According to White House estimates, “President Bush’s tax cut and the sluggish economy have combined to virtually erase the projected budget surplus not dedicated to Social Security this year and next”. My favorite part? Bush, speaking in Independence, Mo., defended the tax cut and the size of the surplus: “We must resist the temptation of a bigger threat to growth, and that’s excessive federal spending.” He continued, “We don’t want the budget to be a hollow noise. We want the budget to be real, and that’s why I’ve been given the power of the veto.” Um, hello? If you have money in the bank doesn’t mean you HAVE to spend it. At least that’s what my dad always tells me. How about saving? How about earning interest on it? I just don’t get it. If anyone can enlighten me, please do.

I FORGOT Melissa’s birthday. Two weeks before her birthday I thought about it, wishing I had enough moola to buy everyone gifts off of their Amazon Wish Lists for their birthday. Then with everything going on at work, I spaced it. Totally let it pass by with out saying a word. Ack! Ok, Melissa, that’s it – you may harrass me as much as you want for being an Aggie. I deserve it after that. Hey, can you use “I am an Aggie.” as an excuse in court? You know, like instead of claiming to be legally insane? Aren’t the two pretty much the same? Anyways, I am sorry Melissa. And I am glad to see you back online!

Ok, I think this is a sign that I work at a truly kick-ass company. (Yes, I still love my job.) We have a portion of our server dedicated to mp3s. TONS of mp3s. Awesome mp3s. You name it, it’s there – except Cheap Trick. I need some Cheap Trick and we don’t have any. I am going to have to fix that. Meanwhile, I am listening to Credence Clearwater Revival – “Sweet Home Alabama”. I love CCR.

Here is a small sample of the diverse selection out there: 10,000 Maniacs, Alan Jackson, Alice Cooper, Bangles, Beethoven, Bowling for Soup, Cake, CCR, Charlie Daniels Band, Counting Crows, Bon Jovi, Book of Love, Dido, Madonna, Foo Fighters, Lenny Kravitz, Depech Mode, Soft Cell, The Cult, The Cure, The Smiths, The Who, Tears for Fears, When in Rome. But no Cheap Trick. Until I upload it! And no Moulin Rouge – we are going to have to do something about this. Meanwhile, I *heart* my company!

Wow, I didn’t know that there was a Vegas Weddings Cam. How fun! Someone is getting married by Elvis right now. I love it… (Link thanks to Wholly Matrimony!)

Dad sent this to me tonight – thought it was pretty funny & I would share. One of these days I will finally set up my blog to hold stuff like this (wellslapmesilly.com) but for now it’s just going here.

Any Man who brings a camera to a stag night may be legally killed or beaten by his fellow partygoers.

Under no circumstances may two men share an umbrella.

It is ok for a man to cry under the following circumstances:

Unless he murdered someone in your family, you must bail a friend out of jail within 12 hours.

If you’ve known a guy for more than 24 hours, his sister is off limits forever, unless you actually marry her.

The minimum amount of time you have to wait for a guy who’s running late is 5 minutes. Maximum waiting time is 6 minutes. For a girl, you have to wait 10 minutes for every point of hotness she scores on the classic 1-10 scale.

Bitching about the brand of free beer in a friend’s fridge is forbidden. Gripe at will if the temperature is unsuitable.

No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering your buddies birthday is optional.

When stumbling upon other guys watching a sporting event, you may always ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who’s playing.

It is permissible to quaff a fruity chick drink only when you’re sunning on a tropical beach… and it’s delivered by a topless supermodel… and it’s free.
