Hell’s Kitchen

Author: Anthony | Filed under: Entertainment, Random Thoughts Sunday Jun 8,2008

My wife just wrote a little blog about Hell’s Kitchen, which happens to be my new favorite show now that American Idol is over.
Hell’s Kitchen is a US Television phenomenon as renowned chef Gordon Ramsay puts aspiring chefs through a very rigorous culinary boot-camp.
World-renowned chef GORDON RAMSAY is back for a fourth course of the sizzling [...]

A Billion Dollars

Author: Anthony | Filed under: Finance, Humor, Politics, Random Thoughts Tuesday Jun 3,2008

The next time you hear a politician use the word ‘billion’ in a casual manner, think about whether you want the ‘politicians’ spending your tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend, but one advertising agency did a good job of putting that figure into some perspective in one of it’s releases. 

A billion seconds ago it was 1959. 
A billion [...]

Author: Anthony | Filed under: Random Thoughts Monday May 26,2008

Self-made billionaire J.R. Simplot died Sunday in his Boise, Idaho home from natural causes. His rise to wealth and fortune was unheard of. At the age of 14, he dropped out of the eigth grade, and left home after getting into a fight with his father.
Simplot’s entrepreneurial life began while he paid only $1 per day [...]

David Cook

Author: Anthony | Filed under: Entertainment, Random Thoughts Wednesday May 21,2008

I was pretty happy tonight.  David Cook is the new American Idol.  From the very beginning of the season, I knew that David Cook would be the winner.  I also predicted the finale would be both of the David’s.  I was right on both accounts.  I think Archuleta was good, and had a awesome sound, [...]

Favoritism Part 2

Author: Anthony | Filed under: Random Thoughts Tuesday May 20,2008

Last week, I wrote about how I disliked favoritism in the workplace.  Well, now I have to continue on with that.  I lost my job the next day, due to termination.  I think that favoritism had to do with this.  I had an experience over 6 months ago, where things went bad.  I was pulled [...]

Favoritism

Author: Anthony | Filed under: Random Thoughts Friday May 16,2008

There is one thing in the workplace that I really have a problem with, and that is favoritism. Seeing workplace favoritism is one of the most demotivating things that I deal with on a daily basis.
In the workplace, it can refer to when someone - or perhaps a group of people - appear to be [...]

American Loser

Author: Anthony | Filed under: Entertainment, Random Thoughts Wednesday May 7,2008

Once again, the person that left American Idol tonight, was just who I thought it would be.  Last night’s performances were pretty good.  Each of the four finalists chose 2 songs.  Three out of the four finalists had at least one decent song.  Jason Castro, however, did not.  Both of his songs were terrible choices.  [...]

America got it right

Author: Anthony | Filed under: Entertainment, Random Thoughts Wednesday Apr 30,2008

On today’s American Idol, the vote was actually accurate.  However, I feel like Brooke White should have gone home 2 or 3 weeks ago.  I think Michael Johns and Carly Smithson are better than Brooke.  I think that the two best finalists are both Davids, and they are David Cook and David Archuleta. My favorite [...]

One reason I do not like Obama

Author: Anthony | Filed under: Politics, Random Thoughts Monday Apr 28,2008

The Obama supporters are pretty retarded! But that’s no surprise. Yes, the Pastor is retired, and Obama wants us to believe he doesn’t agree with these hateful rants. The point that I am trying to make is, that this was Obama’s Pastor, a hateful racists who is anti-American. If Obama didn’t like this man’s views he wouldn’t have [...]

American Popularity Contest

Author: Anthony | Filed under: Entertainment, Random Thoughts Wednesday Apr 23,2008

One of my favorite shows is American Idon on Fox.  Which is currently in Season 7 and for the most part the bottom three have been pretty accurate every week.  The bottom three are usually pretty close to the three which I thought had the worst performances. However, this week was a little different.  I [...]
