When it rains, it pours. After working 6 hour of OT on my off day (ugh!) I rear ended someone while trying to drive to my hair appointment. It was raining and as I attempted to stop my car at an intersection I hydroplaned into the vehicle in front of me. The guy driving the car immediately reaches for his neck, then starts to pull over to the right. (I was thinking fool, you know there's nothing wrong with your neck, don't even try it!) I pulled over behind him then all of a sudden he sped off. I though he was trying to find a better place to stop so I followed him but after about a block or so going 50 mph I realized he was trying to get away. At this point my rational side took over. I realized that 1. I rear ended him and was at fault. 2. I already pay enough for car insurance and...

hmmmm lets see........I've calmed down since my last post. I realize that I either have to take the initiative and find myself a new job,or stop whining and complaining. (although whining is so much easier!) What else...... I went to go see " The Passion" with my Mom, Grandma, and Brother Lance. It was very difficult to watch but overall a great movie. I can really appreciate how much of a sacrifice Jesus made for little ole me. I also tried to see "Monster" but ended up leaving after about an hour because it was too violent. I guess from now on I'll have to stick to romance or comedy. I went to a baby shower for a friend from high school this weekend. It was so strange to see people I went to highschool with kids. You would think that after 10 years it wouldn't be that...

I AM SO ANGRY!!!!!!!! Not only did I have to work from 11pm- 9am Friday-Monday for 2 years then 7pm-5am Friday-Monday for six months, I just found out that I'll be working the same crappy shift for six more months! Guess that mean I'll be quitting the band I JUST joined!!! I don't know why I even expected things to get better at that HORRIBLE place. I NEED A NEW JOB NOW!!! I feel like I'm wasting my 20's away rotting in a box answering 911 and listening to stupid people complain about non-issues. If one more person calls about suspicious black males in the area that "just don't look like they belong around here." I swear I'm gonna shoot someone. Well, maybe not shoot them perhaps a beating with an extention cord would be better. I never see my family (and who knows how long some of them...

I had the pleasure of spending a day last weekend with Grandma Tubs, my nephew Josh and my mom. (If your interested we call her Tubs because she was very skinny until she hit her 50's then she gained weight and got kinda tubby hence the name Tubs) I know most people don't enjoy spending time with their families however God has blessed me with a wonderful family of strong black women so I enjoy any chance I get to hang out with them. Anyway....We took Tubs to a doctor's appointment for her high blood pressure. After driving all the way to San Francisco I didn't want to drive my car any further so we took her car to the appointment. She has a 1993 Saturn with 30,0000 miles ( yep that's it) so we all piled in. I reached down to adjust the front seat and grabbed something sharp. It was...

I am not insane,crazy, or delusional however I am totally convinced that Comcast is trying to take over the world!!!! It seems that not only have they monopolized the cable industry and the DSL market,they are now trying to buy the Disney Company!!! What's next?! The entire country and then THE WORLD!!!!! Normally I'm not even remotely interested in things like this however I draw the line when my cable bill is affected! My cable bill was never over $12.00 (for basic cable) until I moved. I only moved about 4 miles however, when I called to have cable re-connected the rep told me the cheapest plan they offered was $65 a month. WTF!!!! Well I made a few threats and told him I would take my business elsewhere! He chuckled and hung up the phone. Can you believe that! Well.....I was...

Drumroll Please.............I Am In A Band!!!!!! Yep you heard me right! The first practice is scheduled for next Saturday and I will get to meet the rest of the band which should be quite interesting, especially since it is largely made up of people found on craigslist. It seems that I will be controlling most of the music style decisions (oddly enough) and hopefully it will all work out well but that's doubtful. So....I've been working out 5 days a week for 2 weeks and my total weight loss is O pound. That sucks! Yet I don't know why I expected anything different. I am really grouchy tonight and don't wanna talk anymore so go away. I SAID GO AW...

Thank God it's my Friday!!! This has been a long week so I'll keep it short and too the point. Plans: 1) meet that music guy 2)Go visit Tubs in San Francisco 3) Try to get my taxes done at some point and 4)Relax (my favorite part). Valentines day is this Saturday and I have to work so I guess that means no Valentines day activities for me but as Outkast say "Happy Valentines Day- February the 14th!" to you!...

I had the nicest surprise this morning. I arrived at the Gym and found Steve peddling away on an exercise bike at 5:30am. Apparently he stayed up all night so that he could come work out with me! How sweet is that!!! We worked out for about an hour before we left. As we walked out the front door I commented that the sun was coming out and it was going to be a nice day. He replied that it was terrible and that he could not imagine having to see the sun rise everyday. Welcome to my world!!! Anyway,we went back to my house and had breakfast. No...... nothing exciting happened. (get your mind out of the gutter!) Steve fell asleep in mid sentence several times before giving in to Mr.Sandman. I should start a new paragraph here but since I usually ignore spelling and grammar rules why change...

Not much to say today. Had a nice relaxing weekend that consisted of: Painting with Steve, guitar lesson, at Steve's house painting, hair appointment, dinner at Horatio's, followed by Painting at Steve's. I know, I know, too much excitement for one person! Friday night I went into work late so that I could go to an audition. That went pretty well I guess but I haven't decided if it's actually something I want to pursue. The band was excellent and the singers were pretty good as well. My only concern was the venue....It was just a little bit ummm well... ghetto for my tastes but I guess time will tell. I made a very upsetting discovery yesterday. I have the arse of a 50 year old woman!!!! Thanks to a floor to ceiling mirror directly behind the treadmill row (how stupid is that!!!) I...

So yeah..... I joined a Gym. Don't really have much to say about that except it costs too much, and I am as fat as a pig! However I have decided to loose 20 pounds by July. I think that sounds pretty do-able. ( I wonder how you are actually suppose to spell that word if it's a word at all) I had an appointment with a personal trainer who tried to convince me that I needed to pay her $1500 to help me reach my goal. She told me my fat percentage (40%) is at an unhealthy level and that it is imperative that I get it under control soon. I figure if I am basically considered obese at 150 lbs 5'6 so be it, it's just extra cushion :-)bring on the cake!!! Next subject....The person who left that post on Craigslist (the "saprano" thing) called me back this weekend.(Yeah I know I said I hoped...

Okay 2 things....... 1) Why do people think it is cool to be Psychotic?...... 2) Is the entire Jackson family made up of Freaks? (Janet...Michael....LaToya [definitely cant forget her] Tito etc....) If you figure it out let me kn...

I am such a procrastinator! I have been working on a project that should have lasted 2 hours for 2 weeks. To make matters worse I spend a ridiculous amount of time dwelling on the fact that I haven't finished it and that makes me stress out. I really need to break the cycle and just finish the project but perhaps I'll work on that a little later. (he-he) Lets see......My weekend was great! Too bad I cant seem to remember what I did. (pathetic I know...) Oh yeah I think I stayed home the first two days, and worked OT the third (I also worked on a song with Steve). Friday I did some shopping with Rama and her 4 year old daughter after a short walk around the San Leandro Marina. That reminds me.... kids are SO funny. During my shopping trip I accidentally spilled Coffey on a chair while...
