Well its birthday time again! Another year has passed and what a year it has been 2007 was one crazy time, quitting my day job to run my multimedia company full-time. Was the largest step last year, a complete overhaul and conversion of this site to what you see today, SO many client sites and projects this year it was hard to keep track of them all.

For 2008 I plan to continue this blog as well as launching some more targeted blogs in the realm of Golf, Tech Support and Reviews, and working on some passive income channels with other companies. Partnerships, business ventures well you know the routine. Client work is still going strong and I think I will maintain that aspect of the company but farm out more of the work instead of doing it all my self.

I want to thank everyone who is visiting the site and reading my news and rants. Today is a day for rest and maybe a round of golf. I’m sure I will come up with something to rant about tomorrow or maybe i’ll switch it up and go with some advice well see.

M.P.C Out

I found this ten signs that your job is in jeopardy list on DIGG with an interesting description with it. When reading it some past memories were triggered from when I was able to read these signs in a corrupt organization that I was working for. Most people know this company as Future Shop, to me it is the hell that drained 7 years of my life from me. During my time in this corrupt organization my morals and values where tested on a daily basis when asked to do do things and manipulate systems that went against my own personal values.

By refusing to manipulate numbers and stab my team members in the back I was black flagged as a non conformist by individuals in the company. The greatest part of it all was I could read all these idiots like open books, each time I sensed a plan going into place to remove me from the company I threw a wrench into those plans. See I never stole anything, I never did anything against the company, my performance was not sub par by any stretch of the imagination so the company had no real way to “get rid of me” without a major court case on their hands. The fact that I had incriminating evidence of activities that went against company policies by all the parties in the store that where trying to get rid of me because I did not conform to their corrupt natures.

The store I had been in for 6 years changed store managers, the replacement manager was 1/2 the human being and 1/2 manager of the previous store manager. In capable of running a store without favoritism to people of his own race and manipulating systems to benefit his own store numbers. This corrupt human being made up lies and stories about me trying to discredit my reputation and set me up for the fall. After being not so discretely investigated by the head of loss prevention (nice try guys you people are such morons, you can’t even see that I am incapable of stealing from the place that employs me), guess what nothing turned up. Well if there is nothing to turn up nothing will turn up.

At this point I was not ready to leave the company so I put in a request for a store transfer to another location so as to be out of this poisoned work environment. For a couple of months I was strung along until finally my corrupt store manager called me into the office to tell me that my transfer was denied. To shorten this part of the story I made some calls up the corporate ladder and my transfer was approved one week later. Funny how that works isn’t it.

At this point I was done with this company, once bitten twice shy, so I prepared my exit plan. 1 year was all i needed free from the constant back stabbing and abuse I was receiving from my previous store. Off to the new store I went, in a matter of 11 months I produced 3 times the profit that the previous sales manager had produced in the year before. Then some things in my life aligned, the plan was coming to its completion and I walked in one day and handed the store manager my 2 weeks notice. The most gratifying experience of my 7 year career at Future Shop was leaving on a high note with people questioning why? What happened? These idiotic tunnel visioned simple minded cretins lose more quality staff because they are a corrupt, racist and really don’t care about the people that are really making a difference in their really small world.

Well thats my story, there is far more details and documents to back the story up if anyone finds it too hard to believe. Some may ask why not call HR, HAHA I did call HR they are the ones that started the investigation based on the lies from my racist store manager. (This is a case of reverse racism by the way, I am white).

The ever futile power struggle between men and women continues. We have countless lists of women’s rules for men. Like usual they change with the weather, don’t make much sense, and are frankly irrational most of the time. Seriously folks these lists are hilarious and they lighten the days when you get them in your email. However to all the women out there just because an email list says that women act this way it is not an excuse to ACTUALLY DO IT!.

The feud continues as it has for centuries with neither party understanding the other but still feeling a magnetic attraction to each other so they can enter into a life of slavery and never ending battles.

To the men out there we really do ask for it sometimes, I have forever been trying to figure out why men get married or play the game of golf. And for the record I am an avid golfer and have been married for 10 years.

Marriage:
Why do we meet a wonderful girl, have intense physical attraction, enjoy eachothers company and make some pretty awesome memories. Everything is amazing you are happy, she is happy the stars and planets are aligned, things could not be any better. The sex is great, few fights which usually end in make up sex. It’s a perfect union of two complete opposites,MEN and Woman.

Then it happens at some point knowing that everything will change ESPECIALLY our amazing woman, we go out, buy a ring and propose. Knowing full well that women marry men with the intent to change them, and men marry women hoping they dont change and they do. After the wedding there is a short period of bliss and then it begins. The car you had so many fond memories in with together is no longer condusive to a married man and she hates it. The pleading statements “But you always told me you loved my car!” are no help remember the woman in front of you now is not the same one you asked to marry you. Fights end in sleeping on the couch or 3 days of uncomfortable silence and strange looks from across the kitchen.And if you think that all the crazy wild sex you had in the past is going to continue you are sorely mistaken boys IT’s OVER!!!

WHY DO WE WILLINGLY PUT OUR SELVES INTO THIS POSITION! Well to all the women out there I received a great email from my wife that is a simple list of rules of men. Really its simple common sense stuff not so much rules but a guideline for peace and seriously the best way to get the most our of your man! PLEASE ALL WOMEN READ THIS!

Golf:
Just like marriage we fall in love with a game that is destined to put us in an early grave or at best drive us to the brink of insanity. We stand in a HUGE field and try to hit a litte ball with peice of metal on the end of a long stick. Just looking at the physics of what we are doing it’t HARD AS HELL! Then when we don’t defy the odds and make a bad shot we beat ourselves up about it. But week after week we return to the course and bet with our playing partners. The difference with golf though is no matter what happens on the course there is a Beer and a Hot Dog waiting on the ninth hole and we are actually outside getting exercise at the same time.

I GUESS US MEN ARE JUST GLUTTONS FOR PUNISHMENT!
