Mick Knutson's BLiNC BLoG

For way too long, I keep asking myself: "Why do ignorant people think they are cars?"

Every time I go to the store, a shop, or even to the Arena to see a show, inevitably there are several people walking in the middle of the road.

I got to the ALoft Sheridan Hotel at the PHL Airport, and 1st off, BOOK your Philly trip there! It was awesome!

I spent a good deal of Saturday working on a Java class I teach, and the rest of my time trying to secure tickets to the show. I did not find any.

He ran to get the single ticket, ...

OK, so I woke this morning, and it was -22 degrees with windchill. ARE YOU KIDDING????

I step out the house this morning to warm up the car. At first, seems like no big deal. Then as I am running around the car scraping ice off, the burning sting sets in.

I run back inside for shelter. saved.....

right.

Next time, I get all my warm gear back on, then my headphones to give me a break for the freezing silence of 6:00 am. When I finally get into the car and close the door, after about 15-20 seconds, I see my headphone cables are stiff as ...

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

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 ...
