Paperless is simple

In lieu of thinking about what I can do to submit a post to Action day I found myself sitting at my desk in work thinking and pondering(strike that reverse it) about what I can do or what I am doing to help the environment. As I am sitting thinking that I am a good for nothing because I have no clue of what I am doing to help. Someone walks in my office with a pay check and screams "paper killer!" . Then it came to me, at that moment I realized that I am helping the environment because I have gone paperless with everything I can. Everything including bills and mailings I have registered with companies to just send me an email with the information. I pay 98% of my bills online eliminating the need for checks and stamps.

See its that easy. register as many things as you possibly can to go paperless. I don't even get bank statements or taxes in the mail anymore. It all goes straight to my email account. The great thing is that you have a history of every bill, and confimations of paying those bills or whatever type of transactions you do.

Go Paperless! Next I am looking into a diesel car so that I can get in with the biofueled cars.

Just remember, change takes time, but you have to take the first step to cause that change.

The nEEd for spEEd

Three... two.... one.. blast off. I have just upgraded to comcast's blast. Tech guys should be by on Tuesday. I am kinda scared cause I really don't like corporate giants like comcast, and nor do I really like giving them more of my money. Fios is not available in my town yet and I have this need for more dl speed. Its not anything about illegally downloading music, as some would think, its just the fact that it is inherent of my human nature to be impatient of a web page to take 10 secs to download. Dont get me wrong 10 secs is fast but "I want it now" as violet in Willy WOnka states. Believe me there is a plan for myself to abandon the clutches or at least loosen the clutches that comcast has on me. For instance, we, in my house, are note tv junkies. we are more of video game and internet junkies than anything. So I have the great Idea to use my my new found speed to watch things on the interwebs. Makes sense right? NO?

Well lets put it this way. We waste our money in our house on endless reruns of shows, and crappy cable tv. There is nothing ever on HBO, Showtime, Cinemax etc. So I got that removed. Most of the channels we watch ie: Discovery, Animal planet, Sci fi, you know educational stuff for the most part, show plenty of things, but they really don't have the depth of tv that requires me to be paying so much monthly. So instead I figure that we stream everything once the time is right.

Well let me just say that Comcast is so backward that when I went to disconnect my tv, and up the bandwidth that me not having cable and just internet was going to cost me 67.95(of course this was the blast service) I was like waaat? so the lady takes me through a spiel of questions regarding tv services that I watch and it ends up that cable tv with my upgraded internet is exactly 67.95...? again waaat!? now of course there is no more premium cable channels and I get to have my discovery and such(basically a beefed up analog service), but I dont need that stuff. I guess you are thinking well that was self defeating, and i say not really, cause I was paying about 160 for service. So I cut it in half cause when it was all said and done I ended up paying about 80 bucks(keeping the converters and stuff like that, you know taxes) . We'll keep it for another few months, but there are so many other avenues to be entertained. There is joost.. there is tvlinks, youtube, and every station is providing archived episodes, and we can get news broadcast too.

So why in the world am I paying for something that I do not need. I am actually waiting for verizon fios to come to our area, and then I will drop tv. cause it will be cheaper to go with them and get 20 megs instead of the 16 that I have or will have soon.

The plan is still going to be move away from tv completely but I figured that I could record things to my mythdora box (Mythtv is the wave of the future and mythdora is one of the surf boards to ride it. )I know some are like mythtv? mythdora? No worries I will blog about that soon.

Im Back Biznitches!!

Well well, I mean wtf is happening. Long time no hear from me I know and gawd do I really miss this dusty place. I have to blow the dust off the mind and get crackin. I was poking around on wifey's message board and saw a link to the mind of me. Wow I really have not been here in at least a year or almost two.

There has been so much that happened since I have put down the keyboard and I dont even know where to start.

We left off with me going through a second job, a haunt from the past, and even new haunting discoveries.

Lets see now.. I left my last job with my pop's company. Let me tell you working for family has its ups and downs and they are mostly downs.

My dad's partner was a bastard! He worked me hard like a hebrew slave and had no sympathy or appreciation of what I did for the company. Long story short, I cam in to the company as a project manager and left as a used up whore. I gained this company over 3 million in one year and they still wanted to keep poking me in the ass. I mean I worked like 18 hour days had all kinds of helath problems from the stress, and more over than that almost lost my wife and kids cause I was never home. I have learned a lot from working there, and boy am I glad its over.

Currently I work for a large IT company based outta Jersey City, and it is the shiznit!! I mean I love this place. I get free coffee, and soda and lunch. I am able to work from home time to time and hang out with wifey. Things have definitely gotten better.

Anyways, Imma bust outta here and update you with what is what and I have some crazy things to talk about this time around. Hopefully it will improve your outlook on life, career and what not. Just remember no matter what keep on keeping on and it is not always as bad as you think it is.
