Where Da Food At?!?!?

Americans are retarded....

ok ok ok, not all of you of course, I think Im just going to make it known that I dislike the vast majority of anyone from say: South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia...

People from this area are right up there with girls from Essex, England.

If you have met anyone from there you'll know exactly what Im talking about...

They have got to be the loudess, rudess, most annoying form of human life I have ever come in contact with...




Anyways, I went on a cruise last week and it was like a f'n wet dream.....

Because I went on as a "cousin" of an old friend from highschool I only had to pay $35...a movie date can cost more then that...

It was the sweetest deal I have ever gotten...Had my own room down amongst the crew, with a double bed, bathroom, TV, etc etc...everything I needed. I had access to all areas the regular passengers could visit, plus I got to walk around like I was one of the crew...and paid crew prices for everything...which meant free most of the time.




All I have to say is regular drink = 4-7 bucks US....Crew prices = 1-3 bucks US.

A regular Corona was a buck, and a redbull and vodka was 3. Between the casino and the bar I still managed to spend roughly 400 bucks. hahaha.

I met a bloody ton of awesome people...all crew, as I didnt even bother meeting any passengers.




We started out in Tampa, headed south around Cuba to the Grand Caymans. After we hit up the Caymans we sailed back up north to Cozumel, Mexico...and from there carried on back home to Tampa which took up the 5 days.

I think I gained at least 10 pounds...easy....I want to quit my job and go work on this ship...stupid job, stupid car, stupid house...

Ha...

Im with the Band....

So my birthday came and went....Now 26....means nothing, another number, WooHoo!!

But now my posts will be quite different as I have been introduced to the wild world of digital photography, courtsey of the beauty below...




Most amazing present ever...Thanks love.

There was another sweet present, which I will take a picture of to explain...and post about it later.

Now to the weekend following the drunken mess....

My friends band, Broadside, was playing in Muskoka on the Saturday night. So a bunch of us got hotel rooms and headed north. I think one of the best things ever is walking past a huge line without paying cover by simply uttering, "Im with the band".




Once again, these guys rocked out super hard and had the crowd eating out of their hands for the night. After the show they played a private set for the staff and friends with all the tasty wings you could handle...I missed that somehow. haahha.

All in all a good trip...

"Your honor Im at it again!!"

10 bucks to anyone who can tell me where that title is from....

Anyways, I mentioned in the last post I might be looking at getting a second house....

Well here she is in all her glory

Directly to the right you may or may not recognize something....

That would be the house I already own.

Ha...

M.I.A.

Been away for a bit....so here's a quick snapshot of what's going on

1) Was at a wedding on the weekend. 47 funny things happened, ex: the song they choose to enter the reception to??? Thunderstruck

I dont have any pictures yet because they are on someone elses camera...probably never see those, kinda like how I never posted pictures from my last party. I really need a new camera...oh well.

Found one:




My contribution of stupidity? My suit...I painted a few things in my house last week so everything reeked like oil based paint, including my suit. F!!! So Friday night rolls around and I decide to put the suit outside to "air-out" while I head off to the bar. Im driving because I know I have to come home to bring the damn thing inside...my rubber arm is twisted ever so slightly and Im suddenly on pint number 5...going nowhere fast. Long story short: It rains that night...so when I get back home in the morning the suits wet, PLUS its in a ball under a case of empties that had fallen on top of it....you have got to be kidding me...

2) The only cool/fun person in my office was let go on Friday...and I still dont think they are done firing people. Hopefully I'll be next as my days will now be boring as shit...




3) Last but not least, I was in a small car accident on Monday...Some guy decided hed like to change lanes, only my car was there already...Idiot. I stopped right in the middle of downtown Hamilton on King to get out and talk to this one-nut.

Guy: "Like honestly, how fast were you going?!?!"

Me: (in my head, waaaay too f'ing fast, thats why you didnt see me, and is why you hit me, and is now why we are standing here talking) "Listen, dont give me shit...youre the one that hit me"

His front end is TF'ed, while my passenger side only has some scrapes and dents..not a big deal at all. Probably $100 bucks to fix.

Me: "Well what do you want to do?"

Guy: "I really really don't want to go through insurance"

Me: "Well, what do you got on you?"

Guy: "60 bucks...and you can have my cd player out of my car"

Me: "Deal!"

AHahahah Im not even going to fix my car.....sooooo the 60 bucks paid for dinner with the GF, and the new cd player will go in my other car which needs a new deck anyways.

Oh.....And I think im buying a second house...

We'll see, depends if they fire my ass or not.

Maggie 1 : My house - 6

My Mom works Monday nights at a medical office, and my Dad goes golfing. This leaves our new little puppy alone with my brother for the night. Last night he brought the little monster down to my house...what a mistake...she has not been house trained yet.

1) pisses on my floor...no big deal, I had already assumed this was going to happen. We had her outside for ages trying to get her to go, nothing doing...then she comes inside and pees right away...




2) takes a partial crap in my bed....my bro grabbed her and rushed her outside before she could do the whole dead. I watch her for a bit in hopes she would finish....she did not.

3) now this one is not really against my house, but god dammit it sucked enough so it makes the post. Theres a fence between my property and the next that has slots in it. The little asshole bolted for it and got itself stuck in the fence. I felt sooo bad, I didnt know what to do. She was freaking out and couldnt fit her hips through, or manage to get herself back either. It was actually terrifying to hear her yelping and freaking out so bad. I managed to get her back through the fence and brought her inside...




4) once inside she throws up in the bathroom of all places (maybe shes not totally dumb) because she probably ate something outside...we are getting really tired of her at this point.

5) just when I thought it couldnt get any worse.....she finishes her dump on my white fuzzy rug that lies in front of the fire place...wonderful. Just wonderful..We attempted to clean this up...but it did absolutely nothing. I almost barfed...so we improvised..we cut the bad part of the rug off. ahhaah

6) the little f'ing bastard is now asleep and couldnt possibly do anymore harm. Yet!!! when we go to flush the toilet it plugs because we've put too many paper towels in it from trying to clean up her mess....

I hate this little dog. hahaha.

Jimmy get on that horn!!...Jimmy?..Where's Jimmy?

I have now accepted that working is a standard in my life, and that it comprises the bulk of my day, and therefore, a large part of my life...Hence...blogging about it.

People who "retired" on Friday:

The president

The materials planner

The inventory controller

The scheduler

Other positions eliminated:

One estimator

Our cost accountant....




I knew the pres was going....but it was a fucking war zone in there...No one knew what was going on, and no one knew it was coming...

I saw a man come to tears right infront of me as the president thanked him for his time....

Holyshitballs....

I was just happy to have a job Friday...

Today?? Im pissed I didn't get promoted...

hahaah.
