Sister-in-Law

Yes it has been 7 months and my sister in law is still living with us (check prior posts) I have posted some pretty scandalous stuff on her so I must put out the bad and the good. She actually has not gotten on my nerves lately. I'm not sure what that's about.

I do wish she would stop smoking where the kids can see. I also wish she would stop walking up and down my driveway in a pink and black robe (yes in prior posts she wore purple, I think she wore out the purple one) house shoes, a plaid fishing hat, big black sunglasses and smoking a cig. She says that this get up makes her feel incognito and like no one can see her!?!?!?!? What?!?!?! How do you not see the crazy looking MF in the neighbor's driveway pacing, smoking and talking loud on a cell phone. Maybe that's normal. What the hell do I know?

Oh, and she wants to get rid of her dog in order to get 2 more??? What?!?!?!? When you are at someone else's house with a dog that your host did not know about until the last minute you don't go get two untrained dog and plug in the mix!!!!! Yes, she is paying rent but the rent is discounted so that means you can't do whatever the hell you want to. Since when are dogs disposable???? Do you just drop your dog off in the woods and go buy another???? That does not seem right. I thought you are supposed to be attached to your dog and keep it until it dies. She just thinks her dog is not as cute as my kids dog so she wants another.....excuse me another two dogs.

OK, I went off a little there but she really hasn't been bad lately.

Life, Real Estate, Football

LIFE

Today, I watched two friends fall out with each other over some petty stuff. They are two very different people who just could not find a way to get along. I tried to look out for both of them in this situation and pull them together and it just would not work so they chose to go their own ways. One fired the other and then tried to take it back the next day......too late. Damage done and now the fired is out for the firee's ass.

REAL ESTATE

I'm sad and stressed. I got a real estate project wrapping up. I remodeled a house that is in a decent area yet the crackheads (can't think of a better name for those who steal shit, oh yea cluckers) keep trying to break in. 5 times in two months! They have cost me about $2000 so far on this project. That's just in damage. That does not count an additional $2500 in security precautions. Just when we thought we had the joint secure these fools climbed a tree jumped through the screen on the sundeck and tossed a brick through the window on the back door. They climbed the tree again but I put a steel security door there and they just left.

The is nothing to steal. We don't leave tools in the property and we attach everything when we bring it in the house. So the opportunity to smash and grab is not there. They would have to bring some tools and spend a long time at the house to detach anything. The neighbors are watching. They have called us to let us know what was going on.

I need to get this thing rented until I sell it. I feel like I can't even let the thing sit by itself for one night. I may have to hold this property for a while so now I've got to scramble and put someone in the house. How do I find a decent renter in a matter of days? I think I am going to try to move a renter from one of my other units into this one. It will be a sweet deal for who ever gets this spot. It will be like moving into a new house.

Anyway, I just have to make it happen by getting someone in there. Then I have to worry about getting my money out the deal. Meanwhile, I am going broke.

FOOTBALL

It is that time of year again.....Football season. I love this time of year because I coach. I am a member of the youth football board and am in charge of coordinating the coaches. I have never seen a bigger bunch of egos for little kid football. It is crazy.

Random Thoughts and a Possible Murder

OK, my sister got married late last year. I think I have talked about my Brother-in-law somewhere in this soliloquy of silly, sad, sane, happy, insane and neurotic thoughts. You know, the one who chews his toenails. If I haven't told that one request it and I will tell it.

Anyway, I have not heard of or seen the brother since they got married. Now, they do live on the east coast and I am in Chicago but it seems to me that I would have heard from him by phone or something.

Every time I talk to my sister she says he is out of town.....every time. ODD?!?!?! He did reply to one of my text messages once but of course she has his cell phone. My sister can be hot tempered too. She may have did like the show and SNAPPED!!! Hopefully she just has him whipped and under control.

The Dark Knight is great. I was thinking they over hyped Ledger's performance but I must say he was impressive as the Joker.

I must say I enjoyed Iron Man also. No extraordinary performances but a good movie.

Hancock missed the mark. I still enjoyed it because I enjoy Will Smith but the movie could have been so much more. It could have been so dark. There is so much they could have done with a super hero with super problems. Hancock's loneliness, depression and alcoholism could have been the springboard to a good movie but they took the easy route by throwing in a few good laughs and some overdone special effects.

Football season starts tmw. I love to coach so I look forward to this time of year. I'm putting in a new offense this year and have a new coaching staff. Should be a good challenge.

Life with a Purpose

I've talked before with my boredom with life. Is it because I don't have a purpose? How do you acquire a purpose in life and is that why I don't work with passion and purpose? I think my sports background handicaps me because after you do your thing in front of thousands of people it takes a lot to make your blood flow.

I need a mission. One that I'm proud of, one that makes me get up in the morning. What's missing from a man when he does not have a mission?

I see these people around me that are passioante about their endeavors. On the job for instance I see people competing with each other and fighting for what they want. I just look at them and think, why are you fighting so hard to complete someone elses vision? Why not develop and fight for your own vision? I have developed the vision but I don't fight for it. How do I fix that. Maybe I do fight, but I know I have a lot more fight and passion in me?????? I'm not sure, but I know that something is missing.


I have a job and I have a business. My job I say I want to leave for my business. I love my business yet I don't work at it passionatley, Why?


I feel taken for granted at home. I feel like I look out for everyone else but I don't look out for me. Others look out for me but that does not matter. I feel like so much is expected of me from my family yet it's not appreciated.

I can't get upset at home and have it just be acknowledged. Instead I get met with complaints of my inadequacies (not sexual, I am the man there thatnks). I am open to those complaints but not in reaction to my complaints. I have the right to complain right? Why don't I? Everyone else in my life gets to bitch and moan about random shit and so do I.


Random Thought: I saw The Black Knight......Good Shit!!!!! I'll be seeing that at IMAX. I also saw the trailer for a new Pacino, DeNiro movie that looks good. As does the new Bond flick. I haven't really been into Bond for years but I hear that Casino Royal is good with the new cat. I will check it out before going to the new one.


I got more bitchin to do but I will finish later. BTW my friend and kind of business partner wants to do a radio show. Could be interesting.

NBA Finals

Well I called it. Boston in 7. OK so I wasn't quite right, the C's made it a rap in six. I'm happy for KG and the gang although I'm not traditionally a Celtic fan. Now the Lakers on the other hand. They folded their tents and went home when they found out what real defense looks like in the NBA playoffs.

Now they already let Posey go to the Hornets in free agency. I think he was the most important guy of the bench for Boston. Who does not need a strong defender and a guy who can shoot the three? Look out for the Hornets next year.

As for the Lakers they will be strong but how strong? Will Andrew Bynum come back? Will he be the same as he was when he left? Was his incredible start to the season a fluke? If it was a fluke then the Lakers will have the same ending as they had this year. If it was not a fluke then look out NBA, the Lakers will be playing at the end of next year quite possibly with a different result.

How about Baron, whom I love in a man-love sports kind of way, signing with the Clippers supposedly to team with Eldon Brand? Then, Brand turns and bolts to Philly? Strange. Guys say they want to win but I don't know. I know that Philly has a good thing going but come on, good things were happening in LA too (you can insert joke here but I am referring to the Clippers). I guess the Clip's are destined to always be the Clip's.
