losing smaller skirmishes

in the battle of life.

after an incrdibly hectic two months and some very busy weekends, i decided to be a zuchini this weekend and do nothing. i spent the better part of yesterday either here online, working on a model, playing the new CoD expansion and watching movies. i did clean the turtle tank and they now have smiles on their faces and i spent some good time cleaning dobra (that's more fun than work), but otherwise, no brain cells were expended. so last night, i flipped on the tv and switched over to SciFi. Most of the time, i know better than to do this on a saturday evening, cause i feel entirely to educated to succumb to the crap they play, but i love the channel and most of the time, SciFi is great to watch. Last night SciFi, like many other lost nights, robbed me of yet another two hours of my life. i flipped on their saturday night premier called Darklight or Darkfiend or DickSuck or FatChanceWhiteBoyofEverGettingThisTimeofYourLifeBack. I think it was that last one, but it was horrible or as the mesicans say, horrible. i have such high hopes that someday, SciFi will do us all right and play something good. and maybe they are just living the standard that science fiction movies need to be unbelievable and a huge stretch to the imagination, but man alive, i'm not that fucking stupid. thank god i don't smoke weed any more, cause it would have been on my top ten list of best movies ever, right up there with Earth Girls are Easy, Drop Dead Fred and the second Exorcist movie. I just don't get it. Low budget doesn't have to equal horrible acting and even worse plotlines. there were so many holes in the plotline, i was starting to feel religious. anyway, if you feel like torturing someone within inches of their life or want to know what it's like to get kicked quare in the balls with some steel toed boots, check out Darklight at it's next showing.

the second small battle was this morning. sundays are probably my favorite day of the week, cause it's quiet until at least 11 around here. the world is still sleeping or at church, SciFi is showing the Raiders trilogy back to back (see guys, you can make good choices when you try) and coffee always seems to taste better knowing i still have an entire day to watch the world go by and not be concerned about anything. so, i woke up early this morning and decided to hit the grocery store to pick up some things. if you shop, hit the stores on sunday mornings and it's wonderful. no lines, people are in a great mood and the chocolate doghnuts with the sprinkles are freshly made. i hit my local Tom Thumb to pick up a few items and cash in on a coupon for a free Starbucks coffee i'd received the last time i was in the store cause you get one when you spend over ten thousand dollars in one purchase. it's the least they can do for you. they've recently remodeled the one near my place and it's great. new store, overly nice employees and a starbucks. the problem is, the store uses their own employees to run the starbucks and the coffee would taste better if i were sucking it out of the ass of a dead horse. i've cashed in on two of these "keep spending money in our store" coupons and both times, i've seen my life flash before my eyes. i think i actually witnessed the end of the world as seen thru my eyes. these people don't care about coffee and it's obvious they don't know how to make it. this shit was horrible, and COLD. straight from the cappuchino machine. i don't know how that's possible, but i was gonna hug the guy's neck for accomplishing something i didn't think was possible. not being out any money for the abomination in a cup i was served, i stopped by a real starbucks and got what i needed. the woman served me a hot, full, tasty coffee and i told her i loved her.

two battles already fought today leaves one more, the boys fighting that punk Campo and his bitches, the Browns. i'm sure we'll wipe up with them, but who knows. if we can just kickstart our defense, we should have no problem.
