what a beautiful day it is outside. this has turned into a really great day. when i started drinking last night at like 10, i thought i would be dying this morning. but, i made it to work. it was sunny even. it was not an experience filled with pain and terror. its the first time in a long time i didn't actually mind being at work for 4 hours. granted, i really didn't do anything. i was in charge of people again. that is always wierd, taking more of a supervision role. i always wonder what these people must think of me. its like, i'm sitting there, telling them what to do, trying not to sound like an ass so they will actually do it. i mean, i am their boss for those 4 hours they are there. but then, i drive off blasting jimmies chicken shack or something after the 4 hours, and they realize i'm just another 20 year old guy. its wierd for me at least. i bet they just don't care. its just a wierd twist in the whole battle against authority thing, actually having the authority. but yeah, this morning was pretty cool. showed up, it was all sunny, they showed up, etc etc. i was really worried, because they were brand new crews. surprisingly enough, it turns out that they are competant, and actually did the work. thats saying a lot. all the people i talked to were very friendly, and it was great. it has restored my faith in this whole idea of contract labor. of course, now i just sitting here in the office, hoping that no one else will walk in, so i don't have to actually start doing stuff. that could make my good day at work take a huge turn south, actually having to do work.
so yeah, is there some new religious revolution sweeping the country i should know about? i saw a jesus fish with a shark fin on the back of some car today. is it time to start being afraid? i mean, if jesus is taking a meaner take no prisoners attitude, i need to make preperations for my survival and stuff. i'm glad that some christians are thinking of themselves as predators now, waiting to swoop down on the rest of us unsuspecting sheep. christianity, top of the food chain!!!! i'm sorry, but if push came to shove, the nation of islam would smack down christianity. or, maybe this person just likes sharks, and god, so they put the two together. its like putting pizza and beer together, because you like them both. that would make sense....
what else to tell..... i really should stop blogging about people i know, like, oh say, matt and shannon. lol, sometimes i forget that people read this when i am kind of running around randomly spurting out ideas. something that may be funny to me could be inappropriate to post. although, if i stop to take everyone's feelings into consideration before i post, i'll never get anything down. i don't have any grand illusions anymore about how this blog is all for me, and it doesn't matter who reads it or all that. i like the fact that people come and read this stuff. sometimes i get all whimisical, and pause for a second to reflect on how wonderful it is that people are truely making an attempt to get to know me, to understand the inner WAnk. i was driving home, and i was like, there is a certain purity to reading blogs. then i slapped myself because i was getting silly. i had it all reasoned out, but then i forgot all my reasons. i hate it when that happens, you come upon this revelation, and then you are too lazy to go through of the trouble of remembering it.
i think i break most of the rules on that one dudes page about things that are hereby banned from all blogs. screw that guy, anyways!!!
trav said something i agree with on his blog. i forget it, in a little bit if i remember, i'll interject.
the olympics are still kind of strange to me. i saw this commercial, that was like this whole thing, about training, and being the best, and winning, and being an american hero and such, and then it was like but the reality of it all, is this is just a very fit dude who needs a job. i think it was a monster.ca commercial or something. ok, this year the olympic coverage has sucked all around. even the canadian stations are blowing it. they don't actually show the damn events. like, the station was supposed to be showing luge, but instead they sat around in a studio talking about hockey and figureskating for like an hour and a half. they paused briefly to show the canadian guys luge, and they got like 48th and tied for 51st or something like that. but then the ignored the rest of the competitors and went back to talking about stupid stuff!!! DAMMIT, luge is cool!!! that is actually stuff i would want to watch, if you ever just played the damn thing. i expect that stuff from nbc, but now my trusty canadian olympic coverage has turned against me as well.
OHHH staind does kind of suck these days. i mean, i like some of the songs off their new album, but the other one kicked so much ass that i'm just like, what the hell!!! how do you go from mudshovel to other stuff that isn't mudshovel, when mudshovel was so great. now they just kind of suck. it sucks..... i mean, come on, mudshovel....
olympics good, canada bad sun good staind bad, wank out
