Rant: While coming home from the bar last night, my room mate received a phone call from his Dad, asking him to come down to the hospital. His Mom was diagnosed with cancer a few years ago, and after a lengthy battle, passed away early this morning. I've lost all my Grandparents, but can't even imagine losing my Mom. There are many things a 24 year old has to deal with, but losing a parent should never be one of them. Fuck cancer.
Rant: Raise your hand if your currently stuck in an elevator right now. *Raises Hand* Son of a bitch.
RAVE X2: And it was glorious. I'm surprised we didn't trigger the apocalypse. Perhaps if we added some others to the mix. Frank? Scotchcrotch? Viking33? I promise I won't mug you. At least not before January. RAVE: Double checked the requirements for obtaining a carrying permit in Georgia and, lucky stars, my "youthful indiscretions" have not disqualified me. Eastman's in January is going to be like my five year old self in a candy store. RAVE: New car. New GPS. New haircut. New gun [soon]. New new new! RANT: Damn GPS talks too much. I need to read the owner's manual and figure out how to shut the voice off.
Rant: Fucking amazon customers. I sold these basically new snowboard bindings on amazon and the guy who bought them says that a decal was scratched and the back strap wasn't working. When I shipped them they were in perfect working order. Now he wants me to take $20 off. Fuck that Ill sell them at my board swap for the price I want. I'm going back to eBay where I don't have any problems.
Rant: How did I manage to forget that my typical five kilometer walk at the park would require 200% more effort now that there's 8" of powder? My god, what a trek. Rave: Six loads of laundry, house cleaned, chicken stew in the slow-cooker, two homemade loaves of bread rising and 24 chocolate chip oatmeal cookies baking in the oven. I just have to finish crocheting this afghan (Christmas present), and you may refer to me as Martha Stewart. Rant: I can't fucking handle Jimmie Johnson winning five consecutive championships. I seriously can't. Harvick or Hamlin, you gotta step up to the plate guys. Win one for the Gipper.
Rave: Made my goal weight for November, one week early. Rant: It came out of my boobs. All of it. Now I look even worse than before. AND I had to spend a million hours trying to figure out my new bra size. Double Rant: Haven't fucked in over two weeks because I'm an idiot who can't figure out how to repress her awkwardness in order to continue sexytimes with a smart, hot, feminist man. It's just not fair...you can't get me hooked and then leave me hanging. It was easier when I didn't constantly remember what I was missing. Somebody call the waaaahmbulance. Small, not really even worth it Rave: No-shave November has been started. Oh yes, it has been started. Chewbacca Chic, here I come.
Rave: Gloriously lazy weekend. Was in my pajamas all weekend and barely did shit. Today, I did laundry and picked up around the house, but otherwise it was a weekend dedicated to Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and drinking. Fucking awesome. Double Rave: Really easy week coming up. 3 classes, then Thanksgiving Break.
Rant: I finally got a cute girl to talk to me an Ok Cupid, but when I told her that I still live at home it was a deal breaker. The ratio of fat/ugly chicks to decent ones on there is like 50:1. I am tired of my luck with women. Rave: Family Guy was good tonight. It is hit or miss but is still better than most anything else on television.
Rave: Annndddd I'm done studying for this last licensing exam..... time for my last appointed tryst with that sultry minx known as the USMLE in 2 days. Rant: This of course means the end of my easy rotations for the rest of this year..... time to become slave labor on the wards. Rave!: After this test I can now read at my leisure every night instead of cramming.... plus now I have time to chase some of the hotter nursing students at the hospital without having to worry about time commitments. Triple Rave: Pats pulled off an incredible win tonight! This is a good omen for things to come.
RANT The Browns force 5 turnovers today, yet still can't muster any offense to take hold of the game. Unacceptable! RANT My body hates me right now from this 3 day bender I've been on. RAVE Thanksgiving...should be a good week.
Rave: Best weekend in a really long time! I got a ton of studying and work done yesterday so I could fly down to Houston this morning for a family mini-reunion. My dad has 7 siblings, and each sibling has at least 3 kids. So, my family is huge. Some of them I hadn't seen in over 13 years. My uncles are known for filling your wine glass when you've taken about three sips. I don't know how much I drank because I never fully finished a glass without an aunt or uncle topping me off. The Irish love their alcohol. Rant?: While I was there I spent more time with my brother and his girlfriend. She's a really bright, cute girl, but observing their interaction is borderline painful. They don't communicate well and have disparaging senses of humor. I could see my brother trying so hard and she just sat there with her arms crossed, completely rigid. He's a pretty funny guy, and after telling a story/joke he had to explain it to her...killing the humor. I tried joking around with her, giving my brother a hard time about his quirks to no avail. She was just so stiff and awkward. Maybe it's a difference in culture. None of their strengths or weaknesses work well together. They're just wrong for each other. I hope they realize that because I'm definitely not saying anything to him.
Rant: I have had some issues with depression in the past and I can sense them starting to creep up again. Guess it's time to call the dang therapist up so I don't end up offing myself. Rave: Being self-aware enough to deal with this shit before it gets too bad.
RAVE: As stated in this previous rave, I enjoyed a live sports marathon that was destined to be remembered. Unfortunately I was black out drunk most of the way, but saw all three of my teams march to victory. Knicks held on against the Warriors on Friday at Oracle Arena. Saturday I caught Stanford's shellacking of Cal in Berkeley. Today I caught the Bucs' shutout of the Niners. I also had a nice parlay across my weekend venture and all three covered. Also won money on Sergio Martinez' knockout of Williams. Knockout of the Year easily. Turned the free $50 I got from my sportsbook into $700 just in time as I will be moving in a month and a half. Hooray!
Rant: Currently on the flight home from Detroit. This is a rant because I had to stay in Detoit last night. My flight from Miami was delayed so of course I missed my connection. The hotel I stayed in smelled like a hooker's asshole. I felt like I was going to be shanked in my sleep. Oh yeah, I didn't sleep really because the sheets creeped me out too much. Either way, I'm glad I'm getting out of this hellhole. Rave: I got bumped to F class and I'm typing on here from the free wifi with my droid. I love technology.
RAVE: I have eight Hungarian Kempo students visiting, with two of my friends from down South. RANT: I have eight Hungarian Kempo students visiting. They are sleeping in my garage. I feel like I'm a people smuggler. RAVE/RANT: No one has been knocked out yet. RAVE: My four year has them holed up in the garage, as they're too afraid to come out and face him.
