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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Taboo – Ugly Women
Introduction here: http://theromaniandream.com/blog/2009/07/17/taboo/
Today’s topic: Ugly Women/People
Hot topic today. We’re talking about being ugly and how you can solve this.
First of all, in the US only poor people are ugly. Yeah, it’s nasty… but that’s the way it is.
If you look, for example at people’s teeth you will see that almost everybody has perfect teeth.
And dental [...]

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 [...]

New Year’s Resolutions
So, a New Year begins. In the spirit of improving, almost everybody takes on some kind of New Year’s Resolution(s) for the new year. Something that will make them a better person, improve their lifestyle or the lives of those around them. See here:

List of popular resolutions:

To me it seems a bit lame to do [...]

Avatar
So I finally saw Avatar.
Seeing the movie started as an idea somewhere the previous week. We went to the cinema to find out that all the shows were sold out. Crap. With our lesson learned, the second time we bought the tickets online. We went to the cinema 1 hour before the movie started to [...]

The Wait
There were some times when The_Wait used to by the drive label for the E drive for my desktop computer. This was derived from a Metallica song (actually a cover) that you can listen to here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e8t2dJZRRW0
This is not about either of these. It’s about an actual wait in line at Best Buy. So it’s [...]
