Blah… I have no fucking clue what I’m going to end up doing tonight for New Year’s Eve…. I don’t really wanna sit at home and get drunk with Phil… That’s just no fun. It’d be ok if we could get some people to come over, but just sitting around with Phil and getting hammered doesn’t sound too appealing. Cotton Eyed Joes is having a Mardi Gras new year’s kinda thing or whatever…. Only problem is that it’s like $10 per person to get in and I know it’s going to be absolutely fucking packed… and hot as all holy hell, which will severely detract from the fun factor. The advantage is the sheer massive number of hot ass girls that are going to be there. Some of my other friends are going to Amnesia, which is a smaller club that I don’t particularly care that much for, so I don’t think we’ll be going there. I’d really like to get outta the house and do something other than having a sausage party at the house. Thankfully we’ve not been ridiculously busy today at work, unlike yesterday. However, even though the call volume is low, the crazy factor has been just completely through the roof… Dunno wtf it is about the holidays but people just go nuts and act all stupid during this time of year… and I get to deal with them. JOY! I like my job, don’t get me wrong, I just can’t help but be amused by some of the people I deal with. I don’t really let it get me stressed out or anything seeing as how there are times when I just CANNOT do anything at all for these people and they’ll just have to live with it, but as long as the person doesn’t start swearing at me and calling me names, then I’m going to do what I can to try and help them out… Oh well… holidays are just nuts… and that’s why I hate holidays. Thankfully this is the last holiday we’ll have for awhile, at least until Valentine’s day (yet another pointless holiday). On a completely unrelated note, I’ve had this one song stuck in my fucking head ALL DAY LONG…. it’s a really good song, but DAMN, I can’t get it outta my head to save my life. It’s by a jungle artist called Rawthang and the title of the song is “Scorned”… it’s this really badass jungle track with a really asskicking beat and a chick with a wicked sexy voice singing. Not to mention it sounds really awesome on a good set of speakers. 
I’ll go home and crank it up since my roommate and his g/f are going to be at Amnesia.

Stupid Matt! Haha… no seriously, that phone is totally pimp… I’d love to just carry a phone like that around for a week or two and tell them it was the newest most awesome hi-tech phone on the market today… all while driving around in a 1986 Yugo blasting Loverboy and Kenny Loggins stuff. 
That’d be the greatest. Yeah, I come up with some seriously random shit in the course of a day… I’ll be the first to admit I’m weird.
OK…. I just don’t get this… my job is to hook people up with their installers for their newly purchased DTV systems, right… It’s a really easy job and normally it’s not very stressful. I’m not a very high-stress kinda person anyway; I just don’t get stressed over little things. What kills me is how life-or-death these people treat their TV situation. Going 24 hours without TV sounds like going a week without electricity. I don’t get it one single bit. People also use this lame-ass excuse that they have kids and they just CAN’T go without TV. What does having kids have to do with that? Are you and your kids so reliant on TV that you can’t go a day or so without it? Why do people these days seem to use TV as a babysitter for their kids? Go out and DO something, read a book, play a game, actually spend some fucking TIME with your kids, for god’s sake. Plopping them down in front of the TV to occupy their time while you walk around the house talking on the phone is NOT taking care of your kids, people. I gotta say, sociiety today is really fucked up. People watch WAYYY too much TV… personally I prefer the computer, as I have some control over the content I view. Plus, teaching your kids how to use the computer is going to be a lot more useful down the road anyway… so why plop them down in front of the TV when you can put them on the computer and actually teach them something worthwhile? I can see renting a DVD or something and sitting down with the family and watching it. That’s not a bad thing…. but using the TV to babysit your kids isn’t. heh… end of rant… I just had to get that off my chest.
woo… I’m off tomorrow… I dunno what I’m going to do other than go out as usual tomorrow night. I need new clothes, seriously. I have money to spend, so I might go buy some clothes that I can wear to work. I’m about tired of having to wash my damn pants so often 
Problem is that I’m so fucking cheap, I just hate the thought of spending $30 on a pair of damn pants just to wear to work. I’m a minimalist when it comes to clothes. I really don’t care how they look or whatever, as long as they fit. I don’t go to work to look good. I go to work to make money and fit into whatever the dress code requires. I don’t care if anyone at work finds me attractive, as long as I’m comfortable and don’t go against our dress code (which seems to be very loosely enforced). Nothing worthwhile has happened since my last blog post, to be honest. I’ve worked the past few days and it’s sucked… today wasn’t particularly busy but we got groups of calls in spurts which kinda sucked. We were dead as shit for the past 3 hours of my shift (7pm-10pm) so I just sat around and talked to people and generally tried to make it as interesting as possible.
I ordered a burner for my computer yesterday, so it should be here on Tuesday, which is cool. It’s pretty neat.. 52x burner and it’s translucent… and instead of the normal activity light, the whole front of the drive lights up. I got it for a whopping $37 with free 2-day air UPS shipping. www.zipzoomfly.com is the shit. I get all my computer stuff there, and so do all my friends actually. I need to buy some more stuff for my computer, but I don’t wanna blow too much money. I need more hard drive space for sure. I’m filling up this 80 gig drive a bit too quickly for my own good. Oh well..
I don’t have anything else interesting and worthwhile to post at the moment… I’ll get back with more later.
I think Christmas sucks… I hate the fact that nothing is open on x-mas, frankly… I think if you’re a big enough fucking piece of shit loser that you have to work at McDonald’s, then no one should care if you get Christmas off to spend with your equally worthless shit family. I have to work both Christmas Eve & Christmas… along with New Year’s Eve & New Year’s Day. I don’t really give two shits about working on x-mas, but working New Year’s Eve and Day both just guarantees that I’ll walk into work hungover like a motherfucker. Oh, well… I’m not letting work interfere with my New Year’s celebration. Christmas is going to suck as usual, to be honest. Hopefully we won’t be busy like we were for a good part of today. Apparently, Dec 24th is a huge shipping day for UPS because everybody and their fucking grandmothers got their shit today and wants it installed ASAP. I thought the Christmas holiday was supposed to be for spending time with family and all that happy assed horseshit! Why in the hell are you calling me wanting to setup an appointment to have your stupid DirecTV system installed then? Oh, well… just another point that I don’t see any point in Christmas… It’s not like it’s Christ’s birthday or anything… The only thing of historical significance that happened on Dec 25th was the magi arriving bearing gifts. Jesus was born on Sept 11th, to be exact; that’s kinda fucked up simply because of what happened on Sept 11th a few years ago. However, that would totally make sense as fundamentalist Muslims don’t much care for the Western christian way of life. At any rate, the reason behind Christmas even being celebrated when it is, was that back when it was decided to celebrate it, they were also trying fairly hard to convert much of the Pagan population over to Christianity. Pagans celebrate Yule (Winter Equinox) at almost the same time (Dec 22nd) and so having a holiday that nearly coincided with theirs of course would have made the “transition” to Christianity much easier due to not having to deviate from one’s already set holidays. The same can be said for Easter, of course; again planned around the Pagan holiday of Ostara (Spring Equinox). Need I say more? I’m done ranting about Christmas for now, but feel free to IM me or email me if you’d really like to get into any sort of in-depth debate about the validity (or lack thereof) of the Christian religion. At any rate, some really interesting reading can be found at www.wage-slave.org. I absolutely hate Bush and everything he stands for… He is quite possibly the biggest fuck-up we’ve had in office since I can remember. His dad wasn’t really any better, frankly. I just hope we can get a democrat back in office before we end up pissing off every single other country on earth. Thankfully, he has just under a year left in office… and if I know him, he’s going to try and pass some seriously bullshit laws right before he goes out just to make our next president’s life a living hell. Our next few years should be quite interesting to say the least. Heh… that’s all for that rant… now for a few random things to throw out…. One, I kinda sorta had a date yesterday, I guess. This girl I’ve been talking to online and I went out to dinner at Calhoun’s and it was pretty good. Nothing really noteworthy went on. She’s a pretty nice girl and all… extremely tall, at about 6′1, but she’s pretty good looking. I don’t get the idea that she’s really all that interested in me, which is fine. I’ve never really been one to get all bent outta shape over a girl. It’s just the way I am. I’m me and if she doesn’t like me, oh fucking well. Maybe I’ve just not met the right girl, I dunno. I just can’t seem to come across any girl intriguing enough to capture my attention long enough to flip out over. I guess what I really expect most from a girl is to be incredibly intelligent. I just can’t stand a girl who can’t sit down and engage in an in-depth discussion about why George Bush sucks (or doesn’t suck, depending on your point of view), religion, or any other discussion topic that requires an actual brain. I also don’t much care for girls who can’t differentiate between too, to, and two. I don’t dig improper grammar too much in general.. bad spelling is yucky as well, but I can put up with it. Yes, I’m picky but there’s NOTHING I can’t stand more than having to dumb down my conversations around girls (or just people in general). I don’t deal too well with people of lower intellectual level than me. Case in point, I was having a discussion about Kid Rock and his lack of talent… and this particular female said the following of Kid Rock, “He sings good”. Just hearing those 3 words together made me want to just scream. If anyone has no idea what’s wrong with that sentence… I feel sorry for you. Needless to say, things like that are my biggest pet peeves. Even more amusing was when that very same person tried to say that she knew more about Christmas than one of my friends, yet did NOT know that Dec 25th was not the actual birthdate of Christ… that didn’t even piss me off, that just almost made me piss myself laughing, to be honest. Any self-respecting Christian should know this fact, it’s pretty well-known to every major denomination of Christianity. But hey, whatever; I’ve come to the realization that not EVERYONE can be of a useful intelligence level. I suppose we need some idiots on earth to balance things out. Just sucks that I happen to run into so damn many of them. Then again, the fact that Bush got elected is proof in and of itself that society is dominated by the idiots. And on that note, I’m out… time to go do other stuff like play games or something.
goddamn 7am and I’m just now going to bed… pitiful… I was up for like 3-4 hrs playing Rise of Nations, which is a pretty cool game, just too fucking hard. I gave up, said fuck it, and got online and talked for a little bit. Now I’m finally tired and ready to hit the sack. I shoulda gone to Joes tonight; at least then I would have had something beautiful to look at. Oh, well… I didn’t really have a ride, so it’s not like I coulda gone anyway. I’ll be going tonight and possibly getting drunk. I’m not sure if I want to or not. Maybe I’ll just have a few and not get really ripped. I dunno. Saturday was very uneventul as usual and I’m sure today’s not gonna be any more interesting than any other day (well, besides the few hours I spend at Joes… that’s always an adventure). Anyway, that’s it for now… and damn the girl in that picture down there is cute as fuck. Too bad she’s shady as shit and pretty stuck up. Figures… typical shit from a hot girl, which is why I generally don’t even bother with them. However, I’m not going into that right now.. maybe some other time. As of right now, it’s time to attempt to do the whole sleep thing.
Ok… I’m listening to bassdrive yet again and I’ve yet to NOT be amazed at how fucking incredible the ChiTown boys are… Bassdrive is a streaming drum n bass internet radio station of sorts and quite often they have live DJ’s spinning. This one group of guys from Chicago are just fucking amazing. I dunno how they do it, but I swear they throw down some of the sickest music I’ve ever heard. Plenty of jungle remixes of R&B songs that just absolutely blow my fuckin mind… then this one song called “Swept Away” by Enemy. This has become by far my favorite song over the past couple of weeks (they always make a point to play it) simply because of all the amazing elements it throws together, most notably the female voice which makes me just wanna bust a fuckin nut. Not to mention the really cool backing music and such. I think I’ve become quite the dnb fanatic of late. I listen to it probably more than any form of music now. I still dig some other forms of techno… trance, hardtrance, etc… and I still like industrial, metal, hard rock and some alternative; but above all, I love jungle. I guess part of it is the fact that it’s so diverse and there are so many good undiscovered artists out there. Not to mention, downloading jungle won’t get you in trouble with the RIAA! For those of you out there who don’t get to listen to much techno or haven’t heard much jungle, go to either www.bassdrive.com and click on whichever link at the top fits you… 128k for cable/DSL or 32k for you dialup users. Throw away your preconceived notions about anything “techno”. This is nothing like you’ve heard before. Also, you can go to www.dogsonacid.com and check out their collection of dubplates. Anyway… Jungle rules, ’nuff said [end of rant about jungle].
I think I need to start blogging more… it’s a good release of stress, I suppose, and I don’t really update anywhere near often enough. I actually have friends bitching at me to update my blog. Problem is, I lead a relatively uninteresting life. Well, at least I don’t consider it all that interesting. I suppose I could post every mundane and unimportant thought that passes through my head in a given day, but that’d be a shitload of typing and not terribly interesting to read. I’m quite the scatterbrained kind of person and I go off on tangents throughout a conversation almost constantly. Unfortunately, it seems to drive my friends nuts because I’ll be talking about one thing, which will remind me of something else, so I’ll drop the initial subject and just go on about that for awhile until something spurs a thought about something else, so then it’s off on yet another tangent. Honestly, there’s no telling where a conversation with me might go. It’s almost comical, to be honest. The other thing is that I talk REALLY fucking fast in person a lot of times, which is particularly unnerving to slow-speaking southerners. The reason that all this even came up was the fact that I was on the way back from the liquor store with Sam (he wanted me to buy him liquor since I’m over 21 and he’s under) when I did just what I’ve been going on about… tangent conversations… I bought him a 1.75L bottle of Southern Comfort and I was talking about how it was nasty, which reminded me how much I REALLY hate Wild Turkey, which reminded me that Shaun made me try 2 drinks with that shit in them on Saturday night while I was really drunk, which reminded me that I was so drunk that I asked Bethany why she was so perfect, which reminded me that she IS perfect, which reminded me that she was wearing a catholic schoolgirl outfit with knee-high leather boots… and so on until we got back to the house and the conversation was over. He mentioned to me somewhere in that whole conversation that I go off on tangents all the time and I just talk faster and faster as I go along and he finds it amusing. I’m sure most of my friends would agree that yes, it IS amusing, and frankly I find it rather amusing myself. I’m actually even more fun to talk to when I’m drunk, because for some reason I really like to get into in-depth conversations about the most inane things (yes, inane not “insane”). I dunno, I guess I’m just one of those people whose brains is always going 65477687435867 miles a second. Right now, I’m just insanely bored, so I’m just spewing random bullshit. I’m listening to www.bassdrive.com and rather enjoying it, but that’s pretty normal when the Chicago boys (as we call them) are spinning. Bassdrive broadcasts a lot of live DJ shows and almost all of them are REALLY damn good. The guys from Chicago (Phix, Zew, and the rest of the crew) are just amazing, though. Every time I tune in, I swear I hear some shit I’ve never heard anywhere before. Makes me wish I had mad skillz, yo. I love electronic music and it’d actually be kinda cool to have the talent to be a decent DJ. *sigh* anyway… I think I’m fucking hungry again, which irks me simply because like 5 hrs ago, I just had a double whopper value meal king sized from BK and now I’m hungry again. What gives? The more I eat, the more I want to eat. My metabolism is so ungodly fucktarded. ugh. Anyway, back to my quest of finding someone intelligent to talk to and possibly to go get some food at some point.
Alright… time to post a little before I hit the sack… A few other noteworthy things happened last night that I forgot to mention in my last post. I met up with an old friend named Missy last night at Joes… I hadn’t seen her in damn well forever because she’d moved away to New Mexico to be with some dude that she was engaged to. Amusingly enough, I said something about it and she informed me that she was no longer engaged, but that she had “met a hottie” (apparently that night). She went with us to IHOP after we left Joes (this is our normal ritual) and ended up getting strawberry syrup poured all over her by Nay Nay, which was most amusing. Apparently the lid was not screwed on very well and so when Nay Nay went to pick the thing up by the handle (which is part of the lid), it came apart and dumped all over poor Missy. As usual with just about every time I see Missy, I ended up playing with her hair. I dunno what it is about her hair, but I always end up playing with it. It’s really really soft and fine and it feels like silk. Pretty cool shit Simply put, I was drunk as fuck and really didn’t care. I was so drunk that when I got home, I just laid down and grabbed a blanket… When I woke up, I realized that I had not grabbed my normal blanket; in fact I had grabbed Linn’s big ass red blanket. It’s actually an electric blanket, but she doesn’t have the cord to it… it’s still warm as fuck, though! I woke up feeling like complete ass, but didn’t puke and was able to eat just fine at about 8:30 or so. That brings us up to tonight, when I went to Joes again. I stayed sober tonight, however. I drank last night and didn’t feel like having a hangover 2 days in a row, especially since I have to work tomorrow. There seemed to be an overabundance of beautiful women there tonight for some reason. I didn’t even get a chance to talk to the redhead at all tonight. I saw her a couple of times, but I just don’t go out of my way to talk to people, so I figured if she didn’t come to me, I wasn’t going after her. I don’t even think we made eye contact all night either. I guess she’s a lot more attractive when I’m drunk… I dunno. This girl Jenna and her friend Nikki were there tonight as well… Jenna is one of the 459827435897234905743985 girls Steve is trying to get ass from right about now. Nikki is her unbelievably cute pregnant friend. She’s already got one kid by some Mexican dude and now she’s got this one on the way from an Asian or some shit. Hey, while you’re at it, might as well have one by a nigger and a white boy too. The Census bureau would have a field day with that one. It’s a shame because she’s cute as fuck and actually has an ok personality, but she’s got more baggage than O’Hare Airport! I know it’s corny and cliche, but looks aren’t everything. One of my other friends was back in town from college… I hadn’t seen her in a few months since she’d gone away, and well, let’s just say that while she’s been away at college she’s “filled out” quite a bit. Dunno wtf they’ve been feeding her over there but I sure as hell could stand to gain about 20 pounds too. Her stomach’s still pretty much flat, but her ass has blown up quite a bit. I think I’m gonna get her a “wide load” sign for christmas to put back there. Amusingly enough, I wasn’t going to drink tonight, but Bethany just walked up to me, climbed up on my lap and proceeded to give me 2 shots without my permission. I mean, it just totally fucking sucks when the most beautiful girl you’ve ever met walks up to you, jumps up on your lap and puts her tits in your face. I mean, I can’t believe she could be so inconsiderate and do such a HORRIBLE thing to me. *end of sarcastic interlude* Anyway, I ended up not having to pay for the shots because while she was about to give Nay Nay a shot, a fight broke out and some dude smashed a beer bottle over some other dude’s head about 10 feet from us and we got sprayed with glass and beer. Talk about fucking GAY. Fucker was bleeding like a bitch too. What kinda damn pussy smashes a beer bottle over the back of someone else’s head? Put the bottle down and beat him down like a real man would… with your fists. I dunno, I don’t fight at all but I think that was just plain shady as hell. Eventually we all left and went to IHOP, but nothing interesting transpired there, so here I am now posting this before I hit the sack. Nothing else post-worthy seems to come to mind right now, so I suppose I’ll go to sleep now.
ok… time to update the blog again with the latest events that no one cares about. I went to CEJ last night and got fucking blistered… joy joy. Had quite a bit of fun… My favorite shooter girl there was wearing a goddamn Catholic schoolgirl outfit! Argh! Talk about fucking HOT.. omfg.. It was bad enough that she had the cute skirt and tied up white button up shirt on, but she even had on knee-high leather boots. I ended up walking up to her and asking her why she has to be so perfect… she replied that she isn’t [perfect] and a discussion about how incredibly fucking beautiful she is ensued. My friend Caro informed her that I think she’s beautiful and I want to go down on her… She got all embarrassed and walked off when Caro told her that, though. Thankfully she didn’t hold it against me at all and still talked to me later (which is when the “perfect” discussion took place). I ended up buying like 5 shots from her… 3 for myself, then one for Nay Nay… and at that point she had one left so I paid her for it and just drank it instead of making her give it to me. I also ended up running into a girl I’ve known for like 2-3 years and she went to IHOP with us… she rode back with us too.. heh… anyway, time for me to go back out again tonight and I’ll report back with more interesting stuff later.
