  1. a lot gets decided next week--everyone is sitting down with the guy who decides raises. pretty much determines whether I wasted the last few months with this place. I'll be able to dial back the miserness if it goes decently for me.

     

    I miss boulevard beer. having to drive 30 minutes for it is such a drag. they have boulevard in LA but not here...

     

    I'm still pretty insecure in this job not having a clue what winter will be like and they have this archaic system, (actually plenty of them) that if you fall below par for 3 consecutive months you are fired. I mean, that's basically falling below our offices average close rate. And so many of these appt's are just ****ed up wanting repairs, no shows, etc...

     

    With that said I've averaged about $8k the first two months and been in the top 5 both months so I'm feeling pretty confident. I have pretty much let the wife and me blow it all so far. We got new furniture, I bought a car, dropped a shitload on vacation shopping for fun stuff like art and pottery, and bought some frivolous landscaping wants like trees and plants and dragons.

     

    I am just pointing out how far away we are from points on the spectrum. Had I always acted with your thrift I could be retired right now. Then again, there's a certain urgency to my method. I always think it's just money and I can go make some more, there is plenty of it out there. And I never have a cap on my income, if I want more I can always earn it which is a benefit of sales. Yeah, I should have more saved for the retirement years but I'm probably in better shape than most.

     

     

    You only live once, have a little fun. Go with NAPA and rock out in the ATL.

  2. Rando would much rather go antiquing these days.

     

     

    That's not age, that's called being in the relationship too long.

     

     

    I'd bet dollars that a new, younger girl would most definitely light Rando's pilot light

     

     

    There is no substitute for a new hand down your pants for the first time

     

    Thinking more on this, yeah, it would be hard to turn Jennifer Anniston down if she was trying to molest me, but lucky (or not), I don't really have that problem, nor look for it.

     

    I grew up in a bar. I was "clubbing" at 16. At 18 I regularly banged older chicks (along with young). I was pretty much a whore. After a brief flint with marriage at 20 I was single for another decade. During that time I still hung in bars on the weekends always looking for booty. I would hit different bars and areas. I always went alone regardless; you can't pick a girl up with another guy along and him not get in the way. I worked my craft, my lines, my eye contact, my lingo...

     

    I was home after clubbing once, got a little too drunk and was in bed having sex when another chick came walking in I forgot I invited over. After awkward moment, I was doing it doggie, she left. Then a few minutes later another girl came that I forgot about. Wash.rinse.repeat.

     

    After my divorce it wasn't uncommon for me to be seen bringing home different girls on the same day.

     

    In my thirties, after a 2nd brief failed marriage, I still had regular ass and girlfriends and hit bars a lot. I found a lot of kinkie chicks that were into about anything. One used to pick up chicks and bring them home to share. Hell, my ex did that as well.

     

    I don't want this too seem like some obsession. I worked a ton and had a kid from each marriage to raise. Time was valuable and I don't golf. Some of it was for fun though I mostly fooled myself that I was looking for a real connection- I wasn't. Girls invariably wanted to be first over my kids and that wasn't happening, Most relationships were a couple months. 6 was really long. 99% ended amiably.

     

    With the kids grown and stable this is the first and best relationship I've ever been in and would never **** it up. We have many common interests and values and a nice life. You never stop checking out hot women, it's biological, but actually seeking sex out from outside my marriage would just never happen. It's like doing LSD, it was fun and exciting and cool and all, but I've been there and done that. To ouch drama and problems that go along with it.

     

    I'm not dissing anyone, especially single guys that do chase ass. Hell, I just don't think they work hard enough at it. I think they lack commitment to the effort. Maybe it's the salesman in me. I'm a closer. To this day I think I could have a sex with a new chick by this evening if I wanted too. I just don't. It's last on my list of priorities. And I can sex well, any week I want it.

  3. Working in car dealerships for 28 years there were always the guys that loved to talk endlessly about sex and the opposite full of guilt induced privacy. One guy I have known for years was pretty much addicted to the subject and I often told him he needed to broaden his horizons. As a guy that probably got more ass than the lot if you combined I'm always torn discussing this subject. Probably my own Catholic guilt and using my real name pretty much prevented it. I am not objecting to the talk, nor do I find it terribly interesting or funny (except the flip hole stuff).

     

    For the record I am on the bigger side and a girl one gasped and called it "perfect".

     

    I guess it's true that the older you get you never stop thinking about it, but sex would lower on my list of priorities these days. Too many hot chicks just came with too much baggage and drama and problems.

     

    So I'm kind of mix on the subject between Mex and Speedz Jewish grandma encouraging you to find a "nice girl". Probably one that gives a hell of a blowjob though.

  4. Regarding the dryer sheets

     

    They are a necessity. I buy the perfume free/dye free version, because why would I want to smell like a chem flower? I don't insist on them for any wrinkling issues, I like them for the softness--especially for my bath towels. Soft.

     

     

    Napa, going to that concert is the most awesome thing I've heard in a while. I'll be seeing EMA in a couple of weeks, and I'm thinking about picking up a ticket for ****Buttons.

     

    Yeah, lol at the guys discussing something they obviously know nothing about. My wife won't let me near the laundry. They should stick to their own expertise, flip-holes!

  5. By myself. Don't know anybody in ATL. Just doing Winner stuff.

     

    Ha, funny. She asked why I didn't invite her. I said because tickets are $300. (and also because I want to try and have sex with a black girl and also because you're the worst)

     

     

    They announced Kid Cudi and Donald Glover will be performing as well. Kid Cudi is probably top 5 favorite artists for me and I like most of Donald Glovers stuff. Man, I'm excited.

     

     

    Oh no, they added a second show the night before. Really testing how much of a Winner I am.

     

    You're going to Atlanta to see a concert by yourself? And I get that I have never heard of them, but what the hell? Please tell me there are plans for snorting coke off a hooker's ass while you're there.

  6. Oh shit...you think old people are only pretending to not understand computers, because they are so starved for attention from young people?

     

    Well, umm yes. Did you ever talk to old people? I mean and the fact we really can't work computers, that too.

  7. Man.... that was a quick katchup

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Skimmed the last two and couldnt bring myself to go back any further....

     

     

     

     

     

    All me needed right there

     

     

     

     

     

    Earlier in the week I was a-mindin my own bidness playing around in the machine shop when I made a minor earth shattering discovery. No, a six jaw metal lathe chuck feels nothing like a vagina..... even with generous amounts of tapping fluid. Please leave the basement once in a while fellers. Anyway...... (shakes head to remove the previous unpleasant thought)...... the project at hand was joining two pieces of metal

     

     

     

     

     

    Lotsa options there..... bolts.... weld. Pats of cold butte..... damn. Its a goddamn virus this place is. None suitable for an electrolysis rick playground like the saline rich environment like the ocean floor though, huh?

     

     

     

     

    BUT.... ten degrees warmer, ya know.... it also has to be quick detach. Remotely. Insert vision of the "thinker" statue with a beer in his hand here....

     

     

     

     

     

    I did it. Two pieces of metal joined together as strong as a single piece that can be released with a simple flipo-tha-switch. And giggleface no its not magnetic. Heat baby. You friction makers out there know all about that

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Its patent time once again. Lets all hope it follows one of the first Beanstein inventions and changes the world in a positive way like those canoflagues did so very long ago...

     

    Handcuffs?

     

    The 4 year old grandson came up on Father's Day and has a typical non-stop motor set in play at a high gear. I had gotten him about 10 of those little balsa wood planes that kept him and most of the guys busy throughout the day. Worked better than a video game. Put a hula hoop in the backyard and had them aim from the top deck.

     

    I'll save the Estes rockets for another day.

     

    Can't believe you inconsiderate bastards didn't ask why the doctor told me to stop masturbating....

     

     

     

    ....said it was distracting him.

     

     

    Badaboom!

  8. Hey frau, you don't happen to own stock in Kleenex and hand lotion do you?

     

    I'll check back tomorrow. Clearly the the other guys will be "busy" the rest of the day after watching that clip.

     

    What clip?

     

    Good day yesterday. Kids and grand kids came up for the day. Went for 15 mile bike ride with my son and my ass is sore as hell this morning.

     

    Debating driving 1 1/2 hours to go in for optional training this morning. Not even in the mood. Ugh

     

    Edit- yeah **** that.

  9. Well I can't get caught up on the iPhone as it won't skip to the current post so I'll just post, I've been in WV all week taking in the velvet art and ridiculous roads, it did dawn on me that SA could really get the self esteem boost he needs by moving here. He'd be a stud, smartest in the city, underweight, and a hot foreigner. The girls at Biscuit World would be all over him. And he could visit Shake on the weekends. Aside from the ridiculous roads it's a virtual paradise.

    Oh yeah. Don't get me wrong. While I agree with some of Calvin's basic theology, he was still definitely a sinner who lived in the dark ages and all that came with it.

     

    Every now and then I still get unreasonably pissed about his role in Michael Servetus' death. I mean, sure he was incorrect about some stuff, but just love him anyway. Don't have him burned alive. That's a dick move right there.

     

    I think it's a little more than dickish to torture and maim and kill people you disagree with. Actually that's one of the basics of moral behavior. In fairness, the guy was probably a paranoid Schitz with power and back then people assumed it was something else.

     

    It's like making a cult leader the ruler of your town with unabated power. Never a good idea.

     

     

    You're definitely the person who speaks with the Voice of God.

     

     

    I've never with a married guy, except for the guy I married. I've never been close to doing that, or having an emotional affair, or hot for some married guy I think about while kissing my pillow. When I was married, I did not have eyes for any other.

     

    The Chicago guy is twice divorced (mine is more recent), and while we were in touch off and on as old friends over the years, I didn't start any flirting until after the divorce was well under way. I did not go on any dates until after the divorce was finalized--that was thirteen months from the day we split. He's not even a little bit gay or bi. That kid is straight.

     

    Why don't I date more? I think I'm in the terrible place where it might be easier to be alone, my fear and anxiety is starting to calcify. If you think of me like a baseball game, I think I am great in middle relief. Once I get to know someone I'm fine--it's the beginning innings where I flub the easy pitches.

     

    The most endearing thing about women to me is self-sufficiency and the ability to be happy with themselves. Throw in the added keen sense of humor and you have the whole package. If I was 30 years younger, taller and hotter and wealthy and smarter I'd totally hit you you.

  11. time is a flat circle...

     

    Time is the infinite jest

     

     

    This guy gets it. Being a Unitarian is a liberal, progressive religion, and does not have a standard belief in God or Jesus or Brv. Part of me pointing out that I am both religious and a Unitarian is me baiting Brvheart. I may go to church, but I'm pretty sure I'm going to the wrong one.

     

     

    Ron Mexico, can you elaborate on anger-bating? Is it self-pleasure while angry? I made up a word along the same lines--masterhating. It has two meanings.

    1. You run into your ex, and she looks amazing. You go home and masterhate while thinking of her.
    2. It's a line of sex toys targeted towards the Aryan Nation audience.

     

     

    Both groups think that there is a God that has feelings, just different ones. William Manchester wrote a great section on Calvin in A World lit only by Fire. Now I always view the guy as a violent Prohibitionist that probably masterhated a hella lot.

     

     

     

     

    I actually thought that the other day. Strat wants sales guy money on operations guy skills. I literally said to myself, he should be an actuary. I then anger-bated because I was thinking of Strat on my off time.

     

    I really don't think Strat could handle all the rejection sales brings if he got so tiffy over such a minor event. I stressed for 3 weeks over a $3000 commission canceling and was happy when it finally did so it was over. I was just happy to have it resolved so I could move on and not stress about it. There's more fish in the sea. I leave that kind of shit back at the creek. There's always tomorrow. Christ, I've become my mother mumbling sayings.

     

    Frau gets it. I mean the sales attitude. It's the 350. I'm going to use that.

  12. Whoa. That's a good idea. Link?

     

    The last time I went to church was yesterday. Of course it doesn't really count, because it was a Mormon church. Weird is the best way to describe it.

     

    It was almost like a cub scout meeting. They dont have a nursery, so there were kids screaming the entire service. At points, I was struggling to hear the mic'd speakers voice.

     

    They also voted on a ton of stuff. "So and so is now going to work with the elementary kids. Everyone who agrees with this appointment, signify so by raising your right hand. Those opposed, same sign."

     

    I think they had about 20 such votes during the church service.

     

    There is a ton of funny things about the Mormon church from secret ceremonies to extreme guilt but they have mastered the art of using their tax free status to accumulate wealth from shopping malls to real estate. I've always kinda regretted not being religious in that regard. Hell, I had to run a siding appointment yesterday and I don't know shit about it and sold a $10k siding job. Sat in my car and had someone help figure out how much I'd need etc. I'm sure I could have really cashed in if I was heartless enough to threaten eternal damnation and eternal orgasmic existence after death. I could shun some mother****ing non--believers as well.

  13. Last time I went was with my ex, who's family was involved in the church and my ex still had those last tentacles of church hanging on. She felt obligated to go on Easter, to the Christmas Eve program, stuff like that. My fav was when she got banged up the night before and was leaving the service to puke in the bathroom. Sooo funny. I finally just made the decision not to go anymore. Then she left and that problem was solved. I think she got all devout again. Which made me laugh because after me, and our threesomes and foursomes and her lesbian sex and dabble into cheating, then divorce, then having an out of wedlock kid, then marrying a dude 17 years older than her and then having another kid, I guess she felt god was the answer. Laughable.

     

    You know how they say love the sinner, not the sin. Well I love both

     

    Profound high five

  14. Already seen OitNB. Watched a few episodes of HoC with my roommate and then he went and watched the rest without me, so I never got back into it. Settled on blue is the warmest color before realizing it was in French but I was already in bed and can't be bothered to get up and change.

     

    Have decided I am figuring out how to get a job in Paris and moving there and finding a blonde French chick to be my wife. That accent. Got damn.

     

    Well I turned on the TV last night and apparently what you really need is a castle and a few props to get women to lose their sanity.

  15. Damn I'm tired. Busted but in the garden today. I'm finally about done and ready for the summer. A few touch ups and I'll be ready for the reveal party. I actually made ladder/window garden art today. I know you all are as anxious about it as you are all these wedding date fiascos but you'll just have to wait a little bit longer.

  16. So, last night.

     

    Went downtown with my roommate to meet up with a friend and drink some patio beers. My roommates not feeling the best so the plan is to just have a few beers and be able to drive home. Get there and I see one of my old frat bros (Sam) drinking alone so I go and hang out with him instead of my other friends.

     

    We're sitting there and this dude next to me starts talking to us, which is fine. Turns out we all went to Iowa state and were all in frats and me and him grew up in the same area-ish. So I go back to talking to my buddy but this guy just leave us alone and keeps like interjecting into our conversation. Very annoying.

     

    Well, this shitty live band starts playing outside so me and my buddy (Sam) move inside and join my roommate and other friend (John). Have a few drinks and then Sam has to go. And then my roommate decides to head home but it's still pretty early, 9 ish, I think, and I'm not done drinking so I stay and just plan on cabbing it back to Johns place with him.

     

    About this time this new guy sitting next to me at the bar whom I've never met, Matt, asks me if I think this guy on the other end of the bar looks like Ron Livingston (he does) but I just vehemently disagree with him for fun. He's starting to get a little angry so I just tell him I'm fvcking with him, we have a good laugh, do some shots , etc. about this time my friend John decides he wants to go and I had just gotten a new drink so I say , hey sure just give me a few minutes to finish this drink. And he's like ok, and next thing I know he's gone. So now it's just me and my new friend Matt. Matts like, "Andrew...you see those two girls over there? Let's buy them drinks and go talk to them." One of then is very cute and one of them is kinda fat. Matt asks if I'm cool with the fat one and I'm like yup. So he buys them drinks and then the cute one comes over to talk to us and I realize she's the roommate of the bartender that works there. And she informs me that the fat ones husband just walked in, so I'm sol. Matt chats her up for a bit and then she shuts him down and leaves us.

     

    So then Matt has this great idea to go to the country bar to find some fat chicks and who am I to disagree? While walking there we see two kinda chubby girls walking ahead of us and he's like "fvcking go talk to them. ask them to come to the bar with us and we'll buy them a round. Just do it". So I do, and they decline.

     

    Get to the bar. Approach two different tables of cute girls and get immediately shot down. I head to the bathroom real quick and I come back and Matt is straight up making out with a chubby chick in the middle of the bar. I try talking to her friends who also shut me down. And then I just leave and get a cab home because it was late and I was alone and whatever.

     

    I'm sure it sounds lame but it was a lot of fun just doing whatever.

     

    Dude, you should be pumped up. After all that rejection the odds of that happening another night just got slimmer.. Um poor choice of words but whatever. Keep asking and as you math geeks know, the law of averages play to your favor.

     

    On 2nd thought, you need to attend the Randy school of pick up lines and one night stands (with sex). Your approach needs work.

  17.  

     

    Oh, I completely agree. The point I was making was even with this being true, if it was a Republican, it would have been mentioned, bolded, and in a larger font. Because it wasn't mentioned, he's able to just say, "Well, the party's have changed over time". Once the article is written, it's ideas are part of society.

     

    Hey, I get that Repbulicans are taking a lot of crap for promoting racism, sexism and homophobia on a daily basis and that they are constantly whining about people pointing it out. But you seem to be 2nd leveling that thought for some reason.

  18.  

     

    Does this apply across the board, or just to blacks?

     

    Sigh. Let's just stick with this problem before you change topics. Given that blacks were pidgeon-holed in communities and denied opportunities for centuries that have led to lasting problems, perhaps we should feel some obligation to make reparations, pay back what was stolen and denied them by spending some extra to improve the situation, e.g, improved schools that have been systematically poor. A higher EI tax credit.
