Rave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=_xkQCZfhm4g I got a great ab workout via laughter upon viewing this.
Rant: traction at PT today made my back stiffer and more painful than it has been in a long time. I hope it is temporary and that the traction will actually improve my condition. I am so fucking sick of feeling like an 80 year old woman. I think 8 years is long enough to be dealing with this shit. Enough is enough.
hoho haven't posted here in a while. Here's the last 6 weeks in a nutshell, in classic r&r form: rant: breaking up sucks rave: visited brother in warmer, nicer, ocean-bordering state to clear my mind, totally helped, got really drunk rant: getting appendicitis sucks rant: getting appendicitis is kind of expensive, but it's almost $40,000 if you don't have insurance rave: i have great insurance rant: first time seeing/speaking to ex girlfriend after several week hiatus while wearing a hospital gown and high on morphine with your ass cheeks hanging out is mildly embarrassing rave: haven't bought a pack of cigarettes in over a month. rant: still smoke occasionally and when they are readily available, by no means a cold turkey quitting. rant: been to gym 3 times in the last 4 weeks, and it's been miserable. Rode my bike about the same amount of times rave: booked flight to Europe! Fuck this place for a couple weeks! Landing in Stockholm, leaving from Amsterdam. Everything in between is not planned at all yet. Flight's in 2 weeks. rant: one room mate moving to central America for work, which is awesome for him and I'm happy. But room mate 2 and I had to sign on a smaller, more expensive place rave: i got laid! several times. rant: doesn't count! it was ex girlfriend. rave: going to Europe still, remember? And it was under $500 round trip, AND i got a 500 euro gift card from KLM for fucking up. rave: totally reposted some links people bring up on here and now my friends think i'm witty and resourceful! thanks TiB! rave: softball team is up 3-2 now, most games we've won in past 3 seasons which is sad to think about. Got a few more games left, too. rave: roughly 5 more days before my appendix-hole is ~80% healed, which means regular workout schedule is back and I can go back to saving cash and biking to work. rant: gotta be up for work in 4 hours! or 5-6 if I snooze enough, commit to buying lunch, and drive instead of take public transit. rant: if any of my friends or coworkers post on here and read this, they will for sure know who I am because what are the god damn odds? Thanks for listening tib.
RAVE: Roomie had a fight with her boyfriend this morning that ended when she threw a piece of hot french toast at his face. Powdered sugar went fucking everywhere, but it was still one of the funniest things I've ever seen. They made up almost immediately and she ordered him to clean up the mess. My kitchen is fucking spotless now.
Rant: I cannot stand my ex-girlfriend! Rave: I'm not with her anylonger. Rant People who can't keep their word bug the shit out of me (even if it was an ex) Rave: I'm not with her any longer
Rave: NOLA. Anybody have any suggestions for stuff to do? Rave: Passed a window with some blue dog paintings, leading my mother to ask, "what's up with that dog? why is he in all those paintings? what is he surprised at?"
Rave: My dad invited me to some accountant's meeting being held at Shula's Steakhouse by the beach. Delicious prime rib, mashed potatoes, cheesecakes, and several Guiness', just for sitting through a presentation. Plus I sat next to a cute auditor from Bulgaria. We kept each other entertained the whole time. Rant: Cute auditor was married. Ah well. Rant: My stomach is now letting me know scarfing down all that food (oh, and delicious bread too) was a terrible idea. Rant!!!!!: Missed half of Suits! But with no Donna the show just isn't as bright.
Rant: So, it's that awkward moment where you realize you're posting for the first time in ages and none of the old-timers (where are Durbanite's painfully lame rants about "Supernatural"?) are around to welcome you back and none of the new kids give any kind of a damn who you are because you have no rep any more. Rave: I'm an old timer! I don't give any kind of a damn about who does or doesn't rep me! And any way, you lot are still carrying the torch of counter culture raving regardless of whether you're part of the old guard or the new guard so fuck it! Rant/Rave on!
Rant: I went to add my wife to my auto insurance policy, and due to the fact that she doesn't have a driving record in the States, the policy jumped nearly $200 per month! Seriously? She got her license in Germany, where they take driving very seriously, and have to spend an exorbitant amount of money just to be licensed to drive. Anyone ever hear of such a thing, or have any suggestions on how to insure her when driving our cars without us getting bent over with insurance premiums?
Rant: Flight and visa delayed by a Korean cunt...who lied to me over the phone because she has a half dozen visa applications to deal with. It's a great way to start a relationship with a new boss. Rant: Worst birthday in years...stuck at home, alone with no car and nothing to do. Rave: At least school is going well. Halfway through with this term and I've got myself a pair of A's.
Rant: I must be more tired today than I thought I was. I just went to make a cup of coffee, put a new K-Cup in the machine, hit brew, and then forgot to put a fucking mug underneath. What a mess.
rant: slowest afternoon at work EVER rave: dirty evening ahead with the new boyfriend. Should I tell him BEFORE we go out for drinks that I'll have a butt plug in my ass all night long, or just text him a pic of it from the bathroom once we get there?
Rave: Here's to high quality mental health professionals helping you get back up after you've fallen down. Things are starting to turn around. Rave: Here's to awesome girls who come visit you for a week and don't ask questions about the doctors appointments they drive you to. Rave: Saw the new Batman movie here. Holy fucking shit. If you're ever in Philly you need to check this thing out. No matter how much someone talks it up, you're never prepared the first time you see something on it.
Rave: Was asked to step in and speak at a conference tomorrow when the person I'm substituting for had to bow out at the last moment. Having just finished grad school 2 months ago, that's a pretty good nod. Rant: Mrs. is out of town until Wednesday. Oh lonely nights...
Rant: Bourbon-ised facebook rampage last night. I don't wanna know what I was saying to people. I seriously need a breathalyser lock for my laptop...
Rant: Had to tell people to STFU all night tonight because they kept trying to tell me all about the new Batman movie. I've been going out of my way to avoid spoilers because I haven't been able to see it yet (combination of a lot of work hours recently and a complete lack of babysitting). People kept wanting to tell me everything that happened in that movie, and just shut up when I say "hey, don't want to hear it." Rant/Rave: May see it tomorrow, not sure yet. We have a babysitter for us to go out to a fancy dinner for our anniversary, but my wife suggested blowing off dinner to go to the movie and then just getting some cheap food. Then she said "well, I guess we're expected to go to a nice fancy dinner, though, so I don't know." So... I don't know.
Drunken, depressing, pussified, cathartic rant: Spoiler That girl, you know, the only girl you ever thought you could love? The one that cheated on you and left you with an inability to stay in relationships? The one who even after 3+ years you still have dreams about? Yeah, that one. She just got Facebook again. And you decided while drunk and depressed to search her name "just because." Cue mind fucking.
