RIP Steve Irwin

The famous croc hunter done in by a sting ray. I have now words beyond that. Is it bad that I'm disappointed its a sting ray and not a croc? I used to make jokes about him dying at the jaws of a croc, hell it was somewhat expected, but a damn sting ray? It's not even that dangerous of an animal(yes I know but still).

I feel sorry for his wife and kids. Losing a husband and dad...my condolences.

of friends and rescued days

so I met Gregory at the mall last night. we ate and walked the mall but was one of the best times Ive had in ages. Thanks Gregory from turning a fucksucky day into a better one.

He supposed to come by at 2 but its now 3:20 and his always-late-ass ain't here. We're supposed to go by Paul and look at his computer. Speaking of which you'd think Paul would call since its his computer that's spazzing.

I realized last nite that I really do love cussing. I prolly shouldn't but it's so expressive. I know some dipshit said cussing is the lazy man's whatever but I don't care. Cussing is very expressive and descriptive and I can guarantee you, it does get your point across so yay cussing.

I'm sooo fucking bored right now, bah!

the fucksucky continues

all day twas bright and sunny, come evening, it's raining like a bitch. so no japanese and sake for me.

now my mom is pissing me off. she refuses to get a temp job till her business is up and running and now she wants me to contribute more to bills cuz she cant and I dont have much of choice since I need light and water etc. So the money I was saving for my certifications is gonna have to be used. What pisses me off most is we've talked about this already, she knows how much I make she knows I can't afford this but her usual response is ask your dad. Apparently he's made of money, let's forget he hasn't had a job in what a year? and he's living off his savings. her utter refusal to get a temp job, a fucking temp job!

seriously if I could get a hit out on someone there's this asswipe in california I'd like taken out, it would be a real service to humankind, PLEASE!!!

today was a bust

I didn't skull work and I didn't get drunk :( Although David dropped by with beer. Keesh & Co all cancelled or watnot :( so the new plan is japanese, sake and poker tomorrow.

Gonna try and go to hellshire on sunday, some fry fish and bammy would do me good. Maybe I can get paul to take me after I look at his computer. I really hope watever is wrong with it isnt serious.

ok, i'm gonna say this again. I need to start running or swimming. I need a sport, regular exercise. I'm not liking this extra weight esp since I can't fit into some of my fave clothes. I wanna go clothes shopping but I dont want anything in my size now whatever it is, so I'm a need to lose some weight first :(

rog went to mobay today, he just called to say hes reached. things have kinda mellowed out between us lately. I guess that's good or watnot.

tonight is the perfect night to get drunk

called David and he's in! LOL, he's gotta get a new fone or get his fixed, his mic is busted and talking via beeps though funny gets annoying.

also called Keesha, she's supposed to call me back .

I'm gonna feel like shit tomorrow. Itchy rashes, prolly a headache but I don't care.

my blogger is back!

after I posted yesterday my blogger went away, so I emailed blogger and posted at the groups and its back, hopefully it won't happen again.

Guess who visited me today? Hi Rog!

I got my nails did!

took off the french and put on normal acrylic with bright red polish.

I looove watching dr 90210, the cases, whether superficial or reconstructiive, are always entertaining or interesting.

I need to get something pierced, maybe my tongue again or the top of an ear, but something's getting pierced.

answers that don't answer anything

It's still hard to accept that after 5 years all I'm left with are these hurtful feelings, unsatisfying answers and anger.

aww Ernesto

You ditched us for Cuba, thanks! Although, I could use an excuse or two to stay home.

Saw the season finale for 4400 and was greatly underwhelmed, just bah. No new eppy of Venture Bros neither :( Fall season is upcoming and I'm not really interested in any of the shows, old or new. Except Sci-Fi is gonna show the full season of Night Stalker :) Even the 3 unaired eppies, I'm soo excited :)

Oooh! One of my fave X-Files is on, the one with original Hope from Y&R. It was actually fun and had the usual intrigue :)

aha!

I think I've figured out why Filezilla kept disconnecting. I think its the VoIP. Ive plugged it out and I havent had any interruption since. I was googling it when I noticed the Run light on the netspeak blinking so I plugged it out and I'm transfering right now without any problems. Yay me!

Also Yay! Mariska Hartigay of Law & Order SVU, she finally won am emmy for her great work on the show. Congratulations Mariska, well deserved win!

I'm just sooo fucking angry right now!

Gorillaz = Brilliance!

Check out their MTV Cribs:



Thanks Nuri!

fucking hell!!!

Life is fucked up! A very close friend can very well go to prison for defending himself! Yeah it's sad that someone died but he was an ass. Dillon walked away from, he away and this fucker runs him down and hits him! ugh! Just please. I hope he's able to make it clear what happened.

Storm's coming!

And no I'm not singing Gnarls. Apparently Jamaica is in the projected path of TS Ernesto which should be here by Sunday which means tomorrow is gonna be rainy. And guess who agreed to switch Saturdays? Yes, me, joy.

So no movie or watnot for me tomorrow.

Woke this morning to find my DSL acting weird. I can browse but my VoIP, messengers and torrent client couldn't connect. They connected for a few minutes then went back to not working. I hope it works itself out by the time I get home cuz calling C&W's customer care is a pain.

New earrings!

I bought three pairs of earrings today! Two studs and one gold hoop. I'm loving them but I'm not feeling the hoops mostly cuz I can get my fingers tangled when Im messing with my ear buds but I can wear them on special occasions.

Spoke with Rog today. All I can say is I'm starting to accept that this break-up is for the best. If you still read this, 1436.

Gonna try and bring my linux box back to work next week. Even though my monitor at work is dark I think I should try Gimping again.

where's my manners?

Thanks for the hat David!

I love my sis!

She washed and combed my hair today :) She wubs me. We went to sign some papers for mom but the JP wasn't there so we gotta go back another day.

I was supposed to buy some earrings today but the rain caught me so I rushed to work. Ive lost two halves of two diff pairs. I may just go ahead and get the top of my ear pierced while I'm at it. But it's gonna hurt and I'm scared.

I'm working this Saturday but that means I get the next two Saturdays off. David and I are supposed to go this new Japanese restaurant that doesn't have sushi :( but he says they have more traditional Japanese dishes. I hope theyre good.

Anyhoo, it's freedom time! Time to call my cab and head home.

New stove!

Came home to a new stove today :) Now I can try a bunch of recipes I've always wanted to. I've got an oven I can use! So if a coupla days from now my belly aches or I get food poisoning you'll know why.

I'm currently jamming to what's supposed to be JT's secon single, My Love with TI. I like it. Kelis' Blindfold Me is growing on me. Tomorrow I'm getting Outkast's I'm sooo excited about that :)

I forgot

Got dim sum yesterday and it was gooood! then went by David's and watched The Hills Have Eyes and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. THHE was crap, not scary and not funny not even squeamish, I think I nodded off too. KKBB was good though, I had some laffs.

I should say thanks to Crysta, the Pantene is doing greatness for my hair.

And work! Oy! Kamilah was sick, Adrian had an exam so Monique was the only one in customer care. Lucky for her I was in town being dumped so I worked 4 extra hours today. Good news is the boss knows although I dunno what good that's gonna do.

It's official, when I grow up I'm gonna be Karen Walker of Will & Grace.

I'm single

After what...four years? I'm single again. Can't say it's a total surprise, though, I sorta knew this was coming but I guess I thought it could've been worked out. SO now you're baptized and I'm not good enough for you because fucking corithians said some shit about uneven yolk. I will say this and it maybe out of anger or whatnot but I'm sure I'll feel the same 10 years from now. I hope you NEVER find even yolk and if you do, I hope you are both fucking miserable. I hope she's a painful sad reminder of what you lost with me and I sincerely hope you regret this for the rest of your life. And not the little pangs of regret either the heavy suffocating type that keeps your ass up at night.

In the past four years, I knew who you were and I never tried to change you, I never tried to interfere with your Christianity but now your baptized it's a big issue? You can't date me but you can still have heathen friends and co-workers? But I suppose it's not the same, huh?

What really fucking hurts is feeling I'm not worth fighting for. I'm just dirt you don't want on your new clothes. thanks a lot rog.

And the devils on your shoulder that encouraged this, esp HER, congratulations, took you four years but you got what you wanted, hope you choke on it.

work is my enemy

Spent last night with Keesha and Ally and friends watching movies (Little Man[thank God I didn;t pay to see that tripe] and Madea goes to Jail[Funny!]) Then we went to Peppers to look for Eddie but he wasn't there so we stood outside and talked till like 4am. I enjoyed it! Chat bout dogs and whole heap a foolishness. I miss hanging with people.

That's why I'm at work now trying to sleep but this eediat woman won't come off the line with her dumbness. Me tiad a har now. 43 raasclaat minutes!

I'm supposed to sleepover David's tonight but I forgot my sleepover bag so I'm going have to go and come back for Dim Sum tomorrow.

Anyways me ago try get some sleep before the next eediat call me.

someone wants one of my babies :(

So Rog calls and he's like someone wants a bitch. I know I can't keep them all but I don't wanna let them go. :(

O!M!G! I just saw the ad for HBO's Rome DVD. I'm soooooooo buying it. That show is fucking greatness! Can't wait for Season 2.

I hate this fucking heat!

Oooh! Just saw the ad for Crank, I heart Jason Statham, he could soooo get it. So yeah, I'm a watch Crank.

As I was saying, this heat fucking blows! Can't wait till this house is done renovating but it's gonna take forever. Being broke blows!

some Anika history

Chris an old friend came to visit and ofcourse we chatted about the time that was. The time when most everyone were friends. The time when we'd all go out. The time we'd play dominoes all night and talk about everything and nothing. And now it's all gone, why? one couple.

Now this couple were my friends. Let's call him J and her S. J and I were closer, we share the same bday and we used to say that made us siblings. S, we were tight but not as tight as me and J. Their relationship, was bi-polar. Theyd fight, make up, fight, make rinse and repeat. Where the problem came in was their respective families weren't very for this relationship so they sorta snuck around. Everyone knew they were together but they couldn't be at each other's house together. This is where the trouble started.

Everytime word got back to their parents theyd think it was one of her cousins A or T. It couldve been them but not totally. The 'lady' that live to me is a A-class village lawyer(gossip monger) that woman, B, spent a lot of her time at her gate just watching people and spreading shit. And the lines we being drawn. S stopped talking to A and T, J didn't but their relationships were strained. I was friends with everyone but that was running hagged. Esp since shit was being said about me and J's sister's bf. (lost ya yet?) I was supposedly fucking him, heh.

Now, everyone was still basically playing dominoes and partying even with the strained or broken relationships. And I mustve been dumb cuz I never thought we'd split for good but we did.

I was pretty passive in this until S stabbed A in her sleep, she put r garlic or watnot on the blade so she wouldn't feel it and basically left her to bleed in her sleep. Did I mention A and S are cousins? I really couldn't be friends with S after that. then me and J's realtionship that was already strained broke. I remember that talk. He was mad that A had S arrested. According to him theyre family and they shouldve worked it out between them. I told him point blank that that was BS. She stabbed her in her sleep, left her to bleed ot death and she should continue to stay in the same house as her? leave her free to try again? he seriously just walked off and that was that for us.

S went to court and got probation and she and her mom and sis moved into another house up the street. I lost track of their drama cuz I was in the middle of mine. All of a sudden I was sleeping with everyone's man and me like the perfect idiot trying to placate everyone repeating myself and explaining the fucking obvious. Like for instance, R one of the bf's I was supposed to be fucking used to come to my house to play solitaire and wait for dominoes to start(his gf's mom didnt like him so he couldn't hang there.) My mom used to work the evening shift on Fridays and she'd leave like at 2 or thereabouts and he came around that time. Now this was before the addition the computer was at the front window whcich was always open during the day bcuz of the heat, same for the door. SO anyone walking past could see him. meanwhile my ass is in my room sleeping, cuz I was up all night playing dominoes or chatting shit. I wake up in the evening in time for dominoes and we both left to play. Next thing I hear, me and him were locked up in my house all damn day. 1) My mom was there half day 2) all those fuckers KNOW my house is too hot to lock the windows and doors during the day.

I would try to defend myself against this shit. And so the rumours continued till I had my fill. his gf asked me once if we were fucking and I told her yes cuz I was pissed. Shit Ive been saying 'no' for weeks apparently it wasnt pleasing to her so I changed the answer. Bitch hasnt spoken to me since. He called me asking why I said and I told him I was tired and she apparently wasnt satisfied with no so I gave her a new flavour and he laughed. It's around that tine we started fucking, I was getting the blame might as well play the game. That was some good sex.

Now, me and Chris rehashed all this and we had some luaghs but you know what's real key, the relationship that started this is busted now and busted good. he migrated and discovered he's gay and likes being taken care of by some guy. S was devasted when she found out but she's over it now, she's got a new man and daughter.

Me, I don;t talk to none of them bitches no more. A lot of my friends ask why I spend so much time in my house and online, that's a major reason. Not to say there isn't fucked up ppl online but theyre easier to get rid off.

I'm still mad and sad we lost dominoes and the fun but Ive gained a thicker skin and a realization that I shouldn;t care so much what people think and say about me. people are gonna always talk shit.

Hmm, I seem to have left out some stuff but my fingers hurt and this was good, typing this shit out was therapy. And if I was to type out all the shit I'd be here all night and my ass needs to get home.

another not so lazy Sunday

Bah! Didn't get everything I wanted done done. I did get mom's computers setup but mine isn't. Mom;s stuff is off mine so I dont have to sit around and wait for her to get off mine, greatness. Gregory came by to help, thankfully.

For some dumb reason Filezilla breaks the connection saying something about software error, annoying as fuck. All I wanna do is update my music and vids and stuff but I cant. I'm gonna see if filezilla needs updating or something.

Still haven't gone by Keesha's yet. And I feel bad cuz I didn't even call. First thing tomorrow, for real.

I actually watched Keyshia's show on BET. Got new respect for her. I respect anyone that worked their way up from a shitty life. I now get why she' got a stank attitude but she needs to reconize not everyone is out to do her harm, she should chill sometimes.

My screen is still flickering or what not, gonna try reseating or dusting off my vid card cuz it doesn't happen on my linux box and adjusting my settings change nothing.

Tomorrow I'm supposed to go get my dad's birth certificate sorted, but I'ma wait and see. Gonna call first.

Gonna go get me a shower, ttyl.

:(

Ok, the kids are fed, my hair is washed, mom's computers are all installed and shit. I still need to update my linux box though but that's gonna be later or tomorrow.

Keesha's grandad died, he had had a stroke. I was going to go by her tonight but I think tomorrow will be better. Sooo not looking forward to this. I feel so helpless around grieving people.

sleep!

woke up a coupla times this morning. I hate interrupted sleep. One of the times it was one of mom's friend, asked her where my umbrella is and she's acting like she doesn't remember but I'm just gonna buy a new one. The pups also waked me, one got herself stuck and I had to rearrange stuff for them.

I'm about to head back to bed but I got some computer stuff to do with mine and mom's computers, :(

Also I need to check out onlinetvrecorder but aother friend is, I'll wait on him but the channels are German channels and my German is non existent but I'm a still keep my eye on it in case it expands.

My hair needs washing, I'm trying to pull it out but I'm gonna go sleep and try again later.

One more!

So I go to check up on the pups and there's one more, a black one. My neighbor says there were more when she was at her previous spot.

Friday! No work tomorrow! I brought home my linux box, gonna update it and try attaching the scanner and scan some pics.

What else? eh nothing much. got some pics of the pups though:

I have pups!

For the past few nights Ive been hearing puppies making noise but I just assumed it was the neighbor's. Nope they're in my yard. It's three of them a black one, brown one and black and white mom. My other neighbor says there were more pups but I dunno where, I looked around my yard and only the three. It's two now, I dunno where the black one has gone off to. The black & white one has a club foot. When I came back to take pics he was gone. I'm a need to block off the hole in the wall so they stay inside. Here they are under some construction materials hiding from the sun:

ugh!

so, I heard game's one blood today . I hate, hate, hate, hate when they sample a song and twist it's original meaning. (that includes you jamie foxx and kanye west for wat you did with Ray's song) Game took a song about unity, putting aside differences to do a weak ass rap about his dumbass feud with his exes.

it's one of those months, when you've spent a lot of money and no idea where it's gone. I haven't made any unnecessary purchases but I'm broke and the 28th is tooooo far away.

Rog, it's been how long since your name was here? I called him to stop by me on his way home. This joker turns up at my office door, topless! LOL cheered me up, cuz I wasn't in a good mood.

walked to and fro Wendy's today, felt good.

and apparently my workload is gonna increase. not only customer care but sales? should be fun.

Finally saw the Cham + Alicia Keys vid, I like it. I'm too lazy to go hit up youtube and embed itm do it youself. I also saw a teaser for Smokin' Aces at http://www.smokinacesmovie.net/teaser/ I can't wait to see it. It looks very Guy Ritchie-ish, the lock-stock-and-two-smoking-barrels and snatch Guy Ritchie :) My husband is in it :) Common!

I subjected myself to what's supposed to be beyonce's next single. it's better than deja poo(love that name) but it still sounds unfinished, like it still needs some touching up. I'm not feeling this new beyonce. Not that I'm a fan but she could still put out some good stuff but these two songs, ain't gonna make it to my ipod at all.

Watching mr & mrs smith, I love that movie.

I have been writing, just not IOU(sorry Crys) Back 2 Basics has been pretty inspiring.

Anyhoo I'm off, ttyl

today sucked and was good

oy vey! today all the dumbasses stayed home and called customer care. I'm not even gonna relive the dumbness I had to endure today.

Anyways, the bf stopped by :) love you Rog!

OK, 4400 just got interesting again. Jordan is back!!! I'm soo watching Sunday's, I wanna see Jordan and Isabelle!

finally

OK, I finally uploaded the picks from last wednesday:

http://www.flickr.com/photos/hetairai/sets/72157594226924074/

FYI

Me being a Xtina stan aside, I'm looooooooooooooving Back 2 Basics. mercy On Me, The Right Man, Hurt, Understand and others! And I love that she's mellowed out on this album, her adlibs are suitably turned down :) I'm so buying this!

Back to regular scheduled programming.

I'm back!

lol, Ive been back since Wedneday night but I wasn't feeling well so I went straight to bed. Had a great time Wednesday though. Ate too much, swam in the sea(which reminds me I need swimsuits), hung with my cousins and took pictures. And you know what? All the food I ate I threw up on Mt Rosser :( For the first time in years I got motion sickness.

Idlewild at the end of August! I hope Palace don't make me wait too long! Every commercial, every music video make me wanna see this move more and more and the album! Dammit! I need some gooooooood new music. Apart from Nelly Furtado, Gnarls and India new music has been suckage lately. letoya's album sucks! yes I know she's #1 and she beat pharrel which means his album may suck more. I got some ne albums, Cassie's which I knew was gonna suck but I still wanted to hear it. Tamia's Between Friends is good though, I'm on the 4th track and haven't deleted anything yet. And I also have Xtina's album. I'm a Xtina stan and as much as I like her trying something new I hope it doesn't blow up in her face or my ears. Stripped was greatness so hopefully B2B isn't too bad.

I need to request Gnarl's smiley faces video cuz none of the torrent guys have it up and I'm getting mighty impatient. That vid belongs on me ipod.

As for Wedneday's pictures, I'll post them on Sunday. I'm trying to clear other to-do stuff first.

Pics!

ok, I used my digi cam and took pics of some pics of me when I was younger. I'm gona need to hook up the scanner to do them better but that's for another day.

Some friends of mine posted their baby pics and I've succumbed to peer pressure and posted mine. Here's the link to them:

Anika's younger pics

What did I do today, Emanciption Day? Took pics and slept. I'm gonna pack for my trip to country tomorrow. Well there's no packing since its just one day but I'm charge the ipod and digicam batteries. FOOD!!!!! hehe.

I'm a bad Jamaican

I can't believe Miss Lou has died 4 days ago and I'm just realizing it. I'm sooo sad now. She was such an icon! And I loved her most of all because she made our culture our language(patois) not just acceptable but something to be proud of. Watch me now!

RIP Aunt Lou!

early campaigning

the opposition party just had a long ass motorcade through my neighborhood. It's not even election year. It was really long, them in their green shirts piled in cars, trucks and buses. Nice to see they have something to do with their Sunday.

So I went to sleep again, prolly gonna go back again.

another lazy sunday

what did I do today? NOTHING! slept, ate watched some TV. Speaking of which, I'm glad I have NO gender confusion whatsoever.

so much things to say

another day and more nothing. Well not really.

I've got Xilisoft Video Converter, a great all-in-one video converter. I can convert my music vids and tv shows and put them on my ipod :) Life is good.

Came home to a power cut last night. Spoke with Rog on the phone to pass time then light came back. I dunno how I would've slept in that heat.

What did I do today? More "secret project" work. And I realized today I had more work than I orginally thought but it's all good. There is no rush but I'd like it done so I can get to working on current stuff.

My dog longing has returned. It's so bad now that I'd settle for a toy dog. LOL, I'd really like a Jack Russell Terrier. Fuck it. I'm gonna really start look for a small-medium dog that I can get or buy.

My fucking uncle choked my cousin. this grown ass man chiking a little kid. And he just acts like he's bull buck and duppy conqueror and I hate it. I hate that one day someone is gonna stop him from doing his usual crazy shit and get sent to jail. Why can't he buy bad drugs and die or jus OD. that's one funeral I know I'd be glad for. And yes, I know how that sounds but when you have a psycho drug addict who fully recognizes that they have a problem and just plain doesn't give a fuck, come talk to me.

Hmm, Ive been thinking about getting my own domain. Don't ask me why. It's not like I have anything to put on there. My art, lol. My fiction, riiight. Maybe fanlistings, I'm really loving Eureka and Psych. Gus(Psych) deserves a FL, he's hilarious. But I'm too lazy to make graphics and do coding and stuff. Which is really sad, since I do have the time and opportunity. But I'm working on it, really.

OK, back to "secret-projecting".

dammit! dammit! dammit!

I had my friend order Valley of the Dolls for me and they fucked up and sent me Beyond VOTD. I know I should send it back but I really can't be bothered, its gonna be too much damn trouble and money. Now I gotta do this again, ugh! Prolly just ask my dad to send me it instead. I'm so damn pissed and disappointed. fuck!

ok tried it

kfc's curry crunch, and it's not bad still not better than bbq and hot & spicy but its better than the blandnes that's original so I'll go with it once in awhile.

So far so good with the new ipod. I should get one of those ipod video converters so I can watch my tv shows or wat not on it.

Venture Bros = greatness! The Monarch is my fave, hilarious vilain. Necromancer is pretty funny too but Monarch takes the cake, him Dr Girlfriend and the Henchmen. And Brock! Brock can get it and he ain't my type.

New iPod!!!

I got my new iPod! It's a 30Gb, black and smaller than my old one. It has a color screen :) I think I can put pictures on it but I dont want to, waste of space. Now it's currently updating so tomorrow I can tune people out again :)

kfc has some curry fried chicken I'm thinking of trying, maybe tomorrow night when I'm coming home.

wat else? ok, mind is blank, so tomorrow or whenever.

backwardism

So, I call my usual taxi, got his voicemail and called base. Theyre telling me that voucher work(company jobs) has to be out through base BUT I can request a specific driver. And I'm like, how's that fair? It's the same thing except indirect. Look, I have like 2/3 drivers I normally call cuz when they say 5 minutes its 5 minutes. Plus when they drop me off, they don't leave till I get in and now I'm supposed to thro it out to random asses that say 5 minutes and come in like 15? So instead of calling my driver directly, I should go through the base, dumbness.

Haha, the competition is getting fierce!!! 4 and 6 MB broadband? Niiice! Can't waitt ill theyre available in my area :)

I actually wrote today, ain't that grand? hehe.

Exercised this morning, haha, almost forgot how but it wasnt so bad since Ive been running but yeah, I was definately behind where I was when we stopped.

I wish these work-from-home things were as easy as they said or what not, they seem scammish to me but if they weren't I'd be sooo into it.

I love Miami Ink, I haven't been able to watch it in ages because TLC has been off my tv for awhile but I'm glad it's back. I love Kat and her work. Almost makes me want a tattoo.

did a little secret project today, just a little but I'm nearly half way done this part of the project.

didn't do much else except swelter, its too damn hot!

so, gonna go sort stuff to put on the linux machine.

yeah

secret projecting is a tad tiring and I'm mad at myself that I slept through half the day. I didn't get as much done as I wanted but there's still tomorrow.

Wow, my dad is classic. Doesn't check his voicemail or emails so him answering my call was funny. He's like Anika? But my area code is NY, haha, that was fun-ish. Tried calling the bf's bro but kept getting his voicemail.

Passions back in the day was quite good. Hopefully now that JER is back full time he'll work on reclaiming that greatness but so far all he's doing is recycling old stuff with the new and old characters, not cute.

All this music vids are making me really wanna see Step Up.

fucking jps

asses were doing work in the area and instead of giving us prior warning the bitches came fucked up AND THEN asked people to turn off their power. I was just opening my front door wen I heard funny noise in my house and a commotion outside. Asses were cut some tree or the next and it hit something and caused a surge. Burnt one of our surge protectors and my dsl modem adapter :( I'm just glad it wasnt my modem and my new cordless fone and MTA device are fine. SPeaking of which, I had a id10t moment wen redoing it tonight. I thought I had plugged it in the modem but it was the wrong cable didnt realize till after I called Customer Care. Everything is fine now. I have net and I can call usa, canada and uk so I'm good.

haha, its that time of month for me, 3 ladies in my office and some of my online friends.

YAY!!!

Got it! Netspeak is up and running, well, the cordless I bought for it wont finish charging till tomorrow but I can make and receive calls so I'm good :)

I couldn't receive calls at first they went straight to voicemail but it was because something called SIP was blocked on my modem. After spending years on C&W call, I finally got a nice fellow that gave me wrong instructions but I had the power of google and I prevailed! Special thanks to Crysta & Nuri for being my guinea pigs!

I think my Valley of the Dolls DVD is here :) YAY! I can hardly wait to watch :)

unlimited calls to us, uk and canada

nope, I ain't advertising, but I just signed up for C&W's Netspeak, where I pay one low fee for unlimited calls to us, uk and canada with 3 way and voicemail and such. I pick up the thingy tomorrow, I also need to pick up a fone, I may just get a cheap cordless. SO now I'm on the hunt for landline numbers of friends and fam in us, uk and canada. I'm a call your asses then the newness is gonna wear off and I ain't gonna call ya in ages.

wow, I gotta get myself reacquainted with stuff related to secret project, can't believe I've forgotten so much.

mom's back! good news, she brought lotsa mangoes :) so i'm good and my hair is in dire need of a wash so I'm glad she's back.

progress!

I did work on my resume and I did go back to the UN site. they did have a tech opening but I don't know French :( It was something in Africa, Congo to be exact. Now that I'm looking at my resume it needs a new look and some beefing up so it's time for me to get some certifications, more like PAST time. Gonna do as Warren says and start with some MS ones.

Yay me! I actually wrote today. Not IOU, sorry Crys but something else, a throwaway. Also, another project that was on hold is being ressurected :) Can't say what right now but I'm muy excited.

Anyhoo, back to business.

I need a change

today was a good day in that it really motivated me to dust off my resume, not just say I'm gonna do it. I need a new job, maybe it will be the same shit or worst but I need to go. enough is enough.

welcome to jamrock!

where the raas do I start? seriously? I can't wait for tomorrow, I'm gonna know why there was an all island blackout for over 5 hours? well.. me already know why but me jus want hear the excuse. This shit is what happens when your govt is set of greedy Animal Farm pigs and sell your country out to the highest bidder no matter how shady their past is.

on a lighter note. bus preacher(s) + rastafarian(s) on one bus = hilarity. Took a 75 to half way tree and when I came on some christians were singing, no big deal. But everytime they hit a pause the rastafarians at the back of the bus would shout, "Jah! Rastafari!", "Haile Selassie"(to which one of the singing women would say, "Dead long time") I laughed the entire trip

heh

apparently power didn't go today, color me surprised.

nothing much to report. got work tomorrow, gonna call people that shouldve been called AGES ago but I'm the only one that checks voicemail so...

wow, stuff

so, what's been happening? stuff and nothing.

Saturday marks the day the toll is gonna start, heh.

New Season of Venture Bros fucing rocks! It's still funny and Brock Samson retains his shaggability.

Ive been writing, slooooowly but surely, but its better than nothing.

ugh!

fuckery!

And if that shit wasnt bad enough, more fuckery I have no words. But see this is why people have no respect fro christians and churches. how the fuck you back shit like that? how the fuck you stay a member of a church like that? wat the fuck kinda God do they think they serve? someone needs to burn that "church"

I can't even talk about anything else, I'm so fucking mad.

Quick ques

If blogging is for punks, wha does that make the readers of blogs?

Alone at last!!!

Yes! Yes! Yes! Mom gone a country for like a week :D Know what dat mean? I can be as loud as I wanna, watch what I wanna without the nagging.

So, if you need a place to throw a party within the next few days call me. But mek sure bring your own food and stuff, cupboard bare!

the prob with sleeping all day

is that you're up all night. I can't sleep :(

Warren's back!

He's back from BVI! Smelling good. They lost/left one of his suitcases :( SO my prezzie is somewhere, boo!

OK, gotta burn Foxney DVDs for Crysta. And prolly stare at my IOU some more lol.

so what

ugh! I've been staring wt my Writely IOU page since last week and I've yet to write jack. Which wouldn't be so bad if I didn't have these ideas in my head.

Went to see Superman Returns but it was sold out. Sovereign was filled kiddies, ugh! Gonna try get a shift change so I can see it Monday.

so here I am watching the craptastic movie just because of one cute guy, and he's just cute, I need Jesus.

Gonna try go for Dim Sum tomorrow but I'm not so sure.

Visited the UN Volunteer page today, forgot how muddled it is. Well, it's not really muddled but it could be more clearer, better organized. They have an IT specific Volunteer branch so I'm gonna sign up for that one and see how it goes.

today was goood!

Got to spend the morning with the bf watching National Geographic. Had a pretty good day at work. All in all, today was a good day.

Tomorrow I'm bringing my computer to work tomorrow, maybe I'll do more than idle on it.

Note to self: remember to check out UN, Red Cross and other volunteer services. I wanna try some free travelling and actually feel like I'm accomplishing something.

I got my nails done!

yep, went got my nails done, French tips, I really really like them.

Gonna see Superman Returns, hopefully its as good as the critics say, hopefully it won't suck like X3 did. I also wanna see Miami Vice. lol, I know, but I like what I've seen so far and it certainly can't be much worse than X3.

My scalp is flaking like a fiend. I need something that works, any recommends please drop me a line.

dr 90210, is a great show, plus its a great time filler till Futurama starts.

Gonna try write something.

*sigh*

the ride home on the 8A(yay! no 8A complaints tonite) some bus preacher, a young one, came on pimping his CDs. And he ofcourse previewed the CD in between his preaching/half assed sales pitch. I NEEDED my ipod then sooo bad.

Gimme!

This is the Nooka Zen-V and it's my new must have gadget, only I won't ever have it :( but in the meantime I can still look at it and imagine what it would look like on my hand. The company have other cool and unique watches and you can check them here.

First day without my ipod and it sucks. Went to the bank and this guy was cussing about some shit or the next and I couldn't tune his ass out with music. Than seriosly blows. I'm gonna go home and try a forced restart on my ipod and see what gives.

Hopefully all my files transfers are done, well the major stuff anyways. All I have to do now is copy over stuff like new music and gimp files and I should be able to bring my linux box back to work.

R.I.P. ipod

that fucker is dead. Fully charged and cant even do like 10 secs of a song. I gues old age and drops have taken its toll. oh well, gotta find new ways to amuse myself on the road :(

Woulda finished my files transfer today if my mom hadn't just up and turned offone of mycomp, then IMs me and like. I turned off oneof the comps, were you still copying? I swear, she rides my last nerve sometimes.

Which reminds me, I need to redo my resume and cover letter, I need a real job not tis fuckery.

I'm gonna get my nails redone, I keep biting them and theyre so not cute.

I love Dr 90210, I really think it's a great show but man. The patients sometimes, I swear they need a good strong right hand sometimes. And Dr Rey, like him, I do, but sometimes he's such a perv, or he comes off as pervy.

Oh yeah, some pimping , a very talented friend of mine started her own icon community, check her out: reroutedreams.

what was lost is found

Whoever made Active@ File Recovery and R-Studio NTFS THANK YOU!!!!!!!! I got my files back :) I got my files back :) Now I gotta recover copy to linux box, reformat drives and then copy back :)

So I'll be up late tonight getting my drives back in shape.

I'm gonna switch out my sata drives to ide fuck this shit. I just need to find buyers.

I wanna get laid!

sometimes, curses are blessings

$79 fucking dollars is the toll cap for cars on the Portmore toll. That's $79 each way. (for my 'merican friends it's US$1 = JA$66). That shit ain't cheap or even frigging affordable! That's $158 a day to go to work and come home. And the alternate route, oh joy, the alternate route is longer and will have Spanish Town traffic, so avoiding the toll ain't gonna be easy. Ain't I glad I don't have a car, well not really, since I usually work the late shift I could just take the alternate route and not have traffic to worry about but still...

So I've recovered some of my files, only the most important ones are left. My music, music vids, graphics files and my my documents folder. I brought home my linux machine, it should make retrieving and storing muy easier. then I can go RAID my hard drives and hope the problem ends. If it doesn't then I'm onna have to change out my mother board and/or drives.

Now I gotta figure how to get my linux machine back to work when I'm done. If anything I guess I can ask Warren since he works near me and drives.

Got paid yesterday and I totally agree with Chris Rock, I got jacked. for all the dumbness and insults I have to put up with gov't come and take a little over 1/5 of my pay. To do what? Live the fucking high life. They don't pay gov't workers people have to strike and gwaan bad to get all 2% increases but they can give themselves pay hikes and pensions that are fucking unbelievable. All for what? so they can sell us out, literally. Open the country so foreigners can come and do whatever the fuck they want like charge $79 tolls.

I love my country, I do but these fuckwads are trying to fuck up my love. And as much as I want them out, the opposition is just ugh! those fuckers couldn't get together to make a glass of sugar and water. A bunch of disorganized in-fighters.

All around fuckery, welcome to Jamrock!

another lazy Sunday

Well, what to do today? Call the bf remind him to take the pics ofthe pups. He says Mopsy is keeping everyone away, awww.

Gotta wash the hair, scalp is itching like craaaaazy.

Also gonna try and make a donut run.

Also, sort out some music for the ipod. Gonna start saving for a new one, cuz I'm now down to 2gigs of free space. I know it sounds like a lot but it aint. Besides, I want a video ipod, so I can watch my music vids and tv shows whilst on the road.

what else? nothing. except gonna try and do dim sum again next week.

I maybe a momma!

Rog's dog, Mopsy, had six pups. I may just take one :) I should have pics soon, gonna try get some tomorrow cuz the bf is going outta town on Saturday. I'm muy excited!

it's hurricane time again

and the good ole folks at water commission have decided to go on a test run. fuckers are on strike and have cut off our water. well not cut it off, there's water at the front pipe meaning they only left it on low enough for that to happen. So as far as water is concerned I'm gonna be living like a hurricane hit.

I dunno wat these pussyholes think theyre gonna acomplish but this isnt gonna make ppl sympathetic to their cause. I know what I said yetserday or day before but this shit has gone on too long. this strike aint gonna work, esp since theyre helping with water conservation. I hope they get fired and replaced.

I am now a donut junkie and this sucks cuz fresh donuts aren't easy to come by. gonna stop by a bakery and see if I can get some fresh good donuts but I doubt it.

burining up!

Portmore(where I live) is HEATING up! Dammit, any my house traps heat like a bitch. And work is no sanctuary, fucking A/C is broke with no ETA on being fixed. total fuckery.

Bwoy, if I was preggers my child would be marked I tell you. I wanted donuts from this articular shop and all fucking day no damn donuts, asses.

fucking crosses today, buses went on strike and the fuckers at water commission went on strike. hopefully they start acting right in the morning cuz I need water and public transport. water ppl I can sympathize with but the bus people, those fuckers can rot for all I care. Have people waiting at bust stops for nearly an hour on a nearly daily basis for one of three buses? fuck that shit no fucking raise!

The dog yearning is back...watched coupla hours of dog whisperer last night, not smart. Cesar has like a million dogs, *sigh* so unfair.

I hate red lobster, quiznos, DQ, Olive Garden. their ads always make me hungry and none of those fuckers are open here.

anyhoo this all my blogging for tonite. nini

another lazy saturday

So, today was a good day. lept in all morning and woke up well rested. Did some morning postwhoring with some of my online friends. Hilarity.

Sooo, World Cup has started and while I'll watch for a few minutes I'm not into it like I used to be.

I'm gonna change my Blogger and LJ layouts now. I need a change.

here we go again

*sigh*

machine has been BSODing again, machine check exception and the performance whatever has been downgraded to PIO on one of my drives. I don't have time for this shit. I dont wanna go through that shit again. O'Rayne is gonna be hearing from me.

school time aint over

I work with children apparently. My supervisor didn't come in yesterday, because she was sick, my dumbass manager forgets to tell us she's coming in today. SO he asks me to come in early so that pickney wouldn't be in by himself. Pickney start screw, I knew what was coming.

6:33 am Pickney calls saying he cant come in cuz his car isn't working. Like he can't get a cab or something. So I have to come work early only to see that my supervisor is here. So I came to work early for nothing. Pickney is still not here, I bet his car is gonna be working just fine tomorrow.

Dim Sum tomorrow!

Me and David gonna have dim sum again tomorrow. Hopefully I'll remember how to use the chopsticks, should be easier since I no longer have the nails.

Tomorrow I'm gonna definately be burning DVDs my TV drive is down to 23Gb free space, boo to that.

Started writing and stopped. I dnno, just not feeling my idea anymore and it's real frustrating not being able to express exactly what I want. I was thinking of taking an all evening shift and take like a summer creative writing course or something. Which reminds me I gotta check out to see if there's somewhere I can do Kendo.

Anyhoo, nini, I got idling to go do.

Today was a good day!

I loooove karma! And random acts of kindness. This morning as I was taking the bus some really sorry looking guy asked if I could pay for him on my bus card and I'm like sure. At lunch my friend was looking for shoes to wear on a trip so I was trying on shades to amuse myself in the meantime. I had one one I really liked turned to ask my friend's opinion and he wsa unavailable so I asked a guy in line and he's like it goes great with my smile So I continue voguing in the mirror and its the guy's turn to cash and he goes, "And cash those shades she's wearing." Aww, I turned and gave him another smile and said thanks and he's all like you're welcome and took his stuff and left. No bugging me for my number or anything.

Also, I'm thinking of taking up Kendo or some other form of martial arts, lest's see how long before I lose interest.

I left my headphones at work :( So it's gonna be a boring trip to work tomorrow.

Sunday Drive

So Saturday I finally went and bought some DVDs and a CD case so I can start clearing stuff off my hard drive, haven't actually started yet though.

Sunday had Dim Sum, I forgot the restaurant's name but the food was gooooooood! Gonna try and do it again this Sunday. Then I followed David to MoBay. I too my cam to take pics but didn't get some stuff that I would've liked but that's for another trip. Now onto what I did get:

David

Flat Bridge

Infamous "Pum Pum" Rock

That's all folks, I promise, next time I'll have better and more pictures.

life just fucking sucks

waiting

Here I am again, waiting to go home.

Watching Hex. I had actually watched season 2 and wanted to see it from the beginning. I like it. It was a tad slow at first but its picked up now.

I did nothing on my to do list today, no running, I didn't make an icon and I havent written a sentence and dont even ask about CSS. I read but I don't do jack. *sigh*

Ive been getting the urge to take pics again. Gotta get the cam back from the bf and reacquaint myself with it.

hunger = the devil

I is bored and hungry and no one wants to order pizza :(

Went window shopping for dog supplies today to give myself an idea of how much it'll cost. About $10, 000. That doesn't include dog food and primary vet visits. Doggies are $$$

I fucking hate ppl that make me repeat myself over and over and over! Fucker shut up and listen! Ugh!

I'm still hungry, and hope of food in sight. I'm gonna call the bf and see what he can do for me.

*heavy sigh*

bah! life blows I gotta put my adoption on hold cuz I gotta make a loan to someone :( So no doggy for me, not for awhile anyways.

What have I been up to? nothing much really. sleepng on the job, watching Great Teacher Onizuka(so far not impressed)

again i've slackedoff on the running, yeah yeah but stuff happens. Gonna run tomorrow

I need to get headphones for the ipod, mine are frassed to the max

I love Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Goren and Eames are hilarious.

Gonna attempt some creativity tomorrow, wish me luck and/or inspiration.

Finally!

The washing machine is installed! Finally procrastinating with my laundry has paid off! So no more hand washing, at least for most of my laundry.

So I'm listening to some MJ, that fucker was greatness once. Off The Wall, Thriller etc all freaking timeless. To look at him now, so damn sad.

Went to Gaucho's last night. More $$$ than I remembered but worth it. Food was goood! Was supposed to go have Dim Sum today but I wasn't in the mood.

Chris(contractor's son) says he has pups but no pics and he doesn't even have a cam phone :( I want pics dammit! Speaking of which, gonna start getting stuff for my baby. bowls, toys, leash and stuff this week.

I'm gonna be a momma

Me and my Owner went to the JSPCA yesterday. I saw a dog that I want but I couldn't just grab him :( I need to get some dog stuff first. So I'm making a list and getting an estimate of costs.

Saw X3, I aint gonna start on that crapfest except, its craptacular, amen.

OK, so I started reacquainting myself with HTML and Javascript. Even got a CSS for Dummies book. Wish I wasn't so lazy or uninspired but I am reading and practicing just not at a decent pace. This job is sapping my energy :(

I brought my linux box to work so I can work on stuff during down time and I dont have as much as an icon to show for it. boo.

Dear Nick Lachey, please go fade away, and take your ex and her sister with you. I'm sick and tired of all of you.

Labour Day!

Today is Labour Day, which in Jamaica is a public holiday in which people do communtiy projects. Cleanup, pedestrian X-ing painting, grooming schools, parks etc. Guess what I did?

Laze around all damned day. No laundry, no HTML practice, nothing but surfing the net and idle calling the bf. He said he cleaned his house, good for him.

Finally bought the washing machine, it's supposed to be delivered tomorrow. Which is funny since electricity and water isn't ready yet. The contractor was supposed to come today and he didn't so my preciton is gonna come true. I'm gonna have a WM that I can't use. This blows.

I'm tired of my nails now, I'm getting them cut this week, time to go back to short nails.

X3 is coming! I can't help but be excited! But I'm gonna have to ignore some stuff cuz I know there's gonna be stuff that pisses me of like Storm having brown eyes, few of faves being punked, ridiculous one liners etc. But I still wanna see it.

laaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy Sunday

Didn't do my laundry...bah but I did wash my hair and me mom(I LOOVE her!) cornrowed(is that a word?) it so I'm good.

I wanna sleep or something but I'm lazy(too lazy to sleep?) haha not really, USA is having a Law & Order Criminal Intent marathon, I love that show!

Anyone know anything that's good for breaking hair? Mine is breaking, not as bad as before but I wanna do something about it.

PS: I almost forgot

Unnu dun kno seh me no like JUTC but me haffi gi dem ratings. Dem recently put up bus schedule which gave me like 5 solid minutes of laughter cuz me nuh know who dem a try fool. BUT! Since last week the 8A has been very ontime. In the morning its usually at my stop between 8:05 and 8:10am and in the evenings it does as the schdeule says, leaves at 8:15pm Even though it still doesnt come as ealry as the 1A. The 7:15pm 8A comes early though.

Good job JUTC please don't let this be my last good JUTC posting.

It's raining rain

I feel like a change again. Both my Blogger & LJ, maybe I'll find some non standard layouts. Not gonna say make cuz I aint gonna. I haven't done anything of the graphic nature in ages and don't get me started. Like my creative 15 minutes are up or something.

Well there's one thing that needs updating and that's me resume, time to dust it off spruce it up and pimping it again.

What else is new? I need to go clothes shopping. I need sneakers and jeans, I already got tons of tops but I need sneakers and jeans.

It's raining, while I don't hate the rain I just hate that it makes being on the road miserable.

I had breakfast at BK today, well from, I ate it at the office. Croissanwich, bacon, eggs and cheese and French toast sticks. I went in for the French toasts ticks cuz I haven't had them in ages bit the Croissanwich called my name and I had to answer.

Oh yeah, I am running and exercising. We alternate days, run one morning, exercise the next. Not seeing any results yet except a few aches and pain and my endurance is better. I even downloaded the 8 minute abs, feet, neck and back vids. Too bad the rain is falling it's put a crimp on things.

I'm watching the Ab Fab series now. Finished season one last night. I love that show esp Patsy.

I think I'm gonna buy the washin machine this weekend hopefully having it will prompt George to come fix the electricity and water so we can use it.

My hair is in dire need of washing and combing, it's been...lets just say, a looong time. Speaking of hair, I used to have this really long strand a little above my left eyebrow that I used to play with a lot and accidentally pulled out, it's grown back and the part near the root is whitish. I don't remeber it being like that before.

My dog yearning has temporarily subsided. Although somedays I'm tempted to say "Fuck it!" and get one of those toy house dogs but thankfully theyre expensive so that keeps my ass in check.

I'm all out of stuff to post but yeah, I'm still alive and all that jazz.

Happy birthday to me!

It's my birthday!!! I is 26 years, 9 months and some change, yay me! Gonna eat sushi and drink sake later. I also changed my mind, I'm getting cake :)

I did my nails last night, got star glitters on. I'll try to post a pic later.

I have a confession to make, Ive lapsed on the running but I'll be back tomorrow.

I'm mulling taking over a website but I'm not sure if i'll have the time but its most definately a site I want up and running. I'd have to dust off my brain and re-learn stuff. Upside is I wont be alone but it's still gonna be work.

another day

bf came to visit me yesterday :) great surprise.

no running this weekend, yeah yeah, I know but i forgot to set my alarm, sue me.

sinus is draining, boo.

bday is thursday and i'm not even excited. I was gonna order a cake but i cba to. but I'm going back to East and have some sushi.

anyhoo, bedtime.

I love street talk

I love walking down the street minding my own business and hearing snippets of people's conversation, like this gem I heard tonight.

...go brush yuh teeth and go suck yuh madda...

Hilarity!


I am sore!! Two mornings in a row I went running, well, more like stretching, then jogging then chest burns then walking then jogging then chest burns then walking.

I upgraded my linux box to Ubuntu Dapper today, there's some kinks to be worked out but it's fine so far.

There's an official Apple reseller across the road from where I work, too bad they don't have any firewire cables. It's time for a new iPod, the video one. Ive had mine for years and its age is showing.

Co-workers wanna see MI3, I just may go see it. Speaking of Tom Cruise, found this hilarious clip of him 'dancing'. I know he's hated alot right now but he amuses me too much for me to hate him. Enjoy!

Went to Japan

ended up in Cuba.

The bf and I were supposed to go to East(Japanese restaurant) and on the way we drove past a Jamaica/Cuba festval and decided to stop there instead. I had spanish something rice and spanish something pork. (Yes, I got straght A's in Spanish.) Had some coffee cheese cake which was delish.

There was this energetic little boy there, running around amusing himself with everything he sees. I love how easily he was amused.

OK, my sexy is in dire need of preservation. I'm gonna start running for real this time. Already called Greg, we're on.

Also got this from Nuri:

....internet, gossip blogs like C&D, ConcreteLoop, IDLYITW etc and random funny shit like www.bryanboy.com

that felt good.

jutc is slick

or so they think. Went to their site file a complaint but their complaint page wasn't working, I wonder why. But they have a page full of email addys, I'm a email all of them and post it here, I need to vent.

Do all the drivers take lunch at the same time? Why was I forced to stand in the hot boiling sun for nearly 40 minutes and not one bus? And its not like I was waiting on just ONE bus either. I was waiting on a 70, 72 or 75. And on Wednesday, April 26, 2005 from 12 - 12:40pm there was no damn bus. Coulda been a hour for all I know cuz I had to call a friend to come take me to work.

Secondly, something has to be done about where the current bus stop is, no damn shelter from sun and rain.

Yay! Got my Ipod connector! Now I can listen Pink and all the new music I've gotten in the past weeks.

I hate my cable company, even WITH the cable box service still sucks! I hope Flow comes with some great digital cable service.

Anyhoo, I'm tired, bedtime.

weddings are expensive

so, went wedding shopping today, $$$$$$ eloping never looked so good. Upside is, Terra Nova hotel is really nice, great personable staff unlike Courtleigh.

I plugged back in my drives, so far so good. I replaced all the original sata cables so lets see if this makes a difference although I doubt it.

what a day, what a day

So C&W had some internal routing prob when it came to our email server so our customers on their connection have been calling and cussing all day. Got one call today, I'm explaining what's happening and the id10t is like, I'm not some Joe Blow you can't fool me. So I'm like, if you dont believe do a tracert, he's like a what?? Mute button is my friend, so after I had my chuckle I had him do a tracert and he saw for himself and shut the hell up.

Another guy, called last week talking about low connection speed and sloooooow browsing. So I'm explaining to him it's prolly his line quality, dude totally gets loud and rude at me saying the service sucks, nevermind its been great up until that day.

So he call back today, wanting help on something else. So I asked him hows the connection problems. first thing out of dude's mouth, "And I was rude to you wasn't I?" For some reason that cracked me up. And he's like "I'm sorry, you were right, I called the phone company and my wires were crossed."

Worst part of today was that I had to deal with the madness on an empty stomach. Had some great pizza in the evening though.

OK, O'Rayne is finally getting that I want IDE drives. This SATA thing has gone on too long and put me sooooooo behind on a project it's not funny. All this stuff is just backing up on me.

I really really really want a dog.

Tomorrow is Hailu's birthday. Still cant believe he's gone and it's times like this I'm glad I didn't look at him in his coffin. I dont want that in my memories of him, I wanna remember him alive. I miss you Hailu.

My first art...

This is my first painting. Done by Gregory Brown, my god daughter's dad. And I can't wait till my room is done and I can hang it there :)

for the last time

To the boyfriend,

I had already written this post out and the damn computer crashed so I'm gonna be lazy this time around.

Look, I'm sick and tired of having to ask you to make time for me. I hate that whenever your schedule laxes you find time to go hang with your friends and none for me. And NO! Me being around you while you're at work, or fixing a friend's computer or at my workplace typing away on your laptop doesn't count.

I'm tired of having this convo with you, hopefully putting it in writing will make something stick.

Also, if I have to suggest or remind you it sorta defeats the purpose.

To O'Rayne and this fucking computer,

I dont care what you do get me two replacement IDE drives. This SATA is shit. I'm sick and tired of having this thing crash in the middle of doing something. Now I'm getting errors about possible corrupt files. And yes I have all the damn updates for everything. I'm weeks behind on stuff I NEED to do.

On to good news, I brought my painting home today. Some time during the week I'll post a pic of it.

it's been awhile...

Where have I been? Home and work. And both places are a PITA.

@ work, we now have to do Customer Care for something else which means we have two new phones to answer, which would be all well and good, except, Ive yet to receive proper training and secondly, there's no queuing or voicemail system for it. So today, I'm on calls and the other phones start ringing. I can't put my customer on hold to answer it can I?

So after this happens the second time, they call wondering why calls aren't being answered. Which is understandable but I didn't like the tone of the questions, almost accusatory. So I told him, I'm the only one on duty and I was on a call. they need to go back to the drawing board and work this thing out.

@ home. After weeks of computer problems, I'm starting to get the full picture of my problems. Apparently the computing world isnt fully ready for SATA II hence my always crashing computer. New drivers, new cables, nothing works. I think, I'm just gonna switch back to IDE drives.

And something totally icky, I gotta be vague to protect innocents not so much the guilty. Gotta trust your instincts people, you gotta. So I was at Leela's home hanging when her dad comes to me all sneaky and whispering, "What's your email address?" I didnt hear him at first so he had to repeat it like 3 times. And alarm bells go off in my head but I try to downplay it. He's always been a cool guy, so I'm trying to tell myself, its nothing sleazy. So, I give him my email addy. I tell the bf on the ride home and he's like, that's how he is, it's prolly no big deal. I love him, always looking on the good side. So, I get an email this morning(yes, I'm posting it here):

shhhhhhh..its me..can you be discreet??

How are you?..can this be our secret??...let me know...then..i will tell you what i ve wanted to tell you for a long time....ok?

So, any volunteers for a reply?

JUTC does it again

So went to take the bus today, wat a raasclaat joy. 1st the 1A comes on top wen the eediat driver come talk bout is only one stop him a mek like di bus a Express but I wasn't in the mood fi him and him foolishness. A shoulda go pon the bus and press the buzzer fi every stop.

Then the 8A, the bane of my existence. The 8pm 8A strolled in at 8:35pm wid the driver smiling, wish I could make him swallow it.

Now I'm formatting my drive that I thought was ok but it isnt hopefully the prob was in the original partitioning or wotnot and I dont have to send it back, here's to hoping.
