More Randomnivity....

I was so bummed out to find out the new amusement park in Wichita closed after only two months.  They made the announcement last Monday.  The main problems they said was the inordinate amount of rain we've had this year.  I felt bad for the owners who are saying they will lose everything.  I've been there with the greedy bastards we dealt with at Blimpie International.  Over a thousand of us lost our stores, even after being in the top ten sales for as long as we were.  I heard on the news the other day that Krispy Kreme donuts have done the same greedy crap with their franchisees.  They are trying to get rich at the sake of the franchisees instead of waiting for their good fortune by helping make the franchisees successful.  I think it was Ray Kroc, founder of McDonalds that said "I'll get rich after I help you get rich".  Where has that kind of thinking gone in business today?  Between the oil companies, the government and t he insurance companies, I think it's safe to say that greed runs this country!

I had to interrupt my train of thought to interview a Navy Blue Angel who stopped by the radio station.  What an amazing occupation.  I would think it's almost as fun as being in radio only you probably don't get fired as much and some pimple face teenage punk can't walk in off the street and say I wanna be a Blue Angel, so they fire one of them and put the punk in in his place because he'll work for minimum wage.  That is the biggest reason it is different than radio.  Plus the fact that there is a high degree of honor in beng in the service of your country instead of telling people what the weather is every fifteen minutes.

I would guess that the perks are very similar except for when you work for the Navy you usually live near the ocean or some other area close to paradise.  Plus you get the hot babes when you're in the Navy.  Plus the uniform is to die for!  It's my opinion that the Navy whites are classier than the typical radio hawaiian shirt and harachi sandals.  Plus you have the coolest equipment...whatever that means. 

You never heard The Village People singing about being in radio did you?

I have totally forgotten what I started writing about here.  Allow me to gather my thoughts and return when I have a reason to be here.

That is all...Peters out!  ;-)  (I've always wanted to do one of those sideways smiley things)
