I found Alabama interesting on my last visit. The roadside rest areas were some of the nicest facilities I've ever dueced in. However most other structures were worth less than my shoes.
I'm from Mobile so that is mainly what I'm familiar with. Downtown Mobile has a history very similar to New Orleans and the buildings reflect it. There are some pretty nice historical places there. However, get way way west in Mobile county and you'll run into trailers. I did not know these places existed until I went to pick some shit up from Craigslist.
So...for the first time in years, I went in a big city Wal-Mart. Jesus fucking Christ on a scooter, that's the last place they should sell guns and ammo. If I'd purchased a gun there I wouldn't of made it 20 feet before I shot someone for pissing me the fuck off. Seriously people control your children and show some common respect (Like getting out of the fucking way when you're blocking the whole aisle and people are waiting for you to choose between chunky and smooth peanut butter. We really do have better things to do.) Also the Negroes and Latinos frightened me.
Yes, indeed I have. I like it. Just applied for a job. I probably won't hear anything just like I haven't heard anything from the other jobs that I have applied for. The downside about job searching out of state is no ability to network, but I can't really network around here much either because I don't particularly want my employer to know I am job hunting right away.
I'm a little confused on the new social mores concerning spousal abuse etiquette, is it now permissible to head butt your spouse if you ask for prior permission? <a class="postlink" href="http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/12/sport/chad-johnson-arrest/index.html?hpt=hp_t3" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.cnn.com/2012/08/12/sport/cha ... ?hpt=hp_t3</a>
The Dolphins just released him. And I have no idea what really happened, but anyone who saw his wife act like a psycho bitch on Basketball Wives knows that there could easily be more to this story and she could be the aggressor. For all his on the field antics and stupid public statements, he's always stayed out of trouble off the field.
Stop being surprised, stop acting like professional athletes should be role models. They're just the pricks you grew up with who liked to talk shit. Yes, there are some exceptions, but when you're only good at one thing, and handed everything on a silver platter throughout your entire life you develop a complex. Fuck them. <a class="postlink" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyyKLqlNTCM" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyyKLqlNTCM</a>
"Yeah, so I guess those are my big projects for the Fall: learning how to write screenplays and seducing this girl." - An excerpt from a conversation where I was catching up with a friend.
I'm surprised about Johnson just because he never seemed the type. He always seemed like the loudmouth class clown type, more than the asshole jock type.
Anyone else ever see someone in the streets visibly shitting their pants? I mean, pained grimaces, awkward half-squat, and no one within a twelve-foot radius on an otherwise crowded street. Man, why can't I ever just travel to somewhere there are scantily clad bitches with an affinity for hairy gringos, instead of the utter weirdness I usually experience? After watching Hard Knocks, La EspOcho seemed like a crazy bitch. Cutting someone off at training camp? That's a damned good way to get a "laceration." I feel bad for the guy, because antics aside, he is seriously talented. I figure someone will pick him up, but that was probably the straw that broke the camel's back with Miami's "I could not be more white" head coach.
Every single person I've known that has met old OchoCinco in public has told the same story of him being about as quite and shy in his mannerisms than anyone They'd ever meet. His on field/tv persona was way different than what you'd see in real life. But that doesn't mean the dude isn't incapable of making bad decisions, marrying a gold digger from a VH1 reality show was just the first. Hey, maybe the guy just wanted to end his career as a Bengal and figured this was the easiest way...
I'm on my phone getting ready to fly back to the Chi. I'll have to spoiler up a WDT to show some pics from the trip. But if you could do me a favor and Google "Hawker 800" you'll see what I'm flying back.
