So sick I have become of my life being dictated by a piece of paper with the word "schedule" printed across it.

Three weeks ago, my esteemed friend Stephan Aaron Cavin, his girlfriend, and myself were standing on one of the many concrete ramps at the tiger stadium. We were on our the back end of our break and were expected back at our posts within the hour. I had already placed the sabotaged cup on a level above us and hoped for a successful trap. Aaron took ( Read more... )

So today was the first time I've ever taken part in an actual government election.  No, I will not tell you who I voted for and no I did not feel empowered by knowing I was making my voice known. Honestly, I have paid no attention whatsoever to the campaign after I left the booth thingy. Don't really care ( Read more... )

It's early in the morning. Walk outside because it feels absolutely wonderful ( Read more... )

Hmm.. my gustav experience had several highlights including 10 hours of The Wire before the loss of power, having 5 boxes of cereal and no milk, telling Bahron I didn't care that he needed me that I wasn't going to work, debating MRE's taste by packing, reading a lot. working nearly 14 hour straight. watching a car burn in front of Dollar general.

We pull in to a relatively full parking lot for a Friday night in the wee hours in Central. As ( Read more... )

In the many many months I've been employed at Cactus I have never been yelled at or chewed out which is something very few of my coworkers can brag. For instance, I came in to work an hour and forty-five minutes late and refused to answer any of their calls. When they asked me what happened my answer was a shrug and they laughed. I did this another ( Read more... )

 Sometimes when i'm driving around in the truck I think that I won't stop and I'll smash into the back of someone's car but this time it will be from the helpless to stop angle rather than the "Hey let's look at the clock for a sec" angle I played last time. Mainly it is because the brake fluids leak out everytime I stop the truck and I have to put ( Read more... )

I walked into work last night to start my shift and I noticed on the door that we were closed Sunday and Monday. At this moment I realized I have a three day weekend (technically a 2 day weekend because Saturday I have to go and take care of errands and such) but regardless I was really happy and high-fived everyone in the place. The End.
