Things that don't suck so much

We've been busting our balls (not literally, of course...) in the front yard this week, to the point where I can now refer to it as the front GARDEN, WITHOUT MISNOMER!
Woo!
Hehe.
I'm probably being pretty lame about it, but I'm really excited about the whole thing: it's going to look so good!
Ok ok. Ok.
...
...ok.

So firstly, a while back now, we pruned the tree. And I mean PRUNED!
I cut everything off that tree. Every little sprout, branch, stem and bud. Also, several of the larger limbs, too! It's now a bare frame, primed for shaping when the new season's growth comes in later this year.
We copped a bunch of attitude from our dictatorial neighbouring tenants who seem to think they're gods, but it was worth it. It's going to look great when the flowers and fruits come in and we prune the whole thing to a purposeful shape!
Then, we dug all the horrible, cat-poo-infested bark chips out of the "garden", and "got rid of them"... "somehow..."
THEN... we dug pavers out of the backyard where they were being used to make a messy, horrible looking section for a garden which hadn't existed in years, except as a weed and spider infested disaster area. We used these pavers to build a lovely, curving wall down the middle of the front yard area, dividing between where we would like our grass and where we would like our plants.
Then we bought top soil and compost. We've bought lots of little plants and we've even planted them! (Which is, I suppose, what you do with plants...) We've landscaped the entire (20 sqm) patch, including 3 pop-up sprinklers and a paved walking area! When our grass arrives next tuesday, our garden will be almost complete! Just a few brightly coloured flowers to go and we're set!

So we're very excited. We can't wait for our hard work to be finished and everything ready to be enjoyed. :-)

Yay!

Comments!!!

It just feels to me like I'm writing to MYSELF when NO ONE COMMENTS!!! COME ON NOW! I opened my stupid comments section up to anyone... so COMMENT!

I only even WRITE for comment... otherwise... I probably wouldn't even BOTHER! *cries*

Oh... and for those of you who wish to point out the irony that I never comment on any of YOUR blogs... well... that's because I never READ them! Because your thoughts are BORING!

So... yeah... you can see how you suck and I rule.

Thank you for your time.

P.S - COMMENT!

P.P.S - JERKS!!!

P.P.P.S - a frikkin' TWELVE guage! Whaddya THINK?!

I hate censorship...

To ___ and ____ ________,

I am writing to address a problem I feel very strongly about.
A very good friend of mine, _____ is suffering quite badly from ______ due to your ______ and _______ ________, and I feel that no one else will tell you about it.

So, it's down to me.

Basically, you are ______ ______ and ______ _______ which causes other people to ______ your ______ and in turn _______.

But what makes it so much worse is that when you _____, and then you force others to ______ their own _____, it then creates a situation where we all end up ______ our ____ and even our very ______.

When no one is allowed to ______ or even _____ their _____ then we live in a _______ ________, and this is something I personally will not stand for.

Please cease and decist.

Yours _______.

things that suck

a) I'm not going to see Zakk Wylde play tomorrow night. This sucks because Zakk Wylde is my second favourite guitarist in the world. It also sucks because Zakk Wylde is an awesome guy, too: regardless of guitar- awesomeness, and I would have loved just to check out his on stage 'tude.

b) The REASON for (a).

No money.

I hate being broke!

And I've LOOKED for jobs. The problem is that I'm only applying for really GOOD jobs, so I've had very little response. Which is discouraging...

c) a,b,c... layouts. I'm over this one. Time to rant "freestyle"

I've been applying for really rewarding and, while not HIGH paying, certainly not LOW paying jobs, and the thing that sucks MONKEY COCK about this is that I am MORE THAN FUCKING QUALIFIED for them, but I don't hear back AT ALL! Then I go along to places where I've applied and I am served by a complete MORON who makes a complete BALLS UP of the task at hand, whereas I, having applied for their job but not received the training for it, can ALREADY SEE HOW TO DO IT AND COULD MANAGE IT PERFECTLY WELL!

And instead, I'm sitting at home tomorrow, NOT WATCHING a guitar LEGEND SHREDDING HIS DRUNKEN FINGERS OFF AND SCREAMING OBSCENETIES AT ME! And 'why?' you ask? WHY?!

Because... umm... stuff... wait, what was I talking about?

Johnnie and cola is quite nice, you know...

Man, I can even put in classy and subtle product placements! I bet you didn't even NOTICE me slip that one in! It's like I just had SEX with you! YOU DIDN'T NOTICE!

Wait... erm... hmm...

Ahh I don't have the energy for this tonight. I'm really only posting because Alex asked me too and I felt flattered.

I'm tired... I'm tired of all the bullshit I seem to have to go through just to live. I want peace in my home, I want a nice little garden, with a nice little house... I want a nice yard for Oscar to dig up... I don't want to have to go to court over previous rental properties where I was royally fucked in the ass, or to have to look up my rights when harassed by neighbours, or to try to get my friends to pay their bills and debts... I don't want to have to worry about a bad credit rating over bills I didn't make... I don't want to have to stress over trying to stand up for my rights and still try to be a good friend... I'm sick of people trying to scam the system, cheating, lying and exploiting everything they can just to get a few extra dollars. I've had enough. I now know that I have to write everything down: who I spoke to, when, what about and what the result was. I need records and receipts for everything, all so that IF I HAVE TO GO TO COURT I will have some CONCRETE EVIDENCE and things will work out.

I am so over it all.

And what do YOU want to take from me?

I'll tell you now, I won't give it to you. I've had enough. I've given enough. I'm not letting anything go ever again without the biggest fight you've ever had.

Fuck you.

Just for you, Alex.

Yeah so I've got absolutely nothing to say.

BUT... when someone pulls me aside with the SPECIFIC PURPOSE of REQUESTING that I BLOG MORE... well... I've just gotta come through for that person.

Just the kinda guy I am...

*thinks even more highly of self for a moment*

ahh... yeah... that's what I'm talkin' about...

so... uhh... where was I?

That's right - my point was that I am easily flattered, and flattered I was when told that I have (in my own words, of course) a "fan".

With me, flattery will get you EVERYWHERE!

And just to completely FAIL to return the good feeling, I shall now finish my post.

:-)
