It was bound to happen eventually and now it has. A Colorado man has been fired from his job because of a Facebook post he made about his company while on the clock. Joe Lobato was at work and began feeling severely sick. Lobato said it was so bad that, "It felt like someone was kicking me in my stomach." Lobato went to his supervisor who basically told him not to leave his work station again....nice guy.

Mother's day is this Sunday and if nothing else, your mom deserves the acknowledgment for all that she does. Last year I posted an article about what being a mom is worth on the open market, which is about $112,000 per year. A mom's work is never done and sometimes...no, most of the time we take that for granted.

This video is very interesting and I am really not sure how I feel about it, or whose side I'm on. Motorcycle cop goes into a convenience store to buy a soda and parks his bike on the sidewalk in front of the store, which of course is illegal. Jeremy Drew, 12, confronts the officer and asks why he parked the way he did.

Since 3-D printing technology became a reality, the fear of being able to create something destructive has been realized. The first ever 3-D printed gun has been fired successfully, which has a lot of people, including lawmakers, very worried. The other problem is the fact that the gun's digital blueprints can be downloaded for free by anyone who wants to build their own and has access to a 3-D printer, which is perfectly legal.

The old adage 'nice guys finish last' might actually have some truth to it if you believe a new study. How often have you sent an e-mail to someone hoping for a quick response, only to get a response much later than desired, assuming you even get a response.

Some believe that Cinco De Mayo is Mexican Independence day, which it is not. Some believe that even though Cinco de Mayo is not an American holiday, it should be. Mexico first declared it's independence from Spain on September 15, 1810 and it took until 1821 to get all of the Spanish soldiers out of Mexico once and for all.

How long has it been since you have seen 'The Matrix'? One of the great Sci-Fi movies in recent years starring Keanu Reeves and Laurence Fishburne. Some guy got the idea to sit down with his mom and watch the entire movie and then asked her to retell the entire story after they watched it.

I spend a lot of time in meetings throughout the week and I am astonished at the number of people who bring their cell phones to these meetings anymore. I have never said anything about this before, but lately I have noticed over the last year that I seem to be the ONLY one who doesn't bring their cell phone into any given meeting.

I have had it up to here with the Westboro Baptist Church and their hate spewing ideologies. They were supposed to picket at the funeral today of George Jones in Nashville, but no word on whether or not they carried out that picket. These people picket at the funerals of fallen soldiers and celebrities and for what reason? I would like somebody to explain to me how they can call themselves a church?

Not to call anybody out here, but you know how long it takes to check-out at Wal-Mart and some grocery stores in general. Wal-Mart always seems to only ,literally, have just a few lanes open at peak traffic times and it can be absolutely exasperating. Kroger Supermarkets has solved that problem with infrared cameras -- the same cameras used for tracking people by law enforcement and the military.

If your company came to you and said they would give you a 15% raise if you got the company's logo tattooed on your body, would you do it? Now, before you get all excited and scream yes, yes, yes, let's remember the average workplace raise is somewhere around 3% so, a 15% raise is five times bigger...are you with me? Lets also consider the fact that you might not have any tattoos and have no real interest in getting one and you feel very strongly about that.

We normally blog about sports stories that have some kind of local angle, if we blog about sports at all. Colts fans have no use for the New York Jets and the Jets are such a joke right now, their own fans could do without them. Yesterday, they released Tim Tebow in a way that was humiliating and completely disrespectful.
