Farting or the Rain?

Yesterday night my smoke alarm went off at 330am. It woke me up and gave me a fright because I thought the building was on fire. Turns out that the alarm is not hooked into the general building fire alarm of the condos, and is just a general alarm for my unit. Not knowing that, I looked outside and...

My new condo is paradise for 1

It’s a great place to live, not just to visit. My new house…er, condo is the best place in the world. The condo’s new carpets and painted walls, lighting that’s recessed and controlled by dimmer switches, and a fully functional kitchen, make life grand. The challenge here is to clean the place up so... Sign in to see full entry.

Life is easy when its boring

That was a quote from a song by the rock band “The Police”. It’s a song that’s given me a lot of time to reflect upon life and the moments that go by. I know that life is easy when its boring and for the most part, I enjoy those moments. Nothing to do but eat, sleep, and play video games. I kinda... Sign in to see full entry.

"The Descent" is one scary movie

The movie scared me so much that I jumped out of my seat! This is something like “Deliverance” except without the banjos. It’s all-female cast gave really good performances and the movie was a “chick flick” that was more guy oriented than a lot of other movies. I would definitely see this on video,...

Moving should be punishment for prisoners

If you want to talk about cruel and unusual punshiment for human beings in general. I just moved 3 1/2 miles from my old place to the new place. Talk about back strain, pain, heavy lifting...well moderate lifting. I closed on my new condo the other day and started moving in immediately. One thing... Sign in to see full entry.

My sister-in-law..the 300lb irresistable bitch!

The relatives are in town, and the stress level is increasing. My sister-in-law is a bit on the hefty side with a nasty attitude. What's even worse is that she thinks that I'm in love with her! She's got the most arrogant attitude and condesending manner on the planet. She constantly insults me and... Sign in to see full entry.

Kids are OK in small doses

I do enjoy having my nephews around me but only in small doses. I think they're fantastic but I know that I made the right decision when I decided not to be a dad. They say that discretion is the best part of valor, meaning you have to know when to to run and when to fight. This can be put into life... Sign in to see full entry.

A frustrating day

I learned the other day that my condo couldn't close because my bank put a 7 day hold on my bank check! It's incredible, but the banks can change the rules when they want to, or when they need it. My bank is claiming a high amount of fraud and therefore is using a new rule, which they claim the... Sign in to see full entry.

I just can't resist this site

I tried staying away because I was so bored and tired of this...but the days go by and there are lots of things that fill up my head. Ideas, new adventures, and opinions; I have to get at least 20 cents of my big mouth on virtual paper. There's just too much to coment on in life to let it go by... Sign in to see full entry.

A billion dollar company that can't do their scheduling

I waited all day for the technician from Verizon to show up at my doorstep. He never did. Apparently the “dispatch” of the labyrinthine Verizon Corporation did not know that my last install was rescheduled. As a result, I waited in vain until someone told me that the install was never going to... Sign in to see full entry.
