You know what pisses me off. Wasting my time. It seems the Internet is becoming a waste of time. For instance, I tried installing Google Chrome. I filled out the necessary form, which was minimal and I appreciate that, but then I had to enter some obscure, unrecognizable letter combination, a special secret code. I am not sure what the purpose of this is; I have been told it is to keep web-bots from registering. But the lettering was so scrambled and abstract I never got it entered right. The computer would tell me I entered the code wrong. Then it would pop up another fucked up combination and ask me to try again! I tried half a dozen times, got them all wrong, and then gave up on that piece shit. What a waste of time.

Pardon my absence; I have been busy. Life is getting complicated in these ominous times and dealing with AT&T has become a full time job. They are in the habit of sending outrageous fallacious bills and expect payment or they will try to ruin ones credit, at least in my case. And it seems they have insiders at all the regulatory agencies meant to protect us consumers. I find AT&T’s billing practice to boarder on criminal? But I am not a lawyer.

Just a comment on old news; I found it interesting during the presidential debates in South Carolina when Ron Paul said he would like our country to practice the golden rule (do unto others as you would have them do unto you) and he was BOOED! Personally I think it is a good rule and believe strongly in tolerance, but hey… that would make the world a happy place to live and maybe there is no money in that.

When I think about excessive pay and compensation to executives, Angelo R. Mozilo, founder of Countrywide Financial, comes to mind. Angelo may be the most egregious offender of the whole sub-prime debacle. Angelo should be the poster boy of corporate greed and misconduct, in my opinion. After he sold Countrywide to Bank of America, he walked away from Countrywide with nearly half a billion dollars. And due to some high-powered legal wrangling he was able to settle all charges of wrongdoing against him for 68 million. I suppose this left him plenty to flee the county, have plastic surgery, and create a new identity. Anyway, Angelo is riding high now; living lavishly in some remote third world nation, where the locals are unaware of his dealings in ”sub-prime mortgages” and know him as Andy – I think.

When you cut through all the Democrat, Republican, and party bullshit, I think the Occupy Wall Street movement and the Tea Partiers have a lot in common, in spite of their differences. In general, over half the country is tired of all the financial engineering, excessive pay to executives, and war.

Once In a while, after years of marriage, someone blows. This is a good thing and much needed for it clears the air and tests the bond of marriage. If you can’t lose it with your significant other, when can you lose it, and with whom – maybe a high-quality counselor? It takes a lot of fortitude to stay committed, faithful to one individual, for a lifetime. And if there is no resolve by either party then what’s the use. The children are a good excuse but that runs out with time. The essence of this, boiled down to the essential oil, is having excellent communication with your spouse, on all levels.
