My cheering subjects below my fifth story office window

So I saw the wedding planner last night


Wasn't that predictable -- like that ever happens life is just not that sugar coated - it was funny but you just knew that they were going to end up together


Lets have unpredictable endings in movies -- you know that stuff that you didn't figure out


Like in the 6th sense -- I'm sure there are a lot of people who saw right through it but I didn't and I liked that i was surprised at the end


However if people don't like the ending to movies the critics trash the whole movie -- like in To live and die in LA -- the good guy dies and nobody likes it -- Hell good guys die, so do the bad guys but we want everything to work out all good


I think I even fell prey to my own complaint in a previous entry when I mentioned the ending to pay it forward sucked -- so I'm as guilty as everyone else -- so I'll just shut up now and talk about something else

OH and I still have that notify list in case you don't want to list me as a favorite but you like to read my....... well you like to read the crap I type into this -- oh and sorry about all the playing around yesterday -- I'm still trying to figure out how I want the thing to look


OK I'm done with my shameless self promotion

____________________________________________________


Tomorrow is my brothers b-day


no the other one


I suppose I should explain why my brothers are called the peacemaker and the other one


Well the peacemaker is fairly self-explanatory -- no matter the situation he tries to make peace or more to the point if you are mad at the parental units you are wrong and he attempts to get you to forget about it and tell the units its OK for them to crap all over you it was probably my own fault anyway. Yeah right -- but that's what he does.


the other one -- he is the youngest and all that goes with the youngest sibling thing -- we get along but aren't close but we aren't distant either oh and I'm the oldest of the three of us too in case you were wondering -- anyway he is the otherone because anytime I am actually in a conversation with anyone and I would be telling some anecdote about my life and would include something about a brother so I say something like "so my brother and I were..." and whoever it is that I'm talking to says "the peacemaker" and I say "no the other one" so hes the other one


anyway it's his birthday tomorrow -- I haven't gotten him anything and I don't think I'm going to -- I'm not mad at him or anything but how long do you keep getting birthday presents for people I'll call him and say happy day dude or something like that -- that's what he gets for me but he calls like a month late but that's not here nor there


Maybe I am such a horrible rotten thoughtless person who dashes peoples emotions and feelings on the rock shores -- which reminds me no one laid claim to the King of the Bastards title so I guess I have to keep it -- long live the king vive la Bastard vive la Bastard vive la Bastard -- you can just see the throngs of people outside my window chanting can't you. Well with that happy note and my cheering subjects below my fifth story office window I must depart for another weekend -- I have Monday off too ha four day weekend I'm not going to do anything but I have four days off in a row and I'm going to stay out of trouble. I hope

Don't worry, I'm fine

So my drink not think plan regarding the shambles of my family life is not a good plan, for several reasons. I'll get to those later.

a song and dance -- no I'm kidding I wouldn't wish that malediction on the devil himself -- yes it's that bad


Guestbook and stuff

sternchen visited

someone from Sprint

sdca ???

and my regular readers -- all of you guys & girls, are the cream in my coffee -- the apple in my pie, the cheese on my pizza -- well you get the picture I like it a lot that you all come by and read my ramble, dribble, rants, and other stupid stuff. Thanks


YankeeBelle -- yes I can relate and that has happened to me more times then I can count -- but the bright side is no one tries to take food from you


Heidi -- I think I've seen you guys on the TV -- you know there are so many people at those games -- I played Rugby in college but I still went to the football games to taunt the players when they did badly that was fun -- ah the good ol' college days


_____________________________________________________


OK the drink not think plan


Its just not a good idea


1. Cost -- liquor is expensive


2. Sleep -- well it isn't as restful when your body is working to burn up booze while your sleeping


3. Dehydration -- well it seems paradoxical but its not the more booze you suck in the less water that the body has for other stuff I know this but do I counteract this -- no -- why -- I don't know I'm drinking


4. Brain cells -- you need them and well they don't exactly play well with your "old grand dad" or any of his pals Johnny Walker, Bud Wiser, Jose Cuervo, Lord Calvert, Jim Beam, Jack Daniels, Sir Aurther Guinness, and Captain Morgan. I'm telling you these guys just hate brain cells -- who knows why but they kick the hell out of them every time they get together


5. Screaming at your sneakers -- the ol' techno colour yawn -- no it didn't and hasn't in a long time -- I know when to say when --I just need to come up with a new plan


Something like this


They call and say "Hello"

I say "Goodbye" or say "Has anyone ever done this to you before" and then hang up


I think that would be a much better plan and not cost a much hmmm why didn't I think of that earlier


Oh that's right my original plan drink not think -- its just a bad idea -- I'm sure many of you are beginning to wonder if I am in serious need of some AA meetings


No


I like coffee and cigarettes but not that much -- Have you ever been to one of those meetings. Man it's like oh ok lets give up one addiction and pick up two


Some of my clients, when I was a social worker, were court ordered to those meetings -- You might think the judge takes them because he says they have to go


-- nope some sorry bleeding heart social worker drags their formerly drunk asses to the caffine and nicotine fix in the basement of the local church --


now there is some thing to say ironic about -- we'll help you trade sins these wont get you in to hell as fast


Ok I need to play nice -- oh the effects of my family are just toxic they bring out the very worst in me after having been exposed to them -- I wonder if the chemical warfare gear I used to have would help subdue the effects -- hang on Mom I need to get the NBC gear on (NBC being nuclear, biological, and chemical)


Well I guess I should get some work done and don't worry, I'm fine

Oh my god there is country music on the radio again... (ARGH)

OH Happy Tuesday

I wasn't able to sleep very much last night -- I am still apparently "King of the Bastards" this time the confirmation came not from my brother the peace maker but from my father -- more on that later I doubt you want to hear about my dysfunctional life with the FAM. so I'll skip that until I'm feeling a bit more like opening some doors that have been closed for a very long time.

OK as promised why I am invisible
or
how I came to be invisible
by
Invisible Don
MS. Amrhines class (she was actually a teacher of mine 3rd grade to be exact)


The thing is that I have been invisible as long as I can remember Here is some proof of my invisibility
My aunt (who has passed away) said no one ever picked me up as a child -- I'm not sure why she told me this but she did, so apparently I was born invisible

at age 5 I was standing on a side walk and was run over by a motorcycle -- yes actually run over by a motorcycle -- that was a rather fun summer being wheeled to picnics and things and then sitting by myself away from everyone and no one coming over to talk to me

at age 7 I missed several weeks of school for something or other -- i was sick I'm sure -- no one noticed not even the teachers -- report card said no days missed and I know I missed like 15 or so

at age 10 I'm sitting in the middle of a family gathering and everyone is talking about me like I'm not there -- kinda like in A Christmas Carol except I wasn't being toted hither and fro by some spirit

at age 16 while working at a state park -- then Governor now US Senator Jay Rockefeller stepped on me or knocked me down not once, not twice but five separate times in completely different areas of the hall he was in for his meetings.

Then two weeks later his opponent the former Governor Arch Moore -- did the same thing
I was able to avoid detection in the military -- but it really came in rather helpful there so I can't complain

In college it allowed me to keep a focus on my studies and graduate early and with honors

Now I just am sort of used to people not seeing me that I don't even think about it much
anymore.

I didn't start referring to myself as invisible until about a year ago when ozz and I were discussing the movie Clerks -- and the comparison between myself and Kevin Smiths character Silent Bob was made so I said but I'm more like invisible don and I have used the handle ever since. So that's it

I think I need that Paul Harvey guy to say "now you know ...........the rest of the story"

I showed up at the wrong party one day

Well I survived yet another weekend
_____________________________________________________
Guest book and stuff
Chicken pie -- I know the rest of that little poem --
sorry about the surfer guy too

Heidi -- is the punching bag everlast? But remind me not to hang out on street corners in your neighborhood I really don't like getting a Beat down front of my crew. :)

Allie -- hey I'm good! how are you? oh and no problem on the guest book thingy thanks for the return

Emberly17 -- hey -- I haven't stopped by yet so I'll reserve my right to make a statement after the prosecution closes on the case

oh and I'm over 1000 guests visitors and what not and have 12 fave listings -- I am happy -- I am just so easily entertained its not even funny -- oh well keeping my sites low allows me to hit the mark more often then not --

of course you fall down a lot too but that's neither here nor there -- well actually it is sort or right there where your nose is on the ground and a pool of blood is forming right there --- yikes
Sorry I get going on something and then I just lose track of what I'm doing -- which is the secret to flying
____________________________________________________
OK the weekend

One of the friends was having a Birthday party -- fortunately it also happened to be her birthday too

I went along with several other people

Well long and short -- I still don't have that much in common with any of my friends -- and I'm not sure how it is that I ended up in the circle I'm in right now

I think I showed up at the wrong party one day and I just sort of was picked up by this group --
which is odd too because I have a very odd reputation among the group....it seems that I have very little or few morals, but they all call me the priest -- I know it gets odder still

I have supposedly had knowledge of all the women in the group and undoubtedly if a new female person comes to some function --at the next one someone will be mad as hell at me for having knowledge of the new person -- which is entirely not true --
but it happens every single time -- My friend J thinks its funny as all get out which is good because I was rumored to have been with his wife too -- not true
Anyway that was Friday the 13th

Saturday the 14th
I pulled up some more old concrete to make way for the new driveway and then rented Snatch -- I like it but -- the nicknames were especially interesting --
I have an idea for a movie I wonder if I started dating Helen Hunt if I could get the thing made -- I know shes not as wealthy as Madonna --but her Dad's a director and she's has an Oscar --
so you know I could get this thing to film --If they will make Dude where's my car they will make anything you just have to know the right person

Sunday the 15th
I got up drank coffee,
watched HGTV, --Norm has mad skills on the wood working stuff
-- then I ate cold Pizza
-- worked on my class stuff
-- helped the neighbor guy --no not that one -- neighbor guy lives on the other side of the street
anyway
Neighbor guy had moved his kids play set and then needed help moving it back into the new area he built for it -- so I help which I like doing (king of the bastards my ass) --then we talk about guy stuff for awhile until neighbor guy's wife comes out and says Hi then looks at hubby and then he says see ya I gotta go now - I say OK see you around and wander back across the street -- neighbor guy was back out in the yard working again a few minutes later -- I guess all the guy talk was keeping him from the honey do list

--oh well so I went back to my place and continued reading the Sunday paper on my porch
-- I don't have to buy the paper -- the other neighbor guy -- yes the gay one -- has a paper route and he gives it to the people between his house and mine then I get it around 3 or so -- yesterday it was around 5 or so
--then I went in and watched VH1 for a minute no videos -- they are getting about as bad as MTV and I'm not calling the cable guys and saying I want MTV 2 I did it once in the 80's and now they broke the deal
-- then I did something else and then read and went to sleep
-- only to get up on Monday and come in to work but I get to do this so its all good

Take that superstar rock band guy

So it is the last day of the week for me again man does time fly or in the immortal words of Groucho Marx time flies like an arrow, but fruit flies like a banana.(LOL)

Alright its not funny but ...Well its just not that funny but I like it.

The thing from the last entry is actually the name of a sumo wrestler Kaio -- he won the emperors cup back in March -- in case you were wondering if I had lost my mind -- I have but just so you know
_____________________________________________________
Guestbook and Stuff -- OK since this one is rather long I put it at the end so if you just came to see your name jump down to the bottom and look for the guestbook thingy again I'll change the colour 'cause I know how to do that -- yippee for me
_____________________________________________________

OK so the weekend is fast approaching for me and I am so looking forward to it
Why you ask
I don't know I'm not going to do anything fun but hey its not work
Yikes the country western station somehow found its way onto the radio brb

OK much better now I have the local rock radio station on Z101 they are alright and play good music a play list ... sure , but who doesn't have one now -- but man the afternoon DJ is a dumbass I can't stand him I turn him off nearly every time he speaks especially at 4:20 and he knows why and if you hear him it is just this horrible shrieking noise that he thinks is soooooo coooooooool -- well its not its just annoying noise and it sucks so stop it -- OK -- and Gardener said so too in case you read this

OK enough of that

So I've been getting up in the mornings now at 4am to workout the treadmill makes too much noise and I can't hear the TV or the radio without blasting it way up load and I think the neighbors might not like to hear Nine Inch Nails playing that loud at 4am I don't mind it but they might -- I'm making myself listen to them again -- for a while I couldn't

Why

Well I was seeing this girl -- really nice ...anyway -- yes it was the one that hated the anyway thing--

anyway she had tickets to go to see nine inch nails and I couldn't go because of some thing or another -- well long story short she ended up getting back stage and then she slept with the drummer -- seriously -- well they actually started dating for awhile -- so I quit listening to the band -- I showed them huh -- hey he got the message and hasn't taken anymore of my dates away -- take that superstar rock band guy. Yeah.

I think I'm going to take off early today I have a ton of things to do from my class and a quiz to write and all that jazz but I needed to do this and get a few things done around here from the monster but then I'll be free for the weekend -- I think I'll be hooked up at home soon with the digital Internet.

I know it will be so cool
Well I guess that about all for now hope every one has a great weekend and plays well with others
now stay tuned for the guest book stuff below

OK I'm gone now (its the invisible thing I like to tell people when I leave so they can talk about me without worrying that I'm still there)

I fell in love with a girl at the Rock show

I have people signing my guest book again *GRINS*

I swear I'm so easily amused

Which is good because I would simply good stark raving mad if I weren't easily entertained.
anyway enough of me being simple.

Guestbook & stuff

First stuff from the stats -- UK, philly, and Salt lake city all checked in with the curious other onlookers with numbers and dashes and other things I don't understand.

Google tip -- title something curse words in some language IE "Russian curse words" -- you'll get some hits -- I've gotten about 15 or so just on that phrase -- I mean if you are interested in that kinda thing .

Several people came from Uncle Bob's diary o'chuckles -- he is funny
several of the places I visited -- visited me but didn't leave a note -- how rude

Heidi fierce signed twice - thanks -- hmmm I'm not sure why -- I'll get back to you on that

Chicken Pie -- the ever faithful always signing in here and there -- I hope you do watch chicken run and you look better than a melted Tupperware thing

Invisible pal -- I know you didn't sign or anything but I still have to do the why I'm invisible thing -- I still remember but it won't be today

OK now back to my pathetic life

Well not exactly pathetic but nearly there -- I took a month long break from reading anything -- I just didn't pick up a non-work related book at all -- and I was rather disappointed with myself for that -- I still read things for me even in grad school but now i have let work become the driving and defining thing in my life which is no way to be.

I am slowly getting it into my head that no matter how hard you work for someone
and no matter how many good things you do -- you are always replaceable
-- just like that -- so to hell with the company and to hell with sucking up to the boss and all that office nice nice stuff

I own me and not the other way around -- I'll get to that pile of stuff when I want to -- you want it sooner get it to my desk in a timely manner and not hold onto it for two weeks and then give it to me a day before you need the thing back -- two weeks ago I would have said hey no problem I'll shoot this right back to you in a day or two -- but cram it down my throat because you have a deadline now - I think not thank you very much I'm not your toady, flunky, etc.

OK I'm done now I had to rant about work for a bit

Alright I rant really well -- or at least I ranted some -- now I have to tuck my tail and start working on the monster -- the large pile of stuff -- so i can get my piece of paper this Friday -- oh no its number 13 of 24 is that unlucky or is just this Friday -- ironic though 13th pay period and its Friday the 13th *shudder* Someone pass the holy water and a rabbits foot, i have a four leaf clover I'll share with you

OK I'm better now

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

OK I'm better now

I have a huge pile of stuff to do that others have kept in their little piles and now they all bring them to me on the same day so I have a big pile of things to do -- little piles make for really big piles later.

Plus I'm stuck doing the phone thing again and its not my job -- I'm just always in my office and no one else can seem to multi-task.

-- I really hate the phone thing --

I seriously wonder how some of them even figured out how to work the phone to call me and bother me -- you want to ask how have you lived this long -- I am just not a stupid friendly person -- I'm sure I give me true feelings away when I am face to face with them -- thank god there isn't a picture phone yet for mass market -- I would seriously get into major trouble then -- because the would see the "can you really be that dumb" look or the "I really don't care one bit about whats going on in your life just ask the Ph*(&^)(*&^ question" look.
Well I need to try to make this pile of junk go away -- hmmm the trash can looks tempting
