Vote

I really wish I could find the time to update this more, but it hasn’t happened.
Anyways…
Tomorrow, vote.  Do us all a favor and think about who you’re voting for.  I’ve asked this before but tomorrow it matters.  Do not vote for someone because your party tells you to.  Vote for the person you really think [...]

Ongoing story of work

Well tomorrow is a big day for me.  I finally get to have a one-on-one meeting with the new CEO.  This should be interesting to say the least.  Then after that I have a meeting with my VP and our new CTO.  I have to believe this is all positive.  I mean if they didn’t [...]

Does your candidate really match your beliefs?

Found some great links to see if your candidate really matches your views on 25 topics:

After filling this out it seems Mr. Kucinich shares my views on 15 of the 25 topics.  I never thought of him as my running mate, guess I’ll have to dig more into his views and sway him to some [...]

What do you make of this?

So as I mentioned before we’re going through a merger/acquistion or whatever you want to call it and we have a new management team.  A new CEO, CTO, CFO, the works, all new.  We’ve had at least one company meeting with most of the new C-levels and we were told we were going to do this together.  [...]

It’s been awhile

Sorry for the delay in posting.  Work has been challenging lately.  We were told we were acquiring a company but it turns out that both companies have actually been acquired by a new holding company so everything is uncertain.
 What gets me is the game of kiss-ass that a lot of people are now playing.  Perhaps [...]

Sheriff Joe Arpaio

If you haven’t heard of Sheriff Joe Arpaio, check out this Wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Arpaio
I have to say I like his thinking on how to handle inmates.  I’m not endorsing what he does or how he goes about it, but I do believe he is on track on how to handle overcrowding.  Imagine “tent cities” setup [...]

Angry American

Great link over at MilkandCookies today

I’m not advising anyone to sign the petition at the end.  I just thought the recorded interviews of several government officials contradicting themselves (OK call it lying) was worth the view.  And of course “I’m mad as hell and can’t stand it anymore.”  is always worth a listen.

TheRealMe for President

OK – it’s the first the time I can run for President, so I am.  Consider me a third-party write-in candidate.  I’m not looking for any donations for my campaign.  I’m looking to see how much impact this media may have on the forth coming election.  To that extend over the course of the coming [...]

While I was out…

Damn.  Lots to mention while I was away on vacation.  Where to start?
Chris Benoit.  I used to follow the WWE, then I found UFC.  Every now and then I check out Vince and crew to see what’s going on.  Most of the story lines are beyond horrible but occassionally the wrestling is entertaining.  I know [...]

Why does it bother you?

OK, someone needs to explain to me why same sex marriage, civil unions, etc… is so bad or harmful.  If two people are at the legal age to marry why should I care who they are marrying?  With half of all marriages failing today anyways why would we not want to see the percent of [...]
