This years annual March Madness vacation is a bit different than others. Come Monday I won't have to go back to work, which is good (more vacation!) and bad (no job). So I am stuck in the middle, looking for work, while enjoying the time off. One of the benefits of being at job so long is the 3 months of severance pay, but the quicker I get a job, the longer I get two paychecks. Madness is off to a good start, 3 good games, two overtime games. Florida goes down, I enjoyed that. It's not that I don't like Billy Donovan, I just don't like Billy Donovan's Hair. Yes, it gets a capital H, it's a massive piece of engineering which needs to have a staff of at least 3 to maintain. Now its almost 9pm and only 2 blowouts, which don't really count since its a 1 & 2 seed. Again CBS is dropping the ball. Three channels, all on the Georgetown/Ohio game. I can understand not showing the UK game (up 35), but the Northern Iowa/UNLV game is a 2-pointer, put that on one of...

Washington DC - In a stunning reversal of policy Democratic leaders have shifted their focus from the floundering health care plan to the production of a time machine. "We sorta effed things up," President Obama said in a Saturday speech. "With a time machine we can go back to January 21, 2009 and start over. Get things right this time by pulling our collective heads out of our collective asses." The march to the promised land of universal health care has turned into a year long slog through red tape and knee-deep pork barrels. Despite the super majority the Democrats held for almost a year they were unable to get anything done except argue amongst themselves. A combined team of scientists from top US universities have gathered at a secret location somewhere in the desert of New Mexico to work on Project Do Over. "A time machine would be the easiest way to regain the lost time," a leading scientist said. "Much quicker than creating a 'super human...

It's weird being unemployed. I had been with the same company for 13 and half years and in the same store since it opened almost eleven years ago. Now, I have no idea if I will ever step in the store ever again. Not sure its really sunk in yet. It seems like a vacation right now, especially since its around the time I take my annual March Madness vacation. Even when I was driving home it seemed surreal. I was a bit numb, but not really upset since no tears were shed. The writing had been on the wall for almost two years now and I was the obvious choice to go. One of the reasons I wasn't really upset was because of the cd I listened to on the way to work, for whatever reason I grabbed the Stones ' Exile on Main Street ' for the seven mile trip. 'Exile' is one of my top 5 albums and if you don't own this album, you need to. It ends the greatest four studio album stretch in rock history. Between 1968 and 1972 the Stones released 'Beggars Banquet', '...
