MEGA ULTRA RAVE: Michigan State. Rave: Went to New Orleans last night. Good times and lots of Jack were had. Rant: This morning absolutely sucked. Rave: Day off tomorrow. Military loves those obscure holidays.
RAVE: The Onion gets it right regarding this year's Nobel Prize winner. RANT: Last night in my home forever. Hotel tomorrow night, early ass flight to Georgia on Tuesday. RAVE: Have a brand new car waiting for me in Atlanta. Just gotta sign some papers and it's mine. RANT: Husband isn't joining me until January when the house business is wrapped up.
Rant: Last day of my 4-day weekend. Rave: It's been a great weekend. Perfect weather, the ribs and brisket I made on the smoker were awesome, and my house is still clean after the party. Rave: Bringing a couple friends flying with me today. Planning on heading over to the Vermont border and flying north to an airport up there. Touching down for lunch, then back to the skies. Most beautiful time of year to take to the air.
RAVE: I finally uploaded an avatar. It's the small things.... RANT: Couldn't find my old Warcraft one.
Rant/Rave: From this post I've pretty much decided to break up with my girlfriend. I don't know what will happen with the doctor chick, and it's a risk to leave my girlfriend, but I'm not as happy as I could possibly be (no, I did not do anything with the doctor at all, so I did not cheat, but she wants to go on a date Wednesday). If I've learned anything from this board, it's that if you're not 100% sure on your relationship there is really no reason to be in it. My current girlfriend just isn't as giving as I like and we're at two different stages in our lives (I've had a full time, post college, job for 5 years, she is still in nursing school). Don't get me wrong, she's a great girl and I do like her, there's just no spark there. The prospect of the doctor is a great one, and I feel like taking the safe route is just the pussy thing to do. Besides, I'm not 100% happy, even if this new girl wasn't involved I should probably end things.
RANT: My feet are covered in bug bites. It's baaaaaad. RAVE: Jell-O sugar/fat free pudding cups. Only 60 calories and keeps me off the Oreos. RANT: Have not been visiting TiB with ANY regularity. RAVE: Between the extra time in the gym, running a mile or two every other day, and closer attention to my diet... wait... what are those? Abs?!? HOLY SHIT!
RAVE: Graduated I-strand training on Friday. Fuck you, radar. RAVE: Since I was really close to being top of the class, I got my pick as to which MOS I wanted. RANT: The MOS I picked has some people in the class who are completely insane. We've got a pathological liar and a narcissist together in a class of seven. The narcissist thinks I ruined his life because of my role in his NJP (very minor. He's grasping at straws for why he's on restriction). It's going to be a fun six months with him.
Rant: I've been committing crimes against humanity on the toilet today. Stupid three bean chili. Rave: I got a call from a recruiter. There's a possibility that I could make making more money doing less work. Rant: On the downside, I really like working here and my review (which got moved last week to this week) might get me a raise. If I do, I'd have no problem turning these guys down. Rave: My brother came over on Saturday and we smoked ourselves retarded. The stuff we had was so potent that between the two of us, we could only manage to finish three quarters of the blunt he rolled. I got to get retarded again yesterday. Rant: No wonder I pass up weed. I ate so much that I felt myself wanting to puke, BUT STILL FELT HUNGRY. Fucking side effects.
Rant: Roommate drank the rest of my beer I got from the Magic Hat brewery and pretended he didnt. Rave: I went on his WoW account and deleted one of his favorite characters Rant: The beer was actually behind other stuff in the fridge, my girlfriend had moved it. Rave: I drew him a picture of his WoW character so he can have something to remember it by. (I think Im due for an ass kicking)
Rant People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. Especially if you're an Iranian female and convicted to death by stoning because you conversed with a man behind your dead husband's back. For shame.
RANT: To all the people in this world who constantly have to be bitching and complaining about something, fuck you. When someone else has good fortune, you people need to complain in an effort to take away those good fortunes and try to keep everything "even". EVEN THOUGH IT HAD NO FUCKING IMPACT ON YOUR OWN FUCKING LIFE! Seriously, stop trying to make everyone as miserable as you. RAVE: I'm loving my job and have been put in a nice situation where I am working one-on-one with a client who responds well to me. This client does not work well with any of the other staff, so there are good reasons for this change. It's been about a 6 months of this and I've gone from dreading work every morning to actually looking forward to it. And the best part is that the client has does a complete 180 and is actually happy most of the time instead of sad, depressed, miserable and impossible to work with. RANT: Stupid fucking shitty coworkers think this isn't fair or something and are saying things to my supervisor to try to have me work with more clients even though they know it would not be good for the person I currently work with. EVEN THOUGH IT HAS ZERO IMPACT ON THEIR LIVES! RAVE: The one coworker who this does effect, the one who would be working with less people if I got more, is on my side and is actually putting our client's best interest first. There are some decent people in this world, it's just a shame that the shitty people are usually the loudest.
Rant: Seems as though my 3yr old thinks he is the modern incarnation of Thor. Rave: There has to be some perk to raising the future god of thunder.
Rave?: Clicked a random YouTube play list to listen to some Raised Fist and get this after a few songs. Like it, look into it: they're all vegans. A vegan metal band. World's a funny fucking place.
Rave: I take it back. Watching "The Situation" try and lift his partner in the Argentine tango as though he was doing a clean and jerk is funnier than The Hoff clumping through the cha-cha-cha.
Rant: What a horrible game. I was already dreading it going in and the Vikes certainly didn't disappoint with their shitty performance the whole first half. So after the Jets FG at the beginning of the third quarter I was about to check out of the game when Favre then threw the TD to Moss. I'm checking back in. Jets FG after the huge return and then the Vikes drive down the field for another TD, 13-15. They fuck up the 2-point try and waste a timeout, but at this point I'm back in the game. 13-15 with most of the 4th left and the defense have been containing the Jets the whole game, I'm thinking they might just pull it off. Unfortunately the Vikes stalled on their next possession in their own territory and the Jets drive down the field for the icing TD. Game over. I shut the TV off and get ready for bed because it's 11:15pm and tomorrow's my first day back after a vacation. After I finish getting ready for bed I check espn.com to see the final score. 20-22 with a 1:43 left and the Vikes have the ball. They're still in it! I get all excited only to turn on the TV to watch Favre miss a wide open Harvin and then throw a pick-6 on the next play to seal the game. What a kick in the teeth. I hate this fucking team. Why the fuck does shit like this keep happening?!?! And by 'keep happening' I mean has been happening ever since I started rooting for them and all the other shit that happened before I was born. Rooting for this team is like being a virgin picking up a chick at a bar with the promise of a hot hook-up and getting her all the way back home and into your bedroom only to have her change her mind at the last second and watch her bolt out of the house before you know what's happening - only this happens every time you go out. Biggest fucking cocktease in all of professional sports. And I'm sick of all the drama that always surrounds this team, whether it's Favre, Moss, love cruises, or whatever, and the way the media gleefully covers it in such as way as to make me the fan feel as though I'm somehow a bad person because I still root for the Vikings through all their drama. So far this has been one of the worst seasons to root for the Vikings because it really does seem like this is legitimately their last chance ever to win a Superbowl, so it pretty much feels like life or death. I'm not exaggerating either or just saying that because this is Favre's last season with the team and it's getting old and looking like a rebuilting effort for the next few seasons after this one. I'm saying that's it's life or death because the Metrodome lease runs out after the 2011 season and the Vikes have been trying for over 10 years to get a new stadium with no progess. After 2011 it's uncharted territory for the Vikes and a move to LA or wherever is a really likely scenario. I don't even want to think about losing the Vikes, because I love football but don't know if I could ever watch another NFL game if they left. It was bad enough when the North Stars left and then won the cup 6 years later, and I'm not even a very big hockey fan. I couldn't take seeing the same thing unfold with the Vikings. All in all though, just another day in the life of being a Vikings fan. I can't even sooth my pain with booze because I can't go to work drunk. What a shitty night.
Rave Officially start at new job as of next week. Will no longer have to deal with the crappy temp agencies. Rant Should have asked for more money than I did, as I am sure they would have been willing to pay from the fast response. At least this means that a payrise later on down the track shouldn't be too much of a hassle. Rave Hopefully this means everything will start to settle down now. Moving interstate with no plan really was beginning to take it's toll. At least I moved to where I wanted to be and found an amazing guy. Now with the work aspect finally in place everything should start to become easier. Rave Walking with the Dinosaurs is coming back to Aus next year. I feel like a little kid - giddy with excitement.
DOUBLE RAVE A hot girl I know whom I have interest in of the sexual nature asked me to help her organise a beach volleyball team. So now me and two other mates will be playing with her and two of her mates. This can only end well
Rant- Monotony. I have a very good life, but dammit if after 7 years of doing the same thing day in, day out doesn't start to feel like a Chinese water torture device. Not painful at first, but over a long time can drive you crazy. Something's missing from my life, and it's not Jesus Christ.
