Dialing for Couch Lint

Sunday, February 28th, 2010

I understand that our public university system is suffering due to the collapsing economy and lack of support from Sacramento. Unfortunately I am not in the condition to donate money at this time and would love to be taken off the solicitation list from the school until I am able to donate. Not all of [...]

There Must Be Some Suspicion

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

When a neighbor gets robbed you become more suspicious about strange cars parked near your home. The strange car ended up being an investigator at the local animal control agency.
The irony is the individual is parked at the same corner for three straight days which raised the suspicion from me and my neighbor across [...]

Upgrade Time

Saturday, February 20th, 2010

I decided to upgrade my phone from a Curve 8900 to a Bold 9700. The only benefits for me was 3G data, Visual Voicemail and an optical trackpad.
185 dollars was blown, but I feel I will have more peace of mind. I was frustrated with my blown trackball and I wanted something better after finding [...]

Infraction Your Way to Unemployment

Friday, February 19th, 2010

The company I work for decided to have a system to make it where if you show up to work late or stay beyond your shift you get an infraction. However in the last six months people have been dismissed due to this new system and many of my co-workers are worried that it is [...]

We Deserve Better

Friday, February 5th, 2010

Ontario residents deserve better. We do deserve representatives that do not have the perception of being bought by outside interests such as Councilman Wapner, just because we do not have the thousands of dollars to stuff in their campaign accounts does not mean that we should be ignored.
Our city does deserve growth and opportunity, [...]

More Reflections on Wal-Mart in Ontario, California

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

For the last decade the former parcel on Fifth and Mountain in Ontario has been an eyesore since their former tenants left. Ontario residents have been fighting Wal-Mart who bought the property and the city government to prevent a Super Wal-Mart from being built in their neighborhood.
I could understand that the city of Ontario [...]

Tactless Universities and Alumni

Wednesday, January 27th, 2010

Face it the economy is in trouble and public universities are struggling hard. Alumni associations are trying their best to help support their schools with scholarships and supplemental funding.
My sister has over 20 thousand in school debt with a good amount of personal debt and she is still trying to find a decent job to [...]

CSET

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

I decided to start the process of trying to get my subject tests passed so I could go for a teacher credentialing program in the next few months. I took the California history, American Government and Economics exam. I was worried what was going to happen, but it did not feel like I was going [...]

Road Runner Price Increase

Friday, December 4th, 2009

It was 44.95 in 2008, now it is 46.95. However in 2010 expect your internet service to rise another 2.04 with Time Warner Cable. I am seriously pondering leaving TWC and going to Verizon for my internet services. 39.95 plus 2-3.00 of federal taxes is way better than 50.00 for my internet services.
I hope [...]

Recycling Theft

Monday, September 28th, 2009

I understand that times are rough and people need the money, but when you do not have respect for the people you are loitering near then compassion disappears away. This man ended up tipping over the recyclable bin dumping the stuff all over my lawn. I told the guy clean up your mess else I [...]
