THINGS GOING SOOOOOOOOOOO WELL!
Holy biatch! I had forgotten to write for the past week. Must be that all is going well, huh? Oh well, here's the latest. . .
Big controversy going on at work. Seems that one of our prime outside salesperson is doing a little bait and switch tactic on my employer. Getting paid multiple times on the same account and same activations. The shit is really going to hit the fan soon. This has been building like a monster for the past week. . .EWWWWWWWWW!!!!
The office has been slow and John (my co-worker) and I have been talking more. The kid cracks me up. He keeps asking if I want to go "go-peding" with him. I feel like we have the best staff in our office in a long time. Ethan was here for 5 fricking years and Rick continually kept his ass afloat. Loaning him money and stuff. So Ethan bails and Rick tells him he's stupid if he does. So what does he do? He decides to be a mortgage loan officer. HA HA HA HA. Guess what happens after he takes the job?? Rates fall off the table. . . .bad choice my friend. So what is he doing now? Painting Rick's house out in Lake Minnetonka. Oh....how the mighty have fallen. Vices man, they will get you into trouble all the time howlie.
So Aresenal and Manchester United TIED 0-0 this past weekend. Fucking Arsenal is nothing but a bunch of thugs. I hope the FA smokes all 7 players that were involved in the fracas, and they get to field their second tier team against Chelsea. That would make them think about pulling that obsurd behavior again!
Hmmmmmmmmm, I can't wait for Winter. My gif and I are planning a few nice trips to go snowboarding. I got new boots, a new helmet and some goggles at the sale. I also picked up some nice hoodies for like $25!!
Soccer is this weekend. I was feeling AWESOME in our first game. After a few parties and office birthday's - we'll see if I still have the giddy-up. I'm going to start playing hockey with a co-worker from the SLP store. Getting my legs back would be AWESOME for the upcoming indoor session.
Oh! I FINALLY finished the Super Dope Trance Addict Mix 5 and it totally smokes. The first two tracks kicks you in the nuts - the rest are smooth riding trance mixes. I mixed in some vocal trance to break up the motony.
Tomorrow I will address the shootings that happened in two schools in our state. I'll have to let the emotion sink in first.
Till then. . . . . . .

THURSDAY AND WAREHOUSE SALE MANIA!!
Today it finally started raining like a mother! I'm excited, today is the warehouse sale at ERIKS and my gif and I are going over and getting some snowboarding stuff for this winter. The week has been rather slow - so I've been getting some stuff done.
I'm going to miss the big Manchester/Arsenal derby this weekend because I'll be working the warehouse sale 8-5 both days. :( Of course I'm going to miss my soccer game too - but ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh wellllllllllllllllllllllllll.
Jay Mohr was hosting "The Jim Rome Show" today and I was laughing so hard, at times I could barely drive. He kept taking calls and people kept getting run (Jim plays a very loud horn and then they cut the caller off - this is known as "getting run"). It was hysterical and Jay couldn't find a decent call the whole time. I felt bad for the guy, but the "clones" (Jim's listeners refer to themselves as "clones") just were not helping him at all. The show was by far the highlight of my day - no doubt.
I'm not in any mood today - nuttin going on and I'm too laid back to really care about the little things going on. Today, all I've done is to answer phone calls all day. I had one moron complaining that he couldn't get a cell phone for the "new line" price from Nextel. I TRIED (in vein) to explain to him that all we get paid on is new activations and for us to give him a new $300.00 phone (our cost), for $150 - we would be losing $150. He still couldn't fathom why Nextel would give up his $3,600 in revenue each year over the fact that they wouldn't sell him a phone. HELLO!! WE DONT GET THE MONEY - NEXTEL DOES!! I hardly think Nextel is going to go out of business if you change providers. . . he was a toolbox, what can I say?
Aight - looking forward to getting my new helmet (for riding halfpipe), boots and goggles.
More lata,

QUIET WEEKEND - NICE MONDAY!
Aight! It was a nice slow weekend of doing little or nothing. I worked both days, which was fun. Erik "the bike man" showed up both days and was in rare form. Since he knows my current employer, we had some laughs about their relationship. The Vikings won - big whoop. Our soccer team won it's second game of the season (I had to work, so I missed it) which is great. The big game of the week is going to be my Manchester United Red Devils vs. My gifs Arsenal Gunners. The match is slated for Saturday night - no plans have been made yet. . . . .
Anyways, I also found out that my son is coming this weekend and I will be able to spend some time with him the following weekend. The warehouse sale is this week and I'll be getting some new goggles, a helmet (for when I ride pipe & park) and some new boots. My gif wants new pants and some new gloves. So this week is already starting with great anticipation!!
Last thing - was listening to Dennis Prager today and he had a rabbi one that was talk about Psalm's #23. It was a VERY stimulating conversation and Dennis had some profound insight into why he lets his children watch violent shows. His reasoning was that in this shows - the good guys always win and the bad guys loose. He said it sends a positive message to his kids and gives them the idea of safety and security.
Other than that - LIFE IS GOOD!!!!

BACK TO THE LAND OF THE LIVING
The weekend was fun. My cousin's wedding was a blast and the weather could not have been better! Today has been interesting thus far. I had to call the IRS this morning (NO FUN!), and do some paperwork.
Funny, my boss and I are currently engaged in a deep discussion about conspiracy theories. We were lamenting about how weird the weather has been lately and I brought up HAARP and the Chem Trail stuff. He dragged up the a show he watched last night with Bob Lazar and aleins and AREA 51. Just some spooky stuff. I'm finding more and more people are starting to believe this stuff - which I find interesting. Usually the people I don't think would give any of this stuff credibility - are usually the most ardant believers. And vice versa, naturally.
So here's a few fun links to jog your brain a bit - just cut and paste!

Have fun kiddies!!

OK SPORTS FANS!!!
Ok - no heady "the meaning of life" post here. . .
Just the simple note that I will be GHANDI for the weekend. I'm off to my cousin's wedding in Bayfield Wisconsin. I'm leaving tonight and will be back on Sunday. Soccer starts on Sunday and I'm rather excited. I've lost three pouds already and am feeling good about the upcoming match.
Alright - to all those that read these hollow letters and thoughts. . . .
TILL MONDAY HOWLIES!!

A NEW DAY - AND CHILLY!
Yeah, yeah - I know, it's been a while and you're all fussing over what's going on in my life right?? *taps mic*, *taps mic*, "Hello?", "Helllllooooooooooooo??"
Well, things have been a fricking roller coaster lately. My Gifs nephew is still in and out of the hospital. He's lost 20 pounds and is NOT doing well. She in turn has become a crusty distant person. It's a relationship, so I know there is always good with the bad and the like. I'm just trying to suck it up and go. I usually dont let stuff get to me, but with a pretty important weekend coming up (my cousin's wedding), this is the LAST thing I need on my mind. Oh well, move on - it will get better!!
Work was a bear at the beginning of the week and now has slowed to a crawl. I actually got some stuff today, which is a nice change of pace. Dealing with people coming at you from all directions can be frustrating and mind numbing all at the same time.
WHAT is good? Soccer, roller hockey starting. The possibility of getting a new bike ( a SEVEN CYCLES no less!), and working the annual ERIKS warehouse sale. That means my new snowboard boots and goggles are FINALLY within reach!!
WEIRD WEEKEND MOMENT
After I told my parents that I needed to bring home some extra stuff to store at their place, they asked my help with moving some furniture when I came over. My mom made me go through a half dozen boxes of stuff that had piled up since college. It was a trip. Out of all my college stuff - I must have pulled 25 little scraps of people's (mostly women) numbers. NONE of which tripped my memory in any way. The worst was going through the mother of my son's old letter's and cards. Not to mention all the pictures of us laughing, hugging and kissing. I'll have to admit - it was tough. I took all that stuff and put it into a separate box.
LIFE OBSERVATION
After going through all this stuff, it struck me again. What have I missed, where did I go wrong? What could I have changed?? I often think what my life would be like right now.. . . would I be happy? I don't know. My X was pretty intense, and I'm pretty laid back by nature. Whenever we were together it was obvious we were into each other. I just don't know what I would be doing or where I would be working. I got into wireless and telecommunications because it interested me, and since it was taking off - a good sales opportunity, not because I was qualified to do so. . .
Our relationship was pretty volitile. After I got a glimpse of how manipulative she can be, she just drained the life and love out of our relationship. I've never known such hate towards one individual in all my life. I don't let ANYBODY get to me. But she got to me and got under my skin - which NEVER happens. Maybe it's just resentment on both our parts for what I did (yeah, I did some pretty stupid things!) and how we both fucked up such a wonderful thing. In any case, it's an old circular argument - what could have been done? Would I have changed anything? Honestly, if it meant my life went in another direction - maybe. It's always easier to make a decision and then change it. The hardest is when your dealing with your future. People make choices (wrong or right) and it takes your life in different directions. I made a decision that I could not handle her and I chose to live without her constantly trying to paint me into a corner. I dunno. I still have mixed feelings about the whole affair. Don't get me wrong - I'm still happy.
How fitting? Here's my song of the day
"Scene of a Perfect Crime" by Concrete Blonde:
My eyes are jaded and complicated,
Tired of the liars and the masqueraded
Who steals our innocence away,
Like a thief in the night?
Who took away our faith in what we know to be right?
That was another world, then
That was another time
You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime.
Whatever became of the child I was
I never want to lose her no
I won’t give her up
And now my heart is harder,
My skin is getting tougher and tougher
That was another world then
That was another time
You can never go back to the place where love is blind
You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime
Whatever became of our sweet blind love
As long as we could be together it was more than enough
Now we’re all grown up and we need so much
I never knew that the price would go up as such
That was another world then, then
That was another time
Well you can never go back to the place where love is blind.
You can never go back to the scene of a perfect crime.
Sorry - that's all I got today. . . my mind has been unloaded of it's burden. .
