Unfinished Buisness

I have three separate posts that I'm in the process of writing. I cant seem to finish any of them.

The doctors, they are not happy with my ongoing physical deterioration. The one I dubbed 'ass doctor' to her own great dismay, has given me actual suppositories to take. She knows I wont take them, and she'll keep prescribing them. Its a little game we play.

Otherwise, its the same old song: eat better, exercise more. Stop drinking.

Egalitarian

Came out of left field, knocked the wind out of me. Are women even allowed to do this sort of thing?

I've put in an awful lot of effort into equality in my current relationship. That being said, perhaps my patriarchal big bad self was not prepared for a marriage proposal coming from Woman. I had always assumed it was up to me.

Besides, is 4AM on a Saturday morning after 6 intense hours drinking really a good time for this sort of thing? I doubt it, but than again the morning after strategy seems to be pretending 'it' never happened anyway.

Too Tired To Care

After a few weeks of anticipation, yesterday my (cocksucker of a) manager pulled me into his office for a performance review. The promotion is mine.

I have mixed feelings about it. For one, I’m probably one of the youngest guys to get this outside of my (cocksucker of a former) manager, and I’m a bit terrified about the team I have to put together. If any of these guys are going to be even a fraction of my assholeness, I’m in for trouble.

And my friend, the one that has been with the company for about twice as long as I have, the one that indeed got me this job, he did not get a promotion.

So I'm happy, and scared. And irrationally guilty.

Its Washington, Y'all!

First of all, go here.

Now tell me, why the fuck do we get Martin Luther King day off, but not Washington's (six foot 20 fucking killing for fun) birthday?

By the by, if you liked the video, Brad Neely is the creator and a google for his name will bring up more shenanigans.

Iowa

Previously believed to be a fly-over state, Iowa has now been confirmed to have actual people living in and around its capitol. I cannot confirm anything beyond Des Moines.

When confronted with the obvious (to me at least) question of why holly hell any of them would want to stick around any place that gets this cold on a yearly basis, these people get testy and inquire when my flight for California is scheduled.



That white shit you see on and around the cars? Yeah, thats fucking snow. This crap will actually fall out of the sky and blanket any dumb-ass unlucky enough to be caught outside. It goes without saying that I don't have anything heavier than a suit jacket in my entire wardrobe.

Hooky

I was just reading an article about the maturity and development of the 20-something male in America. The thesis behind this woman's work is that the modern male takes longer to leave the adolescent faze, sometimes waiting until entering well into the mid twenties to take on responsibilities of adulthood.

Along those lines, I confess that on Wednesday I proudly waved a one finger salute to my boss and my crazy deadlines. I played hooky from work to play a video game I downloaded the night before.

Take that adulthood!

Someone explain to me again what the benefits are for the modern male to jump into adulthood?
