Fairly successful day you could say. Didn't really get to sleep as much as I would've liked, but, in lieu of having to go to the store, I proceeded to make Pizza's with topping we had in the house.
Nothing like a Sloppy Joe Pizza.... while I'm sure that sounds.... not good, it turned out pretty great I thought, as well as the other one, made using leftover spaghetti sauce, and chedder cheese, montery jack and a little "nacho mix", with some bacon popped on for good measure.
The only thing I need to do different with my crust is add more seasonings. I'm the kinda guy who likes to have flavored crust. I mashed in a little Slow roasted california garlic and some italian seasoning into the dough, but, I couldn't taste it. Next time i'll prolly use more than the teaspoon of garlic and 2 teaspoons of italian seasoning that I did. Hm, maybe I'll start another blog of recipies that I've tried and think are a success. Not that I'd be doing that cause I'm a narcissitic asshole, but mainly cause, well, I write my recepies down, and have them in a Cinncinatti Reds folder I bought at the dollar store, and my handwriting is attrocious. My gf today asked me if I took the time to write down the recipie for that Banana Cake I made the other day, and, I informed her that I did, and I kinda thought typing them out might be a better way to go, when she was trying to read "LARD" but it looked like... "CANL"? whatever she saw. I could than add the link to the recipie I was talking about in case anyone who actually reads this wanted to try what I was making.
In fairness, and, in full revolation here, I don't really MAKE my own recepies, as much as I feel I'm improving, well, maybe not "IMPROVING" but, taking an exsisting thing, and, modifying it to be something I think may be good.
The Banana Cake is a good example, I didnt MAKE the "cake" mix, I used a store bought box of Dunkin' Hines.... So, IDK what the fuck you would call that, other than, Julia Child would prolly feel like I was the same thing to cooking as Julie Powell was. From what I've read about Julie Powell tho, the IRL Julie Powell, Julia Child might have a bit more respect for me... but, shes dead, and no one cares about what I'm writing, so, we'll never know.
But, maybe I'll do this, it might give me an excuse to type up the "J SuhPees" I'll call them, at the moment, cause, we'll, I'm kinda starting to feel my nyquill, and, my mind doesn't want to work, even tho I'm telling it to.... but this way they ARE typed out somewhere if I need them again, and, if people want to try some of them, hey, they are here to try. I'm all about doing the best I can with what I have in front of me, and, I feel I do a very good job of combining food stuffs. My gf and her sister, and their dogs seems to always be saying YUM when I cook.
So yeah, now I have a project for tomorrow when I finish browsing for jobs.
On that front, I just read a depressing article on the 10 best and 10 WORST cities in the US to get a job. the SECOND worst? Riverside, California. It said there are 12 applicants to every ONE job there. While I'm not in Riverside, I'm DAYM close.... so it's mighty despressing to know thats actually how BAD it is out here.
A friend of mine, Timmy, asked me today if I wanted him to take a look at my resume, as he is good at that sort of thing. I couldn't be more thankful that he offered. Maybe there IS something in my resume that is turning people off. I just don't understand how, even with a 12:1 ratio of applicants to jobs, and the FACT I'd have no issue taking something lesser than what I want to do, that I haven't gotten a call yet. You would think companies would want stability with their employees, especially in this job market, and, the fact in 19 years of working, I've had 3 jobs, one for over 3 years, one for over 10, and than again for more than 3 years, I would be the perfect candidate for any job I'm OVER qualified for, or even REMOTELY qualified for. Before coming in to drop off the Browns at the Super Bowl, and SPEAKING of the Browns, how about that Alex Mack Touchdown in the Pro Bowl today?!?!? MAD awesome, I sent him a copy of my resume. I hope when he gets home tomorrow from work, and, gets some time, he can take a look at it, and, maybe spruce it up some. Maybe it will help. I hope it does.
Anyways, got mad shopping to do this week, off to the really great dollar store for basic needs that its ridiculous to pay almost 5 or 6 times for at the regular store, and, than to the regular store for the things that NEED to be "brand" type stuff. I can respect that people have things they just HAVE to have a brand thing for... I'm like that with my toothpaste for example. I have sensitive gums, so I use Sensodyne. My gums bleed if I use any other toothpaste. Which reminds me, I need to send my dentist something towards the bill I left NY with. Don't want him flying to California and ripping out the fake teeth he was nice enough to put in!!!!
I promise I'll get up some of these recipies, er, "J SuhPees" I've talked about in this blog and link them. Banana Cake and Pizza are 2, not that the Pizza one is acceptable to me yet. Gotta get the right amount of spices in the dough.
There was MAD fucking Kneeding going on in this house today... yeah.... your jealous.

Back In For Another Round
Som what should I write about... don't really have too much on my mind at the moment. Just been fiddling about on facebook playing Madden Superstars and was about to play CityVille before I got a attack of the shittz.
My parents are awesome. "attack of the shits (now shittz)" was one of the sayings my dad used to say when he was getting stomach cramps.
Another was "a case of the ass" when you were feeling antsy or couldn't sit still. Its funny how things we hear so much growing up stick with us.
Just like, I remember this one time, my parents always made it a point not to swear in front of me, its one of the things my mother can't seem to grasp these days, why I swear as much as I do since they NEVER sweared in front of me, nar on a random occasion they would lose their cool with someone or something. Anyways, this one time, we were coming back from upstate NY where we used to spend every weekend when I was growing up, halfway between the towns of Calicoon and Hancock. I miss that, but anyways, we were coming back from upstate, and, I'm pretty sure it was memorial day weekend, simply because, and I don't know if they still do this, but, on one of the bridges we had to cross, they had a GIANT ass American flag hanging from the entrance from the Jersey side to the NY side. I believe it was the George Washington Bridge. But, it always seemed like there were lessoffs driving whenever we were driving home, not much has changed, out here in California, these people don't seem to realize that their vehicles come equipted with fucking DIRECTIONALS... anyways, same kinda thing....
This one time, my dad got cut off, and, I believe it was fairly close and he yelled "Cunt Lapper" at the top of his vocal range at this lessoff that cut him off. 20 years or so later, I'm still finding that more funny than offensive. I don't know, maybe I'm fucked up.
Man, the things we remember huh? Just like, I'm sure that not EVERYTIME we passed under or could see that huge American flag, but it just seems like it NOW, but, I just remember everytime we were passing it, or could see it, Bruce Springsteen's song "Glory Days" was on the radio while we were near it.
Courtney Cocks was in that video was she not? Man, if so, she is fucking OLD.
I really miss going upstate. My parents own a piece of property, 13 acres or so, that they always wanted to build a vacation home on. They never got the chance. I had hoped one day I would be able to build a vacation home on it, but, with me leaving my pot of gold job, and, living 3000 miles away now, doesn't seem like it would be practical to do it now. It's a shame. It was in the middle of nowhere, and, definetely a great way to spend a relaxing weekend away from the hustle and bustle of society. Maybe one day i'll get to look into something like that out here. California is so large, I'm sure there is places like that here.
Maybe one day.

Not Too Much To Say This AM
Just figured I'd check in while seeing which side of "doody or dooDEES" I'm gonna fall on this morning.
Well, it finally happened, after 2 weeks of my gf being sick, and, me seemingly immune to to, I can feel myself getting ill. Heads a little wonky, my nose is a little stuffed, coughing up a little phlegm.... it's my own fault really, had been taking nyquill to make sure I DIDN'T get sick, and, I stopped taking nyquill a few days ago and started taking that Sleep Aid. Prolly wasn't my best decision, as not only was it helping me sleep, I feel like it was preemptivly stopping me from being sick. Also prolly not a good idea? Sleeping with the blanket my gf has been coughing on since shes been sick covering my face, which, is what I did mid sleep and didn't realize it, as when I woke up to go leave a piss in the middle of the night, I had pulled the blanket over my face.
Hm, more testing going on at Auto Club Speedway this morning. I wonder whats going on over there. I'd suggest that most of the teams are down in Daytona getting ready for the start of the NASCAR season, so, it makes me wonder what kind of "secret" testing is going on there!
Still kinda bummed about missing the K+N All Star Showdown at Toyota Speedway in Irwindale last night. Oddly, I don't feel like Disc's 5+6 (while great) of Bubblegum Crisis 2040, and, hitting the hay at 9pm or so was a fair trade off. Have to go see how it turned out on NASCAR.com. They had a 5 or 6 minutes video of highlights of Friday. I hope I didn't miss Travis Pastrana winning his first stock car race in his first try.
Anyways, back to sleep, sans cough blanket, and PLUS some dayquill.
