Crazy game tonight!

I knew going into the game tonight that we were going up against the #1 team in the over 40 league. We have a good team but it's not deep and our opponent tonight had plenty of subs. Luckily, their keeper played the game of his life! I was on fire. The final score was 11-8. Victory! People were singing my praise and it felt amazing!!!

Amist all the drama...

... some good news came to me today. I hope my hard work will pay off. I am more hopefully today that my efforts are being recognized. Fingers crossed!

Speaking of losing friends...

I caught a coworker red-handed in a lie yesterday. This is someone I get along with and often have lunch with but recently have noticed behavior that has caused me to back off a bit. There had previously been a few incidents where lying and exaggeration were confirmed. I have no tolerance for liars. I can probably thank my ex for that. Thanks!

Anyway, this bumbling buffoon and I are done. I have warned him so many times to be mindful of what he says, of how he acts, and of how people perceive him. But he is either incapable or unwilling to really listen and change. I'm not his mom and I have no responsibility to help raise him. He is a 30-year old child that is socially ignorant. I am certainly better off without him.

Two friends in two days... the next thing you know I'll be doing something drastic like quitting my job!!! ;)

"The thing about girls is if they want it to work, they'll find a way."

Text exchange I had with a "friend" of mine from yesterday:

Me: "Hey there. So, let me ask you for your opinion, as a woman. I've been flirting with <insert name here> all year and now she's totally disappeared. I have no idea if it's something I did or not. Reach out to her or just leave it be?"
Me: "Grrrls are dumb. ;)"
Her: "Lol. Leave it be. Even if it was something you did, if she was really interested, she'd address it with you."
Her: "The thing about girls is if they want it to work, they'll find a way."
Me: "Okay. Thanks."
Her: "Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear."
Her: "I know you like her."
Me: "I doesn't matter what I want at this point. I don't want to be the fool."

What my "friend" doesn't realize is that I think she is also talking about her own feelings. And my final comment was really more for her than the grrrl I was texting about.

Seems like a fitting last comment from me. I think I'll end that friendship. It'll be best for both of us.

Random thoughts

I like the new Lana Del Rey album. It's very sad. I also like last year's "Melophobia" from Cage the Elephant. It's also very sad. Love (or the lack thereof) does funny things to people. The new "300: Rise of an Empire" movie is utter garbage. I don't even want the copy I bought in my collection. Blech! I scored a goal in soccer from my box. Only the second time in 25 years when that has happened. And mom has forgiven a few thousand dollars I owe her since she lent it to my sister. On the same day mom told me that I received a letter from my attorney. They want to refund part of the retainer fee they have held. Fine by me! Got shit-faced hammered (at 1 o'clock in the afternoon, I may add) at Gerstle's for the opening Viking's game of the 2014-2015 season. And I was invited, at the last minute, to participate in an FFL league. I nearly started the NFL season not in FFL. That would've made me sad. Had a great meeting Friday night with a recruiter. The good news? He doesn't think I'll have any problems finding the job that is suiting for me. The bad news? That job does not exist in this market. Leaving town looks more like a possibility. And it probably is a good thing. I feel like this town has been pushing me out for a couple of years.

I need something good to happen

Soon please.

:(
