RAVE: My ADD is so bad I read books for fun. Seriously, my attention span is so bad apparently I just walk out on TV shows and other kinda boring activities without noticing. My roommates mock me mercilessly for it but Viktor Frankl is so much more engaging than Spongebob Squarepants. Not just trying to be a pretentious fag here. I genuinely need the abstract concepts to not feel like my brain cells are committing suicide. "[A] man's suffering is similar to the behavior of gas. If a certain quantity of gas is pumped into an empty chamber, it will fill the chamber completely and evenly, no matter how big the chamber. Thus suffering completely fills the human soul and conscious mind, no matter whether the suffering is great or little. Therefore the "size" of human suffering is absolutely relative."
Rave: Spent my Friday night lounging with the girlfriend, drinking beer, eating pizza, and making fun of this guy and his butt-plug band: Laughing at Creed never gets old. Ever. Rave: Spent today not hungover, with free corporate lift passes from my roommates employer, to go snowboarding at a mountain I hadn't been since I was wee lad. Got my shred on & had a killer day. Rave: Replicating those fuckin' passes to do it again next weekend.
Rant: Got a call from my mom saying our 9 year old Rottweiler needs to be put to sleep, possibly today. Some sort of degenerative disorder involving her muscle control. She's basically unable to walk. Glad I was able to stop by this past weekend, but christ. I'll go look at the pet thread now.
Rave: New Boobie thread post. (Even if they do have Magic Marker on them. Scrubbing that off ought to be fun. Wait. That would be fun -- go Nettdata! . . . I digress.) Rant: WDT closing early during a 4-day weekend. WTF? It's Presidents' Day! It's because all the mods are Canadian, isn't it?
Rave: President's Day! One of the few company holidays they didn't take away. Rant: It's already 3PM... where the fuck did my day off go? ???: How long is an invitation open for? For example if at noon you send your neighbor a text asking, Day off? He responds with an affirmative. Follow up with a, stop over for a beer and cigar. No response back and I'm giving a 2 hour window on either responding or stopping by. Window closed. Rave: I'm going to go enjoy my cigar in the woods with the pooch.
RANT: Mystery bruises. They're everywhere. I have no idea how they came to be and am almost afraid to get in the shower only to discover more. The ones I've noticed are in really werid spots and are already a nice shade of green and brown. Bleh. What the hell happened? RAVE: Mystery bruises always signal one thing: must've been a great weekend!! The Hunger/Wolf full moon was definitely in full swing! RAVE: The boy surprised me with tickets to the Syracuse-Villanova game tonight! Can't wait to get my Orange on (even though I have no fingernails left with the way they've been playing this season.)!! Boys are the best.
RANT: The world of conferencing doesn't stop, ergo I'm not off today. RAVE: All I've done at work today is jam out to everything on my laptop's hard drive, while being on the clock for doing so. Next up....Maxi Priest "I Just Wanna Be Close to You"
Priceless: My noisy eating, coworker comes into the office today with her hand black and blue. Her explaination, and I quote: "I got knocked down in a mosh mit." She is in her fucking 50s. She was in a mosh pit with her 28 year old son. No words can fucking describe that scenario.
Rant: My lab partner is a complete cunt. I can live with that. I can't live with her sloppy work and poor attention to detail. She manages to fuck up the simplest steps. Nine times out of ten her data is complete shit, and I don't trust her with part of my lab grade. There's too much work for me to monitor every single component. If she didn't completely suck I wouldn't have to worry. Since she's a cunt, she believes she's doing everything correctly and that I'm just an anal-retentive bitch. I am an anal bitch, but I've also finished most of my labs with a high A. Why can't I clone myself and have totally badass experiments?
RAVE: Radiohead and The Streets both released new albums. As always you need to listen to them a couple of times before they register. RANT: This will be the last Streets album. Fuuuuuuuck. RAVE: Line from Streets - I'm good at puzzles but I'm puzzled by people.
Rant: One of my tenants keeps bugging me to do above and beyond shit to her unit. I'm planning on completely renovating it when she vacates so not feeling like spending money on something I'm just going to be tearing out in a few years. Problem is she’s paying above market rent and really looks after the place, including making the garden look the best it ever has. And she pays rent in 3 month in advance packets, so telling her to fuck off is not an attractive option, even though she is abrasive to deal with. BTW (The place was renovated only 6 years ago so it's still pretty good, I'm not a slumlord) First world problem.
Just bought two floral arrangements. One for my mom. One for my nieces. Jesus titty fucking Christ tapdancing on a cracker. What a goddamn racket. Rave: 10 minutes and I'm going home.
rant: Ed Helms was on Conan and talked about his movie instead of whether Andy is gonna get with Erin. Fuck your movie!
RANT: Time to put the old lady in a home. I'm sure I'll be getting lots of flack from the rest of the family for this. If any of you have space in your garage for an elderly bipolar hypochondriac, hit me up.
Rant: Stupid car troubles. Had to borrow money from my mom a couple weeks back to cover the cost of some work I had to have done. Paid her back from this paycheck, which made it a bit tight for two weeks. I had it just right though so that I had enough to cover food and gas till friday. Then my fucking monthly payment for satelite radio went through, as well as an auto debit for my turnpike account. There goes $65 that I planned on having to get me to friday. Shit.
Rant: Biochemistry Lab will not stop piling on the shit. Between that and Biochem 3 lecture, I feel like I was so completely unprepared to take these classes and that everyone else knows so much more than I do. Thanks go out to a worthless Biochem 1 teacher. I can honestly say I went a semester in a 400-level biochemistry course without learning one. fucking. thing.
RANT: My flight from Minneapolis home was delayed 2 hours so I didn't get home till 11:00pm. RANT: I had to work today. RAVE: I took the late shift so I didn't have to come in till 9:00am RANT: I still woke up at 6...but.. RAVE: It was to have naked breakfast in bed with a beautiful woman.
