Rain Rain go away

My cup of tea.

Where does that phrase come from? I wonder if it originated out of England. I suppose everyone would have their own cup of tea, hence the phrase.

Why is it that people have to go to the bars with other people? I was at a bar tonight and noticed that I was the only person by myself. And then I noticed people staring at me. I really didn't care. I went there to have a beer and do some work. I don't mind being by myself. Our society portrays people who do things by themself as loners or losers. I know better. It's nice to be by yourself at times.

Hell, I'm my own best friend. If I didn't enjoy my own company, then who else would enjoy my company? Did that even make sense?

I found out today that the rent on my place is going up next month. I love my place. The owner wants me to sign a year contract for $30 / month more. If not, then my rent goes up $80 / month. That sucks big time. I'm not sure what to do yet, but I have a whole 14 days to decide.

BASTARD!!!

I wanted to sign a two year lease when I moved into the place to be guaranteed a certain price, but he wouldn't let me. I then wanted to sign another year lease when it expired last October. Nope. Now he wants a year lease.

There is some good news. I get my daughter for the summer this weekend. They bad news; her summer program cost $150 / week. I have her for six weeks. Crap... They should rename the place, YMMHA (Young Men's Money Hungry Association). How much can you get for a kidney on E-bay?

When it rains, it pours. Money hungry bastards come in threes, so I'm just waiting for the third one. Fuck... Let's just do this so I can take out a loan already.
