Man . . .

I have sometimes wondered whether the dim bulbs who work at the K-Mart are drawn there by a mystical force, or if they are otherwise ordinary people who, little by little, get their brains along with their will to live literally sucked out of them by their environment.

One could reason that, when given a choice to work at, say, Target or K-Mart, a person with more than a room temperature IQ would choose Target every time. In fact, one would think that anyone capable of fogging a mirror would choose Target. This would seem to suggest that either only a select few are choosing to work at the K-Mart freely or there is a hidden and overwhelming factor that tips the scales in favor of the K-Mart employment experience. Perhaps an extra 25 cents an hour?

I bring it up because that's the route I went about 18 months ago. Oh, not literally to the K-Mart, and it certainly wasn't for an extra 25 cents an hour, but chasing dollars is what ultimately led to this blog being virtually abandoned. I'm happy to report that the dollar chasing has ended in favor of, well, having a life - and as a result, for better or for worse, you'll likely be seeing more going on here from now on.

Now, that being said, this having a life thing may be a bit optimistic. All it may really mean is that I can squeeze in the vacuuming every weekend instead of every other weekend. Okay, so really once a month, plus once about an hour before house guests come over. Well, new house guests anyway. I've already shared my thoughts on the vacuum in an earlier post, but I will say that you can have a lot of fun chasing around a toddler with a vacuum though. It's kinda like playing with your child and cleaning the house all at the same time, and as a bonus the whirring of the vacuum drowns out the screaming pretty good too. Yup, father of the year.

Anyhoo, I made a song to celebrate my new found free (house-cleaning) time, and put it over there on the right (Man I Feel Like a Woman). In the original, Shania and pals go out and have a night on the town, and girl power, and maybe they get a fro-yo or something afterwards, I dunno... This song is a parody of that one, and would represent the flip side. I hope you like it.

Cheers!!
