Starting a Company
I never realized exactly how hard it is to establish an actual company in the United States. I have just begun this adventure, and already I am more stressed than I have ever been in my life. In order to have an established company at the very basic level I need at least a Limited Liability Company, or LLC. It is exactly like a regular company, except with less paper work, its cheaper, and you don't need to be organized for a profit, although we are. Without an LLC, you cannot own stores, or open a business bank account. The great thing about an LLC, at least in the state of Illinois, is that it is not a taxable entity. Therefore, you do not have to charge a tax on any goods sold if you so wish. This is great because personally, I hate a 7% tax on a $1,500 computer. Its been difficult so far, but I am working to set up my LLC with my lawyer, although we have already begun building computers to sell in the meantime. One thing we haven't come to an agreement on yet is our company's logo, no one has had a design that just seems to fit perfectly. We are all looking forward to being a legal entity in the business world, and to start earning revenue for our hard work.

Late Night Drive-Thru Employees
On late nights, my girlfriend and me go on those typical fast food runs. Usually these go really well, and result in smiles and satisfied stomachs. But just yesterday we had trouble getting what we wanted. I pulled up to our favorite stop, Taco Bell, and proceeded to order. I was only able to get out that I wanted two hard, and two soft tacos before she told me my total and asked me to pull around. Well I wasn't finished, I also needed a beefy 5 layer burrito, and a crunch wrap with no lettuce or tomato. So after I added that she gave our total, with a nasty attitude. I reluctantly pulled up to the window and handed the lady the money as she gave us our food. After receiving my change she closed the window without saying a word and we drove off. When we got home and opened up our food to eat, we realized that the crunch wrap I ordered had lettuce and tomato on it. A perfectly bad outing, ended with a perfectly bad taco.

Yay Interwebs
Being an IT, I just love when my browser takes 5 hours to load Google. If only companies could offer better services for schools, and more affordable internet hosting plans. In light of this, here is a video of a monkey making himself pass out:
