Hola or is it hello

Wow what a day yesterday, it all started the previous night, for some reason I could not sleep, all I could think of was my ex girlfriend, the one who ripped out my heart and did a dance around it like the witch that she is, do I sound bitter?
The next morning at school, I am logging on to my cpu, when i get an IM from my ex accusing me off using her credit card for porn!!! WTF, here is how most of the conversation goes
Me: I have no idea what you are talking about
Crazy ex girlfriend: I knew you would not admit it
Me: again I have no idea what you are talking about, now please just go away
CEG: Don't worry about it, my nigga (she is now dating a black guy) took care of it.
ME: LOL, your nigga? Do u know how stupid you sound?
CEG: I will see you in small claims court
me: Good then you can have the court trace the IP address, and find out that it was one of your other "niggas" who did it.
Me: You are nothing but an attention whore
CEG: I know you did just not call me a whore
ME: no you are an attention whore, your trying to cause drama
CEG: Dont call me a whore
ME: dont call me a thief
we then part, I am somewhat annoyed, but yet feeling a litle unsure inside, I know this is weak sounding, but she honestly the only girl that i can say that i cared about. I send her an email telling her I had nothing to do with her credit card bill, I am finally done with her, don't contact me again.
later on that day she contacts me again WTF
CEG: I know you needed closure from us but I would never have used your credit card
ME: what makes you think that oi would do that
CEG: Because of the things that I did to you,
ME: First of I don't have a malicious nature, secondly if I want porn, I can download it for free.
CEG: It happened in January and I know that you like porn.
You are telling me this girl who thinks that i used her credit card in January is now coming to question me about it, methinks I smell a ruse here.
ME: Stop contacting me, we are done, you have yourself a new "nigga" (I am going to make her feel stupid for that comment, I wonder does he go around calling her his chink? Lesson for the day people, it is not cool to use the word nigga, no matter what race you are)
That was just the beginning of my day.
Later on that day we have parent teacher conferences, aaarrrgghhh, I have to spend my evening listening to whiny parents now, but the funny thing that happened as I am walking thru the office the secretary approaches me and asks me to translate spanish for a new student, I politely inform the secretary that I am not bilingual. Five minutes later i am sitting at my desk when another teacher comes up to me and asks me to translate spanish for a parent. Ok people second lesson for the day, yes I have brown skin, but that does not automatically make me fluent in spanish, hell I speak better English than you,(you know that whole living in London as a kid will give you a grasp of the English language). So again I inform the teacher that i do not speak spanish, but this time, I had to add is it because I have brown skin? ( just wanted her to feel uncomfortable, mean, I know, but hey at least it will help her come to terms with her ignorance). She responds in a flustered voice, "no, no, I had just heard a rumour that you spoke spanish." I wonder where she heard that? at the local Klan/Republican convention.
Conferences go well, had a lot of compliments on how well I am doing at this new school, and they are glad to actually see some structure in the class room, even had the engineer/custodian come up to me and was glad to see how order i have, he told me he always had a tough time cleaning up after the last teacher, because the kids would leave the room a mess.
Finally at 8 i can go home, I have put in 11.5 hours to day at school, I am exhausted.
Once I get home, I take the dog out for a walk, on my walk I receive a phone call from my friend who was having boyfriend problems, but this phone call had a different vibe to it, she asked me if I wanted to come over and see her new room? To be honest i think she was giving off the whole when not happy with boyfriend, break glass for emergency penis. And I was the emergency penis. Now I am not saying that I would of performed all of the emergency Penis functions, but it would have been nice just to make out for a little bit
I finish up my walking the dog, and make the phone call to let her know that I am coming over, and who should answer the phone? The Boyfriend, DOH, my friend gets on the phone, and I say let me guess you have company now, She replies sheepily yes. I find the whole episode amusing, but it would have been even more amusing if I had been over there and he showed up.

Can't think of a witty title today

Well I have been pretty lazy about posting over the past 2 days, sorry, no excuse, just a lazy ass. What's new in your life future I hear you ask? Well not a whole lot, started talking to another crazee, seems pretty cool, she's really into her music which is a good thing, she has a thing for teachers, which might be a good thing, at best could be a potential "how you doing" at worst could be a friend. Today I had to go get a massage, due to the aches and kinks in my neck from monday night. Now I am not a big fan of massages due to the llast time I had one the masseuse kept on feeling on my meat and two veg, now normally I wouldn't mind, but I am paying good money to be relaxed, and find it a little hard to relax when all I can think of is don't rise to attention, don't rise to attention. Well went in for a massage, today no feeling up on me, no happy ending, just a little refief in my neck.
Was going thru my old music yesterday and ran into my old depeche mode cd's. Depeche Mode was nine inch nails before nine inch nails was nine inch nails. Good stuff!
Booked another flight to LA for the 6th hopefully I will be able to do some surfing this time around.
Lbseahag- the only person who ever says i look like that guy is my buddy Roland Orzabal
Phats- I'm glad your gam gam is doing better
Gareth- Put down the whiskey
Steph-I'm sorry but she is smoking, but she probably does not have your love of porn

Ouch pt 2

I am a big old ball of hurt rt now, could not even walk the dog this morning, sorry pup, I have bruises everywhere, and my neck is stiffer than a porn stars. I will be so locking my door during prep, and falling asleep. Phats and Gareth I will practice on you two if I have to.

Ouch

Ok so I finally got back into the Gym today, and when I say gym, I'm not talking pumping iron type gym, no I mean i actually started martial art training again. Now it has been many moons since I picked up a focus mat, or decided to get sweaty with another male, and no not sweaty the way phats likes to get sweaty with other males. I decided to do a combat submission wrestling class today, as soon as I walk into the gym, the instructor recognizes me from a bar which I bounced at, oh great now he is going to think of me as a meathead who just wants to be more effective at tossing people out of bars. In all honesty I have close to a 90 % success rate in talking people out of a bar, and I hate getting physical, one I might get hit, and that would not be good, and two I cannot ruin my face as I am about to goto LA and be discovered as the next Peter North( if you have to ask, forget about it).
First we started of with some basic calisthenics on the mat, after 10 minutes of this I am already breaking a sweat, the evening does not bode well for me. We go thru drill for about the next hour and I am handling myself pretty well. For the last half hour he wants us to spar, 20 seconds into my first sparring session, and I catch an elbow to the eye, MUTHAFUCKA, there goes my modelling career, I now have a cut under my eye, and I have to teach tomorrow.
2nd match I am squaring off with some sasquatch, luckily no injuries, but I almost got him to submit.
3rd match the instructor wants a piece of this ass, is this like a rookie thing or something, so there is little ol me against the instructor, now think Mr Miyagi from the Karate Kid, ok pictured him, my instructor looked nothing like him, the bastard was about 6'3 and 230. Three submissions later, me not him, I am allowed to leave and take my aching ass home.
Now for my rant, you smelly bastards who come to the gym, take a freaking shower especially if you are going to be rolling around on a mat with somebody else, I almost tapped out when my nose was buried in some hygiene deficient asshole.
Thanks to all your posts recently, as sson as I can think up nicknames for you I will be adding you to my family.

My football weekend

Wow what a lazy weekend! Yesterday I receive a phone call at 9:30A.M from a buddy I used to bounce with asking me if I wanted to go to the Gopher vs Purdue game, normally I would have said no, but since Phats and I have been having friendly banter about this game, I decide to attend so that I can talk some shit to phats when purdue loses(luckily they won). My buddy was an gopher, so he had access to pretty good seats. So here I am sitting with a bunch of ex offensive linemen , which brings me to my first rant. Stadium Seats! One of the reasons i dont like to goto sporting events are the danm seats are always so small, I am not a big guy by any means, but I do have pretty broad shoulders for my size. I find it way more comfortable to watch a game at home than be crammed into plastic cage. My diet got shot to shit this weekend,one of the guys smuggled a bunch of double cheese burgers in to the game, I ate THREE! plus a footlong hot dog. I was seriusly hurting that evening. Beause the weather was so shitty, I decided to stay in and watch tv and peruse blogs, man I so need a life.
Sunday I was offered free tickets to the vikings game(man i am a lucky bastard this weekend) again pretty good seats rt on the 50 yard line about 18 rows back, but still contained in these damn small seats. More metrodome hotdogs, and I dont even like hotdogs. The vikings finally won a game, and they did it in convincing fashion. After the game i decide to visit the devils lair, otherwise known as Target, I defy anybody to go into that store and buy one item. Which brings me to my second rant! OK people ths is how you leave a parking lot, you get in your car, you put on your seatbelt, you reverse out and you goto your next destination. You do not get in the car and then decide to fart around for 5 minutes while people are waiting for you to vacate your parking space. Also you people who want to wait around for 5 minutes for that good parking spot and delay everybody behind you, GIVE IT UP! Drive your lazy ass the additional 20 yards and walk, the exercise will do u good.
On a somber note apparently last week's date did not go as well that i thougt it did, because she has not tried to contact me at all since the date. Ladies I understand that not every date is going to be love connection,and if that is the case, just let the guy know, trust me he will appreciate knowing where he stands instead of having to consult Ms. Cleo and her psychic network to figure out where he stands from your mixed signals.
AAArrrggghhhh the weekend is almost over, work would be such a good place if I didn't have to be there 5 days a week.

Saturday, September 24, 2005

A football weekend

Just scored a free ticket to today's minnesota Gopher game, and scored another ticket to the vikings game tomorrow, there goes all my plans of a productive weekend!

I have been hacked

Aaaaarrrrgggghhh, some cock sucking, cum guzzling, sheep fucking asshole has hacked my blog. If any of you www wonders know how to fix my problem, please share.
For some strange reasoon whenever you roll over the titles of my blogs, it brings up a link to a free mp3 site. I do not condone this, I just want to be able to link my post occasionally with other posts.
Help

New family member

I just wanted to welcome Phats n Nuttyblond to my blog family, it's funny I ws going to add them today, when I recieved a posting that he had added me, Great minds think alike. Just don't be too mad after the weekend.

My ugly addiction

OK I am on my prep for school, and what am I doing? Preparing for my upcoming classes? no, thinking of new ways to reach my problematic students? Hell no, thinking up brand new and exciting lesson plans? You have to be kidding me. No i am feeding my ugly addiction to blogging, any spare chance I get i check my blogs and my blog family to see what is going on. I need rehab.
My principal came into my class and told me she is so happy that I am here, this really made me feel good, too often teachers are not recognised for the work that they do, and this is even by people who know what kind of job you have. So my words of wisdom for the day are if you know someone who is doing a good job, or just outright deserves a compliment, go up to them and let them know, they will appreciate it.

More rants and raves

Firstly I just want to say i love bars with wireless internet connections, i am sitting at a bar, having a drink, waiting for my food, and posting my latest entry. Isn't technology great.
Ok i am off the opinion that some people should not be allowed to drive, and have kids. Today I spy woman drive past me looking for a parking spot, as she passes by, i peep inside of her car, in there I see a baby in a baby carriage, this poor child ws not even strapped in, I was horrified, it is Idiots like these who are allowed to procreate, and I have problems just finding a girlfriend. This woman is looking around for a parking spot, when she drives right into a red truck! A RED FUCKING TRUCK, how do you not see a three ton vehicle in the most recognised color. She did not even stop to inspect the damage, she just drove away, no note, no explanation, nothing. I took down her details and left the info on the truck owners windshield. I hope karma catches up with this bad driving, poor excuse for a mother.
Next rant have you ever seent the seinfeld episode where, Jerry leaves his car with a valet, and the valet leaves a stench in the car. That happened to me today, I dropped my car off at the car wash, and after I picked it up there was the nastiest BO odor left in my car, to be honest I was not that mad, I mean the guy was obviously working hard, and it's notlike I couldn't open the window, I just found it amusing.
Not a rant. I just saw the funniest sign at the Uptown Theatre "Hellbent, the first gay vampire movie" I thought this ws hilarious, it brings up all types of jokes like where do yu suck the blood from? or what else do you suck? Its the little things in life that amuse me.

My rants

Ok I have a couple of rants today
  1. People who call my cell phone and ask who is this? look dumbass you called me, figure out who you are calling then politely ask to speak to whoever you need to speak to, not try to be all tough and shit and say who is this.
  2. Because I am the greatest teacher in the world, well at least in my school, the principal has decided to stick more at risk students in my class. Here's an idea, talk to the the other teachers, back them up on discipline and keep class numbers even. It's not my fault that I believe in discipline and an orderly class room.
  3. The games we play when dating. If you had a good date, and like somebody why should I have to wait the obligatory 3 day period before trying to contact that person, it's just plain stupid, it does not mean that I am needy, or psycho, or whatever stupid ass term you crazees come up with, it just means that I am interested, enjoyed your company and would like to have more fun times with you sooner than later. This also applies to the fellas, if a girl calls you after a date do not take that as the go ahead to fuck with her mind just because she shows some initiative.

Ok im done for now, I feel better getting that off my chest, everybody have a great day

Peaks and valleys

Life is full of peaks and valleys, after yesterdays wonderful day, I was hoping that it would carry into today, alas no such luck. School was mediocre today, I tell you I cannot wait until I make that move to cali. Anyways the weather was extremely unpredictable I could not take the dog out for a walk because it was close to 90, then once it cooled down, it started raining cats and dogs(where did that saying come from?) I had to wait until 10.30 before there was a break in the weather, soon as there was a break I went for a quick mile and half run with the dog, just to get him some exercise. Then i had a conversation with a friend about the importance of money, and when I say conversation I use that term loosely. I know money is important, but i don't believe you should let it control your life or let it influence you on how happy it can make you. In the end I knew I could not change this persons mind so i took the high road and excused myself from the conversation. Remember folks money can buy material objects, but that is not the key to happiness.

What a great day

Ok folks, sorry I was not able to post yesterday, had an extremely busy day, but still a good day.firs of all I want to say that I love Tuesdays, all of my classes are good, almost no problems.
Got pulled over for doing 60 in a thirty five, and not using my turn signals. Cop let me off with a warning, today is going to be a good day. After school my principal wanted to meet with me and my academic team to discuss moving some of the problem students around, so as to make the other classes more bearable. So in the meeting my principal starts to give me Kudos for the jhob I have been doing. I have had to totally revamp the program I have walked into, there has been no structure for the last five years, and I have been trying to get some type of organisation into the class room. So I am feeling pretty good about having my efforts recognised. After the meeting, I decide I want to trade in my new laptop for a more powerful one. Luckily I have friends who work at best buy, so I was able to trade my laptop for a more powerful one at a reduced price, the only downside was I had to wait 3 hours for them to reconfigure the laptop. But I'm still smiling.
Now Today was the day I was supposed to meet with supposedly hot girl from my Women post I call her to try and set up a meeting time, and she postpones on me. She said that she was meeting a friend, and can she call me later around 7 or 8, dissapointed I agreed ok. 7 o clock rolls around, no phone call, 8 P.M no phone call, 9 P.M no phone call. By this time I am somewhat pissed, I have been waiting for this girl all evening, I have not eaten, and not even a phonecall to say I'm sorry. 9.17 finally she calls, but she has already eaten, man this date is not going to be a good one. We finally agree on a plce where we can meet, except I went to the wrong bar, but eventually met up with her.
So first impressions, she is definitely different to all the other kinds of girls which i date, and I dont mean that in a bad way, luckily she did not look like mariah carey, I was glad that she looked better than the picture which was sent to me. We sat down to have a few drinks, i had to order food due to not eating all day. Our conversation was quite pleasant, we were able to talk about common interests, with just the right amount of sexual innuendo to keep the conversation interesting. After dinks and pizza we decided to goto another bar and play trivia, when we get into my car, i open the door for her first(mama raised me right) then I walk over to my side to see her trying to open my door. She has just passed one of the tests, at least she is considerate enough to try and open my door. We arrive at the other bar and start to play trivia, and I use the term we lightly, it was really just me playing trivia, but my date sat there and put up with my geeky need to play a complete stranger at trivia. This girl is scoring big points now. We ended up closing that bar down, alas it was time for our date to end. I drove her back to her car, tried to find out if she is free this weekend, turns out she is busy. Now the end of the night, to I try to lay one on her, or just do the gentlemenly thing and give her a hug, I was trying to read her body language, and it looked like she wanted a good night kiss, but i chickened out. I wanted a second date, and I have a fear of rejection. On the way home we continued talking on our cell phones until we arrived at our respective homes, there we bid our farewells, and we will probably try to get together next week.
halfway decent lookin, check
has a brain, check
has a sense of humour, check(she is no steph though, but who is)
bangs like a pornstar, lets hope so

Post LA

Ok I am now back in the land of 10000 lakes, or puddles whatever you want to call them. I arrived back in mpls this morning at 5.30 A.M. The one good thing that happened, I had no body sitting next to me on the red eye, so I Sttrrreeeetttccchhheeddd out and was actually able to get some sleep, only three hours, but a needed three hours. I get home to find one of my tenats has totally screwed up my internet connection. I spent the next 45 mns trying to fix it before I had to go to work, but alas no luck. School went pretty good today, I only had one asshole to deal with today, but unfortunately it is the same asshole who has been giving me and every other teacher a hard tiime. After school I spend about an hour with tech support trying to get my connection up, still no go. By this time I am exhausted so I take one of the best naps of my life, i'm talking 2 hours of pure hard core sleep, man that felt good. later on the evening I receive a phone call from new friend if I can help her pick out a computer, i say sure why not, een though I need to fix my internet, the power of a cute girl will always win me over. i go help her pick out a cpu, and get her a discount to boot. She invites me to come over to her house later, but I am starting to feel a little wary of said girl, she doesn't seem to be feeling me as much as when we first started talking.
I go over to the house later on that night, to do some school work, and she can do some paper work. Half an hour later she says she is tired, so I pack up my things and go to the nearest bar. I have a feeling this one is over before it even got started. i cannot understand why it is so difficult to find a decent, halfway attractive girl, who can hold a conversation, and still bang like a porn star. (steph you don't count you live in florida).

Busted Ass weekend

OK I finally have a moment to post, what a hectic last couple of days I have had, starts off not getting any sleep because I am being a good friend, and hanging out with friend who just broke up with boyfriend, friend offers to drop me off at airport, I agree, I'll save some money not getting a cab. turns out my friends driving is slower than FEMA! Consequently I get to the airport later than I wanted, then to top things off they only have 1 person working the ticket counter. So the line is moving slowly. By the time I get to the counter, I am 1 minute late for checking in, 1 MINUTE! SO now they wont let me on the plane, I ask to speak to a supervisor, it takes him 12 minutes to respond. So now I am livid. I am now delayed in Mpls for 3 hours, and I will arrive in LA 2 hours late. And the asshole supervisor assigned me a seat which does not recline, so even sleeping will be somewhat difficult. When i finally arrive in LA my friends have gone out already, and tell me to meet them at this club.
I drive to the club and upon entering, I cannot find my friend anywhere, and his phone is not getting reception, so i wander around for about half an hour brfore i finally run into him. He is absolutely blotto, he tells me he is going to walk his girlfriend to her car, and will wait for him, I reply sure, I'll be right here. Half an hour later he has not returned, so I just figure, he and girlfriend have gone home, and he is too drunk to remember about me, so I drive back to his place, keep in mind I am not a LA native, and all driving here for me is new territory. I finally arrive at his house, and he is not there, turns out he is still at the club. Luckily his girlfriend volunteered to go get him.
Sat. I wake up to goto take my test and they have half the damn airport blocked off, so I am going frantic on how to make it to the test site in time, I arrive with 5 mins to spare, and take the test. I don't want to jinx myself, but I think I aced it. Ok first part of my day is over, next is the meeting with my background investigator, I have to admit that did not go as smoothly as I wanted, I tied to be as honest as possible, so I told him all about my past transgressions, this included drug usage, speeding tickets, work problems. The way he reacted did not seem that favourable, but I was just trying to be honest with him, LA has the reputation of having one of the most corrupt police forces in the U.S. And here you have a teacher with good ethics, a want to help others, someone willing to work in one of the toughest areas in the U.S. and I am having all these hurdles, I tell you sometimes there is no justice.
Later that night my friends want to go bowling, now I use the term friends very loosely, it's not that these are bad people, but I barely know these people, I go bowling with them, which was kind of fun, but I am still feeling kind of an outsider. These guys are cool guys, its just that they don't know me, and i don't know them. There all getting drunk and having a good time, and I am sober slowly withdrawing into myself. After bowling they decide they want to goto a place I have never seen before. The best way I can describe this place is a karaoke bar, except you rent your own soundproof room and you and all your buddies sing your hearts off in your own private room. A pretty cool idea. Again all of these guys are getting increasingly more drunk, and I am nowa shrinking violet. Let me tell you something about karaoke, if you are not drunk, it is a bunch of people murdering well known songs, now I dont want to sound like a snob, if i was drinking, I probably would have been doing my best Killers, Ramones impression, but as it goes I 'm stone cold sober. I make my excuses, and go home to my couch.
Back at the house, I am just getting comfortable, ready to finally get some sleep, when drunk posse comes home. Hey its the weekend, it's their house, they have the right to cut loose, unfortunately i'm exhausted.
It is now sunday, the vikings got their ass whooped, and I have to wait till midnite until my plane leaves, I don't even have the energy to go surfing today. This was not my best trip. A busted ass interview, and the one friend I had originally planned to see is out of my life. All in all not a good weekend. Hopefully the week will be better, but I doubt it.

Oh I would kill for a good night's sleep

It is 4 am, and I still have not gone to bed yet, I received a phone call from an old friend, who just broke up with her boyfriend, she has not been eating, or sleeping. I said I would come pick her up and take her to a 24 hr cafe to get something to eat. Poor girl was so love sick all she could stomach was a glass of juice. I have been there in the past so I can totslly empathize. After our liquid breakfast she convinced me to go and drive by her ex's house, I told her it would not solve anything, but she was adamant. Luckily I had my black hoodie in the car, joke. So we go by the house, and she decides to give dick head a call. Even though it was a bad idea, I was hoping that by him not answering, she could start to get some closure, But I guess those things just do not happen overnight.
Well it is now 4:15. and I still have not packed for my trip tomorrow. man tomorrow is gonna be hard to stay awake for class., hopefully I can sleep on the plane

Another night sans sleep

Wow am I exhausted again today, if I don't get on a regular sleeping schedule soon, I am going to endup severely injuring myself. Last night was a pretty dull night, did not do anything much except walk the dog and hang out with friends, I should have been doing my paperwork, but I have raised procrastination to an art form. Just got off the phone with my background investigator, and I might be meeting with him this weekend, I can almost taste the smog. Hopefully if everything goes well there, he calls my references, and i should be in the academy by Nov/Dec. I'm hoping for a Nov start, the sooner the better. I really cannot be in Mpls much longer, I really do feel stagnated here, and a piece of my soul dies every day that wake up in this city. On a good note departed friend actually made a contact with me yesterday, it wasn't much, but at least it was something. Next week I'm a make a move on her(just kidding CT). Hope everyone's day is going well

Another good day

Ok firstly I want to clarify a little situation here, I STILL LOVE WOMEN. It had come to my attention through email that I blame a lot of my female problems on female insanity. So I am writing to say that not all females are insane, just the ones that I date, or have dated, or somewhat interested in me, that does not include you Steph(lol). Powder Blue I still respect you and never thought you were crazy. Ok now that I am done with that, it seems I also owe another apology to female 3 from my previous women post see here . It turns out that this young lady is quite intelligent, yes a little ditzy but never the less a pretty good conversationalist. I was able to talk to her about Henry Rollins spoken word, desi comedian Russell Peters(if you haven't seen him, go check him out), she even liked Robin Williams old comedy act,( you know the one when he is high on cocaine, great stuff). And her political and social awareness totally blew me away.( I sound like I have a crush).
Two more days, and I am off to LA, woooohooooo, me, a surfboard, and my laptop, now that's living.

It's always sunny in Philadelphia

Just wanted to say anybody who has a dry sense of humour should check out this show on FX, I think it would really appeal to some of the people who frequent our little blog family. I swear there must be something about people from Pennsylvania who have dark senses of humour(Pennsylvania person you know who you are). BUt check the show out, guaranteed laughs.

A happy post

I have noticed that for the most part when people post, myself included, it is normally just to either bitch about the terrible day they had, or to rant and rave about some topic which they feel strongly about, usually in a negative fashion. Today I would like to change that. I had a great day, I met a new friend last night who showed me there are still some interesting people in Mpls. Do I want to date this new friend? yes, is it a good idea? Probably not, seeing as I have no idea as to how long I will be staying in Mpls. But I will continue to hang with this new friend and see what direction fate takes me. I hope everybody has a good day, especially Steph and Cindy after their horrendous days yesterday.

No time tonight

Just got back from hanging out with a new friend. To tired to post, will give details tomorrow

Women Pt 2

Ok I am now in the twilight zone, today I goto one of my favourite watering holes, and who should I run into , but crazy asian girl from last nights post. Oh great 200 bars in the twin cities, and she has to be at the one I am at, luckily I was invited over to sit with a group of girls, so I did not look like the loser who drinks by himself. I had some good conversation, lots of breast ogling, all in all a decent evening. As I am about to leave crazy asian girl asks me to come sit with her and her buddy,oookkkkkaaaayyyyy. I sit down, engage in small talk, at the same time not to get to friendly, when crazy asian starts to feel up my leg, WHAT THE FUCK, again females who can understand them, I think I just need to be an asshole to every girl I meet, and then I will have a never ending supply of freaky ass sex. Anyhoo I told crazy asian, what are you doing, we dont talk so why the hell are feeling me up. She responded with the international mating call"I'm drunk". Decisions decisions, do I take crazy asian home and risk waking up like john bobbit, or do I go home to my collection of internet porn. Yes folks internet porn, run away one day so that I can live to f**k another day. But my dumb ass will end up calling her this week! Just got to test the waters before I go swimming.

WOMEN

First of I want to express my condolences to the families affected by 9/11 please let's not ever forget.
Now for my post. WOMEN, who the hell can understand them, this has been an interesting week for me concerning my interaction with the crazier sex.
  • 1st incident. Week starts of with really great interaction with my one friend who lives on the west coast, then we have our disagreement, and now I am out a friend.
  • 2nd incident. I start talking to this one lady I met on the web( I know major geek), everything seems fine we make plans to meet, then she drops off the planet, no explanation. Let me tell you something folks, internet dating sucks. Another reason to hate the internet.
  • 3rd incident. I receive a phone call yesteday from a girl I used to have a crush, very cute, but not very smart. Turns out now that she is a stripper, I have nothing against strippers, just the industry, but that is a post for another day. Ok back to the stripper story, this girl calls me out of the blue, asking do I know anybody selling a civic or an accord. What the fuck do I look like? Craigs list, car soup.com, the damn classifieds in the newspaper. I responded sorry no, but I advised her on the best way of finding a used car, LOOK IN THE CLASSIFIEDS. So the small talk continues, then out of the blue she asks me to come over to her house later on that night. Now I'm thinking, it has been a long time since I have had female contact, but do I really want to submit myself to the mindless drivel which escapes her lips, keep in mind this girl is smoking. I respond call me later and see what I am up to. Well I didn't need to make a decision later, because I got a text later saying she had a headache and was going to bed. I suppose I would have been more offended, if I actually was interested in her.
  • 4th Incident. I decided to order pizza last night, I deserved it this week dammit. I ordered from Old Chicago, and who would take my order, but a girl I had a failed date with, so now I'm worried will my pizza come with those extra ingredients which we never order on our food. I already have enough sperm inside of me, I don't need anymore. Well as soon as I arrived at Old Chicago, I spot her, and she spots me. Her first reaction she turns to the girl next to her and whispers something in her ear. Oh My GOD, I have regressed and found myself back in middle school. I mean fine if you want to act juvenile and point out to your friend who I am, there are more tactful ways than grabbing the girl, looking in my direction, and start whispering in your friends ear. I don't tell my friends that your a crazy Asian female who has huge identity problems, and sleeps around to vindicate herself, oh no, I tell everybody on the internet.
  • 5th Incident. I get a phonecall from one of my friends at 1:30 in the A.M. This is how the conversation goes

FRIEND: Thomas you need to speak to this person, she is totally hot
me: uuuhhhh ok
SUPPOSEDLY HOT GIRL: Hi
ME: Hi, well this is uncomrfatble, tell me a little bit about yourself( I have no game)
SHG: Small talk about being a substitute teacher
FRIIEND IN THE BACKGROUND: She is totally hot, she looks like Maria Carey( I have never found Maria Carey attractive. The only reason I would put my dick in her mouth would be to shut her the hell up.)
ME: well nice talking to you, can I talk to my friend now.
A DIFFERENT GIRL: Hi I'm MT's friend, I heard about you(me and MT had had relations)It's a shame I have a boyfriend.
ME: Can I speak to MT
MT: So did you get her number?
ME: NO, it was too uncomfortable, send me a pic your your phone(first time camera phones have been useful, actually second time, first time was during sex, thats rt me and Paris are similar freaks) Ok give me her number, and I will call her tomorrow when there is less pressure.

So the picture arrives, and it is of this girls rack! Most impressive, but I would have preffered to have seen her face. I text back "her head seems to have gotten lost in the transmission, send a pic of her face". Second pic arrives, hhhmmmm , maybe it was just a bad picture, I know I dont photograph well. I will call her later on today

requiem for a friend

Today I said goodbye to a friend, and the sad thing about it was that it was all my fault, I had done some stupid things in the past week, and pretty much to cut a long story short, my friend did not want to continue our friendship, I completely understand where she is coming from, which is why I am not trying to fight her decision, I fucked up and now must pay for my actions. Friend if you ever read this ,again I apologize .

It's official I have seen the devil and his name is www.

8:oo A.M on a Friday morning, and I can barely open my eyes, I have found a new pastime, blogging, I had expected to be in bed yesterday by midnite, I walked the dog, worked out, packed my bag for the next day, getting ready to goto bed, when I receive a text from my buddy do I want to play poker online? I being the diligent worker that I am immediately said sure why not. But that is not where I discover the true evilness of the internet, oh no, I have started receiving comments on my blogs, thanks to all who have started reading, so with natural curiosity I started reading the blogs of the people who shared their comments with me, then I started reading their friend's blogs. 3 hours, and many entries later, I realize how addicting this damn blog things is. Now it's 8:00 A.M and I have to teach my first class in 15 mins with only 3.5 hours of sleep. Thank God the weekend is here

Im coming LA

I just got off the phone with the LAPD background investigation dept. and I have finally been assigned a background investigator, it looks like I may be moving pretty soon, well I hope I will be.

The drought continues

Ok this is my first post of a personal nature, anybody related to me goto another link, unless you have some perverse desire to know about what goes on in my sexual life. And that is the topic of the day, my non-existent sexual life, it has been months since my last sexual contact, and I have to admit it is getting most frustrating, its not like that I could not have sex at any given time, its just these stupid morals which stop me from fulfilling my carnal pleasures. I'm planning to move pretty soon, and I don't want to start something with somebody just to move away once you start to get to know that person. I suppose I could always do the pick someone up at a bar, and never call them again, but first I would have absolutely no idea on how to do something like that, and second I would feel like shit for treating somebody that way. Sometimes I wish I had friends who believed in non-committal sex :) this drought is killing me.

Summer is ending

This morning was especially hard to get out of bed, as the summer now draws to a close and the sun starts to rise later, I am now finding it just a little bit more difficult to drag myself from the warmth and comfort of my bed. Soon I will be getting up and it will still be dark, I so hate that. I pretty much don't see sunshine when that happens.

Damn Internet

I have really got to get on a better sleeping pattern , I am getting up everyday at 6:30 and not going to bed before 2:a.m, damn internet is turning me into an insomniac, and this new laptop is not making things any better for me. On a positivr note, I have now ran three days in a row, and tonight I was really not feeling it, but nanook dragged me out, I have also had a pretty clean diet, I'm almost embarrassed to say it but I have been doing the subway diet, a 6 inch roast beef for lunch, and a 6 inch roast beef for dinner, total cost five dollars. I'm almost excited to weigh in on Sunday and see where I'm at.

I'm baaack

Ok folks it would seem that the funk is over, after another good run last night and playing with my new toy till about 2:30 in the A.M I started to feel a lot better, so I go into school with a positive attidue and my lesson plans all typed up on my new laptop, and a mediocre smile on my face. My first two classes went extremely well, my third class went ok, but my last class still needs an attitude adjustment, but that's ok they are about to learn who has the biggest attitude. I ended up leaving with a bigger smile on my face than when I walked in.

I think the sun is starting to shine

Ok I have just finished working out, and I am starting to feel a little better, of course it just wasn't the exercise, I was able to talk to a new friend, and that helped a lot, new friend you know who you are, and I owe you a caramel apple martini. I also bought a new laptop, retail therapy, you got a love it. Hopefully tomorrow will bring me more pleasure than pain, and if it doesn't well there is always steak night at old country buffet(all you can eat steak, yummy).

When it rains it pours

What a shitty day, this is the second time I am typing this out due to my computer crashing on me when I tried to publish this last time. Ok here goes AGAIN
Today was the first day back at school with the kids, I am trying to stay positive and giving my all even though I don't want to be there and I know I will be leaving for LA soon. So the day starts off ok my first two classes go pretty smoothly, no problems, the kids listened, the lessons flowed well. My next two classes I wanted to throttle somebody, I had three little punks disrepect me, and there is not a thing I can do about it. I wouldn't let a grown person talk to me in this manner, so why should I let a kiss me ass child talk to me this way? Why, because we have parents who don't know a damn thing about parenting, a society which molly cuddles these little assholes, and an administration which is afraid to enforce some type of discipline in case of getting sued. Well once my last two classes were finished it was time for me to go the doctors, I had two appointments today, and this is how they went.
Appointment one: It turns out that the great medical benefits us teachers receive will not cover the cost for my medication, so if I want this treatment, I will have to come out of pocket, and I was told that I am a high candidate for it not working, and it could cause additional health problems. Could this day get any better!!!!!!!
Appointment two: Because my allergies are so bad this season I am going to another doctor to see if there is anything that can be done to relieve my misery, I was told there is an additional medicine I can take, but unfortunately the side effects could cause depression once I go off the medication, so I can be miserable now and in pain, or I can be miserable later. The wonders of modern medicine.
I am now going to go to the gym for a marathon session, and so help me god if anybody else crosses me today, I am ripping that person a new ahole

Nice guys finish last

Ok just finished abother 3 mile run, I have to admit i did not experience as much pain today on this run, I do feel a little better, but am still in one of my dark moods. What is it with females? They always complain about not being able to find a decent guy, but yet as soon as they find one all they want to do is push you to the limit, and find something wrong, then break your heart. I guess its true what thet say, nice guys do finish last.

Minneapolis sucks

What a crappy day, today I was reminded why I want to leave Minneapolis, apart from the lack of close friends, and working a job which I have lost the passion for(teaching). I just felt extremely lonely/different. I guess it it is partly my fault, I dont really mesh with a lot of people around here, so I dont really try to make the effort to meet new people. I'm going to go for a run in a little bit, hopefully that will improve my mood.

If fat celebs can do it?

Ok I am now inspired to clean up my eating habits. I have just finished watching the season finale of celebrity fit club, and if those overweight has beens can lose all that weight with their pampered life styles, then I can surely lose a couple of pounds. Well we shall see, I will use this blog to monitor my performance, and hopefully share my successful results. Now where did I leave that pan of apple crisp?

Good intentions

Today was a pretty boring day, I pretty much spent the first part of the day indoors doing sweet F.A, but once I was able to get motivated to get of my caramel colored ass I took my dog, Nanook, to lake Calhoun. My goal was to walk around it twice, which is approximately seven miles. Now why would anybody want to walk seven miles for pleasure? Believe me it wasn't for fun, again this part of my whole trying to get back into shape regime. For the last two days I have run around Lake of the Isles, which is approximately three miles, (I swear that lake has grown, I really do not remember it given me as much trouble to run around in the past). But to my credit I was able to complete running around both times. Well in the interest of me not killing my old knees, I decided to walk today and give my body a rest, and how did I reward my body? Oh yes! Dollar burgers at williams pub, so much for my good intentions. Tomorrow I have set myself the goal of doing a three mile run at seven in the morning.

In the beginning

Well here you have it, my first ever blog entry. Now the million dollar question, why am I starting a blog? Well the answer my friends and enemies, is there is no one answer, but a plethora of reasons.
1. I am hoping to start a career in law enforcement, and thought it would be a good idea to chronicle my experiences leading up to and including the training process of becoming a LAPD officer.
2. My life has been a roller coaster this year, due to problems with job, relationships, and all the other bullshit which life throws at us, and i think it would be a good idea to chronicle my fight back to happiness (hence the rebirth of cool title).
3. I was greatly influenced by a friend of mine who also has a blog.
4. It will be a way for family and friends who do not have regular contact with me to keep abreast of what is going on in my life.
5. I will also be able to rant and rave about whatever thing I want, and believe me I like to rant and rave. I am Thomas, hear me roar.
Ok on ending I just want to thank a few people, and publicly acknowledge them,
first and foremost, I have to thank my mother, you are strongest person I know, and you are always there for me, I know I dont say it enough, but thank you and I LOVE YOU.
Mokolege, you are my sage, you always know the right thing to say and give the right advice no matter what the situation.
Powder Blue (you know who you are) thanks for the inspiration in starting this quest, we will see how long I can keep it up.
See you tomorrow same bat time, same bat channel.
