18 dicembre Today has been OK!Two of my best friends Mikey and Brandy had their babygirl yesterday - Alexis Kimberlee-ann Sears. I went to see them this morning and she is beautifully perfect, she really is. They asked me to be her godmother, how cool was that?! When I held her, I wanted to cry. This happens to me all the time, it never fails. When my sister had my nephew Ethan, I bawled my face off, lol. Babies are an amazing, beautiful thing, and there's something about the innocense of a baby that makes the world seem like not such a bad place, ya know? Anyway, Mikey became a total dad in less than 24 hours and I loved watching him ... Brandy is super happy ... and I'm sure Dalton is going to be thrilled to have a little sister to watch over. They now have the perfect little family! Congrats and I love you guys!
To make today even better, I found out that I won the $100 draw at work. Every sale I made last week earned a ballot towards it ... so that was the bomb diggety. I've also been calling on this new campaign where each sales is worth $1.50 ... not a huge amount but definately better than nothing. I've been cleaning up on that. Our center doesn't usually have a bonus structure in place so I'm taking advantage for the few weeks I have on this, lol, I'm loving it.
Hmmm. What else? Oh, my boys are now playing basketball twice a week, shining like the true stars that they are. They're loving it and so am I. I don't get to go to many games because I work every second saturday, but the ones I do get to see, I enjoy whole heartedly. And boy do they ever play. I took a small video on my digi cam that I'm going to upload on here at some point - I'm so proud of them.
Speaking of my boys, my oldest William thinks I need a new bed. This morning I told him I was tired because I didn't sleep well due to a soar throat and stuff. He insists that I need one of those mattresses that were invented by NASA. LOL, you know the ones, I'm sure you've seen the commercial. It's the one where they set a glass of grapejuice or wine on the mattress, jump up on and down on it, and it doesn't spill. He's mentioned it three times today so I'm assuming he's serious, lol.
So, 7 more sleeps until Christmas! Does anyone else think that Christmas came crazy fast this year?!! Surprisingly, I'm not stressing about it this year as much as I did the last. I think it's because I stressed so much last year only to realize that it was for nothing and things turned out great. As always, I'm just excited to watch them open their presents. I got them an air hockey table for the "big" present. Do you guys follow that same tradition ... that there's always a "big" present? I'd like to know who decided that there had to be one major gift because every year I'm running out of ideas!
Well, until next time, Merry Christmas to you all, be safe. Peace <3 04 dicembre Some notes to self, just becauseSo the other night I put "analyzing my life" as my msn tag. Do you ever do that? Just sit there and get into that deep thinking where absolutely everything under the sun runs through your mind? I do, mostly when boredom prevails - then your mind starts working overtime. This is what this brain of mine has come up with. Oh, and this is totally for me, so don't think I'm trying to offer advice!
(one) Relax. Things aren't as big of a deal as they usually seem. Emergencies can be handled, and crises eventually pass. In most cases, if we'll just settle down and keeps our heads, we'll come out the other side sooner and better for it. A lot of the drama I tend to experience is the drama I create for myself, sometimes not knowingly but it still happens.
(two) Don't trust your emotions. I'm not saying emotions are bad. I love the emotional life. Emotions are not, however, accurate reflectors of reality. As stated above, things are rarely as bad as they seem, or as good as they seem. No matter how great someone is, I can live without them. No matter how comfortable I am with someone, there is a chance they aren't trustworthy. I'm neither as great nor as horrible as I usually feel I am. Take your gut into account, but only as a witness, not as the judge. Why can't I remember this when I'm SUPPOSED to! I think that's what Stephanie's for, haha, love that girl!
(three) If it doesn't seem quite right, it probably isn't. Yes, this pretty much contradicts my last paragraph. But this lesson has been fleshed out inside of me through several poor decisions. If my gut is telling me to shut up, I should probably shut up. If my gut says I'm going in the wrong direction, I should probably turn around, or at least stop for a second. If something seems just a little amiss, it usually is.
(four) Try new things. Some of my favorite music now is stuff that I'd have never given a chance just a couple years ago. This is something so little, yet, big too.
(five) Let your guard down, but not too quickly. This is actually a habit I picked up in childhood, but I didn't embrace it until recently. I'm not saying everyone should be like me. This may not work for a lot of others. But I'm most comfortable with at least a little bit of a shell around me. I like to stay a little distant from those who I don't consider close to me. To get a real piece of me, you have to earn my trust. It works against me at times, but I've found that I'm happy this way overall. I dunno, call it playing it safe if you will, it's just what I know right now.
(six) Laugh. A lot. No matter what is going on in life, there is usually something that you'll find funny. Laughter embraces the good times, it puts its stamp of approval on joy. Laughter lifts in difficult times, and makes it okay to see the silver lining when everything in you says you must get lost in the cloud.
(seven) Learn how to enjoy memories. This is a skill that I've begun to develop in myself. I've always done it to a degree, but the longing for better days usually overwhelmed the happiness. When I came to grips with the fact that I can never go back, it became easier just to relive the moment. My friends have helped make it seem not so hard and I love them for it.
(eight) A place for everything, everything in its place. I work to pay my bills, not to make buddies. If doing my job well makes me unpopular, then so be it. I won't find myself in the unemployment line over someone's affection. Conversely, my family and friends are not a job I have to do. I love my family because they are my family, and I love my friends because I trust myself to them. I work to get ahead, but I love because I'm already ahead. Not sure if what I just wrote here makes sense, lol. A result from recent happenings at work I guess. Oh well, I'll figure this one out later.
(nine) Don't waste time. I'm not saying to be in a hurry. I'm saying to make wise choices with the time you have. If what you are doing doesn't further you in what you want for yourself, then skip it. If someone's giving you lip service, let them talk to themselves. Haha, lip service ... what the hell? Whatever, I'm leaving it.
(ten) All of the above are subject to change. It wouldn't shock me if a year from now I was looking at this post and decided that I had "unlearned" a couple of these lessons. Because, that's just what I do. 24 novembre If I lay here, Would you lie with me and just forget the world?That's from Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars. I'm loving that song right now amongst so many others. If I could marry music, I would. Music isn't clingy, needy or trying to invade my space, haha. My most peaceful part of the day is at night when it's just me and my music, whatever else going on doesn't matter for the time being. Other songs in my rotation lately are:
1. Young Jeezy - I Luv It (I don't know why, he luvs it and I luv it, so we're both obviously luvin' it - that's good enough for me)
2. T.I - What You Know (Exactly what it says, wha'chu know about dat?! Such a good venting song)
3. The Fray - How To Save A Life (I guess this was a hit on an episode of Grey's Anatomy and I don't even watch it, I saw the previews to an episode that played this song and was instantly hooked)
4. Hedley - Gunnin' (I just like it, nice to see that someone is gunnin' for something, lol)
5. Black Label Society - Sick Of It All (because who isn't ever sick of it all)
that's just to name a few so i'll spare from creating a huge massive list that's meaningless to you all, lol. Really I'm just bored and have nothing major to write about. So here's a funny story between myself and my son's basketball coach a few weekends ago:
Me: "Is it okay if I sit here to watch the game"
Coach: "Actually the stage over there is reserved for spectators"
Me: "OK, thank you"
Coach: "You must be here to cheer on your little brother"
Me: "No, I'm actually here to watch my oldest son William"
Coach: "Oh"
YEAH! Then he just walked away with this puzzled look on his face. Maybe I need a makeover to look more motherly or something. I'm thinking I should call Oprah! LOL. 13 novembre I want my own Noah!So the movie The Notebook came out sometime in 2004 right? Well I never did see it until saturday night. I kept hearing from everyone what a great movie it was and meant to see it, I guess I had just forgotten about it. Saturday night rolled around - I had nothing to do and noticed that it was on. I watched. Wow. That's all I can say. Best movie ever! And to think it was written by a man is crazy, haha. I grinned, I cried, it was just damn great. After watching, I've decided that I want my own Noah, story or not. To love someone that much must be absolutely amazing. A little sappy, yes, but who cares. I'm willing to bet that more people probably like that movie than you think and want to find the same thing someday - their own Noah or Allie. LOL. The Notebook kinda gives you the feeling of having something to look forward too and maybe even a little bit of hope ya know? There has to be SOMEONE in this world like Noah Calhoun - someone that will jump on my ferris wheel and hang there until I say yes!
Ok, you can all make fun of me now, haha. Later! 29 agosto Since when did taking joy in life become immature?Some days it feels as if all the world is blind to the question above. Some days I feel as if I hold a secret, known to a very few in this section of the world.
I’ve seen adults look at children with so many different expressions. The indulgent ones, who patronize the imaginative — the happy ones, who sit on park benches and watch the little ones play, with memories of their youth in their eyes. The envious ones, too, who are nearly the same as the happy ones, except they are wishing to be sent back in time, to play as these children are. Why can’t we, being part of the older generation, just jump up and play too? There are no rules saying we can’t — we simply don’t. And then we complain at home, to ourselves and to whoever is around to hear, that we miss ‘the good ol’ days’ when we were free to do as we wished. And then we turn and stare at anyone who does just that, as if they warped here from another planet. Stick your head out a moving car window to feel the wind. Remember doing that as a kid? I loved that. Climb a tree (my personal favorite,lol). Go down a slide or swing on a swing. I used to get on, swing as high as I could, daring myself to try and reach the height of the nearest tree or closest building in my view. I still do that ... why not? Most importantly, people need to take the time to laugh a little.
There are no rules saying you can’t.
Plus - you’ll live longer. 24 agosto I just had a FANTABULOUS experience ...
This is by far the BEST stuff I've ever used! I loooooooove it. I just decided to try it tonight so I bought a bottle of it and the matching conditioner. As you can see, they come in cute, funky, curvy blueish purply bottles with captions on the back that say things like: Use Me: Massage my creaminess in. Feel it hug your curves. Rinse out. Got spring fever yet? and on the front label: I'm deliciously bent, and your hair is too. It even has silly but interesting trivia on the label! Way more exhilirating than your drab, "Lather. Rinse. Repeat." Anyway, it's SO nice .. and the coco mixed with mango extracts make it smell SO good. And it comes in a whole array of different types, and they all come in really cute, colorful bottles and have quirky names, like Drama Clean, None of Your Frizziness, and Hello Hydration. Now I know why that girl on the commercials screams, "YES! YESSSSS! YESSSSSSSSSS!" =D And ... don't be hating on me because my blogs are now sounding like commercial advertisements :P On a more non-retarded commercial note, how about the changes to msn spaces ...errr ... I mean "live spaces"? Do you like them? What's with the all this "live" business anyway? It's not like messenger or spaces is alive and crawling. That's what it sounds like, like these programs can reach out and touch you, maybe even bite you, lol. Seriously tho, I think the changes look cool but is it just me or does a space load 27465882037487 slower now? I find it annoying, to both post and read other peoples spaces. Maybe I'm just too impatient, I dunno. Later homies, and go try that new shampoo 22 agosto Here I Am ...My poor lil blog. Seems as if I hadn't had a whole lot to say in almost 3 months or so. Sorry 'bout that. I'm not sure what the issue is but I just sorta ... ran out of words, lol. I don't know if people still even read these things anyway
So yeah. I was just sorting through my kids school supplies tonight, putting the right ones in the right bookbags. When you were younger, did you have something…some possession that you coveted that was sorta….well odd?
I remembered back when I came across their colored pencils. I had and obssession with them. I remember I had a really nice set of them, and I of course was very particular about making sure they went back in the case in rainbow order.
I hated it when friends would ask to use them. I knew for sure that letting others use my prized pencils would only result in something hazardous happening. Plus they never put them away right. lol I had the same obsession with crayola markers, lol. I REALLY hated lending them out because there would be those kids who would squish the shit out of the tips. I didn't like that at all. That's my blog for tonight, lol. Didn't think my first post in 3 months would be about colored pencils but whatever, it's as good as it gets I guess. Oh, I also read this and got a good laugh about it:
This was the source. Somehow, I'm not surprised at all. Peace out ...
25 maggio 30, thirty, THIR-TYYYY!!I heard a conversation on the radio a few days ago that sparked my interest.
The topic: Things you should give up after you turn 30.
One of the suggestions was thong underwear. Other people called up and said low rise jeans or miniskirts. Jeeeze, the way these people were talking you'd think that turning 30 meant that your on your death bed!
I'll be turning 30 in about a year and 3 1/2 months. Did that ever pain me to write that, haha. So, here I sit wondering, what is considered inappropriate.
Can I still burp really loud after drinking a nice cold budweiser?
Can I still watch Much Music, MTV and BET?
Can I still read books like "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants?"
Can I still hang out on MySpace or even MSN Spaces? (the odds say that I will still be here, haha. SO WHAT!) Can I still blast my hip hop music with the windows open loud enough that people stop and stare when they walk by?
Can I still eat fruit loops for breakfast?
Can I still read magazines and wonder how in the hell Britney Spears is ever going to make a comeback now that she's pregnant again?
Can I still climb the odd tree now and then?
I'm not even going to mention clothes because I think I can keep on with my style until I die. I'll be buried in my jeans and a t-shirt ;)
So now I'm just curious to know ... Is there anything you gave up after turning 30? If you're still in your 20's, do you think someone in their 30's should behave a certain way?
I also got to thinking about the old me, the me before I had my kids.
The Old Me would never leave the house without a little makeup and my hair done.
The New Me rarely ever leaves the house without a stain somwhere on my clothes and tired eyes, lol. The Old Me could walk into a movie store and walk out with a movie that I've been wanting to see. The New Me never leaves with a movie anymore unless my kids approve. LOL. We all have to agree on the selection. I guess that makes sense since we love our movie nights together. The Old Me would be able to sleep in once in awhile. The New Me is lucky if she can sleep past 7 on a Saturday. The Old Me used to blast hip hop tunes with tons of not so good language sometimes The New Me considers James Blunt and Jack Johnson the shiz! (But I still love my hip hop but I watch what I play)
The Old Me used to sit, curled up on the couch, pen in hand and write about my past and my dreams for the future. The New Me is struggling to figure out what happened to those dreams. The Old Me wants to kick the New Me in the ass for being so wrapped up in my own head that I can't see what's really great about my life sometimes. Update: Thx to Lor and Grumps for helping me with adding pictures to the album. It worked! Wicked!
11 maggio Hey Yo!People come and go in life all the time right? Yeah, I know they do but it's too bad really. Maybe I'm just envious or jealous that they are actually getting out of here and heading onto something better, or maybe I'm just being selfish, or, maybe a bit of both. I just think that people are great in general, especially when you learn something from them and more so when they are just all around "real". It's sucks really but whatever, what can you do? Wish them luck and hope to seem them again someday I guess.
I dunno. This is the time of year when people just decide to pick up and go elsewhere. A good time for it I suppose, there's money to be made ... I know this! It's just a little sad is all, good people are few and far between these days, or so it seems.
Anyway, not much of an update ... just a little venting due to a little sadness. Maybe it's the rain.
So how about the weather? (With the exception of these past couple of days!) LOL. Seriously though? Doesn't the sun put you in a good mood? I know I've been much more energetic these past couple of weeks, alot less tired that's for sure. I'm just looking forward to getting on with summer already. I've been playing football outside with the boys ... so much fun. They play with me until their friends come around then they just straight up ditch me. Haha, so not cool but I guess that's just how it is. I'm learning how to suck it up! AND ball has started again! I love that because it gets me and the boys out of the house to hang out with Brandy and Dalton a few times a week, and it's always a good time watching the games. I've been having some good times with my girl Steph in freddy every other weekend or so, a blast really ... and more to come! Because we have plans, haha. So thing are good!
Anyway, I guess that's it for now. Oh, if anyone has invites left for Windows Live Mail could you PLEASE send me one! I'd love you forever and will put you in my will. You can have the $3.26 that's in my bank account ... that's if they don't take it for service charges, haha.
Love ya all! Peace out!
* The boys and I love and miss you Tessa! 05 aprile I like these words ...Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old only by deserting their
ideals. Years wrinkle the face, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. Worry, doubt,
self-interest, fear, despair-- these are the long, long years that bow the head and turn the
growing spirit back to dust.
- Watterson Lowe
02 aprile Reminiscing: Ready, Steady, Go!I bought the movie Roll Bounce for my kids, I loved it. It's a movie that takes place in the late 70's when roller-skating to soul tunes and disco was big. It reminded me of the roller rink in Lower Sackville, Nova Scotia called "Wheelies" - only when I went, it was during what we called the "New Jack Era" (late 80's through mid 90's) - I was 12 and 13 at this time - just a little thing.
New Jack is a hybrid style of R&B combined with Hip Hop, also known as "swing beats". We used to skate to Teddy Riley (Guy), Bell Biv Devoe, Wrecks-N-Effect, New Edition, Troop, Father MC, Hi Five, The Boys, Soul II Soul, Bobby Brown too name a few. I remember people skating around the outside while others danced on skates (or not) in the middle doing "the electric slide" and "new jack swing". Then when a slow R&B song came on - people would slow dance by joining pinky fingers together, haha. The guy leads by skating backwards, girls skate forward. We were stylin back then too, haha. Some may not think so, especially now looking back but it was an era - an era of baggy overalls with one strap down, polka dot shirts, troop suits, funky hairstyles (high) and adidas jackets. The first person that comes to mind is my sister Amy, her and her best friend Elaine at the time were BIG on the adidas jackets and high hair. LOL. I wish I had pictures. lol
We used to have a big group that got together to go - the lower sackville crowd and halifax crowd. Good times - it was just the place to be because it kept teens out of trouble for the most part. Later on though, there was alot of racial violence and Wheelies kept shutting down. After awhile it went bankrupt because of it and they replaced it with a freaking bingo hall!
I often wonder if roller-skating was big everywhere at this time or was it just where I was from? I've never heard anyone talk about it. People probably think it's geeky or whatever but it was a very memorable time in my life. I think it's mostly because I prefer to remember some of my friends the way they were at this time, the ones that changed later on down the road, the ones that let street life become their way of living. Now, some of those people are no longer around. It's a sad thing.
I just want to go skating again! 29 marzo They're playing our song ....I am in love with music - I really am. It doesn't matter what it is, I love all types and if I'm feeling the lyrics or sound, I'm loving it. I play music 24 hours a day, even fall asleep to it. Anyway, last night when I was listening to a bunch of random songs, I realized I have "our song" for just about every friend I have. Now it may not be a song that is lyrically significant to "us", it may not even be a song that we even listened to together, in fact, it may not even be a song that you've heard before. But, if I know you, or we're friends, or have ever hung out ... then we have a song. LOL
For instance, "Sandy" & "Three Rows Over" by Bobby Cortola will always remind me of my mom because she always played them while ironing clothes when I was a kid. Those were two of my favorite songs on that album.
or
"Stray Cut Strut" By The Stray Cats will ALWAYS remind me of my father. LOL. My memories are good with this one, I just wish you could see my dad strut to this!!
or
"Touch Me" by Samantha Fox will no doubt always remind me of my sister Amy. She was probably only about 10 or so at the time but we used to go this place with a jukebox and play songs to pass time and sing our lungs out. Amy always picked this song! It's probably so memorable because at 10 years old, she probably had no business singing a song like that out loud, lol. Funny!
or
"The First Time" by Surface will always remind me of my first real boyfriend Alston. I remember getting into an argument with him at the rink about something STUPID and walking over to Dairy Queen upset - anyway, he found me over there, hugged me then looked me right in the eyes, wiped away my tears then told me he loved me. Haha, I cried. What a freakin episode that was. LOL ... Man, was I ever a dork at 13 and Alston you were so full of shit back then!.
or
"Happy" by The Boys will always remind me of the best friend that I've had since I was 13, Celene. I sang this to her when she and her boyfriend Peter broke up in grade 8 and made her cry. LOL. I actually just found this song for the first time in years the other day and sent it to her on msn. She played it and started to cry ... she remembered. ;)
or
how "18 and Life" by Skid Row (shut up) will forever remind me of AQ because we watched a band together who sang this song. Then he proceeded to break my heart into a million little pieces when he just randomly decided to forget about me. For a month or more I played this song over and over again (again, shut up, haha)
and last but not least,
"Everyday" by Marvo reminds me of my best friend Tessa. We used to blast this EVERYDAY last summer on the way to work and the beach.
-------
While I'm on the topic of music, shopping for groceries was hilarious last sunday. I'm walking down the isles with my cart when James Blunt - "Your're Beautiful" comes on. I freakin love this song ... you have no idea. Anyway, I pass this older lady, probably in her 50's and she's singing along with it, smiling to herself. I turn the corner, and this dude with a huge blining chain on is singing it. Further up the isle, this young mom with kids in her cart was singing it. LOL, people love this song. I thought it was kinda cool - would have made for a good commercial!
I'm outtie. 28 marzo So Impossible"Do you, do you like dreaming of things so impossible or only the practical?" .... - DBC
A friend of mine I met via msn spaces ;) sent that song to me once, and you know what? I love it. I listen to it alot. I do that, dream about things that are impossible, I don't know why ... seems to be the story of my life but nevertheless, it's what I do - sort of like a reality that's better than my own. I think it's because it helps me live in the moment ya know? I'm all about living in the moment now - I'm happier that way. Some people may not agree with that kind of view but whatever, that's life. I just think that you should enjoy something, whatever it is while it lasts without always worrying about trying to define it or by putting a label on it. I have a feeling that I'm not making a damn bit of sense but I guess as long as I get what I'm saying - it's all good.
Next random point. I was talking to someone last night about people, and how most of us at some point kinda wear this "mask" when were around other people - in a way that covers up who we are to adapt or even like a defense mechanism. That got me thinking and how I do that alot. For me I put on this front for people, mainly my friends, (family too) and act like nothing in the world bothers me. I act like I'm cool with how my life is going - where I'm at with it, or that I don't care about being broke ALL the time, happy about working at a call center, etc. I portray myself as a strong mom and act like everything is easy as pie-- when really I am not so strong ... and things are hard as hell at times. Anyway, my point is that it makes me wonder how many of the people I know do the same thing. I think we all do it - some probably more than others I suppose - depending on the situation. Or how many of us change who we are around different groups of people, especially when we feel out of our element? I've seen it, and I've done it myself. And I suppose it's for all different reasons. Maybe it's to feel accepted, to avoid judgement or who the hell knows. Just an observation as a result of a talk... something to think about ... lol.
Oh, guess what? I bought a "Poison" t-shirt last week and one with "The Doors" on it. Cool shit I tell ya. LOL
Peace out and "unskinny bop bop" and all that other jazz 21 marzo Na NaNa Naaaaaaaa!!The title is an extention to my buddy Mikey's blog title. It's a work thing.
So I just finished tip-toeing around my house like a freakin maniac. Here I am trying to sleep and I start hearing all these noises, noises that sounded like someone was trying to open my door amongst other things. I lay there .... and I lay there thinking, I'm gonna get the hell up and search for intruders, lol. Imagine, little old me, what could I possibly do right? Well let me tell you I went over to my dresser drawer and pulled out my trusty weapon and got ready to go woooooooosaaaaaaaaaaaa on someones ass if I had too. LOL. Fear makes you act crazy. Anyway, turns out it's just really windy outside and the window was open in Will's room - the blinds were just flapping against the window sill. I find this out after turning on every light in the house, creeping around corners and acting all private eyeish. Is that even how you spell eyeish?? Or is it I'sh?? Whoo! I thought I was a "Cold Case" file waiting to happen!
I thought about ditching my blog again. I've deleted most of everything on here. I really have nothing worth writing anymore. Not to mention I'm a bad visitor/commenter these days. But whatever, nonetheless here I am babbling again.
I recently discovered that you can rent movies from Rogers with my digital cable. They have this thing called Rogers On Demand and you can rent the movies for 24 hours! Clutch right? No! I should have never found this out - this could just end up being yet another way for me to rack up unnecessary charges on my bill. I have this problem downloading stupid shit to my cellphone when I'm bored. Because I'm a geek I now know how to make and download my own ringtones so that's no longer a problem. Why did you do this Rogers?
Speaking of movies, I watched The Exorcism of Emily Rose this weekend. Crazy. I found it boring for the most part, just because of all the court scenes and all but I also found myself laughing at my ass off. I don't want to spoil the movie for those who haven't seen it yet, but, there was this one scene where this dude was in bed beside emily and woke up to her on the floor all twisted up and crap ... HILARIOUS but freaky at the same time. I mean what would you do in that situation? I'd jet!
Ok, so other than my private investigating tonight, there's really nothing much going on. I think I feel safe enough to go back to sleep now. Someone's just lucky there was noone in here tonight because I was about to go all bruce lee on them ...haha.
Word!
14 marzo Just being random ... By the way, have you seen my shoe?I mean my sandal? lol. Yeah, it's almost time for me to bring 'em out again ... lovin this weather we've been having. I love my brown airwalk sandals, the only thing is that I can't find one of em. That's upsetting for me, lol. Seriously though, I'm pumped for summer. I can already hear the beach calling my name! I don't know about you, but I find winter to be long and depressing. It just is ... so much time spent in the house, nothing to do, you know the deal. This is the town of four O's. I'm not dissing it but it does come alive during summer months. Can't wait to just chill down by the water with Brandy and our kids to watch the boys play ball. Some say I might even play ball this year myself ;) Just maybe ...
Work couldn't be more rotten but then again more hilarious. I guess I'll be sticking it out there a bit longer than I thought since I just found out that the job I was waiting on is no longer happening. That sucks but I'll just keep on keepin on.
I had a really great weekend. Friday was new for me and fun ;) It left me wondering. I spent saturday with my friends ... it has been awhile and it was awesome. I forgot how much I like seeing them smile, just being themselves. They're good people, wouldn't trade em for anything.
Ace ... what can I say about Ace. I think I'm love with that guy .. if not him then it definately has to be that little grinding move he did last week. [See video up top, lol] Ooooohhhweeeeeee. I have something to say to everyone who votes to get Ace Young, Taylor Hicks and Chris Daughtry off the show every week, your all trifling biaaaaatches, and you suck, lol.
After a whole year and more of blogging i still dislike the word "blog". I can't help but think of those old wooden shoes called "clogs". Did I ever mention that I actually owned a pair of those when I was 6 or 7. They were slip on's and had a brown buckle. LOL. What was with all the brown during the 70's/early 80's anyway?
I've probably had about 45 coffee since "Roll Up The Rim" came back and you know what? I won two ... just TWO coffees. I think the winners are in medium cups .... but what do i know?? I think Tim's is trifling too ...
and ... that would be all. lol. I really do need to find my other sandal! 06 marzo Ooh child, things are gonna get easier . . .I've always been one to get sick of people complaining about how much their life sucks. They hate this, don't like that, not enough of something, to little of what they do have, yadda yadda yadda. Don't like being broke all the time? Get a job, it's called working and being self sufficient! Don't like the job you have? Get a new one!
But guess what? I'm a hypocrite. I do this all the time. ALL THE TIME! I think everyone does this -- some just more than others. Not anymore though, times are-a-changin'. LOL. It's a new day. Haha, it's kind of funny that i'm just realizing that I have control over my own life and how it goes.
Hey do you know what's so great about living in Oromocto? You can go to Tim Hortons and see three cars behind you that are full of people you know. Yeah! On second thought, I'm not sure if that's good or bad. 27 febbraio Aww, Mr. Furley Died!
I feel kinda bad because for some reason, I thought he was already dead :S 12 febbraio MindFREAK
I like A & E, atleast when they are feeding me with guilty pleasures of shows like"American Justice", but I believe that they may have gone too far this time - in case you've missed it, it's a show wherein some lisping guy who looks like a refugee from Whitesnake (complete with more eyeliner than I wore all through high school, I-slept-in-a-bus-station hair, and the occasional bandana) accosts allegedly* unsuspecting tourists in Downtown Vegas and allegedly amazes them with various magic tricks. I'll go on record right now and say that I don't mind magic tricks, but I don't like professional magicians, they're creepy - I challenge anyone to name one professional magician who doesn't give off that skeevy, rape-y vibe that makes you break eye contact in less than ten seconds** - Constantine from "American Idol" could be a magician because he's got that way of mesmerizing you with his stare, a walking recipe made up of Roofie-coladas type of stare. But, that's ok because I like Constantine and he'd my only exception in this case, lol. But back to Criss Angel (and his two look alike, heavy metal brothers) - Guys, I'm a fan of the 80's, but they're over--time to move on! Even before he referred to "his craft", and claimed that he could levitate because he has "total muscle control", this show makes "Dog the Bounty Hunter" look like "Masterpiece Theater" - it's entirely possible that this is the worst show on television.
** Duh, this is totally how he gets people to buy the tricks, they look at him, he skeeves them out, they look away and he sneaks a pony off stage It's wierd that he's cute in a creepy kind of way, you know ... like some of those vampires in the movies. LOL.
03 febbraio Brusha brusha brushaI have issues with the smallest of things.
So, I'm in some drugstore* this week buying the random girly stuff like concealer for the luggage under my eyes, lipgloss, yadda yadda yadda and I remember that I need a new toothbrush, so I mosey on over to the tooth care aisle and I am not kidding when I say that I stood in awe of the selection for a good five minutes - why are toothbrushes so advanced now?
Ergonomic handle? Come on now, how many carpal tunnel injuries have we seen from chronic toothbrushers?
Rubber grip for better control? If holding onto your toothbrush is that big of a problem, perhaps you've got some other issues to work on first Gum Massagers? Are my gums looking tired and tense? Do I need to send them to a spa? Telescoping neck to reach into the back? How lazy are you that you need this? It's your mouth, not a cavern! Not to mention that with all of these advances, they're too big to fit into the little holes of my toothbrush holder. How much more can these companies fit into toothbrushes? Is the first mp3 playing iBrush too far in the future? Can Motorola figure out how to add an ear piece so I can call someone while my mouth is full of minty froth? See, I'm one of those weird people who doesn't need every device in my home to be a multi-tasker - the iPod is the iPod, the blender is the blender, and the toaster is a toaster. Come on!
Freakin toothbrushes!
*do they still call them drugstores? Doesn't that seem politically incorrect or something? I mean, I can't tell you the last time I actually bought drugs in a drug store - I buy my mascara in the drugstore and usually have to go out back behind the dumpster to get the drugs. LOL :P
** it really just tingles in a most disconcerting way - the model for the lip gloss is Kate Moss, I wonder if cocaine is the secret ingredient... hmmm, I did buy it at the drugstore.
Yeah! |
"Criss Angel - Mindfreak" is the cheeziest and creepiest show EVER - and I've only been able to handle watching it for about 7 minutes.
