My Life In South Carolina

I’ve got to get back into this whole blogging and twitter thing. I haven’t updated either in quite awhile.

As I sit here in church updating on my Blackberry, I’m struggling for something to talk about. Oh, here’s something, how about blogging during church when I should be listening to the pastor talk about sin, and how he’s against it, but you already know that story.

Let’s try this.

Since my last update football season and deer season have begun. I’m not a huge pro football fan, but I like college. I’m not looking forward to another year of USC (not Southern Cal) frustration that’s ahead of me. I tell ya, the Gamecocks give me chest pain every week. I spend most of the games rolling around on the floor trying to hold back the onslaught of curse words wanting to escape my mouth why my son looks at me like I should be in a nervous hospital or something. The whole time he’s preaching to me about how it’s just a game and everybody wins. WTF? What are the school systems teaching kids nowadays? When I was growing up the team with the most points was the WINNER!

As far as deer season goes, this is all I’ve seen so far. The little punk was sneaking up on me, but I saw him first. I’ve killed about twelve hours in the last week for a turtle.

So, I’m gonna start by trying to update a little more often. I may do some live on the scene stuff, you know, while I’m hunting. Here’s a little taste of what to expect.

Me: 7:30 a.m.  Sittin’ here in a tree and haven’t seen anything.

Me: 8:20 a.m. Still haven’t seen anything.

Pretty exciting right?

Stay tuned.

This morning I stopped for coffee at McDonald’s, everyone talks about how good it is so I thought I’d give it a try.

I’m no coffee expert, I only drink one cup a day, but I like my one cup to be good coffee. I’ve been a big fan of coffee from Burger King, but I’ve had some customer service mishaps with them so I felt a boycott may be needed, and I’m still sticking to it.

Anyway. I ordered a medium coffee at the counter inside McDonald’s, I was asked if I would like cream and sugar and I politely replied “please.” Now this may sound like no big deal but I was then asked “how many?” WTF? I have no idea, I haven’t tasted your coffee, I don’t know how big a medium cup is. I almost froze on that question, I don’t like being put on the spot.

I have a system when it comes to coffee and I don’t need anyone monkeying with it. Is it to much to ask for you to put out some cream and sugar like every other fast food joint in the world? The first thing that popped in my head was five creams and five sugars. Overkill right? At least this way I could add as many as I wanted. I’ve come to the conclusion I just don’t like the McDonald’s process for ordering coffee, so I think that will be my last time.

Yesterday after work I went to the gym for another half ass-ed attempt at a cardio workout. In the small gym I frequen,t we have one racquetball court. It’s on a daily sign up basis.

Yesterday I noticed that the same two guys have it everyday at the same time. I thought this was a little unfair. How do they get it at the same time everyday? I myself think it’s a little selfish. Who do they think they are? I seriously considered reserving it for the next week or so just to see how they’d react. I’m pretty sure they’d be some kind of sweaty melt down involved. I don’t even play racquetball, but if it would inconvenience these two jerks I’d consider starting.

I don’t know why, but it grinds my ass that they think they own it. I’m sure other people woould like to play, but they just say f@ck-it because those guys are there everyday. I think I could handle it better if one of the duo wasn’t sporting a mullet.

I don’t know maybe I have a problem.

My son comes home from school everyday with one thing on his mind…food. I can’t say I blame him, I remember being the same way. I guess all that learning makes you hungry. Huh? I’ve been on vacation so I’ve been picking him up at school, and the first thing he does when entering the house is to start throwing the cabinets in all directions looking through the array of chips and cookies we have on hand. Finally, he ends up in the freezer digging through the many Kids Cuisines that only he consumes.

I’m not much on these, all the food taste like plastic to me. I do however like the pudding that comes with most of them as the dessert. My son hates pudding so this is a huge win for me. God, I love the stuff. Does anybody know where I can buy just the pudding? I would really appreciate it if anyone had any information. I’m jonesing man! I seriously think I’m addicted.

I was listening to a Coast to Coast AM podcast today at work and the first hour seemed to deal with bedbugs. I have to say this is all news to me. I’ve never heard of such. I remember the saying “goodnight, don’t let the bedbugs bite” but come on, they’re real? WTF?

They seem to be a real problem in some area’s of the world and now the U.S. I really don’t know what’s gonna be next I mean we already have H1N1 now bedbugs. I’m I gonna find out cooties are real? I shutter to think of that one. I travel a lot and I see cootie candidates all over the place, I could see a huge infestation of cooties before an epidemic of H1N1. I’m just saying.

I’ve decided to put in for another job at the company I work for. The whole process is driving me nuts. I had to fill out a form just like I walked in off the street, after that a resume was required. I’ve been working for the same company for almost fifteen years. WTF? Needless to say my resume skills weren’t where they needed to be, and I spent half the morning getting resumes from coworkers just so I’ll know how to do one. I haven’t been job hunting in quite awhile so a resume was at the bottom of my list of things to do, you know right there with skydiving.

Am I wrong to think that I shouldn’t be treated like a new hire? I think almost fifteen years of service should pretty much sum up my time with the company.

What do you think, am I wrong?
