so are we doin fantasy football??
By
i'm workin on it. well, soon. when's the first game?
By
actually, i dont know. but i've been hearing more and more on sportscenter, so i can only assume it's coming up. i only asked cuz i talked to damon and he said he had his draft a day or 2 ago, so i figured it must be close.
By
I'm doing my draft right now, using espn's nifty java warroom that will not stay connected for anything. So we're having a heck of a time. Apparently, people say we can't reschedule because if we don't draft within a week, we will miss the first week. Seems first weekend is 9/11

Post a CommentA bit
Fuck yeah I’d vote for Walkin. What this country needs is more cowbell. Now theres somebody you can look in the eye…and be deathly afraid of. Imagine him talking to foreign leaders? "Now listen Chavez, I'm going to say something and you are going to listen". Anyone would be better than that fucking dumbass bumbling cowboy I'm embarressed to call my leader.
Anyway, life is life is life. Kim and I have been through a few ‘discussions’ lately. Pretty serious stuff too. Apparently she has come to realize that she can not see herself with someone long term who does not share her beliefs (religious). Now we always knew this was a problem between us, but somehow we made it work. But now coming on 1.5 years you start to rethink your situation and its make or break. The break is the hard thing however. We both still love eachother, but if you realize you can’t be with somebody, what are you to do? Its shitty to me because I think it can work. Its shitty to her because things are great, but she believes it wont work. So what are we left with?….lets see what happens. My old favorite motto. This whole situation is further complicated by the ‘what am I doing in my life’ factor. This town sucks and is going nowhere. People are downright stuck in a rut and don’t even want to look what else is beyond the rim. Fucking south. Anyhow, I wont go on further about my woman woes. The words just aren’t coming out this morning to keep any of you interested.Figured I should write something to say whats up to yall. Remember; things are never as good, or as bad as they seem, and here are some cool turtles for your viewing: Graptemys barbouri (Barbours map turtle). Notice the keeled carapace (spiky shell thingys).

i'm more stupider
after watching the vmas for only the family guy commercials plus 20 minutes. i saw some guy "perform", a term which i use so loosely that its looser than courtney love's...well, lets just say it's loose. he just ignored half his own lyrics, then horribly mouthed the rest as he focused on acting out his song word for word. it was like that snl sketch where chris kattan acts out the police songs in front of sting as an audition for a video. it was exactly like that; horrible.
and in just 20 mins i've picked up on this years theme: you dont know what's gonna happen. whoa we're so crazy down at mtv look at us what will happen next. puff daddy/p diddy/diddy/p dick, whatever you wanna call him gave away his watch to some guy in the audience. the carpet is white instead of red. the vip seating has lamps. wow, you blew me away mtv. the best part so far has been the 10sec clips they show before each award is announced, as well as the coldplay performance, which if they faked it, they at least did a decent job.
so you're asking yourself why are you still watching it? mainly cuz there's nothing on tv at 10pm on sunday. my tv guide thing says there's supposed to be poker on, but instead its' some softball game. damnit.
i wish i was tired so i could just go to bed now. oh i wish mtv would just go back to videos.

when i was at usc, this guy was in my class. check out his blog when you're bored, he's got some good stories. he's a good guy. dont miss the one about the eskimo on the jamaican cruise and the story of why he's quitting drinking (which wont last, trust me).

Friday Frenzy
crazy busy from the get go today. since the CAD guy quit, now me and tony have to draw everything and stuff takes much longer to get accomplished. it's slowing us down. Plus tony thinks i'm some kind of AutoCAD god and can do this stuff faster then i really can. plus my own orders are finally starting to come in so i have a bunch of work that doesn't involve him.
Greg farraro is having his annual 4th of july party this saturday at someone elses house. i know, it's not the 4th but they're going to set off the fire works that weren't seized. it's going to be at someone elses house near where greg lives now. should be good times. everyone's invited.
Branci- you ok down there? i hear the weather's picking up again. I suggest building a bunker. dig man DIG!

Anyone not doing well?
Ron has finished this thesis, Josh transferred out of the dirty south, Murphy is having the time of his life, I started a degree program I am really interested in while in a country and city I love. As a group we are doing pretty well eh?
Of course not every little thing is working out. While I was so lucky to live with 3 great English girls when I was in Leeds, the housing situation is Stockholm is extremely tight, and the school has placed me in a building with 72 other people, of which about 55 are Chinese. Those who are not joke that learning Chinese would be more useful than Swedish. The bullshit thing about it, is that it's not like America, where money rules and I could definately move, I just might pay more, here I am willing to spend even double if I could get a decent place near the school and live with Swedes, but it's just not available. They use a queue system to allocate housing and the people getting the best places have been waiting 4 years.
Otherwise it's sweet. By my estimate 50% of girls here are doable, but an Italian friend and others put it more like 80%. And about once every hour spent downtown, you'll see a girl that literally makes it hard to breath. Progress with those Swedish ladies is going pretty slow, but I have met a few that have been good fun so far. The Brazillian girl I mentioned is great too.
Anywho, classes start on Monday and I have 26 hours of them a week, so that will take some getting used to after I rarely even passed the 30 hour a week mark working full time for Osmose. Later

damon: POSTING FROM THE FUTURE!
i agree, we are all doing pretty well. i was talking to one of the younger guys at work (he's 30 something) and he told me that we're all at about the right age for having some serious fun. most of it has to do with the fact that we're all going to have jobs and a handful of money from them in which to have said fun. I'm starting to agree. from last thursday thru yesterday it had been a non stop drinking binge and i find that lazy days are now a rare treat.
on a side note, damon, josh, you missed one hell of a tuesday this week.By
damnit! tues is the best day of the week. i'm missing tuesdays bigtime down here, though things are going well otherwise.
also i may not be home for ski's wedding anymore, cuz i dont know who's going and i have a brief due that week. so we'll see, but now leaning towards no.By
Yeah Matt, I changed the time to what it was here. And Swedes call Wednesday "little Saturday"

Post a CommentMy intellictual days r nmbered. 235467890
So I had 4/4 wisdom teeth yanked out on tuesday. The top teeth were easy but the bottom ones actually grew 3 roots and they were all bent at 90 degrees, making them pretty hard to dislodge. The bottom teeth usually are the troublesome ones because they're literally harder. The kinetic impact from chewing can be distributed from the top jaw to the top of the skull, which deadens the tremor. The bottom jaw is smaller so the teeth are harder. There's also less blood flow down there so they take longer to heal, too. There's a nerve that runs thru the jaw and the lip that comes dangerously close to the wisdom teeth roots, so my bottom lip felt like a huge marshmellow after the anesthetic. Anyways in order to get out the bottom teeth the dentist had to saw them in half, which i could still feel even when I was under. I thought that shit only happened on Dr. Giggles. This guy's extremely good though and I'd recommend him to anyone. Dr. Patrician - his office is in Middletown near the grog.
So to prevent dry sockets (dissolved blood clot = exposed bone = painful) I gotta keep clean, and I can't smoke until friday (there goes THAT cure-all.) Kristen sent me a get well card with a guy wearing his hospital gown backwards for fear of being bareass. That brightened up my day. That and the HBO on Demand.
2 comments
Same guy did the basically the same procedure for me. Leaves the jaw muscles sore from trying to give him a solid base to pull the teeth from. I had to drive home so I had only local. And the shitty bit is to come: He says something like the worst pain is about two days after, and then he hands you two days worth of pain killers.

yeah they didn't trust me with pharmies, the fools. I got like 3 days of super-ibuprofin. Good enough.

all the days run together like a fucking wicked fast blurr, and in one enourmous cloud of smoke--poof- the summers over. The good times are killing me. Sorry i havent been keeping in contact but my phones fucked and i cant get another for a while.
Im coming home in a couple of weeks. Me and eli are going on a road trip to ATL to see ole Pops and then back up to ct. before we leave were going on a river trip to through Cataract canyon which well take about a week.
I cant possibly fit the last month into one blog so ill have to give it to you piece by piece.
This has been the best summer of my life.
getting laid, getting fuck up, traveling, meeting awesome people and 'working' as a river guide. You might as well be a rockstar in this town if your a raft guide. I love pussy.
But not as much as i love mary jane

lockdown, bitch
this freaks me out more than anything. random killings. this is why "mentally disturbed" people need to be confined. this is why our man kolpak does noble work (though i'm not sure he deals with the same class of disturbance...i dont know). i guess sometimes you dont know someone's messed up until they do something like this, but if they do know, they should do something about it. i'm all for innocent until proven guilty, but there are certain characteristics scientifically proven to make one more inclined to do certain acts than the "average" person. just randomly leaves the retirement home to kill 2 walmart employees.
so i was watching "the situation with tucker carlson" last night (at least its on msnbc, not fox news), and something strange was happening. i agreed with a lot of what he said (dont cheer yet, bergan). nonetheless, we still didnt always have the same conclusion about the topic. often the reasoning would be similar, but then he would just draw some irrelevant, unrelated conclusion from ok reasoning. maybe that's the problem with conservatives; they cant finish the job. i mean bush got us into a war in iraq pretty well, but cant seem to close the deal. religious people go on and on about wonderful god, but i still dont see proof. eh, something to think about.....................but give the situation a chance, not a terrible show. it's the pti of politics, only w/o the interruption (otherwise it would again be known as crossfire).

Post a CommentThe nicest hangover wednesday on record
not to bad, only 3 dumps today, head ach was managable and there was hardley anyone at work today. it was just me tony and rick and i've had a very easy day. i got the printer working again and i had my first big quote accepted today. i think i'm making a few nice contacts so far and i had a great conversation with someone i work with who i had thought was trying to screw me behind my back. i feel bad on wednesday usually because i sit and watch tony work while i stare blankly into the void of a computer screen only faining enough interest to look busy. I then feel better when i realize tony showed up at 8:45 and left at 4.
Pat Robertson "appoligized" today, but not with out saying he was misinterprted. i'd just like to call bullshit on this right now. that fuck said flat out he wanted ud to take that guy out instead of wasting time and money on another Iraq like war. how the fuck do you misinterpret that?(from CNN) Earlier, Robertson said that his remarks about Chavez were taken out of context and that he never called for the killing of the Latin American leader.
"I didn't say 'assassination.' I said our special forces should 'take him out.' And 'take him out' can be a number of things, including kidnapping; there are a number of ways to take out a dictator from power besides killing him. I was misinterpreted by the AP [Associated Press], but that happens all the time," Robertson said on "The 700 Club." (Watch video)
And how can he blame it on the AP? it was a fucking TV broadcast! if the FCC had any balls he'd get slapped with that nice fat 500,000$ fine they just pushed through because of janet jacksons sticker slip. fuck religous people, they're all nuts.

day uno
day one of learning back in the north. overall a good day. my first class was criminal procedure at 9am. at usc this is a 2nd year class, but at psu it's a 1st year so i was surrounded by 1Ls. it was pretty funny. i could feel the fear in the room. it reminded me of my first day last year. for the first time i could tell the difference b/w 1Ls and 2Ls, and for the first time i felt liek maybe i did learn a good bit last year. i think it's like the notion of growth. for example, i never noticed when santos got big, cuz i was seeing him everyday. i think the learning was the same way. it didnt feel like i progressed much, but today in comparison to the first years, all of whom must be smart since they got into law school in the first place, i felt the difference b/w the first and second years.
then i had 2 more classes, neither of which was very significant. environmental law sounds like it might be pretty cool, and its a smaller class which is kinda cool. appellate practice is gonna suck, and the prof seems like kidna a dick, but that's life.
i'm watching fairenheit 9-11 right now during my little study break, so my focus is in and out and i'm gettin a little upset. apologies if i trail off from time to time.
this is kinda funny. doesn't sound too good for pirro, but i think that may be a good thing. good old big willy style.
so who's going to ski's wedding? the rsvp is due sometime and i gotta decide. i'm probably gonna come home for it, but it depends cuz i'm gonna have an appellate brief due soon after that date. so the more people who are going the more likely i'll come up for it, but i also need to decide soon cuz of the rsvp date.
ok i'm just going off on too many tangents now. i'm done here. long live hamburger helper. help it, then betray it. DO IT

The monday morning zip
coffee combats any and all monday morning weekend hangover. i didn't drink yesterday so coffee should be able to get me buzzed through the day until i need more around 3 o'clock. right now i'm on overdrive going into lunch.
is there a proper way to tell someone you work with to just shut up and do thier job? this guy is twice my age and everyone seems to understand that he's a little difficult to work with but he's got me calling all these different people trying to figure out how to ship stuff. he's the shipping/purchasing guy, figure it out. i don't know the difference between FOB, collect, common carrier, ect. this isn't the kind of info i worry about either when i'm quoting stuff, maybe i should but we don't usually pay for shipping unless it's some odd arrangement.
i wish i had something more exciting to talk about but i don't. sue me.
4 comments
i will sue you...in 2 years. just tell him you've got more important stuff you have to do first. or even give him a list of people and have him call himself. it's not your job.
on another note, today's my first day of classes. i've only had 1 so far, but i have 2 more in the afternoon. the first one was funny cuz it's with a bunch of first years. you could feel the fear in the room, it was hilarious. but my next 2 should be with 2nd and 3rd years, so they'll be a little different.By
"not my job" got you fired last time didn't it? But really, if he's the shipping guy, and you are the one figuring out how to ship things, what is he doing? Either he does the work, or fire him and take his salary.
By
This kind of bullshit post goes right along with my morning thoughts of "This is my life". Ever have those?
By
damon's right, most of the time i find myself saying, if i'm doing all this, then what the hell is he doing? but he's protected here, FAMILY, he used to be married to one of the daughters of the owner and they have a kid togeather.
i was warned about this guy before i even started and everyone just kind of assumes he'll be a pain. on of my bosses makes a bunch of snide comments about him when ever there is a problem. its funny.By

WARNING!!
nobody hit the "Flag" button in the upper right hand corner. it sends a warning message to blogger that our blog contains offensive material. if we get enough flags our blog comes off the "happy" list and goes on the "not suitable for children" list. basically it would make it harder for people to find the blog and we'd be removed from any sort of public listing. i'd like to avoid all this. i'm kind of pissed blogger would do this too, they're supposed to be the happy sort of evil leftist version of microsoft. anyone read anything abouty thier plans to scan every book in the public domain? creepy/good. plus they've been cherry picking employees from microsoft in an attempt to create thier own monopoly.
speaking of cherry picking employees, my old buddy Tom, my dads old friend who i got the job at JFD through, is coming to work for me at johnstone. we need welders and i gave him a call. he's bee ntalking to me boss for the last two weeks and he accepted an offer yesterday. fuck yeah. plus i've been talking to the son of the guy i'm replacing here (he still does a lot of work here so its cool) and we're going to try to pick off some customers from them too.
let this be a lesson to anyone who ever fucks with me again. i'm as bad as the mob, but less obvious, i'll kill you from the inside and pick away at what you have built. i'm sick like that.

as excited as lane at an all female anorexia convention
ok, maybe not THAT excited. but i ventured over to the law school today basically for 3 things:
1) to check things out
2) to get my biking route down
3) to get my schedule and see if i can get my books
3 missions accomplished. and, i was pleasantly surprised. everyone i encountered today at the school was friendly. and not fake southern friendly. real friendly. and helpful. for you seinfeld fans, it was like a bizarro world. and no stupid accents. even the girl i met from north carolina sounded as though she might be a fellow northerner. also, i've already seen more hot girls in this 1 day than i did the whole year at usc. and it's not even orientation or class yet.
8 minute bike ride.
so far so good. almost time to break it to the few people at usc i liked.
also, that story about the laptop sale is fucked up. classless americans at it again.
also, i dont know what the deal is with the sudden spammer comments but if this keeps up we might have to privatize this shit

Ah yes so witty...
VIRGINIA -- A rush to buy $50 used laptops turned into a violent stampede yesterday, with people being thrown to the pavement and beaten with a folding chair. One woman wet herself rather than surrender her place in line.
A citizen later said, "I'd rather shit myself than forfeit my place in line to that bitch!" When asked, "what the hell is wrong with you people?", many responded by raising folder chairs in triumph and grunting "uh oo uh".
Nothing like a discount to bring out the primitive me me me. Serously people, what happened to class?

Oh! It's so obvious to me now!
I have found a great weak link in the creationist argument. Obviously, things like "facts" and "logic" do nothing for these people. So I broke my handy "New American" Bible out to get inside thier heads (actually I was looking to see if Jesus ever actually eats meat in the bible, he does serve it once, but he only got two fishes for a whole mob of people, what a cheapskate (could make a good off color joke here)) Any ways.
So God created man on the sixth day. Let's pretend that's a fact. Then on the seventh day God rested. Let's pretend that's a fact too.
How does man know what happened before he was created? They have no frame of reference really. Pretend , even for a moment, that people just woke up in place fully conscious and aware of thier surroundings. The animals were already there (day 5) so were the fish (day 4) the oceans (day 3) the sky (day 2) and light (day 1). All the people could possibly know is that they showed up, unexplanedly, and then God did nothing the next day. Now assuming that one can't be aware ones own creation. How do they know how they were created, if nothing got created after them? God never tells them anything about that, he just says "Chill" and "Stay out my stash" .
I'll go point out my plot holes elsewhere
5 comments
random, but i like it.
i always thought god seemed like a lazy bastard, and now it all makes sense! it's my frame of reference! all he did after creating me was rest.By
Comeon man, you know that arguement holds no water. Man doesnt have to 'know' what happened. Its not like he was taking notes or something. Besides, god talked to people back then. So he just told them after the fact.
By
Actually, if you read further into the book of Genesis, you notice that Adam walked with God. We have to assume, since God asked Adam to name all the animals, that God also told him how they were created. Additionally, the Bible was written by people who were supposedly told what to write or were given a vision (as is the case in the Book of Revelations).
I also think that intelligent design is not Christian only. Of course it ID you can have any whackadoo say that Giant Ape Men with 40 eyes seeded the Earth and that could in theory become a theory in itself. I say stick with the facts in the schools, but there is nothing wrong with engaging in conversation that also explores (notice I do not say teaches) other theories.
- dbBy
a deeper read into Genesis reveals that when no one was around on that long walk Adam and god had glorious anal sex on the beach. Then Adam busted a nut in god's face and thats when god knew man had to be punished and Jesus crucified.
Intellegent design is a joke. Basically some guy, shaking his head with his arms out saying, "I just don't see how this could be?, must have been god"
as a side note, one morning I saw my mom checking the oil dipstick under the hood of the car (the car was not starting), she had her arms out, shaking her head saying, "I just don't see how this could be?".
It turned out to be bad spark plug wires.By
That last paragraph would have been suffcient ron.

Post a Commenttiresome tuesday
i came to work today knowing that i had done a bunch of work yesterday to clear things off my desk. knowing there wasn't much to do today i was kind of excitedto just fool around and do sme other stuff i'd been meaning to do. instead i had a bunch of phone calls, some stupid probelms to deal with and i had a friendly argument with two of the welders for about an hour. plus i had to go rummage through the trailer in back where we keep all the old records. its gets way too hot out there, its a steel box that sits in the sun all day, its ;ike a million degrees out there.
anyway it wasn't as easy a day as i wanted. but i did find this link. this lady is nuts, and read this artical, which is where i found it.
i'm guessing no one is going to see this in time but Harbor park tonight anyone?

My computer's got all its senses back
and I'm psyched.
My pa got the one of the HK tech guys over for a half hour and we went over my soundcard issues.
Turned out it was more like an XP updates error with my hardware drivers and the soundcard is working fine now. My speakers work in all their 5.1 glory. I kept using Ron's bike video as my test - once I heard NOFX again I knew I was golden. Since my audio inputs should all be working I can get back to recording too (after this monthlong hiatus.) Once I get back in the groove I'll start pumping out the jams again. On the drawing boards so far:
- Collaboration with Dr. Kolpak on neo-Motown agenda
- An aspiring club-banger encouraging a new non-dance (Stop. Don't make a move...wait....wait...)
- A powerpop song a-la-Ohio is for Lovers except it's about convincing arabs to teach us native dances instead of terrorize:
Your friends want in.
They all dig Mohammed.
One of them's missing
and that might be a problem.

that's great. i think the askew hats are a bit ridiculous as well, with exceptions of course, like the blind guy, or maybe if someone had a middle ear infection or something.

Post a CommentChem Show
in november i'm going to be spending 3 days in NYC for a trade show called: ChemShow. should be cool, i'm going with a few people here from work who are all much older then me so i'm not sure how much fun it'll be. We're all geting put up in a hotel close to the convention center. check out the floor plan for the site, we're going to be booth 2406. this thing is huge. i'm a little excited, this is a big deal and i think its kind of cool they asked me to go and do it. there's like a million other companies that are going to be there and my purpose is to get new customers. fuck yeah.
fucking yanks. i know the starting pitching hasn't been good but they finally got a great outing from a starter and they forget how to hit. oh and now johnson is going to miss his next start, fantastic. whats that? pavano may need tommy john surgury? fantastic, so he's done this year and next? i guess we can always resign al leiter.

more reasons to stay out of the middle
Kansas takes a few steps back with this ruling. sweet.
To limit any kind of teaching is a wrong move. I say teach it all and let them decide. Thats what happened to me. I was raised a catholic, I read, learned and decided that this stuff isnt what I believe in. Believe what you want, but dont limit teaching.
on a different note.... T.O. is a little bitch and I hope he whines his ass off, gets some $$ and gets hurt. The more he bitchs, the better for the Giants. Shockey jersey this year? maybe

hangover wednesday............urrggghhh.....hurg....umm..
not a good one, not at all. i woke up this morning to see the apartment looking like a crack house. justin was sleeping on top of the pile of newspapers with a blanket and the TV was on all night, and still on when i left. my stomach has been rumbleing all day, i've taken 4 shits at work already (my ass is on fire) and the headache just isn't going away. i still haven't had to fire that guy yet, i'm starting to think it'll drag on til monday. i have some customers coming intoday that ineed to show around and entertain. typing any more would be too much work....

sour pork
I ususally keep my personal affairs out of the blog but tonight I got ticked off. I got a call from someone tonight who was insulted that I didnt invite them to my pig roast. I could care less how they got the information, but what they dont understand is that its MY pigroast and I invite whoever I please. It's my call. If I feel that someone shouldnt be invited than I dont invite them. I feel simply not telling them is adequate. They informed me that they would have rather gotten a call saying, "hey, I'm having a pig roast but you can't come", than leaving them in the dark. Total fucking bullshit if you asked me. Who the fuck wants to know about the forbidden fruit and how sweet it is?
no comments allowed, I'm fucking pissed.

A rock python caught under an electric fence on a game farm in South Africa. The snake was too big to fit under the electric fence, got shocked and just a little ticked off.

Do you smell .........
what the ron, is cooking?
I must conclude, Pig Roast VI was a success. We had the pig, we had the beer, we had the v-ball, and most importantly, good friends.
Treasure these memories because these gatherings are getting harder to come by. Life just isn't that simple anymore. Six years ago in high school, we could easily gather up a gang of 15+ and go get loaded and burn shit in the woods. I've noticed over the years that as we grow older it takes more and more planning to get a large group of people together. The pig has reduced in size from a massive 115lbs (year 1, summer '99) to 63lbs. Branciteam speaks the truth when he says good friends are hard to come by. We've got a solid crew here, if I'm home next summer, I'll see you at pig roastVII

thanks for the roast ron. a good time as always. and if you have it next summer, i'll once again do my best to be there.

It should have been, "Do you smell...what the RONS is cooking"
Yup, the get together was loads of fun. It was great to see and talk to everybody. Hilight- putting that nasty spike on towards Liz in the first V-ball game...booyaa!
I'll re-emphasize anyone is welcome to come to FL and visit.By

guess who's back, back again
so the news is bad, good, indifferent, and sexy
THE BAD
so we're in pa driving on 81 and some bitch cuts me off from one of those turnarounds which divide the highway. almost railed her (car, not ass). yell fuck you and flip her off. mom is amused. after stalling, she backs the car back into the divider. some guy, also there, cuts me off, drives 100 yards, then stops dead in the middle of the interstate. traffic flies by in the right lane. he gets flipped off and returns the favor. a third guy cuts around me on the left shoulder/grass and cuts me off to get behind the 2nd guy. HE gets flipped off and cursed out. what a bunch of fuckin bastards.
we get to carlisle, pa, and the apt i got was tiny as shit. no way a dog can live there. the whole thing is probably the size of my living room here in ct. no joke. this includes bedroom, living room, bathroom, kitchen. fuckin a.
go down to sc to pickup my shit. cockroaches everywhere. shitty, but predictable. my stuff is actually in the apt where i left it. a plus. summer rain seeped thru the bedroom wall rendering it moldy and mildewy, ruining my sheets and pillows. but hey, mattress is ok. nice.
somehow had/have a cold in august. AUGUST.
THE GOOD
called more places in carlisle from sc and ended up finding a pimp ass apt. hopefulyl can ride my bike to school. dog can live there. moving in is difficult, but there is much rejoicing.
THE INDIFFERENT
meh
THE SEXY
i'm not wearing any pants
all in all a productive week, and best of all i'm back in time for the pig roast baby!!

This is not just about work...
I woke up troubled. It didn’t go away over night like I hoped. Somehow it stuck with me through my dreams and nightly delta waves. I made the mistake of checking my work email yesterday- that’s when it all started. Its hard to explain it all, but its not just the stress of work that got me down. Its people... again. You see, for my job task, we incorporate a lot of public input into the document we are creating. First off, I believe in this document. I think its everything that’s good about my field. It’s a step in the right direction, in sour times. It was created by hundreds of people that care about the environment, who have foresight and an understanding of the way the things work and the way things are going. We are the people fighting for the innocent, pure and simple beauty of life. We think if that goes away, everything else will follow. Its really quite simple.
Of course its not perfect. It still has the usual governmental bureaucracy between the lines, but its still a damn good thing, something that was missing and that was needed. Of course it has its wrinkles. In this endeavor we deal against big business, corrupt government, and people who just don’t get it (in my opinion). The people are the worst ones. Some jackass wrote to us and complained about everything. This guy expressed everything I fear in society, everything that is morally sidetracked from what I believe. He doesn’t understand what we are doing and the purpose of what we are doing. He expressed the values I feel is dead wrong about the environmental field- I was staring at my nemesis directly in the face, and somehow he was winning. It really feels like the country is going down the shitter, and the people are the ones running around the bowl faster and faster in the same direction. Its tiresome to fight it. But yet we have to. I have to go back next week, and deal with this jackass. This jackass that holds on to the past and madly flails when encountered to move forward. There is a lot of good in this world, but so much of it seems to be locked in the ice. The bad gets to leak out at a constant pace and infiltrate (my head mostly). I shouldn’t of checked my email on vacation! I hate to think this is all about work though. It feels like more than that. There’s hope for the future right? I shouldnt get caught up in it all. Its all been done before and its all going to happen again. I don’t know why I feel so ominous all of a sudden. Ok, I’ll say it...something very bad is about to happen in the world, I can feel it.

yea man, you shouldnt have checked your email on vacation. as for this world turing bad. look around and read the news, things seem to suck. but in reality they are probably just as equally shitty as past generations have though the world to be. I mean imagine growing up in WWII? i bet you they thought that the world was going to shit then too. and when we thing things are cool, our kids will thing the same thing.

Post a Commentto the dirty....and back again!
well in the morning i'll be shoving off. first to pa to sign my lease, then to sc to get all my shit out of there, then back to pa to drop the shit off. then i'll be home for a week or so before going back. i'm pissed, i'm missing the pig roast. but it's the only time i could move cuz my parents are tied up after this week. it'll be good to be out of the dirty dirty for good. i havent yet told anyone and one of my friends shot me a message asking when i was coming back. ummm never? maybe myrtle beach for golf, but that'd be it.
i was thinking about the irony of how i always say i hate south carolinians because they are racist, sexist, psycho-religious, etc. doesnt that make me racist against them? well i guess not racist, cuz they're not a race, but maybe statist? hmmm statist, yeah. i can live with that.
ok i feel like shit so that's all i got. over and out until next week.

expecting death
no, i'm not depressed and thinking of dying myself or aything, its just that i have a lot of older relatives who will soon be kicking the bucket. yesterday i visted my relatives in north haven who i stayed with breifly when i had my first job. they're both about 88 years old and have had multiple physical and mental problems. they both are doing alright now but come on, they're 88. most of my dads side of the family is well into thier 80's and most of whom are just killing time so to speak. its sad because, well they're family and old people die. most of the family kind of expects a lot of them to go at around the same time.
on my moms side, her mother isn't doing so hot right now. she's been breaking a lot of bones and is on a bunch of little medications she doesn't like. my sister stopped by there today on her way back home and said she just found out she had broken 3 more ribs. can't be good.
i guess part of growing up/older is moving from one generation to another and watching older people pass on. i guess i really haven't ever had to deal with it because i haven't had that many relatives die (knock on wood). i'm not complaining i just hope that suddenly i'm not faced with a bunch of funerals to go to. maybe by talking about it i've jinxed the whole thing and they'll all live till 100. the women on my dad's side tend to be very old. oh well.
this wasn't the most exciting of topics, so to lighten the mood here's some zombies.
