Nothing good comes for nothing

Wow what a weekend. I would have to say that this weekend was one for the record books. I would have to say that the one think that I really have going for me is my friends. They come through when I really need them. This weekend started off with me leaving work and going to my favorite Bar to get drunk and forget about the hell that is life. This was good and something that I really needed. While I am at the bar my best friend calls me and asks me if I want to go to the UFC fight. Now I have never been to one of these fights but hell why not it might be fun. I have to say that this was a great night. Lots of drinking and the amount of eye candy was amazing. There were so many fake boobies out there and cleavage showing it would make any man happy. I even met a couple of cool girls that live near by and got their numbers. Now this is a good night. Sunday I didn’t really do anything because another friend called me up and said they had tickets to the Angels baseball game. Now I am not really a big fan of baseball but when he told me where the seats were I had to go. Seems his job gave a few people Suite tickets. This meant free food and drinks. We were sitting right next to the Angels Dugout. Right behind the batters circle. Hot damn what great game and what great food and drinks. As a matter of fact what a great weekend at this point. Now by now you must be wondering why my title seems a little bad. Well after the game it seems that things were on the down swing. As we were approaching my apartment the whole neighborhood is in a black out. Very nice this is what I wanted to come home to. Ok so that is nothing that bad. But I haven’t had a real job in about a year. I have been looking and going on interviews but nothing has come of them. So I had to make a choice, either have a place to live or pay my car note and live in that. I chose to have a place to live and live with them coming to get my car. Well after a great and wonderful weekend I wake up at 4 am to the sound of my car alarm. Well the time had run out on my luck and I now have lost my car. So I am without a car in a town where you can’t get anywhere without one. At this point I am just waiting for the other shoe to drop and my life goes totally into the toilet. Now this really is a great start to the summer. I think I am just going to crawl under a rock now and wait for the rest of the world to go to the Shyter.

Update From last post

Ok well it would seem that they are not closing my office. But at this point with the way we were are being treated and the way the company is run there is no reason to stay. I am hoping that some of the feelers that I put out last week will bare some fruit this week. This has been one long weekend and so I will have a full update next week and fill everyone in. Until then keep drinking people.

350lbs of lies and lard

Ok now this has been the week from hell. I can’t believe just how much and how many people I want to tell to go to hell. Well this is how the week starts. We are told that the office that we are working at is going to be closing at the end of the month. Yes as in a couple of days. But it gets better. We have projects due after that so that now we have to get this done before we lose our jobs. Now one of those projects is so behind schedule that if it makes it out it would be a miracle. See the problem with that project is that the project manager is a complete idiot. This is the only woman that can’t tell a lie to save her life. Now I don’t mean that she is some that is honest. She is just someone that doesn’t know how to lie. We have two project managers. One is leaving at the end of the week. So these two decide that it would be good to pull a good cop bad cop on us to get us motivated. See the problem being is that 1. We are all losing our jobs and this place isn’t on our top 10 places to be or to be worried about. 2. The Project in question is behind because of her and now she is laying the blame all on the worker bees. For over 6 months I have listened to her tell the people on this project that “I only want these two people looking at this project.” Now the lead on the project left 3 months ago. The only other person to look at the project left last week. Now that there are more people looking at it they are finding all kinds of problems with it. We were asked how is it that now you are finding all these problems? Well all of us wanted to walk out right then and there but without a paycheck coming in that isn’t the best idea. But everyone is pissed at this. No one working in our department is responsible for this clusterfuck. The other project will be done on time but just barely and because it’s not a bad project and the developer is good. So we are not really worried about that. But that project we were only given a week to do this project on like 30 units. Which for us is a lot so it was a fucked deal to begin with, but we have to deal with it? It’s just a sad thing that I have to drink before work just to get through the day without cursing someone out or killing them. I can’t believe the clusterFuck that this company’s management is. I don’t think they could find a clue if they had Scooby Doo helping them. Well back to my Vodka and OJ.

Dear Satan please read.

Dear Satan,
It has come to my attention lately that there will be a number of souls coming your way. It would be great if you could make arrangements to have us all housed in the same area near a beach if you don’t mind. I know that you really don’t take request but I am going to let you know just why this would be a great idea and very helpful to you also. It would seem that “some” of the people in this group have a great many issues. Now if left out on their own they might try and take over hell and run it how they seem fit. Now as I see it you could have one large condo building full of these lowlifes in one spot too busy having sex and partying to worry about taking over. Or you could have a few spots in hell where each of these individuals trying to take over hell. I am sure you don’t want there to be civil war in hell. Well I will let you think it over and watch the trouble that we can get in by ourselves while on earth. While you watch and wonder how so many people can be so f’d up. Just ask yourself what would it be like in hell when we really don’t have any rules?

Women are no god damn good.

Ok so I am back to the monastery. But as I have had a couple of my female friends tell me today. At least she was very honest with you. Damn it they are right she was honest and up front with me the whole time and I really can’t be all that upset. Don’t get me wrong I am pissed off at the fact that I am not alone again I think. People I know that made no sense but welcome to my world. So people that don’t know the story I met a woman we should call K. We hung out a couple of times and seemed like we were getting along. Over the last week it’s been kind of hard to get a handle of what was going on. I didn’t know why but I had a feeling about it. So late last night I texted her to find out if she might want to go to the movies this week. The message I got back was “I don’t know yet. I have “kind of” gotten back with my ex.” What the hell? When the hell did this happen? But I really can’t be all that mad because she didn’t lead me on in anyway. The moment it came up she told me the truth and laid it all out for me. But I am telling you I wanted to be pissed off at the world. Damn it Women are no damn good. Ok now that is my rant for the day. Time to troll the horny ads. Hell I have got to find a date for this weekend the blow up doll is starting to wear thin. My god tears in my drink don’t taste very well.

Video game Nerds


Man it’s been the week from hell. Oh and let me say this in the beginning so when you read why it’s the week from hell you people don’t want to kill me. Hanging around guys that wouldn’t know where the happy place on a woman if you drew them a map is not fun one bit. Ok now I know everyone just read the above and are wondering what dungeons and dragons world did I fall into. NO I went to something almost as bad. I was at a video game convention called E3. It’s something that goes on every year at this time and something that makes me glad that I get out of the basement every other week. You all might ask what is wrong with going to a video game convention. Well, nothing really. But since I am working it’s not all fun and games. But I have noticed a trend the last couple of years that I have worked this show. It would seem maybe because of my size or overall look I am on guard duty every year. Now guard duty is a funny thing. Most of the guys that I work with might like it. But I have to say I am starting to hate it. What prey tell am I guarding? I am guarding the models (booth babes). Every once and a while I get one that is really smart and is fun to talk to. Other times they are dumber than a box of rocks. The last two days was spent with the ones that have rocks in their heads. The sad thing is you get a lot of guys taking pictures with these girls and you know this is the closest they have ever been to a live woman that wasn’t ignoring them. It’s the same thing every year. 19- 30 year old virgins wanting bragging rights about seeing the latest game out. Way to hot models being asked to take a picture with said virgins and being drooled on. And all the industry people either drunk, hung over or wishing they were someone else for this week. OH the joy of working in the video game industry. Oh and by the way none of the people in the pictures are me.

Rant on women

The older I get the less I will ever understand women. Now before I get started let me tell you the new girl that I started dating has not gone crazy yet. We have been getting along very well lately even had dinner last night kind of a last minute type of thing. Nope this has to do with all women in general. I think if you are “born” female there is a gene that will go off at some point and drive your gender INSANE. Now I know that if there is a woman reading this they will say it’s men that make them like this. Oh hell no, I have seen it where a guy will be just as innocent and then the female will drive him up the wall. No wonder men blow out their brains more. LOL well that is my rant about women I can now try and be happy with the very nice woman that I know will drive me crazy at some point in time.

Forgive me if I Ramble

Now this was a good weekend. It didn’t really start out that way but it did end on a good note. I had made plans to go out with a new girl on Friday. Now it wasn’t a blind date but we had met online. We had had coffee a couple of days before just too kind of get a few of each other. OH man was I happy with this sexy woman from the net. We had talked for a while and traded Im’s back and forth for a few days so it was clear she was interested. Now we get to the big day and I will admit I am excited. Hell if I worked it right I might even be getting laid tonight. Yes I know I am a pig but damn even pigs need to get a little something. Now that was the plan lets just say the plan didn’t work out like it was suppose too. She had to cancel because her son was sick. I have to admit I though she was flaking out but it was true her son was sick. We talk on Sat and at first we were just going to meet up for a coffee again but since she had plans that night we made it for Sunday. Go get some lunch and to go the beach. Ok I can get behind this and enjoy the view to say the least. So I get a phone call Sat night while she is on this out with her friends. Ok this is kind of a good sign that she is into me. I didn’t pick up the call and talk to her. And no I am not playing a game. I just happened to be asleep seems Saturday I drank too much beer and my eyes closed down for the night early. I did text her in the morning to ask what time we were meeting and where we were going to meet up at. But I didn’t hear anything back for a while. Then it comes she send me an Im saying she lost her phone last night and needed my number to call me. It seems that she went out and got really drunk and lost her cell. The one with all the numbers in it. At this point I am thinking that she is going to cancel again but I was wrong. She tells me to meet up right at the place where her night started. That’s cool with me since it just so happened to be right down the street from my place. I get there and right as I am getting out of my car she is pulling up. Oh damn what timing. We make the rounds asking if anyone has found her phone. I know we aren’t going to find it just from the simple fact that it’s one of those pink Razor phones. Oh yea someone has given their girlfriends a brand new phone. After we looked and didn’t find anything we went down to the beach where we had lunch and just talked. It was just good to sit and talk and have a good convo with someone. We kissed at the end of the date and I can’t wait to do that again. Hell it’s been a while since I have had a good date. I can get use to this.
