i need a vacation

I'm just saying...

If you pitch a cigarette from your car and it hits my car, I think I should be able to shove said cigarette up your nose as far as my fingers will let me. The world is not your ashtray, you stinky bastard.

Broken internal

I talked to a doctor about the nightmares, sleepless nights, and social anxiety I've been experiencing of late. He believes I'm experiencing a form of PTSD.

Fantastic.

Wheel of misfortune

Morale is in the crapper and the chief is to blame. He seems to have made it his point in life to keep his inferiors down via stupid memos and policies that don't affect a single way service is rendered to the public. To put it bluntly, the man is a pompous ass whose over-inflated ego makes him think he's something special and everyone from the deputy chief to the lowly patrolmen aren't fit to grovel at his feet.

We're all dealing with it like any cops would - we make jokes and have bitch fests at shift briefings. I've noticed a lot more comments being made to the effect of "going into the bathroom and painting the walls red," "adding more lead to a person's diet," and even hopes of "choking on one's lunch" than usual. I've even made a few myself. I admit, a few times I was half serious. I'm not sure about the other guys. We're miserable; but we're miserable together.

One thing I know for sure, if this were combat, someone would've rolled a frag into the executive shitter by now.

LTJ writes songs about me

Lame.

I changed the music.

There is a ton going on, but I can't talk about any of it. Anonymity is a bitch.

Oh well, back to my beer. Cheers.

If it weren't for bad luck...

I wouldn't have any at all. At least it sure seems that way sometimes. I guess it could always be worse.

Anyway, I didn't get a chance to see Southland until well after the season premiere. It was good, but I took issue with the scene where the officer fires his weapon and the partner puts out a shots fired/officer needs assistance call. One unit responded to help them? C'mon. The only other problem I saw was the foot pursuit at the end of the episode. Why does Hollywood always have one cop run on foot while the other speeds away in the car to try to cut them off? That doesn't happen! If one cop is out running, so is the partner.

Oh, well. It's still entertaining I suppose.

Hmmm

Still no Southland disc.

*shrug*

Alone in the crowd

Apologies for the lack of updates. I've been stuck in my own head the past week or so and while it's not a complete bad thing, it's certainly not conducive to productivity.

It's all I want!

Graveyard shift

Apparently, people think it's very weird that I like to park and sit in cemeteries when things get boring on the midnight shift. I don't see why. I think they're just wussies. It's so peaceful, especially when there's no other humans around. Plus, I dig the historical aspect.

Occasionally, I'll get out and walk around. Rarely I'll find a homeless person camped out. I say rarely because most of them must be scared of the graveyards too.

SAMCRO

I know I shouldn't like a show that glorifies the OMG lifestyle but it's so damn good.

I'm bubbling over

I need a vacation. The shit's getting to be a bit too much. I'm going to put in for a few days on my next shift.

Spring...Er, late summer cleaning

I've finally gotten around to tidying up a bit around here, cleaning up the links and some HTML. Trust me it was long over due and for whatever reason, I was motivated this evening.

I've also changed the music in the sidebar player to two great fight songs. Picture yourself in a full blown bar brawl - what songs would you hear playing in the background?

Lean on me

I can't tell you how thankful I am to have non-law enforcement friends that allow me to lean on them when I need to. Because I'm feeling a little burned out, I figured I'd dig this thing up again.

Soundtrack of your life

Here's how it works:
1. Open your library (iTunes, Winamp, Zune, Media Player, iPod, etc)
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie - just go with the flow.
7. Right click the links and open them in a new window/tab to hear the songs & stay on this page.

How to clay bar your car

I just finished using the clay on the muscle car this afternoon. It's all snug under the car cover awaiting the wax tomorrow.

Bad day

Normally I can take the edge off of a bad day with a little of my favorite music. It's not working today. Off to hit the bottle a while.

Crazy magnet

It is a full moon or something? I've dealt with loonies, but today was ridiculous!
