I'm thinking about not paying my bills anymore. Not because I don't have the money, I'm just sick of it, you know? Why am I playing their game, it's my life. What are they going to do, sue me?

That opening paragraph was just a random thought I had while riding the bus last night. I'm not going stop paying my bills. That's a sign of giving up and I haven't given up, DO YOU HEAR ME? I HAVEN'T GIVEN UP!

That second paragraph wasn't really me either, I wrote that after drinking two high caffeine energy drinks.

Let's just forget that the first three paragraphs were written for today. I think I may have been writing down my thoughts as they came to me. That's interesting.

My brother just wrote to me, he just told me that I should buy instead of renting. I've thought about that before but it's so crazy around here -- $130,000, let's say, in Hoboken will get you a very small basement, if you're lucky. Let me find an ad on the net: $239,900, 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath(s), 619 SqFt Completely renovated kitchen w/granite countertops, mosaic tiles, HW floors, exposed brick walls, high ceilings, bay window. 619 square feet for $239,900 -- I'm in the wrong business or in the wrong town or both.

I have to update that last paragraph. I just got off the phone with my friend Tiffany, she's a Realtor and she told me I was wrong. I've always had the mind set that if I buy, that's it, I'm stuck for the next 30 years. But she told me people in Hoboken only stay for 7 years and then they sell. It's crazy but I never thought of any of this before. I may buy a place, you heard it here first. Thanks George and thanks Tiffany. '04 is Bobby's time not to be a sucker, anymore. I just got off the phone with my Mom to tell her my plan and I think she may have had a silent heart attack -- Mom's no good with change. Oh well.

I know this isn't much today, blame it on sweeps-- I'm extra busy these days.

Here's a photo to make it seem like today's diary is something:
Sleepy kitty

OK, that was nothing. I mean, I liked it, I always wanted a cat that sleeps on the TV but it probably doesn't mean much to you.

That's it!

Stay gold,

Bob
