Rave: First day off since Christmas. Rant: The most productive thing I've done all day is grow my beard.
Rave: Can't wait for Saturday. Friend of mine is having a housewarming/football party. This means I get to be out of the house from about 1pm-1am and not just to be at work. I love my boys but having twins makes it very hard to have a day off so I'm taking full advantage. Unfortunately I don't get out of night duty since that's pretty much impossible, but still to be able to go have fun for awhile will be great. Even better is I get to watch the Packers go down to Atlanta and take care of business. Rant: I think my wife is hitting a wall taking care of the boys during the days. She's been home with them for about a month and a half, and still has off until April with them. The last week I've come home to her crying about 3 times and one of those night involved full on balling. I think most of it is a mix of her self image since her body changed from the pregnancy and the monotony of taking care of two babies by yourself everyday indoors since we live in Wisconsin. The boys are pretty well behaved 90% of the time but the littlest things can set her off. At least in Spring she could take them out for walks and stuff. She keeps refusing to have people come over to help but I think I'm just going to have to get her help at least once a week.
RANT: Whose primary career interests would shatter his parents? This guy's career interests would shatter his parents.
RANT: After witnessing a particular stock jump 1000+%, and keeping tabs on it for the past month or so after the spike, I decided I'd go all in. Threw up a limit buy order was off by two-tenths of a penny. This followed by another spike. Missed an easy $1,500. RANT: Told myself to buy-in no matter what, if it went under a penny again. Could have bought at $0.006 pps around the 5th of this month. I didn't buy because I ultimately wasn't paying attention during that week & missed the train. RANT: Today it sits at $0.04 pps. Another easy $13,000 gone by. I wanna fucking cry.
Rave: sorry for polluting this thread with raves but my drunk texting skills are astronomically high compared to my friends. Makin' the touch screen my bitch!
Rave: Thank God I never fucked up like this guy: I would honestly run head first into a brick wall, repeating until I developed a brain aneurysm if that happened to me. Rave: New job is going great. Rant: My truck is getting on my nerves. It starting to develop a few quirks here and there, which is really pissing me off. Rave: Truck shopping. Although I like the look of a single cab long box chevy 2500 Duramax, I need atleast an extended cab (Ive got a crew cab long box right now). Might just buy a Common Rail 24v Dodge One-Ton Dually, If not another Duramax.
I'm watching Network. Film critics paint this movie as prophetic. A decades-early prediction of the current state of editorial media. They draw parallels between Howard Beale and modern pundits like Beck and O'Reilly and Olbermann and whoever the fuck else. The pundits themselves actually invite the comparison. What bullshit. Beale was nuts and honest. Beck plays nuts and honest. Beale was a product of strife. Strife is Beck's product. All the drama with none of the genuine humanity. There is only one constant from the film to our reality. Television is, and will forever remain, a goddamn amusement park. How depressing.
RAVE: I secured a full time job even though I don't graduate until May. RAVE: Looking for houses is kind of fun, especially when you have a pretty lady helping. RANT: Not exactly my dream job but I guess they don't pay you because it's fun.
Rave: Just put my order in for a Element Case with Satin Nickle finish. Thank you Nettdata for bringing this link too my attention.
Rave: Enjoying 70 degree weather in California Rant: I'm in LA which is probably the worst place ever. Rave: San Diego on Sunday, then Tempe and Vegas next week.
Rave: Girlfriend is starting to come around to the idea of getting a dog. Double Rave: And not the kind that fit in my gym bag.
Rave: Just booked my trip to Vegas for my friends wedding next month! Double Rave: Will be the best man in said wedding! Mega Rave: Will be 5 of us throwing a bachelor party in vegas, and an old friend of mine who still works in the industry has secured the entertainment for us! Rant: Nothing!
Rant: <a class="postlink" href="http://fieldnotes.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/01/14/5841767-90-pregnancies-at-one-high-school?GT1=43001" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://fieldnotes.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2 ... ?GT1=43001</a> I went to the wrong high school. Rave: Had I gone to that school, I'd probably have 4 kids and AIDS. Good thing I didn't go there.
Rant: I am in my hotel feeling like shit courtesy of what I am calling a wild Brazilian jungle flu. The rest of the group is out at a highly rated Churrascaria. Fuck! Rant: We leave tomorrow. This trip was too short. Rave: I think I´ve still had more fun and have done more than most people in the group. A note to any gringos headed to Brazil- learn Portuguese and many doors will be opened for you. Speaking the language has hands down been the most beneficial skill I have down here. Rave/rant: Monday was my 1-year anniversary with my girlfriend. Kinda sucks when you´re a few thousand miles away and won´t see each other for awhile. Regardless, the relationship is still headed in a good direction.
Rave: For my birthday, I went with my sister to a place where the whole floor is made of trampolines, and the walls are also made of trampolines. And you can jump into a pit of foam from the trampolines. Best birthday.
