Ho-Hum
I will have to say that being unemployed was pretty cool for the first couple of months, and now it’s starting to become a drag. Since I got back from my monthlong road trip, it doesn’t seem like a lot has changed, except the landlord finally sent the plumber by to fix the leak in my kitchen sink and I now have excellent water pressure in the tap.
I find myself falling back into the same routine as I did before, except you can substitute Halo 2 for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The thing is, there’s only so much video gaming, news reading, and TV watching that one can do. My friend Joey asked if I had resorted to watching the court shows, but I have not.
I feel like I’m in purgatory - I’ve got a few things on the burner, and other things are slated to kick off in January, but I’m just trying to kill off the rest of the year. Exception: I am greatly looking forward to seeing my parents next week, and I’ve been glad to hang with the fools here, even though it may not seem like it. I am a firm believer that at the end of the day, family and friends are what count the most. Awww.
By the way, on my trip, the cheapest gas was in Amarillo, Texas ($1.63/gallon). The most expensive was Blythe, California ($2.39/gallon).

Don’t worry Mike. As long as there is electricity and a working TV…I am here for you.
$1.83 at Gilroy Costco and I thought that was awsome.
You said you are looking forward to see your family in vegas next week….do you mean all the girls that you help put thru college?
I hear ya, when I was in purgatory…er um… unemployed, it sucked for me too. I Hated it. But, like my best friend said, nothing is permanent. Then you値l be like me, wishing I had done more with my time off. Besides, feel blessed with the days you have ahead of you, and the people who love you. In the meantime, stay away from those TV Court shows…it isn’t pretty. (Stupid Judge Hatchet)
