We are the 1%

I don’t know who to credit this to, but this graphic puts things in perspective. Sure things aren’t great, and yes things need to change but claiming to be the 99% when we are WELL off compared to many others in the world is petty.

We are not the 99%

We are not the 99%

If people would focus more on themselves rather than things we’d be in a lot better place. People want and desire too many material items which places them in debt to those that they are organizing against. Just because you spent over $100,000 on your education doesn’t mean you are entitled to a well paying job. Learn a trade and actually do something that will be a life long skill, school is great but when times are tough hands on skills are what will get you by.

The Dan Report and Weekly Cool Links for April 20th through April 22nd

 

Matt Kemp Kills Baseballs!

Matt Kemp Kills Baseballs!

 

Hey!  It’s Dan of the Garion clan.  How about that Matt Kemp?  He’s been killing the ball.  So my wife Kelly said my blog has been boring since all I post nowadays are links…  Is that true?  Are my links boring, would you rather hear me talk about the Next Great Dancing Crew?  I mean I know I can be funny when I don’t try at all, but can I be entertaining, especially in a world where people watch crap like Pregnant in Heels, Glamour Bells, and Playdates (yes these are all really TV shows, on REAL TV).  WHO THE HELL WATCHES THIS STUFF.  I mean it’s one thing to make fun of it, which is why I religiously watch The Soup (well and that Joel McHale is awesome), but really who watches this type of shit? This will be the only blog that someone says the word shit and then starts talking about Easter.

It’s Easter this Sunday, and I for one welcome our Zombie Jesus overlords.  I’m happy I can get back to swigging soda and chowing down on chocolate now that Kelly no longer has the obligation to give up something she likes for Lent.  Other than that there really isn’t much going on.  The onions in the back yard are just about ready to get cured, we got a citrus tree that seems to be doing well, I fixed the grout in the master bathroom and Kelly is just about done with painting the shelf that our awesome neighbor made for us in the spare bedroom.  Next up we are getting the HUGE birds of paradise plants in the front yard removed and we might be getting sprinklers installed in the front yard as well.

Lastly for those that really know us, be on the lookout for information about our 3rd Annual Fourth of July Party!  Now it’s time for! DUN DUN DUN!

These are the cool things I found around the web for April 20th through April 22nd:

Happy 4th of July!

Fireworks_in_Ladera Kelly and I will be celebrating Independence Day with a house warming 4th of July Party at our home with our family and friends.  I will be cooking a bunch of hamburgers and hot dogs on the grill (memories of my days at Mc. Donalds!)  Remember the freedoms we have are because of those that have fought so bravely for us to be able to celebrate them.

We wish you, your family, and friends a happy and safe 4th of July.

Busy Chores Day!

I’ve been running around since I woke up this morning at 6:30!  It all started with driving Kelly to work at 7:15.  On my way home I picked up some breakfast from Del Taco and then came home to spend a little time with Buster.  At around 9:30 I put my bike in Kelly’s truck and took it over to Orange Cycle to have it get some new more road friendly tires (since we never mountain bike) and also a seat that would be comfortable for my big fat ass.  After I dropped the bike off I went to the auto store to get some towels and a clay bar to see if I could fix an issue with the truck’s hood.  A while back a bunch of white paint got sprayed onto the truck and it has been bugging me since but I wasn’t sure exactly what to use to fix it, so I decided to try the clay bar.  Before I went back home I went to the car wash and have them do just a basic clean, since it’s hard to wash your own vehicle at an apartment.  I talked to one of the guys there and he suggested that I first use lacquer thinner and then afterwards the clay bar.  So after the car was washed I went to the hardware store and picked up lacquer thinner, gloves, and razor blades.  Next I had to drop off Kelly’s paycheck and by then it was time to pick up the bike.  After getting the bike and going home I started working on the truck.  It is such an improvement, the hood looks brand new!  I also cleaned up the windshield since it had some paint spray on it as well.  Now I just need to figure out what to use on the plastic bumper to get the paint off of it.  After finishing all those chores I took a break and went to this hole in the wall middle of a neighborhood BBQ place in Santa Ana called Burrell’s BBQ, food was really good and it was nice eating outside in the sun for a change.  Next I went back home and took my newly improved bike out for a ride.  I only get a 2 mile ride but I haven’t rode my bike for awhile and it was already getting late so I just pushed my self slightly.  Now I’m sitting at the computer relaxing for a couple minutes till I drive over to to dog grooming shop and help Kelly clean and close the shop for the day.
