I guess I'm not poor after all

After beating myself up for having a net worth under 100K I guess I can feel a bit better about myself.

This site Global Rich List

Does put things in perspective. So even if you collected unemployment last year and made 18,000, you're still in the top 12% of the world in terms of wealth! Crazy

Dave Matthews Tickets

I'm going to dump a pair of DMB tickets for the show next month. If anyone wants them here let me know. If no one on the various places I hang out online want them, then I'm going to use StubHub.

Construction Fail

Yea I guess the full moon may have played a role in this clusterfuck today

What I am going to take some heat for is that I wish that the region DID build the highways that they proposed back in the early 1970's Yea I know that I may be in the minority as we always hear that the highways in this area are evil, blah blah blah. But pesonally I wish they did stick to the master plan laid out here:

We wouldn't have to worry about fixing stupid rusted out bridges every few years and paying $1 to cross them every time if they just would have built the surface loops that they had originally proposed. It would have all been perfectly placed right about now as that is where everything ended up pushing out anyway in the direction of Clarance, Lancaster. Would we have a clogged traffic jam every day on NF Blvd or Transit Rd?

That little highway spur through Tonawanda/North Tonawanda would be handy right about now! But that's Ok as it it seems everyone is content wasting 45 minutes of their lives traveling 6.5 miles on Niagara Falls Blvd.
It's scary as someone knew back then that the only thing that will keep the economy going is building new houses further and further out from city core decorated with shitty retail strip malls with no parking spaces.

So this may answer a few Q's

I found this gem and just had to share:

6. Talk to her (I am a bit socially anxious and don't make the first move) CHECK

5. Acting Interested (I'm in my own little world on my phone) CHECK

4. Dancing (Well I do this pretty well so) Negative

3. Complimenting her Looks (You did something to your hair & it's different?) CHECK

2. Being Nice (I guess I'm kind of a Nice Guy) Negative

1. Having the wrong name (According to a study of 6,000 people, men named Michael, James and David are the clear winners, with all three placing in the top ten for Most Successful, Luckiest, and yes, Most Attractive names.) CHECK ;-)

So 4/6 is not bad at all. I guess if I don't dance and be more of a Dick I'll find happiness...
