Rant: FUCK CORDS. Lately my fucking headphones are constantly getting caught on shit. This time it's the final straw. I'm fucking purging cords from my life. FUCK!
Rant Registering for classes is the biggest pain in the ass. I need several to be able to break out of the core classes and get to the ones I'm actually interested in. Of course, they offer two sections of one I need, and one of the other next semester. All are full. Also, advisors have given me nothing but shitty advice, and failed to take off holds they said they would, so I can't register for other classes I need. Now I get to cut into my real work day, and go meet with incompetent fucks to figure out my next move.
Rant: So I paid a company to have my car shipped. They completely botched it (as my pick up date was 4 days ago), so now I get to drive the 33 hours, while also paying for a canceled plane ticket. Small claims court here I come. Anyone with tips on surviving long drives please let me know because this is going to suck.
RAVE: Just finished watching the series finale of The Wire. Wow. A perfect show. Just the right length and everything played out perfectly. From the beginning to the end, it just flowed. I can think of few shows that managed to be so perfectly on at all times. The reviews I've read and been told previously about it being beautiful literature in motion is spot on. I can't believe I never watched this before. I lived in DC and near Baltimore the entire run of the show and even had a friend who worked lighting on set and still never found the time. If I would have started it back then while living out that way, I would have enjoyed it even more. Shit, for those of you who know the show, I voted for O'Malley in 2006 for Governor. Interesting to see a fictionalized portrayal of a man who very well could be on the 2016 ticket. I know it's fiction, but interesting nonetheless. Little details within this show, minor images, things said, etc. had so much depth. I see now how this show has garnered so much praise after the fact as the depth is astounding. Here's a funny little image I found when thinking about how The Wire really was a Dickensian serial novel.
RAVE: Just had dinner at a Hibachi restaurant in the burbs. Absolutely fantastic and our hilarious Korean chef was harassing the hell out of the super attractive pair of jailbait Latinas sharing our table. RANT: Spoiler I've been getting increasingly bothered by my single status. Its not that I NEED anything, I don't necessarily rely on girls to "complete" me or hold them responsible for my happiness, but at the same time, I really quite enjoy them and would like a consistent one in my life, at least at the moment. Ive always been selective so as a result I don't really bounce from relationship to relationship, but its been awhile since I met a girl I really wanted to date. And thats more upsetting to me than the relationship drought itself. So I'm not really sure. I don't really have reliable single friends to go out meeting girls with (not that bars are the prime place to do it) and I just seem to get into that "same people same places" rut especially in the winter when my friends don't seem to want to try anything new. Ive just gotten to the point where I see a cute outgoing girl with an idiot guy and I get annoyed. And lord that ain't healthy. Gah, idk. I also hate when people tell you not to think about it and it will come to you, or stop worrying about girls. Not really sure how people do that. For better or for worse girls are always on my mind, so I'm not really sure what I can do there. I guess I'm glad I don't blame myself like I used to.
Rant: What the fuck is it with dudes wanting to shit right next to me? The bathroom at work has 9 stalls: 4 on one side (plus urinals), 5 on the other. If I'm in the end stall taking a shit and the rest of the stalls are empty, why are you taking one immediately next to me? Do you feel some comraderie with a stranger whos moving their bowels? Do you want to hold hands? Shall I sing you a comforting song? Get fucked asshole. Or better yet, go get your asshole fucked. Also, is it really necessary to leave the stall the second I do? You can't wait to wipe your ass and go back to your desk to look at Facebook for 2 more minutes? When I hear you shitting that's my cue to finish, clean my ass, wash up, and get the fuck out. You dont have to make it a race. It's not like the loser has to wipe his ass with his tie or something. It's bad enough I probably have to see you at some point anyway, we don't have to meet and make small talk at the sink while were both wondering, "Christ, what the fuck did he eat to make that noise?" I don't need more fecal-related trauma in my life, I have my girlfriend for that.
RAVE: Woke up next to the girl this morning and the first thing I heard was "My throat hurts from deepthroating you." Nothing can ruin this day.
Rave: Confirmed it this morning, apparently my mom doesn't like her ipad 2 and is giving it to me. It's a 3G one so even though right now we only want wi-fi we have the option of picking up 3G later.
Rant: I coffee all over my nice (white) dress shirt. It's still wet from furious blotting. Rave: I keep a fleece vest in my desk to keep my skinny ass warm and now it's preventing me from looking like a total dumbass. Rave: I got a sale on the first phone call following the spill. It's definitely helping me forget about what I just did to my shirt.

Rave 2 tickets to Motley Crue and a room at the Hard Rock for February 14th for $250 Rant I hate setting the precedent of doing things that are out of the ordinary on that day but I will make an exception.
Rave: I've done the math: it is now physically impossible for me to fail student teaching, even if I do not do my final assignment at all. This takes absolutely all the pressure off. Rave: A rare job opening for a high school social studies teacher (especially half way through a school year) is available at a school within driving distance. I have several very positive references, and education-related work experience that no other brand-new teacher has. This should make me an ideal candidate. Rant: Job is taken already, and was taken before they even posted it. It was a cursory 'we have to do this' posting, apparently. I found this out last week, but I am still applying, because why not, I need the experience applying for jobs. Worst case scenario is I don't hear back, but I can at least still call and receive feedback on my resume, application, and cover letter. Rant: Substitute teaching is the more likely route, while I continue at my silly video store job for a while longer. Rave: That will give me two jobs in an otherwise god awful economy, and the freedom to take time off and help my wife after the kid arrives in April. All told, not getting a full time teaching job in January wouldn't be a bad thing.
RAVE: The worst semester is finally over and now I get to spend the next month doing absolutely nothing. RAVE: Aced the fuck out of my final that I was expecting to fail miserably. RAVE: Norm Macdonald's latest standup on Netflix instant queue. I insist you all watch it.
RAVE: Two more weeks and I'll be laid off until the shipping season picks back up in the spring!! Time to collect unenjoyment and be a drunk asshole for 3 months.
Rant: Just a quick question. If you are driving across a street where there is a mini-van stopped that is letting you go and a jeep goes around that van from the side you cannot see them, is hitting the back of that jeep your fault, or the asshole who doesn't wait? Keep in mind that the jeep drove away from this accident with minimal damage while my car was beyond repair. I'm not getting anything for my wrecked car, am I?
RANT: My Xbox Live account was compromised, and some wanker spent $80 off the CC microsoft won't allow me to remove from my account to go on some sort of retarded Fifa binge. Who the fuck plays Fifa?
