"Business School?"

There's an idea, a vague possibility, that I may try to make an old-school rap song a la LL Cool J's "I Need A Beat" called "Business School." It would be the story of someone going to business school and then whatever happens to them there. 

I picture it as the kind of theme song to one of those screwball 80s movies like "Ski School." A song about a movie that doesn't exist. And, yes, I do need to get a life. And a girlfriend. This is really bad. It's all gotten really bad . . .  

"Pat Keegan Plays "It's Hard to See a Future" by Mick O'Brien"

This is my new favorite song. I love it. 

"More Adulting"

I just got a discount card for a major pharmacy. I'll be saving all sorts of 8 cents on things!

"Aetna Goes Too Far"


Happy Valentine's Day, everyone! If you're like me, you're especially sad and all alone today -- Anyway, as you all know, six days ago Aetna, my health care provider, sent me a complimentary thermometer, a pack of twenty-four sugar-free honey lemon flavored cough suppressants, and a tube of chapstick -- and they really made my day! However, today they not only called for the second time about some stupid survey, but they sent me another complimentary thermometer, twenty-four more sugar-free honey lemon flavored cough suppressants, and another tube of chapstick.

Now it's all just incredibly annoying and aggravating. Aetna has gone loco. They've crossed the line, gone too far, and ruined my day.

"Aetna Healthcare!"

Today, Aetna, my heath care provider, sent me a complimentary thermometer, twenty-four sugar-free honey lemon flavored cough suppressants, and a tube of chapstick. Everyone else severely let me down today -- but Aetna came through in the clutch! 

Go Aetna!

"Life Hack #1"

This friend of mine was talking to me about how he washes his clothes? 

But I gave it a try and it turns out it's much more convenient and cost-effective than wearing a pair of clothes only once, then having to throw them away, and buy new ones -- constantly!

Great life hack!

"Lending A Helping Hand"

My mom has a bad flu, so while she's laid up, I've been checking in on her and helping her out. 

Today, I was out buying groceries for her, and as I exited the supermarket, there was a young gentlemen, a high school student, who was trying to raise money for college. I gave him five dollars out of the money my mom had given me for her groceries and he thanked me for it. 

You see, helping your mom out when she's sick, giving a kid a chance at college -- these are ways we can all lend a helping hand.

And when my mom gets healthy and that kid graduates college, they'll have me to thank, and those two little things will be enough of a reward for me.

"Hayden - Bad As They Seem" (Official Video)"


I love this song so much. One of the greatest songs ever written, off one of the greatest albums ever made. I've been listening to it for 23 years. The music video is also the greatest, too.

"It's Called Growing Up, And Also Not Getting A Discount"

So, I used the discount card I signed up for and wrote about in my last blog post -- and I got nothing! I didn't save a dime! 

None of the grocery items I purchased qualified for a discount! How many exclamation points can I use in this one post!

I guess it's all about being patient, bidding one's time. That's the real adult thing to do, here. Eventually, this discount card is gonna start saving me money, and then I'll be the one laughing -- not to the bank or anything: the discounts are apparently miniscule.
