We all know that keeping the environment we live in clean is everyone’s responsibility. What most people seem to forget is that it takes very little to litter compared to the time needed to clean it up. Back in Romania it was almost impossible not to see litter almost anywhere: on the streets, in the [...]

Dodge: The Wimp’s Car
Take a look at this Dodge ad (if you didn’t see it during the Super Bowl or on recently on Hulu):
What is wrong with the marketing people from Dodge? Who would want to buy/drive a Dodge Charger after seeing this pathetic commercial that seems to be the malefic creation of a zealous feminist? Is happiness [...]

Fantastic Mr. Fox
First, watch the trailer here: http://www.imdb.com/video/imdb/vi2620588569/
Now that you saw the trailer, couple of questions:
How can your life be fantastic if your neighbors are not fantastic? I mean, something being fantastic basically means that it is perfect. If something disturbs this, it’s not fantastic.
Another thing, if Mr. Fox’s life is fantastic, why do they feel the [...]

Taboo – American Health System
Introduction here: http://theromaniandream.com/blog/2009/07/17/taboo/
Today’s topic: American Health System
To put it short the system is as crappy as it seems viewed from outside the US. Even crappier.
Health care is a business in the US. It’s not about the patient anymore. It’s about the profits of the Health Care “Provider”. Anything and everything will be done to save [...]

Who would want to watch this dumbed down version of Big Brother? And Big Brother was a dumb show to start with. 3 f’n million viewers per episode.

Park it like a car
Today’s “praises” go to one of my lovely neighbors who although has a motorcycle, chooses to park in a car spot. He also chooses to park it badly too. Every time you pull in in the spot near his precious bike you’re afraid that you’ll knock it down. To add insult to injury his bike [...]

The Uber Auto Insurance
These are some tough times we’re going through. At least that’s what the media is telling us, constantly fueling the panic.
In this sea of bad things and unhappy people, saving money seems like the only logical thing you can try to do to survive. One of the big expenses you have each month is the [...]

Networking
I was returning to work from my lunch break when I noticed that a big guy was walking by my side. This is not a crowded area so you can imagine the uneasiness I felt seeing this big, bearded guy that looked like a biker walking so close to me.
But it was ok. He was [...]

Gift Cards
It’s almost the season to be jolly. And give and receive presents like there’s no tomorrow.
Of course, everybody’s business around here is to be busy or look busy and to inspire workaholic feelings to everyone around (and I’m not just talking about high payed persons – if you talk to anybody they will tell you [...]

Country Parenting Fail
So, I am riding along in my uber car, listening to 100.7 – The Wolf. I might have mentioned a couple of times that I like country music. Anyway, as my life goes and the wheels of my car rub against the asphalt a song comes on the radio. The rhytm is pretty good, until [...]

Ikea Shmikea
We’ve all heard about Ikea, right? That cool place that has every type of furniture you could possibly want, the place that you can help you save money and time, the place where hipsters just hang out and normal people ‘hike’ to relax… I know people back in Romania who have drove hundred of miles [...]

Bodies
As I was saying a couple of days on twitter I was curios to go and see the Bodies exhibition.
One might find the thought of going to an exhibition which focuses on real human bodies and bodies parts a bit… hmm, how to put it? Let’s say that they wouldn’t go if you gave them [...]

Bills, bills, bills…
So, you know that cliche you see in some American movies: somebody is really angry when he gets a bill? Angry as in pulling his own hair out angry or beating the postman who brings the bills angry. Some might say that this is an exaggerated reaction. It’s almost like those people are irritated at [...]

The “I’m Better Than You” Syndrome
Have you ever had someone look down on you? Someone who only talks to you or stands your presence because it’s their job? I’m sure you have. You don’t have to admit it.
Have you ever considered yourself better than other people? Of course you did. It’s human nature. Did you act like it? [...]

Basically chilling stories about some poverty in today’s US. About what you have to put up if you’re unfortunate enough
I hope that things turn up okay for the author.
