It hit me today for the first time

I got a 1099 form in the mail for about $32 bucks. This is for the measly piddly ass interest I earned by keeping my money in a bank that uses my savings to invest in their own stuff. A 1099 form so that I can pay the government a third. Why? My statement isn't "why is this fair?", my question is "Why is this legal?". When someone takes something away from you without asking or reason, it's stealing. I already earned the money and paid a fee for doing so, why am I being punished for saving? You.. You with the face. You over there. You got your money and you spent it. On a new car, a smokin' hot TV, a house you couldn't afford, or whatever. Enjoy it? I bet you did. Pay the government anything? NOPE! You spent it.

Here's another. I got a 1099 from the state of Kansas for my TAX REFUND! They treat that as income? I overpay, they keep it interest free, then give it back to me. Anyone see the problem here?? Not to mention that if you file more than 2 years late, it's "THE LAW" that they get to keep it. Crooks.

Local Chickens, good eatin

 

Truth in advertising, if Todd was in charge:

I'm trying to hone my advertising skills, but I'm not sure this industry is for me. The below is one I thought "I could do better than that!", But I'm not sure I succeeded. She kinda looks like she's in bliss, but seriously, these face masks are kinda a slap in the face, cool and shocking! Smells good though. Minty!

Here's my attempt, like I said.. Not sure this is for me:

Some people look at the cloulds and see Mickey Mouse

I look at what my dog made and see PENIS!

And then, it chews THIS. What's up with my dog?

NY Resolution followup, Part 1

1. The weigh in officially topped in at 210, clothes on, full belly, hadn't pooped, but I'm making it easy on myself.
2. The Perfect Storm is halfway through
5. Sold a game already, and have 54 items on eBay
8. This counts as a blog entry

New Year's Resolution

Yup, I'm going to do it. And I'm going to be OH SO BORING about it:

1. Lose 10-15 pounds by mid year and keep it off. This doesn't mean exercise or drink less beer.
   
2. Read more books. For me, 20 is a good number. I'll keep track. Book in progress counts.
   
3. Bitch less. HA HA, just kidding.
4. Start riding my bike again.
   
5. Cut down on the clutter. Easy to say, so let's say I'll sell 40 games this year, and list 500 items on eBay.
   
6. Get my taxes done on time.... OH GOD! I'm kidding again! I'm so funny
7. Put in backyard grass. Sounds easy, but it's got 10 projects that have to happen first.
   
8. Blog more.
9. Add 50 new items (that I already have) to my web site.
10. Drop my lousy 401K investment company and do it myself.
11. Organize my CD and DVD library.
12. And finally? Patent something. That's right. PATENT something....
