Girls don't like boys, girls like cars and money

I got back from NY on the 5th and it's been nothing but shit for the past 15 days. I'm really counting on things to turn around.

Good news is that I might have two jobs which means I will be able to go shopping and purchase luxury items that will not only brighten my day but define my psyche (ha...). I'm also positive that these items will provide me countless days of joy and amusement (lies).

I really want- I MEAN NEED- these Christian Louboutin leather pumps. Ever since New York, my feet have become accustomed to a type of abuse they never endured before. I would love nothing more than for these pumps to molest my tiny feet mercilessly.

Purchase here

I wear a size 5. Just in case someone wanted to buy them for me...





This Fendi Pouchette is actually affordable (and when I say affordable I really mean I've spent more on a purse). I will most likely buy this in a couple weeks, the more I think about it...

Siren

How did we get here?
I meant every word I said, while you swore everything with your fingers crossed behind your back
Empty promises leaked from your lips, forming an acidic puddle around my feet
Momentarily trapping me

I'm not a lost cause; I just grew tired of proving myself to you
You wear a pretty mask to hide all the ugly harbored deep inside
Your song had me transfixed like a sailor drawn to a siren
I nearly crashed into your wake

What a slacker I've become

I've had computer issues pretty much the entire time I've been here in New York. I come home tomorrow and will have plenty to post within the next few days.

I am the cute one... he's just my brother

Side note: I wrote this on LAST Saturday but didn’t get around to posting it until now!

Friday night started innocently enough, we (Lauren, my fiancĂ©) picked up Melissa from her apartment that was slain so viciously by fire the night before (her bedroom ceiling collapsed onto her bed from the fire her neighbor started). I don’t know what I’d do if my little munchkin had been sleeping in that bed when it happened. I’d probably triple axel myself into depression! After picking her up we went to our friend Jason’s house. We did paper, rock, scissors to determine who was going to drive to the bar from Jason’s. Lauren lost, therefore making her the prime candidate to drive. SO, Jason drove, because that made more sense apparently. I’m sure Jason felt like such a pimp (going to the bar with four chicks), even though he told us he felt gay. Nonsense!

First lie of the night: I told an elderly woman that Jason was my brother. Not only was he my brother but he was also my twin. I don’t know why I did that (wasn’t really drunk), I guess mainly for my own amusement. I asked her to tell us who was the more attractive twin. She called me shallow. We left.

We proceeded to the next bar which made us all feel like we were at a wedding reception; the electric slide was playing and I’m sure somebody somewhere was doing the Macarena. On the way there I was eye raped by a woman who told me to shake my thang and that she wanted to do me. I don’t know why she felt compelled to say this. Perhaps it was because I was wearing purple? We found a table outside and sat down. We were joined by a monster of a man who begged to buy my bra. Yea, that’s right. He wanted to purchase the bra I was wearing for $40.oo claiming they needed it for a bachelor party (scavenger hunt??). I told him he needed to step it up. $60.00 for the bra and it was his. Why you ask? Well the bra cost $50.00 and if I’m selling some stranger my bra he should buy me a new one right? He declined my offer and tried to haggle with me. Doesn’t matter; he didn’t get my bra. I knew he wouldn’t pay $60.00 which means he wouldn’t have paid $100.00 (which is what I really would sell it for… that’s a $50.00 profit). By the way, I told him my name was Anna…

Other lies that ensued, but I really can’t remember full details because of the drank, were that my mother was black (I was called a racist because I didn’t want to talk to some man on a dark corner at 2 AM) and I had been married for two years and Melissa was a junior bridesmaid (she is now 17 ya’ll). I can only hope I have more interesting weekends coming my way…

Book of... shit

I figured I would write about two of the worst books I have ever read (actually I didn't finish them...oh and they were audio books). Keep in mind that I will pretty much read anything; from Gossip Girl books to biographies about Hilter. Furthermore, not only do I read books such as Gossip Girl, I enjoy them (go ahead... LAUGH). HAHAHA SO FUNNY! But I digress...

A few months ago I went on a literature journey that led me nowhere. I had heard that Brad Meltzer writes a mean and entertaining book. I checked out the audio book (so I could listen at work!) of "Book of Lies" and ascertained that I would enjoy such a thriller. I mean, a book that boasts correlations between Cain and Abel (from the bible) and Superman, this shit had to be good. I la la la LOVE stuff involving the bible and ADORE fantastical, whimsical fables involving Super heroes. If this book had been read by Justin Timberlake I believe I would have jized in my pants from hitting such a trifecta jackpot! So, basically it had me at bible/comic book thriller but lost somewhere around Chapter 5. If I’m being honest I actually lost interest by the 2nd chapter.

ANYWAYS, I was appalled that there weren’t any cuss words on the first, second, or third disc (which is probably how far I got). Now, I can really respect a book that doesn’t use fuck, shit, etc BUT Mr. Meltzer here just substitutes “potty mouth terms” with ridiculous shit like “What the crap” or something about “I’m a lawyer you monkey” (actually that might have been in “Book of Fate”).

I couldn’t even finish the book because of the shitty dialogue and the way the overdramatic “actor” read each sentence. It was painful to listen to; every line was delivered in a tone that should be reserved for sentences like “You have cancer; you have two weeks to live” or “The world is going to be destroyed by a meteor in two days; we are all going to die”. It was like watching Paris Hilton dance- I mean flap about like an albatross. Something no one should ever be subjected to. It’s embarrassing just to observe.

So I stopped listening to it. A few days later I decide that I’m going to try and listen to his other book which is called “Book of Fate” (he must have spent HOURS coming up with the title). “Book of Fate” is about a young Presidential Aid who gets shot in the face and it leaves him permanently disfigured, blah blah free masons, blah blah, faked death. Much to my dismay it was narrated by the same douche that recorded the other one. I’m obviously a sick, pathetic person to allow myself to check out this audio book. I knew I would be annoyed…


I actually got further in this book than I did with “Book of Lies”, mainly, because I found it so fucking hysterical. Same style of dialogue, which is absurd because I can tell you right now if someone was threatening my life or chasing me down with guns I wouldn’t be saying “what the crap” or calling people “monkeys”. I would probably be shouting things that could make Howard Stern blush. But I digress…


Anyways, turns out the Presidential Aid, Wes, discovers that the President’s best friend (that was assassinated the day he was shot in the face) isn’t dead at all. SO, he tries to unlock the truth with, wait for it…. Wait for it…. CROSSWORD PUZZLES. That’s right ladies and gents… the secret to the worst day of his life unravels in a crossword puzzle that the President did. I can’t even go on about this anymore because I actually fear that I will make people dumber for reading all of this. Har har…


The message that I am trying to convey is… don’t read these books. You will get Chlamydia and die. No, not really but they do suck and are anticlimactic.

Sort of off topic but does anyone see the resemblence. Maybe not an Albatross... perhaps Big Bird?

Mindfck

Wow, I haven't posted in a while. I've had a VERY exciting past few days. This past Friday was an eventful one! I've had an inkling, for over a month, that they were going to lay off our department at work. Financially (FOR THEM) it makes sense. Corporations have been doing it for a while now and DHL decided that it wanted to be cool so they are laying off people in my department and giving our jobs to those in India! WOW! Who would have thought?! ANYWAYS, they pile us all into a room like cattle off to the slaughter house, and tell us that we are the elite group that will lose our jobs. Apparently they are keeping 10 employees for the department. O well, I'm quiting (is that spelt right?) in two weeks anyways. Off to New York I go.



You know what really pisses me off? People that ride bikes ON THE ROAD. That's what sidewalks are for. I get that sometimes there isn't a sidewalk but most of the time there is. I don't want to hit your spandex ass so please stay OFF THE ROAD.



Further more, why are my pictures (above) all jacked up. It's almost like they are scared to be aligned...

Somebody's paying the piper

My cousin was killed in a hit and run accident back in Feb. Here's the article: http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/article1002198.ece#comments

The girl that supposedly did it went to court today and got away with it. Even though she apparently admitted to the cops she did it (but she wasn't read her miranda rights so they can't use that against her). It was dismissed. She didn't even get a FUCKING PARKING TICKET.
