Fuck land lines, fuck them to hell and back.

So, for a personal issue, I was forced to go out and get a home phone for a few weeks. While I hate having a home land line, I needed to get it for house arrest. I just received my new phone and phone # 2 weeks ago today. Only a very select few people have this number and they are:

• ME, and my girl
• My Best Friend
• Cox
• House Arrest People

Thats it. So I’m thinking this phone will never go off, NEVER since none of these people have any reason to call me on my house phone.

The night was Wednesday the 20th, and I am sitting on my computer paying some bills when the phone rings. Ecstatic that I am getting a phone call, though perplexed on who was calling, I quickly rushed to the phone and answered. To my amazement I heard this:

“Is this Mr *****?” – Said the Gentleman.

“Yes it is, Sir, and you are?” Replied myself.

“This is Tim, So do you live out close to Elkhorn Crossing? Thats a nice place to camp. I use to live out in Fremont myself.” says Tim.

“No Tim I dont live by Elkhorn Crossing, What can I do for you?” I rebuttal annoyed by now.

“Well you have just Won 6 months worth of free. . . .” CLICK!.

My first call on my home line and it was a Telemarketer. Since then I have had another 7 calls, 6 more of which were telemarketers and the last and only call that was for me was from my Best Friend who felt like fucking around and calling AS a telemarketer.

All I can say is the day I got my phone turned on was the day Cox sold that # to the fucking telemarketers.

When I’m off house arrest, I’m getting ride of this land line FOREVER!

One bad day. . .

The day was Tuesday and it started out like every other with us running late to work. Right away I had this feeling in the pit of my stomach that maybe I should have just stayed in bed, but I tried to shrug it off and get on my marry way.

While driving to work I noticed instantly that my truck was making this bad, consistent knocking noise as we drove on the way to work. This pinging noise was very loud and very annoying. My initial though was that my shocks have finally busted and the internal metal was griding on every bump. This reasoning was due to the fact that my ex-mechanic told me the original noise was coming from my shocks and we were good for probably another 6 months if needed.

While making it to work, I told the fiancée that I would call and schedule an appointment that day for a repair of the truck’s shocks. As I was walking into work I realized I still had her cell in my pocket from this A.M. Now freaking out a little bit because knowing the condition of the truck and her not having a phone I begun to get paranoid. Started calling her office at 8:15, no answer, 8:23, no answer, then again at 8:30 no answer. Finally entering freak out mode I called one last time at 8:35 and she just walked in the door. Relieved I asked if the truck made it ok, she said yes but it was smoking. NOT GOOD.

Scheduling an appointment I found out the shocks were only gonna run me under 400 total for the repair. Thank god I can afford that. well I received this phone call at 12:15 from the auto shop with not so good news. They knew for sure it was not my shocks being my front tire was leaning 30 degrees out. FUCK. Right away I knew the bill would increase by at least double. Sitting and freaking out for 2 hours I reciever another call and this time they had the finial estimate and the problem.

When ever you mechanic calls and ask if your sitting down, you know thats not a good sign. I simply replied to him, “Nope, smoking a cig, shoot” . Well the real damage came out, and the cost for repair did too. I only wish it was double. instead it was gonna run me almost $1300 just to make the vehicle drivable again. This does not include the front and back breaks that need to be done as well, but I can do those a whole lot cheaper. Now in official panic mode, as we now have no working car, I live 10 miles from work, and shes 15 miles, no public transportation out my way and no money to pay this repair bill.

Thank goodness we arrived alive from our trip, being how bad the condition of the truck. Thank god for good friends in life who will help you out in a time of need. Without these people I would be up shits creak with no paddle.

Oh and to top off my “great” day, when I arrived home Tuesday night, I arrived with the surprise of being locked out. Since I needed to be inside my house no later then 6pm, I resorted to breaking my back window to enter they house. Lucky enough I have, well now had, extra replacement windows to replace those that I broke.

All in all, never again do I want to hear the phrase

“When it Rains, It Pours”

“Float” by Flogging Molly

drank away the rest of the day
wonder what my liver’d say
drink, thats all you can
blackened days with their bigger gales
blow in your parlor to discuss the day
listen, that’s all you can

chorus:
ah but don’t, no don’t sink the boat
that you built, you built to keep afloat

sick and tired of what to say
no one listens anyway
sing, that’s all you can
ramblin’ years of lousy luck
you miss the smell of burnin’ turf
dream, that’s all you can

chorus

singled out for who you are
it takes all types to judge a man
feel, that’s all you can
filthy suits with bigot ears
hide behind their own worst fears
live, that’s all you can
it’s all you can
it’s all you can…do

no matter where i put my head
i’ll wake up feeling sound again
breathe, it’s all you can
tomorrow smells of less decay
the flowers greet this bloomin’ fray
be thankful, that’s all you can

chorus

a ripe old age
that’s what i am
a ripe old age
just doin’ the best i can

Unfair Justice. . .

So after a long awaited 9 months i finally stepped up and went to court for my DUI from last December. Court went rather well and I only received 9 months of probation along with of course my mandatory 10 day sentence. Now the Judge said she had no problem with me being released on house arrest with a work release because I am a low risk individual, however due to Nebraska state Law I have to first self-surrender and THEN they will process me for house arrest. The only issue. . . is they dont have to grant the house arrest.

Yeah no granting me house arrest will simply just ruin my world as now i just found out the company i have poured my heart and soul into for the past 2 years will terminate me if I am unable to work during that 10 day period. So I would get locked up for 10 days, loose $700 in pay and THEN get fired. wow what a week.

All i can say is IF i get fired over this, there will be consequences to pay. .

Here we go again!!!!!

Just Released: Only 2 months after the City of Omaha had to go 100% smoke free the complaints are rolling in, and not from the smokers. Yes we smokers feel upset over this ordeal because we are forced to leave the bar and go outside in 100 degree or 0 degree weather to smoke. We bitch and we complain but we have to deal with it. Well NOW the complaints are not coming from people smoking on smoke friendly patios, and in front of business but the non-smokers who FORCED them to the streets to smoke in the first place. I don’t want to smoke outside the bar; I want to smoke inside the bar with my cigarette in one hand and a nice cold beer in the other. Here is my message to all you non-smokers in the city of Omaha, if you don’t want to be by cigarette smoke then I suggest you DON’T GO OUTSIDE. Just give up. You won the battle but I guarantee if you try to win the fight you will lose. We might as well ban cigarettes all together and in the offset increase state sales tax another 1.5 to 2% to offset the lost in taxes on tobacco (which is a lot of revenue btw) because us smokers pay triple tax rates or 23.5%; for those of you who can’t do math; on every single pack of cigarettes we buy. These people who sit and just have to find something to bitch at are driving me fucking bananas and I can’t wait to blow by damn smoky cloud your way next time our paths cross.

NO MORE TIME…..

Why does society take so much time of our lives away just to be able to live day to day?

Reaching for the Sky???

Some days this is how I fell, just always looking up wishing, praying, wanting more. Maybe I try too hard to want, and not enough to achieve?

This was taken in St Louis, in 2006. This was also taken the last time I took a vacation. since then I have been working for almost 2 years, going to school and working full time.

You want to believe that things happen for a reason, and I really truly try to believe that, but then again if all this is to be happening I really wish I would begin to see the reason behind it? besides the 2 great love in my life I’d be lost further in the sky then I am currently.

Graduation is quickly approaching. Will I make it? Yes I will, but its going to take a vast amount of time, and effort to pull off the greatest victory of my life to date, and thats a degree.
