drv control

Not sure who is controlling who here. I got a drv so that I would not miss any of my favorite shows while I was at college, work or studying. Now, I am unemployed and I have graduated. I had a lot of time on my hands, so much time that I found tons of shows that I wanted to record and save for later to watch. Then I got busy. My shows added up and I was running out of room to record more shows. I needed to watch the shows or delete them. Though I was extremely tired, I spent the last few days staying up until 3am or so watching the shows. The drv was supposed to make me more free and allow me to go about my life without worrying about missing shows. Now I am missing life to watch my shows.

buy me love

Figured it out today. My brother is trying to buy his son's love. My brother makes me mad a lot but this recent thing really makes me mad. My other nephew had a birthday but there was no present from my brother (this other nephew's uncle). Bro claimed he had no money for a present. So, a few days later, my nephew (my bro's son) is at my house, being babysat. Bro comes to pick his son up. Bro brings $30 worth of brand new toys. This sets me off but I say nothing. What the ***** is that about? How dare my bro get so much for his kid for no good reason when he has a nephew going without a birthday present. If said nephew (the bday boy) was my son, I don't think I'd ever forgive my bro. That is just uncalled for. You can't claim poverty and then spend money for no reason. So, anyway....the reason my bro spends money on his son is that he feels guilty for having a job (which he needs to support his son). I understand this guilt because I had it for a year after getting my dog. I think the guilt is bigger with a kid though. I still don't think that means Bro's son gets tons of toys (for no reason) and nephew goes without. How about spending some of that $30 on the birthday boy? Conclusion: Sometimes Bro is a big freakin' jerk. Other conclusion: Sharing feelings on here is nice and helps a bit but I think I'd have felt better if I got to scream at bro at least a little bit.

Say Anything

Lots of free time lately so I thought I'd use some of my time writing a blog. Who knows maybe I like it? This blog will be about a variety of things, mostly random and unimportant. I will try to keep it fun but I am not know for my sense of humor so if it's not fun for you, remember this: no one is making you read it.


Three words I use to describe me: organized, honest, opinionated.

Three words other people might use to describe me: anal, rude, stubborn.

Seems like the same three words to me, mine just sound better.


Right now, I want to talk about the last word I used, opinionated (after all, that's the fun one). I have opinions about everything, from parenting to food to clothes to how to spell a word or name. My opinions do a lot of things but most often they get me in trouble (oh well), cause fights (too bad) or create problems (yup). They also don't change (not much). In an attempt to stop all the troubles my opinions get me into (their fault-not mine), I am going to use my extra energy to put my opinions here instead of out in the real world. Figured, this can be a little experiment to try and see if my life gets easier without so many of my opinions causing trouble. Think it will work? Sound too good to be true? Who knows but I am going to find out.
