Hatian Problems and a solution

January 14, 2010 By: Phil Category: Phil's Ramblings

We already send lots of aids to this country which has a corrupt government, we should just offer them status as a United States territory with all the protections and benefits that come with that status. If they as a free people decided to accept it would fix their inept government situation and I believe better their opportunities in the long run.

Changes in store for the website.

December 13, 2009 By: Phil Category: Phil's Ramblings

This site has lain dormant for far too long. I am planning to make some changes to the website. The current cigar reviews shall remain as they are, but in the future I am going to be trying new formats… probably including pictures if not video. No longer will I place a sponsors link within review posts(not that I make enough money anyhow to cover the bandwidth costs… heh). I will still talk about any random thing that strikes my fancy, as this is not just a review site… I just happen to like to take notes when I have a good cigar.

I am pretty sure the layout will remain as it is, maybe with a graphic change at the top. If you would like to see something not here let me know.

Not easy to avoid

October 22, 2009 By: Phil Category: Phil's Ramblings

It is fricking hard to avoid eating bad while working… if partnered up with another worker. Managed to do it tonight, hopefully can keep the will power. I am sure once I get in to the habit it won’t be so tempting, but right now its difficult as hell. Least work was busy enough to take my mind off it.

Thoughts that lead to nowhere?

October 20, 2009 By: Phil Category: Phil's Ramblings

WTF? That’s what best describes it. I am lost without solution and need to figure this crap out because it is ruining my ability to function. Avoid dialing my number if you in fact do not actually want to talk to me.

Be Patriotic. PAY MORE TAXES!!! wait what?

September 19, 2008 By: Phil Category: Phil's Ramblings

Mr. Joe Biden seems to be under the impression it is fair to tax one group and redistribute its wealth to another…. on top of it it is PATRIOTIC he tells us. Thats a load of crap. There is already a flawed and unfair tiered tax program in this country that steals more with the larger wealth you acquire, a more unfair system is not needed. News Story, Yahoo. (PSSST its okay we are only taking from the rich… not you. They are some magical class of people who have never worked for anything what so ever and are the reason you can’t seem to be motivated to you know, maybe actually strive to make it financially yourself. Or quite possibly they will get punished for being successful.) Wtf is this? Communism? It is not my responsibility to pay for your lack of effort or success, I am not rich as of this writing, but if I was….. Go fly a kite is what it boils down to Mr Biden. How about you live up to your PATRIOTIC ideals and just get rid of any wealth you have. Attempt to get a bill passed that taxes you (and only you) one time for 80% of your assets… hey its for the CHILDREN!

Wealth redistribution is not American what so ever less it be via charity. What happened to communist ideas being a bad thing for the economy?

Overall Impression: This is a great cigar… Hands down. You simply cannot go wrogn buying this stick be it a beginner or a seasoned veteran. It delivers loads of great tastes for very little in the way of an asking price, and if you pay attention to various online offers sometimes they can be had for next to nothing. I highly suggest to one and all to try the Vegas 5 Gold line of cigars.

Favorite Game from the Final Fantasy Series

February 28, 2008 By: Kevin Category: Kevin's Ramblings

Final Fantasy VIII has got to be one of my favorite RPG (role-playing game) when I was a kid. I have always enjoyed these games because they tell a good story. The stories are always set in ancient or future times. You start off with a character in the story and as the story progresses you gain new characters to play with. Not only is the story good, the many different songs composed for each series are fantastic. One of my favorite songs from this particular Final Fantasy series is composed by Nobuo Uematsu called “Eyes On Me”. I liked it so much, I took a piano 101 class in college to learn how to play the piano and eventually learned this song on the piano. Below is the video I uploaded to youtube almost 2 years ago! Can’t believe its been that long, but I hope you all enjoy it!
