FRIDAY NIGHT

5:55 PM

Oh goodness. Well, what a day?

It was all right it wasn’t bad didn’t get as much overtime as I thought we would and that made me kind of sad.

I like it because if we get enough overtime, we get an extra break and I like that. Haha

Anyways, um, I thought about going to the gym after work, but I parked in a different spot like at another part of the parking lot.

And uh, I wasn’t anticipating getting off. That early. So,

I thought, well maybe I could go talk to the gym girl but uh I just couldn’t. I just couldn’t bring myself to go in there and do it. I just can’t.

Just can’t do it. I reckon. I’m not ready.

As much as I wish, I could. I just

It’s just I’m not I’m not there yet, yeah. And it’s okay.

I’m also really tired.

But I got a headlight for my car and now it looks normal.

I thought about leaving out again here in a minute and getting food or something.

I’m probably good on another hour.

I’ll probably. Yeah, give it another hour. Probably, by the time I make this post and edit it and publish it. And then I might just fall asleep. I don’t care.

My son has a basketball game in the morning. And I’m going to try to make it to that.

And I don’t know. I’m really tired.

I’m glad to be off work.

1 of my roommates is doing something and I can’t tell where, but it’s loud. I think that’s hammering.

You know, it sounds like hammering.

Into the wall. I wonder what it is.

Got to work on some music.

Later.

I just can’t bring myself to go back out to Rosie’s Cantina but dang, that was some good stuff. Those fajitas. When did I get those? I got last night but I think I got The other ones.

Monday night.

I think.

I don’t know. It all kind of ran together. It might have been last Friday night too. I don’t remember.

Actually, it was, uh,

I think it was Monday night.

I think it was Friday night and Monday night.

And last night.

Because there’s 3 Rosie Cantina. Cups in here. Yeah. So I guess so I, Don’t remember, it’s been a weird week. And the weekend was a 3-day weekend and Rome Georgia. That’s where the kids and I spent most of it and I spent a lot of money.

I’m going to have to save. I have to start saving that was it?

I don’t know, I don’t really have anything to complain about. Yeah, I think I’m going to work on some music just Sit here in my room until I get hungry. Enough to get out and get food. Right. Yeah, something ha. Oh, everybody’s out though, it’s supposed to be that crazy weather. So earlier I had went and got a headlight for my car. And uh, I said that already. I went, I was going to go to the Superstar Market to get like some crap and to use the restroom, but there wasn’t a single parking spot. Anywhere and around that building, there were so many people there. And it was weird and it’s like it’s it’s not supposed to be that bad. It’s like it’s going to rain tomorrow, and it’s supposed to freeze Sunday, but then what it warms right back up, doesn’t it? Doesn’t it?

And I just go to the grocery store. I would just be going for normal shit. Because I could go to the grocery store about 3 times a week. I go to some grocery store, I don’t ever get. More than a few items at a time. I’ll get my lunch for the week which is 4 cans of 4 or 5 cans of SpaghettiOs.

I do have those tournaments. Those 2 males. Tuna meals. Yeah, I have 4 of those in my car.

They sure do. Taste better with chips. Yeah, I mean it’s supposed to get down to 9 degrees Monday. Wow.

Supposed to rain all day tomorrow and Sunday.

It was supposed to get down to 15° Sunday, night and Freeze, everything.

I guess it’s going to be.

Uh, really cold but it warms back up. Tuesday, it’s supposed to, I don’t know, maybe they’re expecting it to freeze and refreeze or some crap, but

Damn, whoever rooted. Roommate. They were just doing something.

Loud downstairs.

Here’s a thing that says, historic storm underway.

Winter storm, with catastrophic South Eyes heavy snow. From Texas to Northeast to affect over 230 million. Definitely,

Spread destructive ass and heavy snow.

Oh yeah, Elm ice, I guess.

Over 34 states.

Wow. A historic. Widespread long-lasting winter storm? Well, just going to blast the South parts of the South with destructive ice. And heavy snow.

The storm will lead to widespread dangerous travel for days and catastrophic ice accumulations in the South. That’s where I am. And then the South It could lead to widespread power outages, and tree damage.

And it’s been named Fern, it’s a winter storm, fern. Hahaha

Wow.

Everybody’s freaking out.

But I’m not going to, uh,

The chance of at least a quarter inch of ice. Wow.

Does that even? That’s not a lot if it was like 3 or 4 inches of ice? Haha.

I don’t know.

Oh, it looks like it’s going to get pretty bad North. It’s going up like a diagonal line and some of it.

Most of it’s going to miss Huntsville though, but then it’s going to hit the shit out of Atlanta.

And what makes a big hump? Over Alabama, kind of and then Dips back down.

Into Georgia. Looks like North Carolina and all that’s going to get it. I don’t know. People are freaking the hell out though. And they do that kind of dumb shit. That’s my point. They just people. It’s like It’s like when, um,

I’ve talked about this before, but it’s like, uh,

When the tornadoes hit in 2011 and uh, North Alabama where I’m from, I mean, it was so bad, right? And power was out for 9 days. People around like the gas stations ran out of gas and so people they were in lines. Yeah, for gas Oh, at the gas stations, people were lined up, 3 and 4 hours. And you could drive 20 minutes up the road to Gadsden and there was like nothing had even happened. There was gas everywhere and no lines for anything. And another time I noticed this and I have I’ve talked about this before, it was the first time the Mega Millions jackpot. Got up to like 500 million dollars. And me and my cousin went to, through Georgia, to get to a generator, uh, at a chicken farm and I was going to stop in and get some lottery tickets and all the gas stations around the interstate were lines like people were waiting a couple of hours in line all the way outside of the gas station around the gas station. People were waiting in line For hours, you could drive 10 minutes up the road. To a gas station. And there was like nothing was there. No lines or anything.

And uh, it’s like those people. I don’t know if it’s just Like, do they not think about that? It’s like, hey, you know, 10 minutes up the road. You don’t have to wait in lines and it’s faster to just drive to a store off. You know? That isn’t so close to the interstate. And get your lottery tickets and come back and get back on the interstate, than it is to stand in line for 2 hours? It was insane and, uh, those 2 instances. In particular have really just stuck with me when uh, people panic. By I guess, you know, they panic

Buy fucking items.

All the milk and the bread and the canned shit. And I don’t have, I have 4 packs of those Tuna things and a can of SpaghettiOs.

And I have some Ramen and I have if I’m just going to starve to death, I have some ravioli but yuck. You know, Chef Boyardee.

Gross. But I have some, if my life depended on it, I could eat it. You know.

Like, but this is only supposed to last, like, a few days if it even gets that bad and people are just packed into the grocery stores. And I’ve heard all kind of crap, and it’s been going on all week. People have just been buying everything up and that’s it.

And uh, Weird because it’s like you really should just not do that. I mean, if we were going to be stranded and everything, That was a pretty graphic. A dramatic description though of that stuff. It was off The Weather Channel. And it might be that bad in other places, but It doesn’t look like it’s going to get that bad here.

It looks like it’s going to be really bad in Tennessee.

And uh, stuff, but it does just kind of lifts up Over Mississippi and Alabama and just hits the shit out of Tennessee and Kentucky. It looks like Arkansas’s going to get it.

They have a lot of snowfall. They’re going to get like 18 inches of snowfall. And fucking Parts, Arkansas and Oklahoma. According to this,

And in like Maryland, yeah, wow.

But uh, There’s like a lot green which is like an inch through 18 inches. Of snowfall. Should I even take a screenshot of it?

But it does, it just it’s kind of funny. It’s like it just skips over all about.

Some.

By Saturday.

Yeah, that’s just funny. It does. I’m going to post the screenshots of it. Skipping right the hell over Alabama. It’s so funny.

It’s like we’ll probably get some uh, rain. We’re going to get a lot of rain out of it and it’s going to get cold but

I don’t know.

It’s not supposed to get oh probably that’s what I should do for the. Um,

If all the stores are fucked up around here, I’ll just drive down to like

Gadsden tomorrow. Nothing ever happens in Gadsden. As far as weather that was so funny. It’s always been so funny about.

Uh, all that shit Gadsden just doesn’t get Crazy weather like Sand Mountain does and Huntsville because Huntsville was all fucked up when those tornadoes happened too because I had um I remember I was in a band. With these dudes and everything was just so messed up. It was like, dang y’all. We can’t have band practice for like, 2 weeks, we didn’t have band practice. What comes of it?

Because of it. Yeah, I don’t know.

That’s what I’ll do. I’ll just go to Walmart and gadgets and tomorrow and gadgets, and tomorrow. Yeah. In Gadsden. Thank you. What the fuck?

But yeah, I know that makes sense to me. It just, it makes me feel really weird and and kind of bad. For people because that’s just

I don’t know, maybe there’s something. I, it’s like, I think about that. So maybe there’s just something I don’t get like, maybe they like the whole just like the situation, you know, of of standing in line, for lottery tickets for 2 hours and be like, yeah, we stood in line for 2 hours for, you know, 15 dollars worth of lottery tickets.

6:17 PM
Uh, yeah.

Maybe that’s the point, right? There’s a life is about the journey, right? Haha

Yeah, I don’t know.

Maybe I’m too like logical minded. I’m an intj. And maybe that’s what is wrong with me. I don’t get the, uh, like, The crap that goes with some things stupid like phenomenal. And you know or like uh, Things that become sensationalized.

Crazes and shit like that. Like the, what’s those? That they sold a bunch of last year? I don’t know how much that changed cuz I was

Working at Target. I think it was well it was towards the end of 2024 the Stanley Cups. We were, uh, I mean, I would pick orders of

60 of these things like all day long, carts full like, You know, 60 items to a cart and they would just be pallets and basically we were taking Uh, the stuff off the pallets and putting them on cart, so they could break them down into individual orders and that was all the same stuff, or it would be like 25 of, uh, 1. You know, kind like 1 color or something and then you know 30 of the of another and 10 of another give or take

And uh,

It was fun because we just got to rack up and we got to see our uh, production percentage, which I never hit 100%. I stayed in the 70s. The 70%. Um but the reason I got hired on that job full time was my attitude, my upbeat engaging fucking attitude. And that I showed up every day and I always volunteered for overtime. And I got as, I mean, 60 hours a week, that’s as much as they can give you and that’s what I did. And that’s why I got hired on full time. I sucked at picking I was like slow, I’d get lost in the aisles and looking through all the crazy items and be like what the fuck people order this?

And uh just all kind of stuff. I have a bunch of pictures of it. Actually I should post some since I don’t work there anymore, just some crazy shit.

And uh I would and then I’d like sometimes I would like hide somewhere and play on my phone for an hour. Nobody cared. Nobody checked anything.

The only thing that made that job suck was after the holidays. They cut out all the overtime instantly and then they cut our hours down. To like 20 hours a week and it made me really really depressed. And that’s 1 of the reasons why my car got repossessed. Last year is because they just instantaneously cut all the fucking extra money and Yeah, that was a lot. Sometimes I would make Fucking $1100 a week. Yeah.

I never hit my production number but that day actually, it was several different days of the Stanley Cups I would hit like a 120% because all the crap was in 1 place and you could just grab it as fast as you could and I had a lot of fun doing that. But that’s the only time I ever hit my production number but yes, and you know fucking shit like that. People just They get all crazy about something. What was the

I’m trying to think it’s so long ago, like You know, like oh. Cabbage Patch Kids or fucking beanie babies or uh, Anything that becomes, you know, a hot, I don’t know.

Hot item. Yeah, and it just lasts for a little bit and then it’s over.

Like fidgets fucking Spinners and shit. And, uh,

Yeah.

That’s another 1, PS.

Pog. Yeah, pogs.

Jesus.

Well anyways, yeah. Oh gosh.

The crazy stuff people do like en Mass you know they’re just like wow.

Black Friday is another example of like Collective shit. I don’t understand. It’s like

Who gives a shit the people fucking do and they live for it.

You want to know something that hasn’t ever made sense to me either. And it makes sense to a lot of people, a whole bunch of people, apparently, is church

That has never made. That never made any sense to me any of it.

But they do it.

They do and I feel weird in churches. I grew up. In churches. I grew up.

Oh, It’s I was like,

Sunday and Sunday, nights and Wednesday nights. And any time there was a Revival, it was all the time. Church all the time. My mom was a gospel musician. And that’s all we did.

That’s all it was.

My entire childhood like 90% of my childhood was church and all that stuff and I was like, no, this makes no sense. To me. The whole time I was there.

Until I was like, I rebelled when I was uh, 14.

It makes me sad to think about, you know, I think about my parents and all the weird shit they did and it makes me sad.

I feel bad for people. It’s pitiful.

But then I do I just think there’s something I don’t

Understand, there’s something about people, I’m, I think, I feel like I miss. I’m missing it. Like, I just, I don’t get it. I don’t

I don’t get. Humanity. Like, The whole like on the whole, the big, Thing. I don’t understand it. People do so much crap. I don’t understand.

And I just named a lot of it, I think off the top of my head,

Or people who like pretend to do stuff instead of doing stuff for real, if they put the effort in to doing something for real, as they do to pretending about it or something, you know, pretending about it.

They could actually be like, It would be better, you know? Liars. People who lie about everything

I know that’s a really broad like,

Thing, but it is though.

And there’s stuff that does make sense like gossip. You know, and like what I’m doing here, but it’s it like making a Blog, right? But it’s like, it makes sense, but it’s retarded. Hahaha It’s like, you know,

Dreams. Having dreams like like at night you know while you’re asleep and the stuff that you dream is so fucking weird, that doesn’t make sense, you know lots of stuff doesn’t make sense to me.

But I guess, uh, this really turned into a long post and I want to do something else. So,

Uh, thank you, please.
