inside job

the idea behind collecting the trash from the residents' curbsides is to collect ALL OF THE TRASH. but you're always in such a hurry my dear sanitation worker.

in your haste, trash tends to fly about wildly. so if you pick up a container full of trash, and a couple coffee cups, banana peels, and cans of corn fly out- you should also pick those up and make sure they make it into the trashtruck. to leave that flotsam and jetsam behind is tantamount to littering which your very jurisdiction has laws against.

it's always an inside job isn't it? the santitation worker can litter, the healthcare worker can get treatment, and the attorney doesn't pay his bills on time.

sell now

a couple of this evening's headlines on money.cnn.com:

"yahoo disappoints again"
"intel tumbles as margins miss"

the "santa rally" in the final week of 2006 plus the run up so far in 2007 doesn't make any sense. this economy has serious issues with the price of energy, and yet the dow has reached an all time high in the last three sessions.

14000 is an overbought market. earnings season is here, and the headlines above suggest tech isn't going to make it. the sell off is at hand.

this blogger (investor) has money on the sidelines and plans to wait another year or so until the market finds it's bottom, to put those funds in play. investing now is asking for losses in shareprice.

if one feels determined to purchase corporate shares, then purchase PG BEFORE 07.20. you will qualify for the august dividend and be in a great position for the selloff, because people need soap, toilet paper, and detergent even during a bear market. the street knows this and it's only a matter of time until they seek safety in a company like PG.

another day at the office

can somebody! anybody? please stop this individual:



watching roger federer take his 11th grand slam at wimbledon today evokes the metaphor of him as MACHINE! what is he to do in that instant he secures another grand slam? falling on the ground, overwhelmed, almost seems like the act of a human being.

but a human being can't possibly play tennis like this!

after the the "emotion" of match point, the android simply picks up the hardware, kisses the hardware, then journeys "across the pond" to do it all over again. this is becoming a broken record.

andy roddick, where are you? this android is on a rampage and it wants to take the trophy from your country in 2007! channel the spirit of pete and andre and STOP HIM! for all of us...america needs you! humanity needs you!

couch potatoes

abc is pitching the following tv show:



the show is about getting healthy through exercise and diet. but, the following text is from the show's website:

"That's why exercise is an important part of your game plan to get healthier. And you have two goals: First, just be more active. TURN OFF THE TV, put down the video-game controller, walk away from the computer. Almost anything you do on your feet will burn more calories than any of those! Second, add exercise to your day by scheduling yourself a good daily workout."

does the text, "TURN OFF THE TV" seem a little hypocritical here? this is a TV show abc is attempting to get us to watch, with a theme of "TURN OFF THE TV". hello stupid?
