Hello.
I recently bought two Bettas at Wal-Mart. Bettas are fish, for those of you lucky enough to have a real life. I feel bad though because they are listless as hell. I named them Frank and Dean as in Sinatra and Martin respectively. You can’t put them in the same tank because they will kill each other. Kind of like pit bulls only there is no chance that one of them will chew my face off.
I only know about fish because I managed the fish department at Wal-Mart a while back. That is not a lie and God knows I wish it was. I was Joel the fish department manager. It was funny when I quit Wal-Mart because my boss was an ass. He was cheating on his wife and she was a sweetheart and they had just had a kid. He told me once that he was going to lunch with his girlfriend and that if his wife came by to lie to her. As I cannot abide cheating and wasn’t a huge fan of his, I totally busted him. His wife showed up and asked where he was. I told him he was eating lunch with some girl. She was pissed, but as far as I know they are still together. Women. When I quit I just didn’t show up for two weeks. He had to take all the live fish orders. When I did show up to turn in my vest he yelled at me and told me I could never work at a Wal-Mart again. Oh well. I did see him a few months afterwards stocking milk at a Buchanan’s in Moore. I laughed and laughed at him.
There was another boss at Wal-Mart I had who was a huge moron too. One day we were in the back receiving area and there were twenty foot high stacks of dog food that I had to climb on to get something off of the top shelf. Because he was lazy I had to throw the bags down to where he was standing and hope that they landed the way I wanted them to. After fifteen minutes of that he said, “Throw me a bag of dog food. Hurry!” I wondered what the cause of this new work ethic was and it was because his boss was coming. When his boss walked up he noticed I had climbed up on top the stacks of dog food. He yelled at me and then my boss yelled at me too and said he had told me to get down but I wouldn’t listen. Great. My boss’ boss walks off and my boss tells me to hurry up and that he’s done helping me. I was pissed. He bent over and I chucked a fifty pound bag of dog food on him. Apparently fifty pounds of dog food from twenty feet up can hurt one’s back. Lesson learned. The other lesson learned? Don’t cross me mofoes lest I be throwin some dog food on that ass yo!
That boss ended up getting moved from the store I was at because he was caught on camera sleeping with the overnight receiving manager on a pallet of cat litter. He was married with a couple of kids. That’s good stuff right there.
When I left I took a scanning gun and logged in under my manager’s name and went through the store and ordered the maximum amount of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and plastic forks and knives. I found out a month after I did that they got three trucks full of Reese’s and two trucks of plastic forks and knives. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. I love me sometimes.
So I bought some fish. Yeah. That’s the story.
Someone recently sent me a link to something that blew my mind. It has to do with 9-11 so get ready to be really angry. You have to watch it with an open mind. That’s all I will say about it. It is a long clip but well worth watching. You’re not really working anyway otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this right now. Here is the link.

Get ready to be amazed. It’s not a good type of amazing either. It’s more of an ‘I can’t believe this’ type of amazing. I would like to know what you think of it, whoever is reading this.
RIGHT NOW
SONG- Heaven by DJ Sammy - This song makes me think of The Pub. I had the best times at that club. I really miss it. I had one of the best birthdays there and it wasn’t even a party for me. Just something else to remind of how inept I am when it comes to women. So yeah. The Pub.
MOVIE - Red Eye with Rachel McAdams. I like her a lot because she seems to be smart when it comes to roles she chooses. It was nice to see her play an independent woman who wasn’t all hung up over some guy in this movie.
GOAL FOR TOMORROW - To write more interesting things.
Holla.
