The New Generation of Leadership

I couldn't resist this little morsel.  I am still falling over laughing.  In fact, tears are streaming down my face.

First, the Republican party rolls out their "Jihad Janes" -- Locked & Loaded Sarah Palin, Armed & Dangerous Michelle Bachmann and Second Amendment Solution Sharon Angle.  But...that was only the opening act!  You know women are never the "stars" in the Republican party, just the puppets.

Now we have the Young Guns of the Republican Party!  (Those Republicans sure do love their guns!).  Oh, and by the way, these YOUNG Guns are all nearing the age of fifty! 

Like I said, tears are streaming down my face!

 

 

Bored, Lazy & Addicted

Hmmm...wondering if my life has finally slowed down because suddenly I am finding myself bored. 

Perhaps this "lull" is meant to be a good thing and pushing me into catching up on the things that I think are fun and interesting.  Like this blog!  Or...may be I should pursue striking off some little naggy things on my wrinkled and stained "to do" list.  Perhaps, I should finally return the Netflix movies that arrived in October 2009, that I still have not watched.  Yes, tomorrow I shall send them back and cancel that account. 

After three years in the making (next month) I think I have my job search down to a science requiring less time.  I have probably managed to commoditize myself as I am pretty sure that I am fairly well known in the world of employers who aren't hiring. It would have been much more invigorating to have said after three years in the making, I have finished directing my first motion picture or I finished my five hundred page novel. 

All is not lost though...

While the saga of becoming gainfully employed continues, the landscape in which to continue my job search will be changing.  Yep, planning a strategy and looking at opportunities in Montana.  They don't know me there yet so it is completely virgin territory!  Moving there has been something I have wanted to do.  The notion though has been hurried along with my current situation of being unemployed for three years in what was once the land of opportunity here in California.  So, the house is up for sale and we are riding the emotional roller coaster of trying to sell a house where buyers are as scarce as jobs.  I just never do anything that isn't challenging.

Of course this relocation thing blows holes in all those nasty haters who seem to think that we "unemployed" are lazy, addicted and spoiled public troughers.  If you have some meat on your bones, own more than the clothes on your back, if you still have your teeth and a bicycle to ride, well then you are still among the privledged and should just stop your whining about "no jobs!"  You just aren't looking hard enough.  Trust me, I am showing restraint here because what I would really like to say is rather colorful.

But...

It's all okay.  I look forward to landing on my feet and living among the sane again.
