first off i want to apologize to my livejournal for neglecting it.  i'm sorry babydoll.  i'm here for you.

i regret it too because this year has been one of the most interesting years of my life and i have no documentation of it.  i guess i'll just have to step it up a notch next year.  but i need to vent on here about the idiots we just elected ( Read more... )

yesterday afternoon we went floating on the river.  we stopped to get beer at a gas station where i have been refused service several times because i was not wearing shoes or a shirt...partially because i keep forgetting to put them on, but mostly because when it's 90 degrees out i cease to give a fuck.  i was reminded of this as i was about to  ( Read more... )

gotta start ranting in here again...about actual things i do, not just bitching.  i'll still bitch though.  there's always something ( Read more... )

today dave (co-worker) was whining about how barack obama is donating his nobel prize money to charity. why? because it says in the constitution that any sitting president who comes across a sizeable pension MUST give it back to the american people.  he received 1.4 million dollars. there are 300 million people here. that's roughly four ( Read more... )

every time i talk about how much i love winter, or how much i love snow, or how much i love fucked up wisconsin weather, i am totally disregarding all the inevitable car problems that come along with it. from the way this week has gone so far, i'm pretty much just waiting for this phone call to go down ( Read more... )
