Wow, this work thing gets to be more of a pain in the ass everyday. Tomorrow is real good. I have to drive to Minnesota for a meeting. A two-hour meeting. It will take me approximately two & a half hours to get there. Anyone above a 2nd grade math skill can tell that I will be driving for five hours to attend a two-hour meeting. Now, imagine working in that much stupidity EVERY FUCKING DAY. Now maybe you can tell why I am constantly sick of my job.

Last night was another joyous weather event. We were under a tornado watch until midnight for some reason. Apparently it was supposed to storm or something. It didn’t, unless you consider two claps of thunder and some rain a storm. I don’t. Minnesota got hit once again, which is just fine, keep that shit over there and out of my state.

I’m somewhat bored with my page lately, nothing to really update. I need a new Internet project to start working on, something fun and challenging. I’ll have to put my thinking cap on for this one. Shit, I don’t know where I put it.

Shit, it’s Sunday the 13th. Oh wait, wrong fucking day. You know, I saw something rather disturbing today. A problem that I feel needs to be addressed immediately. Old men who go outside without their shirts on. Why do you do this? There is no need for you to be outside mowing your lawn without a shirt on. Nobody wants to see your 60 year old beer gut or your saggy nipples grandpa, so put a T-shirt on and spare me the show.

On the brighter side, I did see something kind of cool this weekend. Actually Friday night around 12:30am (technically Saturday morning, but luckily I’m not technical). I saw the Northern Lights for the first time in my life. They were extremely bright and were basically going like waves in the sky. It was a somewhat greenish color of light shooting through the sky. It was really damn cool. Luckily I was sober or I would have been really fucking freaked out over that shit. If you’ve never seen them, check out this site for some cool pictures of what they look like.

It’s about time Friday got here. I get sick of all those other stupid days getting in the way of a good weekend, don’t you? By now you’ve probably thought I won the Powerball and headed for the hills. Well, no such luck there. I didn’t even win one dollar this time. Two tickets matched, one in Missouri and one in Pennsylvania, so that wouldn’t be me.

I went biking tonight, the last quarter-mile or so, my left pedal fell off. Have you ever rode a bike for a quarter-mile with only one pedal? It’s very tricky let me tell you. My right leg feels very strong now, luckily I didn’t’ turf it or anything, which is what I was afraid of.

I finished my 3rd Bass site finally. Actually I think it was done Wednesday, but I can’t really remember. Maybe I’m starting to lose it. Now I am going to be bored on here, no pages to do. I don’t foresee redoing this page at all, and if I do it will be like a new banner, or different color buttons, but the layout is here to stay I believe.

Another day another dollar as the saying goes. I think it should be another day another headache as that seems to be the way it’s been going lately. Nobody won the Powerball Saturday night, so I’ve still got a chance. A one in 120,526,770 chance. So I guess I won’t be quitting that job just quite yet. I have won $7 on the last two times I played, so maybe my luck is finally warming up. Of course that was probably all the luck I’ll have on the lottery.

Not a whole lot going on other than that. Now that the 4th is over, things seem to be getting a little more normal around here. Asshole neighbors aren’t blowing off fireworks and shit like that now. The weather is back to comfortable again. It was so damn hot and humid over the weekend I thought I was in Florida or something. In case you thought I wouldn’t bitch about the heat, just remember, I bitch about everything. That’s my job.

I saw 8 Mile and Old School this weekend. I think they both will be added to my DVD collection pretty soon.

Well, another day done. It’s Saturday and I didn’t win the Powerball as planned. There were so many good things that I could have done with 200 million. I had planned on contributing to several charities of my choosing such as; Best Buy, Ferrari, Porsche and Lamborghini to name a few. Oh well, everything happens for a reason I guess. I’m sure some 90-year-old won who is just going to die and leave it all to her cat in less than a year. Motherfucker is probably rigged anyway.

I noticed the fireworks stopped a lot earlier than they did last night. It’s one of those things you want to go outside and say hey fuckers, that was yesterday, get your drunk ass back in the house.
I went golfing today. Not exactly the best outing I have been on. Went to a new small 9 hole course around here. When I called for the Tee Time they told me 2:12. Now that is not a normal time, usually they do it in like 10 to 15 minute intervals, meaning they overbooked. On at least three occasions we had one of the employees drive up to us and ask if we could hurry up a little. Gee…should I try using both hands when I hold my club? What the fuck are these people thinking? Overbook the course and then bitch at us because you’re backed up. Fuck you and your pissy little course.

You know, for a day that we are supposed to celebrate our independence, we all seem to do the exact same shit. Let’s see, what did you do today? Had a cookout, got drunk and lit off some fireworks. Just like everyone else aside from the homeless and the Amish. Pretty independent there Bucky.

Speaking of Independence Day, what is it anyway? Well, it’s America’s Birthday; turning 227 today. What did you buy America? Did you even say Happy Birthday? Shame, shame. May the loud noise of your drunken neighbors shooting off fireworks keep you awake until the wee hours of the morning.

I am currently in the process of updating my 3rd Bass fan page. The style is going to be very similar to this site’s, with the upper menu and other menu’s on the sides of specific pages. Now that I know what I’m doing, it should be done a little quicker than this one was.

Whoa, tomorrow is the 4th of July already. Who can believe that shit. Well, I can because my stupid fucking neighbor seems to think he should be blowing off some of his fireworks tonight. Speaking of fireworks, what the hell is up with these firework explosions? Not my dumbass neighbor, I mean the shit in Florida with the truck that exploded and killed five people and now a warehouse in Texas blew the hell up and three are missing. I guess there’s another profession I won’t be going into.

I can’t fucking believe that we are one day away from July 4th and our terror level hasn’t been raised yet. Usually we raise that for every holiday. Maybe they are finally tired of crying wolf. Usually they do that shit to scare us out of having fun or something. It could be that they just figure with these two explosions going on that we will be too scared to do anything. Add in the porch collapse in Illinois and you’ve got some paranoid party goers. Who needs a terror warning when you’ve got people scared to go outside already?

Not a whole lot of anything going on today. It’s almost midnight and I’ve finally finished my page. Hopefully it was worth the two weeks or so of time that I put into it. I like the new look. I can even handle the new color scheme as well. Hopefully all the links will work, considering that I’m done a couple of days ahead of my schedule.

I am just itching for tomorrow so I can be done with work for three days. It seems these four-day weeks drag a lot faster than the five-day ones, but who knows. I am so sick of being there, that could be the problem. If I could think straight I’d actually write more, but all I’m thinking about is sleep.

Wow, first of July already. I haven’t been updating the blog at all. Been too busy. Too fucking busy. Had company up here from Friday afternoon to Monday morning, so there went the weekend. I did manage to get on the computer off and on over the weekend and put together a rather snazzy new look for the site. I am still working on eight pages so it probably won’t be up until this weekend, but it is looking pretty nice to me. Hopefully it will load up quicker than the old site used to. I have a new menu system on there which is on every one of the main pages, and the back buttons are now at the top of the pages. I can’t really explain it, it’s just something you’d have to see.

Today at work I put up Back to School. Yes, apparently July 1st is a good day to set up back to school. Fuck the 4th, we’re skipping right into school time. No need to worry, there is still a whole two months of vacation left before school even needs to be a worry, but why not start shopping early for it. Right? Maybe I can do Halloween in August this year. That would be fun. I tell ya, work is nothing but a shithole as of late, but that’s a whole other story.

Here I am for another day. The page is finally done, at least for now. I got the pictures out of here for the meantime. I am going to be working on either a flash or javascript application to view the pictures. I plan on turning the About Me page into another section of the page and put more personal information into it. As you can see, I’ve put my blog link on the side and also links to all my past blogs there also. I have cut the page info from close to 11MB of stuff to under 800KB, so I’m hoping it will load faster on older browsers.

Last night was an active one. Tornadoes all over. Most of them stayed in Minnesota and didn’t cross over into our state. Buffalo Falls, MN was hit extremely hard by the tornado and the rainfall was treacherous. Some spots picked up in excess of 10″ last night alone, not to mention it rained the past two nights before also. Not a good night to be on a computer that’s for sure. We didn’t really pick up much at all as far as bad weather. It did end up lightning and thundering somewhere around 2 a.m., but other than that, we got off pretty good.

Holy shit, I’m starting to get real sparse on this lately. I am still working on the site, which I would say is only about 30% done so far. I am rebuilding the entire site on the new editor so that I can have it there and I will be able to modify it at will when I need to. That means that when I upload the new site, it will be strictly cosmetic and no new content will be on here. I am doing a few new things I like on there and hope it turns out ok. I am doing it this way so I can learn the ins and outs of the program and hopefully do better things with it in the future.

Today was the release date for the Harry Potter book. Our store did a promotion where for every $50 you spent you got a coupon, and when you got six coupons you could get a free Harry Potter book. Sounds good so far right? Well, we got the books in last Monday and were told not to open the boxes and lock them in an office until today. We didn’t open the boxes at all until today. That’s when I get the phone call at home telling me that there are no Harry Potter books in the boxes, but instead they are weather radios. Oh yeah, and there are customers here wanting their free books. When I got off the phone and finished saying fuck repeatedly, I called Wal Mart and asked if they would let me buy 20 copies of the book, to which they agreed. I ended up going to Wal Mart and dropping close to $350 for the books and running them to the store. Not a bad start to the morning considering that I hadn’t even had breakfast or a shower. Is Mc Donald’s hiring?

What a shitty day it was today. Not only was it a Monday, that would have been bad enough. Nope, it was inventory also. I got to work about 6:50am, and didn’t get out of there until 6:30pm. Damn near a 12 hour day. I only took about a 20 minute lunch also, which just adds to the day. I think with the lunch it came out to roughly 11 hours. The main problem was that the crew wasn’t exactly the greatest one we’ve had. The crew usually looks like they just do this when they aren’t at the circus, but this time they looked normal. I thought when I saw them that it would be over even quicker because they looked like they could get shit done. I was wrong. On a normal day, they would have been done and out the door by noon, today it was somewhere around 6. How the fuck do you do that? I knew we should have just had it on Friday the 13th.

We had a great weather weekend here. Aside from the funnel clouds on Friday, Saturday and Sunday were beautiful. I got to play golf on Sunday, then when I got home from there, I put a screen door up. That wasn’t the funnest thing, and it took me damn near all day to finish that up. I was online for about a half hour last night, pretty much long enough to check my e-mail before going to bed. I think tonight will be a repeat of that. I’m hoping to get working on the page layouts for my site in the near future. Someday.
