The title says it all.
I haven't been ignoring my blog. I've just been playing Batman: Arkham City. I got a Best Buy gift card for Christmas, so I used it on that. Great game...for the most part. Here's the only thing I don't like about it. It's overly complicated in certain places. A remote control batarang? No reason for it. I'm not asking for a game to be a complete walk through but, don't make it Battletoads....which I still haven't beat and I'm still not over it.
Earlier today I went to K-Mart. I quickly realized that I was the only person in the building NOT wearing sweatpants. I've tweeted about this before. Do people not have any pride in themselves anymore? When did leaving the house and looking like a complete mess become okay? I'm not asking you to go out like you grandparents used to, rocking the suit and tie to pick up milk....but is it too hard to throw on a pair of jeans? Have some self respect people.
Also at K-Mart, as I was walking in a lady asked me if I wanted a free newspaper. I said no thanks. Instead of just saying have a nice day, she said and this is a quote, "but how will you get coupons?" My response was this, "Well, I could use my phone or I could do what I normally do and just print them off that internet thing." She muttered something under her breath that I'm sure wasn't very nice...but that's not the point. The point is this, if your only selling point is coupons....you're doomed. I understand there's a certain segment of the population that still enjoys the newspaper. That's fine. There are also people that still rely on the post office. The world is shifting more and more towards this internet thingy. I hear its catching on. It's time for the old standards to start thinking of different ways to stay relevant and I'm pretty sure coupons aren't the answer.
The wife and I went to our first Monsters Game on Saturday night. There were 17,000 people there. 17,000 people watching hockey in Cleveland. Awesome. Glad to see the city (finally) embracing the team and the sport, but when 17,000 people show up in one area, you're going to see something stupid. I'd like to talk to you about an epidemic that's sweeping the country....Ed Hardy. I'd like to point out that wearing Ed Hardy clothing does indeed make you look like a tool. How did this nonsense start? Jersey Shore. Apparently there's a segment of the population that looks at Snooki as a role model. (We are so screwed as a country.) The next time you go out and throw on the Ed Hardy cologne/perfume (which smells like a sewer plant by the way) and you put on your size too small t-shirt with an overly obnoxious dragon flame design. Remember, the rest of humanity is laughing at you. The cast of Jersey Shore are not role models....unless you catching herpes is a goal of yours.
Mitt Romney made 22 million bucks in 2010. Appears to be all legal. Why should he have to apologize for being successful? If he made is money legally, who cares? Isn't part of the "American Dream" to be successful? Now we can complain about the percentage of taxes he paid...but how is that his fault? He didn't write the tax code. The dopes in Washington did. I'm not for or against Mitt Romney. He's probably nice a guy, just like President Obama is probably a nice guy. Does the tax code need a fixin'? Yep. Will it get fixed? Probably not. In America, you should not have to apologize for being successful. Your goal should be to become successful. Remember, Survive and Thrive!
I wish I had a job update for you. I don't. I've had a few interviews. One of those interviews, I thought, went really well. I had hoped to be working for that station by now and who knows...they could call me tomorrow. I don't know. I'm not a psychic.
I'm out of random thoughts for now...for more randomness....follow me on the Twitter!
