Let me let you in on a little secret. IT AIN&#8217;T HAPPENING. For example, my sister (yeah, the one who does all the knitting and sewing and seems like such a nice person unless you&#8217;re her brother) tells me every single day that since I&#8217;m starting a new job, I better get a prescription for Prozac and heavily medicate myself. She ain&#8217;t all fluffy bunnies and knit cats. I bet she knocked over a few little old ladies and pushed some kids out of the way to get that ice cream. OK, so she probably didn&#8217;t hurt anyone to get the ice cream, but you should see what I&#8217;m getting at. Nobody expects me to be nice without medication and my sister is no help.<\/p>\n<p>So, why haven&#8217;t I posted? I really have little to talk about. I need to keep digging a hole around the house foundation. I keep driving to Scappoose to help a guy build this aluminum antenna monstrosity. I keep trying to chat with women on the internet and when they reply I bore them to tears and they quit talking to me. THE SAME THING AS EVERY OTHER DAY.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose I could mention I saw one of the women from the gym on a date today with a guy who looked like he wanted to thumb wrestle me for the title of King Geek. Well, he wasn&#8217;t building ham radio antennas all afternoon and he was on a date, so I guess I WIN.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I think someone suggested that I become more optimistic and loving.
