Just rants!

1st) Mother Nature, will you please get your head out of your ass or out from in between father time's crotch? Its the ass end of April, I have my heater on in the house and there was ice on my windshield yesterday morning. Figure it out please!!!

2nd) My radio failed me yesterday and today. First off the station I listen to, stopped piping in the dj's that are on in the am since its "DERBY" week. (Yeah leave it to a state full of rednecks and hill billies to turn a 2 minute horse race into a 2 week long celebration.) So now I had to listen to 2 idiots trying to figure out ways to sneak alcohol into this event. (switch stations) Bob and Tom! Yeah they are always good for a laugh, nope local dj's talking about the horse race. =P

3rd) I'm not a doctor nor do I play 1 on tv, so why the hell am I expected to go visit my ailing father everyday as if I can take his kidney stone away? At the moment I'm the asshole son that wont visit. I stop by once a week, I figure that's enough? Not as if though I can do anything for him.

Ehhh! Going hiking tomorrow, hope to find a nice sunny quiet trail and meditate for at least an hour. Maybe find some inner peace.

First Date

Well, had a first date today. Cooked chicken breast in olive oil with italian spices. Also made steamed veggies with pasta in a cheese sauce, and fresh baked bread. Ended the meal with a triple chocolate cake, topped with white chocolate shavings. Had a nice red wine with it to finish the meal off.

Sadly the rain never let off, so no walk by the river afterward. =( But I figure its a start, allowed for more conversation and the watching of 2 movies. It was a great start I think. She agreed to going out again. ^.^

Two things that made me laugh outloud today. Enjoy!

Well the first is todays Dilbert comic strip, I must say I wasn't the only one to let a chuckle. As for the second, it was given to me today in a belated birthday card. It stated how upset the sender was that I missed out on my birthday cake at the poker party I didn't attend Saturday. (Hmmm, spend time with nieces I hardly get to see or get drunk with folks I see every other weekend?) They went on to say that they at least cut out my horoscope on the day of my birthday. LOL! Why I do not know. But anyway, as soon as I read it and remembered what I did on my birthday I had to laugh at how fitting the scope was. Now is it from my birthday or just some random pick? Not sure, most likely the horoscope found in the paper laying around as they were thinking of sending me the card. Either way I got a good laugh. Hope you do too.

P.S.
Can't say I was intimidated, was actually looking forward to going all the way to the top of the Space Needle. ~.^

Grrr!

Ok, not certain what gives here, but it seems now that pics are only allowed at a very small size.=( Case in point, my new vacation pic. It wont let me make it any bigger for folks to enjoy.

Any advise on how to change this from any readers out there?

Good Feeling

I got a very nice compliment today. ^.^

A friend was walking by my station today and said " You lose anymore weight a simple breeze will blow you away."

Yeah I liked it! The skinny jeans of a few posts back now start sliding down if I am not wearing my belt. But happily, I just had 3 extra holes put on it during my visit to Pike Street Market, and alrdy I need at least 2 more holes. Or go buy a new one.


YAY ME!

Inspirational Quote of the day

"The inner thought coming from the heart represents the real motives and desires.
These are the cause of action."

(Raymond Holliwell)


Hmm,guess I'm stumped, not finding the inspiration in this.

Guess the Movie

Ok, 3 powerful quotes from a great movie;

"I have nothing to offer, no pride, no dignity, I don't even know how we'll make a living. But I promise you this, I'll love you for the rest of your life"

"He's not doing this for revenge. He's here for the reckoning!"

last, first of the 3 in the movie, and my favorite,

"I'm your huckleberry!"

can you guess the movie?


P.S
Someone that once told me they loved me loved the last quote and the movie, pleasant memory. ^.^

Blood Moon

Driving around, enjoying the brisk breeze coming in my window mixed with the warmth of truck's heater. I look up to my surprise, its barely 11:45 and the moon is well off on its journey west bound. Made me wish I had my big camera, because its the first for me. A "Blood Moon", it was a 1/4 moon and it looked blood red and was very low, nearly missed it. Would have made for a great picture.

Craving cookies

Not sure why, but I'm craving snickerdoodles,lol. Never had any before, have seen them at the stores before but never had any in my years alive. =(

Sad isn't it? Guess I'll go another day without tasting them, its raining out.

Seniority in a union shop

HAHA! A bolsterous joyfull laugh escapes me, unexpectedly.
( A beautiful memory brought forth, a smile comes over my face.)

Exit, stage right, 100 yards to the door, another 50 to my truck.
Gone till I get the call that I'm needed again.
Tired of the bullshit that is my work, so much of it that even my
robots are tired of it.

So tired of it that they both lay down simultaneously without any
alarms blaring nor lights flashing.

Slow start

Ok, I actually got 7 hours of sleep, lol, the most I've gotten in awhile. But my body not accustomed to so much sleep that I'm moving slowly this am.

Music of choice to help me wake? ROFLMAO! My power emo group, The Cranberries-Zombie, from the cd No Need To Argue.


"In your head, In your head!! Zombie!! Zombie!!"

HAHA!Great beat!

Great movies

Ok to all my potential readers, if you want to see 2 great movies, do I have a good pair.
First we'll go with the older of the two; Man on Fire, starring Denzel Washington. Great action, and great storyline. Getting revenge on those that did wrong to to him but to a lil innocent girl.

Next is 1 that just hit the dvd shelves not to long ago ; Law Abiding Citizen.
Starring Jamie Foxx and Gerard butler. For the ladies it has 2 leading men females like. (barf)
For the movie lover in us all, it has a solid storyline. Like Man on Fire, Gerard wants revenge on those who wronged him. But the twist to this is, that he not only goes after the bad guys, he goes after the legal system that allowed them to go free.

Watch them both, great story and great action!

Weird day, and it has yet to start

Its my niece's confirmation today. She made sure to invite as soon as she found out the date. Lol, I guess its here extremely kind and thoughtful way of saying she still wants me as her Tio. Its a good feeling, knowing she and her sister don't hate me.

Its a great feeling! Hooping this will be a nice turn around for me, a stop focusing on the bad in my life, to the start enjoying the lil joys life has to offer.

Figure yesterday is gone, nothing I can do to change it, tomorrow has yet to arrive, so live for today and hope for the best!

Oh, as for you my friend, yes I do consider you my friend! You know more about me then anyone else in this world, and I trust you 100%. I hope you trust me to not be an idiotic fool. Oh, and ty for the pointiers on Z. ~.^ *great big hugs!*

Simple Math & a Meloncholy Day

Ok if ever any of my reader/s have wondered why I zone out after awhile in game, its simple really, I'm tired. That is why when I received my last massage I was making slight joyful sounds, because it just really felt great!

My average day starts at 5 am est., or at least I'm supposed to get up at that time. I usually hit the snooze to much and have jump up and out. But at work my job is to build a minimum of 200 parts, each weighing in at 65 lbs. Simple math says that's not alot of weight, 65 x 200 = 13,000 lbs lifted in 8 hours. ( I do it in 7 so I can leave early. ~.^ )

Here is were it gets tricky, I first have to fill my stock, guy before me leaves me completely empty. So instead of stocking for 200 parts I have to stock for roughly 300 parts. Then before I can start the count on my parts I have to fill the system back up so that's an additional 15 more. Now the fun begins.

Ok now I get to start counting my parts, because I have to unload them as well. So what started out as 13,000 lbs now gets tripled, because I stock the parts, load & build the parts, then I have to unload them off a hanging conveyor onto a parts rack. So now my 13,000 lb day goes to 39,000 lb day in 7 hours. ( damn I'm getting tired just thinking about it) On top of all that I also have to move the full racks around, but I wont even bother trying to figure the weight on those monstrosities.

Hope you enjoyed my math lesson. ~.^


Melon day, pffffffffffffffffffffffffft!!!!!!!!!!.

My day started off pretty good, got up early, chatted with my Kiwi friend, the one that's invited me to go visit. Got into work with time to spare even. Then around 8 am my head started going everywhere, my mood changed and I started looking for the exit! Funny thing is I wasn't the only one looking, acting and feeling this way. A few folks I talk with everyday were in the same funk, tons on their minds.

So at 9:20 my partner and I had set up 80 parts each so I bolted! Thoughts of not returning were racing through my head and sending the signal to my legs. I took off went and grabed some breakfast and the morning paper at a local corner mart, and yes I returned to work. No one that could get me into trouble noticed my absence, so I was good to go. With a satisfied tummy and caffeine to keep me rolling I did just that.

Was running on my station, built 200 parts in 6 hours. ( woohoo, gimme 5 up high, down low, to slow! rofl, ~.^ ) My reward from my super for this feat? I got moved over to help t-bone build-up since I had already finished my quota for the day, GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!


( Side note; just seconds before I bolted for the front door in the am a friend was walking by and snapped a pic of me, she put in the caption, " I hope you never get this pissed off at me!" I forwarded it to myself with the exact words that came to my mind at that time. But after getting to calm down, run some errands and get home and sit for a few, I read it again. I deleted the picture because, it was not a good pic, the look I had, you'ld think I was ready to kill someone. =( As for the words that accompanied the pic? Well as I was reading them here at home 2 things struck me about them. For one, they were in a context very much like something I just read and did not want that sweet person thinking I was copying them. Oh, yeah, the second thing that struck me was, that as I was reading it, I swear I could here the bitnick soundings of bongos in the background as if I were in a smokey poetry cafe putting out my angry words for all to clap at.

Hahaha! So yeah I deleted it too. =)
