Rave: Sex. Oh yes, Pinkcup's getting some on the reg. Funnily enough, everyone thinks that I'm taking recreational pharmaceuticals because I'm in such a pleasant and chipper mood all the time. No, people. It's just penis(es). Rant: Feelings. Still do not want. Rave: Both parents are going to be gone this weekend visiting my grandmother...I feel like such a teenager, but I'm excited!!! I'm totally going to get drunk and hook up and not come home- woo! Small victories. Rant: I was left in charge of my little brother, and I am worried that he legitimately cannot feed himself if I'm not around this weekend. I mean, he's 17 and going away to college this year...he should learn, right?! But I watched him circle the kitchen island and then stare confusedly at the stove for 15 minutes this afternoon, and then he asked me how to reheat pasta. I love the child dearly, so I would feel horrible about letting him starve. But he needs to learn these things at some point, yes? I think I'm going to make a casserole and then tell him to reheat that (I'll leave instructions on the reheating) if I'm not around to make him something. But FUCK.
Rave: First night of league play, and I come out beating my personal best by 3 pins. This is the second time I've come 4 strikes away from a 300 (the other being during my previous best of 265). I'll have my White Whale some day. Rant: The above game was sandwiched between a 149 and 150. What the hell? I've never had a more volatile series in 14 years of doing this. (Yes, I bowl for fun. Yes, I realize what kind of mockery this will set me up for.)
Rave: Bahm chicka wah wahw. Looks like tomorrow kuhjager will be posting over here in this thread. http://www.theidiotboard.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=1950 MFFF
RANT: The HVAC company who claims to be "faith based" and that I've been using for a year to maintain my system, tried to scam and bullshit me into buying a new one with obvious transparent sales tactics. Yeah, lets set up another "maintenance appointment" 2 months before tax refund checks are issued when we were just there 3-4 months ago and found NOTHING wrong with the system and give them bullshit gloom and doom news. Then we'll tell them "hey you can finance 12 months same as cash, but you have to act now, because prices are going up 12% next week" RAVE: Being old enough and wise enough to see right through their bullshit and telling them to go fuck themselves.
Rant: I think I need to find a new mechanic/builder. I've been friends with mine for a long time and we've built various vehicles together over the years. He lets me use his garage like it's my own if I ever need to do major repairs. Last year he and his new girlfriend bought a bar and now he's there whenever he isn't at the garage. That's fine but not when I've given him substantial amounts of cash to get my truck and now my Jeep projects wrapped up for a spring delivery. Rave: Went out for a few beers after the Celtics game with my buddy. He's a cop and very friendly with a substantial amount of women at the bar we went to. After a few drinks he asks me if I think the bartender is cute. I say she is. He asks me if I want to see her naked. Well of course. He opens his iphone gallery and shows me the girl. Naked. He points to two other attractive women down the bar and proceeds to show me photos of them as well. Now I know where all the fun girls are hanging out. Rant: Work is s-l-o-w as fuck. I was expecting 2011 to take off like 2010 but that ain't the case. Every industry is dragging its fucking feet. Seems to be contagious.
Happy birthday to me. Quarter century young. Here's to hoping the next 25 years are just as awesome as the first. Rant: Fucking Helo systems test in the morning. Gotta study tonight instead of drink, gotta wait for tomorrow for that.
Rave: This Bloke: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.news.com.au/national/he-emerged-victorious-from-a-hell-of-blood-and-fire/story-e6frfkvr-1225992077678" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.news.com.au/national/he-emer ... 5992077678</a>
Rant: I am exhausted. Rave: Because I stayed up late making out! Rant: And now my cat is acting super jealous. Ever since I walked in the door for my afternoon break he's been in my face/on my lap. Personal space, Kittay! It was cute at first; now it's slightly irritating.
Rave: Got a PS3 back, and they sent back my 500GB hard drive. Rant: Hard drive isn't set to work with my PS3, so I have to format it. This means I have to get something to back the hard drive up before I reformat it. This really only means I can't access all the saves I had on there. Rave: On the bright side, I'd just bought Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, so I can finally break into that tonight after my wife goes to bed, and just use my flash drive to make sure I don't lose the save. Rant: Just realized how big of a geek I truly am. Holy fuck. I need to go work out now to feel better.
Rave: Awesome guy friends who come and shovel your snow because they "don't want you to fall and hurt your pretty little... knee" and expect nothing in return.
Rave: Put my first few hours in at the new job. I'm thinking it'll go very well. They don't have the highest expectations due to some shitty interns and a hard work ethic is the first thing they want to see from me. Time to kick some ass. Rave: The bottle of Jack Daniels my sister gave me for Christmas is the ideal thing for right now. Free booze is the best kind of booze, but Christmas booze that is much better than the booze I typically drink is far better. Rave: Some quality marketing work on my part. Shit's paying off.
RANT #2: Not one of the libraries anywhere within a reasonable driving distance to me is open past 1pm today. It's a goddamn Thursday! Who the hell closes a library at 1 on a Thursday!!?? Now I have to sit at my house with earplugs in to study while my roommate watches tv, chews loudly, giggles, and makes all around loud noises. And I get made fun of because I need to study somewhere that's quiet...fuck this. I want to get drunk soooooooooo bad right now.
Rave: I am not one of those pathetic type of guys that goes and does something for a girl, tells her I'm not expecting anything in return, but secretly hopes to get sex out of it. Rant: Apparently I'm the other sde of the spectrum, asshole, oh well fuck that I can live with it, it's more fun to be an asshole then to have people walking over me.
RAVE I passed my two days of training and Tuefel is now home with me. RAVER His 1st thru 99th choice is to lick you to death, but the 100th move is clocked at almost 40mph out of the shoot and at over 300 ft lbs of bite pressure. (I'll post a YouTube of him tomorrow during his protection training on concrete...he spun a 200 lb man around despite no traction). RAVEST At the hotel lobby in Aiken, SC last night, and at three different shops in ATL tonight, he was licking everyone to death. I love that no one fears him and he is calm enough to keep his protection side a secret.
RANT: A half hour before 30 Rock, my TV gets blitzkrieged by four girls wanting to watch an independent dramedy about lesbian mothers and their search for their sperm donor. Guys, don't ever live with chicks you're not fucking. Oh well. At least this beats Grey's Anatomy. RANT: Sober. RAVE: At least they made cookies. A shit ton of cookies.
Rave: Good old Harry Plinkett has finally posted his review of Star Wars: Episode III. If no one here has seen or heard of this (and you have any interest in Star Wars), you need to start with his review of Episode I right now. Basically this guy has created the character of Harry Plinkett, a bitter, psychotic old man, to do reviews of various movies. There is a lot of comedy, but at the heart is a scathingly accurate review of the Star Wars prequels. It's like an older version of KIMaster, only much funnier, and with a penchant for Pizza Rolls. Almost forgot...Links: Episode I review Episode II review Episode III review
RANT: Girlfriend lives in a different town lame rant: Spoiler I work every other weekend till at least 3am. I like for my girlfriend to come down on my weekends off. She apparently cant be bothered to drive an hour and fifteen minutes though. She normally works on saturdays but ended up with this one off. I completely understand personal space and what not, but I would like to see her more than one day out of every fourteen. Not to mention I just dropped $900 on plane tickets for our spring break where I will continue to buy all of her food and booze and put her up for free. Am I really being that big of a pussy when I suggest she comes this weekend and does her own thing next when I have to work anyway? RANT: Wow that was faggish.
Rave: After 20+ years in the business l found a group of investors that want to put money into my restaurant idea. Rant: Unfortunately they want to do the restaurant in Hong Kong, which... changes things for me altogether.
Rant: Bought a $50 bottle of Scotch on the way home from work today, and I've drank almost half of it already. Don't even feel that drunk, that's the worst part of it. Rave: I fucking love scotch!
