Chinese Auctions

It's that time of year again. My mailbox stopped being used for bills only. It got invaded!! Every day or so, another Yeshiva, Organization or Private Tzeduka Fund, send me their booklet of prizes aimed to entice me to part from my hard earned money for a chance to win a trip to the Amazon or an African Safari. All in the name of Tzeduka!! Now.... why, pray tell, should I want to take parachute lessons or snorkeling with the whales when my wages got cut in half, gas prices are through the roof and fresh bread in my home is almost as rear as Chardonnay.
But Split-the -Pot??? That's a different story! That can make me into a rich guy. For ten bucks or so, they are willing to share their profit with little old me? Now THAT's what I call real Tzeduka in a real way. We all get to profit from that one. \
So, let me search between my couch....check my kids pockets... empty out the junk drawer... crack open my piggy bank.... borrow some from my son's coin collection, and call in that raffle.

Hey, you never know!!

Happy New Year

So...Another year went by, and what do we have to show for it? Recession and wars, Britney Spears and Miley Cyrus, gas prices and reality shows! So its time now for resolutions. I was thinking losing weight, saving money, and being a better parent. But those are so cliche'! Those are the ones you break right after the first of the month. So after tossing and turning half the night, I came to the decision: Writing a Blog! I mean how can I break that one if I love to get on my soapbox and share my wisdom with the world , duh?

Now I needed a name to use, of course. After dismissing ideas like " yada yada" or " Inking out Loud" I decided on this. We all live in a world where we do things that SOCIETY dictates us to do. We seek a job, not one we love, but has a title and a key to the bathroom, we dress, not what we feel comfortable in, but what Versace dreamt up the night before, we marry people which we hope to fall in love with one day, but if they LOOK like the trophy spouse.. now that's enough for now.

So, after living this for awhile, I woke up one day fed up! I decided to JUST LIVE IT! If I want something I go after it, If I don't, I just screw it! If I like something, I do it, If I don't, I just skip it.
I am a much happier person and to all out there who feel the same.... let me hear a shout out! TOUCHE' to it all!!
