Great news! Cnn.com has released a list of the 25 best cities for Americans to find a job. Considering our current economic crisis, this list couldn’t be better news…
Or could it…
Topping the list, none other than beautiful Sioux Falls, South Dakota!
Like we didn’t already know that, though. Who hasn’t spent hours online viewing the beautiful sites of Sioux Falls, SD? It’s #1 position is a given.
As if Sioux Falls, SD isn’t tempting enough, the number two position is held by none other than Rapid City, South Dakota!
Heck yes!! A twofer!
Positions three and four are cities that you and I have only dreamed of relocating to: Idaho Falls, Idaho, and Bismark, North Dakota.
Yes, you read that correctly: you have the choice of moving to either South OR North Dakota while still staying in the top 5 of best cities to find a job.
Jackpot!
I won’t list great every city in this list of 25, as I’m sure you’re already drooling and/or packing your bags.
The insensitive jerk that I am, though, I will offer a teaser list of the remaining cities:
- Morgantown, West Virginia
- Casper, Wyoming
- Billings, Montana
- Ames, Iowa
- Portsmouth, New Hampshire
- Provo, Utah
Go ahead, pinch yourself. This isn’t a dream. This is reality, baby. America’s finest is calling your name.
“Come to me. I have a job waiting for you,” softly whispers North Dakota. Her seduction is matched only by her beauty.
This article might be the best news I’ve ever read.
There is hope after all.
I used to drink a lot. Whenever my friends and I were drinking and a rockin’ 80’s song would play, everyone in the party inevitable began to move:
- Heads would bob.
- Lips moved to the lyrics.
- Feet tapped.
- Smile muscles were exercised.
- Sneaky comments were made: “Oooh, I love this song…haha” (jokingly said but seriously meant).
It was then that I realized an important life fact: most people are undercover 80’s music fans but are too proud to admit it. Under the influence of the “truth serum,” their true feelings for the decade of glam, guitar solos, and hair will surface.
Soon after, I came out of the 80’s closet. I suggest you do the same.
It’s liberating.
The music rocks, stop denying it.
Accept it.
Live it.
Love it.
Cuz you know you need it.
And then you’ll be able to openly enjoy your love of a great decade of jams.
It’s official:
Hugh Jackman is named People Magazine’s sexiest man alive for 2008.
I had my money on somebody else. Somebody a bit less famous…perhaps a sweet new beard…and a trendy pair of specs.
Oh well, maybe next year…
…
VOTE BILL CECCHINI FOR PEOPLE MAGAZINE’S SEXIEST MAN ALIVE FOR 2009!!!
If I may…
You’re is a contraction. It stands for “you are.” In context: “You’re my best friend.“
Your is a pronoun. It indicates possession. In context: “I am your best friend.“
I don’t know why, but I’m STILL blown away at the absolute disregard that people have for grammar/spelling online. Dictionary.com is a helpful site. Google will even correct your spelling errors.
Perhaps I’m being a bit anal, but elementary grammar/spelling errors make a person look, well, elementary.
When things seem most out of control…He is most in control! We cannot proclaim to be believers in the Sovereignty of God and then freak out at the first sign of the wheels coming off!
Understand this…no matter what happens…no matter WHAT happens…God is still God…He still reigns…He is not worried…we shouldn’t be either!
-Perry Noble
I’ve bit my tongue long enough.
I’m blown away, and I exaggerate not, at how Hollywood has come together as one to fully support the Democrats while throwing Republicans under the bus.
I know Hollywood is dominated by a bunch of liberal socialists (redundant?), but this is incredible.
If you’re a Democrat, you’re cool…hip…smart. You laugh at the Republicans. You look at them like they’re a bunch of drooling idiots. Don’t believe me? Turn on any main stream somewhat political TV show, watch an award show, etc.
If you’re a republican, you’re old-fashioned, living in the dark ages, and have a 3-foot stick shoved up your…
Our country is becoming sooooooooo liberal. It makes me sick.
I’ve never seen such support of a presidential candidate/president elect. T-shirts, parties, bumper stickers, people crying out of joy…it’s amazing. And when I think of what he stands for and I see how people still LOVE him, I’m actually scared.
Personally, I don’t want this new government’s version of “change.” I want to be left alone. I want less government. Much less.
It’ll be a fun 4 or more years. I’m actually excited, but that’s just because I’m a bit sick in the head. I’ll admit, McCain would prob have been a bit of a bore. I see nothing but adventure under the Obama administration.
None of what I said has ANYTHING to do with my Christian faith. Christian DOES NOT should not equal Republican.
Also, I fully support President Bush just as I will fully support President Obama. He is the leader that is appointed over me and I accept and respect that.
Edit: I echo what my pastor Greg Surratt wrote:
- I will pray for him and our country.
- I will assume his motives are good, giving him the benefit of the doubt.
- I will not speak ill of him, even if I don’t always agree with him.
- I will cast off the spirit of cynicism, and be a positive force for good.
I’m home alone right now. I feel my weakest and most vulnerable when I’m by myself.
These are the moments that I need to shine.
And although I feel alone, I know I am not.
I am never alone

I certainly don’t mean this post to be offensive. If it offends you, though…well, then it offends you.
I am sick and tired of calling [large] companies for techinical support and:
- Receiving “help” from someone who doesn’t speak my language
- Dealing with the phone noise that is produced when the person on the other end of the phone is on the opposite side of the world
- Receiving “help” from someone who is technically incompetent
- Receiving “help” from someone who couldn’t care less about their job
- Dealing with lengthy “press 1 for…, press 2 for…” recordings, only to repeat ALL OF THE SAME information to the tech once she fields my call
Big companies (HP, Microsoft, Dell, Verizon, etc): your horrendous excuse for techinical support is nothing short of a slap in the face. I do everything I can to avoid the hellish experience of calling you guys. Sacrifice some of your next billion and put it towards a decent tech support department.
What awful business. You should be ashamed.
Just when I thought that Microsoft had surrendered the commercial business to Apple. Fantastic job, fellas!
