Snow Day!

We finally got hit by part of Snowmagedon 2010 and Bran’s school was cancelled.  Someone has to stay home with him, so I stepped up to take care of the situation.

The choice was stay inside and play video games or…

No matter what you do on a Snow Day, no school never fails to put a smile on a kid’s face.

A New Hope

without comments

Before you read this: Please don’t judge me… I’m just sharing my story because people asked…

Wow… okay, I wasn’t sure if I was ever going to tell anyone about this, but it’s late and I’m sleep deprived, so I guess I’ll just write it now and regret it in the morning.  :-/

First of all, just for some background:  My mom died right when I was born. (she was actually really, really hot- but this isn’t about her.  I guess that’s screwed up to say, but whatever.)  I actually grew up with my dad’s family, because my dad has all sorts of emotional issues and he bailed before I was born.  So you can see, my childhood was really kind of messed up.

Anyways, growing up I feel like there was always a lot of distance between me and my sister.  When I was about 17 or 18 I noticed that my sister was a hottie.

I don’t want to go into too many details about it, but basically what happened is that I accidentally found a video that she made of herself.  I knew that she didn’t make it for me, but I thought she was so incredibly beautiful that I watched it twice.  Hell, I probably would have watched it a lot more, but right around the time I found the video, all of this crazy crap went down and I had to leave home. (My dad’s family who I was staying with got in bad trouble with the law.  I never talk about it.)

Sooo… I was totally lusting after my sister at that point.  She was also having bad trouble with the law.  In fact, she was actually in jail when I left home.

My friend and I went to go pick her up.  When I saw her that day, after seeing the video, I have to be honest, I wanted her really bad.  Like… wanted her.  Looking back on it now, it’s pretty messed up, but I think she had feelings for me, too.  She actually kissed me right after we came to get her… and it wasn’t a sisterly kiss, you know?  I mean, it wasn’t ridiculously sexual or anything, but it definitely wasn’t sisterly.

After we left, we all went to crash with my sister’s friends.  On the trip there, my friend sort of implied that he wanted to get with my sister and I got a little jealous.  He’s a good looking guy and even though she was my sister, I just felt like he was competition.  Not much else happened between us for a while except some maybe-sexual hugging.

My friend and my sister never hooked up, I don’t think… but I thought there was some serious sexual tension going on between them.  It was around that time that I got really badly hurt in an accident.  It was really F-ed up.  I almost died.  But when I was in recovery, my sister came to see me and out of no where she just gave me this awesome, slow, passionate kiss on the lips.

Sadly (although, I guess for the best) nothing ever came of it.  We spent some time apart… and I started to get really religious, so I tried not to think of her in that way.  It was actually going well for a long time- like I was totally over her.  But I have to say, like a year or so after all that stuff went down, we were out sailing (not like a date or anything romantic like that) and she was wearing like the hottest bikini I’ve ever seen in my life, like anywhere, on anybody.  It just immediately brought back all of the old feelings.  *sigh*

A little while later she actually wound up with my friend from before. (the sexual tension guy)  I can’t say I was surprised.

But even after she was shacking up with my friend, there was this one time we were at a party… my friend was inside and my sister and I were out on the deck alone.  It was really an intimate moment.  I think something might have happened, except that I killed the mood when I told her that our father was Darth Vader and I had to go face him.

An urge struck me to upload a picture of where I work.  As I looked around my cubicle trying to decide what to phtograph, the target of my impulse became immediately clear

Maybe I’ll make this a weekly theme… “Scenes From an Apathetic Cube”

Communication is

without comments

At work, we use intra-office IM a lot.  It’s available both in the office and over the Internet and has it’s own dedicated server running the program.  You see, communication is important in any corporate setting.  Without the proper and immediate exchange of key points, your business is dead in the water.

This would have been a good day to “work from home.”

On top of it all, some freak, 30 minute snow storm turned my 15 – 20 min commute into an hour this morning.

Getting Your Money’s Worth

without comments

One of my father’s traits that I inherited is a deep loathing of paying more for something than it is worth.  I can spend a lot or a little on just about anything as it is not the amount that necessarily bothers me.  I paid around $1,500 for my current computer and am absolutely in love with it as it is easily worth $3,000.   However, when Burger king offers a hamburger for $0.99 and a cheeseburger for $1.49, I am offended at the prospect of paying 50 cents for a &$%@ing slice of cheese!!

Some of you may remember a couple of posts I’ve made in the past regarding our health care system in the USA.  Everyone in the world agrees that we suck when it comes to health care.  Well here we are with a bill in the Senate and our political wonder boys haranguing each other over exactly what the bill will say.  This is good news, although bittersweet.  Over the last year, Republicans and Democrats have traded barbs over this subject, using it as a club with which to beat each other bloody.  Yay for politics in America.  High five.

One of the sticking points has been this notion of government involvement within a capitalist society.  The Democrats say that health care is so screwed up in this country, the government has to get involved and be a sounding board of sorts for the health insurance companies.  You see, while the rest of the company has lost their asses this last two years, with mortgages as much as twice as much of the value of their house; no work to be found anywhere; and foreclosure now a household word… the health insurance companies have made record profits.  Kind of like oil companies.  In the last decade, where your income has raised a paltry amount amidst intermittent years of salary freezes and union concessions, the amount you pay for health care has doubled!

Is our health care now twice as good as was a decade ago?  Or did the health insurance companies finally figure out that although cheese only costs 3 cents, a cheeseburger will sell for 50 cents more than a hamburger?  Actually, it’s even worse… it’s extortion in the worst sense of the word.  Al Capone never had as a good of a racket.  You say you don’t like the price of your health insurance?  You aren’t getting your money’s worth?  Heck, it’s a free country and you don’t have to buy insurance or you can just shop around for something better, right?  Right?

Health Care Costs Compared

Health Care Costs Compared

This is the sort of thing that simply enrages me.  Countries with the best health care in the entire world are paying HALF of what we do in the USA.  Countries that our ignorant asses scoff at and proclaim as inferior.
