Unemployment (3)

Out of cash, out of well-fitting trousers, Out of soap and apples, Out of pencils, out of my keeper’s Reach. I wish to set myself afire But may not. This morning (Last night) in the common room I watched the administration Of oxygen to one who had none And I would not sit down, demanding To do so. Later I happened on a man At the piano, and though I have happened five or six times On men at the piano, None moved his hand like this Within the keys. I sat beside him, looking for a sound A chest sound. Not listening; I don’t listen Anymore. I make music But I don’t listen. By Mark Levine.

Abney's Five.

Every day, there are a million interesting interactions happening in the world.  Most Americans focus on the .01% most interesting ones, like what size butt implants the Basketball Wives are buying.  I'mma bring you the news and what I think about it, Abney style.  Without further ado, here are my 'top five':

1.  Unemployment- 96,000.  The number of US jobs added nationwide between July and August.  You know what Abney thinks?  If you have a job, keep that shit.  

2.  Racist DNC Tweets- Here's a good one: @mattcorn4, "Obama is just like another loudmouth nigger, just sitting on his ass waiting for his welfare check and complaining about nothing at all!"  What Abney thinks:  Pretty certain that out of the 44 Presidents we've had, their Presidential wage disqualifies them for welfare.  @mattcorn4, 100% certain you're stupid.

3.  Tornado Country?  On September, Saturday 8th, New York experienced two brief tornados in the city of Manhattan.  What Abney thinks:  The flood of Mayan believers passing out flyers in the Times Square tunnel begins........now!  #endoftheworld2012

4.  Chipotle's New Chain- Steven Ells, the owner of Chipotle, is bringing his latest "watch us make your food," Asian-infused chain, Shophouse, to DC Chinatown! What Abney thinks: anything the creator of THE best guacamole (and chicken soft taco...and burrito bowl) makes is lined with gold.  #fatkidmoments

5.  Old Boys Club?  Condoleeza Rice and financier Darla Moore became the first two women admitted to Augusta National Golf Club, which hosts the Masters.  What Abney thinks: We're in the 21st century, Augusta National Golf Club Men, yall are terrible,  you know you late as hell.
