  • evolution of cars... gas only >> hybrids >> plug-in hybrids >> 100 % EV

    don't fall for hydrogen or ethanol... the goal is 100% EV.

    no more middlemen for our energy supply...

    we will be able to get all our energy from the solar panels on our rooftops.

    no visiting gas stations  or hydrogen stations or ethanol stations.

    all the energy we need... from the sun.

    from the comfort of our own backyards.

  • i'm tired of seeing all the bing headlines. microsoft should just be happy they have a successful OS and leave it at that. stop trying to dominate everything, it's really annoying.

  • i'm starting to like amazon selling, it's fun.

    i am actually providing a service. i am taking trash from people for trash prices and selling to others as cheap treasure.

  • hey, is it racist to call someone a black guy? do i have to replace the word black with african american every time i speak? like, if i were to refer to an asian person, do i have to say asian american?

    i asked one hispanic girl at work today.. oh, that black guy? and she corrected me and said, "african american." she then went on to call this other guy.. "asian guy" so by her standards shouldn't she say, "asian american" too? wtf man.

    caucasian american? instead of white guy? fuck man, how tedious can it get.

  • hey i got another 44 surveys today. they basically let me run around ?arget looking for customers to do surveys. this weekend i think i got like 50 surveys in one day. i think the regular employee gets about 50 surveys every 3-5 months. i get them in one day. yesterday, they gave me 2 red ?arget pens to show me recognition. but my manager thought that was too cheap so she told me i could pick anything in the store that is under 20 bucks. so i got donald trump's book, "think like a champion." it was about 18 buck and 20 after tax. i'm happy about this. my manager is pretty cool. she didn't have to go out of her way to get me the gift, but she did. my goal working at ?arget was to get used to social places and get rid of my social anxiety and my shyness. i think my social anxiety is almost gone.. and my shyness is minimal. i just need to keep tweaking this progress until it's right.

    one thing i learned from surveys is that you never know until you try. sometimes i think in my mind, this person will never do the survey, no way. and end up being the easiest ones. so... in life, you really don't know until you try, and even if you fail the first time, another 1-2 tries and it might succeed. i wonder how many things in life i haven't tried because i just never imagined it would work. they are worth a try, you never know.

    oh yea, at first i was looking around for a recognition gift that i could just sell at amazon and get an easy 20 bucks. but, i realized that this gift is sort of a symbol of my progress as a social person.. so, i picked this book so it will always remind me that i can make progress if i want to. and also will remind me of my manager, she is cute. half white/half mexican, she's only like 18 years old and a manager. :)
