Running just to catch myself

I am certain that May is the fastest month; the other 11 never seem to get away from me as quickly.

About four years ago, I had an idea to open a lounge-type establishment that would give students and community members in this town a place to enjoy live entertainment and eat good food without having to pay $40 at a restaurant or travel four hours south. Now, years later, I have partnered up with two other brilliant friends of mine and I am closer than ever to opening that lounge! Details to unravel in time, but for now we have determined location, name, menu, entertainment and break-even and profit points. The goal is to be open the first or second week in September - the fourth or eleventh. Most of all, it means I could be living in Rexburg longer than I ever imagined or desired, but what do you do?

Salena is moving right along in school and loving it. She will be done in January-ish (January is wishful thinking, the ish was added for a better sense of reality). Work is still there, despite all protest.

All is well, and thus concludes the month of May.

Slammed by a Blogger

Perez Hilton was on GMA this morning and said he wished that Miss California would have had an answer that would have been more general. Matt Lower said, "then wouldn't she be pandering to everyone?" Hilton responded no, but he thought she should have an answer that would please everyone.

Cause that's not pandering.

This guy is a small, juvenile person is scoring some cheap points because he doesn't agree with a beauty queen, who by the way stood up for her values, something that is more American than judging values. Last time I checked, America was based upon the freedom of ideas; the opportunity to express our opinion without being mocked or demeaned.

Miss California stood up for what she believed in, regardless of what this fraction of a man, or anyone else wants to hear. She should be honored, not mocked. As for the bumbling idiot, who had to resort to name calling and expletives when defending his position (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/21/miss-california-i-pray-fo_n_189430.html), send him back to his self-gratifying, time wasting, worthless celebrity watching; I am sure it's the only thing someone with his brain power is good at.

Is this Days of our Lives?

Italians are pioneering new treatment for coma patients. The concept is doctors bring in beautiful Italian women wearing next to nothing and have them move sensuously around patients in a last-ditch attempt to awaken them.

Interesting. what sort of success rate do they have?

Funny you should ask.

For males, the success rate is reportedly 98 percent. It has even worked on a few dead guys.

I just think that men have a stronger will to keep on living. And the other 2 percent were probablly gay.

Freedom to get a new job...

The Idaho House voted 48-21 yesterday to allow pharmacists—but not pharmacist technicians or other staff members—to refuse to dispense prescribed medication based on religious or moral objections, despite arguments that said the law would have major unintended consequences for the elderly and for employers. The law is called the 'Freedom of conscience' act.

All rational and logical arguments aside, I think there is a point to be made that no one has brought up yet; why was this not presented to you in school? Do pharmacists go to four years of undergrad schooling and then on to pharmaceutical school without ever thinking that there might be drugs out there that they might not agree with? I really like the atmosphere of a sophisticated bar and have every needed skill to be the most popular bartender in town. One issue; I don't drink - never have. I think alcohol is addictive and dangerous. I determined that this slight conflict of interest would deter my effectiveness as a bartender and moved on to another career.

Pharmacists distribute drugs prescribed to medical patients. They have an obligation to withhold any drugs that I may abuse or in anyway endanger my health. But no one should be endowed with power as my personal medical guardian unless I permit it to happen.

Besides, doesn't this world have enough problems without pharmacists withholding birth control medication because they think the couple should be married first. Then what? Withhold their prenatal drugs because they didn't listen to you?

Go play God in somebody else's Walgreens.

10 pages down...

This summer I had an idea for a TV show that I thought would make a killer story. I have written about 10 pages of the pilot script and I am still not sure exactly what the story is.

This crap is hard.

24 hours in Boise

Took a weekend jaunt up to Boise Sunday morning for the wife's Hairstyling show (I am almost sure this is where people get together and show off, but I am not sure) - and after going to a random church I explored the State's capitol city for most of the day. Both outsiders and Idaho residents be shocked when I tell you; I actually enjoyed this city. Who knew.

Textual Healing

I have made a new commitment to attempt real communication with my friends and family instead of Seven word statements that usually end up mispelled and misunderstood.

And this has nothing to do with the last wireless bill I got...
