Hahahahaha My ex called me a day or so ago, and among other things was bitching and complaining to me about how broke she is. I think she forgot that she is a public employee and that her income is easily found on the internet. Her income in '07 and '08 was a combined figure well north of 6 1/2 figures...it was closer to 7 figures then 6. And that doesn't include '09. It's nice to see that she can still spend money like a drunken sailor with a fistful of $20's in an Asian whorehouse. Rave! It's not my problem anymore.
RANT! Due to the location of my surgery, I can not take a shit without the aide of a stool softener. This part of the prescription has not arrived yet. I have had to shit since 11:30am. I am slowly going crazy.
Rave: In the past two weeks I've sold more equipment than the previous three months and things show no signs of letting up. Rant? Rave?: In typical greedy, spend-it-while-we-have-it American fashion the boss is taking me car shopping tonight. I guess the company can afford to replace my ride now. I'm not complaining but it does make me shake my head at the idiocy of it all. Rave: Long weekend = more skiing!
RAVE: Got an email from the Editor in Chief of a major car magazine, telling me I'd make a fine auto writer and he'll keep my resume on file. Things are looking up.
Rant: Our friends funeral was today, and the wake was last night, so its been a tough day or so. I've only ever had to deal with elderly relatives passing away, the sort of thing that you are expecting and ready for. When a someone you know this well dies suddenly at only 21 years old, its pretty rough to deal with. Rave: She was a pretty awesome girl and had a shit ton of friends. We got together last night after the wake and got good and drunk and had some Irish Car Bombs in her honor. The circumstances could be a hell of a lot better, but it was really nice to see so many friends together in one place. Rave: I almost feel like a bad person for saying this but since she was an OU sorority girl, I couldn't help but notice how many smokin' hot girls were at the funeral today. Hey, I'm just a guy. Rest in peace Julia...you will be missed.
Rave: I saw my first on-the-bus fight today. I'm surprised it took so long. I think middle-aged black guy (whom I would not mess with) was getting challenged to duel levels by a 20 year old, and while withdrawing from the bus got the wigger to come out and fight and ambushed him at the door, putting his back into seats a couple times before it was broken up leaving black guy walking away and wigger on the bus with the witnesses and camera trying to look badass. I'd like to think that that was some awesome tactics. Strangely, wigger got on the same route bus I caught 20min. later after getting groceries. His Discman hit the floor with some velocity after a short stop, but he didn't seem to care because I think he had already learned a lesson; don't go out to fight someone while awkwardly holding a Discman.* Rant: It will likely rain on me tomorrow. Riding the bus isn't all amusing anecdotes when it doesn't drain right by the stop and people (mainly driving pick-ups) couldn't give a fuck at 6:30. Rave: Everybody in charge will be gone tomorrow, I have nothing exciting to work on, fuck it, I'm taking vacay. There was another lesson, but I don't think he learned it.
RAVE: Happy fuckin' new year. After a month of fruitless job searching, I had an interview today and I have two more next week. RANT: I'm not brimming with excitement about any of them. Oh well. At this point I'll take what I can get. Quitting my stable, well-paying job of two years in November seems like less and less of a good idea every day. RAVE: Boston Beer Summit this weekend. That's 60 breweries, 200 beers, live music -- all with no driving necessary. I'm still getting used to my new city, and what better way than to drink my weight in local microbrews?
Rave/rant Posted "What's shakin' Haiti?" on my facebook page. Probably knocked a few buddies off my list with that one.
Rant: Can’t quite describe the sinking feeling I had last night when I had a blow out on my favourite pair of double pluggers. Rave: I brought a fresh pair last week ready for Australia day just in case this happened. Nothing like strolling around on mid 30 degree day in a fresh pair thongs.
Rant: My baby cousin came over today and spent about 5 hours on my computer typing furiously while I sat on the couch listening to music. I had a damn good buzz going before she showed up. After 5 hours or so she came over and crumpled on my shoulder crying her eyes out. Her first real boyfriend broke up with her a couple of weeks ago and she decided to invite him to a school dance even though he dumped her for her best friend. He declined. Christ. I wouldn't be 16 again for all the money in the world, I remember going through that shit. I kind of tore into her about letting this shit get to her and she just cried even more. "It's all my fault" she sobbed and I tried to set her straight that if the dude dropped her the first time another girl showed attention to him he's a piece of shit and not worth her time. It took about an hour or so but I had her laughing in the end. My family is full of heartless bastards and damn it, she's going to end up just as heartless as the rest of us...she just needed a nudge in the right direction to become jaded. Rave: While she was crying all over my shirt she whispered "I love you cousin toytoy, you're the only one that listens to me." (And yes, she does preface my name with "Cousin"...apparently it's a southern thing.) The first person to leave a comment saying something about me fucking her is going to get a shotgun up their ass. She was abandon by her mother and father and raised by my aunt. I'm the only father figure she's ever known.
Ive read the above 8 times, does anyone else think he is talking about gay sex? Pluggers (double pluggers actually) and the man thongs? I would google this shit but I'm on a work computer, and I don't think they would like the search results. Edit for the post below mine: If you were in the civilized world and said that- people would assume you got in a fight with your two gay lovers, but that's ok, since you bought new ones last week, and will be wearing woman's underwear while it is cold out. Rant: still working at 9pm.
Rant/Rave??? Just to clear it up. These are thongs. Double pluggers are stronger ones that dont break when kicking the footy.
My sleeping schedule is all sorts of fucked up. Haven't gone to sleep before 4 this week. It's currently 3:21 here. I'm also tired of sleeping into the afternoon. Ugh.
Rave: I am spending 2 months in Utila Honduras to get my Dive Master and Instructor certs for Scuba! Rant: Its fucking Expensive..........fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck Rave/Rant: No job means I get to do this!
Rave: For some reason one of my company's products was on 30 Rock tonight. It was odd, as it was just sitting in a hallway unused.
Rant: Listen, I know the real Frida Kahlo had a unibrow and all that and they were trying to stay true to her and all, but why the fuck did Selma Hayek have to sport that disgusting thing on her brow. The real Frida wasn't really hot, but they went out and got a super hot actress to play her. They could have at least done away with the brow. I watched the movie earlier and I couldn't stop staring with disgust at it. It turned what may have been a decent movie into an absolutely terrible cinematic experience for me. Anyone else share this sentiment?
Rave: I hate to gloat about job-related stuff when there's still so many looking for work, but I just sat for my 6-month evaluation and the company I work for is creating a new position for me and gave me a sizable raise. I'm fucking psyched. Rave: Since my boss is awesome, we always close the office at 1:00 before any holiday weekend, Martin Luther King day included.
