Wow…How’d anyone let this guy get away.

I know this is all over the internet but it’s so good I’ve got to post it as well.  This YouTube clip enhances the experience (if that’s possible) with some graphic aids.

So, here’s my question.  Is this guy completely deluded or is it possible that he actually is the stud he claims to be?  My reaction is to put him in the former category but I’ve met just enough guys who do similar stuff and inexplicably are successful that I can’t reject the possibility out of hand.

Either way, what a train wreck this guy is.  You can almost hear the dozen or so heavy gold chains clanking together around his neck while he makes sure his silk shirt is open enough to let the ladies check out his pecs.  I’ll second the ‘douche’ verdict.

And by the way…Dimitri?  Olga?  Where the hell are we?





There will be bud!

This is only funny if you’ve seen the real movie but if you have, it’s brilliant.

…those I’m not qualified for and those I don’t want.”

I just just finished reading (for the second time) this book:

It’s a painfully hilarious book and I decided to pick it up again after having a stressful day at work a couple of weeks ago. The author has his own website (of course) if you want to get additional fixes of his point of view.

Someone accused me of being an anarchist at work a few weeks ago because I wouldn’t ‘get on board’ with their stupid plan doomed to failure. The plan was one of those office politics maneuvers that is ostensibly designed to make things work better (that’s how it gets sold to the people above and below) but is really an scheme to accumulate power. People can pull this hocus-pocus off by pretending that a flurry of activity is the same as progress. Generate some new, fancy looking letterhead and start playing great musical fanfares every time you do something and perhaps no one will notice it’s the same old crap that was being produced before.

I’m down with that and totally understand it but I just have two small objections:

  1. Don’t expect me to get excited about what is essentially a waste of time
  2. If someone asks my honest opinion about what I think, don’t be surprised if I give it

Well, someone did ask my opinion (unfortunately, it was the person who was perpetrating the scheme) and I did give it and ohhhhhh boy. The fur was flying.

I gotta learn to keep my mouth shut.
