I'm surprised I havnen't been hit by spit yet!

Yes, I saw again, twic in fact. People in this city constantly spitting. New Yorkers and spit seem to go together like bad coffee and a dirty deli in this town. Now, I know sometimes you have to spit, but honestly. I'm not talking about people who go against a building or up to a gutter, I'm talking about people spitting left and right, across side walks, into traffic, right in front of people! Jesus Christ, keep your nasty fucking germs in your fucking mouth for Christ's sake. And let's not even begin talking about the "snot rocket." I'm still not over the woman who turned around in front of me, put her hand to her nose, and just blew. I watched in amazment as glops of snot flew into my path. Fuck me! New York sophistication at it's best.

No JOB Blues

I recently got laid off from work, about three weeks ago, and I must say there is nothing more degrading that could happen to a person. It is one thing to quit, walk out, or even get fired. If you get fired you generally fucked up some how and you can't really blame yourself. But when you get laid off there is a series of events that go with it. First, you feel as if you aren't good enough, afterall, some people got to stay, why not me? Why wasn't I good enough? Also, everyone at the office looks at you are a stranger those last couple days. They are happy they got to keep their job, but shit, they can't really show it, that would be just rude; so instead they mope around and be extra nice, flashing you that "everything will be okay" smile. And finally, there's nothing worse than that trip home on the subway with a box full of your office belongings. It's like a break up. You made friends and relationships, you worked hard and had your own desk real estate, and now, it is all down to a box on the train that everyone can see, oh, any they know what's going on.

The future looks grim. Let's not toy around here. Stocks are down, people are losing money, outsourcing, and all of that shit. And if that's not enough, a new report came out that tells of college students graduating with record numbers of debt, starting like off in a touch work environment with practically a morgage over their heads, except they have no house to live in here, they have to pay rent and bills also. So much are gone the days when you graduated and quit living like college student, instead you are left with bebt and maybe you can quit living like a college student when you're 40.

So where's the high note? Where's the positive spin on this story? Where's the fucking American Dream to give us hope in this down and out economy? Well, don't look at me, I'm asking you. All I can say is sleeping in really is nice.

American Marriage, a joke all around!

We talked about this on our new news show "Coffee Break." The gay marriage ban failed to pass in our governement. Obviously this is good. But it still doesn't take care of the problem. And what problem is that? The fact that most Americans think that gay marriage is going to ruin the country. Well that's simple bullshit. Straight couples have already managed to shread marriage to pieces. While there is a large group of Americans thinking that gays are going to take the concept of marriage and trash it, they are ignoring what they have done. Quite simply divorce sums it all up. Most of marriages fail and they end in divorce. Marriages by straight couples are treated like dating these days. You get married, pop some kids out, and then get divorced. If that's not the cast they just get married on the spot. They run off to Vegas. They get married for all the wrong reasons. Some get married for money, for comfort, or just because they don't want to be loney. Gays haven't done this, striaght people have. So before Americans run screamed the that marriage is about to go to hell they should clean it up before the gays even have a chance to get to it. At least with gay marriages there wouldn't be kids being screwed over between Dad's House and Mom's house, and Dad's new wife, trying to be mom. Quite frankly all marriage should be outlawed until anyone can deal with it. But if you're going to have marriage you might as well allow the gays to have chance at misery, attorney fees, divorce, child support, and alamony.
