Our High School Mascot

The high school i went to was never run by the smartest bunch of individuals… I’m wondering if the class of  ‘61 pulled one over on the administration.  This is the actual Mascot from my high school, from an angle that my communication skills teacher pointed out to me.  I don’t think i ever laughed so hard in my life- and i never forgot about Mr. Bivens for showing me that. A couple years ago i went back to my High school to swipe a couple pix of the statue again. here’s what im talkin about.

Our High School Mascot

FACT: the “wiener” is actually a thumb on the Matador’s left hand.  Do you think they did this on purpose when they were making it? or is was my communication skills teacher a perv?

The End…

I got laid off last night- i actually thought i might survive these cuts a little longer, but they didnt seem to happy about cutting me loose, which made me feel pretty good. either way, i’m back on the job hunt.

Photo Friday- Action Shots

I have to do this one a little differently-

^you all saw what my camera does to action shots^

so i have decided that an animated photo is the same thing as an action photo, right?

this one is called, “Bag 1 Matt 0″

U.S. Postal Service, Here i come!

This has been a bad week for DHL- since Tuesday 5 people have been laid off… 4 drivers and a dock worker.  Those of us that are still there are scared shitless that today could be our last day.  Here’s what really sucks.  I get my vacation starting on November 15. and i’m praying that my job lasts long enough for me to get that vacation- and when i do get my vacation, I am going to have to spend it lining up my backup job.

I sure hope the Post Office will take me- Angela and i were talking about this last night.   Starting pay for a mail carrier in New Mexico is 18.00 an hr. my problems would be over.  I have worked for DHL for more than a year, and i barely got them to give me a raise back in july- and when they did give me that raise, it was only enough to cover the health insurance that i never got.  Theres not too many reasons to stay with this job other than to get my vacation. That really sucks too, because now that i’ve gotton used to my route, I like it. but freight has been dropping- a normal day can be up to 80 delivery stops and 25 pickup stops.  i’m down to about 40 deliveries a day and i picked up a new pickup route area on top of my downtown/old town stuff… so at least i’m semi-busy.

time to get ready for work

My Vote

First of all, I would like to say that everything leading up to this Election day has made me want to pull my hair out- I am not happy with the choices we have. In fact, im pretty disgusted with both of em.

First theres Obama who thinks he’s the winner already, and the way things are looking, he could be right.  To me Mr. Obama is exactly what this country does NOT need- sure we need to CHANGE a few things, but i dont think the change he wants to bring is for the good of America.  I think the change he wants to bring is only going to cost Americans tons of money, and God knows i’m barely making it as it is.  I do not like the company he has kept, from Bill Ayers (”I don’t regret setting bombs”) to Jeramiah Wright(“god D*MN america”), to his own wife who hates America the way it is. What exactly is this Change he is gona bring? take our guns away? spread my money around? raise prices on everything? yea nothanx.

on the other side, we have John McCain who runs the dullest, stupidest campaign in the history of America.  I like the man for who he is, and what he did for our country, and he deserves respect for that.  But, ever since he got the republican nomination by default cuz everyone else dropped out of the race, his campaign has left a LOT to be desired, such as running ads that are relivant to this election.  bringing Paris Hilton up in one of his negative ads for Obama was just the beginning of his uber retarded campaign.  it seems he has always been a day late and a dollar short thru the whole campaign, almost as if he wants Obama to win too.  there’s no fire behind this guy hes just… blahhhhhhh, which disturbs me too… what terrorist is gona be afraid of this guy?

My vote goes to Kermit the Frog.

JUST FOR FUN, take your vote and make it into your penis
