You got zits??? Cry me a river!

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

I actually got an email from someone this last year asking me for help with their ’skin problem’. Personally I don’t consider shoving cheese doodles on your facial orifice something I can help with, but I’m always happy to oblige with telling people what to do.

1. Wash your face three times a day. Coincide it with the time you should be brushing those white things in your oral orifice.

2. Wash your hands 2o times a day. Be compulsive and count them out loud each time you go to the bathroom, singing ‘Happy Birthday’ twice each time while lathering. JUST DO IT!

3. Wash your mouse. No, not your ‘thing’ in front of your posterior orifice, the one on your computer.

4. Quit touching your face. I wouldn’t want to touch your face after you’ve been grabbing your mouse; or whatever; let alone…nevermind. Just stop it.

5. Proactiv acne cream: GET some! Slather it on. Feel it work. Become one with The Force. Wonder where the yellow went.

6.  Remember I love you unconditionally.  I just don’t love the thought of your hands and wherever they’ve been, so keep them off that face.

Reaching out when things are out of reach

Sunday, July 13th, 2008

Tomorrow night I’ve got plans of shadowing another outreach after work, after I pick up some shipping boxes. The problems I’ve seen over the last few months have only proven to me more that having faith others will do the right thing leads in many cases lost opportunities.

My wife spent some time the last few weeks touching base with a homeless teen known to our family that grew out of the homeless system while becoming a mother herself.

The thing that pains me the most is that we both know this person to be trying very hard, as well as some of the direct family makeup involved.

We know matters involving specifics, and we also know how easy it is for someone to fall between the cracks when not giving in to abusive authority figures.

When is enough, enough?

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

A man sells you a policy for life insurance. The value a determined amount, no checks on health, just good hard cash when someone kicks the bucket.

Maybe even borrow against it in time after there’s some maturity.

But how much is enough for a human life? I’ve always felt I’m worth more than $10,000,000.00 USD. I might not appear to be that worthy to someone else, but to me my life is.

Our Minds Can Wander

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

Sometimes when I’m sitting back thinking over the years about different computer systems I’ve seen come and go, it makes me realize we’re still in the dark ages of this young revolution.

It took years to go from a GUI created in DOS to WinX. It took how many versions since the first to see Vista. And it’s never good enough. One big marketing ploy.

The next generation will not rely on the Operating System, but rather the ability to view through browser technology across multiple platforms. For now we’ll still need to continue to pursue a memory upgrade every once in a while.

If you’re like me you prefer to put your blood, sweat and tears in the best buy possible. You don’t want second best. You want what’s your due!

Expect the same from service providers, no matter what the situation in your life. Don’t take mediocrity. Don’t accept half done work, no matter the intention.

You do it out of being nice, you’ll get used the next time…and it’ll be your own fault.

Investigate before you invest. Stand your ground while still standing in line.

.: Get gear that’s suitable for streets and ports

Friday, March 14th, 2008

I picked up on Briggs and Riley, a travel luggage company online portal, while I was doing a search on carry on luggage with wheels. During the first few weeks of experiencing homelessness our family used four as well as other items like roller racks that could hold two carryon’s stacked on each other.

The one thing I need to impress on anyone from direct experience is to check the wheel hardware of any luggage product you’re about to purchase, you want to make sure you’re getting solid wheels, not rubber with a plastic covering. You can usually tell if a wheel is the latter, by the seam that runs down the middle of the tread of the wheels. It’s usually a sign the outer part of the wheel was plastic molded in split pieces, with an inner rubber insert for strength.

With combined weight as well as repetitive use on asphalt, concrete, dirt, and puddles cheap wheels like described above will experience seperation between the plastic and inner rubber. The outer section then has the ability to spin, while the molded seam becomes weakened by strain from being compressed as well as being smashed by small pebbles under it’s weight.

What you can end up with are two halves seperated by a half inch gap that anything can become lodged in. Walk into a business with carpeting on a job interview and you’ll be tracking whatever you’ve been walking through that got stuck in it.

.: Lumping the load

Sunday, March 2nd, 2008

People wanting to leave island and hiring some movers New York sometimes think about paying a few guys sitting around a street corner, the ones always waving towels at tractor trailers or sitting on a small lunch cooler.

These are called ‘lumpers’. They usually get paid by the truckload and wait at interstate off ramps to flag truckers down, since the driver is usually responsible for offloading loads that fill his trailer too small to be palletized. Produce, smaller boxes stacked tight, or chemical tanks the size of beer kegs.
