JAWS

I was considering taking the kids to the redneck riviera (Panama City) during my vacation at the end of next month, but maybe fucking not.

Don’t know where I am going to go, but I won a contest (tied actually with one of the guys I trained recently) at work for a gift certificate on Expedia. Since it looks like we are going to be splitting the prize, that means somewhere around $750. Maybe I will take the kids to Disney World. Have to check prices for tickets, but I know that camping in the park is somewhere around $35 a night, and I can rent a damn SUV for the trip from Armada Vans for about $300 for the week. Will have to start looking I guess.

Fathers

I don’t remember if I posted anything on Father’s Day, but if I did, I know that it had nothing whatsoever to do with Father’s Day. I guess maybe I was scared to dredge up shit that I don’t deal with on a day to day basis.
MY Father’s day was pretty cool, aside from the part where I had to work, but that is nothing unusual. I have worked MOST every holiday for 18 years and learned to live with it, if not get used to it. For some stupid fucking reason, Stephanie and I got married on Memorial Day weekend. That’s right, May 28th. So I get to spend our anniversary weekend fucking working. Anyone that works in the service industry can tell you that Memorial Day is the kickoff for the busiest time of the year, summer. Kids out of school, travelers, etc… My store actually slows down due to the fact that 30% of my business comes from a University, but none of the upper management pays any attention to shit like that, so I get to work just as hard as the rest of them, all through the slowest damn time of the year. Then, when my business starts picking up in September, they start screaming about cutting payroll, and other operating costs, just when I need to be spending the money. Fuck ’em.
Any way, now that I am through with that wild tangent, back to Father’s Day. I was told that when I arrived home, I would have to follow directions. When I arrived home, my daughters gave me a bath, then made me go to bed. Cool, I though, I get a nap. Mo such luck, but it was OK anyhow. After lying there for awhile, they came to get me, and took me to the kitchen, where Father’s Day breakfast was on the table, for dinner. They would have brought me breakfast in bed, but we had a slight accident on Mother’s Day (I actually had that off). I thoroughly enjoyed the attention. The kids all made me cards, and Anna bought a card, but made a picture frame from twigs and twine, and put her picture in it. It remains next to my monitor right now. I am sure it will end up in the box where I keep all of that stuff eventually, but I want to look at it for awhile.
I did manage to call my Dad, and wish him a happy Father’s Day. Had to wait until I was on the way home from work due to the fact that I get there about three hours before anyone wakes up, and by then I am extremely busy.
My Mom and Dad moved back to Georgia last year, which was very nice. I still haven’t seen much of them, as I very rarely go to Atlanta now that I am not commuting there, and they don’t go anywhere very often. They may be coming out to see us Friday, or possibly Saturday for the barbecue. That would be cool. I love my parents very much, but a lot of times feel like we are not very close. Neither of them are very much what you would call kid friendly people. They loved my brother and I, and love their grandchildren just the same, but there are just some people who are made to have kids, and some that are not. In addition to which, I was pretty much a shit head until I moved out for the second or third time. I was an asshole to my brother, too interested in partying to do anything else. Serious fucking mental problems. Once I hit puberty it was all she wrote. Ended up being locked away for six months, dropped out of high school, and pretty much just disappeared, moving in with a friend of mine and his family. I was diagnosed with manic-depression (before it became chic to have it and be called bipolar). All of that before I ever hit sixteen. Fuck bipolar. It means you are crazy you stupid mother fucker. One of the things that I have discovered as I get older is that since I know what my problem is, it makes it easier to deal with. I had serious anger management issues as well. Those are also getting better. Sometimes I just have to keep my fucking mouth shut for awhile. Of course my son knows how to set me off. He and I butt heads constantly. I am trying to learn to deal with his sullen 16 year old attitude. Some days are easier than others, but I realize that he is light years ahead of me when I was that age.
Almost wasn’t going to post this, but what the fuck.

Very Cool

Since the state of Georgia has seen fit to legalize the sale of fireworks, I had to stop at Wal-Mart (Hell yeah) and pick some up for the fourth. Might even fire some off before then. Having a barbecue on Saturday since Stephanie’s sister is going to be in town. Hell, I might even have to fire a couple off tonight. BTW any of the Georgia bloggers that are bored shitless and almost to Alabama is more than welcome to stop in and have a couple (or several) brews and whatever the hell else Stephanie is going to cook. I have to work until at least 3pm on Saturday, but should be home shortly thereafter.

MD.45

Listening to the MD.45 album The Craving. It is pretty damn good. Unfortunately it is the re-mastered version, so Dave Mustaine is doing the vocals rather than Lee Ving. Anyone that knows where I might find an original copy, please send me an email.

Hilton Head

Stephanie and the kids left for Hilton Head this morning, to return on Tuesday afternoon. Don’t have to wait for the kids to be in bed to surf for porn and mp3’s. :p

Actually it just means that I will spend more time at work this week. That is a good thing because they just doubled me up, opening a new store 1.8 miles from mine. It’s hitting me for about 20% of my sales right now. My paycheck is going to suck for a couple of months until they have chased their business back to me. That is one of the benefits of having been in this job for 18+ years, I actually know what I am doing and can pretty much keep a good, stable staff, where this new store has a brand new manager, with mostly brand new employees, rather than someone with experience.

Fear

there’s a sinister feeling brewing
bout a women and her non-stop yap
in a couple weeks she’ll be stewing
bait the hook of a tender trap spend
your money on countless reasons
brick-a-brack that cannot be used
snivel on the ground that she walks on
give an inch and that women wants two
the trouble today with women
the mouth don’t stop
there’s an older one yakity-yack
husband’s credit cards let her shop
there’s a younger one gums keep flappin’
will the jawbone never stop
there’s an older one she need screwin’
never in your life no not me
will the women’s mouth never cease
the trouble today with women
the mouth don’t stop

Samuel Adams

I just have to say that Sam Adams Hefewizen kicks ass. Makes me want to listen to Fear.

Guess I am an agnostic

…but I could have told you that. The part that really surprised was the Satanism >: Guess that is the libetarian in me.

You scored as agnosticism. You are an agnostic. Though it is generally taken that agnostics neither believe nor disbelieve in God, it is possible to be a theist or atheist in addition to an agnostic. Agnostics don’t believe it is possible to prove the existence of God (nor lack thereof).

Agnosticism is a philosophy that God’s existence cannot be proven. Some say it is possible to be agnostic and follow a religion; however, one cannot be a devout believer if he or she does not truly believe.
