Man! Your Drunk Tests Are Hard!

Jeez!
I have finally found another reason for a blog post...
Seems sometimes you just have to scream really loud, and when that happens, where better?

I guess that seems as good a reason as any.

I wouldn't have thought that I'd ever be the guy for this, but it looks like I have to actually say goodbye to my chosen home for a while, and it is KILLING me. Absolutely NONE of my friends are actually committed "New Yorkers" like myself, and I just learned that the only one I was sure of intends to one day return to his Ohio home...

Well, I'm sorry. I can't do it. I'm a New Yorker now and I can't seem to change that.
I love this town, and I love my (albeit small) part of it. But so many factors about my life and my work and my city are conspiring to make it unaffordable.

Really, the solution to ALL of my problems is: Make More Money.

And the solution to that is, of course, Find a DIFFERENT Job. (thank you, Chris Eliopoulis!)

Well, that's all good and fine, and I suppose it's time to do that, but MAKING AND SPENDING $3000/month in the interim just ain't gonna happen. Especially not with the way people are just NOT PAYING right now...

So it's goodbye, NYC, with all of your tantalizing treats and wealthy little girls and boys.
I'll be back, of course, and I'll probably be out for blood, but for now, it's time to go offend somewhere else with my New York City Pottymouth.

(If Not You, Who Then?)

Is there really such a need for this kind of thing that people will go out of their way to type up this stuff from all over the world?
And will it change the publishing world as we know it?

I've just returned from 40mins of reading some of the most worthless and uninformative crap I've ever seen on the internet, and I honestly can't see how this will do more than provide an excercise for the writer.

And perhaps that is the point?

There is actually a guy in Denver that wakes up and describes to any potential readers the kind of crusty boogers he finds each morning. Yup.

And the new macbooks are now advertised as "blogging machines".

Yup.

Now I suppose that one could use this possible search-engine world for something positive, but it's unlikely that it can ever really do more than the get potential writers to punch up their chops or gather their own set of potential stalkers.

Yum!
