Re: Off Topic 2012

Yes. Basically anything you post to facebook essentially becomes part of facebook's "property". Even pictures that you have deleted apparently remain.

Honestly, though, I wouldn't worry about it too much.

Not sure I'd want to work for any psycho company that delves that much AND decides based on anything on fb anyway lol

Re: Off Topic 2012

I get to do my taxes today, I'm lucky mine are simple cause if they weren't I'd be screwed. Hoping for a nice return in my bank account by Friday.

Matrix, I think companies use that route higher up the ladder for executives and things like that. I know its an option (which is what people need to realize), but I'm not sure how many companies actually use it.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I've kind of learned to not be very emotional about Sports anymore, like for instance when I was younger the '98 Vikings loss in the NFC Championship completely devastated me, I felt awful and completely depressed for like a month.

Now a days one of my teams loses I might be a little upset directly after the game, but I quickly move on with other things in life immediately so.

Miami baseball will probably go undefeated this year. Nothing too crazy. And the Marlins will probably go 81-0 at home too in their new stadium.

That's a pretty good Wizzleman impersonation you have there.

Re: Off Topic 2012

You mock me sir? My simple little hillbilly return is done via Turbo Tax and it's direct deposit into my bank. If I don't have the money in my account by Friday


Cause that means no Louisville vs Pitt tickets for Sunday.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Now that I think about it. When your favorite team loses in Sports it's not really about the fact that they lost, it's more about "How" they lost that determines your reaction.

If they faced a quality opponent and put up a good fight and just came up short, I don't think too many fans can be mad for long about their teams' efforts.

What can really lead to frustration is one or more of these scenarios.
-Your team loses in the Playoffs where the stakes are at their highest, and you are more upset about having to wait another year for a Championship.

- Your team loses to another team that you believe to be "inferior" in some way, whether it's a less talented team on paper, a team with a really poor record, or a team that is poorly run, coached.

- When your team just appears to come out completely flat, and appears to not be playing with the same amount of effort, passion as the other team which leads to a blowout.


Those are the main factors IMO to a fan being angry about a loss. Oh and how could I forget a crucial Officiating decision that leads to a possible game changing outcome. Obviously it's a lot more than 1 call that goes into the outcome of a game, but fans still love to rage on the refs.

Federal refunds typically take more than a week for direct deposits.

For some reason I put a deposit down on ME3 at my local GameStop. Unfortunately, they had already taken up all the reserves for the CE so I just decided to put it down on the regular. The CE keeps luring me, though. I might change my deposit over to SSX and preorder ME3 from Amazon. Decisions...

Well it's a good thing I'm a Suns, Sabres, Braves, and Texans fan then.

Re: Off Topic 2012

So I've recently really gotten into the Premiere League. Like I'll watch any game that's on. I watched a Wolverhampton vs another team facing relegation and I loved it. I think I'm gonna support either Everton or Tottenham. I hate Arsenal and I don't want to root for either of the Manchesters because that's too easy. Any opinions?

If you hate Arsenal, fine, but for the love of God, don't support the Spurs.

Re: Off Topic 2012

I don't get sad or depressed about the Packers anymore. Just angry when they lose.

Re: Off Topic 2012

Re: Off Topic 2012

I hate Netflix.

There's just too damn many shows for me to watch and more I'm afraid to even add to my Q...

I'm trying to balance White Collar, How I Met Your Mother, 30 Rock, NY Ink, and Coal..

I started watching Blue Mountain State and got bored with it, after a few episodes. It's funny to begin with, then just gets kinda lame..

I hate Netflix because they have too many tv shows and hardly ANY recent movies in insta stream on there any more. I been using Zune 99% of the time now because of it. Netflix is nothing but a tv show watching service now.

Go to Spurs they are like Tampa Bay Rays and or OKC Thunder of the EPL.

Don't go to Liverpool, unless you like the Redsoxs or Lebron.

Everton? You wont like that.

Fulham is the cheesy answer cause of American Clint Dempsey.

If you dont go with Spurs, I would suggest going with QPR. Rich owner, solid Manager, but are struggling to stay in the league. Perfect time to get attached.
