A Year of Songs Challenge

I saw this thing called 52-Week Song Challenge.  They give you a question about a song once per week and you name yours.  Self-explainatory, pretty simple.  Starting with question for...

Week One:  A song that reminds you of Summer.

I don't know why but this song has always reminded me of Summer.  Its an excellent driving-the-car-with-the-top-down song:

The Holidays Have Went to SHIT!

Every year the Christmas season moves further and further back on the calendar. Its really beginning to piss me off!  Now the decorations and Christmas commercial crap starts in October...the beginning of October!  Hello?  Can we fricking enjoy Halloween first?  Then of course give Thanksgiving its due respect?  

I think I may have to become the Christmas Decoration Grinch...starting next year. Don't get me wrong, I love the holidays and I love decorating. I just get a hair across my ass when people start decorating BEFORE Thanksgiving! No lights, No decorations and certainly NO TREE before Thanksgiving! I'm okay with putting that stuff up on Thanksgiving night.

Speaking of Thanksgiving night; all the farkin' stores are going to be open. WTH? Makes my head want to explode! Black Friday is Black Friday! Not Thanksgiving. Ya won't catch my ass out in that mess. Nope, don't have the patience for it.

The holidays are more commercial now and it pisses me off. Sure, I LOVE buying gifts for my family and friends. Actually it gives me such a natural high to be able to do that. Unfortunately I won't be able to this year due to my unemployment status. Some people will understand, some won't. With the latter, its all about what you get for them. That used to bother me, now it doesn't. Those folks can booger-off! That's not what the holidays are about!

OSU - Michigan Week!

It is officially OSU-Michigan week!  Let the pranks and jokes begin!

(I must admit though, I am quite worried about this year's game)

Walking In A Winter-Wonderland

Still haven't gotten Weiland's Christmas album but here's the first single/video from it.

SERIOUS Lack of Personal Hygiene.

A grown man, 41 years old-should not have to be told to shower!

It used to embarrass me that The Boyfriend has a chronic problem taking a frigging shower on a regular basis.  Now, it just disgusts me!

I found this short description which hits the nail on the head where The Boyfriend is concerned.

Self-Centered. A person who neither cares about the effect their lack of hygiene has on the people around them nor cares about how others perceive them to be indicates a very stubborn and self-centered personality. They do what they want, when they want, and how they want, regardless of what other people say.

I have tried everything with him.  Being nice, dropping hints, harassing him about it, being a bitch about it.  Nothing works!  I used to keep track and there have been times where he has only showered once in 4-6 weeks.  ONCE!  Its utterly disgusting, nasty and I don't even want to be around him.  For a couple of years he wasn't sleeping in the bed because of it.  I told him that its fucking nasty and I didn't want him to get my sheets and blankets filthy.  He had been sleeping the in reclining chair until last week.  He's having back problems and apparently the bed feels better.  I don't see how.  The damn thing is older than dirt & shot to hell!  Forget about a sex life.  Definitely NOT attracted with him like this...quite the opposite.

He had been getting a bit better about showering more often.  Now its usually once a week.  Who knows how long that will last though.  Plus, its still disgusting!  A grown man with a physically demanding job needs to shower more than once a damn week!  His hair and scalp is so nasty!  He gets rashes here and there and I'm convinced its some kind of bacteria from lack of hygiene.

Oh, and by the way...it is 11/11/11...pretty trippy 'eh?  :P

Relationships!

I saw this little quote the other day & it really hit a nerve with me.  I am tired of trying with The Boyfriend.  We've been together over eight years and it has progressively gotten worse each year.  Especially in the last couple of years.  His is not going to change.  And I cannot live with the issues that he refuses to work on, change or even compromise.  Hell, most of the time he won't even fucking acknowledge the issues.  Or, he will but then either say nothing or change the subject. 

I was going to create a separate blog to write about this.  I need a place to vent about it.  Its really not necessary for me to create another blog devoted to my relationship problems with The Boyfriend.  He doesn't even read this blog.  Even if he did, he wouldn't bring any of this up to me.  And he sure as hell wouldn't do anything to change.  He hasn't changed in eight years and he ain't going to.

I'm not sure when I will be able to leave-hopefully sooner rather than later.  It really depends on me finding a job that pays enough for me to support myself.  Plus then there's the issue of me going back to school.  I was going to go for my RN but I'm thinking about changing it back to LPN.  Worst case scenario; I would graduate sooner and be able to get a job that would pay enough.  

I dunno, who knows what I'll end up doing with the degree situation.  I'm sure I'll change my mind several more times.

Back To Skool

Btw, I'm not a moron.  I do know how to spell 'school,' just being a goofy ass.

I went and finished my admission requirements at COTC and registered for Winter quarter classes.  I have to admit, credit for that would have to go to The Boyfriend.  He pretty much pushed me into going and getting it done.  I definitely wanted to go back, I just couldn't get my ass in gear to go take care of it.  (Doesn't exactly help matters when I don't have a CAR!)

I'm taking 9 credit hours.  I kind of need to ease back into this.  Taking a computer class-which seems pretty simple.  Its only 1 credit but it is required for graduation.  Also taking Cultural Diversity-which sounds interesting.  And last but not least...Intermediate Algebra.  Oh Happy Day!  This will be quite interesting to see if I can manage to pass that class with anything better than a C-.  Let's hope!  I would like to keep my GPA at least above 3.0.  Algebra and Chemistry has always given me fits!  I'm not a stupid person but I swear to god I think I have learning issues when it comes to those.  English, Writing, Nursing, Humanities, Sociology, Psychology...I'm a whiz.  Algebra and Chemistry...I'm a moron!  The quarter starts January 3rd, two months from today.
