Interesting fact I picked up on Labor Day. The average unemployed America spends 18 minutes a day looking for a job. Hmmm.
Didn't we -just- have a huge argument about balancing the budget and controlling spending? I seem to remember some conversation.
Lessons learned - If you sell a car to someone who cannot afford it, they will not pay for it. This -could- cause banks to loose money, a higher interest rate on loans, and a decline in the economy. Just saying. - If you give a state 18 million dollars to spend on infrastructure, they will fire teachers, lay off state employees and not balance their budget, nor create new jobs.
Please, no more learning oppurtunities for me.
The price of gasoline still baffles me. I guess I should buy a smart car. Oh wait, see previous message.
My PS3 has departed this realm, rest well old friend. I salvaged the hard drive. It will be an experiment to see what I can get into my new PS3 Slim model. You fanbois didn't think I was going to switch to XBox360 did you?
I found a new game on Facebook. Here's how it works. In the top right corner of your wall, two little picutres pop up, and it says People You May Know, then offers a link for you to click, which you can add them as friends. Now, if you have a common friend, thats not such a big deal. My rules are that you only click the ones that you are NOT connected to, ask them to add you and see the results. They are complete strangers. I will let you know the results.
I have quite a few things on my list of Hmmm's today, but I am going to let them gel a bit, check back next week, let's see what falls out.
Thanks for stopping by, Dear Reader. I will try to get this thing back on track soon.

La, La, La
Soo.
Gas prices are going up. It's summer time, no big deal right? See my previous gas price post, I won't be rehashing. However! The price of crude continues to drop. Simple economics right? Demand goes down, prices go down. That's what we have all been taught to believe in. To me? Doesn't look so simple. It is kind of backwards actually. Demand for gas has gone down, so now its no longer a commodity, but it is a luxury. Luxury items cost more, facts 'o life. Ever seen a Lambroghini commercial on television? Rolls Royce? They still make these cars, and apparently they sell them to someone too. There are no commercials to shop around for your own helicopter or airplane. You know the rest.
Casey went hom... wait, that's not right. Casey left jail, yes that's it, Casey left jail this morning. She had around 500 dollars and some chaneg in her pocket. I think that is more than she arrived with. Any takers on the bet that she can turn that into a million? I am not going to discuss the rights or wrongs in her case. I do not have enough information to make that decision. I will allow this pondering however.. before we all jump on the Caley's Law bandwagon, let's just try to remember that while there may be some problems in our legal system, those who enforce and prosecute people who have violated these laws do not always do so to the best of their ability, nor do they think to very far outside of the proverbial box when seeking what their interpretation of a law represents.
Moving right along.
I am somewhat disaapointed. Charlie has a new employee. He hired last week a SocialNetworking Administrative Assistant. I have nothing against that really. I mean, great, he is creating jobs, sharing his wealth, #winning. What bothers me now is that I cannot in full faith believe his tweets are really his. This guy is likely tweeting for Charlie, providing the illusion that Charlie is doing it. I still follow, call me a sucker for train wrecks. This brings me to another point. When did it occur that Charlie Sheen evolved into Charlie? Say his name, Charlie, everyone knows who you are talking about.
Madonna, Prince, Fonzie, and now Charlie.
National Debt. Heh.
El Presidente wants us to believe that if they do not reach an agreement, social security checks will not go out on August 3. If you believe that, then that prime real estate deal we spoke of last year is still on the table. It's a water shed, not a swamp, I promise.
'Til next time, Dear Reader.

I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, where the hell have you been?! I wish I could tell you that I have been on safari. On a world cruise. Backpacking thru Europe and avoiding death at local Hostels.
Sorry, none of the above.
I have been on sabatical. Walkabout. In hiding. The fuzz is.. no wait, that's a different story, for a different blogsite.
I have, let's say, been recharing my batteries. To be honest, Dear Reader, in order for me to write, I must be motivated, inspired, and last year, I lost my motivation, and inspiration. It is returning I think, let's all hope I don't blow my comeback bloggity.
On to more important things!
New York has made same sex marriage legal. Our El Presidente' has released national oil reserves. Charlie has been replaced by Ashton. I don't have to tell you what all this means.
How many of you were disapointed that the zombie apocalypse missed us? I was devestated. I didn't wash dishes, cut grass, do laundry. Man I was a busy boy on that day after, let me tell you.
It's all connected you see. My pulpit master told me when I was a child that after The Rapture, it would be hell on Earth, those who did not meet Jesus in the sky would be left to the Earth for suffer for Satan's thousand year reign. Nevermind.
Let me ask you something. Have you heard about the newest attempt by the government to get us all to stop smoking? To make smoking less attractive to children? The tobacco companies must make changes to the packaging to display a graphic images of what the use of tobacco can do to you. The guy blowing smoke out his trachea hole. The Iron Lung. What your lungs really look like after years of tobacco use. I won't be bothered actually. It will be rather cool to set my pack of cigs down on the table at my local eatery while I enjoy lunch, and observe the reactions of those around me who cannot eat with this picture staring at them. Wait 'til the fights start over where are allowed to display your cigarette pack! The oppurtunities are endless. Shirt pocket on that white oxford. It is going to be a laugh riot.
Coming to my Hmmmm spot now. Thanks for staying tuned. In today's world of youth, who are raised on video games depicting the best way to blow apart an opponent, who really, do you think is going to latch onto these new images first? Do they really think that Grandma, who has been smoking for 60 years is really going to care about that picture and stop smoking because of it? Or, do you think.. maybe.. that the tobacoo companies, who have always been on the cutting edge of advertising, do you think, that teens will be collecting these things like we collected bazooka joes? I do. I bet sales SPIKE when these things go live.
My good friend CC pointed out to me the newest trend approaching...' Hey, trade you two trach's for that iron lung.'
It will happen. watch your local Craig's List and eBay.. For Sale. Complete set of 2011 Winston Pack Graphics. Serious Offers only. Will consider trades for Riding Lawn Mower or Fishing Gear.
