The personals never sounded so good

Craigslist is probably one of the most useful tools on the internet. I found my last two abodes on CL. Sure there’s been a murder or two but other than that you can make out like gang busters on there. Other than all of the useful sections, I think my favorite section is the personals section. Forget eHarmony and Match, CL is the way to go. So let’s go from blue links to purple ones as we peruse the CL world of love (or strictly platonic friendship).

1) Why are you yelling? Is the perfect female deaf? You forgot to include “MUST BE hard of HEARING” in your description.
2) I’AM? What language is this from? There’s I’m and then there’s I am.
3) {wateva u like} Why is this in parenthesis? You had a solid flow with that sentence but all of a sudden you started to write the script for a play and you decided to add: just looking for somebody to talk to on regular & cuddle wit or just (aside, edge of stage, lights dim) wateva u like.

This is probably what our friend looks like:

The setting of summer and the rising of fall (Part 1)

Yesterday marked the first official day of my favorite season. Football, TV shows, and the days of spending way too much time making an awesome costume for Halloween are back. Soon we’ll start exchanging green (not money) for orange, yellow, and brown. Time to trade in your hipster t-shirts and summer dresses for sweaters. Thanksgiving’s delicious smells lurk around the corner with St. Nick’s jolly ass ho-ho-hoing just a few steps behind. Hold your main squeeze close or find a squeeze to warm up next to (or a few).

I want to take some time and reflect on summer, though. Pay it a little homage. Most, if not all, of us haven’t had a serious summer break in years. No one ever sang, “woooooorks out forrrr SUMMER.” There’s something that’s etched into all of us from kindergarten pushing us to do more in the summer. Personally, I had a great summer. It had some major ups and downs but overall, it was a summer I’ll never forget. So raise your glass of Oktoberfest and pour out a little for our friend Summer Ale.

Let’s take a step back and look at this past summer both personally and on a broad scale.
June 21st. First day of summer.

I had just been given notice of my layoff. You wanna know what checked out is? Try being given a layoff notice a month before your last day. “I can do this tomorrow.” Working at a non-profit, I knew the risk. I was just trying to save the world one immigrant at a time. In the end, an ESL non-profit by the name Hogar (home in Spanish) fired it’s only Hispanic, male employee. Yikes. Thankfully, I had some solid support. I can honestly say that without my girlfriend pushing me, I would’ve been sunk. Some words of confidence really go a long way. Within a few weeks a got a new job. I’m working for the man but the man is taking care of me. Obama is doing some good things in the Casa Blanca.

For all of those Obama haters I want you to take a moment and think about the surplus/deficit reduction that Clinton left us with. In the next eight years it was pissed away by this guy:

The U.S. gave Bush eight years to make a joke out of it. Obama has been in office for nine months and has already been called a failure. Cut the Prez some slack, or at least give him eight years before you chant ,“na na naaaa na, na na naaaa na, hey hey hey, goodbye,” like we all did while Bush flew away on his helicopter at Inauguration.
