Alright then now that I have gotten this ball rolling I now need to step back and view this crazy creation.....And maybe go to bed. Naw....sleep schmeep, who needs it.
Might as well whittle away what's left of these wee morning hours to rant and rave about nothing in particular.
Something to rant about.......I hate my job. Who doesn't really but I honestly HATE mine, with all full emphasis on hate. I work in a thankless one way dead end job that consists of taking never ending calls from unhappy cellphone customers. The company's name isn't really important since almost all cell phones suck, but the tedious nature of the job is what really kills my spirit. I have had many jobs in my time, however I never hated any one of them as much as I hate this current one. The really sad thing is I've been with this company for nearly 2 years now. In these past 2 years I have had a total wage increase of $0.62. How is that for pathetic.
Why do I stay then, you ask. Well necessity for one, I have unpaid students loans and rent and car insurance etc etc etc. Number two, I'm in an area where options are limited for someone with my work experience and skills. Number three, I have a criminal record that is holding me back from more lucrative opportunities.
Now the criminal record I am stuck with I admittingly brought upon myself, however just because I got caught driving from a bar to a hospital after getting my head bashed in my a steroid monkey meat puppet bouncer and then blew .09 when the legal limit is .08, should not mean I cannot make a decent wage and perhaps be able to eat after all bills are covered. Yes I did take the case to court and yes I did get acquitted of Impaired Driving, however when you are charged with such an offence you are indeed charged with 2 offences....1) Impaired Driving and 2) Operating a motor vehicle with a blood alcohol level higher than 0.08.
Now my nice sweet old $120K/yr salaried judge decided that yes I was right to jump in my car and attempt to help myself by driving to the hospital while pints of blood where squirting out of my face at 1 a.m. on a Sunday night, however I technically was legally drunk and perhaps if the bouncer hadn't managed to get me completely covered in alcohol while using my body as a bulldozer blade thru the crowded bar, I probably would have been escorted to the hospital instead of hand cuffed and tossed into a paddy wagon head first. I was fined and suspended and life has been tough ever since. I cannot land a respectable decent paying job to save me.
My pardon is already in the works but the redtape involved takes a good 18 to 24 months to be completed.....hence the reason I am stuck in my completely crap-tacular job. I will probably post a lot about this place of employment as time goes by.
OK then...something to rave about.....Tom Green. I love his website ......www.tomgreen.com ......he is by far one of the most genuine and honest celebrities out there. He is part of the reason I am starting this blog today. I have been posting on his site regularly...well actually, I just email him and he posts nearly every email I send him, but he has given me the motivation to actually start writing out and publishing out here on the vast internet highway. If you know nothing of this man I would suggest you pick up his book Hollywood Causes Cancer. It is an almost formulaic story of the rise and decline of a small town boy who is plucked from the Great White North and thrown into the youth culture marketing machine by the mass media hype station MTV. It's a good quick read and is written from the heart...and nut for that matter. Anyway.....this website is a true work of internet art in progress because of the amount of time he spends on the site. Where most celebrities use the internet as a shameless self promotional tool and marketing machine for their latest Hollywood blockbuster, Tom uses the site to vent and expose with feelings with everything from his cancer to his love of Rex Murphy, his new parrot.
Well that does it for today I believe.....it is nearly 4 am.
OK....I'll shuddup now......
Cheers
