Forty Eight Hours

Wednesday, I am heading to the BIG APPLE to see…wait for it…wait for it…MADONNA! Yup the concert is finally here and I am off to see her live and in person at the Garden Wednesday night. Julie is flying up to meet me in the city and we are going to have such a great time. She has seen Madonna with me for the past two tours. Oh, I just can’t wait!

Thursday night, 'It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia' will air season 2 and I can not stress to you how great of a show it is and how you must watch it. It will be the FX Network at 10 and 10:30. I swear you will piss yourself laughing, the show is just that good. Last year I could not talk enough about this show, so you have to watch and see for yourself what all the hype is about. Plus, there is nothing else to watch, so it is totally a win/win situation. Trust me you will not be sorry.

What, No Dinner First

I can’t stand to get fucked over when I know I did nothing wrong. Why do people get away with murder, OJ, and I can’t get what is owed to me. Case in point:

When my SUV was in the accident a few weeks ago it did not make any funny noises nor did it have any blatant scratches on it. Somehow, somewhere during the 2 weeks of me getting into the wreck and getting my SUV back it magically started to make clanking noises when the gears shifted from reverse to drive and the back bumper now has 2 huge scratches on it. None of these issues were there when I released my SUV into possession of wrecker co. after the wreck.

The insurance agent who was handling my bumper called me and said the pictures showed the marks on the SUV when they received it at the service center, so they are not going to pay for the damages. I told them I didn’t care whose fault it was, the scratches where not there when I released my SUV and someone was going to pay. I guess not because the bitch on the other line was not going to hear anything I had to say, and she gave me the wrecker’s phone number and told me to call them myself. I said “what good is this going to do? They are going to say they didn’t do it and I am still fucked.” She then told me to have a good night and that was the end. I was so mad!!!!

The noise coming from under the car was the other thing that was not there, that now just happened to appear out of no where. I took my SUV to my mechanic and had him look at it, and there was just not enough proof that the damage to the area could have cause the looseness. The noise could have been caused by wear and tear, but since there was no noise prior, he feels it could not just be plain wear and tear. The problem is there is just no way to prove it. So again I get FUCK!

I called the manager of the service center and told him the situations of the findings and laid it out like this. The noise I would forget about, since I could not prove one way or the other that it was caused by the accident. My mechanic said there is some looseness causing it to create the clinking noise, but there is no definite way to prove what caused it to happen. The scratches, on the other hand, were not on the bumper when I released the SUV and I will not back down on that issue. The manager understood my pain and felt sorry for me, I think. He said he would talk to his boss and see about getting it fixed. This guy is really trying to help me and I told him I got fucked twice and not in a good way. I think he found that funny and said he would do his best to get the bumper fixed.

I know this may not seem major in the grand scheme of things, but when I feel I have been violated I just do not want to be taken advantage of and do nothing. I feel like I am speaking up for all who’ve been screwed by big business, and I will do whatever I can to make things right! I just hope my dark cloud of shit-on-my-parade doesn’t follow me.

Video was of Lynn Westmoreland’s appearance on the Colbert Report. Lynn was totally made fun of and looked like a complete ASS! The link must have been taken down from my original source. If you can find it, definitely take a look. It is hysterical.

Quicker Update

The folks visit was nice. I think they were here about 3 hours before the first fight broke out. Not too bad. I figured it would have started a bit later in the evening, but I knew it would have started, it always does. We went to MD for crab cakes for Father’s Day and my friends Mara and Jim came with us. I needed some sanity in the car with me when dealing with my parents. Thank God, because someone else witnessed the conversation about my dad and him changing his initials to JDDM. Since our last name is De Marco, he feels that each of the letters that are capitalized justify its own initial. This is wrong, but there is not telling him. That would be like someone with the last name O’Malley having the initials O M; wrong! We went round and round with him, getting madder and madder until we had to just drop the conversation. He could not get it into his head that he was wrong and we would not change his mind no matter what we said. He is just a stubborn old man whose mission is to drive everyone crazy. I am just glad Mara and Jim where there to see it 1st hand.

I am still getting over my cold. Sudafed cold and sinus is a savior and I recommend it for anyone who has a slight cold and wants to knock it out quick!

My SUV on the other hand is not knocked out quick. I finally got it back last night, after 2 weeks and noticed 2 gouges indented into my back bumper. I told the insurance company and they said they would take care of it, but the agent called me and said they would “investigate” the situation. That means they are going to call the tow company and the tow company is going to say they didn’t do it, the service company is going to say they didn’t do it and then the insurance company is going to say they are not going to cover it. Then I am going to get fucked once again. Even though the gouges were not there when I left my car with the tower the night of the accident, it is my fault the bumper was damaged. Then, to top it off the agent told me to take my SUV home and return my rental.

So, I drove my SUV home and noticed some slight swaying in the drive home, but when I got home there was a loud clank/bang in the transmission coming from the rear of my SUV. I called the place I picked it up from and told them everything that had just happened and they sent a tow truck, once again, to tow my SUV back to the service center. They said to hold on to the rental and they will be looking into the problem. He said there are cases where there are hidden issues and this seems like one of those times. I said great, just my luck! So again, I am without my car and I am going on week 3.

To top it off, my work laptop is crashing and I am having it re-imaged tomorrow. That means they have to rebuild the hard drive and swipe everything from my current hard drive.

Quick Update

I am still without my SUV. Thay are waiting for a part to come in and they hope to have it by Friday. So they have me waiting 2 weeks for them, but I have only 24 hours to pick my car up or else (this is where the 'duhn-duhn-duh-dumm' music plays).

My parents are driving, as I type this, on their way to see me for fathers day. They will spend the weekend with me...and NO I am not the father, my dad is. He wants some good crab cakes for his special day, so they headed up here. We know this little out of the way place where they serve these huge crab cakes; the size of your fist. Mmm...mmmm....good!

To top it all off, I am sick. I think I am the only person who can get a cold in the summer. It is fucking June, almost July, and I have a cold. Can you believe that! I swear I am just about to go nuts with all the shit that goes on in my life. I just can't win for loosing.

At least the folks are bringing me some GA sweet tea!

Rub One Off

It seems my bad luck is rubbing off on people:

My boss' car did not start yesterday and had to get his car towed, my co worker got rear ended today by some guy who did not notice she was stopped and while I was in the car with an other coworker this car next to us drove off the road and ended up driving off of a little cliff getting stuck.

I am not a superstitious person, but I swear I think I may be cursed. My boss did have problems with his car before but that was around the time I was having with my car and my eye. Coincidence, I don't think so.

My coworker was driving back to my office when she got hit. She was on the opposite side of the building where I got hit, but she got hit just the same. She was OK, but her car has two hole punctures in her bumper where the other truck hit her.

Lastly, when I was in my other coworker's car today, we were waiting on my boss and this car was going around us and ended up driving off of the road and practically driving off of the driveway and onto the supporting wall. The car ended up getting hung of the bottom of the car just past the driver side wheel. I had to admit I laughed, just because it was not me, but I felt sorry for the bitch. I mean, it was her fault cause she could not drive, and she did not notice the huge 5 foot drop off.

I guess it is nice to see it is not just me who's life is in the crapper!

Life Kicks You In The Ass

So, after you have read my pervious blog and seen all the shit that has happened to me in the past week, I am sure you must be say "Things have to get better for that poor bastard." Yeah, not so much. Last night as I was leaving work some mother fucker who can't drive decides to ignore the stop sign, cross the yellow line and, OH BY THE WAY, turn into a one way street to go the wrong way and plow right into the back of my side of the car.

Typical for me, driving minding my own bisness and crunch this fuck comes out of now where and slams into my rear tire area. So now, I get out and see he can't speak English cause he just ran across the border, but thank God he had insurance. I called the cops and we went throught the motions.

The police could not site him, due to the fact we were on private property, but they said they would have love to have charged him. There were many things he did wrong. I said thanks, that made me feel better, NOT. But what ever. I had my car towed to the tow yard and a buddy of mine came and picked my up.

Now I am waiting for the claims person to look at my car and set me up with a rental. I just hope it can all be done quickly. I am just so tired of all this shit happening. When will something go right?

Peace,

College Daze

OK, so my car issues turned out to just be the battery, THANK GOD! Nothing more than low juice, so had the batt replaced and I was go to go.

Yesterday I picked up some students from American University and George Washington University and we headed down to Charlotte to Queens College for one of Pi Kapps leadership conferences. In my many years as a Pi Kapp this is going to be my first experience at Pi Kapp college, so I am not sure what to expect....

The drive down sucked!!! What was to take about 6 hours took over 7 due to major rain storms and stupid ass drivers! Then when we finally made it to the college, we had no clue where to go. The directions I had did not give specific details on where to go once you get to the school. I had to drive around three times before I found the parking deck. You know how it really sucks when you see where you wanna go, but you just don't know how to get there, yea, that was me.

So we do the check in, and I say my hellos to all my friends that work at National and I head to my home away from home. As I walk to across campus memories of my old school days came rushing back. Me with my bedding in hand and my suitcase over my shoulder I entered into my dorm for the first time. Lord that stale smell hit me like a ton of bricks.

I entered into the lobby, which is the common room with a ping pong table and foos-balls table and a TV and some chairs. Reminded me of my dorm back at VSU, but this room was ten times as shitty as the one I had. It looked like it was in mid renovation or something. I walked pass and made it into the hallway were the dorm rooms were, looking for my room....Looking for 124. I found the room, but there seemed to be a work order on the door to fix shit that was broken in the room. I thought typical of my luck and entered.

2 beds, 2 desks, a mini fridge/microwave, a mirror and a closet for 2. Not bad as dorms go. I mean it was way bigger then the one I had 13 years ago. Nothing like the GA State Village dorms - those kids don't know how good they have it! I made my bed and headed to dinner. Noodles and red sauce. I would say spaghetti and maraniara, but NO. Wasn't too bad..I only had a few bites.

After dinner I had to get to the first opening meeting, but no where on any of the information did it say where the hell to go, so me and about 20 students just stood around with our fingers in our asses trying to call people to find out where to go. Finally I got some info and we were off. Pi Kapp College had officially begun...

More to come about the weekend later,
DeMo

In A Day Of The Life Of

Let me give you a peek into the life of me. I know I might complain about the shit that might go on in my life, but this shit I really can’t make up!

Last Thursday I went to the doctor because I was experiencing more and more headaches, so she put me on a different medication. I started to take the new prescription and for 3 straight days – Friday, Saturday, and Sunday – I had a headache straight through. I stopped taking the new medication and the headaches stopped. Some help this new medication was for stopping my headaches!

So, my 3-day weekend was now in the shitter, so Monday night I was watching TV and I noticed the TV was getting blurry. I rubbed my eye and rubbed my eye and rubbed some more, but no relief was in sight. After an hour of fighting the blurriness, I had to take out my contact and found out my eye was infected. YEAH! All night I washed out my eye and tried to keep it as clean as I could. The next day I stayed home from work because I could not see out of my left eye. Later that night I was supposed to watch Pearl Jam in concert, but if I was blind in one eye, I wasn’t sure if that was going to be possible. All day I washed my eye every 30 minutes, so by 4 pm I was finally able to put in my contact. I was able to see. I guess my luck was starting to turn. I knew I wasn’t living in a black cloud every day.

I left to pick up my friend for the Pearl Jam concert, knocked on her door to get her, went back to my SUV to drive us to the concert and my FUCKING SUV would not start! My black cloud found me again. We tried to jump start the thing, but nothing happened. The engine just would not turn over. After sweating our asses off trying to get my SUV to start we gave up. So we wouldn’t miss the concert, my friend ended up driving us. The Pearl Jam concert was AWESOME!!!!, but I was able to truly enjoy it because I was thinking about my SUV and wondering what the hell could be wrong with it and if I was going to be able to drive to my conference on Friday.

The next day, Wednesday, I called a my insurance company to get my car towed, since it wouldn’t start and they would have a wrecker come to tow me to the dealer. The wrecker was to meet me at my SUV. I headed to meet him and got caught in some road construction traffic and was about 10 mins late and the wrecker left. Typical DeMarco luck!!! I had to go back to my office, call the insurance company, they had to call the wrecker to come back and then I had to go back and meet them once again. When I got to my friend’s house I tried to start my SUV, just to make sure it still didn’t work, and it did not start. Finally, The wrecker showed up and the guy tried start the SUV and it started. The fucking thing Started!!!!!!! I about shit in my pants, I was so pissed. I could not believe it. I had him still tow it to the dealer just incase, and once there, the SUV started about another 5 times with the service agent watching as I tried to reproduce the problem I had the night before. I felt like a total prick. They are going to try to find the problem and fix it by tomorrow night. I still have to drive to Charlotte on Friday. We’ll see how that goes.

After I had the service agent look at my SUV and write up the ticket I needed a ride back to my office because I left my condo keys there. I had the courtesy shuttle take me, but first he had to drop someone else off first. We drove about 20 mins out of the way to drop the lady off who didn’t know where she lived, or how to get to her place. I was so mad! Finally, I had to try to figure out where she lived and try to translate it to our straight off the boat from China driver who spoke two words of English. I thought I was in some kind of Twilight Zone movie; it was so comical, this ride was. This lady did not remember the name of her street, the driver could only say Metro (subway), but sounded like “met-row.” Once we dropped this bitch off at a corner that looked familiar to her, we headed to the metro, so he could make his scheduled pickup. Then back to the dealership we went. I told him he needed to take me to my work and he just looked at me. I am not sure why he thought I was still in his car, but I wanted to just punch him. I just said, “GO!” and pointed. After 45 mins I made it to my office, which was only about 2 miles down the road.

When I was in the elevator I thought about when I get my keys I had no way of getting home, so I was going to need to walk back to my condo. Which I guess was the perfect way to end my day; a mile walk in 90-degree weather in a long sleeve shirt. But to my surprise, my coworker was just leaving and I was able to snag a ride with her. Thank God for small favors! When I got home I quickly became an alcoholic!

DeMo
