best week ever!

This will be the best week ever (okay, maybe just of 2008) for the following reasons:

1. Baseball started back officially last night (and though the Braves lost, at least a Brave hit the first HR in Nationals park history, since we had to hear about how this-and-that was the first ever, blah blah blah. way to go chipper)

2. moe. is coming to town, and they'll be here thursday-saturday. I have tickets to all three nights, but may or may not be present at all, because of ...

3. Al is visiting! I finally somehow convinced him (or Stephen did, whatever) to come up and visit. In his defense, he's been really freaking busy with football/wrestling/everything up til two weeks ago (when he dealt with another visit from me, so I guess he's off the hook there). But hell yeah! I'm not gonna make him and Stephen go to both Friday and Saturday, so I'll probably bow out of whichever night they don't want to go to. Totally worth it for more Al time!

My life's pretty ho-hum most of the time, so this is pretty badass! I'm excited, and quite frankly, if you don't care, then I don't care about you. So there.

What an ass

So, I have tried to stay friends with my ex-boyfriend. I haven't seen him since October, haven't spoken to him in weeks, and he can't bother to reply to 1.) a text message sent 3 weeks ago or 2.) an email sent last week.

I'm just trying to be nice. I feel like he and I went through too much to not at least be on speaking terms for the rest of our lives. It'd pretty much be a waste otherwise. I guess he's okay with waste.

If I ever do talk to him again, I can guarantee his official reason for not talking to me will be that he was "busy". I can understand busy, but too busy to give a short reply to an email/text? Please. That's just ridiculous.

So, in closing, screw you. Your loss.

traitor?

I wanted desperately for Tennessee to win last night, but I'd picked Louisville in my bracket pool. Does that make me a traitor?

I like to say I pick what's smart, but cheer from my heart. Yeah, lame, but that's what I did. I have UNC winning the whole thing.

I don't care about UNC. I don't care much for anything North Carolina-related at this point.

busy.

I love when I get to go to Georgia. I hate getting back here. I started my second job today.

Do I need to reiterate how shitty my life is that I needed to get a second job in order to pay my rent AND live like I used to?

I am job hunting in GA, so if you know any legal types (or hell, non-legal business types) that are seeking to hire, let me know. The closer I can be to Athens the better.

I hope this thing with the current boy works out. He could stand to be more affectionate, but on the balance, he's great. Would feel GREAT about my life right now if I just wasn't here. Sigh. Something to work on.

yawn...

I'd like to be out making this a crazy holiday like I normally do, except

1. I have to work tomorrow
2. Nothing could outdo last year's St. Patty's

#2 matters a whole lot more.

I made a complete ass of myself on St. Patty's last year, and I'm VERY happy I did so. I was lucky enough to end up talking to (and to fall off barstools for) the best man in Athens because of it.

Here's hoping he doesn't replace me this year!

McCain...

In the light of this comment by you:

"The enemy we fight has no respect for human life or human rights. They don't deserve our sympathy. But this is not about who they are. It is about who we are."

Why did you stand behind the veto of the bill banning waterboarding?

fark post

He/she said it way better than I ever could:

I mourn for what we once were - a nation of ideals, upheld by brave men and women who stood for what was right. Now, we're a bunch of puppy-pitching, bigoted, torturous savages abroad, backed by spineless yes-men and an imitation dictator at home and supported by countries desperate to remain on our good side so they can get a piece of the action.
