totally off subject but if a bottle of $230 Blue Label tastes this good..... a 1200 bottle of blended whiskey is probably better than sex (or at least what I imagine sex to be like being a virgin and all).

holy crap
...and no, I don't have all the answers. I don't know how to jolt myself into seeing what each moment could become. But I do know one thing: the solution doesn't involve watering down my every little idea and creative impulse for the sake of some day easing my fit into a mold. It doesn't involve tempering my life to better fit someone's expectations. It doesn't involve constantly holding back for fear of shaking things up.

They told us we were getting 8-12 inches between Friday night and Saturday morning.  Ended up with almost 2 feet.  And more is supposed to come tomorrow. 
I got my car stuck 3 times getting home from work Friday night.  It took me over 2 hours to get home and I live about 2 miles away.

I woke up this morning to 9 texts from a drunk DoS:

1:20am: This is Patrick drunk texting
1:25:08am: GOogetoldmethatspacewasnotimportant, but In deference to the fact that you are possible smarter and certanly more erudite
1:25:34am: I will not trst it
1:30:02am: I wanted to send you a drink limmeril sutable for tattooing (13 notwithstanding ) but I can't rhyme in this state
1:30:46am: It could be haiku
1:32:35am: but I belive that you are
1:35:17am: Worthy of rtrue rhyme
1:36:09am: kiopiling approves


:wubbles:, even though I'm not entirely sure what some of it meant.

And thank you, because no one's ever drunk-texted me before, so now I feel special.
I was having trouble with the on screen keyboard, so I wanted to see if I could get away with not pressing space.  Apparently, I googled weather or not it was OK to skip spaces, and google said it was, but I decided that improper speech to synth would be insulting, so I stopped that. 
The rest of it I can't really figure out, other than the fact that I thought that Rudyard Kipiling approved of my sentiment.

I thought Google told you that space (as in outer space) was not important, so boy was I off. I also got that you wanted to write me a limerick, but couldn't rhyme, so therefore you considered haiku, however even drunk you realized that's a lower form of poetry, and Kipling approved of that thought process.

The only thing I wasn't really sure of was the "13 notwithstanding" part.

And I'm rather flattered that even in your drunken state you were attempting to not offend me. :blush:

I believe that candy really did taste better when I was a kid, that it's aerodynamically impossible for a bumblebee to fly, that light is a wave and a particle, that there's a cat in a box somewhere who's alive and dead at the same time (although if they don't ever open the box to feed it it'll eventually just be two different kinds of dead), and that there are stars in the universe billions of years older than the universe itself...I believe in an impersonal god who set the universe in motion and went off to hang with her girlfriends and doesn't even know that I'm alive...I believe that life is a game, that life is a cruel joke, and that life is what happens when you're alive and that you might as well lie back and enjoy it.

So the boy calls me at work about 20 minutes before I usually leave because he went to take the dog out and found a "Notice to vacate the premises" on our door stating that we didn't pay our rent so they wanted us out by Thursday. I've never missed a payment or even been late. I went straight to my bank account and found the cancelled check that was deposited on 2/1, the day rent was due. Turns out instead of crediting 2510 Apt. 201, they credited 2501 Apt. 201. So all's straightened out now. But for the hour it took to get it settled, you did NOT want to be anywhere in my vicinity.

Wine is good.

that's awful...

you'd think they'd call you, and warn you they hadn't gotten a check, etc...

When I asked her why we hadn't received any previous notice, she said she'd called several people on Saturday to forewarn them, "but didn't get around to everybody."

I almost strangled her.

I discovered Friday night that when my car slides across four lanes of traffic and I get stuck sideways across two lanes where cars would be heading downhill and just rounding a bend before smashing into me, I really don't know what to do.  I discovered last night that when almost the exact same thing happened to me again, that I should probably avoid that hill when coming home from work late in the snow.  Especially when no one gives a fuck about plowing around here. 

I also enjoyed when I called the police for help and told them I was stuck, I was told, "Yeah, everybody's stuck ma'am..." 
That really helps.

The city has been damn near shut down since Friday.  I can't even watch the news because I'm too tired of hearing everyone bitch about it.

Did I even have a signature last time??
