I Knew This Would Happen!!!

I predicted this a few weeks ago. So now I will share it with anyone who reads this dribble.

I was told on September 22 that my job was going to be removed from the budget.

Nobody whom I worked with really wanted this to happen. But it did. I had to keep it a secret from all except three people for a week, but sooner or later I had to let em know what was going on.

Anyhow, the people that did know what was going on (Email is great - using it you can keep vast numbers of people out of the loop) asked me what I was going to do. You know, in light of the whole unemployment thing.

My reply was "I'll probably become a bum".

You know - stay up late, drink more beer, sleep SUPER late, watch a lot of Science Channel, National Geographic Channel, Cartoon Network, and Spike Network, and so on.

So here it is. My last day of work was Sunday, October 1 2006. And here I am, just over ONE WEEK after being removed from the budget....

And I am a total bum. I have reverted to where I was a little over a year ago. I stay up to un-godly hours of the morning. Waking up before 1 PM is simply not going to happen. I have less energy and less motivation to do anything than I used to have when I had a job.

As predicted, I have turned into a total BUM! I am too lazy to apply for unemployment benefits. I think about it - but then I figure "why bother". Why bother to do anything. Really.

So maybe I am depressed. But then again - I do not FEEL depressed! I just feel like.....well....BLAH. Like nothing.

So here it is. 2:45 AM. Right now. I am not really sleepy, I did not wake up till almost 3 PM. And I can sleep to whenever "tomorrow". And by "tomorrow" I mean whenever the hell I decide to wake up. That could be as late as 5 PM. Who knows.

So yea, I am a bum again. I might as well start drinking Mad Dog 20/20.

The sooner I become employed again the better. Nothing good can become of the current situation. I am going to become a bigger and bigger bum till I have to move into the downtown Miami I-95 overpass.

Anyone care to donate a refrigerator box? I might need one.

But I shall not despair! At least not yet.

For I AM the Phoenix. I am the Thunderbird. I am the stuff of Navajo legend. I can be a bum for now - for "now" is not important. Ye all shall see!

By the way, I will be in Orlando the first weekend of November. I am going to the "food and wine" festival at Disney World. I shall be drunk as all hell on Saturday. People with kids will be looking at me and my friend and saying "crap! Look at those two! I wish we could be doing that!" - but they will not be able to. Having kids is a bitch.

If you care to join me, feel free to do so. Just be in Epcot Center on Saturday, November 4 2006. Go to the World Showcase. Look for a drunk dude, walking in a zig-zag pattern with a girl. More than likely that dude is going to be me. Say "YO LAZY!" If the drunk dude stops and looks back with a "what the fuck?!?!" look then it is me. Come join in the fun! There shall be much merry making! And much alcohol consumption. I may very well puke.

It will be legendary! Be there or be SQUARE!!!!!!!!
