IN PRAISE FOR RIDING A BIKE AROUND TOWN

There's a certain amount of pleasure and happiness in riding a bike. Fate mixed with my own level of stupidity has decreed that I must ride a bike around town. Instead of gloating on my misfortunes that has forced me to ride around town by bicycle, I have learned to accept the fate that was bestowed upon me. I shall never give up hope that someday I'll be able to own and drive around in a car someday. Until that happens, I shall continue to ride around on a bike. So here I'm at. Soon I shall travel out onto the brisk Auttumn weather. It's not too cold. The weather is rather medium level. Not a flake of snow to be found anywhere. Yes, I know the good fortune won't last forever. Cleveland, Ohio is legandary for bone crunching massive Winter storms. However, I'm willing to wait a few weeks before the snow arrives. In the meantime, here's some photos of ICARLY television sitcome actress Jennette McCurdy and a few of her friends. They too enjoy hanging out and having a good time.

WHAT HAPPENS TONIGHT AT HALLOWEEN

Tonight is significant for two reasons. Not only is it the second to the last day of the month October 2011, it's also Halloween. Beyond October 31, 2011 is the month of November. Beyond that is the month of December. After Thanksgiving Day, Christmas and New Years Day, then we'll begin the year 2012. However, I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's just focus on surviving the rest of October in general and Halloween in particular. We'll worry about the rest later. I'm not saying that I don't have a plan. I have a rough sketch of a plan. I'm praying to GOD everyday that my rough sketch of a plan doesn't fall apart into ruin.

It's not easy being unemployed. Trust me when I say that I don't enjoy talking about it just as much as you probably don't enjoy hearing about it. However, the need to be employed again is a primary concern of mine. I'm not used to being unemployed for such a long time. The Great Recession is rough for me. It's rough for everybody, but I never thought that I would get caught up in the mess. Anyway, I pray to GOD everyday that the Great Recession will someday end. Ecdonomic prosperity will return to the United States of America again. We need to be confident in the prospect of a brighter future. And as we wait for a brighter economic future, here are some photos of Hayden Panettiere.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS ON HALLOWEEN DAY

So I'm still unemployed. I'll still be needing to go job hunting to resolve that difficulty. On the positive side, I'm having an easier time figuring out the geography of Cleveland, Ohio. That's because I'm looking for more places that I didn't fill out a job application form to. Without a car, I'm traveling by bicycle. Therefore, I'm getting great exercise. So trick and treating starts close to 6:30 tonight. Ah yes, that's the witching hour. So here I'm at. I'm doing some internet surfing before heading out for job hunting. I'm checking my e-mail and visiting job hunting web sites. Nothing yet, but I'm still optimistic. Anyway, that's my day's schedule. I wish my life was more interesting, but I guess I'll take whatever I could get. Oh yes, here are some photos of country music performer Taylor Swift.

Eddie Murphy On Rick Ross’ Seizures (Video)

While sitting down with Eddie Murphy and Ben Stiller (promoting for their new film, Tower Heist), BlogXilla brings up the film’s soundtrack, which Rick Ross appears on and segues into the topic of Rick Ross’ seizure episodes. I know seizures aren’t something anyone should really make jokes on, but Eddie does bring up a good point. Haha. Starts at the 1:25 mark.
