Hooooray Something to Bitch About....

Yesterday we had our first practise of the season.....well the first practise I was made aware of, anyway. You see the coach only got my email address from the youth league a few days ago so until then he was not able to contact me. This was typical of this league and just part of the reason I am not coaching. You see this youth league is very, very unorganized. Just to the point that I refuse to coach, sure I will help out in other ways but do not ask me to do anything that might involve planning. Work the kitchen, help clean the field or whatever tasks might be needed for the field itself; no problem. Let me count the ways (from last year) of why I am not getting involved:

• Once I said I would coach I was given a team....oh wait not that one.....oh wait this one is not good either.....here you can have this one. I felt like I was just given the team no one else wanted. The kids were great the parents were not toooo bad but still.....has anyone ever heard of the 'Muck Dogs' ?


• On opening day, which a they do a parade to the field we use, I had not received anything about the 'cheese cake sale'. This is the fund raiser they do to raise money for the league. But mind you I saw everyone else there with packets handing them out. I had to chase down someone to get mine. This was also the day I had to chase someone down to get my equipment bag.


• Game days and practise were not all that problematic, there were a few snags here and there, but that is life. But the team moms did seem to have some problems with knowing who did kitchen duty and who did not. And even though my wife made it very clear about how it worked, our idea of clean was not everyone else's definition of clear.


• When the season was over I was told I could drop off the equipment at the field. Well, I tried to return the gear they gave on three occasions and each time they told me to hold on to it until someone contacted me. No one called, and each time I tried to return it they told me that they did not want to get everything mixed up and just to wait. Well I still have all the gear I was given last year on the porch. And if they do not contact me by the end of this season about it I am claiming it as mine. Not that I really want it but I have kept this stuff safe for them for a year now and it seems they do not want it back. I am almost tempted to label this post with the name of the league just to see if anyone contacts me about this post.....but I probably wont. I don't want to make it toooo easy for them haha.

But I must say it did feel strange not being on the field being the one telling the kids: 'Stop playing with the dirt' 'Keep your eye on the ball' 'Ok, heads up and gloves down' I was just another parent on the side lines watching and freezing my ass off. This will be our third season with this league and my first not being on the field with the kids. I do feel bad about it but my nerves are not willing to do that again. I will practise with Seth on our own but as for the actual coaching, I am leaving that up to someone else. CellPhone picture from yesterday:

Another Day in the Life of....Me

Work and school, work and school...makes one really love those little moments of freedom. And someday I will look back and miss it.....well I dont think there will ever be a time when I miss school. I am not going into a rant about hating the institution or how it is just another scheme set up to separate you from your money, nope not going to do it.
Just popped in for some blogging time nothing more. Here to report Seth is now 8:





And life is plugging along the way it should. Well at least in our neck of the woods anyway. But it is strange to see snow on the first day of spring!




Then again when living in NJ you have to be ready for anything. Like when I saw my first episode of 'The Jersey Shore' I was like :



Nope, not one fuck was given that day. It is amazing, if you do not turn on your tv to actually watch any shows your life still has meaning. Dont get me wrong I still watch it from time to time, just to make myself feel better about myself.
And I know that can sound mean and self centered, by hey I am an American and if you dont like what I am saying here:



We are making all kinds of plans for the up coming months. Taking the kids to see Thomas the Train up in PA, I am saving up money for my road trip to TN to finally finish this tattoo, the wife is planning to take a trip out to CA and I cannt wait to hit the beach this summer.
Which reminds me.....I hope it warms up soon I need to get my ass out and start running off this winter coat I have been growing. I did get me some new running shoes, they are a little bit different than most the ones out on the market:



They are called Skele-Toes and they are made by Fila. Navy Man had a pair very similar to these but they were alot more expensive and they had grooves for all the toes. These only have 4, makes getting them on a little easier....just a little.
They did take some getting used to but now I wear them all the time. As soon as I get home from work I put them on, they have become my everyday shoes as well lol.
Now if I could only get my ass up at 4am everyday from here on out to go running I will be all set hahahaha!

Life as usual

There have been a few times I have thought about taking this blog down, I mean hell it is so rare that I ever come here anymore. But then I look at all the post I have and all the memories I have stored up on here. I could not delete this anymore than I could burn my journals.
It doesn't matter how often I come here, all that matters is that I come back. Even if its only to troll on my own blog or to take a tour down memory lane.

I know this site will never generate money, even though I keep getting these things telling I can just by putting ads on my blog. I will never become a famous writer because I blog, I have thought about getting a degree in journalism but then I am not sure I am willing to turn a hobby into a job. I like to write, but it's on my terms and I write when I want to about things I want to bitch about. No censors, no editors and no boss telling me my work sucks. Hell I know that, but I can suck on my own terms and be happy about it.

This blog is about my random life and I will blog just as randomly as I please. I know if I HAD to blog I would hate it. And since I have been in a funk as of late I have had no real pep to get up and blog.

It must be the weather, I swear if it snows again I will take a shit in mother natures mouth the next time she falls asleep! I have some serious cabin fever and it has manifested itself in some strange ways. Like being coming a lazy toad, I am lazy but this has gotten way out of hand. It is time to get things back in order while it is still at a recoverable level ha! And before I develop a chronic case of Dickie-Do...you know when your gut sticks out farther than your dickie-do!
Yep its time to shead the winter coat again and start my spring training.....but I think I wait until tomorrow lol!

But life goes on, skool, work, family and everything else that makes us complete. I need to take my camera off and dust it off, that too has not been out in a while. When you are in a funk everything is in a funk. I do have a few pictures to end this blog with. So let me just put them up so I can get to working on avoiding doing any real work today:

1) I hate Smart cars with a passion. They are gay gay gay gay.....not the man on man love kind of gay but the pink shirt wearing yoga instructor that doesn't eat meat kind of gay. Two men slamming ass is the homosexual gay stuff, which is what I would rather do than ever buy one of these things. And yet this restaurant I eat on a regular basis has one.....gayyyyyyyyy.



2) I did take out the camera the other day when I saw Lucas watching TV using my bathrobe as a blanket. Kids are just to damn cute sometime.



3) I have been on this funny picture kick as of late, I have lots and lots of de-motivational posters. This one I actually put up on my FB to express how I was feeling one day. Sometimes this is all I want to say to people......and with that type of enthusiasm!


4) And my last picture is that of the Valentines Day gift me and the kids made for the wife. It does get harder each year to come up with something new. But this year I did a home made card from me and the kids and a plate with strawberries and chocolate. I tried to cut them into little hearts but it turn out to be a little more difficult that I thought. But oh well, they will end up in the same place no matter what shape they are made into hahahaha!



Have a happy Friday people...pss....does anyone know anything about accounting, I am taking a class in it now and I am a bit confused in all of it.......pssss I hate college :-D but its almost over.......

How many different ways to say TIRED

Yep it has been a whirl wind of excitement in my world. Well I guess if going to school, work, picking up little monkeys from school and cleaning the house is what you call excitement lol. Life is what it is and I know when I am really old I will look back and wish for these crazy days back. Life is hard but that is what makes life worth living, if it was easy no one would care. Everything would be taken for granted and nothing would have any real value to it.

Everyone complains about the pains of life but that is because bitching about something makes us feel important. And everyone wants to feel better about themselves. I am a lazy shit and know that if I just got my ass in gear 30% of the time I probably could do wonders but......oh its nap time...brb.....

Ahhhh much better, now where was I? I cannot remember oh well, oh look office meeting left overs!

And just like that I am off to the races with something else lol. Many of us want to be something we are not, including me its called day-dreaming. Because reality sucks, but you know what? I love all the sucky stuff about reality. I am trying not to rush all this, yes its hard and annoying but I am 34 and dont remember getting this old. I mean how did I get here so fast? It was 1994 just yesterday....right!?!

Time has moved on and the good times have all passed.........No they have not! The good times keep on rolling! Yes my 20's were fucking awesome but so have been my 30's and so will my 40's and so on. I have probably 64 more years of balls to the wall fun to go....btw I am going to live to be 100. I have to see the tricentennial of our country!

As I hear people complain about life I will join in, but secretly smile to myself because my moaning and groaning is more of me showing off than an actual bitch fest. I love this pain we call life and this blog is my testament to it. And since I have been such a lazy cork sucker with the pictures I think it is time to drop a huge load of pics on this bastard!

Here are the pictures from the New Years Eve party we went to:

1) Yep that about sums it up lol

2) Seth with his party cup....Juice on the rocks sir

3) His name is Turd....how cool is that lol

4) The Internet, helping the opposite sex unite one site at a time

5) Lucas on a juice run

6) The wife unit is all smiles lol

7) Alan with the worst fake smile ever


8) I swear there is something in that juice!

9) Almost the exact same shot haha

10) Grow ups become big kids the more they drink lol

In NJ we have been hammered this winter with some god awful weather. We have had snow/freezing rain/ice storm almost every week since the start of the new year. And just this Monday I woke up to find my car a block of ice. To the point I was able to take a picture of the window rolled down but the ice still up.

For anyone who lives in a crowded town knows all about saving the spot you shoveled out with a chair or some random piece of garbage you can find. I think that practise is fucking retarded, I mean try saving your spot like this on a sunny day and see what happens. Yes you shoveled it out but it is on a state own road not your drive way asshole, no saving spots. Here are the two spots i had fun digging out, i look at shoveling snow as an exercise not a chore. Its fun and gets the blood pumping!

Oh and by the way, I do not save spots. If I have to I will get out the old shovel and make a new one if I have to lol.

I am back in skool and struggling, mainly because I am having a tough time getting my books. Sorry i dont have 300$ to shell out for one book! But on a lighter side I skool does give me numerous chances to take funny pictures of people sleeping in class. Like this snoring beauty....and yes he was snoring lol


And speaking of school work here is Seth in his new PJ's doing his. I swear they give him more homework than I got when I was in the 5th grade....and he is only in the first!


One of the many times I came out of work to find, yet again, more snow!


Random picture of wife take by one of my wife's friends that is now my texting friend. I love finding people that love to text, and yes almost all of them are women....shocking a know!

And last but not least here is one of the snowman our neighbors made. About the only guy who loves the snow. And by the way its been two weeks since he was made and he is still there! That smile of his is starting to creep me out. Reminds me of this guy I knew when I was a kid, he drove a green van with tinted windows.....he had that same simle......

Xmass round up....

With all the holidays over it is now time to unwind and get back to normal. Well whatever you might call normal anywho lol. For me it is day two back to working out, the kids are all back in school, I will be back in a week and all is well.
Well except last week everyone got a stomach virus; Lucas, then Seth, then wife unit and finally me. Nothing helps kick start your diet like not eating and shitting yourself stupid for 24 hours! And with that lovely thought on with the pictures:

1) As usual we were up late for hours doing something that only took moments to undo. But at least the had fun lol


2) He still loves his pillow pet!


3) Getting a focused picture of Lucas is alot more difficult than one would think.


4) He is just mental for the presents!

5) He doesnt do well with mornings lol

7) I had to go to 4 different stores and one mall to find her this thing, I did not know that was going to be a run on Snuggies for the holidays. And if you have one, hold it up and take a look at the pattern used to make it......its a fucking rectangle with sleeves!

8) He loves Buzz and Woody almost as much as he loves Thomas.......almost.....

9) He wanted Star Wars Legos....I dont know why we got it for him....because Alan had all the fun building it!

10) By the time I took this picture Seth was already done with it....but Alan finished it and now it resides in his room lol

11) But we did find one present that fit them both.....medieval spongy weapons! Just what every boy needs for Christmas....weapons!

In all we had a great Christmas, I ate way way too much but that goes without saying. We still have yet to make it to my moms house, one thing or another has kept us from going. No real biggie, we are trying for this weekend. And even though we are supposed to get hammered with snow tomorrow the weekend should be fine.

I will be back later this week to put up some New Years eve pictures, we went to a friends house and got toe up.....but without the frow-up. HAHA
