Blah Day

It's raining outside and I love the rain but I can't really enjoy the smell and feeling of it being stuck at my desk at work.

My boss isn't in, his boss isn't in and our project coordinator isn't in either so I feel very relaxed and calm even though I have this mental list of things to do nagging away in my frontal lobe... hmm would the list really be in my frontal lobe...it sounds good but as I over analyze it, I don't think memory is in that part of the brain. Oh I guess I was right, working memory is the frontal lobe.

But once again I digress, probably due to the lack of things converse about.

Hmmm...there's a piece of popcorn stuck in my keyboard. I'm sure I stuck it there but I have no idea how to get it out. It's all the way behind the "alt" "space bar" and "comma"...one sec b,......mmmmmmmmmmmm/////////////

It wasn't popcorn it was a piece of ugly colored tissue...I guess I wished it were popcorn, Orville Redenbachers Extra buttery is what it looked like and I don't even like popcorn....unless it's caramel popcorn from an English movie theater. Hmm I wonder if they even sell that stuff at the cinema back home any more? Does anyone else dislike regular popcorn, or am I the lonely freak! LOL

Talking of movies I want to go to the Warwick Drive-In again...it just opened up last weekend I believe...but Big C didn't really want to go last weekend so I'll have to wait until April now. I want to see Vantage Point and Untraceable, you get both for $8!!! How can you beat that when one movie in a regular movie theater would cost more than $8 let alone two! I want to stay at a hotel this time after watching the movie so we don't have to drive home all tired, the last time we went I got a $220 speeding ticket at like 2AM on the Garden State Parkway in NJ which is notorious for corrupt cops so I'm lucky I walked away with only a ticket. I only like to stay at the Marriott Hotels (does anyone else have an affinity to one chain of hotels?) and the nearest place would cost $99 for one night which kind of defeats the joy of paying $8 for two movies huh? Anyone out there who agrees with my method of madness and WOULD pay for a hotel please raise your hand now and I'll use you as a case against Big C's protests, I darent go into this argument alone!

But then again $220 is more than $99 right, how evil the mind can be in playing such games! lol

I'm supposed to be playing around with a new content management software that we're in the process of buying...I was about to say the name but then thought how awkward would that be if my boss goggled the software and found my blog about me being bored!!! Do you guys remember that woman (I'll go and look for her blog in one sec) who got fired because of her blog...I think both her and her husband no longer have to work as she makes so much money from her blog, she has big name ads on there now! I couldn't even imagine blogging for a living and having ads on my blog! I love her style of writing it's raw, witty and just every day and that's what I like, the mere everydayness which is just so interesting, (oh here she is Heather B), something I've never been good at, I always feel compelled to have something riveting to say before I blog other wise I feel like I'm wasting peoples time....kind of like right now!! LOL

Ok before I sign off...(well that's if you're even still reading)...here's a tag that Staci tagged me on, I can't believe she was a back up dancer to former Menudo member, Ray Reyes, mine won't be anything as interesting as hers, so you might as well stop here. I just wanted to fulfill my obligation as she tagged me days ago.

So I was just in the bathroom (restroom to you Americans!) and while I was sitting on the royal throne I could hear my aunt in my head (no, not the frontal lobe portion) having a heart attack at the 7 random things I posted for the world to see (because you know the world reads our blogs right) so now I had to scratch off two of the items before I even started! I don't think the day could get much better, with my aunt tampering with a list I haven't even made and me wanting to walk in the rain instead of writing boring blog entries or doing work that I'm supposed to have done already! So here we go before someone else tampers with the list in my head!

7 random things about me:

1. I used to work with people with disabilities and if the pay were better that's where I'd rather be right now, the internal gratification that comes from such a job is like nothing in this world.



2. I just finished taking the citizenship test and passed with flying colors, I still have to take the oath but even when that's said and done I have NO desire to vote, you'd think I would with the presidential nominations being so juicy! (for lack of a better word).



3. I've always felt awkward of who I am. I've never felt like I could identify 100% with African Americans but yet I feel like I am expected to. I've often felt like an Oreo (I know I hate that term too but it clearly explains my feelings) and I've never quite found my niche in life...especially during college and many times now I still feel myself drift and bob on who I am. I can still hear comments like you don't act black or you act too white. Stupid really!(I hope that one makes sense).



4. I've always hated when people name their children what "I" deem ghetto names such as Porsche, Mercedes or Diamond. (I apologize now if I've offended anyone).



5. I feel dirty if I brush my teeth after my shower as opposed to before I shower. (I know so anal it hurts!)



6. Every year I wish my family were closer and got together more often than merely funerals and weddings. (My co worker is going over to her cousins house who's hosting a grand affair of activities for ALL the kids in the family like an easter egg hunt, painting, cookie making and a big family lunch/dinner. I guess next year I can try one at my house but fear it will be a wasted effort and lessoned learned.)



7. I've never met my father and I'm honestly fine with it no matter how many times I might mention it here, but of course my mother begs to differ, I know she thinks internally I'm yearning to meet him, if only she could understand it's just not that way. It's all my siblings that I really want to meet, I heard papa was a rolling stone!!! LOL

I'm not going to tag anyone as I haven't been to not one blog who that hasn't done this one alrady...once again I'm the late one! LOL!
