Today I ran over a dog
I was driving down one of those roads where there are no residential houses near by, then BAM! suddenly a little dog ran out in front of my car. I must have struck that poor little thing in the leg for something, because it started spinning in circles and crying. The sad part is, I [...]
Unrealistic Craigslist Ads
After paying 15******* income, I am down about $17,000 for the year. To celebrate this momentous occasion, I decided to give myself a raise. So for the past few days I have been cruising Craigslist for new employment opportunities. Here are a couple things I noticed about Craigslist job posting that is really annoying: 1) [...]
California cutting education funding
Ok, this just does not make any sense to me… The economy is going down the tubes and kids are stupid… The solution… Cut education funding? Lay off teachers? It’s like patching a leaking damn with bubble gum. Sure it seems like a great idea now, but how will we secure our future in the [...]
Dilated pupil and blurry vision
Once in a while, for unknown reasons, my pupils get very dilated and will not shrink regardless of how much light I shine on it. During these moments my vision is very blurry and I feel kinda aloof…. I am guessing its something I should consult a doctor about, but it happens so rarely I [...]
Nightmares of coding and politics

I think that’s a clear indication that I’ve been working way too too much… What the hell does it mean when a Query attacks you? Today, I had an equally strange dream… I dreamed Barak Obama lost the Presidental race. Man [...]

I hate dirty yellow toilets
This history channel special on “toilets” is one of the most interesting piece of television I have seen in weeks, and more informative and unbiased than the entire existence of Fox News (take that!). Funny fact: The guy who invented one of the first modern toilet is named “Thomas Crapper”. The narrator had the galls [...]
Like Minded People
After reading news articles, watching TV, or just talking to my friends about anything controversial, it always makes me incredibly frustrated. Frustrated because there never seems to be a right answer, a unifying idea, or at the very least, a best choice. Take for example, the battle over who should be the next president. Obama? [...]
Star Trek
I been getting into the habit of watching Star Trek – Voyager lately because of my girlfriend. Yea, I know, freaky… Anyways, I caught an early edition of the Star Trek series this morning, the one with Captain Kirk and Spock. I have always thought that “seven of nine” tight outfit was a bit riskee, [...]
