Welcome to ShredderFood v2.0.

I’ve been thinking a while that my old format was a bit..well..dated..

So here I am.  Hope this captures my essense as well as any out-of-the-box-but-slightly-tinkered-with theme could.

I did learn how to comment out lines in PHP today, so I got that going for me.

I’m going to start doing “Wordless Wednesday” for two simple reasons.

1. I’m rapidly running out of words and need to conserve the important ones for my deathbed. You know, like “Inheritance?  What Inheritance?” or something along those lines.

2. I just bought a new camera, and have to show off.

So here it goes…Please keep in mind that I’ve not mastered (or tried for that matter) editing images, so these are, as a friend, @SpoiledMommy put it, SOOC (Straight Out Of Camera).

So here is the start of what might prove to be a long line of rants about Bank Of America, and the *REAL* evil empire.

On June 30 I closed my BofA account, terminating a 15 year relationship with the bank.  I did this because after years of a perfect payment record and then paying my credit cards off, they then closed both of my credit cards.  I feel like they really didn’t want my business.

After I closed my account i started getting email notifications that my account was overdrawn.  “This couldn’t be” I said to myself (Actually, it went more like “What the fuck….”)

Apparently, on July 1, they re-opened my account and charged me a $29.95 service charge.

Then they charged me a $35 dollar Insufficient Funds Fee, which they have been charging almost daily since then.

When I went in to say “Excuse me you’ve made a mistake..” the idiot behind the counter told me this, and I’m *QUOTING* here:

“We can charge you whatever we want to, and if you value your credit record you’ll just go ahead and pay it.”

Quote.  Direct quote.  If you don’t pay us we’ll cause you harm for something you had nothing to do with.

Sounds like the textbook definition of blackmail to me.

Yes, I’m publically accusing BofA of criminal acts.

And I’m so convinced I’m right I think tomorrow I’ll take a jaunt down to the local district courthouse and accuse them of it officially.

At the end of the “Blue Collar Comedy Tour”, Jeff, Larry, Ron, and Bill play a sort of game.  They each say something that they believe.

Given who they are it’s usually *REALLY* funny.   My favorite is one from Jeff Foxworthy (used, as usual, without permission)

“I believe that when someone jumps in front of you on the freeway and they don’t give you that little one-handed wave in the rearview-mirror, that it should be legal for you to get up under ‘em, break ‘em free, and put ‘em into the wall.”

I decided today that I would write down the things I believe.  Not that anyone cares.

I believe that we we spend too much money trying to make tobacco safer.  I believe that instead we should be making it MORE dangerous.  Hell I think one cigarette out of ever pack should be rendered absolutely lethal.  This introduces an element of fun into smoking, every pack comes with a free game of russian roulette.

I believe that anyone willing to die for god should be given the opportunity to do so.  Immediately, without hesitation.  I’m sure that the nutcases willing to kill in the name of god will be willing to volunteer for the job.

I believe that anyone who actually wants the job of President of the United States (or any country really) should be immediately and irrevocably barred from holding the position.  The job itself holds too much temptation for the power-hungry.

I believe that anyone not willing to pay the taxes required to support their community should be allowed to opt out.  I believe the next time the fire-department is summoned to their home that alternate payment should be made in advance.  No checks, cash only please.

I believe that the difference between a “protest” and a “revolution” is merely committment and a matter of scale.  If the riot police are enough to turn you away, then you really didn’t want it enough anyway.

I believe that anyone who thinks sex is “bad” or “immoral” or “indecent” should immediately be banned from having any.  Ever.

I’ll continue this later..  I believe my lunch is here. 

Oh, and I believe that Michael Jackson gave up any claim to “greatness” the first time he paid $20+ Million to keep the family of a child quiet.
