no steam shovel

Well yesterday sure was a grab bag of emotions and confusion…

Where do I begin? I began the day with a dash of frustration and about two teaspoons of guilt and anger each. I had tried breaking into Apartment 2’s wifi for a good few hours the evening before, to no avail, and some hardware I had bought specifically for the job neither worked on my Mac, or wanted my Mac to work.

Money wasted.

Money, come to find out, I didn’t have, as I was a good $6 in the hole, even after a $200 check. So thats no good. As it turns out, NSF (No Sufficient Funds) fees can pile up quick. In total, I think I was responsible for about $40 (these were a few really small checks), and the NSF fees accounted for almost $180 of debt. Thats absurd, and to top it off, despite waking to a formidable blizzard, my Approaches to Literature teacher decided she wanted to hold the only class of the day… So there’s your frustration and anger, all balled up inside of my first few hours of the day.

Luckily the rest of the day went considerably better. Including obnoxious balloons, flowers, chocolates, bottles of water, chocolate syrup, lace and American Idol… Not all in that particular order. Read on…

Is it odd that the best part of the day only takes up a few sentences, but the worst of it goes on for a few paragraphs of so? Meh. It was quite enjoyable though, I got mad brownie points for finding the largest and most Seuss-like of all Valentines Day balloons, and the Water, well, you may think it was for the flower, but it was actually to drink, straight up. Or on the rocks. Either way…

I really can’t get into the rest of it, except to say that Am-Idol is an entirely pointless and amusingly waste of time… Besides that, use your imagination.

I was surprised, however, to hear about a Holiday I had never known about before. “International Steak and Blow-Job Day?” Its pretty self-explanatory, I think. March 14th I believe. Sort of, the male response to Valentines day, which I TOTALLY disagree with.

Valentines Day isn’t simply a holiday for women, despite what marketing is leading us to believe. Valentines day is a day for couples to feel god about being a couple. You know, get all sappy and the like. It isn’t simply a day for flower, chocolates, diamond rings and candle lit dinners. Of course, if thats what you end up doing, that great, but it’s not a requisite, and it isn’t all on the guy’s shoulders. It should be on both to make it the “International Day of Sap,” and if a portion of that international day of sap is to include Steak and Blow-Jobs, by all means, let it. I don’t see any reason why you both can’t get down on all fours to make it even-steven.

Its a good holiday, have fun with it. Laugh, smile, hug, hold hands, make out and make love. I personally wish we had a few more holidays along the same sort of lines.

So, despite its rocky beginnings, all in all, yesterday was pretty grade-A, hope you all had a god one as well.
