Is Rosie really a racist?

Fri, 15 Dec 2006 15:19:08 GMT

Rosie has been all over the news apologizing like she was caught dropping N-bombs like Cosmo Kramer. Can anybody seriously be offended by her remarks? This racial tension in this country is approaching absurdity.

In a Dec. 5 segment, O'Donnell joked about how
Danny DeVito's recent — and seemingly drunken — appearance on the ABC daytime talk show had become international news.

"You know, you can imagine in China it's like 'ching chong, ching chong chong, Danny DeVito, ching chong chong chong, drunk, "The View," ching chong,'" the 44-year-old comedian said.

You don't deserve anything

WARNING: Rant material ahead...

I have always been amazed at what people will spend on themselves when they 1) don't have enough money and 2) only do it because they think they "deserve" it.

I think the average credit card debt per household in this country is floating around the $8k mark, with no signs of slowing down. That is just credit cards, nothing at all to do with auto loans (which is in the neighborhood of $25k per household I think), student loans, mortgage, etc.

One of the Jeep forums I occasionally visit has, for a long while, poked fun at this. They have assigned them all the title of "How-much-a-month"ers. And I think that pretty much sums it up.

If you ever go into a purchase and start asking "How much will this be per month?", maybe you should rethink your decision.

If you are reading this, and feel an urge to say something like "But, I work really hard and I deserve to have this _____!!!".

The truth is no, you don't. You have to earn it.

Intro to Aaron's House

Sun, 10 Dec 2006 06:03:39 GMT

Welcome to Aaron's "house". I am one of the creators of InstantSpot and I created this Spot to have a place to post more personal stuff and less tech/work-like stuff. (see my other Spot here)

I also intend to use this Spot as a test bed for designs using the Style Manager in the InstantSpot control panel. So, things might just look a little crazy from time to time.

I am going to try and keep this Spot simple...just a blog and some photo galleries. (I hope to get some pics of my family, Jeeps, etc posted to my photo galleries soon.)
