Sometimes I feel like AOL System Msg is my only friend.

I've long since said that commercials are the best and the worst of television. Well, today I'm definitely feeling the "worst" part of that. Don't get me wrong, most even mediocre programs are more enjoyable than the best of commercials, but I guess that since I expect commercials to suck so hard, even just a decently alright commercial by ( Read more... )

There's few better feelings than winning a game of poker. It's not even the twenty or forty or even hundred dollars, but outplaying someone at the right moment. I think that dealing with liars throughout my life has prepared me for poker. I never really played until recently, but even at this point I think I can read people on calls better than ( Read more... )

It's hard to stay mad when there's so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once, and it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst. And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it. And then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single ( Read more... )

I've been thinking about this entry for a couple hours now, but unfortunately I'm drunk and I can't remember the one-liner I wanted to use to title it. Does anyone else find themselves in the same boat as me? By that I mean do you raid your parents' liquor cabinet when you go home? Cuz I do. I've never been a drinker - my tastes have always lay ( Read more... )

I've had this thing for red meat lately. I'm finicky if I have a choice about it. I can easily spend ten minutes shopping for ten dollars worth of steak. Meat multi-packs are a better deal so I try to buy them, but sometimes it's difficult. It's tough to look at the best cut of meat in a store and leave without it because you can buy two others ( Read more... )

I'm so bored. I need a job. Hire me. Make your employer hire me. Let me assure you, I'm fucking awesome. I'm almost ready to apply for my old job, though at a different store because I'm sure LW would never get off of her power trip. Congratulations LW, you're generally regarded as the biggest waste of space to ever "grace" the Grandville CC ( Read more... )

Holy goodness, it's been over eleven (11) days since I have put out a "real" post. I've wanted to make posts, like, so many times oh my god (!), but I just never found the motivation. This journal too often is a vehicle for me to share pointless stories that to me are slightly funny or ironic or just plain stupid and therefore worthwhile. Tonight ( Read more... )

Sometimes I start thinking about Sam's Joint Barbecue Chicken Breast Strips and I can't stop thinking about them.

I spend a lot more time in Allendale than I used to. Dave and I played four sets of tennis today - it was intense. Last night I played GVSU's nicest practice piano for four hours straight. No breaks. I learned an entire Chopin Prelude ( Read more... )
