Rave: In the last five days I've done 5 km, 6 km and 6.5 km runs and I'm not pulling up sore although it's a little slower than I used to be a few year ago. It's good to be getting some km in. Rave: Always something good to look at along the river path too.
Ra??: So, sent my first nude photo today - at the age of 28. I feel like this is an important milestone in one's personal development.
Rant: Stupid pile of shit fucking breathalyzer that Oregon made mandatory for a first offense DUI. I was starving after my shift last night, blew into the dumb thing, started eating a loaf of homemade bread my friend had brought for me. Second test comes up, I blow a fucking .06. Car starts honking, won't go above 15mph, I'm driving around a neighborhood at 1:30AM with a blaring car horn. I spit out the bread immediately, drink a swig of water and blow again, 0.00. FUCK shitty technology. Now I get to pay $100 for the pleasure of failing a test, and get to explain to the court in December that no, I didn't go from zero to drunk in five minutes, I was eating fucking bread. Rant: On top of that, I hope the stupid London cunt I cut off at the bar last night gets the fucking black plague and dies in another London fire. I cut you off because your friend had her fucking head in her husband's lap during a fancy fucking dinner, and none of you could walk to the goddamn pool tables without wobbling like a heroin addict on a highwire. Tell me, "Don't fucking smile me?" Don't worry, in my head I'm driving your head into a toilet full of period blood. I hate you.
Rave: The trip to Turkey with Boyfriend was awesome (albeit too short), and we made it through 9 days of (sometimes stressful) travel together without any real issues. In retrospect, GPS might not have been a bad idea, but it was more of an adventure without it. Ruh Roh: Kind of starting to regret the fact that I'm not starting an MSW program right now. Not sure if choosing to take a year off in between was a good idea. Must find a job, must apply to grad school, must pretend to be a responsible adult.
Rant: Asians, I know this is a big ask, but can you please try and walk/drive in a straight line at the same speed as everyone else? 20 something Chinese kid, I have no idea why you shambled 2m out of your way to end up in MY fucking way only to stop right in front of me, staring up, blinking like some sort of surprised zombie, but it should have been you who moved rather than being ignorant and triggering my polite upbringing. I am pissed off I ended up moving out of your way even though if we had collided you would have come of second best. And for the kicker I even said "sorry" before I could stop myself. You of course, said nothing. Next time, next time... Yeah I'll still be polite, fuck you Mum.
rant A friend of mine, who is literally the most physically fit person, and probably the nicest guy i've ever seen or known was found in the river today. He was last seen in our downtown bar district around 1 am Fri night and someone found his hat and sunglasses on the bridge. i'm literally numb. this guy survived 3 tours, ran a 150 mile race in may and just did a 100 mile race through the Rockies 2 weeks ago.
There's going to be a lot of sad preschoolers this fall. Why? The mean 31 year old took all the Velcro. Apparently, the only shoes that are suitable for my feet are the type you'd see on someone with a major mental disability.
Rave: Not sure if this is a rave or I shook something loose in my head during last nights run but I decided to do a marathon before my birthday next year. Could be amazing or it could end up with me in a screaming heap of broken things. Onward with the madness.
Rave: 25lbs up on my squat, and 20 lbs up on my deadlift in a fairly short period of time. Rant: For my bodyweight, that's still low. Lame. Rave: Spent the weekend with The Husband. Rant: it only cost his entire paycheck to make it happen. Rantiest Rant of all the Rants: I detest people who steal from their children. I detest freeloaders. I loathe laziness and unwillingness to contribute. I view life as one big fucking potluck, and everyone is invited. Some people show up and bring something to the table, and they take from the table, and it's an even exchange. Some people ate before they showed up, so they didn't bring anything and they're not taking anything. They're just there. And the other type of people show up empty handed, double dip all the chips, and slug down the good beer. Those motherfuckers are takers and you don't need them in your life. My tolerance for the biggest taker of all is pretty fucking low...and I'm being asked to allow her to continue to lie, cheat, and steal from her own children. I'm not sure I can do that.
Rant: I got sick over the weekend with a pretty nasty cold and wasn't able to get much work done. I'm supposed to go to Oklahoma on Friday to visit my little brother and go to a concert headlined by Mumford and Sons, but there's no way that can happen now. I'm too far behind in everything. I bought these tickets for us last spring and they weren't cheap (to my broke ass anyway). I was super excited to see popular bands that I'm a fan of play a bumfuck city in Oklahoma that's only 30 miles from my little brother, so I didn't hesitate to buy them. Plus it would have been my first legitimate concert experience. so it would have been worth the money. Fuck the little petri dish of a junior high kid who gave me this shit. I didn't realize we had enrolled Typhoid Mark this year. I'm putting a Hazmat suit in my class budget. Rant: I'm that guy who always ends up talking about his job, and because that job is school it's extra lame.
Rave: Fuck yeah got tickets to this. http://fallsfestival.com.au/ Can't fucking wait, three days of sun, camping, booze, bacon and some decent tunes for New Years.
RAVE: Doing really really well in Nursing School. Aced my last two tests. I don't care what they said there was definitely a lot of material on that first test they did not cover in class. In a class full of A students the average grade on it was a C and everyone I spoke to said the same thing. I'm one point away from having an A average in the class overall and so far all the labs and practice clinicals have been a piece of cake. Can't wait until next week when real clinicals start. RAVE: Have the next three days off, tomorrow is my birthday and I will be home alone since the wife will be at work and the kids in school. Peace and quite finally! RANT: Tomorrow is my 44th birthday. 44. That number just does not compute. In my head I'm in my mid 20s tops. I guess that's what's really important but fuck, 44? The march of time can suck my dick.
Rant: I hear all these rumours of scandalous board hookups, and I want to play but there's just so few Aussie members. Where's Scootah when I need him? One day I will hook up with someone from TiB. One day...
RANT: Got a scathing email from our area director about my CSI scores. RANT: Didn't have the willpower to not write a reply about how I think the scoring system is bull shit. RANT: He wants to meet tomorrow. RAVE?: Get fired?
Re: Rant & Rave Thread Rave: no work tomorrow, so drinking tonight, And tomorrow rehersal dinner so free booze and open bar at my cousins wedding Friday. Rantish: missing out on two days pay
Rant Really 1951 carpenter did you have to make 22 1/2 then 23 inch and sometimes 21 inch centers on the studs, what the fuck is wrong with you have you never drywalled using 4x8 sheets? Thanks for making a simple job fucking difficult. Rave I like the new house
RAVE: My friend needed a roommate, so I decided to move in with him. I didn't know if giving up my apartment was a good move or not, but I'm really glad I did. Not having construction/traffic noises going on outside 12 hours a day makes time spent at home a lot more enjoyable. Plus I'm saving about $200 a month! RAVE: God I love Vancouver. The longer I stay here the more I never want to live anywhere else. Old view: New view:
Rant: Fuck this day. God damn do I feel like hell. Woke up at 11 last night and spent most of the night just puking like a madman, and spent my day with a fever and felt like I was going to die. Rant: Tomorrow is an absolute must in terms of work. Short if being physically dead or in the hospital, I must be there.
