TEN THINGS THAT ARE PISSING ME THE FUCK OFF RIGHT NOW

#1. My inability to rent out the extra bedroom in my apartment. I've tried and tried then REALLY FUCKING tried to rent it out, to no avail.

#2. Chicago experienced a mild Summer in 2009, which led to many to predict that the Winter would be akin to a vicious whore with ice running through it's veins. And thus far, they have been proven right.

#3. My fucking kitchen sink is also pissing me off. I've used way too much $1 Store brand "Liquid-Plummer" to and it's really beginning to piss me off when I can't get through 1 load of dished (hand washed) before the sink is full. Ugh.

#4. When I smoke outside on my porch I can see across a few yards to the next apartment building. They can too. There is this woman who tries to rock a trench coat that seems to stare at me, or rather burn holes through my skull from this "rival" porch.

#5. Cigarettes are more expensive than crack now. Did you know that? I don't smoke crack, never have, probably never will, but seriously, Cigarettes are retarded pricey. Quitting is my new imperative [I went 10 hours and only smoked 1 today!].

#6. The theater groupie that lived above me for 2+ years just moved out and didn't have the sense of decency to knock on my door and say "hey...take care!" or something similarly awkward. What is "smacks fist on forehead-ish" is that 2, instead of 1 theater groupie moved in. 'Nuff said.

#7. It's Monday and I still have no firm date for when my new job starts. It should be sometime this week, provided the city of Chicago's building permit people get their shit together.

#8. A complete and total lack of any sort of romantic attachment is totally getting me down. For real. Even having a prospect would be great, but alas...

#9. Perhaps this goes without saying...but the 'ol fucked up shoulder is STILL giving me issues. And since I have an aversion to both pain killers and Advil-ish shit, I'm "grinning" and baring the pain.

#10. R.I.P. Aunt Karen.
