Good luck this weekend to those who are racing, bearing life's trials, or trying to bang someone's grandma. Give it your A game.

If you watched the Versus coverage, right when George was caught, it cut to a helicopter shot and you can see me running next to George, along with all the graffiti we drew on the road.

Yeah, well if I crash somebody's friggin going down with me, that's all I can say. Of course that's not saying much, because if I crash it's usually because some other pinhead did something stupid. At least that's how it's always happened so far. I may be slow but I have yet to actually cause a crash.

Got to go to a meeting where people wore suits yesterday, it was very strange. I felt like I was at IBM in the 60's, with all these stiff blue suits around..

And guess what the buzz-word of the day was? "Synergy"

I can't believe the **** management gets away with. Can't wait to get away with it myself... I'll "empower" workers by getting them to do my job and all kinds of fun stuff. Oh and I'll get paid to say "synergy" as well. It will be fun. I'll probably buy a Litespeed or Serotta with all the $$.
