Control your offspring

So, Google has apparently upgraded its Blogger site. Took me some time now to convert over to the "new and improved" version. Be interested to see how improved it is.

Ran across this story yesterday. It concerns an airline that booted a child and the parents off a flight because the parents could not control the child. The Airline in question is AirTrans Airways, who basically said "enough is enough!" If you can not control your child, you suck as parents and are holding up the flight, so get the hell off! So, kudos to AirTrans Airways for not putting up with bullshit and making the right call.

I can tell you from working in retail that we see this type of shit day in and day out - parents who simply can not or refuse to control thier children. It is annoying as hell. Not sure what the hell is wrong with some people these days, but damnit folks, keep tabs on your kids! Try to be in control! You are a parent for God's sake and the world is not your childs playground!

If you read at the end of the story, the parents state that they will no longer fly with AirTrans Airways! HAHA! Oh yes, I am sure AirTrans Airways is really upset about that one. "Oh, hey, those really worthless parents with the annoying kid? Yeah, they are never flying with us again! hahaha YAY!

The Silent Invasion

This is a topic that really, really pisses me off: Illegal Immigration. I can tell you from living in Arizona and seeing all the bullshit that goes on here (let alone other places as well, I'm sure) I am of the view that for some unknown reason our government does not want to stop the illegals from crossing the border.

Seriously, we need far great law enforcement on this. Build a damn wall already if you have to! Keep the damn illegals from pouring over the border! It has come to the point that it is a god damn invasion!

The story in question is this one. It details how one of our lookout posts along the border, maned by four National Guard personnel, was approached by a number of Mexican gunmen. The National Guard members WITHDREW.

What - the - fuck !?

Someone please tell me what this is all about?! Armed invaders cross into our territory and our military withdraws? Bullshit! We should have opened fire, called in reinforcements and fucked these bastards up!

This is hardly the first instance of armed Mexicans crossing into our homeland. But the fact that I keep coming back to is, why are we not defending our country?! Because these are suppose to be our friendly neighbors? Or is their something else that we are not aware of?

I don't give a crap WHO you are. You invade our land, you should get sent back from where you came in a bucket! The time has come for us to defend and tighten our borders. Walls, tanks, security, MINEFIELDS.. whatever it takes this needs to be done and done now.

Sanford and Son

Well, yesterday was my Dad's birthday! So happy birthday, Dad! It's a big one too! But for his sake I will not deal with numbers here!

We had a crazy storm yesterday, here in sunny Arizona. So much so, that it actually dropped some snow on certain norther areas. Of course, to the pathetic thing know as Arizona local news, this was akin to the second coming of Christ! It was all that was on the radio and TV for the rest of the day! God our local news sucks...

Today I find myself with a day off! Yay! So I am taking some of my time to organize and throw out the junk that we seem to have accumulated since the holidays. Oh my God.. this place looks like a friggin Sanford and Son! I actually think the woman has that mental disorder that keeps people from throwing things out!

Me: "Honey, what is this EMPTY box for?"
Her: "It was for a toaster that broke 5 years ago. But I may need it for something!"

So, I am rampaging through the apartment today. I am sure she will come home upset, but, it must be done! I can no longer have my space encroached upon by empty boxes for Kitchen Aids or piles of christmas wrapping!

So it is said, so it is done.

Well, the box looks nice

Since it has finally slowed down, I am trying an attempt to get my carpet cleaned. You see, I have to contact the office, have them give me a slip, then call folks on said slip and set up a day to have them come out. Of course, this needs to coincide with one of my days off.

Quite a few months ago the woman won a Hoover Agility. Now, this would seem an easy solution since I could actually use this product to clean the carpets! However, for some odd reason, I have been directed by the woman NOT to unbox and use this item. Yes! I am at a loss as well!

I need to clean the carpet. I HAVE a carpet cleaner at my disposal. Yet, I have been directed not to use it... Perhaps the woman hates the idea of using the new carpet cleaner on a dirty carpet? I will pursue this matter at greater length when she arrives home.

Now that is a big number

Can you say "succesful"? Blizzard Entertainment sure can. They announced this week that their hugely popular massive multiplayer online game World of Warcraft has surpassed 8 million players. EIGHT FRIGGIN MILLION worldwide.

Eight million people, worldwide, who login to adventure in the virtual World of Warcraft. Amazing what technology has brought our way.

Super big fat kitty

Just returned from dinner with the woman. Holy crap is it cold out! I mean friggin COLD! Not a big fan of the cold.. like it hot, you know, Arizona and all. Tonight though, friggin brrrr!

Ran across this amusing little story today. Apparently a stray cat managed to get itself stuck in a pet door while trying to plunder some dog food! Stuck! Wouldn't that be amusing. You are a home owner, you come home, to see a giant fat cat stuck in your pet door! The cat was eventually reunited with it's owner, but you have to take a look at this thing! I thought my cat was fat!

The Fanatical Apple

Hmm, where did THIS week go? Wow.

Sorry for the lack of updates. I am trying to decide if they are from me being really busy or really lazy. Think I have been enjoying the quieter side of the holiday's this past week.

Right now, I am tired as all hell. I HATE it! Hate being tired. I have no time to be tired! I have stuff to do, damnit!

Tomorrow I have my boss coming out to check out the store after the holidays. It is sort of the big hill I have to climb before I get to my day off on Friday - which I am thoroughly looking forward to. As soon as I can, I plan start taking some extra days off. The store is dead and it's time to get some relax time in.

This week is the big Consumer Electronics Show in Vegas. I was watching a presentation by Apple's Steve Jobs on Apple's new iPhone. I swear, I have seen enough of his presentations over the years in front of those insane and fanatical Mac people. You bunch of crazy goofs you! It makes me laugh each and every time.

You see, Steve will get up there and start showing off a new Apple gadget like it was given to him by God. Each and every exchange goes something like this:

Steve Jobs: "You turn it on, by pressing THIS button!"

Crowd of Mac fanatics: "OOOOOHHHHHHHH" Thunderous applause.

Idiots.

If I can find a video of it online in the next few days I will be sure to link it. Just funny stuff.

Category: Coolness

So, I am not a big fan of sports, but I am a big Star Wars fan. I think, actually, everyone is except my woman. George Lucas, the man himself, was this years Grand Marshall of the 118th Rose Parade in Pasadena, California this past Sunday. Of course, he brought some friends - The 501st Legion! Behold the coolness:
