"You may find yourself....."

"Living in a shot gun shack.. You may find yourself behind the wheel of a large automobile.. You may find yourself... with a beautiful house... with a beautiful wife... And you may say to yourself... Well, How did I get here?" ( "Once in a life time" Talking Heads)

Christ, it's another Monday and I'm so excited, Let me tell you! I really don't feel like working (what else is new?). Slacking in the USA. Maybe it's my diet that makes me this sarcastic, this jaded, this cynical, this tired. November is totally flying by, I mean it's 11/20 already! I still have to Christmas shop. I'm just going to get everybody I Tunes gift cards, even if they don't have an I Pod or a good PC. I'm just going to get them something that they don't want or need. "Here! Merry Christmas!" I'm sure they can find something to do with the card. Re-gift it maybe? Use it as a book mark, perhaps? They can use it to break into people's houses, if they aspire to living a life of crime. The problem is, people just aren't that crafty unless they have to be. People aren't forced to use every little thing they have, regardless of its intended use. Instead we can go to CVS, Home Cheapo, or any other of the countless convenience, department or all-encompassing, sell anything stores. It kinda kills the MacGyver ingenuity that Americans are famous for. Oh well! We'll just wait for the next disaster to happen and look for the man who know's how to make a life raft out of a stapler, a garbage can, a Whistle, a clothes pin and "Tickle Me Elmo" doll. "Same as it ever was....."
