This weekend I am going to sit down and get all the paperwork organized that I will be needing for the up and coming tax year. There just isn’t any way to get around all the papers that we need to keep for things just like our yearly taxes. I hate paperwork and everything that goes along with it. I’m grateful for being able to do my taxes on the computer these days, that certainly helps a whole lot.
When I sign on to my laptop, it automatically goes to the Yahoo homepage. Today the big story was the naming and the adoption of Elton John’s new baby boy who is being named Zachary. The story is all about how he met his husband, the wedding and then the adoption. A real “feel good” story. What a shame to find so many negative comments posted below the story from so many people that are homophobic.
I’ve been waiting to watch the newest version of The Vice Guide To Everything on MTV. I’ve heard that they are going to touch on the drug war issue that has taken the lives of over 30,000 people in the last couple of years. That is more people than have been killed in the war that we are participating in over in the deserts.
Back in the 90′s I used to work for Nationwide Insurance. When I first started working there their logo used to be well known eagle’s head in blue on a white background.
Years later when I left Nationwide, after they had spent millions upon millions of dollars with a Logo Design Company that came up with the following empty blue box that had us rolling with laughter and as well as bit of disgust and contempt for all that money being used and coming up with a new logo that consists of 4 blue lines. It was our opinion that the old logo was just fine and the time and money spent to come up with the new one could have put to better use, especially since many of us were being passed up for promotions, raises, bonuses and benefits were starting to be phased out.
Having a logo is very important, but it just seemed to use that if it wasn’t broken, why spend the time and money to try and fix it! All the waste that came out of that logo change, anything that had the eagle on it was to be destroyed, there was tons of that type of stuff around in just our office, much less all the other offices, all across the country that was going through the same nonsense.
On TNT coming up next Friday, the 17th at 8:00pm they will be holding the annual Christmas In Washington performance, which is something that I try and catch each year. Many dignitaries and VIPs along with the President and First Lady will be attending and it will benefit the National Children’s Medical Center.
This year’s holiday music celebration, will be hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, and features Andrea Bocelli, Mariah Carey, Miranda Cosgrove, Annie Lennox, Maxwell and Matthew Morrison. A good line up that will hopefully light up the stage for the evening. Hope it isn’t too cold for all concerned.
