"If man, as the existentialist conceives him, is indefinable, it is because at first he is nothing. Only afterward will he be something, and he himself will have made what he will be."


I'm thinking.......

Wait a bloody second, this is a song about food?!??!?!



Mmm, Fried chicken....
Fly vixen! Give me heart Disease,
But need you in my kitchen.
You a bird, but you ain't a key,
Got wings but you can't fly away from me.
Driving in your bucket seats, all the way from Kentucky,
To fuck with me.
Look what you done to me, was number one to me!
After you shower, you and your gold medal flour,
Then you rub on hot oil for 'bout a half an hour.
You in your hot tub, I'm looking at you salivating,
Dry you off, I got your paper towel waiting .
Lay you down cause you're red hot.
Louisiana style you make my head rock
Then I flock to the bed then, "Plop",
When we done, I need rest.
Don't know a part of you that I love best;
Your legs or your breast.
Misses Fried Chicken, you gon' be a nigga death.
Created by southern black women
To serve master's guest.
You gon' be a nigga death.
Misses Fried Chicken
You was my addiction, Dripping with cholest'
Like Greeks with his felafel, Or Italians with his to-mato pasta,
Or roti is to a Rasta.
Trapping me, you and your friend mac and cheese,
Candy yams, collard greens.....
But you knocking me to my knees.
It's killing me when I'm this high,
Nothing I need more than a fish fry.

Shit, It taste good, I can't lie.
It's like you're walking out a tanning saloon,
When I pull you out the oven, from baking I got you on my mind.
Rubbing that sun tan lotion all up over your body,
So amazing, how you sparkle when I glaze you swine.
Hey, my pretty hamhock, it's so feminine
The way you submitting, And how you gave me power.
To massaging me to shower you with lemon water,
Marinate you with season, you dipping. You in chowder
Baby, It's like you at the spa;
The way you gently lay in the pan,
While you enjoying you butter milk treatment.
I sit and watch the grease sizzle bubbling
On your skin.
Despite the funny fragrance, Still I lick my finger frequent.
In any event, I'm reflecting on all the signs saying that I got,
I shouldn't fuck with you.
But the way you taste made it hard to resist when I put my mouth on you,
But that's another issue.
Butterflies up in my stomach when I laid eye on you;
Was it infection manifesting?
Confused over the feeling, impatiently eating you
Trichina worm worm chewing on the walls of my intestine.
I'ma eat you until there's nothing left.
Til my very last breath, You gon be a nigga death.
Despite appearin’ the best and specialize in cooking swine as a chef.
You gon be a nigga death.
Who cares if the swine is mixed with rat, cat, and dog combined?
Yes, I eat the shit to death

Ain't that some shit?
I'ma eat some shit
Until what I'm eating KILLS ME!

And I choose to do that
Why?
Cause that's just what niggas do

Her lips said "no" but her eyes said "read my lips."

RANDOMMMMMMMMMMM
•There is an eloquence in true enthusiasm that is not to be doubted.

•People are particularly stupid. I can't talk to any more of them.

•I'd drive a stake through your heart, but I don't think anything could kill you.

•Never Explain-->your Enemies do not care and your Friends will not believe you anyway.

•If you behave in a manner pleasing to most, then you are probably doing something wrong. The masses have never been arbiters of the sublime, and they often fail to recognize the truly great individual.

•Reality is ruining my life!

I'm not loving you the way I wanted to

No more wasting time, we cant wait for life
we're just racing time, where's the finish line?
I been down this road, too many times before
I'm not lovin you, the way I wanted to...

To: Me, From: You


It starts with one thing, I don't know why. It doesn't even matter how hard you try. Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme to explain in due time. All I know, time is a valuable thing, watch it fly by as the pendulum swings. Watch it count down to the end of the day, the clock ticks life away. It's so unreal, didn't look out below. Watch the time go right out the window. Trying to hold on, but didn't even know. Wasted it all just to watch you go. I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart. What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard, and got so far, but in the end, it doesn't even matter. I had to fall, to lose it all. But in the end, it doesn't even matter. One thing, I don't know why, t doesn’t even matter how hard you try, keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme, to explain in due time. I tried so hard. In spite of the way you were mocking me, acting like I was part of your property. Remembering all the times you fought with me, I'm surprised it got so far. Things aren't the way they were before. You wouldn't even recognize me anymore. Not that you knew me back then, but it all comes back to me in the end. You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart. What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I put my trust in you, pushed as far as I can go. And for all this there's only one thing you should know.

"You always miss a best friend"

Hmmm, what can I say about the hills. It's getting boring. Same old drama, dramam, drama, but I could care less. Mostly, Heidi needs to learn that Spencer is the reason why her life sucks. Lauren needs to realise that you don't make any relationship work, it either does or doesn't. I hate that fact that people have to "work" on their rel'p w/ their friends. You became friends for a reason. While it may seem nice to have the same friends you might have had in elementary school, hell, even in high school, they must be aware that people change. Environments change, lifestyles change. If you drift apart w/ a friend, it doesn't mean that you have to be sworn enemies w/ them, but you can change the title to "acquaintance" from "BFF".
Lauren's too needy.

p.s that pic up there is old. You can tell b/c Heidid hasn't had any work done in it, lol.

Part deux of my addiction


Last week Quentin, a.k.a Q, got shot and was killed in a robbery gone bad. This week, it was his funeral. Apprently, the creator of the show ( I think his name is Mark or something) decides to kill off people on the show speratically, to "evolve" the characters. Whatever, i think he's insane, but rich. But whatever, so Q is dead. Everyone's sad. Nobody knows how to deal w/ it.
Here are my qualms;
1) Hellooo, does nobody notice that Brooke is all bruised up and some of those buises are shaped like hands prints?!??!? That cannot have happened if she fell down the friggin' stairs people!!! A
2) Speaking of Brooke, why doesn't she tell anyone she was attacked?? Honestly, that I don't get. Is she trying to protect someone. And based on last night's show I think that she was raped too.
3) Peyton is a fool. I admit I was pulling for her and Lucas to get together, but now she's such a bitch to Brooke. I feel for Brooke. I was watching the old episodes ( b/c I haven't seen episodes 2-4) and I feel like she gets the bum deal all the time. She needs a happy ending. She reminds me of Jenn on Dawson's Creek. My new fave character.
4) Haley and Nathan make me gag in my mouth.
5) Jamie is not that cute........
6)Nanny Crazy is crazy. It's sad she lost her son but
a) why is he buried in the backyard?!?!?!
b) get over it. Everyone loses someone they love every day.
The part that actually made me tear up last night, was true, when Jamie put the cape on the casket, but more so, how it affected Brooke. I feel for her, and when she started to cry, it made me sad.


You know you love me, XOXOXO, Lisa

Ok, so Monday night, is my teen angsty prime time night. I have a routine of Gossip Girl first, then One Tree Hill and finally, The Hills.
Mind you, I only jumped on the bandwagon recently, and I don't really know what happened last season, (if you do, please fill me in), but I gotta say, it's quite addictive. I missed out the first 45 mins from the show last night, but when I came back, it appeared that there was a black out or something and some reveleations were coming to light.
Apparently, it looks like Serena and Dan broke up. I kinda like them together, but they fight alot. Blair and Chuck were caught kissing by the Lord that Blair is trying to marry. He forgave her, it seemed. Chuck definately has something for Blair though. Jenny is an intern for Blair's mother....now that's awkward. And Chase Crawford (don't know his name on the show yet), has to stay w/ the Lord's stepmother, b/c she lent him money, or else she'll go to the F.B.I about his father wherabouts.

Now that is drama.

Now, add up the number of x's and multiply by 2 to get the weight that you should be.
I should be 102......

I think there's been a miscommunication......

So there's this guy right and he's nice and all, but........yeah. I've known him for sometime but now he's getting kind of needy (which guy doesn't). So he calls me one day and I didn't get it and this is the message he left for me; he says "I'm in your part of town, I call your phone and you're no where to be found. You do this every time, you be M.I.A. every single time. The part that kills me, you'd rather chill with your friends instead of me, huh? But I ain't gon' be no clown, I guess I call you next time I'm in your town."
When I heard this, I called him back and left a message for him, because even though he didn't pick up my call, I didn't trip out on him.....or at least I thought I wouldn't...... And I said to him " So what, I was out with my friends, i'm a grown woman, it's the weekend!!! Oh, so what if I don't answer my phone, what if I'm not alone, i'm with him. What's it to you? I need to get out, you are killing me, and I just wanna get out, you are killing me. Whatcha wanna do? I cannot escape, no matter what I do, can't get away from you. Oh, call me everyday and that there ain't never cool, getting on my nerves. I think it's time you knew; only gave you my number cause, drinks made you cuter, plus you were looking sad and lonely. Oh but that's all it was, just put you in the game and here you go complainin' what's up with you? I need to get out. You are killing me."
So maybe I over reacted, but it was annoying how he used to call all the time and complain and shit. I didn't know it was so mean, until I said it, to be honest. But he didn't take it that way, instead he called back and left this message (because now I was avoiding him) "Like whoa lil mama, it's the second time I'm callin' your number. I ain't chasin', I ain't even no runner. Don't you know I push the Hummer in the summer, huh? How you hard to be reached? I can put you where you hard to be reached, white sand on the balls of your feet. You can scream, ain't no body gon' be sleep, this your own private beach, ha, hand when it comes to sex, just a little bit of love and little bit of that, maybe push it back where your ribs is at. Share a bowl of crunch berries, how real is that? haha I'm just jokin' of course. I'm trying to put your sex game back on course. If you feelin' dry, like you don't get moist. If you ever get a minute holla at yo' boy."
We're going out on Saturday............

happy endings only happen in fiction


my not so secret crush.....


yum yum

Reason # 457898754153147 why I love my baby......

Last night she had to tell me a secret and she began to tell it to me, then changed it and as she was whispering in my ear, she took her finger to make a line across my ear to scratch out what she just said....

♥♥♥ her sooooo much

Oh Canada......I suck

I got 27.


You try....
http://www.cbc.ca/testthenation/

my not so secret crush......

yummmmmmyyyyyyy

too bad you can't choose your family like you can choose your friends........

So, I don't like you. I don't like to spend time with you. And if we weren't related by blood, I would probably call you the names I call you behind your back to your face (not in fear of your reaction necessarily, more on the reprecussions my parents will face. I love them to much to be outed for your shit).


If you're wondering who I'm talking about (and you happen to be related to me), think about if I make attemps to talk to you, do I respond to phone calls, emails, even acknowledging you when I see you. If the answer to any OR even all is "No", it applies to you. It was interesting knowing you, now leave me the fuck alone.

so, i'm not really as stalker-ish and psycho as i might seem re: the entry about MY postman.......

The value of a drink........

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the wine I drink I feel shame. Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the vineyards and all of their hopes and dreams .. If I didn't drink this wine, they might be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself, "It is better that I drink this wine and let their dreams come true than be selfish and worry about my liver. ~ Jack Handy
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may leave you wondering what the hell happened to your bra and panties.
I feel sorry for people who don't drink. When they wake up in the morning, that's as good as they're going to feel all day. ~Frank Sinatra
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may create the illusion that you are tougher, smarter, faster and better looking than most people
"When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading." ~ Henny Youngman
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may lead you to think people are laughing WITH you.
24 hours in a day, 24 beers in a case. Coincidence? I think not. ~ Stephen Wright
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to think you can sing.
When we drink, we get drunk. When we get drunk, we fall asleep. When we fall asleep, we commit no sin. When we commit no sin, we go to heaven. So, let's all get drunk and go to heaven! ~ Brian O'Rourke
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause pregnancy.
Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. ~ Benjamin Franklin
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol is a major factor in dancing like a retard.
Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza. ~ Dave Barry WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may cause you to tell your friends over and over again that you love them.
To some it's a six-pack, to me it's a Support Group. Salvation in a can! ~Dave Howell
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you can logically converse with members of the opposite sex without spitting.
And saving the best for last, as explained by Cliff Clavin, of Cheers:
One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here's how it went: "Well ya see, Norm, it's like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first . This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That's why you always feel smarter after a few beers."
WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may make you think you are whispering when you are not

The wheels on the bus go round and round...



Just thought I would share some pertinent info for anyone who's child is taking the school bus for the first time:

Ontario's school population includes over two million students. Of those, over 800,000 use school buses every day. This includes children who are bused from rural areas and children who participate in special programs, such as French immersion, as well as those who use school buses for field trips.
Research conducted by Transport Canada shows that school bus travel is one of the safest methods of transportation - and is 16 times safer than travelling in the family car, based on the number of passengers and kilometres travelled. Although school buses have an excellent safety record, mishaps can happen, and injuries can result. These can include both children riding on the bus and children who suffer injuries as a result of being hit by their own school bus or by other vehicles.

Rules for getting on the bus safely:

  • Be at the bus stop on time.
  • Never run to or from the bus.
  • Wait at the designated stop in a safe place well back from the side of the road.
  • Remember the danger zone around the bus. The danger zone is anywhere close enough to the bus to touch it. The bus driver cannot see you when you are in the danger zone.
  • If you cross the street to get on the bus: when the bus comes, wait until it has come to a complete stop. The bus driver will make sure all the traffic stops. The stop arm will be out and the red lights will be flashing.
  • Watch the driver. When the driver knows it is safe, he or she will signal you to cross, but watch for traffic yourself.
  • Walk, don't run.
  • Hold the hand rail as you get on the bus. Don't push or shove.

Rules for Safe School Bus Riding:

  • Take your seat promptly and sit properly, facing forward at all times.
  • Hold bags and parcels in your lap.
  • Do not stick your feet into the aisle: someone might trip.
  • Keep your head and arms-everything-inside the bus.
  • Don't throw anything out the windows or around in the bus.
  • Talk quietly. The driver must concentrate to drive the bus safely.
  • Save snacks for snack time at school or till you get home. They may spill or you may choke if the bus goes over a big bump.
  • No fighting, shouting or playing in or around the bus.
  • Always follow the bus driver's instructions.

Rules for leaving the bus safely:

  • When you leave the bus, hold the handrail and take two large steps away from the bus.
  • To cross the street in front of the bus, walk ahead at least ten giant steps (three metres). Cross only when the driver gives a signal. Cross the street in single file.
  • If you drop something near the bus, don't pick it up. Tell the driver or other adult.
  • If everyone is getting off the bus, the people at the front leave first. Do not push.

If you don't stop for a school bus, you can be fined $400 to $2000 and get six demerit points for a first offence. If you break the rule a second time, the penalty is a fine of $1000 to $4000 and six demerit points. You could also go to jail for up to six months.

School buses are designed to protect passengers through "compartmentalization". This means that school buses have:

  • seats with high backs
  • the seats positioned close together to form compartments
  • seats filled with energy-absorbing material
  • strong seat anchorages

Parents also need to be aware of additional information about seat belts:

  • to be effective, seat belts must be worn correctly (snug and low on the hips) for full protection. Seat belts which are not correctly worn may cause injuries.
  • because school vehicles carry passengers from the very young to high school students, seat belt fit must be readjusted and use monitored to ensure safety.
  • because of increased use, seat belts on school buses are subject to more wear and tear, and their condition must be monitored.
  • studies using dummies have shown that adding seat belts to the current school bus seating arrangement can actually increase the chance of head and neck injuries in restrained passengers.

Say hello to my little friend



So this little, but scary, creature has suddenly become an inhabitant in our household as of late. How I found out, was watching t.v in the basement on tuesday night and I saw something mobe out of the corner of my eye. Quickly moved my attention to the wall and noticed this creature scurrying around. OMG!!! Needless to say, I was a little bit petrified. First thing I looked for was something to smush it with. Found my daughter's slipper. Didn't look like it would do the job, to be honest. Plus, I didn't want to have to think about touching it, even w/ a slipper. Plus those legs were pretty long, I had this notion in my head that if I did hit it, that some of those lose appendages will come out from under the slipper and sting me anyway. So, I got the Raid from upstairs. Now, I had issues with this too, as I thought that as soon as I sprayed it, this creature would also run away and I wouldn't be able to get it and it would somehow become immune or it would jump on me. I did a test spray before going back downstairs. So I went downstairs and sprayed it good. Even when it fell off the ceiling, I stilled sparyed it. I'm sure I used up more than half the can. NTS: must buy my mom a can of Raid.

So I did some research and was able to find out some info regarding this strange creature that I have not seen before. I googled basement bugs and some images popped up of my mysterious creature and this is how I found out that it has a name: House Centipede.

Here are some facts: Basically, they are good for house! Who would've guessed?!?! They feed off household pests like spiders, ants, termites and silverfish. So if you can deal with seeing these creature about, they actually help out. The house centipede is 25–50 mm (one to two inches) long and has an average of 15 pairs of very long, delicate legs and a rigid body, which enables it to run with surprising speed – up to 406 mm (16 inches) per second. Also, even though they are venomous, most House Centipedes bites cannot penetrate human skin. Those that can give an effect no worse than a minor bee sting. The bite cannot even affect regular household pets. Oh, and they love to breed!! Great.....
