I really wish someone could tell me why I’ve been so sick lately. I never get sick. Ever. For some reason I’ve been reduced to a whimpering mess. The video after the jump summarizes my situation. [Read more...]
Economic slowdown?
March 2, 2008 By
I’m not an economist.
Still, all this talk of an economic slowdown is quite perplexing. I just returned from Costco and Circuit City. Circuit City received a shipment of 34 Wiis this moring. They opened at 10:00 a.m. and by 10:30 they were gone according to a store clerk. The woman in front of me at Costco purchased $291 worth of quesadillas, Diet Coke and peanut butter among other household goods. What constitutes an economic slow down? It may be that Americans are spending less on what they can’t afford and more on what they need. My experience today would contradict that…as people seemingly are spending money at random on everything they still want. I don’t think the majority of Americans are somehow making less money. I have yet to speak to anybody who has taken a pay cut at a job. We still drive just as much with $3 gas and nobody I know has said they’re going to stop spending money because of a recession.
Holy shit that was a boring ass entry.
Too many sports
March 2, 2008 By
Watching UT-UK on TV right now and it’s interesting to think just how many sports I’ve engrossed myself in in just the past two months. It’s tough to keep up when someone asks you when this is or that is. Auburn has spring practice going on presently. We just wrapped up the Final Four for prep hoops. The HS wrestling tournament was a few weeks ago. The NCAA tournament will be played in Birmingham this year. I think there’s a race in Talladega in a few weeks. I need a calendar.
