It’s a tough economy out there.  Unemployment levels are high, and money seems scarce for many.
It’s only a matter of time before those in the food and restaurant business have to start cutting costs.
According to Robert, a co-worker of mine, it’s only a matter of time before businesses stop purchasing both forks and spoons.
With sporks, [...]

While watching the World Series, a Ford commercial popped on the TV.  It seems a lot of these Detroit-based automakers have been trying to “hippen-up” their advertising and marketing campaigns.
Apparently Ford’s latest slogan is Ford — “Drive One.”
Wow.  Must’ve took some real creative geniuses to come up with that shit.
Maybe whomever came up with that [...]

These days, pretty much all sports stadiums and arenas have corporate names.   Big companies pay the money to have their names attached to the venues.
However, there are still a few stadiums out there that don’t have corporate names.  Dodger Stadium, Yankee Stadium, etc.
It’s the inaugural season for the “new” Yankee Stadium, and while the Mets [...]

Especially these days, affordable medical insurance can be tough to come by.  For me, I try to avoid doctor visits unless I absolutely have to go.  If a problem can be diagnosed and solved without getting a doctor involved, I’m all for it.
Usually this means asking my mom, the Internet, or complete strangers on the [...]

For last 6 months or so, every weekday morning when I’d prefer to be still sleeping, construction noise from outside my window has disrupted my life, and made attempts to ruin it. To be honest, now that the framework of this new apartment complex is in place, it seems most of the work the construction [...]

That’s part of the appeal of my blog.  I don’t care, and if I want to write about something that was more relevant 3 months ago, I can!  During NCAA March Madness (back in March), I was watching one of the basketball games streaming live on the Internet.  The feed came in pretty good for [...]

For some odd reason, about a month ago, I received a check from AT&T for 26 cents in the mail (some kinda refund I guess).  I don’t have a landline in my apartment, and now both cable and Internet service is via Time Warner.  Time Warner sucks, but that issue requires it’s own analysis.
Anyway, this [...]

Most cats have their own ways of waking up their human (to feed them) in the morning.  Some cats will meow loudly, others will walk on your sleeping face, and some will meow and walk on your face at the same time.  To me, these are reasonable tactics, and probably what I would do if [...]

I don’t really have the strength right now to get into a major analysis of President Obama’s economic policies.  I do know one thing though.  My co-worker/friend Carrie Jensen oughta be one of his top economic advisors.
At work, we try to do nice things for people on special occasions.  Whether it be a birthday, good-bye [...]

With Slumdog Millionaire coming out this week on DVD, I have some follow-up thoughts about the film.  I found Slumdog entertaining, despite it’s outlandish plot.  It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but I just remember how in the story  Jamal’s brother wouldn’t let the little girl hide away with them when they were [...]
