Take the word "Fun" and replace it with "Hell" and it's a little more accurate.
Money I have in the bank: $1,036.00
Money I owe (like TODAY):
Rent: $500.00
Student Loans (past due): $250.00
Centerpoint Energy (waaay past due): $230.00
Xcel (past due): ??? I'm gonna pay $50.00 (it's closer to $450.00)
$1036.00
-
$1030.00
$6.00
Luckily for me my auto-bill payments for car insurance and other student loans have already cleared for the month, as has my obligatory $100.00 credit card payment (just in time, if I hadn't paid it yesterday I would have maxed out when my interest went through today).
Next paycheck: Is cut 8/5 and will arrive by 8/10 and hopefully clear by 8/11.
Fault: Entirely my own.
My check card purchases in the past week include:
Coffee - 4 times
Food - 8 times
Alcohol - 4 times
Food & Alcohol - 3 times
Misc - 3 times
Gas - 2 times
(19/24 purchases involve eating/drinking...out of control).
Moral: Please don't invite me to do anything that costs anything the next two weeks (unless your Sam - then you're paying for it).
I really hope my mom doesn't read this.

BOTW...a little late
So my district manager has been in town the past few days at work, and I'm a little behind on the blog. Many of you learned what I've been up to the past few days at work (stereotyping the city of Minneapolis) and you got to experience my marketing skillz first hand. "Hipster, Hipster, Hipster, Hipster, Burbanite, Hipster, Mainstream (Urban), Hipster, Hipster." Suckerz.
I digress. Here are the nominees for this week's Blog of the Week:
Tucker Jaymes gets me every time with his Inspirations...
She self-nominated herself last night and I couldn't agree more. More posts than 1 week could handle!
He's warned us - a sexually frustrated man may be moving back to the MPLS:
Damian has had a nice set of pics up this week...fun to look at.
How could this not be on here??? I mean - Evil Bong 2 - that shit is just genius.
This is a friend of Louisa's. I've looked at his blog every so often and each time I want to meet him and have him make me food. Always beautiful photos, explanations of the process, and usually some funny commentary.
Not only were there a TON of photos on her blog this week, they were AMAZING (Hall and Oates alone could have won it for her).
Congratulations to the one and only WEEZE for the gold medal this week.
(NYC pics (day 4) coming tonight).

So what did you do this weekend?
Photo diary of this weekend in full effect. Took 213 pictures of the movie Thrashin' and you're going to see about 40 of them (if you don't get bored). That's what happens when you drink lots of coffee, lots of beers, and lots of Jameson and then go see Thrashin' at midnight with a bunch of awesome friends.
First of all, this babe came into town for a wedding and that means we got to kick it. Never enough.
Sam and I got to the shop and got to see baby daddy with his charge.
Wizard and I walking to Uptown Theatre from CC Club. You should always ask bartenders you know for Jameson Gingerales...they forget the gingerale.
Nasty Nesser:
This dude took a break from the farm and hooked up with a babe. Come kick it with us more dude, that kind of shit always happens.
Two times one day:
Favorites:
More Favorites:
Then the BEST PSA EVER came on. I wish I had been videotaping so I could share with you the thrash metal anthem about not videotaping movies at the theatre. Cartoons screaming metal PSAs are soooo the rage:
Then the best fucking skate flick from 1986 came on:
It's a pretty simple story, but in case you haven't seen this gem you're going to get the breakdown. Two rival "skate gangs" in one town that isn't big enough for the two of them. Daggers and Ramp Locals.
Corey Webster (Josh Brolin) is our hero. Tommy Hook is the fucking bad leader of the Daggers. His sister is Chrissy and she's a fox. He's dating velvet and she's a fox too.
"Breaking is a memory"
This is Hook. He's a fuckin maniac (from Indiana).
This is Corey, he's from the Valley.
Virginal Babe Chrissy. If you dressed up like Chrissy last night please let me know, my roomate is interested in impregnating you.
True love fucking connection:
and then, in 1986, every dude watching this movie got a boner when they saw Chrissy fucking rip on Corey's board.
Busted! Hook knows Chrissy hung out with a dude and he's pissed. Theory: he's not only abusive, but he'd like to bone her.
Chrissy is defensive and pissed (she doesn't want to bone Hook (HER BROTHER)). Just a theory.
This is Velvet, Hook's girl - she kinda looks like Winehouse, but hotter.
There's a contest:
These are Corey's friends, ready to cheer him on:
These are the Daggers (in case you don't get it, these dudes hate Corey)
Shit! The Daggers throw jacks in the pool when Corey's skating! Not only do the paramedics and the judges not notice this, Corey doesn't mention it. Possible motive for staying quiet about the sabotage = he's a pussy.
After he gets hurt this sucker talks to him about getting sponsored.
Big fat dudes who don't skate wanted to make money and rip skateboarders off in the 80's too!
Corey sneaks over to the Dagger's crib and gets Chrissy to come on a secret date where they eat 13 gallons of ice cream.
Neither one of them gets sick, so they decide to do it:
Hook is PISSED so the Daggers torch the Ramp Locals vert ramp. Dicks.
Then Corey yells at Chrissy. Dude, it's not her fault her brother is a turd.
Then there's a weird late-night fight and Corey almost gets burned alive or some shit by Hook. Cops come. Everyone runs.
In case you're wondering, Chrissy's with the Daggers (the film is really subtle about shit like that):
Chrissy decides to leave town before the big downhill contest cause she's pissed at Corey and Hook. Then she decides she's not pissed and she hitches her way back. Look at that leg out (what a slut).
Hook is prepping for the downhill with some shitty gear. This scene is almost as funny as the one where he asks Chrissy which earring he should wear out and says, "Come on Chrissy, this stuff is important to me!"
The big race!
Chrissy's there!
Corey Wins! The world makes perfect sense and Corey is our fucking hero!!!
He and Chrissy do it some more, she gets pregnant, and his board sponsor falls through because of ankle injuries he can't recover from and he misses all the demos. Chrissy runs away with the Red Hot Chili Peppers (who are in the movie but I didn't get a picture of) and she and the baby are never heard from again. Velvet changes her name to Amy Winehouse, does a bunch of coke, and starts to look rugged. Hook dies. The End.
Then we drove home:
Sunday. Tucker and I met Jen, Katie, Tina and Arthur at Isles Buns and then went to Lake of the Isles. Kicked it outside, concepted video games for Katie and generally enjoyed the awesome weather. I got sunburnt.
Went to Louisa's new crib (which rules) and had a waterballoon "hot potato" fight. Yes!
At Caffetto with the roomie...wasting my life on the internet.
