Those damn short-sellers and Illuminati-wannabee-market-moving-scoundrels have drug my stock down to the damn ground...
It's a damn shame.
Why are some people so scandalous and greedy that they live to look for "loopholes" and schemes to cheat any type of system that they can find? Or, they live to cheat and manipulate honest hardworking people who are just trying to make a decent living and live The Good Life.
Why, Lord, Why?
Hell, I'm not looking for a "free ride". I try to contribute to society like everyone else. And, I'm investing my money in a company that contributes something to society.
Cloud Computing.
How can anyone hate on cloud computing when all the Major companies like Google, Amazon, Apple, Microsoft - hell everybody that IS somebody - is going to "the cloud" and offering cloud services?
Not only that, there are everyday individuals like you and me out there who have their OWN private cloud set-up too. They have everything they need (that's digital) linked in their cloud so that they can access that information on whatever type of device they're using at the time (a cell phone, a tablet, a computer, a media player, a TV, a car, etc.).
And, don't forget about Chromebooks. Chromebooks are primarily cloud-based computers - and, they're starting to sell like hotcakes because of how cheap, mobile, and secure, they are. So, cloud computing is really not a bad thing. You may even decide to have YOUR own private cloud one day.
But, this stock that I have scalped and bled my paychecks for is much more than Cloud Computing.
But, those slithering short-sellers and stock manipulators don't care about how good a company is. They have found a way to drive stocks up and down so that they are able to make money off of companies whether those companies are beneficial to society or whether those companies are worthless as crap. They don't care who loses money or how many people lose their job because those bums are greedy as hell. Ten times greedier than the average Joe out there. And, that's not a good thing. I hate to say it, but the stock market (or some parts of it) is nothing but a racket.
Don't forget "The Wolf Of Wall Street".... And, realize that he's not the only one with that type of mindset OR those types of ideas. There are a BUNCH of reptilian hyena scumbags lurking around out there.
I hate to wish evil on others, but...
Dear God,... Please let the Securities and Exchange Commission step in and hunt those scandalous rascals down and put all of their heads on a stick. Pleeeease.
.... driving the price of oil and gas up.... I'm sick of ov'em.
Maybe I'm just grumpy because of my job.
Lord, I know I should appreciate my blessings, but I never realized that hating my job so much would be this stressful.
I had to fight with myself to hate that hell-hole because I genuinely like the place. The atmosphere, my co-workers, helping customers; everything is cool. And, I'm always learning something new. It's a sweet deal, although the pay is despicable as hell.
But, I was certain that learning to hate my job would give me the Motivation I needed to quit working for "The Man" and to step-out on my own and BE "The Man", but I was wrong. And, I've paid the price for the error of my ways. Hell, I'm STILL paying the price.
My life has been suckin' for over a year now.
I've been injured on the job, and I've kept working because I really can't afford to be out for days or weeks at a time.
I'm broke, so I can't (or don't want to) dive into a serious relationship right now. Hell, look at me. I can't even afford to have a Sweetheart on Valentine's Day.
I've been a slave to a demanding pug for what seems like a decade. Pitiful.
I'm still dealing with one of the slowest computers in the whole wide world because I was ripped-off by Best Buy.
The Boss is always demanding as hell and never understanding... Plus, the scheduling sucks.
And, I don't even want to get started talking about Obama and why I think he should've left the HealthCare thing for later and focused on Energy and Jobs first....
....I don't know... I'm just whining and rambling I guess.
But, I DO have some Good News...
I'm not gonna spend too much more time on this Toshiba Satellite!
That's right.
I'm sending this bad-boy out to pasture.
I'm trading it in for an HP Envy which will be here soon.
I had a lot of videos I wanted to make since I've finally decided on what I wanted to do with my life. But, trying to make a movie on this Toshiba with the programs I have is like trying to win the Kentucky Derby on a 3-speed bicycle..... (...is that a good analogy? ....hell, who cares.)
There are days when I've turned on my Cyberlink PowerDirector program to make a movie and I'd have to restart the computer to get any work out of it. And, when it did work, the process was so slow that I felt like I just wanted rip my brains right out of my skull and slam'em through the screen.
I've also used Gimp and a simple program like Microsoft Movie Maker - which sometimes "froze" on me and wouldn't do anything until I restarted the computer.
It's like EVERY idea I have is either doomed or cursed.
I mean: It has been torture to use this thing (this Toshiba). And, that was after I upgraded the ram memory from 4 gigabytes to 8 gigabytes. It made a difference in some aspects, but overall, it can't run with the Big Dogs.
You know why? It's because it's all about the Processor.
Don't get me wrong. Other components make a difference in the processing speed of your computer, but the Processor is either the "brains" or the "muscle" in your system. It seems to make the real difference. It's like when you step on the gas pedal in your car. Hell, you don't want that bucket to stall, do you? Hell naw... When you hit the gas, you want your car to Move.
The Toshiba I have is packed with an A4 Dual-Core processor and is okay for light-work (like: making short and simple video clips on YouTube, downloading music and movies, saving videos from your phone or camera, photo editing, blogging, making music, etc.)
But, if you want to do these things FASTER, then you need more Horsepower.
Which is why I went to Amazon.com and got this new set of "wheels":
It's due in a few days, and I can hardly wait.
But, I'm STILL on the hunt for the Elusive SuperComputer!
Don't think I'm not happy about being able to own this rocket, but there were some other cyber-crafts out there that I was damn near ready to sell my soul for.
Those were the REAL Big Dogs. Rigs. Gaming Computers and such. Two Thousand and Three Thousand Bucks each!
That's way out of my league.
And, built with components I want but would really have no use for at this level in my "career".
Which makes me wonder about something...
Why in the hell would Hewlett Packard put a touchscreen on a laptop computer???
Why would ANYBODY put a touchscreen on a laptop. Who needs that crap on a laptop???
It just doesn't make much sense to me.
And, unfortunately, I couldn't find the one I wanted on Amazon without the touchscreen. This was it.
Hopefully, it won't suck.
But, even if it doesn't, I'm sure I'll find something to whine and complain about. Stay tuned.
