rant and rave session October 29, 2008
this post will span me the next 4 hours that i am at work. i have been at work for almost 6 (?) hours and seething through my soul and skin is the absolute disgust i have for this post pardum puberty bull shit and anyone clutching onto their washington state drivers license.
the reason why this post will span the next 4 hours is because i break my hour lunch into random segments. during those segments i check the market (which last time i checked it was tanking again 300 points), gossip, real news and corral some junk food (which mind you has been straight murder death killing my stomach). maybe just maybe i will go to the bathroom or walk the property.
anyways, i am going to go back to working on my accounts payable since i won’t be in my office tomorrow. as i will be shlepping downtown again.
[this break has been brought to you by: your common sense, because if you don't use it, people like me will exploite your stupidity, which is known to run rampid in non-common sense using situations]
i hate when food makes me calm again. now i need to muster up my anger… agh.
okay, so to get from kent to tukwila in the morning there is various ways i could take. normally i would take this route:
kent-kangley to 116th to 256th to benson to james to west valley highway to 180th to andover park west.
during this seemingly ridicuouls drive off “the hill” i have to dodge the fleet of buses coming out of the bus barn at kent-meridian and various metro routes. not to mention the occasional jaywalker. anyways, my point about this whole trip is the james to west valley portion. south king county drivers, i fuck you not. i am NOT playing when it comes to this area. it is bad enough i need to ream a new one to sound mother fucking transit for putting down those train cross signs for 5-7 extra minutes when the sounder is loading passengers. why do i need to wait why they are boarding?!? unless another train is coming, please, i beg of you LET. ME. GET. TO. FUCKING. WORK. with all that unnecessary waiting i could have made it down to west valley highway and spead down that lovely new paved stretch of heaven.
speaking of that lovely new paved stretch of heaven…
headed north on west valley means that at the corner (after the dinosaur rocks place or whatever it is called) it goes from 30 to 50. if you are me, at the intersection of james and west valley that means it is 50. whatever floats your boat, but mother fuck.
one week later….
i originally wrote that on 10/22. i was pissed off, a lease document was taking it’s snails ass of a pace to chicago, i was in the midst of completing 2 budget binders…
…now it’s 10/29. all my worries have been resolved and now i am in the midst of completing 6 budget binders.
i am no longer mad, but about to get lunch with my bossy boss.
a calm shannon should spark fear in your hearts, because you know someshit is about to go down.
quizote of the dizzle October 15, 2008
while in the midst of making 2 budget binders due on friday (8 total overall)
(oh please believe i will have one to show you all wondering why i am a hermit).
i came across this article, which provided some classic quotes:
“He was explaining to his son what a squeeze bunt was. Commercial break, the ad comes on, and the kid asks, `Dad, what does porno mean?”‘ Rawitch said. [side note: yessss cause you know that later on in life that kid will remember this moment and add the definition for squeeze bunt to urban dictionary
Last quote:
"If they want to call the movie `Zack and Miri,' that's fine, but Zack and Miri cannot make a porno on my bus shelters," Cutler said. [side note: ummm... i used to not have a car, bus shelters were the kickin it spot... you know what is offense at a bus shelter?! having a guy jack off in front of you while wearing nothing but a trench coat. TRUE STORY! it happened to me at 2nd Ave Extention and S. Jackson... want to know what's more offensive? this site is... no porn though.]
aghhhh. back to cutting out tenant names and sticking them on floor plans.
ps. porn is great.
If your black and you know it clap your hands… October 13, 2008
This weekend I finally had enough time and no scheduling conflicts to visit my sister up in bellingham. I hadn’t been up there since the last part of June before I moved and before she and I went home for a well deserved summer break.
We were catching up on TV and I saw that the Real Housewives of Atlanta was coming on. My roommate told me how ridic(ulous) the women on there were. My sister only echoed the sentiment. So I took a look for myself.
For a former “let’s make unnecessary drama” participant, I was welcomed back home with 5 “housewives” that had too much money and very little of the housewives title. However did the bring, as Perez would say, the “dramz”. Here’s the formula for the pilot episode:
$$$$$$$$ + black – housewife * servants = those idiots racist people that are fucking up the election (oh don’t deny you haven’t heard about it…)
Oh. You don’t think this ties together, eh?
Wait wait. Here is another formula: $$$$$$$ + blacks^ignorance = race wars or we can do better.
That show is the blatant definition of why so many people ( I could have said white people but I didn’t because there are some black people that think this and by some I mean me) think when they watch Housewives think, “oh so that is what happens when blacks get money”. Although it isn’t any different than everyone else, why did it seem so bad when I watched it? Am I over looking something?
Perception sucks but got damnit. Act like you are doing something with yours. It isn’t a bad thing that you would want to donate it or give back to a struggling community. Hell. Because really this is what people think when all is blacks get money.
Please view visit jibjab so that you can see why this is a problem… *sigh*
Clickty clackety clack clack!
ignorance October 13, 2008
As much as I would like to think that part of a humans thinking comes and goes. It isn’t quite that simple. It isn’t something that happens by hitting your head on the ground or whatever. Ignorance is like a plague that has run ramped in so many of you idiots that we can’t keep track.
Now, I can compare ignorance and common sense as an aquired attribute. But I want to give the common sense folks some credit, since common sense is a good attribute. But let me get back to ignorance.
Ignorance is bliss.
You want to know why that is oh so very true? Because of how much of a dumb ass you are when you are being an ignorant idiot.
Example:
Redneck hillbillies at McCain rallies calling Obama a terrorist.
REALLY?!
Are you so sheltered to think that this family man is going to have the country bombed or something of that nature? It makes me so mad that to think that there are people that haven’t evolved. It is 2008 for god sake! You can’t be trapped in this all white snow globe world you want to live in. It doesn’t work that way. Change is something that happens everyday. You can’t deny or stop it. Hell change happens to your hillbilly ass everyday as well.
You want to know who else is ignorant? You “former democrats”. You all are just racist. Saying that you “just don’t know about Obama” or some other wild ass bullshit is beyond me. Tell me the fucking truth. I want reasoning to why you aren’t able to vote for Obama! I am all about honesty and I just can’t understand what is going on.
It isn’t just white white white anymore. There are many more of us out there. Accept it. Believe in the change. Want to change. Because if you don’t, being stuck in your old ways will hurt more than you think.

monday morning madness September 15, 2008

blame a former tenant of mine for this comment.
2008 Election September 10, 2008
i just finished reading this wonderful commentary on race, gender and age during this election.
it is about damn time that people started opening their eyes and owning up to what they really believe in. it’s not going to bother me if you out right tell me that you vote one way or another for one reason. my boss is the perfect example. she votes republican because her and her husband make a lot of money a year.
but, at the same time… the whole racial issue. i thought we as people were more accepting and have evolved from racism. back in 1988 i was getting called n*gger on the playground like they were saying my name. if we wiped the black off obama and turned palin into a dude and made mccain immune to cancer and guaranteed he won’t die, then what do we have?
history repeating itself
it is time for a change, wether it is a woman VP or a black president, this country needs to worry about can i afford this bill or that bill and if you have a job tomorrow.
race, gender and age is not the answer.
who’s going to do what for the economy, the war, the unemployment rates, education, same-sex marriage, etc. vote for who you believe in, not because you don’t think you can’t trust the black man.
or you can get over yourself you racist ass hole. cause i was being way too nice throughout this entry…
ps. i haven’t been writing too much because it’s budget season for my job, so i have to do 2 budgets on my own and help out with one other… periodically checking in…
to my sister September 5, 2008
i saw this and reminded me of lauren…
he’s so cute, but did he really eff that up like that?!
