Temporary Changes ~:-)

Posted by jokker2385 on August 15, 2008

Many of you are going to notice that my blog is going to take on a slightly different appearence. I don’t have access to my personal computer for a couple of months. so my recent posts will not include as  many pictures, or links as usual. and the graphic styling of the font and so on will be kind of dull and bland for now. In the meantime I will continue to update the blog and add content to it.

PS- waiting for the next inspiration.

I am much better now

Posted by jokker2385 on August 2, 2008

Jokker's Pizza coming soon to Metro Detroit

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.

Down for a moment,But not out

Posted by jokker2385 on July 26, 2008

I just had the experience of my lifetime. over the past week I had an opperation to remove an abcess from my body it was so painfull and sucked ass.  but it gave me time to think about my life and completely reevaluate my purpose. I have come to realize that people although they are relatively nice. when you are in the hospital and noboby comes to visit you then its time to reconsider who your friends really are. so I am out to meet new friends. ones who will call me and come visit when I am ever in the hospital or whatever. anyways. I am on heavy painkillrs so i am done posting for today. but i will be back soon and with a vengence. later yall.

Corporate Mind Games

Posted by jokker2385 on May 24, 2008

         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.Craigslist
          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.

Share with me some of you’re experiences with corporate mind control, more commonly known as advertising

A Rant Nobody Is likely to see

Posted by jokker2385 on May 16, 2008

I received a call this morning regarding Attitude. Which prompted this Rant the person on the other end of the line was talking about the attitude of someone they work with which got me thinking. Isn’t it kind of superficial to put forth a positive attitude when you are having a bad day, or is it better to be honest with one another? Well, I for one have comedy & tragedylearned through trial and error that most people don’t want to know your true feelings, the long for that superficial positive attitude. Because many people today (in my opinion) cannot deal with the reality that surrounds them. Hey, guess what sometimes people naturally have a negative attitude because they are unhappy with something. At which point we should reassure them that everything WILL be alright. and cheer them up nobody cheers anybody up anymore, anyway I fully understand how other people can be affected by constant negative attitude and since I don’t know too many people I will have to cheer my self up.

In conclusion attitude is affected by outside forces and when those forces are mostly inline instead of out then it will be positive, however if those forces are more out of  line than in then it will be negative.

So lets help people get these forces in line so that the attitude of the planet changes to positive

Annoying People

Posted by jokker2385 on April 29, 2008

Today’s post is about people who annoy me.

 

Have you ever been in the Supermarket or Department store? And you only have one item to purchase so you get in that lane labeled “12 Items or Less” only to discover that the person in front of you has more than 12 items in fact not just one or two more but they have like 20 items. This person is highly annoying.

        How about that guy at your job who spends all his time on the good old cell phone, who’s he possibly talking to all that time. One of the most annoying things in the world is, having to listen to seven different separate noises all day because he has to be able to know whether it is a text, picture message, or which number his mom is calling from through out the day. And what’s with those people who won’t put the phone down, Even when they are driving. Why don’t they spring Bluetooth, or another hands free device?

These are just a couple of examples of people who annoy me.

Who annoys you? Let me know?
