Heat vs. Dirk

Dirk Nowitzki is having the NBA finals of his life, even though he is running a 102 degree fever. You don't see many players in their 13th year finally hitting their stride. I mean that whole Dallas team is older than dirt in NBA years.
If this guy were coming at me I'd be a little afraid also. 
It really is the Heat's series to lose. Although anything can happen in playoff basketball, second to an act of God, or Dirk, I don't see it going any other way, just a question of how many games will the series go to. 

Everyone hates the Heat because their team was "bought."
I'm not really sure if anyone was paying attention but these players actually took a pay cut to play together.... so that is a misconception. Second, who hated the dream team when they won the Olympics year, after year, after year.
I like to root for the underdog too, its always great to see a Cinderella story.
But after recently taking my talents from South Beach, my prospects aren't exactly those of the Heat. We'll see.

Now Serving Hot $&*^ Sandwiches with a side of WTF: 9.1% Real Unemployment

The monthly unemployment report came out a couple days ago putting unemployment now at 9.1%, Jobs created in May were about 1/3 less than expected, yet one remains optimistic.
Some people are glass half empty people, saying that the economy isn't going to get better. This is not beneficial according to new study done by UMiami saying that economic recovery is faster in more optimistic states.

While I was on the board for UMiami democrats, I'm not one to blindly follow a party over who I believe would be the best candidate at the time. Mitt Romney seems like a better candidate to deal with the economic decline our country is in and would do a better job on that side of things.


A lot of my democrat friends would put me to the rack for this, but I'm willing to put party lines aside for the sake of American prosperity.

I am recently privy to information regarding a job that was created in May, the identity of the persons and company have been changed to protect me from getting reprimanded. But lets just say "Kelly Jones" just graduated from "Panhandle University", submitted resumes with falsified addresses and got a job within four weeks. Well, unfortunately for "DiscountMailOrderBrides4u.com", the company that hired Kelly Jones, she's "a little nuts."But they have time to find that out and I suppose that's what pink slips are for anyway.

Back to my perpetual optimism; Due to my recent use of Google analytics I can see statistics on various traffic on the website within the US. Those readers outside US boarders need not worry, Google hasn't figured that out yet. Traffic is up, return rate is way up, content quality is down, which is what I need to work on. Funniness. I have work to do but the next couple updates will be that of comedic gold. So begin waiting with bated breath.
