Shipping Vendetta

So as Jay and everyone predicted, I got my ass handed to me on a plate of pity. That's the straight truth. You would think that it would be so damn simple to roll a ball down a lane that isn't even 30 yards long, but I guess not. I think John and I dominated the most when we bowled in each other's lanes. From the opposite side of the ball return. Domination.

So here-in starts the personal war, a vendetta if you will, against those slackers over at DHL shipping. Backstory. I ordered a puzzle one week ago. They had charged about $8 for shipping, which is pathetic, and said that the puzzle would take 8 days to get to my door. So Monday morning I start tracking my order, and to my surprise, it was in Fargo! So I'm thinking that I will get to enjoy the product that I purchased a little early. Fuck No! Here it is Thursday afternoon and I'm about ready to burn something down. The building is within 20 minutes of me at the absolute longest drving time and under the worst conditions and the very maximum. What are these lazy shriners doing with my puzzle? If I knew it was going to be this bad, I would have driven to the factory myself, picked it up, not paid the shipping, and left a mildly angry letter with a receptionist. BUT NO! When I get done with school today (which is too long) I am stopping at Happy Harry's Bottle Shop, buying a case of beer, going home and sitting on my front steps (despite the rain, I don't give a shit) and waiting for the lucky delivery man who gets to bring me my package.

I will never buy anything from anyone if I know they are shipping with DHL and I suggest everyone do the same.

One time I bought tickets on Ticketmaster so they send me stuff constantly. I usually check it out even though Ticketmaster is a tad over-priced. Turns out Hellogoodbye is coming to Playmakers on May 16th. I am so excited about this I almost shit. It is like an end-of-the-school-year-present just for me. The only downfall that I can forsee is the snotty, punk-ass, underage, dumb-asses that will surely be there. Looks like I will be drinking the $8 beers and enjoying a lofted view.

I can't wait to start golfing.

So turns out I have to take one more class than usual because you need 37 credits of 300-400 level classes. Each class is 3 credits. You do the math. 37/3 doesn't work out so you end up having to take 1 more credit. Jews. Cool.

On top of that, I have decided to take Anatomy this summer. I can't wait. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 12:00 to 1:30pm for 4 weeks straight as soon as school gets out. This will be a true test for me because when I know there is a beautifully green golf course awaiting my presence, it will be quite difficult to study let alone actually learn anything. I have heard that the summer classes are a little bit easier, so let us all cross our fingers and hope for the best.

I just found out I am sitting in on a computer class during class time. I guess the teacher was making jokes about me when I was listening to my iPod. What a yatch.

My metal mouth is coming along nicely these days. I have completed 9 months out of 16, so it is almost over. I'm excited. I'm thinking about having a party after it is all over and I get my braces off. I will serve food that is high in sugar and bad for your teeth. Then I will invite all my friends with horrible teeth to make me feel better. That will show them all.

I'm reading Labyrinth by Kate Moses right now. Despite the jumping story and slightly slow plot, it is becoming quite a read. The story really started to pick up when Alice got knocked out after learning the secrets from her father. Speaking of books, the cover for the final Harry Potter book has been released and I couldn't be happier. I am also sad at the same time because it is like the end of an era. So like all things it too must end.

It is almost Easter and I can't wait to get out of town again. We are going out to Dickinson again and it will be the first time that I actually hit up both sides of the family and cash in on all the good food. Plus it was 75 degrees out there last Sunday and I was the dumbass who didn't bring his golf clubs with. All I can say is that I won't make the same mistake twice. O yeah and Dad get ready cause it's gonna be a battle.

Well that's about all for now.
I'm off. Boycott DHL (those gypsies)
