Crappy days in the life of a Dad

Son calls "Dad I found this axe in the yard and... we're at the ER now"
Daughter says "My friend Veronica taught me how to apply makeup"
Son says "Remember that axe? Remember that tree that hangs over the house?"
Daughter says "I met this guy... he's 28"
Son says "So my friends and I were hanging out and we decided we wanted to go for a joyride... and since you had the coolest car of any of our dads..."
Daughter says "You know how we were in Vegas Last weekend? Well (insert name of jerk boyfriend here) and I thought it'd be really romantic if we..."
Son calls "I only get one phone call so don't hang up on me..."
Daughter calls "I didn't have dinner ready before he got home and he got angry and..."

Lucky dad-o-mine never got any of those

I may go get some breakfast... probably not... insomnia will be fun... pretty soon I'll be doing this on the weekends when I'm with Krystal... I'll become one of the people that get up early... gets up early and runs... those of you who have been with me on new years know that I get... interesting when I get no sleep... this doesn't translate into written word very well... mostly cause I type so freakin slow... but I'm having fun screwing with a friend right now... my coach just called me... he wants me to go move stuff...

Braden Room 224... with one of my friends even... life is now better

So I got angry today... not particularly so... just a little bit... did something stupid though... I hit one of the pillars in our building thinking "it's a support. It's got to be concrete." well I was wrong.. turns out the thing is made of paper-substance... It crumpled... campus safety came to my room and everything... luckily since it was only paper it'll only cost me like 100 dollars... I just won't be eating out like I thought for a few weeks but as long as they can give me those few weeks It won't change anything else... sounds like I'll still get a cheap room and everything... I'll probably have to write a apology letter but other than that... I'll be fine... I was shakin like a leaf when the officer asked for my I.D.... I already knew everything I just wrote too... I had confessed... which was funny cause I was just here cooling off before I was gonna go do that on my own... cause after I hit the thing I was really angry... anyway I shook after the deal was done pretty much... now I'm pretty calm... but I have to go to room selection which is not a calming experiance... at least I'm gonna see Krystal tonight

I almost blogged something very personal that none of you want to hear on here... I must be drunk or something... Oh well... last week I had to watch this really crappy play called "Marisol"... it was really very bad... now today I had to write a review on it... and, stuck in my memory, I found some cool parts that made me think ... I dunno why but I do that... when I think something is terrible I analyze it and find the interesting parts in it... I want to see it again now... frustrating brain... just allow something to be crappy

I stumbled across this post today and thought it very relevent


A recent post by Lisa got me thinking about ducks.

Back in college, two of my bestest friends in the whole wide world, Rick and Rich came to visit. Havoc was wreaked. At one point over the weekend, we were walking by a lake on the way to my apartment and there were a bunch of ducks. There was this mother duck who was walking by with all of her little ducklings not far behind. For some reason, Rich thought it'd be a good idea to step towards the duck in an attempt to scare it. I guess he just wanted to see what would happen. Well, for whatever reason, that set off a horrific chain reaction.

The mother flew only a few feet away, but must have quacked in an odd way, because just seconds later, a bunch of other ducks started chasing her. I am assuming these were male ducks, because there were about six of them that started to gang rape her. In front of her ducklings.

In defense of Rich, he didn't know that there were ducklings. He wouldn't have done that if he knew she had babies following her.

The best part was while the mother was being attacked, some dude in the dorm to the left of us yelled out, "You asshole!"

I just imagine there are a few adolescent ducks somewhere in south Jersey now, still traumatized by seeing their mom get gang raped. They are probably falling in with the wrong crowd, smoking cigarettes, maybe they turned gay. They are the asshole ducks that jump over all of the other ducks when you throw bread in the water. Or maybe (here comes the worst joke ever on this blog) they are quackheads. HA! Get it? Quackheads?! Instead of crackheads? See what I did there? Quack rhymes with crack. Ducks quack. They don't smoke crack. But if they did, perhaps they'd be quackheads. That's how I came up with that joke. It's awesome, right?

Anyway, who knew ducks could be so complicated?

I killed a man last night... I brutally hit him with a rounded object until he was dead... I made sure noone was looking and through my contacts this murder will be covered up and no authority shall know about it... I now have another target... while the last was a short round fiscal Republican male my next target shall be a tall blonde who favors Bunnys... completely random in my choices... I shall be silent as snowfall and dark in the shadows... I will kill all... in other words... I made my first sock wars hit

SOCK WARS!!!! A game we are playing in my dorm complex.... aren't we so cool
The point is to tag your target before you get tagged. Last man/ woman standing wins!
Don't tell anyone who your target is!
You must tag your target with a rolled up sock [no ballast allowed - that means don't put anything hard or lethal in your sock!]
NO ONE can see you do it - this is a game of stealth; be creative
Safe zones: during class, places of work while in session, dorm rooms, cafeteria, churches/temples while worshiping, funeral homes, club meetings (i.e. sorority/fraternity, ect.) No one may be tagged in these areas. - you can lure your target out of a safe zone.
Mano a mano - no accomplices (our RA thinks this means man to man... she's not proficient in language we shall say)
When you tag someone, their target becomes your new target.
When you are tagged, you must give up your target to the person who tagged you. (Please slip a note under my door stating who is out, and how and where they were tagged.)
I have final say. Any disagreements and/or discrepancy about the rules will be ruled upon by me. If you have any questions, ask me.
Remember, the point is to have fun and get to know the people in your hall. Don't take the game too seriously

I'm feeling pretty sick... Krystal's Gma said it be the flu... I hope she's wrong... anyway I talked to Craig on Sunday night... had a pleasant "take care with my daughter" chat... was pretty civil and such... went to make sure that Krystal's Aunt was ok for her surgery, Gastric Bypass... turned out well... she was out of critical care and into her own room by 6 that night... she'll get to go home soon... anyway I got to be part of the family kinda there and such... twas fun... I've never really done that with a girlfriend before... the total being two officially I wouldn't really think this odd I guess... My First girlfriend I never met or even talked to a single parent so that wasn't really an issue... It was obviously not intended to last any longer than it did... as for Krystal, I kinda assumed that I'd be getting to know her family while I was down here but that didn't really happen... would have been difficult to work anyway... but now we're seeing her Grandmother and Uncle a lot... this is kinda interesting... anyway I don't have much to say other then that so in essence this was kinda a waste of both our time... I'm gonna go waste said time in another way... homework perchance... who knows

sometime two people's feeling have a desperate need to be at the same place at the same time... one of them has to step on the other one... now in a normal world situation this is often the end of the story... however in the case that those two people have some sort of a relationship the feeling doing the stepping is ofton kind enough to get off... but those two feelings still need to be at that same spot... thusly the situation is normally reversed... seeing as the initial feeling (feeling A) just stepped on Feeling B it will allow it's self to be stepped on for a given period of time... however this sympathy doesn't last forever... eventually Feeling A will get so sore from being stepped on and once again go to stepping on feeling B... this will continue on for some time resulting only in the furthered soreness of both feelings... something has to happen to cause this cycle to stop... some outside force (their owners) has to force the feelings apart... there are two ways to do this... to drag the feelings apart... this causes either a weakening or a break in the relationship... the second way to get the feelings apart is for each of the owners to step between the feelings thusly becoming closer and stengthening the relationship... quite a few of us in our group have had this happen recently... like between Sean and I... now I don't feel any closer to Sean... In fact I feel even farther from him... but my feelings have healed and I can restart my side of our connection.... but this is the harder path... It all becomes much easier if instead we had stepped between our feelings..... I hope we can do it that way in the rest of our conflicts

I have just watched the most infuriating movie I have ever seen... O.... modern day interpretation of Othello.... I now want deperately to break something... It's dangerous for me to watch this movie... Blaine prolly won't survive the night... I say Blaine because I'm pretty sure Nataniel is faster... If I was up there I could vent said anger on trees or Jojo or something (I still haven't collected for little man's insurance) but down here... If I break something... I owe thousands of dollars at least... I need to take the martial art that they offer here... I forget which one it is... anyway luckily for you I won't be seeing anyone who reads this today... Here Blaine... Oh Here Blaine...................... crunch
