 | 06:26 pm - Wow, people are weird
SO my car is possessed. I took it into the shop to get the check engine light checked out, and it suddenly wasn't on anymore as soon as they started messing with it. I think my car is hiding something.
And, people are weird.
And, it's flattering to have someone try to push a social interaction on you really, especially in the context that it happened to me recently, but it's a little uncommon... rare even... for me so I think I screwed it up by not being able to react with grace and appreciation.
Anyhoo. Ramble on.

| 06:44 pm - Teusday
So as the clock tics, running down the time until I leave for Richmond, I can't help but get excited.
Richmond and I have a "love hate" relationship. I hate the city, but I love the people and places in it. I miss a few people pretty hard... Rick (my buddy), Michelle, Devon, Amanda, Kira, Theta Tau... so many. I'm just thanking fate I have the chance to go back before November, but wishing I could have more time there.
Oh, and I got my kilt today! I'm pretty stoked. It's comfy.
Anyhoo. Maybe more later.

| 09:05 pm - Bored?
I don't know what it is about the internet that attracts me to it, but it's again 9pm on a weeknight. I was going to start reading a new book this week and so far I'm failing at it. How does so much time pass on this tube??
Dear internet,
leave me the hell alone!
Sincerely,
Brad

| 05:44 pm - Monday?
So I thought I'd go in at 7am this morning and be all early so I could get some things done. I arrived at 645am and realized I was 45 minutes late. Oops. Physical Inventory scheduled for today and tomorrow. My bad, yo! But, it's all good because I don't punch a time clock and I bust my ass generally most of the time while I'm there.
Tiffany (my car. I named her because I'm vain. Get over it. Shallow maybe. But not really. Also, Tiffany is a good name for a dirty little whore) is having issues. I am getting her a checkup this week, but I don't think I can get her fixed up before I head down to Va for a few days... so, hopefully the trip doesn't cause more damage. Stupid check engine light... persistent little bugger!
I also discovered another communication barrier with people native to New England. Apparently asking "What time do you close?" when talking to the UPS guy is like asking "What is the meaning of life, the universe, and all things?" because I get an answer that makes no sense at all, but is completely awesome and satisfying. I was having a package delivered to me at work today and they messed up the street number, so it never came. I called to see if I could pick it up at the distribution center, and the guy was like.."we close at 6." But he then explained (rather poorly, hence my confusion) that I could let him know if I wanted to have it delivered tomorrow or go pick it up... but the driver might not get there before close... but I could pick it up. But... what? So confused. I had to spell it out and ask "can I pick it up tonight, after the driver gets back, regardless of the time?" To which he said yes, they'd call me with a time to come get it.
Sheesh! So much hassle...lol
So, in order to rid myself of CT's lameness I am heading to Va for a few days. I then plan to hit up Boston again soon. But, next year I am definitely going on an Alaska Cruise for 8 days I think. If you're interested, and don't mind the cold, let me know! I'd love to make it a big outing or something!
Ok later!

| 09:32 pm - It's been a long time...
So, I haven't posted up in years. Really, go check the dates. And I don't mean anywhere, I refer specifically to this thing here. Why does it matter, you might ask? Just get on with it! you might say.
I read something and it inspired me to write.
I am offended by guys who don't get a flippin clue. Specifically guys who don't seem to get a clue when it comes to girls. It bothers me when a guy acts like a hero and tries to always know what's best for "his woman" and really doesn't ASK, and then more importantly LISTEN.
This rant is motivated by a couple of things. I shared some stories this weekend with someone who seems to be pretty cool, and those stories got me thinking. But, then I witnessed something that seriously made me want to get up and break someone.
Granted, the chick was acting completely psycho and really just needed to stfu... but, when the guy started forcibly handling her, I got irritated. I was sitting on some random steps at Yale campus around 1am last night. I had just finished a lovely evening of watching a very entertaining movie and having a couple of drinks... when out of nowhere this guy and girl walked down the alley into the street. She was flipping out about something, it sounded like she suspected "her man" of screwing around. He, of course, wanted to console her and try to help her become more rational, but in his attempt he himself became irrational. Things got "ugly." I thought he was being pathetic when he rushed up to hug her... like a little, subservient lap dog...but really he was trying to gain leverage. He picked her up as she screamed, and he then shoved her into the back seat of a car. I started to get up, because it looked like he was starting to do some not very nice things to her, but he looked back and realized he was being watched I suppose. He then shut the back door, jumped in the driver's seat, and drove off. With her screaming the whole time.
Now, I don't care how psychotic a chick is, you don't treat a woman like that. If she wants to flip out, let her. Walk away. If she follows, she wants you to listen... so do so, then walk away.
So, today I read something someone posted about creepy guys and how they should start carrying "harmful objects" with them. What the flip is wrong with people these days? Dude, if she OBVIOUSLY isn't interested, go the pluck away!
On the other hand, ladies, if you haven't told him outright and direct that you aren't interested and he should leave you alone, rather than continuing the nice, maybe even flirty behavior, then I'm not surprised he's not getting a clue.
Anyway. So it's been an interesting weekend. I enjoyed some stories of struggle and conquest, and learned a few things. All in all I feel like it wasn't a wasted weekend. More importantly, I feel like I would do it again anytime. Except minus the part where I watch that guy throw that girl into his car.
Peace!
