Lately I have been writing long posts

I hope this blog doesn't become relevant. That would be a disaster.

Dumb Criminals

At work this weekend, I was working. While working at work, I noticed a box of bananas was missing. My first thought was that someone must have loaded it. moments later a guy walking from his home ask if we sell del monte bananas. I said yes we do. He then tells me there is a whole box of them in front of his yard. I walk to his home, pick up the box and walk back.

Why the fuck would someone want the steal a whole box of bananas? Are they that desperate or something? That was a very stupid of choice of the item to steal. Firstly it's the box is 40lbs, and the dumb ass had no car. So he was walking up a gentle incline, he got to about a half a block, realizing that this shit is heavy, he then ditched it. ( I assume that it is a he because I don't think a women would be dumb enough to steal that shit, also because walking with that shit is heavy, and the fence that he through it over is just above six (illegal height for a residential fence but I would say anything) you have to be pretty strong). The dude didn't even that a single bunch. All that work for nothing.

Even if he took the whole box what would he gain? At cost that box is $18.50. That is probably the heaviest 18.50 he tried to steal. He would be better off if that 18.50 was in 5 cent Mexican pesos coins. If he were to sell it on the street for profit, I think he could do at most 20 cents a pound (really would you want to buy bananas from some guy off the street?). Simple computation tells us that 40 times .20 equals 8 dollars, eight fucking dollars. I am laughing at this dumbass.

Secondly how long do you think thoughts bananas would last? The bananas at your house, probably one week at most. These bananas had a ripe code of 5, which means yellow with a green tip. Some like to eat bananas at this point, (firm, some flavor) but I like to wait. These bananas would fully ripen in one day if out on your counter. But in this industry there are rules about bananas.

The more bananas together the quicker they ripen. This is because the gas one banana produces (ethylene gas) when ripening, affects other surrounding bananas accelerating their ripening and thus producing more ethylene gas to accelerate everyone's acceleration.

The bananas are packed in plastic sheets. These sheets are like bags, but have two cuts top and bottom. Inside the box the sheet act like a cover keeping the gas the bananas produce from escaping. While is another agent of ripening acceleration.

I can conclude from this information and experience that whole 40lb box of bananas would have black spots (leopard, is the actual term used in this industry) by two days. Lessening the street value of the bananas to around compost to free.

Smart things to steal would be, not food.

Do you like apple? No will I don't

sometimes you just feel drained. Like me for instance, drained. I am typing this on a macintosh, the keyboard suck terribly. why would you design a keyboard that is concaved? So unnatural, and is not ergonomic. the concaved portion makes the home row have longer strokes and the bottom is no where to be found. I must look down to be able to type. Shitty, Shitty.

I am talking about this keyboard:

I wholeheartedly agree.

on the issue of fruit, I would say that oranges are better than apples. All fruit is doused with pesticides, herbicides, spermicides, genocides and any other 'cide or side you can think of. On top of that apples are treated with preservatives for storage. Even your 'organic apples' have some preservatives going on, (not to mention the 'cides runoff from non-organic portion of the farm getting into the roots of the trees and into the apples, in the US to be considered 'organic' you only need to pass only a few less stringent criteria compared to other countries). Since apples can't last all year round without rotting, and the people's needs for apples everyday, they need to be stored in gas filled rooms so they don't turn bad. All that 'cide really interacts with the back of my throat, it really really itches.

I have the same reaction to peaches and nectarines, which is torture becuase I really like the taste of peaches.

With oranges yeah they still use 'cides, but I can peel the peel, there goes most of the preserves and some of the 'cides. And they don't make me itch. All citrus this year is excellent (sweet).

Hair, Shears, and the XX chromosome

Ladies when you ask, 'do you like my hair cut?'
And I, or whomever of the male gender replies, 'I didn't realize you got your hair cut'
That is a good thing.
Do not get mad at us because you think we not paying attention to you, seriously. Not realizing you got a hair cut is probably the best complement you can get, for the simple reason that it shows that we like you the way you are, and your hair wasn't bad in the first place.
Cutting your hair changes the way we first noticed you. Any major change will require time to adjust and during that time we are just not used to the way you look. There is a longer, more in depth look at this topic somewhere online, or probably in the back issues of one of your cosmos or seventeen (whatever it is girls read these days).
We realize you hair is very important to you, but not so much to us, as long as you don't change it too drastically.

When you associate music albums with people, and when that person is gone, never to be heard from again. It's hard to listen to that album. You'll always think of that person when listening, but I'd be shattered if I were to never be able to listen to the album again. It's not that we are masochists, we are just human.

No need for grams

This isn't a rant about the metric system, or for old people.

This is about grammar, what it represents and what it is used for.

It has been taught to you no matter where is were born, what time or what place. Whether you liked it or not grammar has effected you and you learned if you learned how to speak, listen, or read.

Grammar would not be a problem if everyone in the world all spoke the same language and the same way, but we don't. My problem with grammar is the way it is used. Plainly:

Grammar is used to discriminate.

The 'correct' use of grammar allows you to be in the acceptance of groups. The grammatical groups see it as, 'well this person knows the same rules as me, so that person must be as at least as intelligent as me'. By using 'improper' grammar rules you will be frowned upon and laughed at. By the different grammatical rules others have created, every time you speak you are subjecting yourself to the judgment of your 'intellect' and to some your 'worth'. I find this appalling.

With the world getting more and more smaller, grammatical discrimination needs to end. We all don't speak the same language, we all don't learn the same way. Today's world is a multicultural society without borders. To judge some one on the word order of which they speak should be meaningless, but old habits die hard.

More and more people these days are left out of jobs, apartments and just plain treated badly, because of the judgment of their grammar by others. Yesterday in the US, was Martin Luther King Day, January 19. For those who don't know Dr. King spoke of equality for all races, creeds, religions, and genders among other things. I think that many, if they were to sit down and think about it, would see that this is discrimination and in today's world discrimination needs to end.


For those who are waiting to jump on this post attacking all my grammatical 'mistakes', the internet has a fitting term for these people, Grammar Nazi.

I got this automatic withdraw thing going on with my bank

You'd think it would help me keep an eye out on the balance of my accounts. No I don't think so. I can already picture this post being a mess of incoherent jargon about some value or moral that conflicts with me so I will save you the trouble.

The things we do for money.



Just money

Reasons why

I need to eat 3700 calories a day. Do ya all remember when I was monitoring what I was eating? Ya it's like that but I need to eat more. My target weight is one hundred and seventy five pounds at less than ten percent body fat. I am currently at one hundred and sixty five pounds and stuck there. Months ago I was barely breaking one hundred and fifty seven pounds and that was probably more than well hydrated. I have gained a consistent ten pounds in three months. In the holiday months you would think gaining weight would be easy, but it is not. Over eating ruins my appetite, and the many people that know me, knows that I can eat a lot and this is no understatement. When I was younger I drank a lot of milk. Whole milk, two percent, I drank it all. I do not know if that contributed to my growth, but I think it had. We are all taller than are parents, by one sole reason. We are feed better. We are meeting nutrition goals. This allows are bodies too grow bigger. I remember in the first presidential debate of the 2008 election. Republican candidate, John McCain said the North Koreans are four inches shorter than South Koreans. (I think it was four). His point was that North Koreans are more malnourished than South Koreans. He could have chosen a better indicator but that was what was written on his crib sheet. Children do not know what type of person they want to be, but a lot of people would say as adults 'they would like to be taller'. If children grow up to become adults, then by logic they would like to be taller and yet the only known factors that contribute to height is genetics, nutrition, and disease. Genetics and some diseases can not be controlled, but nutrition can. So if you want to satisfy your children never let them skip a meal.
