bloated bs

So I found myself wondering when Cheryl was going to leave Larry David as I caught up with season 6 of curb from the library, and I glanced towards my lap and my shirt was curled up over my belly and a glass of wine held loosely in my right hand, truly pathetic. As is Larry David. Have you seen the show? Thoroughly painful but entertaining at the same time. So I thought what are the demographics of this show? Maybe I need to advertise . Then I came to my senses and decided to write about unemployment.

Good interview.

Will know more, it is like $20K< than I made last year. I have supplemental income ideas but I sure don't need to pay $300/month health insurance, no sir.

So my sister sent me a package and it is a book of ready made apologies for 8 years of GW, please find one of the apologies as follows:

_______________x___________________________

The Color Orange
c/o The National gallery of Art
600 Constitution Ave. NW
Washington, D.C. 20565

Dear Orange,

Once upon a time you were the color of deliciousness and joy.

Now you're the color of imminent terror.

Sorry.

Sincerely,

Unemployed in Des Moines

Sad day at the unemployment office

I thought I had to re-file for unemployment today, in person. So I arrived in person bright and early at 10am but was told I would be able to re-file online WHEW as not only was it hard to find a parking space but inside I was told if I wished to see someone in person it would be a 2-3 hour wait and I glanced all around and there was not a seat to be had. It was nuts. In fact as I was exiting the parking lot a news van pulled in. Sad. Scary and sad. The unemployment office had the potential to look like the overwhelmed hospital in Gaza City looked today on the news.

In better news I have a job interview on Wednesday.

2009 Hope Bowl


I believe it was last February (2008) that the Clinton machine was doing its best to shmear Obama and I said to all my friends 'why do they have to poop in my hope bowl?' Well thankfully we all know how that ended up, but the miso is tainted, not only by the Clintons but by greed, religion, lack of civil rights for gay people, yadayadayada. But I still have hope?


I sure hope I find a decent way to earn a living. I have not been idle about finding a job I've had two interviews, with another next week only one is worth talking about but will do so at another time. I've also been examining my priorities as far as what it takes for me to be comfortable and I am fairly simple when it comes to comfort so that was easy to reconcile with. I realized this morning that despite the economy and being jobless I haven't really had to adjust my lifestyle (except I try not to listen or read about the state of the economy as it has the potential to induce a panic attack and recently someone asked me what I do with all of my time and I said that I vacillate between bong hits and panic attacks, and that person said in what order and I said that it really didn't matter) I guess I don't eat out as often but who cares? I would like some new clothes and to be able to take a trip this year so I just need a decent paying job with health care and a 401k that has set hours. Or I come up with a money making entrepreneurial idea, of which I have a few so we shall see. Graphic design is not one of them.


I awakened feeling full of hope this first day of 2009 and I sure as shit am planning on having a prosperous year or else this blog could turn into my own Grapes of Wrath.


That would suck.
Remember make it a Croc free year.
