At The Buzzer!!!! The Remix

At The Buzzer !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!    The Remix

How many of us can really take the shot at the buzzer?

I can

Yes it does take a lot of skill to shoot the last shot

An abundance of nerve, courage, confidence and so much more

So how many of us can really pull the trigger “At the buzzer”

I can

How many of us can really take the last shot, the one it all comes down to?

Who amongst us all is willing to be known as the one that failed or succeeded ?

I am

You see the score is tied and everything is perfectly balanced

And It's all about the last shot

And I have the ball!

The arena gets smaller as I advance towards the front court

This is now a lesson

Life is teaching me something, this is no longer a sport

Victory to me is now an obsession

I know in my heart I will take the last shot of this game

I do realize that after-wards my life will never be the same

Passing is not an option

I am here solely for this moment

This will require all the faith in me I've got

Because

I already know will raise up from the floor with 2 seconds left and shot the shoot...

At the buzzer!

Where did all the jobs go ?

Where did all the jobs go ?

The question is actually a simple one if looked at from an overall perspective. You see in order to get what we wanted we have to give up something as well. So the answer to the question in short form is technology. As we wanted everything at our fingertips, just a touch away. What was unknown to most of us at the time was that it would be the entire manufacturing industry. If you could remember all of the huge factories that used to exist? Remember the massive manufacturing plants that used to be spread out all over the United States that mass produced cars, washing machines and so much more.

Well technological advances have made it possible for robots to perform these functions now. Whereas factories used to employ tens of thousands of people. Now most major corporations need only a “Skeleton Crew” strictly to manage, maintain and program the robots. See robots don't need health insurance nor do they take sick days or vacations. They don't have a union demanding time and a half. They simply work, break and are repaired or replaced. So you see for all of this touch technology, cell phones, flat screen TV's, insanely powerful yet extremely fuel efficient cars, we have to pay a price. The price, Downsizing another round of layoff's companies growing to immense sizes yet operating with fewer and fewer human employees. Fortunately there are structured products and services that are now and will always be “Technology” safe. But for the most part the traditional 9-5 is in a sense gone forever. If you correlate the two you should clearly see the real reason “customer service” in this country has went down the drain. The reason you fight through prompts in hopes of talking to a real person all the while being strongly urged by a robot to chose from a very limited set of options. No matter what the reason for your call is.

Th e ability to feed information, facts and objectives into a computer and receive concisely researched data is the main reason we have such extremely pricing structures everywhere, even in you r average fast restaurant. So you see in todays employment environment the only two realistic options that exist would be to A. educate and align yourself with one of the “Technology Safe” fields or professions or B. combine the newly available “World Wide marketplace” with hard work and a great idea and generate a revenue. Maybe the jobs are still here just a whole new format.

THE TAMMIES ARE HERE!

TAMMIES TIME COME ON DOWN...TOWN

Tucson Music Awards 

Wednesday Sept. 5th 7pm Realto Theatre

Free event

Fellow Tusconans tonight is the night the Tammies are here be sure and get down to the Rialto Theater tonight and see them live. The event as you know is 100% Tucson. It's when we get together as a community and vote on our own local Musicians we have right here in town. Oh yea we have some great talent right here in town. Great bands that play great music. For more info on the Tammies tonight pick up a copy of the Tucson Weekly.
              And oh yeah did anybody get to the Hotel Congress' annual HoCo Fest, a weekend-long music festival that was held right downtown Tucson last week? It was awesome! just the experience in itself was something to remember. the performances were all unique and classic. Voted one of the 10 BEST ROCK CLUBS IN AMERICA Club Congress has events of this caliber often. their mission is to both showcase and support the local artist we have right here in TUCSON. And once there don't forget to stop by the "Tap Room" the drink specials are competitively priced, at least I've heard.
         Yes so the Tammies make sure you get down to the event and support our local artist as they culminate years of hard work with with one of a kind recognition from the Tammies. Hope to see you there I wouldn't miss it for all the Grammy's, the Tammies! This years "Hall of Fame" Inductees include both Linda and her Grandfather Federico Ronstadt. Hmm... I see now as it all starts to make sense as we have a "Ronstadt' Center located right here in Tucson, also located downtown. At any rate attend the Tammies (you can always walk by the "Ronstadt Center" afterwards) and make sure you bring a camera as this is Tucson and the stars do come out at night around here! So take out a nice comfortable pair of jeans and go enjoy the music tonight.

The Desert cools down

     Can we get ready for a nice Winter? Or better yet can we bid ado to a horrible Summer? Even though this is the desert we can all agree the last 6  months have been hell to bear from a weather standpoint. It's been hot here in Tucson, real hot. But now it's September and we can expect the better side of weather in this town. Now going for a walk sounds a bit more plausible before 5 am. Labor Day came and went like that fast. At least it puts us in the Holiday mindset and few realize the hottest part of the year is over.So for fun things to do take a look at the website listed and click on a few pages. I have managed to find some really nice outings on the page for a a nice price as well. It offers a good heads up on major events as well as the chance to keep pace with the cities much smaller one's also ( which I think are lot more fun!) as they tend not to be published as much.
   Tucson is an active town it just moves around so you have to keep up. And don't forget to view the section on real Culinary & Nightlife Deals this section contains some very unique if not exotic eateries located right here in Tucson. The one thing that makes us different is our night life here. We seem to have a lot of activities here in town that don't start until after the sun sets. Another thing we have in town is a lot of Family oriented activities. As we are an overall family-based community this is very important in the cultivation of family life as we know it here in Tucson. So take a look...http://www.visittucson.org/


Tucson A truly unique place to live....
