If only they were black.......

Today, an old white lady at the market was talking on a speakerphone that she had laid in her basket. Wanted to lean over and tell her that no one wants to listen to your conversation. I should invent punching robots that would be roaming the neighborhoods looking for such blatant acts of assholishness. (<--look it up. It's a word. Trust me. I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express)

Night shifts go fast. This is already my last one. Only had 3 this round though. Off until the 15th after that.

Need to drop off my truck to get A/C fixed. Quoted at around $600. :( That will set me back a couple months yet again. I'll never pay off this credit line... which ironicly is mostly because of the truck. Keep needing to spend money on it. Also need to go to HD to get more drywall mud.

So with all that, I think I'll just stay up instead of going to bed after my night shift, so I can get those things done. Will have to wait till 8 to get to HD, then drop the bucket at home then go bring the truck to mechanic then walk back.

I should start getting more serious about trying to find a way of making more money though. I'm kind of thinking of getting into some kind of trades related work. Something that does not require licensing, like painting or something. Could do jobs here and there on my days off. There's a big demand for people who do plastering too. I should practice at that and try to get good enough to do jobs for others.

THIS IS JUST A RANT!

I DO NOT NEED FITNESS ADVICE!



Back in 97 I was sent to Orlando so I could attend Nuke school and be somebody important.
That failed.
Anyway, they were worried about out health and so we were instructed to jog three miles every morning, in groups. (Theres no standing watch while you are a student.)
I moved from the slow group, to the medium group, to the fast one in a month or so. I was 18 and not in great shape but being young and eating healthy meals helped me improve very quickly.
Some of you may remember a similar phase in your lives.
This morning I tried jogging an 8th of a mile and it damn near killed me. Gonna have to look up that couch to 5k program and execute it faithfully. I'm too old to be getting picked on, and way too young to be fattening up for the End Phase.
If I get skinny I promise to hit the tanning booth and investigate one of those hair restoration clinics.
Beefcake pics will follow, I promise.

Hmmm apparently Home Depot is open right now. I thought they only opened at 9. Wonder if it's seniors only though. I'll wait until at least 8 to be safe. Don't want to be an asshole.

Just downgraded my internet. From 50/30 to 20/15. Going to only save 10 bucks but it adds up I guess... basically going through all my expenses and trying to see which ones I can find a way to reduce. Did my cell a while ago, there's a new service in town that offers $15 plans, though limited to 100 minutes voice, and I had no idea that was not enough, I don't talk much on the phone but guess 100 minutes is not much so I went over. So ended up moving to the unlimited minutes plan for $25. Still cheaper than the $60+ I was paying with the previous provider...

Going to shop around for insurance too, it went up again, $180/mo now from $170.

My expenses kind of creeped up on me in past few months and they now exceed my income so I really need to figure something out. Even these small changes will only last a little while until everything continues to go up again.

That weather we're having is so odd. Tons of random wind bursts and stuff and clouds are moving insane fast. It's actually really hot out too. It felt like it would be a really cold day but it's not. Might go for a walk later, going to need to tie my hair good for this one. :p

Been up for over 24 hours, time for bed!

Shut up!!!

You post too much...
You post too much...
You post too much...
You post too much...

Hey! You over there, I know about your kind
You're like the Independent Network News on Channel 9
Everywhere that you go, no matter where you at
I said you post about this, and you post about that
When the cat took your tongue, I say you took it right back
Your mouth is so big, one bite would kill a Big Mac

You post too much You never shut up
I said you post too much Homeboy you never shut up

You post about people, you don't even know
And you post about places, you NEVER go
You post about your girl, from head to toe
I said your mouth's moving fast, and your brain's moving slow

You post too much You never shut up!!
I said you post too much Homeboy you never shut up

You're the instigator, the orator of the town
You're the worst when you converse, just a big mouth clown
You post when you're awake, I heard you post when you sleep
Has anyone ever told you, that posting is cheap

You post too much You never shut, up!!
I said you post too much Homeboy you never SHUT UP!!!

Posting is the one thing, that you can do best
You told the cavity creeps, to watch out for Crest
You never have the story, right and exact
And then you always try to bore me, with your yakkity yak

You post too much And then you never shut up
I said you post too much Homeboy you never SHUT UP!!!

Everyday you are out fighting someone in the street
And you're always fighting someone you know ya can't beat
Then you wonder how, you got in this mess
Just think of what you said, then take a guess

You post too much You never shut up!
I said you post too much Homeboy you never SHUT UP!!!

You're always spreading rumors, whether bad or good
You're the damn Walter Cronkite of the neighborhood
The Barbara Walters, and the Howard Cosell
You always come around, with a story to tell

You post too much And then you never shut up
I said you post too much Homeboy you never SHUT UP!!!

Said it's everybody's business that you love to mind
And talkin to you, is like dropping a dime
You're spreading the word, like it is your job
You should be a stool pigeon, who works for the mob

You post too much And you never shut up
I said you post too much Homeboy you never shut up!

A big blabbermouth, that's what you are
If you were a talk show host, you'd be a star
I said your mouth is big, size extra large
And when you open it, it's like my garage

You post too much And then you never shut up
I said you post too much Homeboy you never shut up

You always like to gossip, just like a girl
You post so damn much, it's outta this world
When you're reincarnated, in your second life
You won't be a man, you'll be a nagging wife

You post too much Then you never shut up
He said you post too much Homeboy you never SHUT UP!!!

SHUT UP!!!
SHUT UP!!!

Twenty-five hours, eight days a week
Thirteen months outta year, is when you speak
I'm tired of listening to the garbage you talk
Why don't you find a short pier, and take a long walk

You post too much Then you never shut up!
I said you post too much Homeboy you never SHUT UP!!!
You poste too much You could be, out of breath
You post too much Man you naggin me to death
You post too much Tired of hearing you speak
You post too much Eight days a week
You post too much Then you never shut up
I said you post too much Why don't you ever SHUT UP!!!
You post too much Then you never shut up!
I said you post too much Homeboy you never SHUT UP!!!
