Rave: Hefty tax refund thanks to our first-time home-buyer credit. Time to finish the basement! We were expecting Uncle Sam to fight us and demand more paperwork to prove we met all the date requirements, as our accountant told us that they're fighting almost all of them. I guess we got lucky.
Rant: Mediacomm is the worst service provider of tv and cable on this planet. Spoiler They have a commercial on tv about some chick watching youtube videos that stop, load, and start again when she didn't have mediacomm. After she switches, all the load problems go away. BULLSHIT!! Your service is complete and utter horse shit. I can't watch any video on the internet without it sputtering and stopping. And your tv? We get like 10 HD channels that, half the time, don't show up in HD because your service sucks cock. Fuck you mediacomm and your corner on the market in this little Military town. Fuck you very much. Rant: I have some sort of infection/disease that has my sinus's all plugged, I cough, sneeze, and it's hard to breathe. Sunnova B. Rant: PFT this Friday. Gotta bust out 20 pullups (easy), 100 situps (easy), and a 3 mile run in a reasonable time (like under 24 min, not easy in my current state). Rave: A lot of my good friends are starting to finish Helo school and are getting their Wings. Most of them so far have gotten their aircraft they want, which is good news for me. I just gotta finish. Est. time of my Winging: end of June, beginning of July. Can't wait.
Rave: Remember that whore who tried to fuck over the Duke lax guys? Check it. Some people learn how to bounce back from stupid/irresponsible decisions. She is not one of those people. Good riddance.
Rant: Exhausted. Worked 9-5 today then went to a meeting with my professor immediately afterwards to go over my final paper topic and to get some grades back. Rave: Got an A on my big paper that counts for 30% of the class grade and 2 more A's, giving me As on 70% of my class assignments. Now for the final 30% on the last paper. Still, quite excited about that and feeling good! Rant: STOP TEXTING ME, BIRDFACE. I PURPOSEFULLY SCHEDULED OUR DRINKS DURING A FUCKING TORNADO SO I COULD OPT OUT AND NOT HAVE TO GO!
Rant: Broke my vape whip glass earlier today. It was sad having to turn it off without using it. Rave: Climbed my first 5.11 at the indoor climbing gym. I'm a rank amateur using FAR too much mongo-smash upper body energy for the more difficult routes but it still felt good to make it to the top. Spent most of my time working on technique on easier routes... and I can feel the improvement which is nice. 2 months till climbing in AZ.
Rave: Pens won. Rave: Found my old cache of band posters and flyers from the days of my wasted youth. It's odd to see how opening bands got big. Rant: Also shitty knowing that none of these venues exist anymore and most have in fact been gentrified and 95% of the record stores where we used to purchase tickets closed up shop long ago. Rant: Just exacerbates how I sometimes feel like time is passing me by. Get off my lawn.
Rant: Saved by the Bell...don't know why I watched you as a kid [every episode probably] because not one thing from this episode has made me laugh. But it does remind me that my first appreciation for the dark came in the form of Lisa Turtle. Straight fire.
RANT: This birthday blows. Have no money and spent the entire day doing chores. RAVE: At least it ends in 7 hours.
Rave: I'm so excited! My fiance is coming into town in less than a month. I wanted to do something extra special since he'll be gone on a deployment this summer, so I had my eye out. And guess what I found? $23 scuba diving lessons on Groupon (regular $100)! I bought two of those bad boys up lickity split. He is going to be so excited when we pull up to the scuba diving shop. Since he's stationed in Hawaii, he has mentioned wanting to learn how to dive for awhile now.
Rave: My friend will be in town in just over 24 hours. Rave: Thanks to a lot of hours at the gym, I look a lot better naked than the last time we saw each other. Rant: Gotta wax tonight.
Rant: Psycho sorority moms who control their daughters' lives are headaches. Rave: My kid has baseball tonight. Rant: Fuck these wildfires.
RAVE: I've been wanting to pick up a few silver dollars dated 1977 from the bank. Most of the time they don't have any, but yesterday they did. I was able to find a few 1977s, and also saw a 1922. It looked a little different, and I bought it as well since it was so old. Paid $1 each for them. Come to find out, the 1922 silver dollars are made of 90% silver. It's worth about $30 today, but was only worth $4 five years ago. I'm holding out hope that silver will continue to climb, so I didn't sell it. I feel like one of the Pawn Stars guys.
Rave: Classes are keeping be busier than fuck but I think I can end this semester as well if not better than any in the past. I have no final exams (a couple "final midterms") but most of what I have to do is a bunch of writing and a few presentations, which is what I excel at. Rave: I got the syllabus for my online History of Rock summer class, and I think I can complete it with less than a week's worth of time and only one eighth. Rave: Working my ass off is paying off in dividends. Rant: Let's see what these fucktards have to say for themselves... Spoiler http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/42647693 Rant: 2-3 inches of snow overnight. Fuuuuuuuck.
