what the....???



first of all... why they show look wack?
why is there like only some fake smoke and that's it?
why k-ci keep singing with his bird chest?
and why did the audience start clapping??
and why did the girl taping it keep saying pick him up like someone could hear her?
and why the bouncer scoop him off the stage like that?
and why did no one seem concerned except for the girl taping?
and whyyyyyyyyy did i laugh HARD at this video?

so sad....
they probably used to him passing out...
drugs are bad.. mmmmkay

I don't get it...

so the chick that sits next to me at work is completely bizarre... I mean she is bizarre for a number of reasons but today she took it to a whole new level. A few weeks ago, she asked me if I was dating anyone and I said yes. So she then asks me if I think it is going to work out. So again, I said yes. then I asked her why she was asking because we are not really cool like that. So she proceeds to tell me that she is trying to find a wife for her brother. My response was uhhhhhh ok. I mean what was I supposed to say to that? So she goes on to tell me that he is thirty and she is tired of him being single and she is ready for him to settle down but she doesn't like any of the girls he dates. My response to that was uhhhhhh ok. So anyway, I thought the issue was over with. Then this morning, I was talking to my other neighbor and I see this chick's hand outstretched with her phone in my face. It caught me off guard so I was like what the heck are you doing? so she says, very casually, "oh im taking a picture"... like that is normal. So I was like, "well why are you taking a picture?" and she says, "to send it to my brother. I told him about you so he wanted to see what you look like." so I said, "ok and did you tell him I have a boyfriend?" and she said, "well I'm just waiting for yall to break up." what in the sam hell is wrong with people??? that is so psychotic. I mean I guess I should be flattered but i just think it is weird. It's not weird that she wants to set her bro up with someone but it is weird how she is going about it... and it''s super strange that she thinks i would fit the bill for some reason. we are not friends. I joke with her about work but that is only because we share a cube wall... i dunno


ooooh and i saw Mirror last night with pink shoes/scrabble girl. it . was. WACK!
ok maybe i am being overly critical but it was not good. it had potential... it wasn't THAT bad. but it wasn't that good either. the last 30 minutes was the best part of the movie. and the "twist" at the end was dumb.


and can someone PLEASE tell me whyyyyyy Gwen Stefani named her son Zuma?? why why why??? i mean... that is not cute. Zuma sounds like a remote village in a third world country... actually, it reminds me of that clear malt beverage.... ZIMA!!



remember Zima? do they even still make that crap?

Naked Juice

I loooooove them! mmm mmmm... well the ones without pineapple. YUM! my favorite is mango... i mean they are thick and heavy so i really don't drink them with food because that would be too much.


so i never went back to caribbean festival on Sunday. one of my cousins got into a pretty bad car accident sunday morning and no one really wanted to go. i ended up chillin with a gi-normous migraine... taking 2 aleves... then going to the movies to see Tropic Thunder.... i laughed. could it have been funnier? sure... but i still enjoyed it. i won't spoil it in case anyone wanted to see it.

i am going back out to the chi labor day weekend... looking forward to it.

i haven't really been watching that much of the olympics... i don't really care either.

my friend has had my ipod for like a month. he was supposed to be putting music on there for me... so he apparently finally got around to it so i BETTER have it back by Friday or it's gonna be something! especially since he made me promise to make him baked mac and cheese as payment... he could have at least been timely about it...

i am in a weird mood... don't really feel like talking about it just yet. but i will post again later. gotta get my thoughts together

two posts in the same day... wow

so saturday, my sis calls me to ask if i am going to the annual caribbean festival on penns landing. i wasn't really planning on going but i told her if she came and picked me up, i would go. we met up with my mom and other sisters and my cousin and his kids. we decided to park in Camden and take the ferry over to Philly. here are some pics on the ferry ride to Philly.

me representin with my jamaica hat!


so far so good, right?

yeah.... no
we got there and no caribbean festival in sight. at all. apparently the caribbean festival is on sunday not saturday. but all was not lost because there was an Indian festival going on so we decided since we were already there, we might as well check it out. i loved it. it so appealed to my geek side. i figured since i was already there, i might as well embrace the experience and try something from another culture. my sister and i decided to get henna tattoos.

lil sis getting her henna applied


my henna application



here are some kids dressed up... i thought they were adorable


i'll spare you the pics of all the kids but here are some i took on my way back to camden from philly. this is probably my favorite picture of the day


"a squirrel and a can are the same thing when you are holding a b b gun!"

so i decided to stop being lazy and force myself to post something. it's not like i don't have a lot to talk about, i just haven't felt inspired to type it all out... i am gonna force myself to try to get it out now.

first things first...
my weekend with Chris was super fantastic. i dig him... we are just so compatible in a weird way. so chris met my family and some of my friends... everyone likes him of course. so friday when he got here, we went sneaker shopping and then to dinner then hung out with my friends (my roommates cousin and her husband)and that was cool... then saturday we hung out with my friends kev and shauna... that was really fun... kev and shauna ended up going to dinner with us at Marrakesh. after dinner we decided we were gonna go to a hookah place and that was ridiculous. i didn't know where it was exactly so i google searched on my phone then called the one that seemed closest to us. when i called the restaurant to ask where they were, the dude that answered said they were in old city which is a section of philly i am familiar with. we get to old city via my lil sis who came to pick us up, then we park and we are looking for the place with no luck. i pulled up this address and off we went again. we walked about 7 blocks back to where we started from and the place was right there... torture. it was also closed by the time we got there... AND it was not in old city at all but actually in Queen Village (a diff section of philly). it was still fun hanging with kevv and shauna and laughing at how retarded we are... sincce hookah was closed we went to this place called North where i used to hang and i had a few b-day parties there. when they closed, we came home and passed out. sunday Chris came to church with me then we went to maryland to meet my family. he fit right in with my family which is super cool. he didn't seem intimidated by the crazy jamaicans at all which is def a plus. i don't know why i was really surprised considering how he and i interact already. we are so comfortable around each other and that is especially weird to me. this is probably gonna sound extremely corny but one of my favorite moments while he was out here was saturday morning... i made some coffee for chris and a cup of tea for myself and we were just sitting on my sofa, chris on my computer downloading music and me reading an entertainment weekly magazine... we weren't even talking to each other but it was so intimate in a weird way... and very comfortable. like it's always been that way. i dunno... i guess i am starting to sound a lil psycho so i will move on...

work...
sucks.

next
i wanna see that new scary movie Mirrors... i LOVE scary movies! but alas, i have no one to go see it with me... roommate doesn't watch scary movies and pink shoes/ scrabble girl is in Vegas.

so i decided not to go to Costa Rica in Feb like i was originally planning. why? well... .it's too stinkin expensive for me right now. i would rather go somewhere less expensive and stay longer. so now i am thinking about Cancun or St. Maarten... i dunno... any suggestions? i wanna have it nailed down by sept!

well....

i'm too lazy to type and actual post right now but here are some pics of the weekend...

this is us at dinner at Marrakesh... a fantastic Moroccan restaurant in Philly




These two are me dancing with the belly dancer.... i have no idea how i got suckered into doing that... lol



a pic of us.... kinda blurry but i was trying to get a pic of the Ben Franklin Bridge in the background to show in the pic...



and another pic clearer but no bridge



last one from dinner... i don't know why chris refuses to just take a normal pic... but at least his eyes are open!!!


that's all for now..

no strike

our contract is up as of today and the latest word is no strike. i am pissed. why? because last week was one of the most tense weeks at work. they had me wearing red everyday, had us clean off our desks and take personal stuff home so it wouldn't get "misplaced" during strike time.... all that.... all that JUST to say we are gonna work without a contract. wtf? and this is exactly what management was telling us. when we said we were walking out they laughed in our faces. matter of fact on Friday, our manager said see ya on monday! and chuckled. the only reason i am a little bit relieved is because now i can go get my coach shoes i fell in love with on friday.

AAAAAAAARRRRGGGHH!!!!

Friday, August 01, 2008

finally friday! yessssssss (napoleon)

so i am going to a shoe party tonight... a stiletto party. it sounds really fun. i have my FLY ass $550 ashley dearborn shoes (i only paid $160)... i'll post more about that next week as i will probably be home on strike.

so i am in a few different chats during the day at work. here is the one from today... we really are retarded... i didn't bother changing names because you can't see the whole name anyway... oh and the whole fake spanish accent thing... i really don't know where that came from but sound it out and it makes sense... heh heh
