On the Run...

Okay, don't feel like actually typing anything tonight, so I thought I'd do a vlog instead. I'm posting it before it actually processes all the way on youtube, so if you click play, and it doesn't work yet, just give it a few minutes and check back. Love'ems!

Lightning Round

I've been absent for what seems like forever....and unfortunately I'm not going to get too involved in this post because I really need to get to bed before midnight tonight, so, I'm gonna do a "lightning round" ( a term borrowed from my 'brother', Errick).

1. How about this...how about, I was afforded the opportunity on this past Friday, to return to my old job?!?!?! ...this, on the SAME day, that I was offered the position with the other company I told you about...unfortunately (or maybe fortunately?)..2008 is about change, and I've got to do BETTER for myself, so, I opted for the new position, pays more. Yay me!

2. Speaking of doing BETTER for myself, how did I manage to have another run-in with 'Ryan' this past Thursday? He was actually out and pretty wasted..and kind of obnoxious at that. Long story. Anyways, that's over and done with for good.

3. I got my taxes done today, woooohoooo, tax return in 24hrs, yeeeah baby!

4. Is it sad that I'm counting down the hours to Thursday? This'll be my last one out for a while, what with starting the new job 'n all :)

5. So, I've been resting a little better lately, for whatever reason. Last night was a little rocky, couldn't fall asleep even though it was like 2am when I finally laid down...I drifted off eventually. I wanna make sure I don't have another night like that though (at least on a weeknight), so taking the advice of Neal (who's pretty awesome by the way), I bought a bottle of wine earlier today and starting tonight, I'm going to have ...I think he suggested 2 glasses before I go to bed. I think it's working because I'm pretty sleepy..I'm just hoping I don't feel groggy n drained in the morning, 'cause wine does that to me.

6. So, I'm glad I didn't ward off dating. It's going pretty good. But, it's still scary, ya know? I'll try to expound on all this another time.

7. Uhhh, I think that's it. Oh wait, my car is almost paid off, yaaaaaaaay, what great news is that? I'm gonna hang onto it for a while and maybe look into fixing it back up, if I could find a replacement for ONE of my wheels (which is warped from a pothole), then I could get those put back on...get my brackets taken off the trunk, and it might be close to looking like it was before:

8. One last thing...since I'm no longer doing the Navy thing, time to raise up outta mom's crib (moved back home to avoid signing a new lease before shipping out)....so, the plan is by March (no later than April) to be moved out. Trying to get Candice here NOW so we can be roomies again...we can't wait!!!!!

K...I gotta go now, it's 11:33. So um, peace out!

I know that commercials were last week..but I love this commercial, so I HAD to feature it, I'll think of a new theme for this week (what's left of it), tomorrow!

There's Light At The End of The Tunnel

"I heard someone say that an air plane is off course 90 percent of the time and the pilot has to keep adjusting it over and over until it reaches its destination. I'm not sure if that's true but it made me think...We must set our goals and continue to adjust until we reach our destination and goals...Stay on course!" ~Reverend Run (DMC)

I was discouraged last night, in case you couldn't tell. As you all know, I had a casual interview last week for a job with a commercial construction company, it went well, except that I was told before proceeding, I'd have to make sure I could get out of my enlistment with the Navy. I took care of that (in person) on this past Friday, and reported that to Jeff (the guy I'd interviewed with). I usually hear right back from him, but I didn't hear from him Friday. No word Saturday. None on Sunday. And when yesterday rolled around and I STILL hadn't heard anything, I guess I started to think that maybe the interview hadn't gone as well as I'd first thought it had. I prayed about it because, remember, I told myself that if I didn't have a job by January 21, 2008...then I'd have to jump on somebody's stripper pole (okay...I didn't say that, and I WOULDN'T do that, but, hell, desperate times call for desperate measures, right?)...kidding, but I did say that I'd have to break down and settle on just 'any ol job'. And let's face it, the 21st is not that far off. So,I prayed about it last night. And a funny thing happened....

1. This morning my phone rang. I didn't recognize the number. I never answer those kinds of calls. About a minute later, I had a voicemail. It was a guy, with Jeff's company calling to see about setting up an interview. I called him back and he said that he definitely wanted to meet with me Thursday, but also wanted to meet today for a sort of preliminary interview. Well, that sort of sucked for me in a way, because I was absolutely exhausted...this was around 10:30 this morning, and I still hadn't been to sleep from the day before. He wanted to meet at 2pm, so, I laid down for an hour and a half (which coincidently did me, NO good..but I'll discuss that later). Arose w/the help of some of my friends (told them to call/text me to make sure I was up) an hour and a half later, and prepared for my interview. Well, long story short, the interview lasted from 2-3:30. I figure an interview that long has to be a good sign, right? I feel like it went really well. He complimented me on being very 'articulate' lol. I go back on Thursday for another interview with two individuals that I'd be reporting to in the given position. If I get the job, I'd start January 28th. Pray.
   
   
2. I'd applied online, for an administrative assistant position with a bank about a month ago. Never did hear anything about it. Assumed (and you know what assuming can do...) that the position had been filled or that they just weren't that into me (lol). Well, out of the blue, today, I receive a call from an unknown number. Naturally, I do not answer. A minute later, another voice mail. It's a woman from the bank calling about setting up an interview. Unfortunately, when I called her back, the receptionist (or whoever) told me she was on a phone call, I left a message that I'd returned her call, but I haven't heard back from her. And maybe I won't need to :)

You know what they say, the "Lord works in mysterious ways." And "He may not come when you want Him, but He's always on time."

Aside from that, I've still been really consumed by the whole 'Ryan' incident since last week.


"Pain, Is Such A Funny Thing. When It Hurts, It Hurts, But When It Leaves, It Goes...so much better, to hurt a little bit now, than to be so far gone, and hurt a whole lot, tomorrow."


I'm letting it get the best of me, and that's not what 2008 is supposed to be about, really and truly. So, now that I've had five days for it to fester, it's time to put a band-aid on the wound and keep it movin. I've got far more important things to be spending my energy thinking about. Wouldn't you say?


What else? Oh, speaking of things getting the best of me. I'm not sure WHAT to do to conquer this whole insomnia thing. I honestly think medical attention is in order here. Or maybe some over the counter meds until I can get to a doctor (no health insurance at the moment, so that makes doctor's visits sort of a ...no-go). Insomnia..what can I say about it? If you've never had to deal with it, I think it's probably really hard to understand. You think you know, but, you have no idea.


Alright, I'll explain it as best I can. Imagine you're a kid again. And it's summertime. Back in the day, there was one thing all kids looked forward to (and even now, still do..both kids and adults):
Ah, yes. The swimming pool. Or the lake. Or pond. Or fire hydrant. Or maybe even the water hose. Whatever source of water you had available to you. Do you remember how drained you were after spending an entire day in the sun and water? You know, when you're so tired you can feel it weighing your whole face down, not to mention the rest of your body? Well that's how I feel every day/night. So, it's not that I'm not tired/exhausted, I am, trust me.

Uh, so why don't you just lay down and go to sleep.

Alright, let me explain what THAT'S like. So, I get all settled in and cozy. I close my eyes. And here, begins the dilemma. My body itself, feels like a weighted log...very very heavy. You could probably compare everything inside my body, to a racecar track.
I don't just mean that in the figurative sense, like "my mind is going a mile a minute"...I literally mean that my insides feel like they're racing, but they've got nowhere to go, so they just keep hitting walls. My mind, my nerves, everything...just very very jittery. And it's a physical feeling. I can feel my eyes moving around (when they're closed) and everything!

So far the only things that I've found that help are:

• Alcohol (which is why Thursday is the only night that I actually sleep at night-well, early morning, when I get in, around 230-3-and for longer than just a few hours)

• Sleeping pills (which I am waiting on my pusher to supply me with...j/k...or am I? [insert evil laughter])

• Or, what I'm used to, staying awake anywhere from 24-72 hours straight, until I reach a point of exhaustion.

Speaking of which, I'm exhausted now. One would think that after staying awake for such a prolonged amount of time, I'd at least get a decent amount of rest. Not so much. Until 5:30pm today, I'd been awake since I woke up YESTERDAY (the nap that I'd attempted prior to my interview..was a joke, I couldn't sleep at all, mainly because I didn't want to fall into a sleep where I wouldn't hear my alarm/phone when it was time to get up..and in turn, miss my interview). So anyways, I laid down at 5:30 to go to sleep, hoping, for the entire night. I woke up 2 hours later. It's 1:29AM now, and I'm still awake. *SIGH*

I guess now's as good a time as any, to try again...right after this game of Literati... wish me luck (with the sleep attempt, not the Literati, I got that on lock!).

Temporary Post

Hey ya'll....

This is just a quick entry to tell you that I haven't forgotten to post, it's just that Thurs-Sat are usually kind of busy, being the weekend and all.

But I WILL be back to post soon....gotta report on what happened Thursday night...whew. (Pix 2 Be Included!)

So, stay tuned!

2008...It's Gonna Be Great

So, I met up with Jeff earlier. And I feel REALLY great about our meeting. He told me about the company and what all the position would entail, and what's to be expected and all that. Everything sounds GREAT. He's a great guy and I think it would be great to work with him. Not to mention the position itself seems to be well within my spectrum of experience. I think this is exactly what I need, to start the new year off right. But....

...yes, there's a but. There's one slight problem. Back in September, I...I, uh, joined the Navy. Yeah...don't ask. Just know that I did it. Swore in, all that. I'm supposed to ship for bootcamp on June 03, 2008. Well, since September I've sort of decided that that was a hasty decision and although I wholeheartedly think it would be good for me, I just don't think it's for me. If that makes sense. So, I plan, on Saturday to tell my recruiter, it ain't goin' down. Pretty sure you're probably thinking: uh...can you just GET OUT of that, after you've already joined and sworn in? Well, based on what I've read and what I've been told by others, I can. I guess we'll see, come Saturday morning.

Nothing else to report. Only 2 meals to day...but uh, look at what I whipped up for breakfast:

Gawd, it was good. Mmm.

Okay, I think that's about it for today folks. Oh wait...one other thing, I did part 2 of the Vocaburap (*see previous entry for the first video):

And now for tonight's excerpt from he's just not that into you- The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys:

Chapter 1 he's just not that into you if he's not asking you out Because if he likes you, trust me, he will ask you out

Many women have said to me, "Greg, men run the world." Wow. That makes us sound pretty capable. So tell me, why would you think we could be incapable of something as simple as picking up the phone and asking you out? You seem to think at times that we're "too shy" or we "just got out of something." Let me remind you: Men find it very satisfying to get what they want. (Particularly after a difficult day of running the world.) If we want you, we will find you. If you don't think you gave him enough time to notice you, take the time it took you to notice him and divide by half.

Now you being the life-changing experience of reading our book. We have put the stories we have heard and questions we've been asked in a simple question-and-answer format. If you're lucky, you'll read the following questions and know what they are: Excuses that women have mad for their unsatisfying situations. If you're not so lucky, we've also included handy titles to clue you in. *BEGIN EXCERPT*

THE "MAYBE HE DOESN'T WANT TO RUIN THE FRIENDSHIP EXCUSE'

Dear Greg,

I'm so disappointed, I have this friend that I've known platonically for about ten years. He lives in a different city and recently he was in town for work, so we met for dinner. All of a sudden it felt like we were on a date. He was completely flirting with me. He even said to me, as he was checking me out, "So, what, you're working the whole 'model thing' now?" (That's flirting, right?) We both agreed that we should get together again soon. Well, Greg, I'm disappointed because it's been two weeks and he hasn't called me. Can I call him? He might be nervous about turning the friendship into romance. Can't I give him a nudge now? Isn't that what friends are for?

-Jodi

Dear Friendly Girl,

Two weeks is two weeks, except when it's ten years and two weeks. That's how long ago he decided whether or not he could date a model or a girl who looks like one. Can you be a pal and give him a nudge? Nudge away, friendster-but watch how fast that nudge doesn't get a return phone call. And if you're dinner/date did feel different to him, it's been two weeks and he's had time to think about it and decide he's just not that into you. Here's the truth: Guys don't mind messing up a friendship if could lead to sex, whether it be a "fuck buddy" situation or a meaningful romance. Go find someone that lives in your zip code who will be rocked to the core by your deep conversation and model looks.

I hate to tell you, but that whole "I don't want to ruin the friendship" excuse is a racket. It works so well because it seems so wise. Sex could mess up a friendship. Unfortunately, in the entire history of mankind, that excuse has never ever been used by someone who actually means it. If we're really excited about someone, we can't stop ourselves--we want more. If we're friends with someone and attracted to them, we're going to want to take it further. And please don't tell me he's just "scared." The only thing he's scared of--and I say this with a lot of love--is how not attracted to you he is. *END EXCERPT*

Ouch. Been there, done that. No more.

If you didn't laugh [hard] a minimum of three times during that video, then I'm convinced that you've got no sense of humor, whatsoever.

RMwwwaahh.
SSS, out!

Much Ado About...Well, You Know.

I don't have much of anything to report on today, so, this could be pretty brief.

[insert your Hallelujahs here]

Um. Let's see...ooooh. Remember yesterday's post where I mentioned that I talked to Jeff about a job? Well how about this...last night I was doing something that I'm notorious for [filling out bulletin surveys on myspace] and one of the questions was:

• Look at your recent calls, who was your last call from?
  

So, I go into my actual call history..and this is what I see:

So I'm thinkin' to myself, like...um, dude:Clearly confused, I continue to scroll...I counted and uh, I called that number TWENTY-FIVE times.

Sigh. That's just senseless. Will definitely be using KEYGUARD more often. I checked the time stamps and they ranged from exactly 6:15pm to exactly 6:20pm. I called someone twenty-five times, in five minutes, lol. Wow. He had originally called me at ....::PAUSE:: okay...wow. I just made another realization. As I was typing this, I went into my AOL email and I checked one of the emails that he and I exchanged which has all of his contact information, and, the 564 number was NOT one of his numbers. Then it dawned on me...yesterday, my mom was telling me about some job thing one of the local newstations was hosting, where you could call into the station and talk to several employers there...and I remember I had to keep hitting redial and call a couple dozen times before I got through, because it was busy. So...thaaaat's who I called all those times, lol. Doh! Wow, don't I feel like a douche. I guess him not having a clue what I was talking about, when I sent an email apologizing this morning, makes sense now. At any rate...we're meeting tomorrow, yay!

Anywho, like I said, today has been pretty uneventful...as always I didn't go to sleep last night, I finally conked out around 9am this morning. When I laid down, I expected I'd probably wake up around 1, but I must have been REALLY tired, because I actually slept until 3. Woohoo, yay me, a solid 6 uninterrupted hours of sleep. Unheard of.

Aside from getting sleep, not too much accomplished here. I did make a new video though...

It's sort of silly. Well, hell, it's goofy as all get out (but what else is new)..buuuut, it was for a good cause, as you will see, here ya go!

Hey, whatever helps, lol.

I guess that's about it...oh yeah, I did want to start putting some excerpts from 'he's just not that into you: The No-Excuses Truth to Understanding Guys.' For those of you that haven't heard of it, here's a quick synopsis, courtesy of http://www.wikipedia.org/:

He's Just Not That Into You is a popular self-improvement book written by Greg Behrendt and Liz Tuccillo and published in 2004. It was a New York Times bestseller and was featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show.

Maybe there's a reader that will get something out of it, but, I'm also posting it for my own sake (read it, write it, memorize it, live by it, lol). So, starting from the beginning (this is from the introduction), here goes:

[so much for being 'brief' ...oh well]

YOU ARE ALL DATING THE SAME GUY

Hey. I know that guy you're dating.

Yeah, I do. He's that guy that's so tired from work so stressed about the project he's working on. He's just been through an awful breakup and it's really hittin ghim hard. His parents' divorce has scarred him and he has trust issues. Right now he has to focus on his career. He can't get involved with anyone until he knows what his life is about (*sidebar from SSS-this is the excuse my ex gave me after we broke up...smh...ok, continue reading). He just got a new apartment and the move is a bitch. As soon as it all calms down he'll leave his wife, girlfriend, crappy job. God, he's so complicated.

He is a man made up entirely of your excuses. And the minute you stop making excuses for him, he will completely disappear from your life. Are there men who are too busy or have been through something so horrible that makes it hard for them to get involved? Yes, but there are so few of them that they should be considered urban legends. For as already suggested, a man would rather be trampled by elephants that are on fire than tell you that he's just not that into you. That's why we've written this book. We wanted to get the excuses out of the closet, so to speak, so they can be seen for exactly what they are: really bad excuses.

Hey---do you remember that movie when the girl waited around for the guy to ask her out, then made excuses when he didn't? Then she slept with him when they were both drunk, and basically just hung around until they were kind of dating? Then he cheated on her, but because she knew deep down inside that if she forgave him and kept her expectations low and was really agreeable that she'd get him in the end? He was drunk at the wedding but they lived miserably ever after in an unsatisfying relationship that was built on a shitty foundation? You don't? That's because those movies don't get made, because that's not what love is like. People are inspired to do remarkable things to find and be with the one they love. Big movies are made about it, and every relationship you admire bursts with a greatness that you hope for in your own life. And the more you value yourself, the more chance you'll have of getting it. So read the excuses, have a laugh, and then...put them all to rest. You're worth it.

Mmm, mmm, mmm. Food for thought. Masticate on that! Provided I don't get uh...sued for posting these excerpts, I shall continue [and even if I do get sued, hell I'm broke, so I guess I'll just be washing dishes for some years :D ].

Welp, that's all folks. Only thing left now, is today's Featured Video of the Day...and I think the theme this week is, Youtube Videos That I Personally Find To Be Truly H-I-L-A-R-I-O-U-S:

Aside from the very end where they talk about 'next week's episode,' [because that wasn't funny at all], that has gotta be one of the funniest spoofs I've ever seen!

RMwaaah.

SSS, out.

Everything. Simultaneously, Nothing.

So, I've got good news peoples.

Earlier today, I was doing as I said I would; madly hunting online for a job. I found a few things to submit my resume for:

• Administrative Assistant w/a fleet service
• Receptionist w/a government contractor
• Administrative Support for the city inspection department

Plus, I emailed my resume to a few folks I'd networked with whilst downtown at my favorite spot:

Also, one night a couple months ago, I was having a drink with a friend of mine, at:
It was pretty empty in there, on a...Wednesday night I think. Anyhow, it was just me, my friend, the bartender, and these two other guys. So we all ended up chatting and seeing as how I'm looking for a job, that always comes up in conversation and is usually a good way of networking. So, I exchanged email addresses with the two of them (and we're all actually pretty good friends now). One of them told me that he might actually have a position coming up, and told me to make sure I stay in contact with him. It just so happens that I emailed him an updated version of my resume today. About 3 minutes later, maybe not even that many, he emailed me back and told me to call him. Long story short, I'm going to meet up with him on Thursday sometime to discuss a position as a Project Manager's Assistant. We're going to go over in detail what the position entails and all and if I'm interested, then interviews with 'his people' will follow.

I'm really excited! Wish me luck!

So, that's that.

Remember the video I told you I was making last night? The 'tag' video? Well, it's complete (with the help of Takiyah's creative editing, lol). Here it is:

Crazy, aren't I? Yes, I know this much is true.

As promised, let's discuss my slogan for 2008. You ready?

NO DATES IN 'O8

Yeah. Pretty deep, eh? A little far-fetched, maybe.

Yeah, I was out of touch/But it wasn't because I didn't know enough/I just knew too much/Does that make me crazy?/Does that make me crazy?/Does that make me crazy?

Possibly.

~Gnarls Barkley-'Crazy'

Part of me thinks it's a little absurd, but part of me sees it as a challenge.

But Robyn, WHY???

Well, it's like this....excuse me while I go a little *emo on you for a hot second.

*Sidebar-for those that don't know what I mean when I say 'emo.' When I use it, I mean 'melodramatic' or...'angsty.'

Alright, I'm twenty-six years young. I'm a woman. Fairly attractive. Highly intelligent. Great sense of humor. Diverse. Pretty much, awesome....wait, does that make me sound conceited? Because Lord knows, I am certainly not that, by any measure of the word. BUT, that said, I AM convinced that I'm a good catch and have a lot to offer someone at some point. Generally, I don't do a lot of dating, because, well, there just aren't many people that I meet that I'm interested in spending any extended periods of time with. Like I said in the first entry, I'm not usually [overall] attracted to many people. Which makes me...extra lonely, lol. I mean, I do want that person that I can hang out with and joke around, go out with, or sit at home and watch movies, walk through the mall holding hands or just, whatever. But, I don't want to get involved with anyone just for the sake of filling some void, ya know? Because, well, that's just a waste of time, and I've done enough of that. At this point, I feel like, as cliche' and cornball as it sounds, maybe I need to take some time to be happy ALONE...like, content with being on my own. And maybe if I can attain happiness when I'm by myself, then just think how much happier I will be, when I DO find that person. So, what do you think....a year off to learn to be happy on my own? Or is that a bit much? A whole year? Is it unrealistic?

I'm not sure. Because, there's always that chance that, while doing that, I may pass up someone that's perfect for me.

Que Sera, Sera (What Will Be, Will Be).

Before I leave this subject, let me touch on one thing. I don't want anyone to get it twisted. I'm not at home crying my eyes out because I'm lonely. It's a fleeting feeling/thought. Even when it's pretty consistent, it's not as if I'm just locked up in a dark corner or anything. I'm happy...I'm happy with who I am, and who I'm striving to be. I just know that there's something missing, if that makes sense to you.

Okay, now, let me bring the beat back, lol

I had 3, count em, THREE, meals today! Yay me!

Here's something funny....then again, maybe 'I' just find it funny because my sense of humor has reaching embarrassing levels of immaturity :D

This is from earlier when I was job hunting...yes, I take pictures of just about any and everything(pay attention to the last line before #13):

Aaaaahahahahahahahahaha. Okay, maybe it wasn't that funny, but, I did get a kick out of it.

Anywho, speaking of pics, I have an idea. A few years back, on my xanga, I did this thing where, people could give me either types of people or funny faces, and I'd take a pic of me and post it, in character (using whatever I had around the house). For example: detective, librarian, etc. Or for faces: disappointed, constipated (lol), stuff like that. So tell ya what, submit your pic ideas and if I get enough of them, I'll post em up! Be creative people. I repeat, creative. And don't be on no bull neither...I will not be strippin' or any other retarded mess, lol. K, that's that.

Another thing I think I might start doing, is having a Weekly 'Feature of the Day.' So, like, for this whole week, the feature will be videos. And each day, I'll post a different 'Feature Video of the Day.' May be a music video, a random youtube video, etc...just whatevers. Then next week, the feature of the week may be a picture, or a joke, or, well, you get the point. Anyways, look forward to that.

And well, I guess that's it for me tonight, nothing else to report.

Feature Video of the Day Because this will never stop being funny to me.

Oh Mr. Turner, You're My Hero. Here's to 'keepin it real.'

After these messages, I'll be riiiight bok!

SSS, out.

P.S. On myspace, I posted a survey on my bulletin board. That survey had this question:

What does your last text message say?

My response was:

Before I say...you have to understand that the person the text is from...we exchange really really really, randomly retarded messages. The LAST text message I received said: Do you think daphne performs sexual favors for crack? Cuz I'll get some...

LMAO...I feel like you deserve to see the rest of the messages.
Uh...to see them, go to my blog...sucka!!!!!

Okay, so if you're here to see the rest of that text convo, here's how it went:

Ben: one thing i never understood about scooby doo, do all of them live in that van?
Me: Yes, absolutely. Its pretty spacious inside.
Ben: So 4 people and a giant dog live in a van together?
Me: Yes. And they all do crack when they're not catching masked bad guys.
Ben: Do you think daphne performs sexual favors for crack? Cause I'll get some...
Me: No, but Velma does.
Ben: Not my first choice but oh well she'll do.

And there ya have it. Yeah, we're pretty outrageous, and it's like that ALL the time, lol. Stay tuned for future crazy messages.

SSS, {REALLY} out {this time}.

Maniacal Insomniac

*WARNING-RANDOM ISH AHEAD!

Would you believe, that from the time I woke up yesterday (Saturday...around noonish), I did not go to sleep until around 2pm today?

Quite ridiculous. And even when I did sleep, I only slept 4hrs, I was back up at six.

Insomnia sucks, I'm here to tell you. Nothing to brag about, if I could sleep like I used to, I'd be in business, I mean, I LOVE sleep, I just don't get enough of it...much like a few other things...*ahem* like, um-er-rum, food, and um, exercise.

I tell ya, this was possibly THE single most boring, uneventful weekend I've had in a long time. It's definitely the first SOBER weekend I've had a in a very long time. Unfortunately, I accidently left my wallet in Florida....so yeah, no driver's license...no funds, until my aunt sends it to me. That explains why I was in the house ALL weekend. And when I say 'in the house,' I mean, I have not stepped ONE foot outside the front door...in, 3 solid days. Wow.

Today, I've felt the most useless. I didn't go to church (that was one of the resolutions)....but, as my mom would say; "Lord willin', and the creek don't rise," I'll be there next Sunday (translation: if it's the Lord's will, and nothing bad happens between now and Sunday, that would hinder me from going, I'll be there). I haven't worked on any music. Haven't read any books...didn't eat 3 meals (I did have 2 though, which is actually a step in the right direction, lol...that is so very sad, lol). Um, yeah, I haven't done squat today.

To my credit though, I did manage to brush my teeth, and shower. Played a few games of literati, with my new literati buddy, Kyley. Check out some of the letters I had...in one instance, I had my name, and in another, well, I'll let you figure it out:

Pretty bizarre, right? Yeah, I know.

What else did I do...um, oh yeah, I was 'tagged' by Takiyah J on Youtube to do one of those '5 Things About Me' videos. It's a done deal, I'll be posting it later, I asked Takiyah to add her editing touches to my video to make it all snazz (that's my new word for 2008). Ohhh, I did a little editing myself earlier and made this:

And other than that, the only other thing I've accomplished today...is writing this blog, lol. At least I'm sticking to it, right?

Tomorrow, I'll be on a major redidication to finding a job. I'm giving myself exactly two weeks, to find a new job. Administrative, that is. If I don't have one, or the promise of one, two weeks from tomorrow, then, Hooters, here I come!

..........................................................done laughing yet?

You may laugh, because, CLEARLY, I'm more likely to be rockin' a shirt like this:

...than one like this:

Ironically enough though, I can't rememember going to Hooter's a single, solitary time, without being recruited to work there...I ALWAYS leave with an application. Always.



So yeah, two weeks to find a 'desk job' (not exactly my cup of tea either, but, until I reach true rockstar status, it'll due), then I just might be hittin' up my local hooters, and maybe a mall job too...gotta do what I gotta do, to get where I wanna be, ya know?


And well, I guess that's about it for now...I wanna tell you about my new slogan for '08...some of you have already heard it...but, I'll save that for tomorrow's post...give you (all what....five of you, lol) a reason to come back.



Oh yeah, one other thing, I think I'm gonna start havin' lil' themes, I used to do that on my xanga site, for instance: song of the day, quote of the day, video of the day, picture of the day, etc.



For now, since it's stuck in my head, I'll leave you with a video of one of my favorite songs in the whole wide world:



VIDEO OF THE DAY: John Mayer-Slow Dancing In A Burning Room


I wanna play guitar like him when I grow up. He kills it, check the end, around 4:45 seconds into it, he KILLS it. I <3 John Mayer! The end.


P.S. I just noticed that the photo I posted the blk n white one didn't show up all the way, there's a 3rd 'me' in the pic with Swagger...oh well.

SSS, out.

Welcome 2 The School of Life: V. 2008

Yeah, so, here I am.

In an effort to pick up on my writing again, I've created this...rather snazzy (if I do say so myself) blog.

::Cue the balloons, confetti, and noise makers::

I'll be using this space to: b!tch and moan. babble and ramble. shoot the sh!t. be completely and utterly random. um, and whatever else I see fit. If you were ever a frequenter of my xanga (http://www.xanga.com/losttrezher ), then you're already familiar with my style. Except, this time around I think I'll be even more candid. Even more honest. Even more I don't give a f*** if YOU (whoever the YOU might be, at any given time) find this page and read it. Um, even more random. Ultimately, even more entertaining. Enjoy!

Okay, so, now what?

I usually don't 'do' New Year's Resolutions, but, this is 2008, people. And I'm living by a few different themes, one of them being:

1. If you do the things you've always done, you'll have the things you've always had.

So, with that said, here are the things I plan to accomplish in 2008.

• 
  
  Be more selfish. (If you know me, you know what I mean)


• 
  
  Only make time for the people that make time for me (I suggest you do the same)


• 
  
  Hang out in the bar(s) less (to include, drinking less)


• 
  
  Go to church, more...wait, go to church, period.


• 
  
  Find a job (maybe that should have been at the TOP of the list


• 
  
  Continue to dedicate time to my music, and remember that 'good enough' is NOT good enough


• 
  
  READ (I keep buying books, but never make myself read them)


• 
  
  Eat 3 meals a day (thanks, mom)


• 
  
  MOVE to Florida in SIX MONTHS


• 
  
  Grind (as in, work my @$$ off in all that I do, and yield results)


• 
  
  Start a blog...and actually write something, ANYTHING, every day.

I have some others, but, that's the 'meat' of it all. At least I've got half of the last resolution complete.

I guess that's all for now, but, "I'll be bok."

Signing Off,

SSS, out.
