Everyone hates getting socks for Christmas. Let’s face it, when you see a package wrapped up nice and pretty then rip into it finding a set of Hanes cotton socks your heart drops just a little. In the same respect, if you are anything like me and open a pressie and find a badass game or new toy then it just makes things so much better and you can’t help but smile.

It made me wonder, is there something worse than getting socks for Christmas? I just realized there was. Being a sick kid stuck in a hospital during Christmas with nothing to do. Supersloth, an admin at one of the tech forums I frequent posted about this wicked awesome effort going on called Childs Play Charity.

The fine folks over at Penny Arcade are putting on this charity which is now in it’s third year. Setting up Amazon wish-lists for childrens hospitals around the US, Canda and soon the UK they enable folks to go in and purchase goodies for the kids that are in the hospital.

The reason I really like this is because there are zero “Administrative Fees”. Everything that is dontated is sent directly to the hospitals. Also because it’s run by geeks *chuckle*. I’ve went ahead and donated a couple games because, damnit sick kids deserve to have some fun. The wishlists have items on them for all budgets so please go take a look and see if you can help make a kid smile this Christmas as well. :)

Hey so I finally found time to get this thing properly set up and whatnot. Thanks to blogger totally sucking I had to transfer every single fucking post by hand. Still haven’t gotten up the gumption to move all the haloscan comments over yet but hey this is a start right?

Anywhoot, I’ve managed to eat almost a whole bag of Reese’s Pieces and smoke 2 packs of cigs…I’m ready to stop. So, poke around if you’d like but I’m a’going to bed.

Hasta!

Um Yeah…

Headed to 9:45am meeting w/client.
Need big cup of coffee.
Want summer to come back.
“I wish I was a Cat” post coming soon.

The Dollar War

Our town has been invaded…and is now the location of a huge all-out war.

The participants? Family Dollar and Dollar General. It seems that in the last year those two have built store after store here. Everywhere a Family Dollar goes up Dollar General is hot on it’s heels building one right down the street from it. I think we are up to some dumbass number like 15 total. And they are starting work on ANOTHER Dollar General.

I think I can name only one time I went into Family Dollar…and it was because I was late to a birthday party and needed a card because the gas station was out of em’. I don’t dare go into Dollar General, the grey and yellow look of the place is a bit freaky. So, I have basically no use for them. And I never see cars in their parking lots. Yet they continue to build. *shakes head*

They say history repeats itself which is all too true. In the mid 80s there was a huge influx of Circle K stations built here. At it’s peak there were like 11 in a town who’s population was way under 100,000. All but like 4 of them went under of course because seriously how many fucking Circle K’s does one town need? I predict the same fate for the Dollar War because our population may have risen since the 80s but our need for discounted crap is not gonna keep these business floating…cuz we got Walmart suckers ;o)

A couple days ago I received an email from a person who apparently monitors my blog quite often. This person (who happens to be a total stranger) decided it was their god-given right to “call me out on the carpet”…so to speak. They wanted to know why I had gotten over the whole me n’ Josh thing so quickly. And how I could have possibly loved this guy when I’ve got a boyfriend so soon after our relationships demise. I should not have even bothered replying, however, I wanted to make this public in case any other asshat decided they had a problem with how I roll…

First and foremost, you prying sonofabitch, I have not “gotten over the whole me n’ Josh thing so quickly”. There are nights when I cry myself to sleep. There are nights when I sit up in bed and wonder what the fuck went wrong. There are nights when I can’t even breath because it hurts to even think about it. Sometimes I feel so god damned sorry for myself I question why I’m even here pushing on.

You do me a favor, climb into my 20 year old shoes and stay awhile. At 20 did you go though all I have? Hell. No. And therefore you have absolutely no room to even open your mouth. I spent years with Josh, and let me inform you now that they weren’t all peaches and cream. But you wouldn’t know that because SUPRISE muthafucker, you aren’t here and sure as hell weren’t there. Like the time he went ape-shit and destroyed every piece of furniture in our room. Or the time he got so drunk that he threw me down on the bed and was screaming so loud that the windows rattled and Sebastien was scared he was going to kill me. Or here’s a winner…the time he got plastered and tore apart a bar. Heck, here’s one you got to read about…HIM wrecking my fucking car!

I didn’t think it would be a nice gesture to spew my huge relationship problems to the world. More importantly, to strangers like you. I have this blog to keep me happy and to try and bring a chuckle or two to the folks who visit me. I didn’t realize it was the place I should give the internet updates on how shitty I’ve been feeling for the last few years or what kind of problems Josh and I had.

Secondly, you ask how I could have loved him but gotten a boyfriend shortly after we split? Dare I say it again? You are a prying sonofabitch. I loved him, more than you could possibly comprehend…why the fuck do you think I stayed with him as long as I did? I fully planned on growing old with him. In fact, despite all that’s happened a little part of me still loves him. But that doesn’t mean that I’m going to subject myself to the negative that comes attached to him. You can love someone and *gasp* not be with them. Take notes bitch…there’s wisdom in my words.

As to me getting a boyfriend “so soon”; I wasn’t out whoring the streets looking for a boyfriend. I wasn’t intentionally trying to find someone new. It just happened. Rich happens to be a funny, caring, independent, non-temperamental, non-alcoholic person. He made the move, and at that time in my life I felt comfortable starting over with someone new. Any cocksucker who has a problem with it can bite me. Mmmkay?

What I do with my life is honestly no consequence to you whatsoever. You are not paying my bills. You are not me. In conclusion, fuck off and find a new hobby, because you’ve been deleted from my inbox, outbox and my mind.
