I am much better now

Jokker's Pizza coming soon to Metro Detroit

Anyone who read my last post knows I had surgery around the middle of the month. Well, I am back to optimal health now. In fact I am now healthier than i was before my surgery. I have had a life altering experience that has opened my eyes to all of the endless possibilities Life has to offer. Since being released from the hospital I have determined that I am no longer just going through the motions of life. to use an old cliche I am going to take life by the horns. I am enrolling in a culinary program in a couple of days I hope, I am seeking better employment and fully understand what my value is to a potential employer. I will get my education while earning enough money and rebuilding my credit to the point in which I can successfully launch my own pizzeria. It’s very intriguing and exciting. well anyways I will have much more to share in the coming months in the meantime. Check out Jokker’s Pizza blog you should see the link to it on the left side of the screen.

Corporate Mind Games

         I’m sure it was along time ago, but I don’t remember when a lot of Corporations began playing these mind games with the people of our country let alone the world. I use Craigslist quite frequently and overall I support this method of conducting business over purchasing through traditional stores and suppliers.
          I use this site to promote various projects I under take, shopping for affordable housing/apartments, and used cars and trucks. However, recently I was going thru the listings and although I had been seeing this trend for a while.

Today,  I finally got fed up. let me tell you I find there’s not much which is more annoying than reading ” used ford probe-$200 then when you click on the link only to discover the vehicle is actually selling for $2000. first of all nobody likes to be tricked into clicking on this type of listing, when we fall for these tricks once we then do not visit links like it again. This goes for those people who list items for $1, or $2 or the ever so clever $24 when the real price is $2400 If you really want to sell that vehicle. How about listing it honestly, instead of deceptively? while we are on the subject, To all those people who list a car as ” drives good, low miles, along with about 7 or 8 good things then drop a bombshell like “no engine, or trans issues. no one wants to buy your car for $600 only to have to spend $1000 to $3000 to put a new engine or trans in it. If they were going to do that they would likely buy a better car for say 1600 to 3600.

                  This subject is something that absolutely ticks me off to no end. Why do corporations feel they have to “trick” people into buying their “crap” for example why do stores put sales like buy one get one free why don’t they say (I’m gauging you so bad that I can afford to sell you two of these for the price of one and still make money) they should then cut the price all the time.
           To all those stores who are offering to pay your sales tax and interest for 12 months, and the ones who offer no payments for 4 years. Stop it. these are merely tactics to trick you into buying shit you don’t have enough money for and shit 90% of you don’t need or even want. I can go on like this all day, but think about this unless your one of those “me, me, me people(no offense) “if you need to finance something like furniture, appliances, or used cars, then you’ll end up paying more for the item than it actually is worth and in the case of furniture chances are by the time you get around to paying off one couch (in 5 years) you probably won’t like it and then start the process all over again.
