Why It Sucks To Be Me
Posted by TFG on March 13th, 2008
Becuase, this is a classic TFG evening. I worked like a dog, from say, 7ish am, till 4ish pm, then I went to have a beer, got involved with a ridiculous literary discussion with a guy, got involved with a political discussion with a guy and a gal, wrote down three hundred to-dos on a bar napkin which now rests before me, and I’ve got a poker tournament to play in, as well as all the damn blogs I like to read, that is to say, I enjoy reading, and I’ve had nothing but sweet booze down my spout since 1ish, and I’m not terribly hungry, but I know I will be around midnight. Plus, two tons of movies sitting in the queue that I could be relaxing over, instead of sitting here typing this and folding. And I really need to go see this guy in the morning to get a low-down on a situation that I might be able to profit from.
I know my father and grandfather didn’t deal with this kind of thing. Why must I? I’m far less equipped to do so than either one of those guys were.
Ach…shoulder to the wheel and nose to the grindstone.

Dammit, FG - sounds wonderful to me. Face it, dude. We both, we all of us, have pretty much had the best of all lives handed to us on a platter. I’d love to be able to say we did as good as our forefathers did. Come to think of it, I believe I will, whether we did, or not.

It is wonderful. I was just moaning about never remembering to eat until midnight.

Like I said earlier, it beats the alternative.
OT, I hear the government is going to bail out the investment bankers at Bear Stearns. Do people realize just how obscene that is on so many levels?

Hell, no, they don’t know. They think that’s what the government is there for.
Is this some kind of cycle? I seem to remember another bailout. At least Chrysler made stuff and employed a gajillion Americans. Bear Stearns is just a moneychanger, shifting bits back and forth. Cocksuckers.
