Free shares of bankruptcy!

NOTE: Sorry for the length, it’s a Sunday evening rant.

Initially my thought this year was to purchase everyone on my Christmas list the same thing this year. Not because it would make my life super-easy but mainly because I feel that no matter what position you are in financially, it’s a good read and something I know we have benefited from going through. Ultimately though, I decided against it. It is a sensitive subject to approach and it would be far too easy to have somebody think I was calling them out.

One of the things that we have been striving for since taking the class is to live differently than how we use to live (much less how 70% or more of America lives). Accruing debt. Sadly, I could have used the lessons long before I entered college and we surely would be much farther ahead at this point in time.

Either way, one of the things both the book and the class talk about is being a slave to the mindset of “we’ll always have a car payment.” While not easy, we are working towards training ourselves to think differently than this approach.

Possibly ’shopped.

Do the test

Fantastic. No doubt that this will spread across the Interwebs pretty fast, it’s likely you will see/get it more than once.

It’s sad how giddy I am…

…about mistakes like this:

An actual printed box for a Nintendo DS game called Imagine Babies. I could care less about the game, but I sure do love that they were too cheap to even purchase the rights to the image of the two babies on the bottom-right! Last time I checked, an image on iStockphoto would run you about $12 for a print quality version.

Funny and true

Environmentalism at it’s finest

Coincidence?

Is this a joke?

If so, I don’t get it. At first I thought it was real but then I watched the video on the Where page. (via)

It’s what I do

As I have said before, I am in the business of making your business look better. It’s what I do. If you were to hire me, part of my job would entail helping you find the right ways to market your business.

For my business, I have a sticker that I could put on my truck if I wanted to. It is my (former) logo, custom made by a company who does such work. I say could, because I have never done it. I’m not really in the business of getting business on the highway. Plus, my driving record could probably prove that I wouldn’t obtain much business even if I was. While I am not a fan of window stickers/car decals/magnets for my business, I might recommend them for you and your business if I knew it would attract the right clients. Who knows.

What I wouldn’t do though is any form of the following:

• I wouldn’t put any sort of advertising on your car if it isn’t a professional looking vehicle. Meaning, if we are fighting for window space with your ‘Calvin, doing anything inappropriate to any other brand,’ it ain’t happening.
