I blame the recent Rifftrax release of Super Mario Bros.

Exactly if they really had given a shit about him being a racist asshole he would have been gone along time ago. It all comes down to money and the publicity nightmare this has caused the NBA :P.

Thing I found funny as hell is nobody seems to care that the unethical piece of crap has had a girlfriend for years even though he is married :P. Kind of hate that it has become socially acceptable to have a mistress or two on the side.

Then the majority of the players would be guilty as well. That type of stuff is rampant with athletes and I assume other celebs. I guess it takes some level willpower to resist attractive girls willing to sleep with you due to celeb status or money.

Huge double standard in sports, no doubt about it. Plus, rape is rampant in sports and isn't discussed enough. From the Sandusky type to the Kobe type. A blind eye is turned to the players, but when it comes to the owners people start talking. But know one seems to talk about the owner's owner (Disney). There is zero responsibility for the chain of command until news warrants it.

Come visit my seminar at your local Hilton this weekend about how to be successful, at everything, at anytime.

Here is the crux of the situation I mentioned before mentioning my seminars.

This isn't ATH Bomani, this is true Bomani pseaking from his heart. He and I are on the same plane of thought when it comes to this turbulent and disturbing story.

Happy to hear it Ziggs. Best of luck to you, and may you never have the dreams of "going to old work" which I have all the time.
Actually, for years I've had dreams of going to old work. The job I had before this one when I was in high school. Only I usually refer to them as nightmares. I'm sure I'll be having dreams of my recent job for a while, since I've been there almost 10 years.

Anyways, I put my two weeks notice in today. I walked around most of the day with a smile on my face.

I sold an N64 to someone and a week and a half later they are saying it doesn't work. I told them that you have to continually clean/blow into the cartridge slot of the console and games but he says that's nonsense and he won't do it because he doesn't believe me. It's so obviously a buyer's remorse case and I'll end up getting screwed out of the shipping. :?

@nullxor that sucks...even though everybody knows that you have to clean the carts it's a really sad but nesscary task if you want to play these carts :| definitely agree on buyers remorse though


:D - have a interview sunday for a full time stock clerk position with harris teeter(oddly i never get a chance to check in on my applications before I get a call that they want to interview me whenever I do actually get a interview it seems :lol: ). Fingers crossed because if this does go through i'll do whatever it takes to limit my spending if I get it to kick start my emergency savings and hopefully get it to a full years worth of savings and start saving to move out after that and a few other things like investing as well with mutual funds through my bank...but one step at a time and hope I get this after I go in for my interview(stocking is not that hard of a job from what I've seen but I'd rather have more interaction with customers but I'll take what i can get) ;)

Trust me, you've taken the right course. I have to work with the general public almost everyday and absolutely wish I just had a stock job. Nothing seems more appealing than just turning up and doing work, rather than having to stress over unrealistic sales targets and putting up with shitty people.
