Welcome to 2009

by Rico

Just like all things “we” do it’s a day late and dollar short, sorry about the delay people. One thing that I don’t understand is all these New Year’s slogans. I remember “I’m getting my shit straight for 08” “I’m leaving it all behind in 09” which are all forgotten by February 1st. I’m trying to understand why people fool themselves into thinking just because the New Year rolls around that they will magically get the will power to change themselves when they put off any change from October until December 31st waiting for the stroke of midnight to make an unrealistic change in their life.

First off leaving it all behind in 09 ain’t really possible because those 08 bills are still due in January. Also the it’s 2009 we got a black president what is that really gonna do with you paying your rent car note or whatever it is you have to pay to survive or as big mama used to say “What that got to do with the price of chicken”. Now don’t get me wrong getting Obama in the white house was a wonderful achievement but, I’ve got the strangest feeling it’s gonna be like the first OJ verdict. Everyone had this “We won, We Won!!!” mentality but I’ve been looking in the mail for my OJ prize since 95 and ain’t seen nothing yet. Now personally I hope Obama proves me entirely wrong and gold bars end up in everybody’s mailbox and skittles rain down from the heavens, but the likely hood of that happening is just about as likely as the Bush daughters turning down a drink………..ever.
