Moving, Marley, Thievery and the Cubs

Hey y'all

Okay, done bitching about dreading moving! Although it will still cause quite literal pain in my back (thought I was gonna say ass didn't you?!), and the move is a hassle and a half, I now now that it will indeed be happening. Aren't they gonna be in for a shock though! While I made an appearance there earlier today (as to avoid being home when the new potential renter was looking at all my stuff), I discovered that I will be living with an incessant matchmaker. Although I did start telling her that I am not down with the one night stand, or really even flings for that matter, it's not gonna stop. It seems that in my absence, operation "Get Dave a girlfriend (aka: Get Dave laid)" has commenced. Silly them I say! All I know is I don't get along well with people trying to hook me up with random unknown women all the time. I will let that be known, and should soft words of discouragement be listened to with deaf ears, I will try to keep the subtle and suppressed rage in check... Me getting upset about things? Um, yes, yes I do. One of a few faults I have. I may be a proponent of paying it forward, though without expectation or want of personal gain. I also don't like people telling me what I need.

Okay, going back a few hours... After departing my future home I drove to my office to see just how long it's gong to take to get there in the morning. Having added time for the sake of knowing there is always more traffic on weekday morning, than say on a beautiful Saturday mid afternoon. It should be about 40 minutes, which isn't that bad, considering it takes me about 30 minutes to get there currently. Going from an 11 mile trip, to a 24 mile trip at that!

After leaving the office, I headed back home. Arriving, I found my bedroom door open, the ceiling fan on in the dining area, the interior bathroom door open, and clumps of Marley's hair in random spots. I can only assume that he let his presence be known in the company of total strangers, and he was rewarded with heavy petting for his braveness. All I know is whoever it was left with his hair all over them. Plainly they weren't allergic (phew!). Marley is such an attention whore. Also, none of my items were missing, yay! I know, I know, most people aren't thieves or cleptos. I still concern myself over such things though. The most odd thing ever stolen from me, was a tape adapter for a discman I owned in Oshkosh. My Sister's fiance at the time sold me his old car, for $1, may he rest in peace. The drivers side window had a tendency to fall off its track at random times. One morning I got into my car, and noticed the adapter was gone. About $23 in change, a nice(r) wrist watch, the discman, and everything else was still there though! Ha, talk about crimes of necessity!

Well I'm done for today. I hope everyone is having a good weekend! I found out an old acquaintance is going through a bit of a rough patch, and though she probably doesn't read this, I'd still like to extend my good wishes to Theresa. Okay then, off to other things!

Peace out y'all! Oh, and the Cubs came back in the bottom of the 9th, and won!!!!! I was singing Go Cubs Go quite loudly, and got some funny looks from the neighborhood kids as I drove past them :) Now it's your turn to sing something as loud as you can!!!!

THIS IS THE SONG THAT NEVER ENDS! IT JUST GOES ON AND ON, MY FRIEND! SOME PEOPLE STARTED SINGING IT NOT KNOWING WHAT IT WAS, AND THEY'LL CONTINUE SINGING IT FOREVER JUST BECAUSE THIS IS THE SONG THAT NEVER ENDS...
