Money

I want more money. I vow that if I got the 100K a year salary I am gunning for a majority of my problems will disappear, angels will descend from the heavens and the peasants will rejoice. I would definitely make a lot of lives better and I would be happier knowing my retirement would mostly be secure.

I would take thousands of dollars and put them in fail safe snail investments (slow, safe accrual). Then I would take some of it to gamble with aggressively, that if I lost this money would not hurt me.

After building my financial empire, I would finance projects of my passions that would not only make me happy, but would benefit others. I would like to reach out to the community and help educate our children so they can grow up to make better informed decisions in life and work.

Most of all, I would like to get involved politically, not to run in office, but to fix the wrongs of the corrupt from the side lines.

Water Waste

I wish there were a way for us all to not use water for our secreted bodily waste. Not taking a shower, but to be more precise, taking a big ol' hearty dump in what really could be drinking grade water instead. Makes me sad we have to do it this way. I wish we could use ocean water instead since there is so goddamn much of it.

This would help conserve water, but I know the environmental impact of salt on stuff is bad though. Just wishful thinking I suppose.

I would like to focus on building a machine that could easily convert salt ocean water to clean drinking water.

Browsers

Here is my line up of favorite browsers:

Opera

I don't like any other browsers really, but I do want to point out that Firefox follows W3C HTML/CSS/JavaScript standards very well. They utilize the standards properly and when I use CSS with it, it responds appropriately.

Opera has weird issues with some pages and MS stuff specifically. Like i can't trust it to work with certain wizards online, like check outs and stuff.

IE however is the worst browser when it comes to rendering HTML etc. ... following W3C standards in general. It fails miserably.

Safari, however is the worst browser I have ever seen in my entire life. It breaks shit on a page because it is just goddamn stupid I suppose. My test for this is:

Did it work for IE and FF? If yes, then Safari is broken.

Fuck Apple.

AJAX Woes

I love different web technologies, but goddamn it some of these technologies are just horrid to work with. AJAX being one of them. Now before you jump all over me, just shaddup and listen. I don't like how Ajax is being presented as a "non full" or "partial" post back. It is indeed partial in the sense that the whole front end page is not torn down, but the back end executes completely. This is very annoying if you have an overly complex page.

It isn't nice or fair either that there are controls that act all stupid when used with AJAX, such as a RadioButtonList control. The goddamn thing does what it wants! Of course when I tell you the second part it is clearer, I have the list inside of an item template inside of a gridview. So that makes it all kinds of unhappy.

Status

I'm not okay and I am beginning to understand and realize that. I have some really crappy issues with depression, but the root causes of my depression stem from bad experiences with other people that I can't let go of because I didn't handle them the right way. Then I get depressed about being depressed. I am chronically depressed because I can't find a way to get over my problems, small or big.

My number one problem is dealing with people on a day to day basis and trying to not get hurt emotionally. People say or do mean things to me and I let it count for too much because I feel attacked or threatened and I don't know how to defend myself because I am too shocked that they said or did what they did to begin with.

That being said I think I need to see a Therapist because I need help. I can't overcome or deal with all of the meaningless frustrations in my life.

Conflict

I am thinking about quitting my job and moving on because I hate my boss. He is a manipulative asshole who tries to play psychologist with everyone and fails. If you do not meet his personalized shitty criteria then you are shit in his eyes.

I have never met a person who can't seem to grasp the gravity or severity of a problem. Or even the intensity of an issue. He is just a giant road block.

So now it is the waiting game, I will wait out whether I am moving on or whether he gets fired and replaced. I have this feeling that he is going to quit as soon as he is finished with his MBA degree.

I have a review coming up and I am concerned because I know my boss doesn't like me because I won't sway his way.

29 Something Juveniles

I don't understand how some people can remain in a juvenile state of mind for so long. I was with several people on New Year’s Eve hanging out, getting drunk (getting drunk is not juvenile) and relieving stress by joking around and playing drinking games. So then the Juvenile game of truth or dare came up and stupid shit happened which is no surprise...

I warned beforehand that it is a dangerous game to play. No one heeded my warning and they continued. Soon people were running around the pool in underwear and some people made out or hooked up. The juvenile part is when someone asks you out on a date sometime after making out, saying sure give me a call sometime, making out some more then telling everyone that you were borderline raped.

That is juvenile. If you act like this in your 30s you are a fucktard.

Pizza Joints

A long time ago Tony's was good, nice size pizza, great taste, kinda thin. Then the service went to shit and the fucking place would close at fucking 11:00. Haven’t been back in years.

If you want really burnt, over salted, madly over priced, bone dry pizza I recommend going to Anthony's coal fired pizza. Worst goddamn pizza on the planet. This is the star bucks of pizza, because everyone goes there because it is a hipster thing to do.

If you want a sweet and soggy pizza, go to Steve’s Pizza, where they make shitty dough and the sauce is fucking sweet. Why the fuck do you make sweet sauce? Not to mention the cheese falls off the pizza most of the time.

If you want really decent food with very shitty service go to Capones Flicker Light. Their pizza is fucking incredible. They make their pizza appropriately, not too salty, not fucking sweet...steeves! Loaded toppings, awesome cheese and dough. The Chicago style is deep dish and it is fucking amazing because it is hefty and not majorly bread like. It is somewhere in between of fully risen bread and moist delicious dough. Their wings are goddamn good. They have a delicious chicken parm sub, they make great chicken and their grouper bites are amazing. The atmosphere is bar like, but the food is great. But the service fucking sucks. Never order coffee there. Its fucking awful.

Fuck Mario the Baker, your pizza sucks and you don't accept credit cards, you wanker!

Blar

My pseudo vacation was ruined and taken away from me. I need to start telling people that I am out of the country when I am on vacation. I don't like people trying to use my free time for me it is annoying.

I am so piss tired right now it is ridiculous. I have to finish cleaning and do shopping today.
