‘Nother Day, ‘Nother Dollar

Thursday, 2 June 2005 Jacob Tomaw

I was rather undermotivated at work today. Just felt blah all day long.

That is until, Tom and I one our first round match in the Tech Ops Pictionary tournament! Second round match is tomorrow. I will let you know if we make it to the Semi-finals.

Money, Money, Money, Money

Joscelynn has been reading me passages from Atlas Shrugged about money. It is really brilliant stuff.

I have been catching up on Jonah Goldberg’s articles and found this quote that he attributes to an anonymous wonk from the 1980’s,

“Today, wanting someone else’s money is called ‘need,’ wanting to keep your own money is called ‘greed,’ and ‘compassion’ is when politicians arrange the transfer.”

I think it is brilliant!

Ok, New Month, New Year

Wednesday, 1 June 2005 Jacob Tomaw

Ok folks. I am going to take it one day at a time, but I will try to post more consistently in this new year.

I know most of you think the year began on 1 January. However, years used to begin on 1 April after a long new years celebration starting near the end of March. I propose that we start celebrating the new years on 27 May and let the celebration last until 1 June. This only makes sense seeing how the world revolves around me and June is much less gloomy in the north than January.
