Just 9.2%... no biggie. Spoiler You can't read into the sarcasm above, so I'll say HOLY SHIT that's a hit here!
Of course nothing has changed. When someone makes a bad investment where they leverage themselves to the hilt and then you swoop in after they lose their shirt and hand them gobs of money, there is little to stop them from making the same bets again. The greater misfortune is seeing my portfolio taking a shit today because fuck heads like this continue to do whatever they deem necessary to make a buck and the overall market sinks because of it. If you want to punish JP, short the fuck out of their stock. Don't sell of the entire market because one company can't seem to wrap it's head around the idea of proper money management.
Formal dinner party last night. Didn't get home until 2:30. Nothing quite like rolling into a pub at 1 in the morning in a tuxedo. It was far, far less like How I Met Your Mother than you're currently thinking.
In response to a rep, yes I'm breastfeeding. Alcohol doesn't stay in the milk forever, it metabolizes just like it does in your bloodstream. So if I wait until she goes to bed and she won't eat again for 9 or 10 hours I'm pretty much good to go. Also, it's my birthday. I'll drink if I want to. P.P.S. There will also be another responsible sober adult present tonight. I'm not going to get wasted when I'm with her alone, breastfeeding or not.
I'm a few pages late, but I've been dying to try these cupcakes for a while now: Irish Car Bomb cupcakes. From the website where I found that pic: "These cupcakes consist of a Guinness-chocolate cake base, which has a wonderful depth of flavor and is also supremely moist. The centers of the cupcakes are cut out and filled with a chocolate ganache that has been spiked with Irish whiskey. And to top it all off, the frosting is my favorite vanilla buttercream that has been doused with a serious amount of Baileys Irish Cream." Yes please.
http://www.news4jax.com/news/Man-ch...lor/-/475880/10920922/-/11rk31sz/-/index.html It's been about a month now, and it's still not real at times, and other times all too real. The sailor in that story was my only brother and my best friend. I don't mean to derail the lighthearted nature of the cupcake filled thread, just wanted to share the story. Not to sound like a damn PSA, but please don't get behind the wheel after getting hammered. If this guy would have just taken a cab, my brother would still be here.
How is there no love for the Black Forest Cake here? Seriously? Don't you get those in the U.S.A.? Google it. Another fucking 7am trip to the satellite TV providers - this will now be the second faulty decoder box in the 7 weeks that we've had satellite TV. Fucking irritating.
This weekend, I have to write a case study about a kid I have only met once. I know what school she goes to and what neighborhood she lives in, so I'm hoping that's enough. Grad school is hard in a way I wasn't expecting. The workload I can handle, but the complete lack of background knowledge for an assignment drives me insane.
This kid has talent and could definitely go places. Awesome voice Check out his other covers if you like him, very good stuff if you ask me, and I'm not a youtube song kind of guy.
Tell me I didn't see the two greatest things in history only HOURS apart today. Tell me I didn't see: 1) An Asian guy dressed in head-to-toe as Raiden from Mortal Kombat, riding a shitty 1980's ten speed with the bullhorns (handles) turned up. Really. and then... 2) Driving, I glance over to the car even with me and what to my wondering eyes appear? But a guy driving on a highway while playing a trumpet. Really. I was completely staggered. Here I want to applaude this man's rugged, completely left-field individualism while the other half of me wants to run him into a bridge abudtment for being so damn irresponsible on one of the deadliest highways in North America. Still, FUCKING HILARIOUS.
In order to save up some money I have a very non-active (read:boring) weekend planned. I might go get a couple beers on tomorrow, but that's it. Need to not blow $100+ on alcohol again. These people are so hopelessly stupid. You'd think by 2012 people would have smartened up, but nope. Honestly, there's two sides of the argument for almost every social issue, but when it comes to gay marriage you're either reasonable, or you're a bigoted prick. Sadly, almost half the country believes in at least some of what that woman was saying. If we're supposed to be a country that believes in freedom and separation of church in state, why the fuck is this still going on? It should have been fixed more than 50 years ago. To get away from social issues, I might be saving money, but I should probably get something to drink tonight. Hmmm... anyone got any rare beers to recommend? I'm in the mood the for something new.
Easy there, Super-World Citizen (TM), I comment on the U.S. because I'm a citizen here. What happens in other countries, while just as important and relevant, usually escape my dim-witted and ham-handed criticisms (except the French, because I think we can all agree they suck) because I'm not well informed enough to say anything of any weight for the most part.
How can so many people be so repressed? Why do 100 million adults think that boy pee-pees are for potty mouths, that life begins at a boner, and that sport-fucking is an abomination? I heard some tumbling moron on TV a couple weeks ago say that when women are raped, the extreme stress secretes a hormone that prevents pregnancy. Da FUCK, man? Where is this shit leading to? It's gets nuttier every week. I'm not from that 'hood, but it always makes wonder what sort of cosmic boredom they grew up around. Then they go on on TV when they grow up and say that letting gays into Disneyworld will make the sky rain blood.
Jesus.. This shit is getting out of hand. Here's the deal- we were supposed to go down the river tomorrow for our bdays to boil crabs and fry fish. You know, just the family and maybe one or two others. Not trying to do anything big, you know? Unfortunately, the weather turned to shit on us, forcing us to move the boil into town. But we still had to harvest the crabs, which means I just spent the last 3 hours pulling crab traps from Lake Pontchartrain in 3ft seas and pouring rain. We got around 10-11 dozen, a little smaller than normal, but not too bad. But NOW it seems we have half the goddamn world showing up at the house for the very same birthday blowout that we wanted to avoid. Oh well, I'm drinking. I've got a case of Coors light, a 12pack of Abita Strawberry, a nice bottle of Cab, and some prime Ribeyes to play with tonight. I'm a lightweight since my accident, so there is no way in hell I'm going to come close to finishing this shit, but it'll be fun to try. I guess that whatever makes things fun for the lil' buddy is alright with me. Forget everything I just bitched about. This beer is delightful!
I am midway through a very odd night. Met a semi random who took me to the VIP room in a club he works at to blaze lines before his bosses fucked 2 girls there. Free booze all night, and we ended up at an awesome underground club after singing the Aladdin song throughout the city. However, my friends bailed on me to sleep and I am wiiiiide awake (and ridiculously sexually frustrated). I'm at a hotel with no computer or other distraction. Hmmmmm.... save me TiB!
Sun is going down. Let's get this party rolling. I'll start: Who was syncing up music and video earlier? I haven't even started drinking. Expect two dragons fucking later tonight if I do.
