I have a plan, which is good. I just have to stick to it. I'll probably write more on that soon, just not now.
I don't have a plan for this blog. I still want to write, but I'm not about writing in 2008 like I did in 2007.
Honestly, part of me really wants to go back to just putting my thoughts about sports and the sports world on paper. I used to do No Load with my brothers. Maybe I'll just do that now on this.
I don't know yet, but I'm seriously thinking about it. I'll know this week. I have to find a new place to live, get settled in, and by then, I'll know what I'm doing with this blog.
2008 equates to lots of change for me again. Good change. There is no more SBRC. But there's going to be a better SBRC. Soon. I'll be back to work soon, earning money again. But doing it in a job that I believe in, and that will be something new. And I'll be living somewhere new, again (
So why not change the blog up. I could just stop doing it. Maybe that's what will happen. But probably not. I always have something to say or think about something, like this absolutely rambling thought that I wrote in my journal as soon as I checked into my hotel tonight......
it really is a shame what's happened with hotels. like so many other things inMaybe some things never change.
this country, they "appear" to be so nice, to have gotten so better. and yes,
on the surface, they're nice. but perception is one thing, and reality is
another, and they're all RIPOFFS.
no longer can a non-business traveler just hit the road, go somewhere, and stop and find a reasonable, normal, comfortable and "AFFORDABLE" hotel.
all these chains, and new chains, have done nothing but undergone
makeovers that cater to the business traveler. and, it's fine if you're a
business traveler, and you're not paying for your hotel. or your meal. or your
breakfast. but when you're pulling of a highway in east bumble, Alabama, and
all you can find are $139, $149 and $159 dollar Hilton Garden Suites and Hampton
Innes, and Comfort Suites that are made over from normal $89 hotels to $139
RIPOFFS, well it's a joke.
like everything else in this country, just a fraud. a perception of niceness
masking another way to steal money from people.
i mean, unless you want to stay in an absolute rats nest, you can no longer
drive anywhere and find a respectable, pretty nice $89 or even $99 hotel.
they're all snazzy now, trying to bend over backwards for the business travelers
with their fancy business centers, and fancy soaps (which they throw out after
one use and waste money and then pass the cost onto the customer anyway) and
appear all nice, like mini Las Vegas hotels. but it's done with zero regard
for cost-conscious, common traveler. it's a joke!
and to be staying at a place that is $149, and it's not even a free continental
breakfast?? makes me sick!!!
