I went last Thursday for a supposedly free Lasik evaluation at the Lasik Vision Institute and have so many complaints.

First, the advertised price of $299 per eye is bullsh*t. That price is advertised to people with a limited problem with their eyes, and although my prescription was not far from the $299 one, I was initially offered a price of $1750 per eye. The “counselor” is basically a salesperson (in my case a loud Italian with an obnoxiously large nose and a few missing teeth) that tries to take as much money from you as possible. I was able to get this price down to $1250 per eye, which really doesn’t make sense since one eye was much worse than the other.

Second, I was quoted a price without seeing a doctor. Two different nurses, used a couple machines to check out my eyes and I was then put in the back with the “counselor.” First of all, I don’t trust a couple of nurses with BS degrees to check out my eyes. Second, the LVI states that you must have a doctor look at your eyes before you…

Things I Hate:

When your favorite song comes on the radio and you wanna sing as loud as possible and someone calls that you must answer.

When you anticipate your shampoo will soon run out and you buy a new bottle, and no matter how much you over-shampoo it seems like the bottle will never end.

When you have one too many eleectronics and you have to either switch off between two things or buy a whole new surge protector for one plug.

When people blindly support someone based on ethnicity rather than credentials.

When your favorite show is on and the cable decides to create humongous, annoying pixels across your screen.

State troopers.

When Dish Network installs their equipment and they give you a DVR without offering the HD DVR for free, and when you realize it and you want to switch to the HD DVR two days later they say they must charge you $150.

People who think you’re unorganized just because your things aren’t kept the way they like it, even though you know where everything is, and once they “organize” it their way, you can’t find anything and are much more unorganized than you ever…

You may not expect this, but the richest person in China is a female. Yang Huiyan, is only 26, and has inherited 7.4 billion. Her father, Yeung Kwok Keung, owned Country Garden Holdings Co, which he sold last April in the Hong Kong Stock exchange. Garden Holdings is a real estate investment group that focuses on building townhouses and villas in China. If you ever go to China ask how much the average townhouses cost there. They are so expensive that the majority of the population cannot live there, Chinese constructors build houses for the wealthy affluent foreigners.

Basically, Keung buys cheap land and builds villas with cheap labor. He then sells them for extremely high prices, because foreigners can buy them. That’s how to get rich in China, or any developing country. All you need is connections and kick the poor people out to build on their land.

Chinese hustling Chinese.

Yeah.

Every time I try to pay my ATT bill it’s always a hassle. Their automated message systems and the people are extremely incomptennt. Here’s how my call went.

1. I get an automated message and get transfered to an operator.
2. I say my customer number to the operator #1, she says ok and puts me on hold.
3. While on hold, I get transfered back to a different automated message.
4. I manage to speak to operator #2  and tell her my customer number.
5. She can’t deal with my type of account, so she sends me to somebody who can do that.
6. Operator #3 will have to charge me a fee, if she processes my payment, which is weird because I’ve done it before with an operator for free. I tell her I’ll just use the automated message system to pay.
7. I give the automated message system my customer number and it transfers me to operator #4. She finally takes my payment without fee.

It took 18 minutes and four different operators to pay my bill.

This isn’t the first time, I’ve been juggled around the ATT support network; they’re so big that they can’t give the correct training to…

Tonight, I went to Amy’s Ice Cream and wasn’t too pleased with the service. The line wasn’t long when I got there, but it took at least 15 minutes to get my ice cream. I really don’t get how tough serving ice cream and shakes can be. But apparently the three employees had a hard time.

 
I was with two other people and we were going to order together. One person served all three of us, rather than all three helping. I don’t get the logic here, but one of the employees refused to serve me because there was somebody else helping my two friends. That employee also took the time to chat with a coworker, after turning me down. My first impression of Amy’s Ice Cream is that it has a really relaxed atmosphere. But that guy really ruined it for me, and made Amy’s Ice Cream seem like a haven where slouches can work. This is a perfect example of how a successful business gets bad publicity.

 
Let’s talk about making money.

Anyways even with bad employees, Amy’s Ice Cream is totally a cash cow. Their return of investment…

If I had sold Tibetan merchandise in San Francisco, London, or Paris, I would be extremely rich. It seems everybody and their mothers came out to support Tibet and the “human rights” issue. Below is a video that shows how informed these people really are.

 

 
If you can’t find Tibet on a map, why are you protesting? If you say for “human rights”, I’m going to ask where you find your sources; watching Seven Years in Tibet isn’t enough to call yourself an expert on Tibet. The only reason these people are protesting is because of the publicity the media is giving them. For all you Tibet supporters, why didn’t ya’ll feel so strongly Tibet last year? There are so many other issues today that the world should focus their attention on. For instance, the fighting in Somalia, Darfur, or the food crisis in Senegal, all have more precedence than human rights in Tibet; yet, human rights in Tibet seems to be the most worthy of the protesters’ voice.

Here is a website that is campaigning for Tibet. If you look at the human rights…

Have you ever been scrolling a news site and saw the most popular stories? Have you ever noticed that the most popular are always the most insignificant stories? It looks like people would rather read about the James Bond car, a symphony that’s too loud, and Frank Rich than the election or other news that really has a much greater affect on us, including me! I guess things like the election and wars over seas seem to have more of an indirect affect, or we’re just not as connected to them as the great James Bond cars. It’s pretty interesting to see what people’s interest really are and I get to see it every day when I see what keywords rank best in our blog. We get the most traffic by far from the Hawt Girls category and I can see why!

If I ever happen to wake up early I go to McDonald’s for quick breakfast. The same guy is at the drive-thru every time and is rude as hell. He asks “What do you want?,” doesn’t tell you to go to the 2nd window, and when he hands you your drink he says “Here!.” But I never get mad because I would be rude as hell too. I would be so mad if a McDonald’s manager, not exactly the greatest of managers, forced me to work the 6 AM shift every day. I would hate on every person that comes through and hope that idiot manager fires me so I have an excuse to search for a better job.

By the way, Rick Ross quote of the day from MTV Cribs: “Sometimes I come through and put my ice on…because I hate global warming.”

What’s the deal with all those people hating on China? Free Tibet? China has helped Tibet prosper by getting rid if their feudal system and helping them raise their GDP. If you think Tibet would be better off being fully autonomous think again! If you got your facts on Tibet from Brad Pitt’s movie “Tibet”, read Dr. Parenti article about how Tibetans were treated by their own government before China took control.

They Tibetans don’t want independence from China but only improved human rights. I don’t know if the Tibetans who riot and resort to violence really get the message across.

 
Yeah, the people of Tibet might be oppressed, but the people of China aren’t? If you’re going to fight for anything, fight for the Chinese people. It’s really silly to see people trying to stop the torch’s flame, because of the human rights issue in Tibet. Trying to use the Olympics as leverage for propaganda-”Free Tibet”- is ridiculous.

 
Anyways, if you’re going to boycott the Olympics because of this issue, I feel sorry for you. China will put on the most impressive…

This is probably one of the funniest things I’ve seen in a long time. I highly doubt there is a program like this that works: Paypal has their database on lock and theres no way some lame ass program like this would come close to hacking it. If it was that easy I’d be retired right now and sitting by the beach sipping a margarita.

 

This program reminds me of movies that have fake programs to do crazy things, like in Die Hard 4: They had a computer program that shutdown the power grid.

 

Yeah.
