“The Color of Tucker”
A new Bin Laden audio tape has released boasting about his escape from the bombing of the mountains where he was hiding in Dec. 2001. (or dodging a PR campaign as Drew would say). He talks how Iraqi troops should rally against America if we go into Iraq. I guess that’s why the alert was raised to Red. Many thought a War with Iraq would an increased chance of an attack.
In reference to the color, coded terror alerts I am going to gage my frustration working my current job at Sears after graduating from Rowan. For those of you taking note I have gone one two interviews witb not luck yet, although the second is not dead in the water yet. I have turned down two job offers because of distance and they sounded like they would suck.
Color Level:
White: Happy Go Lucky. I love Sears, who cares if I spent 4.5 years in college. I LOVE THIS JOB. I went on my Razor’s Edge Experience and I found that working at the Outlet until I die is what I want.
Green: Sears: Where Else? I want to become the next Willie Borders. I want to raise in the ranks of the retail chain. I plan to do this by being dumber and dumber the older I get.
Blue: Rational level. I am going to keep this job for a source of income while I try to land a better paying job. I have to sit in front of the computer and check the papers. I must not get disheartened and remind myself I will be out of there soon. I have to call people and company’s for connections and chance. I will not grow lazy. I will not falter. I will not fail.
Yellow: Frustrated. I HATE every minute at Sears it is pure hell. I wish death upon almost every customer I come in contact with. I NEED a new JOB NOW..or I will soon go crazy. I plan to do things pretty half-assed.
Orange: Disgruntled. I am going to go and be the worst Sear employ ever. Maybe they will fire me and it will make me more desperate for a job. So I can dedicate my whole day to getting a new job and be poor. I am going to make a complete mockery of my horrible paying job.
Red: Highly Irate. I am going to go into Sears and quit and take my chances having no source of income. I am going to leave there and quite possibly curse everyone out as I leave. I might even punch a customer or two.
Today’s code is a code Blue. I hope that this stupid joke runs no longer than a month. The level can bounce back and forth like the Terrorist color code. I have to finnish duct taping my home!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey for kicks why don't my readers email me at Mstkeith@aol.com to tell me if you had to pick one person to be sealed in a bunker for a long period of time after an attack who would that person be?! I will post them on here when I get enough in! Anyone is fair game from Ben Affleck to Avril to Rip Torn.

“The 700 Club and the Money Pit”
Brett Hull reached a milestone last night when he netted his 700th career goal. Such an exclusive club in the hockey world it only has five other members. Wayne Gretzky ( 894), Gordie Howe (801), Marcel Dionne (731), Phil Esposito (717) and Mike Gartner (most recently with 708).
Hull had gone 7 games between 699 and 700. Brett won a cup with the Stars and last year with the Redwings. Best known for running his mouth, and his ego, which resulted him in butting heads with various coaches including current Flyers head coach Ken Hitchcock.
Meanwhile a big trade was pulled off between the New York Rangers and the Pittsburgh Penguins that have more hockey fans shaking their heads than debating on who got the better end of the deal. Since the Penguins are in a total void of cash they had to unload their star player Alexi Kovalev ( 4th in the NHL in scoring) simply cause they could not afford him. This comes with two years of losing super start Jarmior Jagr and defensemen Bob Boughner due to lack of funds. Not only that they sent a capable d-man in Janne Laukkanen and Mike Wilson to the big apple in this uneven trade. The Penguins pretty much got a band of losers in return. The pack was lead by Mikael Samuelson, who is a good third line player. The rest of the bunch are mostly no-names or fringe AHL players. D-man Joel Boucherd, Richard Lintner and forward Rico Fata (who?) and what they needed the most 4 Million bucks.
Its sad to see such big team like the Penguins have to pretty much write off all their assets. The Penguins could go the way of the Buffalo Sabres, and Ottawa Senators who can’t afford to pay their players. Although Buffalo was somewhat a result of corporate corruption, many other small market teams are on the verge of disaster, including Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver, and Carolina.
The trade bulks up the horrible New York Ranger’s payroll even more. But look at the standings the Rangers aren’t going anywhere. Vancouver has almost 20 more points than them, kind of makes you wonder if all those players are even worth it.
