The take - home message is: Unless you
make enough
money to max
out all
of your tax - advantaged accounts (401 (k), IRA, 529, HSA, and the like), it
rarely makes sense to do any investing outside them.
Although I've found it very cathartic to speak, vent and end occasionally rant about all things Arsenal, we need to act carefully and intelligently right now or we're going to get played by this club even worse than at present... the pro-Wengerites and the suits, who represent a considerable proportion
of the season ticket holders, don't want to believe that there is no plan and that Wenger has mailed it in for several years now or that things are going to get much worse before they get better... why would they... many have spent a considerable sum buying some
of the highest priced tickets in the World... they want to have a front row seat to see something special and to be seen doing so, which simply provides ample justification for the expense and the time invested... to many
of them, Wenger is the sun in their soccer universe... his awkward disposition, misplaced arrogance and his utter lack
of balls
makes him a rather unusual cult figure, but the cerebral narrative seemed to embolden those who already felt pretty highly
of themselves... many might not even
of really liked football that much before his arrival and
rarely games they weren't attending... as such, they desperately believe that Wenger, and only Wenger, can supply them with their required fix... if he goes, they were wrong and that's a tough pill to swallow... they would have to admit that they were duped... they will definitely resent whoever
made them feel this way, but
of course it will be too late by then... so when we go overboard with ridiculous comments bordering
of anarchy, it scares the shit
out of them and they shift their blame towards us rather than at those who really perpetrated this act
of treason... we aren't the enemy... we simply woke much earlier and the reason our comments have gotten more vile in recent years is
out of utter frustration... in order for any real change to occur at this club we need to bring as many supporters as possible with us or the big
money interests will fade and our ultimate objective will be lost... so it's time to focus on the head instead
of the heart for now
In the midst
of clearing the backyard
of my new home (very overgrown) for my dog who was being checked on by my brother everyday at the house I was in the middle
of moving
out of my neighbors called animal control saying he was abandoned we were at the house checking on him when they arrived and they aggred everything was fine and we were going to move him within the next few days while my brother wasnt there it seems the neighbor let him loose and proceeded to call again (various signs) he was picked up and we were told it'd be $ 500 or get a police report through the local PD the police told us a report would have to be filed with animal control not them and back and forth we went then we get a call OK you can have your dog IF you pick him up immediately he contacted kennel cough was unable to
make the trip on such short notice and asked for more time as we had exhausted all our
money that week and hadn't the gas to get him less than 24 hours later he was euthanized I lost a food dog today b / c
of neighbors who kept their dogs strapped with bark collars and were
rarely let
out.
On the other side
of the table (resume reviewing), I've heard plenty
of ego filled rants (I'm funkin awesome because I got a 4.0 OR I'm funking awesome because I dropped
out altogether, too busy actually building stuff and
making money OR I'm funking awesome because blah blah blah) to describe why candidate X shouldn't be hired because his GPA is too high or too low, but
rarely have heard complaints about a missing GPA.
