I'm a broke mofo

Damn... I have no money.

I went on a spending spree during Christmas and didn't keep track of everything. So now I'm finding reciepts that I never entered into my Money program and bills that I forgot to pay and some stuff is entered wrong and I don't know what else.

This sucks. I get paid today, but it's all going to the rent. I hope I have enough money in my savings to cover it.

But I'm going to get my check in a few minutes and hopefully I'll get my review and see if I have a raise or not. I hoping for a dollar, but, we'll see. Wish me luck!

30 Second movies

I found this site the other day called the 30 Second Bunny Theater. Basically it re-enacts famous movies in 30 seconds with bunnies. Pretty funny stuff. I've added it to my links along with Newgrounds.

Newgrounds is a site that shows Flash games and animations that anyone can submit. Some of them are pretty funny, some are really stupid and some are just plain disturbing. But be warned, most of this is geek humor so you probably won't get some of it unless you're into old Nintendo games and Adult Swim cartoons.

Here's an interesting little song.

You can tell I'm pretty bored. I'm almost looking forward to going back to work just so I can have something to do.

My Vacation

You have to wonder about some people.

This guy who lives in the building next to me comes zooming into the parking lot with his truck and almost hits this group of black guys standing there. So they say something to him and he starts calling them the "N" word and starts barking at them. And I'm sitting there thinking This guys an idiot.

So that group of black guys beat the shit out of him. And I was like yea, kick that guys ass. And then the cops came and they all ran except the one that got beat. I guess they made a police report and left. Then this dumbass starts barking at some black guys again. I guess someone just called the cops on him because a few minutes later, they came back, gave him a sobriety test and they arrested him.

All this on Christmas Eve.... you gotta wonder....

Anyway, my christmas was pretty good, we went to my brothers house and ate dinner there. It was pretty fun and stuff. I got an electric kettle, which is pretty cool because it boils water pretty fast and comes in real handy. I also got a Simon card for $25. I think I'm just going to buy a CD... I'm thinking Outkast.

-Vacation-

Yep... I'm on vacation. I've been on it since last Friday and you know what? I haven't done a damn thing. Here it is Thursday already and I've only left the apartment twice, and that was just to get some food. Part of it was because of the little bag of weed that I bought, but that was gone by Monday night when my two neighbors barged in and forced a beer into my hands and got me drunk. But Tuesday and Wednesday was just me sitting here playing Civilization IV all day.

Part of me feel guilty because I had all these plans and haven't done any of them. The other part is like "Hey it's my vacation, I'm supposed to relax!".

Oh well...

Anyway, check this out

There's this thing called the Dofi-blog, It's all in japanese, but if you scroll down a litte, you'll see this weird little applet called Hell of Sand. It looks pretty weird, but if you play with it for just a little while, you'll see how cool it is.

There's a good description of it here and here

Have fun...

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas everybody!

Short weekend

Well, I had to work yesterday because of my day off during the week. It was optional, but I need the money.

Friday, I got home from work and my neighnor(gay alky) asked me to take him to work. So I did and he told me Budweiser is $9.99 for an 18-pack at H.E.B. (I love that store). Apparently that was the big news around town because I'd heard that a couple times that day. So, of course, I went to H.E.B. after I dropped him off and got some tacos from the restaurant around the corner. When I came home there were a whole bunch of cop cars in the parking lot.

Apparently, two guys grabbed two 12 year old girls and forced them into their apartment and rpaed one of them. The other one got away. That's fucked up!! It's all over the local news right now. This neighborhood is going downhill fast.

So yesterday I came home from work and of course my neighbor is at home drinking and I still had most of that 18-pack from the night before so I drank with him all night. Then after the bud-light was gone I had one of his malt liquor beers and the next thing I know, it's 7am and I'm sleeping on his couch. Of course he was still up anddrinking.

So I made some coffee and we went to my place and watched tv and smoked a joint. And he just kept saying over and over again" Them white folk are stupid" anytime they were on TV. It cracked me up.


"What are they building, they're crazy, them white folk"

(To a scene of people picking up seashells)"What are they doing, picking up rocks? Them white folk are stupid"

"Look at them... they're stupid"

He only stayed for an hour or so. Then I played some Battlefield 2, got a pretty good score as a commander, and wrote in my blog.

So here I am now and.... well.... there's not too much going on anymore. I have a nasty case of heartburn, I have to watch clothes, change my headlight on my car, and go shopping for food but at this pace, I don't know if any of thats going to happen.

Day Off

Got the day off today. It's too cold to work. The temperature was like 28 degrees this morning and there was ice everywhere. IT got me homesick. Especially when I went to get some tacos. There was christmas music playing and everyone was all bundled up inside the restaurant and it really felt like Christmas for a few minutes.

Anyway, I'm glad I got the day off. My finger needs a day of rest so it can heal.


Look, wanna see it??!
And if I bend it....
I know it looks really bad, but it's really in good shape. It's got a good scab over it and there's no infection so it's going to heal nicely. I'll probably have a big scar, but it'll be a reminder to be careful.

Aww, who am I kidding... I'm going to use it to brag about how tough I am. :D :D

My weekend

Last weekend my gay alky neighbor asked if I would help move his friend (um, lets call him... um... chico) into his new apartment. I wasn't too thrilled about spending my Saturday helping someone I barely know move. Especially when I just cut my thumb open the day before, but, well... I'm just a nice guy.

So we get Chico all moved into this apartment that's almost twice the size of mine and all bills paid for a little more than what I pay, and the owner is throwing a party for the tenants that day. Well, my neighbor had already started drinking at 11am or so and it was already getting dark so he was buzzing already. So I went out and got some beer and we stayed there and drank.

Well, we're all having a good time and after about 11 or 12 beers, I'm pretty drunk and trying to figure out how to get a shot of that unopened liquor bottle on one of the tables. But they didn't know the people at that table. So I settled for a couple of hits of a joint that someone was smoking. That did me in. I was totally out of it and Chico told me to go crash on his couch. I figured I'd lay down for just a little while, but the next thing I know, it's like 3 .a.m. and there's someone knocking on the door.

So Chico answers the door and it's the cops looking asking if my gay alky neighbor is there. He says no and the cop asks about me ( I was pretending like I was asleep) and shines the light right in my face. I pretended like I was waking up and I heard someone downstairs yell "That motherfucker threw a brick through my window and ran into that apartment... I think it was that apartment" and then the cop asked some more questions and left.

So I asked Chico what happened and he had no idea. My neighbor wasn't there either. So I just went back to sleep. When I woke up at like 7 or so, I decided to head home and when I got there
my neighbor is sitting on his porch in the same clothes (shorts and a tshirt in 40 degree temps) and he has a big gash on his forehead.

Apparently he got into that bottle of liquor I was eyeing, then somehow got into a fight with someone and got hit in the head with a bottle then when that someone ran into their house, he tried to kick the door down, then threw a brick through the window. Then he walked home without his keys and spent the night outside his apartment.

So he tells me all of this in my apartment while he warms up and tells me he's going to "get that motherfucker" and "This ain't over" and more stuff like that. Then asks me all nicely to take him back over there to get his keys. I was like "Hell NO, your going to try to kick that guys ass. I sure as hell ain't getting involved in this" and somehow I convinced him to stay at my place while I went to get his keys.

That was the last I heard of it. I picked up the keys, and he went home. I haven't seen him since because I've been working late all week and he works in the afternoon. So I have no idea what has happened since. Hopefully nothing and he's just full of hot air.

So... that was my exciting weekend. I think I'm going to stay home from now on...

Another injury

Chalk up another hand injury to add to this blog. Today I gashed open my left thumb while cleaning off my margin trowel with a utility knife. Not exactly my brightest moment.

The problem is that it happened at work toward the end of the day. So rather than report it, I just called it a day and went home. Usually you're supposed to report it and go to the clinic, but if I did that then I would have had to take a drug test. And that's not something I don't want to do.
So I decided to stop by the CVS Pharmacy on the way home and get some medical supplies. I got some butterfly strips, Gauze, and some cloth tape. I also needed something to disenfect the wound and was debating between betadine and iodine. I wasn't sure which one was better so I asked the lady at the pharmacy counter. Mind you, I had a big, dirty, bloody rag wrapped around my finger and dried blood all over my hand and shirt. So the lady says they are both pretty much the same. Then, with a wide eyed look,she slowly asks me, "Do you need some help?"

*Sigh*

So I get home and my gay alky neighbor is sitting outside drinking before he has to go to work. He asks me about my hand and I tell him what happened. Then he goes on and on about the stuff he bought at the dollar store and I'm like "Dude, I have to tend to my hand" and he's like "oh yea, maybe you should, but hold on, let me show you what I got at H.E.B yesterday."

Jeez

So then i get a knock on my door, actually about two or three knocks. I thought it was my other neighbor, but it turned out to be my sister and her kids. She told me I really should see a doctor. You, know... she's probably right.

Cell Phone

I got a new cell phone on Monday. Woo Hoo!!!



It's a Motorola V551 and it's got all those new fandangled features that you find on phones nowadays like a camera, and um..... ring tones and.... um...... buttons.... and other ... stuff.

And the $119 was totally worth it. TOTALLY. Really it was.... I mean, so far I've managed to take a picture of my wall, my cat, my tv and my feet..... TOTALLY WORTH IT!
