I know it’s not a big deal.  The kid is what, three years old?  He can’t even vote!  It’s still super funny, and a testament to how great Manny Villar’s PR team is.  I mean seriously.  The kid is around Kris Aquino ALL DAY, and all he can think about is whether or not he’s ever swam in an ocean of garbage.  Fantastic.

There’s also been some controversy that Villar just reused some political jingles from an Argentina politician.  I say so what.  If anybody can sue him, only the Argentine can.  It’s not our affair whatsoever.  It’s working for him, so that’s that.  This is politics.  It is what it is.

Sometimes I wonder what it’d be like to do the corporate thing and move to where the real money is made: Wall Street.  Maybe I’ve seen too many Wall Street movies, or read too many books about the stock market but I can’t help but wonder how hard it’d be to find jobs in New York.  You hear all these stories about how New York is a tough place, though.

Well, like Billy Joel once said, if you can make it in New York, then you can make it anywhere.  All we really need is a New York state of mind!

You ever notice how hardcore Maroon 5 lyrics are?  I mean, in their first hit single “Harder to Breathe,” Adam Levine says something like “Watch your step ’cause if I do you need a miracle.”  Talk about being dramatic.  He could have just as easily said, “If I do you should get some free insurance quotes.”  Now that’s practical.

Well anyway, you can’t argue with their logic.  Their lyrics make for chart topping hits.  How can you beat that?  That trumps pragmatism and practicality any day of the week.

Ever since my GF told me about her awesome LED TV, I’ve been considering getting one for my room.  Right, that’s not true, I have not considered it for a second.  I HAVE thought about what I want the TVs in my future house to be like, though.

I want them energy-efficient, state of the art, and AWESOME.  I probably won’t be the one doing the buying, though.  Oh sure, I’ll pay for the stuff, but flat screens, plasma mounts, surround sound and all that stuff is way over my head.  I’ll get an expert to do it.

I don’t know if I blogged about this but I was in a car accident a few months back.  Ordinarily it isn’t a big deal since nobody got hurt, except for the fact that my auto didn’t have car insurance when it happened.  Fortunately, the damage wasn’t that bad, so it’s all good.  My crew can still hammer out the damage.

Still, it was a lucky break.  That’s why I got my insurance agent on the phone ASAP and got that baby some insurance.  OK, maybe I didn’t call him up right away.  I’m pretty lazy like that.

I have seriously been thinking about giving all my people better safety equipment.  I tried my hand at it before giving them steel-toed shoes, but they all ended up still working in their slippers, so it gets very disheartening sometimes.

Of course, I guess it should be a matter of principle more than anything else.  But man, if I spend for safety glasses and all that other stuff, I want them being used.  Not doing so is like throwing away money.  Just another one of those things why I’m not a Fortune 500 company.
