Rave: My roommate hooked me up with steel-toed boots. I thought I was going to have to drop 200 bucks on them, (they're required for my shop) but he said "I'll get you some." Rant: My dickhead master sergeant says that because they don't have the EGA branded on the side, they "aren't authorized to wear." Uh... they're issued boots. There aren't any other kind on this base. Anyone who works on the flightline gets THOSE boots. Sorry if they're not motivated enough for you. Twat.
I don't normally like Tosh.0.....but this video is great. He finds the "Boom Goes the Dynamite" guy, and lets him team up with Gus Johnson to provide color commentary for a staff pickup game. And it is amazing. "Aaaaaaah titties..."
Rave? The local grocery chain in my state (Piggly Wiggly) now has their own beer which is brewed in state. It is called 'Pig Swig'. Seriously. I bought some today and it is actually decent beer. It doesn't taste like Bud Light (it has taste) which almost guarantees that most of the people here won't like it. I hope it lasts longer than 6 months. Rave: The kid I was tutoring in math made 100% on his final exam. When I started with him, he had a 'C' average. His dad called me and gave me the news. I was floored. He said "I guess your rate just went up." Awesome.
RAVE: It's 6:30 am and I'm just getting home. We ended up partying with the opening band at a bar after the show and then to my man's house for late night dance party where we laughed about some random high hippie chick licking my neck "to get my energy" and told me that I glowed, had an impromptu reggae jam session on his deck, and hooked my friend up with a seriously adorable dude. When I left, the band was completely passed out (one was even sleeping on the dog bed, another fell asleep with his guitar in his hands) and my man and his best friend were still going strong. RAVIER: Wailers were absolutely amazing. They played Uprising in its entirety and then stayed on to play a ton of hits. The band would end, start saying goodnight and the crowd kept chanting "one more song!" One more song turned into five more and the Wailers played an extra hour than they were supposed to. So on point tonight and so so so good! RAVIEST: I'm a sweaty beast, my feet are practically black, and I'm exhausted but I've never felt so good. What an awesome night!
Rant I hereby pass into law that no human being shall be allowed to play harmonica and guitar at the same time anymore. Yes, I know it can be done and some of the best and coolest artists ever- Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Bob Dylan all do it, but it never sounds good and you look like a total asshole doing it. Just stop it.
Rave: So I met this girl on Friday and we had a great time. Last night we met up again and we went to her place. I'm not going to tell you what we did until 1 AM this morning, but let's just say that it rained multiple times last night and the drought is over. I then woke up at 5 this morning and there was more rain until I left at 6:30. Rant: 4 hours of sleep. Plus, I didn't get a chance to go home and change or shower. I smell like I was in a brothel all night and I'm hungover to boot. I'm posting this from a site visit at a customer's office, so I'm clearly a model employee. Rave: I've never immediately clicked with anybody like I have with this girl before. I have high hopes for this, whatever it is. Rave: Going back to her place tonight. Hopefully she'll have relearned how to walk in a straight line.
RANT: Just found out our store is open on Memorial day. I work split days off (Sun & Tue) so I went from having a nice three day weekend to a normal work week and not being able to BBQ and hang with all my friends on Monday.
Rant: Mr. P should not be trusted with shears. Good thing my hair grows hella fast. Rant: My son woke me up this morning SCREAMING bloody murder. He keeps screaming that his ear hurts. Head to the emergency room at 5 am, find out he's got a nasty ear infection. Poor guy, at least he has never had one before. Rave: A day off!
RANT: Watched "Inside Job" a couple days ago and it sort of scared the shit out of me. RAVE: Motivated me to actually start learning about economics. I've been wikipediaing like a motherfucker for the last three days, and I already feel smarter! Who has two thumbs and sort of understands the basics of how inflation works? This guy. WTF?: At the local video store*, Canadian films are found in the "foreign" section. *"Video store" seems like a term from 1996... What are you supposed to call them now? DVD rental establishments?
Rant: Two year old terror in my office today. Trying to get her parents to sign paperwork when she was bouncing around grabbing everything off my desk and in the general vicinity flinging papers, paperclips, etc everywhere was one hell of a chore. Her mom just kept saying "you should have stayed at home with nana." Damn right she should have. At one point she grabbed my scotch tape and mangled it, so her mom ripped that part off and stuck it on her shirt. A couple minutes later she throws the tape back onto the papers I am organizing. I grab it to throw it away and immediately figure out that it had just been in her fucking mouth. Kid slobber is fucking gross. That little petri dish is making me want to shut this place down like Madagascar. Rave: Speaking of kids I'm officially an uncle. My brother had a healthy 8 lb 1 oz baby boy this afternoon. That shit is nuts.
Rant: Playing rec league softball for my company team. We've had games the past two evenings, and now my knee is so sore I'm walking with a noticeable limp. I'm fucking 22. And I'm not even in that bad of shape. Fucking useless body. Rave: I guess that's all I really have to rant about. Suck it up princess. Edit: O.K. one more rant: Just realized how long I've been a member and only have 17 posts. This place is kick ass, and I need to start posting more.
RANT: It's a beautiful day outside and I'm stuck at work. I should be out putting miles on the motorcycle. RAVE: Half day tomorrow, heading down to Minneapolis for X-Fest this weekend. RAVE: I'm seriously thinking about doing some volunteering at the Ronald McDonald house in my spare time.
Rave: 5 day weekend started today. Rant/rave: Squadron formation run tomorrow. Haven't done one of these since OCS. Rave: Weather is looking awesome for the weekend. Rave: Should be headed to Destin, FL tomorrow to rent a boat and sit around and drink all day.
RANT I started doing a really intense training routine on Monday. I'm all about spending the time in the gym, but the whole "really watching what you eat" part fucking sucks. Healthy food tastes like shit compared to normal food and I'm hungry again like 2 hours after I eat. Fuck vegetables, fuck limiting carbs, and fuck not eating after 8pm!
Rant: I got a ticket yesterday for not wearing my seatbelt. That was the only reason I got pulled over. I was pissed. Rave: It will probably only be a 50 dollar ticket, I believe that is the damage in New York. Rave: I didn't have to go in to work last night but I got paid anyways. Rave: My girlfriend picked that day to come up and visit, she didn't know I would have off work. Rave: After the ticket, taking my girlfriend out to dinner and a movie, and then following that up with drinks, I still made 150$ for not going into work last night.
Rant: Fuck. I locked my keys in my car. Again. For any of you that are thinking "didn't he just post about this not long ago" right about now, yes. I did. Less than a week ago. And yes. I am that fucking stupid. Even worse? I didn't go get an extra key made after the last time it happened.
Rant: A big fucking tree just fell down right outside my trailer I am working. I didn't hear a fucking thing. It was close to falling on our trailer. Tonight makes me scared now.
