Well here I am
Don’t know how to say this
Only thing I know is awkward silence
Your eyelids close, when you’re around me
to shut me out.
don’t shut me out.

I haven’t really had an opportunity to update my blurbs in a long time. There are a couple reasons for that. Been busy with work, Christmas shopping, super sick mode, lost my voice most of this week and to top it off no internet at home for the past couple of days. Being without internet is like having a dull object cut through your jugular. Without it I feel like im bleeding to death.

candidly captivating

I ate at panda express by myself today. Orange chicken yummmmm.
Anyhow i’m half way through my meal and this little girl plops onto a chair at the table next to me. she was super duper cute. probably around 12 years old had thin, brown, straight hair and was pretty pale in skin tone but had chinky eyes. I felt like I was staring at a 12 year old replica of myself. It was a shock because she seriously looked like I did when I was that age. Her dad then sat at the table and I overheard their conversation. He was asking her how her week was. I assume her parents are divorced and it happened to be his weekend to spend time with her so he was catching up with her on what she was up to that week. I would hate to be limited to weekend visitation rights with my own flesh and blood. I cant even imagine what that would be like to know that you are unable to see your own child whenever you want to. anyhoo the little girl was definitely hapa. She even spoke like me.. it was crazy.

So works been pretty difficult lately but at the end of my orange chicken meal I opened my fortune cookie and low and behold “Make those special talents you have work like a charm.” I honestly think this is the best fortune I’ve gotten in a long time! Yippyskippy!

Theres this really, really good artist. He has 2 daughters.
To nurture their creativity, he threw away all their toys and told them
that if they wanted to play with something, they would have to make it.
How awesome of an idea is that? Let the creative juices flow!
I am soooo stealing that idea.

hit up the cuzzi today with two awesome friends,
a beautiful full moon and three glasses of white riesling.

Remember when it was cool
to put those glow in the dark stars on your ceiling?
Sometimes I wish I could be 16 in high school,
staring up at those glow in the dark stickers again,
without a care in the world.
Wouldn’t that be grand?

Pg 44 of Reaching the Top of Your Game by Patricia M. Sherlock

Whatever happened to “being that shoulder to cry on” You know.. the person you go to when you need to talk and all you want them to do is listen.. yup just LISTEN that’s it!

It seems to me in this day and age that things are so fast paced that we neglect to take time out to really acknowledge another person’s feelings. The second something is not what you want to hear you immediately rebuttal with “why are you taking it out on me?” or “now you’re making me upset.” All of a sudden you feel EVEN WORSE than you did when you first started the conversation when all you really needed was someone to LISTEN!

Scenario. I’m talking with my mom on the phone.. just simply returning her call, shooting the shit for a little, seeing whats new. So she tells me theres this “cool new preebie thing at knotts berry parm” I think in my head… “whats a preebie? And I didn’t know it was a parmmmm?” anyhow her little Filipino accent amused me and she seemed quite excited to tell me that at her work they are offering free entrance to the theme park and she wants me to take adBantage of it.. haha (side note: Filipinos cant pronounce their F’s and V’s.. somehow they magically turn into P’s and B’s respectively.) anyhow.. she asks me about my new job and blah blah blah.. then we get into me wanting to get into a new car. So if you know me, you KNOWWWW that I have always taken care of myself and always worked hard for everything I have. So I decided to just throw it out there and see if she would want to break me off a little and help me with a down payment.. she got all flustered and started talking about how she wasn’t done paying off my sister’s car yet (p.s. my sister sold it.. my mom doesn’t know that though..) and how she’s planning on going to the Philippines soon so she was saving so now wasn’t a good time. Being the level headed daughter I am, I replied, “no problem mom, I’ll just work for it myself ..” thinking that would take that weight off her shoulders.. ya that didn’t make her too happy. It actually ended up the exact opposite.. She started getting all over emotional spitting out stuff like “you’re so impatient, you’re making me upset, why’d you have to ruin my day, I’m not a good mother…and the list goes on and on”.. it just urks me that my sister always claims that my mother favors me but in reality she is the one that gets everything she wants.. argh.

So sorry I had to vent but I didn’t really want to talk to someone and hear “so then why are you taking it out on me?”.. I just called someone to vent and got that so I don’t need to hear it again.

Thank you for your time, have a super day!
p.s. phew.. that feels a lot better now.

Guys:
If you’re on a first date, never begin a sentence with “my mom.” Trust me, the girl you are dating does not want a mental picture of your mom while she’s kissing you. eww groddie.

Coworkers:
Never start a sentence with “at my old job” cuz lets be serious here.. no one gives a flying fuck about your old job.. that’s why you’re here at your new one sheeeeeeeeeeez.

This put a super big smile on my face.. check out the message I got today : )

okay so I had some realizations today (don't know if realization IS a word, but hey it sounded good)

so I had this dilemma... BOYS why are they here, and why do we like them (to an extent)

and for some reason "i take each day with a grain of salt" popped into my head, and I didn't know what it meant... so I decided HEy, I should look it up, and I did..

your little journal popped up.. so I glanced at it, only to realize 20 minutes had gone by and i was now staring and really reading it... I like your style.. I like your grace...

I wanna say "your words are the shit" and you have so much to say.... :)

I noticed you talked about myspace and I clicked on the link, and here I am..

so don't find me too wierd to say "you are inspiring, and funny as hell" good words!

hope that this journal is ongoing.. so if the day isn't quite right for me. I can go to it... and laugh or feel inspired! thank you

Its things like this that make you keep chugging when the glass is half empty.
Thanks for actually taking the time to read my nonsense! You’re awesome.

So here’s the deal. For those of you who don’t already know, I got a new job. Yes it is true. Eileen has succumbed to the masses and has joined the mortgage industry. Yup.. starbucks coffee and a bagel in the morning, casual Fridays, and the Tuesday morning huddle aka the company meeting... ugh. I no longer utilize my jean collection its sad.. very very sad… anyhow I haven’t been able to update this ish in forever but have no fear my dears.. I have been taking diligent notes in class. Instead of separating all the thoughts into the days in which they caught my attention, I have decided to give you a good 5 minutes of reading below all accumulated on scraps of paper and torn off napkins… so here goes in no particular order or train of thought.

You know you are getting old when you start wearing your pants above your beer belly.

You should always deliver good news fast and bad news faster.

“dirty deeds done quick”.. haha say that ten times fast!

there is no such thing as a free lunch

Conversation at Taco Factory: “Wow, I cant believe you said that. It goes in this order. You THINK, you FEEL, then you SAY. If you were able to SAY what you just said then you must have THOUGHT it was important and FELT the need to say it… ouch” ((can you believe that came out of my mouth? Wow I was deep that day))

An F is a one legged A.

Timid Sales People have skinny children.

If times got rough, turn the gas on and hold the kids tight.

I took a shower under a waterfall today and tried to soak up as much as I could.

Shark Theory: you can only grow as big as your tank. Well then set me free in the ocean where the possibilities are endless.

Who here knows something about something?

Any questions? No? if you had one what would it be?

How are you today? Any better and it would be a sin.
How are you today? Any better and I’d be changing in a phone booth.
How are you today? Any better and I’d be you.

Confidence is sexy. That…. and a guy that can cook a steak. Yum.

Lies are a temporary escape. Key word=temporary.
If I only learn one thing in this world, at least it would be one more thing than I know now.

I gotta read “Who moved my cheese”

Luck is for people with no self confidence.

Exceptions are the grey in a black and white world.

So im in carls jr refilling my super mega size 3 gallon cup of coke and as I pass by this table of old dudes I hear:
“Man Bob.. you gotsta relax this weekend.. you seem all tense and shit… You gotta get yo’self one of them thangs (points to eileen as she walks by) you can spank that thing all day long.”
[Needless to say I was extremely disgusted.. but you cant help but chuckle at their ignorance.]

And last but not least…… drum roll please:
Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result everytime. With that, I plead insanity!

Friday, October 14, 2005
i cant even remember what SEXTION im on now and im too damn lazy to look so just consider this more bang for the buck...

1. Bolsa Heels. I absolutely detest girls that wear bolsa heels. If you are not familiar with “Bolsa” let me extrapolate. “Bolsa” is a street located in Westminster, home to the Asian Garden Mall. This indoor asian flea market kinda swap meet errr.. I duno how to describe it but its one of those places like chinatown where you can get a luis vuitton purse for $20 and a trance rave mix cd with a pokemon sticker on it by dj chinky thuggish rugster rice rocket for $5. (ha.. I just made myself laugh sorry…) anyhow.. Freakin wannabe broke down gogo dancer with her 4 inch thick ass clear heels stepped on my fucking foot. So remember how the right ankle was busted? Well bullseye on the left one now. Grr tiger. I wanna slap that skeet and say “move bitch get out the way, get out the way, get out the way...” ARRGGGH!!

2. 6 inch skirts. When I was eighteen I remember wearing booty shorts when I went clubbing. Yah you know the shorts where your ass cheeks kinda hang out. But that was when I was eighteen, played 5 hours of tennis every day and had a rock hard “you cant handle this shit” kinda ass. Seven years, later I have now become witness to the next generation of clubbing attire. We shall call it the six inch skirt. Honestly I don’t even know where these chicks buy this shit cuz I have for sure never seen it at the mall when I cruise around shopping. Girls straight up wear this little piece of cloth around their waist that does little to cover up the goods. Then they get smashed and climb up on the stage like a rock star and start gyrating as if there was an imaginary hot guy trying to sex em up. um yah not happening. I kinda felt like I was at a cheap strip joint cuz I definitely saw ass cheeks, a rainbow of colored thong undies and some nipplage here and there. But the one chick that wins the 6 inch skirt award for the night wasn’t exactly wearing a six inch skirt. I saw her walk across the room like a flash of light. I was stunned for a second holding back the drool that was about to drip from my lip.. It was more like she was wearing a bra, a belt, a string for underwear, a bottle of bleach that fell in her hair and oh yah don’t forget the glitter lotion all over her body. I held my breath as she turned around and UGHHHHHHH her face was so broke down even Triple A wouldn’t come and tow that shit away. She must have been at least 35 and we were at an 18 and over club.. that’s like twice the mode age of everyone in the club. And her feet … oh my gwarssshhhh… one word of advice for her.. PEDICURE.. !! damn girl .. youre gonna spend all that money on your tits you better go get that toe jam chiseled off those moldy toes of yours.. blahhhyuckpuckkkk.. ok im done. I cant think of that anymore im gonna barf.

3. guest list. I never understood the guest list. History suggests that the advent of the guest list provided an accelerated entrance to a club, extended to the elite or V.I.P. people that decide to attend the event. Clubs nowadays have taken that idea to the next level. Why is it that you roll up to a club and it seems like the guest list is 5 times longer than the regular line. And why is it that the bouncers will scavenger the line to find groups of girls and herd them in like cattle making all the rest of us wait. Reality check: really hot girls NEVER EVER EVER travel in herds. They are usually lone rangers or needles in a haystack if you will. But then again I guess it doesn’t really matter if the groups of girls are ugly or not because they all have tits and ass and in the dark you cant see much of their faces anyways.. so to all the guys out there, be advised to roam the club in caution or you may be bamboozled by the tits and ass and wake up to the lochness monster the morning after.

Im cutting onions and squish straight through my middle finger’s nail bed. Its was disgusting. Blood was gushing out so I smacked a bandaid on there and in less than a minute the band aid was soaked through. I had to put gauze on it and apply pressure until the gauze soaked up too. So here I am typing feeling like a super oober gimp with an ankle that has still not healed completely and a left middle finger that cant push down on the keyboard right.

I saw “The Jacket” tonight. It was a really good movie. Kinda trippy but keira knightly is hot in it. She has that sultry crack addict but still looks hot thing goin on. I recommend it if you haven’t seen it yet.

Transient Insomnia. I don’t think I have slept one full night in the past year. I wake up at least 2-3 times a night to tinkle or because I had a nightmare. So I did what any normal 24 year old would do. I went to Rite Aid and bought Tylenol Sleep Aid. I took it for the first time a couple of weeks ago and it wigged me out. Completely flipped me upside down like I was at a rave dropping some crazy mdma.. not that I have done that before or anything coughcough but ummm.. yah I got all jittery and had an anxiety attack.. I think I even wrote about it.. well anyhows.. I took it again last week figuring maybe the second time around would drift me off to wonderland and the same shit happened. My arms felt like they couldn’t stay still and my eyes almost hurt if I shut them for longer than 2 seconds. It was a waking nightmare. its 2:06am right now and I was debating whether to go for round 3 and risk it but came to the conclusion that I would be completely retarded to take that stuff again. I don’t understand how the box says you can get addicted because it made me more paranoid than relaxed. What to do what to do.. google it.

1. Count sheep. Um no thanks for some reason I imagine them in my head but I start smelling them in my head too.. groddie.
2. Drink warm milk. Um lactose intolerent. Next please
3. Imagine something boring. Um so im imagining myself and ya it didn’t work.
4. Rub tummy. Um rubbed the tumtum and no dice.
5. Quiet ears. Lie on your back with your hands behind your head, fingers interlocked, and your palms cupping the back of your head. Place your thumbs in your ears so that you are pressing the outer flap of your ear and blocking the entrance to the ear canal. Lie quietly and listen for a high-pitched sound that you will gradually hear inside your head. Lie there for 10 to 15 minutes and concentrate on that sound. Then put your arms to your sides and go to sleep. Um sorry buddy but I just hear ringing in my ears.
6. Toe wiggling. Um whaa? No joke.. check it
http://www.well.com/user/mick/insomnia/insomnia.15.html
“When you wiggle your toes, you are stimulating -- and thus relaxing -- your entire body” that is so rad.. you gotta try it. It actually is pretty relaxing.

The time is 2:15am and a freight train just passed by. They seriously plan when they are going to honk the horn. The conductor looks out his little window, pinpoints where I live and honks that ish till he’s blue in the face. I hate you conductor.. with a passion.

I probably should be really stoked right now. My unemployment or shall I say my home security job will cease on October 24th. Yup I got a job. While some may revel in this gratification, I on the other hand despise it. Its not that I don’t want to work, just that I told myself I wouldn’t work somewhere I wasn’t happy with anymore or work somewhere just for the money. I guess I have thrown both of those hopes straight down the shitter. That’s right folks I sold my soul to the mortgage industry. Or at least not yet. Not until they do a complete criminal background check on me and confirm that there is nothing egregious in my past. Hopefully they wont dig up anything about the time I held up that porn store and stole all their blow up dolls or the time I snuck into 2 movies and only paid for one ticket. Yup im a rebel I like to live life on the edge. So now I have 24 days left of my vacation.. what the hell is there to do in orange county?

You never really pay attention to disasters in this world until you receive a hysterical phone call from your mom saying that the sky is black and the house that you grew up in is about to be swallowed up by a fire. The worst part about tragedies like these is that you can’t do anything about it. Helplessness is the worst.

drag my feet in their misery,
always one step behind.

After a field test that some of you may have participated in, I have come to the conclusion that the person you want never ever wants you back. Its tough but it’s a reality. We all want what we can’t have and sometimes our sights for them get a little clouded and the chase gets heated simply because they are not reciprocating.

As cheeseball as it may seem I want to be someone’s everything. I want someone to want me as much as I want them. Even though you cant have your crush, you shouldn’t have to settle for less.. and sometimes less is not only based on looks.. less can also mean getting less…be it less emotion, less caring, less feeling… just less.

It's strange to think that we can sit here and write down who are crushes are and at the same time there is someone out there that may be listing you as their crush and you would never ever know it. You could be someone’s everything but be alone sulking over not getting YOUR everything. What a horrible predicament.

I had 3 nightmares last night.

Dream One:
I was working at a retail store as manager. It was morning time and I was opening up shop. When I entered the store there were 10 dead bodies hanging from the ceiling dispersed throughout the store. All people that I recognized. I freaked out and started calling 911. then one of my sales girls comes in and starts crying saying that her ex-boyfriend did it. I asked how did she know? And she said because he’s standing right there.. I froze and she took out a gun and shot him. then im sitting in a car next to her apparently on the way to the police station and I feel a hand on my side coming from the back seat and its her boyfriend all bloody and stuff lying back there.. I freak out and think “how fuckin stupid is she to drag his ass into the car with us thinking he is dead but he really wasn’t”. so I jumped out of the car on the freeway and I got hit by another on coming car. I died. Needless to say I woke up in a pool of my own sweat, drank some water, and was able to fall asleep again thirty minutes later.

Dream Two:
I’m at the house that I grew up in as a child. It was a creepy house, very dark with one long hallway that I was always afraid of. I would run down that hallway because I always felt like something was behind me. im in one of the bedrooms, the one that used to be my grandma’s and im part of some sting operation or something. I have wires all over my chest. Im sitting on the bed across from one of my friends from college. It’s weird because it wasn’t anyone in particular.. more so that I just had it in my mind that I knew him from college. Apparently he is evil and is trying to kill me. I sit there shaking wondering when I should call out the magic code word for all the cops to come in and bust his ass. He tries to make a move on me and I scream out the word but no one comes.. I run for the door but its locked so he grabs me by the hair and throws me down on the ground as if he’s about to rape me. I cry and scream but no one can hear me. I kick on the door but he’s too strong and has this crazy grip on me. I finally manage to kick the door down and run into my parents old bedroom and lock myself into the bathroom. Then I start to think “how fuckin stupid am I to lock myself in a bathroom with no way out while some psycho dude who is trying to rape me is outside trying to barge the door down.” I go Rambo style and push open the door.. it hits him and I run down the long scary hallway through the living room and into the kitchen where I see all the computers and shit that the cops, who were supposed to help me, left behind. I remembered windows in the kitchen but this time there were none. Scary guy is in the kitchen now and corners me into the pantry. We had a big pantry at that house.. I was always afraid of it and there I was cornered in it. He walked towards me and ripped my blouse and hiked up my skirt and I woke up in a pool of my own sweat, drank some water and was able to fall asleep again soon after.

Dream Three:
I am walking through the neighborhood I live in now and it is completely abandoned. It is quiet and the sun is stuck in about to rise position. There is no train passing by and no cars on jamboree. I hop on my bike and go to ants house and the door is open but there is no furniture in there. It is bare as if no one had ever lived there. I run to the stairs on the second floor and look into the mirror he has at the bottom and I cant see myself in it. I have no reflection. I run out and hop on my bike again headed for home. There are no cars, no kids on razors, no people walking their dogs. i run up the stairs into my bedroom and decide to take a bath. I turn on the water a thick red substance spews out. Its blood. I go onto the balcony on the second floor and jump off. Before I hit the ground I wake up in a pool of my own sweat for the third time. I go wash my face. Drink some more water and was able to fall asleep again.

Im not really this dark and morbid.. I don’t know what the hell came over my dreams last night but it was gnarly. I almost didn’t want to go back to sleep because I was afraid I was going to have another nightmare.

Beer #4 is when I usually start to get little tipsy. My body feels a lot more relaxed and my eyes take approximately 1.6 seconds to focus on every new object that I glance at. Thoughts get a lot less dreary and all I can think of is eating. I want to eat yummy food. Food that makes me happy. Different food, something new that I have yet to try. The slow jams start shuffling on repeat and I start to ponder… what a sappy drunkard ei am..

free your mind
and ideas will follow.
you don’t have to be an artist to know
there’s magic in letting go
and throwing down lines,
letting your subconscious drive for awhile.
it’s an ideal way to discover ideas,
be playful and quash the inner critic.

SEXTION E
1. girls don’t ever vent your frustrations to a guy via email. I am absolutely 100% without a doubt positive that as soon as he is done reading your bitching and moaning email that he will forward it to every single one of his homies, his coworkers and hell even people he hasn’t talked to or seen in a couple years. Then once those people get it, they will forward it to their friends etc. etc. you get the drift. You have single handedly just made yourself look like an absolute idiot. You will be the topic of lunch conversation and possibly dinner conversation for those that weren’t able to read the email at work. Congratulations for acting a fool. Word of advice, once you click send there is no turning back. At least yell at him face to face, that way there is no evidence.. unless of course he has an iTalk and recorded it. At that point someone will make a website of your stupid ass as seen in Exhibit A: http://www.purevolume.com/troysmixtapeoflove .

2. guys don’t ever record yourself making kissing noises, singing a kc and jojo song or saying “I love you” one hundred billion times for your girlfriend. You are such a fuckin fagnut. Please refer to Exhibit A. Three days after making this tape she broke up with his loser ass.

3. guy rule #1 at a club. Never ever ever buy a chick a drink unless:
a) she is your friendgirl and her name is eileen OR
b) you have seen her in the light and still find her attractive.

4. Girls you may have a hot little body and some tig-o-bitties but damn use some listerine, floss, chew on gum or some shit before going to a club. Whatever it takes to get that grimy stench out yo mouth. No one wants to smell your stank breath while bumping and grinding on the dance floor. We shall call these girls “Bunny’s”. Yes there are really girls out there named Bunny.

5. guys if you have a hard on while dancing with a chick be kind, please rewind and back yourself up out of her buttox region. You may think that she can’t tell that you are in full erect position but here’s a little secret: WE CAN TELL WHEN YOU HAVE A CHUBBY! Personally I don’t really like being poked by a woodpecker while getting my groove on the dance floor. Tame your beast and let him come out to play when you return to your cave.

6. FINE FINE.. i guess the guy side of me needs to add : girls.. if you are gonna grind on some dude you better expect a little pokeypokey. but hey look at it this way.. isnt it better that you can feel it? at least it means its gigante enough to make its way through his jeans right?!

Another humbling moment.
I was at work early today for the first time ever and a Teamquest worker came in because my warehouse manager forgot to sign his time card. If you don’t know what teamquest is its one of those temp agencies where we hire warehouse workers for the day just to unload our products when the inventory comes from the port. my coworkers and I are heartless meanies when it comes to them since none of em really speak English and they kinda lop around and don’t work too hard. Yah we’re such cracker bigots to a certain extent which we really shouldn’t be because at least they are working and making money rather than chillin at home getting unemployment. Anyhows .. so he comes in and totally speaks English like better than me. He’s super nice and as Im looking for his paperwork to verify that he in fact did work that day we started chatting a bit. He said he had come in last week too but no one was here so he wanted to get it signed.. he knows it is only four hours but hey its better than nothing.. (fyi 4 hours at $10/hr.. do the math) then he started talking about how he had to go paint his neighbors house cuz they were gonna give him $100 and he’s trying to save up to throw his daughter a birthday shindig.. wow ouch. I don’t know if he was throwing a pity party at me but damn I was like wow. He actually didn’t need to throw a pity story though because its not like I could have paid him anymore so deep down inside I know he was telling the truth. Just makes me think how I can go out with my friends on a Friday night and blow $100 on drinks and food and here there is someone that is willing to paint a whole freakin house for $100. shoot I don’t know if I would even paint a whole house if someone paid me $1000. so stop and think before wallowing in your sorrow of not being able to buy those cool nike dunks you want off ebay or those diesel jeans that are all ripped up like someone ran over em ten times... sometimes seeing a smile on your daughters face is worth painting a house.

SEXTION D
Theoretical Boobage

1. I have come to the conclusion that many girls get fake titties simply to compensate for their ugly faces. No matter how butt gross ugly she may be, attention is immediately drawn to the top heavy silicon juggies that are squeezed into the extra small shirts they try to rock. This gets kinda nasty when they’ve got some spare tire fat action spilling over their two sizes too small jeans. Sorry chick… even big titties wont hide that shit.

2. Im not hating all fake boobs though. There are a small percentage of HOT girls that invest in fake boobs.... fuck aint nothing wrong with that. I see it as increasing their stock, expanding their assets. Just beware of these types of girls because fake titties or not, every ripe fruit has an expiration date. Just picture magda from something about mary.. ewww :shudder: those are some titties gone wrong.. way wrong.

3. And dude seriouslyyyyyyy.. if you’re gonna flaunt ur titties and have your nipple in complete cold erect mode poking out your halter top all day long, don’t get pissed when you catch people staring. I'm going to stare, the guy next to me is going to stare and every single person you walk by is gonna freakin stare. If you didn’t want people to stare at your tits then don’t wear a fuckin see through shirt without a bra! Stop your whining and be stoked that you are getting the attention you paid for.

4. Guys never ever everrrrrrrr and ever everrrrr buy your girlfriend fake titties. The second they heal and are ready for action she is definitely without a doubt gonna leave your ass and youre gonna be stuck with her titty bill. Don’t be a dumbass.. if you want a girl that has big titties then go find one whos ex boyfriend has ALREADY paid for them. it’s a win win situation and now you got the titties without having to pick up the tab.

5. Titty Cost Breakdown. If state of the art fake boobies cost approx. $5k, consider this… if each glance or a stare at the jugs was equivalent to 5cents, and each time you flashed em or told someone to touch em just to see what fake titties really feel like was equivalent to 10cents then you would have your ish paid off in no time. Its kinda like the saying.. If I had a nickel for everytime you said “insert phrase here” I would be a millionaire.. so flash them titties and make them worth the big dent in your bank account..

6. But on an honest note, I don’t get why guys will always claim that real boobs are nicer. The girl side of me thinks that they just wouldn’t want their chick to have fake titties with all the dudes drooling over their girl. Big ego booster for her man in the bedroom but unwanted attention when they are out in public. I think that guys only say that real boobs are better in front of girls with real (small) boobs just to make them feel better about themselves but deep down inside the guys would totally dig playing with the fakies. I cant even count how many times I have heard the comment “but there is only so much you could do with fake tits” Umm I beg to differ.. I think there would be a whole freakin lot of things you could do with big titties.. like whip cream, naughty lingerie etc.. but I wont get into that.. maybe in a future Sextion. All in all I don’t think fakies would be that bad.. hey, id look better in a bathing suit.. I could wear that sexy nurse outfit I have stuffed in the bottom of my drawer.. but on the reals when it comes down to it I don’t think I could deal with the unwanted attention.. I would want someone to love me for me not because of my tig-o-bitties. I guess I gotta do it the natural way.. so here goes.. “dear god.. why do you hate me so much? please please please break me off some.. I must I must increase my bust!”

NEW ADDED SEXTION C:
So I conducted a field test last night at a local Thursday venue some of you may know as 330 in Brea. Some observations:

1. Sextion B #4 proven to be correct on many accounts. Seriously you ugly ass trick.. you are like “the back up to the back up to the back up plan”. don’t be wearing those white spandex bolsa pants with your 99cent torn up thong underwear and fatty ass love handles sticking out the sides and think you are hot shit…. And the cherry on top comments I heard last night were classic.. “we’re lesbian.. we don’t want to dance with boys..” umm reality check for ya homegirl.. you are only claiming to be lesbian because there are no boys that want to dance with YOU and your UGLY friends. And the other comment was “we don’t go for asian guys” I almost threw up and swallowed it after I heard that.. for all of you that may not have heard of or been to 330 in brea it is 99.9% filled with asian people.. the other .1% is the one bartender that looks like the singer from All American Rejects. So seriously girls.. if you are gonna try to pull the line that you don’t go for asian guys why the hellllllllllll are you going to 330?

2. Voted best pick up line by eileenszymanski.com “Hey I think I’ve seen you on myspace before!” For all the boys out there this one is a sure conversation starter.. this line can easily be followed by.. “ya I like that one picture.. you know the one of yourself… and that song on your page rocks.” Don’t worry about never having seen her page before because she is drunk and it is a certainty that she has a picture of herself and a song playing on her page.

3. Bathroom Talk. This is what I hear while waiting in line to tinkle at a club. “oh my god he is soooo gross and he asked me to dance and I was like helll no” ”did you see that bitch? Ya that’s the one he’s with now. She is so ugly I don’t know what he sees in her.” “do you think he’s cute? Im so drunk I cant tell” “no they aren’t real do you want to touch” “are you okay in there? Do you need water?” “dude my ex is here” “hey can you hand me some toilet paper please? this stall is out” “I am sooooooo fucking drunk” “hurry up fuck I gotta take a piss” moral of the story.. girls have potty mouths.

4. guys carrying around your helmet for your motorcycle around the club is not sexy and doesn’t make the girls want to pounce you any more than they would if you weren’t carrying it around.

5. more guy bashing. Having a mullet where the tail is dyed blond is not hot. Sorry. Its just a waste of bleach if you ask me.

6. white people sweat a bus load. Trust me im part white and if im getting my boogie on i should hire a hot towel boy cuz ima be dripping by the end of the night. [pun intended]

7. how many times can the dj play gwen steffani’s “this shit is bananas B-A-N-A-N-A-S” I know im drunk but I can still spell and count how many times you played that freakin song.

So some have said im a hater but I would rather think of myself as an observer. This is just me and what I see. Should you have a valid argument to contradict my observations, please feel free to debate in the provided the contact section. Thank you spank you. have a wonderiffic day!

Today marks a profound and bittersweet milestone for us, as we bear witness to both an end and a beginning. And while we must continue on, we must also be grateful to have been blessed with something that has so ably guided us to where we are today. When there has been so much love and happiness for something, it is natural to be reluctant to close such a wonderful chapter in our lives, for moving forward is rarely accomplished without considerable grief and sadness. And while our sorrow may be profound, the clouds will clear, and the sun will shine on us again. And in that warm, bright light we will find ourselves facing a glorious future. A future of exciting challenges and infinite possibilities, in which the horizon will stretch out before us, trimmed in the heavenly glow of the sunrise of our tomorrow.

the prince and me.

I figured out what a “blog” is. It is short for “web log” woohoooo..

 

Tuesday, August 23, 2005
Sparky’s back
Just a little insight
will make things right

Sextion A:
1. Word of advice to all of the sweet and nice girls out there. if a guy says he doesn’t want to be in a relationship right now he really means that he just doesn’t want to be in a relationship with YOU right now but he’ll have sex and hang out with you until he finds someone better.

2. when a guy says he doesn’t want the title of boyfriend and girlfriend because he likes the way things are right now and doesn’t want to mess them up it really means that he likes having sex with and hanging out with you but doesn’t want to say he has a “girlfriend” to a hot chick when he goes out with the boys.

3. when a guy describes a girl as “really nice” she’s ugly.

4. when a guy says a girl is “girlfriend material” she’s ugly. Okay maybe not completely ugly just not something that would make you look twice. Plus she’s really nice. (see item#3)

5. if a guy really likes you he won’t talk about having sex with you to his guy friends. He wouldn’t want them to even try to imagine or fantasize you being naked. If he doesn’t like you then trust me everyone knows the play by play details on how many times/where/when you guys boned. p.s. all his guy friends imagine you naked when you see them.

6. if he wants to make it a blockbuster night there are two possibilities to this. a) he wouldn’t be caught dead with you in public. b) he wants to bone, I mean do you really think he wants to watch “the notebook ” for the bilionth time?

Sextion B:
im not a complete guy basher though. I have a lot of guy friends and the guy side of eileen made me have some insight yesterday as well.

1. guys.. don’t wait for the 3 day rule to call a girl back. Call her back in 2 days.. because she’ll be expecting you to call on the third.. calling her in 2 is a pleasant surprise .. means your interested but not hung up on her.. mysterious yet sincere.

2. the best way to learn about someone is to take them to a buffet. You will surprisingly find out a lot about them by studying their mannerisms and taste. I don’t know about you but food is major when coming to a relationship!

3. girls don’t give your phone number to a guy if you are planning on avoiding his calls when he finally does get enough balls to contact you. That’s just plain mean. You are a smelly pirate hooker! You look like a blueberry! Why don't you go back to your home on Whore Island! Oh and… you have bad hair. [anchorman lol. Sorry couldn’t help it]

4. girls if a dude comes up to you at a club, he didn’t come up to you because you are the hottest chick there, he came up to you because you are less intimidating than the hottest chick there that he REALLY wanted to go up to. so stop acting like a bitch and talk to him.. you aint all that and should be stoked some dude even came up to you in the first place. p.s. these type of girls should try to avoid light in a club if at all possible. Once the lights turn on that dude will definitely be peacing out on your ugly ass.

5. parking lot pimping. Very similar to item#4. girls if you get pimped in the parking lot its not what you may think. He wasn’t following you around the club and admiring you from afar in hopes of gaining enough courage to ask you for your hand in a dance like the prince charming you are dreaming about. Fuck no. he is fuckin drunk and wants to bone. Anything everything. Shoot if I had a dick and I was single I would want to take some chick home and get my horizontal mambo on too so I could at least feel accomplished for the night and tell all my guy friends the play by play details about the sexcapade. (see item#5 in sextion A above.)

And of course the grand finale.. The Rule of Thirds.
Being an artist by trade, one of the most popular 'rules' in photography is the Rule Of Thirds. It works like this: Imaginary lines are drawn dividing an image into thirds both horizontally and vertically. You place important elements of your composition where these lines intersect.

Using the Rule of Thirds you have to position things relative to the edges of the frame, it helps get rid of “tiny subject surrounded by vast empty space” syndrome in order to produce nicely balanced pictures.

This is absolutely NOT what I am really referring to. The Rule of Thirds that I am really talking about is the one about boys and girls thanks to American Pie 2. (yes I watch a lot of movies.. we have tivo now.. im addicted)

The Rule of Thirds is when a girl says she has had sex with “insert number here” of guys, multiply it by three and that is the actual number of dudes she has boned. On the other hand when a dude says he has nailed “insert number here” girls, divide it by three and that is in fact the actual notches he holds on his headboard. Should the number divide unevenly, round down because honestly.. your right and left hand don’t count in your grand total. Even if you are ambidextrous.

Hope this provides a little more insight to the difference between girls and boys.. and if it didn’t
fuck you.. you didn’t have to read this shit anyways.

wow im harsh today. I think work is getting to me………………….

the greatest pain is to look into someone’s eyes and see emptiness.

a life one has not lived, not because they were never given the opportunity but because they have cautiously chosen not to. ignorant avoidance of moving forward. the risk of getting hurt on a road that is forked in divergence of the known.

the past may make a person but it is the future that completes them.

Something all men should understand:
Pick the right one to be in the foxhole with
and then when you're outside of the foxhole,
keep your dick in your pants.

i had super major anxiety attack yesterday. it was a trip. i couldnt sleep for the life of me. i kept tossing and turning. i even tried to sleep upside down with my feet where my head should be and i couldnt do it. i must've tinkled about 7 times. everytime i closed my eyes i felt like i was on a swing with my head swung back in that weird tummy dropping euphoria state just in this case it wasnt quite euphoric. it was more like being possessed by the spirits of the ouija board past. we were talking about the ouija board today. i dont know if it conjured up bad memories of my past or if i was tripping or being a complete panzzzzzzeeeeeeeee but argh so i finally filled the bathtub with crazy hot water to calm myself down. oddly enough after an hour sitting in the tub staring at the ceiling i was able to get in my jammies and fall asleep. by this time the sun came up and i had about 2 hours until work. what a sucky night.

Does that piece of paper really matter all that much. Do those three letters in the alphabet that show proof of a higher level of education really get you that much further in life? All the material things in the world don’t matter if they fail to bring a smile to your face at the end of the day. I wonder what percentage of the world’s population actually loves what they do. Love, what a strong word.

I read in the Orange County Business Journal today that surf, skate, snow is a multi-billion dollar industry now. It’s a mystery then why the hardest working people in that industry make $15/hr if that. I must say that it is quite noble that one of the major players in that world still resides in a trailer in laguna beach. That must be the life. Living in a trailer at the oceans doorstep and owning a million dollar clothing company. Sigh.

3am every night on the dot. That’s when the walls start to shake and the ground starts to rumble. As the train honks its horn and zooms by, I wonder how the heck these Irvine townhomes that are so close to the train tracks can be worth half a million dollars and are increasing in value every day at an exponential rate. Go figure.

I had dinner with my best friend tonight. She called me out of the blue wanting to meet up. I dropped everything and jumped on the opportunity to see her. She is a beautiful woman. I remember the first day I met her was at orientation for 7th grade at hillside junior high. Her mom, being the social butterfly she is, came up to my mom and said “hoy, Filipino ka ba?” .. and so it began. She wore the neato-ist maroon chucks and believe it or not I was shorter than her.. no joke. We used to get different color rubber bands on our braces to match what we were wearing, we used to take pictures at sears because we thought we were cool little asian gangsters, we used to wear huge ass pants and steal at the mall.. err actually I was the good one that stayed at summer school while they all went to meet up the boys in the valley. We went through confirmation together and watched the scary video that freaks you out into never having premarital sex ever ever ever. We fell asleep in the bleachers at a rave and stuck our heads in her grimy, sludgy fish tank after one too many shots of jose cuervo and a game of truth or dare. I’ve felt her boobies. They are quite nice. I’ve cleaned up her throw up once and she’s cleaned up mine many many times. She has the raddest fashion sense. I always adored her keen style. She has great taste in music and is probably who I should thank for keeping me in tune with the hip hop I don’t want to stop scene. Don’t let her gullible shell fool you, this girl is extremely intelligent and can accomplish anything if she puts her mind to it. she wont let anything hold her back and will keep trying until she gets what she wants. April is an amazing person and although our paths have skewed in different directions the past couple of years, she will always be the one I will call with the latest gossip and one day she better throw my raging bachelorette party w00tw00t.

And the one that wonders what happened.

after it was done i wondered what the fuck happened.

Seashells, a plastic dinosaur, and a miniature yellow dumptruck are some of the items that are for sale in the display case at wimpys submarines. You cant beat a roast beef sandwich and a corona for lunch there. That’s how we do… its nice to know that my boss wont get mad for drinking a beer during my lunchbreak since technically I am my own boss... The little Korean lady never remembers me. Every time I go there she asks for my id and every single time she replies.. “oh you look so young.. I so sorry”… its cute. As I was waiting for my grub behind the Budweiser “the party’s over here” streamers, 2 guys walked in and I couldn’t help but eavesdrop on their conversation since we were the only people in the entire joint.

From 58 miles below the border of mexico all the way to 58 miles below the border of Canada. That’s where this guys new house on an 800 acre plot of land was going to be completed in 3 days. “I’m gonna watch the sunrise on my porch and watch the sun set in my backyard.” Kills all the hypocritical assumptions one can make. I guess this is the land where dreams do come true.

Going through heartsickness alone is like having brain surgery without anesthesia.

Curiosity killed the cat and I read..
"..new dilemma presented, no longer the sole subject of her glance."
it's like my favorite quote ever "i breathe by your looks, but you look right through me"

You could either sit there and wallow in the loss or you can succumb to the reality that you should not live for someone.. you should live for yourself. you are both your biggest critic and your biggest fan. things tend to fall into place over time.. timing is everything.

"I'd throw away all the technology in the world in return for that simple and long-forgotten joy of hearing the "beep-beep-beep" coming from my pocket... and seeing those three digital numbers on the screen... 823"

sigh: if things could only be this simple again.

All morning long people have been calling me asking for Anna. What the freak?!?! After the 6th phone call I asked the guy where he was calling from and he said that someone by the name of Anna had filled out an online application and typed in my cell phone number as her daytime phone. so this online application ended up getting blasted to just about every freakin mortgage company nationwide or some ish.. arGHGHghghgh.. darn you ANNA!

I was at the court house today and it was almost like chicken little because I think the sky fell on me…. or maybe it was the bum I tripped over on my way to the county recorders office. So here’s how it went down… as usual I was in a super rush to finish the millions of things I needed to do today all in the span of 30 mins. I was shuffling intently through my notary public folder to make sure I had all my documents in order to take the oath today and make it official. I guess the blond is really getting to me but I totally tripped on some dude that was laying on the ground. I felt so bad you cannot even believe how bad I felt. But seriously there should be signs designating where you can lay down and take a 3pm nap. He was literally blocking the sidewalk path to my destination. Luckily he was chill about it and asked if I had any money.. I rummaged frantically through my purse and thought.. ‘I wonder if he takes atm?’

As I walked back to my car, I made it a point to walk on the complete other side of him.. then I noticed he was no longer there.. a crowd of them had formed around a little stand and they were getting free foooooood! That’s when I kind fumed out the ears. Don’t get me wrong, I am as sensitive as the next person about the diverse economic dynamics of our society but geepers, if I could take a nap at 3pm and get free food every day what the hell am I doing working so hard trying to make ends meet?!

It has come to my attention that I have not posted new tunes in a very very long time. There are two reasons for this..

1. I’m selfish. yup selfish. plain and simple.. selfish. I don’t want to share. There are honestly a select few that get to receive the “eileen song of the day/week”… sorry life’s tough.

2. I am freaking lazy. My mp3s are so unbelievably unorganized that I think I have about 6 folders titled “New Mp3s” the first one created dates back to 1998 when napster still ruled.. I even got a new external hard drive as a present (thank you spank you) and tried to transfer all my mp3s to start organizing it using itunes but there were just too damn many! Arghghghg.. if there is anyone out there <coughJIMMYcough> that has a program that can organize this crap please please please save me from tearing my hair out because I don’t think I could pull off a bald head despite my quirky sense of fashion.

My sisters appendix ruptured today. I was wiggin out. My mom freaked out too. I just saw my sister on Sunday in frisco and she was all fine and dandy. I guess late last night she had a severe pain in the side of her tummy that she thought might just be indigestion or what not but the pain became unbearable so my “future brother in law” rushed her to the emergency room. He is such a knight in shining armor. He stayed with her all night while they did a cat scan and an mri or whatevers and surgery was scheduled for this morning. I was glad to see her looking better when I got there.. eyebrows all in tact hehe. I always tease her cuz even if she is super sick or just woke up her eyebrows always look super good. She’s blessed with nice ones. lol. Okay all the boys reading this right now are like ummm great eileen. I guess it just goes to show that even though my sister and I aren’t two peas in a pod or know every single detail about each others lives.. and despite the fact that she thinks im the biggest brat ever and I think she is the most sensitive individual on the planet we still love each other and will always be there for each other when the going gets rough. I love you t joy. Get better soon! [ya eww I said the L word]

It is a true reality that ideas are a dime a dozen.
An idea will only be an idea unless it is materialized with capital.

Loyalty is overrated.
It is time for survival of the fittest mode.

The one that talks the most is the one that buys.
It is better to shut up, take notes, analyze, and attack when the other is vulnerable.

1000 capital units at $100/unit
of zero is zero.

My laptop runs the company.
If I leave, I will leave with all the knowledge in my head
and nothing but porn and illegally downloaded mp3s on my laptop.

Dear Faithful Readers of the Rants and Raves of EileenSzymanski.com,

I got an email from my Australian Distributor today and he ended the message by saying,
“Are you on Skype?” umm what the heck does that mean? I thought I was pretty down with eileenglish but this obviously is not in my vocabulary. If you should have a distant cousin down in aussie, or are familiar with and understand the meaning of this word, please contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss.

Thank you for your immediate response, I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Yours Truly,
Eiski

Kate: Love is a mindfield, you take a step and get blown to pieces, put yourself back together again and stupidly take another step. I guess thats human nature, it hurts so much to be alone that we'd all rather blow-up than be single.

Adam Levy: Two people can be perfect for each other but if the timing's wrong its never going to work out. Bad timing is the reason that most normal people end up single. Weirdos and creeps are single cuz they are weird and creepy but people like us are single because of bad timing.

“the cheese sandwiches with just the single cheese slice in the plastic wrap are unique”

I once saw a movie that I absolutely fell in L with.. it is called “Love & Sex” released in 2000. it was about relationships.. It scared away the skeptic in me for the whole hour and half and for that brief moment I actually felt like I understood.

The movie talked about the use of the word “love”.. basically love is just a four letter word, so why are people so afraid to use it or say it? Neither of the lead characters wanted to say it despite the fact that they both felt it and showed it to one another .. neither of them wanted to be the first to bow down and say it… so they came up with another way to express it… you can use any word imaginable to express love… like “I blegh you” or “I squish you” so the movie came up with “I cheese sandwich you”.. so later in the movie on their anniversary years later, the dude sent his chick a singing midget that delivered a “cheese sandwich” to her work. It was the cutest thing ever. moral of the story is, if you feel it and you show it, there is no need to say it because there is not one word in the english language that can express that unconditional feeling.

Suede : Frisco
Inconsequential. That is what most arguments typically are. We do not like to be wrong nor do we like to be proven wrong. When someone apologizes its hard to just accept it and move on. It takes a while for the brain to analyze the situation, gulp and realize that it was inconsequential.

Words can accept the apology but does the heart ever?

I was eating my roomie today and he made some super interesting arguments.

Argument1: “Girls don’t respect guys.”
At first I was a little taken back like doubleyoo-tee-eff-mate but then I realized that he didn’t mean girls don’t respect guys the way middle eastern women respect their men (by doing every freakin little thing plus wipe their ass for them).. he meant that women don’t respect guys feelings. I never really looked at it from a guys perspective before because being a girl and all I find it easier to agree with the female as being the wounded lamb in most relationships, especially with what ive been through, but females can be quite vicious creatures. Females can always get what they want. Guys can argue with me all day long about this, but “drop the panties and the boys will come”.

Specimen A: Take relationship girl.. I think girls use sex as an evil invisible collar that they strap on to their men. As much as guys go out and holler at other chicks when they chill with their bros they know who they want to go home to at the end of the day because the invisible sex collar leads them back to their wifey. Its all good till they get caught slippin then they slap themselves silly thinking about how the hoodrat chicks they met were sooooo not worth it compared to their girl.. humans I swear.. you never know what you have until its gone.

Specimen B: Take singledom girl. Single chicks like attention. They want as many guys as they can to have them as their number one priority, she just doesn’t want all the guys to know about eachother. When she feels like one is dropping off on the attention momentum she bumps up the charm to get him back on track. It’s a vile ploy to keep her pawns on the gameboard until she checks a mate. Sorry to give away single girl secret number one but I had to tell it like it is.

Conclusion girls are cruel and malicious. But I don’t think guys should blame girls completely. I think the girls above are victims of that one bad apple that they encountered along their dating journey through life. It only takes one bad guy to f*ck a girl up in the head and turn her into specimen A or B mentioned above. So in reality, it’s a simple case study of cause and effect… guys should blame the guy that turned the girl into the evil person she is today cuz its guys like that who f*ck shit up for the rest of the herd. Hence, I will hide in my cave and peak out when the coast is clear so as not to turn into Specimen A or B.


Argument2: “Dress like a slut, get treated like a slut”
I would have to agree.. I’m sick and tired of listening to the “thursday chicks” whine at a club about how they cant find a good guy, one that likes them for who they are, that actually cares about them more than just hitting and quitting.

Okay I have 2 things to respond to that
1) guys at clubs aren’t thinking about the storybook wedding on the beach with roses and flower petals and music and doves and all that bullsh*t.. they just wanna attend the party that’s in your pants and get their cake.
2) how you gonna wear a one inch skirt and a tube top with half your titty hanging out and expect a guy to look deep into your eyes? Something tells me he probably isn’t too interested with what you got goin on upstairs but wants to turn the lights on in the basement you dig.

So for all you GMAT alumni’s or current MBA students I will parse the argument below:
C: (Conclusion) = skeet skeet skeet’s can’t find guys that truly, madly, deeply, care about them.
P: (Premise) = dress like a slut, get treated like a slut.
A1: (Assumption1) = Assuming all other factors remain constant
A2: (Assumption2) = Assuming if half a girl’s titty is hanging out she will find a guy that only wants to bone her.

And just for the record:
C: I do not.. I repeat do not dress like a slut.
P1: You will never see me flaunting my tummy
P2: You will never see me wearing a backless shirt
P3: You will never see me rocking a skirt with my budonkadonk ass cheeks hanging out
P3: I would not be caught dead wearing anything remotely revealing my boobies. (bathing suits included)
A1: Assuming I do not magically become a stripper overnight.

(sorry some business school humor.. I had to throw it in here)

I now have a metal stick lodged in my stomach somewhere. Well hopefully its down in my stomach because last night it unfortunately was still situated in my throat. Stupid tongue piercing… first I noticed the ball gone, shrugged oh well and my boner retardedness put the bar back in so I could continue eating. Not more than two bites later the whole bar was missing in action. Boooooo.

This has probably been the most un-eileen weekend ever in all of 2005. I stayed home on Friday and Saturday night. Yes it is true. I stayed home. Can you believe that? No really.. I shit you not. I stayed home. I felt so queezienasty on Saturday I think I ate some not so cooked meat at the beach cuz my tummy was growling world war III moans like no other so I watched wildboyz on mtv and called it a night. Those guys are insane/gay/freakin retarded. Some of the things they do on that show are just plain stupid. But it did cop some laughs out of me so I guess I cant knock it.

I never really appreciated my job until today.

I went to wendys and gave my money to the lady at the drive thru. She must have been at least 70 years old give or take a couple of years and after I gave her a $20 bill she tried to give me a $20 bill and $4 dollar bills as change. I promptly corrected her and watched as she got extremely mad at herself for giving me the wrong change. I assured her it was alright but she commented by saying “when you get old like me everything starts looking the same.. good thing you noticed or I would have been fired..” so two things ran through my mind at that point.
One- why is a lady that is old enough to be my grandmother still working at wendys? and
Second- can you really get fired from wendys for being $20 short on your drawer at the end of the day?...

it boggles my mind to think that she should be home playing with her grandkids or knitting or watching price is right or something and here she is working at wendys getting frustrated at herself for giving me the wrong change. I don’t know what her circumstances are in regards to whether she WANTS to work there as opposed to HAS to work there but nonetheless, would you want to see someone as old as your grandmother working hard like that for a measly minimum wage? I felt so bad.. It was at that point I felt ashamed of myself for taking my job for granted.

Aww summertime.
The sun is shining, the waves are hitting the beaches and the kids are ready to play.
And while all this hustle and bustle is crackin, at least 98% of all my friends are stuck in their cubicles trying to bring home the bacon.

A cynic is not merely one who reads bitter lessons from the past, he is one who is prematurely disappointed in the future.

[How sad that we eventually become cynics. We like to call it "jaded", "guarded" or "defensive" but no matter how you dress it up it's still an excuse not to try whatever it is that we in fact afraid of. People always claim to be brave or to be risk takers but when it comes to the heart we are all just cowards. Happiest are the people who actually follow through on matters of love until the end.] cb.

I think the hottest thing ever is to see a super cute guy sport his wedding ring with pride and not be able to stop talking about his wife after being married for years. I guess there are really guys out there that can make the commitment and not be sketchy on the sidelines.

At what point can a person set aside their insecurities and realize that the other person is being true? Do the insecurities only end when you say I do? And even then… there’s always divorce? Ugh. So pessimistic I am these days.

If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is a compromise. Look up into the sky and never forget the boundless view.

Studying for the gmat. Do people really care about this shit in the real world? i.e.
The –ing form of a verb or present participle can be used as a noun and in such case it is called a gerund. Who the hell named that shit? A gerund? Sounds like some animal you would stick up your ass. Wow okay tone it down Eileen.. sorry studying for this sucks.

Ate shabu shabu last night and concluded that harry is the most wise Americanized Japanese man I have ever met. Calling out the 12 o’clock rice bowl to 6 o’clock and hovering over us to make sure we didn’t over cook the grade A meat. He started talking about History and I learned many important things:
1) George Washington caught pneumonia from walking through some snow fields after boning a slave in her quarters
2) Benjamin Franklin was an old dirty man that liked to have sex with multiple dirty women
3) Thomas Jefferson like to boink his slaves too
Wow didn’t know you could learn about Sex and American History while eating shabs.

So my coworker was late to work today..
his excuse was he was dreaming he was cuddling with jenna jameson and didn’t want to get up.

The fruit cake lady is bad ass.
My husband wants to have sex with me all the time.. what should I do?
<in the most hick accent> Say NO. say HELLLLLLLLLL no. simple as that.

i went to the cemetary today for daddys day and i couldnt believe how many flowers i saw carpeting the lush green hills. every year it surprises me more than the last. funny how on non-holiday days the lush green hills are covered with dryed leaves and branches with a few scattered wilting roses here and there.. i guess it takes a designated holiday for people to get off their asses and bring flowers to their departed loved ones. happy fathers day daddy. i miss you.

Some very important things I learned about wine this weekend:
1. Pinot Noir is pronounced “Pee-Know Know-Are”
2. “Brix” is the drip system used to water vineyards
3. If a wine barrel has a plug at the top it is called a “Bung”
and the hole it is covering is called the “Bung Hole” [keke]
4. If you swirl the wine you can really actually smell things..
like green apples.. it’s a trip.

I watched sideways yesterday. Interesting movie.. kinda dragged but when I think back to the overall storyline and the taste it left in my mouth, it wasn’t as sour as I thought.

It made me think about how we think our problems are so horrible at the moment they occur but in reality there are worse things that can happen to you. For example, I am 24. I feel like ive been pretty jaded by the whole relationship, soul-mate, love lost, I think you’re the one but maybe you aren’t roller coaster of emotions but in respect to the timeline of life all this heartache is just the beginning. It is only human nature that we put our guards up after getting hurt because we refuse to get hurt in the same way all over again… I don’t want to sound cynical but if you haven’t watched sideways you can stop reading right now.

Its about this one dude who was married to this chick that basically was “the one” for him.. to simplify for the sake of less reading/typing, she loved wine just like he did and had one of the most sensitive pallets ever.. somehow along the way she started making him feel like shit so it drove him to have an affair with Becky.. (ya um not a good excuse and ewww I hate that name because a certain cheerleader in high school had the same name that skeeeeetskeetskeet) but anyhow.. they got divorced and luckily didn’t have any kids even though he wanted some but at least it wasn’t a messy divorce.. so he thought he was over it but he finally realized he lost a good thing when he found out she got remarried.. so the dudes best friend gets married and he saw his ex wife at the wedding .. she introduced him to her new husband and he took it like a man.. so im gonna rephrase this in eileenglish since I cant remember exactly what they said:

Dude: “well I’m stoked you’re happy.. now lets go to the reception and get our wine on”
Chick: “um no drinking for me”
Dude: “What the heezy? You stopped drinking wine?”
Chick: “well I’m pregnant”

Ouch. I know its hard to conceptualize the impact of this conversation if you haven’t seen the movie yet, especially since its in eileenglish, but when I heard her say that my heart dropped. Its one thing to lose someone you were dating or to lose your girl/boyfriend of 4 years but its another thing to lose the one you were married to and find out that they are remarried, happier than they were when they were with you and to top it off they are now bringing a new life into this world that you had no part of. Ouch.

Marriage Fear Factor Scale from (1-10: 1 being least scared and 10 being mortified) is now equivalent to 10.

count on that for sure.

Got a call from my roommate from college. He was such a fun guy to hang around.. taught me a lot about life..boys..guns..police dogs.. lol much like an older brother..

So hows the boy situation?
Just remember your stock expires with your old age.
Your stock may be high now but I just don’t want to see you settling.

Aww words of wisdom from “the man.” He was such a pimp.. new girls shoes at the bottom of the stairs, all different sizes, everytime I came home.. despite his rico suaveness, he taught me a lot about proper dating etiquette since I was the biggest tomboy at the time. I was such a young little tadpole.. sigh. Funny how much you can change in seven years.

funny how a crayola crayon entitled portabello can stir up emotion.

yeah i know what you mean... getting hurt sucks we're all human... were gonna get hurt or hurt someone sooner or later... forgiving is the hardest thing to do, i think...

Some tension is necessary for the soul to grow, and we can put that tension to good use. We can look for every opportunity to give and receive love, to appreciate nature, to heal our wounds and the wounds of others, to forgive, and to serve. -- Joan Borysenko

I'll be the one that leaves
you high...

So im in the shower this morning and I swear this is where I can conceive all of my mind boggling ideas. I’m gonna get computer geek for a second so here’s the scenario. My quickbooks on my laptop doesn’t work for some odd reason. I have vpn on my laptop so I am definitely most productive at night when I am able to correspond with our international channel partners via email and the use of quickbooks since anyone in business knows that your quickbooks file is like gold. If my quickbooks file was erased the entire company would go down. Luckily I have this kick ass server that has a mirrored hard drive and we do backups on a daily basis. Anyhows… so at work I am always on my laptop but lately ive been having to run to the other desk to log onto quickbooks so its been especially cumbersome to be efficient lately because most of the time I am the multi tasking queenbee. So it finally hit me that I could totally just remote control desktop my server from my laptop and log onto quickbooks from my desk without running around.. err duuhhhh.. yup all you “IT” people are like umm Eileen I could have told you that in a second but hey…
does it look like I was an ICS major?! I pay people to do that sh*t.

Moving is a bitch. Im gonna miss my old apt.. lookin out the window on those rainy days and watching the droplets softly caress the palm trees as they traveled down the leaves. It was beautiful sitting on the balcony gazing at the dimly lit office buildings that line jamboree. My bathroom was enormous… and my closet was to die for. Good good good times there have been within these walls... But hey change is good right? Im moving into a really awesome neighborhood.. looks like mr. rogers neighborhood or something you would see in a movie. It’s a place where everybody knows your name and razoring down the newly paved streets is the evening pastime. Its going to be an interesting summer indeed.

whisper to me softly
i can hear you

dream of aching tragedy
crowds of familiar faces
heat of mysterious stares

kill me gently

watch me die a thousand times again
I just want to make it go away

RE: hi
i would step on my ex-best friend because..... umm yah..
and i have been severly jaded ever since.
i would squish her slowly, leaving the stripes from my argyle sock
imprinted on her face while she screams in pain and agony, begging for mercy.

The Inspirer

Extraversion
Intuition
Feeling
Perceiving

As an ENFP, your primary mode of living is focused externally, where you take things in primarily via your intuition. Your secondary mode is internal, where you deal with things according to how you feel about them, or how they fit in with your personal value system.

ENFPs are warm, enthusiastic people, typically very bright and full of potential. They live in the world of possibilities, and can become very passionate and excited about things. Their enthusiasm lends them the ability to inspire and motivate others, more so than we see in other types. They can talk their way in or out of anything. They love life, seeing it as a special gift, and strive to make the most out of it.

ENFPs have an unusually broad range of skills and talents. They are good at most things which interest them. Project-oriented, they may go through several different careers during their lifetime. To onlookers, the ENFP may seem directionless and without purpose, but ENFPs are actually quite consistent, in that they have a strong sense of values which they live with throughout their lives. Everything that they do must be in line with their values. An ENFP needs to feel that they are living their lives as their true Self, walking in step with what they believe is right. They see meaning in everything, and are on a continuous quest to adapt their lives and values to achieve inner peace. They're constantly aware and somewhat fearful of losing touch with themselves. Since emotional excitement is usually an important part of the ENFP's life, and because they are focused on keeping "centered", the ENFP is usually an intense individual, with highly evolved values.

An ENFP needs to focus on following through with their projects. This can be a problem area for some of these individuals. Unlike other Extraverted types, ENFPs need time alone to center themselves, and make sure they are moving in a direction which is in sync with their values. ENFPs who remain centered will usually be quite successful at their endeavors. Others may fall into the habit of dropping a project when they become excited about a new possibility, and thus they never achieve the great accomplishments which they are capable of achieving.

Most ENFPs have great people skills. They are genuinely warm and interested in people, and place great importance on their inter-personal relationships. ENFPs almost always have a strong need to be liked. Sometimes, especially at a younger age, an ENFP will tend to be "gushy" and insincere, and generally "overdo" in an effort to win acceptance. However, once an ENFP has learned to balance their need to be true to themselves with their need for acceptance, they excel at bringing out the best in others, and are typically well-liked. They have an exceptional ability to intuitively understand a person after a very short period of time, and use their intuition and flexibility to relate to others on their own level.

Because ENFPs live in the world of exciting possibilities, the details of everyday life are seen as trivial drudgery. They place no importance on detailed, maintenance-type tasks, and will frequently remain oblivous to these types of concerns. When they do have to perform these tasks, they do not enjoy themselves. This is a challenging area of life for most ENFPs, and can be frustrating for ENFP's family members.

An ENFP who has "gone wrong" may be quite manipulative - and very good at it. The gift of gab which they are blessed with makes it naturally easy for them to get what they want. Most ENFPs will not abuse their abilities, because that would not jive with their value systems.

ENFPs sometimes make serious errors in judgment. They have an amazing ability to intuitively perceive the truth about a person or situation, but when they apply judgment to their perception, they may jump to the wrong conclusions.

ENFPs who have not learned to follow through may have a difficult time remaining happy in marital relationships. Always seeing the possibilities of what could be, they may become bored with what actually is. The strong sense of values will keep many ENFPs dedicated to their relationships. However, ENFPs like a little excitement in their lives, and are best matched with individuals who are comfortable with change and new experiences.

Having an ENFP parent can be a fun-filled experience, but may be stressful at times for children with strong Sensing or Judging tendancies. Such children may see the ENFP parent as inconsistent and difficult to understand, as the children are pulled along in the whirlwind life of the ENFP. Sometimes the ENFP will want to be their child's best friend, and at other times they will play the parental authoritarian. But ENFPs are always consistent in their value systems, which they will impress on their children above all else, along with a basic joy of living.

ENFPs are basically happy people. They may become unhappy when they are confined to strict schedules or mundane tasks. Consequently, ENFPs work best in situations where they have a lot of flexibility, and where they can work with people and ideas. Many go into business for themselves. They have the ability to be quite productive with little supervision, as long as they are excited about what they're doing.

Because they are so alert and sensitive, constantly scanning their environments, ENFPs often suffer from muscle tension. They have a strong need to be independent, and resist being controlled or labelled. They need to maintain control over themselves, but they do not believe in controlling others. Their dislike of dependence and suppression extends to others as well as to themselves.

ENFPs are charming, ingenuous, risk-taking, sensitive, people-oriented individuals with capabilities ranging across a broad spectrum. They have many gifts which they will use to fulfill themselves and those near them, if they are able to remain centered and master the ability of following through.

Jungian functional preference ordering for ENFP:
Dominant: Extraverted Intuition
Auxiliary: Introverted Feeling
Tertiary: Extraverted Thinking
Inferior: Introverted Sensing

take this.. its amazingly dead on.

rough draft.
I'm breathing in your skin tonight
Quiet is my loudest cry
Wouldn't wanna wake the eyes, that make me melt inside
And if it's healthier to leave you be,
May a sickness come and set me free
Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me...
like a saturday night i'll be gone before you knew that i was there

went to a wedding. only 4 months and they are married now.. they were both 21.
wow. i cant imagine getting married at 21. shiby.
it was in TO yey close to my hometown aka "the shire" luckily i didnt see anyone from little house on the prairie or any characters from lord of the rings. it didnt occur to me how lush and green ventura county was until this week. going from phoenix to the county of orange and then back to the 805 really made me realize how pretty and serene my hometown is. its a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the fast paced life, slow down and start a family.. guess its something to consider when that fateful day should come.

i havent drank in 2 days. whoa. i need an EIneken soon or im gonna implode.

there was so much traffic. i must have been going about 5 miles per hour. i look to my side and i see a yelllow school bus and notice a little boy waving at me. i thought it was super cute so i waved back. he couldnt have been more than 8 years old. my lane starts speeding up but the school bus soon catches up next to me again. now instead of one boy there are 3 boys in the window, two of them waving at me. aww how cute. so i smile politely and wave back. my lane moves forward and now i'm only one exit away from work but the school bus catches up to me again. this time i sense someone flagging me down. as i look over, to my surprise 2 boys are waving at me and one has his index finger and middle finger in the shape of a v next to his mouth and he is proceeding to lick the window in an incredibly repulsive way. wOw. they must teach em young these days.. dayam santa ana is gaNgsterrrrrr.

INTRODUCING THE BLIP:
something I just remembered or found written on some random piece of writing surface but forgot to right down on that day.

John Hancock Observatory. Rising 95 floors on an elevator with the woman in the rabbit jacket and the man whose smile radiated with love for her. The disposable Kodak pic should turn out great. It was if they were in their own world because they couldn’t keep their hands off eachother. I could only hope that when I turn 50 years old I will be as madly in love as they still are.

you love me but you don’t know who I am. puddle of mud. chicago incomplete.

Note to self. When the drink stops the fun begins.
As cliché as it sounds beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
11:45pm cherry in the tom Collins reminded me of Nikki’s cherry trick. Quite shrewd of her timely implementation of this maneuver at garden not so long ago. Gotta keep in minf tho, life is not always a bowl of cherries.

At what point in a relationship do you realize that you love a person..
A lot
But
You may not be in love with them
Anymore
It’s a viscous cycle that is hard to get away from
But once you do, there is no looking back.

Green onion pancakes with fried egg. Cant go wrong with that on a nice Sunday NY morning.

Heard from stinky bum with nappy hair.
What did the judge say to Michael jackson’s mom when he was convicted? I’m sorry miss Jackson.. I am ferrrrreaaaaaaaaL. Mind you all of this was sung while he was dancing a drunken little jiggy jig. Haha. Guess you had to be there.

but when you finally convince yourself to do it
you realize the underlying reason
for why you were so inclined to do it in the first place?

Ive always been really insecure about my boobs. Blegh. I am positive that I suffer from boob envy especially after watching as much porn as I have throughout my life. Today however my perspective has slightly changed. Being taken out of your element is truly an eye opener. I guess im used to partying next to the tiny little girlies that had their daddy’s drop 5k for some fakies to flaunt around at the clubs. It was nice to sit out in the blistering Arizona heat today and observe the actual majority of women that populate the earth. I don’t know if it was a high school swim team or what but all 12 of the waitresses at the poolside bar probably had a collective median breast size of 32A but they were honestly banging. There was one though that did me in. her face was absolutely gorgeous but she turned around and had zero boobs. Actually zero would be flattering.. she had negative boobs. In any case she was beautiful and it gave me reassurance..

sometimes I may dwell too much in the artificial

I have probably seen the bb video about 2.183 billion times now. Whats up with the grass shot? Um can we say cutting room floor please?

1.5 hours of observing conversations that did not include me. I was the only one carded at the steak house. I am also the only one that knows our A/R A/P & balance to the cent. The food was excellent but the seven “suits” around me were not. You really don’t realize how "W" of a world it is until you venture out of your comfort bubble. Roomate kept me entertained as follows:

Roommate outlook on older women:
K: the older the berry the sweeter the juice.

Roommate outlook on couple that just got engaged:
E: Wow that is super cute
K: There goes his life

Roommate outlook on 2 hottie chicks sippin on Cosmopolitans close to us:
K: I can smell the poison P from here.. it’s not good, its not bad, but definitely distinct.

He consumes a lot of my time
He crowds my thoughts
He keeps me awake at night
He challenges my mind
He buys me things
He has taught me more than I could ever imagine
He makes me travel to places I sometimes don’t want to go
He makes me forget that I need to eat at normal hours of the day
He has made me grow addicted to red bull
He asks me questions that I sometimes don’t know the answers to
He is the first thing I think about in the morning
He is the last thing I think about at night
He is work

Arrive at the airport and what are the chances that the same exact flight #, departure/arrival time, switch over in Chicago.. all of this on both April 29 and August 29. darn those 3 letter month abbreviations. They all look similar when I didn’t even bother to check my itinerary. I think I deserve an award for partying like a rockstar til 2am, puking my guts out until 3am, waking up at 5am to do laundry, leaving only 20 minutes to showie and pack for 6 days. So very clutch I am. I even had time to scarf a sausage mcmuffin while waiting in line to board. One question though.. is it my last name or do I just look like a freakin terrorist? I don’t understand why fate would have it that I rendezvous with the TSA every single time I fly. I didn’t see any special stars or symbols on my boarding pass so I’ve come to the conclusion that those lonely, horny TSA old men (and some butchy women) probably just get a kick out of patting down little critters like me and feeling the underwire of my bra for longer than 10 seconds. The german asked for my number. Those germans don’t skip a beat when they attack.

Fast forward
That’s the way I feel like things are going right now
I told my roommate he was slurring when he was talking since we were raging that day
In response my roommate said I was slurring my life
Ouch.

I don’t think ive ever told you about my cousin. To make a long story short I am basically living her life all over again. Its interesting how all the issues I have faced to date she has been through and I am proud to have her coach me every step of the way. Too bad sometimes I am just way too hard headed and like to fall on my face before admitting she is right.. but trust me SHE IS ALWAYS RIGHT. Apparently she silently watches my life unfold through my blurbs and today she wrote:

Hey, I checked out your site again.... I read one of your blurbs real fast. I swear this is something that I remember at your old Sun Valley house, a conversation you had with your dad:

Uncle Richard: Who is your favorite person in the world?
Eileen (playing with some empty bottle): Uncle Mar
Uncle Richard (laughing): Are you sure?
Eileen: Yes
Uncle Richard: Very sure?
Eileen (looking up frustrated): Daddy! Yes!
Uncle Richard: Ok, but what about me?
Eileen: Uncle Mar is my favorite person but you are my daddy. I only have one daddy.
Uncle Richard: Yes, only one daddy. (pause) I only have one Eileen and you are MY favorite person.
Eileen: Ok, then you are my only daddy and my favorite person
Uncle Richard: What about Uncle mar?
Eileen: He will be my favorite person tomorrow but you are my daddy always
Uncle Richard (hugging Eileen): You are such a smart girl. You are going to make a difference someday.
Eileen: someday? When is that? Not today?
Uncle Richard: You make a difference every day.
Eileen kisses Uncle Richard on the cheek and gives a big hug. Then throws a fit because Mamang threw away the bottle she was playing with.

I miss my dad too but it's weird to miss someone you do not really know. Besides, what better conversation can a girl have with their dad besides the one above? And yes, you do smile like your dad. He had a contagious smile & his eyes smiled too. No one has ever told me that I look or smile like my dad.....

Have a good one Munchkin.

Intense. I guess I haven’t changed much. I wish I could remember that conversation but I’m glad someone did for me.

I cannot believe how much I admire and respect the integrity of the founder of my company. Despite the fallbacks that we have experienced since conception, he has always acted in the best interest of the corporation and I commend him for his strength throughout the legal adversities we have recently been faced with. I revere in the fact that I have been honored to work with such a resilient, dependable individual and I have no doubt we will persevere to success.

there are only two ways to play the game
1) play to win
2) play not to lose
mark my words I will not lose this game

The word for today is baggage.
Everyone has it.

I think once you get past the age of 21 it is pretty much a certainty that you have somehow, someway been severely jaded by the opposite sex in the past. For those of you early bloomers, maybe even younger. So it is practically inevitable that dating after this turning point age can become increasingly difficult to say the least.

Comparison is inevitable but it is how you suppress and overcome it that matters. Every single individual on this entire planet is different. Not only are they unique in their own way but they interact with others in multiple variances as well. For example, lets do a for instance. Say you have absolutely sworn off a particular restaurant because you found out that the “X” factor had taken his/her other prey there during the course of your relationship. Now let’s continue in saying that this is one of those diamond in the rough restaurants that is just absolutely unreal and you water at the mouth craving it. Would you bring someone new there despite the bad memories or would you write it off and never enter through its doors again?

Can you imagine what the world would be like if every time you started dating a new person it was like you were in junior high finally dating your biggest crush, no baggage, no “X” factors, no random hidden skeletons in the closet that will bite you in the ass a couple weeks, months, years down the line. Oh the butterflies that would be jostling in your tummy. Instead we are stuck behind rice paper walls that could tear and break your already fractured heart in an instant.

They always say that pictures tell a thousand words. It is so unbelievably true and it sucks compiling all the thousands of words that invade your head when you glance at an image from your past or even more so, viewing pictures of other people’s pasts. It’s like the life you never knew they had or when looking at your own pictures, the life you forgot you had. The most eerie thing is to look at pictures of your parents from the past and seeing them all happy, young and in love. It hurts even more so when you are seeing how happy your dad was and never getting the chance to get to know him yourself. If i could rub a magic genie bottle my one wish would definitely be to have even just a couple of minutes with him to experience a conversation with him and not try to translate the thousands of words that have been stacking up in my head every time I see him smile in a photograph.

my mom says we smile the same. I can’t imagine what it is like to look into your child’s eyes and see the same smile you said “I do” to… maybe I will be able to give up beer for 9 months one day..

Dear Mr. Former BIG BRO Randers,

This letter is to clarify that on Friday, May 6, 2005, I was highly intoxicated and apologize for my lewd behavior and misconduct. Please accept this apology for my lesbian tendencies with your future wife. I would appreciate the removal of any and all images that display forms of female on female actions from your website. Should you decide to keep the images available for display, I will not hesitate on taking legal action.

Thank you for your immediate attention and resolution in this matter.

Subject: RE: boat party pix

To Ms. Szymanski,

Thank you for your quick attention to the subject matter. This is in response to your letter dated May 9, 2005.

As you know, business here at Pimpin Productions Incorporated, (labeled here on as PP,Inc) is strictly confidential and is only disclosed to trusted sources with many years experience (clients jimee cochrane,d.peau, deeznuts, and former lil sis eileen), granted they are bound by contracts, by word or by loyalty. Only with the breakage of signed waivers,verbal agreements, or pinky swears, then are they allowed to petition the actions of members of PP,Inc. of any wrong doing or breach of contract.

As you may have interpreted from previous attachments and coordination with other parties, especially those pertaining to members of PP,Inc, improper and irrational behavior towards PP,Inc will not be tolerated when an agreement was not created. Expulsion and replacement from the PP,Inc Elite LS Program is immenent and pending.

But due to tentative gestures of good faith and proper conduct from the requesting party, the removal is moved from pending to probationary. As requested, the images displaying lesbian tendencies and other female on female actions will be removed.

If, after these removals, legal action is still pursued upon PP,Inc, a strict meeting between all parties involved will be held. Our attornies Jimee Cochran and D.Peau will be at our defense as well as our witness Ms. Decolongon. I would hope you take this as a lesson for my team and clients are well armed and knowledgeable in the arts of mass distribution and sales. We hope this will put a closure on the current situation.

If you have any further questions, our hotlines are open 24 hours, 7 days a week.

Yours truly,
Randy R. Tabije

Whoever invented the crest vanilla mint toothpaste is both sick and twisted.

So I was eating teppan with my family for mothers day and I saw this girl I knew from high school. I totally put her on a pedestal. She was one of those cool girls that all the guys jocked hard.. super pretty and always at her best. It was strange that seven years later here we both are only difference is now she was serving and i was being served. boy how things change.

MISSION
The city doesn’t sleep.
Talk about ass for days, I personally witnessed ass for years. Homie was handling the badonkadonk karate kid wax on wax off.

Conversation with infactuated bootylicious hoarder:
¼ mile high member: handle that sh*t
Hoarder: naw man its too much
¼ mile high member: I never WANT TO HEAR THAT AGAIN!!! MANNN you could put a silver dollar on that @ss.
Hoarder: haha.. you know what I’m sayin son!

Like a tongue stuck to a frozen pole, his hand was clamped tightly between her thighs holding on for dear life (bootyclapclapclap) one could only imagine what lies beneath the Himalayas could it be a leopard like bungee cord?

ALLERGIC
Juniors pizza and subs. I really wanted calamari but the guy is allergic to seafood. apparently he couldnt make the calamari. Umm don’t you wear gloves? sorry buddy no can do on the calamari. but ill give you some of the white wine sauce we use on the food. so it was delivered in plastic pepsi cups with a tinge of yellow. tasted more like vinegar soy sauce than white wine. I was not a happy camper. evidence i am not as alcoholic as i thought i was or else i would have drank that nastiness.

ELEMENT

I made him come out of his.

Volatile: I remember when I was in that scenario when I would go to the bathroom and my boyfriend would accompany me and when I got out he would be no where in sight. So i I would go back to our table and when he would finally come back he would be irate yelling off how he was waiting for me to get out of the little girls room and here I was the whole time enjoying myself at the table while he was there waiting patiently for me. I am so glad I am over that. What is the point of getting mad over something like that when there are so many more important things in life to worry about or argue over. Like umm you lied to me about 4 girls or I never loved you..

anyhow. Moral of the story, keep trucking.
you never know what you may encounter while wandering off on the road less traveled.

Hooray for accordions. I have a new appreciation for this unique instrument and the utilization of this tool in jazz. So I went to a concert tonight and by the looks of the crowd it was definitely a J-unit thing and not a G-unit event. Middle aged mom was rockin the playboy leather jacket. By the third song she was chugging her water bottle like a horse that just completed traveling through the Oregon trail. Yah you know that game you played on the two tone green screen in elementary. I actually feel like a minority. Especially after he busted out with the “Romania” whoa.

Dayam those “Starers.” They are almost as bad as the “Lurkers” the only difference is “Lurkers” talk and “Starers” just creep in silence. (Written after a wiley female handed me her business card after staring at me for the most part of the concert.)

So my toe is incredibly hurting. I seriously think I broke it. I can barely put my checkered vans on. I got hug attacked and mounted last night by the birthday girl and somewhere between the point of impact and my back laying on the dirty dave and buster floor, my toe was bent sideways. Ouchie. At least I got kissed 5 times on my piercing last night.. aww yeah.. girls dig the piercing. I am such a mess right now. I went to the dentist yesterday and thought I needed to get my wisdom tooth out cuz it has been incredibly painful the past couple of days. Just as I thought I do need to get them pulled but that unfortunately was not the issue at hand. Apparently I have been inadvertently gnawing off the inside of my cheek. The dentist concluded that tendencies such as this are due to high levels of stress. Ding ding. We have a winner. So she prescribed me some meds and low and behold I was not able to retrieve them from the pharmacy since I had such a busy day ahead of me. Once I was finally able to even read what she had prescribed me the pharmacy was closed and there I sat with the signed paper in my hand thinking how the next time I would be able to hit up the pharm would be when I arrive back next Thursday.

Sitting next to an Italian and a german make for some interesting conversations. I learned something that I could directly relate to the international distribution partners I have to deal with at work. German Ethics: Everything that is not mandatory is prohibited.
So I ask what is there to do in Chicago and Italian tells me about how the RV driver for the Def Leopard tour could not find a place to get rid of the waste on the rv.. obviously he was probably inebriated with some sort of illegal chemical so smart driver guy decides to dump the feces and other bodily excretions into the Chicago river thing. As he’s dumping the goodies, the biggest tourist attraction – the architectural boat tour - intersects the brown waterfall and 1 week later def leopard is faced with a multi million dollar lawsuit for showering the patrons on the tour with their excrements. His last sentence.. so yah you should check out the architectural boat tour I heard its fascinating. My response. Umm thanks.. ill look into that.

Right now I feel like I am watching the movie trailer to my life. Its been about 2 months of this fast paced, high stress, no sleep, intense … blah blah blah.. you know how in movie trailers you see the highs the lows the goods the bads the funny the sad the winner the loser. I have seen and been through a lot of things in my life but I can honestly say I have experienced much more in this short time period than I have in my twenty four years of existence. I remember learning in art school that there are only 24 story lines that are encompassed in every single movie ever made. i.e. 1) boy meets girl they fall in love and live happily ever after 2) aliens attack from outerspace 3) a war splits a family in two etc.. all the little details such as what hot young actor/actress they are going to star in the film or the setting, costume design etc.. those are all miniscule in the broad scope of the story line at hand. When I first learned this I really could not believe it. but looking back on this past year I agree wholeheartedly. It should not depend on who the stars of the movie are, its how the story unfolds.

I had a conversation with my husband yesterday and samy shogun mentioned some very pondering things. When you are caught up in a situation you make yourself believe that no one else in this universe could possibly understand you or what you are going through because they have not gone through it themselves. Although they may have gone through something similar you tell yourself that it is not the same and refuse to listen to any advice they have to give regarding the situation. Sometimes we just need a person to listen to us. To give us their ears. Sometimes we just want someone to agree with us to make us feel better. But friends are always willing to provide their advice in situations and im starting to realize that a lot of them have been right all along. Its almost funny to step out of your own shoes and look back at yourself and how you were so enwrapped with a situation that you forgot to look at what else is out there. Once you break free from that cloudy bubble the world seems a lot more beautiful. You realize that you do deserve better and you have been compromising your happiness to make others happy. I say be selfish. i choose my friends wisely and I think that they are not selfish enough. They are constantly working to make others happy and hurting themselves along the way. Of course there is always that one friend that is full of himself/herself and could care less who or what she hurts along the way but those friends come and go. Im talking more about the people that you would call at 3am when you get into a car accident in the rain, the people you would invite to your wedding if you had a maximum capacity of 10, the people you would email your first born baby pics too.. sigh. Im getting older its scary.


Tuesday for sure
