*NOTE* WOW.... this site doesn't allow me to copy and paste from my email to HERE.... so I have to retype what I sent to my email while I was on the toilet before...
anyways.... heres what I wrote while on there before...
Having a quick sit down before taking holly for a walk. Didnt want to bring the lt in to convalute and hold up The process. Heres a thought tho, maybe i should close the bathroom window. Not that its cold per say, but with the rest of the house Warmer it feels like really cold on my ass cheeks when i sit down. Man a million dollar invention? Heated toilet seats. I should look into that.
I than proceeded to send THIS message to a bunch of my contacts on my phone...
Million $ invention. Heated toilet seats. that way u can hav the window open 2 let the stank out but the next person doesnt get a cold ass. Who wants to invest?
Here are the responses I got....verbatim
"sorry to tell u but there's heated toilet seats already."~Gf's Sister
"what about in the summer aircodition"~friend and ex co worker
"wow. thats pretty good"~friend, drummer/co singer/co song writer in my 1st band
"lmao... japanese beat u to it... heats/sprays water/ has air that dries... going to lunch now baby~gf
"Right after i buy that bridge you offered last week"~family
"dude, they already have them in Japan!"~friend from the UK
"I believe its been done :-P"~friend and ex co worker
"Remind me of a joke. Wut do pussy n a warm toilet seat hav in common? They both feel great but u cant help but wonder who was there before u."~friend
"Too late my man! Japanese company already makes them!"~friend and ex co worker
"We need one for the back shop right away! You're alive!!!"~friend and ex co worker
"Sorry man those already exist lol... back to the drawering bored"~friend
"Lmao"~friend
So the moral of the story? Either, I should be happy cause I'm as smart as some japanese dude, or, I should be sad that I'm a repetitive lessoff with no original ideas of my own.... HM....

Back In To Finish Things Off.... For The Time Being...
Heres a quick thought, something I don't understand, and can't seem to make heads or tails of.
I'm living with my gf and her sister for the time being out here in Cali. They were awesome enough to understand the whole scenrio about me moving out here, the reasons, etc, etc, so, this is where I am at.
Obviously, I'm sharing a room with my gf. Her sister has the master bedroom, so, her room has its own big bathroom and a wet room, which is kinda awesome. So, the upstairs where the rooms are, my gf and I have the second bathroom thats upstairs. I hope the aesthetics are understandable. Basically cause her sister has a bathroom in her room, the second bathroom on the floor is my gfs? IDK, anyways, my gf is one of those women who has mad tubes and bottles and such laying around. It's actually quite humerous.
But on the sink there is alot of beauty products and such.
If your a woman, you will fully understand this I'll assume, and prolly get a chuckle out of it, if your a man living with a woman, you too will also understand this scenerio and prolly think, yeah i baarely have any room for my stuff.... which isn't a prob here cause I do everything in the shower, and if your a single dude, meaning, no regular GF, not married, not engaged, just a single dude, be it, single NOT getting laid, OR, single and getting MAD laid.... you, chances are won't get the comedy here.... best suggestion I can give you? Next time your on a date and she brings you back to HER place.... go take a piss, or wash your hands, or whatever, find an excuse to use the bathroom, and, just take a look around, and you WILL get it... well, unless of course, shes got more than one bathroom, and, there is a GUEST bathroom, and the master suite bathroom, which in that case, if you get laid, before you leave, take a look in the master bathroom.... you may enjoy the comedy of this than.
ANYWAYS, my gf does do something that I just don't get. She seems to ALWAYS put her toothbrush down on the ONE part of the sink it SHOULDN'T be....
Now, while I write this next passage about my gfs toothbrush, think about all the varibles I just talked about above, and try and guess what I mean when I say, the ONE part of the sink a toothbrush SHOULDN'T be....
My gf has one of those electric toothbrush dealies. Like, ok, not ELECTRIC, but battery operated... I think its an Oral-B (as opposed to an Oral-A, which, you would think would be a better choice for a name, since, well, Oral-B suggests SECOND best, as in school and like while grading meats, A is better than B, so, why its Oral-B INSTEAD of Oral-A, I don't really know at the moment, that might be something I could Wiki in the future, which, on even a further side note, my wiki'ing is going downhill cause of this blog since THATS what I used to do while sitting here, but anyways...) But, I believe its an Oral-B, you know, one of those dealies where its 2 brushes in one, the top is like a circle, that moves in a circular motion when on, and, the botton in a square or rectangle and moves up and down when turned on? So, when she put it on the sink, its NOT laying down, its standing up.
Ok, so, back to what I was saying, and, I'm sure you have ample time to try and figure out where the ONE place on the sink counter a toothbrush SHOULDN'T be....
She ALWAYS stands it up.... RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE HAND SOAP.
Yes. RIGHT IN FRONT.
Which means, when I'm done with my business here, well here is the chain of events....
I take the laptop off my lap, and place it not on the floor, but, on top of some of the laundry on the floor so that way in case my feeble mind forgets that its ON the floor and I step back and onto it, maybe having some cushion underneath MIGHT help it, but I lean forward, I place the laptop down, than I do my clean up work underneath... you would think with my expertise in this area, the federal government would have NO problem hiring me, since I do such a good job cleaning up, making sure to get in the crack to make sure its spotless.... I than proceed to stand up, pull my pants or shorts or whatever up, turn, go to get some HAND SOAP to wash my now "Dirty" hands.... but WAIT.... I can't obtain any hand soap... because, to GET to the hand soap, I now have to find a way (a very good song by the band Smoosh BTW, but thats neither here nor there) to move my gf's toothbrush, that she puts in her mouth, WITHOUT touching it with my micro fecal matter covered hands.....
And each time, its an interesting puzzle to be solved....
Now, I know what some of your may be thinking here, if she needs to put it where she puts it, lay it down with the brush side up so its not on the dirty sink....
While THAT seems like a fabulous idea.... what happens if the brush winds up under the spout of the hand soap (oh, of which we have TWO things of hand soap in the bathrooth BTW... which, is a story for another day) so NOW, theres a chance there will be hand soap on my gfs toothbrush the next time she goes to use it, because, as EVERYONE knows, hand soap ALWAYS leaks from those things....
But, how do I go about this now? I NEED to wash my hands, cause, clearly like you can tell, I have NOT touched the laptop with fecal matter covered hands.... ALSO, I honestly have an aversion to touching bathroom doors with my hands, because, well, people, honestly, how many times have you gone to the bathroom and NOT washed your hands afterwards, yet proceeded to walk out and touch a door handle.... and even if YOU haven't, think about the amount of times it has happened PREVIOUS to you using a public restroom... a good example of this? A bathroom POST-game at a sporting event when the lines are out the door.... your in a rush and you piss, and go....in public restrooms, I always use paper towels to open the door after I wash cause of this....
SO.... touching the door to get out and wash my hands in a different bathroom, IE the kitchen sink, is NOT an option...
LEAVING THE DOOR OPEN... is not an option EITHER, because in addition to Holly being in the house (not that she would come in the bathroom, cause she won't) my gf's sister has a dog as well, but this dog is stupid. If you leave the bathroom door open, the dog will come in and nuzzle you while you are taking a shit, and, I'd rather not have a dog nuzzling me while I'm taking a shit... while it seems that alot of dogs LIKE shoving their noses in assing that are shitting, WHILE they are shitting, or immediately POST shitting, yeah, this isn't an option EITHER....
So, we're now back to the problem, how than in fact do I wash my hands, and the ORIGINAL question and non understandability of why my gf proceeds to stand her toothbrush up in front of the hand soap dispenser in the first place?!?!?!
Most times, I use my elbow and push the brush over onto the sink AWAY from where the soap dispenser is, but than, I feel bad that it hits the sink top, and I spend 5 minutes washing it, which, when your busying bumming around the house without a job, dude, those 5 minutes are FUCKING PRECIOUS, well, ok, TECHNICALLY those 5 minutes arent "fucking" the actress from the movie Precious, but, I think you caught my original meaning here, other times, I unroll some TP and grab it and move it with THAT, but, than, I'm wasting resources that in my current jobless position is dire to saving, since I don't have the 70 cents to go buy another roll.... I'd than wind up like one of those bums, except when I was walking around looking for deposit cans, instead of going and buying a 40 of Night Train or Olde E, or my FAV... Crazy Horse, or even some Georgi Vodka, I'd be the weirdo telling the cashier at Ralph's...
"dude, I walked around ALL FUCKING DAY for the deposits to get enough money to buy toilet paper to wipe my ass, cause I had to use the last of the previous roll to move my gfs toothbrush, because she ALWAYS places it RIGHT in front of the fucking hand soap dispenser!!!!"
So, as if you didn't think that the bathroom and emptying out WASN'T an adventure, most days, for me, it IS an adventure in here.
What to do about the toothbrush situation? I don't rightly know. I moved it before when I was in here, since, you know, it WAS in front of the hand soap dispenser, so, it won't be an issue AGAIN, but, what about tomorrow morning when I come in here for my morning glory?!?!?!
Yeah yeah yeah... I ALREADY know what you smart asses are thinking... why don't you just ask your gf to NOT put it in front of the hand soap dispenser, I have. Which leads me to think, maybe she put it there on purpose, and, while shes at work, gets a good fat laugh out of my puzzlement in the bathroom, knowing that I forget about shit like that UNTIL I see it sitting there.... and then I get all flustered about what am I gonna do?!?!?! AHHHH?!?!?
Well, if I start to believe that IS in fact the case.... maybe I'll start using her toothbrush to make EXTRA sure my butthole is clean..... HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Excuse Me... Do You Know Where The Crapper Is?
I Need to drop off some timber...
Early today, haven't started looking for jobs yet, woke up about 45 minutes or so ago, was just getting my legs under me, than, the gurgling started, so I figured it best to come drop off some timber, even if it is earlier than normal.
SO, fingers crossed everyone that I have some luck finding some places to apply today!!!
Oh, and, yeah, I hit some button on error, so, chances are, if you are reading this previous to me editing the body of the post, its gonna say...
"Excuse Me... Do You Know Where The Crapper Is?"
in the title and nothing else....
Should be a fun an interesting weekend. My gf and her sister invited a few people over for Super Bowl sunday. I'm doing all the food prep, which is exciting for me, making some pop in the oven a cook shit, but alot of it will be more unique.
As for the Super Bowl, I'm not big into sports now as much as I was when I was younger. I was fairly good at baseball, but, never played football, and, I hated basketball, and sucked at it when I played in pick up games anyways, but, my gf and her sister are huge into football and my gf is huge into basketball. Respectivly they root for the broncos and chargers, I moved out here, and, decided since I didn't have a favorite team, I'd adopt the Raiders, which is kinda cool by me cause, the games I watched this year, the team was cool, and, Darren McFadden is fun to watch.... but, yeah, the Super Bowl, I grew up a Packers fan, Brett Favre is my fav player, but, the way Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy ushered him out of Green Bay to me was offensive, especially when its to the greatest player in NFL history, so, I said I wouldn't root for Green Bay as long as those 2 were in charge of the team. So, while the Super Bowl is on, I'll prolly be cooking away at the stove... which is fine, I don't think the game will be all that good this year anyways, people seem to think I'm crazy for saying that, but, I feel like the loss of Markice Pouncey is a bigger blow than they are letting on, I mean, last week, after he got hurt, they fumbled away a ball and got tagged for a safety after another bad snap, so, I think Green Bay will win comfortably by winning by 10-14 points.
Making all sorts of fun stuff, homemade Pizza Rolls, Dips, Wings.... should be a fun experimental food day for me.
Man, I think I'm gonna go down and get me a energy drink, I feel like I need one today... kinda dragging.... OH thats a good topic to end with.
My GF and I are having a huge arguemant about if or when we have kids, possible names for them. I want to name our kid, if we have a son, Richard Dragon. She doesn't seem to think thats a good idea. She has dragons tatted on her, so she LIKES dragons, so, I don't see what the problem is. Richard Dragon is a good strong name that would intimidate anyone just by the sound of it. We argue about this often. Apparently I'm never going to win. It's all well and good, I'll let her THINK shes gonna win, than, when shes done going thru labor, and squeezing the kid out, I'll flip the doctor, or, anesteiologist like 50 bucks, and, have them give her like a ridiculous amount of painkillers, so, that way she passes out.... and when she wakes up, I'll present her with her new son, RICHARD DRAGON, as, by this time, I'll have put the name on the birth certificate and there will be NOTHING she can do!!!!!

UHHHHH Yeah, Droppin' Loads!!!
Prolly not really a relevant title, but, I feel it is, if not originally meant for that...
Spent some time online looking for job, not going well. Yeah, prolly how most of my midday entries are gonna start....
Went to one of the most GHETTO stores I've ever had the pleasure of frequenting yesterday.... a ghetto type discount warehouse, but it was AWESOME. Great prices on some stuff, most of the products were "damaged" and such, but LOL, still some great deals.
We have added it to our list of stores to hit up.
Spent most of the afternoon yesterday with my gfs sister out and about doing some shopping, the above store was our first stop, and, while mad ghetto, it was well worth the time and effort.
Proceeded to hit Ralph's for what was on the Ralph's list.
Kinda russan this entry cause I gotta get to the recycling place to return bottles and cans so I can get gas for my car, than, gonna hit up the 99 cent store to do the rest of my shopping for the time being. That place is awesome, don't let anyone tell you different, when you don't care about things like brand names, its much better to pay a buck for something than 4 dollars....
Than I'm back home to walk Holly. It's been a few days since shes been walked, and, I know she has a grand old time, so, I'll do that today. My car also needs to be washed. It's amazing to me, what my car would look like after a WINTER or snow and ice and water and salt in NY.... it looks like after a WEEK out here, from what my gf tells me is the smog. It's truly amazing how fast dirt and grime and shit build up on the finish of the car, and add in the fact I really don't drive that much? The air quality out here must be worse than working in a house with exposed asbestos.......
anyways, off to shower and start the day.

I Wish I May, I Wish I Might...
so after finishing in here last night, I went back to bed, gf and dog both asleep, or, I'm sure Holly popped her head up, decided she didn't care about the bullshit I was pulling by moving around, Holly usually pops her head up, takes one look at what's going on, and walks out of the room, and, into the other room and goes back to sleep, but, I laid back down, and, for the first time I actually kinda appreciated the street light that shines thru the one window in my gf's bedroom.
While I have the blinds closed, and, turned down so no light gets in, it seems that no matter how I fix them, the street light between our neighbor to our left, and HIS neighbor to HIS left, ALWAYS shines thru somehow.
I have been trying to hide my face from it the better part of 3 months I've been out here, its kinda annoying to get a brief awake moment to get a drink from the bottle of water I keep next to the bed and than to try and get back to sleep, and you lay back down, and no matter what you do, you cannot just get that one little bit of light to STOP Shining on one of your eye lids.
Last night I had an awakening of sorts when I realized that, that street light is like my own personal star watching over me at night. Like that star at night sailors see that gives them hope cause maybe they HAVEN'T lost there way, even when they THINK they may have. Like a guardian angel always vigilant, to protect whom it was assigned to.
Listening to my mp3 player, staring at it gave me this odd sense of calmness I don't think I've had for a while, maybe, for the first time since I've moved out here.
I'm pretty much out of money, I have no job prospects, things haven't gone in ANYWAYS like I had planned, OR in anyway that I hoped, but seeing that light pushing thru the blinds last night, today, none of that seems to matter. I seem to be filled with a greater sense of hope and optimism than I have in a long time.
Maybe, just maybe, if I wish upon my own personal star tonight, maybe my wish will come true. Even if it doesn't, I feel ok because feeling like someone or something is watching over me, even when I feel like nothing is going right, when I was on the cusp of giving up hope that anything was going to change out here, gave me a renewed sense that there IS something greater out there for me than what I have now. All I have to do is have the faith and the patience to let it happen. But, if ANYTHING, I can think of my new friend whenever I get sad or upset or discouraged, and I can at least... Smile.
While I have the blinds closed, and, turned down so no light gets in, it seems that no matter how I fix them, the street light between our neighbor to our left, and HIS neighbor to HIS left, ALWAYS shines thru somehow.
I have been trying to hide my face from it the better part of 3 months I've been out here, its kinda annoying to get a brief awake moment to get a drink from the bottle of water I keep next to the bed and than to try and get back to sleep, and you lay back down, and no matter what you do, you cannot just get that one little bit of light to STOP Shining on one of your eye lids.
Last night I had an awakening of sorts when I realized that, that street light is like my own personal star watching over me at night. Like that star at night sailors see that gives them hope cause maybe they HAVEN'T lost there way, even when they THINK they may have. Like a guardian angel always vigilant, to protect whom it was assigned to.
Listening to my mp3 player, staring at it gave me this odd sense of calmness I don't think I've had for a while, maybe, for the first time since I've moved out here.
I'm pretty much out of money, I have no job prospects, things haven't gone in ANYWAYS like I had planned, OR in anyway that I hoped, but seeing that light pushing thru the blinds last night, today, none of that seems to matter. I seem to be filled with a greater sense of hope and optimism than I have in a long time.

Mad Fucking Kneeding Went On Tonight
So, yeah, I decided to cook with, yet again, what we had handy in the house. Made some more pizza dough, this time, i made some like Mac and Cheese Bacon Rolled things, and, my gf pulled out a bag of O'Briens Potatoes, whatever the hell that means, potatoes, onions and peppers, how THATS "O'Briens Potatoes" I'll never know. I met Ken O'Brien once, he was pretty cool. So I made a pizza with the side flopped over onto the top kinda pizza with that.
Both came out well, but, the O'Briens Potatoes since I've never used them previous, I didn't really mess around with them and they seemed a bit bland, maybe some seasonings next time, and, I STILL can't seem to get the right amount of Garlic and Italian type seasonings right to get that flavor out of the crust, you know, by mixing it in.
What else went on? My gf and her sister are trying to get me to try out for Jeopardy, I keep saying with how MY luck is, I'll get 5 catagories I don't know NOTHING about, and look liek a complete Doomaas (and I guess by definition a Dubai as well, as, you know, Dubai... I'ts The Same Thing as Doomaas) on network TV.
but we'll see I guess, I mean, whatelse do I have to do during the day?
Not much I can tell you that.
I am going shopping tomorrow for food to cook in the near future. Mad cooking will be going on here.
Other than this, I'm ripping the skin off my thumbs, so, thats kinda exciting... wow I'm mad spacey right now...

A Very Telling Experiance
Yeah, I know, I prolly spelled Experience wrong, but whatever, wanted to relay this story.
So, I wake up feeling like shit, I may have mentioned that my gf and her sister have been sick, both seem fine now, and now I'm sick. I'm not really one to whine and bitch about this, my previous job, in 3 and a half year I missed 2 and 2 half days due to not being able to work, and, the 2 FULL days were due to horrible root canal pain from the previous night.
So, I do what I need to do regardless.
Anyways, I wake up still feeling like shit, take some dayquill. Last 2 I had. So now my options are NOT take any medicine when i need to like 4-6 hours later, or, get off my lazy ass and go get some.
I decided to fiddle about on the net looking for jobs, no luck again today before I went out and got my meds. Hit around 12pm or so, I'm starting to get a little more stuffed, start sucking on the last chloroseptic I had, and, got myself up, put one some clothes, ugh the thought of me, you know, SANS clothes is disgusting to me as well, tell Holly that I'm going around the block to Rite Aid, put my jacket on, start jiggling my keys at Holly, so, she starts barking and doing her little happy holly dog dance deal, we hit the car, put on some R.L. Burnside, head on down the road.
The rite aid near me is only like around the block, so, it's not a long car ride. Anyways, get there, go in, grab a bag of Cinnamon Teddy Bear cookies, u know, they kinda are a knock off of teddy grahams, buck a bag, they make a good little treat for Holly whem shes being a good girl in the room, and head off to grab my medicine, walking down some of the food aisles, wondering if they have what I was looking for to make something for dinner.... they don't, was thinking that after my success with pizza yesterday I'd make pepperoni pinwheels or something to that effect, but no mozzerella and not pepperoni at Rite Aid, head off to the cough and cold aisle, the brand Nyquill and Day Quill were onsale, but out of stock, so, I got me a 20/40 dayquill nyquill split and a box of 20 dayquill. Rite Aid brand, even off sale and the brand onsale, the Rite Aid was a buck cheaper. Start walking out of the aisle and remember that I had finished my last throat losenge before I came out, so, I went and bought the rite aid version of that, hey, 3.15 compared to 5.99.... thats almost a gallon of gas!!!!
Anyways, get to the front, and, whose ringing me up? The store Manager. I found this odd cause when I worked for that heartless drug chain, it WASN'T Rite Aid BTW, the DAY Crew consisted of.... 3 cashiers... 2-3 MANAGERS (combination of store manager an assistants) and/or a head cashier and shift supervisor... a photo tech... a cosmetics person, and most days a Hallmark person......
I look around and realize, this man is here ALL BY HIMSELF. Dudes, the STORE MANAGER was the ONLY one working in the front store part of this Rite Aid....
When would a better oppertunity present itself to ask about a job than RIGHT NOW....
I have asked previous at this location, as 10+ years retail pharmacy experience you would think would get me a job, the people have always been nice and given me what are REAL excuses as to why that particular location WASN'T hiring, I even left my resume and asked if they would call if they DID have an opening...
Anyways, I asked the Store Manager about a job, and, he explained that the company isn't allowing him to hire any new employees at the moment. I kinda chuckled and said that it sure looks like he needed the help as he seemed to be doing everything in the store at the moment... good natured kinda guy he chuckled again, and explained the company won't even give him the hours he needs to put people on where needed at the moment either.
I like that the people out here have good attitudes, if this was a New York store manager, and, I've worked directly with some, they would be bitching up a storm they didn't have a head cashier or shift supervisor to respond to casher needs, and whine and cry and bitch and than not do ANYTHING but sit in the office sending text messages. One girl I used to work with in particular used to do this during the day. When she had no help, she'd just sit in the office and decided that if she had to walk back and forth to anwser employee problems, she wasn't gonna do nothing but sit on her ass in the office the whole shift. I thought she was nice, she was counted as a friend when she worked with me on my shift, but she went to the day and that was that.
Anyways, thats the kind of way people in NY deal with that... in Cali it sure seems people are more willing to do what they need to do, as opposed to throwing a bitchy hissyfit and doing NOTHING.... I felt bad for this guy, but at least he had a smile on his face....
Sadly, that's the situation I seem to be in out here... the guy CLEARLY needs the help, be it hours for current employees OR to hire someone to work DURING the day, but I guess for whatever reason, business being slow? not enough profits? whatever, the company doesn't allow them too do what needs to be done.
Leads me to think that maybe upper management in Rite Aid might have taken some hints from the way the heartless drug chain I used to work for does business, and to how they treat their employees, which is a shame, cause that Rite Aid is FULL of amazingly wonderful and helpful employees. It makes me proud when I get one of those printed recipts with the survey on the bottom, to take 5 or 6 minutes to call in and do it, especially when the SPECIFIC store is amazing and the people there care, even if it sure seems like the companies upper management may have forgotten to.
