F-L-O-R-I-D-A S-T-A-T-E.

It's 3:17 in the morning and I'm wide awake.

It's been about 20 minutes since I got back home from a very uneventful night at the Grove and around this time is when my insomnia kicks in. I'll sit on this computer for hours, like a voyeur, just clicking different profiles, all for no real reason.

That's my new thing, facebook; I'll sit there for hours, checking useless stuff out. The funny thing is, that about a week ago I was deleting my myspace account because I couldn't decide what current song or unoriginal classic I'd use as my profile song, only to see that facebook is now offering music players to 'myspace' your facebook.

In the news today was a frightening announcement made by current Florida State University's President, T.K. Wetherell. In a statement released sometime Thursday, Mr. Wetherell stated that enrollment at the University will be frozen due to poor state budgeting, in a nutshell.

Because South Floridians can't afford their property taxes and demand excessive cutbacks, students and teachers will get fucked, royally.

As an amateur Realtor I came to a conclusion that others should address. When a person qualifies for a $500,000 home, they must pay taxes on $500,000. When a person can't afford that, they should move to home in their price range. It's that simple.

Let's keep our fingers crossed. Maybe the Sunshine State will realize what a disgrace it will be when other prestigious state-funded universities have to close their doors too. God forbid the new upper-level manager at Circuit City can't afford his/her 5 bedroom, 4 bath home.

Cheers,
Victor
