Theoretical Physicists Should Run The World

If we find politicians boring and confusing to listen to. Then what type of person would bore and confuse politicians? Theoretical Physicists of course! Michio Kaku, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Stephen Hawkins, and many more Theoretical Physicists are so vital to our human race.  They are well-known modern philosophers, educating and inspiring people of all ages and backgrounds.

Pimp My Cube Contest Ends Soon!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Contest Factory. All opinions are 100% mine.

Do you have the worst cube in the nation?  Is your desk lacking necessary components to complete your daily work responsibilities? Does your chair have only two out of four wheels, torn fabric and no ergonomic support?  Does your computer have a five inch floppy drive bay, Pentium II 233MHz chip, 50MB of hard drive space, and a 13” CRT Monitor?  You poor soul.  The folks at Contest Factory feel horrible for you and have given you the chance to “Pimp” your cube!

More Robots Please!



I have disappointed you all.  I haven’t talked about robots and the future enough.  The fact is it’s 2012 and I don’t have my robot helper yet, so it makes me sad to talk about it.  But I should man up and deal with it because I have no one to blame but myself.  I could’ve tried harder in school and possibly gotten myself into MIT.  Then I’d be building robots for the advancement of human kind.  But I didn’t so now I’ll just talk about it and motivate my kids to pursue that goal.

The Devil Inside Beats Tom Cruise

The Devil Inside distributed by Paramount Insurge is now number one in U.S. Box Office sales.  And it beat out the 4th Mission Impossible movie franchise.  This is a big deal.  Two things are now fact: Mission Impossible is no longer popular and people like to be scared sh*tless!

Walgreens Needs Our Help!

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Walgreens. All opinions are 100% mine.

When you visit a Broadway play many things are happening off stage to make the show successful.  Lighting, sound, makeup, props etc. all things are necessary to a play.  Walgreens works in the same way.  Not only is Walgreens a great place to get seasonal sweets.  But for many Walgreens serves the most important role with their pharmacy.  Walgreens Pharmacy has a contract with Express Scripts Inc. to help supply additional clients include the military fill their prescriptions.  The contract deadline has passed and no resolved negotiation has taken place.  Walgreens need your help to convince Express Scripts to stay with Walgreens.

Anger will get you no where

I will try to make this as short as possible.  Back in 2006, my wife and I tried to sign up for a family plan on AT&T.  They said sure, but my wife had a out of state number so they wouldn’t let us get the family plan.  So I told the guy in the store that no where in writing does it say you can get a family plan only with in state numbers.  So we called corporate, explained the situation and corporate said, we’re sorry currently it’s a software limitation.  I politely said, “No problem just adjust our bills temporarily until the software is updated to accommodate us.”  They refused.  I got pissed.  I raised my voice in the store.  I spent fifteen minutes saying as your paying customer you are not allowing me to opt into this plan which is available to all AT&T customers with no conditions.  That statement got me no where.  So I asked for the guy’s supervisor.  I proceeded to explain everything again to the supervisor and he just said sorry, software limitation.  So I asked for his supervisor, which led to the same outcome.  Then asked for his supervisor, same story.  I moved up their manager ladder two more times, and got the name/number/address of the vice president of something or other and was ready to write a letter of complaint.  Later that night, I was so furious but kept my letter professional and to the point.  After all that, I’m not sure what happened to my determination but I just gave up and decided not to send the letter.  I had no idea I could’ve actually sued AT&T for discrimination and reported them to BBB.  Still to this day I don’t know why I didn’t mail the complaint letter.  Also it’s crazy how terrible the customer service was and how many managers (a lot of unnecessary managers) were willing to pass me around the loop as if it was a game of hot potato.

Why Buy when you can Stream?

Netflix got it right.  Their marketing was terrible in 2011, probably due to some over cockiness.  I’m in a very delicate process of letting go some of my treasured dvd’s.  I guess when new technology comes in you gotta replace the old with the new (VHS to DVD to Blu-Ray).  A lot of my dvd’s were bought before I got married so I’d like think I worked hard to buy them full price on new Tuesday release day.  I’m not gonna cry but it’s very hard letting them go.
