Pelosi does it again

Now, where was Nancy in all of this?

Kill me now, please!

So I push myself through fasting and Ranger Challenge PT to make first squad -starting lineup- and now the Army tells that I can't compete because of paperwork and requirements that I asked about back in August before signing up for the class!

That is some B.S.

Add to that the fact that CWST was canceled this semester, and basically I can say that I am having the worst week ever!

I was beginning to sway over to the Army's side given how cool my Ranger Challenge teammates were. However, after this incident, if I ever get a chance to enlist, it is going to be the Marine Corps damn it.

Hopefully I won't be too old by then...

MSN blows

Well, I've always had issues with the opinions posted on MSN.com and the selected news coverage on MSNBC. However, this article "Gasoline's New Math: Miles Per Dollar" is just ridiculously stupid.

Check this out:

It's time for new rules, and new math: Miles Per Dollar, or mpd.

The formula is simple. Take the old mpg, but divide it by the price of fuel. Unlike the vague mpg, mpd is a remorseless measuring stick, its pointy end aimed directly at your wallet. When gas was cheaper than the dirt it sprang from, 20 miles per gallon seemed pretty solid. Even when gas reached a dollar a gallon, you were still getting 20 mpd, traveling 20 miles on a buck.

Here is the problem:

This chart represents the average price of gasoline in Texas from 1979 to 2008.

Can you see the problem now?

1 gallon now = 1 gallon in a month
1 mile now = 1 mile in a month
Price of fuel now != price of fuel in a month (! is 'not' for those unfamiliar with coding)

So can someone please tell me how is the MPG standard vague and the MPD is a "remorseless measuring stick"?

Stupid asshats...

More Polls

More B.S. and coming from San Fransisco, it has to be organic.

Polls and predictions for Super Tuesday

After New Hampshire, I wonder how people can take poll seriously?

Piss off!

So I stopped by the office yesterday's afternoon to get some work done so I would be able to be "free" on Saturday. I noticed that the market next door was way too crowded with people who were just "chilling" out there. You know, talking on the phone, drinking tea, smoking cigarettes, etc.. And there from my office window, I notice that they have turned one of the walls across the street into a public urinal. People were just stopping, unzipping, pissing, and then moving on. Whats up with that?!!

"If You Have No Shame, Do Whatever You Wish"

What is this woman thinking?

Her children, who are 80, 74 and 62 have been supportive of their mum baring all for a good cause, she said.

She has lived in Ancaster since 1933, and retired as the village's postmistress at age 72, after 35 years on the job, according to the newspaper.

Can't imagine the wrinkles... Pukes

Update: And in the other side of the world, more random shit happens as one dude, decided to marry his own daughter. Like Muslims didn't have enough bad PR already...

"He is a deeply religious man and will never lie in the name of Allah," Sakina told a court in the northern district of Jalpaiguri.

"I agreed to his marriage with our eldest daughter when he invoked divine sanction," she said.

Beyotch Please!

The Marathon Can Wait

Long story short:

Dude. My travel plans to Singapore got shot down miserably. First my work didn't allow me to be gone on race weekend. Second, the whole visa issuing process turned into a pain in the ass. I was supposed to go to Dubai because there is no embassy in Doha and the consulate would take a week to issue me a visa. I couldn't stay in Dubai for a week with all of the projects I got at work just to wait for my passport. Anyhow, good luck out there.
I will be in Malaysia on the 8th, so if there is a chance of you being there, lets catch up.

What a crazy world we live in...

At least 22 dead in Va. Tech shooting rampage

Wow, I was going through my RSS feeds before going to bed as usual when I saw this news headline. It is a sad day for all, and my heart goes to the families and loved ones of those students.

What pisses me off is that as many universities, VA Tech probably doesn't allow students to have firearms on campus including their dormitories. Which implies students are defenseless. People have firearms to defend themselves against ass-hats with firearms. The number of causalities could have been a lot less if students had means of self defense.

Don't watch this movie

Don't Watch this Movie

Word.

What a pile of crap...

So I finished watching Babel, and was I disappointed... This movie is the biggest pile of cow crap stacked in 2 hours and 14 minutes, the story was lame, the acting was boring, and the style of connecting stories as if this was Syriana just doesn't work.
I am not sure if the whole point of showing the stories is supposed to trigger emotions of compassion to people with disabilities, sheep herders in the middle of the north African desert, or illegal aliens trying to cross the border to continue on with their lives? There are two things I am sure about after watching this movie:

1. There is no limit to human stupidity,
2. Behind every crappy situation, there was a pea-brain involved.

Spoiler Warning: Don't continue to read if you plan to watch this crap.

1. Kids are kids, but kids also know that shooting live ammo into moving vehicles is a stupid idea. One died, natural selection at its finest. You have to feel sorry for the dad though, another example of why people should use birth control...

2. Just because you are deaf, that doesn't mean it is okay to do drugs and get naked in front of cops... I am sure her mom committed suicide because she realized how stupid her daughter was.

3. If you know that you have a trip that involves multiple police check points, don't get drunk. If you are drunk and operating a vehicle, you deserve a cap busted up yours.

4. Since when having an exotic vacation is an excuse to leave your kids at home with a baby sitter? That is not parenting, and what happened to Brad Pitt and his wife is Karma... Just ask Earl.

5. Don't blame God or Language barriers for your misfortunes, shit happened because you're stupid.
