Considering that I am a business student, I figured I should use the most over used and over emphasized word in the history of over used and over emphasized business words...today's post will be a...are you ready for this?...SYNERGY!

Yes that's right folks I will be creating a SYNERGY between my musical selection of the day and my blog posting. Cross Canadian Ragweed was one of the first country bands that I started to follow and they have some amazing stuff. Today I want to create a SYNERGISM from one of their songs (Carney Man) with my experiences at work. I will be using the lyrics of the song and then describing the activity at work, as to add a sense of SYNERGY.

*Lyric: I want a big red nose I want some floppy shoes, I want a squirty flower squirt it on you. Like all the bad clowns do

*Work: I want to work in sports I want some fancy job I want to have a title and impress you with it like all the managers do.

*Lyric: I want to juggle bowling pins in the sun I want to join the circus, the circus looks like fun

*Work: I want to multi-task simple jobs I want to be in sports, sports teams look like fun

*Lyric: I'll sit and work the gate or I can guess your weight. I'll even sell the corn dogs I don't care, as long as I am there.

*Work: I stand and place price tags, or I can guess why you have a better job than me, I'll even sell the merchandise, I don't care as long as I work there.

*Lyric: I'll hand out baseballs at the dunk tank I'll ride my funny car laughing... all the way to the bank

*Work: I'll give our VP his wardrobe even though he sucks. I'll ride the mavs van laughing...all the way to the, the, the bank?

*Lyric: Cause I'm a carney man I'm a carney man, I'm a carney man, I'm a carney man, carney man, carney man

*Work: Cause I'm a sports fan, I'm a sports fan, I'm a sports fan, I'm a sports fan, sports fan, sports fan

*Lyrics: The human cannonball I'll rise above it all. Up higher than the trapeze I can fly, oh god I'm gonna die

*Work: The part time worker who works 50 hours a week, I'll still work harder than your employees. Oh god I better get OT

*Lyrics: I am a carney worker I make two bucks, every hour come to find out ... this job it really sucks

*Work: I'm a part timer I make not nearly enough come to find out for some damn reason I still love my job

*Lyric: Cause I'm a carney man I'm a carney man I'm a carney man I'm a carney man carney man carney man
*Work: Cause I'm a sports fan, I'm a sports fan, I'm a sports fan, I'm a sports fan, sports fan, sports fan

*Lyrics: You need a corn dog I can tell You need a corn dog I can tell I'm a carney man

*Work: You need a Dirk Nowitzki Jersey T-shirt I can tell you need a Dirk Nowitzki Jersey T-shirt, I tell I'm finally a Sports team employee!

Well from the beginning of the "song" you might have thought that I hate my job or the crappy things I have to do every now and again. But a wise man (my father) once told me that I have the ability to make any situation a bad one or a good one. The outlook I take everyday at my job is that I will work as hard as I possibly can everyday, no matter how mundane the tasks presented to me are. And one day someone will notice that they are wasting money by having me do the things I do and then, and just then, I WILL get to ride in my funny car all the way to the bank!

you might be a bachelor if...

**Musical Suggestion: Reckless Kelly. http://www.recklesskelly.com/tunes.htm**

My favorite Reckless Kelly songs are; Vancouver, I still do,

Wild Western Wind Blown Band, and Break my Heart Tonight.

I have lived on my own for 10 months now. You may say I live in "bachelorville". Since Jeff Foxworthy has the 'you might be a redneck if' stuff, so I figured I could do some you might be a bachelor if, and all from my experiences.

You might be a bachelor if...

...your energy saving strategy while in your apartment, involves less clothes in the summer and more clothes in the winter.

...there are multiple bags of trash on your balcony because you are too lazy to take them to the dumpster.

...you wash dishes not cause the sink is full of them but because the "good" knife is dirty.

...you make your bed only before you go out on the weekends.

..."de-smelling" the apartment involves lighting a candle and pouring some bleach down the sink.

...there's that thing in the fridge that you don't want to touch cause you forgot what it is.

If any of these apply to you (they definitely apply to me) then you might be a bachelor. If you are not a bachelor tell your wife or girlfriend, I'm sorry for you and I admire their compassion.

Oh by the way apparently J.R. Giddens isn't made of gold...theLobos lost...I'm sad.

Go Cowboys...I'm happy!
