Month: December 2010

Counting this entry… I’ve done 22 entries this year. That isn’t even two a month (shit, I totally skipped out doing one in February.)
So what does the New Year mean or bring? Well, I hate to tell you, but with the exception of a new calendar and a hangover, absolutely nothing… well aside from a few broken resolutions.

Resolutions are nothing more than lies that we tell ourselves to make up for years of shitty behavior. I’m going to quit smoking, I’m going to lose weight, I’m going to drink less, I’m going to be nice, I’m going to stop masturbating on the patio… blah blah fuckin’ blah.

The only resolution I make any more on December 31st is that I am going to put my new calendar up before February gets here…. And that’s all I plan on doing this year as well. Besides, I don’t need resolutions to keep me busy, I already have more than enough. I already plan on working on the basement, but up here on the main level, my bathroom is in need of a little gutting and makeup. There is no medicine cabinet and there is a pantry type built in that smells like very old wood. That is the final closet in this house that smells like that. The kitchen cupboards smelled like that, and so did my closet and the hall closet. All of that has been replaced so far. Someday I’ll have to throw some pictures up I suppose. My main plan is to rip out the pantry type closet in the bathroom completely and have a larger vanity and a medicine cabinet. With the exception of the towels, everything in that cabinet will fit in the medicine cabinet.
So I guess that is my resolution if you can call it that… keep fixing my house up. I think I should have my own damn show on HGTV or DIY by now dammit. Where is my show?

On the plus side here, nobody… and I mean NOBODY said “See You Next Year” to me. I am so glad that I didn’t have to hear that unoriginal bullshit this year. In fact, now that I think about it, I haven’t heard that since I worked in retail. Imagine that.

In order to enjoy the title of the blog, you will have to disregard the fact that I bought a 32” LCD television for my bedroom about six months ago…

If you’re a longtime reader of my blog, you may remember my ShopNBC disaster of purchasing an LCD television back in 2006. I purchased some piece of shit television with a weird ass name brand of Protron or Spectron or some weirdness. Regardless of what it was called, it might as well have been called “shit”, because that’s what it was. Since it was over four years ago, I don’t remember all the details, aside from what I wrote in the blog back then, I do seem to remember it cost me $1,899 for 42” of non-working LCD, which I did luckily get back from those bastards… but I hold no ill will; oh wait, yes I do.

Anyway, four years later, I have decided to once again attempt to replace my living room television with an LCD. This time I went larger and opted for a 60” LCD television. I purchased locally, and a recognizable brand name, no odd named bullshit from a slick talking asshole on a home shopping network. I have had the television for almost a week now, so I am hoping this one makes it well past the eight day mark the shitty one did. I am counting on it doing so, since I bought a sweet stand for it (not really feeling comfortable mounting a 60” to my wall) and I upgraded my cable package to the HD bundle. HD is so fucking awesome; I can watch utter bullshit and be amazed because it is so crystal clear.

What other things that are going on around here? We had a major snowstorm last weekend, well over a foot of snow dumped on us in one day, and now we are looking at round two to hit tomorrow. We are looking at close to 9” tomorrow now. I think winter has more than made it’s point, time to move on; it’s not even the first day of winter.

The pool table project is looking to become a basement remodel project… more to come on that shit as it develops.
