So I always get nostalgic with that song

“The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower becomes the lender’s slave.” – Proverbs 22:7

Whoa, I watching the National last night when they did a segment on biblical scripture being used for financial planning.  Who could think I’d get inspiration from not only the Christian Church but also Americans for financial reform?

Its bloody hot out!  Its all anyone talks about on their twitter feeds, or facebook or on the radio.

Whenever it gets this hot out, I always remember listening to Big Wreck’s “That Song” as a seventeen or eighteen-year-old kid.  It was insanely hot that summer and the family stereo was in the living room of my parent’s place in Coquitlam, the hottest room of the house.  I put the song on repeat and just lay on the floor jamming it out.

Now to this day, the song reminds me of summer… but the lazy, hazy late afternoon summer days.  Hanging out at home, bored and waiting for something to happen, which is basically the best times as a teenager.

This hot weather reminds me how much I truly enjoy my scooter.  It is just plain fun tooling around on that thing in the summer time.

The one issue we’re having at the Casa La CorJ is sleep (oh and lack of sex, Coral won’t let me touch her in this heat!).

I read about some neat innovations and I think I want to MacGyver something up tonight.

One method calls for filling a pan or bucket with ice, then placing the bucket in front of the fan, like a poor man’s air conditioner… and if there is one thing I am, its a poor man!

The article had more than a couple tips so I am sure I’ll find something that works.

Go with yourself.

all I can do is read a book to stay awake

I think I need to invest in a good sweater.  In fact, there is a whole line of apparel I will need when the some money comes in.

I am filling in for Dylan for the next couple of weeks and each morning so far, I have froze half to death on my drive into the station.  And the weather has been good.  If/when it turns real sour with rain, and wind and sleet and hail, I’ll need a good sweater and some rain pants.  I scootered a couple winters ago and I don’t remember it being so cold.  Especially after my folks bought me a closed-faced helmet.  I must be getting weak in my old age.

One thing I have learned, two days into waking up at this ungodly hour, breakfast is king.  Fried up some eggs at 4 something this morning while watching the news.  Makes show prep so much more fun.  I think I am going to need ot troll a little deeper for stories and write twice as much.  The phones are crushingly slow in the AM and my show is six hours long.

Coral and I watched the Emmys on Sunday night and this clip had us both laughing.

Gossip Girl (yes, i watch it EVERY week) was mucho good.  Coral is reading the books, so she has insight that I can never match.  The show ebded with Dan being frozen out of society by the bullies of the school while Santogold’s “Shove It” played.  Groovy song.

Everytime Corj and I watch this show or Coral puts down her book, she says, “I want to go to New York so badly.”

If I can handle life this afternoon after the show, Corj and I are taking Madelyn swimming!  Then an epic nap before spinning tonight at Hugo’s.  My last Tuesday is October 21st.  I hope to see you down there sometime.  There is talk of moving the night to another club, but at this time nothing has been hammered down.  I think the coffee is done brewing so I am going to say “Go With Yourself” and pour a mug’s worth.
