Michelangelo sibyl from the Sistine Chapel

 

all systems fail

So here I go again. After two less than insightful entries, I am making an attempt to be more coherent this time around. On the other hand, I almost need a day or two of wallowing to motivate me. Somehow I almost believe that a small amount of whining isn't that bad of thing to let happpen every so often.

A mp3 of Jailbreak by Thin Lizzy fills my head as I type these words and I have to smirk. Somewhere I remember reading a description that called them Ireland's biggest musical export until U2, but I could be wrong. Personally I think that the song makes for some great weightlifting music with its faux posturing. Of course I would have to add some Metallica and Iron Maiden in there to make it the true loser mix tape.

Part of me is still upset that Disney sanitized The Boys Are Back In Town for that animated film that I refuse to name. How dare they take a perfectly good white trash song and make it the theme song for a children's movie. Disney is evil, but the American public doesn't realize it.

Gotta get me a double wide and settle down. The sad part is that years ago I knew someone who did live in a trailer park. It was the classic American story where boy gets girl pregnant before they finish high school. They get married, her parents buy them a trailer and the divorce happens a few short years later.

Of course all of that sounds very harsh, but they were young and people do make mistakes. After the divorce he turned things around and as far as I know did a good job of raising his son. From what I remember he got custody and not the mother. Without a doubt he was the more responsible of the two of them.

Two current ad campaigns that I love include the pets.com and the monster.com series.

"I'll give you three dollars."

"When I grow up I want to be forced into early retirement."

Four in the afternoon and I should go to sleep, because I have to work tonight. I'll write more later.

Boredom often breeds sarcasm or at least it does for me. The strange part is that I have an extended weekend coming where I can piece things together and try to improve my general outlook on things. Soon I'll have days to just sit and ponder or hopefully just have pure fun.

One would think that after having put college behind me close to seven years ago, I would get used to the fact that the business world thrives on routine. From my perspective jobs cater to married people raising families who don't need any further stress in their lives and want things to run as smoothly as possible. Then again maybe I am in the wrong profession.

Of course all of this is a familiar lament of mine and I sure that I'll adjust as I always do.
