I figured out the secret, and it partially explains why idiots make great workers. If you don't think and just do, you can get a lot done. I am going to apply that today and see how much gets done. I did it last night trying to fall asleep. I am usually a rough sleeper but by thinking about nothing (for once) I fell asleep in a few minutes. Nice!<br /><br />Ignorance is bliss, I guess. Hopefully it is success too.

One thing we noticed was that he talked a lot about nothing. This is one thing the Packers seem to be doing lately- talking a lot about nothing. So, without further ado, I present a dialogue about nothing:<br /><br />Clearly, what the world needs most today isn't an obvious solution. The key, simply, is to make do with what there is, but in the end, make it better and bigger, geater, and stronger, unless of course it needs to be smaller or faster, in which case make it so, but I think the main thing is that it really needs to be the solution that best offers gains for our problems and reaches to the most general solution possible. Thats what the idea is.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123358938927399339.post-42163757718048555922009-06-02T14:03:00.000-07:002009-06-02T14:04:57.481-07:00Printable Tattoo Designs Onlinehttp://arcsin.t35.com/printabletattoodesignsonline/index.html<br /><br />Thats my new site for printable tattoo designs online!

This time it is starbucks.<br /><br />Okay, well, you gotta look at what's going on. I'd much rather have starbucks go out of business than some place like McDonald's. Why? Well, it shows people aren't idiots. In fact, Mickey D's could have even received a boost from the poor economy.<br /><br />It is because people (hopefully) are using sense when spending (well, relatively speaking). Starbucks is posh and grossly overcharges (well it is good coffee...) and people used to buy it. But now people are poor and can't afford to indulge, so what is first to go? The expensive stuff. Like Domino Magazine. Now it's starbucks. Following this trend, what are some other companies I wouldn't be surprised to see fail? Remember, mass workforce + everyday high prices = employee layoffs.<br /><br />Outback Steakhouse<br />Dillard's <br />Sony<br /><br /><br />Hmm we need a list. So I'll update this and start an official list somewhere.

Duh, its like 4 bucks a day. Make your own crappy coffee at home.<br /><br />2) Stop getting midday lunches from restaurants. Duh, its like 7 bucks a day. Make your own crappy lunch at home.<br /><br />3) Take advantage of free things. This can include coupons and websites. Google "free stuff" and you'll get a long list of things.<br /><br />4) Drive a cheaper car. This one is important. If you're trying to show off, that's retarded. Because if you ever meet someone this way by showing off, they'll be that much more disappointed to find out you are a fraud.<br /><br />5) Don't buy things you can't afford. What the heck. Debt? Lots and lots of debt? If you have to go into credit card debt to buy some stuff at Target, you're spending too much, chances are.<br /><br />There, now you can live as the cheapest family in America. Remember rule 5 especially.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123358938927399339.post-26995841774907118392009-01-28T14:11:00.000-08:002009-01-28T14:15:01.760-08:00FOX NEWS and Jessica Simpson's WeightWhy is this even a story? Who cares? Blah blah blah.<br /><br /><br />Jessica Simpson gained weight big whoop. She may have not even done so. Doesn't matter at all in the grand scheme of things now does it?<br /><br />Now, if this is true, it would be the second actress that FOX news has pissed off recently, after Bill OReilly called Jessica Alba a stupid person or something. Now, lets look at that argument.<br /><br />1) Jessica Alba seems to be one of the more articulate actresses. She is not a dumbass slut either. Seems to point towards intelligence.<br /><br />2) Bill OReilly makes up crap and frequently fails (at least he did when I used to watch him like 5 years ago, which by no means is guaranteed to still be accurate.)<br /><br />But stuff like this gets ratings.

People have gotten impressed by it or something and have wanted to find out more.<br /><br />I like it whenever google alters its website. Whoever they are pimping gains a lot of publicity, since google is basically the master of the internet. Everything revolves around them. So it should be no surprise that today, Jackson Pollack is a popular thing.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123358938927399339.post-72992008001464438822009-01-28T13:55:00.000-08:002009-01-28T13:59:23.967-08:00sh Limbaugh and DCCCGood old Rush Limbaugh. You know, everyone hates on him and most people have never actually listened to him. He is the person that the democratic party has made to epitomize the evil, greedy republican.<br /><br />And you know what, most of the democratic braintrust does their evil under the table, slyly serpentining through the dark.<br /><br />So I don't really see the problem. Rush Limbaugh crashed the DCCC website by calling for people to all hit it up at once. Smart plan, but wont help him gain any points from the people who already hate him.<br /><br />That is important. So many first impressions of people do them in. It sucks really, but it is the truth.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123358938927399339.post-81990532175728691192009-01-28T13:49:00.000-08:002009-01-28T13:55:31.924-08:00Domino MagazineOkay, this, to me at least, is one of those "duh" moments.<br /><br />I have discovered that Domino magazine is a home shopping magazine about style.<br /><br />Home, shopping, style.<br /><br />Okay that is a list of three things that all have, coincidentally, gone out of style.<br /><br />Come on. We are in a recession for crying out loud. Technically dominoes are affected as well. Magazines are too.

Every soccer mom out there searches about 10 times a minute for school closings and the like.<br /><br />WFAA is the local Dallas weather channel. It is a popular search. The McKinney School District closing is a popular search. Dallas roads is popular right now. All top 20 stories for today.<br /><br />So I'll give some free advice, money back guaranteed: Don't drive on icy roads. <br /><br />Also, I feel compelled to mention that Dallas almost never closes its schools.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123358938927399339.post-12520182434660376782009-01-27T11:57:00.000-08:002009-01-27T12:00:39.863-08:00California OctupletsAnother day, another octuplet of kids.<br /><br />This, to me, is a boring story that I would never try to gather scoop about. Why?<br /><br />Who gives a shit? It isn't the first time that 8 kids have been born at once. It isn't like they did something special to try to pop out a bunch of children. What should happen is that people will likely flock to their aid and raise some money for the costs of raising them and hiring a nanny or two. Same old story. See I already predicted what was gonna happen.<br /><br />But good luck to everyone involved anyways.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123358938927399339.post-60978912944145985192009-01-27T11:49:00.000-08:002009-01-27T11:56:51.229-08:00Fedex Plane Crashes In TexasDamn. I was really hoping to receive my next issue of sports illustrated. It was the coveted snowsuit edition... (props to sportspickle)<br /><br />Anyways, a FedEx plane crashed in Texas as it was taking off. Both of the men inside were okay as they ran away from the mess. (I guess if there were a third person, it would be safe to assume he didn't make it out and that nobody would know...)<br /><br />So everyone is okay and stuff.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123358938927399339.post-77927143801830083652009-01-27T11:44:00.001-08:002009-01-27T11:48:47.946-08:00Target LayoffsTarget is in the news again. This time for more layoffs as the economy remains in a state of crappishness. <br /><br />It's kind of like the economy is in a state of going from CBS to UPN in terms of television selection, and right now it has descended to the WB (Or the CN or whatever the heck they call themselves now)<br /><br />It's not nearly as bad as they're making it out to be, but it is very bad compared to what it was just a year ago. <br /><br />Anyways, Target, the FOX of retail stores (gotta stick with the TV references. Target has a loyal fanbase but is not as established as places like Walmart), is firing people today, or so the rumor goes. No news yet of any official firings, but it is still a hot topic.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123358938927399339.post-67628258924774359812009-01-26T22:52:00.000-08:002009-01-26T23:05:05.489-08:00Intermittent Explosive DisorderHaha. I learn so much from doing this.<br /><br />Intermittent Explosive Disorder, or IED, is whenever someone just blows up in your face about some shit that doesn't matter.<br /><br />In other words, it is something that people who are in a bad mood do every single day.<br /><br />So it doesn't seem to me to be a disorder at all, then, kind of like ADD, which is just some way of telling someone they think a lot and need to release some energy. Here is an idea, elementary school teachers of the world: let the kids have recess. <br /><br />That will fix everything.<br /><br />EverythingNathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123358938927399339.post-66989533900954195372009-01-26T17:06:00.000-08:002009-01-26T17:11:07.038-08:00Super Bowl XLIII Start TimeThe NFL always likes to confuddle people like you and me. You'll never guess the start time for the 2009 Super Bowl. The Superbowl 2009 start time (hey gotta love keywords) is ...<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />...<br /><br /><br />...<br />6:18 PM Eastern. So thats 5:18 for central.<br /><br />Why an odd time? Who knows. It probably wont get started on time anyways, and once you figure in bruce springsteen's notoriously long performances where he talks about everything from his mother's pet chihuahua to quantum physics, the end time of the super bowl should be well into the next day.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123358938927399339.post-42368011509216628372009-01-26T17:00:00.000-08:002009-01-26T17:05:39.098-08:00Agape WorldAnother day, another ponzi scheme. Agape World is a company run by a man named Cosmos. It sucked in about $380 million from investors.<br /><br />Well, the question coming to my mind is, first of all, did he willingly surrender or did his company fail like Madoff's?<br /><br />See, maybe he decided to come clean when he realized the inevitable- that his scheme would fail.<br /><br />That's another reason why I would choose a different scam if I were a scammer. Think about it. Ponzi schemes require increasing inputs of money and you don't actually get to keep the cash you do have. You are essentially a huge middleman that doesn't get to keep anything. Plus, the constant lying alone would stop me from ever thinking of doing such a crime.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123358938927399339.post-33350868497924080642009-01-26T14:44:00.000-08:002009-01-26T15:00:44.889-08:00Monster Truck AccidentMonster Truck Rallies generally remind me of Ricky Bobby, only on steroids.<br /><br />I can't say I am a fan of these behemoth events. But whatever I don't really care.<br /><br />Anyways, the driver turned straight into his friend. They were both safety advocates so this is really unfortunate.<br /><br />And last week a six year old boy was struck in the head with some metal that flew off of a truck. It was fatal as well.

This is why people are searching for "Tulsa Weather" and "KOTV", which is a local news station.<br /><br />Snow is unusual in the south. Everyone knows that. But nobody really knows what to do in snow, because the general consensus is to shut everything down for a few days because by then the snow will have melted and everything will be okay.<br /><br />But people in the North have to use salt on the roads, have to schedule things around the ice, and they have to shovel it from their driveways several times a week.<br /><br />And that's why I'd rather live somewhere like Tulsa where, when the big bad snow comes, I can sit back and take a day off, make some hot cocoa, and relax.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123358938927399339.post-23291433302543140092009-01-26T13:01:00.000-08:002009-01-26T13:06:21.329-08:00Woodfield MallGood News for everyone in chicago worried about their lives while shopping at the woodfield mall- <br /><br />Nobody committed any crime, at least that's what the authorities are saying. So basically, someone did something suspicious or someone who had already committed a crime went into the mall for a quick hideout and police did not want to alarm anybody.<br /><br />But, since this has made national news, I'd say the bit about alarming people was a failure at best. <br /><br />But even so, it should be considered a success since no one was harmed and the local law enforcement did their jobs well.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123358938927399339.post-63423873976661913952009-01-26T12:56:00.000-08:002009-01-26T13:00:11.778-08:00Oprah and BlagojevichOkay, I have already made it clear that I think this Rod Blagojevich is the biggest scumbag this side of the Atlantic.<br /><br />But he is very shrewd and cunning. His latest ploy, like all of his others, is shameful at best. He decided to appeal to emotions by announcing his support of Oprah Winfrey for the US senate.<br /><br />Now, why would he share this nugget of information at this point? Well, he has no dignity and is pulling out all the stops to make it as hard as possible to be removed from office, in the public's eye at least.<br /><br />Asshole. This is only an attempt to make everyone feel sorry for him and look past his transgressions.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123358938927399339.post-3415914592140113832009-01-25T22:27:00.000-08:002009-01-25T23:41:06.038-08:00The Telling MovieHmmm. This one was hard to find out stuff about.<br /><br />The Telling (Movie) is about girls who pledge the cruelest sorority on campus and then shit happens or something. Whatever.<br /><br />I know I wont be watching it. But I'll put in my two cents anyway. It'll be a flop. Why?<br /><br />Well, it's about a sorority, for one. It's a horror film, which means it may be a bit frightening at points, but movies like prom night and unborn- movies with sex appeal and horror combined- haven't done well recently.<br /><br />I had not heard of it before today and probably wont again. And when I say flop, I mean relatively. I am sure it will outperform whichever lighthearted comedy is in theaters, but I don't expect it to be a classic like Saw or The Birds or, going into books even, a personal favorite of mine, And Then There Were None, which did get made into a film.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123358938927399339.post-78364833186577735152009-01-25T21:04:00.000-08:002009-01-25T21:11:18.893-08:00SirtrisEarlier we wrote about Resveratrol, the anti- aging chemical found in some red wines.<br /><br />Well now we'd like to talk about Sirtris, the company who apparently is researching wine for this kind of stuff.<br /><br />First off, the first thing I noticed was that the word "sirtris" is a palindrome.<br /><br />Okay, then I realized that this company is a great step towards something I had always thought was a good goal that Americans needed to reach for more often.<br /><br />So much is focused on diseases like cancer and AIDS. Heart disease is also a huge killer.<br /><br />No one it seems, has yet to put the greatest disease of all time into the public spotlight. It is the greatest killer, having killed nearly 100% of all people ever. It is called aging. <br /><br />People age. Well, most people age (some Biblical people did not, I think). But everyone around now ages. We get older. What if there was some way, say, by adding telomere segments to the end of shortening telomere chains, or inserting an entire cell's worth of youthful DNA taken from the patient at a young age, to stop aging?<br /><br />How great would that be, do you think?<br /><br />Well, Sirtris is a company looking at these kind of angles (by the way, those ideas I mentioned have probably been tried and failed, but at this level of science it is all about execution and refinement of these outlandish theories).Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123358938927399339.post-14013752904500701992009-01-25T20:59:00.000-08:002009-01-25T21:02:18.907-08:00Chapman KansasCommunity Makeover.

Anything with the word 'makeover' in it can't be all that great anyway.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01452774791613683976noreply@blogger.com0
