Rave: On the way home from work as I was buying some delicious Jack Daniels I got a phone call. Someone wanted to buy my Droid 1. Rant: From a restricted number. Dude wants me to meet him at an elementary school after dark across from a park. This sounds hinkie. Rant: Two young black guys show up. I have a bad feeling about this but I stuff it down because I hate people judging me by my skin color especially when I was this age. Rant: They don't have all of the money so ask me to drive them back to their house Rave: There is shit in my car so the one in the back seat isn't directly behind me and I have my hand on my cop flashlight Rant: These motherfuckers are mucking about and I'm getting super hinkie feelings. They keep asking to see the phone a million times and see its functionality. Rant:This motherfucking nigger takes off running. Giving a bad name to all black people. Rant: This motherfucker is fast as shit and he's jumping over fences in a residential neighborhood and I'm running out of breath and I can't keep this up too much longer. His friend is vapor. Its been 4 fucking blocks and this 18 year old isn't slo...oh shit he just fell! Rave: I slam this fucker against a fence in someone's back yard. I don't want to cause a scene so as out of breath as I am, he's worse and help him over the fence after taking his shoes. Rave: And his earrings. Rave: I recovered my phone and its extremely cold in Colorado tonight. I threw his shoes over a fence 3 blocks away from where I left him out of breath and clenching his chest in someones yard. Rave: Old man determination outweighs young man speed. FUCK YOU NIGGER
Rave: Knicks won last night in Oakland. Went with my rooommate, who is also a Knicks fan, for his birthday. Tix were on me. Warriors fans were all nice peeps, had some good seats, it was a pretty great game too. Getting ready right now for Stanford-Cal. BIG GAMEEEEEE!!!!
Rant: Instead of watching and betting on college football today, I'm getting my VM set up w/ necessary software so I can write a sample web application that will be used in a 2-hour interview I have on Wednesday, via phone & GoToMeeting. I hate writing code on the weekends, especially stuff that will get trashed after it's done. Rave: If the phone interview goes well, the in-person followup will basically be a formality and a glorified mini-vacation to Austin to go bar-hopping and find a place to live.
Rave?: Had no inclination to go to work tonight, being dog-tired as I am. But I have pink eye, so I can't go in! Yay?
Rant: My first TiB ban. Rave: My first TiB ban! It feels like the old board aaaalll over again, and the memories are good. It seems even when I'm not on a site specifically to troll it I still subliminally send out the "ban me, I'm a dick" vibe. Also apparently lightheartedly combining antisemitism, homophobia, and questioning a mod's sexual preferences in two brief sentences all unrelated to thread focus is a bannable offense, who knew? Rant: Went out on that date last night, but it turns out the girl has a loud bark but zero bite. She was texting me all friggin week about how excited she was to go to this concert with me, but then once she got there she turned into a wallflower and didn't want to do anything at all. Drink? No thanks. Talk? What. Dance? Uhhh, I'm scared. Go sit down somewhere? I think I'd rather stand against this wall and not interact with anyone until it's over. Wow. What a dud. That and she had a pretty bad cold, so I wasn't really digging diving in at the cost of being a plague victim for thanksgiving week. At least I got drunk at my buddy's place and met a bunch of cool people from all over the world after she awkwardly walked home. Rave: Got to see two free drive-in movies and all I could eat pizza and snacks two nights ago. That was pretty awesome. Rant: I was supposed to go down to LA and have dinner/drink/go bowling or to a movie or something with a second girl, but it's logistically impossible and I'm stuck at work until sunday. Damn. Rave: There's a 12 hour LAN party on campus today, so I'm going to spend all day eating free food and downloading games off the network. And tonight I'm invited to a Poker game with the international guys, which should be fun. I'll also give the wallflower a call and see if she would be more comfortable somewhere less public and intimidating, but I don't have my hopes that high for her. Rave: I've decided to take next week completely off work to hang out with people coming in to town for thanksgiving. Rave: It's been an exciting couple of days, and it doesn't seem like next week will be that bad either. Rave: My car's finally fixed! I'm mobile again, and I have the capacity to carry large amounts of stuff wherever I go! Rant: The cost of buying the car and getting it in working order has put me in a situation where I can't afford to refuel it until my next paycheck comes in, which is almost 2 weeks from now. Damn. Rave: This means I can FINALLY get myself a proper gym membership and start working out again. Not being able to go to the gym has been driving me nuts on an almost daily basis.
MEGA FUCKIN RAVE: I just stopped at an old folks home that my friend runs to ask him what was up for football watching tomorrow and I witnessed the following exchange between a VERY young pretty nurse and a VERY old naked man in the hallway. Nurse: Don't you think you should cover up? Old Man: Why the fuck should I? Nurse: To show some modesty and save you the embarrassment. Old man: Missy, you don't have to be modest when you have something that looks like a toddlers arm holdin an apple swinging between your knees. You seem to be the one embarrassed, not me. You wanna touch it? Nurse turned bright red and the old man just shuffled on about his business. I love it when crotchety old people remind me why we don't do the whole "Logan's Run" thing.
Rave: Impressed El Capitan with my awesome flying ability on the first flight. Rant: Made a few stupid mistakes on the second flight that could have cost me if El Capitan hadn't been so generous. RAVE!!! 4 more flights!!!
Rave: Great deal on tires and looking forward to some great UFC tonight Rant: People that don't understand that the word 'nigger' doesn't have to involve race or color, simply behavior. That word is an ugly one and it applies like Cunt sometimes does. Fuck man. Rave: $5 Pitchers of Killians at the bar that is showing the UFC for free.
Rave: Spent the day in Fort Scott with my sisters and my niece. I had a good time hanging out with them, it had been several weeks since I had seen them. Rave: While in Fort Scott I hit the liquor store and picked up some Four Loko, I guess I'm going to join the party and see what all the fuss is about. Rant: I'll be staying home again tonight, damn I need a life.
Rave: Weekend full of jet ski's and bikinis...in November. Rant: Studying on a saturday because of finals.
RAVE: Met the infamous Pussy Galore tonight - and had a fucking blast. Two hot redheads in the state of Georgia? Yes, yes, it is possible. RAVE: While we were conversing about the lunatics on this board, some drunk guy decided it was time to attempt to hit on the hot redheads. One mention of my profession and the fact that I'm authorized to carry a large firearm sent him away quickly. Being in probation has some advantages. Awesome night all around.
RaveMeanwhile just southeast of you I was in Macon playing rugby. I took man of the match honors for ripping a couple guys apart in a losing effort but we came back and won the after party! RantI also leaned out the side of the car at 80 mph on the way home and chucked my guts up. I'm still not sure what's on my rugby shorts. Fuck you, Four Loko. You sneaky asshole.
Rant/Rave: Tonight I was at a bar where is was semi-busy. The male bartender had an attitude all night, and walked past me several times without any fucking eye contact or anything. I was with 6 people, and would act like we were asking him to do the impossible when we ordered drinks. After closing my $50 plus tab on a $4 you call it night, I couldn't take it anymore after it taking 15 minutes to get a draft beer. I wrote on the tip line "lose the attitude." He got upset, and came up to me asking "Did you write this? Is this you?" I took a sip from my last drink and said "Yeah, it was definitely me." "Did you see how busy I was? How could you say that?" "I've been to bars all over this city. There is a difference between busy and good customer service, and busy bad customer service. Guess which one you were?" "You're a fucking douchebag." "You're a bad bartender. End of story." Fuck that. I tip good service graciously, especially when drinking. I will not, under any circumstances tip complete assholes. I don't care how fucking bad your day was, when you're working, you leave that shit at home. This was the first time in my life I've ever been called a douchebag. Thank god I'm never going to that bar again in my life.
RAVE: I decided to hit up my investment account for funds for a new PC. I'm now with a shiny Intel Core i5 with 4 gb RAM, H55 motherboard and a 1tb hard drive. I was starting to jones for a game that was newer than 5 years old, which is all my dad's old shitty P4 3.2gHz can run. RANT: Stuck with shitty Vista Ultimate 32-bit, since I don't have the funds for Windows 7 at the moment, and had this unused copy of Vista Ultimate lying around collecting dust. As such, Vista, since it's 32-bit, can only recognise 3gb of RAM. Boo. RAVE: Working PC. FUCK YES!
Rant: I hate when the internet reminds me that I am in fact not funny and have no business operating a twitter account.
Rant- Remember that old episode of The Simpsons where Bart receives the walkie-talkies for his birthday and tricks everyone into thinking a boy was stuck in the well? Homer calls the trapped boy a hero and Lisa asks what makes him heroic. Homer doesn't have an answer. This is very similar to the Chilean miners story. Yes, it must suck to spend that much time in a hole, but stop calling them heroes. Being a hero requires a choice to do something. Fighting in Afghanistan or rescuing a baby from a burning building is heroic. Sitting in a hole and not killing each other is not.
