Frown: Having to do a full day at work despite being on a business trip the last 6 days.

Smile: Read this comment on a Youtube video:

bitch please, you don't need parents in a video game
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Yesterday I had my sister and her girlfriend come over with their dog to play with mine and they had an awesome time and were having a ton of fun together with no fights.

Today was not so good they got into it over a stick and went at pretty hard my sisters dog got two for pads split open and bled pretty bad from when they were getting pulled apart because I was holding on to their dog and they didn't grab my dog by the face only the collar. My dog just has a tiny bit of skin missing from his arm and was a little bloody. I also got a bite to the leg from my dog when I got in between them breaking it up.

But here's a pic from yesterday when they were being nice and doing the same shit they started fighting over. My leg is killing me though.

^hope all three of you make a speedy recovery.

Smile: Noticed something that for over ten years has gone unnoticed.

My beloved copy of NHL 2002 for PS2 has a numbered "Official Licensed NBA Product" hologram sticker on the cover of the jewel case. For some reason I find that funny.

Smile:This is kind of gross. Sometimes my stress gets the best of me, physically. I'm in "perfect health" but my blood pressure can at times go off the charts. Actually, there might not even be a chart that has my levels. I'm usually calm as a cucumber, but if I have a meeting and my sales have dipped a little, I'll puke when I wake up the day of the meeting, or puke just before the meeting starts. I try to relax, but my body won't let me. Frustrating.

And now with my dear Ripley having cancer, my beloved Grandmother dealing with congestive heart failure...I can go on, but I won't...I've developed a new nervous habit: Chomping down on my tongue in my sleep.

It's awful. I wake up from the pain, sometimes spitting blood. On the right side of my tongue, I have what resembles a blood blister from biting on it so often. Plus, it prevents me from getting a decent night of sleep as I wake up a few times a night saying out loud "Fuck that hurt!".

So why would I smile about this? Last night I wore a bright orange shirt, pair of shorts, running shoes and jogged for about an hour before I came home and crashed. No gnawing, chewing, chomping, nor biting of the tongue. I also slept until 9am, which I haven't done in years,

I usually exercise in the morning, but I'm changing my routine. I can't remember the last time I slept so sound and woke up so awake.

^^^ You should see a doctor about that tongue biting, regardless of the running helping. Maybe he can give you a guard to wear in your mouth at night. Better safe than sorry.

Ticked: So I sold my 32x to this guy on ebay. This jackass is arguing with me back and forth saying I sent the wrong cable (model 2 instead of model 1) when he simply doesn't know how in the hell to hook up a 32x. -_- I just had to partially refund him due to his stupidity. How in the world could I have sent the wrong cable if I played the thing on my OWN model 1 Genesis?

@Luke

Fuck man that really sucks about your dog, just soul shattering to get that kind of news. That's the big crux of being a dog owner though... there's little I can say other than keep your head up and just do everything you can for her. I've gone through the same thing and know how horrible it is.

A guard would help if I gnawed on my tongue. I straight up chomp down on the sucker.

True, does suck, but this is life. As long as Ripley doesn't suffer, I'm fine. But yeah, man's best friend and all.

Following up this post from last week w/some final results.

Smile: Didn't get everything done quite in time...took 3 days longer than I had planned (and the beds still aren't fully done...)

Bunk Beds (still need the side rails, ladder, and plywood mattress support) - the staining and finishing took longer than planned...the joint connections are simple, yet need to be pretty precise to all fit and assemble inside the house.
