Rave: My wife’s naivetés when it comes to guys hitting on her is hilarious. When she got back from down town she told me she got asked out. She always says no guys hit on her, I tell her it happens way more often then she thinks. This is the conversation that happened as she was shopping down the baby isle. Guy: So who are here shopping for? (hint number 1 that he was hitting on her) Wife: A couple of my friends are having kids and just getting stuff ready. Guy: Ok, that nice Wife: I have one at home, she is 8 weeks old today. Guy(as he was looking at my wife’s ring finger, no ring she doesn’t normally wear it, hint #2): So would you like to grab a bite to eat some time. Wife: No thanks, my husband is at home. (she clue’s into that fact that he is looking at her ring finger). I normally don’t wear my ring. Guy: Oh.
Rant: I should have known it wouldn't be this easy. Since the instructions say that it is first come first serve, I was searching for anecdotes about getting into these tapings to see how early we should show up. It turns out that VIPs get first crack at being in the audience and they only let regular ticket holders in if there are any left after that. It's not uncommon for there to not be any seats left. I really wish I had researched this more, I didn't realize there was such a slim chance. Fucking VIPs.
Rant- A friend of mine had her brother killed by the cops today. Don't know much detail outside of what Ive read in the news. Someone called the cops saying he needed psychiatric help, later reported as someone with a gun was in need of psychiatric help. There was a scuffle and three shots fired. No one seems to know if he even had a gun or not at this point it is up in the air as they dont know if it was him or the police who fired. I only met the dude once but I talked and argued politics with him quite a lot on Facebook. Feel sad for his family. Shit sucks.
Rave: Thank you nice dude at the gym who gave me a tip to make my lifts easier. Deads are way easier with the 45lb plate because the bar is higher off the ground.
Rave Kid Rock brings it hard live, not many bands will play outside in Phoenix in the middle of the summer but he did an hour and 45 minutes in humidity and 100 degrees, if you have never seen him live it is worth the $20 for a ticket
Rant/Rave: Its now been brought to my attention by multiple people that I tend to whistle Christmas music. I honestly didnt realize it until I caught myself doing it. What an odd idiosyncrasy. Shameless Braggart Rave: Got offered a chance to write (or collaborate on) an article for HuffPo. Its on politicians. Not their views per se, but the art of being a politician, personality types, charisma, etc. It will be an interesting experience and a fun reprieve from the normal day-to-day. Rant: Not sure if I will be able to link to it here once its published as it will reveal my identity. And oh god, the things Ive said.
RAVE: Hello TiB from New Orleans!!!! Sitting right now in Jax Brewery. RAVE: Today's my birthday!! RANT: After only a day of NOLA food, my stomach is wailing "Whhhyyyy?! So much spice and grease!" You know what, stomach? Toughen the fuck up because we still got four more days.
Crushing Rant: Man, when it rains, it pours (napalm into your ass through a funnel). Yesterday, all of our funding for this new restaurant group was supposed to come through and it was going to be the best day in a long damn time. But on Tuesday, basically everyone--I mean everyone--but me (thank god) was served papers and sued, which resulted in the freezing of said funds and some crippling delays. They're working on getting a stay put on the order on Monday to see if the funds can still be released, but so much damage has been done at this point that its almost certain the company won't recover. We didn't do anything wrong, but anyone can sue anyone for any reason and tie you up in court if they have the resources to do so--and this guy really has the resources. Back to looking for a job...again. Fuck.
Rave: I managed to get a BFM shirt off theChive this morning. Rave: Start a course on Monday that runs for three - four weeks and has early knock offs most days. Rant: Looks like I'll miss out on the trip up north in September which means not catching up with a lot of friends that live there.
Rave: My mom is sort of wacky and writes crazy long winded emails to the family whenever she wants to tell us about her day. I swear to Jesus, either I have been away from real people too long or she is actually funny. She needs to write short stories about her dumpster diving. I am sensing some Southern mayhem version of Ladies No. 1 Detective Agency sort of vibe here. snipped Spoiler I think I am losing it. Every time I read that last line I start chortling again.
I am currently at Penn State for a swim competition for my daughter. I dropped her off for warmups then went to get a cup of coffee. I am currently sitting in a parking lot watching an old lady spoon feed ice cream to her dog. Her dog is standing on the table. I wonder if that table will get wiped down before the next person uses it. She is now eating the ice cream after her dog. That stuff grosses me out. Rant: I forgot deodorant. I never forget that stuff. Fortunately (for the people around me), its only supposed to be 80 degrees today and I'm not a big sweat-er. Now I need to find a store. Rave!: Daughter killed it in the 800 free. Almost broke 10 minutes, which isn't too shabby for a just-turned 14 year-old. Three more days to go! Rave: No bedbugs in my $63/night hotel (I checked). I wasn't sure what I would be getting.
Rave: Mandatory overtime finally kicked into effect in this upcoming paycheck. Hello extra 40%. Rave: One of my coworkers brought in some very good homemade breakfast burritos. Spicy ones. Extra helpful in that I have about $1 to my name until Tuesday. That would be a separate rant, but, burritos!
Rave: Anyone need a yoga mat? http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-3153/Hilarious-Yoga-Mat-for-Sale-Ad-on-Craigslist.html
Rant: Why the hell would anyone want to wear underwear? I can't think of anything more uncomfortable. Fuck the last 5 hours I spent wearing them.
Rave: MEGA HAPPY DANCE!! Job interview this afternoon with health services to push some paper for their winter immunization clinics. PERFECT job opportunity while I'm still a student, since my end goal is to work with our CDC in infection control. Could not ask for a more appropriate entry level position and work experience that will be starting 5 days after I'm done school! Rave: If career path to infection control goes according to plan, I will have advance knowledge when the zombie apocalypse begins. Rest assured I'll notify you all when peculiar cases of 'rabies' start going around.
RANT: I got an email from American Express saying they found suspicious activity on my card. And sure enough, someone has been purchasing airline tickets from San Domingo to Newark. Rave: Amex figured it was suspicious, and alerted me. It has been incredibly easy to deal with. I could not be a happier customer.
Rave: Fuck Yes!!!! My boys got up in their semi final for the second year in a row. Awesome chance of going back to back Super Rugby titles. Go the Chiefs. Rant: I am terrible with females.
