Rave: No more hanging out at the hospital with my father-in-law, currently in Canada for one month of skiing.
Rave: I got a remote controlled toy for my birthday! Yay! Rant:For the second time in a few days my liver called me an asshole. I'm pretty sure I drank all of the shoooters in Calgary this week. Apologies to everyone else in this city if they end up disappointed and sober this weekend. Rant: On the weekend, Facebook disabled my account for abuse! Whaaaat? I did no such thing! I have followed the steps to correct this, but clearly I care more than FB. They have done nothing to fix this grievous error. It would be ok except that nobody outside of my inner circle knows it's my birthday. I'm delicate and NEED to see that wall of greetings. Fuck Facebook for making me feel unloved. Rave: Mucho blessings to dear, sweet friends that give such thoughtful gifts.
Rant: Been wanting to take the kids to Disney, only to realize it's going to take me something like 3 years or more to save up for it Rave: My aunt offered to pay for our trip, all expenses. We leave in April! Rant: I think I peed a little
Rave:Just got home completely covered in grease and transmission fluid with a newly installed clutch. Feelin pretty good right now, time for a celebratory drink. Rave: This came with the bottle of Jim Beam I picked up, Spoiler will look good on the living room wall next to this. All in all a good day. Spoiler
Rant: Goddammit. I have an unnatural fear of insects, Im high, and some inch-long assholes of a centipede just ambushed me when I opened my dishwasher. Rant: I'm sure he has friends. Rave: Raid. Too bad I can't spray that in the dishwasher.
Rant: Fuck me. This isn't going to go well at all. I'm getting reviewed at work today and I'm so fucking far behind it is unreal. Wonderful.
Rant: BL1Y's new site still isn't up despite today being the launch day. I can see why he is unemployed. Rant: Probably going to Boston to see the GF's friends tomorrow, they are the lamest group of people I know, it's fucking ridiculous. Rave: Sushi for lunch tomorrow, making it at home is so fucking cheap.
Rant: Cut my dick. Rant: Didn't even do it during something normal, like shaving. Nope, I was moving the laundry basket after getting out of the shower and some jagged piece of plastic on the underside of the rim scraped across my dick--no, dug into and scraped across my dick--drawing blood and starting off my day pretty much the worst way possible.
Rave: We were supposed to get rain but instead we got snow! Beautiful fluffy snow. Rave: The pup loves snow. Polar bear slides all over the place during our morning hike. Rant: Website launch pre-meeting with the design company today (actually RIGHT NOW... if they call this time). This will be attempt #3. Motherfucks have stood me up twice already this week. Just launch the fucking thing already. Why do we need to have a review meeting anyways?
Rave: My very good friend from high school who normally lives 3,000 miles away from me is currently at Ft. Lee, about 2 and a half hours south of DC where I live. He's a naval helicopter pilot, (Blackhawks, primarily CSAR), and he's deploying for his third tour in Afghanistan in a bit. He hit me up this morning and asked if he could come and hang out this weekend...and he's preparing to not drink for a year. I think there's gonna be some awesome. Rant: He's having to leave his wife and newborn son behind in san Diego. She's also a naval officer, so they know the drill, but it still sucks.
Rave: Woo Have a summer co-op job! Rave: It is going to pay roughly double what everyone else will be making this summer. Fuck yea Oilfield Rant: Moving...again...for 3 months to Calgary. At least its the summer in Alberta. Rave: FUCK YOU CO-OP OFFICE. You useless sack dicks. Seriously, could you be more unhelpful
RAVE: Going to see Ryan Bingham tonight with a genuinely interesting hippie girl. And she doesn't even smell that bad! Totally not my usual scene, but where's the fun in not branching out? RANT: I'm going to be expected to dance, and I still have two huge blisters from a climb of Mt. Sherman two goddamn weeks ago. Pain. RAVE: Having an excuse to wear house slippers everywhere for the past two weeks.
Rave: MO tax refund was deposited in my account yesterday. Rant: It's all gone. Rave: It's gone because I used it responsibly to pay bills and get some things caught up and/or payed off. I've been behind for months and now everything is square again, and there's even a little money left in the account to get me through the week.
RAVE: Bought a coffee Tuesday morning rolled up the rim and won a free coffee, I have now drank 5 free coffees from that one thanks to continually winning. Sorry Chater.
Rave: Got a call from the consulate to set up the in person interview for my residence permit, which pretty much means that I am all squared away. I can't imagine what I could say in the interview to kill my chances. I suppose I should learn my wife's favorite movies and all that stuff.
Rant: Girl 1 bailed because she was getting too attached and I didn't reciprocate Rant: It is revealed that Girl 2 bailed because she was getting too attached and I did reciprocate, and since women are crazy that terrified her. Rant: Girl 3 got in a car accident and had to bail on a semi formal the day before Rant: I bruised my testicle and I'm not entirely sure how. I suspect it did it to itself purely out of frustration. What a fucking week.
Rant: Becoming increasingly frustrated with a close friend of mine. We both were stationed together overseas and also happen to be from the same area in the USA. We talked about moving and getting a place together while we finish up school. I was going to take some classes at a community college this semester just to keep me occupied, but ultimately decided against it since he convinced me he was 'definitely' going to move in Feb. Well, obviously that didn't happen so here I am sitting around with my thumb up my ass hoping I'll be able to get into some summer classes. He got out back in August and still hasn't filled out a single college application. Rave: Learned a valuable lesson. Never depend on anyone else. From here on out I'm just going to "do me". Life will be so much easier this way.
