It turns out that, my Bellini was actually a Kuputnik... the stupid Texas lottery didn't like my numbers as much as it liked someone else's numbers.
Eh, oh well, life goes on!


word of the day: Kuputnik - ADV. yid. origin unknown; a cursed job meant to go wrong from the very begining, the absolute worst a job can get..

Bellini

Further Prove that I am an optimist with a skewed perspective:

As many of you already know I was fired from Starbucks, for turning my manager into corporate compliance over un-discussable issues...
... Today I was filling my car up with gas, and I found a scratch-off lotto ticket that she had given to me (and all the other partners) as a Christmas gift; the ticket had been played the day I got it, but never turned in for its $1 prize. Now most people would just turn the ticket in and be happy to have a dollar, but not me, the way I see it this ticket has some major karma.... So I am taking it back to the store and trading it for a $25 million, pick six lotto ticket. It's gonna be my Bellini. Wish me luck!

Bellini = noun. Easy job, a sure bet with a big payoff. - a term used by the thugs in 'Welcome to Collinwood'.

About time

It's funny how a few weeks of not writing anything down can lure you into forgetting the reasons that man first put pen to paper...
I just figured id post this real quick to get back in the habit of updating the page, in other words hopefully once I have posted this I will think about reformatting the page so that it (the page)
a). Fits my current life and its many subtleties
b). Is actually legible

"b)." Being the most important of these reasons
