Scousers, Importance and Plectrums

Is there such a thing as unnecessary knowledge? Have you ever read, seen or heard something that you wish you had not? One of the problems with knowing things is that you cannot be selective with things you already know about.

Is government a business? I do believe so.. The only business which can go against the laws of the universe. If a government were in charge of a parking lot in a big city and not many people chose to use it instead opting to ride bicycles more, the price for the few people who did use the parking lot would go up, and a law would be passed to insure that everyone was required to use it whether they want to or not, or even if they do not own a car. There was something I heard the other day which was a bad example of something like this. There is a nursing home in Worcester, that was required by the city to keep it's heating on until June 15th. I do not know if you remember the temperature a few days ago, but I do.. The gist story was that the poor seniors were camping outside. It's too bad that in many ways, governments are not like contractors.. If you don't like one, you can go to another without leaving your town, although that is usually called revolution.

I included the first two paragraphs to prove a point.. It is only people with nothing to do who like to talk about politics. It is my opinion that people like hyperboles. (Is Hyperboles a word?) Even they do not believe in them, there is something simple and wholesome about them.. For example, it is easy if you are tired and hungry after a long stressful day at the office, to blame oil companies and Bush for high gas prices, and to think of them as being the most evil people on the face of the planet.. It is also similarly easy, if for example you have been in the desert for a year living on dried grass and snake vomit, to declare a bottle of Gatorade the best thing you have ever tasted, and the person who gave it to you a saint..

Anyway, I did not have work today.. I thought I did, but I did not. This morning my car broke down on west street. It was simply a clogged air filter.. Long story short, I turned up at work an hour and a half late and inquired in the kitchen if I still had my job. It turned out that It was a mistake, and that the boss had messed up the schedule.. Still, I do hope I still have my job tomorrow. Even if I do not, I may be changing jobs soon anyway. The Cheshire Horse called me to invite me to come in for an interview. I am very confident that I can get the job, but I will see what they have to say before dwelling further. Whatever the outcome of the next week or two, I will still have a lot more cash than I had expected, as well as a new mandolin for playin tunez with. Sick ha?

C ya!
