Where My Daydreams Go...

I'm sitting in Starbucks last week, at about the same time as the U.S. Airways jet crashed landed in the Hudson to give you a gauge on the time, not that it matters..ANYScully, I'm at Starbucks, drinking a latte before heading to Whole Food, and there's a realty magazine sitting all by itself at a lonely table; I reach over and grab it and, as it by some magic divine home buying intervention I find this gem of a house, built at least 10 years before the Revolutionary War. It was love at first sight. I kept the magazine and keep looking at it like a chubby school girl thumbing through a model magazine. I've decided to buy it, and spend my days in Stephentown planting wild flowers along the drive and using the barn to host sexy parties and pony rides for homeless kids, though not at the same time. Only one problem, I can't afford it. Yeah, sad right? But I have a plan. I always have a plan. If each one of you contribute at least one buck, I should have enough coin to make it my own, sometime by 2020. So please, give early, give often and give fast; and make sure to send me your address, I'll put you on the invite list for a sexy party, or a pony ride.

Obama In 2013

art.obama.popphoto.jpgI found this interesting piece on presidential health and aging on CNN.com which focuses on how Obama will likely age over the next four years. I particularly like the 'after' shot of the older, more distinguished Obama. He looks like every black statesman-like movie president I've ever seen, (thank you Morgan Freeman). I remember my mom saying that no matter who she voted for, she always felt a bit sorry for the man leaving the White House because he looked so haggard, tired and spent due to all the heavy burdens on his shoulders and that his health likely took a serious beating due to the office he held. This article seems to support that. Hey mom, you were right again. Click here to read the full story.

Happy 2009, Sort Of

happy_new_year_monkey.jpg Look, my New Year monkey is wishing you a Happy 2009, and so am I. So, happy economic decline, government bailout, Barack Hussein Obama-loving, world-going-to-shit new year. Remember nary 10 years back how the biggest stuff we fretted over going into a new year was fear of a Y2K meltdown? Yeah, those were the good old days. I'm inclined to say things can only get better from here but I've learned the hard, sad way that isn't always the case. Things can ALWAYS get crappier than they are. Seriously. So, lift your hangover glass of tomato juice and Alka Seltzer to the sky, bid adieu to 2008 and let's all hope for better, bigger and brighter days to come with better jobs, more expendable cash and daily-updated blogs. Cheers!
