Alright allow for me to just write
Alright this is going to be a little bit of a rant and a little bit of just writing. I don’t really know what it’s going to be more of so just sit back. Have a smoke or drink some whiskey and enjoy it. You could also sit back with a cranberry juice or something I don’t give a shit.
The first thing I would like to discuss is old English. I’m sure a lot of people have read something from Shakespeare and look at it as being very sophisticated English. I disagree with that and it’s the fact that no one was around at that time. Slang is one of the hardest things to pick up on when you read and the hardest part about learning any kind of a language is learning the slang part of it. My assumption is that all of this so called “sophisticated” English is nothing more then slang. I could just imagine how a dialogue and the footnotes you would have if people read or listened to the way spoke in 100 years.
“How you doin, son” or “Take it easy bro”
Now we look at this and this is how people will talk now. Saying son doesn’t mean your referring to an actual son that you father or mother. Saying Bro isn’t referring to your brother, and take it easy could even be hard to comprehend to people who may read the English language in 100 years.
So with that you could look at a phrase like this from (and this is just some random line I grabbed):
LADY MONTAGUE
O, where is Romeo? saw you him to-day?
Right glad I am he was not at this fray.
This is how this would be said today.
Hey, Where’s Romeo? Have you seen him today? I’m glad (or Thank God) he wasn’t at that fight.
Now is that really that much different? I could get into more complex shit but by this point I have probably already put people asleep so let me get on with doing a little rant.
RANTING STARTS
Alright I am so tired of these horror movies that are constantly coming out. I mean you have a movie where a girl is at her prom or something and some guy escapes out of jail to kill. It’s fucking retarded because it’s like they make it so everything has to come together perfectly. This guy who I guess killed her family or something just happened to escape from jail when she had her prom. That is so fucking stupid. Plus they all seem to be the same damn thing… some crazy guy goes on a killing spree, then all of a sudden he kills some people no one cares about, oh and then kills the person everyone seem to like and people hate it, and then he kills the person everyone hates and people cheer. Oh don’t forget about the whole anticipating moment that end up being nothing and then all of a sudden BOOM there is something coming out of nowhere. Plus have you ever noticed that whenever they start to have that slow music and suspense it never ends up being nothing. Those movies are fucking predictable and they get boring quickly.
Another thing is can we please stop with all the movies that have a fucking drug thing in them. There are so many fucking movies that seem to have the whole drug embargo going on and then someone gets into serious trouble and is probably even killed. SAME OLD SHIT.
Also now that we are on movies I want to mention something about Will Farrell. I used to really like him but then I saw his last movie about some basketball team or some shit. Then it occurred to me that this guy has got the exact same character in all of his movies, Old School, Ricky Bobby, That figure skating movie, Anchorman and all his others. The guy was hilarious when he first left SNL and did movies, but now he seems to just be getting boring and doing the same shit over and over again. Plus every time he tries to do some movie where he acts differently it is horrible. Shit Nicole Kidman was funnier then he was in Bewitched. It also just seems like at times he is trying too hard to be funny.
I’m sitting here looking at the shit I was going to write about. However with my ranting I got to be pumped up about something and it has to be fresh in my mind. I got about 5 things I was looking to write about and trust me they may come in time, but not quite yet. When the time comes you will get them and now that I am starting to write I just thought about something else.
The next thing I am going to talk about the Howard Stern Show. I don’t understand why so many people are obsessed with his show. If you listen to it all it is, is the same shit over and over again. He has one of his weird people call up and they all make fun of him. They have some porn star or something come in and they get all perverted with her and try to get her to strip and go on that sex machine they have, whatever the fuck it is called. I’m not going to sit here and say it’s not ok once in a while because I don’t mind a little stupid talk every now and then. However I can’t really watch it for more then 2 days in a row. I need some kind of intelligent radio where people talk about the shit that matters. Plus people got to stop with acting like Stern is a genius. It’s like a said before about how a name means a lot. There are thousands of people out there who could do his show, but because of his name people will look at him as the king.
Well after all my writing and thinking and thinking I guess I should… Oh wait I just thought of something else. Also if you’re wondering, yes I have been tested for ADD.
You ever look at someone and say they are a genius. Being a genius means you have a high IQ but it does not mean you are intelligent. Intelligence is measured by the decisions that you make. Being a genius just means you have a high IQ. Charlie Manson was a genius but he wasn’t intelligent. Had the guy been intelligent then he wouldn’t have used his mind in order to manipulate people to kill for him. Most Serial killers are geniuses, but they are not intelligent because they are using what they have just to go out and kill people. They are the fucking obsessed who probably go around and have newspaper cutouts of the people who they have killed to make them feel like some kind of a celebrity. So don’t look at some guy and think he knows all because he is a fucking genius. It’s not being a genius you want to have but it is having the intelligents to not do stupid things
Now I think I am going to close this out. I’ll just do it now in order to prevent me from thinking about something else to write about.

Time to Vent
Time to vent
Alright I was watching the local news today and I hadn’t watched it for a while. The reason I didn’t watch it as often as I should because of the fact that it just pissed me off. This time is no different so here it is.
Alright one of the things I first saw is that this guy in Texas wants to run for mayor in a city. Sure it doesn’t sound like anything shocking, but the guy is a registered sex offender. Why the fuck would they allow for a registered sex offender to run for mayor? This is just something that pisses me off and I really can not understand this kind of crap. The guy should be lashed and yet he is running for mayor. Also when you really think about it, in order for this guy to even be able to run he would have had to have raised money and gotten supporters. So it shows that some people actually want this guy to become a mayor. People should be fucking shot for shit like this and anyone who votes for him should get their dicks/cunts ripped off.
Alright now onto the next thing I saw. At the Boston Aquarium they allow for the people to swim with sting rays. Oh and guess what… one of the people who did it got stabbed by the sting ray and died. Then again you here these people who work with sting rays say they are docile and calm creatures. Didn’t they learn anything from Steve Irwin dying. Yes they may be docile creatures for the most part, but they have the ability to be very dangerous and kill. So why the fuck would the aquarium allow for people to swim with them? This is just shit I don’t understand and it shows the stupidity of people.
Now let me go onto something else. Why the fuck is the government wasting money on shit that has to do with sports. I swear this senator for Pennsylvania is spending money because the NE Patriots cheated with a camera. Is that really something you need to spend taxpayer money on? The NFL is not a federal company so stay the fuck out of it. The same can be said with this same steroid bullshit. There are other things they should be spending money on then doing a fucking federal investigation on this shit. Pisses me the fuck off that the money that gets taken out of my paycheck goes to this garbage.
Alright that’s all I needed to vent out on and thank you for reading. Also if you didn’t read what I said and just went to the last paragraph then you’re a fucking idiot who can’t manage to read a simple page. You probably spend your time looking at stupid shit while letting your mind rot yet you think you are smart because you can tell me who is going to win the NCAA Tournament, when in reality you’re an idiot. Thank you.

Stupid Statements
Stupid Statements
Alright here is another actual rant and just act like I said some interesting introductory and I’m going to get onto it. Oh and here is a 2nd paragraph so it at least seems like a small paragraph and not just one sentence.
I absolutely can not stand it when people make stupid statement. I get a lot of this when I am working at night and people just say stupid and obvious. The other day it was raining out and so many people went to me and said “wow it’s really raining.” Thank you so much for stating such and obvious thing, I’m surprised these people didn’t become meteorologist. Here are a few stupid statements and things people say that just seems to annoy the shit out of me.
“You working hard or hardly working”
“Wow your wearing all black”
“Hot enough for you.” This is usually by people when it’s like 90 degrees outside and what am I supposed to be like. Yeah I wish it was a little hotter so I would be even uncomfortable right now.
“Are you working tonight:” This is a retarded one for me because I wear a uniform and I wouldn’t be wearing it if I wasn’t working. The same when you see a guy walking home with a Best Buy shirt and people would be like “Oh did you just get out of work”
Now here is another stupid thing that I see on bumper sticker or see people say. “I want peace in the world.” You idiot everyone is going to want peace so it’s not like there is this group of people who are like “yah I wish a war would break out right now and I want to live in a place where I got to dodge bullets” Everyone is going to want peace so why do people think they are so unique and standing up for something that is fucking moral sense. Unless you’re some maniac who wants to go around and be in a war then you’re going to want peace.
There are just so many stupid things that people say and if anyone wants to do a little mini-rant in my comments about stupid statements then go ahead and do it because there are a lot more then this.

Lets bring it back
This is not going to be a long rant but one thing I will say is that it will be a rant. Lately I have not been doing much ranting and looking at some of my recent writing all they seem to be is something where I am trying to inform people. All the writings have been lately is me trying to do something different, but I will not be doing that as much lately. The way I wrote was simply a way to let out frustration and anger towards all the fucked up things people say and do in this world. So enough of the commentary and enough of me writing about shit that you can Google and see about 8000 things on with people trying to inform. The reason I started writing was not to inform people about shit. What the fuck was the point of writing about shit like how to save money? Its common sense on how that shit is done. We all know you are going to get tons of people who are going to take facts and mix them around and it's the reader’s job, not mine, to find these things. I will be going back to RANTING when I feel fired up about a topic enough. My next rant could be months away, or I may get fired up about something enough that I'll write something later on tonight. However now that I think about it, there was something that I had been wanting to rant about for a while and I didn't let it out because I wanted to do it in a video rant, but fuck that I am going to just rant about it now.
Alright now I like to go on YouTube and watch videos once in a while. However there are people who are obsessed with wanting to get their names out. What they will do is that on YouTube you can post video responses to other people videos. They will look for a video from someone who has a lot of subscribers and then post a video response to one of their videos. The problem with this is that the video they are posting has absolutely nothing to do with the video they are responding to. I saw some idiot reply to a video that had to do with Macs by one of the top subscribers and it was just some fucking idiot doing nothing more then rapping. Some fucking rapper, who is undiscovered, and is fucking horrible, trying to get people to listen to your crap by replying to a video someone who people actually give a shit about.
Also does every fucking black dude want to be a fucking rapper? I go down the corner and see 2 homeless guys trying to rap. One will be having a harmonica and the other will rap and look likes a fucking moron. People probably only give these idiots money because they think they are retarded. Cut the fucking BS and get a fucking job like anyone else would. You may also want to look to stop smoking crack as well.
Alright there was a rant and this was actually a rant and now I actually have the gratification and I am getting my fire back with what I rant about. Now I may still do writings from time to time, but they will be more like the things I wrote when I wrote about Utopia. This is not “Enriquo News”. Also there are probably about 5000 grammar errors on this. I wrote this at work and right now I got to run so please shut the fuck up about them. I'll probably correct them later.
EDIT: Ok grammar was corrected. Don’t lie because you didn’t think I would actually do it. Yes you know who you are.

Misleading Facts and the Power of a Name
Misleading Facts and the Power of a Name
Alright again I am not really going to be doing much of a rant but more of just writing. Some people seem to like this style of writing while some people think it really doesn’t feel the same. I can write in very different ways and when I feel like doing another one of my rants where I just go all out then I will do it.
People will do whatever they can in order to try to get their points across. They are willing to do whatever they can and a lot of them will tell you that what they say is fact. When they say what they say is true they are telling the truth, however they will also bring up facts that are irrelevant or negate certain other facts. In this situation they are not technically lying, but they are still misleading in their convictions.
There are several examples of this situation. There are a ton of rapists in the world and if you asked 10 of them if they masturbated before they raped someone they would all say yes. So to someone who is trying to stop someone from masturbating and trying to give the impression it is bad they could say that 10 out of 10 rapists said they masturbated first before they raped someone. So does that means that if you masturbate you are going to become a rapist? It doesn’t mean that at all but people will want you to believe it. If this were true then just about every person on earth would be a rapist.
Maybe that example seemed a little bit too farfetched for you, so I’ll give an example of something that people here about more often: “If you smoke marijuana, you’ll start doing other drugs.” Now let’s look at the facts here, people who are using cocaine, heroin, LSC, or most other drugs have stated that they started off by doing marijuana. Now to someone who is trying to convince you that pot is a gateway drug, that’s where they will stop in delivering their facts. They fail to mention that out of all the people who do pot most of them DO NOT end up trying other drugs. Also lets not forget that pot is the easiest drugs to get, so somebody who is thinking about experimenting with drugs and wants to try all kinds of stuff is going to end up trying pot first because it is the most accessible. Now they already got it in their minds that they want to try out new drugs, it’s not like they are trying pot for the first time and after they smoke it they are like “damn that weed was good, but now I want to try some crack.”
Allow for me to give another example of this situation. The other night I was watching TV and I stumbled across an infomercial saying how you can make money buying foreclosed homes. They mention things like how you can get them cheap and below market value, but they fail to realize important things. When you buy a foreclosed home you are buying blind because the bank isn’t going to let you look in the inside of that house and do you really expect the people who are getting kicked out of their house to let you take a look? Also don’t forget that when houses are foreclosed it’s not like someone comes to the house one day and tells the people to get out and it’s all settled in a day with someone making sure the people don’t damage the house. Foreclosure proceedings will last at least 3 months. In 3 months you can do a lot to damage a house and someone could just go and take a chainsaw to it. Another thing about foreclosures is the price is only about 5%-10%, on average, less then what the market value is. Someone who is trying to sell the fact that buying foreclosed houses will tell you that you can get a house at 40%-50% less then the market value. Now this isn’t a lie because you will only pay about 5%-10%, on average, less then what the market value is. The key phrase there is “on average” which means that there are houses that could end up going that cheap, however it is highly rare. One more thing is that even if you did get the house for less then what the market value is, the house could be damaged so bad that you may end up spending so much money to fix or even rebuild the house that you end up spending more money then what the market value for that house was. This section actually turned into a little part by itself, but I’ll go on.
I was going to make this a one topic writing, but now I feel like writing about something me and one of my friends briefly discussed. Someone I know today bought a video game and didn’t even play it. The only reason he even bought this game in the first place was because it was Final Fantasy. Even though he may not even like this series he still bought it because of the Final Fantasy name and the history that it has. A name is a huge part of marketing and how we look at things and it’s not just in games. If you blindly went to someone and told them, ok you can have a Mercedes or a Ford, which one do you want? Now without even knowing what exactly their choices are most people are going to pick Mercedes because of the name and what it represents.
A few months ago some movie about a singer came out and it was supposedly a parody on the Johnny Cash movie. This movie had some actor I didn’t care about so I had no desire to want to see the movie. If this movie had put Will Ferrell in there then I would have wanted to see it and that’s another example of a name. Will Ferrell has a representation as being a funny guy so even if a movie looks like it won’t be funny at all, if he is in it then it’s going to spark people’s interest a little more.
This goes with advertising as well. If you own a bar and are like “we sell Boston Brewed Harpoon Ale” most people are not going to know what the hell you are talking about. If you are like “we sell Boston Brewed Samuel Adams” then people will know what you are talking about and would be more inclined to come to your bar. You also don’t see electronics stores advertise that they sell Vizio, Magnavox, and Sylvania. So they are going to advertise that they sell Sony, Panasonic, and Samsung. This is because the name sells and gets people interested in what they have.
Alright I am going to end it with that. I may have gone a little too far with the examples but I think they got my point across. Anyways have a nice weekend and don’t start smoking crack. I mean unless you want to smoke crack, but don’t say I told you to do it.
Alright again I am not really going to be doing much of a rant but more of just writing. Some people seem to like this style of writing while some people think it really doesn’t feel the same. I can write in very different ways and when I feel like doing another one of my rants where I just go all out then I will do it.

All about the Money
All about the Money
Alright like the last thing I wrote this isn’t going to be a rant but of a viewpoint on people and money. Why people get into debt? Why they don’t set their priorities straight etc. This will be a writing in which I want to just talk about some things and why so many people mismanage their money because of ego.
You see people all the time who go and drive these $50,000 luxury cars. They will go and spend that extra money on the car just because of the logo on the car. Lets take 2 very similar cars that are actually made by the same company: The Lexus ES and the Toyota Avalon. As many of you probably know Toyota owns Lexus and the 2 cars I mentioned here are similar because they are both considered luxury. The Toyota Avalon has a base price of about 27k and then Lexus ES has a base price of 33k. So you are going to be spending an extra 6K for a different logo on the car. That is not worth the money, but people will buy it because they want people to know they are driving a Lexus. A car is simply something that will get you from one point to another and there it stops.
Now I know what some people are probably thinking and that’s “but if you have a good car people will know you are successful.” That’s not true and I want to use an example of this. I know a guy who sells real estate and he is going around driving a beat up Toyota Tacoma and then there is a guy who is making as much money as him yet he feels the need to drive around in a Porsche Cayan (however the hell you spell it). Now when I first wanted to get into real estate people would tell me, “you got to be driving in a fancy car so they know you’re successful.” That is not true because people look at the person who they are dealing with and not the car they drive. There are people out there who are loaded yet they will drive in the most economic car out there.
Now the car thing went on a little longer then I thought it would, but I’m guessing people don’t realize that there are little ways people spend their money foolishly. Let’s look at something as simple as food. Now let’s say you’re at work and its lunch time, so you go down to get a sandwich and a drink and then your spending about $10 a day on food. This ends up being you spending $50 a week on food and $200 a month. Meanwhile you can go to a deli and get enough roast beef, cheese and bread to last you a week of lunches at that same $10 dollars that only got you one sandwich. You can take it even further with it. Your eating dinner and you decide to cook up some pasta. Cook up more then you’re going to eat and then save the leftovers and use it for lunches or even dinner tomorrow. Little things like that are going to get you more money.
Remember that if the most important thing you should always put above everything is that you should always have food on the table, a roof over your head, and clean clothes to wear. There are people out there who drive an Escalade yet they are living with 5 other people in a crowded apartment. This is because of there ego. They know that people are more likely to see them in there Escalade then people will see them in there sausage fest apartment. People want to give the illusion that “yah I’m rich.” Those people are going to be in debt and living in a shithole for a long time because they are not smart with money.
Alright that is pretty much all I wanted to get across in this rant. I’ll be doing a video rant in the very near future and I already know what I am going to be ranting about so don’t worry. Some of you may have seen my test video rant but I don’t consider that my official first one. Anyways have a nice day and remember my 3 rules. If you don’t know them, then get your foot out of your ass. If this is the first time you are reading one of my rants: Don’t Get Pregnant/Get someone Pregnant, Don’t Get Arrested, and don’t get killed.
Alright like the last thing I wrote this isn’t going to be a rant but of a viewpoint on people and money. Why people get into debt? Why they don’t set their priorities straight etc. This will be a writing in which I want to just talk about some things and why so many people mismanage their money because of ego.
You see people all the time who go and drive these $50,000 luxury cars. They will go and spend that extra money on the car just because of the logo on the car. Lets take 2 very similar cars that are actually made by the same company: The Lexus ES and the Toyota Avalon. As many of you probably know Toyota owns Lexus and the 2 cars I mentioned here are similar because they are both considered luxury. The Toyota Avalon has a base price of about 27k and then Lexus ES has a base price of 33k. So you are going to be spending an extra 6K for a different logo on the car.

CELEBRITY NEWS OMFG!!!!
CELEBRITY NEWS OMFG!!!!!!
Alright people I got some big celebrity news for all of you. Today at around 7am ET… Jennifer Love Huge Tits took out her trash. Then at the same time we saw Robert Duval wearing a black shirt. Now we are not sure but according to the guy who is asking for change in your local corner, what he is trying to say is that he is black. Robert Duval is not a black man and we can not confirm this yet but we can almost guarantee you that he is black. We have also heard rumors that Britney Spears said “Oh My God.” Now we do not know who her god is but it is confirmed that she has a god. We are still looking to find out who it is but it’s not yet confirmed.
Ok now what I just wrote was actually bullshit but I’m going to go take a look at one of those gossip sites and see what’s really going on and give you an idea of how sad some people really are.
“Vanessa Minnillo goes on so many damn vacations, it's hard to believe she actually had money to spare when a homeless man hit her up for cash today in NYC.
he was giving to the beggar, but didn't give anything up to TMZ on engagement rumors or sharp pal Lindsay Lohan.
The homeless guy was more talkative -- revealing the best and worst celebs to get money from in NYC.”
Alright that is all of that I can really look at. But that’s just an example. People actually report that this girl gave money to a homeless guy. Yeah it really is sad and I’ll end it with that.
