First Few Days of Unemployment

Well, Thursday was wierd, just hanging out playing x-box and watching T.V. On Friday I had to go downtown so I stopped by Monorail Espresso and hung out with my friends. Everyone commented on how strange it was to se me in street clothes, as opposed to my biking gear. I think that is one thing I will enjoy about not riding for work anymore: that is, not having to wear 'gear' anymore. I was never one of those guys who rode around all winter long in cotton, just to look punk-rock. But now I get to wear regular clothes.

Jessica and I are moving this month so being unemployed is actually good 'cause I can do a lot of the moving a day at a time, and I won't get bored. But I think next month may be a different story.

We're moving north to the Lake City area and this will be the first time in 13 years I will be living out of the city. I'm a little nervous about living so far out of the city because I think I'll feel cut-off. But I can ride to Greenlake and the U District is just a ride up Roosevelt Way. Plus, I'll be closer to Rick's, which may or may not be a good thing.

As you know, dear readers, I am loathe to agree with President Bush on anything; but I'm afraid that I must when it comes to our National Anthem, The Star Spangled Banner. Perhaps it is a sign that, at forty years of age, I am in fact an old curmudgeon. Perhaps my view denotes a bit of xenophobia on my part, but I cannot lie, I do not think there should be a Spanish language version of the Anthem. As far as the whole immigration issue goes, I think our borders need to be strengthened and illegals kept out. I believe it is a national security issue. I sympathize with those immigrants, both legal and illegal, who say that they are not terrorists. But if we cannot secure our borders against illegal immigrants, no matter how benign their reasons for entering this country, how can we expect that our borders are safe against those who really do mean to do us harm? Illegals and Taxes Illegal immigrants argue that they are in fact paying taxes. But those are just local sales taxes that all...
