When I moved out on my own, among housewarming gifts I got was a toolset. Wrenches, Screwdrivers, a Socket Wrench, Measuring Tape...all the basics. Though the family friends said "Everyone should have this stuff, minimum", I wondered if I'd have been gifted this if I were a woman. Then again...

I got a 26. Interestingly, many statements that sound like they should have been linked or gone hand in hand, did NOT when I answered them honestly.

I was taught shortly out of High School about a simple concept which follows me everywhere I go. "Price is not just money. Price is what you are willing to give up to get what you want." Convenience store prices are higher because that's how they choose to counter giving you the ability to...

Oh Boy, Here we go. I have a high voice, and most of my peeves stem from it. Don't insist I speak/threaten to punt me if I don't speak, then make fun of my voice when I do. This is going to encourage me to speak up the next time...how, exactly? Don't try to guess my age, you're always off...

I got this a lot working a concession stand. Three Cups for Popcorn, Easily distinguishable as larger or smaller in comparison to the others. Prices right Above, Small, Medium Large. "Which one is a Medium?" Also...when I worked there, apparently there was a Size I was never educated on. A...

I dislike the Halo Series, but it'd have to be broken before I would give it a 4. I see review scores like Test Scores. 50 or 5/10 or 2.5/5 stars etc is a Minimal Pass. It works, but that's about it. A 2 couldn't be more blatantly a call for attention if you set up your own stage and spotlights.

I can only think of a Don't. DON'T Start them in competitive multiplayer. Cooperative Multi or Single Player with gentle guidance. Their first few games, if others are involved, make sure you trust them all. Getting punted often from competitve multiplayer games has jaded me from the Genre...

~ Up Twitter's Character count to around 500, but allow only one tweet per name per day. More space, but make it count. ~ Three logins to social media sites like Facebook per day. "Keep Me Logged In" options unavailable. ~ Bait and switch youtube videos will result in temporary bans. ~...

Cutthroat Island is the Least Financially Successful Movie made. In the Box Office, it raked in a mere 11 Million. It cost 100 Million to make, for an 89% Loss. The Blair Witch Project is the Most Financially Successful. For every dollar spent to make it, it raked in just under 11,000! A...

What agitates me the most is enemy powers designed to destroy/steal your magic/technique power. MP Sapping/Stealing abilities. Often, those powers exist in a game where items that restore it are incredibly expensive. As an example, I went back to playing Earthbound recently and found myself...

October 28th Charlie Daniels (Musician, "The Devil Went Down to Georgia") Bill Gates Julia Roberts John Romero (Yikes) I also learned my birthday is a Holiday in Greece marking their entry into World War 2, and the Feast Day of St. Jude...the Patron Saint of "Lost Causes and Hopeless...

I honestly think it's the changes in how kids are raised that have made them so intolerable. Nowadays when a kid has an issue, it's anyone's fault but theirs, or even worse, anyone's fault but theirs OR their parents'. I find it best summed up in an old political cartoon I saw a while ago...

I was inundated out of ever liking them at a particular job where the radio was only allowed to be on one station. Said station played Nickelback 5 times in 4 hours, and only 3 songs. Worse than that, their playlist seldom changed, to the point where I knew the time by what was playing. The...

Let's make this short. I bought the special edition (360) from Gamestop. Used the codes, got my early-adopter treats. Now, every time I RETURN to the game, I am told "Corrupted Downloadable Content Detected", and must DELETE all my DLC to be allowed to play the game, redownloading it once...

Anyone who believes your stance on one topic/issue/movie/book/game/musical artist is enough to render all your other opinions as beneath consideration.
