4. Eleven goddamn boxes. ELEVEN!!
Goddamn motherfuckers can send 3 back at a time once a week, but nooooooo, they had to save them up and dump them all on me at once. Took up a third the fucking trailer! And they were only my 2nd stop. I had to do five fucking more after that. Motherfuckers.

5. I don't have...
.
...a "UNIT Manager".
.
.
.
Perhaps I'm misunderstanding that concept entirely...
but you've given me a very big sad.
.
.
.
.
On the positive side... I AM extremely, um... you know...
oh... what's a proper euphemism... AH..."self-sufficient".

7. That nobody says "What's your beef?" anymore?
Darn vegetarians... "What t'fu?" doesn't have the same ring to it.

16. Now that made me laugh out loud!
And the more I look at it the longer I laugh! It looks like a Comedy of Errors of wannabe imitation Three Stooges.

26. And, by all counts, would have remained just as young...

P.S. Your signature line is great.

18. I actually don't have any gripes.

Just logical conclusions on what works, and what does not. And what should be and what is not.


But whatever way things are or turn out is fine with me, since they will be just, or not at all.


Shania Twain.

That Don't Impress Me Much.

But you've got being right down to an art
You think you're a genius, you drive me up the wall
You're a regular original, a "knowitall"

Ohwooh, you think you're special
Ohwooh, you think you're something else

Ok, so you're a rocket scientist...

That don't impress me much!
So you got the brains, but have you got the touch?
(Now) Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much!

aha-yeah

I never knew a guy who carried a mirror in his pocket
And a comb up his sleeve, just in case
And all that extra hold gel in your hair ought'a lock it
'Cause Heaven prevent, it should fall outta place

Ohwooh, you think you're special
Ohwooh, you think you're something else

Ok, so you're Brad Pitt...

That don't impress me much!
So you got the looks but have you got the touch?
(Now) Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
That don't impress me much!

You're one of those guys who likes to shine's machine
You make me take off my shoes before you let me get in
I can't believe you kiss your car good night
C'mon baby tell me, you must be joking, right??

Ohwooh, you think you're special
Ohwooh, you think you're something else

Ok, so you got a car...

That don't impress me much!
So you got the moves, but have you got the touch?
Don't get me wrong, yeah I think you're alright
But that won't keep me warm in the middle of the night
<..>
But that won't keep me warm on the long, cold lonely night
That don't impress me much!

Ok, so what do you think... you're Elvis or something...
That don't impress me much!


To be fair, I don't think it is offence to Brad Pit, but a reference to the Hector remark from Gladiator since Brad Pitt acted as a character that was an enemy of Troy in that movie, but that is a long story. And he was the not that bright of a guy in another movie.

19. At this point, it's with my daughter
who has made time this weekend to go to a music event at a coffee shop and then to a movie on Friday night, has gone off to a hookah bar with friends tonight, yet when I asked about us doing dinner on Sunday, I got a " uh, no...it's finals week". I told her that I just thought I'd ask since it was going to be Mother's Day. I got one of those "oh shit, I forgot" pauses from the room she was in. So she changed it to, "uh, maybe, maybe not, we'll see". Granted, she works 8am-5pm both days, but is part of an evening too much to ask for>

Yeah, I need to get off the pity pot, but it still has put me in a foul mood.


Plus she has misplaced my debit card to go grocery shopping for me on Friday, never went, and now she has misplaced the card. showing no signs of urgency to try and find it in between her social outings

29. I have to decide
Between having my birthday party with my cousins and mom, or going to see my best friend that lives almost three-hundred miles away, plus where she lives has the best fair ever in the face of the world. And it's only next weekend weekend.
But, then again, my cousin is making me a home-made two-layered coconut cake. And putting together a really nice birthday party that I don't feel worthy enough to deserve.
This stinks.
