Rant: Just got out of surgery. I have a 2" incision in one of the worst places imaginable...I'm fucking sore and nauseous. Rave: The surgery was successful. This is especially good news because one of the specialists was unsure before the procedure if they'd be able to find the problem when I wasn't presenting. Rave: My mom flew out and is taking care of me. Rave: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.ratemds.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">www.ratemds.com</a> This website is a godsend. After one catastrophic health care experience after another in this province, I found this site. What a difference! I hand-picked the specialists and demanded my GP refer me to those people specifically, and it worked out beautifully. Good hospital, fantastic nurses and not one but TWO different specialties attending to the procedure.
RAVE: free month trial of Netflix. RAVE: Netflix kicks all kinds of ass. My XBox 360 just got more awesome. MEGA FUCKING GIGANTIC RANT: The slag whore got the entirety of my tax return! I was unemployed for quite a while during my whole "trying not to be crazy and suicidal anymore" period. So I acknowledge that I have back support. I acknowledge that I should pay it. (Which is why I VOLUNTARILY had a wage garnishment set up for MORE than I was required to pay, and more than I can afford.) So I am not pissed that some of my taxes were sent to child support. I am pissed because while making shit money every dime I was supposed to get back was taken. The fiance and I are barely making ends meet, and I cant even get $500 back? RANT: Shit like this is enough to make me wish that a bottle of Vicoden, Unisom, and Vodka would have been enough to take my fat ass out of commission. RAVE: (I guess) I am at least not seriously entering suicidal thoughts. Once again hooray for personal growth.
Regarding my son's guitar he got for his bday: Rave: It wasn't the amp, it was the cord. Thank you, people at Guitar Center. For those who are about to learn 3 chords on a new guitar (my son), we salute you! (Hint from the guys at Guitar Center: No matter what package you get, if it comes with a guitar, an amp and a cord, the cord will suck.) Rave: Peavey customer service was actually nice and helpful, they are sending out a new amp anyway. Rave: My soprano saxophone arrived today! Tonka hates it, he gets into puppy attack mode and wants to beat the shit out of it when I play it.
RAVE: whatisinaname can go blow his brother Jim; our new race car showed up today. It's being shown at the Roger Jobs Porsche dealership in Bellingham next week, if anyone local wants to go see it. spoilered for pure awesomeness: RAVE: Just threw a big-ass steak on the BBQ, and opened a killer bottle of wine, and am going to go have me a nice dinner and a few drinks. RANT: WTF. I go away for a day and everything fucking implodes? I haven't sorted threw it all yet but I will when I finish eating. Fucking babysitting.
Rant? - You know those guys that you think to yourself "there's no way this guy doesn't touch children"? Well turns you you're probably right <a class="postlink" href="http://www.globaltoronto.com/Durham+teacher+arrested+child+porn+charges/4543105/story.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.globaltoronto.com/Durham+tea ... story.html</a>
RAVE: Went on a class trip with my son and wife to the zoo today and had a genuinely nice day. 10 degrees warmer would have been better, but still nice. RAVE: Homegrown rocks.
RANTYRANT: I have suffered a sports related injury for the first time in my life after playing sports competitively for 12 years at least. RANT: Tore a ligament in my foot because I went up for a layup playing pick up basketball and a buddy of mine nailed me midair and I landed awkwardly. Rave?: Percocet? I don't usually even use pills...but I may take a couple tomorrow to make it interesting.
HOLY CHRIST ON A POTATO STICK RAVE: New motherfuckin' guitar today! Picked up a sexy new American Standard at the good 'ole House of Guitars today, and they threw in a ton of shit with it. I am so happy right now.
RAVE: Chicago Cubs Opening Day RANT: It was 40 degrees and raining and the Cubs lost to the fucking Pirates 6-3. RAVE: Got to know an extremely attractive girl alot better, great sense of humor, and took alot of the shit talking and ball busting I gave her in stride and really impressed me. RANT: She is the new girl on my team at work and thus I probably shouldn't pursue it farther...fuck.
Rave: Saw Sucker Punch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KrIiYSdEe4E yesterday, enjoyed it. I get why the trailer looked all over the place, with the way it's shot must have been hard to break it down and explain why she was fighting steampunk nazi zombies at one point. (and 50 foot samurais, one with a gatling gun at another, I'm not giving anything away from the movie since they show it in the trailers). I assumed it was kind of like Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and I was right visually intense action representing what's really going on, though if not a more serious movie. Rant: I think that's why I had a really messed up dream about being imprisoned (Guess that's the only way to describe it) that had me feeling like shit.
Rant: That feeling of knowing that you're getting sick. Scratchy throat and a slight cough. Rave: Pounding back orange juice for the vitamin C, I love Orange juice.
Rave: I got pissed off yesterday, so I drove three hours to Columbus to watch a hockey game, which turned out to be really fun. Then I got some German food at a place called Schmidt's. Turned out to be a fun time.
RAVE: OKAY I GOTTA KNOW. How was Frylock banned? I squealed like a little girl when I saw it happened. Going to go cry tears of joy.
RAVE: Just saw a documentary called "Devils Playground." It was made in 2002 and it's about a bunch of Amish teenagers on Rumspringa. Alot of those kids could make Charlie Sheen look like a bitch when it comes to partying. Rave: I kinda want to be Amish now. Alot of the girls in that movie were hot.
Rant: Went to a yard sale today. I was interested in 2 items. I bought one. The item I bought: A bird bath that turned out to be made of a material that absorbs water, so anything I put in it gets sucked up. The item I didn't buy? 1st edition copy of "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" in mint condition for 3 bucks.
RAVE: I'm 24 as of an hour ago. I've been in a slight rut for the last 2 or so years, and I feel like I'm coming out of it... this could be a good year. Or a really shitty one, who knows... I suppose time will tell. RANT: Please tell me I'm just too drunk to understand sports recaps, and that the Canucks did NOT just lose to the Oilers. The Oilers?? Come on.
RANT: In the er for major testicle pain. RAVE: After test turns out to be just a contusion. No torsion or epididymitis. RANT: Still waiting to be released. RAVE: Percocet to soothed the pain.
Rant: Girl I've been sort of seeing stayed over last night, but would hardly do anything. Who the hell still thinks dry-humping is an acceptable bedroom activity? Ugh. Blue balls is real, guys. Rave: Got to see some boobies!
RAVE:Best weekend ever with my parents. WHY YOU LOVE PARENTS RAVE:I bought my parents a new truck two weeks ago, and they drove it up from FL. I am dying laughing because with still less than 1,000 miles on it, my dad has every possible sticker on it already. Any one that has served will recognize them all, but here's a short list: - Jump wings - Combat jump wings - Combat Infantry Badge - WWII, Korea, and Vietnam service ribbons - 173rd Airborne Brigade badge - God Bless America sticker - USAA sticker - US Paratroopers license plate - Christian fishy thing This man is serious about the military, the US of A, and god. He had me until the last one… *Note: I realize that his license plate number is shown. I'm not worried. They live in a gated community with security and he has has served thru three wars. If someone really wanted to find his address and visit, I'd recommend you stay the hell off of his lawn. At almost 86, I still don't ever want him pissed at me.
