• Damn, I usually don’t complain too much about work, but we just have been so overwhelmingly busy lately that I feel like I’m in dire need of a well earned vacation. I want to go somewhere and just relax and have massages and just lay around and do nothing. I haven’t have a vacation like that in a long time. Actually, come to think if it, I have only had one of those vacations and that was when I went to Puerto Vallerta back in 1999. I say its high time that I take another vacation, but I just need to find somebody to go with. 

  I know a lot of Sox fans like to rip on the Cubs for the whole “have a celebrity sing take me out to the ballgame” tradition that was started after Harry Carry died, and I have to agree with Sox fans, to an extent. But, here is a perfect argument for and against the singing of the 7th inning stretch: Ozzy Osbourne. Once again, YouTube comes through, take a look:

  On one hand, he is a complete and utter embarrassing disaster. On the other hand, just try and tell me that this isn’t funny as hell. I don’t think there is a bigger or better example as to why you shouldn’t do drugs. Its amazing that he didn’t fall out of the booth.

  I have been reading a text book for a class I’m taking for work and I tell you, there is nothing more boring. Ever read something and not pay attention the whole time you are reading it because it is just so boring? I guess that question is better left un-asked, because after all you are reading this blog. But anywho, I sometimes have to go back and read pages a second time because I get down to the bottom and say “what the fuck did I just read?”. And then there are practice questions at the end of each chapter, as one my expect, I totally bomb those. I’ll tell you, it will be nothing short of a small miracle if I pass this damn class. I’m thinking about just taking the practice quiz now and studying all the right answers instead of wasting my time and boring myself to tears reading the actual material. I know skipping it all is easy way out, but honestly, I don’t feel I’m learning a damn thing and am definitely not retaining any of the information I read. Its too bad I couldn’t find a way to get the answers to the test, it would be easier for me. Shit, I would pay money for it. See, I think that should be an option, purchasing the answers, I mean, why not? When you are talking about school or classes after you get out of high school, employers don’t really give a shit if you learned the stuff, just as long as you have a degree or something to show that you took and passed the class. So I say the people with the money to buy the answers should be able to. Its a win-win situation for everybody. The student gets to pass the class. The company or school gets to make more money and turn a bigger profit and that is the bottom line, right? Sure, this is not fair to the people that take the class but don’t have money to buy the answers. But, it all evens out, because those are the people that work their ass off to pass and they are the ones that really know the shit and get promoted faster. Ok, I should just stop now because clearly, I’m talking right out of my ass.
