Rant: How did I get this lazy? All I have to do this weekend is clean the apartment and fill out an application. One will take less than 30 minutes and the other will take 45 minutes at the most. For some reason I keep looking at both of these tasks like impending doom. Rant? Rave?: Based on the voice mail the recruiter left me it sounded more like an offer than a request to apply... but I don't even come close to meeting the experience requirements. It offers medical/dental/401k benefits, good advancement opportunities and all that jazz. I fucking hated sales and working in mortgage is just ok. I guess working for a phone company might be interesting, even though I don't give a shit about all those stupid apps people fawn over. Rant: The job is in smalltown, USA. Well, not tiny, but still I kind of like living in the twin cities. How am I supposed to say goodbye to the rock bottom brewery?
Rant: I seriously have to cut down the amount of free time I spend lurking about this board and other places on the internet gobbling up information. I thought quitting smoking weed, quitting playing madden, and quitting other shit would increase my productivity but it seems I only find other distractions. Procrastination is going to kill me.
Rant- the rotational night shift at work is ruining my life. I haven't had time to do anything for the last month and it looks like I am stuck on this shift for the next few to come. I still read the board but have been too tired and cranky to add anything of substance so I have turned into a TIB creeper. Rave- Purple Kush
RANT: Due to weather, I'm losing three days on a trip to Paris, out of four. At least I get to watch football now, I guess, but fuck.
Fuck you, Eagles. Fuck you and your dog killing quarterback. If they go on to win the Superbowl, there really is no God.
Rave: Eagles and their dog killing quarterback killed another dog today. Eli Manning and the Giants. They got fucked up so bad Vick should go back to jail for embarrassing their asses so bad. You're up 31 - 10 with 7 mins left and you blow it? Oh yea, and don't worry about a potential onside kick. Who would do an onside kick anyway? Go VICK!
Rave: Had a "Come to Jesus" meeting with the boss man today. We pretty much hugged it out and we are cool. Then I made over $200 in tips today. Hooray!
RANT: After dominating my fantasy football league all season and losing only 1 week, a combination of Aaron Rodgers injury, Arian Foster's no show, and my opponent having that dog killing felon as his QB, I am now about to be knocked out of the playoffs and miss out on a guaranteed 150-300 bucks if I had made next week's final. Son of a bitch... RAVE: Its almost Christmas. RANT: What is it about people that make them automatically couple up as winter approaches? I swear 80% of the girls I meet these days have significant others. I have developed a half-baked hypothesis that the number of single females drops by 50% after November 1st. This is just awful. RAVE: At least I love the new job and said new job closes the office from Dec 23rd through Jan 4th. Hooray advertising.
Rant/Rave? I have to make a run to Hong Kong for a Visa stamp. Not really going to have enough time to do anything real cool. But still I hear the city is awesome.
Rant: I knew some days of parenting were going to suck. Today is one of those days. The past 20 minutes have been spent with me cleaning up throw up out of fucking everything. TWO beds, a bathroom, THREE sets of clothes, and my beard. I never imagined cleaning someone else's throw up out of my beard. I need a beer.
Rave: Grades were posted. This has literally been one of the more stressful times in my life, and I finished with a 4.0 in all of my classes. Rant: I want to drink, but I have to wake up and be responsible early in the morning. Bah.
Rant: Only Monday and not off work til Friday. Rave: Got knocked off at lunch and spent the afternoon drinking in the pool.
RAVE: Ahem. Sex, all day long. Rave?: He got me a Christmas present--a book I'm actually looking forward to reading even though it's in a subject I know nothing about and never planned on delving deeply into. But still...it's an interesting pick. I dig it. Rant: I didn't want to fall in "like" with this guy. I really didn't. I wanted him to like me, we might maybe fuck/casually date for a while, then go our own way when we felt like it. He's not what I think I want. And I see so many small problems that should send me running...ugh. But we never run out of things to talk about, and he "gets" me, and I can tell that he is falling hard himself. This shiz is complicated.

Rave: Bought a new car over the weekend. 2009 Subaru Legacy 3.0R Limited. Was able to buy it for $400 above clean trade-in value and finance at less than 3.5%. It's a great car and I can't wait to drive it... Rant: ...Can't wait until I can drive it tomorrow. Bought it in Mass. and they can't give out-of-staters temp plates. Of course the CT DMV isn't open Monday's, so I have to wait until tomorrow to get everything registered. Rant: I have to drive almost two hours north to meet them at 8am at a DMV that's halfway between us tomorrow morning. Rave: They're taking care of everything for me. I'm going to show up, give them back their loaner, and drive away. First little road trip with the new car. Rave: In the last 6 months, I've bought a condo and a new (to me) car. Due to great planning, neither purchase has left me broke, and I actually still have a good amount of cash left over without even selling my other car yet. Financial responsibility...I has it.
RANT Fuck you Ray Rice. Your 35 fantasy points killed my team this week. It is round 2 of the playoffs. I had a round 1 bye. I was 10-3 this year and my team was #1. 89-118 right now. I have Adrian Peterson in tonight. 29 points to tie, well at least AP is the only one playing for the Vikings this year. Come on 29 points.
