Rant. I was cooking dinner with some red pepper flakes and one got in my eye. Holy fuck that hurt for a good 20 min and still burns a little a couple hours later.
Rant: Wow. What? Wow. Why...am I on a mailing list for a cemetery? Why does a cemetery have a mailing list? Are you rubbing something in, cemetery? What is your fucking deal? What a weird ending to the not so greatest of days.
Rave: Headed to SoCal next weekend to take in a few fights. Friday the ESPN card in San Jacinto headlined by Mike Dallas Jr against Javier Castro, which should be a good one. I helped Dallas with some footage of Castro as he was training near where I live in the Bay Area. Have covered his fights since his pro debut, he is extremely talented and resilient. Saturday I'll be covering Victor Ortiz-Josesito Lopez at Staples Center. Not the most evenly matched main event, but Josesito has been bringing it lately and Ortiz has a Canelo fight ready for September if he wins. I am really mostly there to see the overdue unraveling of Humberto Soto as he finally takes on a Top 10 fighter in Lucas Matthysse. Will also be networking with some people in the sport that could lead to a more stable job in the industry, ie something I can support myself full time on! Crossing fingers.
Rant: Can't really top LTMS' post above mine. Some backstory: My wife's friends from Germany took a roadtrip out west after our wedding two weeks ago, and I had asked my boss a month and a half ago if I could take today off so that we could meet them in Vegas for the weekend. I got shot down because he is on vacation this week, which would leave just me and the other engineer at work today. With that being said, my rant is that my co-worker called in 'sick' today because there is fuckall to do at work this week since it's been incredibly slow, and we rely on issues that our clients have to have generate work for us to do. To say I'm furious is a complete understatement. Instead of going to my boss and bitching to him about it, I'm calling out my co-worker on his poor work ethic and politely letting him know how pissed I am that I could have gone to Vegas after all instead of him pulling such a shitty stunt. Rave: In lieu of Vegas, dinner tonight with my parents and wife for her birthday earlier this week. Mmm, escargot, lobster tails, and steak. Yes!
Rave: 99% sure we've decided on our reception venue. We're seeing one more place tomorrow, but unless they roll me around there on a massage table while a gorgeous woman rubs me down only using her well-oiled and ample breasts, we're not going to book them. This is a huge relief because the girl has been sleeping like shit as all of these options have been tumbling around in her head at night. Rave: Mom's professional photographer friend has agreed to do our wedding for a pittance. Based on what was being talked about in (I think) the TiBette thread some time ago, she's doing it for many, many times less than what the normal quote would be. Since the cost is so low, Mom's covering it as well. Sweet. /Wedding shit Rave: Going to a place called Plan B tonight. The "B" stands for Burgers, Beer, and Bourbon. I may just string up a hammock and inform them that I'll be living there from now on.
Motherfucking RANT: Bought a car last year from a dealership who assured me that it was clean, low owner etc yada yada yada. Go to trade it in last night and the place I was at pulled up the carfax* and it shows it has frame damage from an accident a few years ago. So now I have to try and sell a car with a bent frame. Yay. *Yeah yeah, should've asked for the carfax. Live and learn. Possible RAVE: If I go through my original paperwork and don't find anything disclosing the damage, supposedly I can go to the dealer and get my down payment, all payments and interest back since I've owned it. We'll see. If anyone has experience with something like this, please message me.
Rave: got a 4.0 GPA for my first semester back in school. Rave: a class of my 3 year old students and their families signed a card for me, and one family got me a Feed bag that will feed 100 hungry kids. Heart= melted. rave: went shopping, bought about a grand's worth of clothes for $34. Mostly in John Varvatos gear for the boyfriend, I am a shopping destroyer. Suck it, retail prices.
Rant: You know how when you drop a Frito on the carpet and you can't find it, you're afraid of rolling your computer chair because you might crush the Frito into said carpet, keeping you frozen in place like a teenager hiding in a closet in a Friday the 13th movie? Fucking Frito, where the hell are you?
RAVE: Vegas, baby! In N Out Burger! Quads in the desert! Drunken trampoliiiiiiiine! RANT: Drove my quad off a cliff. Sort of. It was more like a slow slide that you can't really reverse. A tree broke my fall, though, so no more broken bones! Yay! I fucking love this place.
Rave: In the States for a 48 hour shopping trip. A dishwasher, car stereo and a DVD for under $300? Fuck yeah, America!
Son of a bitch...more of a lurker than a poster but i need a place to vent. My wife is moving out and it sucks....not what I want and im powerless right now to stop it. If i push for anything it will only drive her away. How do you sit and do nothing even if its the best thing to do when all you want to do is fix it?
Raveish: got the TV fixed. It shouldn't have been broken when we bought it (El husband is hoping the guy gets AIDS), but at least the damned thing works now. We were able to fix it in 25 minutes. Funny: our dog is scared of the TV.
Rave: Awesome deadlifting session with people who can lift a lot more than I can. Really got my technique worked out, I leave my ass way too high when I start getting fatigued. I felt a lot better after some tweaks. Rant: So...much...pulling...
Rave: i just had an honest to god date over a milkshake. I am astonished at the amount of Portugese i have picked up. Rant: with a girl i will never see again. I am awesome at holiday romance, and hilariously unsuited to looking for holiday sex. Rave: I skipped the traditional dating scene when I was younger, so it is nice to have a second chance at it, even if it is barely PG rated. I am happy.
