Ladies First. Kinda.

Morning, peeps! It is now Monday which means it is the beginning of another work week. Hoo-ray. Cover your ass, the excitement will be deafening. Well as you know, on Friday I made the announcement that I am finally putting the band together. I have space for five more members, including a wildcard member. A wild card member, you ask? Why do I need one of those? Well peeps, I have come to an important decision. I have decided to open up the slots of AB2 to women. Yeah, I know it’s a stretch, but S Club 7 worked, right? Oh, shut up. S Club 7 ruled! Oh, and Rachael Stevens was tight banging. Or maybe like a Rebelde.

Mmmm, hells yeah. I don’t know enough hot chicks to make it work (Well three, and one is jailbait so it almost works out!) and even if I did I would have to put up with them on tour and I don’t believe in that. Even still, I want the best of the best in AB2. That means that acceptance into the band will be based on talent, although we want to try and fit the boy-band mold for the open slots. There is a formula and science to creating a boy band, peeps.

So this is how it is going to work (hopefully). Send your resume to Lo_chachi@yahoo.com with your skills, previous boy-band employers (there will only be a background check if you were employed by a previous boy-band) and awards and honors. If possible, to speed up the process, please send a short video file of about 30 seconds to a minute of your funky fresh dance moves and singing prowess. Those that do automatically make it to the next round, depending on talent. I hope to have members in line by January/February, so we can release our first single via YouTube in March. It will be a cover of ‘Girls on Film’ by Duran Duran, followed by an original track called ‘Luvin’ You (Oh, So Nice)’. Trust me; it will be the mad notes. Stay tuned more details as I think them up!

Well, with that being said that was the main big announcement I had. The Chachi’s still exist (Thought I forgot about that, didn’t you?!) and they are coming in December. Also, I need to get cracking on Douchebrawl 2007 because I am going to start it in February this year so I can have time for more people to vote. Last years 5 day thing was good, but it could be bigger. I will have more information as soon as I can peeps!

Before I go, I want to speak about something. Over the last few weeks, I have been told my posts have been rather negative about women, politics and life in general. Well, there is a difference between being negative and being realistic. Think about this: is anyone ever seen as negative for getting a prenuptial agreement? Sometimes they are but that is being realistic. Knowing that sometimes shit doesn’t work out is being smart. People get divorced at about a 41% clip (they like to round up that half number) so it is smart to make sure you have a clean break. That is better than having a nasty court battle because you were TOO OPTIMISTIC in thinking that dude wouldn’t bang his 19 year old secretary or your wife wouldn’t play ‘clean the pipes’ with the pool guy. It’s realistic to get a prenup, just like it is realistic to know that your job is a job. The odds of you being with an employer forever are slim. Marriages last as do jobs but at a higher measure than usual neither one lasts. I know that at anytime my employer could chalk it up as a loss and eliminate me. I have been there and seen them do it at my last two jobs. People say that at 26 I am jaded about too much and need to be a little more optimistitc. I AM optimistic. I believe my boy band will work. I believe I will get the work I have always wanted. I believe in life after love. I just don’t believe that companies give a fuck about people anymore and people couldn’t give a rat’s ass about their company. That is a true statement. Company loyalty is gone and employees killed it. Because we refuse to work for lower wages, they move jobs overseas. Whose fault is that? Since employees average a job every two years, companies don’t like to invest resources in training or compensation because trends show they will leave. Whose fault is that? That is neither a pessimistic or optimistic view, it is reality. I just had to get that out.

Man I hate ending posts on a bad note. I will be back soon. Here is some boy band goodness for you.

Stay up, peeps.

Live, Laugh and Love.
