Well I owe the Federal Government about $5,000 for last year and a quarter of that for the first quarter of this year. With today's paycheck I think I have the cash to pay 2003 taxes with less than $100 to spare. Then all of my mid April paycheck is going to the 1st quarter 2004 payment. I'll be living off my credit card for about the next month (unless a nice check comes in time for April 15th), but I think I'll be able to survive the great tax raping of 2004. Once I make it through this, 20% of every paycheck is going into the savings account! (At least I'll claim that!)
For anyone in Baton Rouge reading, I'm going out to Groovin on the Grounds on Friday afternoon (opener up to Vertical Horizon). Then it's off to Port Allen to see my (high school) friend Harry's band Johnny Sketch and the Dirty Notes, who won Offbeat Magazine's (a New Orleans entertainment magazine) best new band in 2002. Harry was concertmaster in our highschool's orchestra and plays violin, harmonica and sax for the band. They play funk music, so if anyone wants to go (and yes I'd like to have some accompianment to the Baton Rouge Wank) please call my cell anytime Friday. The show starts at 10. Oh, there MIGHT be passes waiting at the door for me and three others (one of which is tentatively spoken for).
Bush needs to bust this out if he campaigns in Louisiana this fall.

Here's a good editorial from Purple & Gold Magazine about Emmert and Blanco, etc. I do stand corrected that LSU Baton Rouge was cut $8 million this year (though a $60 million increase had been requested).
The University of Washington has offered presidency to Mark Emmert. The reason he wants to take them up on it? "[A member of the LSU BOS] said Emmert has been frustrated about state funding in Louisiana and may be planning to leave because he was unable to marshal the forces to make the school a national academic powerhouse."
Thank everyone you know that voted for Kat Blanco (who has already cut increases in funding to LSU that had been promised).

People have been asking about some stuff Paul had to say on his blog, so I'll respond here.
My boy Sean makes $50,000 a year. That's a lot of dough for many a ho. Thats a rounded number, but pretty close.
My boy Sean's nickname is Big Poppa. He likes to spend G's. I love spending Gs. Especially on taxes like I will be in the next few weeks. Then I won't be spending any Gs for a long time.
My boy Sean has a college degree from LSU. I forgive him and so should you. Feel free to read a few posts back on Paul's blog to see how much an hour a UNO degree gets you!
My boy Sean went to the Sugar Bowl. You should want to touch him. These are unrelated but both are true.
My boy Sean wears glasses and looks damn sexy in them. Also true.
My boy Sean would like to meet you or your sister, cousin, niece, mom, grandmother, aunt, school secretary, or anyone female. Anyone could be THE ONE. Its getting to look that way.
In closing, did you know that my boy Sean is just a great guy looking for a great gal. Have you met my boy Sean? If you haven't, you should. I always learned in my Communications and Marketing classes that its best to have someone else sell you than sell yourself, so THANKS PAUL!

New music is up, let me think about a new color scheme.
