Oh man, totes drunk. I'm supposed to go to the state fair tomorrow..that's gonna suck. Company picnic. Went to the rehearsal dinner for my cousins wedding tonight...fucking party like no body's business. Fucking rich people with awesome houses. such an awesome fun party. anyway. I'm drunk and I have to go to my company picnic before the actual wedding at 1. Just gotta make it through this bullshit picnic and then its full on rich people open bar fun time.
Went out with my sister and some of her friends from High School tonite. And again I realized the only "downside" to it all. I am far less shameless in my pursuit of women in her presence. I mean, it could be a positive. She's not at all judgmental and the non-awkwardness of either of us pursuing the opposite sex in each other's presence is a big reason why we are pretty close, but I find it hard to openly engage with dumb sloptarts when she is around. In the long run, its a good thing and will benefit me. But now, as I peck out a post at 230 AM, I wonder if she wasnt around if I would have paid more attention to the dumbass drunk girl who kept telling me I smelled good and singing random song lyrics to me.
Just a heads up on the 47% don't pay taxes argument: Fact: 47% of Americans don't pay Federal Income Taxes. Fact: Most of them still pay SSI, UI, Payroll, State, Sales and various taxes. Fact: The average American pays anywhere from 31% to 45%, depending on their state of residence, of their total income in taxes in some form. Like any other political rhetoric, pulling stuff out of context, while factually true on its face, usually fails to give the whole story. Last fact: The average soundbite on TV during the LBJ administration: 30 seconds. The average soundbite on TV during the Obama administration: 4 seconds. Ok, that's it, I'm in London, and figuring out why we decided to revolt. The Tower of London was totally badass. I mean seriously badass.
Our cat is fucking weird. It loves to go out in the rain, get really wet, and then comes in to get toweled off. I don't like waking up in the middle of the night to rub a wet pussy.
My daughter has a swimmer on her team with the last name Black. I needed to speak to the parents one day at a meet, and without thinking I turned around and asked, "Are the Blacks here today?"
I started student teaching, and I am completely amazed at how much easier it is to get in front of a class of teenagers and teach than I originally thought. Granted, they are in 9th grade and all honors kids, but they're grade grubbing and constant questions aren't tripping me up. I understand why people teach now. It's a rush to get in front of that class. Anyway, to add to the list of things that make me feel old: * Kid starts singing the Animaniacs theme song and his friends are really impressed with his ability to sing a theme song from a show that went off the air when he was 2. * They didn't know Paul Newman was a real person. They thought he was the mascot for "Newman's Own" * Most of the kids I am teaching were born in 1998. * None of them have ever seen the Late 80's- 90's series of Batman movies. They thought Christopher Nolan was the first person to adapt the comics to movies.
I am in Boston and I went to a gay party last night and this morning I couldn't stand up straight because of my muscles being dead from dancing and then I stumbled into the living room and my friend's roommate's boyfriend was there and he laughed while he introduced himself and I was like "cool start to the day" then I went to the bathroom and my eyeliner was so smudged and my bright red lip stain was still on and I had three pieces of glitter confetti stuck to my forehead so sure I'd laugh too.
Expanding on the "black" theme, and maybe an odd question, but it crossed my mind. I went to a job interview on Thursday. On looking around I realized that I was the only white person there. Personally, I don't care, but I have to wonder, how will they feel about me being that I am about as white as white can be. I certainly don't want to leave a bad situation for one where I will never fit in.
I really like you, so I'm going to help you out. First of all, you want them to respect you, so you're going to have to stab somebody. That, or add "izzle" into every sentence, but trust me, that in and of itself will want to make you stab somebody so you're back to square one. Don't patronize them. Here's a list of words that you shouldn't say: Chicken, Grape, Rodney, Jemima, Dance, Nap. If you have occasion to use one of these terms, replace it with something more innocuous, or, failing that, awkwardly stammer and leave the room. Saying nigger is fine. If anybody gets up in arms about it, explain that Ballsack does it all the time, and direct them to his posts here and then his house. Eventually you'll have to bond with them via breakdancing or a rap battle. Start practicing now. Just win, baby. I have faith.
I'm pondering taking my daughter to the shitty small town fair a few minutes north of here, on the other hand I don't want to. She only seems to like the funhouse and it's funny to watch her crash into the panes while navagating through the glass maze , these things ALWAYS suck, they're ALWAYS a rip-off and she's too little to ride the various ride selection of Whirl 'N' Pukes. Plus, small town fair attract a crowd that we'll just say will make you pull your kids closer towards you when you walk past them. A lot of ducktail haircuts and flannel Dickies jackets. Plus, the attractive staff. And Deep Fried Coke. That's right. I first thought "What a waste of a perfectly good 8-ball." No, they pour in sugar syrup for Coca-Cola and deep fry it Also: deep fried chocolate, deep fried Mars bars, deep fried bacon and deep fried BUTTER. All facts. I think we'd be better off just letting the carnies smoke their crack and then have their way with us. A healthier choice.
Nom, I am not being patronizing, it is seriously an honest question. Keep in mind that I am from Kansas so am not typically in an environment where there aren't a majority of people JUST LIKE ME. 'Sack will back me up on this one. And considering I hate all the people who I currently work with a little more with each passing day, I would prefer to not entire into an environment where everybody treats me different. The lack of diversity is one of the reasons why I would like to move.
Is it wrong that I already miss Mad Men as a TV show? It's just one of those shows that demonstrates, no matter how many things change, somethings stay the same.
Speaking of bacon, I just cooked some up in the oven on 250 for about two hours, it was heavenly, I wish I had time to cook it that way every day. Dude, cook the bacon first, then pour most of the grease into a ball jar or old jelly jar, put it in the fridge for cooking later. Then cook the other stuff in the remainder of the grease. If you're using a good skillet (cast iron) you should be able to just wipe it down with a paper towel or rag as long as you leave enough grease when you cook the eggs.
