Scared

Don't you hate it when:

someone scares the crap out of you? It's funny when you do it to someone else, but not so funny when it happens to you. I got a good laugh while watching this:



The moral of this post is:

Watch out.

Stay in School?

Don't you hate it when:

people tell you to stay in school, even though that might not be the best route for you to take (financially)?

As a recent college graduate, I found this video very interesting:



The moral of this post is:

Drop out of high school and start your own business.

Another One Bites the Dust

Don't you hate it when:

you fall in front of a bunch of people? If you're around your friends, they'll probably laugh at you. If you're around a group of strangers, they'll probably laugh at you too, just not out loud. You can try to play it off all you want, but you're usually embarrassed.

Well, how would you feel if someone put it on YouTube for millions of people to view?

Watch this, Miss USA, Crystle Stewart, falls in the 2008 Miss Universe pageant:



But this isn't the first time this has happened. Last year, at the very same pageant, Rachel Smith fell on her behind as well. Have a look:



The moral of this post is:

Ladies should just wear sneakers with their dresses.

Holidays

Don't you hate it when:

you have to work on a holiday? Yeah, me too.

Happy (belated) 4th of July to everyone.

The moral of this post is:

There haven't been many updates because I was busy enjoying the holiday.

Hancock Reviews

Don't you hate it when:

you're really excited about a movie, but then you find out that it's probably going to suck? Will Smith is one of my favorite actors, so I was really excited about Hancock.

The previews and the hype had me thinking that it was going to be one of the summer's best films (along with The Dark Knight, WALL-E, Wanted, and a few others). The Hancock movie reviews, on the other hand, have me thinking otherwise.

If you click the link, you'll see that Rotten Tomatoes was pretty hard on Hancock. This won't stop me from seeing it for myself and forming my own opinion, but this is a little disturbing.

The moral of this post is:

You might want to wait for the DVD.

WNBA Live '08

Don't you hate it when:

you laugh at something that you probably shouldn't be laughing at? The Haters are not women haters. The WNBA is doing well, especially with Candace Parker dunking in back to back games.

HOWEVER, this video is pure comedy:



The moral of this post is:

You know you want to laugh.

Spilled Juice on my Shirt

Don't you hate it when:

you or someone else spills something on your shirt? It's always a white shirt. It's always a red liquid.

Sometimes you never know until someone else points it out. And even if you did, it starts to get annoying when different people tell you what you already know.

But I bet you wouldn't hate it as much if you could sell your ruined shirt. That's exactly what Doc Rivers did. After the Boston Celtics defeated the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA finals, the coach's stained shirt was auctioned off on eBay for $55,000.

This was all for charity, of course. But still, who would buy something like this?

The moral of this post is:

Don't take your shirts to the cleaners, just put them on eBay.

Dead Cell Phones

Don't you hate it when:

your cell phone dies? It tends to happen when you really need it.

I'm always at risk because I use my Blackberry to make phone calls, send text messages, send instant messages, send e-mails, browse the Internet, play Brickbreaker, and write notes.

I won't let it happen again. I'm going to order a solar cell phone charger. I think this one will suit me well. And it looks like I can also use it for my PSP, iPod, and digital camera.

Go to SolarArcadia.com to check out a bevy of solar chargers and products.


The moral of this post is:

If you use your cell phone the way I do, then you might want to consider one of these chargers.

Spammers on Myspace

Don't you hate it when:

you get spam on Myspace? They've improved the website and made it a little harder to be annoyed by spammers, but sometimes these losers find a way to get the job done. I've seen people get friend requests from a phony Myspacers, receive messages/ comments about gift cards, and have someone hack into a profile.

But finally, one of the world's biggest spammers will be punish. Click here to read how the Former 'spam King' Must Pay Myspace $6 million.

The moral of this post is:

Stop.

Save Gas

Don't you hate it when:

you fill up your gas tank, and then a few days later you find yourself on "E" again? There could be several reasons why this happens. It could be that your daily commute is simply too far, or it could be little things that you never knew about.

Here are six ways you're wasting gas:
Stolen from Yahoo.com and provided by CNNmoney.com...

1. Racing away from green lights
When the light turns green, you don't have to take off as quickly as possible. That pedal under your right foot is called the "gas pedal" for a good reason. The more you press down on it, the more gas you're pumping into the engine.

Press lightly on the gas pedal, and you'll still accelerate, and you'll still get where you're going. You might be surprised at how little pressure it takes to get your car up to speed in a reasonable time.

2. Racing up to red lights
When you're driving down the street, and you see a light red light or stop sign up ahead, you should lay off the gas sooner rather than later.

There's no point in keeping your foot on the gas until just before you reach the intersection. Let off the pedal sooner and give your engine a rest as you coast to the stop while braking gently.

3. Confusing the highway with a speedway
Even if it doesn't involve hard acceleration, speeding wastes gas. The faster you go, the more air your vehicle has to push out of the way. It's like moving your hand through water. The faster you try to move your hand, the harder the water pushes back.

In tests by Consumer Reports, driving at 75 miles per hour instead of 65 miles per hour reduced fuel economy by between 3 and 5 miles per gallon, depending on the vehicle.

4. Bumper-buzzing
Tailgating wastes gas. Every time the driver ahead taps his brakes, you have to slow down even more than he did. (That's because you can't react immediately so you have to slow even more because you're slowing down later.) Then you accelerate again to get back up to speed and resume your bumper-buzzing routine.

Hang back and you'll be safer - plus you'll be able to drive more smoothly and use less fuel.

5. Driving standing still
You've probably heard that it takes more gas to restart a car than to let it run. Maybe that used to be true, but it isn't anymore. With modern fuel-injection engines, it takes very little extra gas to restart a car once it's warmed up.

Idling, meanwhile, burns about a half-mile worth of gas every minute, according to the California Energy Commission.

6. Short hops
For really short trips, take advantage of the opportunity to get some exercise. Try walking to the store instead of driving. You can save gas and burn a few calories instead.

Go to your farthest destination first so your engine has a chance to reach its optimal operating temperature. Then make your other stops on the way back. With the engine warmed up, the car will restart easily and run efficiently all the way home.


The moral of this post is:

Use these tips. The first two can improve your fuel economy by up to 35 percent, according to tests conducted by Edmunds.com.
