Climbing Out

I haven't been able to get my head together for a decent journal entry in a long while now. Every now and then life just piles on the problems until they culminate in one great big giant clusterfuck. Brenda lost her job, I got fucked by my job, Debra got put on involuntary hiatus by her job at the worst possible time. Danny's...

R.I.P. - Merrill "Skippy" Clifton White 2/28/36 - 6/12/06

Today a great man passed away. He wasn't famous. He wasn't rich. He was just one of the finest examples of a real man I've ever know. He was holierthancow's father and he was like a father to me. He was kind and generous. He was hard working and responsible. He had only one arm...

Getting everything has been a lot costlier than I expected, though, so it looks like we're going to be rent fucked for throwing this party....

Too Hot In Hell

So I went to The Masquerade for 80s Night with Debra and Brian last night. Hell was as hot as its namesake and my beers were getting warm by the time I could take a few swigs. There was also some couple that were having some sort of unpleasant thing as the girl was crying and the guy was holding her...

Check Arrived

There's nothing like a $571 check to lower your stress levels significantly. Debra's school check finally arrived and though it was significantly smaller than we were expecting it means I'm not going to be digging through the couch cushions trying to finance the The Gemini Wonder Twins Birthday Bash, which is just three days away. We might even be able to pay...
