Random Thoughts

Perhaps there should be a White House petition asking the NSA to stop spying on us for one day and direct their spying to find the missing Malaysian aircraft; the NSA could probably find it in less than an hour. The petition should be titled, "Stop Watching Us Jack Off For a Day so You Can Find the Plane."

I had a weirdo client insist that he was drafted into the army in 1969. He was born in 1958 (I've seen official documents indicating such). So I asked him, "So you drafted when you were 11 years old?" Thinking that maybe he's just bad with numbers and gets dates mixed up I tried helping him come up with more accurate dates of when he graduated high school and joined the army, but then out of the blue he tells me he was skipped 4 grades when he was in school. Homeboy has the IQ of potato, so that's highly doubtful.

So now I'm left wondering, is this guy delusional? Suffering from mental illness? Or just a lying a**hole? LOL

There is a part of me that keeps telling me to just admit that I believe in Loki and revere Angrboda, but the other part of me keeps telling me to be rational since I have yet to receive any valid signs from any of the Norse deities (or any other, for that matter). I guess I'm back to be truly agnostic since I really don't know what I know/believe.

my brain has a case of the dumb, impossible to make the thinking today...

After taking my first sip of Buffalo Rock Ginger Ale in many years, Silent Hill came splashing back at me. Good times.

Damn, is it Monday already?

I'm thinking of removing the TV from my living room and replacing it with a faux fireplace that I have in storage at my parents.

Do you have a TV in the bedroom? I personally like to keep the TV out of the bedroom, that's where music and magic happen. But I do like the TV, if only because I watch my DVDs through there. So if you replace the TV with the fireplace, where will the TV go? Oh, curious and curiouser.

I do have a satellite receiver and monitor (tucked away beside a bookshelf) in my room, but since the receiver stopped accepting the signal, I've kept it unplugged and have a record player sitting on top of it. The set in my living room is rather bulky but fairly reliable, so I would just place it in storage. I haven't watched TV at home in many months, and the TV and satellite receiver in the living room has also been unplugged for many months.

Removing the TV and replacing it with a faux fireplace will make the living room look much nicer, and once I've saved up enough I will replace the heater in the one I have in storage with something new so it will become functional in the colder months.

I find it amusing that my friend keeps acting like a life-long New Yorker when in fact she's from and still lives in the suburbs. LOL She keeps posting stuff on Facebook like "21 Things You Have to Explain to Out-of-Towners about New York City".

Lady, you live in Westchester - You're the out-of-towner!

I'm not going to mention this to any of my coworkers (and I highly doubt any of them will come across this), but the head supervisor on my shift did say that he and the other supervisors did think that I would make a good candidate for supervisor when the head shift supervisor leaves in August. I'm not necessarily interested in the $2.00 increase in pay but rather the insurance that comes with being classified as full time--even though I work full time I am classified as part-time. I am a bit apprehensive about it as well because I've only been working there for a couple of months and don't yet know all the ins and outs about the place, and I am certain that some of the others who have been working there longer wouldn't appreciate a relatively new hire making more than them.

None of this is guaranteed because there is still the strong possibility that they will pull another supervisor from a different shift.

Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water, because for some reason they didn't have indoor pluming. Jack fell down and cracked his head open, blood was everywhere and he was probably unconscious. Jill being the paragon or goodness that she is just stood there laughing as she recorded the tumbling, then shared it on twitter, youtube and facebook before trying her hand at bringing the pail of water back down which was unsuccessful and she went tumbling downhill as well... Karma's a b!tch...

Dog just got shaved and now he's being an anxious little spaz.  Which is fine, as long as he goes nowhere near the left (post-op) side of my body. :/

Everything going on with me lately is cancer-related; nothing more insightful to post. Sorry.

Now I feel like I should remove the neglected orbital and put the cart of printer and router in its place so that I can open up the space in front of the window in my living room.

Just thinking of next week is making me feel tired...

Anyway. Hello. I've been gone for too long

Drinking coffee and hot tea: I'm starting to feel more like an adult.

Someone really needs to make a skull and spine detachable shower head and hose.

Now that I'm making a steady income, I am seriously doing some web window shopping for a reproduction Victorian sofa and donate the miss-matched hand-me-downs.  I must not be so frivolous with my meager income.

And another design idea: I would like a custom cabinet that creates the illusion that my electric keyboard is actually an upright piano. It wouldn't take much more space than is already taken by my keyboard but it would look a whole lot more classy.

Cosmo does the same thing. He changes personalities depending on the length of his hair lol

I moved the cat's food and water dishes into the kitchen from the 2nd bedroom a week ago but the cat keeps running into the old location during feeding time.  She hasn't quite figured it out yet.   

Why is it that my laptop battery doesn't take as long to charge from 0% than it does my phone to charge from 50%?

Coming home from work I passed by a lighted billboard with a black woman holding out a blank ID card and the caption on the billboard said "Photo ID required to vote." If that isn't overly blatant then I don't know what the f**k is.

I don't know why it bothers me, but I get a little irritated whenever coworkers hit on one of the women in my shift; maybe it's because she's not that pretty (but a sh*t ton prettier than me), is taken (she speaks of her boyfriend all the time), and is just a more bubbly and timid version of my personality. I'm guessing the reason why is because she is thin--she has even stated that she has gotten more male attention after having lost a lot of weight.

I shouldn't be bothered because none of the coworkers that hit on her are what I would find attractive, but I guess it does make me feel somewhat ignored and confirms everything I keep saying.

I feel like walking around home depot and looking at various cuts of wood, and thinking about things that I could actually do if I had the tools but not actually get anything... Then look at various lengths of wire... maybe its the boredom talking

Bridezilla and Groomzilla sent me a birth announcement for their son, who was born 2 months ago.  Was it really necessary for them to mail out birth announcements when they had already plastered millions of pics of the kid all over Facebook and Instagram?  We get it - you had a kid. Big woop dee doo! LOL
