So my old insurance company is really pissing me off. They will not return my emails, and since they pertain to accessing to site to check on my HRA funds there, my hands are tied. I am going to have to give them a call and bash some skulls.
Nick and i are likely going to watch Pi tonight, its an excellent movie.
On another note, im pretty stressed out lately; due to a fuck up that i did not cause, i might have to pay in for taxes this year. Work is slow, which would be fine if i had another source of income, but i don't, and several unexpected expenses have my worrying for a bit, im sure that it will be fine, but its still a hassle. Add to that, the state of the economy, our police state, general apathy about changing anything, and even less real power to do so. Its enough to drive this man to drink.
On the plus side, cradle of filth this weekend, its about time i got out and did something that i enjoy doing instead of sitting around and getting fat.
Speaking of getting fat: Even though i am not as big of a beef eater as i used to be, i still indulge about once a month or so. I made some beef jerky from some ground beef that was sitting in my freezer for about 6 months since i really did not want to throw it out. It tasted great, but when i took the trays off to rotate them, there were huge amounts of dried fat on the coutnertop and boy was it a pain to get that cleaned up. If that is just the 'shake' from setting the thing down, i can just imagine how much is in there and what it is doing to my body - fat indeed. Suffice it to say, im glad that i mostly eat ground turkey, chicken, and venison (though that is almost gone - three deer do not go as far as they used to). I might just cut beef out of my diet entirely, and if i do get a hunger for it, get the super lean shit.
In keeping with what i said a few posts ago about posting what i am cooking.
Venison ala Wisconsin:
Oil pan with olive oil.
10-16 oz Venison steak
2 'taters' finely diced
1 onion, chopped
1/4 cup garlic
2 teaspoons garlic powder
a few dashes of fish sauce
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
Set to medium hear, cover with a cover smaller than the pan, add enough water around the lid to make a tight seal. When done, shred some gorogonzola over the whole mes: not too much or it will ruin it.
Remove the venison when it is done or be prepared to slow cook the whole thing for a good hour...unless you like your venison chewy.

I have decided that i am going to post my recipies here of whatever i might decide to cook, since people, at least the IRL ones that dont know about this blog, keep begging me for them. Cruel fucker eh.
Chicken with Tubers:
3 Medium 'Taters" chopped to 1/2 inch cubes
2 Medium carrots cut into 1/4 inch slices
3 large cloves of garlic, sliced thing
1 medium onion Diced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 large chicken breast
1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
1 teaspoon chipotle sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce
Add about 1/4 cup of water and set to medium, cover, cook until 'taters' are tender, i suspect it will be about 45 minutes, possibly more.
Listening to the 'Beyond the Veil: cd by Tristania....pretty damn good.

So, i was watching Scrubs just now, 5x03, where J.D. as turning 30 and was freaking out because he had not accomplished any life goals.
It made me start to think that, although Im reasonably happy with my life so far, i never really ever set any life goals.
I mean, Ive bought a house, i moved to a foreign country (Canada, for about a year), visited half of the states and a third of Canada, won a full scholarship to DeVry (and quit after a year since it was a shit school), am attempting to learn a foreign language (Russian), and am trying to pick up blacksmithing, i never really put it into my head that there are certain things that i want to do.
For most of the things that i accomplished, I just kind of decided, or an opportunity presented itself and i took it. So, i have come up with a short list of things to do before i am thirty 1,949 days from tomorrow until the 30th anniversary of my birth. just a bit over 5 years.
1) Finish learning Russian, at least to conversational level
2) Pay off my house
3) Buy a motorcycle and take a tour out west
4) Visit Russia
Thats all i have so far, if I can accomplish 3 out of 4 i would consider it a success.
Maybe i never set goals because that meant that i actually had to try, and most of the time, i never had to try at anything to succeed.
I was a 3.6 student in high school, i could have been 4.0 but i never studied a day in my life, never liked authority, never liked the status quo. I would make things difficult on purpose, but they put up with it because i was/am smarter than average. All i had to do was write a stupid little essay and get a 32 on my ACTs to get that scholarship. The school that it was for was ran more like a business than an institution of learning, so i left and went to Canada.
Ever since then, i have barely tried to succeed at anything at all in my life, I rely upon my natural intelligence and caginess to get me through, it could just be that i do not see the point, we all will die some day and no matter how hard one tried, they are just going to get fucked over by someone in the end anyways.
I did put forth some effort when i bought this house and remodeled it. Actually, that is one of the few things that i have ever done, work-wise, that i ever truly enjoyed, maybe it was because it was for me, or maybe it was because i was able to take some pride in the I completely transformed an old shit house into something pretty nice, and its not over.
I think that, as i age, i am starting to want to put some effort into things, maybe not so much work, but things that make me happy, like learning new things and trying new things; things that make me grow as a person, that would be a good start.

Fuck. BlueSoleil. So, i wanted to put some new ringers on my phone, with my BlueSliel bluetooth adapter. But, of course, it does not work; i can remove pics and sounds and shit from the phone but i cannot upload anything, it hands after the first data burst, so unless its less than maybe 10 or 20 k its not going on the phone. All of this stemmed from wanting to put the dethklok theme as my ringer, since as i have gotten a new phone, my "Her Ghost in the Fog" ringer is not available. Anyways, i am going to have to find some sort of way into tricking it to work.
Cradle of Filth in 6 days, w00t.

Damn, stayed up far later than i had planned on and had to drive to Fleet Farm for tires on 4 hours of sleep with a raging headache.
Fucking things cost 180 bucks, plus the 60 for the rims. Oh, and i found out that contrary to what the HR person at work assured me of, i will now have to pay a penalty on the 401K money that i took out for a down payment on my house. Rough luck i guess.
On the bright side, my friend from KY might be comming here to stay for a while, that would be nice. Uber nice girl, am looking forward to it, should it happen.
Off to go make my house presentable....Been meaning too for a week anyways.
