Well I can say one thing for myself, I'm fully tired of the rain being here, and can't wait for it to be gone for good. Of course the problem is, I'm not in control of the weather at all, no that's up to the big guy up stairs. But it's still a pain in the butt either way.
The one main problem that Fresno happens to have with the rain, and we go through this every year, is that the drains for the rain, are clogged and they never get unclogged at all. No matter how many times people complain, the city here just doesn't do anything about it, always claiming that it's not in the budget at all. Well hell if they didn't redirect the budget towards their own pockets, they would have the money to actually get things done in Fresno, instead of worrying if they have the money or not when it comes to everything. Too bad even when we tell them how to be able to deal with the problem, they still don't listen in the least.
Now there is something that I've commented about yesterday, dealing with Abercrombie & Fitch and a product that they're now currently selling, and still continue to sell despite that parents are refusing to buy this for their kids. So no matter what they happen to call it (since they have changed the name from "Stripped push up triangle" to "Stripped triangle"), it's not only wrong, it's completely out of call as well. This is the current story on Good Morning America's web site: http://abcnews.go.com/US/abercrombie-fitch-padded-bikini-top-year-olds-parents/story?id=13236904 and personally I'm one for working on trying to get this off the market completely. It was tried once before over in Britain, but the guy pulled it from the shelf after everyone cried foul on him. However as it says in the story, this company is basically saying "Not only are we not going to pull it, you can kiss our @$$, because we'll do as we please", That's almost how it was back when the guy that ran K-Mart had said that "We're bigger the Jesus". That right there had gotten his stocks to plunge so, that Sears bought it out. Honestly I do believe that the same thing might happen if they don't change what they're doing, plus it's not a matter of if you don't buy it they won't make it. Problem is, even if you don't buy it, they will still make it because you're buying their other products, so they figure that you'll eventually buy that product as well. Personally I see that this is completely wrong, but since they happen to be bigger then me, there's no way that I can personally do anything, and I know that no one will put them into a law suit over this either.
Now there is something that even I find personally happy about, and it's again one that I've covered before, and it's dealing with the Nintendo 3DS. However it was covered better then I could review it (since they had the device in their hands: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/nintendo-releases-3ds-handheld-device-13231925) on the weekend edition of GMA. Like I had said before, this is something that if done right, could take the market away from Sony and the PSP BIG TIME.
Now as I was trying to load up the page for the 3DS, I ran into a breaking news banner dealing with the Japanese Radiation that's going on over there, and from what I had seen on there, and heard from the report, the rods from some of the damaged reactors are starting to melt, and we all know that's bad news right there. However as I watched the report I noticed that this is something that we've already been seeing and it's actually nothing new on that note, but it tells us that the Japanese are trying to keep this contained and they're not going a good job of it at all.
Personally I know that I'm starting to sound like a reporter there, but it's hard not to, when all you want to do is just say what you really think, and I'm thinking that the superiority of the Japanese mind set over there is going down big time since all of this happened. They really just don't know what in the world they're doing and it's being proven in spades. Yes we're trying to help them out, but honestly I'm feeling a why bother mentality when it comes to all of this, however it's then another part of my mind that ends up coming back up and saying that it really wouldn't be right if we didn't help them out. Too bad that we actually can't help them out in the area that I know that they really need the help in to begin with, and that's what I find completely messed up.
