We had just finished hiking in the beautiful Arches NP and we were driving back to the camp area in which we spent the night while visiting the Moab area. We were just flipping the radio back and forth trying to find something interesting to listen and we somehow ended up listening to KZMU, a [...]

Capitalism: A Love Story?
Sep 1st
So, I recently watched “Capitalism: A Love Story” by the self proclaimed great director Michael Moore. The movie is shot in the same style Moore did his other movies. Everything that you see should be shocking and the director/the main actor/the narrator/you name it sees himself as the guy who will open everyone’s eyes. Will [...]

The “Not My Fault” Culture
Aug 28th
The scene unfolds very quickly as one reckless driver doesn’t stop at… a stop sign and hits a car who was passing through the intersection. In his defense he did brake after seeing the other car. Damages are somewhat minimal: the right fender for the victim, the front bumper for the aggressor. Not really a [...]

Things Done on Time
Aug 13th
I have this little pet theory that I revisit from time to time and find that it applies to almost every aspect of life on a metaphysical level. Sometimes you need to refine the facts you’re working with to be able to see the clear picture, but it works nonetheless. The theory says that “given [...]

King of the Hill
Aug 7th
A couple of months ago I’ve discovered King of the Hill. I know the show is really old, and in my defense I’ve tried watching it when I was younger but it seemed a little “dry” at that time. Not anymore. In fact I found it to be one of the best, if not the [...]

Equilibrium
Jul 12th
I was listening to the radio (92.5FM) while driving the other day. As everybody has to make a living at some point the commercials started. Normally I wouldn’t pay attention to them, but since I was waiting at a rather long red light (http://www.bellevuewa.gov/trafficcam/cctv004.asp) I found myself listening. Wait, it gets better The first commercial [...]

GPS Path Recording – The Cheap Solution
Jun 25th
One of the first thing that I did when I arrived in the US was to buy a GPS unit. I did it because I found it kind of intimidating to drive on the highways in the US without having some sort of guidance. It may sound stupid, but if you miss an exit you [...]

The Results (Losing weight saga – Epilogue)
Jun 9th
For the last past months I’ve randomly written blog posts in the “Losing weight saga” category. In these posts I’ve either bitched about some weight loss aspect (I love complaining when something is bothering me, but I’ve tried keeping this part to a minimum) or tried to share a certain aspect that I’ve learned during [...]

All steps to a better me can be found here: http://theromaniandream.com/blog/tag/steps-to-a-better-me/
Step 6 is planning. It may just be that I am a control freak, but whenever I do something I must have a plan. But everyone has to have a plan when they do something, right? Well, sure everybody has a plan, but I guess [...]

All steps to a better me can be found here: http://theromaniandream.com/blog/tag/steps-to-a-better-me/
Step 5 is realizing that what we call normality, in almost every aspect of it, is unhealthy. By normality I mean what most people do by default or think that should be the default choice. Lately this have been a favorite pet subject of mine [...]

Cereal Label Fail
May 15th
Here is the label:
And the fail is the way the difference between cereal with milk and cereal without milk is listed.
Hey Kellogg’s, you have 2 columns in there. Use them to list the nutritional content in both cases (you do that for vitamins and it works, right?). Don’t be dumb and put this info in [...]
