What Has Been Going On

I generally don't do this kind of post, because I'm pretty sure no one cares about my boring-ass life. I'm not keeping friends and family up to date, because other than a few exceptions I haven't told anyone about this site. But this is a place for me to piss and moan about pretty much everything, and to keep track of just what the hell I spend all my time on, other than stealing music and downloading porn over my new cable internet connection.

First, just a thanks to those who stop by. I don't have a clue who most of you are, or how the hell you found this skank blog, but it is gratifying to see some gradual growth in the number of unique visits each day. Even better is the small group of masochists who seem to hit this place on a daily basis. While I have no illusions of becoming the next Jerry Pournelle (who receives more hits per second than I do in a month) or even Jason Mulgrew, it's nice to know I'm not shouting in a completely empty theater.

The last couple of weeks have been crazy as hell. Last week, N was getting ready for a trip to Europe. It didn't matter that we had been planning for a month, the last week was still just a crazy-busy push to get all the last minute shit taken care of. I managed to log a grand total of 24 hours at work for the entire week. I figured getting her on the plane would let things calm down. No way in hell that was going to happen. I've had an endless stream of people wanting to take me out to lunch, a garage sale to get shit ready for, doctor appointments, jockeying cars in and out of garages (and spending shit loads of money in the process), moving, packing, unpacking, re-packing, blah, blah, blah. Next week isn't looking any better. I have another doctor appointment Monday, N comes back late Monday night, I have surgery on Tuesday, and N's brother is coming up from North Carolina on a bus. Once he is here, we start packing up N again to move down to North Carolina to live with her brothers and her mom. Can you believe that shit? I guess I can just skip sleeping for the next couple weeks. The sad part is, I haven't even had time to listen to all my stolen music or watch all my porn.

OK, I'll stop bitching about my life and go back to bitching about religion and politics. I just wanted to have something to refer to when June roles around next week and I ask myself, "What the fuck happened to the month of May?"
