In which I rant about something.

Ok, so your humble PartsGuy was at a friend's house doing laundry last Sunday. The TV was on, and while I don't watch very much TV at home, when I'm elsewhere, I'll watch if it's on.

This time, I watched a couple episodes of Growing Up Gotti.

I'm going to suggest that if you've never seen this show, keep it that way. You're missing NOTHING. Just a bunch of spoiled asshole kids and their VERY ineffective mother. I was damned near physically ill.

One segment made me laugh. In a voiceover, Victoria comments about her boys and makes a statement about upholding family honor.

Yeah, right. Your father was a fucking murderer, drug dealer, and all around thug. I bet he'd be REAL impressed with your parenting skills, too.

I will suggest one thing. If you think these people are worth emulating, then you should probably go out and buy a .45. Then load it, stick it in your mouth and pull the trigger. Either that, or move to the East Coast to be closer to your heroes.

Anyway, I've determined that the worthless assholes Gotti offspring are all deserving of a good old fashioned pistol-whipping. Either that or a baseball bat to the skull.

THAT would be quality television, let me tell you. Better yet, how about "Gottis Go To Boot Camp"?

I'd watch just to laugh at them suffering without any hair gel. Worthless trash.

Schtuff.

So, I went to the doc the other day, and hopped on the scale. It seems your humble PartsGuy managed to lose 12 pounds! I figured, what with Turkey Day and Xmas oinkfests, I'd only be down a couple, if any.

Happily, I was mistaken.

I've decided enough is enough as far as the jetski payments go, and I'm going to go ahead and pay it off. Then, I'm probably going to end up selling it, as I only managed to go out one time last year, and between the 'ski payments and insurance, I can probably come up with better uses for that 75 bucks a month.

Maybe as a car payment. I'm torn between getting a truck, which would be useful if I do manage to buy a house, or a nice Crown Vic/Grand Marquis. I don't know. What would Chuck Norris do?


Or maybe I'll just put the 75 a month towards other things.
