Volume Control

You know how they put a radio control button on the steering wheel of some cars now a days? Of course you do, well I don't like it there and I don't it there. Lets be honest not very many of us drive with 2 hands so what the point? Either you have to bring another hand all the way over to hit it, or you have to let go of the steering wheel. Not a good idea.

You know where I want it...I want it on the control panel on the door, by the window switches. Yes sir, it only makes sense. When you take the window down you need to turn the stereo up a little so why make me move to another place to do it...put it right there. Plus when I drive with my right hand, my left hand is just chilling on the door anyways...and when that song comes on that you want to hear, yup your right there. And when its a song you cant stand, you can change the radio with minimal effort. This way you can focus more on driving.

Volume controls on the door panel, you heard it here first.

Terius Youngdell Nash

Who the hell do you think you are? This guy is starting to piss me off. In case you don't know who he is, he is a R&B singer/songwriter. I have no problem with that, what I do have a problem with is this. This kid thinks he can call himself "The Dream". But not only does he call himself "The Dream", he also calls himself "The American Dream".

Really? Dude chill out, you just made it onto the scene last year, who gave you the right to have 2 nicknames, and furthermore, who gave you the permission to take MY name? I've been "The Dream" since ~6th grade, and before me "The Dream" was Hakeem Olajuwon, now I don't remember ever passing the torch down to you. And quite frankly after this stunt, I never will.

Now you can take your little songwriting ass and sit down in a chair and do your thing. I don't care if you go by "The American Dream" but under no circumstance will I be "The Persian Dream". No sir, I am "The Dream".

Big deal, you wrote "umbrella" but if Rihanna hadn't of sung it, no one ever would have heard it. Now condsider yourself lucky and move off of my territory. And if you wanna step up, then bring it.

Microsoft part 2

Ill keep this short. I love you guys for creating Office, but honestly what other alternatives are there. I am content with Office. But then you go and make Office 2007...why you made that move Ill never know. You took away the "save as" button, and then you changed the file format. Its no longer a ".doc" its now a ".docx", WTF is the "x" for? Xtra stupid? Ok so maybe that last line wasn't as funny as it was meant to be, but you know what, I'm not going to change it because I don't change things for no reason unlike Microsoft.

So now as more people start using Office 2007 because they think its better, more and more people with regular Office, or Office 2003 (its official name) are receiving files made on 07. But guess what, unless you download a translator, YOU CANT VIEW THE FILES!

Had to get this off my chest!

MTV

I'm not big on TV at all. In fact if my TV gets turned on once in a week, its more than average. But when I do turn the TV on it's usually for sports, now that baseball is back, I'm sure it will be on a lot more. But the other day I was amazingly bored so I decided to see what was on. The answer...nothing, so I got caught watching some stupid show on MTV. I don't even remember what it was. What I realized is this:

Every show on MTV in about nothing, absolute nothing. Ok maybe true life might be somewhat educational and have some merit behind it, but everything else...about absolutely nothing. I dare you to name a show on MTV that differs.

You see all these commercials about parents not wanting things on their TV, you know the one where they get the mob guys in the house, and the mom says they have to go. Lets be honest, thats more real life than the shit on MTV. If anything should be taken off the TV to protect kids, its MTV. It does nothing but fill peoples minds with a false world and false hopes.

And don't be stubborn, you all damn well know that MTV is scripted, and if you don't I'm sure somehow indirectly you know someone who has been on a show there and they can vouch for this.

Go back to showing music video's, at least live up to your name. Or is it no longer Music Television. No, its not, its now Made-up Television.

Microsoft!

Where do I start. Microsoft o Microsoft, you put out shit. Plain and simple, you put out shit. Your marketing sucks, and your product sucks, so how are you so successful? You have a monopoly, thats how. There are three basic OS's (Operating Systems), Windows, Mac, and Linux. Now one would say sure theres a choice, but unless you really don't have a life then Linux is out of the question. That leaves Mac and Windows...as for me I hate, I mean despise, I mean just flat out cant stand Apple, so that leaves me with Windows.

I have no choice but to deal with your OS. But just because you have a monopoly with OS's doesn't mean everything else you put out has to be shit! First Microsoft Money...what a BS program that cant even keep up with its own updates...had to switch to Quicken, just mad I didn't start with Quicken. Then theres your Internet explorer, does anyone use that anymore? Then you went and created "Vista" out of demand for a more "user friendly" platform. The only thing Vista is more user friendly for is people who have never touched a computer before. Vista sucks and because of this sales of Macs are soaring through the roof...not to mention sales of XP haven't been this high since it was first released!!!! People are downgrading!

I could go on forever with all the stuff you have done wrong, your Xbox used a linux operating system...not even your own. Then there was Zune...Then you tried to buy Yahoo...I think more people use ASK.com than Yahoo...but wait you've been working on that deal for months now...please continue. $40 billion plus is a steal, cant wait to see how you fuck yahoo up.

And now today, I'm buying photo paper a 60ct. of HP's premium was $17. Then I see your premium a 100ct. for only $3.99...get 40 more for $13 less...why not, no sales pitch needed. I get home, print two things and notice how shitty the quality is on your paper. Afraid it might be my printer I run back to Best Buy, grab the HP brand, run back home, print out the same 2 pictures and all of a sudden I'm looking like Ansel Adams. Your paper sucks just like your company.

Now I see why you stepped down Bill, nice move.

My birthday

So I turned 24 this year, and like most years lately it just depresses me. It feels like I should be something by now, you know have a job? Maybe have a family and some kids. Who knows, something more than I have now.

This year however I really felt old. You know how when people get older, they don't want anyone to know it's their birthday. It was like that. I did something for my birthday this year that I'm sure puts me in a small group of people, who like myself would never wish this upon another person. I had the unfortunate task of carrying my great aunts casket to her grave.

For my 24th birthday, when most people go out and get drunk and celebrate, I had to attend a funeral. And because of this, there was really no attention put on me, it was as if my birthday no longer mattered. As if all of a sudden I was old enough to not expect gifts, a cake, or the tradition singing of "Happy Birthday". That is what shook me that I really need to start doing something more with my life. It wasn't the funeral. It was the lack of attention.

Get a Life

I'm not going to sit here and pretend I don't have a myspace account. Because you know what I do. But I don't use it everyday and when I do use it I'm hardly on there for more than 1o minutes. There are some people who live off this thing however. You know, the people besides Tom who are always "Online Now!", yea them.

Well yesterday was April 1st, which for my 23 years of life has always been known as "April Fools Day". Well yesterday some dumbass sent millions of people into a deep depression and state of anxiety. Someone came up with the idea to spread the word that this Friday would be the last day that myspace would be free and after that it would be $19.95 a month. They even said this on the radio yesterday morning as I was driving to the park and within minutes the lines where off the hook.

I can not describe how many people were upset and wondering if they could afford that. Kids in high school and middle school were calling in talking about how they have to get jobs now because of this. (Ok, why those kids weren't in school at 9 am...I don't know, but their parents really need to take their myspace away). Anyways this thing got so blown out of proportions that people actually started deleting their accounts and sending bulletins saying "good bye" to their friends.

Anyways once they announced "April Fools!" people got more mad and blah blah blah...lets just say that the Dj's had to call the myspace crisis center today because they were getting in trouble from the amount of emails sent to myspace about this.

To everyone out there who actually got worried that myspace would be $19.95 a month...I say this...GET A LIFE!
