Dear XXXX: My current relationship really has the opportunity to grow into something significant. Problem: I am not economically stable enough, or even professionally compatible with my girlfriend. In both cases she far surpasses me. It’s made me feel as if this relationship has an alarm clock that will go off, and then it will all be over. How does one not focus on these issues in a metropolitan, career-oriented city such as D.C.?

Dear Anonymous:
So you like this woman, but feel inadequate financially. It seems to me you have a choice to make. It has a couple of answers, so you are going to need to be honest with yourself and honest with her.

I woke up this morning, which is better than the alternative, and remembered a weird dream. Sure, you’ve had those dreams before, but when you still remember it 2 hours later, it’s a goodie. I still remember parts of a dream I had after returning from a High School Jazz Festival in Florida in the late 80’s. I need to write this down as parts are fading, fast.
Anyway, I was some sort of secret, undercover guy. The scene opened at night time. I had a storefront to complete my image of whatever it was that I was pretending to do to be legit. The next morning, the storefront would be vacant, just as it was three days ago, with a big black and yellow “For Lease” sign in the window. I walked over to the place where I would be waiting for some guy. He was the type of guy who people were starting to believe didn’t exist. Anytime reporters or the public would call, he was out of the office. You would end up with a message from him on your answering machine, but no one ever spoke to him, directly or over the phone.

As the fifteen or so “regular visitors” to the site have noticed, I have a new layout for the site. I was getting tired of the orange, and thought I’d switch to a cleaner template. Hopefully it will make for an increase in return visitors. I certainly enjoy it more.
The homework assignment for October is to read Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World. Come November, we’ll discuss how the hippies of today used Brave New World
to shape their views of the way the world should be run. Every couple of years I think it’s important to re-read this and other works like it that show a Utopian future, remembering that they were written as satire or warnings. By the way, watching the movie does not count for our purposes.
Anyway, read, read, read, and we’ll discuss in November, while finding time to work on your National Novel Writing Month Novel and work and sleep and everything else that you usually do. After all, what’s an extra 1,700 words each and every day?

Back in the late 80’s, things sucked. The music sucked, the movies sucked, and the entertainment/”things to do” sucked. Just to add to the suckiness, some dumbass decided to make a big “people maze” in the city of Vacaville. That was a problem to begin with, because we already called it “cow town.” No reason to go there, and now they have this people maze. With no cheese at the end.
I had the magical ability to avoid the people-maze for a whole year. Then, after I fell off a telephone pole, and I’m hobbling around on crutches, a guy I know calls me up and says, “Let’s go to the Wooz!”
So we went. Whoopie. We probably had more fun than we were supposed to. Especially since there were two ways you could do it. You could just run from start to finish, or go from start to finish by way of four towers. In each tower you got a stamp, and completion of the maze with four stamps earned you entry into “Super Wooz” or whatever it was called. Needless to say, I did not complete the maze on crutches in the alloted time, but the were going to let me go on anyway. Something about extra time because I was crippled.
However, it was summer, probably around 114 degrees, no shade, and I was on crutches. I passed, said “probably next time,” and it burned down and now I’m here writing about it and you’re reading about it. It was such a memorable place that Blog it Out Your Pie Hole is more fun than the Wooz.
So whoever it was who decided to make “The Wooz,” Blow it out your PIE HOLE!

So I had this item on eBay. Didn’t sell, so I ran the listing again. Still didn’t sell. Make me an offer and it could be yours. It’s unused. It’s out of the box. Some piehole purchased the wrong adapter. I posted it for $14.99 with shipping costs (USPS) estimated at $6.34. It will be in the same box that the vendor shipped to me, in the same packing materials. I’ll actually throw some more packing in there, as the piece of bubble wrap fell into the hands of a 4-year old. First person to use the contact form below with an acceptable offer gets it.
An unused AC Power adapter for your Dymo LabelMANAGER 100, 200, 300, LabelPOINT 200, 300, DYMO 1000, 1000 Plus, 2000, 3500, 4000, 4500, or 5500.This came direct, sealed in the box new from a vendor. We opened it, and found that someone ordered the wrong adapter. This has not been used. Except for the open box, this is exactly the way it arrived, including the box and packing materials in which it came from the vendor. If you get this direct from Dymo.com, you will pay $24.95, plus $6.75 or more shipping and tax. I opened the box, you save $10. Use this, save battery money. Once this sells, I can get the correct adapter for my Dymo. It’s a WIN-WIN for both of us. Buy it now.
As I cannot test it, this item is sold AS IS.

So I saw this story today: Attempt to Rewrite Law Allowing Toddlers to Marry With Parental Consent Fails. Right now, in Arkansas, anyone can get married. If they’re under 18 and have parental consent, they may get married. 16 year olds, 15 year olds, even babies.
Great. What happens if some pedophile in Arkansas, or some non-Arkansas pedophile moves there and marries a six-year old? Look for a similar law in San Francisco with Mayor Gavin “Any Twosome” Newsom. What happens if someone argues that they are the parent/guardian of a dog, and with parental consent, marries the dog?
Sounds like all the pervs in the greater Arkansas area can BLOW IT OUT THEIR PIE HOLES!

Today, throughout the majority of the US we are celebrating Columbus Day. However, in Berkeley, they have Indigenous Peoples Day. They reduce the number of Holidays that are named after one person again. Remember when we had Lincoln’s birthday and Washington’s birthday and Columbus Day? Now we have “President’s Birthdays” and Indigenous Peoples Day. We still have Martin Luther King Jr Day, except in Arizona, and Christmas.
Just in time for Columbus day is England’s own, my only friend Andy. Welcome back.

Today is the day of the world famous Wang-Holder Wedding in San Francisco. Additionally, it’s also Fleet Week, where the “glamorization of war machines” celebrates the mighty men and women who stand on the wall of freedom so you and I can sleep at night. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to attend any of these wonderful events this weekend. The good news is that the Blue Angels are still allowed in Baghdad by the Bay.
Just wait until Captain Planet puts this on his list of “Carbon Footprint” tragedies and flies his private jet across the country trying to drum up support for a green military. If that happens, he and the rest of the hippies can BLOW IT OUT YOUR PIE HOLES!

A while ago, I signed up for Inbox Dollars. They send an email to me, and with two clicks, I earn about $0.03. Exciting, but those pennies add up. They also have some other money earning opportunities, with surveys and a portion back on their affilliate marketing center. The affilliate marketing center is basically the same as “Complete any three of these offers from each of these three pages and we’ll send you a [insert fancy prize here]” that you see all around the web but no matter how many of the offers you complete you never get the fancy prize because of “system errors” and “anomolies regarding your IP address” and other crap like that, except that Inbox Dollars actually gives you what they say they will.
In only a couple months, I’m already half-way to a cash payout. With a minimum payout value a third that of Adsense, and for those of us without millions of webpages, it’s faster to earn a couple of bucks.
With a $5 sign up bonus, and cash for each survey completed, I highly recommend this program.

I previously reported that we received a Nigerian Scam letter. I’m glad to see thisYahoo! News story about a huge crackdown in the Netherlands, and no, I’m not talking about the red light district.
God knows that I’ve tried to bait some of these bastards into sending me a “good faith” deposit so they can “cover advance fees,” but none of them are biting. Until they do, they can BLOW IT OUT THEIR PIE HOLE!
