Puppy Surgery

My dog is my child. Best Friend. Pain in the ass. All rolled into one. And today he's at the vet's office getting his first surgery to remove a lump from his leg that contains a few cancer cells. A routine surgery from what I am told. But the stress is killing me. First of all he gave me the eyes of death. Worse than the "you're leaving" eyes. Even more worse than the "you forgot to give me a treat when I did something cute" eyes. Right at this moment at noon he should be coming out of anisthesia or still sleeping. A stoned puppy awaits me later this afternoon with a few stitches and a nice lamp shade for his head (necessary so he doesn't lick or nibble at the stitches). I'm normally writing my blog with him at my feet hoping that I'm going to drop something in his direction. So let us all hope that he'll be back to normal, free of cancer in a few weeks doing tunnels under everyone's legs regardless of heigh, looking for food and giving the eyes again.

Threw a Brick Through a Window (UPDATED!!)

No not the U2 song. Although it was a nice title to use for this entry.

No it's more about how one act of idiocy can set off a mess of events for someone else. As you can probably gather from the title some no talent, ass clown decided to hurl a boulder (this rock was large enough to go through any type of glass) through my passenger window last night while I was pleasantly enjoying Kevin Milllar's walk off homer last night. The shitheads (names not used to protect the incompetent) stole probably a little over a dollar in change and my messenger bag with my scheduling book, binder, and my apartment keys.

Now one act has caused the following:
1) Time wasted getting the window replaced.
2) Money needed to cover the replacement (insurance thing).
3) Stress over key loss (not to mention sleep deprivation from not having my keys on me).
4) Payment to landlord for replacement of roughly three locks and having the keys duplicated.
5) Purchase of a new bag, scheduler, and binder.
6) Paranoia of another occurrence.

What did the assholes get? Nothing. Probably the exertion of throwing the rock. One thing. But as David R. said karma will get them.

"Instant karma's gonna get him, if I don't get him first." U2, God Part II

Monday Musings

2U,

Monday. Grey. Cool. Yes the sea was angry that day my friends. Then again all of the weekend was the same with more rain involved. It did make for a very dreary weekend indeed. However sometimes a good weekend inside to reflect on things works in your favor.

Friday night Gregg P. and I went to see a U2 cover band called 2U. Get it? The symetry is amazing. Great cover band with a lead singer who has un uncanny resemblance to Bono. Great set list. I mean how can you not really get into a U2 show. Even if it's 2U. Either way I got a great buzz, lost my voice for a bit the next day, and Gregg got the digits from the red haired girl. Bastard. Hope she has friends.

Just wanted to make a comment about Saturday's basketball game with the Celtics and the Pacers. It was a game 7. GAME 7!!! No one showed up. Been better off just getting the Boston Bruins to play them. Give the hockey players something to do cause the Celtics sure didn't do shit...

And due to popular demand I have to let you all know that I am rejoining the work force. Part time. But rejoining it none the less. I'll be doing market research down in the old port. Calling people already signed up and getting some information. Things are starting to look up on that front. Now for a full time gig.

Like new music? Try out The Bravery, The Bravery. Kinda like Stellastar* and The Killers. Cool retro rock. Fun. Energetic.
