Blogging With Ike

"Men give me some credit for genius. All the genius I have lies in this: When I have a subject in hand, I study it profoundly. Day and night it is before me. I explore it in all its bearings. My mind becomes pervaded with it. Then the effort which I make, the people are pleased to call the fruit of genius. It is the fruit of labor and thought." - Alexander Hamilton

Ipods and Super Butterflies

I have found a really good use for moth traps from Pearls Before Swine, which is by far my favorite comic strips.

What happens when a butterfly steals an iPod? I am not sure what we should do.

Pearls Before Swine

As you can clearly see, a strong butterfly can steal an iPod.

I am hoping one of those butterflies do not show up at my house.

Why Cost So Much

Funny how Text Messaging works. The big four charge a fortune for the text messaging on something that does not cost them any money.

What is that about. I am not to sure. Why are these people charging so darn much? I am really wondering why. Can we please cut some of these charges down. Like now.

I wonder how much is being given to Congress.

Running Well Again

It is amazing how much my mac runs on 4GB of system memory memory compared to 1 GB. THings are smooth and such.

I had one of my old 2GB Simms croak and was down to 1GB for weeks. I usually have 15-20 apps open at one time with no problem. On 1GB that does not work. Horrah for 4GB of RAM in my computer. The ole MacBook Pro is running well again.

Job Trends - Fluffer, Whore, Dominatrix

I never know what I will find on the Internet. The internet is a really odd place where all kinds of things can be learned. I recently learned about some job trends from Simply Hired website.

Now how this all came about: a word I had not seen before and wanted to know what it meant. Fluffer. Seems innocent enough, except that is what one person was calling another. As it turns out there is something a little more odd to in and involves the adult movie industry. One has to say the Urban Dictionary is a wealth of info on fluffers.

Well this of course raised another question, how does one become a fluffer, not that I want to. Well where does one go to find this information out. The Internet.

Searching for employment and fluffer gives us the number one result of Simplyhired.com

Proud moment for these people.

So I added in some more terms to the employment trends. Fluffer, Whore, Dominatrix.

Well Simplyhired did not let me down. (No pun)

Bad news for fluffers: jobs are down 54%, whores did not change but for the Dominatrix good news your job outlook is up over 2100%. Talk about job security.



I would love to see these trends reported on the news. Or better yet, high school guidence counselors. Just remember some job trends are going up and up!

Already Tired of 2012

While many people are racing for the diet pill for the new year. There will be another race. The one in Washington DC. This whole event is supposed to be packed.

Of course how will it be different from any other Jan 20, first term event? Not to sure. After all this hype is there for all the presidents.

The problem here is media is already talking second term. Grrrr. Can we get into the first one first. I am not ready for 2012. Please can we stop talking about it. I mean really .

Crossover for Macintosh

Wow, I was going back over things and looking for things on my hard drive including my auto insurance quotes, that is another story. In 2006 I wrote about StarFleet Command which is my long time favorite game. Of course it only runs on PC. And it still runs only on a PC. Grrrr.

Well for the good news. Starfleet Command runs great in Crossover Games. I mean no updates. It just runs like a charm. Took me about five minutes to install and wham, bam I am fighting Klingons.

Now I will have to try my other favorite game, V for Victory.

Have a happy day.

Big Bang Theory.

I have been watching the Big Bang Theory. This is quite a funny show. It makes fun of nerds. I really do enjoy it. I never know what to make of it. It still makes me laugh most of the time. I am just writing about the show and see how they like the life insurance rates.




This is really a pretty good TV show for a comedy. A little heavy on the sexual innuendo.

Have a most happy day.

Found a Poem

I found a great poem online.

All I can say is that I wish a person with this much talent in writing would be in my class.

By: Yahoo ID: viva la juicy


Empty Mansion

Slivers of white light intrude the room
Casting dark shadows on the cold white floors
They shatter the silence
That hovers in the air.

A grand yet vacant mansion
Covered in luxurious white embellishments
Contains a lost purpose
As well as lost inhabitants

A chill runs through the air
A soft winter breeze floats across
The stillness and empty peace
Erases the possiblity of life.

He enters the house in the middle of the night, calling out to her
Hearing his own voice echoing off the high walls
His keys and briefcase crash to the floor
When he sees the note.

He opens the door
Finds her there waiting for him
No longer breathing, no longer hoping
He should have known.

Hollow screams
Shatter the silence
That hovers in the air.


Commentary: I love how she draws us in. We are thinking maybe a ghost or something scary. Yet the wife (I assume) has killed herself. And he screams. Ending just as it started. I wonder why did he know she was going to do this.

Great poem, the writer should be proud of herself.
