I love to eat, I hate being fat

so it's getting fixed

2006-02-10T10:13:00.000-08:00

no not the dog.. he already got that.

my truck. $8000 in damage and a twisted frame later.

the insurance company seems to feel that it's ok to be fixed.

great, here comes the problems.

i fucking hate insurance companies.

they have had my truck for 2 weeks and finally after me calling them for the last three days i have an answer.

i can only hope that it gets fixed faster now that they have the ok to move forward.

and i was a preferred customer. yeah right.

scammers

2006-02-08T05:26:00.000-08:00

ebay sucks.

i have been absent from the whole ebay thing for a while and last night it got me again. this time i didn't lose money, only a hope.

i have been looking for a new car/truck (new to me) and i figured that i could see what was available on ebay and maybe bid on one or "buy it now"

but once again a bunch of scam artists have gotten into peoples accounts and made false auctions for cars that are priced way, and I mean way below their value.

1957 Chevy Beal Air, totally decked out with new motor, tranny, interior, and everything else for $6000...? yeah right.

especially since other were going for $26000.

it is sad that shit like that happens.

but i have lost all interest in ebay once again.

but i so badly want to use it to sell some stuff.....

decisions, decisions..

fight the fight

2006-02-02T13:34:00.000-08:00

so the latest word from the insurance company is that the frame is bent.

actually the body shop told me that the frame is "twisted really, really bad"

oh, and that now in this time that does not mean that it is totalled automatically.

anyone explain that? shit the frame is twisted really bad and it is not totalled??

they were telling me how they could replace the frame...Ha!

can you picture the frame of your car/truck coming out and being replaced....?

seems like an awful lot of work to be done.

so this should be an interesting fight with the insurance company now.

i have a feeling that they are going to push to fix the frame. i am pushing as hard to total the truck.

any one know a good lawyer?

miserable

2006-02-01T05:40:00.000-08:00

i am in a lousy mood today.

ok, i am down right fucking miserable.

i have a feeling that most of you will follow me on this one if you have ever been second guessed by your lame ass bosses.

it's so funny to watch my genius boss come in and feel that HE will be able to fix all of the problems, ignore all of us telling him that it's under control, make the same phone calls that we did, and find nothing.

stupid rat bastard. after 10 years in this business you would have thought that i would have learned to get out of it.

distribution sucks.

and so does my boss.....

but tomorrow is a different day, i think i'll take it off.

blame

2006-01-30T07:32:00.000-08:00

this gets me everytime.

blame. blame on kodak.

kodak has been in our town for a very long time. since it first started it has been here. now it's harldy here and moving out more and more each and every year.

and they keep getting blamed for more and more in this town.

but why should kodak be the safety net for the city?

why didn't other manufactures come in and set up shop as a safety net? how come the city officals didn't become pro-active and make sure if kodak, or xerox, or bausch and lomb ever went out there would be something for people to hopefully fall into.

all three of those did that. crapped right out, but kodak keeps getting bashed.

can you blame companies for moving to mexico, or india (like dell) or china?

ny drives companies out of this state. taxes, fines, bs regulations..plus all of the enviroment nut jobs seem to get most companies all twisted up and so freakin messed up.

dell just announced that they are going to hire 5000 workers...great!

but in india.

plus a new factory is going up, great!!

again in india.

imagine customer service now with them. it sucks now as it is, but it will be awful once that kicks in.

so, back to what i was saying. if you could produce a product here in the usa for lets say $10. and someone else can make it for $3.00, plus sells it for less than you cost..

what do you do?

look for better manufacturing techniques? sure, look over seas.

that is where it is. my company does it all of the time.

we have to do it. nothing is really produced here in the us. some is, but there will be a counter for it soon, and a better cost.

how can one buy a bearing, made of steel for less thatn a pack of gum?

how can most us manufacturing companies sell product to the chineese for a great cost, and then have them basically cpoy it, manufacture it, and sell it back at a lower cost than we can buy it for here in the us.

it's sad, but it is life.

have you looked at new car prices lately?

scarry. scarry to think that one day we just might be an importer.

pictures

2006-01-29T17:36:00.000-08:00

Still waiting for a word from the insurance company on the damage.

brake repair = accident?

2006-01-27T04:47:00.000-08:00

so, two days ago my wife got into an little crash.

well kind of a big one. she was traveling along down the road and the truck slid out on her.

smacked the wall three times and anothe truck.

thankfully no injuries, just a busted truck.

she was actually upset more for the damage to my truck than anything else.

so now we got a little easter egg rental car to drive (way way too small for my liking) but what can you do for $30 a day that your insurance co covers..?

now there is a little more to this. the brakes just got fixed at the local ford dealership.

there was a problem with a valve on the brakes that made them lock up. i had it happen to me a few times and brought it in.

they found a problem and fixed it.

but now my wife told me that the brakes locked up on her when she went to slow down for another car.

maybe that spun her?

i could see a new truck on ford coming?

but maybe not.

there is a lot of damage.

i need to post pictures.

blogexplosion

2006-01-24T11:07:00.000-08:00

so i see that blogexplosion.com has launched or is going to launch some new blogging thing.

you get paid to blog.

i am interested to see how long that will last. split 50% of the revenue from ads with you based on how many times you blog gets seen..?

most of the ideas on the net do not seem to last very long.

what about that on-line poker "learning" site. shit, i can not remember the web site, but the tv is loaded with all of the ads from them..

anyway, how much longer can a free poker site work?

maybe another year?

are they gonna make the mistake of spending 2.5 million for a 30 second tv ad at the superbowl?

most of em do.

i can't lie, i signed up, but now i am torn. do you still post at two spots or just one?

thoughts?

2006-01-23T04:51:00.000-08:00

monday. blah.

plus everyone in the house is sick.

coughing all night long, now I know what it was like for them when i was sick.

plus i got a letter from a jehovas witness (sp?) in the mail on friday.

something about god and how i should read the letter that they sent me, blah blah blah..

so i sent it back to them.

if you couldn't tell, i am not religious. not in any way shape or form. it's a great story, one that many believe.

and good for you.

i don't.

there are reasons. none that need to be told by me here.

let's just say that everytime i go by a church i hope it burns down.

i can not forgive.

turn it to glass

2006-01-20T09:05:00.000-08:00

ya know...turn the middle east to glass.

one bomb, like what happened in japan, and make that sand into glass.

the japanese seemed to have left us alone since we fucking destroyed their lives.

just think about it.....oil would be $10 a barrell, and gas would be .50 cents once again.

we could draw all of our troops out of the middle east and japan and germany and every other place that we are in.

seal the us borders and expell all foreign people out. no more student visas, and a very, very long background check to get into this country.

then offer what ever price we want for the oil, and if they don't want to take it..we have alaska!!

this country has gotten way to soft. everything has to be fair and balanced.

too many lawsuits for bull shit things, and too many soft people.

i don't want another building with over 3000 people to come down again. i want them to come down.

i don't want another airline go bankrupt due to the fact that some crazy ass sand bastard got in it and flew it into a building.

why do we have to be the helpers? no one helps us when we have a major disaster.

it's about time we told the world to fuck off. go save yourself. we should get back to making our won stuff and depending on the usa, not the middle east.

but, no one will do it. no one really cares about the usa, and it is sad.

really sad.

but they are all quick to blame it when something goes wrong in the world.

did you swallow yourself?

2006-01-18T05:05:00.000-08:00

who in the hell asked you anyway to come and help me?? (see previous post)

i didn't. i really don't care about your posts if you are going to say that you were trying to HELP me.

i don't care if you felt sorry for me, that's what you get for feeling sorry.

and who are you? all your emails are sent from blogger with no way of replying back besides on my site. plus where is your site?

you hide like a coward behind your computer. i have nothing to hide from you or anyone.

personally i did like the little back and forth between you and i. sorry i am not so quick for your superior mind powers.

but it just goes to show everytime. i am here and you are where?

no email, no site, no way for anyone to find you at all. why not?

coward.

oh, and i called you honey for one reason. it bugs you.

the crazy lady is back again!!

2006-01-18T04:00:00.000-08:00

Hey Jeff (Honey?), I've been humored by your temper and reactions to my comments. I came across your blog in searching for something unrelated and felt sorry for you seeing that no one gives a shit about your life because you have 0 comments on most of your posts... other than mine...so I thought I'd stir up a little action in your life. I thought your posts were pretty childish and whiney so I was in the mood to reply in my free time for humor's sake. Also, I see you live in Victor, NY...about 15 minutes away from me so it made the online interaction even more funny. But, I've given you enough attention - more than you deserve - and you're boring me already. I was hoping for an intelligent or at least witty response from you, but I only got your defensive and cocky attitude. You're no fun... Don't get too worked up over making a reply to this, unless you're trying to impress your other blog reader. I'm not interested in this dull site or your dull personality and therefore I won't revisit to read your response. So, waste your time if you want, but it won't be wasted on me!!!!Good luck with that attitude :)Sherry

The funny thing is that I do fine with my attitude and my life..I am really not shaken up that no one leaves and comments on my site on a daily basis. I was thrilled that you did, and still enjoy your emails looking to be better than me. It's nice to see that you live only a few miles away from me. Hell we may have even run into each other before.

From what you know off of this site is all one view. My family life and home life are totally different. This site is what is on my mind.

No, no I am not quick these days with come backs, but I do find it funny that you still keep sending me emails. You keep replying to my posts and you still come here and look at my site. You say you wont, but you know I will post your email and a response to you. so thanks for coming by once again..I know you are reading this. But I wanted toend with you know my normal "fuck off" or go screw bitch..But I wont.

Bye bye..Honey.

new people

2006-01-17T05:46:00.000-08:00

no not new posters here, but new people.

there is fake homeless lady (who i think is back)

and

really bitchy bike lady (from below post)

updates as the come in.

this is gonna be fun

Once again....

2006-01-17T05:40:00.000-08:00

"well fuck ya very much!"

this is what i was greeted with this moring in my email from my previous post yesterday...

You are simply a miserable human being. I'm sorry for your wife and daughter, especially considering your latest comments. It takes an intelligent, creative, loving, and respectable person to keep a relationship "in shape". Guess what it takes to complain about a personal relationship to the public? An asshole. You might want to think twice about calling road bicyclists "assholes". In fact, if you knew the law, you would know that many of them are supposed to be on the road and NOT on the sidewalks. Lighten the fuck up Jeff, and I'm not your honey.

all for the fact that i told her and other that come here that bike riders who ride in the middle fo the road are assholes. and they are.

and so is she...honey.

the funny thing is that right now i am smiling that i got another stupid idiot all going over a post that i made.

that my friend has made my day today.

ha ha ha...honey.

7 year itch

2006-01-16T16:32:00.000-08:00

no not from some medical or sexual thing, but in marriage.

today is 7 years for me. a long 7 years has come and well almost gone.

don't get me worng, we are happy...sort of.

but it all comes and goes.

when your marriage goes from fucking like rabbits in the woods, to best friends, it gets old.

don't get me wrong, well ok get me wrong..it sucks. are you married? i don't care if you are a guy or a girl it happens to both sexes. it just one day goes away. the romance is gone and it is like a friendship.

it's kind of like a gay person, living with a straight person.

we have a child, i don't drink and either does she. not for any other reason other than we have a kid. a 6 year old that keeps us busy and we keep her busy. by the time it comes around to drinking i am too tired out.

i quit smoking, so there goes that relief, and all i have left is tattoo's. but she worries about money so that happens less and less. she actually keeps herself up at night worring about money.

married life is not the best, but it does have some benifits..i think.

you just get to a point where there is no love/lust anylonger and it at times seems like a waste of time...you know?

but 7 more will probably pass and things might come around. i actually hope that they do. i really enjoy it, and so did she..i think.

plus how do you take a lover/wife/husband telling you no to sex for bull shit reasons?

it's not easy.

fried chicken and gas

2006-01-13T06:57:00.000-08:00

fried chicken and gas....

if you have ever seen House of 1000 Corpses you will know what i am talking about.

Captin Spaulding seems to thank people with "Well fuck ya very much!"

that is what i am gonna do.

take for example my last comment that i got from the previous post...

she seemed to get a bit moody from my rant.

so "Fuck ya very much!"

i do wish i could use that everyday in my job. there are so many that could use that response.

just like the last customer service dope that i just talked to.. why is it that now a days it is hard to do something for a person.

"sorry you will have to fax that in..."

why? just take the information that i am giving you and forward it off, like everyone else does...it fucking called customer service...

there is a real shortage of it now, and it gets more and more frustrating. you know most people are like fast food workers.

order takers.

am i a hater

2006-01-12T05:35:00.000-08:00

so i was driving into work today and made a swing into McDonalds.. see i told you i love to eat.

but anyway, as i was leaving mcdonalds i looked across the street to see a man walking down the road with a shopping cart. no big deal...right?

why in the road? why not on the sidewalk that is right there..designed for a man as him. why does he have to walk in the road with his cart and slow down trafic, or make people wait for him to cross a driveway so that a car can turn into the store?

why do they constantly do that? it drives me up a freakin wall. there is no damn good reason not to walk or ride a freakin bike on the sidewalk. i want to drive by those people and knock them over.

get the hell out of the god damn road!

plus you bike riders...ohh, i know a touchy subject. but why do you think that you in your bijer shorts, and you 30lb bike have the right away...you don't have turn signals installed, you are smaller and you can not get the hell out of my way.

I hate you that ride in the middle of the lane like you are a motor vehicle. get out of the road!!!

and when you get run over I laugh! Ha Ha Ha. (not really, only when I am grumpy)

but get on the sidewalk. i don't think you have any right being in the middle of the road at all. you can't get on the highway, or any of the major expressway, so why in my way on the side streets?

it just makes me crazy to have to deal with the color coded skin tight goof balls on a bike.

i am atruck...2000lbs, you are a bike...130lbs (including bike).

I win.

and then it went....

2006-01-11T04:53:00.000-08:00

yep. blank.

my mind. driving into work today i had these great things that i was going to type about. what to say, funny little side notes, and all that good stuff.

now...

blank.

i sit here at work (yes on company time) and stare into this old screen. we are so far behind here at work with technology, it's sad.

plus our so called IT people...yeah you guessed it..they suck.

imagine calling the help desk, or helpless desk as we call it and over and over getting the same response..."i call you back"

it's been 6 months and they still have not called me back. i usually figure out the problem fix it and then call their boss to let them know that i am charging their department back for my time.

he he, gets them going ever time.

oh hell...i have nothing today.

where did all the toys go?

2006-01-10T04:45:00.000-08:00

so last night we headed out to toys r us for a mini shopping spree for the little monster since she got rid of amazing amanda.

umm, where did all the toys go?

toys r us, target and wal-mart had crap. i can see wal-mart and target not having a huge selection, but toys r us....come on

i can remember as a kid running into that store and finding everything i wanted with no problem. last night there was nothing..and what was there was crap.

50,000 dolls, that all do the same thing and cost $75 to $100.

clothes...put more toys in!

is there a toy shortage, or is everything just crap??

i have a feeling that it's all just crap.

i actually found more stuff on-line at those same stores than i did in the store.

and they all still complain that shopping is down. hmm.

i am hot...no not like that, but freaking hot...it's been warmer here in upstate ny (kind of like early spring) and for the last few days i have been sick (as most are).

but today for some reason i am dying of heat. i normally run hot (house temp is usually at 65 to 68) but for some reason i am dying today.

i have a feeling that is how my day is gonna go. see i just made the phone ring...damn customers, and look at that..it's a problem.

oh well, it's life.

help me here

2006-01-09T04:30:00.000-08:00

Ok, so the stamps went up again.

now it's at .39, so all of my .37 ones are now going to have to get 2, .01 cent stamps as well....

so, a caller to a local show last week made this statement:

post office raises stamps to help offset the budget process that they have, but everytime he walks into the post office there is a AOL FREE TRIAL cd sitting right there on the counter..

hmmm, free aol= email= easier communication= on-line bill pay= no need for post office.

hmm, maybe it's me, but aren't they shooting themselves in the foot?

**UPDATES**

Amazing Amanda doll went back to the store!!!!

I am so glad that it is gone. Worst toy of 2005/2006 by far.

Sister in law in record time screwed things up with new man. It only took here 6 hours to blow this one and scare off another good guy. See people, drinking will do it evertime.

she is reminding me of a hooker more and more with every guy she gets to buy her stuff.

i would say a high priced prostitute, but come one..even they have standards.

i wish i could

2006-01-08T09:11:00.000-08:00

well it looks like my sister-in-law convinced another guy to marry her.

ha ha ha ha ha ha..

what a dope.

she seems to find different guys all of the time. and where that is not a problem for most women she is not the best of them.

She is a huge drinker,and a mental case no less.

but once again she found a decent guy to screw up. he is gonna be thinking it was a big mistake within two months, if not less.

man i wish i could rope as many women in as she does men.\\oh, plus she just got a $2700 diamond....

and, trust me..it's nothing special to be with. not talking about the diamond here.

well, this should be a good laugh for the next few months.

boring today

2006-01-06T09:17:00.000-08:00

i have nothing to say, or actually nothing relevant to say.

i am boring today, i have a feeling that it is due to the fact that it's friday.

and on the weekends i don't post, and i am in the weekend mode.

plus i have to go to the doctors today. like right now.

damn i am late...crap crap, but i will probably have to wait anyway.

see ya.

in a funk

2006-01-05T06:45:00.000-08:00

You know from a earlier email we were discussing being in a funk.

being in a funk from a cold. i took tuesday off to relax at home and i got sick.

i come into work and i get sick. this time it's the cold, or should i say again it's the cold.

so i am in a funk.

bored and in a funk.

plus the gas station just up the road from my house is on fire.

hey, there goes the high gas prices that he was charging.....

oh, and the regional vp is in to give reviews.

i have nicknamed him "GQ"

he just reminds me of someone from gq, or who wants to be from gq...you know too pretty for his own good.

i'm in a funk..did i mention that?

plus i am broke. well wait..i do have $6.32

that should get me a gallon or two of gas for the truck.

blah.

i suck

2006-01-04T07:07:00.000-08:00

ok, so i noticed that i really suck at typing when i am typing really really fast.

so, my apologies for not re-reading my post.

ok so i am not really sorry, but that post did have it's share of crap in it.

ok enough, i am done.

where to begin

2006-01-04T04:34:00.000-08:00

so i am back after the break from work today.

first thing..the front door to the building is unlocked and partially open. i have a feeling that the door was open due to the wind, but think of how freaky it is to show up at work and find the front of the building open.

we have an village idiot that forgets to lock the door. how? i am still confused, kind of like i am confused on how someone forgets to add paper to the fucking copier before they leave..

i have little things that get to me. if you don't add paper, you wont get the morning reports, and then that throws everyone off. plus all of the stupid reports have to be kept of xx number of days for stupid ISO.

so now off to call the help, or should i say help less desk and have them fumble around for 20 minutes trying to figure out how to reprint reports here at my branch. all because some idiot last night forgot to add paper.

simple things get me going, or rather simple things that stupid people can not figure out get me going.

plus i forgot my hat today..usually that's not a problem since i cut my hair so short, but i have been letting it grow in due to sheer lazyness. yes it's true...i am lazy.

so now i have that nappy hair that looks like i never brush it, or rather like a farmer that just work up...why a farmer? not sure, just came to my mind.

ah well, i can see this day is gonna be a fun one. (note sarcasam)

it's all over...for now

2006-01-03T08:14:00.000-08:00

it's all done. over and done with.

2006 is here and my coutdown to misery begins again.

christmas was better than I thought, but thanks to my in-law family it was partially ruined..as always.

the begger lady is gone for now, but I look forward to her return one day. hey who knows, maybe a new mercedes will brighten her kids spirits.

amazing amanda...still in my house. i have tried and tried to get that damn doll back in the box, but every morning there it is, asking if I am it's momma....

no i'm your daddy bitch.

ok that was creepy.

new years..oh yeah, asleep at 11:30pm. taped, or should I use the new term of tivo'd the ball dropping so that my 6 year old could watch it. yeah it was different watching the ball drop in broad daylight on a tape the next day. but the little squirt got a kick out of it.

disney here i come..i think. i am looking into a vacation there. actually on the cruise line. anyone been on it?

off from work today, why?? why not. 4 day weekend, and i just felt like it.

i have to see if i can train the dog to go and get me mcdonalds.

add

2005-12-29T04:54:00.000-08:00

i can not think of a good title this morning.

one thing is that the begger lady from a previous post (scroll down you can find it) is now gone.

i guess she got what she needed and now she is all set. funny how they leave after christmas.

so i added a little banner, or actually a bloak over there to the right. it's that new blogmad referral site. now i know i am probably the last to find out about it, since i am kind of internet un-cool. see i don't sit infront of this computer all day long on the net. a job, family, child and a new dog kind of keeps me away.

but anyhow i have added it and it looks to be interesting. i actually like the scheme that they are going with. other referral sites are all clean and neat and proper. these guys/gals seem to have mixed it up a bit and want to be different.

my one complaint for today. ok not one, but you probably wont hear me at work today for the rest....

manhole covers in the road. they seem to be in the middle of the road where you have to drive. not right in the middle but more to where your tires are. if you try to avoid them you look like a olympic skier weaving back and forth...and if don't, well your shocks and tires are gone in a month.

now i know they can't move the sewers, but christ, couldn't they have made the road 4 feet to the left or right??

oh, whatever right?

bagels just got delivered...mmmm....

If it comes alive i'll stomp iT

2005-12-27T11:00:00.000-08:00

i forgot about this thing until today, or actually now.

my daughter got the "Amazing Amanda" doll that was one of the hottest toys this year.

freakin piece of crap. hug me momma it says over and over and over. say my name momma....then my poor daughter is there basically yelling AMANDA!!! the doll repeats itself..say my name momma.

i just about stomped a fucking mud hole in it...

she got a bunch of other stuff that was ok, and some stuff that was awesome. games especially. mostly board games that were the best out of everything.

but if your child or niece has this doll...run.

it just might be the next chucky, or bride of chucky to make a come back!

typical monday

2005-12-27T04:34:00.000-08:00

no wait....it's tuesday.

man i have been saying monday since i woke up, and yesterday I was calling it sunday.

ok, so typical tuesday. ton of work to do after the little time off, and this week will probably drag out and feel longer than a typical 5 day work week. but atleast i have next tuesday off...4 day weekend!

but that will probably fly by.

so this week will drag on, my 4 day weekend will fly by, and...well...nothing.

i wish mcdonald's delivered...

.....

2005-12-23T04:45:00.000-08:00

So I just noticed today on bloggers main page that the "O" has a santa hat on it...

anyway, my real reason for writing is those people who beg for money. there is this lady on one of the street corners here with a sign that reads "need money for family, happy holidays"

um, work? she stands there 3 to 4 hours a day in the freezing cold waiting for someone to give her money. i guess i should have told her that if she really needs money she could walk her ass to the closest Labor Ready work station and they would find her a job that day...and pay her that day.

but nope that would be the hard way to actually do something. it's easier to beg and look like an ass than to actually go to work and make some fucking money.

i really do wish that i had a picture of her. we are not in the city, close but closer to a "rich" area. so i can imagine what she is thinking. but still day after day cars drive right by her, not stopping except for the red light that forces them to.

one guy stopped and she just about snatched the money from his hands like a hungry dog that didn't get fed for days. the guy snatched the money back and looked to be scolding her. she turned away and just stood there beggin for money. it looked like he talked to her for a bit, asking questions to which she just stood there.

if that was me...yeah, no money honey. i would always have thought that if i was to beg or had to i would try to be nice and kind and look like i really needed it. i mean her winter jacket looks to be a few years old (i have one that's about 5 years old), shoes seem to be about two to three (oh look, my shoes are 4 years old) hair is done and colored (you can tell by the roots..pointed out by my wife) and she has her purse strapped to her that looks to be in good condition (which that could be from lack of use).

so my point is, if you need money there are plenty of places that will hire you. and i am sure if you are good at it (no not sex) you can convince a store owner to pay you in cash for a days work. plus there are job places that will out you into a job the same day you drag your lazy ass in there and pay you on the spot....oh, plus they will drive you to the job and bring you back.

damn, wish i had that.

is it over??

2005-12-22T12:15:00.000-08:00

christ man when is this week over??

it always seems to take for ever when you have a long weekend coming up. three days for me, still have to work friday.

same goes for next week, but i am turning it into a 4 day weekend. i decided that i would take the tuesday after the 1st off.

shopping....is it over as well? i still need to get a few small things fro the wife from our daughter.

ok, really...i have nothing to say.

nothing.

dog

2005-12-21T09:35:00.000-08:00

ok, so he is home....you know I need to post a picture of him..

good freakin dog. listens, obeys, and knows when to go out.

i think i'll put my kid up for adoption....he he.

anyway the dog is home and doing well.

i am swamped at work today. plus holiday shopping, blah...............

do you hate it?

2005-12-20T04:35:00.000-08:00

do you, or did you, or have you become so frustrated with the holidays that you wish they were over?

between gift buying, family gatherings, and really, REALLY stupid people out there, the holidays are getting to be a big pain in the ass.

a co-worker here is a jehova. does not celebrate any holidays. now at this time that seems like a good idea to me, but it would be touoght to do. i have a 6 year old and holidays are a great time to her. she lights right up and loves every second of it.

i just wish every one else did. every one is so damn moody and pissy about nothing. take my in-laws.

they live, well let's see, 30 seconds from us. you can practicaly see each others house, but from the time that we have moved in to our house they have been by, twice. they drive by almost everyday and do not stop. our child is their only grandchild, and she is it basically. do you think they have any such involvment? nope.

and when it comes to them, if you don't see them at their house, well too bad for you. so i have stopped going. and when they ask where we have been, "at our house".

family is tricky. especially when they are all self centered, and think of themselves and only themselves. see it makes buying a gift tought. one, they want candle warmers and stuff from pier one...umm, did you happen to see my bank account? and when did you stike it rich to want to good stuff? plus all they do is bitch about the holiday and how much of a pain in the ass it is.

then stay home...

i have wanted to move out of ny for a long time. i had the chance but the wife did not want to go, due to being pregnant. ok, ok, she was right about staying for that but nothing else. after this holiday time and what has been gonig on with them i am almost out.

i have convinced her to move and we are waiting on details from my work. south carolina looks to be my new destination. it probably wont happen for a long time, but it will.

no it wont solve the bs of them still being grouches, and selfish people. but atleast i wont have to deal with it every single day.

weekend

2005-12-19T17:36:00.000-08:00

i don't post on the weekend. not for any other reason than i am busy with my family.

this weekend was no different. adopted a dog this weekend.

ben, that is his name. about 1-1/2 yrs old, white male, collie/retreiver mix. nice looking dog and very well behavied. last dog we had was a monster. it attacked my daughter over and over and finally we gave it away to a home that had older kids and a ton of room.

plus i got a camera. kodak C330. it has a movie feature that I have been wanting for a long time.

got it for a good deal, and hell i seem to get my x-mas presents early all of the time.

oh, and shopping. what a fucking adventure that is. are people really that stupid?

yes, i know they are, but it is hard to imagine that they really are that dumb.

more later, i have ice cream to eat.

friday

2005-12-16T07:39:00.000-08:00

friday...finally.

i think taco bell will be lunch today. not sure, but i have a feeling i will be traveling there today.

but you know...a grilled sub would be good.

ok, so here we go again. again that is for the snow, and ny drivers. how can one live in the northeast or just the north and not be ready for snow. there were three overturned cars this morning on the highway...THREE!!??!

It's snowing asshole!! there are so many people out there that can not comprehend that the ground might, might be slippery. not sure, but when it hits under 32 degrees and it is raining/snowing, things might be a tad slippery.

hmm, strange....

so yep, three cars this morning and i think there were three last night. HA! i actually get amusement out of it.

i always thought my dad was full of crap for telling me to slow down in bad weather.

guess he was right.

bad day

2005-12-15T08:13:00.000-08:00

grumbly...is that a word??

anyway i am having a day, a bad one in fact.

nothing is going good for me today. yes...poor..poor...poor, me.

i know no one cares and why am i typing with no capitals..

because i don't care. i actually like how it looks in all lower cases.

so, x-mas shopping.

umm, yeah. i need money. we did happen to get The Amazing Amanda Doll for the half pint, oh plus a mp3 player. Not an ipod, i have that, but a inexpensive one for her that she can put a bunch of songs on (i think 80).

but the fn part starts this weekend. we have to get stuff for my niece's....

i am not in the mood to travel to the mall, fight with the bitchy people in line, and not find anything that i want.

You?

schools

2005-12-14T05:10:00.000-08:00

my wife works for a school. not as a teacher, but as the ever so popular lunch lady!

But I hear different stories all the time about the kids, teachers and others that float around that school all day long. I am very surprised at the fact that the teachers are so rude and pushy.

She tells me stories of them coming into the lunch room and basically pushing kids out of their way to get to the front of the line to eat. Now I see why the kids do it to each other.

So she tells me that she just waits until all the kids get their lunches that he pushed out of his/her way. Kind of funny to hear her do that. Why should they be so freakin special?

but again, then the kids are worse. None have any social skills, manners or any thing like that at all. they are rude, pushy and just down right stupid. I have never heard or seen so many kids that lack any skills to make it in life, but then I guess when your families income reaches over $500,000 (and that's the low end) you could really give a crap about anything.

I think back to when I was in school (not that long ago)and how I was along with others that I went to school with. Big difference, no one really cares any longer.

Most of the kids that I am talking about are gonna get a hard wake up call once they leave college and the bills are there. Your friends all move on, get married, have kids (which that really scares off friends) and get jobs. It will be interesting to see what the smart mouth idiots of today can accomplish tomorrow.

My luck, they'll be taking care of me in some damn nursing home.

how did that feel??

2005-12-13T04:30:00.000-08:00

I am interested to find out if the damn needle that pierced his skin hurt or not. I almost wish that it took them three or four tries to get it right, but I know that with all of the left winged lawyers standing outside waiting for a reason to sue that they got it right.

What am I talking about?

Convicted killer Williams put to death in Calif.
Former gang member's appeals, requests for clemency fail

Good for Arnold, I am glad that he went thru with it. This freakin guy is crying a sob story (or at least all of the stupid supporters were) about how he is good now...Hmmm, should have thought of that before you went out and killed four people when you were the tough guy running a gang. I would have loved to been there to insert the needle.

But again, I guess in the freakin country you have to be correct. Fuck that, why?

We had to be nice to a reformed gang member. A huge gang that has caused many problems for a lot of people to this day? Yeah he may not be in it anymore, but he was the start of the problem. Plus there are no signs of remorse for his killings.

they shout have shot him, one freaking bullet in the head...No, too quick.

I bet he never thought about the victims when he was killing them.

Good bye, good riddance.

where did it go?

2005-12-12T05:09:00.000-08:00

so I was watching a bit of tv last night with my wife, and I had to know. Where in the heck did the show go? It was surrounded with so many commercials it almost made me forget what I was watching.

A 30 minute show seems to have 20 minutes of commercials.

It seems to get worse and worse as time goes on and noone seems to do anything about it. Yeah I know they have to make money, but what the hell! I pay for the damn tv, it's not given to me. 15 to 20 minutes of commercials is not right.

I do wish there was a way to show them, but if I was to turn off my tv there would be someone else to take my place. You know it kind of like gasoline. If everyone didn't get it, or didn't pay their tv bill, what would they do?

Can you imagine if Dish, Direct TV and all the other cable companies did not get a payment for months.. Kind of funny to think about.

but I do like my tv, and I guess I can TiVo more shows so the FF button will become a greater value to me.

Just sucks having to do that to watch one show.

real or fake

2005-12-09T11:52:00.000-08:00

ok so the option to ask for pictures of fake boobs has crossed my mind but I am actually looking for opinions on fireplaces.

We had one of those fireplace cleaners/inspectors come to the house today to let us know if our 100 year old fireplace could be used.

Well it can be, but only after a few improvements. Seems that the hot water hearter and furnace is ventilated thru the fireplace, and the gas is basically becoming a liquid at thetop before it escapes. So that has caused expansion and contraction over the winter/summer months that has caused brick damage.

So I thought about a gas insert. But I have a feeling that a trip to Home Depot will answer all my questions. Hopefully.

Anyone ever had troubles/experiences with things like this?

fire tomorrow...hopefully

2005-12-08T04:41:00.000-08:00

tomorrow morning, 7am, I will be waiting on the chimney guy. Hopefully he will find my house and be able to clean out my fireplace.

You see, it's been about 35 years since anyone cleaned/used the fireplace in my house. We took a look at it and yep, it's dirty.

So I'll be about $89 lighter and hopefully a little bit warmer. Well I do have heat in the house, but I do like a good fire. There's probably a freakin birds nest in the damn thing, and other animals living there.

That would be my luck.

do they know

2005-12-07T04:58:00.000-08:00

How many of you out there have someone else that you are either married to, or live with that do not know about your blog.

Like for example, my wife does not know about this here. For no real reason other than I have not told her. There is nothing of real value that she doesn't already know about, but there are times where I need to vent and she doesn't need to read it.

She used to read my blog (by the way, I hate the term blog) but that was when I was more vocal about the war and the idiots in america. Probably will be once again, but I have lost a certian drive to really give a crap about anything anylonger.

This country is fucked up, and so is the world.

But that is another day.

So just interested to see who is kind if hiding something and why....

South or North

2005-12-06T07:37:00.000-08:00

That would be as in Carolina. Or maybe Georgia. I have a feeling that I am looking towards North Carolina. My job may have openings in any one of those states that I could go to.

Not sure what to do. First I have to sell my house that I just bought 7 months ago. Second, my daughter has to finish 1st grade before I move. Third, well nothing. Just move.

They will move me, but want something signed to make sure that I am not gonna use them to move south. Fine, but I want a guarantee that they wont cut me loose once I am there and then hold the non-compete over my head....I need a contract that will pay me if they let me go.

Who kows..I am not even that up on the economy of the areas and the cities and what is around them. Plus I am not sure where the branch locations are. But it sure would be nice to get out of NY.

My wife is almost ready to go. Her only draw back to not leave would be her father. He has MS. But she wants out of NY like I do, plus we can travel and I have to do what is the best for me and my family.

difference

2005-12-05T05:18:00.000-08:00

Man what a difference in two cities. not that I don't already know that about where I was, but for the whole snow factor it was surprising.

Rochester = hardly any snow

Syracuse = ton of snow

Good thing that I had my truck for the little trip. When we left the wedding it looked as if the streets had not been plowed. And in talking with my wife I guess they are never plowed.

But that was that and here we are again on Monday morning.

Ever get into a discussion with your wife/huband/fried/partner...Oh crap who ever, but one where they seem to miss the point..

It all starts with me and lunches. I enjoy a sub once a week. Somethng different, and that is usually the only time I go out to eat when I am working. But for some reason my wife can not understand why I have to eat out once a week. That is too much for her.

So last night we were trying to figure out what to eat....yes the age old problem of no food in the house, or rather none that you want to eat. So we get to my food for lunches. You know, frozen meals and other crap like that.

Well these meals sucked in a big way. And I just calmly told her that, how can you blame me for not wanting to eat this shit everyday....(she woks for the school in the lunch room and they have a ton of good food. Salad bar, wraps, pizza, shrimp poppers..and it's free for her!)

Well, the point of my food is basically crap, and all i want is something good once a week went right over her head in a big way. She got all pissy and told me ....Fine, then throw them away!

So I grabbed her food and threw it away!

damn employees

2005-12-01T10:24:00.000-08:00

really nothing bad, but the fact that now they have gotten a backstreet boys song in to my freakin head.....Grrrr...

I feel like bashing my head into a wall until I black out, or I could just turn on the radio.

Hmmm, hang on a second............

much better.

Ok so today (12/1) is my friday, yes it's only thursday, but no work for me tomorrow. I am off. Off to a wedding in Syracuse that is, and it's gonna snow.

You know I did have something to talk about today. Seriously, no really. But now I suck. Shit can't remember it....

Still nothing good from the car dealerships, but is there ever? Has anyone ever gotten a good deal, or went in to get a car and just bought one for what you wanted?

Yeah, didn't think so.

2005-11-30T04:58:00.000-08:00

I hate having nothing to say. oh, sure i have a lot to run my mouth about, but nothing good. Boring drab raining day. here I am at work once again. You know that whole rutine thing that we are stuck in. Wake up at 5:45, roll out of bed, get dressed, leave for work. In between those things I do others, but once again all that are really boring to you.

The day around here really begins at 8:30 or so. I work in sales. Not car sales (used to) but I am in an office at a desk answering phones and basically taking orders. though I prefer not to be called an order taker.

So the phone rings all day long, people looking for their stuff, placing new orders, trying to get better pricing, and every once in a while there is an ass on the other line complaining about a .10 cent o-ring that is missing. usually the problem fixes itself due to the fact that the dope forgot to look down on the floor. But, I have to act like I care and tell him everything will be alright.

Then lunch....Usually at my desk answering phones.

then 5pm. Gone for the night.

Yeah i know it's anyones typical day, nothing really stressing or dangerous but it's the job. the boring old job. I hopefully plan on starting my own company soon. Actually when it is spring again here in the north east.

So that's my nothing to say post. I usually have a problem with typing on and on like I just did. This was supposed to be only 1 or 2 lines...oh well, who cares. right?

Rough Nite

2005-11-29T04:53:00.000-08:00

Mainly that title would be good if I had gone out drinking or had a wild and crazy sex party...but I didn't.

Nope, 4am today. That was my wake up call from my daughter. Poor thing, she was having a dream that her blanket was eating her. Imagine the fun I had getting her back to sleep.

But good old dad came in and inspected the room for monsters and had a good talking with the blanket to make sure we had an understanding with each other not to eat anyone. She thanked me (which is alway nice) and off I went.

By that time it was 5am. Alarm came mighty fast this morning. So today should be an interesting day of sleepyness and anger issues.

Oh, and my radio got switched to the "All Christmas Music until the end of the year" station.

That was fun to wake up to.
