I was just about ready to say fuck this computer business and hop a ship, until I realized it’d probably take me 6 months of non-stop training to be able to do 9 strict pull-ups like the average Merchant Marine academy candidate.
In my experience it varies a lot based upon the priest. The guy in our parish when I was a younger kid was awesome. Then he retired and we got a bitter, mean-spirited, bible-beater. That really put me off the church. When my brother died a couple months ago I didn’t know what to expect from the new priest, but he was very kind and tried his very best to learn more about him and provide personal insights.
My family has lapsed into Funeral & Wedding Catholicism, but my Methodist future in-laws dragged us to a two hour midnight Christmas concert service this year. Why do people do this to themselves?
Eh. If I hadn’t been broke throughout college I’d probably have more nostalgia. Theme parties, dollar nights, hanging out with friends every single day, and all that was great. Working half-time on top of school plus selling plasma twice a week to afford handle liquor and fast food, not so much.
Other than usually making a mess eating drunk munchies in the kitchen at least one night per visit back home after going to the townie bar, my parents and I have pretty much gotten over all that. If we had more in common and they actually understood what I do for a living they’d probably be more involved and have more to bitch about, but as is, just not mooching off them and keeping a job makes them happy.
We went to Estes Park for the weekend to stay at a B&B (we had a cabin-style duplex). Other than a 15 minute hike Saturday morning and picking up lunch and more liquor, we spent two whole days drinking in the tub next to the fireplace. I’m so glad I didn’t plan anything else.

Any city in Oregon besides Portland.
This series along with Worst Stories does wonders for my self-esteem.
LaCroix doesn’t have calories?
Agreed. A lot of times it’s better to go alone if you’re a huge fan than to go with someone who isn’t one.

Once every couple weeks, but my morning breath has to be horrendous, and if I get up out of bed to brush my teeth the moment is lost.
Yeah, I think she caught on at this point, though.
If they’d just stock Diet Pepsi or Red Bull and a few more household items it’d be heaven.

Regardless of whether the Rockies are playing worth a shit, the party deck at Coors Field is always a phenomenal time.

I am a huge fan of “Drive” and the soundtrack puts me in a happy place.

Todd isn’t going to have any money to lose in the divorce at this rate.
This Coke tastes like Pepsi…
If there are plenty of outlets at the seats or there’s a seat by a wall I’m going to use that rather than draining my portable charger.
