Toxic propaganda
His premise is about respect. His conclusion is that he can control my life.
I am 24. I have always sought my brother’s advice, friendship and approval. Without his acceptance of my existence I was disturbed for some time. Upon receiving my bachelor’s we became friends. I thought he valued my personhood and found a way to reciprocate the love and respect I have for him. Isn’t...
Good stuff
I went to the lake last week. I went up on Wednesday and my fam stayed until Saturday. As they departed my brother’s friends arrived and kicked off the second half of the trip. We entertained ourselves with games and booze. Much to my delight I did great on horseshoes. We drove back and for two days I couldn’t get my land legs working. I was bumping my way through work a little dizzy...

Gym
So I’ve been loyal to the gym. I’ve been wanting to go back for years, and I finally did. I’ve gone for 2 months and it’s embedded into me again. When I work out in the morning I’m ready to go again after work. I obsess. I have actually seen results though, which is surprising because I was already thin. I’m 5’1” and fluctuate from low to mid 90s. My...
Golf
My dad called me randomly Thursday night and said he wanted to take me on Friday to get my clubs fitted. I figured that meant we would get me driver cut and maybe pick up an iron, the lowest my set came with was a seven so I’ve been itching for something lower.
It turns out he wanted to get me fitted for a whole new set! New driver and irons, pw, sw, and 9-4 irons! My mom bought me clubs...

My two roommates are on summer break right now. They are teachers and have quickly forgotten how difficult it is to get up after too little sleep.
Between 1 and 5 this morning I was woken up several times by them. One came home drunk and banged around, slammed the front door, etc. She did it again a short while later. Then the other roommate and her boyfriend came home and did the same. They too...

So golf isn’t really a sport you can just randomly play every couple months. Apparently I need to give it more attention.
By the way, once you cannot use a word anymore, it becomes impossible not to say (I.e., I’m dead tired, jeff dunham ‘I’ll kill you’, FML).
If you’re not getting better, you’re getting worse.
Debbie’s funeral is tomorrow. I sure as hell hope that I’m strong enough to be the kind of friend I need to be right now. Shitfuck.
NIN
NIN/JA tonight. It was amazing.
I still can’t figure out why the fuck NIN would be opening for Jane’s. Nothing against them, but they’re no comparison to Trent. FYL.
Trip!
To Flagstaff to visit friends! Wineloft! Apples to apples! Huzzah!!!!

as I entered the market to pick up some goddies two little old ladies took notice of me and chatted me up. I don’t get that often, and I can’t say I’m usually open for conversation with random people. they were sweet though, and it kind of made me day. the randomness of our conversation made me a little more ready for the day. :)
I’m watching a bee…

Oink
I wish I’d gotten to say goodbye to Berla, cutest fat pig ever, clear blue eyes.
I'm back
Ew.
Good-bye Paradise
I have no reason or excitement in going home. Last time I was ready to be back, but there’s nothing that I am going home to. I have no purpose there.
I’m officially on vacation!
Good stuff
This time next week I’ll be in Maui. I won’t have to worry about a crazt roommate, I’m moving in with my friend Diana. She and her roommate are teachers so they’re quiet and responsible. I

His life is kind of over. Sometimes empathy keeps me human and makes me seem warm.
Sweet
My employee just brought me vegan cookies. What a doll!
Lesson
I had my lesson today. It went so well. And I stayed after to putt, holy crap I surprised myself. I had more than a few lucky putts, I looked like I knew what I was doing! I’m excited! I want to go golf now! But I won’t ruin a good day :) I’ll end on a positive note.
What the hell Arizona
You’re the Cardinals. Ew.

Weir
Mike Weir won’t make it to Sunday’s final FBR Open round. I didn’t catch up with him until he was on the 18th green. This is very disappointing, I’m told we have the same swing and I wanted to see what that meant.
Oh sweet anticipation
What’s my good news? Eep!
First time
I did my first termination today. What an awkward feeling it was, my stomach twisted and my hart raced, but I think I handled it as best I could. It’s not something I want to do again, but I think it’s a good learning experience as a manager.
I like
Anticipation. Maui is a a few weeks off and I’m so excited. Plan events, shop, obsess… 22 days. I need to do some cardio for this thing. Shit. Wait, shave ice!
Last night she asked. “Why do you expect so much from me?” I responded, “Who is John Galt?” The truth is that she needs someone to believe in her the right way. Her parents seem so negative and I think I’m in a good position to be a positive influence. I’m young enough for her to see me as a friend and not just a manager. This is the first time I’ve felt...
What a day
Golf, my favorite restaurant and a show. I went with my mom grandma and Diana. It was such a wonderful night.
Inauguration
I did not watch. Obama is a scary man. He has the capacity to do great things, but most men with great opportunity face grave corruption. At what expense will his virtue cease?
Please let me be wrong.
Tuesday meeting
He held good on his word and told me today that the man in charge of the other branch of the company will be in contact. I’m still cautiously optimistic, but he would not have contacted the other branch if he didn’t at least support my move a little. Now I must prepare myself with answers to questions he may ask. If I got an interview, if I got that far, there’s no way I’ll...
My mom and I don’t generally fight. I stopped by after work and instead of saying hello and asking how my 11 hours day was, she immediately lashes into me about a check I haven’t cashed. It’s my check, I’ll leave it uncashed if I want. It’s not like a personal gift I’m rejecting, I’ve been too busy. Lay off.
Historic
The Cards did what didn’t seem possible. The city is ecstatic.
– Fast track
Big meeting
I had a meeting with my company’s VP tonight. I asked for it earlier this week. Although he’s an incredibly intelligent guy and a great person to work for/with I tend to lost my words around him. Nothing ever comes out right. It did tonight. It went so well. More later.
Bad golf
Needed my sandwedge. Had a rake thrown at me on the first hole. Hit a nice drive on the ninth. Dad broke his pitching wedge. Poor performance on the back nine. Didn’t finish a par 3. Tossed two “bad karma” balls. Found a pretty ywllow crystal ball. It was comical how terrible we all did. Next week we’ll do 18 at a redemption course.
Tired
Sunday 12-10, Monday 7:30-6. Wednesday 12-10, today 7:30-8. I’m fricken worn out. Too many close-opens. I can’t wait for Maui next month!
Work
I worked 12-10 yesterday then came hme and couldn’t sleep until after I finished the to-do list for today. It was two pages long. 5 hours of sleep later I head to work extra early to get stuff done. I call my servers and bring them in late to save on labor. I juggled deliveries, cleaning, payroll, the corporate package, invoices and my endless list. I somehow got most of my morning duties...
Sunday
I worked too long, accomplished too little and spent too much on labor. I sent my employees home, did their work and tried to save the day. I love my job, but it’s discouraging knowing that I have no raise (incentive) in sight.
Economy insurance
Hyundai proves that there are at least a few brain cells left in the world.
Milestone
I finally played a full 18 holes, I don’t think I’ve ever done that. When I first played I was very young and I don’t imagine that I’d have the focus/energy to finish 18 holes… about four hours of golf. I have been worried and pretty nervous about doing a full round, but I no longer see why. Of course the first time is going to be bad! What was in my favor, however,...
Where the heck has she been?
Dear Lady from the Cashing in on Recycling video (cnn.com),
Sears is obscure.
Please join 2009.
Unless, of course, she lives in Durango, Colorado. In small towns I can’t blame people for poor taste (and quality). I am a snob against Sears. They need to pick a function and serve it. When I think Sears I think haircut and lunch, which makes no sense.
Scooter
She usually hops down and sleeps under the bed. When I woke up this morning she was still all snuggled up on my bed. It was the sweetest thing.
What a disappointment
An old website I’ve sporadically followed for the past 5ish years is no longer valid. I hate that. It makes me wish I never cleared the internet cache. Google saved a little for me. I begin the stalking process to see if the site has been relocated or if he simply felt the need to delete and move along.
In other words...
Personal credit isn’t the only credit relevant to a consumer, which every single person is. Yes, even drifters will be affected. Further, thanks Federal Reserve.
Were you really surprised?
This is Microsoft we’re talking about.
Zune fail.
I switched to a Mac lifestyle about 16 months ago. Since then I’ve had little to no computer drama. Aesthetically appealing. Easy to use. Easy to install. Easy to update. Easy to uninstall. Easy to explore. Easy to upgrade. Easy to back up. Easy to find help. Great programs. Universal preference for all walks of life - djs, artists,...
stray golfer
My mom called me early yesterday to see I would be interested in going out for my first full 18 holes. They had a tee time for around noon, but since I had to be at work by 3:00 I was unable to go out with my parents. I showered and cleaned up then headed over to my parents’ house to do some laundry. I have facilities in my complex, but my roommate always complains about how they don’t...
