The tone of the news in this country has changed. I can barely watch the local news. Somebody’s laying off 1200 workers, this company is closing it’s doors and this family has fallen on hard times. I’m living it on the front lines and watching some stuffed suit talk about it just pisses me...

But in his heart he knows what it brings
No pedigree from France will get you in the dance
I’ve been working like a dog. I think I mentioned the only day I took off this month was last Saturday. I’m aiming for Sunday since tomorrow is already booked up. My house is starting to look like one of our listings. I must get it cleaned. I’ve got three or four BPO’s to...

Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler
I don’t know that I agree with the mortgage element of the ARRA or not. Here’s a nice simplified article talking about it’s components. My problem is two fold. One, a lot of these people made their own bed. You make a bad business decision don’t expect the government to bail your stupid ass...

No shoes, no shirt, no dice
There’s always something, even when I’ve got nothing. Today, we’ve got a best person in the world. I’m a big fan of this guy. He sat a couple of rows in front of me (and really only a couple) at a Rolling Stones show about 5 or so years ago. I said to my...

We’ve got a long way to go and a short time to get there
Yesterday took a little different turn than expected. I was supposed to show property. The client wasn’t as nailed down as I thought they were. I should have called them the day before but truth be told I was hoping they would reschedule. You see, as of yesterday morning I hadn’t had a day...

Treasure these few words ’til we’re together
That was kind of a no brainer. Last night was Dark and Delicious an event put on the PS I Love you, the Petite Sirah advocacy organization. I received a ticket via Luscious Lush, via Sonodora, the Wannabe Wino. Thanks gals! I love Petite Sirah. Let’s just get that out of the way. LOVE...

Skeletons and all the bones in your closet
Warning: Today’s post features graphic depictions and photojournalism of the death of a small furry creature, or a rodent, depending on your perspective. As many of you know, we live here on a larger suburban property. You don’t usually get 1/4 acre in the city limits in California but I have one. The house...

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I watch about 20 minutes worth of local news in the morning. I can’t believe the content right now. All gloom and doom. For the love of God you guys there has to be some thing nice to report out there. Surely someone survived something or someone achieved something amazing. I wonder...

A small stain on the pavement, they’ll scrub it off the ground
This guy’s youtube channel was tossed out on Twitter for comment last night. My comment? This is my life. Actually, that house is cleaned up. My life looks more like this and this. I haven’t gotten a poop house yet, or a flea house, but I know it’s coming. I am the...

A small stain on the pavement, They’ll scrub it off the ground
Yesterday might have been one of the most annoying days I’ve had in a long time. Business stuff. I’m not one of those chatty sales types. I tell you the information you need to know. If I tell it to you repeatedly, I’m probably concerned and think it’s important. I’m smart. Listen to me...
