Rant: Sick. With my luck, it'll be swine flu. Rave: About to get $428.89 from the Wisconsin Unclaimed Property Dept. thanks to an old savings account.
RAVE: This is the last week of my contract. I'm glad it's done with. As fun as it was, it's devolved into too much political BS and corporate stupidity. Now I get a whack of downtime to refocus on my own projects, unwind, relax, and scare the fish in my lake with my newly acquired set of bagpipes. RANT/RAVE? Word is out that I'm available, and I'm being hit up by other companies to come do shit with them. It's flattering and all, and I need some R&R, but I hate passing up opportunities. Nothing like getting a call from a VP working for the Big Mouse saying "we want to get into online stuff like you've been doing at your last gig, care to run with the ball for us?"
Rave: just spent the last 3 days seeing how fast I could drive a Pergot 206 around the Tuscan countryside. The answer is not as fast as the crazy fucking Italians. Jesus wept they are some insane fucks, road rules and self preservation are not a consideration. Rave: after a week my jetlag had worn off, it blows being dead tired at 7pm. Rave: 1 week is down but I still have 3.5 to go.
Rant: My nose is rubbed raw from making out with a guy with scruff. It looks like someone took sandpaper to my nose, leaving me looking like Rudolph. Rave: So worth it.
Rave: My job isn't dull. Rant: The interesting parts are because people don't take care of their business and what is interesting today will soon be the drudgery of dealing with idiots day in and day out. Rant: If I don't take an even more misanthropic outlook on life due to this job I will be surprised.
HUGE RUGBY RAVE: I refrained from posting this earlier, but... Spoiler MOTHERFUCKING CURRIE CUP FINAL BITCHES! AT HOME! COME ON SHARKS! Bring on the 30th! The Sharks beat the Bulls 16-12 at home on Saturday in a real nailbiter of a semi-final. I was in the bar at the yacht club when Patrick Lambie called for mark with Kirchner almost in range to tackle him with 1 minute to play. The bar fucking erupted - it was a perfectly executed try-preventing play. The kid only turned TWENTY on Sunday and he's already one of the best fullbacks/flyhalfs in S.A. (he plays both positions well). A brilliant game, especially considering the 40 minute delay to clear bees from the field, and the then near torrential rain that poured for the duration of the match. RANT: My dad has tendonitis in his right arm, which means I have to do a lot of work for him in his workshop/office, since he's physically incapable of doing it (he's a jeweller, so it's all rolling metal, bashing collets into shape, pulling metal through small holes to make wire, cutting up solder, etc. - all stuff that's impossible to do with a fucked up arm). RAVE: Not as tiring as I imagined it to be, though. Definitely therapeutic, too.
Rave: Saw an old friend yesterday that I hadn't seen in a long time. It's always good to catch up and hear that people are doing well. Being a recent grad I've seen a lot of people fail in this economy so I'm glad that's not the case with others. Rant: Fucking hemorrhoids. Oh, how I hate hemorrhoids. Aside from being fucking disgusting they are the most goddamn irritating thing in the world. It was a struggle today to not reach into my ass and just scratch away. I just hope it doesn't start bleeding at work tomorrow. That could get awkward.
Rave: Totally have a date on Saturday with a girl from my English class last quarter. She's absolutely gorgeous and has an amazing body. She's really nice and isn't a bitch at all (which is rare, since I go to an expensive private university). What's great was that asked me to take her out for drinks and a movie, after I told her I had planned on seeing The Social Network again. A girl who takes initiative --- what?? Score. We're both excited. Rant/Rave? Unsure: She just broke up with her boyfriend of 4 1/2 years a couple of weeks ago. Not exactly sure what this might entail, but hey. She's awesome. Hot. Smart. Whatever.
Rave: My niece is cute as a button. Rant: I just said goodbye to her at the airport and my flight has been delayed an hour and a half. Rave: My sister hooked me up with some Auntie Anne's pretzels and I found a power outlet. Time for two hours of Community and surfing the net.
Rave: Northern Italy was amazing. This could possibly be a rant because I'm no longer there, but I got to go, so fuck it this is a rave. I'll be back there as soon as I'm able to afford it. Rave: I have the travel bug something fierce. After 8 years, I guess that's like globe-trotting blue balls. This puts my Big Goal to climb Mt. Everest, and acceptance of all the work and training that'll entail (starting yesterday), into perspective. Rave: A very cute African girl I know will be coming to work with me in less than 2 weeks. I don't have jungle fever - it has me at this point.
RAVE: Tits. They really are wonderful. All shapes. All sizes. They are a wonder to behold and I love them all.
Rave: Two 40's and a Circa Survive show tomorrow night. Rave: Fall Break starting Wednesday. Rave: Nothing due till next week Tuesday. Rant: Knowing I won't do anything then next couple of days and then having tests in all of my classes from Nov. 4-6. 4 tests plus a lab exam will be tough to pull off anyway you look at it.
Rave: I've been putting the moves on this way out of my stratosphere full blooded Mexican chick for the past week and a half and I have broken through. Going out to dinner at a nice Italian spot this Thursday night. This chick seriously looks like Eva Longoria...I dunno what shit talk I came up with here but whatever it was I should have wrote it down. Edit: Sidebar...its not that I haven't been with a chick this hot. My girlfriend when I went to school in Texas was a tall stunning blonde with legs for days and a rack that would stop traffic. Oh, and the Southern accent. But this chick is a totally different kind of hot. Brown chicks just have never really been into me. Rant: The one drawback is...she is 21 and has a 18 month old kid. I'm only 22 and not even that mature for my age so I am hesitant to get serious in this sort of situation. I guess I will just tread slowly and hopefully not fall for her too quickly. Gotta still get my OWN shit together before taking on so much responsibility.
Rant: Back to Michigan AGAIN this week. I hope these potential customers realize that every time I have to fly out to see them I'm taking on another few grand to their project to cover these expenses. Rave: I might go to Dusseldorf for a few days. Big plastics show over there with lots of emerging technology to see and competitors ideas to pilfer. The problem is I'd only be going for 3 days. Hmmmm. Rave: The pup is finally up to date on his Lyme and Parvo vaccines so I can take him back to the woods to hike. That's how I'll be spending my morning while everyone else goes to work.
Rant:COCKSUCKERS!!! Finally finished downloading Deadwood seasons 2 and 3 and a good portion of season two's video is out of sync with the audio. Going to have to find a better version. With out any spoilers can I get a yes or no if you get to see Skyler from breaking bad nekkid in this series?
Rant: Stupid people Rave: Having a good old fashioned debate with said people and having them cap it off by condemning me to hell. Not in a 'go to hell' way but in a 'fire and brimstone' way. Rave: Shutting them up using their own logic. This is why they invented facebook! Rant: Living in a closed minded area of the country where I'm wrong for being tolerant of people who don't live exactly like I do. Rave: Happy Birthday TiB!
RAVE: I went to a bday kegger this weekend. The Birthday Girl yacked in front of God and everybody and was down by midnight and just before that the cops had come a knockin' due to a noise compaint. Epic, considering we were all a bunch of +30's. RANT: Football. Last nights game was like watching you tards when you get into a stupid slapfight. Also I'll throw out a happy one year to this place. Another rant would be that Tom Bosley died. If you don't know who he is, you should be ashamed of yourself. He was "Mr. C". Google that shit.
