A whole new level of wrong

Apparently you can buy gift cards online for SIMON malls and outlets. You can personalize these gift cards as well. If you can't come up with your own ideas well, they have some preselected messages for you to choose from. I will list the choices for you... you tell me which one just kind of screams inappropriate for gift card personal messages:

A Job Well Done
Allowance
Best Wishes
Congratulations
From Santa Claus
Gas Money
Gay Lover
Good Luck
Great Job
Happy Anniversary
Happy Birthday
Happy Hanukkah
Happy Holidays
Hit Stretch Goal
Housewarming Gift
Mazel Tov
Merry Christmas
Shopping Spree
Wedding Present
Welcome Home

If you don't believe me, go look for yourself!

Why in gods name is it THAT specific? Couldn't the message of "Lover" suffice? Even that, seems inappropriate for a gift card message. Where are Wife or Husband or Girlfriend or Boyfriend or even Mistress?

Blackstone River and the Mortal Kombat Death Trap!

I had a dream last night, and I remember alot of it!

It starts out with my brother and I walking around this broken down mill-ish kind of area. There is a large river with bridges, docks and mills (this same area has appeared in my dreams before, it always seems to be along the Blackstone River). There was a group of kids jumping off a bridge into the Blackstone River. I freaked out because the Blackstone River was supposed to be heavily polluted, Brett informed me that this part is ok to swim in. How he knew, I dunno. So he suggested that we go to a more shallow area that everyone goes to go swimming. We turn around and walk toward the corner of this warehouse/factory type place and we stop at what appears to be the edge of a former swimming hole. The bank was all dried out and crusty. In the deeper area toward the building I noticed there were a large amount of knife-y spike things like in Mortal Kombat when you die and get thrown over the edge. I immediately scolded Brett and we decided to go to Tresa's house. I arrive at Tresa's house (Brett disappeared) and there are quite a few people there. Everyone is trashed and Tresa is taking pictures of nude people. The photos though, they were blurred so you couldn't make out finer details. Then somehow the dream transitions to me being the passenger in a truck of a friend...(I see him often enough) and we were making out. Then, finally I woke up to my pitiful kitty meowing and scratching to get into te bedroom.

So, to recap:
-Crazy abandoned polluted factory area
-Shitty dried out swimming hole with Mortal Kombat death spikes
-Tresa's crazy new hobby of nude photography
-Making out with a friend in his vehicle

I really wish dreams had clearer messages because I really don't know what this is telling me... Stay away from polluted dried out spikey swimming holes at abandoned factories where friends will try to photograph you nude and make out with you?

Sounds fun to me...

Quit Fucking Whining

Boo hoo hoo it's gonna snow... If you live within' 20 minutes of your job, I don't wanna hear your sob stories. There is NOTHING more aggravating then hearing people who live close to work complain about their commute in the snow. No one stops to think about who they are complaining to, it falls on deaf ears with me and frankly, I don't feel bad for you. Granted, I hate commuting in the snow, people are stupid and it does suck for everyone. However, you won't hear me complain more than usual about it and if it is a snow day you sure as hell better get to work before me because if you don't you look like a jackass!

I drive from 495 in Franklin all the way down 95 through Providence and then hop on 195 for a final destination of route 6 in East Providence. That is a shitty commute on any day it usually takes me 45-60 minutes on a good day. When it snows though it is a completely different story. If I am lucky with the conditions it will be a 60-90 commute, I won't even comment on worse conditions. But when you call out and you live 10 minutes away... I am gonna wanna get in my car drive the 20 minutes to get to your house(remember it is snowing) and pick your sorry-lame ass up. If I have to sit here and be miserable then SO DO YOU!
