Rant: Same as above, but not realising all the self doubt and loathing was a result of that, as opposed to anything being wrong. I really hope she's ok after the things I said.
Rave: Guess who found himself a bitchin' MMA gym?? That's right, I'm gonna be fucking shit up in no time. These guys definitely know their shit, too. It's definitely not some fucking health spa or Gold's Gym full of assholes in Under Armour who don't squat properly. Check out the awesome! Rave: I went to the Humane Society on Saturday and fell in love with a 2-year old chocolate lab/hound mix. Definitely mixed with something small like a beagle, because she's only 40 pounds. Which is perfect for my small apartment. She's also fully housebroken, for the win. I plan on going back this weekend and getting her, if all goes well. Rave: New job starts tomorrow, at well over minimum wage. Not bad for a cool job with limited experience and only an Associate's degree. Rave: My FPS Freeks come in by the end of the week, hopefully. That, in tandem with my new Turtle Beach X11 headset, is gonna make my Modern Warfare 2 experience that much more awesome. All I need now is a rich uncle to die of cancer and I can get a new 1080p Samsung to complete the package. Sometimes, it's just totally awesome being me.
Rant: For instant assclenching terror, add black ice to a morning commute. And I drive a Miata. If anybody can think of a car less equipped to drive in cold weather, I'd like to know.
RANT: Just got back from taking our Pom/Husky to the vet, turns out the limp he developed a couple days ago is because he tore some muscles around his knee and now requires 1500$+ worth of surgery... Now we feel like shit because we waited so long to find out [he was just limping, never yelped, we thought he sprained something], and he also took a piss on the floor at the vet and they're further concerned about his organs now because his piss looked dodgy. Fuck.
Rave: I'm eligible for an early cell phone upgrade. Rant: I've been anxiously awaiting the release of the iPhone on Verizon. This early upgrade is going to make it impossible for me to hold out since my phone is a piece of shit. Rave: Making the 45 minute trip to the closest Verizon store tonight, fuck this phone. There are a few authorized retailers closer than that but after dealing with them with my current POS phone I refuse to do business with them again. I'd just order a phone online but I want to have a chance to play with them first to decide what I really want. Rant: I don't work on Friday after all. I had big plans for that extra day off I was going to get. Rave: Four day weekend!
Rave: A ridiculous weekend. Notably, I went to a rave featuring Steve Angello of Swedish House Mafia fame (by far one of the best house/electro-house DJs out there, and he's still not as commercialized as Guetta). Rant: My best friend is such a corny, gushy loser on mdma. It was his first time getting high... but he was very annoying. He spent 2 hours text messaging all our friends and telling them that he "accepts them" and encourages their life choices. I just wanted to put on some Buddha Bar and chill out/sleep... When I'm high I don't like having my music interrupted but he kept on turning it off to give me his latest tidbit of worldly knowledge. Rant: Apparently I'm a great writer and since I've already had my stuff optioned, I should definitely pursue it. It isn't a rave because a) he holds no credibility in my eyes since his mass text spree. It actually discouraged me. and b) Obviously I'm pursuing that path, I've had my scripts optioned what-the-fuck else would I do! Rave: That "holy-shit-I'm-so-turned-on" look in my girlfriend's eyes was well worth it all though. It was also her first time getting high. Rant: I removed her titty pics from the booby thread because some people* are creeps. Maybe some other time. * Spoiler whatsinaname
This is the ultimate naive 21 year old rant, but wow, before now, I never realized how much taxes blow.
Rave: I started listening to Christmas music today. I just couldn't wait until Friday. Rant: Crystal reports is the bane of my existence. Thank God this is a three day week.
Rant: Got cancelled for weather today. Rant: Will probably get cancelled tomorrow. Rant: Won't be able to finish Primary until after thanksgiving. Planning over leave won't happen. AWESOME MEGA RAVE!!! The Commodore gave me 7 perfect grades on my two flights with him. It's unheard of to even get two out of him because he's a stickler for procedures. I got 7. F-in A Cotton!!!!
Rant: Damn. One of my co-workers just dropped dead last night. 38 years old, husband, father of two. He was the type of dude that was always willing to put things aside to help you out, always greet and acknowledge you with a smile no matter when, remind you of how "awesome" the Redskins were, and sit back and talk shit with you. It kinda makes me want to cry if I think about what type of person this man was and the family that's left without him. So tonight's beers are for you Marlon, I'm sincerely blessed to have worked with you, share a laugh with you, and you will be remembered. And I know you always wanted to die with knowing the Cowboys won, and they did just that yesterday. Peace and bless to those you left behind.
Rant: My ex. has been coming around on and off for visits… She has a boyfriend which is bad but what makes it even worse is I’m starting to get feelings for her again. We have been on and off for almost 9 years and I seriously thought that I was over her but now I’m not so sure.
Thanks to all the snow in Seattle, its fucking impossible to get anywhere. I've been sitting in my car since 4 pm. It is now 5:30. I am, at most, 10 blocks from my office. I seriously have to piss.
Rave: I don't live in the city. Rave: I drive a lifted 4x4 pickup with heated seats and autostart. Wintertiiiime and the livin's easy...
Rave: Just booked 3 nights in Vegas for New Years Eve. Oh baby. If anyone knows of cool (and somewhat reasonably priced) shit to do for NYE in Vegas, rep or PM me. For the sake of argument, I considered some of the things I saw for $150 that give you 5 hours of open bar between 9pm and 2am to be reasonable, bordering on half-decent.
Rave: Just downloaded Kanye's new album for $4 off of Amazon.com. It's one of their Black Friday deals...good until midnight, guys. Rolling Stone gave the album a 10/10, so it's probably worth at least checking out.
Rave: DROID X. This phone is light years ahead of my Blackberry. I've only had it for a few hours but so far I'm loving it. It's huge as a motherfucker though, which will take some getting used to.
Rave Everything is coming up Millhouse!!! Ugh... Chargers! Man if this team was healthy, they'd be scary.
Rave: Google sound like a pretty awesome employer once you're in. They've historically had some barriers to entry (technology focus that doesn't really match my professional history, some barriers to entry for senior resources without major academic or Google specific experience) - but they've currently got a recruitment push on to increase their global workforce by almost 10% and they're listing some jobs that I'm actually a pretty good fit for. Just had a short but pretty positive email exchange with someone about the gigs I applied for. Could actually be promising. Rave: Have an interview on Monday for another gig that I am 85%/90% likely to get. It pays almost as much as the Google gig. Rant: Monday job is a 6 month contract, likely to extend - but still contractor around public holidays, ych. Rant: Google job is in Sydney. Google is probably the only employer I would even consider moving to Sydney for unless there was a phenomenal amount of money on the table Rave: Google money isn't phenomenal, but it's enough that I'd be pretty happy, even in Sydney.
