asthma and other shizzle
Some days, the pain and frustration of having this going on pushes me close to tears. Other days, it doesn't bother me a bit. But how do you explain to someone who has barely known chest congestion the feeling of a baby elephant on your chest? How can you tell them to breathe through 5 layers of fabric and they'll only begin to get the clue?
They shouldn't have tom be burdened with our (asthmatics) bullshirt. Nor should we have to struggle to breathe because they are too fucking lazy to walk 25 feet from the front door of wal-mart. How do we reach a compromise, let alone an understanding? I mean, as much as the smoke hurts, literally, i don't want to crap all over someone else's freedoms. I just don't accept that as the only solution.

Android or Iphone?
Which is the lesser of two evils? Which one to buy? Which will be easier to learn? Which will burn less of a whole in my ass?
I hate Apple to bits, and think Google is the evil empire, and yet, it would benefit my work (mortgage broking) my gaming (empire avenue and investopedia paper trades0 and my social life. So, which one?
Everything is big in Texas, including hacks!
Apparently, members of the hacktivist group Anonymous, aren't big fans of Texas Law Enforcement. The group not only nabbed 3 gigs of sensitive policve materials, but proceeded to mess with the website and make a mockery of the Agency. Perhaps someone ought to remember the Lunch Counter protests? Domain denial of service "hacks" are nothing more than internet versions of those or sit ins. No harm is done but blocking the way. Maybe, sad thought, someone with a brain (what?! In Washington? NO WAY!) ought to listen! Then we might avoid the unpleasantness of having virtual ass kicking happen..
