So I’ve had cable again for a week. On my random surfings, I have found one of three things on CMT:

1. The movie Days of Thunder

2. Something (else) having to do with NASCAR

3. Another repeat showing of the Flameworthy Video Awards.

So it’s official. CMT has made its transition to MTV for the country fan complete. I have yet to see a single video.

Side note on this topic…I do like country music. I used to enjoy CMT. When it showed videos. Also, while I know that there are a great number of people out there for whom country music and NASCAR go hand in hand, I am not one of them.

This reminds me of a stand up comedian I saw once who did a bit about NASCAR.

You know where the term “NASCAR” came from, right? Bunch of guys were looking at one of the racecars, and one of ’em said ‘Yeah, that’s a naaaas car.’

A lot about livin’ (and a little ’bout love…)

Still on the country kick, I guess…heard that one on the radio earlier today. Back from the days when I used to actually like Alan Jackson. Before the whole “Where Were You When the World Stopped Turnin'” thing happened.

I’m feeling deflated today. The guy from West Seneca? Um, I called him (again) today, and he finally called me back. To tell me that they’re not interviewing me. Yeah, so why exactly did you call me in the first place? Really, how ridiculous is that? I’m hoping, really hoping, that my decision to stay in WNY wasn’t completely foolish. So here’s a question…is it more important to find a place you like, that feels like home, and make the job situation fit into it, or should one find the job and make the place where the job is into home?

I feel comfy here. I feel like this place fits me. Are there other places that might fit? Probably, I suppose. But the places where I could be assured of finding a job–Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, Florida–don’t appeal to me. So what’s the right answer?
