My uncle died a few days ago... I didn't know him very well so I'm not all that moved, but I did learn just how crazy he was.

For starters, he apparently is/was married to a 27 year old chinese girl that he told nobody about (he was in his 70s.).

He stock piled massive amounts of guns, ammunition (including 6 live hand grenades), and canned food in anticipation of the catastrophy that was to be Y2K. What a pity that shit was never put to good use.

Though I did not get to read them, he had extensive documentation of who killed J.F.K. and why.

He was abducted by aliens, not once, not twice, but three times.

Now I am left to wonder.... WHY DIDN'T I SPEND MORE TIME WITH THIS MAN!?!?!?!?!

SURPRISE! I turn 26 today.

I'm not doing anything special either.
I wont be going barhopping in search of as many free drinks as I can find.

I'll just be doing my usual Monday night routine. Coffee shop Scrabble, and then my beloved pub-quiz. It will be a nice and relaxing and uneventful night, which is all I really want.

Happy Birthday to me.

I think I may have ruined my life saturday night. Well, at least for awhile. Stupid Stupid Stupid. One stupid choice can really flip your world upside down...... *sigh*

Special thanks to the Lumley Family, for being kind enough to die 100 years ago. Without their eternal vanity, I would have never been able to be photographed with their grossly oversized family monument, and this poorly made greeting would have never been possible. Thanks Guys!

I don't even need to speak German to know this is pretty fucking fantastic!




In other news, this really nice older lady who shops late a night came back in the store because some drunk kid tried to steal her cart of groceries. I went out to remove him from the property, and he got beligerant (spelling?) with me. I was in no mood for that mess, and even though I know better, I got right in his face and told him he needed to leave ASAP. Well, he took a swing at me, I dodged it, and he fell to the ground. Then the cops came and took him away.

My employer gave me a $5 gift certificate for my troubles...... I felt like a 1st grader getting a gold star for behaving really well in class. $5??? Why bother? Why not just say "Thanks for risking bodily harm for the sake of a customer, now get back to work."

I've been playing a lot of scrabble lately.

My vocabulary does not seem to be improving.

example-
I was playing scrabble. Trailing the entire game.

I was down to my last 4 letters.

T - U - C - N

Yep.

cunt... triple word.
I win!

What if I had been playing my grandmother?

I would have lost.

watch this

Things are getting back to normal. The dynamic is back. It's a good dynamic.

I'm sitting here, kind of anxious to go to work. It's saturday night, and instead of being annoyed because I want to go out and have fun, I'm actually looking forward to work. strange

I didn't win the lottery today. I didn't play the lottery either, so I kind of saw this coming.

I'd much rather embrace the love than be bitter.

Happy Valentines day.




EDIT.... Twelve hours and the lonely chapagne has been flowing. I think I'd rather be bitter.
