Rant: Fuck Wednesday. I'm either working or in class from 8:30 am until 10:00 pm. Fucking loonnnggg day man. Now that I'm finally home the last thing I want to do is homework. And I have a fuck ton due Friday. Rave: Just ate a delicious steak and am having a glass (bottle) of red. This will be the new Wednesday tradition folks. Ohhh yes.
Ancient Rant: I was so pissed off when my old burrito place upped their prices by $0.50 on all items 3 years ago that I stopped buying lunch there every day. Modern Rave: Today I found out that a new burrito place closer to my apartment makes almost the exact style of burrito for LESS THAN HALF THE ORIGINAL PRICE OF THE OLD PLACE. Holy tits, I paid $2 for sheer awesome, and it came with free tortilla chips. Fuck yes there is a god, and he wears a sombrero and smiles on people who study way too hard and drink even harder and get huffy over a $0.50 price hike. Rant: The plan was to grow all my face and scalp hair ridiculously long to go as a caveman for haloween and then shave it all off and go Russian fresh-off-the-boat longshoreman for a while, but the guy with the clippers headbutted a mountain on his bike and broke his neck, so he sort of disappeared for a while. Rave: we're FINALLY back on track. I'll finally be saying "Da-svi-da-niya" to all this fucking scalp hair. Rant: I really can't stand having long hair, I'm not behaviorally equipped to deal with it, I have no idea what the hell I'm supposed to do with it and so it just gets all tangled and small rodents nest in it and shit and sometimes I find ancient Incan gold with cryptic inscriptions of small figures dancing around a bonfire with another figure wearing a conquistador helmet above the flames. What the hell does that even mean? Why can't the Europeans win against the oppressive native peoples just one time? Rant: I also miss being able to take a shower and have my hair completely dry before I even turn off the water. Rave: Things will be back to normal tomorrow afternoon.
Rave: Heading to Milwaukee after work today for what should be a fun weekend. I plan on getting pretty drunk. I also am getting almost every meal made for me by the girl that I bitched about last weekend. She's gotta make that shit up to me. Oh, I'm also taking a semi-half day today and not using PTO for it. Extra score. Rant: I have a shit ton to do before I leave which includes packing, buying some shit at the store, getting my oil changed, and dropping shit off at my parents. Oh well, worth it. Rave: I may end up being in Wisconsin for the Vikings game. Oh how sweet that would be to watch that at a bar. I'm bringing as much Minnesota stuff as I can (including my AP jersey).
Re: Rant & Rave Thread. Rant broke a serious dry spell last night, but that combined with 4 days without even jacking off had me coming in... a very short amount of time. About the time it'd take you to pour a glass of water. Seriously, that long. Nothing embarrassing about that. As if that wasn't awkward enough, I didn't help the situation at all by breaking out into fits of giggles for the next twenty minutes. I mean, really, that was funny. To me at least. Her, not so much. Actually, her being 29, you think she'd embarrass me further or kick me out or something, but she actually did the ol' "no, no, I'm flattered," which only made me laugh even more. The only good thing about this is that it happened with a girl I don't even like. Which, I swear to god, awful sex always happens with girls I don't like. I guess I'll take that over blowing it with girls I do. And to make the situation even better, she drunkenly knocked over the bottle of wine we were drinking on my clothes, which left my new shirt my sis got me for Christmas covered in stains. Man, this magic moment. Penthouse letters, here I come! Fuck my life.
RAVE: So after two home tests, it looks like I'm going to be a father. We've been somewhat trying for about 3 months, but she was coming off some birth control shot that supposedly can take up to a year to undo so I wasn't too hopeful. She is going to the doctor tomorrow to get a more precise test or whatever done, but it looks pretty official. It really hasn't set in yet that my life is forever changed, but I'm pretty excited and I know my wife will make a great mom.
Rant: People talking about their children. Maybe I don't understand because I don't have kids, which could totally be the case, however, when someone asks you how your son is, do you really need to tell everyone the COMPLETE story of how his appendix was thiiiiiiis close to bursting?! Can't you just say, "Oh, he's doing alot better, thanks for asking."??? And, if you're going to tell everyone the story, please keep it by your desk and not directly in front of mine. I'm trying to get work done. Rant Dos: Fat lady in accounting who talks to her 2-yr old on the phone. "Did you pee-pee?! Is your pull-up wet!?" "This is moooommmmyyyyyy sweeeeeetiiieeeee and I looooovvvveeee yoouuuuu!!!!" "Did you eat your coooookkkiieeeeessss!?!" C'mon people. I really don't think it would be that bad if she wasn't fat. Like, extremely fat. Rave: Went out to dinner for restaurant week last night with my old roommate from college. It was so refreshing to have a nice dinner accompanied by great conversation.
RANT: I hate to say this, but Jeff Foxworthy got it right... Whenever parents have sex, their friction emits a certain pheromone that wakes up the kids and draws them magically down the hall, usually when daddy is in "full-plow" mode. Nothing kills a boner like standing next to the edge of the bed with your wife's legs over your shoulders only to glance over and see your daughter's silhouette in the doorway. Trust me fellas. Lock the door.
Rave: I got my first interview next week. This is the first response to the 40 some odd cover letter/resumes I've sent out since July. Rant: Probably interviewing along with 100 other applicants. So probably not a high probability of success.
Rant/Rave? Today is the first day of my last semester of college. I'm not sure if I'm glad that I'm almost done, or worried that I'm going to have to get a real job soon. Rave: All my hard classes are already done, so I can pretty much relax, and have a lot more fun this semester than I have in the past. Rant: Only two more days of Conan on The Tonight Show. I know his ratings weren't very good, but 7 months still doesn't seem like a long enough time to give him. Hopefully he goes somewhere else and beats the crap out of Leno in the ratings every night.
Minimum Rave: Rescued a cat that was dumped on the side of the road a couple weeks ago. Took her to the vet and shes apparently 7 month old, or around there. Major Rant: Fucker is now in heat. Its driving me insane. How often do they go into heat? Because there is a Min 3 month waiting period for getting her fixed at the local vets. I hate cats.
Rant: Can everyone fuck off with the Leno/Conan/NBC shit? Thanks! Rave: Thursday. In a mere 5 hours I am free until Tuesday morning! Rant: Oh yea, those assignments due tonight and tomorrow afternoon. I question whether or not I want to even do the one due tonight. 3% assignment on pure bullshit. Rave: Getting mother fucking drunk this weekend. Rant: The girl I have been gunning for who I was gonna hit up this weekend and who seemed really cool decided to send me this dramatic text message about "us" and it was a complete turn off. Don't think I can be bothered to approach it further. Rave: I have more choices, so fuck 'er. I dunno what it is, maybe following Chater's advice more is beginning to swing this in my favor, but something seems to be working for me lately. Always good to end these posts on a rave. Boo ya! Hope to see everyone in the drunk thread this weekend.
RANT: Boss raked me over the coals all morning. Her right hand man tells me one thing, she tells me another. When he's not at work, I can't win. Fuck.
Rave: I have a back up hard drive with about 20,000 songs on it. (I back up friends' music collections.) Sorting through it is so fun, I just found that I have all of the Billboard Hot 100 singles from 1950 to present. I am rediscovering the 80's presently. Rave because it is hilarious: Actor's singles, like Bruce Willis' "Respect Yourself", who told him he could sing!? <a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K43BZ0FSOAY" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K43BZ0FSOAY</a>
Rant: I was watching tv this morning, an Italian channel and there was a commercial for guess what, snuggies. I thought the atlantic was enough to keep that shit away and out of Europe, looks like I was wrong, and we're just as bad as you guys. Except the Italians call them znuggies not snuggies.
Rave: First of all, I have something to rave about, which is kickass. Second, someone found my phone! And they returned it! I have not yet lost faith in all humanity. I hope they didn't go through it, but who the hell cares now, I've got it back. Also, the "15 glasses of water" alarm clock worked. Awesome.
Rant: I have been able to hold my composure fairly well since one of my best friends died last week. Now my stupid guinea pig dies, and everything I held back this past week has decided to come on out.
RANT: Free cherry bombs - cherries soaked in Everclear - were being given out in quantity last night at my bar. Man I love that place.
RAVE: I have broadband internet! Fuck yes! After just 1 week since asking my dad's friend (who's a contractor) to speak to someone, we're pretty close to running, except... RANT: ... PPP is giving me shit, and tech support isn't available until 8am tomorrow. RAVE: I'm ok with waiting a few hours...
Rave? I am pet sitting. Pet sitting stray cats, which involves no more than dropping by the house and feeding the stray cats that congregate there. For money. Speaking of cats, am also in the infant stage of planning a benefit for a friend's cat that has to get a sex change for his chronic urinary tract infections. An ambiguously gay friend. It's apparently the only permanent solution in order to keep the cat from dying. So far, I like how 2010 is looking.
