Rave: Sausage McMuffins. How are you so delicious? I consumed two of you this morning and could easily force down another 5 because you tasted so good.
Rant & Rave Thread Rave: sitting in the airport waiting for my flight to Vegas. See you cunts in 2011. Maybe.
Rave Dear Columbia House, I loved your 99 cent CDs. You signed me into a long-term contract to purchase more and I reneged. One of your employees called me and threatened my credit when I was only 15. I called your bluff.
Rant The fucking news channels don't know how to report the fucking weather. All they have been talking about for the past 2 days is the possibility of snow. It was supposed to snow this morning. It didn't. So what do those fuckers do? Show video of when it did snow, last year. This isn't sensational, its mother fucking nature.
Roommate bought me Neil Gaiman's American Gods for Christmas. Holy crap, what a storyteller. I'm annoyed at myself for not having read this guy's stuff sooner. Said roommate owns the complete Sandman series, so the other dozen books on the immediate reading list are going on the backburner.
Rant: My 6 year old, while getting himself ready for bed, decided to PURPOSELY piss on his bed and tell me he peed his bed really bad last night. Unfortunately, the bed was still bubbling with urine and warm. Fuck my life.
Rant: My dad's side of the family is so fucking classy. Apparently my cousin's wife cheated on him this weekend, or so it says on his facebook. His mom went one step further and shared this information (a comment on her own status thanking people for birthday wishes, she just threw this out there): "Was a sad day though. Had to see my son and grandsons hearts break because his wife is having affairs with his coworkers and now is spending the night with one shes barely known for two weeks and having sex with. How can people be so cold? He called her and I heard her just saying cruel things and then giggling and laughing at him as he tried to talk to her. And she said [the baby]s his problem, not hers. So sounds pretty over...sad day for all involved." Rave: One more day of work then a four day weekend!
Rant: I'm in New York now, Yankees are a bunch of impatient, rude, ass clowns. Fuck I hate this place and these people. Rave: On my way home back to Texas in two days, god I can not wait to be back in a state full of patient and hospitable, down to earth people...I miss home.
Rant: Woke up this morning with a fever of 102. It went away most of the day, but it feels like it is returning. Rant: Sleeping on the couch so I don't keep the wife awake all night coughing, tossing, and turning. Rave: Slept most of the day, and don't have shit to do tomorrow, so I'll just be up watching some DVDs. Being sick sucks, but it is worse when you have shit to do.
Rant: My boss submitted the wrong capital budget to the finance committee which got approved - so my 2011 budget is only 25% of what I asked for, and I was planning on a 50% worst case scenario. Next year's gonna suck hardcore; I might need to stash booze in my office just to make it through.
RAVE: Saw and recognized a pretty notable pornstar walking down the street near my place in Chicago yesterday. RANT: My initial pride and glee was offset by shame and mild embarrassment. What? Sorry, Im awesome with names and faces.
Rave: Watching not one, but two guys in cowboy boots and cowboy hats bust their asses in the snow this week. Wrong footwear, gunslingers. Double Rave: Holidays over. Winter tourist season over. Everyone gets to walk at a normal pace again. YANKEES WIN. THHEEEEEEEEE YANKEES WIN.
Rave: It's 66 degrees and sunny here in west central Missouri. Rave: Off work at my morning job until Tuesday and other than making one delivery tomorrow for my afternoon job, I'm done there until Tuesday as well. Rave: Making lasagna for dinner.
Rant: I love it when the windchill means that a t-shirt, heavy cotton hoodie, fleece inner lining, heavy duty outer shell jacket with insulated hood, balaclava, scarf, jogging pants, snow pants, thermal socks, hiking boots and fleece double-lined mittens means that I still freeze my ass off at the park. I was hoping to NOT have to bust out the snow mobile boots, but it may happen yet if this keeps up. Rant: Passive-aggressive, grumpy people who take their bad day out on me. I'm not out in this weather because I enjoy it; you asked me, so please, if you are in a bad mood, fake being in a good one because it's the polite thing to do. None of this was my fault. And while I'm in a bitchy mood, one more Rant: Tomorrow is December 31st. Turn off your fucking Christmas lights, everybody. While I can appreciate waiting until next week to remove them, the time for them to be turned on has come and gone.
Rave Used some Christmas cash to buy the first volume of the original Batman animated series. It still holds up pretty damn well. I didn't realize Danny Elfman composed the score for the show. It's a shame the same level of effort isn't put into most shows (animated or not) like they did with BTAS. Shame, really.
Rave: My replacement laptop power cable finally arrived. Rant: I was just starting to enjoy not having a laptop attached to me 24/7. Rave: Read six books in six days. Half of which were the Game of Thrones series (I know it's called something else but I don't give a shit) which I'm happy I just got into. Rant: Made the mistake of running some errands with my friend/ new neighbor. I fully understand why men shouldn't shop together now. Holy fuck he is slow as shit. He was looking for a 10'x16'ish tarp. The first two stores we went to had the tarp. The price difference between store 1 & 2 was $1. At store 4 the tarp was $2 more than store 1. He wanted to drive 20 minutes in the wrong direction to go back to store 1 to save $2. He drives an F-350 diesel so he would have burned that in fuel 5 times over. Never again. Rant/Rave: I've got some major stuff on my mind regarding work. Having a sit down with the boss on Monday to negotiate. Wish it didn't have to wait till Monday. Edit Rant: I'm sick of a certain cheap ass friend. Motherfucker won our fantasy pool and I handed him a stack of cash ($450) when we were out at the bar with half the other guys in the league. Every single one of us bought a round or two and this dodgy cunt avoids it while drinking on us. To make matters worse we called him on it before the first round was even ordered telling him not to skip out like a bitch. Especially because he doesn't have wife, kids, rent or mortgage to worry about because he lives at fucking home.
Rant: I have got to figure out a way to get out of my own head for a little while and stop thinking about depressing shit. Booze would probably only make it worse. Rave: My older brother found out he is going to be having a little boy. A niece would have been cool, but I think I will have an easier time with a nephew.
Rant The iPad sucks. The original laptop design was too convenient, so Apple said FUCK YOU, and designed it to lay flat. It's a novel concept that ended up straining a lot of users' necks. So now you get to buy an accessory that props the iPad up like a laptop because Apple tried to be cool. I also hate touch screens. My fingers are too fat and dirty to be able to use a touch screen all the time.
