Rave: Going to watch the All Blacks destroy South Africa this weekend. As an added bonus, the seats are on the halfway line in the members stand. Rave: Got a lot of my dissertation done over the weekend up at the girlfriends bach. Rave: Work was a bit more interesting yesterday than it was last week, looking forward to starting full time in a couple of weeks.
Rant: Bob Probert dead at 45 years old. Bare knuckles at their best. Too bad, he had really cleaned up his life. Rave: With the way he treated his body, he probably got 20 years longer than anyone expected.
Rave: Just got home from Atlanta. What a fucking awesome weekend, two nights of Phish in Alpharetta. I don't think I've ever had so much fun.
RANT: My roommate's hippie girlfriend brought over "Capitalism: A Love Story". I caught about 45 minutes of it while I cooked and ate before I could get away. Michael Moore and his half truths, hypocrisy and overall douchyness really gets me in a bad mood. RAVE: Had a great weekend and didn't even get sunburned too badly. RAVE: Also got a raise that showed up on my last paycheck. RANT: Annoying acquaintance is getting dumped by his fiance and for some reason thinks I'm his closest friend in the world. He's one of those really nice people that wouldn't hurt a fly or do anything wrong to anybody, but he just grinds my fucking gears. When I first saw the ManBearPig episode of south park, this guy instantly came to mind. "I don't think he has any friends, just let him hang out with you". Now he has all this free time and wants to hang out with me more. I have no clue how to get out of this without being a dick about it. And I would feel bad being a dick to him since he doesn't really do anything to anyone other than annoy them with nice and boring. Yeah, I have no clue why his fiance left him either... RAVE: Whatever, at least I'll still be the coolest person in the room.
RANT: Hate to post twice in one day, but I think THE EX GETTING A HOLD OF THE PHONE RECORDS AND ACCUSING ME OF CHEATING IS WORTH IT. RAVE: Semi-anonymous internet posting about it. I wouldn't bother any of my friends with it. RAVE: Her basis of me cheating is me texting a chick a bunch after I split. I show up to get the last of my shit and some dude's lifted pickup is in the drive way. She didn't expect me as quick as I got there and she's in her PJs... hmmmmm. WHORE. Bahahahahaha. RAVE: Kitchens painted!
Rave: The tuna have showed up 120 miles south of San Diego, I board the Pacific Voyager tomorrow night for a three day killing spree.
Rant: Sunburn. Hit the beach on Sunday for the first time this year, and even sporting half a bottle of SPF45 wasn't enough to prevent the inevitable burn. Can't wear a bra because the straps hurt too much. Rave: It's chilly in the office and I am apparently quite popular amongst the men here today. Rant: Sick of my job and looking to switch it up. Unfortunately the career I want has scarce quantities of jobs. If anyone knows of a forensics lab looking to hire a chemist in the GTA, PM me. Rave: Williams' Vanilla Bean iced coffee. I'm not usually into the frou-frou drinks, but this stuff is damned tasty.
Rave: Hmmm, it's 10:30 in the morning and i'm hungry. I'll eat some leftover ribs! Rave: Got offered a temporary position for between when I take the bar exam and when I receive my results. Even mentioned if I pass I may be offered something permanent.
RANT:It is an unbearable 95 degrees today in the Philly burbs. I really can't complain considering my pregnant wife has to bring a group of kids to the zoo today. RAVE It's still better than winter. Walking around shirtless in flip flops while fielding rate calls beats the shit out of snow.
My brother was killed in a car accident yesterday morning. Breaking the news to my mom was one of the hardest things I've ever had to do. I'm still reeling from the shock, both physically and mentally. If you haven't talked to a sibling lately, give them a call.
Rant: lust4life's post. My sincerest condolences (as much as it's worth from a stranger on the interwebs). Rave: Today is the day that Marty McFly arrived in the future...
You do realize that is a hoax? Google is a wonderful thing - check your source before perpetuating nonsense. I'm also old because I've seen all 3 movies in their original form in the theater.
The weather is punishing me for having grown such a glorious, hearty beard. No matter. When the SunRaper Missile is complete and the Earth is plunged into eternal winter, I'll have the last laugh. Soup and mittens for everyone. I think the heat is starting to get to my head.
Rave: After all of the bullshit that went down in Toronto's G20, I would just like to salute the random guy in this video for showing the city and the rest of the world that we still have some good guys left. And if the executives of Bell have any common decency, they will find this man and supply him with at least a dozen hookers and free long distance for life.
Rave: Air conditioning. I have the temp set around 68. I'm so happy I don't have to worry about being green. Rant: I have to leave my apartment today to go look at a condo I may be renting. It is 95 degrees out and the humidity makes it even worse. When I get rich I plan on building a summer house somewhere close to the arctic circle. I absolutely hate the heat. I'm not sure how you southerners can take it.
Rant: My car registered 104 when I was driving home from work. When I parked at my building, I noticed it was a little windy. "A nice breeze to welcome me home," I thought. No. The wind somehow made the air much hotter, and it beat up against me all the way to the front door. As I got closer to the building, a bumble bee sluggishly crossed my path and then, as if it had hit a glass wall, just fell to the ground...dead. If its little body had burst into flames afterwards, I wouldn't have been the least bit surprised. Rave: Because of the horrible heat, a massive electrical failure happened near my office, which caused the power to go out and leave us with no air conditioning, internet, or server access. My boss closed the office and I worked from home all day in my boxers with the A/C cranking and drinking beer.
Rave: Just quit my job. Rant: I feel like shit now because a lot of people's feelings are hurt. Rave: It's going to be better in the long run though because I wasn't happy and their family deserves someone who can devote the time and energy that they need. Rant: Bah, I still feel bad.
Rave: Starting to get more hours for my job and may be getting a 2nd job. Rant: The 2nd job is 4:30-8,9ish. AM Rave: It pays 9.50 an hour and is only monday, wednesday and friday. Rant: I have no idea how to start a thread. I read the thing in the Faq but i've been searching for the thing for awhile. Maybe im not allowed to yet. Rave: It was my birthday last night and I got real drunk. Rant: Me and a friend left the house that we were drinking at to go to his house and were suppose to meet up with two girls. They never showed up. She's a squirter.
Woke up to a beautiful sunny sky and mild temperatures after weeks of wondering when the summer would show. I thought "This day is full of possibilities!" Foreshadowing... RANT: Called the Marietta Probation Office and asked if I needed to submit a DOC application on top of my state application for a probie job. She asked what my score was on the crim justice exam: it was an 85. Their cutoff score is 89. In another office, they're only hiring transfer probation officers. I still haven't heard from the other two, but I imagine an influx of applications from people and I doubt I'm going to get the front seat when people from Georgia need jobs first. Which means it's going to take longer than anticipated for moving out of here. RANTIER: The woman on the phone in Marietta was such a bitch. Where's that southern hospitality I hear so much about? She sounded like a bitch from my neck of the woods. RANTIEST: Just as I thought this day wouldn't get any worse, my brother called. I posted a few weeks ago that our thirteen year old shepherd/collie family dog was on his last legs. The dog rebounded for a few weeks but then took a bad turn two days ago. He died today. Such a bad fucking day. Teeny tiny RAVE: When I was sobbing after getting the news about the dog, my cat Quint came and sat on my lap, purring and bonking his head against my hand. As I petted him, he gave me a nose kiss. It was cute. Funny how animals just know when you need them the most. He hasn't left my side all day.
