"No one...
No one in this world can you trust...
Not men...
Not women...
Not beasts...
(pointing to sword)
This you can trust."
Conan the Barbarian
It's days like this that remind me why I have adopted the title of "Vengeful man". I am painfully reminded that there is no honor left in this world. That we live in a festering sewer of rats.
Our landlady called today and told us the house has been sold. We have 30 days to find some place new. An offer has been made and accepted despite our standing agreement. Who can you trust anymore when the spectre of money and greed hangs over our heads. We are a doomed race and a damned society.

Well, today I had my first day of "work" in over 9 months. Basically, the director of MCTV had me come to the studio and help him shoot, edit and produce two shows. I got to play cameraman and editor. I took to the video editing software right away and impressed him by adding the opening title and the closing credits to the 1 hour show. My boss in a nice guy and I think I'll get along with him well. It's funny calling him boss because I have not been officially hired yet. The board meets next month and makes their decision. Anyway, I think my "boss" gave me his seal of approval... he granted me unrestricted access to the stations website and online programming guide. :-)
It's been a few days since I went paintballing and I'm really missing it. Bubba has been taking too many days off of work and another guy, we'll call him the weasel, had his car break down. Hopefully this weekend I'll get a chance to "burst some paint".
Found out something interesting the other day. I ran into the director of the kids little league/tee ball. He says next year we'll be able to sign up ALL the kids for teeball and softball. That includes my son who is turning 5 in November!! Now, I thoroughly enjoy watching my girls play sports. But, to see my son take the field will be interesting. He is ready too. It will also be awesome to have my two oldest girls play softball. Of all the "baseball" type sports out there I enjoy watching girls softball the best. It'll be a dream come true to see both of my girls playing on the same team.

Oh the cruel ironies of life and fate...
I have long hoped for a game of computer solitaire where I finish the game in the first shuffle and obtain a nearly perfect score. Today I did such a thing... But, when I went to check my score I found that my kids turned of the scoring option. I can only guess the final tally of my first 700+ game. I'm never playing solitaire again.
In other news... last week we went to see a comedian at the local Indian casino. We showed up 30 mins late to see Ron White from the "Blue Collar Comedy Tour". Ends up the ticket clerk told about 60 people that the show started at 7:30pm instead of 7pm. So, we are getting free tickets to see Bill Engvald in October. Anyway, the show was great, Ron White was hilarious. He told a lot of new jokes and a few old ones from the Comedy Tour CD. We had a great time.
Over the weekend we went to the Carnival here in our home town. We ended up getting swindled by a fast talking Carnie and didn't have enough money left to ride any rides. So, we ate some delicious curly fries and listened a bit to the music. While I was there I met the director of MCTV. We spoke a bit about the job I applied for and he invited me to a production session this week. He is a very nice guy and I think he really wants to hire me. However, the ultimate decision is up to the board and they aren't making a decision until next month.
Lastly, I finally got tagged good in paintball. Up until yesterday I never had a hit that left a bruise. However, I got blindsided by my buddy Bubba. Basically, I was stalking him in the brush for a good 100 yards. Then, I lost him and thought he was hiking around a pile of logs. So, I moved into position to ambush him when he came out and he nailed me. Ends up he was still sitting in the brush. You live and learn... Next time I will be more patient. Patience is what has allowed me to avoid getting shot so far. But, I'll get Bubba next time we go out. I have a 21" sniper barrel on my marker now!!
