People that hover at the #gym

Don't ya just want to smash those people that hover over you while you're doing sets on a machine.  They are not even serious work out people it's just they've got it in their little minds that your on their machine and their working a circuit so you are in their way.  They don't even ask if they can work in.  They just stand and hover and stare.  Yesterday this girl stood with her hands on her hips like OMG will you ever get off the machine.  Now if you do that do me it just motivates me to do more sets slowly at a heavier weight.  Damn my legs hurt today but she was really pissed.  And of course I left the pin at the higher weight.  And to make things worse I didn't spray and wipe.  I bring a towel and had the towel on the machine.  So next time you want to use a machine trying asking if you can work in.  Don't ask that stupid question, "Are you done?"  No I'm resting between sets you doofus.   It's time for people to learn gym etiquette.   If you are a regular you acknowledge the other regulars.  It's not an invite for a social gathering unless you actually know me.  And guys don't stare it's rude.  Bring a freaking towel they cost a dollar at Wal-Mart,  Stop wasting those paper towels.  And if you must spray don't over spray that crap is watered down so much I don't think it kills anything.  Build up your immune system take some vitamins.   And for goodness sake put the weights back when you are done.  Ladies leaving the 5lb dumb bell in the middle of the gym makes you the dumb bell.  If you have to drop the weights it's too heavy for you and no one is impressed.  Unless your a professional body builder all that yelling and grunting is totally unnecessary and just proves you don't know how to breath properly.   If you see someone on a bench don't stand in front of them so you can see yourself in the mirror.  It's not there for to pose it's there for you to check your form and make sure you are doing the exercise correctly.  

This is all very serious especially this part,  wash your damn clothes.  No they do not look better and damn they stink as do you.   Now stop talking on your phone, and if you must take it outside I'm focused on my jams and concentrating on not dropping the weights on your stupid iPhone.

Now go have a good workout.

Will the Democrates re-elect Trump?

Will the Democrates re-elect Trump?  It's an odd questions will the opposition get the resident president re-elected but the way things are going it will probably just happen.  Joe is the one of the oldest candidates with Bernie leading the age pack.  It's a strange world we live in, where a giant pervert that sits around playing with his phone all day is leading one of the most power nations on earth.  Certainly there is a sinister plot at work probably Putin to destabilized America.   Looks like it's happening to the UK also.  Instead of focusing on global warming and feeding the people the tyrants are out stealing everyone's money and driving the planet into oblivion.   If you think I'm crazy they why is that Musk guy so hell bent on getting to mars or anyplace he get off this rock.
Live while you can the future is an illusion, sorry to disappoint.  I fear we might be doomed if this guy stays in office.

Microsoft Blows Chunks

The end of the Windows 10 phone is closing in on us.  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4485197/windows-10-mobile-end-of-support-faq

It's like getting punched in the throat, you spend a ton of money on a phone then they drop it after making all kinds of advertising claims.  It was even the go to phone on Hawaii Five Oh so for a while it was cool.  But then they tucked tail and ran because they couldn't or wouldn't compete with Android and those Apples in their New Balance.

I think Microsoft should reimburse everyone who bought one of their phones looking forward to all the great things they promised.  Now they want you to install a ton of their apps on your Android and Apple phones to pretend you still have a Microsoft phone.

I'm buying my next laptop without an OS and installing Ubuntu.  I'm going to punch Microsoft in the throat and see how they like it.  Lower their overinflated stock

Walmart to raise prices

Extra Extra read all the BSart

Walmart says higher tariffs on China goods will increase prices for U.S. shoppers, what it should say is Trump is trying to recover the lost income from the tax breaks he gave himself.

Walmart said the company will also try to obtain products from different countries and work with suppliers to blunt the impact of higher tariffs.  I'll bet once WalMart and many others raise their prices that even if the tariffs go back downt the prices will stay high with the excuse they bought them at higher prices.  Which would be a big lie.

The higher tariffs have barely been applied, the merchandise that will garner the higher tariffs have not even reached the shelfs, but Walmart is already chompping at the bite to raise prices.  Already publishing the punishing news that prices will go up. 

Will I pay more for only goods from China?  or will they distribute the cost increase across the board?  Can I avoid goods made in China?  I bought a TV from Samsung it says assembled in Mexico,  what tariff do I pay? It's probably filled with parts from China.   

Let's ask the big question,  when is something made in China?  when is made someplace else?  Will China try Transhipping?   I'll bet you all thought this was simple just don't buy things from China.  Who goes to jail if they are Transhipping?     Do you know why Trump's red ties are so long?  It's because his factory in China saw him and they thought making them long would be a good thing.  So Trump ended up with a ton of ties that are too long.  We call those IR's like Trump they are Irregular.

Walmart said the company will also try to obtain products fr

What's a Tariff and how will it affect you

Tariff is very simply a tax on goods being brought into a country.  The importer (receiver) pays the tax when items arrive at your country.  So a Tariff from China means that when China ships something to you and it arrives you pay the tax to Customs.  That cost gets passed on to you the consumer.   Now remember the cost of the item has gone up,  this means the sales tax you pay will go up too.  So really you are getting double taxed.
Will your things go up 25% if made in China?  The answer is NO!  Most companies will spread the cost increase out amongst all the items they sell.  This won't eliminate the cost increase but it will keep it from looking worse than it is.
If I've lost you at this point feel free to write me and I'll see if I can clarify.

But what about China's tax on US goods?  yes they will have to pay which means they will just buy from someone else as we will buy from other countries.
The joke is on Trump and the pain is on America, many of the companies in other countries are owned by China.   So China will produce more off shore too.  They are very flexible like that.
Example.  I just bought a TV assembled in Mexico from a company in Korea made with Chinese parts.  Still with me?

Why is Trump doing this?  Very simply put it's called Insider Trading.  If you know what the market will be doing before it does it that's called insider trading.  If you manipulate the stock it's called "Stock Manipulation" just another crime for Trump.  So if I cause the price of Soy Beans to drop, then run out and buy stock that's illegal.

Are we good so far?  Bottom line we pay more tax......

Blogging about Blogging

Today I got an email that wanted to tell me about things I should do in order to blog.  Okay so looking for ways to improve my blog I went, and was bombarded with ads for blogging, where to blog, what to write and how to write it.  I learned something very important especially about my blog which is a special blog.  See my blog is not about what you might think, what you might want it to be.  It's about what's on my mind at the moment.  And being tricked into going to blog that just hammers you with popups and other obnoxious forms of advertising well that's what's on my mind.

This blog may never be famous, but it lets me get off what's on my mind and what's left of it.  What you won't find here is advise on how to blog.  If you want to blog then just do it.  Someone will find it interesting,  some will find it annoying, others will just post troll messages trying to pick a fight.  I guess that's what Trolls do.  They live under bridges and poke at you from time to time just being annoying.  #sex,  I stick that in to see how many times my blog will get noticed since I mentioned #sex.  Now that I've got the blogger thing out of my system I guess I can just continue on and write about anything no matter if it's important.

I would however like to write about time travel next, and discuss if we go back in time what would I be doing instead of this?  Imagine if I don't like my story I can just start over.

Again I have no idea where this blog is going but I'm hanging on tight.

Planet insanity

Over the past few months I've been over whelmed by global insanity.  America has lost it's mind the president of the US of hey is causing all sorts of mayhem with his Twitter posts.  Sometimes I wonder if he understands that he's the leader of a country and not the host of a reality TV show.  It's pretty scary to know that man has his finger on the trigger.  My position on this is to build a bunker and hide but to what end.  How long can one live underground and do I even want to see the world again after it's destroyed by a large orange man with a tanning fetish.

Imagine if the world leaders stopped posturing for power and focused on doing their jobs for the people and not for themselves?  Utopia?  I would settle for peace.

It's been a long time since last I posted but I'm feeling the urge to write again.   Soon very soon.

Hello Today

Sorry I haven't written recently I've been busy I'll be back with something profound very soon.

I've been busy

If I posted all the time you would get used to it and expect it.  I've been busy so shoot me.

Are you feeling invisible?

Come the holiday season many people feel invisible.  It's like no one sees you.  You walk into a store and nobody asks if you would like help finding something.  You go to a family gathering and might as well not be there.   Or you just feel that way all the time?
No I'm not going to sell you a bunch of self help books.  I don't have any. 
What I do have is a very small bunch of simple things you can try to become visible.  Let the world notice you. 
Hit the barber shop, beauty salon.  You need to look good to feel good.  Invest a few bucks in your appearance.
Some nice clothes,  no not your favorite T-shirt from a concert you went to with the date that dumped you. It could be a sport shirt get a nice bright color. NO not a navy blue.  How about a nice blue?  Stay away from muted colors or colors that make you look sick and washed out.  Peach is a bad color for white people.  Slacks guys not jeans, black or navy is fine but well pressed.  They should be the proper length and your butt crack and underwear should be covered properly.  I hope those undies are clean. 
Shoes, please not your favorite pair of broken in boat shoes, or your Air Jordan's.  Get a nice pair of casual shoes not clown shoes.   
Socks, don't forget socks.  I suggest new clean socks not the ones you pulled off the pile and sniffed.  Face it your probably nose blind.
Colognes or perfumes, should be light in color so they will be light in scent.  Now spray the air and walk into it. I said spray not a shower.   Something woodsy yes I know you like that over powering vanilla stuff but trust me you want a hint of scent you don't want to gag people.

Good your almost ready for a test drive, but we've got to do something about that posture.
Stop slouching stand up like a boss. Yes I said like a boss.  Enter a room pause don't stick your nose in the air just look around like you are the master/mistress of all that you survey.   Don't spend to much time doing this and don't be cocky about it either.  Remember your in control, just the right amount of confidence to project control.  Now coast into the room,  slide across the floor with control don't bounce on you toes.  Walk with purpose but not urgency.  Greet people with a gentle smile the day is yours and you know it. 

Practice, till you get the response it will come.  You can't rush it. 

You look marvelous and you feel better about yourself already. 

Say hello this holiday season

Take the time to say "Hello", or maybe even "Thank You" to someone this holiday season.  Unplug your earbuds and smile at someone and say hello.  Guys you could actually meet someone.  Just walk up and say "Hello my name is and I just want to wish you a happy holiday" smile when you say it then walk away.  You'd be amazed at how much you just made someone's day.  Sure there will be those that yell "Get away you creep" but say have a "nice day" and move on.  
Hold the door, and if the person doesn't say thank you just say "Your Welcome" don't forget to smile. Don't run around trying to hug people that really is creepy and could end up badly.

Just be nice to everyone this holiday season, it's weird but we need it. 

In light of the recent shootings I have an idea for drivers

In light of the recent shootings I have an idea for drivers.
How about changing the way we present the documents to a digital system? Something like a Toll Pass on the dash? You get into your car and you slip your electronic Id into the visor. The officer scans the id looks at your face for a match all while you hold on to the steering wheel. Then an electronic ticket is sent to you. Nobody died in the writing of this post.

Look it's not very personal but it would cut down on the officers fears and the drivers would feel more secure too and won't get dragged out of the car unless the cop has a really good excuse like a dash cam video of you weaving in and out of traffic over the speed limit.

As long as the driver matches the photo from the electronic Id there should be no reason to drag him/her out of the car if all the things match up and are in order.

Lets take it one more step,  you need to plug your device in once a week so it gets up dated and verified.

Okay that's my suggestion for today.  I'll try to have another idea soon.

The Wild West

I wonder why other countries are trying to blow up Americans?  Americans seem to be doing quite a good job of blowing themselves up these days. 

It's like they can't go to the bathroom without a gun.  It's my biggest fear is to die while taking a crap and go with my pants around my ankles before I get a chance to wipe.  It's just crazy everyone and anyone can get a gun go out and shoot people.  Okay true the police will come and shoot you or blow you up with a robot but you got your "Gun Off".  

I'm basically confused why people feel the need to shoot each other.  Is there some cheap thrill in watching someone drop?  You realize there is no reset button.  If you shoot people some of them will shoot back at you.  Usually the police do this.  recently they used a robot and just let it blow the guy up.  So lets see one gunman takes on a police force of 59,000?  not really good odds.  He didn't go in peace he left in pieces.  Did you notice that after these gun nuts are killed they all have physic logical problems?  They probably did. 

Hi honey I'm going out for some milk and shoot a few neighbors.   Yep they crazy no question about it. 

So look if your goal in life is to be blown up do it yourself in a corner someplace that you won't hurt others.  I see no need to take others with you.  Really we don't want to join you.  Your on your own on this one..

Those damn Cookies

European Union laws require you to give European Union visitors information about cookies used on your blog. In many cases, these laws also require you to obtain consent.

Why do I have to tell people in Europe about cookies on my site?  are they such pussies that they can't handle a few good cookies?  Now that the UK has left the EU do I still have to tell them?

Mr. Robot

My favorite show Mr. Robot is on again I hope your all watching it.  I know it's a bit strange and not what you actually expected. 
Is what is happening in that show real or possible?  Maybe and probably but most likely.
Are you in danger of getting infected?  Probably.
Is there anything you can do to prevent it?  Yes don't open the email mail that says you won the Nigerian Lottery.  You didn't go to Nigeria did you?  did you buy a lottery ticket?  so then how could you win the lottery?  if you open it or send someone money then you deserve to get infected.
The best way to protect yourself from getting infected is unplug the computer and sink it in a block of cement.   Let the cement dry then toss it into the ocean and make a reef.  The fish will love you.

I suggest you all stock up now on essentials.  Most of you don't know how to survive without the internet for more than a few minutes anyhow.  Those of us that are older remember what live was like before the internet.  We used to talk to each other face to face.  It's pretty scary but we survived. 

I have to go now and unplug stuff around the house.  I'm worried they will hack my toaster and make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches without me knowing and then I'd be stuck with all those sandwiches.  I like PB&J but I can only eat so much which means I'd have to give away a lot of sandwiches which might not be a bad thing. 

Oh and if you have a smart TV I wonder who is watching who?

America's political Joke on the world

A big retarded nation is about to vote for a new political leader and all of them are damaged goods except one and unfortunately he's not leading to get the nomination.
Let's look at Donald Trump okay you really don't have to physically look at him but examine what he's done.  He's proved that the media is his puppet and the mass population is hypnotized by their media be it TV or smart phone or what ever sources they get information from.  He spews nonsense, does unreasonable things and everyone just goes "Oh it's just Donald, so it's okay", and then he wins. tell me that's not messed up.  I don't think he ever thought he would get this far.  Any descent candidate never even got close to being nominated.  Then there was Ted Cruz this is anomaly of unexplainable proportions. The man has done nothing for the last 8 years, caused the shut down of the government at a cost of 42 billion dollars.  Runs around waving the bible like he actually believes it and people keep re-electing him.  I sincerely think there is something in the drinking water.

As for Hillary Clinton, the closest she should ever get near the White House again is as a tourist. This is nothing more than an opportunist looking for the Oval Office. The only reason she moved to NY was because they had the shortest residency requirements.  Voting for her because of her gender is crazy at best. As any of her supporters what she's done to deserve the office and none of them can tell you a single thing she's accomplished. No she did not get health care approved, she tried but not even close. People were more concerned with who Bill was sleeping with and the answer was everyone except Hillary. 

That leaves us with Bernie Sanders. I got nothing bad to say about this guy except he should have run as an independent.  His career might not be stellar but he's stuck to his principals his entire life.  Folks like to call him a "Socialist" like it's a bad thing but really it's not.  If you look at America it's a Socialist Democracy.  We have tons of social programs starting with 'Social Security', police, fired, schools, public works and the list goes on.  All those things you love and take for granted are social programs. But it's not free and the next time some rich person tells you Social Security is free remind them you paid for that your whole life and now it's your turn to get some.

I have to get back to work now so just save my space or add your comments.

Australia no more shrimp on the barbie

Recently a story ran about the destruction of reefs in Australia caused by global warming and bleaching of the reefs.  Bleaching is when the reefs die because the temperature of the water is too high.  The reef turns white then dies.  If you should be fortunate enough to go diving or snorkeling then you would see this first hand.  Seeing it on a video really does not instill the death and destruction occurring.  There is no color no life on the reef.  It's like being in a cemetery. The government of Australia does not want the UN to label this a problem because it would cost them a loss of money in tourism.  Maybe they should think what happens if it dies. 

In 1986 I met a professer that was at the UNESCO confrence being held in Indonesia. He said they were there to have a confrence on the enviornment so I told him about the bleaching on the reefs back then that was 30 years ago. I suggested he go diving and see it first hand. I doubt he ever did. Now they are talking more about it having another confrence and making statements and no one is doing a damn thing. The world is full of brilliant people that know how to write a paper and have a confrence and give a lecture. A massive useless bunch of brain power. Those willing to do something just can't seem to gain traction in this world. I'm sorry so many will never see the beauty of the seas. I urge everyone to get out and go diving and see it first hand. It's like being witness to a mass grave. I would cry but it causes my mask to leak.

If you care go dive or snorkel share what see.

Revols earbuds a scam or a jam?

I've seen lots of stuff about these so called wonder earbuds called Revols with the magic ear tips that fit to your ear with an app.   You can see more about them here.  https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/revols#/
The Revols people seem to be doing a lot of traveling on investor money and I have not seen any reviews on this product.  I have not heard anyone at Onkyo indicate they are involved in the product.
I'm just saying is all.  It would be nice to see some prototypes, samples, an update on the product progress.  Or was this a venture capitol tech project that is going to fade away with our money?
Some projects seem to good too be true.  Is this one of those?

Trump Vs. Female Reporter

As almost everyone knows Jeremy Clarkson grabbed a female reporter named Michelle Fields.
I've seen the video as many of you have but I wonder was she getting too close to Mr. Trump?  Was he really so rough with her?  Who violated who's space?   Or is this all a big deal so Ms. Fields can get her 15 minutes of fame?  She had an altercation with a celebrity back in 2011 which landed her a spot on FOX news.  And those bruises on her arm are no worse than I get from a day working in the yard.  It's on video he grabbed her no doubt,  but it was clearly to pull her away.   A low level reporter trying to make a name for herself at the expense of a controversial candidate?
I agree Trump is far from saint hood and has a trash mouth,  but in all fairness was this really such a big deal?  or is Ms. Fields just fishing for her 15 minutes of fame?
