Last Time I saw a mouth like yours it had a hook in it.

  • Well,
    I don’t post much....because as my title of this little blog states.... “Basically a chronicle of everyday observations that i find amusing or disadvantageous to society, and bad jokes....” Well, lately it seems that every thing I come across is disadvantageous to society and I can’t type that much and All I’ve been hearing lately are bad or old jokes. So, I write before you with a collection of thoughts in hopes of jumpstarting my day at work and to clear the creative cob webs that definitely are accumulating.
    Long Drive Schedule for the next decade starting with next week:
    July 27 - Dallas
    August 3 - Mansfield, OHIO
    August 10 - Detroit, MI
    August 17 - Hooksett, New Hampshire
    August 24 - Canneaut, PA
    September 7 - Rockford, Il
    September 14 - STL
    September 21 - Dallas
    So I’m never around. Which is great. That means I don’t have to take my job with me when I go home. I usually don’t anyway but every time I leave it feels like a mini vacation. Although, I usually compete so hard that I don’t even firkin relax. But that’s a choice I guess. There are also cons that come with that schedule. I miss a lot of people. This little insignificant Niche sport that I choose to compete in is only relevant to my little head therefore a lot of people can’t share it with me. Again, that’s a choice. Some people are scared to be apart of it in fears that they will be labeled wrongly. My answer is...get over yourself.
    SO work sucks. Someone always says that I’m spinning my wheels. Well, I’m starting to believe it. This worlds sucks because people work for a means to an end...got food on table...roof over head...gas in the tank for piece of crap or a brand new piece of crap....oh...did I mention I get a 401k and insurance...my problems are solved..(sarcasm).
    Its so cliché to point out that people usually don’t work in areas that they are passionate about....but I really would take less money to work around something that even remotely involved golf. Even ballwasher..and for all of you that took that as an innuendo...can go wash your own balls....
    But again...as sometimes the job gets boring difficult or unpleasant it tends to reveal what I need to be doing with my life. I help the newbies in the office sometimes. The ones that are temporarily below me while they acquire their law degrees. They come to me for help...and sometimes I wish I was their professor so I could fail them on the spot...not for lack of IQ...but lack of social graces and them pushing the limits of being a cognizant human being. It makes me want to vomit like one of those revolving sprinkler systems that the neighbor likes to put by my car...good thing its not a new piece of crap or I’d have water spots.
    But seriously, I help a couple people out in the office that just don’t get it. There was a time I didn’t get it. But then again I didn’t go around to my superiors and ask them “what have you done today for mankind?”. Yeah, I got that question the other day. My answer....I paid for parking, I paid for coffee, gave the homeless dude a quarter, held the door open for someone who didn’t say thank you, held the elevator door for someone who didn’t say thank you, gave inventors some insight on patent protection, paid for lunch, didn’t flip anyone off on the drive home, and paid the cleaning lady.
    And this schmuck wants to know what I did for mankind because he has a masters degree in engineering and uses the Koran? Can I get a large WTF? I’m no Sista Thereasa but come on. It’s true. There are social barriers. And a complete lack of IQ will never knock one down. And this guy isn’t from round here if you couldn’t tell.
    But back to my point of necessity is the mother of invention or in my case my problems at work reveal what I’m good at. And its actually talking to people and not making them feel like they just got off the boat. I entertain this guy, I bite, I give in, I visit his opinions. And somedays its about topics that I have no business defending. Like Christianity. But when people start throwing Mecca around like its Cancun on spring break I pipe up. Or in this case...why radical attacks are justified. The lawyer in me speaks up. I say look bucko....My father doesn’t send me out to get killed for the good of the family...My god sends his son to die for all of mankind. Now I’m not gonna sit here act like I preach that every Sunday because I don’t. And some people disrespect me because of it. I’m dealing with it. But like any decent engineer or lawyer I need a case or a hint of proof. I’m I must say I get little more proof all the time.
    I don’t come across that brutal though. I actually take the time and coach this little guy along. And he said thank you for it. Regardless of what I did it took massive patience. Therefore I need to be doing something that involves me socially and they can utilize whatever it is I’m good at to benefit the group. But dammit the Priesthood said I was too good looking or something and all the nuns would quit...so I digress.
    But overall stuff in general is good. I feel like there is something massive on the horizon about to happen. This is a good and bad feeling.

Chief,

Some great thoughts and comments. It sounds like you're challenging the ever-constant "status quo" that tells us we have to think, live and act a certain way. Never mind the fact that we may have our own opinion on something. Just because someone says something they believe is the truth doesn't make it the truth. Or does it?

I found out a long time ago that I'd much rather be doing something I love while eating beans and rice than tokin' it up in a big house and dread going to work everyday. But that's me...and maybe you it seems. Of course, maybe there's room for both?

Keep stickin' it to the man...

Goldie
