I was in Walmart today and Holy shit a lot of people shop there! It is absolutely amazing! There is a new Walmart SuperCenter about 2-3 miles from my house and every time I drive passed it there is close to a full lot of cars parked.
Makes you want to buy stock in Walmart! Oh...and Yes, there were some funky ass creatures shopping at Walmart. Great people watching!

Cracks me up to see all these broads working out with their hair all done up, make-up popping and perfume smelling. YOU ARE AT A FITNESS CENTER, not a fucking wedding!

For all you NE Illinois folk, if you travel North on Fairfield Rd from Route 120, it dead ends just as you pass Lake Villa. I thought you could go North all the way to Antioch (route 173). Not so.

Sometimes numbers get so high that it is hard to understand what they mean. Here's a great example.
How much money is $17.5 Billion? Well, it is a pile of $100 bills the height of 50 Washington Monuments. About 5 miles straight up!
Conversion.
$1 billion= a stack of $100 bills is a tad over 1/4 mile high (3 Wash Monuments high!)
1 mile of stacked $100 bills = $3.5 billion
Good to know if you want to explain how much a fuck load of money looks like!

Got so slammed tonight with my old man that by the end of the night the bartender asked me what I wanted to drink and I replied, "Chips and Salsa."
Oh boy!
Oh boy!

What it takes for a country to grow its GDP....
Listening to an interview of Byron Weins, the following countries have to invest the following to grow their GDP by $1.
US needs to invest $6 to grow US' GDP $1
UK needs to invest $2 to grow UK's GDP $1
China needs to invest $1 to grow China's GDP $1.
hmm...those US margins SUCK!

52% of China's 2009 total oil consumption had to be imported from abroad.
Here are the top 3 suppliers to China
Saudi Arabia 32.8%
Angola 25.6%
Iran 20.2%
FYI...US is heavily dependent on Canada, Mexico, Venezuela and Nigera.
As you can see, China is dependent upon the Middle East.

I guess Youtube has an internal "block" or "sensor" feature that if you use unauthorized music in a home video that they will just mute ALL audio in the video.
Here's an example

Was off work today b/c of Presidents Day.
I feel like during every non-festive Holiday, I feel more and more like a bump on a log on my day off. Just feel unproductive when I'm not working.
Perhaps if that is the case I should go out and get plowed the night before a day off so at least I can act like I am accomplishing something the next day when I try and crack my hangover!
shizzzzle!

HOLY SHIT are malls empty! Besides department stores, they are just about the most worthless way to shop these days!
I went today where there were a bunch of President Day's Sales and I tell you, it was ghost town on the supply of merchandise! Pretty sad actually!
However, there still are STILL the creepy teens that roll around the mall in packs looking for easy puntang! ahahhaaha...funny shit to watch!

SELLING options is a great way to pick up premium in the stock market. ***Options are a bit complicated and if you have questions...post a comment and I will reply***
I like to sell puts in stocks that I would like to own and are unsure of my entry point. Sell a out of the money put and ring in the premium of the option...if it pulls back and you get put the stock, you are happy anyway...if the stock drifts higher..you gain the premium. Just make sure if you think you might get put the stock that you have enough money in your account to be able to fund your buys.
Giddy up!

When measuring and cutting Wood...DONT FORGET TO TAKE IN ACCOUNT THE WIDTH OF THE SAW BLADE! This comes in handy when you need a bunch of lengths of wood and you add all the lengths up to come up with one large slab of wood. Make sure you give yourself a little extra.
...I learned this the hard way! hahah!

Lehman Brothers went bankrupt in September of 2008. The majority of their CEO's compensation was tied to stock. At one point their CEO, Dick Fuld, was worth about $1 billion at the peak of Lehman's highest stock price. When Lehman went bankrupt, his stock was worth $65,486.72.
Whoops!
Whoops!
