He's Like A Detuned Radio

You are a sock.

You are a cozy, fuzzy, warm-hearted person. A lot of your friends describe you as a hopeless romantic. You fall for the opposite sex very easily. But be careful, because usually you don't know what you are getting into, and because you are very sensitive, you can get hurt... especially in early relationships. Also, don't exclude the cold-hearted from your "want-list", because they just might be looking for a kind person to warm up their heart.... or a sock to warm up their feet.

Damn...I wanted to be toilet paper.

The next time will be different, I'll be prepared and it won't catch me by surprise. Next time, that motherfucker is going down and I'm going to be the one to do it. Lousy goalpost. I went man-to-man with a goalpost and got my ass kicked. More accurately, it was my hip and pelvis with dull aching pains along my quads. A nice elliptical bruise, 3 x 1.5 inches, I'd say. Totally mashed is my hip.

They've stuck me with a nice desk job at work, keeping me off of my feet which is nice. Looks like I'll be sticking with the data entry for a while. We won our first soccer game yesterday. 6-0. Pure grit and moxie.

Leader of B.C. sect flees in polygamy case

I don't really know if anyone was interested in the "cult" article that I had previously posted but there is a Canadian connection in this story. If you're interested and all that...

So thanks to the new contract that OPSEU has negotiated with the Ontario Government, I'll be making an extra $0.83/hour. Which will end being another $475 or so...not bad, but it's good to finally be a member of the double-digit hourly wage club.

The invites have been sent out, if you didn't get one let me know. I have a feeling some of the addresses I used may not be checked too often.

So I figure I should have another Canada Day party since the last one, 2 years ago, went so well. Sarcastic or not, I'm not really sure. Chilling around the pool, staying cool, etc. I guess I'll send out one of those fancy evites by the end of the week.

You better be coming back for the long weekend. That's right, I'm talking about you.

I don't know what's been bothering me lately but it seems that as the days go by, I choose to see the worst aspects of society and humanity.

"It was a very unfortunate and senseless thing," said Wilford Penny, 73, who last month completed a 6-year term as Linden's mayor. "But I don't think there was anything racial about it. These guys were drinking, and this guy (Johnson) liked to dance. I'm not surprised when they get to drinking and use the n-word. The black boy was somewhere he shouldn't have been, although they brought him out there."

Why can't they distill OK Computer into a syringe and let me inject into my veins? Oh wait, they can. It's called heroin.

Two more:
"Five gang members, including a man with ties to a white supremacist group, set fire to a Near-Southside home last month to keep a black family from moving in, police and fire investigators said Wednesday."

"...in which more than 120 rounds were fired at a vehicle driven by an unarmed suspect..."

The terrorists have now gone too far.

Don't mess with patty day.

Just read the link.

I haven't posted anything in a while because simply, very little has happened to me that requires me to use this outlandish piece of technology.

Work is incredibly dull. The summer is already a quarter over and I feel I've accomplished nothing at work. The days go by melting into each other, I eagerly wait any e-mail that gets sent my way, in the hope that it might be some work. In past summers, there's always been some busy work to keep me occupied. Well, all of that has either been transferred to another permanent staff member or is now done solely electronically. And plans for future surveys, planning is something I do well, have all mysteriously died off. My sneaking suspicion is that there is a fear of planning anything large just in case a strike might happen. Oh well, I guess at some point there's only so much Internet radio you can listen to. I haven't reached it yet.

So I joined a gym. 2 1/2 weeks ago. That's right, I never thought it would happen but I actually got off my ass and started working out. And I've actually noticed a difference in this short time. It's been a good constant in my life as other events seem to be erratically bouncing around. Plus it's a good safeguard against going straight home after work and sleeping on the couch.

Rubbing people the wrong way. What is it about certain individuals who you dislike for unknown reasons? There's this guy at work who I can't stand but it's difficult for me to describe exactly what it is that I hate.

The summer concert season looks amazing. I don't even know where to begin...

Weezer, The Pixies, Pearl Jam, Coldplay, Green Day, Jimmy Eat World, The Dears, Modest Mouse, Metric, Broken Social Scene and maybe some Buck 65 and The Go! Team and many more...

How about a Nine Inch Nails/Queens of the Stone Age tour? Giggidy, Giggidy, Gig.

I'm definitely making up for not being around next summer.
