damn colds!

so i got another cold. sucks. had the flu 2 months ago, week later i got food poisening. now i have a stuffed head and cough alot. normally i get sick about once a year. i dont know what the hell is happening.

did you ever notice that you have messed up dreams when you have a cold? i had one about this girl i know. weird stuff. nothing dirty. just weird. i would prefer dirty. i dont know what it is, but when i have a cold i have really vivid dreams that i can remember. not sure if i like that.

indiana jones trilogy is back on today. maybe ill try to catch last crusade since i went out last night and missed it. i got pretty loaded last night. i think that was the theme of the night, become a wasted pile of crap. i think everyone at the bar was shitfaced come closing time. usually only a few are shitty, the rest are just a bit buzzed. i think the pull tab lady and the head cook have a crush on me, they seem to gravitate towards me all the time. thankfully i end up having some cute girl i know come up and talk to me towards the end of the night and they end up stepping off. gets a little awkward when you dont like them at all like that but you can tell they like you. usually stare at you with the deer in headlights kind of look. wouldnt be so bad if they were at least a little attractive. whatever. ego boost either way.

i got up around 8 am this morning (not bad considering i didnt go to sleep till 3:30). didnt have a hangover. loves me the vodka. i never get hangovers from that stuff. nine vodka redbulls, 3 beers and 2 jag bombs (back to back bombers. yeesh) and i slept like a rock. shitty thing is that when i wake up that early i want to play some halo. nobody is online that early on sundays. sucks.

deadliest catch is well into its 4th season. i love that fucking show. my two favorites are the northwestern and the time bandit. the captains are cool as shit. i wouldnt mind working for guys like that. kinda a tough love type of boss. i missed last weeks show but they usually replay them on sundays. ill have to try to catch it tonight. if you havent seen this show, first, climb out from under that rock, second, watch it. you will love it. awesome show. one of the few reality shows that are actual reality. kinda half excited about the game coming out. i know its not going to be a great game. but if its at least kinda fun and has some decent length i may consider getting it. ill wait for the metascore on that one.

well, thats that for that.

so its been awhile

i havent blogged in about 9 months. guess i just didnt feel like it. so ill put another one up here just for the hell of it.

work: its been a bit slower then usual. you can really tell the economy is on a slow down. its kinda nice though, it used to be where i was running my ass off just to try and keep up, now its slow enough to where i can take my time and get things just right. im over that hump to where i hate my job. ive been here long enough to know most everything i need to know. everything else i can figure out. no real interesting stories as of late. just the run of the mill type stuff.

life: its been good. nothing to spectacular going on. its gonna be my 30th next month. my friends are planning a party for me. should be a good time. its on a saturday so im sure everyone will be pretty messed up by the end of the night. minnesota and wisconsin people drinking together. should be a blast.

friends: a few new babies and some on the way. makes me feel young watching all my friends raise kids and me not have any. someday ill have one or two. but now im just having way to much fun being single and not having and parental responsibilities.

by the way. to anyone who is reading this, the indiana jones trilogy is playing on sci-fi channel tonight. about 1/4 of the way into temple of doom.

football: getting ready for the big season. this is a make or break year for the vikings. we have a hell of a team so far this year. with t-jack having one year under him and some decent recievers maybe we can make a go at the big game. we have a huge offensive and defensive line this year. as long as they stay healthy i think everything else will fall into place. peterson will have a huge season i think. this will be the team to watch this year.

baseball: twins are plugging right along. second place right now. still early in the season and they usually end the season really strong. should be fun to watch.

temperature: thank christ we finally have decent weather. we would have one nice day and 5 shitty cold ones. its been nice lately. spring temps are great here. summer gets a little humid.

sorry about the boring blog. ill have better stuff next time.

you are my fantasy

so im now 2-0 in fantasy football. this may be the second week i have gotten both the head to head win and the overall leader in points. thank you vikings defense! 29 last week, 20 this week. to bad we lost today to the lions though. but it was a hell of a game. really crazy how many turnovers. 10 combined. 3 int's and 2 fumble recoveries for the vikes d. and one of the fumbles were returned for a td. 2 frickin int's by sharper. thank you green bay for giving us your defense!

and everyone gave me shit for picking the vikings d instead of some other teams. i know they will be good. hell, its the only chance outside adrian peterson the vikes have of winning this season. unless tarvarious steps up. he is looking a little better week by week. i think he may do ok. and i like that he isnt using his feet to win for us. he owns that talent. that wont leave him for a few more seasons. he needs to learn to read defenses and throw the ball to the right guy. of course it would help if we didnt have stone hand recievers. i fucking hate our recievers. garbage players.

other then that i had a pretty decent weekend. my brother in law had an open house for his custom bike shop saturday. so i went and helped with that. good time. free food. then i got free tickets to a red bull promotional party. pretty cool. real rave like. sweet though. lots of hot chicks. and lots of people i knew. good time for some free booze. course i couldnt fall asleep till 5 am. thats ok. got up in time to watch the noon game and then the vikes. helped out a buddy move into his new place, and now im back here. typing on my computer and watching my fantasy stats continually rise. i just hope that the new england/san diego game has a ton of points. i have brady and l.t.

and i still have a tight end for washington to play tomorrow. so i can hope for about 3 points out of him. yeah, 3 points. i hate t.e.'s for fantasy points. they are so few and far between.

bring back shannon sharpe!

whoops!

so yeah. i was at work today, and to anyone who doesnt know, i install doors and door hardware. wood and steel doors, steel frames.

well...i had to cut in something into a frame and a college here in town. so i mark up what i need to cut out, drill a couple holes, and realize that i need to cover the smoke alarms so i dont set them off. usually the places i go to have covers for me to use. but this place didnt. so i had to use a rubber glove. well.....when you stretch a rubber glove sometimes it snaps. and sometimes your not ready for it. i hit my hand on the smoke alarm and set it off.

not just one smoke alarm mind you. all of them. in both the connected buildings. and the one next to it. so i had about 200 pissed off college kids across the street from me, pissed off because they were in their dorms. not class. and i didnt know what to do, i called the guy ive been dealing with about 4 times. didnt answer. called 911 and had them tell the firefighters that it was a false alarm. so only one fire truck showed up. and one cop. but thats ok. i didnt need anymore to feel like a complete jackass.

my only thing i can cling to is, everyone who is in this line of work has done this. so i guess i broke my cherry!

still sucks.

a win it is!

so the vikings kicked some falcon ass today. everyone looked decent on offense and the d looked amazing. great game to go to for my first time.

started off by leaving last night at about 8:30 pm to go from 2 and a half hour drive to the twin cities. we stay at my buddy's parents new house because they were out of town for the weekend. fucking amazing house! 2 million dollar house. brand spank me new. everything was wood and looked very antique. awesome house. one of the people who came with us brought a couple bottles of red wine. not really a fan of wine, but it was free. we proceded to drink those two and 5 white wines his parents had. plus about 18 beers. thats between four of us. kinda drunk. i went to bed around 5 a.m. before everyone else. i was up at 10 am. felt like someone kicked my ass. we all got ready and decided to take my friends parents new lexus to the game. first words out of his mouth was "im gonna beat this thing within an inch of its life". dont ask me why. thats just how he is. good guy, just kinda a bone-head. beat it he did. flew down the highway at about 100mph. then we find a half parking spot that if we could fit in, we could park for free. three of us get out of the car to help him park it, and so we arent trapped inside the car when he does park it. well......5 seconds later, CRUNCH! screaming "STOP" apparently does nothing when this kid is driving. yep. a 70,000 dollar car now has a jeep liberty bumper buried into its side. my stomach sank. i thought my driver friend would be pissed. he said "oh, well" and we left. stupid. stupid, stupid, stupid. then we find another spot by the dome, but we have to park on a curb. so he pulls up to the curb, front wheels are ok. back end scrapes along the cement curb like a giant fork on a chalkboard. he didnt care. meanwhile im in the backseat with my face buried in my hands shaking head thinking his dad is going to kill him.

anyway, we get there. watch the ass-whooping they gave the falcons, and left for his parents again. for some reason he had to jump another curb to get into the right lane. scrapes again. "ok retard, thats enough of ruining your dads car". "dude, he wont care". "oh, yeah, ok. its only a new car"

we get back to his parents, wipe off the dust that looked like a huge scratch on the door, and all that was left was two tiny unnoticeable dents. bottom of the car is fine to. you lucky son of a bitch. his parents get back, they have no idea. they walk me around the house and show me everything. didnt care we drank half of the booze in the house.

WTF!? why cant i be rich to?

its a beautiful day

so i start my day off by sleeping in till 1. 10 hours of sleep is alot for me. then i go get some burger king and play some halo for a few hours.

i go over to my friends house later and have a barbeque and drink a few beers. we play some 360 and decide to go out. so we go out, get a few shots for free(like 3 each) and go to an after-bar party. only one person was there. fun. but thats ok. 3 of us, 1 of him. we had a ping pong ball tourney. i came in second.

moral of the story is, have fun on your days off. and get drunk/high/lazy/motivated on your days off. they are the few things in this world that you earn and you can actually enjoy.

other morals of the day:

dont piss in the wind

never marry a girl who kisses like a stripper

never make a important decision when you have a hard-on

and thats the rest of the story.

good day!

thou shalt huddle

man am i excited! my friends dad is going out of town for work this weekend and guess what that means? i get to go to a vikings game with his season tickets! wooooooooo-hoooooo!!!!! i have never been to a pro football game. been to a couple twins games. that was awesome. sat above kirby puckett. r.i.p. kirb. anyway, we are going to leave saturday night to stay at his house so we dont have to leave at 8 a.m. should be a great time. i cant wait.

good weekend i hope. should help after another crazy week at work. had to haul about 300 pounds of equipment up 4 flights of stairs. then down a flight, and another after i finished that one. and then another. worked a 12 hour shift today. probubly another 12 tomorrow. should be a good reward for a long week with going to the game.

its all relative

so i spent the weekend helping my dad side his house. big big pain in the ass. the siding came off ok but one side of the house had to be repaired today. piecing crap together was real fun. and hes doing it so low tech it bugs me. i should have brought my work van so i could use a screw gun instead of a hammer and nails. i guess the tough thing is having your father treat you like your still a little kid sometimes when your a grown man with a job that requires you to be handy with tools. oh well. its his house. i just bit my tongue and did what he wanted. next weekend we will side it. that should be a blast considering the house is old as hell (100+ years) and everything is far from square. good experience for me though. ill know how to side a wonky house, next time if a do a square one it will be easy.

my sister and mother are having a word war right now, and i have to get in the middle of it before something gets really bad. i wouldnt get involved if my sister started things. my mom has evil tendencies. my sis just had a new baby 3 months ago so she is under enough stress.

my cousin and my best friend are getting a divorce. my cousin cheated on him. to bad. not fair to him at all. hes a good guy. and a member of this site. on a break though from video games so he can deal with this. things got really bad to. really bad. but things are getting better. and i think its good for him to be able to set the blame on her considering hes taking it so hard. if it was his fault things would just be worse. hes not talking to me now because he says its to hard. i understand. she is my cousin. and i think he was having a difficult time with me not taking sides because of the situation im in with being so close to them both. but he understands that now.

i guess thats about all for the blog for today.

damn klingons!

ok ok. not the star trek kind. the kind that always call you, invite themselves to places with you. show up at your house unexpectedly. and even go so far as to ask if "you would like to go out drinking, they can sober cab you, they will stay sober." i dont know, its happened alot to me with some friends. good guys, but i just dont think they are used to having friends they dont have to constantly impress or suck up to in order to hang out with them. they seem so desperate for friends they will go to any length to get them. i feel bad for them.

i dont like to feel pressured into anything. im not one who deals with people pressuring me well. if i get pushed i push back. good sometimes, bad others. and when friends pressure me to hang out, i get kinda pissed. i dont get mad at them. i just kinda avoid them when i dont want to deal with them.

i think its because i can talk to anyone about anything. most the people who push themselves on other people are lacking in a way the other person excells. i dont know. i just wanted to rant a bit about it. no reason to make those people feel bad. they usually get the hint after awhile then everything gets better.

drawn and quartered

ever get that feeling when your at work? i have about 10 jobs going on at one time right now and its driving me up a wall. i kinda like the fact im busy and i have a bit of freedom to do whichever i please for the most part, but its tough when you have customers calling you expecting you to be there at a certain time and you have to tell them your really sorry but something has come up thats more important for the time being. im also physically going from place to place for the work, so its not like i can juggle all that well. i had to go to a small school for what was supposed to be a quick in and out job this morning, but every single exterior door had to be adjusted in some way. it was like 20 doors. not to quick. aaannnddd, we hired a part time guy to help us other two field guys get jobs done before winter. thing is, hes an older guy, he worked for a contractor for years. he knows his shit, but hes half assed like most contractors are. no offense, but they have a shit load of stuff to do, so they dont really give it the same care we do. i get to the school, where the part timer was earlier this week, and i see the work he did and realized i have to fix it. i understand having to take care of the company, and the companies problems. but this guy is probubly making 10 dollars more an hour then me. not cool if im juggling work and cleaning up after him. and getting paid less to do it. anyway, got that job mostly done, but i had to order some stuff for them so i will go back and finish when the stuff comes in.

i go to a new 911 building and find out that a lock is broken and they need to get into a room, and all i was supposed to do, originally, was a quick job and move on. so i had to break into the room without screwing up the new door. i get a new lock from my van and install that. do the original job and get out.

i go to a college to finish up on a job. i get there and realize there is no fixing it. so i do the best i can, call our salesman with the instructions on what i need. on to the next job.

so i said piss on it. i was 15 minutes away from the end of my day so i went and hung out with my cousin for awhile. worked an extra half hour this morning, so i didnt screw over my work at all. but it still kinda sucked.

then again, nobody else in my company said they were as busy as i was today. so that makes it all better. chalk one up for me.

and my cherry is now broken

this would be my first ever blog. hopefully of many. ive enjoyed reading many of yours, so i thought why the hell not.

i guess random thoughts are supposed to appear on this. i guess now im on the spot ive got not much to say. man i hate that.

anyway, the distorted pic above this you see is my dog, dixie. yes she is a pitbull. and no she is not mean. i never wanted a pit, all my friends had them and they didnt pay enough attention to them to make them behave. i thought i had no use for them. one day my friends came by my work after i was done and picked me up to hang out. they had gotten this little red, sleepy, super cute puppy from another friend who could not keep her. that was not her first owner though. she was given to that person by someone who found her in a dumpster looking for something to eat. someone had put her in a dumpster when she was barely old enough to be away from her mother. poor thing was skin and bones when they found her. nobody could keep her. everyone had some reason to not be able to have a great dog like her. i knew she was a pit. i saw all my friends pits fight eachother all the time and i didnt care for that type of aggressive nature in dogs. i like calm ones.

anyway, i sat down in the back seat of my friends truck and she instantly came to me and laid down on my lap and went to sleep. im a big softy when it comes to animals. grew up on a hobby farm. had everything from chickens and cows to ferrets and parrots. her soft fur, her little puppy breath on my leg. even then she had a little snore. she put on some weight since she got taken from her hobo home. she was now a healthy little puddle of snooze. tiny little puppy with a fat head and big feet. she was really cute. i was living at my parents house with her and some cats, a horse, donkeys, chickens, a goose, and two peacocks. my parents were living at another house so i had to take care of her myself. i got a large pen for her and put a peice of plywood over it so she had some shade other then her dog house. my first day i left her outside all day on a hot day i was worried about her at work. i rushed home to see her laying in front of her pen door like she was dead. i got closer and noticed her hair had went from a chocolate brown to a red and blonde streak look. she was fine. just baking herself in the sun. now she lays belly up in the yard all day when its sunny out. so much so her bald belly gets tanned.

she always was sweet and well behaved. came every time i called her, didnt need to be potty trained. i remember one time when i was sleeping, she was cuddled up next to me in bed. i woke up and was getting ready for work and stepped in a pile of poop. apparently i didnt wake up when she wanted me to so she shit on my floor. i looked at her and said "did you shit on the floor?". she was lying on the bed still stretching and yawning when i said it. as soon as i said it her eyes shot open and she crawled forward and half hid herself under my pillow. how can you be mad at that?

she always got along with the cats. she wanted to play a bit rough with them so i had to regulate that. but she has never hurt a cat. and thats unheard of from alot of pits. the love to attack small animals. just because they run away from them. she is great with kids. she naps with my niece when she comes over to my parents. she goes to my grandparents house with me when i go home and goes directly to the "treat cupboard" and waits for grandma. my whole family loves her. and she loves everyone. great dog.

the thing that sucks is i have an apartment. so i have to keep her with my parents. which is good for her since my mom is retired and home all the time with her. not to mention the other two dogs they have keep her company along with all the other animals. ive missed out on over two years of my dogs life because i dont have a place where i can keep her. i steal her on weekends now and then to have a sleepover. but its always harder to leave then when i drop her off because i say goodbye to my parents and the other dogs, then i say goodbye to her. tell her to be good and take care of mom. and she still follows me to where i have to almost push her back into the door so i can close it in time to leave.

this is going to sound sappy, but she is my best friend. now i know why they say "mans best friend". its true. i used to like cats. but now i dont because i have had my own dog. they are loyal, dependant, and always happy to see you. this sounds bad, but even if hitler had a dog, that dog would love him to no end. well, depending on how he treated it of coarse.

the big issue is that my parents called me a month ago telling me i needed to find a home for her. apparantly insurance companies will not insure your house if you have a pitbull. first of all, thank you to all you thugs and morons out there who dont know how to raise a kid let alone a dog for allowing them to behave poorly. and im sorry to anyone who has something bad happen to them or someone close to them by a pitbull. but dont blame my dog. ten percent is the dog, 70 percent is the owner, and twenty percent is the situation the dog is in. DON'T BUY A PITBULL. they are hell to raise in some ways. the reward can be great, but get a mutt. much less to worry about.

anyway, thank god my grandparents took her for awhile till she can go back home. she now bounces from house to house within the family. she loves it. its like christmas for her every day. treats constantly.

well i could go on forever, but this is a blog, not a novel. just thought i would tell everyone about my dog since she will remain my blog headline.

later.
