The dream is over...........

So yesterday I had to go back to being a fully employed "productive" member to society. The dream is over, the king has given up his throw.

In honor of the end of summer:

Wait for it...........

It's official b**ches!!!




That's right! As of 2 minutes from now, I will be unemplyed until September 2nd! Suck it!

Pass

SO this weekend in Milwaukee is the "unofficial kick off of Summer," with RiverSplash down at the Milwaukee River. The paper had articles all week and the news previewed it all week, pushing that it is a great event for the whole family. It is free, it's downtown, and there are fun things to do with local music. Need I remember what happened down there last year. SOmeone got shot and other shots were fired in an area with a couple thousand people per block. The article says that it was so busy down there that it took over an hour to walk two blocks. No thank you.

I refused to go to RiverSplash before that, and definetely refuse to go after that. What do they expect to happen when they have a free festival in downtown Milwaukee where alcohol flows? This is Milwaukee, of course someone is going to be shot. It's sick how all week they are tauting it as a safe, fun time for the whole family.

After the first night they even had to have an article in the paper that everything went fine, nothing stupid happened. Last night was Friday so it first started at 5, today it goes all day and it might rain, alcohol + music + bad weather + all day = something stupid. Sign me up.

On Friday a lot of people asked me at work if I was going to RIverSplash, and I told them all "no." They followed by asking why? "It's a fun time, especially for a young guy like you?" Fun? Fun? If I want to have a fun time I will buy a bottle of scotch, go into my basement, and throw bottles against the wall.

Fake Bake

So I went to Brewers' game yesterday and it was a good time (despite the company). Before the game we tailgated outside for about 2 hours. I didn't think much of it at the time, but I burned the s**t out of myself. I really didn't even notice until I was getting ready to go to sleep at night. This morning my skin on my arms and face were red as a lobster. It turns out it burns quite a bit as well. I ended up put some cortizone cream on my arms and face throughout the day. It just kept reminding me of that scene from Silence of the Lambs.



An interesting side note: Buffalo Bill was played by Ted Levine in an incredibly disturbing role. Then about 12 years later he began his role as the lead detective on Monk. These couldn't be two more opposite roles. You would never guess it is the same actor only 12 years apart.

It's over.....

It's seems like just yesterday that I was blogging about being on 3 month summer vacation. But unfortunately starting tomorrow at 8:35 am I am once again a full-time employee and a "productive" member of society. The Dream is gone.

That's right b**ches!

It's that time again!




You have to love seasonal employment.
See you at the beach.

Welcome Summer, please have a seat

Whenever I question why Mother Nature is Dead to Me she comes in with a roar again. Once again here in Wisconsin we had no Spring. We went from Winter and having temperatures in the 40s to temps in the 80 in a week.

We have also been getting the wrath of Mother Nature in terms of storms. Its down poured the past 3 days and I just checked the 10-day forecast and there is 50% chance of thunderstorms EVERYDAY. WTF? We also had tornado warnings all day yesterday, and many parts of the city had the tornado horns go off, making people go to the basement of wherever they were (I was at work). Today, I'm sitting here trying to enjoy a baseball game on Fox and we have been interrupted by local weather 4 times, and currently some idiot meteorologist has been talking for 15 minutes and put up tornado warnings for all of the area until 8 PM, and its only 3 PM.
