It dawned on me as I was walking through Target that I had not worn my Italia shirt that I had intended to. But that's ok. I will be changing into tennis clothes before too long. Got 2 copies of the Target exclusive of Pinochio. Happy to find them mint with no spiderwraps attached.

What to do for lunch today? Roundtable buffet...or Golden Corral?! I love Golden Corral!

That's the shirt that I meant to wear.

Nice pecs. The Golden Corral here closed, guessing due to the horrid management team there. Time to eat dinner for early lunch and finish getting ready for work.

You can squeeze them for a quarter

But Golden Corral is da bomb. Hometown Buffet is good but GC is off da heezy fo sheezy! I actually don't know if I'll eat at either. My local RT has a buffet in the evening on Tuesdays and it's nice because you get an extra half hour. It's 5pm-8pm and the regular lunch buffet is 11:30am-1pm

We need to start a gofundme page for Batman and Kip. Now, I'm not suggesting that they're looking for handouts but these things seem to be so popular nowadays. I think we need to get one for Batman so he can go to the Boston marathon. I do realize he would need to qualify first but as long as he keeps taking his PED's, I'm sure he'll do fine

And for Kip, we need to get some money collected up so he can take a trip out to LA for maybe a month or so just to see if he would actually like living there. Assuming these would be very successful, we can then start ones for other members as well

Seriously I don't see why not. What was it about that guy that collected $35,000 to make potato salad Yes, you think of these things and raising money for people that are in desperate need of it but there ain't nothing wrong with wanting a new truck. I honestly would do a video for one if I had more charisma.

I don't know about traveling economically but that seems like at least $10G.

Kip could fund himself if he didn't go to the movies so much.

This is so hipster for the sake of being hipster. The article goes on to talk about not being able to stop checking his Twitter feed every few minutes and how this breaks that habit. Someone has a serious addiction of they can't keep the cell phone away and need to go to a dumb phone just to stop it. I was pretty hard into Twitter until I realized how vile it is....I deactivated it and haven't looked back.

I get some people like and still use dumb phones. However going back to one just because you can't stop checking your phone shows you have a real issue.

Imagine if texting had come before voice calls, texting would be a lot less common.

I'm not so sure. Texting fits in with the current social media-esc way people are. It allows you to have the conversation at your pace. I know when I get a call I almost immediately wonder why. Only people I actually actively call is the wife and parents. I feel texting would've won out over voice calls regardless of what came first. However that is pure speculation on my part though.

Texting definitely is a more detected way of leading life. The fact the most people talk over words on a screen and are friends on a website it all feels more detached.

Detached and yes, I kinda agree. Then again I am antisocial and I have terrible hearing.

With the millions+ possibly billions of decent books out there, one would think there wouldn't be much room for film remakes and reboots. I read a 160pg graphic novel the other day that would give Mad Max a run for its money, and that was just some random purchase on Amazon.

Stress and more stress. I haven't checked in with my probation in probably over two months. I was supposed to start a 52-week domestic violence course by now but I haven't. I'm surprised they haven't sent local PD to my door looking for me. Amazing how relaxed I can be when I'm in a pretty bad way.

But I am happy to have just watched a cute video my mom posted on FB. I think it might have been from Europe but I'm not sure. Apparently a mother duck lost a couple chicks down a storm drain and she was pacing and sitting where the drain was. It was near a busy road. Someone, they might have been police, rescued them and put them back with their mother and it was so cute.
There was another video, like one of the ones they suggest, and it's of an alligator or croc and it looks like he's about to come up and snatch this cat. I don't think that's what really happens though. I haven't started watching it yet.

we got another dish guy at work Last Friday, well today he was supposed to come in at 12 to open up he didn't show up. I had to find out from my friend who closes that the guy just upped and quit. OMG really you get paid 9.50 an hour, 40 hours a week and health insurance and you say the job is too hard. The other guy that works with me only works 20 hours a week when I try to be nice and give him some hours he *****es and complains about it. He has a newborn he is trying to provide for but doesn't want to work WTF??
