Rave: UFC 107 was awesome and quite profitable. Landing a 6 fight parlay padded my BetUS account nicely. Rant: I'll likely lose all my winnings during playoff football or March Madness. Rant: A guy who should/could legitimately be on To Catch a Predator is blowing up my buddy's sister's Facebook page. The best word sequence to describe him is, Rohypnol-steroids-Ed Hardy-Brah
RANT: Burned my finger. "oh, theres plenty of fuel in that Bic you're taking apart, might as well use it. Melting plastic? That's highly unlikely at this angle!" RANT: still need to type up finals for two of my classes RAVE: Both my Zippos now have a nice long flint.
RAVE: Canadian Curling Semi-finals on TV. Hot mulled wine. Home-made beef stew and biscuits. A nice, Canadian way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
Rant: Missed the fights last night because I was out of town for the weekend in the middle of no where, on top of a huge hill, in a cottage with 13 other females. You know, one of those 'yearly get togethers'......but just for ladies. Ugh. Rave: Built a snowman 6 feet tall while we were there, plus awesome sledding. Overall, handled the weekend well with the help of a bottle of whiskey.
Rant: A sincere thanks to Randy Moss for his contributions over the last few weeks, especially today where he was good for -1 pt. Rave: Last day of "vacation dieting". Basically eating & drinking whatever I want and doing zero exercise. I'm celebrating the end of the diet with some bacon wrapped boneless buffalo wings, red bliss potato skins, and the last of my Oktoberfest beer. Rave: Dexter finale tonight.
Rave: I made it through my final exam without projectile vomiting or anything else. I'm glad to come out of this class, with the most worthless professor I've ever had, with a B. I pretty much taught myself the material with the help of a weekly study group and a friend who helped in emergencies. Thanks, friends! Rant: I have the same professor for the next course in the spring. I have no other options unless I completely change my work schedule...which isn't a possibility. I'm super excited for Round 2 with this asshat.
Rave: Got two job offers this week, and waiting to hear about business school on Tuesday. It's great to have options and I am thankful for that in this economy! Doesn't mean I won't play hardball with negotiations though!
Rave: Got my Christmas gift from my Mother and Grandmother today. 42" LG LCD TV. It looks amazing, and its a huge upgrade from my old 32" tube tv.
Rant: Yesterday I had to work, so I decided to finally be nice and buy the poor saps who were also working donuts. I usually don't care about co workers enough to do this, but hey, it is the holidays, and this Kuhjäger is a charitable one. So an hour and a half goes by, and no one has touched the donuts. I wonder, what the fuck? Free donuts and you people don't want them. No wonder I wouldn't care if you people were thrown into a wood chipper. Then after two hours someone asks, "who brought the donuts?" and the manager on duty replied "Peter" who is the company president that is despised by every person in the company to the point where it is amazing there hasn't been a rebellion. My coworker replies: "oh, that is what we figured" I finally chime in with, no, it wasn't Peter, it was me, I brought the donuts. Immediately several people get up, and start stuffing their maws. What is the rant in this? I work for a company where people don't trust the higher ups enough to the point they won't eat food if they believe it was brought in by upper management.
RANT: Computer took a shit on me this weekend. Doesn't boot up or anything. RAVE: My dad knows more about computer hardware and what not. It's pretty much his hobby. 30 seconds after he concluded that it was not fixable he was on newegg hunting for a new one. I half expected him to start jerking off while he did this. The man loves computer shopping. A few minutes later he found a good laptop for about $400, shipping included. He couldn't believe it was that cheep and checked the specs expecting to find something shitty. Nope, everything checked out. Should be at his place on wednesday. He'll bring it here on friday when he comes to visit grandpa. RANT: Have to use my phone for all of my interneting this week. RAVE: I'll be able to pay him back right away this weekend. I hate when I owe my parents money.
RANT: For the record, I'd like to say FUCK VEVO. It's not even that bad at this point, but I know how shit like this works. I just want to watch Lady Gaga and rap videos for free in peace.
Rave: This afternoon before heading over to my friend's house for some hockey on the frozen pond behind his place, I used my hockey stick to clear off all the snow on my car. I've never felt more Canadian.
All I want to do is watch the end of the Dexter finale but my goddamn computer refuses to load it and I'm stuck watching it in two minute increments. This is killing me. I have a final tomorrow that I have barely studied for but that is not important at the moment, I need to know what happens. I am bugging out. Bugging. Out.
was a rave, but now a rant: managed to secure a second date that went well, including making out in the car afterwards. rant: just called to set up a third date, she doesnt want to see me again. How can you go from wanting to make out (she initiated it) to not wanting to see me again? Was the kissing really that bad? Or do girls just enjoy collecting guys emotions until there is nothing left? rant: Im still too much of an immature pussy to brush this off and not think too much of it rant: the only people who will listen to these rants is a message board that doesn't really have a choice. sorry about that. rave: felt like I needed one for balance but can't think of one. I guess it'll come to me later.
RANT: Have to fucking work Christmas day. RAVE: I work from home and it should be very very quite. No one wants to be in the hospital for Christmas. Even if it's not I won't be working that hard. RAVE: Christmas cookies!
Rant: Man, this working seven days a week - between two jobs - is wearing on me. I'm tired as shit. A lot of it has to do with Dahlia, our 8 month old Lab. Initially, she's supposed to sleep on the floor next to my side of the bed. Invariably, she ends up on the bed. Her favorite method of getting there? Climbing over top of me to wedge herself between me and my wife. Then she settles down. I get some sleep. The wife gets up to go to the bathroom. I get up to go to the bathroom. Dahlia gets up and I take her down to the courtyard to go to the bathroom. She falls asleep next to the bed. I fall asleep. My wife watches re-runs of Law and Order - which yields some odd dreams on my part. Dahlia gets back up on the bed. Climbing over top of me. She settles down, I get some sleep. About 6 a.m., Dahlia starts licking my face. Now I'm up. I say to my wife 'why is she doing this?' My wife replies: 'she's a daddy's girl.' Rave: My dog is a daddy's girl. Sigh. I'm such a sucker.
RANT Im always out of a job come Christmas. Yes, i know im a 21 year old bum. RAVE Probably getting the hoodie i asked for, and hopefully the shoes. RANT My shoes have holes in them.
