So I don’t mean this seriously, but at the same time just think about all of the crazy shit that has happened in the past few years. All I know is I’m living it up for the next 2 years…
Example 1: Tornado damage from Alabama… this storm destroyed entire cities, police and medical departments, and left 10000’s without power. This happened YESTERDAY!
Example 2: Japan. Enough said… this shit was crazy and they were still experiencing aftershocks and other earthquakes the days following the tsunami.
Example 3: This is a Chicago highway. And this was not the only storm like this during January, there was another less than 2 weeks later, which was even worse. At one point every single state with the exception of Florida had snow on the ground. That includes Hawaii.
And those 3 events all happened THIS YEAR.
Throw in the oil spill which decimated the gulf shores, the Haiti earthquake AND hurricane that the country is nowhere near recovering from, the heatwave in Russia last year, and flooding in the US and Pakistan - just from 2010 and the world has gone crazy.
And if you think I’m exaggerating, read this article:

I’m just saying… maybe we should start taking better care of the place we live if we want the world to stick around. I plan of having a fantastical 2 years, and if we make it beyond 2012 I don’t plan on going anywhere for a long long time.

My life as a bar manager. Pretty good stuff. I got my first paycheck today, I can’t complain. The money is definitely right for the moment.
My latest project is to set up a rewards program for the bar. Sort of like Taco Mac’s Brewniversity, or the Clevelander’s Rock Star Rewards. I need a catchy name. I’ve been racking my brain and haven’t come up with anything.
Something with beer or Cervezas. I can’t think…

What is it about guys? They think if you’re being friendly or what to hang out and bullshit that equals I’m interested in hooking up or dating you. What is that?
Can’t we all just be friends? But seriously. I don’t understand. Maybe it’s a Miami thing… that you can’t have guy friends without underlying intentions. I have a friend, let’s call her Laura and there is a boy, Steve. So Steve is a regular at Laura’s bar… comes in a few times a week, we all hang out with him after work at the other bars - he’s a pretty good friend of all of ours. And Laura is a pretty cute girl and when you throw in her personality, she’s a pretty awesome catch. Steve, not so much in the looks department, but great personality. Laura finds out that Steve has been mentioning to a mutual friend about how he’s ‘doing work’ and he’s ‘got this situation on lock.’ I hear this and start laughing. Hard. Can’t breathe, need a glass of water type laughing, because it’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. All Laura is guilty of is being nice and having fun. She’s never led him on, never given any sign of being attracted to Steve, nothing. And here he is thinking that he’s got it in the bag. Waiting for Laura to slip up, have a few too many drinks, or a moment of mis-judgement. Moron.
It’s annoying. I just get along better with guys than girls. I love sports, beer, enjoy the outdoors, being active… ‘guy stuff’. I don’t do the whole let’s get our nails done, drink martinis, and pretend we are from Sex and the City. So I just want friendship with no strings attached, no intentions of hooking up… but apparently that’s just far too much to ask. Sigh.

The firm alarm in my building went off at 8:30 AM this morning - it was so loud I thought the world was ending. Thunderstorms at 9:00 AM kept me from falling back asleep. While walking Spot at 9:30, he pulled me, I slipped b/c of the puddles from the thunderstorms and busted my ass… and my toe. 11:23 AM, I still can’t stop the bleeding from the dog incident.
I LOVE Mondays!
