Portishead and Philadelphia Brewing Co.


 There is something about a good IPA on a cold winters night in Philadelphia that makes one think about not going out to the movies but pirate them! Tonight I watched a Porno with Carey (my esteemed other half) and it was pretty enjoyable. (Got your attention now) The Porno was a in essence a porno but it was Zack and Miri ... and I must say it was pretty good. There was only one thing that sucked, and that was that the site got shut down when the movie was 3/4 finished. The up shot was that I was just getting turned on.. (hahah.ohhhooo.heehahh ho.)

Anyway, also drinking about 4 decent (not great) New Bold IPA's is that you begin to think about what the hell you have been doing for the past few months. During this time I have been trying to find a career, find a meaning to my existence that does not include being an extremely intelligent and under appreciated burger flipper at Sonic (great food though).
I have worked as an educator/administrator for the Philadelphia Charter Schools for two years and have been out of a job since September because of new state legislation regarding para-professionals in charter schools. During these past few months I have applied to more than 75 jobs and have either been rejected because of not enough experience or being over qualified for being a college graduate. After thinking long and hard while examining my strengths and what I see as a rewarding profession, I have decided to enroll into the Philadelphia Police Academy for 2009. After weighing in all the pros and cons this seems to fit best for me. The plus side is now when I want to play cops and robbers with Carey it will be a bit more real!

The other good thing about lounging in the apartment during a wintery night whilst drinking IPA's with Carey, is that when you listen to Portishead especially, is that the music becomes even more amazing. Videogames, IPA, and Portishead = a GREAT TIME!
