Update On The Death Star
I was too lazy to find that thread Redinerobert started about that hilarious and legit petition to build a Death Star. The White House has finally responded to it: “The Administration does not support blowing up planets.” http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2013/01/11/a-new-hope-white-house-responds-to-death-star-petition/?mod=e2tw

Gotta Love People
Let me guess, you're one of those people who thinks anyone working minimum wage is dumb? Perhaps you need to study harder in your own shoes. Judging people's intelligence using their job position as a criteria is dumb. I cannot stand it when I'm in line at a restaurant or a retail store, and some ignorant fool is picking on a minimum wage employees about his/her aptitude or telling them to get a "real job." If you have to tell someone who receive a paycheck from an employer and pay taxes to get a real job, you don't deserve respect and I automatically think you're the dumb one. I'm tired of people making false assumption on others base on jobs, social classes, etc. Just because you have a higher paying job or in a higher social class, doesn't make you any better than person below your level. People needs to get this concept through their thick and narrow head.

It Just Not Funny Anymore
This came across my computer screen last night: http://www.businessinsider.com/why-aig-says-it-has-to-consider-suing-the-government-2013-1 I started thinking about this morning with my morning coffee before getting productive. I cannot remember a couple years back if AIG ASKED for bailout or they were simply bought out by the government. I'm going go ahead and assume they asked for help. The article quoted the CEO said the bailout is unconstitutional. Then why the heck did they ask for help through government instead of filing bankruptcy protection? Did I miss something? Maybe they're just tired of playing with themselves in their office and decided this would provide some entertainment.. The government claimed they made $22.7 billion profits in selling their ownerships in AIG, but another source said the Treasury did fancy accounting work to not fully account for the cost which makes large profit misleading. Personally I don't care anymore, but this whole thing just isn't funny anymore. They wanted be bailout, got their wishes, emerged from bailout, made an ad "thanking America", and now this? LOL. People have too much time on their hand.

I Feel Like Branching Out
Speaking of the spiritual and guidance craps, maybe you should pull a Steve Jobs.. Go to India and trip on acid then come back and change the world. isn't it funny how Apple's original logo was colorful which could be related to his psychedelic trip? Amazing stuff.

I Feel Like Branching Out
You need an extremely detailed business plan. It needs include: your mission, your goals, how you how you're going execute it, and risks. Risks is every obstacle you could face. Competitors, financial risks, risk that your potential customers simply are not interested. You need a contingency plan for all those risks, if it possible. Then all 4 of your partners need discuss how you're going share percentage. Could be base on how % cash put in or other assets, or you just come to written agreement.(talk to a cpa about former I'm too buzz to explain and it been a year since I've done partnership accounting.) A great plan can falter if you crap out on execution. Many people think accountants care about bottom line and salesmen care about top line. Me, I care about lines in-between. That where the art is, you can learn a lot about manager's style. Or use it as base to find parameter to explore to learn more. I definitely base the business on limited liability. Just my .02 or however it worth. Time for another beer

Saban's Drive
Whether you hate him or love him, you cannot deny how incredible his mentality is. His drive to succeed amazes me and I admire it so much..People with this kind of attitude and supporting cast around him who feeds off it can do incredible things. Not just in football, but running companies and perhaps a country. One last thing, looks like Notre Dame updated their 'Play Like A Champion' sign.

Sugar Bowl
Throw the numbers out, something tells me Alabama will be as motivated as Notre Dame. It be a game of inches, unless Brian Kelly managed get a no-huddle offense efficiently running for this game. then it suddenly get interesting.

Folk Music
I been listening to a lot of folk music lately. I love listening to the Avett Brothers, Old Crow Medicine Show, and Monsters of Folks. Any other bands I should listen to? Monsters of Folks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvCAt2U5s2I This style of genre has such nice sound to relax too and even better lyrics with deep meanings. Least my head seems to go into deep thoughts thinking about the words. Isn't music fun?!?

A Southern Blizzard
Global warming simply means the average temperatures are rising. Hotter temperature evaporate more moisture in the air which in turn creates more snow on the ground during colder season. Anyway, I never truly understood the widespread panic. Every. Single. Year. You would think with experience people would learn how to deal with it better instead of panicking.
