Other Blogs, pt. Deux--didn't know if the first one was posted.

From time to time I publish on other blogs that I have. This other one I use as "therapy" for dealing with my day to day bullshit. I really have a hard time dealing with some things and I can't put them on this blog, so I came up with this other one. I'm not going to link it, but it is my profile. I admit that Life is rough and all you can do is deal with it from day to day. I wish it were otherwise. The only other choice is the "cowards path" and I will not put my family and friends through that. I appreciate any honest and open comments, but please do not comment anonymously. Sometimes I wish that I could be and do everythingthat I want, or should have been able to have done. I may not be posting for a while, as I need to take some time for "myself." Don't worry, I will respond when I have time for others, but for now I need to find myself.
All the love in the world to all of ya'll.

Other Blogs

From time to time, I choose to vent my twisted psyche on another site. This other site that I use is mainly for my "therapy." It helps me try to deal with the day to day shit of MY life. It really hasn't helped me all that much, as of yet. There is hope that one day I may become "sane" again, whatever the hell sanity means these days. I won't link it, but it can be found in my profile. I really don't mind comments in it, but if you do, let me know who you are and leave an valid e-mail so I can respond. Thanks

What to say?

So, I spent the last 2 days off, doing nothing more than cleaning house and organizing my video/dvd collection. Did manage to get another Richard Brautigan book on Thursday, so I read that during my free time. I never realized how quick and easy a read those books were until I got them.

I'm now at work, having to work open to close (which sucks majorly). At least the staff is gone for a few hours so I can get some admin work done. This job pisses me off royally now. It's not so much the job, as it is the people in this town. They don't want you to express your opinion if it differs to theirs. What the Fuck is wrong with these people? I thought that this was a university town and that different opinions were encouraged? I guess not here. Just another reason why I loathe small towns.

Not much else has been happening. I think I scared off the english professor by being too nice. At least I hope I didn't, but you never know. Some women are afraid of someone who is kind, gentle and a genlteman at all times. I made her blush when we went out and all I did was give her a rose. She told me that she's never had anyone give her flowers before. I found that hard to believe, but in a small town like this, no one knows how to be a gentleman anymore. Some women are afriad that if a man is too nice at the beginning, that he'll turn into an asshole later. That's not the case with me. Oh well, the odds of me finding an attractive, intelligent woman here are pretty damn slim. I've met a few, but most of them wouldn't give me the time of day.

That's all for now everyone, I need to act like I'm working.

Pace.

Skool daze

Damn. Now the school year is finally getting into full swing and I'm working my ass off. I thought that I was working hard before--what a frigging joke I told myself. Then again I'm at a school with a low retention rate and a high rate of students on remedial classes. Go figure--most of these kids are functionally illiterate. I feel like a god compared to most of these morons. (Not a major god, but more like "Rob, the god of getting your ass fed".)

Not a whole hell of a lot else has been going on in my life. Love life is still non-existant, but what else is new. I'm trying to figure out a way to get the english prof to go out with me again. We had a blast last time and I think that we could have fun, if we could find some time to get together. Oh well, gotta take it one day at a time.

That's pretty much it for now, so I need to get out of here for now and get back to work. IF anyone has any advice as to what to do--in either situation, let me know.

Peace.

Friggin waa

I really hate incompetent people. I have to deal with a bunch of over glorified idiots for the next 2 days, aka "the board of regents." As soon as I get through this I'll have a few moments of rest, then school starts. Friggin' WHEEEE!

Had a good time on Monday. Yes, I finally got to go out with the English Professor. Had an absolute blast. Going to do this again as soon as we can find some time, again. She really is a unique person and dug what she had to say. Even if she likes that Swayze movie. I can get over it.

That's it for now all, I have a 15+ hour day tomorrow. I get to bartend AND train someone to do it at the same time. Now to see if the BASTARDS will even tip!!!!

Peace.

GGGRRRRRRRR!!!!!

It never fails....
Just when I get plans to go out, my boss get's food poisoning, we get a gig booked last minute and I have to go with the university president out of town. Nothing pisses me off more than having to put things off, or having things thrown at me the last minute.
I finally was able to get some time to go out with the English Professor and all this shit happens to me. What the hell did I do to deserve this?
When the fuck will these people realize that my life DOESN'T revolve around work? I've sacrificed enough of my time this past month and I need some time for myself. Why can't people realize that we need more than a 2 day advance notice to do something. We have to do things like schedule people and order food. Is it me, or are most people on this earth just a bunch of fucking morons? They should be grateful that I'm not armed. The only reason why these people exist, is because it's illegal to shoot them.
It's time for me to rock-n-roll and get out of here for a few hours and pray that these people can handle things without me.

Piece....

Brautigan

Not much going on lately. Had the BIG boys in town on Friday. Pretty uneventful meeting ang then had to work on Saturday. Nothing too memorable going on on that day. Finally read the Brautigan novels I bought the other day. Really good shit. I went through 3 of them yesterday alone. Sitting here at work right now, wondering why the fuck I scheduled myself in today. I guess it's time to go off and re-organize something, after I have my coffee.

Peace!!

I hate microsoft!!!!!!!!!

Let's see, WTF is going on in my life?

I was supposed to finish my video for work today, but damn microsoft won't let me edit MPEG4's on moviemaker. I'm waiting for one of the guys with IT to finish getting them put into MP2 format so I can use them. Then I have to edit and put it all together for viewing pleasure. I've already got part of the narrative together, but I need to get the film edited so I know what I'm going to say. I guess it's my dream to be a second rate Kevin Smith, or at least a hack of a movie director. I'm thinking about doing the editing over a few hard drinks and a carton of smokes. I've got 2 edits I was wanting to do, one legit and the other comical and profane. I was going to show the bad one to my boss and see how he reacted.

Love-life-wise is still non-existant, as per usual. Don't have a clue if I'm going to go to dinner with the hot english prof. She says that we will, but I never get a response to the dates that I throw out there. I guess that I'll never figure out women, then again I think no man can.

Don't know what else to say, so I'll say this.....

Just another day in Hell

Not a whole hell of a lot to say lately. Been working my ass off, trying to get things in order, still, for Fall semester. Have the BIG bosses coming down on Friday the 13th (my favorite day of all). I just hope they bring presents for me, since I celebrate my birthday every time that day rolls around. (Yes, I know, that's a little strange, but I was born on a Friday the 13th, so I'm allowed to be strange!) Normality sucks, I'd rather be strange than "normal."

Got a call from a friend of mine who lives in San Diego the other night. She woke me up out of a perfectly good sleep too. She claims to read the site, maybe she does, maybe she doesn't. Who knows? I can't wait until Summer session is over so I can get a few days of peace and quiet. I'm probably goig to go to Philadelphia sometime in October for a training session for work. I'm trying to arrange to teach a class in Dallas the weekend of October the 10th. This way I can go to see my Steelers whip some Dallas ass. It would be even better if we had a company skybox, so I can teach the class during the game! I have about 4 different cities I have to teach in this semester, so it sould be intresting for me. The life of a manager is never dull.

Finally got my menus done for the fall semester, most everything I have on it includes cheese (that's for you Pisser). I get a lot of whining from the students, so everyday it'll be "Whine and cheese day." Anyhow, that's it from the booming metropolis of Alpine, Texas.

Everyone be good, or at least good at it.

Nada

What to say? Not a whole hell of a lot has been going on lately. Been busy working my ASS off, trying to get things in line for when my BIG bosses show up next week. I still need to shoot most of my staff, get menus finished and a list of shit that the Director just threw at me today. But on the bright side I get to make my schedule for the next week, the downside is that he's taking a mini-vacation next week. I told him all I want off is Thursday and Friday night. We'll see if he remembered.

That's all for now folks.

Peace.
