I'm Back!

It's been well over a year since I last posted. I have no excuse except for laziness. And bowel movements. I've had a lot of them lately. I even have to bring an extra pair of pants to work "just in case".

Obviously a lot has happened in the last year, so I'll try to summarize...

Nothing has changed.

Good ol' Lowell is still single with no options in sight. I still work for the same company, except it's no longer called EDS, an HP company. We were absorbed by HP, so I'm now officially an HP employee.

My dreams about Janice Dickinson have disappeared. They've been replaced by the normal sex dreams (without Janice) and the dreams where you're being chased but you can't move or scream like a little girl. And, of course, the dreams about travelling hoards of gypsies in buckwagons.

I've spent a lot of time watching TV over the past year. And I've decided that there really isn't that much good stuff on. I really wish NBC would bring back their "To Catch A Predator" shows. Those were entertaining, at least the ones that didn't include me.

Oooooo. The pain killers are starting to kick in.

The local news here in Detroit keeps getting worse and worse. Three of the nine city council members have had their homes forclosed in the past year (including the city council president). These are the people the residents of Detroit have elected (I don't live in Detroit, so I don't have a vote) to lead the city out of the crisis it is currently in. They can't even handle their own finances, how the hell can they even fathom a budget the size of a small suburb let alone a large metropolitan area? City council members make over $81,000/year. I don't know about you, but that is a lot of money in a city where you can buy a very decent house for about $120,000. This council member can't afford to pay her mortgage(she owes $169,000), condo association fees($4,000 behind) and credit card (Chase Bank is suing her for $2,200). Her husband is an executive with Strategic Staffing Solutions, so he has to be making decent money too. Where does the money go? Crack and cable TV I bet.
At least they didn't re-elect Monica Conyers (who just went to jail for 37 months for accepting bribes while a member of the council in 2008).

Aaaagh! Will it ever end?
