this is where we come to bitch about life right?

the car accident saga continues. the two jobs that i was supposed to be starting this week both require a car so i'm out of work again.

i'm entirely broke and now broken too. my head's pounding and i have a mild concussion... i don't think i'd be up to any job interviews at the moment. i'm going to a doctor this week about the whiplash.

on top of the $0 i have, i'll probably get a ticket. everything i've heard so far says it's going to be my fault 100% because i was turning left when i got hit. nevermind the fact that they entered the intersection illegally (the light was either red or tail end of a long yellow which is also illegal to enter on) and were speeding. they have already lied twice in their statement claiming they were going under 20 km/h (HA: my car was essentially still when we hit and both cars were totalled, there's being squished by about a third... yeah right under 20 km/h) and they claimed that i entered the intersection on a red. that just doesn't make any sense at all, if i had a red then they had a red: we were going opposite directions on the same road.

well, at least you don't live in fear of superstorms. they are predicting one tomorrow here. Theres also an angry, rain wrapped squall line the size of California barreling down into western Missouri right now that's disrupting radar.

i used to really, really love midwestern/plains style thunderstorms.

They seem really bad lately. Obviously it is a message from God.

We haven't seen much bad weather this year. The worst I've seen so far is a strong rain.

Can't he just text his messages like everybody else.

Damn, Touraccuracy, that really sucks! Sorry to hear the bad news.
Not a good year in any way for anybody.

definitely a suck fucking year, and i have a job. '09-'11 has really sucked in general. '05-'06 was bad ass, before that sucked. ironically, the most enjoyable part of '06 i was partially unemployed.

2008 was my bad year. My brother's suicide then the loss of my job one month later. Things have been going uphill since. Now I can avoid a tornado today that would be awesome as well.

rockyi · #9 Posted **May 25, 2011, 10:02 PM**

While things aren't great for me at the moment, mostly job problems (supervisor from hell), it's not as bad as my stretch of crap luck from
July '09 - Dec '10..... but we also have tornado warnings at the moment so my luck COULD go bad again........YIPPEE!!!

I'm hoping my shitty period stays at one month. May has been pretty brutal, but it seems like things are getting back to normal quite fast. I'd say things are even better than they were last year. Sure, my girlfriend left me, but we still talk most days and she is definitely one of my best friends, so if I compare now to before I met her, now is better. She still plans on visiting me here, and I will probably visit her next year sometime.

Insurance should cover most of what was taken from my house, so the only thing lost there is time spent replacing everything (especially if my CDs are gone, rockyi would know what that's like).

I'm pretty much out of money now, which is new for me, but I think I have a solid plan to make a fair bit next summer. I'll just have to be very thrifty over the next year, which I've never had a problem doing (other than travel, I don't really spend much).

So yeah, it seems like this rough patch won't really be all that rough after all. I probably don't have to worry about tornadoes (even though AB is technically a part of 'Tornado Alley'), and while my relationship with Raquel has changed, it is still there, and still a great one.

You should move to the US so that so many aspects of your life become unstable again that you start up a gourmet hot dog stand with shorter lines than hot dougs but in portland or seattle.

Hey I don't give me that "love it or leave it" shit, i'm going to drop my used up hybrid rustbelt/murder belt card again.

When aren't I having a bad year?

Cleveland Brown · #13 Posted **May 26, 2011, 12:56 AM**

2009 was the worst of the worst for me. I started the first week of the year on the operating room table and it went down hill from then, especially with the death of the only grandmother I ever knew (my paternal grandparents died before my parents even met).

Strange Meat · #14 Posted **May 26, 2011, 8:30 AM**

I had a shitty 7 years or so. No big deal.

Strange Meat · #15 Posted **May 26, 2011, 8:31 PM**

The last 11 or so pages in the Pueblo thread have been amazing.

Well it turns out whoever broke into my place is a dumbass. My CDs are still under my bed.

So they rummaged through all the empty drawers in every bedroom but didn't think to look under the beds where they would have found about $5000 worth of music.

Would you say that they are so dumb, they are really dumb, for real?

Its been out west long enough, especially in pissant isolated little towns and places like the Inland Empire and Phoenix (where its mostly boring suburbia as far as the eye can see). In a lot of these areas, what else is there to do for entertainment?
