Sometimes Surviving Is All That You Can Do

Finally some good news

So today I got some really AWESOME news…last night I was at my inlaws place and I was telling then that we finally found a way to get my mother out here. Basically we were going to buy 2 tickets for her one tickets we would get in a few weeks (depending on when she was going to be coming out) and then get the return ticket a few weeks later.

Well here is the good news, Jaclyn got a call from her dad and he told her that he would fly her out on his airmiles and we would just have to pay the taxes. I am so excited that I can officially tell my mom that she IS coming out here she just has to pick the dates.

I will have to call her in the morning because of the time difference but I think that she will be happy.

another fail and a mystery solved

So last night I was farting around with the router and I managed to kill the network. This is not the fail I am referring to though. Where the fail occurred is when I managed to kill the camera in Olivers room. If I wasn’t so freaked out about it I could have had the problem resolved in about 2 minutes but it managed to take about an hour to get it fixed.

Basically I reset the router and all I would have had to do is rename the router and set the SSID and security password back to the name I was initially using with the camera and the camera would have been back online. Since I didn’t do this I had to take the camera out of Olivers room and re-initiate it with the network. Once again this does not sound like a bad thing but when the little guy is about to go to bed. Since he was a little pain in the butt I could get the issue resolved.

As for the mystery solved …I use Google+ instead of Facebook and over the last few weeks the feed have been really really quiet. For a little bit I was thinking that I was going to dump it and stick with Facebook (ECK!!!!). Well this morning I was on it on G+ and I decided that I would add someone to my following circle. When I added the person I saw the ALL my people I was following were gone. For the life of me I cannot not figure out why this happened but I am going to assume this could have happened when some changes were made to G+. Oh well the issue is fixed and now I can finally get caught up.

for all the gangsta out there

Epic Fails…and a rack of Ribs

bluntslyd — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 02:39:19 +0000

So tonight we went out to look at the first (of probably many) places to rent and of course the pictures were a little miss leading. when you look at this place it looks like a multi-level house with a garage.

Well this picture totally bamboozled us. I am not saying that this place is a shit hole or anything I am only saying that this place is 1 level up a flight of stairs. Basically it is a place for someone that is single or a couple, not someone with a small child. So I think that we are going to pass on this place. Also I noticed that the area that this place is in (Panarama) has a lot of houses crammed into a small area and it is a little claustrophobic.

Ok so the title is totally misleading it wasn’t an EPIC fail it was just not what we were looking for. As for the ribs aspect of the title I am having 2 racks of ribs I got from CO-OP on the weekend.

Yay

So like normal I am hunting around this thing called the internet and I happen to find a trailer to a Ridley Scott movie called Prometheus. Of course this sparked my interest because I heard about this movie a long time ago (well at least the rumours of this movie). Once I saw the trailer for it I was totally pumped for it because this is the “Origin” story for the whole Aliens saga.

I am hoping that since it is Scott doing the film that he has made it as gritty as the original Alien film. I guess time will tell. Also when it comes to this movie I do not care what the critics are going to say about it I am definitly going to go and see this flick

Olivers first xmas

Thursday already

bluntslyd — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 13:24:19 +0000

So it is Thursday and I am just getting ready to head off to work. I am not working with my boss. Actually I have not been really working with my boss much as of late. I don’t really mind though. I have been doing some actual work since I have been working with other people.

I got a few new aches and pains…lately my right new has been really sore. I don’t know what that means but I am sure it can’t be good. I am going to have to make an appointment sometime and have it looked at.

new toy of the week

The other day I was talking to Joey the shop guy and I was telling him that I would really like to get my hands on a full face gas mask. The next day I came into work and what do I see…that’s right you are looking at my brand new North 5400 gas mask.

At this time I only have the default cartridges but I am going to be getting a tougher filter system and since they are “relativity” cheap I think I will get some in the new year sometime.

So what else is new? Well over the last week me and Jaclyn decided that we would take Oliver and have a day out. We figured that since he liked the bath that he would like hanging out in a pool. WE WERE RIGHT with that assumption. I was waiting for him to start crying in the pool but he was really chill. The first day the pool was a bit chilly for him but he lasted 30 minutes. Luckily the price of the swimming was only 2 dollars each so we didn’t really lose any cash.

New phone purchase averted…

So last night I was sitting around doing nothing like usual and I had to check my voice mail. When tried to check it I was not hearing anything. Of course I checked to make sure that the call connected. It did but there wasn’t any sound.

Of course at this time I was starting to panic because my phone was “broken”. I thought that I could try and reset my phone and this could possibly fix the issue I was having. It didn’t … I did some research about the issue and I found out that the issue was something really stupid.

Earlier in the day I was using my phone to watch an episode of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia with my ear buds. When I pulled to plug out I guess the phone thinks that the ear buds are still plugged in and kills the speaker (temporarily). The fix for it was simple. I just had to plug the buds back in and unplug them again and the situation was resolved. I know this is something stupid to write about but hey its something.

Fuck you Lilian…

When I was a kid there was this lady that lived down the street from me. She was really nice to me and she sometimes let me come over to her house and have cookies and what not. I know that this sounds like something from a book but it is true.

Why am I writing about this woman? Well here is the reason…one time (has to be about 30 ish years ago) I was at her house and she gave me an apple. When I got the apple I took a bite and then put a little salt on the apple. Lilian (the womans name) asked me what I was doing and I told her that putting some salt on it made the apple taste better.

She looked at me and with this disgusted tone said that this is something that I must have learned from (and I quote) “One of the drunks that is always at your house”. Now as a child I never really thought anything of the statement. But many years later it popped into my head and as I thought about it I came to the realization that this woman was a fucking bitch!!!

Sure there may have been some people at our house that may not been her caliber of people but she did not have ANY RIGHT to say what she did. It makes me feel like she looked down on my mother and my family and that is something that I will not and cannot forgive. She is long dead and I hope that she is in peace but when it comes to that situation I am glad that she is rotting in the ground.
