One Trillion Dollars.... Hahaha

Inflation.  Scary thing isn't it?  They showed these around the office.  It's a reserve bank note of Zimbabwe.  When inflation gets out of hand the printing presses are sure working hard.  But just like a house of cards it usually all comes tumbling down.

So what would "one hundred trillion dollars" ( I feel like I'm in one of the Austin Powers movies as the evil villan) actually buy?  Probably not much.  Going back in the time tunnel to the German Weimar Republic I think a wheelbarrow of cash only got you a loaf of bread.  In fact I think the story goes when the person went to get the cash outside the bakery, someone had dumped out the cash and stole the wheelbarrow.

About Me

My Name is Pepe Montego (no not really, but for the sake of having a name on this blog and keeping my privacy I found this name, pretty cool eh?)

I’m a typical man in his 30’s that just sees this world in a different pair of dark hazel eyes.  All this man wants to know is why things are done the way they are done (does that make sense?).

The goal of this blog is to do nothing more than create a little curiosity, make fun of the social norm and maybe even provide a wee bit of entertainment.  Please excuse me if anything I say comes across as offensive.  It is not my intention to offend, just to be curious.

Bottom line, (and I LOVE to get down to the bottom line) life is too short to just follow along what others are always doing; sometimes we need that rebel or misfit to point out the obvious.  Like the ones who see things differently, thanks Steve Jobs.

Thanks for visiting my blog.

Who Orders Appetizers at a Buffet?

So I have this family member that is afraid she will die if she isn’t the first one in line( as if anyone could go hungry during a family gathering for Thanksgiving).  I mean it’s more like, she is terrified there will not be enough food if she is last, maybe it’s just me, but she is the only one I know like this.  

So quick answer to this entry question, maybe people need to feel like they can take some food with them, even though they are so full they have to waddle like a 9 month old pregnant women on their way out.  Who can even think of taking food out, or even look at food when you just spent the last 45 minutes stuffing your face.

Short Fountain

First of all I’m not here to make fun, but at work the drinking fountain is completely catered to the shorter person.  So I’m not tall, just shy of 6’, but every time I get a drink I’m imagining I’m a samurai warrior who has to bow down to his knees to fight the master of water just to parch my lips, ahhhh yah.  Call me lazy, but seems like a lot of bowing for just a sip of that cool and refreshing natural H2O.  Why are they so low to the ground, don’t they understand most people will need to get so low to get a drink they might just give up and not even use that drinking fountain.  Wouldn't that be a waste of resources, at that point?  Also, just an afterthought, it seems weird one would need to bend over so low and then have to fight gravity to suck that water up and into their mouth and into their stomach.  Maybe I’m looking into it too much. 

What Makes a Person Free?

I can't help but think as I ride public transportation, and see all these people pour in and out of the trains like tinny worker ants, are they free?  Do they feel like they are trapped in their job?  Do they feel like they could quite and find a perfectly good job elsewhere?  Do they feel confined to not standing up for them self at work for fear they might lose their job?  

Ants don't ask these questions, they just follow and work, what am I?
