Rave: The hostel I'm currently staying at has all rooms with 2 bunks each in them. For the first two nights, I shared my room with a couple who stowed their stuff in one bed and slept together in the other, and it was awkward. They left this morning, and I had high hopes of getting the room to myself for at least the night when it was 5 or so and no one else had come in. Right as I assumed this to be true, the door opened and my heart sank. Until I learned that I'll be sharing it with three RIDICULOUSLY HOT GUYS FROM PARIS. Awwwwwwww yeahhhhhhhhh. Even more rave: Two months of traveling by myself has pretty much ironed out any of my awkwardness, so I've actually been totally smooth and they think I'm really cool. Orgy, please?
Rave: Back in the wee days of 2006, IWSJ had a girlfriend of 3 years whom he dumped, named "Karen". Smash cut to 2008 when IWSJ started hooking up with hot girl "Melanie" who, by happenstance, became close friends with Karen 6 months earlier. Karen did not take lightly to her new BFF Melanie hooking up with her ex, IWSJ. The friendship didnt quite end, but soured rather quickly and they became not as close. Double smash cut to July 2011 and Karen is getting married in a month to "Fat Adam" and IWSJ doesnt care/couldnt be happier for Karen. Melanie calls IWSJ out of the blue and after three years of no contact to yell at him for nearly ruining her friendship with Karen and that shes not in the wedding party and related festivities because of it. She also informs him that he has a little penis and the sex wasnt that great anyway. IWSJ politely replies that he can readily inform Karen that Melanie had also hooked up with Fat Adam AFTER they became engaged. *Click*
A good friend just got diagnosed with colon cancer. It's the same disease that killed her father. The kicker? She's turning 33 this year. Jesus. Apparently she's undergoing surgery in two weeks to have pieces of her removed, and they think they can avoid chemo, but still. The only "good" thing I can say about this is that suddenly my problems seem trivial and manageable. I hope she'll be okay.
Rant Got offered a job with a beer distributor yesterday and accepted it. Filled out some paperwork then went off to take a drug test and "physical" test. The physical test was THIS. This test consisted of being hooked up to a Nautilus-style machine that tested your knees, shoulders, and back for past and possible future injuries. Well, I failed the stupid CRT test. I'm 32 and have never been injured nor do I have any pains. I'm in more than decent shape. In fact, in April I passed the Firefighter Ability Test and I've been training for a law enforcement position with the DMV since then. Its fucking bullshit that I get denied a job because of some arbitrary number given by a machine. Rant Dos I'm in Fayetteville, NC to try out for the DMV position tomorrow morning. Ever been to Fayetteville? I know there are drugs being dealt at this hotel, I'm just hoping that no one is cooking meth here. Observational Edit: It seems like this hotel is a hotspot for Army guys to come and get fucked up off-Base. Also, Fayetteville is a fucking shithole.
Rant: I get so lonely sometimes. It's been harder to deal with as of late... I don't know why. I barely have any friends, I'm depressed and broke as fuck. My family keeps asking me to do stuff with them, but I don't want to. I want to hang out with people my own age. I want to be normal and I hate that I never will be. Late at night, I browse OkCupid. I look for any girl that will talk to me, not many do. It doesn't matter how clever or interesting my message is, they're just not interested. It seems like I've been rejected by every girl ever and I've started to wonder what, exactly, is so wrong with me. Why doesn't anyone want me?
??????: Going on 'vacation' to Florida until Monday to see the GF's family. I love them and all, but Florida... in July? Fuck me. Rant: Flying Southwest down there, our flight is at 2:25, I checked in at EXACTLY 2:25 yesterday and got the B section, I was at least expecting the plane to not be busy.
RAVE: Heading to south lake tahoe in about an hour for the weekend for my buddy's bachelor party. Should be an awesome time, since it my core group of really great friends. There will be 8 of us ripping it up. Rave: I start my sky diving certification classes in September. One step closer of fulfilling my dream of becoming Bryan Mills. Rave: I already have my Rescue SCUBA certification and my own gear. Since the classes are in Monterey I will be doing an 18,000' skydive they offer followed by a scuba dive.
Rave: Picked up an additional 11 hours this week. Fuck yeah Rant: Front part of my catalytic converter rusted off and now I have to walk to work. Got a 3 mile walk in 100 degree weather..I really need to learn the bus schedule
Rave: This sundress is the only thing that's keeping me safe from contemplating suicide - because today Toronto is hotter than a baby in a microwave. Double Rave: I think Pepper's pet insurance is going to cover the $400 bill. Triple Rave: Tonight I plan to sit in my underoos, and drink cold beer in front of the air conditioning vent, while doing absolutely nothing. Also, this name kicks ass:
Rant: Now, this may be "normal" for some of you in Texas or wherever, this is decidedly NOT in Washington DC. Fuck this shit.
Rant: Fuck it. From this day forward the only use I have for men outside of conversation will be as orgasm delivery providers. This relationship stuff is bullshit and it's over like Lindsay Lohan's career.
Rant: To agree with some other rants, holy shit it is hot outside. 102 with a heat index of 112. Last night, the low was 90. My Air Conditioner has been running pretty much non-stop. I am scared of my upcoming electric bill. Rave: At least my Air Conditioner works. A friend just moved into an apartment, but the AC was broken. We told her she is free to sleep on our couch or in our spare bedroom on the air mattress until the heat wave breaks, but thus far she hasn't taken us up on the offer. Rant: It is because her boyfriend dislikes us. She is my wife's oldest and best friend, but her BF gets jealous when she spends time with us. He also knows that she used to have a crush on me... in high school... 10 years ago... and instead I dated her friend/my current wife. This man is a douche. Rave: Poker game tomorrow night.
rant: it's 90 at my desk. Rant: Just got off the phone with Facebook. Jesus Christ. that woman was a breathintothemouthpiecetalkingreallyloudandreallyfast speaker. It was exhausting. Rave: We're hooking up with a radio station next month for a promo. That's rad. Bigger Rave: I love Lululemon hot shorts. They're wicking, short, and don't ride up.
Rant: This goddamn beard is hot as fuck when it's 100+ outside. Rant: I am now on day 23 straight of 12 hours on, 12 hours off. Rave: The Girl is coming to visit tomorrow, yay for sex! Rave: I can pay for her trip and everything we do while she is out here, because of the money I am making working 23 goddamn days straight. Rant: No days off in the discernible future. Rave: I started reading the A Song of Fire and Ice series in the end of June. I am now 150 pages into ADWD. Going to be heartbroken when I finish it in the next week. I only read while at work. Rave: After a bunch of continual car problems with my shitty fucking 1997 Chevy Cavalier, I went out and bought a Honda CR-V. Its roomy and much more rig friendly. I had the money for it off the bat. Rave: My hours may suck, but my job is goddamned easy, In the last two days I've watched the first two seasons of It's Always Sunny, and read a bunch in my air conditioned trailer. Life could be worse.
Rave My FWB is absolutely going to be doing the exact same thing today - just like she's been doing all week so far. Rant I'm genuinely afraid of joining her today; she's frighteningly close to becoming a Stage-5 Clinger.
Rave: Seattle has recorded slightly more than 80 degree weather for a total of 90 minutes, spread out over two days. I enjoy the fact that my balls are not sticking to my leg and hope it continues. Rave: She's not pregnant as of Tuesday. Rant?: I don't know if I'm single because of this. This sucks because I like her. She's working until she's off on Wednesday. She starts work right when I finish, so I get to wait a week. Great.
Rant- I really don't think I've ever been this bored. I'm taking classes at a school in LA, and without a car or a friend with a car, I'm marooned on campus. There is jack shit to do here. Rave- Only 15 days until I get to go home and see friends, family, and my puppy.
Just got back from the mountains. It was 70 degrees when I left this morning. I drove 685 miles home in 9.5 hours. I may have bent a traffic law or two. Went canoeing a couple of times with the middle one and had a blast. Went to a minor league game with the oldest last night and the First Base coach tossed him a foul ball which he though was the absolute height of cool. My daughter caught her first fish on Tuesday. That smile will keep me warm at night for years. Good times all around.
Rant: Fuck all of you complaining of the heat. Yesterday it was raining so hard it was bouncing off the ground. And today the sun hasn't peaked out behind the clouds.
