Rumblings and grumblings concerning life.

[WabashFalcon]

Life right now sucks. It's a little after 2am and I'm laying in the basement of my fiancee's parent's home. My fiancee went to bed an hour and a half ago upstairs. In her bed. Which I can't sleep in yet. Because we are not yet married. By her parents' orders. Also, this basement is ungodly cold. Her sister has been flirting with me since I got here. They do not have cable and yet have a wireless modem. It is after 2am and I can't sleep. Thus, this brings me to the critical arguement of this post:

Is this truly hell? I have another week here. Did I kill orphans with bags full of live puppies in a previous life? Did I shoot Old Yeller and Flipper? Did I invent cancer? I truly believe that I am in hell... seeing as I have spent the better part of four hours crusing the board. Oh... I got two shirts, slippers, and some hangers from her parents. I just love Xmas, don't you?

on a scale of 1 to 10, how hot is your fiancee's sister? lol.

 

[IrishAlum1997]

That is hell. Can't bang your future sister-in-law in a cold basement. Shrinkage!!!

 

[Dacian_Irish]

Yeah I would probably jump off a building or something.... sorry man!

You should tell your fiance that if you have another week of this shes going to at least have to sneak down to the basement a couple nights and (quietly, that makes it more fun sometimes) take care of buisness. Good luck my man!

One word is your solution......vodka.

You probably have a full belly of food. A roof over your head, albeit cold. A place to sleep. A family that loves you.

Hmm, all a matter of perspective.

I'm with Phork. If that's all you have to complain about, you've got it pretty good. Most of us have lived through worse. Rub one off, roll over and go to sleep!

As we speak, there are thousands of US Marines spending the night under the stars in a hole dug into the ground keeping them safe from deranged nuts who would love the chance to kill them at any moment. There are many other servicemen laying in hospital beds recovering from losing a limb to an enemy RPG attack. The lesson is that no matter how bad you perceive your current situation, there's always people out there who are in worse shape than you. This advice is not meant to come across as a lecture, but just an observation of a 50 year old guy who has had his share of ups and downs during his life. I'm 100% sure that are fantastic moments ahead with your future wife.

 

[goldandblue]

Bang the sister.

 

[GO IRISH!!!]

Wireless modem? At least you got porn! I'm with Junkhead - get some booze, log on to some good girl on girl site and have a party for one!




And, in regard to the serious posters, yes, it could be much, much worse. God bless all our service men and women who are not with their families this holiday season!

You killed orphans with bags full of live puppies in a previous life. You shot Old Yeller and Flipper. You invented cancer.

Update:

Thanks for all the notes guys. I am alive and vodka has been consumed. Also, thanks for the perspective. I'm lucky that my guard unit wasn't and hasn't been deployed yet. I kinda like being home for Xmas.

 

[NeuteredDoomer]

Don't cut off your unit.
