I know it is a faux paux to write back to back entries...but its the day after Valentine's Day, so back off. What a lame holiday. So lame, that I am willing to break it down for you.
1. If I don't get off work for it, then is it really a holiday? If Ingles doesn't close for it, then I don't consider it real.
2. What does Valentine even mean? I don't think it is a real word. I bet if I looked it up in the dictionary I couldn't find it. But even if I did, it still would be one of those words that just made it by accident.
3. Chocolate and flowers? I don't need that. Give me something useful, like rent money or wine. Or one of those cadbury bunny eggs.
4. Stupid poems. Roses are red, violets are blue. Well actually, violets are...violet, you know, the color purple. And even roses are black after they die, I mean really.
5. Children are encouraged to give valentines to everyone in their class. Oh this sounds like a great idea. Little Johnny, you remember your friend James? Why don't you give him this valentine that says 'Be Mine' and while you are at, give every girl in your class the 'You are super way cute' valentine. Case in point as to why the gay population has risen as high as it has in year 2008, and why Hugh Heffner is active at his old age.
6. Hugs and kisses. XOXO. What does that even mean? Seems like a come on to me, and I am just not interested.

*Just recently the federal government passed a bill that will allow everyone who files a tax refund, receive an additional $600 per person, and $300 per child. The goal is to stimulate the economy, encouraging consumers to spend more. Here is what I will do with every penny of my $600:
I will save it. That’s right, every penny. I think it was Ghandi that said ‘True Love Waits.’ And I love money. So, in effect, ‘True Money Waits.’
*A huge issue that almost all Americans have yet to mention in the 2008 Presidential Primary races also reverts back to money. Which candidate would look the best on a coin or bill? Who cares about issues that will only last for a year or two, money lasts forever. So to me, it is easy, I would love to see John McCain on a coin. Why? Because it is marketable. One McRib for 5 McCain’s. Makes almost too much sense.
*Buncombe County schools were given a gift of over $2 million dollars last week by an anonymous donor to be divvied up among the county’s high schools. Many ask what the schools will do with the money. I ask – who gave the sum? My guess is McCauley Caulkin. He has ties to the area from his role in the locally filmed ‘Richie Rich’, and according to the Internet did attend school growing up.
*A fun little story – this week a Raleigh woman was rewarded the cost of one breast implant, when it was found by a state court that her implants were covered under workers compensation. I think this explains why there seemed to be some sort of celebration going on at Bedtyme Stories last night.
*It was reported this week that Asheville may face a $1.3 million deficit for the coming fiscal year. How did this exactly happen? My guess, which is usually right, is that not as many people come to the Biltmore House anymore. Think about it, all of the kids who saw it on a field trip when they were younger are adults now and have other things to do.
*Lastly, a happy note, as Mountain Bank reported record earnings in 2007. You have to think that most people that use Mountain Bank, envision their money being stored away in a safe inside of a mountain, thousands of feet above sea level, which is the same reason why many Americans drink Coors Light. Maybe I will put my $600 tax refund in Mountain Bank.
