Site Info UpdateHey loyal readers! I just wanted to take a quick minute to say thank you for getting the blog to #22 on WordPress’s GROWING BLOG list as of September 26, 2009. We fell from #12 a month earlier but that’s OK. I know I fell off at the beginning of October so that affected my standings [...]

So This Week … (A Rant)I need to talk about a couple things that happened in the news this week. Entertainment and otherwise. I’ve been on forums, blogs and the like to see some disturbing fuckery that has brought me here to vent. First up, the shootings in Fort Hood, Texas on November 5, came as a shock to many. My [...]

Zo! – “…Just Visiting, Too”Music cannot get no righter than this right here. I think this is probably one of the smoothest EP’s I’ve heard in a minute. I just sat and played Joss Stone’s new album front to back for 2 days straight and thought music was on point but THEN, just a few mins ago, I got [...]

Tick Tock – KeshaI first heard this on Melrose Place (I think ….) and haven’t heard it again til today while I was in the change room trying on clothes .. but all I can say is that this song gets me hype for some reason. I just really like it … It’s a lot of fun [...]

This Movie BlowsI don't know.
I have three choices

Myself.
M. Night Shamamablam
Mark Wahlberg

I'm mad as HELL right now, y'all. It took me almost 3 hours to watch this crap movie, The Happening. I know, I know. I'm already punishing myself. I don't need it from y'all, too.
So, I was at my mom's house the other day and I was looking at my brothers extensive DVD collection. This guy has way too many DVD's. Most are action and horror flicks and most I've seen at least once except this movie The Happening. I VAGUELY recalled people talking about it last year but I truly couldn't recollect the plot. I read the back and it didn't sound too bad, PLUS, Mark Wahlberg was in it AND I liked M. Night Shamamablam's previous works.
Note: I'm not being racist. I can say his name (I think) but I just can't spell it and I'm too mad to google it.
Carrying on. I took it home and just finished watching it. I asked my followers on Twitter if it was a good movie and I heard it was "OK" and "No, it's not" ... lol. So, upon hearing that I said, well .... even if its crap, I'll at least be able to look at Marky Mark for an hour or two.
WRONG!
I couldn't even stomach his soft, whispery "David McCall in Fear" type voice. Sure, he looked great but his acting was heartwrenchingly BELOW average. The entire cast was horrible. The so-called "Army guy" was just terrible ... I didn't get the whole "hot dogs" thing. And Jon Leguizamo angered me (tho, I'm mad the director gave him so many close ups so that I would and could see his two brown front teeth!). The best actress in the movie was the mother of Stacy Ann ... like wtf? Give that bitch an Oscar ... argh!
I'm pissed off at myself for even WATCHING this shit. Man, this movie didn't have my attention at all. I was downloading albums, tweeting and eating cupcakes and that movie stayed on pause. I only watched the entire thing because I was curious as to how this piece of shit film would end.
So it's like ....
Do I stay mad at myself because it was ME who could have just stopped the flick and used the DVD as a cheese grater (in which case my brother would KILL me)? Or do I blame the director for making some good movies and using his resume and reputation to sucker me into watching this poor excuse for cinema? OR do I blame Mark for misleading and tricking me into thinking his face could save this movie?
I don't know. I'm willing to share the blame equally. I guess. Like I told Twitter: I would rather take a shit, wipe my ass and stare at the toilet paper for 8 hours than watch this movie, or one just like it, EVER again.
Wait! A thought just occured to me!!! I can blame my brother! As I always have. Growing up I blamed him for EVERYTHING. I blamed him when the sun wouldn't shine, I can SURELY blame him for this! If he never had this flick in his DVD collection, then I wouldn't have ever been dumb enough to choose it. BAM! Problem solved!"Just because you leave physically, doesn't mean your heart won't remain" -Cori Elle

I Got It

Remember my last post about that interview and the job I wanted? WELL I GOT IT, FOLK!
Man oh man. God is good.
Rev. Run said this on Twitter a couple weeks ago: "Is prayer your steering wheel or spare tire? And it got me to thinking about a lot of things. Sure, I've prayed a lot more when times were down but I never neglected thanking God when times were up. You ALWAYS have to remember that. Let God guide you and show you where you need to be, don't only call on him when you need or desire help. Real talk.
It's been a VERY rough couple of months. It's been tough mentally, financially, emotionally. Those closest to me know how much I've sacrificed and what I've been going through so to finally have some good news has been amazing.
I went in to the interview yesterday morning thinking I'd be offered a front desk position but was slightly crushed when she said she'd filled the position but thought I'd be capable of more (right off the bat that to me sounded like she saw something great in me) and offered me a position in the clinic. I was intrigued but a little concerned: I had NO hands on experience and this would be my first job in such a field. She assured me there was no need to worry as everything I needed to know would be taught to me by other staffers. I relaxed a bit and asked about the opportunity to grow within the company and was this an option for me, and more importantly for this position? She said there was and that depending on how hard I work and how bad I want it, I could, in a couple years actually assist the doctors on surgeries. Whoa. I was floored, excited, nervous and exhilarated all at once. My official title is Ophthamologic Clinical Technician. I'm responsible for pre-screening patients, testing and prepping them before they are seen by the specialist and just general overall customer service to make a patient feel comfortable and at ease once they've been entrusted to us and the center.
This is like a dream job for me and I want to thank everyone who kept my spirits up when they were down. For everyone who flooded me with positivity and prayed for me and especially to God who answered my prayers.
I truly believe if you put out positivity into the Universe you will see that positivity come back to you. The Laws of Attraction are REAL, people. Believe this.
In other news I decided to celebrate with steaks and cupcakes. I'm tight with the funds right now so after I get that first pay cheque I'll for SURE be taking myself out to dinner but I'm not complaining ... who wouldn't want to eat a few of these?

I've had about 5 since 7pm. I can't stop. It's a HUGE problem. Completely ridiculous.
I'm ashamed. And as I typed that ... I reached for my 6th *sigh*Fingers Crossed.This chick was walking across a major intersection today reading a book and smiling to herself. I'm sorry but NO book is good enough to risk my life. Bitch, keep your head up and take 30 seconds to walk your irresponsible ass across the street.

I was at the clinic today and got a call on my cell. The caller was "Unknown" and if I wasn't looking for a job right now (and awaiting call backs) that shit would've got ignored but something told me to take it which I did and I am glad I made that choice.

One of the first places I emailed my resume to wants to see me tomorrow morning at 9:30. When I originally found this job on the government website and reviewed the actual website of the company I said THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO WORK. I am overjoyed that I'll be meeting with this company tomorrow. It's an Ophthamologist office and I'll be the senior administrative assistant should I be hired. I'm thinking positive and putting my best foot forward. This could be it, folks. This is my dream job. I've been off and on the company site all evening researching and familiarizing myself with the company's policies. I'm taking this serious. This is a job I WANT - not a job I have to take.

I went to my mom's today after work for dinner. She's doing better but I still sense a lot of sadness with her. Obviously, it's going to take time. She said to me today that she misses him so much and there is still a deep void in her life. I wish there was something I could do to make her pain go away. All I can do is surround her with mine and Joelle's love and always be there to keep her busy and her mind off everything. It's easier said than done, though, because I'm trying to get by myself *sigh*

On a (slightly) happier, perkier note I have a problem. A SWEET TOOTH ALL DAMN DAY kind of problem. I had a damn chocolate danish and coffee for breakfast. A spicy chicken wrap from Wendy's for lunch (yes, I know its not sweet but its still junk food =/) and a friggin cinnamon bun with a shit load of icing and a cafe mocha on my way home. FML. OH! And I stopped into No Frills and saw Duncan Hines' cake mixes and icing on sale ... both for $0.99. Unlike a normal person I didn't just buy one of each ... I bought 2 of each and literally saw and smelled the cupcakes in my head. WTF is wrong with me? lol

Well, I'm gonna close off and finish taking notes on this company and get a goodnite's rest.

Peace & Love.I Could Use Somebody Like You

I'm Burning UpI woke up this morning feeling absolutely fine. Walked into the clinic around 9:45am and there was already about 8 people waiting for the D.O.D. We open at 10 *insert "good lawd thats a lotta ppl" face here* We were so busy all day. And it seemed like everyone was there with H1N1 symptoms. Kids, adults, seniors - shit was crazy. I think maybe 3 people came in. 2 with back pain and one for a pregnancy test. I was getting mad paranoid. Working within the health care system you OBVIOUSLY expect these kinds of things but when it's all you see for like 7 hours straight you're bound to get paro. Imagine my surprise when around 3pm I start feeling a little dizzy and nauseous and HOT. Like my head just started to BURN and I was a little sweaty, too. I didn't say anything because I at first just thought it was a passing moment but when it was getting worse rather than better after about an hour I said I was going to go home.

By the time I picked up Joelle I felt faint and weak. I was so so so tired. The minute I stepped in the house, though, my fever subsided and all was well in the world. So strange. Even now, as I type this blog up, I feel SLIGHTLY warm and nauseous but nothing I can't handle. My mom is all worried - lol ... I promised her if I felt the same or worse tomorrow morning I would go to the doctor.

My boy told me he's tired of travelling. His album released last week and he can't even take time off. I told him to take it easy and he asked if I would be his Lil Kim and get up on stage and rap his songs for him. I laughed and said my flow is shit not to mention my voice (rapping or singing) would kill cats dead. He proceeded to tell me that because I have tits no one would care and he would love picking me out an outfit. I was almost too scared to ask but I did. It's like he had this shit on standby because seconds later this pops up:

Shit is hot. I can't even lie BUT I clearly don't have the body to wear something like this. If I did though, I'd fully walk down the street in it to check my mail. No joke. Pram pram pram!

RANDOM SHEEEYIT

I've really got to get my shit together and fix up my sleeping patterns. I think I'm gonna work on that this weekend.

<=== I'm craving this. Seriously. It's like a small little tub of happiness. It tastes like sex and feels like an orgasm in my mouth. Yes, that's right. I said it.

Luda says: "I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees." I'm inclined to agree.
