Things they would not teach me of in college

I believe in going to specialists and experts. I believe that everyone has their niche. Following that line of thinking: if someone is going to college to be a psychiatrist, why do they have to take another 4 years of the same crap they took in high school? Isn’t this distracting them from the...
Is she really going out with him?

Is she really going out with him?

Have you ever noticed all of those commercials and TV shows that have a balding, overweight, below-average looking, average income guy with a spunky, cute, fit chick? Why is the overweight, broke guy on King of Queens married to a hot, fit girl? It’s not believable. People in real life aren’t...
Mr. Telephone Man, there’s something wrong with my line

Mr. Telephone Man, there’s something wrong with my line

Alright, I’m getting really tired of the cell phone company’s automated prompts that play before you leave a voicemail for someone. When I call someone, I just want to leave a message quickly, not jump through a bunch of hoops! Why do they have all of those silly prompts:...
Now don’t just stand there bust a move

Now don’t just stand there bust a move

I’m really annoyed by people who don’t take the bull by the horns and bust a move in life – mainly because I know that the world will not wait for them. There are talented, skilled, awesome people out there who will never be recognized because they’re unmotivated or simply...
Meet the new boss…same as the old boss

Meet the new boss…same as the old boss

Yes, it’s true: some bosses are straight up assholes and out for themselves! But many (like me!) are just a squirrel trying to get a nut and aren’t killing other squirrels to get it. I used to be a really flexible, nice boss who wanted to positively influence my employees. I used to say sorry...
We all want to change your head

We all want to change your head

OK, I have a complaint about the way most people argue. They start out with seemingly good intentions, and what appears to be a pro-problem-solving approach, but when the stakes get higher they just want to “win,” NOT solve the problem. I understand that solving the problem usually involves...
You will always wonder how it could have been if you’d only lied

You will always wonder how it could have been if you’d only lied

OK, so I tried to assuage a customer the other day that made a suggestion on how I can “improve” my business. Instead of blowing smoke up her ass and faking it by humoring her with the typical reply: “Thanks, that’s a great idea!” and then never actually putting the idea into motion,...
For those about to rock, we salute you (but not in Chicago)

For those about to rock, we salute you (but not in Chicago)

Is it just me or is hip hop getting out of hand? It’s hard to find a bar or club that doesn’t play hip hop, rap, or R&B these days. Nothing against those music genres, but I don’t prefer them, especially compared to ROCK! There’s nothing that would make me happier than to walk into...
Have no faith in constitution, there is no bloody revolution

Have no faith in constitution, there is no bloody revolution

Wholesome food, education, and health are really important. I think we can all agree about that. There shouldn’t be levels in quality when it comes to these 3 things; they should all be excellent, all the time. Excellence should be the “norm.” There are some things in life we just shouldn’t...
I’m gonna get myself connected

I’m gonna get myself connected

I was on Myspace the other day and I am not ashamed to say that I get totally sucked into the bullshit. It starts out innocent enough…you know, I check out how many plays my songs got and how many new “friend” requests I have. Before I know it, 17 minutes have passed and I’m on Snobby...
