So itz 2009.

Yeah right! I already scrapped a cheque with the wrong date. Haven't bin here fo a couple o weeks due to other prioritiez. My internet and cable contracts both expired at the same time, leading to unending and frustrating phone negotiations with both companies, leaving me in a quandry. They say they value my business but no matter what I want to cancel or downgrade, it's gonna cost me more to to what I've bin doin' for the past 2 years. I HAD to upgrade my net account (more gigs), no other choice, and I couldn't get the 10 or so channels I wanted on cable without spending more money (I don't need or want 200 channels...), so I decided to use my extra net gigs to download free movies, or as I like to call them, "The Happy Monk Movie Channel". Only the best, most inane or most entertaining movies in one place with no commercials. My own video store...FREE, sort of. Augghhh!

I've got a lot of things on my todo list for '09, but unfortunately they're all gonna cost instead of make money. I have to find an avenue to create income to hold on to The Monkery. Baggin' groceries comes to mind. My "freezyurassphobia", (the fear of going outside in the winter), is limiting my thought process.
