I guess there's many other reasons to spend time writing these. My friend Ayra reads it at least. Apparently, nobody else does. I've shared the link with just a few people, but I've not heard back from any of them, so I imagine that Arya and perhaps the fabled Murph are the only ones reading.
Either way, I got some stuff to bitch about today.....hooooo boy!
So, as stated in an earlier blog, my doggy was sick, so I took him to the vet today. Acutally, in hindsight, I'm glad I did, because I have a lot less (maybe...) to worry about now. What I found out was the huge lump in doggy's mouth has probably been there for a long long time, and I just now noticed it. Which sounds strange, but I really don't spend a lot of time looking at the roof of my dog's mouth.
What I did find out is that doggy's hips are afflicted with arthritis. I knew this already, but vetguy said it was much worse than I thought. Not much I can do except give him supplements and pain pills. Hmmm... My dog is going to be a junkie.
I was afraid (after reading a bunch of stuff online) that he had some sort of mouth tumor, and whipped myself into a stress/freakout/black hole thinking that my dog may die a horrible and wasting death from mouth cancer (the 4th leading cancer dogs have, actually). So, I was freaking out and my lovely and talented and wise wife told me to just knock it off, because it could be anything, and I was just freaking her and me out for no reason.
So, I went to the gym and pummeled myself into emotional equilibrium. (I've found working out is a GREAT way to get rid of my anxiety. I just get so tired that I don't care anymore.)
Anyway, when I got back to the house, the mail had come and my request for an appeal of the denial of my claim for unemployment came. In english, that means I got a time to meet with a judge so he can over-rule the decision made from unemployment to make me pay back all the money they've paid me. For those of you who are not Ayra, somebody sent an "anonymous" complaint to the state saying that I was working while getting unemployment. To make this short, that was wrong, and the state said I needed to pay back all the money I got. I am appealing, and hope to win. You'll know if I do, I'll either bitch about it or gloat here.
ANYWAY, when I was reviewing the information, I found it included a copy of the original "anonymous" complaint. Since this was filed online, it was typed. HOWEVER, the person who filed it accidently put in THEIR zip code instead of MINE. This isn't a reason to get all freaked out, but, GUESS WHAT? The zip code that was in the text was the zip of MY EX-BOSS!!!!
Have you ever put in YOUR zip accidently? I do it all the time. Stupid mistake, asswipe.
So, I thought I knew it was him. But, this proves it. The zip area is VERY small, and he's the ONLY person I know there. So, I'm sure it was him. I wonder if that ass-fuck-smarmy-shitheel knows how much aggravation and stress he has put me through? He probably doesn't.
I was going to add something else here, but I won't. Yep, typed a whole other paragraph here, but decided to remove it. Yep.
So, my bitching is over now. I feel a lot better.
On a positive note, I made up with my friend "Joe". We never really talked about the fight we had. I just didn't speak to him for two weeks, and then, like guy friends do sometimes, just picked up where we left off without making a big deal about it. I was mad. Now, I'm not. Still not forgiving him for missing my skydive though. That's his guilt, now.
Thanks for reading my complaints. If you are reading this, and are not subscribed to this blug, do so now. It would be nice to see if there is anybody listening.

Dude, you're in my RSS reader. And earned a place in me old blogroll, for whatever that's worth (and being a friend of a friend wasn't what did it).
It takes awhile, but you do have some readers.
(As a word of friendly advice from someone who doesn't know what he's talking about: the "mature content" warning may put people off. As far as I can tell, your "mature content" consists of the same ready use of fuck and shit et al. that those of us with "open" blogs engage in. You might want to check around and see if the filter is hurting, and take it down unless, I don't know, you plan on putting up porn in the near future. Just saying.)
The fabled Murph has a sidebar on his bug where he pimps other blugs. Yours is there. He still hasn't put mine back up. I don't know if he's just being a dick or telling himself I'm untrustworthy and may cause him to (gasp) have a broken link on his page.
He only has one follower, according to Blogger's follower system. And it's me. I don't know if he deliberately deletes anyone following him, or if people aren't using the new system.
But he's got quite a readership, if one were to count all the comments he gets. So some of that has to be going your way!
Scott thinks we get a lot of lurkers, but he may just be humoring me.
And I don't trust some of the people who comment on my site. Just how dumb do I have to be to think a chick with the last name of Murphy actually exists?
But if you keep up the Palin hating, you might get some traffic. You might get some death threats, but fuck them, they are stupid.
Take off the adult censorship thing. I took off mine. I write about anything and curse a great deal, yet AdSense still looked at my blog and appoved my account, even though it says that they don't approve of "excessive profanity."
Besides, who cares, it's just blugging anyway!
I'm glad you edited out what I knew you were going to write about your ex-boss. Murph would have given you hell about it. Being a lawyer and all, he can sometimes be very protective of his friends.
He likes your writing by the way.
Hey, and I'm glad your dog is OK. My kitty, the late but great Penny, had arthritis too. They gave her a medicine called Nu-Cat! The name still makes me giggle.
I agree about the content warning.
I read the Blogger terms of use, and figured I had to have a warning too, lest some poor child stumbled upon my site and was blinded. I took it off after a month because it got in the way of lots of programs out there that are made to use with Blogger. I figured Blogger would either warn me, or ban me, or who cares.
And switch off the comment approval. It kind of makes your "I will make fun of you" moot. I'm terrified of what people may say, but I don't have the comment approval on.
I don't know.
I kind of like the "mature content" thing.
It makes me feel as if I'm doing something less than honorable. Maybe that's why I get a little thrill about using it.
Also, I want to write whatever I want freely, and not worry that my madness will attach itself to an unsuspecting minor.
One of the things that really IS important to me is the difference between "adult" things and everything else.
Even If I'm not showing porn, I'm aware that there are parents out there that don't want their kids reading about my drug use. I respect that. The cursing and stuff doesn't fucking matter to me. Shitcuntbitchasscocksuckerpissmotherfuckingpalinmccaindick.
That, and it's a screen that happens all the time online, and anyone who even considers not "viewing" sites that have a warning, can just pass mine by, I don't mind.
I DID change the comment forum stuff, though. Good point, Arya.
Also, Murph, I DID see the RSS link, and I appreciate it. I forgot that you had done that, thanks for the support.
