Jesse and I have been saving up for a house for quite some time now and let me tell you friends, saving for a big purchase like a house is no easy task. We have discussed ways we might make money for a down payment on a house quickly like winning the lottery, or inventing something everybody will need to have, but both of those plans haven't panned out for us yet. We have a new plan though and it seems anybody can do it these days. What is it you ask? It's simple. We just have to write a catchy song and put it on You Tube. The idea is foolproof.

We should have picked up on this strategy sooner. After all, the "Macarena" came on the scene in 1994, along with every other song played at my Bat Mitzvah. Then, late last year, "Gangnam Style" seemed to be playing everywhere. Even my mom learned the dance moves. And today, a new hit song created by a Pakistani fishmonger from London is giving "Gangnam Style" a run for its money. The song, "One Pound Fish," was written to get people to buy, what else? Fish.

So, if people can write about pretty ladies, trendy and hip people, and selling fish for one pound, I am positive Jesse and I can write a song, put it on You Tube, and be able to buy a house by the end of the month. Like I said, foolproof, right? Who's with me?
