Exploiting McDonnalds

So I read this really cool post about a couple suing McDonalds for several million dollar for what the readers of the site call sheer stupidity.  A really interesting thought crossed my mind as I read these comments – what if the couple did it on purpose?  I mean their stupidity as most have called it, could be nothing more than exploiting the legal system and McDonalds’ to their fullest potential.  Think about it…The couple does not lose anything:

If they are crazy enough to store private information on the most none-private devices, then parade around with it.  Who is to say that they did not show these pictures to other people?  How do we know that these pictures were to remain private and that this was all a freak accident with them as innocent bystanders?

How did they know to search the porn sites to find the pictures they took?  I mean there are million porn sites out there, what was their search criterion as they prowled the Internet world of porn?

I think these people are not stupid but cleaver. They have nude picture on the phone and they show them around – they gain nothing.  Nude pictures seen by others and now a possibility of gaining $3 million that’s what I call a “Genius Couple”. They took a lemon and made nudie lemonade out of it.

Why People Don’t Like “Chain” Personal Trainers

No wonder people dislike trainers that train in major (chain) sports clubs.  Now not to shit where I sit, but I just started working at a sports club – NYSC – and already they want me to book clients for them.  They don’t care that I still don’t have the actual certificate yet.  Let me rephrase that, they want me to get my certificate ASAP they just don’t care that I train people in the mean time without it.

I have noticed how these so called trainers – my colleagues- train and let me tell you, most of their clients don’t know how to keep good form while they are exercising.  Now if our job as trainers is to safe guard our client’s well being and at the same time attain the client’s desired results, it seems that the NYSC cares more about selling packages and then being a trainer even if it’s to the detriment of their client’s health (joints and what not) in the long run.

Out of the whole bunch of us (me including), there is ONE trainer whom I have seen who really knows what he is doing and is dedicated to the form and fitness of his clients.  I hope to I learn quickly from the best of our trainer(s) and then leave the sports club.  I have seen trainers in other training facilities where they care more about their client then booking the next appointment.  Caring more about money over the welfare of client’s just does not seem to sit well with me.

I’m working…Finally!

Well the good news is I’ll be working come Monday!  I’m very excited.  After a four month break, it was getting to a point were I was going insane.  I learned that I could only be without work for so long before I start going nuts.  Money aside, the fact that I have very little human interaction was causing me to lose my marbles.  Being a very social person, I’m all about meeting new people, learning new things and generally having a good time

Being home, I studied a lot, but it wasn’t the same.  The Internet is a vast cool place to learn many things, but it is not interactive and social as the real human being.

I have to admit that I am a little bit frustrated with the whole hiring process.  I mean I was told I’d start working Nov 3rd, I was then told that they can’t find my information.  Long story short, after a three-week waiting period I am on board!  WooHoo!

And some bad news…found out that my body mass ratio to fat is over the max bracket for my height.  ;-(

This means I will have to step it up a notch, actually step it up big time in the gym, so that I get into shape and drop the ratio to it’s appropriate number.

Dating Pretty People

I have recently started dating.  It has been a long while – close to four months – since I last dated.  I have been avoiding the dating seen like a plague.  It seemes that people are mainly interested in the “game” of dating.  Girls trying to squeeze the last penny out of guys, and guys trying to get these girls to pay up – in the bedroom.  I know I’m stereotyping but after dating guys from Europe/Russia, I found that New York guys are soooo not up to par, and so I gave up dating.

Several weeks ago I ran into a friend, who has changed dramatically and for the better.  I have to say his looks took my breath away.  I am exaggerating a bit, but he is one hot piece of meat, bluntly put.  I have dated good-looking guys before and it’s always a treat.  This one was a treat and a half.  Talk about Mr. Narcissi syndrome.  I have never met someone who was so into himself.  “Look at me and my abs, I don’t believe in being fat.  So do you know a joke (usually slap jokes with no wit)?”

I have heard people talk about pretty people being conceited, shallow, and dumb at times, but I never experienced it myself. Not to knock him, but when you are a pretty face and nothing upstairs… I say invest in your brains.  And if you are everything upstairs (really smart) invest time in your appearance.  Make yourself an all around sex bomb.

I have to admit I enjoy dating good-looking people, but if they can’t stimulate my brain, it is very hard for me to be motivated to see them again and again and again

Updates

I am getting discuraged from the whole job hunting business.  Granted we are in recession and many are being laid off daily, but I’m beginning to think that it’s practically hopeless. As much as I love being home and doing my own thing, I want to be out there making money and learning new things.

Gotta keep at it, gotta keep going!!!  I will find a job.

I do have my very first private client.  We have a goal of 10lbs to lose, so I’m really excited.  Study time goes to over time and it’s time to hit the gym!

Says Who????

Why is it that the majority of people listens and assumes that those who are on TV know what they are doing and talking about?

I mean just because someone is an actor/actress and make more money than they will ever need, why do we automatically assume that they have something worthwhile to say?

I mean lets take Mr. Cruise as an example…he’s a really good businessman yet we listen to everything that come out of his mouth as if he’s god…  Since when did we lose our own brains to other people?

I know so many brilliant people who are savvy, smart, makes lots of money and keep a very low profile.  The many things they accomplish are astonishing…  I also know people who are not so rich and influential, yet they help out in anyway they can, whenever people need help.

It’s interesting how back in the day there were people who adopted children from different third world countries.  Provided homes for them, cared for them, opened their hearts and families to them and nobody thought of it as extraordinary.  Yet since Ms. Jolie started branding adoption from other third world countries, it’s a trend and many follow it like it’s a fashion statement.

I know I sound very mad right now, I just find it very disturbing that when something is done on a social level it’s not talked about by majority of people.  But when a selected few begin to brag and wag their tales people start to pay attention.

(by the way: I really do admire much of the work Ms. Jolie & Mr. Pitt have done.  I do not have any respect for Mr. Cruise – he’s vile in my eyes)

History

Did you know that the only reason why history repeats itself is because we haven’t learned from it in the first place.  I don’t mean dates, I mean the grounding concept behind it

I may be repeating myself, but it needs to be said and understood.

Here is another thought:

Let’s take Oprah as an example, she has no children and no family to speak of and billions of dollars, several homes to her name and much, much more.  She is in many ways a very influential and admired person.  I think she’s a great role model in terms of success stories.  But sooner or later, she will die and all the billions in the world wouldn’t change that fact.

So why does she and many other billionaires, millionaires and other rich folks work day-in-and-day out?  It seems that they are in a much better and stronger position to change the way the world is shaped today yet they do very little.  At least it seems so to me.

It seems that the more money we have the greedier we become, and I am no exception, believe me, I’m not.  But I hope to be a little different, in a word – humble.  I hope you’ll aspire to be the same.

I think I’m a bit ranty but I just feel that money is money and we shouldn’t merit people by how much green they have, but we should value them by how much good they do.

Drunk Driving…Would You do it?

We all heard that drunk driving is not cool, so I will not go into the details of the good and the bad of it.  But I want to share two experiences with you.

Being a passenger of a drunk driver:

About two years ago a bunch of my friends when to the Brooklyn Brewery in Williamsburg for beers, laughs and a general good time.  Two hours later we decide to head to a different spot, Bembe, not too far from the Brewery.  Since it was wintertime and blistering cold with winds that were making it hard to breath, see and walk we decided to drive there.

My best friend has a high tolerance level for beer, so I have been a passenger in his car many times after having a few beers.  Unfortunately his car was jam-packed and so I was stuck as a passenger with a guy I just met.  At the Brewery he seemed cool and under control.  I got in the car and he started driving following my friend’s car in front.  Though I knew how to get to Bembe, I wasn’t too sure, so we tailgated.  We passed two intersections with no stop signs, and I noticed that both times the driver thought there were stop signs and slowed down.  I pointed out that we didn’t have to slow down and I began to wonder how intoxicated is he that he didn’t notice what he was doing.

Two things happened during the two times he slowed down when he didn’t have to: The car in front of us was further away from us and therefore passed the third intersection way before we did.  My driver was worried about losing the front car and drove faster.  On the third intersection assuming that there would be no stop sign he did not slow down as he did before.  When I noticed that he wasn’t slowing down, I calmly told him to do so since there was a stop sign.  Unfortunately his reaction time was slow in response to my request, but he did start telling me to relax and that he knew what he was doing as he accelerated so that he wouldn’t lose the car in front of us.

Being Nice with Water on Rocks

Why is it that when people – mainly guys – meet outgoing, nice people – mainly gals – who happen to be single by choice, they automatically assume that these girls want to have sex by the end of the night?

I mean what happened to plain good fun, and wanting to have a great time with people without the constant, “do you want to go to my place?”  It’s like SERIOUSLY?  Just because I know how to have a good time and enjoy being around people does not mean I want to go sleep with you.  It means I like to have a good time, and spending time with people, instead of the TV and love human interaction.  And then, when you turn them down they all get upset, “Why did you have to lead me on?”  It’s like “dude – it’s called being nice and having a good time.”  It seems that people forgot what it’s like to be nice without consequences – mainly the “let go to bed with me” – grrrrrr.

It’s like I have to LIE to these morons and tell them I have a boyfriend for them to get that I’m simply outgoing and love to have lots of laughs and make everyone around me have a pleasant time.  I mean shit.

Oh and another thing, these days I’m trying to drink less as I noticed that I have more fun that way.  Which seems to be another concept not well taken by the majority of people who go out, and again I have to LIE and say I’m driving just so that they buzz off.  Now I just tell the bar tender to give me water on rocks.  Water On Rocks!!!!!! with a lemon so that I “fit” in.

It’s so interesting how truth these days is not what people want to hear.
