Happy Lovey Dovey Day

---

Hey, I had a lovely Valentine's, and I didn't eat any chocolate... The migraine that would have caused... shudder

what a miserble fucking day!starting at 630 am I was shoveling snow so that Julz could get to work, it took 3 hours to dig my truck out! Got her to work then went to do my moms driveway and sidewalk, a few hours more on a shovel and try6ing to clear the ice that plows throw into a driveway, then return home to finish my won walkways and gutters...Total for the day? 7 1/2 fucking hours on a shovel, and 2 on a big ass snow blower stuck in 1st gear since anything faster and it rode over the top of it all and wouldnt scrape down to the sidewalk. When I got home the plows and finally fucking done my road, but a shitty job of it and plowed all the shti back into my driveway! some more shoveling to get in the driveway then finish the walks and dig out the mailbox and a place on the street to put the trash for pick up! Here however is the best part, 17 fucking inches of snow! plus drift from the high winds all night and morning!Fuck oh dear, I have 31" tires on my truck and a 2 inch lift, all I could see was a big white hump with an antenna sticking out!my house faces south and when I got up and went to see how bad it was after hearing on the early news that the schools were closed I opened the front door to look outside, it had blown up to the fucking door all night and I had a 6 foot high pile of snow thta collapsed into the front room then had to get dressed and wade out to find the shovel thats at the bottom of the stairs and unveil the hand rails and steps, it took an hour to uncover the stairs and dig to the truck let alone dig the bastard out.A few years ago I did 50 miles through the high uintas, starting on the highland trail head and coming out past rocky sea pass and down brown ducks pass and ending at moon lake, 50 fucking miles in 3 days with much of it spent at 12000 feet or above and starting at about 7000 feet in the parking lot, up and down and up and down, in 3 days that whole distance, THAT is the last time i hurt this fucking bad.a miserable fucking day, and god damned cold as well, the only good part was Julie getting home and crawling into bed with me on a heated mattress pad to watch TV for a few hours before bed.I actually enjoyed laying there NOT moving as much as the sex that followed. Glad that fucking day is over, I hope to never repeat it, 17" OF NEW SNOW, and drifts 6 feet deep and in the middle of the yard where it had nothing to pile up against, fucking 25"s of god damned snow!Now a cold front so this morning is 8 degrees with the wind chill, 3 fucking degrees. Much more of this shit and Ill commit suicide to escape it.

Coniser moving my ass, it was considered and approved, Now ya got the hook up for me to make it happen? line me up with a job near seattle so I can stay in the puget sound or someplace near woodland where I have friends and a house I can afford and Im gone!

I am a coffee elitist! I also have Rainere, and Hood close by, the ocean and the pacific trail, fantastic parks and long boarding on the streets (city luge!) in portland for weekend trips. Iv had earthquakes where I am, and floods, and even once a fucking tornado a few years ago that destroy downtown salt lake city.I can deal with rain, you dont have to shovel rain! and really, ever been there? It rains nearly damned daily, but normally in the mornigs, after that the fog clears out and its beautiful, and thats not true around the puget sound, lots of nice weather there and winters in the 60s, if your hardcore you could drive a motorcycle year round there.

suicide is only half a joke, I really am fucking depresed in the winter and find it hard to get through it, some shit I think its called SADs, has to do with sunlight, and all this fucking snow. I fully intend to move but not for another year, I have one son who lives with his mother, hell be 18 in september and graduate next spring, i cant move till thats done, unless something really great comes up something I cant pass up,outside of a fantastic too good to walk away from job offer that would set me up for life, I gotta wait till he finishes school before I can leave.last week we had 2 days of sun and temps into the mid 40s, that sun made all the difference and the 40s felt warm, its the best Id felt since november when the sun disapeared.

If Im out an about I like starbucks, its always the same no matter what one I goto and always good, but far from the greatest.There is 2 local shops that have great coffee, and I buy the house blends from both of them add a teaspoon of cinnamon to about 2 lbs of the beans and grind them all together and keep them in a vacuum bag in the freezer when not brewing them.Iv never found a single place that has the greatest coffee in the world, but joannas java hut in my home town, thats good shit and prolly the best Iv had from a shop.I have a great coffee pot with no carafe just a reservoir to hold the coffee and it dispenses directly to my cup, and a espresso machine and milk steamer, I take coffee very seriously, its my biggest vice since I quit drinking booze, well aside from the smokes it is.

You would loooooove Venezuelan coffee. It's a hidden treasure because it is never exported into the US, you have to personally know a Venezuelan But since it is located between Colombia and Brasil with Jamaica not oo far north, well you can figure it out.When my stepdad discovered how good it is he bought kilos of beans and stores them in the freezer. To this day it looks like cocaine in his freezer the way he wrapped them up so tight.

Venezuelan coffee and communion wafers sounds like a good combination to me.

Maybe that should be the theme for our next party. We're always looking for excuses to showcase our Triad Bar and Grill.

I may have to try some of that. You go me all horny for coffee now.

I absolutely hate Valentines Day.
And it didn't help that the high school has this thing where anyone can send a gift to a kid in school and they'll call your name over the intercom to come get your gift from your boyfriend/girlfriend/parents/uncles/secret admirer. So I'm in my office trying to talk to kids and every five minutes they're busting in with a list of names of lucky kids to come get they're crap.

Not only was it incredibly disruptive to the entire educational process (not to mention the therapeutic process) but it was yet another way for some kids to publicly get a lot while other kids publicly get squat. But that's the nature of the holiday, no?

Man...am I a bitter fuddy-duddy or what?!?

a guy from there has been a good friend of mine for about 14 years, the bastard cant great me coffee though, but his wife (A white girl born and raised here in the US) does cook some kick ass dishes though!

Ha! You are lucky you don't live in Ohio then. We get to celebrate Sweetest Day in a few months.

actually I think the sweetest day is march 14th, steak and blow job day! the mans equivalent to the womans cards and candy day in february.

ahh yes, it's a fine fine day to be sure!steak and blowjob day (also known as St Unsupervised's Day)
