The Daily News

1   Well.

2   This was lofty.

3   Q.

4   Is the time at the bottom of my computer, or iPhone, or iPad, or any other alien forces accurate?

5   I still can't re-work an alarm clock from the eighties. 

6   Imagine.

7    

8   I suddenly find myself thrown into the future without any legal representation.

9   And as an Old Brown Shoe, I find it disorientating. 

10  Are you aware that Dictionary.com welcomes that? 

11  

12   Anyone lookin'?

13   Ah, it's all good. 

14   I may have shared this before, but it bears repeating. Okay to move on here for a brief time?

15   Moving On, Part One: A fabulously talented teacher at our school goes ballistic each morning whenever she sees any parent parking on the side of the street leading to our parking lot, or even worse, entering our parking lot. In each instance, there are signs posted telling the public that there is no stopping, parking, or even visiting these sacred realms. 

16  For the record, we have nearly 2700 students at our school.

17   It isn't likely that all of them, or their parents will follow the rules. 

18   Each time she sees a parent or student not following the signs, she goes nuts. 

19   

20  I do too, not gonna lie.

21  Not even gonna lie.

22  

23   

24   Seesly.

25   As a crown member of the Old Brown Shoe Society, I must confess it does annoy the hell out of me.

26   But I realized long ago that stressing over this is futile.

27   I've approached her on several occasions, as a true friend and said, "Why don't you go to Home Depot, buy a HUGE broom, go down to Santa Cruz and rid the shores of sand?"

28  

29   <crickets>

30   Okay. 

31   I get it. 

32   

33   You must stare amazed.

34   And the funny thing is, I am lined up with the rage, but way too busy to care. 

35   That's the beauty of being an Old Brown Shoe. 

36   I know it sounds glamorous, but dude. 

37  

38   Okay, I'll live with that.

39   ffdsdffffdfdaaf. Just found out the Niners got rid of Frank Gore. Do those people ever think anymore? Yeesh. So long, Frank Gore right. I can't believe your song is gone so soon. That team, I swear to you. I could always switch football out for curling. 

40   Anybody lookin'?

41

42   Damn.

43   I could say so much more, but puh-leez.

44   Too much goin' on too soon, and I'm still trying to return calls to emails two weeks waiting. 

45   If you emailed me and I haven't answered, it's one of two things:  1) I'm so backed up by work and craziness that I either saw it and forgot through multi-tasking, or 2) I hate your happy ass. 

46   <swiftly> Nah. 

47   I don't hate anyone, except people in charge of laying off people. If you are one of those, I have a bit of trouble, not gonna lie in an era when Yahoo is laying off thousands each Wednesday.

48

49   Shame on you, Yahoo. We should have an international boycott on you. Companies that don't respect the people they hire and who disrespect the fact that they have families need to be called out. 

50  Yahoo, shame, shame, shame on you. You are destroying millions of lives simply because of the bottom line. 

51

52   Not if everyone boycotts you. 

53   Think I'm kiddin'?

54   We should have an instant nationwide boycott of Yahoo until they return the jobs and lives of every single person they have fired in the past month. Don't hire people if you intend to fire them. They gave their lives to you.

55   

56   Seesly. 

57   They need to get it. 

58   They need to get it. End of rant.

59   AnywayZ...

60   I gottago. It's into the midnight, and I'm exhausted, but healthy and happy, because I got to go to the dumps yesterday!

61  That's dumps with a capital Disney

 

!!!

62   There's hope people. 

63   Just wake up and see it. It's a beautiful thing. 

64   Gottago.

65   See you again.

66   Peace.
