Shitty weekend

So I end up spending Friday night at work till after 10, doing a test that is pure bullshit for a client from the Dominican Republic that doesn't speak a word of English. That was not a whole lot of fun. His contact here in the US had a neat little translation program on his PDA/phone, but you kind of have to be able to spell the word you want translated. So that was a lot more hassle than it was worth. Yesterday I spent the entire day in shit. Literally. When FEMA came out and put in the trailer in the back yard that my cousins are supposed to be staying in, they screwed up our sewer main, so shit was pouring out of the pipes. I got to spend what was an otherwise beautiful day and night outside snaking out the pipes. We worked on it till after 9pm, and still didn't get it all. We tried again this morning, and figured out that there is still some kind of blockage, most likely right in the spot where FEMA put the trailer tires on top of the sewer pipe. Then I went to pay my respects today to one of my neighbors that died thursday. She was 72 years old, and had lived a full life, but I had known her my entire life. I had even dated her grand daughter in high school. Her husband was, of course, distraught. They had been married for 52 years. I have been looking for a partner for a while now, and even at my relatively young age, I dont know if I will be able to find someone to spend the next 52 years with...we are all getting a little old before our time. This isn't the first time someone I have known for a long time has died, and I am sure it will not be the last. This one just kinda hit me when I was talking to her husband, and looking at all the pictures he had of her, and them together. All the memories they had made. I have a lot of memories right now, but so many of them lead me down dark paths to the breakups that came at the end, and the heartache in between. Cryptoknight tells me I dodged bullets with a lot of those...and I know he is right, but that doesn't really make the hurt go away. I have wanted someone to spend my life with for as long as I can remember. Hell, I was engaged at 18. Dansuer Rouge tells me that I will one day find a woman worthy of me (within the next 5 years I think she said, hehehe) but I can't help feeling a little old nowdays. Well, I guess we have to live life as it comes to us, for better or worse. Emily is right, one day someone will figure out what the hell they are missing. I have better things to do than worry about that right now...like worry about Gulf Wars.

Total Subject Change

GULF WARS!!! Just over 1 month away people. I know that we have a lot of us coming, and a lot of planning to get accomplished. If possible, I would like a full list of everyone coming, where you are planning on camping, what you are planning on bringing, and how long you are planning on staying. Elderaugh and I are planning on going up there early, most likely Sunday and setting up camp with the Axemoor group. Anyone who would like us to transport stuff for them, let us know soon. Also, we may be persuaded into setting up tents, depending on cuteness of girl, or how much alcohol the guys are willing to give us. Also, meals are going to be an issue. I am planning on cooking dinner enough for everyone at least one night, possibly 2. Since I know we have vegetarians comming, I am thinking seafood gumbo, or jambalaya. I may also do a big beef stew for us cow haters. So, questions, comments, rude remarks, suggestions, and all of that can either be left here as a comment or emailed to me at longshot777@gmail.com. Later people
