Videos and Photos

Some photos (OK, 2) from last night at The Chamber.
Morgan posing like a homo.
Scott and his HUGE camera.
Scott is Thorn on MySpace.

Now, some videos. RIGHT CLICK, SAVE AS.
Kanan and a knife.
Peeing radiator.
Our new apartment.
The Kanan knife video is at Kanan and Barb's house, while Barb was upstairs getting ready to leave. I meandered upstairs, and you can hear Barb and I chattering in the background. The radiator video was yesterday as well. The Camaro's radiator has a crack on the side, so my brother Jeff gave us a radiator he thought was good. Obviously it wasn't. You can hear my Mom cackling in that video. Lastly, the video I took today of our new apartment after I signed the lease and PICKED UP THE KEYS. Wooooo!

Headache, plus I need to do laundry. Maybe I should pack too, or something.

That is all.

Always Something

OK, so the guy called today about the apartment in North Canton, and we got the place. The catch is, we need $575 Sunday at noon for the deposit and first month's rent. Total, after deducting the cell phone and living expenses (food, gas) for next week, Morgan and I have $200. I asked my Mom to borrow the rest and, of course, I can't borrow the money. Everyone knows where this is leading; a Kieth rant. He can not pay his bills, blow his money on who knows what, get his cars repoed and she'll bail him out hundreds, a couple times even thousands, at a time. He can have her go to a check cashing place, then not pay the loan and have it taken out of her checking account, then she "loans" him money again. He's paid her maybe $100 of the money he owes her, and I've paid a lot more than that back, yet I can't borrow $375 to get this apartment. Fabulous, yes?

Benefit for Metal Steve at the Chamber (Cleveland) tomorrow (Saturday) night. $3/person at the door for everyone over 21; $5 under 21. Me, Morgan, Kanan and Barb will be there after 11PM.

That is all.

News

The guy called today about the apartment in North Canton. He was trying to "process" my application, but I forgot to include my extension number at work. I called him back with HR's extension, so I should find out tomorrow about the apartment. If that one falls through, which I'm sure it will, I've found another apartment to look at. Grrrrrr, I hate moving.

I sense sleepy-time in my very, very near future.

Heather and I were nearly killed in the Arby's drive-thru this afternoon. Some old bitch in a Lincoln came this close - to backing into Heather's car. Nice, yes?

Jeans day at work tomorrow, wooooooo!

That is all.

It's Time

We find out today or tomorrow about the apartment in North Canton. It would certainly be nice to get that apartment since it's pretty close to work, really nice and in a great area. If we don't get that unit, at least they'll return the $100 deposit (at least they're supposed to return the deposit.)

Why am I blogging before 7AM?

Lets take a week and a half to refund my $3.20, shall we? Oh, but wait, you probably need a license to refund my money, just like you need a license to sell Primal Elements body whips and sugar scrubs, right? I can't wait to get my refund from that person, so I can then call her bluff and tell her she's full of shit. Like I wouldn't call the company directly to confirm her story.

Christ, not even 7AM and I'm all ready in a mood.

That is all.

It's a 2 bedroom/1 bath apartment with dishwasher and central air. The carpet/floors/bathroom looks new, and the fridge is new. It's in North Canton, about 15 miles from work. We find out on Friday if we get the apartment for sure.

That is all.

What We Do

Some video clips of what Morgan and I do during the weekends. These videos were shot Friday night while we were out cruising with Z28 Jeff, on 480, 71 and Pearl RD (42) in the Cleveland area (Brooklyn, Middleburg Heights, Parma.)

A butterfly flew into my stereo antenna on the Firebird. This was the result. Cool photo, but I feel bad for the butterfly.

OK, bedtime for the Pooper.

That is all.

Look Who's Alive

Getting up at 6:30AM is killing me. It was easier last week, and I'm sure it'll be easier this week than it was the first week. Still, I don't enjoy getting up that early, and going to bed before midnight. The job itself is fine, but the hours are still icky.

On Saturday Morgan quit his job at Ganley. Fuck those dicks. He's getting a job with me at Summit, so it's not a big deal. Besides, my income will cover all the bills. Woo!

We've decided against the apartemnts in Tallmadge and Cuyahoga Falls. Morgan was freaked out by the $575/mo rent for the Tallmadge unit (it was really nice, though,) and the Falls apartment is cute (I saw it Thursday,) but for $440 a month I'd like a larger unit and central air (window unit A/C in the wall.) So, I found a 2 bedroom apartment in North Canton for $450 a month. It has central air, and it's on the first floor of the building. Morgan and I are going to look at the apartment after work tomorrow, and the landlord will let us pay the security deposit over two months, instead of coming up with $900 all at once. If things go well tomorrow when we look at the unit, we could be moving as early as this coming weekend! Woo!

I beat Morgan's ass today while go-karting. I rule.

That is all.

Is It Friday Yet?

Can we fast-forward to Friday and skip all of next week? Please? My new job is cool, but getting up at 6:45AM is most certainly NOT cool. I overslept yesterday and didn't get to work until 12:20. Nice, yes? I didn't get in trouble or anything, though, so that's good.

More photos of the house I want:
House 3
House 4
House 4 Creepy
I need to write a letter to the owner and see if he'd consider renting the house to us. That would rock.

Morgan and I went to Denny's last night for dinner. In the restaurant were three jackass kids making all kinds of noise and playing with their obviously new camera phones. After those fucks left, some drunk guy came in and was being all loud and obnoxious. When we finally finished dinner, I was standing outside on the sidewalk waiting for Morgan to finish paying the bill. I'm standing there, and some assfucks in a broken-down Tempo drove up on the sidewalk and almost ran over me. Nice night, yes?

Morgan and I should be moving out in the next two weeks. The plan is to find an apartment this coming weekend, pay the security deposit then move in the following weekend. Woo!

I found some really cool saltwater fish this evening, but I've heard saltwater fish are hard to care for. Does anyone out there have experience with saltwater tanks? If so, let me know what it's like.

That is all.

Plop

Too tired/busy to update right now. Getting up before 7AM is killing me.

That house I've been babbling about is empty. ; )

That is all.

Shut It

Does anyone ever shut up? Didn't think so.

I have two more photos of that house I mentioned yesterday. A little better than yesterday's photo, but not much.
House
House Again
Don't forget, I was driving home while taking these photos.

I got three house of sleep again last night. Yay, me.

That is all.

*Edited immediately after post*
I just reviewed the photos and the one I posted yesterday looks identical to the first photo from today's post. I swear, those are two different photos!

Summit Customer Service, This Is Pooper

No, I'm not using Pooper as my name but it'd be hella funny if I did.

First day is finished. I'm beat and need sleep, but wanted to do a mini-update for the 3 people who read this blog. The first day went really well. It was a lot of stuff to learn, but fun too. We have class from 9AM-1PM, lunch from 1PM-2PM then "desk time" from 2PM-5PM. I'll get a photo of the catalog I have to build during "desk time"; everyone will shit their pants.

Must decorate my cube.

I want this house but it isn't for sale. It looks empty, though. I'm sure it used to be an old church, but it's hella cool (and creepy) looking from the outside. I'll try to get a better photo tomorrow on my way to work.

I was too tired to go past the apartment in Cuyahoga Falls. I almost fell asleep on the way home. Tomorrow, if I'm more energetic, I'll cruise by and see where it is and what it looks like.

Gah, must sleep.

That is all.

Happy Thoughts

Gah, it's not even 7AM and I'm out of bed, after going to sleep around 3AM. How I'm going to make it past noon is beyond me.

That is all.

Oh Yes

I am the chicken master. I just made skinless chicken breasts for dinner, and holy ass are they good. Morgan's the steak/pork chop master, but I am the chicken master.

I need to find clothes for work tomorrow. I can't believe I have to wear pantyhose/knee highs all the time. How silly is that? Even if I have on long pants and boots, I still have to wear pantyhose or knee highs. Hello, where's the logic behind that? But, for $10.25/hr, I'll suffer. LOL

I'll drive out to the apartment building tomorrow after work just so I'm 100% sure where the apartment is located. I'll get a photo if it's not too obvious.

I need to paint the Birdy's fenders.

That is all.

Phrase For The Day

Accidental discharge.

That is all.

You Weren't Beat Enough

Today was a totally uneventful day. I slept until 4PM, but not without waking up 4 times to pee between 6AM-4PM. I start my job Monday, so I'm going to get as much sleep this weekend as possible.

I did manage to wash my car, and to list a couple things on eBay. I have to get the basement cleaned out before I move!

Yesterday I went to Strongsville to meet Morgan at the Southland car show on W130th. Well, I forgot the show wasn't directly off Pearl RD, so I drove all the way to BrookPark RD before I realized I went too far. I finally got there around 7:30PM, and I left my house at 10 til 5. It shouldn't have taken me longer than an hour and 20 minutes. I rule.

After the car show, Morgan, me, Jeff and his 3 boys went to Swenson's Drive-In for dinner. Oh yummy, dammit. I had a Galleyboy, an order of onion rings and a cherry (cherry syrup) Pepsi. Morgan had 2 Galleyboys, an order of battered mushrooms and Dew. All that food, with a tip, was $14. And dammit, was it good. We then bummed around at his house, watched TV and played with The Smush.

Pooooooooooooop.

Yes, I passed my drug test on Wednesday. The testing facility immediately tests the sample, instead of sending it to an outside lab. The drug test was for 10 different things, and looked like a pregnancy test. It was pretty nifty to watch, and nice to get the results immediately. I knew it was going to be OK, but I always worry about stuff like that; just like my criminal background check. I knew I'm not a criminal, but I was worried anyway. Monday is my first day at work. Woo!

I've decided that after we've moved, and have all of our furniture and stuff, I'm buying an MP3 player. Not neccessarily an IPod, but some type of MP3 player, dammit.

Oh, Morgan bought me center caps for my wheels.
Isn't it pretty?
He also bought me the hatch condom for the Birdy, but it's a little harder to install than center caps.

The interior of the Birdy after I cleaned him today. What's up with him looking orange?

Birdy with his new ground effects, front end and center caps. Isn't he cute?

That is all.

Here's Your Cup...

Guess who gets to pee in a cup for the second time in two months? Yeah, it's a good thing I don't have a problem whizzing into tiny cups. The Summit Racing HR lady called yesterday to extend an "official offer of employment." Woo! I have to take a drug test today, then I start Monday at 8:30AM. It won't be too bad, though. I'll have to get up at 7AM, which means I'll have to be in bed no later than 10:30PM. Once I move, I'll be able to get up at 7:30AM. Morgan and I are going to drive past the apartment building today, just so I'm sure of which unit it is we'll be moving into.

Please, never use the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser on your arms. Yeah, I colored my hair a couple nights ago and got color all over myself. I used the Magic Eraser on my arms, and while it took off all the hair color, it also removed my skin. How lovely.

Two more photos of my brother's dog Chubby. What the hell is he?

What Is Chubby?

OK, here's two photos of my brother's dog, Chubby. He's huge and furry; we have no idea what he is. Help us out!!

Chubby 2
Camera phone images, so sorry about the so/so quality.

I have a drill, be afraid.

Shut The Fuck Up

Apparently this exhibit is a must-see this summer. Glad it runs through the whole summer; that way I'll definitely be able to check it out.

Got into a verbal "disagreement" tonight with some cunt at Gabe's. She kept shoving her fucking cart into the back of my legs while standing in line at the registers. I calmly turned around and asked her very politely to stop shoving her cart into my legs. I even said please and thank you. She then decided to start mouthing off about how she wasn't going to say anything, and she was keeping her mouth shut. Then she said something about my fat ass, so I turned around and told her at least my fat ass has manners. She then proceeded to tell me I better shut the fuck up. I retorted with "or what, you'll get black on me? There's a surprise." That shut her the fuck up. As an amusing aside, this is the same crackhead who was wandering around the store not 15 minutes earlier carrying on a full blown conversation. With herself.

And, for the record, my ass isn't fat.

So Morgan, Barb, Kanan and myself are going camping the weekend of the 22nd. For all of you who are keeping track, that's the weekend I wanted to move, but that can be accomplished during the week. Camping will prove to be quite an adventure I'm sure. For damned sure I'll be packing 3 or 4 bottles of this stuff. I can't stand bugs. If the campground doesn't allow handguns (both Barb and Kanan have their concealed carry licenses,) we're for damned sure taking the katana and the wakazashi. I have dibs on the wakazashi cause it's smaller and I can handle it better than the katana.

Once again, for the record, there will be no fishing with the Uzi.

This kitty keeps hanging around my house. Morgan is going to abduct her if he can get her into the car when he goes home on Thursday. She's a really cool kitty, and is declawed and fixed. She's always roaming around outside, though, so either she was abandoned or the owners don't really give a fuck about her. That photo rocks beacause the birdhouse looks like a kitty hat.

I think I just paid my cell phone bill out of the wrong account (checking instead of savings.) That will be bad if I did.

I should go to bed.

That is all.
