I have been an Metallica fan since 1985 when a band mate, taught me 'Seek and Destroy' that I never heard before then. The same year I saw Metallica for the 'Ride the lightening' tour in Houston Texas. This was my 3rd or fourth concert ever. Iron Maiden was my first concert btw... :-O My wife is a commercial pilot, so I get to fly for next to free anywhere, anytime. This come in handy when I am traveling for work, but until now, have never used it for any strange adventures.... (i know, I know....) OK, so I woke up this morning in Pittsburgh PA and it was -22 with windchill. WTF! Not only am I away from home, I am freaking out about the cold. Michelle is also ...
So I am watching CNBC about an interview with the CEO of GM. They talk about "It is not easy to restructure a company that has been around for 100 years, in just 10 years".... Are you F***ing kidding me? Seriously! I have been in the IT industry for 19 years and have restructured at least 5 times in that term. Look at Trump, Virgin Airlines, Bank of America. I am so fed-up with million dollar CEO's talking shit about how "I can change, I can change!"... Wait a minute, That is the Saddam Hussein 'i can change' theme proposing to FUCK Satan..... Now I am hearing in the series, that the "Camero" is white night for GM that will single handedly ...
I saw a quote many years back comparing the homosexual community in San Francisco to the Obsessive Steelers fans of Pittsburgh. The quote was "Steelers fans can be compared to a heterosexual San Francisco.". Today, on the 'United Way' Friday, I had a glimpse. I noticed that one in ten persons wore a Steelers shirt for their casual Friday dress. Now out of about 3,500 employees, that was quite proponent. I just thought it was un-mistakable, the overwhelming dedication to the home town sport team that I have never encountered in my life.

I have been living in SF since 1990. I just recently moved to Pittsburgh PA for a 6-month contract. The first thing I noticed was, in general, a tendency to be lazy by most people. The most prominent example was the reason for this post in the first place. I work at a 3 story building. There is a large lobby and there are stairs in the center of the lobby. Quick obtrusive actually. I have to walk another 10 steps to get to the elevator to get up to another level. I work on the 2nd level. Now I am just dumbfounded by all the obese persons that will not walk 1 flight of stairs. Then I hear them in the hallway complaining about how their medical coverage did not help their ...
So I have been contemplating the start of a personal BLOG for some time now. I have finally decided that I have to much pent-up anger, emotion and controversy to keep this to myself. So what better forum to post my thoughts than BLiNC Magazine...? I mean really. All we stand for is indifference! Right? The real reason I want to blog here is just to be able to vent my viewpoints about life that happens.
