgotten to actually put the glasses in the case. They’re glasses, they should automatically know where they belong and just put themselves there. I was so disappointed when I realized that they had not done so.

3) I just heard a girl in the hall say “Obama didn’t say don’t curse, he said don’t curse others.” She said it like it was one of the Ten Commandments or something. I don’t know about you, but I’m totally cool with Obama being the new Jesus. Doesn’t bother me one bit. (I’m just kidding, kinda.)

4) Quick question, why are men obsessed with having huge TVs? I think that it’s obvious that this is just another way for them to compensate for lack of size in “other places”. Just an observation. (Maybe this will get them to stop making fun of my sad excuse for a TV every time they come into my apartment. ☺)

I think I'm ready for 2010...

First let me start of by saying WOW, people actually read this. Thank you so much. I’m definitely going to keep it up but I do have some audience questions that I’d like to ask. Here’s an example, is it boring when I ramble about my life problems or would you rather hear original stuff that spews out my head? OR do you like it when I just repost stuff and keep my mouth shut? I’m just naturally a talker so I may need to be told to keep my mouth shut from time to time. I won’t be offended. I’m the queen of not taking things personally.


So I sit here in my messy bed still wearing my purple ducky pajamas at 5pm, and I’m in the mood to write. It takes a lot for me to suppress the urge to turn my blog in to my online journal and fill it with funny stories about people and plans, but I can’t do that. I don’t even like to do that in my actual tangible journal, at least not anymore. I hate looking back at my old journals and seeing nothing but “Oh my goodness, what did he mean when he said that?”, “Do I like him? Should I like him?”

The funny thing is that when I read that stuff now I don’t even remember who the heck I was talking about. However, I do have to discuss my love life, as much as I don’t want to. The stuff I’m learning now about relationships is actually important, I think. Me and my peers are at the point in our lives where love relationships and the lessons they bring with them are actually important because, according to my parents and TV shows, this is when we’re supposed to be finding it.

HOWEVER…

Here are some topics that I REALLY want to write about uber soon, maybe today:

1) Anxiety, what causes it and why is it bad for you? (I’m full of opinions on this)

2) Adderoll (Trust me, my friends will tell you, I’m a expert. lol)

3) Dopamine and how it effects every single thing you say, think, and do, and why you should be careful because it’s important, and how drugs and alcohol and affect your entire personality for the long run.

4) Last but not least, He’s Just Not That in to You. Here’s why, and here’s what you can do about it. (You are not going to like this one.)

Ha, after I wrote that intro (about 2 minutes ago) I got bored with the subject of love, so I’ll hold off on that subject. I’m going to talk for a second about New Year’s Resolutions. What is mine? Do I have one? Do I care? Ehh, not really, but for the sake of argument, lets pretend like I do. The first one I made this year involves keeping a certain ex-patriot ex-boyfriend off of my friends list. (ha I guess I mixed the two subjects, go me!) Now that I wrote it out for people to see I’ll feel more obligated to keep that promise. We’ll see. More to come.

As I read back on this entry it seems like it ended up being more of an intro to something rather that anything with actual substance on its own. But ya know what, that’s what it is. They will be similar to this, unless I get feedback that points me in a better direction. I will continue to post random ass blog posts in 2010 and hopefully you guys will continue reading them. Thanks again!
