I watched a few animated batman and superman movies and I see that the formula hasn't changed, which is fine because the formula works. There is one part of the formula I don't like really though and that is the "I'm better than the bad guy because I refuse to kill anyone..."
There is a flaw with this mind set. The flaw simply being that if you don't kill off the confirmed non-rehabilitatable villain or super villain in this instance, then you are partially responsible for the deaths of anyone past the first time of jailing. So all those times Batman were to incarcerate the Joker and every time he got out and killed people, I'd say Batman is responsible for those deaths. He should just kill off the Joker. Lives are saved the threat is neutralized.
I don't understand why it is okay for the Joker to keep killing people off repeatedly, when does capitol punishment come into play? I would imagine immediately...
The point I am making here is that telling kids that we do not punish people properly for doing bad things is the wrong message to be sending.
If you wrong people intentionally, you should be punished accordingly.

Fitness
I am at my wits end about trying to keep in shape and be healthy. I signed up for LA Fitness this morning to encourage myself to go to the goddamn gym. I have to get into it and the buddy system is a good way to do it.
I just don't feel that it is fair that my body reacts the way it does, I am eating very well, I lost 26 lbf due to a change in diet, but still my chemistries are all out of whack. I fucking hate working out and I especially don't like some of the people I run into at the gym (I'm sure we all feel that way). I just wish there was an easier way for myself to stay in shape.
What makes me even more gloomy is seeing people work out and do everything they do on a daily, then still get diagnosed with cancer or something equally as ominous. That is life's greatest irony, you do all the right things and still get fucked over.
Like I have said before, the human body is incredibly stupid. For those of you that are god fearing, don't you think he could have done a slightly better job? Wow, what a crappy job he did, it gets sick, it can die easily, it is affected by emotion all too easily, the environment attacks it too much and too easily. My allergies are flared up right now and I think it is a little ridiculous that my body is suffocating itself. Great job.
Life sucks, more for people in Japan right now, but still my trivialities matter to me because I am uncomfortable.

LA Fitness
Is it just me or are the sales people at LA Fitness the biggest douche bags ever? I have had to deal with the sales people on two separate occasions at two different locations. Both of those times was a major displeasure.
The first time the sales guy wouldn't tell us (me and someone else) the price of membership until we took a tour and gave him some info. He was really pissing us off and we ended up not signing up because of it.
This second time it was me alone, I get a corporate discount and I pretty much made up my mind about joining, but I still wanted to give myself a few days to think about it. I went to the gym with a friend to try it out and in order to get in I had to give them my drivers license. So after working out, a sales person had my drivers license which I expected so I had to speak to them before I could get it back. After explaining that I have the corporate plan, I am asked for a credit card, to which I respond that I want to try it out for a few days before signing up, to which I get a reply of "but it is just 29 dollars a month." So I said again, no, I want to try it out and think about it first. She kept pushing me and I wouldn't budge.
I asked her for documentation regarding what I get for the price and she said she doesn't have that, but she has a class schedule... what the fuck that has to do with what I asked for I will never know.
So yeah, if you ignore the sales people, not so bad.

ATT is the Devil
I wake up this morning to "morning Joe" like I always do and I see that T-Mobile sold out to our friendly neighborhood assholes ATT. This is horrible news because ATT is the single worst telecom company in the world. Their services all suck, their customer service sucks and they are just an overall bloated displeasure of a company.
I hate ATT. That being said, I would like to take a moment to be a hypocrite:
If I was T-Mobile, I would have done the same, I love money.
Either way, I need to see if I can get away from ATT and move to a different company.

Lessons
I learned a very valuable lesson today, which I was partially already putting to use, but not entirely. I was speaking to someone who I respect very much at work today and he stopped me in the middle of my complaining and set me straight on what I was complaining about.
First things first, I learned that apparently you cannot work on something or a project unless you can justify it. That being said you also shouldn't complain about something not working if you do not have a solution for it. This doesn't mean you can't discuss it among peers, but it is more valuable to construct a proposal to your problem instead of just being whiny about it.
So I will be coming up with a design for the problem and have a time line for the proposal. I really want to fix this problem, our problem is that we are still using MSMQ, which I am sure was stupendous to use back before web services existed, but it has been too long now and this technology needs to be removed and replaced with web services or something better.
I have more reasons, but I will work on it.

Energy
I have been having a total lack of energy when I get home lately, it really has been annoying because I can't get anything done even though I really would like to.
I have been looking for a boxing gym to get into shape or something anything that is better than me currently doing nothing. I try to go walking, but you can only go walking so much. I am thinking about getting my bike back from my buddy who borrowed it, but he claims he is going to start training for a *athalon, I don't know which kind hence the *.
I know that I cannot get into shape because I require a purpose or point to my working out. So I know that boxing will get me there. If that doesn't work I will look into a personal trainer.
I can't breath well either, when I wake up I feel drugged, not consistently but often enough.

Foreclosures
I am not completely torn on this issue, I think it is delicate and must be handled with care, but at the same time I think both sides of the argument are getting away with murder.
Banks are inherently evil, especially Chase and Citi Bank. It doesn't matter what the banks do wrong they seem to get away with murder in this country. The same goes for all other major companies, look at the oil companies.
The obvious aside, I don't understand or see why it is okay for individual home owners who knowingly got into something they couldn't afford to sit on their hands and not pay their mortgage, living rent free, while all the people who made the right decisions have to keep paying. I don't think there should be forgiveness here.
First and last error most people make when dealing with housing is treating it as an investment. WRONG, it is not an investment, it is a place where you live. Unless you have the money to flip houses, you should not do it. If you cannot afford two mortgage payments, then you should not own two houses. This isn't rocket science.
Here is the simple black and white of this issue:
You signed a contract with the devil, it says you owe X amount of dollars for Y years. You cannot back out of it even if you cannot afford it. End of story. You made your bed now sleep in it.
The flip side is the loan companies and banks should stop being assholes and start helping too. They have caused nothing but distrust and havoc.

Company Politics
I am really fed up with inner company politics that are happening, I am so tired of hearing about and seeing things happen so stupidly. Things that are fully preventable too, it all stems down to one person pulling the punches. My manager is the biggest idiot when it comes to management, he only knows how to suck cock and take the credit for someone else's accomplishments.
I want to go over this jackasses head and speak to his boss, because he is in the dark about how quite a few things are going. I wish I could do this and still feel safe afterwards, but I know that isn't how it works.

Misleading Nutrition Facts
I don't like the little box of information on the back of the packaged food we eat. I like that it tells me the ingredients because that makes me bar myself from eating a butt load of things, especially junk food. However I just don't feel that the information on the back of most packaged food is very helpful.
My Taste Buds
I lack bitter taste buds, I don't mean that figuratively. I literally mean I cannot taste bitter. Which explains why I eat and drink a lot of bitter things and why cough medicine always tasted really sweet to me. I am mentioning this because I have a very big appreciation for how food tastes by itself, with no additives or toppings. I hate dressing, my ideal salad is plain leafy green stuff. I can appreciate the deep rich flavor of different greens.
That being said, I can also taste when something is unnatural or fake. I can pick up the taste of fake sugar easily. I can also pick up the taste of Hydrogenated oils or fats also known as trans fats. These things have a very specific flavor which I can only describe as fake. It doesn't taste like butter, and it feels as if I have a oil or grease in my mouth. It isn't natural. You can do a creepy experiment with these things, I first noticed it with fudge rounds. A type of butter cookie robed in fudge, with a fudge bottom from Walmart. The fudge on the cookie would never melt. When you would touch it, it would just feel greasy. if you left it out for long it would begin to sweat... or at least it appeared that way. There was condensation forming on it which is creepy. This product has transfat in it and after learning that, I learned what it tasted like.
Nutrition Facts
I don't like these facts because I think they are misleading when it comes to certain foods. For example, I'd swear nuts were worse for you than a tub of lard based on what I have read on those panels. I don't think it is fair that we can really say something has X amount of calories if the quality of those calories are not equal. That being said an example would be:
Peanuts
If you look at the panel for those and compare them, you would swear that it was bad for you.
I think there should just be a system of points that describe how good or bad something is for me in addition to the break down on nutrition. It is hard to decide when something as harmless as nuts seem to have more calories and fat than a goddamn donut.

A Special Place in my Colon for these People
I'm tired of hearing about people getting hi-jacked by Somali pirates or any type of pirate. Here is my criteria for whether or not I give the slightest hint of a shit:
1. Were the people who were hijacked rich
2. Were the people who were hijacked on a yacht (this excludes cruise ships because it is less pretentious)
3. Were the people who were hijacked in a place where they shouldn't have been
If the answer was yes to any of those, I could really care less, I say fuck em'. I say fuck em' for the same reason I say fuck-it to people who purposely go to Israel for vacation and possibly get blown the fuck up. You purposely went to place where there are bombs and terrorism... FUCK YOU. I don't feel sorry for rich assholes who had to go on vacation in a place where they shouldn't be to begin with, not to mention being on a yacht which couldn't get any more pretentious than that. How am I supposed to feel sorry for people that are way fortunate than I am. Look at the fucking idiots that were picked up "hiking" along the border of Iran. Of all the goddamn places in the whole wide FUCKING WORLD you had to hike in IRAN! Where there is terrorism and war near by. WHAT THE FUCK! So FUCK THEM, FUCK THEM IN THE ASS. What is wrong with people! Don't fucking sail in pirate infested waters, don't go to country's where there are bombs waiting for you and for Christ sake don't go hiking in enemy territory you goddamn imbeciles. I cannot feel sorry for these people and no one is going to change my mind.
Here are different examples of what I am talking about... I think the following are not REAL diseases, they may be classified as diseases, but what part of it really justifies its being called a real disease other than the mental part of it.
1. Bulimia
2. Anorexia
3. Body Dysmorphic Disorder
4. Obesity
5. Alcoholism
Those are all diseases that can only occur for people who are ironically fortunate enough to have them. You will never go to a country with starving people in it and find Bulimics and Anorexics. These people can go fuck themselves, what kind of bullshit diseases are these? George Carlin did a whole segment on it, "What kind of bullshit diseases are these? I don't wanna eat! Fuck you, don't eat." These are the same sentiments I have for people who are consistently on welfare but still manage to buy gold chains and alcohol, find someone who will eat the food they aren't eating and give it to them. Let them die, they obviously don't appreciate what they have and must develop some sort of retarded "disease" as a cry for help? Fuck off. The same deal with the undeserving welfare recipients, I say take them and move their asses to Mexico and bring over some Mexicans that will appreciate a fucking citizenship here.
I don't understand how I am supposed to take this shit seriously when I cannot comprehend how individuals who have all of the available resources in front of them manifest these horse shit "diseases". If you don't have to worry about your finances, what could you possibly be sad about that drives you to drink. Again, fuck these people. I guess I should say you are lucky enough to have enough goddamn free time on your hands in order to develop such frivolous problems.

One Month Vacation
I need a one month vacation, this is not an exaggeration on my part, I am quite serious. I need a one month vacation so I can take a one week vacation on a cruise or something, then when I come back get down to some serious business. I have so many ideas that I want to implement, but the time I have right now is limited to just weekends and that kind of stupid crap... to make matters worse my weekends are usually taken away from me by other people or my inability to think clearly due to exhaustion.
I just need the time to take care of certain things for my mother, take care of doctor appointments and take care of the business end of stuff for myself and other people. My drive to make money is there, I will never stop, I am going to do whatever it takes, even if it is an Apple approach where I sell stupid shit to stupid people by exploiting their stupidity and lack of intelligence.
I am worried about falling behind in the tech realm, my job is in the stone age in terms of technology. I want to move my skills forward, but I don't want to quit either. So I need to train myself.

Cheating Diet
I have bad news for some of you out there. There is no realistic way to cheat on your diet or on what you are inputting into your body. This goes along the same lines as magical dieting pills, they don't exist. Pills that make your metabolism move on its own is called legalized crack or speed. It isn't good for you unless you have hypothyroidism like me and I don't pop pills. I might have to soon, but like I said that is for special cases, my body doesn't produce enough hormones for my body to process fat or metabolise as it should.
So all that brings me to this point: please don't buy into any product where the main selling point is, "it is good for you because we said so."
Products like this: Smart Balance Butter
I don't care that it is not saturated fat, it is still fat. It doesn't give you a free pass to keep slathering it on things. Don't be stupid there is no such thing as a free pass when it comes to dieting.
Dieting is all about calorie accounting, you have X to spend in a day, if you go over X you will become fatter if you do not expend it through exercise.

Potentials
I don't understand why when someone has a good idea and they present it to their superior, they shoot it down or will say, "That is a great idea, but we can't do that right now." Instead, I've learned if you have a great idea, you should start working on it in a sand box environment without telling anyone first. Then present the idea as a proof of concept so that it is finished already and no one can shoot it down.
I think it is stupid and a waste to shoot down potentials/ideas. Nothing is a bigger demotivate-or than someone saying, hey that is a great idea, but don't do it.
This is why I implemented my ideas into a sand box environment for my own satisfaction, that way come time to implement this idea, it is done already.
