Before I get started on why this town needs an enema, let me state (for the record) that Jack Nicholson as the joker is pure money. Amazing. Also, yes I think Christian Bale is a great Batman — but Michael Keaton rocked. Just saying. But I digress… this post is really about money. Real money. Real debt. Real dollars. Real Assholes. ...

So, yesterday I got my electricity bill and it was a little over 180 bucks. It’s Gainesville and hot, so I expected a decently high electricity bill. Add air conditioning with more cooking (and a bunch of hot showers) and $180 is expected. Of course, my real electricity bill is $150. There was $30 in taxes. ...

For some mistaken reason, one of my business credit cards uses Bank of America. The twitter version? My card number is used fraudulently almost 4 times/year.

[][1]Chocolate Cake with Ganache Growing up, my mom did something amazing every time the school year ended. On the last day of school, when I walked into the door, a layered cake would greet me. As most normal kids, my usual cake was a single-tiered cake with frosting on top. Special birthdays might have a two-layered cake with the thinest of thin layers of frosting separating them. But this was different. ...

My wife and her family loves Juanes. Don’t get me wrong… La Camisa Negra is one of the greatest songs ever. But, as good as you think you are… until you’ve sang on Sesame Street, you haven’t truly made it.
