Old people, thugs, drug dealers, and Miami. Different topics, yet they could be one topic cuz they all EXIST in Miami!

Well lets see, yesterday I went to my friend's concert. I may be joining that group too if my schedule permits. I still don't know . It depends on the nursing school thing and what days class is on. I got to the school, damn it was a big school for such a lil' town, and I had no idea where the auditorium was! I also had trouble finding parking. Then I saw some movement. SENIOR CITIZENS!!!!! I followed them in and found where I needed to be.

The band was really good. I really like going to concerts. I wish my own friends would come to some of mine. But to date only my BF has come and Shawn tried, and I do believe him, but sheeeit, noone else could make the time? Whatevs! I know some of my friends really do have busy schedules, well actually only one does. But the others just could give two shits. Great friends I have, huh? The band was alot younger than the one I'm in. I saw alotta baby faces on stage. LOL One thing that scurred me a little was on the program, it lists everyone's name and occupation!!! If I do end up in this group, what the FUCK am I gonna list as my occupation?! Temp?! Hell no!!! I had 2 really good jobs before, but Id feel like I was completely lying if I said I was a Mortgage Processor or a Marketing Coordinator/ Event Planner. I am in a job that makes no use of any of my skills or past experience. I basically answer phones and type shit and stuff envelopes which makes me a receptionist. But my title is supposed to be Staking and Publicity Assistant or some shit. But I don't DO anything. I could say I'm a webmaster, but that makes me look lazy. Eh, I'll worry about that when the time comes. Maybe I will have found a better , more respectable job by then.

After the show, I met up w/ Ann and her bf and she introduced me to that guy who wanted to meet me, and then we bounced. I was starvingggggggg, so insteada cooking like a good lil' recessionista, I ordered chinese! I ate way too much tho' and my stomach hurt after. =(

On my way home, I got to an intersection w/ stop signs. There was a thug walking backwards thru the intersection, or should I say , struttin' backwarkds. Another car pulled up to the stop sign on my left, a beat up old buick filled w/ more thugs, and stopped to stare at the backwards walkin' thug. Since the old buick wasn't moving, I decided to go. The backwards walking thug stopped at the corner to do some dance to impress his other thug homies. Then the thug starts cursing me out yelling' you white bitch!!!!!! What the fuck yo!? Like I was gonna run his ass over. Yeah, why don't you inject a lil' less than what you injected you paranoid mofo?!

Today was back to work *sigh* but I'm about to go so this is gonna be quickycito!!!

Today some other thug calls, mouth full o' marbles asking about staking his racehorse. Not gen the type of person who owns racehorses. You'd think it'd be a well educated CEO or something, regardless of race. Well this dude didn't use any thing near correct english, had his bratty kids from god knows how many baby mama's screamin' in the background, and didn't understand 1/2 the shit I was saying cuz it was too 'technical'. MEanwhile he would periodically yell at his brats to "be quieeeeet, sheeit!! I 'z on the damn phone!" Must be into drug dealing cuz I dont' know how someone like him could afford to own a horse. He probly runs an OTB (off track betting) joint in the hood for his brothas.

On a good note... I am sick of my life and all the shit going on in it, so I'm a jumpin' on a plane to Miami.... in like 2 1/2 weeks! Hope I have some accomplices for the trip!

Spring has Sprung...well, for today anyway.

I woke up this lovely manana to the usual sound of the bitch next door yelling at her brat (she also stunk up the hallway last night w/ a tuna-smell *gag*). But today was different. Usually I drag my ass outta bed, into the shower, down the stairs, out the door, and to my car to go to work. Today I did the same, except when I got outside something woke me up! It smelled like spring! See, I live on the coast (one block from the Ocean) and I haven't really seen it much since all I do is work and rest lol. I smelled the fresh salty ocean smell that I usually associate w/ beach season! Woohoo. It kinda instilled a temporary good mood into me, since I know that beach season is 3 months away!! I gotta buy my badge. I save a whole FIVE DOLLA if I buy now, as opposed to after June 18th. Hahaha.

So then, I drove my lovely hour drive thru the farms of bumblefuck to get to work.

Normally, its freezing in this damn office, but thanks to global warming, I was able to wear one of the new tshirts I got at Wal Mart yesterday. One of my well-off (cuz she lived w/ her parents for evaaaaa, and pocketed her entire paycheck for years) friends claims that Wal Mart has 'shit clothes'. So does Target, and JC Penney and wherever else except Loehmans. Well I personally think Loehmann's clothes are shit too! They're all spandex! Only the suits are really of any quality. Anyway, I do agree partially that these stores CAN carry shit clothes, but you have to know what to look for. I don't wear spandex/nylon clothes. These cheapie stores have 100% cotton clothes sometimes for a good price, so if i see em, I grab em. I saw $5 long tshirts at Wal Mart in diff colors, so I grabbed 3 and one tank top. They're 100% cotton. I needed long sleeved stuff but couldn't find anything made from a decent fabric. Plus I don't have that much of a budget for clothes. $20 for 4 shirts is good and is much needed. I don't know how long this 'spring' will last, but hopefully it'll happen frequently enuff since most of my clothes ARE short sleeved!!! I really do miss shopping tho'! For clothes, accessories, purses and Ikea stuff =(. Much of what you see here in my living room, accessories, circle n' square mirrors behind the tv, furniture and rugs are from Ikea. I love that store!!! (Note - My living room has since been updated, but this was how it was this sumer. Hence the lovely AC in the window)

Today we have yet another auditor. Kentucky Chuck. Along w/ Billy the Babyfaced Auditor. Chuck is friendly, yet speaks at 1/2 the speed that I do, and answers w/ long "Yeeeeeee-ep"s. Billy doesn't talk to me at all. He's friendly w/ the employee who hates me, so by default I guess he hates me too! =( Eh its ok, really! I'll live! I can't imagine doing that job. Ugh so tedious. I really hope they get paid well. They flew in from KY for this.

For lunch I had Chicken Tikka (indian food). Iheart!! I gotta learn how to make it! I gotta stop spending money like this but i've been so lazy! I think I'm finally over that stomach bug. It lingered but it was definitely very mild compared to what other ppl got. Today my nose started to run. Great. Is this phase two of the virus, or a different cold? I feel ok now tho'. Just will take it easy and hope to fight it off if it decides to come back. I'm kinda hopng its allergies from our springy weather and not a cold. Cuz I feel fine.

This is getting boring. Even I'M bored writing it. 1hr 1/2 left here, then off to Chop Rite to return a spice (no, I still haven't done it!), then hopefully get a lil' sea air on the boardwalk, then in to watch Top Chef! Deelish!

I'mma pack my knives..........and GO!

Chris Brown, Intervention, and Price of a Damn Sandwich!

Ok so, obvs, i'm really behind on the times. I haven't really watched any kinda pop culture shit in a while, besides trashy reality shows, so I didn't know the 'Chris Brown Scandal'. I read today, thanks the reporter who basically put it in the headline to grab my attention, that Chris Brown beat up Rihanna. Wow. Like he thought he wasn't gonna get caught?! So now they're saying his career is dead. Yeah probably is. I'd have to agree.

Another young celeb, Michael Phelps, is another one. Altho' I don't think he should be dropped from all his endorsements, cuz what young kid doesn't smoke weed? Ok I didn't but thats just cuz I hateeeeee the smell of it and I quickly learned that I was the odd one out in that dept. I was like, the only person I knew who didn't smoke it! But whatevs, my lungs are fucked up enough thanks to my father and years of secondhand smoke. I have already failed numerous breathing and lung capacity tests and I am a non smoker! Sad isn't it? Does he even care? No! Even after he lost a chunk of a lung, and his vocal chords. But back to young Mr. Phelps... I understand why he was dropped from endorsements cuz they wanna project a wholesome image. But to prosecute him? Nahhhh. Then you'd arrest every frat boy, sorority chick and gen college population in colleges across America! Just leave it alone. I think he's learned his lesson. If not, well he has a career that will crumble like a piece of corn muffin...

Speaking of food... I stopped at the diner on my way to the temp grind today to get a bacon and egg white sandwich on a toasted roll. Yes, I know I bought the toaster oven for this very purpose so that I could make my OWN and save money, but that just hasn't happened since I pushed back my 'wakey wakey time' to 7:50am from 7:20am. I haven't woken up at 7:20 in a while now! I hear the bitch next door yelling at her kid at 7, but I can still lay there and zone out amidst the "Seth get up!!! Seth , get dressed!!!!" screams. So anyway, went to the diner, ordered it ahead of time so I can just swing by and get it, and realize that it costs $5 and change for a damn sandwich! When I lived in NYC (where I spent most of my adult life so far), you could go to a cafe or a street cart and get a sandwich for $2.50! I used to patronize the Oxford Cafe and get either a sandwich or a wrap and a soda. Why the F are they charging 5 dolla for a sandwich now?! ugh, I really DO need to start waking up earlier and making this shit my damn self! S'sly!!!

Last topic for this blog: Intervention

This is a show on A&E and it's been on for a few years now. I absolutely heart this show!! I don't now why. I'm not an addict, I don't know any addicts, my life has never been affected by an addict, but I find it strangely interesting. Every person on there is addicted to some kinda drug, alkee, or behavior (mostly drugs and alkee tho'). They follow a story line. An intro, showing you the person, they tell some stuff about themselves, they show what kinda drugs, or alcohol they use, how often, how they do it, where they get it, how it affects the fam, then they do a flashback to the childhood. Usually the ppl are all sparkly bright little kids w/ winning personalities. Then something goes wrong. Whether its a cheating boyfriend, murder of a parent, drug/alkee usage in the fam, scandal or whatever, something leads these ppl down the dark path. So then they start using drugs or drinking, and become the mess you see before you. But when you ask the addicts why they use drugs and why they're hurting so badly, they don't know. But you can clearly see it in their story, what led them to do this.

Geniusosity

Yesterday, being the genius that I am, I dropped my cable box in my room. Ugh! So the access card thingy that you need to get your channels (on Cablevision) didnt stay in the slot. I was told I can still get access to 160 of my many many channels in my room with out the box. So I adjusted some wires and was able to get SOME (but not 160) channels. Unfortunately, A&E was not one of the channels I got, so I had to watch Intervention on the couch last nite. Usually I do watch tv in my living room but it was freezing last nite and my bed has a down comforter! I usually go in my room at 9 something to watch tv and I fall asleep at some point but I stayed on the couch and shivered to watch this show. Today alot of earth, space and science shit is on the history channel. I think I get that in my room tho'. I also have rehearsal (for Band) tonight which means a ridiculously long day. I have to fig out how to switch cable boxes so that I won't have to pay for the one I broke. It is probably fixable but you know they're gonna tell you its NOT just so you can pay them more money!

This killed a decent amount of time. I am supposed to update my company's website but have not been able to get ON all morning! (This happens alot!) Ugh. Gotta keep trying tho'. I just can't wait til this weekend. Well no, I can't wait for Sunday when Valentine's day is OVER!!! I dread V Day. I have a goal... I will spend alot of time swimming this week. i haven't done much of anything lately and although I don't think I gained any weight I'd like to lose! I have clothes that I need to get into cuz I cant afford to buy any more! Peace out foo'!

1st Blog!

Yay! My first real, official BLOG! I've blogged on MySpace, and tried to on Facebook before, but after reading Preci's blog, I have been inspired to start one of my own.

This blog will kinda be bullshit since it's my first and I didn't really prepare anything to say.

I'm sitting at my temp grind right now. I hope I can make this private so that my co workers can't stumble upon this, otherwise that'd take away all the fun! I am bored shitless, cold and tired. I had that stupid stomach bug that's been going around, still thankful for the mild version that I got, but I'm starting to feel a little eh-y again. All I wants ta do is get the F up outta here, go to CVS and buy a sleeping pill box (no insurance, kiddies ya hear?), since CVS has the best sleep aids, possibly eat dinner, but possibly not and go HOME! My weekend was pretty blah. I didn't leave the house like....at all! I was gonna but my plans were cancelled so it wasn't my faultcita! I did however, save alotta money from not going out and I didn't have to add the customary $10 to my gas tank per weekend that I usually do.

Ahhhh 15 min left til I can leave. I wish I had something funny to say. I entered a contest from my agency, asking us to tell the best or worst temping stories. Since I've temped alot in my life, I had a few. The prize is 100 dolla. I could use the money for the Greece fund, or Nursing School fund. Either or.

We have auditors here today. The guy looks like my lil' brother! Well not really but he has a baby face. He said he'll be here til about 9 tonight. Wow.... I guess he wants to be a CPA too or something cuz I know someone who's about to endure auditing hell for that very reason. But til 9pm?! Eeeek. Well happy auditing young fella! At 9pm, i'll probably be watching some reality show or asleep on the couch. But babyface over here will probably surpass me greatly in income too in a few years. I don't know what CPAs make. But whatevs. i'll be sticking old ppl and cranky children w/ needles by then.

I bought some new piccolo music today! This piece called Mosaic. i'm almost done w/ Vivaldi's Concerto in C Major (Mvmts 2 and 3) and will probably 'perform' them soon, as requested by a few friends. Most of my friends never heard me play and only know me as the dumb brunette chick w/ big boobs. I wanna show ppl I'm actually good at something (actually alot of things) altho' it isn't anything academic. I can also draw, cook, ice skate, swim, and do make up...kinda. Anyway I def want ppl to see me as more than just 'the dumb chick', so altho' playing a few intruments doesn't make you NOT dumb, it kinda takes the focus off the fact that I can't do algebra, or divide or come up w/ business solutions to business problems. Ugh. I'm so glad that AMA class is over with! Thats why I wanna do nursing. I am interested in Medicine (probably cuz i'm a hypochondriac!) . I was sent to business classes w/ my last job (a pharma co.) but boyyyyy did I struggle!!!!

Ok that killed enuff time. Gonna go finish up, and start on my hour trek back home and do something that actually encourages brain activity, rather than where I'm at, where all I do is veg and skim Facebook all day. Ciaocito!
