planning my coffee tabl book

you should never go into business with your girlfriend because as the pressure mounts, she will be unable to separate the business from the personal. everything that you fail to do in the area of business will be a deliberate attempt to hurt her by compounding her stress and work load. you will always be the bad guy because you are closest to her and you always hurt the ones you love.
needless to say it is not going well. we have broken up though i sincerely hope that the break is temporary. i love her and was planning on proposing this christmas eve. i can only hope that she finds the ability to separate our relationship from the business and realizes how much we love each other. oh and it would be nice if the nasty text messages stopped.

you should never go into business with someone you do not know. this seems logical until you are swayed by the emotional ties of your girlfriend vouching for this person. by the time you realize that the two of you do not gell, it will be too late. you are on a rudderless ship heading for the reef. it is going to get ugly.

it is probably a good idea not to go into the restaurant business with two people who do not seem to know that food is actually a part of inventory. i may be new to the restaurant business but i am no idiot. you need to know down to the last egg how much produce you have and exactly how much you sell and what was the profit of those sold items every single day! this seems elementary to me. i cannot for the life of me understand why this is so alien of a concept that my two business partners flat out refuse to do it.

and the nasty and somewhat intimidating texts continue. she has clearly mistaken me for someone who scares easily.

new orleans has a deficit

seems to me if we were really concerned about our deficit, we might post pone the city council pay raise or have our mayor restrict his travels to exotic locales on tax payer money.

in other news

thanks be to the powers that the new hate crimes bill passed that now includes sexual orientation and gender identity.

nagin has gone communist. since he likes china and cuba so much, perhaps he could relocate immediately.

vitter refused to vote for the hate crimes legislation despite the fact that it was attached to war spending legislation. you have to be one fucked up biased son of bitch to be a republican and not vote for war spending just to avoid giving gays protection.

i'm bitter. just tired and bitter.

ah good ole robbie burns

The best laid schemes o' mice an' men
Gang aft agley,
An' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain,
For promis'd joy!
