The way I see it

Let's get something out of the way right now. This is neither the best nor is it particularly western. It is, however, not a bad place to stay in Hong Kong.  Fairly centrally located near 'Times Square' according to the signage this hotel is independently operated and is not a "corporate" hotel. The people were generally very friendly and helpful for the most part. The location superb. Right off the airport bus line e11 and a stones throw from the mall.  Great eateries surround this hotel so you won't be disappointed. The decor is... interesting. The room ambiance is highlighted by this wonderful chandelier. Is this a mirror???  NO! It is a mirror frame with a lovely accent of wallpaper. The bed was nice but rather unsupportive overall I would say Location: 10/10 Comfort: 6/10 Friendliness: 7/10 Value: 7.5/10

It has been about a week since Valentine's Day and there are some things that have just gotta stop. 10. Reposts on facebook of art and poetry. People of the world do you know what would be great? If your loved one created his or her own love letter to share on fb not a repost or share of somebody else's (yeah even Shakespeare) I will write my own to  show you how easy it is Roses are funky Violets are nice Let's make like monkey(s) And pick off our lice 9. Couple anythings Couple shirts Couple shoes Couple hats Couple whatevers Stop... just stop 8. Bouquets of wannabe roses Roses are a classic (I'll deal with them next) but what the heck is with pretend roses. Bouquet of muffin roses Bouquet of chocolate roses Bouquet of organic brussel sprout ROSES Classics are classics for a reason people! 6. Roses (I told you) Can y'all pick a new flower? How about hyacinths? Of lily of the valley? Maybe a flowering cacti for a change? And what's t...

5. I am insane Jimmy James the eccentric owner of the fictional WNYX is a tad bit more than nutty he is full on cray cray. I would like to say I am not but let's be honest I made this list and that should be proof enough. 4. I am the boss Although technically my position is closer to Dave's I am still a boss and I have lots of wild ideas. Dave doesn't have the ridiculousness of Jimmy... but I do. 3. Similar build This one is waaaaaay to easy. 2. Similar views on management Remember the episode when Jimmy hires the efficiency expert to get rid of everyone without taking any of the blame. That is totally something I wish I could do. Jimmy, later on does over some of the choices as he is a fair person. Just like me. 1. Has bizarre rules on management Big JJ has these rules on management based on tired axioms and unrelated sayings. These words of advice though nonsensical I have found really work and actually help. So remember the first rule of management "mea...

Popeye likes spinach and Wimpy likes burgers... given my immense physical prowess it is obvious to see who I have more in common with... Menu showcasing their signature oblong Burger patty We went to Wimpy's on an unforgiving late January Friday lunch and had a great meal and a pleasant dining experience.  It had been a couple of years since I ate at Wimpy's and it was a fine time to com back! I actually have fond memories of this place as it is a place that my father loves and it always brings a smile to my face to go here with him. Location is everything in the world and this place is located in a good place just up at the top of Lundy's Lane Niagara Falls, Canada beside the outlet mall. Where the people at? Today, however, they were not being killed with customers. In fact, we were the only ones there!   It was OK though I actually enjoy being the only diners sometimes as you can feel like you are there to seriously judge and inspect the food and if you ar...

Am I really so basic? Elevator jokes? Really? Well yes... I am going there because people just don't learn. An elevator call button... NOT ROCKET SCIENCE Up and down people... that would be people who push the up and the down to summon the lift faster are just terribly awful people. If you do this, I am sorry to be the one to tell you this but, you are both unintelligent and selfish. Think very carefully about this and use logic. The elevator is machine that is programmed to respond to inputs of either up or down. In a system with more than one car it coordinates cars based on the pushes on different floors and sends the elevators based on the programming. It cannot deduce that since you pushed the up and the down there must be a ton of people waiting and it should send the car you want faster. Let's look at it a different way.  You are on floor 10 and you want to go down. Being an idiot you press the "up" and "down" because it is 'fas...

Why did the chicken cross the road?  This is a question which has plagued scholars, philosophers, and comedians for aeons. Lucky for us the question has been solved by the good people at KFC Malaysia.  As we can see on the side of their truck chickens form a uniform line and find a safe pedestrian crossing before making their way across the street in an organised manner. Their destination - KFC - where they become delicious morsels of deep-fried, battered goodness. This is one of the only recorded instances of a pedestrian walk being used where the pedestrian didn't have to dive out of the way of a motorcyclist. Well there you have it folks... I have solved one of life's little mysteries for you.
