I'm dead tired from Maiden last night.  I think it was the best Maiden concert I've gone to.  Lots of foreigners who travelled and honestly made it more fun since it wasn't your typical tame American crowd.  The jumping and moshing was great.  I got real close too and juuuuuussttt missed catching Adrian's guitar pick.  The guy who got it (next to me) showed it to me, looked pretty cool.  I was jelly.

Morning peeps
I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Sitting at work trying to wake up. Dreading what's coming after work. Big bowling tournament. I haven't bowled in several months (took the summer off due to wrist issues). Tonight is going to help me decide if I go back to bowling full time or night when my league starts back up. Also, my ex's family is going to be there (drama), and certain members of my current GF's family may be there (there's drama going on in that family). 

I actually don't mind seeing my ex and her family, but my GF and that family have a lot of bad blood (that has nothing to do with me). I actually kind of want to talk to her, as I know she (my ex) is having some medical issues and is going to have to have surgery sometime soon. I'm not supposed to know this, but it's hard to not learn stuff when her best friend is also one of your closest friends :lol

Oh right, work. I just assume everyone is at home on the weekend.
If you both have a mutual close friend, you'd think your ex would have figured you'd know by now.

He used to be really good at keeping my and her personally lives from each other, but I think he's gotten to the point where he doesn't give a shit anymore.


So.. there's this one chick who's a resident here at work. Drop dead gorgeous. Probably one of the most beautiful women I've ever met. I completely melt whenever I see her. Like.. just a simple smile and a wave and that's all it takes. I've known her for 3 years and my brain turns off and my vocal subprocessors malfunction when she stops to talk to me...

Well she just spent 10 minutes chatting with me. I may need to excuse myself and hit the restroom for a couple minutes.  And by a couple I mean a minute. Most of that is clean up time.

Long story short, Dealt with some bullshit.  Was rewarded with a sandwich.

Good Sunday morning DTF.

Jay... not sure if meatloaf is a euphemism for something?

So, what's the deal with Kotowboy.  I've noticed we have't been rewarded for a few weeks with his .... unique ... form of posting.  Is he just a full-time lurker now?

So we took 1st place last night. My ex and her family stormed out of the bowling alley when my name was called. People are  actually calling the results fixed.

The tournament is ran by my GF's Dad's GF. My GF's dad was my partner.

The only way it would be fixed would be putting in an inaccurate average, which would give someone more handicap (or less, depending on how you do it.) Our averages are slightly lower than they were 4 years ago (last time I actively bowled with a lot of these people), but if you look at our official book averages (which are updated annually via the USBC- the governing body, and it's based on the average of our averages for that year. I've only been bowling 1 sanctioned league a year, and my average has been consistently low for 3 years now. It's all information that they all have access to. And our actual scores were witnessed and verified by people bowling around us who have no reason to lie to help us.

They're just being assholes. I tried making conversation with my ex's mother earlier in the evening (she was a mother figure to me at one time) and she blew me off.

One note though- my ex looks just like her mother now. She wears her hair the same way. She wears the same clothes. Hell, her figure has gone to hell as well. I find that amusing.

Made it home after a weekend with Maiden in Brooklyn.  I am so beat.  Had a great time meeting up with Stadler and Axeman before the show.  I'll write up a formal review later, but Bruce essentially took all his clothes off and threw them into the crowd last night since it was the end of the tour.  My buddy almost caught his boot.  That would have made for an awesome souvenir.  It was hiliarious though watching him take his socks and pants off.  He left stage in nothing but his boxers.  :lol

Had there not been a going-away shindig for some friends last night, probably would have joined you guys.

And in the continuing saga of us being suckers for this kind of thing, we're taking on two rescue/foster kittens this afternoon, which will bring us up to 9 kittens that we've rescued.  They're both torties, somewhere 2-4 month range (we haven't met them yet).

We have a Tortie and she is pretty awesome. She'll almost always meow back to you if you speak to her.

My cats not very good with other animals it seems.  I adopted him with another cat, who I had to put down shortly after adoption, but ever since I've had friends bring their pets over, he gets very hostile and unfriendly towards them, very dominant with the house (he smacked a pitbull last week).  Because of that, and that I think one cat is enough for me, I don't think I can adopt another.

Also, Monday morning commutes are starting to really suck.  They are doing bridge work over the weekend between NJ and Staten Island which is causing major headaches on the Sunday night home from the shore drives, that spreads into my home town, but many are now leaving Monday mornings clogging up my commute.  Almost 2 hours to get in this morning taking all back roads.
