this is amazing. considering it’s in almost every speech bush makes while trying to pursuade combat or justify mistakes you’d think the old folk would have at least googled it by now.
and yes. it’s been about a half hr since the last one. no internet yesterday.

methinks i have issues. not like bad issues or really anything i’m going to waste my money on therapy for, but there are a lot of things that annoy me. the problem is a lot of the things that annoy me are things about myself.
namely one i’ve been thinking about recently and thought about a lot today while working under an incompetent boss doing ridiculous things outside of anything i need to know how to do.
what i’m talking about is my fascination with infatuation. i literally fall for a girl within a half hour and then she sticks around for weeks. coming around and making appearances in the bank. my thoughts start as always with sally’s employees. namely MM. damn. something about that place just brings out the slut in me. maybe it’s cause they stay so damn sober while all the other chicks fall into slunkdom.
either way i have nokomis lifeguards to hit on now and due to my previous patterns i’d say it’s only a matter of time. i’m all sorts of piles of lame.
and in a related story. why does the one person who has so many great stories about random things take the longest to update his blog?
a long weekend »
Sunday, August 6th, 2006
after a pretty quick move friday my weekend began. first was taledega nights. completely what i expected, a movie less about plot and more about will ferrell screaming his head off with hilarious lines. a couple money points were surrounded by ignorance toward plot, reality, and common sense.
after the flick i went out to gastolf’s for some good beer and chilling for yonica’s going away festivities. she’s moving out to duloof and had some folk meet up for some drinks and good times.
saturday was slow going. chilled for the morning and got a slow start, but then went and partook in a jurassic park movie-a-thon at tony’s place. good times. crappy movies. and great booze. from there it was lyle’s for about a half hr. then the drink store and then down to the house warming at the alamo (the new place off nokomis). good times and met some of the roomate’s friends.
i didnt have a bed there so i headed up to uptown to meet up with kobany and a couple others at williams. good times. then back home to cash out finally.
today was fun, in a weird way. got the truck thanks to tony around 1 and had my stuff loaded up about 20 mins later. took drew a bit longer and we got some living room furniture in there too. tony got some books and a sweet deal on spin doctors.
move went without too many hitches and i even hit the coffee shop for some juice. after all was set up tony hit the road and i grabbed a primo. then moved some furniture around and went down to beach nokomis with patrick. refreshing.
getting semi-stoked about the move because i dig the neighborhood and the roomates are top notch. i’ll probly have folk come down friday to chill on the deck and have some brews. if you’re in let me know.
socially responsible big business »
Friday, August 4th, 2006
i would say that’s an oxymoron, but there are 4 words. either way whoever believes business will act in the best interest of the consumer due to market pressures and a goal of long-term profits obviously wasnt looking at companies that distribute basic necessities.
it’s one things for a company that sells clothes to keep their prices at a profitable level and provide a high quality product consistently in order to create loyalty, but it’s obvious that when a consumer is forced into a market with limited choices the companies care less and less about those consumers.
as for oil companies, fluctuating market profits are no excuse for giving your CEO a retirement package of almost 400 million dollars while increasing the cost at the pump. and cable companies know they can be lax and over charge because there are few markets that even allow more than one company because of increased infrastructure costs that competition creates. and i guess power companies fall into that category as well. and i can only assume the 4 companies who put cell phones into the hands of %70 percent of us are looking out for our best interests. unless you want to block incoming spam. that’s not their problem.

… so for the third post of the day:
the good the bad and the ugly is an awesome flick. the only problem is the sync is so far off it looks like it’s dubbed over a foreign language. really fucking annoying.
