What's One Thing You've Always Wanted - Technology

Ok, the question for the day is, what is one thing you've always wanted that is concerned with Technology.  How might you go about getting it?

Lately, I've been wanting a Tesla Roadster.  This car is awesome, a true weekend warrior car.  It's a sports car, that is 100% electric.  That's right.  It gets good miles on the charge as well.  Only problem?  It cost about $100k.  So, how am I going to get this beast?

I think the only way I'll be able to get it is to work smarter and not harder.  I'm going to have to formulate a plan to put every dollar I get to work for me.  I'm going to have to work out an investing strategy.  Be it stocks, or turn key investments.  Heck, I might even be able to start my own business.

I'm also going to have to take charge of the way I handle my money.  No more wasteful spending.  I'm going to have to keep a tight fist on that money.  I can't just go out and spend it like I normally do.

Now, that I know what I have to do, it's time to start setting goals.

Stupid Things People Do - Family

There are lots of stupid things people do.  One of them is something far too many people do during the Holidays.  Not only do people eat way too much during the Holidays, as though it's an excuse to indulge, People are often too lazy.

That's right, People sit around doing much of nothing on the Holidays.  Instead of sitting down on your butt, why not for a change get up and play games with the kids or something.

I was spending time with my Second Cousins and someone just had to say something.  Good thing I didn't hear them say anything.  Something about me spending too much time with them.  Bah, that's a bunch of B.S. if you ask me.  Tell me something, what's wrong with people spending time with their family?  What's wrong with people actually playing with the younger generation?  Remember when we were kids?  We used to run around the yard like there was no tomorrow.

And this is why people will always be fat.  Too fricken lazy to get off their butt's.  Instead, they'd rather sit around and socialize.  Yeah, like that's really productive?  When you're trying to lead an active lifestyle, sometimes, the best way to do that, is getting out their with the kids in your family.

This is the exact reason why some families split apart and they don't even talk to each other.  Because people don't spend enough time with them when they are little.  This is the kind of ignorance we need to shy away from.  Many Christians believe there will come a time when the Blind will lead the Youth.  I think that time is now.  It's happening right in our own families.  People are so stupid, so blind, so self centered, that they'll quickly point out something that THEY, don't think is quite right.

Is this a Society of Ignorant, Baffling Fools that we live in?  I don't know about you, but I'd say half of my family is about Brain Dead.  What say you?

What's Your Favorite Thing To Put On The Grill?

I think this post will be a question more so than a post.  Just this past weekend was the 4th of July weekend.  It's a reason to celebrate.  Cookouts, Food, Family, Friends, did I mention Food?  Ah, the classic American excuse to break out the grill.

So, my question for you today is this -

What's your favorite thing to put on the grill?

I'd have to say that mine would be a good Hamburger.  I love a good Hamburger.  Throw on some Cheese, Lettuce or Baby Spinach, Tomato, and Pickles and you have yourself one mean burger.  Now, from time to time I don't mind a good Onion on there, but I'm not much of an Onion fan.  That is, when it comes to raw Onions.  When they are cooked, sauteed is the best, I'm all for it.

Hope your week is good and prosperous.

Will America Fall?

It's come to my attention that America is behind the times.  How?  Simply put, America is still majorly dependent on oil.  While Americans are highly addicted to oil, the Swedish are trying to become the first country to be completely free of the need for oil.

So, what's America's problem?  Why are so many Americans still concerned with oil?

American's aren't even trying to reduce the gasoline that they use.  Next time you are driving on a Major Highway, or Interstate, look around you at the people in the vehicles.  How many four door Pickup Trucks do you see driving the roads with only one person in them?  How many people do you see driving and they are the only person in the vehicle to begin with?  This is a major problem.  More and more people should be car pooling.  Car Pooling would drastically reduce the amount of cars on the road and the amount of oil we use.  If every car on the road had four people in it instead of only one, we could easily reduce the consumption of oi and the amount of cars by half.  Possibly by two thirds.

The Problem?

America, rather The World has a problem.  Oil is drastically reducing in the amount available, yet what are we doing to make ourselves less dependent on it?  How many trucks out there are using Oil to transport our goods?  Every major highways has tons of trucks on it.  These big trucks use a lot of oil and gas.  This is a very inefficient way to produce food and products.

The Solution?

Did you know that we can now produce plastic from corn?  Corn is a renewable resource.  Renewable resources are the key here.  Not only that, how much paper do we throw away?  How much plastic do we throw away?   What about metals?  So much gets throw away or thrown on the sides of the road, it's not even funny.  If everyone in America recycled what they could, we'd have less need to cut down trees, mine metals, and use oil to create plastic.  The more and more people that use a certain product, the cheaper it becomes to make.

What about cars?  How are we supposed to get to work?

Start investing in Hybrids, better yet, ditch the Hybrids all together and go electric.  Electric cars aren't the greatest in the world, but they have come a long way.  With a bit of shopping around, you can find an electric car that gets a decent amount of miles on it before you have to recharge it.  If that fails you, move closer to town.  In fact, move in town and buy local organic foods.  It's a lot healthier for you and without a car to worry about, you'll be able to afford that Organic food.  Not to mention, you'll be getting exercise, which is also good for you.

If you own a business and both you and your spouse drive, consider taking the same vehicle.  At least that will cut down on emissions and use of gas/oil.

Will America Fall?

That's up to the American people.  Are you going to continue to be dependent on Oil?  Are you going to continue to let your government be dependent on Oil?  This dependency on Oil is a major disaster waiting to happen.  Sweden is way ahead of the game.  What are we going to do?  Wait until America falls and our currency is useless?  You know how hard it's going to be to get that technology we need from Sweden then?  Difficult to say the least.  Sweden's goal is 2020 to become and entirely oil free country.  Will they make it?  They've got not even nine more years.  We'll have to wait and see.
