U2 tickets for their upcoming spring North American tour went on sale
and--surprise surprise--I didn't buy any. Although I did make a
half-hearted attempt at a couple of general admission tix to the Philly
show (their closest gig), I quickly gave up when I saw how bogged down the TicketBastard
site was. Meh.
So, the question is: why am I not doing something ridiculous to
get tickets, like standing in line for 24 hours (Joshua Tree tour),
paying a scalper $300 a pop (Zoo TV tour), or sitting out in the
sub-zero temps to get close to the stage (Elevation tour)? There are a
couple of reasons, I suppose. First, I ain't exactly pulling down a
steady paycheck these days, so maybe I shouldn't splurge (I am sorta
getting married too and that isn't cheap). And second, well, I've seen
enough shows before and for some reason I'm okay with not seeing them
this go-round. Sure, I still dig them, but it won't kill me not to see
them. I'll be alright.
Oh, and the third reason: they're touring
in the States again in the
fall.
Hehehe.

Speaking
of taxation, yesterday I finally recieved my "2005 IRS Tax Calendar
For Small Businesses and the Self Employed" that I sent away for
last month (yes, I am a primo A-1 top-notch dork).
Today's
super-important tax
tip straight from the calendar:
"Don't slip up: Keep up
with payment deadlines. EFTPS offers a 'payment scheduling' feature
which automatically makes payments according to your schedule. Also,
file Form 940 for 2004 if you deposited all FUTA tax when due."
Excellent advice all the way around...

Q: How many Bush Administration officials does it take to screw in a
light bulb?
A: None. There is nothing wrong with the light bulb; its conditions are improving every day. Any reports of its lack of incandescence are a delusional spin from the liberal media. That light bulb has served honorably, and anything you say undermines the lighting effect. Why do you hate freedom? |

Glenn: "Hey, what do you got behind
your back?"
Beth: "Nothing."
Glenn:
"Are those my cinnamon candies?"
Beth:
"Mmm, maybe."
Glenn: "Those are for me--to help
me stop smoking."
Beth: "Well, I need them to help me
stop eating."

SPEAKING OF LIGHT BULBS.
|
WIZARDS.

Idea: I'm going to hang that tax calendar on the other side of my den.
That way, I can write off even more of my home's square footage on my
taxes next year. Yessiree, I'm one brilliant motherfucker.)

I'm really going through sports withdrawal lately. No NHL, no more
football, baseball hasn't started, and my Virginia Cavaliers suck wind
(11-9 overall and 2-7 in the conference--no bubble for us). I
was--repeat--was starting to get into the Wizards, but I decided not to.
Hell, I have enough losing teams in my life.
(That being said: Go
Nationals.)
