When the government loots the treasury that's when you know trouble is
looming...I will gladly take my 'tax rebate' and invest in non
perishables and some 'duct tape'... blame it on 'the toilet' otherwise
known as the orwellian terror group 'al qeada'...

Thursday...

Something about Thursdays...wednesdays are just useless days, but if
they didn't exist Thursday would be wednesday...Strange ramblings...but
I digress...thursdays...ahhh the day before Friday! Payday! For
some...but I look forward to seeing my daughter on Fridays! Tomorrow
can't come fast enough...

Communication Breakdown....

Such a good song...but in this text, more of a diffculty...I live in a
world where people hang on every word I say and that's tough, taking a
word written out of context...my happiness revolves around the fact that
I got to sing Happy Birthday to my sister and she told me that it was
the best gift she ever received....not much else going on in my world,
can't have to many friends nor cast too many hooks....

happy...

How do I get the world to listen...

When so many humans can not think for themselves....

Saying goodbye to Magenta....

I tried...had not one but TWO interviews but blue wanted me to take an
$11,400 pay cut to do the same thing...honestly that is way to much
money to be losing...especially when I would be losing my 7 year
seniority...so magenta, with a little luck and some work from senior
management you may have me for another 7 years...

is going well...will update sooon

The abilty to read does not by default make you smart...

The ability to comprehend and use what you read in real world situations
makes you smart...
I've heard you folks out in public and I've had the unfortunate comedic
experience trying to figure out what your trying to say with those big
words...
Big words just like a big truck doesnlt take care of that 'issue' you
have...

Vacation and the red ring of death...

So I’m on Vacation! Huh! I know from the many AIM messages and E-mails that obviously vacation and Mike do not usually end up in the same sentence.... but,

Alas I am on vacation... Where did I go you might ask? Watertown! I heard the weather is great this time of year....LOL Yeah I stayed home bitches!

So I am away from my store for 10 days, ahhhhhh! Though I will miss the "people" of the mall I will not miss my customers.. LOL I will miss my staff but they are under the guidance and leadership of my assistant! So my first official day of Vacation could to some seem like one of the worst days....listen to this horseshit! So I wake up at 9 am! Who wakes up at 9am on their vacation, well I guess going to bed at 1030 with a migrane last night would account for that, needless! I go out to the kitchen to reheat my coffee from last night, plug in the space heater, set the micro for a minute and POP! the breaker for the kitchen blows, text the landlord to reset it and I am up and running! So then I go out into the living room and turn on the XBOX360, need to kill me a few terrorists in Vegas but, Microsoft has a message for me, the muthatruckin RED RING OF DEATH! hardware failure! shizzit! So I have to send the shit back for repairs, out of my 360 for a month! Damn!

They say it comes in three’s so I wasn’t surprised to get a text from "my kitty" that read " are we cool?" Ahhh shit! This is the third! I call her and immediately am relieved to hear her voice, I tell her about my day so far and she tells me that seeing her will make my day better. I fully agree with that!

So I’m still waiting on the third thing to drop....

In the meantime I got to shit, shower, go to Comcast and return my 70 dollar a month cable TV thing, and Target.....

The leprechaun, a Kitty, and me...

So...... much has happened since Jan 31st.....

The Leprechaun....
On March 17th, St. Patricks Day, the Boston Region had a very heavy repression raised off their shoulders when it was learned that the Leprechaun was transferred to New "Haven’t won a championship in 8 years" York...Yes, the overpowering "If you do it my way it will be better" midge has been sent on his way..... Hasta La Vista you phoney. I now fully understand why the guys and gals at your last job did back flips when you left.... So bye Martin Sheen...

a Kitty...
I met a real nice girl and have been spending quality time with her. I met her last Octoberish while flying wingman for my boy Barry, to find out that she was not interested in said friend... :-) We lost physical contact but remained in contact via text message and recently started hanging out...

me...
So, as you can see work is good and life is good!
