I Can’t Pay My Taxes Today, I’m Busy Teabagging

What a bunch of teabagging douchebags! Scream scream scream. Outrage outrage outrage. How dare this liberal socialist terrorist collect a thing called taxes?! How dare he?! We’ve had enough. Scream scream scream…blah blah blah…you are all a bunch of douchebags!

Teabagging DouchebagI hate taxes more than the next guy…but where were these “tea parties” for the past 30 years. Since I can remember taxes haven’t been “low.” Repubs have framed this issue so well that taxes appear to be a democratic epidemic. Taxes didn’t exist 100 days ago. Before Jan 20, 2009 there was no income tax. There was no sales tax and there sure as hell wasn’t a death tax. The government ran on hugs and farts…cause god knows bush had plenty.

Enough with pretending this had anything to do with the boston tea party. I don’t want to party like it’s 1773. I don’t want to think about 1773. I’m pretty sure we were scalping injins and buying slaves. For the past 10 years this country has made many mistakes. We have a trillion dollar war. We have insolvent banks. The insurance companies are financially (and ethically) bankrupt. Morons without a job or credit card bought homes they could’t afford. We have to do something. Teabagging isn’t one of them…although…maybe it is

Making My Own Cobb Salad

I literally just finished making (and eating) a Cobb salad. I eat tons of Cobb salads but I’ve never made my own. The ingredients are pretty straight forward so there is no reason to not try and “save” that $13.95. It was ok…but nothing was “saved.”

I realized the hard way that unless I plan on making more than 1 Cobb, by tomorrow, I am going to spend waaaay more than $13.95. As anyone who has set foot inside a market knows, you can’t buy 1 chicken breast. You can’t buy 1 slice of Avocado. You can’t buy just a few bacon bits; or just enough lettuce, washed and chopped. You can’t buy one hard boiled egg and you can’t buy half a tomato — trust me, I tried!

So right now I am trying to figure how this was beneficial to me. I know a lot of you love to cook and making food is not a pain. I’m learning to like it…but when I break down the time and the cost, it just don’t be making sense. Check it:

  • chicken (3 pcs) $9.95
  • letCobbtuce $2.99
  • tomato $1.99
  • blue cheese $4.99
  • dressing $7.99
  • avocado $1
  • bacon bits $4.99
  • eggs $3.99

Even if I divide everything based on the portion used I am still well over $15.00. So financially I am better off buying a Cobb from Panini and time-wise…well I washed the vegetables, chopped (wish I had a slap chop) and cooked the chicken. The entire process took about 30 minutes. All in all it’s a phuking waste of time and money for me to make my own Cobb. Don’t get me wrong, I believe there are plenty of foods (pasta, grilled chicken, hamburgers) that are much more cost effective to make at home rather than buy from a restaurant…a Cobb salad sure as phuk ain’t one of them.

Viva Panini…Zooza Crackers @ The Wynn, I miss u!

Oh So Overrated

gmailGmail
If you are looking for a free email client so you can check your email every couple of days, this is perfect for you. Especially if you don’t mind using the gmail webmail. If you live in Outlook, use a BlackBerry and don’t want to have a copy of every sent message sent back to you as a new message, Gmail is not your friend. I switched away from a hosted exchange server and used Gmail (Google apps for your domain) for 6 months. I gave it more than the “college try.” My contacts, appointments and tasks were never synced. Gmail + IMAP just aren’t friendly with each other. Gmail is OK, it’s just not an acceptable business solution.

Horror Movies
horrorcrap99.9% of horror movies are terrible. They are predictable, cheesy and low quality. Even the critically acclaimed ones are lame at best (Saw). Why must we be subjected to commercial after commercial (during prime time) of this ultra-violent schlock? I’m watching a basketball game on TNT, I don’t want to see a commercial for the last house on the left 400 times. It’s this morally bankrupt bullshit that has convinced the sheeple of this country the boogie man is out to get them. Remember, these are the same people that actually believed Jack Bauer needs legal protection to torture terrorists. Enough with these horracious commercials, they are warping my fragile phuking mind.

Complete Cloud Computing
cloud-computing-kitchen-sinkWhen it comes to hosting an enterprise level, web application with multiple data models running real time replication, cloud computing is, no doubt, the way to go. For the past 5 years, I have heard that cloud computing will be the mainstay for everyone. You won’t have a PC anymore. You’ll just have a monitor, (broadband) modem, keyboard, and a mouse. Yeah, that will work out well. People are going to upload their 500GBs of downloaded music and movies to some centralized server. People are going to be more than willing to store their proprietary designs, code, business logic, blue prints, inventions, drawings, home-made porn on some server. Facebook recently tried to alter their terms of services to let users know that anything uploaded to their (Facebook’s) servers, is Facebook property. That went over real well. Wedding pics, prom pics, love letters…all property of Facebook. Facebook listened to the complaints and has reverted back until a new terms of services is voted upon by it’s users. Oh, one more kind of important thing, you have a paper due and your internet connection just went down…um…now what??? Cloud Computing is the future, just not for the home user.

Built in car Bluetooth
bluetoothHello? Yo….yo….I can’t hear you? Face it — the bluetooth in your car phuking sucks. I can’t hear you. That’s great that you can hear me, so can everyone else in your car. Not to mention I am now in a group conversation with 4 type A personalities that want to comment and interrupt every sentence…. Just because you can hear me with windows open, stereo bumping, while doing 85 on the 405, doesn’t change the fact, I can’t phuking hear you. So please buy a bluetooth earpiece like the rest of us, cause your speakerphone is bullshit.

Angelina Jolie
octomom jolieThis ugly bitch looks like the Octomom. You are all nuts thinking this hideos bitch is hot. Sure she had a nice body when she was 20. This overrated craptress now looks like she is 50. Every single celebrity blog refers to her as St Angie. Why is she a saint? She refuses to speak to her father, made out with her brother at the Oscars, stole another woman’s husband and adopts children like handbags to further her own celebrity. If she really wanted to make a difference she would have adopted an american child or started an orphanage. This bitch is a self-serving lunatic with badly, half-removed tattoos. Enough with this ugly cunt already. There are millions of fresh faced, hot women to talk about.
