As Bushie's World Turns (The Update Thread)

[Simfan34]

I love this new term: "public shorts."

[Simfan34]

And now, a deep thought by BushKenya - I have often thought that Christmas lovers like myself get jipped every year.  There is 1 month out of the year where it's mostly our music, but 11 months out of the year there is not a peep of our music that is heard and if it is played, we are considered "weird, abnormal, crazy, even psychotic."  Why is that, I wonder?  Why are we considered crazy for practicing our hobby or interests?

Not trying to troll here, but just asking a question.

One month? More like three, and it's damn annoying. Slaving year round for one day, that happens every year, is psychotic.

[Simfan34]

Get these all in writing.

[Simfan34]

Godspeed, Bushie.

[Simfan34]

Immigrate to Sweden.

Are we talking wages now? Mine works out to $22.75 an hour.

Okay, this is getting pretty interesting again.

Like I said it has more twists than a full season of Big Brother!!

Your life should not have plot twists. Your should be constant and follow an unyielding pattern. Get up, run, shower, eat, go to work, eat lunch, go back to work, run some more, eat dinner, do something cultural, repeat again. You keep on doing the same thing over and over. You do not leave your job, you do not take foreign adventures. You stay put, and maybe, just maybe, they'll leave you be.

I don't know if you're serious or if this whole thing is some longstanding work of fiction, but you take what life gives you and you cope. You cope and hope that constancy will lead to betterment, the gradual accumulation of experience and respect at a steady rate. You are conscious, which is good. Avoid further exploitation and just stay where you are.

So now he becomes a Mormon! We have our next arc! Good grief...

[Simfan34]

It turns out my father will be staying here and not coming with my mother and me.  We probably will not need his SUV, as we can get everything else in the movers truck or my Nissan Sentra.  This trip is already going to be expensive with me being out of work now until I actually start work and paying for the movers and the motel and the apartment and the gas and food.  If we can cut costs by not renting an SUV and letting Mom fly home after we're done moving things in, then that'll be wonderful.

Where's  he going to live? They're separating?!

Also, I'm about 60 pages into the second Update. Oh my God, Bushie. I now see the futility of this. You are beyond help.

[Simfan34]

Why do you tell me this? I know you'll pay no attention. You could at least answer my questions.

[Simfan34]

I too have far better things to do right now.

[Simfan34]

Bushie, I'm 130 pages into the Second update

I too have far better things to do right now.

Do ya?

I was in a car travelling from New York to Washington. I did not then. I did when I wrote that.  I was outside, actually. I enjoyed myself greatly.

So, Bushie moves to Utah: I give it 1/12.

Your personal motto is Semper Eadem. I'll return from Ethiopia and you'll still be in Oklahoma, mark my words.

Mods, why haven't you banned this idiot yet? He's trolling, soliciting advice and not taking it, indeed doing the exact opposite of what we say. You set your ultimatum, Mikado, but he's failed about 20 such of his own similar goals. Get rid of him. Now!

What's wrong with you simfan?  Most of us enjoy reading his tale, and you don't have to read it.  You're living in a fantasy world if you think Bushies litany of woes, failures, and disappointments isn't closer to the real life of the vast majority of americans than your buppy-in-a-tuxedo pretense.

Thus my mention of an authoritarian leftist conspiracy.

If you return on or before 8/17/2012 then, yes, I will still be in Oklahoma.  After 4:30 am on 8/18/2012 I will be on the road to Utah.

Simfan, seriously, if you can only insult me and defame my name, then get off this thread.

I came with no opinion and no prejudice, but you always say things and never carry through. What evidence do I have to assume it will be the contrary this time?

Fair point.  This time, I've already hired movers, I've already secured an apartment, I've already secured employment in Utah and have ceased employment in Oklahoma.  We have a lot of money already invested in this move.

You must be logged in to read this quote.

What investments did you make in your prior abortive moves?

[Simfan34]

I'm not saying you'll lie. If you say you did, you did.

[Simfan34]

I continue to maintain that this constitutes trolling. I derive no pleasure from my vindication.

[Simfan34]

I stand corrected. Perhaps you are bathed in prayer. Jmf has been praying for you regardless of the fact he's banned. Godspeed Bushie, Godspeed.

[Simfan34]

I do believe I would be good at it.

No.

He would be just fine. 

Bushie, you remember I told you many times that you could come teach in Thailand?  Just go back and get your teaching certification from an Oklahoma 'university', and you can make a $3,500/month salary in Bangkok - a fabulous living here.  And, its really not that difficult for an early-morning type such as yourself.

I think this may be a good idea...

[Simfan34]

I don't know what you guys are taking about. My unmarried AP Euro teacher earned over 100K a year and owns a Jaguar.

[Simfan34]

Bushie, I admire your honesty here.
