Bullshit Manifesto

You scored as Postmodernist. Postmodernism is the belief in complete open interpretation. You see the universe as a collection of information with varying ways of putting it together. There is no absolute truth for you; even the most hardened facts are open to interpretation. Meaning relies on context and even the language you use to describe things should be subject to analysis.

Yesterday when I came in to work I wanted a cup of coffee. I went in to the break room to the industrial coffee machine, only to find that there was not any coffee to be had. I emptied the filter, replaced it, put grounds in, put water in the machine, and brewed a pot. The machine sucks ass, so even though I have put good coffee in there, the coffee sucks without sugar and milk. I prefer to only add milk, but I had to add sugar to take away some of the bitterness.

Today, they installed a new machine from Starbucks that will straight up make me a fresh cup of coffee at the press of a button, or rather 3 buttons. Size, type, start. Size is self explanatory, but you might ask what I mean by type. Well, you can get hot chocolate, decaf, or regular. You can get normal hot water to make tea or the like. THIS MACHINE ROCKS MY SOCKS.

That is all.

I haven’t had a 3 day weekend in quite some time. I used to have them every other week, which was nice. Now I get a normal weekend every week, which is a bit less flashy, but it is sure nice to get every weekend off. This holiday weekend, however, was a change back to the old days when I could sit on my ass one extra day and do nothing.

First and foremost, I watched a fair amount of DVD’s. I went through my alotted 3 discs from Netflix. I will be writing a review shortly on vagueidea for those DVD’s. In short, Wes Anderson makes some good movies, Robin Williams should play more dramatic roles, and you can’t touch 24.

Saturday was a day of sleeping in, taking Joni to the vet to have a wound examined (she tried to jump a fence, is what we’re thinking), and chilling around the house. I missed a message left by the Pookie about a BBQ that night, which had me bummed, but then I was dead tired anyhow, so I guess everything turned out okay.

Sunday was Milca’s brother’s birthday. While Milca and her mom made canelones, I went to give my mom a ride to work as a favor for my brother Corey so he could use her car for the day. I brought my other brother Charles along, and brought him back home. From there we moved a buttload of roofing tiles in Milca’s jeep up to the house, and out on to the patio. Thank god it was overcast, otherwise I would have sweat bullets. Milca’s aunt and uncles came over to the house for the birthday dinner, but the birthday boy had partied too hard the night before, and was vomiting at home, unable to get in a car. That crazy guy… At any rate, dinner was good, good times were had, and Charles spent the night. We had some good times.

Yesterday I was made to be everyone’s chauffeur, as Charles needed a ride home then to band practice, and my mom needed to be picked up for work so Corey could continue to use her car. If you are counting, that’s 2 he owes me. I then went to the gym for yoga only to find that all classes were cancelled for the holiday. While I was bummed that there was no yoga, I did work out and got some good leg presses in. FEEL THAT BURN!!

Went home, had yummy veggies and rice for dinner, then went to bed. All in all, a relaxing and fun filled weekend. I wish I had more time off, but then don’t we all?

Poop.

So, I’ve got this friend Justin who says he won’t sign up for MySpace because he doesn’t want to be made available to the people that can find you on MySpace. Namely, people from high school you don’t have an interest in communicating with. I tend to agree with him from time to time. Right now, in fact.

An old flame sent me a message. She was the last girl I had been with before my wife, and she just disappeared for a long time. Now she exists again. We’ll see what that means.

Every job I have ever had has followed the same general evolution.

1) Job is great. People are great. I’m happy.

2) Job is great. People are great, but you hear them gripe more. I’m happy, but have a few gripes myself.

3) Job gets to be a bit tiring/taxing, but I still enjoy the work. Some people start to show their true colors a bit, but this typically only means that I figure out that they are really annoying, and that I don’t want to talk to them. I’m happy, but I’m starting to think about how this job isn’t too different from all the others I’ve had.

4) It just goes downhill from here.

Right now I’m somewhere between 2 & 3. People are griping that their raises, that were overdue, were meager at best. One guy is quitting because of it. We have mandatory overtime regularly, but they aren’t hiring people fast enough.

I’m fine, but I can see how this might get a little icky. At least there’s the customers. Never thought I’d be able to say that ever. 🙂

Google Chris Loop and I’m number 1. There used to be a buttload of other sites that would come up, but you can’t keep The Loop down. BOOYAH!

The Riddler is dead.

I was not let down, but I wasn’t impressed. I thought I would have more to say about it, but really, I don’t. There were gaps in the story I couldn’t get around, but apart from that, no gripes really. I had been numbed by the previous two movies, so I don’t think my reaction is as strong as it might have been if this were the only prequel made.

Well, at least I have now seen the movie, and I can move on to the Harry Potter goodness that I have to look forward to.
