Opportunity Redistribution, not Wealth Redistribution Should Be the Answer

Unfortunately, neither really work.

Wealth redistribution isn’t fair because it takes away the incentive to work hard. If somebody else is working 80 hours a week and you work 20, you get credit for 50 hours. Eventually the 80 hour a week guy would find an 85 hour a week guy and drop down to 20 himself.

What, then, should be the benefit of “working smart” instead of “working hard”? As Ron White says, “You can’t fix stupid.” Since many don’t have the capacity to EVER …



Only Idiots Say “I’m Bored.”

Boredom is a symptom of the unimaginative and the needy. These are the kind of people who never played hide-and-seek because it didn’t come in a box. They watch somebody else paint by numbers, record but never watch the same television shows every day, and spend the better part of most afternoons filling out inane surveys while their parents or grandparents rewash their mildewed clothes for the third time.

I know what you are thinking. “What about people in jail? You know …



Waste Your Time Better

With practice, you can make wasting time a productive art form. Others may scoff or not exactly see the value in what you are doing, but if you are going to do things for leisure you may as well get the most out of your time.

(It’s also important to learn to remove as many minor inconveniences from your life as possible.)

I am a recovering video game addict. I used to play Everquest, Dark Age of Camelot, Dungeons and Dragons Online, …



Soulja Boi a la Vista

http://www.macspeech.comFor a bit of fun, and to correlate with my previous post about nightclubs, I decided to see how much difficulty Vista would have interpreting me as I rapped (via a lyric sheet) “Crank Dat Soulja Boi”, a mainstay in the ring-tone market.

The lyrics are completely nonsensical, so Vista had quite a time with it. I only did the first part for both your sake and mine.

Sosa bluff in this whole
Once the cranky
As new role
Watch me kind a soldier board
The superman the whole
And watch me



7 Stupid Things I’ve Done in College

This is short and sweet. Learn from my mistakes.

Loaned Money to Friends

There is little more dangerous to a friendship than introducing obligation of any kind. Of all the people to whom I have loaned money in college, only one has willingly given it back. I was able to recuperate the cash from another guy because he was drunk and left his wallet laying around.

Gave Too Many Second Chances

If somebody does you wrong, by all means give them a second chance, but …

Lectures are Obsolete and a Waste of Time

Hundreds of years ago, this title would have been completely incorrect. Back then, lectures were pretty much the way to go. Having an expert sit and talk to you and a group of other people (whether you wanted to or not) was the most efficient way to distribute information.

Times have changed. The fact that millions of people will get up today and go to some lectures lasting as long as 3 hours just to listen to somebody talk astonishes me. Hell, …

I was only in my college’s dorms for one year, but during that time I was both the target and mastermind of a multitude of sneaky pranks. A prank here and there is a good break from the rigors of an academic atmosphere. If anybody ever messes with you, here’s how to get them back.

Why You Need Fake College Degrees

I just finished reading the French version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Gilderoy Lockhart inspired me to write this.

1. You can be qualified to commit medical malpractice and sue yourself.
2. By getting all of your degrees at the same time, you won’t have to worry about buying a frame that doesn’t match down the road.
2.5. All the money you …
