Okay at this point I have come to realize that I am the only one reading this but who gives a flying eff! I am going to write things in here as they come to me and maybe one day this will become relevant to someone somewhere.
In 2009 I decided that my life was not complicated enough...or at least that must have been what I was thinking. Why in the hell else would I take 6+ years of self employment with a company that was finally well on its way to being a success and 15 years of marriage that was already a success...and totally throw everything into the air with no way of knowing where the pieces would land and move to Florida. Florida was something that I wanted to do more than anything in the world. Truth be told, my life was perfect in Michigan...all except for the part about living in Michigan.
I had already gotten out once, in 1981. My parents moved me to Texas and I loved it. In 1986 I was dragged kicking and screaming back to Detroit. I hated it then and I hated it in 2009. I needed a vehicle to initiate the move. I hatched a plan.
Enter Cycle Stop USA.
Opened in October of 2009, Cycle Stop USA was going to revolutionize the service industry. The only problem is that the market wasn't ready for ride in ride out motorcycle service yet. Sales were marginal (to be expected with a new company) but the response was good. People DO want to get work done on their motorcycle while they wait. We just need to look in new places, not just the same ones we always have.
So here I sit inside my Lakeland, Florida pool home, regrouping and formulating a newer plan. Will it work?
Absolutely! You see...I never fail, but sometimes my ideas do!

DROID.....not even a close second!
An open letter to all Droid programmers:
Congratulations...you have failed miserably to create a smart phone that even comes close to the functionality of Apple's I-phone. Droid is to the phone market what the XFL was to professional football:
To the programmers: you were handed the single best network in the country and yet you come up short on features that could have made Verizon a winner. At&t drops calls constantly in most metro areas yet the Iphone and its ability to properly push mail from my work account to my phone make that device a clear winner over the Droid's B.S. lame attempt at capturing new emails. And...as long as we are on the subject of email: "If I wanted a Gmail account, I would already have one"! Why should I have to have ANOTHER friggin' email account just so that I can have your lame phone and crappy O.S.? Strike two!
Why is there 5+ Droid devices available? Simple answer: So that more people make more money. People like choices and all of you that consider Apple users "Sheep" for flocking into the Apple store and buying the same thing need to wake up and smell that ether...when there is only one device to choose from...all of the focus for development is on that device. That makes things simpler for the end user. Strike 3...you're out!
The bottom line is this; when (if) Verizon ever gets the I-phone, AT&T will be in a world of hurt. They will be forced to make deals and to up their game (network) to compete in urban areas like New York, L.A., Detroit etc. Until that time...you can keep your Droid and I will gladly suffer AT&T's wretched service and second rate network.

- Juvenile
- Loose
- Dorky (dumbing down technology so that the cognitively impaired feel at par is not something you should be congratulated for)
