Rant: The big dog had an upset stomach while I was at work. Fair enough; it's not his fault and I know he tried his best. In his defense, he went downstairs to the unfinished basement right beside the floor drain and pooped. Easy to clean up, no big deal. FUCKING RANT: The little dog is a terrier and smart as a bastard. He took this accident to mean "it's okay to go to the bathroom in the house while mom is at work," and has done so every day since. This means I have to kennel him for about a month to re-train him NOT to do that. Sometimes dogs are worse than kids, I think.
Rant- Ever play chicken with your shopping cart as you're walking down the grocery aisle? You're not that stupid, you have to know that walking dead center down the aisle leaves no room for my cart, unless I'm flush against the shelves and knocking shit over. I can further attest to your bullshit seeing how you avoid eye contact. See that? I just tightened my grip on my cart and am picking up speed. Brace for impact bitch.
RANT: My alarm didn't go off this morning so I woke up 5 minutes before my taxi showed up. RANT: My flights out of Fargo and Minneapolis were both delayed. RAVE: Got some yesterday! RAVE: When she explaind her dream, it revealed a lot.
Rant: To the ghetto trash at my building: are you too stupid to know what elevator etiquette is, or are you just too gangsta to care? It's not that hard. You call the elevator, and when the door opens you wait for everybody to exit the elevator before you enter. You don't all but stiff-arm the woman with the cane before she can take a step toward the open door, all the time talking into your cellphone at the volume of a crewman in the engine room of the Yamato. And "wait for everybody to exit" doesn't mean "gather as many of your 400lb. cackling friends as you can to stand directly in front of the doors and not budge, ensuring that anybody exiting has to shimmy past you as your eyes bore holes into them."
Rave: During the last two weeks, the whole reason that I decided to become a teacher became overwhelmingly clear in my head. I finally got a chance to read again. I read a 720 page book yesterday. It took my whole day (or at least a majority of it) and I was euphoric. I feel relieved, happy, and just plain excited again. Reading is fucking awesome. If I can make one person see what I see in a book, I'll be one happy motherfucker.
RAVE: We don't really get along too well with our neighbors, mostly because they hate my wife's chickens and goats. (Yes, we have chickens and goats.) I went over there tonight and gave them two dozen eggs and said, "Since you guys have to listen to those fuckin' roosters, I figure you might as well get some eggs out of it." They thanked me, we had a nice chat, and all was cool. Half an hour ago, they called me and said, "Hey, we have two tickets to the New England Patriots pre-season game on August 12th we don't need, you want 'em?" Fuck yeah I do! Just think, I just got two tickets to the Patriots - Saints preseason game for 24 eggs. That's a fuckin' deal right there, son.
Rave: The job hunt in LA is progressing. Just that, supposed to hear from the original interview by Wednesday. Have another interview scheduled in conjunction with another trip to LA from the 6th-9th. Cold called a company in my industry, and asked if they had any openings, they said yes, talked to the manager briefly, sent him my resume, and he want's to talk more soon. Called my current employer's location in the Valley, and heard thru back channels that there may be an opening coming up. Moral of the story is my ass is getting back there, eventually. This could all be over if a certain, $5Billion company would just quit this nonsense and offer me the job. MegaRave: Get to see the Girl in a few days. That's enough for me, for now.
Rant/Rave: Dreamy co-worker poked around my ankle and foot. Definitely a classic sprain. Embarrassed he had to touch my nasty feet. Thank God I shaved this morning.
Rant: Friends. Sometimes you just have to get rid of them. Regardless of the history, nothing will change the negative, pessimistic, stubborn ways I have put up with for years. I'm done. We're done. Find someone who gives a tenth of a shit that I do. Rant: Uncle is in the hospital. He was getting a colonoscopy and now he has inflamed intestines. This is causing him to vomit and bloat. Who-fucking-ray. Rave*: It is still Monday. *Sarcasm.
Rave: Just picked up my copy of StarCraft 2. It just finished installing as I typed out that last sentence. Time to play.
RAVE: Just landed a sweet job as the chef of a failing Tapas place with tons and tons of potential. Seems like an odd rave, but if I can get the clientele it once had back then I'm going to fucking dominate this city! This place has the ultimate location, a great dining room layout, the kitchen setup is stellar, and there's no lack of storage. The best part though, is that it has an owner who's willing to spend money but doesn't want to actively involve himself with the place, meaning I'll have next to no one fucking with me while I get to run a solid restaurant. Is it wrong that while I was fucking my girlfriend this evening, all I could think of was what I was going to do with the place, and that I only lasted a minute and a half because of it? RANT: Along with great power comes great responsibility. I'll be right back in the grind working 70+ a week on salary.
Rave: Starcraft II Rant: DVD Drive on my desktop is fubar so have to rip the image file on laptop and transfer to desktop
Rave: Finished sanding my car with the power sander next is wet sanding with the block sander. Hopefully we can start the primer tomorrow or the next day. Rant: Block sanding is gonna be tough but it will be worth it. Rave: Watching A Clockwork Orange before I go to bed, I love this movie.
Rant: A girl I was into sucked off my roommate's penis last night. And then another dude's. Rave: At least I know she is a whore.
Rant: When I bought my new blu-ray player, I assumed from the print on the packaging that read "Wireless Internet Ready" meant the unit was "Wireless Internet Ready" out of the box, not "After you buy the wireless LAN adapter, which isn't sold in stores and can only be ordered direct from the manufacturer at a price point equal to 50% of the purchase price of the unit itself." Adapter shipped yesterday, so I'll hopefully be streaming "Pillars of the Earth" this weekend. Rave: Summer semester is winding down. All major papers are done and submitted. Group presentation tomorrow night, then one small paper for that class due next week and that class is put to bed. One more discussion board assignment and a comprehensive take-home essay final for my psychiatric counseling class and that's it. Light course load, but with all the personal crap this summer, I feel like I've been playing catch-up the whole time. Three weeks off til fall semester starts for me to get my head back in the game. Rant/Rave? Meeting with the doctor later this morning to review the results of the echocardiogram. This could go a lot of different ways. Rant: I'm setting up a memorial mass for my brother at our local church so my mom can get some sense of spiritual closure since she wasn't able to travel to the funeral due to her medical condition. I offered to my sister-in-law to fly one of my nephews down here to attend, giving him and my mom a chance to see each other, him a chance to get out of the house and see his cousins and visit a part of the country he hasn't seen. Well, my sister-in-law sends me an email saying he'd love to come, and so would his older brother, "so call me when you make the arrangements." Going to school full-time and not working, we're living on a closely watched budget. As much as I would love to have both of them here for a week, I can't spring for two airfares (especially after my travel expenses to attend the funeral--bereavement fare? What's that?). Thanks for putting me in an awkward position. Okay, I'm done now.
Rant: Going to a funeral today. Double Rant: A friend's sister killed herself. So she wouldn't have to go back to rehab. TRIPLE FUCKING RANT: She killed herself with her 2 little kids in the house. Because going back to REHAB was just too hard. WHAT THE FUCK!! How selfish are you!? I am only attending to support my friend and his family. I will try to contain my rage when I see her two little kids, looking dazed at this hysteria. I'm done venting now. Edit: Didn't even read the post above, funny. ish.
RAVE: A check with a gross amount of 102,453.22 RANT: What Uncle Sam did to my precious check, I would like to drive down to D.C. and punch Sam square in the jaw.
RAVE: At work the other day a kid in the kitchen I work in threw a saucy meatball at my white work uniform. This led to my supervisor bitching at me when she seen it resulting in me having to buy a new uniform top. Now in any other situation this would be a rant, but I found out that I can still fit into kids clothes. Why have I been shopping in adults when I can get everything I buy at like half the price? Got a nice XXL white polo from walmart for work for 5$. Im 19. Sad I know, but awsome.
