an indirect butt-fucking, and i don’t mean the gay kind

Oh how karma and the world hate me. For once I do nothing wrong and yet I get the brunt of the aftershock. Let me get to the story to fill in the blanks.

After work last night I went over to my coworker’s house with one of the assistant managers to hang out. I ended up crashing over there and coming home this morning. The house was empty so I went on with my usual shit. Around noon or so I call my mom to see where she was and such. About an hour or so later she comes home with my dad (both were out shopping) and they call me down. At first I thought they were going to ask me about what I was doing last night so I was hesitant. I ask why and my mom says it wasn’t because I was in trouble, so I went down. Both of them were at the bottom of the stairs and I figured something juicy happened. My mom starts off by telling me not to say anything or rub it in which automatically pointed me in the direction of my brother. She then went on to tell me he did something stupid (go figure). The stupid thing he did this time was get pulled over by the cops, for speeding, in his friend’s car, with his permit, in another county. What. A. Fucking. Dumbass. Being me I said some smartass comment which made my mom reinforce the point about not making fun of him for his stupid decision.

About an hour after that he and his dumb friend come and my parents go out to talk to them. I’ll admit that I tried to listen in from an open window but failed. I did notice, however, that my brother has kept all his detention slips, write-ups, and the lovely citation/suspension notice on his wall. He does a lot of stupid shit yet is allowed to continue hanging out with his retarded friends. Back when I was his age I got slammed for the most trivial shit. I get pretty pissed about it and I have even told my parents to get harder on him but they do nothing. Although today this would only be part of the reason I am pissed.

In the last few days I have been planning an overhaul for my PC. It has been a long time coming since my current rig is a few years old and the only new things are the video card and power supply. I have spend time on Newegg finding the gear to push me higher and have found a decent setup for about $800. My plan was to replace everything and then take my current video card and power supply and throw them int he new box to save cash and keep them since I just bought them a month ago. To pay for it I planned to use the cash my mom planned to pay me back from when I had to give my parents all my graduation money to buy my car. Since my parents bought my brother’s car my mom planned to pay me back. That totals $1800. I would pay for the upgrade with what I needed and then throw the rest in my savings account. A perfect plan, but now there is a problem. Since money is tight she has been holding off on paying me back. To make things worse she now has to pay for the speeding ticket and any other payment due to my brother’s stupidity. My feelings now are really pissed off at him. I was feeling good about everything and now he has to go in and fuck it all up. The worst part all is that his court date is a month or so away which means I can either burn my current cash or wait who-knows-how-long and get my money from my mom and then have the current deals on the hardware go away. I’m fucked either way it seems. I just want to punch someone.

And as if this weekend couldn’t get any worse I have an English essay on character analysis to bullshit, study for a political science test, and prepare myself for a presentation in history.

Thank you world, for fucking me in the ass.

nuke ‘em

I have been pretty laid back lately. School and work keeping me occupied and all. The last few days of work have been ok I guess. On Tuesday the boss had me hanging up Halloween crap. She told the assistant manager that night that I shouldn’t be socializing because it is delaying me from getting work done. I showed her wrong by getting it all done before closing on time. Other than that work is the same old stuff.

School on the other hand has been boring the shit out of me. I can’t seem to concentrate (or stay awake in some classes). I got papers due, tests coming up, and other crap and I just don’t give a shit. I am so unmotivated this semester.

In more interesting news Duke Nukem 3D on Xbox Live Arcade owns like it should and Civilization IV: Colonization is hard as hell because I have no goddamn clue what I am doing. I’m stuck in The Witcher and waiting for a patch for STALKER: Clear Sky so I can start over. I hate being stuck.

That’s about it for now.

in the crapper we are

Life has been fucking crap lately. Lame shit has happened and the aftermath annoys me. Hopefully things get better this coming week.

not so clear skies

The new STALKER game is crazy. People getting shot left and right. All fun and games until you get mowed down by a machine gun.

As for work and school, long and boring. The weekend sucked because I had three straight days of work and two days of the three were eight hour shifts. Too fucking long. Crazy people too. I blame the full moon. Speaking of stupid shit, my two middle classes were canned for the day so I was left waiting for two hours for my last class. Fucking lame.

the not so free weekend

This is the first weekend since school started that is taken up by work, which sucks. My nights are gone and all I have is my morning and afternoon to screw around or get work done. Lame I say.

Yesterday I finished up World in Conflict. Epic game. The story was great and it kept me engaged the entire way through. The last mission really set the stage for an expansion or a sequel which should rock.

As for right now I am in my web design class way ahead of the teacher for the current assignment so I am playing checkers with some guy in Russia. I shall kick his commie ass.

way out of it

I haven’t had much sleep in the last three to four nights and my habits of staying out until the sun almost doesn’t help. I hope to fully rest up today and prepare myself for tomorrow. Work has been blah worthy for the most part. School is even more.

I need to catch up on TV but my suspended from school brother and mom are hogging it. To top it off she got locked out of the house this morning and yelled at my window to wake me up early. Not cool.

hold on to something! wait, what? OH SHIIIIIIIIIIT

Early Saturday morning was pretty crazy. Pretty much the craziest thing done by a few of us since high school. Not going to go in to details but it was fun and quite the rush.

As for the rest of yesterday I did mainly nothing. I was pretty out of it from the morning. I ended up taking a few naps throughout the day. The only interesting thing I did was play some World in Conflict in which I blew shit up. That was fun.

Today I need to read some shit for school because I have a few quizzes tomorrow for English, political science, and history. Should not be fun. I also work today which sucks but can’t help that. Oh well.

merc, hero, painter, worker, sleeper, learner, student, winner

The last few days have been interesting and also really busy, hence the lack of anything. The long weekend was nice. Mainly just played the shit out of Mercenaries 2. Tuesday work went by decently. Photo being crazy like usual. Hung out with Will that night and the next morning was school. I basically slept through them. During the first class I got a message from Kathy asking if she could borrow my Heroes season 1 DVDs. I said sure thing and told her I would drop by after my classes. Since my political science class was canceled for the day I got to head home early and picked up the DVDs and then went to Kathy’s house. We ended up watching a few episodes before I had to go to work which was cool and a nice change from just being bored at home. Work was another story. I had a list of dumb shit to do such as painting garbage cans and sorting chips by color. Yeah, fucking retarded. After work Andrew, Will, and myself hung out and played Magic. Today I finished up Mercs 2 and then Andrew stopped by. I showed him the game and let him blow shit up.

Tomorrow I plan to breeze through my classes and then stop by work to get my paycheck. After that it will either be more Mercs or something else. We’ll see I guess.
