I got an email from my friend Knute that I wanted to share. Kind of came from out of left field, but I thought it was interesting from the standpoint that most of us that have only lived in the DC Area since high school/college assume that our steez must be the steez in every other major city as well. Obviously, it's not the case. Anyway, if for some reason you can’t find me in DC after my lease is up at the end of September, you’ll know where to start your search.

This dialogue originated from a MySpace message Knute sent me saying that I need to get on gmail chat so we could catch up:

Me to Knute:

Yeah, I got totally dominated - my company now blocks gmail chat and myspace, so i can't use either from work. how's everything going? lemme know if you're gonna be around later this evening & we could catch up after work.

Knute to Me:

Your company's bombed-out and depleted. Who are you working for? I was thinking how different it must be working in VA and Denver. VA is almost all business. Rarely do you find jobs that let you, for example, dress in jeans if you don't meet with clients, work without fear of being tracked and watched, or take your dog to work. In VA, bosses micro-manage, talk to you like assholes, and blow spots. And you have to slug it out a few hours in traffic to go and take your daily beating.

Working 9-5 in D-town is near ideal. My boss won't mind if I come to work in jeans, come in late, take a little xtra for lunch, surf the net during downtime, or any of that. I brought my PSP to work last Thursday and Friday and played Madden for 5 hours each day. I have a west facing view on the 20th floor, my own office, and a boss that probably gets high the moment he gets home. The other lawyers I work with are just as chill. And even the people you meet during feeding times downtown. I am starting to realize that people in Denver just don't care if something is done late or later on. Everyone stops working at 530 and everyone balls out to the mountains on weekends. If only Denver had better law schools.

Sorry, I don't mean to rub it in. You shuold get the eff out on NOVA and explore the rest of the country. NOVA's rancid...you know it, I know it. In any event, ski season's coming up and you should start looking online (ebay) for ski passes-- search under "Keystone 4 pack" for example. Let's plan a trip this december or early January...gwarens! Already began talks with Joey.

END MESSAGE

Can you really get paid to play Madden for 5 hours at work? That can’t be possible can it?

Rap Lyric Quote Trivia:

The brainwake, causes vessels to circulate
like constellations reflect at night off the lake
Word to the father, and Mother Earth
Seeking everlasting life through this Hell for what it's worth
Look listen and observe
and watch another C-Cypher pullin my peeps to the curb
Heed the words; it's like ghetto style proverbs
The righteous pay a sacrifice to get what they deserve

*Yeah, yeah, just like that. That's good.
