Rave: After two years off, I am now playing ice-hockey again. I found the perfect rec-league in town. Short-shifts, fast-paced, with no real all-stars and ice-hogs. Last week was a little rough, but this week was much better. I scored a goal, set up three and was able stay on the ice longer without suffering from extreme fatigue. All of my recent exercise is officially paying off in other ways. Rave: Free pizza at the office today. A local funeral home is buying it for us after all of free advertising that we give them. I love radio perks. Rant: I've got a long day ahead of me otherwise. Tonight I'm calling a Senior Hockey League game featuring the league's top team and the league's worst team. It sucks knowing that I'll be driving 75 minutes both ways to call a blow-out. Thank God I'll have some company in the vehicle, otherwise it could be a long, boring night. Rave: Tomorrow is my last day of work before my holiday. I am bringing Baileys to work, and will likely be half-cut by noon.
Rave: Last day of work for the year! Rave: In 24 hours, I will be getting on a plane and heading to Germany to see my girlfriend. Rave: I don't come back to the States until the 4th! RAVE: While I'm there, I am going to be giving her this... The main setting is from my great grandmother's ring, and the box is the original box that my great grandfather used when he proposed to her.
Rant: Renting a U-Haul and accepting my dad's extremely generous offer to drive 1100 miles would save me $1000 over the alternative of hiring a moving service. That grand can go a long way towards all the goddamn deposits one must pay when moving into a new place, not to mention keeping me from starving the month of January when I'll be waiting for my first paycheck. It's a rant because I don't feel like loading another U-Haul or forcing anyone (dad, dog) to be in one with me for 18 hours, but I'm not exactly flush with money at the moment. Fuck. Rave: After reading some of the above R&R's, if moving-cheaply-for-a-great-new-job-in-an-awesome-city is the worst of my problems, I've got it pretty damn good.
Rant: My friends just had an avalanche of bad fucking luck combined with bad choices. He and his fiance bought a house they could just barely afford in a really nice neighborhood just outside of Boston. The problem is the house they could barely afford needs to be COMPLETELY renovated before it's going to be worth anything more than they paid. He mistakenly started ripping apart the interior as they were moving in. Included on his demolition list was both of their bathrooms. The house only has two bathrooms. On Friday she received a text from her boss stating that it had been "great working with her". Confused she called into the office to find out that the company had laid off 400+ employees including her, but not the boss that texted her. They're so fucked. Rave: I love messing with my credit card companies. There are no bigger vultures in the world than those fucks. Today American Express called to offer me a special price on SentryGuard! or some such nonsense. For $1.99 I get 30 days of them watching my credit and making sure no one is stealing my identity! Then for $11.99 a month from there on I get that same coverage. The hole on the phone used innuendo that unauthorized charges would be protected against which they already are since it's the credit card company's money being spent and not mine. I asked the very nice lady if she felt bad cheating people out of their money for protection against something they don't even need? Ridiculous.
RANT: Did not get job. Just got the call. I was one of the final two candidates and I was told it was a very hard decision, but they went with someone who has a little more experience. Back to square one. Merry fucking Christmas. I'll see you on the drunk thread tonight.
Rave: Birthday in 2 days. Turning 22. Not sure if I want to do something later that night (it's Christmas Eve, everything closes early in my hometown, so options are limited). Rant: I have to work on my birthday. I know most people have to, but what has me a bit frustrated is the fact that I have been able to request my birthday off from my job for the past few years, but all of a sudden, it's a huge fucking issue to grant my request this year. I don't quite understand. Rave: My father will be home for Christmas. This is kind of an emotional event for me, because my dad has not been home in 4 months due to a broken hip and physical therapy. Can't wait to have him home with the family again, even if it's only for one day.
RAVE: My brother is coming into town for the holidays RAVE: I'm off for the next four days starting in 2 hours RANT: If something can wrong today at work, it will.
Rave- My uncle-in-law had the cops arrest him today for molesting teenage boys after luring them with booze. His bail is over a million as he's been under surveillance for months and have a pretty solid case. Why is this a rave you might ask? He comes from the in-law side of my family that is a bunch of religious right assholes that will preach the bible and spout "queer and nigger" in the same sentence. Fuck him, I hope all those hypocrites rot in prison.
Huge-Mega-Merry-Fucking-Christmas-Rave-Of-The-Year: A in my education class! Words cannot describe how anxious I was about this grade, dreading the possibility of seeing a B or a C there. Being a perfectionist sucks. After the hell that class put me through, getting an A is such an ungodly relief.
Rant: Somewhere in Cincinnati, a grown man is walking around this week really proud of himself. At the Bengals game on Sunday, he beat up a couple Browns fans. They were teenage girls, he was a grown man. It was after the game in the parking lot, and people stood around watching and laughing as he hammered them both in the face. You might ask if they provoked it, but I would argue that being an adult male, there should be no reason short of defending your own life to repeatedly hit a teenage girl in the face. I wish the Bengals would leave town and hopefully take some of this kind of trash with them.
Rave: Hammered after a long day at work... Rant: Have to go back tomorrow night for a 24hr shift Rave: Got a lot of complements on my weight loss / how good i look at our x-mas party
Rant: God-fucking PS3 up and killed itself today. It just quit working. Unplugged it, flipped the switch, tried multiple outlets after checking for juice, and it just would not turn on. It's under warranty, but that replacement isn't going to come with all the shit I had stored in the memory, nor will it give me back the couple of bucks I'm gonna lose in late fees to Blockbuster for the copy of Black Ops that was due back today which is stuck in the fucking thing.
A day full of fucking RAVE. Coffee. Breakfast. Money. Lunch. Shit. Business idea over a Mac & Jacks beer. Rampant overdue sex with the GF. Homemade beer with good music to finish it off. It's the little things. Tits-on-dicks was it a good day. Didn't even have to use my A.K.
Rant: Out at the bars: Fucking women, how do they work? Rave: Get home chatting with people: Fucking Women, how do they work?
Rant: O the daddy issues... Rave: Had a long ass conversation with my stepdad that made me realize that at least I had someone to look up to and at least it I someone besides my screw up of a dad. Starting to let it go. Rant: My commitment issues are really starting to fuck with my head. I just don't know how to be like the rest of these dumb bitches in the world and just be stupid enough to be happy with what I got. No, I gotta question everything and find every flaw possible. Rave: A lot of people from my past lately have been coming to me and telling me how they fucked up, apologizing, and telling me all this nice shit. Hey maybe, good things don't always go unnoticed. At least some people can realize what I do for them. Maybe these commitment issues aren't as big as I think they are.. Rave: It's fucking Christmas break. Time to fuck shit up and forget all the dumb shit. Bitches will be bitches and little boys will pretend they are real men. And I'm just about as real as it fucking gets. Gettin' shitty Christmas Eve with someone I've known for quite some time and gotten really close to over break so far and his family. Maybe I'll win some money in poker. Lady Luck better be on my side!
RAVE: Vacation. The Girl visiting. Lounging around on the couch, in front of the fireplace, big mugs of special coffee, hilarious Killer Bunny slippers, 4am pancakes and bacon, wrapping up an Alien marathon and just starting in on a Firefly marathon. Merry Fucking Christmas!
