::I Thought This was REALLY Funny::
I hope I don't offend people out there, but I thought this was hilarious:
Random Blurb: All I have to say about that picture is: Wow.
::Hump Day...HAHA::
Ah...Wednesday...I'm that much closer to Friday...WOOHOO. Man, this week has really dragged for me. I have to go see my counselor tomorrow after school. I got to go and talk about my "issues" and shit. I mean I don't mind going because I do know that in the long run it's going to only help me out, it just really hurts to have to confront all the crap that's in my past. I mean there's so much that I was overwhelmed in my last session and it was just really hard to even get words out. I mean for my friends who really know me and most of what I've been through, it's so easy to talk to them. I have that trust and confidence that they'll be there for me and my character isn't compromised because of what has happened to me or what choices I've made. I don't feel judged when I talk to my counselor, I just don't have that trust to totally be able to say everything and anything to them. Yeah, ok, so they have that confidentiality shit. That's not really reassuring. I don't have a history or time tested relationship with this person so opening up is a little difficult. I've told them, and we're working on it. So hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to put my wall down...but honestly I'm not really expecting that much of a difference.
Man I feel like a flake. I totally was willing in the beginning to stay committed to my blog and stuff, but things lately have been really throwing me off. Like stuff at work is changing and like this paxil is really affecting me. The side effects suck for me...I mean before I was able to stay up at weird hours and like study because I was awake, but like now I can't even stay awake in class. I yawn my ass off at work and I always want to take a nap. Now I know how it feels to be a cat. HAHA...ok, it's not
that funny. It's pretty darned amusing though...kind of...not really. OK! Well I've rambled for a while and I think I want a nap...or maybe I'll go take a walk. I gotta make up my mind about that. Thanks for those who still stop by every now and again. It's nice of you to do so. Have a nice upcoming weekend! I'm not sure when the next time is that I'll post something.
OH YEAH!!! I'm still trying to work on my blog that's dedicated to poetry, short stories, and the like. If you would like to contribute please feel free! I can be emailed at riri619@yahoo.com. I'd really like to showcase other peoples' work. I mean you guys will only get sick of my crap anyway. So please if you have something you don't mind sharing give me a holler. Okie dokie then...take care all!!!
Random Blurb: If you can master the art of the word then you can open a door to the world.
::Sorry People...::
I'm not sure how many of you actually care about my weekly stuff, but I've been having a hard time keeping up. I'm most likely going to cut a couple days out. I would like some input on which days to cut. I'm for sure still going to do my weekly pet of the week, but the other days I'd like some advice. I'm going to cut it down to 3 days of the week, and one is already spoken for. So, please let me know which other days you get the most use out of or like the most. You can either shout me out or go ahead and email me. The link is over on the side for my email and the shout out is right underneath this post. I'd really appreciate some feedback, even though I'm not sure how many people even bother to come to my blog. Thanks to all of you who do! Take care and I'll be waiting to hear from all of you!
Random Blurb: Sometimes less is more.
::Funny of the Week::
Hey you guys I saw this and cracked up. I have no taste in humor sometimes, but whatever! I thought it was too funny to not share with you guys. Well, that's it for today! I'll post some substance another time. Enjoy and I hope you guys have a good day!
Random Blurb: Laughter is the best medicine!
::Pet of the Week!::
This week's pet is Al Capone. I think he's cute in that goofy kind of dog kind of way. He reminds me of that one dog Charlie from
All Dogs go to Heaven. But yeah as always I encourage you to go adopt a pet if you can. I'm sure that with love and affection you'll gain a friend for a lifetime! If you'd like to check out more pets, go ahead and visit the
San Diego County Animal Control website. Thanks for coming by!
Random Blurb: A pet is the best friend who'll never talk shit to you...LOL
::Song of the Week!::
This week I decided to give my props to a group that has the knack for keeping it true to the old skool while still appealing to the new skool demographic. Today I've chose Jurassic 5 because they're just so dope and positive. I don't really feel as though I have much more to say about that. Enjoy!!!
WHAT'S GOLDEN (Jurassic 5):
Soup:Check it out now
I work the pen to make the ink transform on
Any particular surface the pen lands on
Zaakir is hands on
What’s the beef?
The Cooley High Co Chiefs
High Post Techniques
I drape off poetic landscapes and shapes
Illustrate the paper space off the pens that paint
Then design with habit the national geographical magic
With tailor made status and plus flavor that’s automatic
(Chorus)We're not ballin’
We take it back to the days of Yes Y'allin’
We’re holdin’ on to What's Golden
‘Cuz on the stage I rage and I’m rollin’ (rollin’)
We’re not ballin’
Shot callin’
We take it back to the days of Yes Y'allin’
We’re holdin’ on to What's Golden
‘Cuz on the stage I rage and I’m rollin’ (rollin’)
Marc 7:Melancholy mundane sautéed or hot flame
Big rings fat chains
They all quest for the same
No name huge fame
Strictly new to the thing
We stay true to the game
And never bring it to shame
We tight like dread locks
And Redd Foxx and ripple
We pass participles
And smash the artist in you
The saga continues
This I won't get into
Cuz there ain’t enough bars to hold the drama that we've been through
Akil:Yo, we’re still the same with the little fame
A little change and a household name but ain’t too much changed
We in the game yo but not to be vain
I refrain from salt grains that seizing up my name
We entertain for a mutual game
From close range
Steady aim
I drum at your head
To hit the brain
I’m labor ready roll scholar for the dollar
Work for mine pay me by the hour
(Chorus)
(Bridge)Hip hop music
Music, that music
Music, that music
Turn in out
Turn it out without a doubt
Chali:Well it’s the verbal Herman Munster, the word enhancer
Sick of phony mobsters, controlling the dance floor
I’m them dark places
Catch you when you stark naked
Your heart races as we punk you for your chart spaces
That tart taste is me bringing these hot styles thorough
Some of u bum a few cheers
From shock value
Word power can plow thru
Acres of cornfields
Paragraphs cut like warm steel
Perform ill
(Chorus)
Random Blurb: That's word.
::I'm Working on a New Project...::
Hey to all your aspiring writers out there! I'd like to let you all know that I'm trying to start a new blog that's dedicated to poetry, song lyrics, spoken word, short stories and whatever written form of art you may like to share. I really hope that some of you will submit some of your work. I gaurantee that you'll all get credit for your work and if you choose, then you may submit your work anonymously. I just ask that you send me material that is truly original and I hope that you are completely satisfied with your work because I'll post it on the new blog as sent to me. Any discrepancies are out of my hands, so please make sure to proof read!!! So if you do decide that you'd like to contribute, which I truly hope some of you do, then please email me your work. I'm not sure exactly when I'll have the other blog up and running, so if I lag a little let me apologize in advance. OK...I just wanted to let you all know. Don't be shy! Share your talents with words. I also will be submitting some of my original work, so that way you guys can get to know me even better. I hope this is something that we can all look forward to. Thanks for stopping by. Take care and good night! It's about time that I get myself medicated again!!! HAHAHA...damn I'm going crazy forreals.
Random Blurb: The pen is mightier than the sword.
::I'm Totally Flippin' Out::
Man being medicated is crazy. I'm trying to get used to this Paxil crap and I totally have been bugging out. I act all weird w/out knowing it. Like I'll get all mean sometimes or like I'll totally think everything is funny or whatever. I've actually been getting sleep! That's the best part of being on drugs...well prescribed ones. As far as the medication actually helping me with my real issues, it has yet to kick in. The side effects suck, I've been all queazy. There's a couple more not so pretty side effects that I'd rather not discuss. I have to start going to see a counselor. It's official, I'm now called the Paxil Lady in my own home. Hot damn I love my brothers for that...dicks...whatever. I figured that I'd share this with the people who read my blog because I should've gotten help as far back as 8th grade. If any of you need help emotionally, mentally, or whatever don't be scared to seek it. I mean I waited 6 years until I actually got help that I was willing to look for. There's no shame in admitting that you have a problem. I feel tons better for doing that. Sometimes you're just too overwhelmed to hope that these types of episodes will pass, and when you hit that point stop letting your pride or shame get in the way. Get help and look for the right kind of support to get you through. This is just a little side thought. Take it or leave it, but I really do hope that I can encourage some of you to face up to those inner demons.
Random Blurb: Help! I need somebody! Help! Not just anybody!...
::Tip of the Week::
Hey you guys! Well today's tip deals with shopping for shoes. If you're like me then you love shoes, I'm really big on sneakers and flip flops. I hate shopping for dress shoes because of the fact that I hate heels and I don't even wear them very often. But I do have some tips on making it easier for you to find a really comfortable pair that won't kill your feet.
Go shoe shopping towards the end of your day: Towards the end of the day, your feet are at the most expanded point. After a long day of standing or walking, your feet have naturally expanded due to the day's activities. Shopping for shoes when your feet are at this point gaurantees that you will buy the correct size that will allow your feet enough room so you don't have uncomfortable pinching or hugging.
Use insoles: Let's face it, not all of us have perfect feet. We may have nice feet, but that doesn't mean that they give us the ultimate support that we need. Don't be embarassed to go and get some Dr Scholls insoles for arch support, or whatever problems you may feel. This not only helps your health, but it also helps you get through the day. If our feet feel good then we can get through the day with ease and not have to think about how much pain we're in. That way you ultimately can have more time to focus on what you should really be focusing on.
You don't have to bust your ass to look good: To all my females out there, we do
NOT need them 5 inch heels. Don't ever feel like you should shove your feet into some tall shoes for a look or for fashion. There are so many nice shoes out there that are about 2 inches in height. I mean I know what I can not walk around in high shoes, and you know what don't ever feel like you should just because it's the "it" thing. Comfort should come first. With comfort you have confidence, which in turn ultimately makes you look good. You wear the shoe, not the other way around.
I hope that was helpful to someone out there. I mean I love shoes, but I know which shoes will work for my lifestyle. I suggest that you try and do the same. Thanks for stoppoing by. Have a nice day!
Random Blurb: These boots were made for walking, and that's just what they'll do. These boots were made for walking, and I'm going to walk all over you.
::Recipe for the Week::
Hey guys I tried this out because with it being lent and all, I've been trying to be a good Catholic. Which is funny because I'm the only one in my family who hasn't had their First Communion but hey...whatever with a capital
WHAT. So yeah...for those of you who are looking for alternatives to meat for whatever reason I thought that this would help some of you out. There's a grip of ingredients needed, but the actual cooking time and preparation isn't so bad. This is just a simple stir fry but I guarantee it's 100% goodness. If you have a wok, much props! That's the best type of pan to cook this in, if not I'd suggest you get a big ol' skillet. Probably a 12 - inch. OK, and away we go!
Ingredients Needed:
1/2 cup orange juice, or chicken stock
1 teaspoon cornstarch
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons rice vinegar
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
4 small carrots, peeled and thinly sliced in a diagonal (about 2 cups)
1 large red pepper, cut into strips about 1/4 inch wide (about 8 oz)
1 medium-size yellow onion, halved then thinly sliced (about 2 cups)
8 ounces Chinese cabbage, halved lengthwise and sliced 1/2 inch thick (about 5 large leaves)
4 ounces snow peas or sugar snap peas, trimmed
Directions:
In a small bowl stir the juice and cornstarch until well blended. Add honey, soy sauce, vinegar, and Tabasco and stir it well to combine.
In the wok, heat the olive oil and sesame oil over a meduim/high heat until it's hot, but not smoking. Add the carrots, red pepper, and onion and stir fry it for about 7-9 minutes. Stir in the orange juice mixture and cook until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens. Then you're all done!
This is a really simple stir fry that tastes really good. If it's not enough for you guys, then you can serve it with some grilled poultry or fish. I'd suggest salmon or chicken breast. You can even serve it with a side of brown rice or something. If you hate it, then sorry...It's not my fault. If you love it, then thanks! All right peepos. Take care and eat healthy!
::I Feel the Love...riiiiiiiight::
Don't you hate that feeling like you aren't good enough or that maybe people are ashamed of you? I absolutely hate that. I've been feeling like that for a large part of my life and I swear it doesn't matter what I do, I'll never escape the people who do that to me. They're so easy to forget what I do for them and it really sucks because I think I'm trying to improve as a person. I mean they can't even have the decency to give me good solid reasons to why I may not be up to par...or whatever. I mean so what if I get my feelings hurt a little? I'd rather that they tell me what's up instead of acting like I'm nothing more than some little annoyance. All I ask for is a little freaking honesty and I swear that's just too much to ask for from some people. As for people who act like I'm some type of disgrace I don't even know where to start with that one. I know that I don't always say the right thing and I can at least apologize for it. I guess I'm just such an embarassment that I shouldn't even be mentioned sometimes. Or if I am mentioned, then it's just like a, "She's OK". I mean...gee! Thanks for acting like I'm important to your life by really trying to minimalize the role I play in it. If you don't want to deal with me then don't. I'd rather that someone be like, "I don't want you in my life" instead of "Hey, I care...not really...but stick around anyway so I can step on you". I'll never get away from these people partly because I'm too stupid to catch it early enough. I let feelings of friendship or loyalty develop for some people which really shouldn't have. The other reasons I'd rather not discuss because they hit
TOO close to home if you can catch my drift. I do have those who can really appreciate me and I'm very thankful. I don't want it to seem like I'm forgetting the more positive aspects of my life. I love those who support me and really have stood by my side. It just sucks that in my daily life that I live with people who seem to think the worst of me, and have thought the worst of me for as far back as when I was a young child. It's really getting to me because it's like I can see when they have valid points about my behavior or what not, but when I try to point it out to them it's like I'm being a disrespector. I don't know what I'm talking about. I'm just a stupid female. I'm just being a hot head. So, fine. I'm all those things you think I am. Just don't get hurt when you hear the truth from someone who really just wants to hurt you instead of help you.
Random Blurb: Fantasy is what people want, but reality is what they need.
::Funny of the Week::
Hey all...well I'm awake. I really shouldn't be, but I've been having the most erratic sleep pattern ever. I can sleep forever one day and then not sleep for like 3 days. Yay! That's so fun!
Blah...but any freaking way I figured while I'm up I might as well kill some time and post my funny for the week. Today I'd like to share a little picture with you. I hope that you all can find some humor in the sad condition of this animal. LOL I know I sure as hell did!!!
Random Blurb: AHAHAHA...C'mon now...admit that's hilarious! I mean it's a polar bear...WTF is it doing on it's ass?!?
::I'm a BITER!!!::
Brenna!!! I'm such a biter. I have my weather geisha now. Haha...how lame...I steal your ideas. I know you probably don't care but ahaha I went off on that tangent about creativity and look what I did. I figure that by at least being able to recognize that I'm a biter with a captial BITE, then I'm only half as bad...or not. Haha whatever with a capital WHAT. I think I need a new catch phrase. All right that's it for today...I don't really have much to talk about lately...well not stuff that I'd like to share with the world. OK, peace and chicken grease!
Random Blurb: Imitation is the highest form of flattery? Maybe...more likely not.
::Pet of the Week::
Hey you people I found a really cool Calico cat. Her name is Ophelia and she's in the Central San Diego County Animal Shelter. I'll admit I'm not really a cat person, but she looks like she's tear your ass up with her claws. Haha, I'm just kidding. She's four years old and I think she's really pretty, but she's just not my type of pet. Maybe some of you out there would like her? Well yeah as usual, there's many more pets at the local county shelters. You can go ahead and visit the website at:
San Diego County Animal Control Thanks for coming by again. Have a nice day!
Random Blurb: I tawt I taw a putty tat.
::Song of the Week::
Well anyone who's known me for even an hour would know how I've been having a passionate affair with the love of my life. I've spent so many years putting energy and effort into making my love stronger and more involved. That's right...I'm talking about my love for the
HIP HOP CULTURE!!! I'm talking about the raw, gully, cipherin' it out, b boy battlin', shake that krylon can, and spittin' them ill ass lyrics, type Hip Hop. Not the bling bling, use a kid as a novelty, rock them throwbacks, air force ones, talk about girls, cars, and money, type shit that they try to pass along for Hip Hop. This Hip Hop is the one that uses lyrics to spit abstract ideas, encourage positivity, and pushes people to come fresh and dope with their lyrics, graf art, b-boy moves, or skratches on a turntable. That's the Hip Hop I love and couldn't live without. That's the Hip Hop that I've put effort into encouraging and maintaining. *sigh* So yeah...the song of the week is
Love of my Life (an Ode to Hip Hop) by Erykah Badu, featuring Common. This song pretty much sums up our relationship. All right! Enjoy!!! Thanks for stopping by!
LOVE OF MY LIFE (AN ODE TO HIP HOP) [Erykah Badu, Common]:
Right here what we gon' do is go back
Way back, oooh way back yeah
I met him when I was a
A little girl he gave
He gave me poetry
He was my first
But in my heart I knew I
Wasn't the only one
Cause when the tables turned
He had to break
(Hook)But whenever I got lonely
Or needed some advice
He gave me his shoulder
His words were very nice
But that is all behind me,
Cause now there is no other
My love is his and his is mine,
A friend became the
(Chorus)Love of my life
You are my friend
Love of my life
I can depend
Love of my life
Without ya baby
Feels like I sampled true love, yeah
Common:Uh freak freak y'all and ya don't stop
Uh to the beat y'all and ya don't stop
Uh freak freak
Or would it be that it was
All just so simple then
A teenage love
But you say
He's just a friend
He moved around and we kept
In touch through his friend Mic
The world was young and we knew
We couldn't rush
(Repeat Hook and Chorus)
Common:Y'all know how I met her
We broke up and got back together
To get her back I had to sweat her (sweat her)
Thought she roll wit bad boys forever
In many ways them boys made her better
To grow I had to let her (let her)
She needed cheddar and I understood that (that)
Lookin' for cheese that don't make her a hood rat (rat)
In fact she's a queen to me, her light beams on me
I love it when she sings to me
Ooh you do you, rock my world
Yeah (love of my life)
And you b-boy and I'll b-girl
Yeah (love of my life)
And it don't stop until the break of dawn oooh yeah yeah
(Love of my life)
Ooh you do you, rock my world
Yeah (Love of my life)
And you b-boy and I'll b-girl
Yeah (Love of my life)
And it don't stop until the break of day...
And it don't stop cause it don't quit and it won't wait...
Random Blurb: Hip Hop and you DON'T STOP!
::Damn the Mania::
Man, today is going to suck. I already know. But yeah I just needed to let that out because I'm all pissy and I'm really in the mood to smack a few people around. They hella deserve it right now. It's so hard to try and keep your temper when you've done nothing but try to keep your temper for a good part of your existence. I swear someone is going to push me too far today and get smacked the fuck up. I'm not even playing. I'm too bugged out to not let shit get to me. I'm feeling quite tempermental and more crap. I've been having one of my manic episodes. I'm trying to stay busy to not stress out...haha...yeah like that ever works. I feel so mean and I don't want to feel that way. I hate when I'm in these moods. I'm all anxious and obsessive compulsive and just plain stressing. Damn the doctor for making me reschedule. You bastard...I need to know what's wrong with me. My physical health is starting to go down the crapper because of all the stuff in my head. Whatever...shit...fuck...bitch...AAARGH!!!
Random Blurb: Health is really mind, body, and soul. If just one is off, then you're all off. That's how I am right now and it's nothing but a bitch. GRRR. I'm so frustrated!
::Tip of the Week::
OK...well I have nothing but time right now so I'm going to catch up by also posting my tip for this week. I found something really cool out in a magazine, I think it was Women's Day? Well whatever, but basically I know that all of us who have cars get all frustrated by them really difficult to get off bugs and bird stuffs. If you use one of them loofah poof thingies you can scrub them away without harming your paint. It's really effective...lol...I made my dad try it first and it worked perfectly. So yeah next time I clean my car I'll be looking like I'm trying to give it a bath but you know what? It'll be really, really, really, clean! So yay for me and yay for whoever tries this tip out!!! You'll find that it really does work way better than trying to use the regular car wash sponge or brush. Well that's it for now folks! Have a wonderful weekend and please stay safe!
Random Blurb: A clean car is a happy car. Haha I'm personifying inanimate objects again...HELP ME FROM MY INSANITY!!!
::Recipe of the Week::
Hey everyone!!! It's that time of week again for me to share a new recipe. I learned about a weird combination of food that tastes absolutely great together. I'm sure a lot of you may not have ever thought of making a dish out of honey-mustard chicken and plums, because I sure never thought of it. It's really good though...the flavors really compliment each other well. Here we go...I hope some of you try this:
Ingredients Needed:
1 to 1 and 1/4 lb chicken tenders (skinless works best)
1/2 cup of light honey-Dijon dressing
4 ripe plums, each cut into 8 wedges (about 1 lb)
Directions:
Heat over to 450 degrees. Have a rimmed baking sheet ready. Cut four 12-in suares of foil, or you can use those Reynolds wrap foil packets.
Toss all the ingredients listed above, plus 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a medium bowl.
For each packet put about a quarter of chicken mixture in the middle of the foil and fold over to form a triangle. Then fold the edges over twice and make sure you press it well to seal. Then place the packet onto the baking sheet.
Bake for 13 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and the plums are soft.
Serves about 4.
::Funny of the Week::
BLAH!!! I can't sleep...dammit. According to the May Issue of Women's Day, I might have chronic stress. That would explain a
WHOLE LOT!!! But yeah I figured that I might as well post my funny for the week because that's what I do every week, and I'm a day behind so maybe I can catch up later...if I'm not lazy that is. We'll see won't we? Point is...I can't sleep, so I'm wasting time. Moving right along however, I'm sure some of you may have seen this already, but I have to share this because I find this insanely hillarious. I can't help but bust up every time I see this damn thing. Just click on the link below. Viewer discretion is advised due to some of the content. Basically don't watch this around your 5 year old sister...LOL...like my dumb fuck ass did. Ahaha...OK...yeah you've been warned. Can't put nothing on me! Later peeps! Good Night...Morning...Whatever...Whenever...Where ever. That just sounds so much better coming from Shakira.
Deez Nutz
Random Blurb: Do a little dance and become happy pants!!! (Haha...I don't know what I mean by that...I must be delusional)
::Pet of The Week!!!::
OK, I know I've said this every week but it's so important to me! Go adopt a pet if you have the space in your home and heart! There's so many animals out there who'll love you!!! Like this week's pet, she's not like a dog or a cat but she's still very much lovable! Her name is Petunia and she's a cutie! She's a black potbellied pig and she's a year old. And
NO YOU CAN'T MAKE HER INTO BACON!!! I know some people who visit my blog like to joke like that so I'm just going to nip that in the bud! So yeah again the link is:
San Diego County Animal Control. I encourage you to check it out, or go visit your local shelters. I'm sure you can find a pet that you'd all love. Thanks for visiting! Ciaó!
Random Blurb: Is this love, is this love, is this love that I'm feeling? (Bob Marley is the MAN!!! Maybe that'll be my next song of the week...)
::SARS In San Diego...HOLY SH**!::
With this crap here at home I figured I should aid in getting information out to you all. You guys can visit:
The San Diego Union Tribune's Site
And arm yourself with information. I want us all to stay safe in this crazy ass world. Take care and stay
SAFE, we don't need to lose anymore friends and loved ones.
Random Blurb: There's no such thing as too prepared.
::Sorry, I'm a Little Behind...Here's the Song of the Week!::
Sorry friends! I'm about a day behind on my weekly stuff. I'll catch right back up next Monday. Okay! Well this week I picked an awesome song!!! It's all instrumental, but it's a classic. Today I'd like to share with you guys the steel drum version of The Girl From Ipanema, by the Island Steel Band. I love the Stan Getz version, but this is just as good and maybe some of you might think it's better. I hope you all enjoy!
Random Blurb: Tall and tan and young and lovely, the girl from Ipanema goes walking...
::Hi There!::
Hey! I'm happy...well about a certain thing...not in an overall sense. But that's not the point! I'm very excited because my medication is really starting to work on my skin. No more nastiness, well it's not as bad. It's still there and all, but it's not as flaky or dry. It actually looks like real skin, just a little discolored. Haha...like you guys want to hear about it! I had nothing else to write about today and I just wanted to say something. Maybe this will be the start of the boost in my self esteem! That would be cool. Umm...OK. I've wasted enough space. LOL. Bye!
Like 3 Hours Later...Man I Hate People!!!
It's like 10:26...and I'm mad. People are stupid. I was just trying to enjoy myself at Starbucks, I look out the window and people I don't even know are leaning on my car.
THEY WAS DISRESPECKIN'!!! I lock my car from inside Starbucks...kind of like a, "Hey, back off"...surprise! They do it even more. Man...why are people whack like that? I don't know you! You don't know my car! Get off sucka! They sit there for Lord knows how long, because they have nothing better to do. I mean there's like 15 of them busters and they're acting like they were the Parking Lot Overlords or something, so I get annoyed and call the National (Nasty) City Police. The operator lady is giving me flack like I'm lying about the situation. I was like "There's people in the parking lot leaning on cars that don't belong to them." She's all like, "Well, how do you know they don't own those cars?" So I was like, "Well, one of the cars belongs to me." I mean I saw a freaking squad car go into the Starbucks drive thru, so I ask the dispatcher chick to ask them to come back around when they're done. She was like, "Yeah, ok I'll radio them." But those fucking prick ass cops just leave the parking lot. Man, I hate the police. They be pulling some faulty crap everytime I deal with them. (Like giving me a ticket for a modified muffler, when the muffler was the stock muffler from the factory.) At least after seeing the police, they kinda disperse.
BUT THEN, some of them walk into Starbucks, all loud and obnoxious. They happened to be
fobs, you know the jerky ones who think it's cool to be an ass? After they walk in, they acted like they were trying to front on my homegirl who was with me, while I happened to be outside talking to one of my homeboys who I happened to call and came to check up on me. I went back inside and they were trying to give me threatening looks and whatever, but they sure as hell didn't say anything, well in English anyway. I get my stuff and I go to my car and check it out to make sure it wasn't fucked with and they're looking from the inside like they're part of some funny ass joke. I waited outside and I gave them looks like get your stank ass back out here and say something. But they didn't even move, stupid, fucking, lame ass, wannabe racers. Man, that shit is going to bite them in the ass.
KARMA FOOL, IT'S A BITCH!!! OK, there's my rant. If I ever see them again that's it. I don't care how many of them there are. They're all bitches anyway.
Random Blurb: Hey boy...what yo' name eh-uh? (that's usually accompanied with my signature movements...as well as my friend Brenna...yeah we really know how to rake them hotties in...ahaha)
::Just so Some you Know...::
Hey Jenn, Meano, and Paul!!!! I added you guys to my links. OK...I hope you don't mind! I'm just trying to make sure that you guys can't say I didn't tell you. LOL...yeah I should really ask first right? Sorry guys, I know you pretty much won't mind because I love you all. And it's not like I'd mind if you guys did that to me. Also, I've done a little renaming. Alrighty, that's it. Yeah, that was soooo exciting. LOL. OK that's enough. Bye!
Random Blurb: If I knew what I was anxious about, I wouldn't be so anxious. (That's a quote from some famous guy, who's name I can't seem to remember at the moment.)
::Where in the World is Carmen San Diego?::
I can't find my sanity. Help me. Just kidding...kind of. Have you guys ever been so anxious about stuff that it just totally throws you off? You can't focus, can't sleep, you're just a mess? That sums up how I've been feeling lately. I have this helpless feeling because I can't control some of the stuff that's around me and it's driving me
CRAZY!!! It's like you know what you want to do with yourself, but it doesn't work because you can't control people or scenarios and in return you can't fulfill your objectives. Well, that's not worded right, it's not so much that I can't control people, but more like it's not any easier because you can't agree or see eye to eye. Like when you're trying to do something because you're trying to improve a situation, but someone else tells you not to do it because they think you're making a bad mistake. They think you're trying to throw your life away, but really you're trying to do what you see is best at the current time. I'm in that situation right now. I'm trying to do what I think is best for not only my sake, but for people I really care for and they're telling me, "Don't do it. If you do, you're throwing away your life. You're not thinking right." I just don't know what else to do for the situation because I really don't want people to suffer and by doing what I think is right, I believe that I can at least alleviate some stress. Well that's what I think I'm doing. I mean if this doesn't make sense I'm sorry. It's more like I'm trying to just let it out and still maintain some integrity by not giving out too many details because I respect the other people involved. Those who know...I know you get where I'm coming from. I'm just getting eaten up by this because I'm torn between doing what I feel I should and doing what they're telling me to do. I totally respect what they think, but at the same time I don't see how staying on the path I'm on will make things better. By doing that, I'll only just maintain the current situation. I want to
CHANGE it, not stay stagnant. Now thinking about all of this is messing me up. I see valid points on both sides of this situation, but I want to lean towards the actions that will get more results. Because of all this thinking, I'm so anxious about everything. Just thinking about this and that and stuff that has nothing to do with this or that. And I know I'm rambling like a moron...Well I'll just leave it at that. I'm driving myself crazy enough as it is, it just sucks that I can't help it. I don't want to over analyze or whatever, but I just can't stop. I mean I can't really tell who's right...or who's more right.
GRRR!!! OK, I'm going. Later peoples!
Random Blurb: Insane in the membrane...insane in the BRAIN!!! (Man that's such an old Cypress Hill song!!!)
::While I was Bored...::
OK...I didn't get to sleep like I wanted. So...now, it's an hour later. I've added the capability to leave me comments. I've left my picture. I've renamed my blog. Great...I'm still feeling unfulfilled. I'm sure some people are wondering why. Well I'll tell ya! I'm bored and can't sleep so I really have nothing else to do. Give me a shout out! I'd like to hear some feedback, like how bad my blog is...or how good. Whatever...I can't force people to say what I'd like to hear, and I don't want to do that. So I'd like some honesty from whom ever may come across my humble page. Just click on 'Shout Out'.
If you're wondering...that's a very old picture and I probably don't even look like that anymore. Maybe now I can remember to take new pictures.
I've renamed my blog because I think maybe that's a better name for it. It's a little more reflective of my personality and thoughts as compared to 'Through the Looking Glass'. Yeah...if you haven't guessed, I happen to be playing on the Filipino stereotypes. I don't mean to offend, but those who know me would probably get it. But yeah...that's about it...I'm finally really getting sleepy so I'm praying to get some rest. I still have to get to work later. Yes, back in the grind. I've enjoyed my 3 days off, but I still gotta make that cheddar...sometimes swiss. Yeah, bad jokes, that means I'm off to sleepy land!
Random Blurb:Once you can truly open your eyes, you will see the world in a different light.
::Howdy!::
Man...I can't sleep...again. I hate when that happens. It's weird how like sometimes I can knock out like it was nothing, then other times I struggle just to get at least a couple of hours of shut eye. This is really not helping me in my efforts to try to be a healthier person. I mean I've tried everything
BUTsleeping pills. I don't want to go there. Sleeping pills scare me. So...yeah...I'm trying to make myself tired. I played my new video game but that can only do so much for a person. It's more fun when you're playing someone else, not the computer.
Earlier, I saw the doctor about my skin. I look all gross and stuff, it's been really bad lately. With all my new medication I should be fine. I have 2 types of shampoo and a steroid cream. They all stink...ugh...but it's all good since it can only help my nasty condition. Hmm...what else...? Oh...I know!
Here's my Tip of the Week!
Today's tip is for all you people who are really into crafts. I know that because of the materials needed for many crafts, whether it be jewelry making, sewing, or what not, we can all accumulate a lot of little beads, buttons, and stuff. So, if you don't want to pay for those expensive carry cases, you can go down to Wal-Mart or wherever and get yourself a cheap tackle box for fishing. You can get a good sized one for about $ 3, and you can fit
EVERYTHING in them. They even have some where you can adjust the sizes of the little compartments, but I really don't recommend those for really small beads. They
WILL get stuck in the little grooves where you place the spacers. If you want something for all your really tiny beads, make sure to get the one where it's already compartmentalized. You won't have to worry about getting anything stuck in grooves, but you just lose the flexibility of choosing the size of the space you need. Please make sure you select wisely depending on your craft!!! The cool thing about all of this is, that you can decorate your tackle box. You can paint them, glue stuff to them, whatever. You can totally make your tackle box another craft in itself. OK, I must sound like a wannabe Martha Stewart by now, so I'll leave you all with that and try to get some sleep.
Random Blurb: Take up a craft for craft's sake!
::DEF JAM VENDETTA KICKS TAIL!!!::
I just want to say I have a new love in my life! Ass kicking, mixed with hip hop music, and buff mens! How much better can that get? I don't know...but it's pretty dope. The game is mad fun...for those of you who don't know about it, it's like a hip hop version of one of them wrestling games. It's just so much freaking fun...oh children...
ALL of you should ask mom and dad for that game. Well...that's all I want to say because I want to go play. So later my friends!
Random Blurb: Games are a healthy escape from reality, just remember to make sure they stay entertainment!
::Recipe for the Week!::
I'm trying to put some pretty healthy recipes on here for everyone because I'm trying to help improve not only my own health, but I'd like to help whoever comes on here to promote their personal health as well. I got this recipe from Emeril's show and would like to share it with all of you. It's for a pretty good cucumber-papaya salad, even if you don't really like so called "healthy food" this has enough flavor so you don't feel like you're missing on on anything.
Ingredients Needed:
1 Large cucumber, peeled, seeded, and thinly sliced
(about 1 1/2 cups)
1/2 Teaspoon of salt
1/4 Cup rice wine vinegar
(found in most Asian markets)
4 Teaspoons of sugar
1 Tablespoon of peanut oil
1 Teaspoon minced Hawaiian chiles or chile paste
2 Teaspoons minced fresh ginger
1 Large papaya, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice (about 1 1/2 cups)
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
6 lettuce leaves
Directions
Sprinkle the cucumber with salt and let drain in a colander for 20 minutes.
In a bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, oil, chiles, and ginger. Add the cucumber, papaya, and cilantro and toss. Line a serving platter or 4 individual plates with lettuce leaves, and top each with about 1/2 cup of salad.
Serves about 4 to 6.
::Funny of the Week::
Before I forget, I came across this funny joke:
How does Snoop Dogg keep his teeth white?
With BLEEEEEEEEE-YATCH
Random Blurb: If a bad joke can still put a smile on your face, then it's not THAT bad.
::WOOHOO Spring Break!!!::
Despite the ugly weather today, I'm just relieved that I get 3 days off in a row this week. Usually I'd be working today, because I have Tuesdays and Thursdays off from work because those are the days I have class. Thanks to our little LECV policy, I'm all good to hang out today. I finally get to go chill at the beach and spend the whole entire time loitering. I'm going to hang out and get dark...hopefully, and I'm going to enjoy the shops and the farmer's market. I'm finally getting some time to relax.
YAY!!! I just hate being stressed out not only because the pressure sucks, but because it also affects my seborrheic dermatitis. It's been getting worse, so maybe I can get a little relief by relaxing. Even if it doesn't help all that much, I still have an appt to have it checked out. I just hope they can figure out what's going on with me, my mom is starting to worry that I might have psoraisis because I'm breaking out in patches other than my scalp. Oh
WHATEVER. I'm just waiting for the beach! That's going to be awesome. I haven't been able to take a really good beach trip in a loooooooooong time.
Pardon me as I Digress...
Well, as to the
STUFF going on. I like how some people think that the only issues I deal with are the ones I bring up with them. They like to think that I center myself around that particular issue, while I happen to have other things going on with other people. I think that's hilarious. It just gives me more clues as to the type of people they are. Just because I don't reveal every
MINISCULE detail of my life, it's funny how people love to make assumptions about the reasons behind my behavior. Even better yet, it's funny how they like to think I'm being dishonest, when I've told them the truth from the beginning. I laugh at all this now, because I'm pretty much an open book. If they'd bother to talk to me and really bother to try and understand me, then they'd know all this. The sad truth is, that some people will never understand. They think or say that they do, but they have no idea where I'm coming from with my feelings no matter how I break it down. It's like I'm being an aggressor for some uncalled for reason that they can't see, even though I'm explaining it to them in the simplest way that I know how. They just won't
EVER get it. I don't expect them to. That's expecting too much of them. If they really wanted to understand it, I'm sure that they could. I understand them better than they think I do. I've spent too much time understanding them with out them really trying to understand me.
