the Nonsense in Between

I'm Spent

I need a vacation. Or at the very least a good night's rest.

Company Funeral

The last time my entire company was together was in celebration and with good spirits. Tomorrow we will join with great sadness to say goodbye to a coworker. My heart breaks for this man I knew only briefly and especially for the family and friends he left behind.
You never know what lies beneath a smile.

May your soul find peace, Regan.

More Pressure (with a dash of Insanity)

There is a brick in my stomach, a merry-go-round in my head, and a 12 story building on my shoulders.

P.S. Dave, this one's about pressure too.

Moving Sucks!

Well, here we go again, another summer of moving. Last year Dominic came all the way to New Mexico to move me up here, then we moved again a month later. This year we get to move twice, again! We have to be out of this place on the 31st and cant move into our new place until the 6th. So we're moving all of our stuff to Ginger's (Dom's dad's Girlfriend) for a week.
If anyone out there wants to help us kids move (twice) let me know and i'll provide pizza and booze for all! I might even call you my savior.

Pressure

I'm buried under what feels like about sixteen thousand psi. And incase you're wondering what that feels like just think about the witch on the wizard of oz then multiply that by about 3. Unfortunately, today I find myself in a predicament much like the wicked witch's, only i'm not wicked or deserving of this.
Anybody got an industrial strength hydraulic jack?

Phone Rage

As technology claims to improve craftsmanship seems to be deteriorating. A year ago I upgraded to a new cell phone. At the time i asked for a non-flip phone but there were none. So i recieved a Samsung flip phone model #sch-a670. About a week ago the plastic hinge began to crack. I tried to treat her with care but her time came to an end this afternoon. In desperate need of a cell phone that works, i dragged my angry ass to the verizon store. Needless to say, my blood quickly boiled over as I spoke with the SALES person. I sadly held my dismantled old flip phone and explicitly said to him that i did NOT want another flip phone. As he walked me around it became clear that Verizon is hell bent on selling only flip phones. Of all the phones available only one was not of the flip phone variety. Disappointed with my lack of options i halfheartedly chose the only non flip phone available. Two hundred and some dollars later I'm the unpround new owner of another flimsy plastic phone by Samsung. But this time i opted to purchase phone insurance which i'm worried is just another scam to get more money out of me. For $200 dollars a pop couldnt they just afford to make a phone that works?

Monday Already!?

Monday always seems to come too soon. I'm grumpy this morning. Perhaps I woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Perhaps there is no right side of the bed on monday morning. I think i had bad dreams or something. My brain just isnt functioning right, as i'm sure you can tell by my senseless rambling.
I shake my fist at you, stupid Monday!!

R Rated

My mom and i are fighting. She hasnt been this pissed at me since i was 16 and i got etchasketch dust allover the place. Ok that was a joke but this is serious. The otherday we get to talking about the Motorcycle Diaries, a movie i recommended she watch. Now, incase you dont know this my mom, for religious reasons, does not watch rated R movies. I told her this movie was a good rated R movie. They just kinda curse alot but the overall message makes up for it. Well, she said she could only watch part of it until the cussing got too bad. I was so pissed at her. I told her regardless of the rating of this movie it has a better story and message than most G rated movies out there. FUCK!

So she and i proceeded to have an argument about the "f" word. I argued that the "f" word cant hurt you, especially if its in a movie. At first our argument was light hearted, then suddenly she threw the book at me. Seriously, she started talking about the bible and God and Jesus. She said in my defense of the word fuck I was also defending other sins like murder! I love my mom to death, but seriously murder? Murder is wrong whether your christian or atheist, whether you live in a city or the jungle. The "f" word however has varying degrees of wrongness and meanings. Some examples:
To your grandma: "fuck!" =very wrong
to friends: "my grandma's cookies are fucking great" = not wrong at all
What's more is that any word can be a "bad" word if you use it in that context. And word's meanings change over time. Fuck, everything changes over time except apparently the bible. The bible really should have had a clause written in it that said "The core values are (this), (this), and (that) everything else will change over time, the end. love, God. p.s. heaven is fucking great!"

Motion City Soundtrack

Last night Dominic and I joined Dan in Denver for the Motion City Soundtrack show. It was a damn good time and i'm sorry for all of you who couldnt make it. The first band was barely memorable but we all took a liking to the second band. They're called Dropping Daylight, and they put on a great show, their lead is a guy named Sebastian who rocks it out on the piano! By the time Motion City came on Dan had filled me with enough drinks to tranquilize a bear! The blurry memories that remain of their set are all good. Dominic and Dan went down in to the sweaty pit with the kids and had a grand time. After the show we bought some CDs, talked with some of the band members, then after several attempts we finally caught a cab but for some reason did not go home. Somewhere between me crying for a breakfast burrito and catching that cab the decision was made to go to another bar which left me baffled and hungry. So we visited some denver bar whose name i dont remember but what difference does it even make? All bars are filled with the same lame crowd: Dressed to a T and all looking to get some A. So we stumbled back to Dan's place where my wishes were granted by Dominic who put a yummy breakfast burrito in my belly.
Thanks again, Dan for all the drinks and a safe place to sleep.

i dont want to grow up

Sometimes i feel like i'm more adult than other people my age or even older. Today i wish i weren't so grown up. Tomorrow is my 23rd birthday and i want to be 21 or even 18. Cant i still get help from mom and dad? Cant i be irresponsible and careless for one more year?
Today i had to go apartment shopping because its time for us to move. Its a major headache and all i want to do is take a vacation from thinking this weekend. Now theres all these application fees, deposits, pet deposits, $, $, $. I dont know where this money is going to come from.
I know this sounds selfish but tomorrow is my birthday, cant i have anything i want?
