Rave: Thank you Nettdata, I am already spreading it like a coke head who just got some blow after a few months absence.
RAVE: it's Thanksgiving! Turkey, football, and beer. RANT: I get to spend it alone this year, since we played today and have an early game Friday, and don't have time to travel with the rest of the family. Turkey will be in the form the Hungry Man XL tv-dinner variety. RAVE: I get to watch the Packers AND the Longhorns. What else do you need??
Fuck Weber, fuck Marx, fuck Gilman, fuck Engels, fuck Blau, fuck Homans, and fuck me for leaving studying for this exam until 2 days before. I am so unbelievably fucked. Rave: In my first year, I read The Communist Manifesto for fun, which has helped me considerably here. Rant: UFC 108 is falling apart. Staph infection and injuries reign supreme this year, I guess.
Rant: Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. Tomorrow I cook for my girlfriend and her parents (who are in town from Japan). Girlfriend is 24, her parents are 47 and I am 38. Girlfriend says her parents aren't too hip about her dating a Gaijin who is closer to their age then hers. Rave: I could give a fuck what they think of me, all I know is the couch they sit on tomorrow is the same place I have sodomized their daughter. Pass the gravy.
RAVE: Only the true redneck would think of such things. So happy to have you around, toy. RAVE: Phish. RANT: Bugged out for a little moment in the middle of the show. I haven't had that kind of thing happen in a very long time. Heart racing, woozy, eyes swimming, wanting to puke--all in one big sudden rush. Ugh. And it was all brought on by them riffing into some real musical harshness and super flickering light show. I looked at my friend at one point as she covered my ears for me and said, "I just want them to make it stop" and closed my eyes until I heard the strains of the song finally changing. RAVE: Recovered nicely and went on to dance the night away. RANT: I think my friend had sex right next to me during the show. In fact I'd say I'm 90% sure of it. She's like a one stop USO.
Fuck you black hearted bastards at Proactive cutomer service. The wife stopped the automatic withdraw and orders of their towel bleaching product. They send more and charge us. Sends it back wanting a refund. They send info that aparently this ain't happening. So she gets on the phone with them and gets no where, even asks for their supervisor, until the wife says "we can't afford it any more, my husband had his hours at work cut and we'd rather pay our mortge then your product" She's in tears at this point. She's under enough stress then to get shit from ungreatful asshole headset jokeys. Pricks Lone rave:In laws stuffing will be the shit.
RAVE: Google Wave invite! RANT: Whatever username you want isn't available, you have to add a fucking number. RAVE: ScrewYourNumber is available. Wee! I'm happy again.
Rave Getting a "new" car tomorrow (to replace my now accordion-esque Buick), a 2003 Chevy Impala. I know, not fancy. However, I don't really give a shit about cars unless they have the word "Chevelle", GTO", "SS" or "Charger" in the title and they're made of real metal. I think having a car that looks like an undercover police car will be a lot of fun (though people will probably drive like uptight assholes around me now). To kill time, maybe I'll just park under an overpass on a highway and point a hair dryer at traffic, just to see what happens.
Whiny Rambling Rant: For some reason my immune system goes on vacation at holiday-time. Last Christmas I couldn't even keep tea down, and this Thanksgiving I have the pig death, apparently. Also, the apple-pecan-butterscotch cake I made before I felt like dying is pretty mediocre. The flavor is good but the apples were too wet and the cake didn't set up properly. And one of my hub caps is gone. I blame the hooligans. Boo.
Rave: My 3 month old son had his follow up tests, his pancreas and kidney are functioning normally, he doesn't have to go back to the NICU.
RAVE: Turkey is brining, going to go in the oven soon. RANT: No mashed potatoes this year. My pregnant wife is on a baked potato kick. So, that's what I'm doing. Never had baked potatoes on Thanksgiving. RAVE: Who cares, it'll still be fucking delicious and I like seeing my wife happy after she's fulfilled whatever strange food cravings she might have. RANT: In-laws over for dinner. For the most part, I really like them. Hopefully the mom won't go into fuzzy lecture mode about how my wife and I need to do better, get better jobs, etc. etc. etc. and go off about how tough she had it when her and her husband were getting going. This is about a half hour after she's telling me that they never had a mortgage and some other contradictory bullshit. My wife and I are well educated, hard working individuals who are doing very well considering the state of the economy over the past couple years. We're proud of our accomplishments personally and professionally. RAVE: I'm stocked with a couple very nice bottles of single malt scotch, a bottle of a nice whiskey and some ginger ale (my favorite mixed drink), some Baileys and Frangelico for a nice dessert drink, some seasonal beer if needed on top of that. I'm ready to handle anything this day throws at me. SUPER RAVE: I have so much to be thankful for. A good job, a good wife, a kid on the way. Good heath and some great friends. Of course there are little problems here and there, but overall, life is good. Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
RAVE: In many respects, our founding fathers might be surprised to see what this country has evolved into over the past 200+ years. But I am quite positive that they would be proud to know that I am taking a shit while I use my laptop to fuck around on an internet message board and dish out rep points after eating 10 pounds of food for Thanksgiving. I love this country. Happy Thanksgiving, idiots!
Worst Thanksgiving Ever. EVER. My family decided to meet at the only place I wouldn't have enough time to drive too. I had to close yesterday and open tomorrow. So, I'm sitting at home ALONE, and the fucking power was out all morning. Then my water heater decided to fucking explode. So now I have no hot water. I get to work 12 fucking hours tomorrow and come home to a cold shower. I assume I won't even be able to get anyone on the phone to fix it until Monday. I'm sitting here eating a microwaved turkey dinner. FUCK ASS SHIT COCK FUCK PUSSY!!!! I'm going to go slit my wrist now.
Rant: Watched The Blindside with my family. Mommy Dearest has now decided that she wants to adopt a homeless child and give it a better life. Honestly, this woman is just asking me to have a mental breakdown. Rave: My Dad is not an idiot and shot her down multiple times, even when she put on what she considers to be a fetching pout face. I think he gets the bigger picture: Children (and minorities) aren't toys. But shhhhhhhhhhhhh..........don't let her in on the big secret. Rave: Someday, all of this vast experience I have with difficult family members will come in handy. I'm not sure when, or where, or even how I'll utilize it--but there must be a purpose for me having to go through this. There must be. Otherwise, this shit is pointless...and that thought is too depressing to be entertained for long. Minor Rave: She may be a rascist, prejudicial, judgemental, hypocritical, anti-feminist Republican ignoramus, but she does make a damn good turkey. And I think she does love me, so there's that too.
Rant/Rave: My girl turned 30 so I'm taking her out for a fancy dinner tonight, she said she didn't want a present and instead I could contribute towards her airfare for a European holiday next year. I've been fucking bushwhacked. I wanted a new car next year, instead I get to drink beer under different stars. Not being entirely stupid I bought her some "quality" platinum & diamond simulant earrings (ebay), no matter what they say a little bit of shiny goes a long way. These things were $15 and look awesome, apparently only a jeweller could tell the difference between the simulants and the real thing. She’s now 2 years older than the oldest girl I've ever slept with, she didn't think this fact was as interesting as I did. I hope it proves to be a performance enhancing comment. Instead it probrably just went onto the list of pro's to kill me while I sleep.
