Random Thoughts

I have a lot of very random thoughts.  So here goes:

1. I will donate all of the money I don't have if Donald Trump runs for President of this country.  I follow him on Twitter and he is the most self absorbed human being out there.  Hey, it works for him.  But to hear him call every opponent a "loser" over and over again would be great.  The comedy in his running (and I'm not saying he doesn't have a shot.  He could do well) would be priceless.  I could see him running on the idea of offending every other country and outlawing Rosie O'Donnell.  I believe he called her a "pig".  He also referred to Mitt Romney (the guy who hasn't filed for bankruptcy on four occasions) a "small business owner".  This guy is an American treasure and I can't think of a better way for us to regain the respect of the rest of the world than by insulting their intelligence and trying to screw them over.

TRUMP 2016!!!!!!

2. I bought a ticket to see the Gaslight Anthem in Lancaster, PA.  That's dedication.

3. Ten years ago I had my first day of work in a "real job". Wow.

4. This whole being unemployed thing is the pits.  Part of me wants to get a part-time job just for the hell of it. I hear fast food workers might be getting $15/hr soon.

5. I have been trying to think when I have been happiest in my adult life.  It is an interesting question and the answer seems to be when I had the most to do, be it professionally or personally.

6. I do a lot of my writing/job hunting/coffee consumption at this bakery that cooks meat for a BBQ place.  I leave smelling like brisket.  It is odd.  The smell of coffee is competing with BBQ.  Alone they are wonderful scents.  ALONE.

7. Boy do I want to go golfing.

8. It snowed for about 30 seconds yesterday.....not that it's late April or anything.

9. I couldn't imagine growing up today.  EVERYTHING YOU DO IS RECORDED.  Jeez, how many stupid things did any of us do when we were young that we are, let's just say grateful, that 19 people around us did have a camera phone.  Or for that matter I am glad there wasn't a twitter or Facebook where I could post dumb adolescent things was I was 15 and my hormones were all over the place.  I truly feel bad for kids growing up today.

10. I heard somebody say that we don't get our brains delivered to us until we are 35.  I thought that was an interesting take on how much we learn through life and how much of it is experience.

11. For some reason I'm just not as excited about baseball as I used to be.  Maybe once it gets warm.

12. Somedays I want a Golden Retriever puppy.  Those are days that end in "y".

13. Mad Men has been disappointing.  I get it. Don is sad and alone.  That point has been drilled home. Let's keep this story moving.

14. Same for Game of Thrones.  Less Dragon Lady.  Her story arc has been the achilles of the show.  We get it.  She can't rule. Let's kill her off and move on.

15. Writing for TV is tough.  Very, very tough.

What Is the World Coming To?

I have been working on a huge project at work.  I could tell you about it, but I will wait until the ink is on the page before doing so. My point here is that I have been able to be creative with how I plan a huge event.  Rather satisfying to create a concept and work it through.   You know, better than cubicle living. I hung out at an ad agency last night.  I wish my company had beer taps, free food, a pool table, and bean bag chairs.  No really......that was amazing.  Was also able to have an hour long strategy session around my event - while drinking free beer.  Yeah, so that didn't suck.  At all.  In the least.  In any capacity.  Whatsoever.  I may ask if they need an intern. Bought tickets to a Brian Fallon concert.  He is the lead singer for The Gaslight Anthem.  It is in the middle of New Jersey.  I have no clue how I will get there, but I will manage.  I mean, how tough could it possibly be? ...

The Trump vs. Clinton Dilemma

The Trump vs. Clinton Dilemma is an American Dilemma I have always been into politics.  The board game "Hail to the Chief" was my favorite growing up.  (At the age of 11 I could name all 50 state capitals.  Today.....Hold on, let me try.  Tell you in a second......43.  Respectable, but an exercise that led me to kick myself over forgetting the capital of New Hampshire.)  I love political dramas like House of Cards and The West Wing (another reason I should have known the capital of NH).  When I was in college I majored in Political Science and nearly went to 50% of my classes.  On Sunday mornings I tend to watch Meet the Press. You get the picture I am painting here.  I enjoy politics. And I'll even tell you my political views.  I am a fiscal conservative and liberal on most social policies.  Our tax code is completely broken.  Immigration is a problem that can be fixed with cooperation and better border enforcement/let's ...

Save the Pandas

Let's get this out in the open.  I love Pandas.  They sit around all day eating bamboo, climbing trees, rolling around........pretty much enjoying life.  I dig that.  If everyone in this world were more like a panda it would be a friendlier, fuzzier place.  But alas, we humans do not resemble the Giant Panda.  Therefore, perhaps, we need Giant Pandas to remind us of how simple life can be.   (OK, I'm only speaking for myself here, but Pandas are simply a cool animal that I enjoy going to the zoo and watching for an hour - or however long they let me stand at the Panda reserve) So that is why this news report is so very upsetting to me: http://rockcenter.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/21/16964074-are-giant-pandas-worth-saving?lite&ocid=msnhp&pos=1 The idea that we need to be putting fewer resources into the preservation of the panda species.   I have some arguments here: 1. What would you rather save?  A lizard?  Liz...
