The Week in Review: Money Issues #41

“The Week in Review: Money Issues” is my weekly blog research on financial topics that define us as Americans, and shape the way we should do business.

Damn it all to hell, my eyes hurt … pretty badly I might add here!

I’ve been on this computer (with its three screens) way too long this morning, and I still have a long waiting game until quitting time! So anyways … how’s your day going so far? You’re not at a “Mc Job” are you (please don’t say yes)? Suit and tie kind of place (Nooooo …)? Yea, that was my life a while back (when I lived up north) but down here in the Sunshine State not many people are forced to dress that way (unless their boss is a d#$k, of course!) Yea, most of us actually come to work in what most people would wear in the summer months (I steadily rock flips, shorts, and tees) … but we do it all year long! Actually, South Florida would be perfect if it weren’t for the long, dreadfully hot August months, and that whole “Hurricane Season” thing (haven’t been through one yet … and I’ve been here for over three years now [knock on wood … or a palm tree … whatever!])

Well, enough of my shenanigans … here go the weekly blog goods that you came here for (enjoy … I certainly did):

The Huffington Post: Angelina Jolie Named World’s Most Powerful Celebrity By Forbes. Powerful? Really? That a little hard to swallow. Hot as S#%T? Oh yea … see, I would definitely check off an enthusiastic “YES” on that user poll! She looks much better on a Maxim list that a Forbes one, however! Brad Pitt’s one lucky son-of-a-gun! Yea, Jen was alright, but Angie’s definitely an upgrade!

The Truth About Cars: Hummer to China. Any Questions? Good … get this piece of s#%t out of our country (now)! I wrote about this company once … now wait a minute (I’m searching) … where the hell is it … ok, I found it … http://moneyremix.com/hummers-are-for-the-army-and-posers/. Enjoy, then laugh at Hummer owners (they deserve it, and it’s so easy to do)!

FANHOUSE: 2009 NBA Finals Predictions. These idiots are actually pinning gold stars on themselves for making a prediction amongst only two teams (hey jackasses … it’s a 50-50 shot [how hard can it get?]). To top this off, these “experts” are favoring the Lakers … better go drop a boatload of cash (kid’s college funds, Roth IRA, etc.) on the Magic!

Celebrity Gossip: Heidi Montag And Spencer Pratt: Still In Costa Rica! White trash with money! Anything for attention! I could go on and on here. This kid “claims” to know Jujutsu (“black belt”, none-the-less) but fought like a sneaky b#$ch on The Hills (I was forced to watch because it was her TV time. Man, my wife is mean]). I’m sorry Spencer, but I didn’t learn that style in my real Jujutsu training (must be the “Hollywood-style”)! What a waste of spaces!

GIZMODO: Will Hulu Become a Pay Service? In MY opinion, I think this company needs a new spokesperson! Hey Miller, want to see your company become an antique real quickly? Well, that’s what’s going to happen if you keep throwing out those vague “in my opinion” statements! Word of caution: people don’t pay to watch stuff online anymore (I thought this was “common” knowledge … oh well)!

How’d I do this week? Seriously … how’d I do? Just kidding … (I started to sound like a crazy person/ex there for a minute, didn’t I? LOL) … but this horrible coffee (oh, it’s really good and soooo bad at the same time. Know what I mean? My brain really hurts right now!) and solid focus on the monitors has made me go absolutely bonkers, and right now I might only be two steps away from the nut house (got a spare strait-jacket lying around? Please say NO!) If you agree, why not tell me about it through my feedback section (this way I can show you that I actually listen to my readers). I truly value each and every one of your comments so this is why I ask for them (I love to learn … what can I say?)!

Also, please subscribe to my feed or email if you haven’t done so yet! This way I can send you instant notifications of all my latest posts, which I crank out, half high on my black gold (read: coffee — not the hard stuff) every Monday through Friday! This is the path I have taken, and I’d love to see you come along for the ride (mark my words: one day I’ll be famous, and those corporate bastards will try to charge you for my ramblings … right now they’re free, but who knows? LOL)!

Well, I’ll see you back here Monday … I’m going to stop with the coffee for 48 hours, and take down some lagers instead (that’s just what I do on the weekends)! Man, I can see smoke coming out of my ears … I better get out of here (no laptop for me this weekend … I’m spent)! Anyway, I’ll catch you later my friend — have yourself a great weekend!
