Rant: Leaving at 5 am tomorrow to go to the commonwealth of Virginia for a family reunion for my wifes mothers family none of whom I have ever met and I do not like new people. I will be traveling with her entire family on Southwest Airlines which is a greyhound bus with wings and not made for someone over 6 feet tall. I have never been to a VFW but evidently the event will be held at one of those places. Rave: My free pass to travel to Mexico to fish will be punched for at least 2 years because I agreed to go.
Rave: Cat scan results are in, sister is 4 years out from her stem cell transplant and still cancer free.
Rave: Wife seems to be okay. Rant: My dad is not. He's in a third world country hospital right now with a tube down his throat to help him breathe. Fuck everything.
Rave: I now have the cards to have the #98th ranked collection of PSA graded 1957 Topps baseball cards in the world. Rant: My set is still ranked at 101 because a number of my cards are still registered to their former owners who have never removed them from their sets after selling them. Now I have to jump through all sorts of hoops to have them added. Double Rant: To move from #105 ranked to #101 cost about $500. Damn this playing with the big boys shit is expensive.
Rave: Holy shit I just saw the "Idiot Board is back" in my spam folder. Rant: Jesus Christ, I was strange back then.
Rave: I really know so many wonderful people. Sometimes they pull through for me and it takes me aback. I might have a decent job lined up that would get me away from waiting tables for 65+ hours a week. Thank god.
Rave!! Went to my first strip club with my best bitch, and it was great. Wanna know what's a real confidence booster? Having super hot strippers take your boobs out of your dress and tell you how great they are. New Orleans is the best.
Rave: Proud Papa moment - if you are in or around NYC, you should really take the time to see this show (if you can get tickets) My daughter is the developer/director. http://gregory-g-allen.blogspot.com/2015/07/theatrical-musical-experience-about-sea.html
Rant: I've been trying to coexist peacefully with the rabbits in my backyard since I moved in, and they officially crossed the line after destroying half of my vegetable garden over the weekend. No quarter for the fuzzy fuckers now. Rave: Otherwise I love my backyard and what is left of the gardens, and my neighbors who want to get rid of all their day lilies as they're redoing their yard and are helping to transplant them around my house. Rave: Getting some nice encouragement and advice from a top gunmaker after he sought out my contact info to reach me. Was mind blowing to see his name come up in my email. Rant: Being the go-to person in the office for handling RFPs here is sucking a lot more than expected.
RAVE: Promotion at work to General Manager. Nice raise and I get to tell people what to do. RANT: Might as well change my title to Babysitter. RANT: After reading the Serious Thread, I feel like a dimwit.
Rant: Sitting at the DMV right now. If this fucking bitch did her job as much as she ran her fucking mouth, I'd be out of here already. Three people in here and it's been a half hour already.
RAVE: Knowing that my cunt of a supervisor is stewing with steam spewing from her ears that I just put in my two week notice and ruined her upcoming vacation. Enjoy never leaving that place and being short handed. Enjoy training someone new at the busiest time of the year. How many does it make that left because your a bitch 4? 5? Good job! RAVE: Scheduled my departure to give me a free week at the beginning of August when the kids are gone and it's just me and the wifey. RAVE: The new job is 10 minutes from the house, I'll be making a LOT more money, and it's the exact hours I wanted.
Rant: The last three days have sucked big old donkey dick, been crook as fuck and working stupidly long night shifts to get everything sorted so we could get home on time. Rave: It was a shitty flight but we got home on time and I have the weekend to myself, took Monday off to recover from the Sunday session on the cards.
Rant: That's what I needed this morning... Six fucking bee sting seconds after walking out the door! One got my pinky toe, it is now bigger than all my other toes.
Rant: I go on one five day bender where I get hammered every night and don't sleep for more than 5-6 hours, and now I'm sick. Such bullshit. Rave: Said bender started with a music festival and went in to three days with some of my very best friends at my cabin (cottage, whatever) up in the middle of nowhere. It might have been the most fun I've ever had; it's nice to be reminded of what life's all about sometimes.
Just got back from a week at the beach with Mrs. Noland which ended up being the best vacation I've ever had. Also, someone in Belize has a fun sense of humor.
Rant: Spoiler: TMI Was working outside sweating all day, well i was sweating so much and it was running down my ass crack so much. That my ass crack split open a bit and was bleeding.
Rave: Now this turned into another job opportunity and for someone at the top of their game too. Could be a huge leap for me and I'm taking it seriously. Utah isn't bad, right? Rant: It would be nice if this was happening at a time where it'd be easier to make the move and stuff, but of course it isn't. So, fuck. Rave: Had an old friend who I haven't seen in too long stop by for lunch yesterday and it was great to have beers and bullshit in my backyard for the afternoon.
