edit: God, I hope I'm not jinxing myself by telling ya'll this, but I just found out that I made it through the first cut for the job I applied for. That doesn't mean I'm gonna get it ... just that I'm qualified and being considered for it. I would appreciate any good thoughts/vibes/voodoo chants/animal sacrifices or other supplications to the gods/goddesses you could offer on my behalf. Thanks ya'll. Here's hoping for good news!
Just a few things. I weighed myself the other day and have lost another 10 pounds. I am down to 190. Now that may sound like "So What!" but it's a pretty big deal for me. I haven't weighed less than 200 pounds since I got out of Army basic training back in 1982. So with this new weight loss, I decided I needed to see about getting some new jeans. I headed to Wally-Mart and tried on a few pair of Levis. I walked in wearing jeans with a 38 waist. The jeans I fit into were size 30! I couldn't fucking believe it ya'll! I knew I was getting thin but dayumn! I think I will buy a pair of 32's however. They fit well and I wouldn't wanna be responsible for the lawsuits that would eventually come after women driving the highways got wet, got distracted and caused a huge pileup after seeing my tight little ass! (ok, it's not really tight or little, but it's littler and tighter than it used to be! WOOT!)
Second, we heard all summer about the price of gas being high and staying high for ever. You couldn't turn on the radio or TV without hearing something about it. Today gas in the Bayou State is at $2.21 per gallon. Where are all the fucking news reports about that? I mean Jesus! That's news! And some Texas friends tell me it's $2.05 over there! (thanks for rubbing it in asshat! Yeah I mean you!) Can it possibly go under $2.00 soon? Time will tell.
Third, I got the dress code changed at work today all by my lonesome! I went out and covered a deployment ceremony for a unit heading to Iraq today and I wore *gasp* jeans to work! OH THE HUMANITY! They weren't ragged or dirty. They were Calvin fucking Kliens for gods sake and I wore a collared, button up shirt with it. Long story short? We aren't allowed to wear jeans to work anymore and it's all my fault. Yeah I'm real popular with the guys and gals at work right now. Fucking rule making fucktards are out to ruin my life. It's prolly cuz I look so damned good. Did I mention that I've lost 41 pounds now? Cuz I have.
Fourth, It was 59 degrees when I woke up this morning and the high was only in the low 80s today with clear, blue skies and tons of mild sunshine. Is it perverse to get a hard on and stain my jeans because of the weather? I think not!
Finally, I told you guys about this song a while ago and posted the lyrics. Here it is if you wanna give it a listen. I don't really play Musical Monday but it kinda fits my mood today. Enjoy ...
