Everybody knows (or should know) what a workaholic is. In short, a person who cannot seem to do anything besides work.
Now, that might seem interesting and you may admire those persons for their dedication, but rest assured, there is nothing to admire here. A person that is obsessed with its work or is always feeling [...]

Family Guy Rant
I never looked at Family Guy because it was a clever show. Not even remotely. I looked at it because it was dumb. Dumb humor and dumb subjects. I couldn’t say that I enjoyed it as much as other TV shows I watched, but I guess it was okay. It was okay until they completely [...]

Trash
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 [...]

On Human Stupidity
This post is not going to be easy to digest so if you don’t want to ruin your day please don’t read it.
The topic is human stupidity and how people can be easily manipulated to do whatever you need them to. The lame part is that usually this is masked under some charity work that [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Deadliest Warrior
Lately I’ve been watching The Deadliest Warrior on spike.com. The show is kind of interesting and reminds me about another show I used to watch: Battle of the Beasts.
Basic idea is to answer a question like: between a pirate and a ninja who would win a fight? Now, the creators of the show cannot simply [...]

On New Year’s Resolutions
I ranted before about New Year’s Resolutions and how lame it seems to me to set some goal at this point in time each year just because everybody else is doing it. Also it’s well known that most of those goal will go down the drain very fast so…
Today’s annoyance is related to one of [...]

‘Experts’
I like people who know what they are talking about. People who can teach you a thing or two if you have the time and can read between the lines.
On the other hand, I don’t like people who can do one thing right in their area of expertise and think that this entitles them to [...]

Do you know what “to google” means?
Once again, a wonderful story about human interaction, this time with someone in the leasing office of the apartment complex I live in.
Couple of days ago, I got a bill [water and sewer] and after a short decision making process I ‘decided’ I should pay it. Easier said than done. I had, of course the [...]

Driving skills
Do you know someone who has really bad driving skills? Someone you’re afraid to get in the cat with, if he/she is driving? Of course you do. Everybody knows someone like that. This person I’m talking about not only cannot pay attention to everything that happens on the road – or maybe I just have [...]

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 [...]

Non news
These days I remembered why I don’t have a TV (and watch my favorite shows either online or on DVD). The reason is called ‘the news’. From any point you look at it, you would want that, by watching the news, to learn something useful or something that would/could impact you in some way. But [...]

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 [...]
