Weekend Review

Sorry it's been so long since I've posted something! I haven't been home too much in the past few days. Anyway, I had a great weekend! I played WOW, went to a friends birthday party, and got sick from drinking way too much. Again...Oh well. It was a good time at least! I had someone to take care of me while I was sick and I'm very grateful for them. So grateful! But the reason I got sick is because I don't know when to say no! Especially when my middle name that was written on my red plastic cup is being yelled non-stop until I come and take another shot. Let's just say it was an awesome night! Just don't want to do it again for a little bit.

Anywho, I also finally saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince! It was a great movie and I even cried a little. The only thing I would've like more was a little more darkness in the movie. The book was so dark and they left most of those parts out. But it was still a good movie. And here are a couple reasons why I enjoyed it:

Tom Felton. We know him better as Draco Malfoy.

And Freddie Stroma who plays Cormac McLaggen.

Dumbest Drivers

It takes a lot to make me mad. I'm generally a very laid back guy and rarely lose my temper, but the times I usually do are when I'm behind the wheel. I don't get mad because I have road rage and want to own the road and piss everybody off. I get mad because of the plain stupidity of Utah drivers! I swear they are the dumbest people behind the wheel! They don't know any traffic laws whatsoever and that probably has something to do with the amount of wrecks on Utah roads.

Not only are they dumb, but they are also selfish on the road. It's all about me, me, me and they don't give a shit who else is on the road. They don't let people over, they don't let people merge, they don't get over for faster traffic, they don't use their signals, and they sure as hell think they aren't doing anything wrong! Ahhhh! It makes me fucking angry!

Maybe their stupidity has something to do with the poor driver's education system in Utah. I know my driver's education was horrible, but that doesn't mean I didn't learn the basic laws of driving and to be a courteous driver. I think everyone should be required to retake the driver's education test every few years or after they have a certain amount of moving violations. Now that may sound unreasonable, but if it makes people more aware of other cars on the road and makes them better drivers, we will have safer roads in Utah. Just a thought.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

I have finished the novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies by Jane Austen and Seth Grahame-Smith! Few books have ever made me laugh out loud, but this one did on multiple occasions because of the random placement of events involving zombies, ninjas, warrior women in dresses wielding various weapons, and all the blood and gore that should accompany said subjects. It was a delightful read and I recommend it to anyone who is looking for something to pass the time and be thoroughly entertained. I was able to enjoy it because it was given to me as a gift. Thank you, Sexy! You know who you are. Below are some lines from the novel:
  • "It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains."

  • "Two adult unmentionables-both of them male-busied themselves feasting upon the flesh of the household staff."

  • " 'My dear girl' said her ladyship, 'I suggest you take this contest seriously. My ninjas will show you no mercy.' "

  • "The smoke from Darcy's musket hung in the air around him, wafting heavenward through his thick mane of chestnut hair."

Now the question is what do I read next? Any suggestions?

High Tide

There's no greater joy than having to get up at the ass crack of dawn to head to work! Okay technically I was there before the ass crack of dawn, so I got to enjoy the whole ass crack in all its glory! I will say it was beautiful. Being at work that early has its advantages. For one, I'm pretty much still asleep, so time moves as if that were true. That is until I have my coffee to wake me up and then the clock seems to rewind. Another advantage is any customers that come in that early are asleep like me and don't have the energy to be assholes like those that come later in the day. You really get to know people when you work at any type of retail job and what dumbshits they can be. Speaking of dumbshits, let me tell you about the dumbshit of the day!

Work was going well for the first several hours because it wasn't busy so I was able to get a few things done. As soon as my coworker arrived, however, that's when chaos started to ensue. I went into the office to do my assistant manager duties but wasn't able to finish them because of some missing vital information, which hopefully will be found tomorrow. So when I got as much done as I could I went back out to the registers to help customers. Now I'd been drinking lots of water after my coffee so let's just say my bladder was ready to explode inside me!

As soon as I had the chance I ran to the restroom to relieve my poor bladder, but no! I couldn't do so and why? Because some dumbshit let the toilet overflow! Why he let the toilet overflow when there was a plunger in plain sight next to said toilet I will never be able to comprehend! So water was everywhere and thank God it didn't smell, otherwise there might have been a little of my Honey Nut Cheerios breakfast to go with the water I had to mop up. Yes, I mopped it up and it took forever! We didn't really have another method for doing so. It was a lot of water, so about 45 minutes to an hour later the floor was finally dry. I kind of felt like Cinderella in the scene where she's mopping and she starts singing and you see her in the bubbles...let's just say I didn't sing because I was too pissed off at the dumbshit that wasted an hour of my time and prevented me from doing my other duties at work. Alright enough about that.

Holy hell this post is long! But it's my first, so please forgive me. Will you?
