Even though I am a self proclaimed sloth I have had at least a part time job since I was 15. Anything that I am doing for money will eventually become (at least sometimes) something that I inherently dislike. Even if I was the oil-boy for the Tropicana Girls Bikini Team the alarm would go off some mornings and I would dread even having to rub down some scantily clad honeys. Jobs to me are just that – JOBS – they are a means to an end. Whatever I can do to make the most amount of money and suffer the least aggravation then that is what I want to do. It opens up more freedom in my personal time where I can enjoy life. In this 2 part series I am going to dig into the past and relive my career job by job and try to pull out some lessons that I still hold on to today. Part one covers everything up until my college graduation… read more »
Birthdays are interesting rituals. It is supposed to be a special day but in reality it doesnt make much sense why we put such an emphasis on that day. I have always thought that is was funny that we celebrate our emergence from our mother’s vagina. I guess it is something that everyone has in common and surviving another year on earth is a pretty impressive feat.
There are times in life where you wonder why you ever waste your time drinking and going out… then your friend makes an ass of themselves and it is all worthwhile. These are a collection of those incidents…
There will be no post on Friday (I know, put away the razor blades and drain the luke-warm water from the tub, I will be back on Monday) because I will be traveling back to my Alma Mater to hang out with some friends. I have not been back in a few years and I didn’t think I would go back for a long time. I am excited to go – even though I am going to feel like an old sack of douche compared to the students (some of which that had been born in the 90’s – *GASP*) Looking back on my previous posts it is obvious that I had been thinking about college in anticipation of this trip and I think another walk down memory lane couldn’t hurt.
In my estimation all women are crazy and all men are bastards.
Sooo… I have been conducting a little experiment with myself for the past few weeks. I took my Dad up on a $100 bet and agreed to lay off the sauce for 30 days. I have about a week left and my sobriety has ranged from a non-issue to a night-ruiner and everywhere in between. I have not written a lab report in about a decade so I figured I would dust off some of my long forgotten skills I picked up in CHEM 101 and get all scientific for a bit.
For this edition of Top Nine Friday I wanted to examine a television show that has been close to my heart ever since I was just a youngster playing with GI Joes and avoiding getting my ass beat by my older brothers. That show is MASH… just kidding, I hate that fucking show. Just hearing the first few notes of the opening song of MASH makes me wish the Korean War never happened, just so that show was never made. Anyways, the show I am really referring to is The Simpsons.
