this guy is probably a total douche, but i'm digging this first song off his solo album.

i didn't pass the audit section of the cpa test. am i bummed? yes. but, i know i can do it. i have confidence and faith in myself. the worst part is that it was probably one of the easiest sections. it's only going to get harder. that is daunting. but if you ask out 100 women, two will say yes and one will be easy. that's the approach i have to take. i'll keep taking the exam and keep studying and eventually, i'll pass.

all four sections.

eventually.

jeeze.

my city was gone

i just made out big time on a used cd website. i bought six albums and used a promotional code to save $13.00. ultimately, i got six albums for next to nothing. they are:

the pretenders- learning how to crawl
lou reed- coney island baby
elvis costello- armed forces
talking heads- talking heads '77
marshall crenshaw- marshall crenshaw
paul mccartney- band on the run

this is a great day in america.

reality sucks. the reality of cheeseburgers and football and beer is great. but the reality of this economy sucks. you might notice the dow jones ticking up every day and say, "well there's some good news." but really? step back. no, really. get up and step back. now, ask yourself: what is this good news based on? why is the dow jones going up? do you in your everyday life see anything changing?

i do. i see more houses for sale. i see more foreclosures. i see more empty commercial real estate. and i hear about more people i know losing their jobs. is that what drives up the dow jones? evidently.

most people out there believe it's going to get worse.

the china-america relationship is more like a booty-call relationship to me.
