Damn Near Almost Augered In!

The weather, if I may, sucks ass! Driving home today after a series of boring meetings, I nearly lost control of my car and ditched along the Interstate. I wasn't even going that fast. I couldn't! We have a weather advisory, and I take those seriously. And, it was snowing pretty hard as I left work. It is supposed to snow at least a foot... well, almost a foot. Anyway, everything was almost fine (I realized I need new wipers), when I hit a patch and... well... I kept my cool... and, I am home safe and sound. It isn't that interesting of a story, except that back in 1996 when a few friends and I decided to go to Mardi Gras, weather, such as the shit that is falling outside, ditched my car into a tree bush near Farina, IL. I find that rather freaky. AND, Mardi Gras is on Tuesday. It's like an anniversary, and I nearly put my car in a ditch yet again! Bad Karma, folks! Bad Karma! I thought things were going well, too. I found a $20 bill laying next to my car as I was leaving. It was poking out of the snow rather innocent like. I picked it up, and thought, "Maybe the evening won't be so bad!" But, of course, as fate would have it, I was reminded that stupid shit can happen. I also find this rather interesting, because the other day, there was an accident by my exit. I think I mentioned that. So, this could be a message from the old powers that be. "Joe, cars kill!" Thanks, powers that be!

In other news, ................. ummmm...... Jesus! Do I live a boring life. Seriously! My big thing this week was finding a $20 in the snow? No wonder I am bored most of the time! What the hell!?!?!?

I journey North this weekend. I am looking forward to getting out of town. The weather looks rather shotty, but not during the travel times. Ohhh.. big flakes. Look at them fall. Anyway, I head North. First, I conduct some business. As I have mentioned, it is time for phase 2 of my grand plans. That begins this weekend. Then, it is off on a pub crawl with a friend. I haven't crawled nor pubbed in a bit. I don't think a visit to a regular bar is as exciting as a pub crawl. Pub Crawling is about the mission. I am not quite sure what that mission is, besides a different drink in a different locale. BUT, It's a mission. Or, a hunt. Maybe it is more of a hunt. Men and hunting. It's a cultural thing passed down from generation through generation. Some Men actually hunt. I don't. I am not sure about killing animals. So, hunting for me is about finding that perfect pint. I have found many enjoyable pints, but not the real, true perfect one. Okay, that's just silly. Fuck the whole pub crawling with hunting thing. That's just dumb. DUMB. I really don't believe any of that. What was I thinking? Fuck that!

Moving on!

I can't check my blog from work, because the filter blocks out all the bad language. So, my blog is banned. Isn't that funny. My thoughts are not "work safe."

It was weird how that $20 was just on the ground like that. Where did it come from? I know where it is going. I need a $20 for my job fair. Omen? But, there it was, in the snow. It was just waiting for me. I shrieked with joy! It is not often I find money, except the occasional quarter. I felt like a thief too. I looked around as if I was stealing it. Did I steal it? Oh goodness! I am a thief! Great! Catholic guilt! That's all I need.

I determined yesterday that I don't have enough Beatles albums in my collection. Not that you care, but I think I should have a couple more Beatles albums in my collection.

Anyway, I think it is time to prepare for my adventures this weekend. Printing the Resume on deluxe resume paper! How exciting is that? WOO HOO!!! Another moment in the Wacky World of Joe!
