My problem with facebook; it's a reminder of how much our current society bothers me. At first is was cute-- kind of, but as the time went on it just got nauseating. The narcissism The birthdays The baby picture--animals fine, but enough with your spawn. The touching quotes The pictures of what you ate. The head tilted portrait. The reminder that people don't change.

Actually, the only facebook posts I can stomach are from the Amish--sad, but true.

I sometimes think these stories are made up by Harvard MBA types? I was honestly, too lazy to verify the source. I have seen guys like this--15-20 years ago, but thought times have changed? The one thing that always always irked me about programmers--game testers, etc; is the undeserved Hugh egos that went along with their bag of random "talents"--some of you. Those days are long gone--I thought? I honestly believe anyone who dosen't have to break a sweat at work is lucky.

That said, I still think these stories are going to be much nore common. I hope true BS sniffers farret out the honest bloggers, from some lackey with a degree in psychology.

I'm not sure why this story irrated me. I know I need to follow with "I could be that guy?". But I work differently. If I don't like a company--I smile, while I destroy the entity. Just being truthful.

I believe every middle class home in the world will eventually have three printers; paper, plastic, and extruded metal. The things they will produce:

1. Toys 2. Parts 3. jewelry molds, then jewelry. 4. medical devices(print out a catheter in the middle of the night.) 5. Eventually, electronics. 6. Once metal printers become better, and lower priced the race will be on. We will read about the first mechanical watch printed on this site--then it will be the first radio? 7. Physibles will be a go to site?

I got kicked out of an Apple store. I questioned a Managers managatorial expertise. I took his angry picture at the door(Eric in Corte Madera). I am tempted to post it on youtube, but feel punishment enough is working there? Oh yea, the reason he was furious at me, is because I didn't like the way he was treating my salesman. I've never understood people who let a title go to their head? Off topic, just venting.

Some people are still turned off by online dating.

Great concept, but in Marin county I would get a huge fine for doing this. My neighbors would turn on me in a second.

MBNA is a horrid credit card company. They love mandatory arbitration clauses; that always favored that shitty company. I will be glad to eventually write them off in BK court.

yea-I agree. It seems like his story is getting buried?

A few things I found with getting older; 1. Fear of death actually lessens? At least with me. In my twenties, I was a walking Woody Allen with a brain tumor. 2. If my sex drive was like it's been lately; I might be a billionaire? I spent a lot of time chasing tail. 3. Anxiety will lessen as you age. You will probally just stop drinking in your late 40's-- just because you don't need the effect anymore. 4. You will lose a lot of good friends, if like me, you enjoyed people older than you. A therapist once told me to make friends with younger people; they will outlast you. I though it was selfish at the time, but understand now. 5. Treat your mother, or father well. They most likely were you only Cheerleaders in life. 6. Success has many heads. Meaning some of you might mike a fortune. Some might find something they truely love doing in life. And, some are blessed with good genes--yes, good looking people, many times, are treated well. 7. Your interest will vastly change as you age, at least for me. I hated computers when I was younger. I loved philosophy and art. 8. It really goes by so quick it's sad. I really mean that. Don't spend your life in an office, or anywhere if you are just waiting until retirement. Most guys die in retirement, only after collecting a few pension checks. Get used to living on the cheap, if you feel you just don't like the 9-5 B.S.. The chicks that will stay with a underemployed guy, truely love you. 9. I never thought I would get old, but it happens. 10. In terms of health-- eat less. That's all I can say. Forget about working out all the time-- joint damage. Vitamins--might make things worse? Try to get enough sleep. And moderation in drugs and alcohol. 11. Stay humble, if you ever were? Don't ever rule out a nervous breakdown. Meaning, do think you're Superman. 12. If you ever break out of middle class-- really give back. Most every rich guy I ever met, had a rich parent.

I have no idea what you do by looking at your website on an ipad.

1. This s not a bad idea. 2. Student loans should have zero interest. 3. Don't take out student loans for any school that is for profit, or advertises on T.V.. 4. Remember student loans are not bankruptable. 5. Your interests will change as you age. 6. If you can swing it, get a bachelor's degree. 7. I despised "networking". I made friends with people I truely liked. Well, I'm paying for it now. I hate to say this, but force youself to be friends with "people of means". I know they have the personalities of drift wood. 8. With the right direction; I feel an ambitious student could lean what they need off the Internet. 9. If you do make a lot of money in your life--Remember what it was like to have nothing. 10. Oh, yea--really think about marriage. I'm not sure it's necessary anymore.
