Rant: Teething seems to be tough on the boy, he hasn't been having such a nice time the past few days. Rant/Rave: Seems I'm the favourite parent, for the moment anyway.
Rave: Went out last night and got drunk. Rant: I'm feeling it today. Rave: Going to eat some Mexican and drink margarita's before going to see Ted. Rave: The neighbor girl is pretty cool, good looking and can financially support herself. Rant: She has a 2 year old son and is dating some Chair Force bubba. Eh, oh well. At least she's cute and can cook.
Rant want faster service at a bar? Carry cash, it makes everything faster, it makes your fellow patrons not wait in line so long. Nothing like having a 20 something Scottsdale delta-bravo having me swipe his $300 limit capital one visa 5 separate times because he is afraid to start a tab and has spent his daily allowance his mom gave him. Rave its Saturday,its summer and its near a holiday, the freaks will be out tonight and they won't be wearing very much.
Rant: Getting sick and tired of this sore and painful throat I've been carrying around this whole week. And let's not forget the bloated tongue. Good times. Rave: I can finally whistle. Maybe it has something (probably) to do with my sore throat, but now I can whistle for real. Usually it's a weezing, shrill sound, but today while taking a shower I could whistle a whole fucking song. I feel like I'm finally becoming a normal person.
Rave: Popped my "Meet a Board Member" cherry, thanks to Pussy Galore. Rave: Something Something Bakery in Atl. Peanut Butter French Toast. The meal that killed Elvis, and it was worth every sad, diabetic, obesity-inducing bite. I'll start that paleo thing now soon. Rant: Job interview at 1:30 in the morning on Sunday? I'm never getting to sleep at a normal hour.
RANT: Fairly confident I have chlamydia, seeing how my girlfriend came to me crying a few days after her bi-annual vagina inspection and told me she had chlamydia. RANT: The first time I slept with my girlfriend was a month after my last hook up. She said she hasnt slept with a guy other then me since last August so she has a six month span between her last boyfriend and me. So I gave my girlfriend chlamydia. RANT: Her doctor wrote her a prescription for chlamydia medicine and gave her enough for me too. We took the pills last night (four of them for a total of 1000mg of medicine each) but I'm feeling sick as hell from these pills, I haven't stopped shitting in two hours. I'm typing this right now from my toilet. Overall I just feel bad though, I gave someone I really liked an STI which was the first one in her life. She made it through 6 years of university over three provinces and I had to be the one to give it to her. I told her I'd understand if she wanted to break up with me but she said she dosen't want to. Does STIs make the heart grow fonder? Who knows, maybe this one is a keeper.
Rant/Rave: I ended me first big kid's relationship about a month and a half ago. The good thing is I've been able to distract myself with my writing and set a record as far as how much I contributed in one month. This month I wrote 16 different features for the boxing website I write for and I went to LA to cover a couple of fights. One of the fights, Victor Ortiz vs. Josesito Lopez, was one of the best I've been able to cover from ringside. 16 articles might not seem like many, but most of what I write requires a couple of interviews and aren't just quick briefs. Been getting a lot of looks from bigger boxing sites and actually might be fulfilling a lifelong dream of doing commentary, though it would be for an online pay-per-view. Rant: It was my ex's birthday yesterday and I was unsure how to proceed. Haven't talked to her in three weeks or so and even though she was on my mind all of the day I felt it was better to just lay off on any communication. Her birthday last year was one of our high points because I knocked that shit outta the park, so kind of a weak day. ???: A boxing writing colleague of mine just moved to San Fran and seems like someone who'd be fun to go to the bars with because he will take home any chick he can and I can focus on the more attractive friend. Still deciding whether or not I roll out there, haven't been going out much recently. Taking this girl to a Mates of State concert on Monday at The Independent, won those tix on Twitter. Love the internet.
Rave: Taking my first vacation days to do something other than visit family since Independence Day last year. Heading out of town to see the same high school buddies I did last fourth of July. It's going to be an unreal shit-show of a week, judging by historical standards. Goodbye sleep! Minor Rant: Met a new girl a few weeks ago. We went on a couple dates that went as well as dates can possibly go, but we've been unable to get together since. I can't tell if she's not that interested or genuinely too busy, although I think I need to stop dating grad students regardless. This ain't my first rodeo, and I'm normally not one to get hung up, but this one is smart and fun as hell, and really nice looking as a bonus. Life would be easier if I wasn't such an impatient mother fucker.
Rave: The weather this long weekend! Perfect! Four straight days of 85° and sunny! That's almost unheard of up here on a long weekend ... or any weekend. Rant: This was my third year sneaking into the concert across the bay (like a frickin' ninja) via water and this year I got caught! And it gets worse!! Apparently if you come in via the shore, you're allowed!!! Something about the fact that it's all rock, so there's no access and they can't police the water — Whatever. It was all pretty funny until they took my El Jimadors and my beer tent cups then gave me a stupid stamp instead. ... And of course the trip back to the house was just pain in the ass, rather than triumphant. ... And yeah, my friends where there to poke sticks at me — those fuckers.
Rave: Mango Peach V8 juice is the fucking bomb. I just chugged a whole bottle because fuck yeah. Rant: Picking parents up at the airport means missing the second half of the Euro final. I hate to say it, but I'm considering having a "flat tire".
RAVE: The highest judicial authority in these great United States, that most august and inviolate body of the the most just justices, that great Supreme Court, has ruled must righteously that those who lie about being the recipients of military awards can no longer be charged as violators of the law. What a wondrous country we live in, where the dishonor of the courage and sacrifice of our veterans is protected under the law. In all seriousness, I get it, limiting the First Amendment is a slippery slope but if we can put in considerations for hate speech, there has to be a clause or statute that could be added to provide for punishing these assholes.
Rave: Heading home to see friends and family after 6 months blasting around South America and the US Rant: ending travelling. I've had an utterly awesome time, meeting fantastic people and seeing some of the best sights in the world. It'll be hard to readjust to regular people life. Fuck me in the ass with a syphylitic donkey cock rant: LAX. I hate this place. Last time I was here I swore I'd never return to this pit of festering ass. Instead, I've given myself a 12 hour layover in order to watch the soccer final. At least there's beer. Rave: emails saying a research paper of mine has been accepted, and a sort-of job offer in Boston provided I can secure some funding. Hopefully back in the new year on a permanent basis. Rant: 9 more hours of waiting followed by a 16 hour flight home. I've already been up for 13 hours today seeing as I left from DC. Fuck.
RAVE: Southern girls with perfect teeth and belly button rings. RANT: Said girl getting super cranky and anti-social as the evening was getting to a critical point. Oh well, on to the next one I guess. RAVE: Afternoon booze cruise was amazing yesterday, great weather, awesome people, just an overall great time. Passing out at midnight isnt preferred but at least I got 10 hours sleep. RANT: Moving in tomorrow isnt going to be fun, but it sure as hell beats moving out. RAVE: 1.5 days of work this week is also pretty sexy. Yay America.
RAVE: What has two thumbs and lost eight pounds this week? This guy! (points to self with both thumbs). Some of you may have heard of the 17 day cleanse, and that's what I'm on. If anyone wants a quick fix to losing some excess fat, this might be it. You're going to have to get over not having red meat and pounding vegetables like a brontosaurus, but this has been quite easy to stick with. The last two pounds, though, came from sweating in line at King's Island today.
Rave: Won tix on Twitter last week to see Mates of State at The Independent in SF tomorrow night. The last time they played there, a 21+ venue, it was a week before I turned 21 and I couldn't go. I saw them open for Death Cab in '06 at Greek Theatre and have been a fan ever since. Am taking this girl I've been talking to recently, who was at that same concert. Won the tix from the @amoebasf account. Interestingly, my ex tried winning the tix but I beat her to the punch. She doesn't even really like the band much and was likely just trying to spite me. Lame. Mates of State are a husband-wife combo on keyboards and drums with some backup. They're pretty cool. Can't believe this will be the first show I've seen this year aside from an in-store from Silversun Pickups.
Rave: Saturday was spent flying to block island for a beach day. Rave: Sunday was spent learning how to wakeboard. I actually got up this time!
Rave: Saw a guy wearing a giant foam cowboy hat driving a purple Plymouth Prowler. Rave: Played disc golf for the first time on Saturday. I'm hooked, and there are apparently half a dozen courses within 20 minutes of me. Rant: Had a conversation with my aunt about fisting. Yeah... Rave: Impromptu pool relaxing and BBQ get-together yesterday. Friends, booze, and great food.
Rant: My four day long weekend is drawing to a close and I have to go to back to my job, which I use to love, but now I hate due to our new muscle bound, body builder, gold bikini wearing, roid rage prone boss — who I am positive has no testicles and possibly no man parts of any kind (I'm serious — I've seen photos of him in the gold thong). Rave: It really was hands down the best weekend I've had in a very long time. I wouldn't change a moment of it.
Rant: To all you assholes who complain about ONLY getting one day off for the 4th, saying "why dont we just all get Thursday and Friday off too, it only makes sense." No, it doesn't. How about you be grateful for getting a day off to drink, BBQ and blow shit up. Get to work, you lazy fucks.
