Rave: My girlfriend will be moving into her apartment up here tomorrow! DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP IS OVER!!! Rant: I have two roommates... one decent guy, one more intolerable than not. The decent guy may be moving out. Shit. Rave: The project I've been working on for over a year is just about complete and headed out of my shop on Monday. That'll be a big weight off my shoulders and a nice contribution to my wallet too. Rant: It is 70 degrees outside and the AC is on full blast in here. Ridiculous.
RAVE: So I tried climbing today and it turns out basically 80% of climbers in the centre are mothefucking GORGEOUS. Male and female. Head is spinning. RANT: Every muscle in my body wants to die.
Rant Refrigerator has been on a solid downward slide for a few days. Finally hit the bottom today. . . $550 later, new one tomorrow. Rant Swamp cooler did the same thing a few weeks ago, luckily it was only the motor. Rave Having a son! Found out the sex last week.
RANT: More fucked up news out of Mississippi. It turns out the washer and dryer out of my main house have been stolen and until yesterday the fucking house was sitting unlocked with a fucking key broke off in the lock. Someone is going to get a straight up ass beating when I get back down there. As of the moment my missing belongings are in the neighborhood of $14-$16K, not to mention the damage to my other house, my trees, and my tractor. I never thought I could be mad enough to hit a woman. I now know differently.
Rave: I've been away for a long while, but yesterday was 9 months of sobriety for me. My life is still far from perfectly in order, but early next week I should be free and clear from all the debt I ran up while drinking very, very heavily. Rave: I leave on Labor Day to spend my final college semester in a study abroad in Buenos Aires. But instead of taking classes at a university while I'm down there, I've spoken with the department head who's allowing me to play second division soccer while I'm there and write an 8-10 page paper on the effects of players leaving Argentina to go to Europe (he happens to be a big Messi fan). Rant: I think being 10,000 miles from friends and family will be a major test to my sobriety. Though I haven't gone to AA since the first month or so, I may have to look into finding a meeting while I'm there. Rave: Changing my avatar after realizing it's still a Bud heavy logo.
Rave: Sent in my insurance claim to USAA about my cars bumper being torn up during towing. Rave: They said they will take care of all the paperwork, phone calls, etc. Rant: My deductible is $500, the estimate was for $425. Oh well, at least I'll get it reimbursed by the towing company. Rave: It's the weekend.
Rant: House guests suck ass. Two bottles in my fridge. One marked WATER. One bearing a Canada Dry Gingerale label. Guess which one my guest used to fill up my Keurig? Fuckin' hungover slob put gingerale in my goddamn coffee machine. How does that even happen? How do you not notice it's GINGERALE the instant you open it?
Rave: I have a cute kitty laying on my tummy. Rant: Translation: I have an 18 lb cat laying directly on my bladder, and I might piss the bed soon.
Followup Rave: I think I talked the wife into me not going. I told her I intended to do a LOT of work on the house while she was gone, getting a lot of things done that I can't do when she and the kid are here. This was always my intention, but I was hoping to surprise her. Once I told her the massive list of things I planned to do (i.e. clean garage, put up shelves in garage, put up closet doors, bring out contractor for our basement, clean every room in the house, etc), her eyes got really bright and the wheels started turning. She began to do the math in her head. "Is it worth letting him stay home to get this done, or should I make him go?" I think she is now leaning towards me staying home to get some work done. Rave: I can finally get some shit done around here.
RAVE - I just got approved for the loan to purchase the property my bar/restaurant resides. Fucking awesome! Now I'll be my own landlord, such a weight off my shoulders. My wife and I have been trying to do this since we bought the business back in 2006 but for obvious reasons regarding the economy it hasn't happened. (Nobody was going to lend a restaurant a few million dollars when the economy crashed.) Edit: I'm a gonna get drunk tonight!!!!!!!!!
Rant: The neighbors 2 year old shoved my Military ID into the PS3 when neither of us were looking. Fuck. Rave: After putting a movie in and ejecting it over and over again, the PS3 rejected my id and spit it out. Hooray! Rant: Crazy gay guys fighting across the hall from me. Cops, yelling, banging on doors and walls, broken door frames, etc at about 2am.
Rant: We just got an email from the girl we rented our apartment from for the last year demanding that we pay her several hundred dollars for "destroying" her shitty IKEA sofa that was included in the rent. We did nothing but sit on it, and occasionally sleep on it, and yeah, it looked like someone had been using it for a year, and the color faded some, but the windows of the living area faced the sun, and the color faded, even though we tried to keep the room as dark as possible. There was no other place to put it, and you can't do anything about the fact that the sun streamed in through the windows every day.
Rave: Rugby Spoiler Fuck you Wallabies, the Bledisloe is staying in New Zealand for another year. If you're lucky you might get it back in ten more years. Rave: My girlfriend is awesome.
Rave: I finally gave into el husband and let him buy all the parts for his dream computer. He was practically jizzing all over himself from the time he hit order to the time he finished assembling everything. Pretty sure he could have gotten everything cheaper during the black fridays sales, but hey. Newegg was having a small sale, he had coupon codes, and he got free shipping. Can't hate on that too much. Plus side (for me), I get to use his old gaming laptop! I previously only used it when he was asleep or at work but now it's alllll miiiiine! I'm pretty stoked.
Rave: <a class="postlink" href="http://www.whatthechrist.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">www.whatthechrist.com</a> It's like Reddit, only with none of the cat pictures. I may never get work done again. Rave: Cowboy Bebop is surprisingly good and I'm glad I decided to watch it. Rant: GODDAMNED RAIN GO AWAY Rant: GODDAMNED MONSOON RAIN GO AWAY. Also, please don't kill me.
Rave: Girlfriend is moved in. Her apartment and the location is great. All is well. Rave: Sex, sex, and more sex.
Rave: I went with my fiancé to his fantasy football draft which was pure comedy. Boys are funny. I thought my fiancé was weird bringing his iPad but everyone had all of their gagdets with them. I don't understand it but it was so entertaining to see how happy this shit makes all of you guys. second Rave: Him paying a couple hundred bucks to enter this thing justifies my recent purse purchase!
