Rave: I spent yesterday at the zoo and while it's pretty sad that I don't find it nearly as fascinating as I did as a child, this ocelot was the most magnificent thing I've seen in a long time. She had a very badly injured foot when she came to the zoo and she's recovered but still walks with a wicked limp.
Rave: Both dogs are vaccinated to the gills with clean bills of health. The vet couldn't get over their teeth, especially the little one. Gleaming white, and in excellent condition. It makes me happy when they're healthy. Small-ish Rant: Big guy is NINETY THREE POUNDS! Holy Christ, he's never been that heavy before. He's around 5-10lbs overweight, but most of it is just him filling out (he'll be two in a few months). He's a big dog. Rant: Expensive! Dogs are giant black holes that suck money like a vacuum sucks dirt. Rave: Dogs rule and I'd go bankrupt to keep them safe and happy.
I know this really puts a damper on the I'm an alcoholic thread.... Rave: I'm heading to Boston tomorrow morning for a weekend of drinking more craft beer than you can fit in a hot air baloon. I will be attending the American Craft Brew Fest. Click the link for a list of brewers and beers coming. Anyway, that is 395 different beers, from 90 different breweries. I haven't been this excited for an event in years! Rant: I have to get up at 5am to go to the airport tomorrow. Stupid Dulles in the middle of Stupid Nowhere. Stupid Reagan National, and their expensive flights.
I WAS 4 REP POINTS AWAY FROM BEING OVER 1000 THIS HAS RUINED A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF MY EVENING AND I'M TOTALLY NOT BEING FACETIOUS AT ALL.
Rave: After two months of being good and staying relatively clean of alcohol and only the odd drink here or there enough is enough and the orange monster is being let out a few weeks early. Time too get fucked up.
RAVE: I loved Atlanta. Despite the sweltering heat. RANT: Back in the PacNW, among the passive aggressive fucktards. Sigh.
Rave: I now own my condo Double Rave: I financed closing costs and over-estimated what I'd need. So, the bank decided that I could get my deposit back. Getting any cash money back at closing is a very rare occurrence. Regular Rave: On my way home from work tonight, I'm buying myself a bottle of Balvenie 15 yr. By far my favorite single malt. I think after waiting so long for this place, I've earned it.
RANT: WHERE THE FUCK DOES THAT REFEREE GET OFF FROM KEEPING THE UNITED STATES OUT OF THE NEXT ROUND. I HAVE REFFED SOCCER FOR ONLY 4 YEARS OF MY LIFE AND I WOULD'T HAVE EVEN CALLED ANYTHING THERE! GO FUCK YOURSELF SLOVENIA! Rave: We tied the game, and still have a chance of moving on. Also, the game was entertaining as fuck to watch, and I got to skip out on work to watch it. Sweet. Rave: River rope swing tonight with friends, beer, and ladies. Rave: Broke a 7 month dry streak with an extremely attractive girl. No slumpbusters for me!
Rant After rescheduling the tour once already, Simon and Garfunkel have postponed the tour indefinitely. Goddamn, I was pumped to see this show! Rant Ok, I get it, it's been raining for weeks I can deal with that. Hell, I don't even remember what its like to have nice weather anymore. But seriously, if it has to rain non-stop can it please be warmer than 10 fucking degrees?!
Rant: I don't know if I could make a bigger ass out of myself if I was trying, sometimes. Rave: Going to my crazy ex's place tonight. She's still hot, and I'm pretty sure she only invited me for one reason.
Rave: I am now the official photographer for our company. I will be doing all the photography for our website and catalog. And it entails a raise. And not having to deal with customers the entire week. Rave:To celebrate I am going to get some booze, my rods, and sit here till sundown fishin:
Rave: Trying to get a job at a new company. A former colleague that works there gave me an estimated potential salary range, and it's about 35% more than what I currently make. I hope this works out.
Rave: Got the job! It's a sales job, and I'm gonna be talking to people I don't know every day, which I hate, but it's a fucking job! Rave: Lakers won! Both of my predictions were right. Rant: Gonna be working 6 days a week. Long hours. Guess it's time to stop being a lazy, drunk college kid. Shit.
RANT: Wore my hair in pigtails today. Had multiple people call them handlebars. Will not wear pigtails again.
Sorry for two work related rants so close together ... Rant: Please for the love of god, know the specifics of your car before you come in asking for parts. I am glad you know you have a 4 cylinder, but there are 3 different ones in your car. Atleast bring in your insurance papers, so i can figure it out for you, i really dont mind helping people out, actually i rather enjoy my job, but atleast give me the tools to help you. I just came back from a week holiday a month ago, and i am already fucking tired of retard fucking customers. Sometimes i want to grab their hair and start banging there head into the counter. I cant wait for my wedding in 2 months, i took 2 weeks off after just to be able to take another holiday. Then probably 2 weeks off in December for our honeymoon.
Rant: GET OVER THE REP THING PEOPLE!!! Jesus Christ, it seems like every thread now contains a bitch from someone that they lost rep or a fight between two people trying to out rep-whore each other. People, you're fighting about REP, which is like fighting over the Mardi Gras beads they throw off balconies during the parade, but less tangible. Do what rational adults do, which is to go and post pictures of yourself or your girlfriend in one of the naked threads.
Rant What's with the obsession with rep points in here lately? Sounds like people aren't getting enough sun.
Rant People ranting about people ranting about rep ranting about people. Okay but seriously. Birthday weekend is looking up to be a complete shittastic weekend. Can't fucking wait for tomorrow when the likelihood of me going out tomorrow is slim to none.
