California is Retarded (again)
So much money has come into California in this past decade, the economy is in the to 5 out of the world! But we've actually been without a decent budget and in a deficit for a long, long time. But now we're in a recession because of the housing issues, which are insane over here, so we're cutting programs. So one of the things cut was Education. The money that was cut was for Music and Physical Education programs. Even though Music programs have been proven to be beneficial to developing a young mind. But what really gets me is that they cut P.E. from the curriculum. I hated PE, but at least it moved my ass. And now that they've cut PE, they're complaining that the children are becoming obese. So wait.. You cut Physical Education, which gets kids moving, then you complain that children are becoming obese? You caused the problem, you can't blame videogames, candy, sodas, and television (Well you can, but not entirely) for these problems YOU DID IT CALIFORNIA.
Los Angeles is proposing an plan for homeowners when they make a sale of their homes to aide their coffers. When you sell a home, you will have to get the sidewalk in front inspected. If it is in disrepair, it will need to be fixed before you sell your home. It will need to be fixed, by the seller, at his/her expense. Sounds great. The problem is that... The sidewalk belongs to the City. Its usually also broken due to trees... Trees planted by the City... SO, the city of Los Angeles wants homeowners to pay to fix the city-owned sidewalks that the city has potentially destroyed, at the expense of the homeowners. If you like that idea, hey you'll like this one. If you move, you pay to fix the sidewalk, you pay to repave the street in front of your house, and fix your neighbors house across the way to make it more livable. Sounds great! Bah, who the hell wants to live in LA anyway... (If you can't find a contractor, you can contract with the city to fix it, so it'll be started immediately and finished in 3 years, then you can move!)
Why Microsoft, Why!
They've copied just about a billion other internet video sites (and Youtube!). Why can't they be somewhat original. Oh well, they have a funny video on there, which is right here.
Around the bend
I'm up a bit later than I should be, making a post I probably shouldn't be making so I'll try to be brief. I'm in the market for purchasing a home and I don't want to settle for something small while I wait for something bigger somewhere down the line. I make a decent amount of money that would be sufficient for purchasing a nice home anywhere but California, but I live in the sunny state. So, I'm trying to get into this market that came down, it sounds like a perfect opportunity. But the problem is home sellers that don't really want to admit the value of their home has depreciated considerably in the past few months. Its a big problem with a rapid amount of inflation occuring, and salaries not keeping up. But there is hope, there are foreclosed homes that could be purchases. I've found a site that has a whole bunch of them, that I am withholding the address. In any event they require logins to find out more information, like street addresses, etc. But there is a way around this. But looking at the listing detail, you can click 'Agent Info', then on the next page check the box for buying and click 'Next'. From here you will get some Agent Info, another form. But scroll down and you'll see the address! Simple as that. Hopefully this will lead to something really good. I need a garage to keep my motorcycle and a home to keep my wife and child. Here's to hoping!
Goodnight!
Wow, are they brothers?
You know, Mitt Romney looks a lot like Ash from Evil Dead. Decide for yourself. I think I might cross out his name and write Ash, then vote for him. Boomsticks for all?
