Shit, I would consider it if I didn't have to move
from NOLA. I'm dying for a change. I work in a constant sweaty haze of grime and
fear of failure on the line. It would be great to be a professional
meditator and get paid for it too. I mean, don't focus on NOLA and you've lost
the game in my book. No offense but fuck Texas and all the other redneck
territory. I don't get why they don't pitch the South. Apparently being
Black MMY has a black stigma. But I think the fact that he's black makes him
really sellable. The Movement is really stupid. Especially if they don't have
people culling these listserves looking for good ideas. A lost opportunity is no
opportunity at all. I think we here have covered all possibilities, and we could
have done it better. Also because we all know we are whacko and don't have to
wonder about it. That's called maturity.

I hear on reliable authority that as far as the Midwest
zone (or whatever it's
called) is concerned, there were no takers for the
$2,000 a month full-time
jobs, so MMY upped the salary to $3,000.
