If I made what I think I am currently owed, all of my current problems would be solved in a heart beat. I would be the happiest guy on earth and I think I would go as far as keep to myself to not attract attention. I feel that I should be getting paid minimum 70K for what I can provide currently. I have many things to offer skill wise and my skills are multifaceted. I can learn anything and do anything asked of me. I go that extra mile required in order to get the job done, it is the you scratch my back and I will scratch yours scenario.
If I was making 70K I would do the following:
+Pay off my school loans
+Pay off my mother's house
+Buy my g/f a new car
+Go to the many doctors I need to go to
+Go to a psychologist
+Hire a bunch of laborers to do what ever my mother needs to her house so she can leave me alone
+Work on bringing over my mother's family from Venezuela
+Buy a new car for me, probably another Yaris
+Buy a new power PC aka server
+Buy a new power gaming/development PC
There are tons of other really detailed things I would do, but that is about it in a nut shell.
Stuff I promise I won't do when I become filthy rich:
+I promise to not forget the people who helped me to where I am right now
+I promise to not forget the people who told me I will not amount to anything
+I promise to live a humble life like I am now
+I promise to not spend my money on incredibly stupid things that could be put to better use
+I promise to not live in a house so large someone could get lost in it and die from starvation
I don't have any need for a luxury vehicle, I want a basic driving machine. I would rather help people.

My Boss the Douche
My boss who we will refer to as John Doe, is as you should know already based on my past ramblings; a giant douche. Here is just one more thing he has done to further that point:
My co-worker, we will call him mike, was given a cat, actually a kitten to be exact. So the mutual trading place is at work for this exchange to take place. Mike lets John know that he is taking the afternoon off (14:00 forward) so he can take the cat home, but he will continue working from home since we have a VPN. My boss OK's this. A week later, mike finds out that my boss put him down as being on vacation for 4 hours. He didn't ask, he just did it.
First off what asshole does that. Most of us work weekends willingly, so now that this happened, Mike will no longer work weekends. End of story.
I have seen my asshole boss show up late and leave early the same day. He truly is a piece of shit. I hate this man more than words can describe...
If this continues then I think I want to start filling out my own time card. Maybe we should have a goddamn punch card to clock in and out with. This asshole wont say anything to his favorites for taking a 2-3 hour lunch, but my buddy goes home and keeps working and he gets docked pay essentially what kind of horse shit is that?

Optimists
I think that the type of life you live is chosen by you for the most part. I am talking about normal ideal conditions in the US. When I say ideal normal conditions I mean growing up poor and having almost nothing. No family vacations and going to a public school that makes you want to pull a columbine on it because you hate everyone so much. You don't get new clothes unless you really beg and plead. You don't even want to celebrate your birthday because you know the expense of a present might be too much. If you decide to go to college, your parents tell you good luck with that and paying for it.
When you grow up in these normal conditions like I have, then you tend to not trust or like anyone and you become skeptical of everything with the expectation of failure or broken promises. Growing up, none of my friends had fathers. They were either dead beats, dead or just not around. This was normal I thought. I hated my father because he was a very sad man who tried to mold me into something I wasn't. Eventually I didn't have a father because his stupid ass died due to self inflicted poor health.
I find it repulsive and offensive when an optimist wants to take all of my life experiences and all the reasons I am they way I am and I think the way I think and they just ball it all up into one word. They call me negative. So the next time you want to tell someone they are being negative, stop and think first about why they are thinking the way they are thinking instead of simply labeling them and trivializing their reasoning.
One of the things that truly makes me exceptionally upset is when someone doesn't listen to reason or refuses to see a problem and would rather tell me I am negative instead of deal with what is at hand. Those people are the reason we can't fix certain problems, they are the people who got theirs and want to ignore everyone else's pain.
I would rather be a realist any day, rather than an air headed optimist.

Looking Mad
I happen to look upset most of the time, but in particular when I am thinking about something or trying to figure out a difficult problem, I look pissed off. The funny part is I am perfectly fine, I just happen to look that way, which sucks because it is how my face settles, there is nothing I can do about it. So this sets off the happy go lucky idiot types to think that there is something wrong, when in reality there isn't anything wrong.
My boss is one of those people, he has labeled me as negative and pretty much considered me a poison for the rest of the development team since he willfully misconstrues constructive criticism as negativity. To which I think shows what a terrible leader he is and shows that he doesn't have management skills. Bringing this back to my original point, he probably thinks I am negative all of the time and makes prejudgment due to my thinking face. This isn't fair to me.

Banter
I want a dual band hand held. I am thinking Yaesu, just for convenience. I also want a bike, but not a machine welded department store bike, but a slightly high end touring bike. Not necessarily racing bike, but definitely not a damn mountain bike.
I like bicycles, I always have and I want to get that exhilaration of being on a bike back. Flying long distances and going so fast you feel like your heart is going to explode. Fun shit. It has been an insanely long time since I have ridden a bike.

Gym Sluts
Let me explain! I think there is a difference between someone attending the gym for fitness and self image versus the attention whores that are there sometimes.
I can appreciate anyone attending the gym who is trying to better themselves. For women who are very curvy and just look super sexy no matter how they dress, I do my best not to stare and undress them in my mind. It isn't polite and they are there for themselves, not to put on a show like the meat heads.
The point where I draw the line is when women show up in what looks like lingerie sometimes, super short tight fitting clothing that they are falling out of. I can't help myself, I stare because that to me means, please stare at my goods. They flaunt their tits and ass, therefore I look. I can't help myself if some of them are sporting Lycra pants with a thong, they might as well be naked. Some of them wear very revealing bras and tank tops. Plus they are wearing make-up. They are not there for a work out, they are gym sluts looking to tease some cock.
I never bought the argument that women should be allowed to dress as slutty as they want and then expect everyone to not gawk or worse rape them. We are still animals, so don't be adventurous.
For the record, I think meat heads are a nuisance, loud cocky idiots. People just want to be healthy for the most part so stop crowding the gym with all your buddies cause you think it is a mall.
Just wanted to express all that.
I guess that makes me a male human with sexual urges. I will ogle you relentlessly if you dress like a slut. So fuck you if you don't like it.

Thor
I saw the Marvel Thor movie and I have to say it was pretty good; in my opinion of course. The movie could have been better if the movie was split into two parts. I feel that they rushed the whole thing and forced their characters to move too quickly with the plot. There was a huge lack of character development and because of that certain parts of the film were not very believable.
Other than that, I thought it was fantastic. I love how they keep tying each of the new Marvel movies together into Shield. That makes me believe that there is going to be a shield movie where all of the Marvel characters will be brought together for a huge event.
It will be epic.

Visual Considerations
Dear Microsoft Office Team,
Back when I was using Office 97' I was able to change the default Microsoft Word background color to a slightly dark, yet more soothing than white, blue background color. I wasn't particularly fond of the blue, but again better than staring into a bright white background which could definitely be blinding at times. Especially when you have been staring at you goddamn screen for more than 4 hours.
You took this feature away from me and others. I am sure it is because it would cause confusion since the lettering would become white on a blue background. I'm sure this confused people who actually thought it would print out that way too (WYSIWYG).
That being said, could you please for the love of people who already can't see very well change your minds about not including this option. I value what is left of my eye sight and would like to be able to read what is on the screen without squinting too hard. I don't think this is too much to be asking for, even in a programmatic sense.
All I want is to have a black background with white lettering on it. Obviously the inverse is true for printing.
This would be handy for Word and Outlook.
Thanks,
Blagger

Open Enrollment
I went to my open enrollment benefits seminar and I basically learned that my benefits are horrible. I have really crappy health care is what I have learned. My dental benefits are just as horrible, yippy!
What I don't like about these goddamn benefits summaries is that they make everything sound so goddamn cheerie, but when it comes time to use your fucking benefits they really suck major ass.
It is like the time I went to the ENT and he stuck a scope up my nose, then I was billed $125 dollars for quote on quote "surgery". What fucking surgery, I got a scope shoved up my nose. No cutting, bleeding, anesthesia, wtf are they talking about?
So apparently they cover my visit to a specialist, 60 dollars and then 100% covered after that. What that really means is: they charge me 60 bucks, they cover the visit to the office over that, if any procedures are performed it costs extra.
Thanks for nothing United.
