Cottage Life

2011-08-29T08:48:00.007-04:00

We went to the cottage about a week ago. It was fun. The kids had a blast!! They tend to make the most out of most situations. Love them for that.

The only crappy thing I had to say about the experience, is the amount of spiders that were there. But I hate nature. Everyone who knows me, know this.

But here are some pics for your viewing pleasure:

This is the view from the kitchen window of the deck. All you can really see are the trees. If you look close enough, you might even be able to see some spiders. Not even kidding. They're there.

This is a pic of the bbq after John cleaned it up. I can't post a pic of the before because that pic would make you gag. No, really, it would.

This pic is pretty self explanatory. It's yum yums.

This is a pic of the stairs beside the pool house going towards to water/deck. If you look closely, you can even see spiders in this pic. Honestly, my skin crawls looking at this specific pic.

And finally, this is a pic of the kiddies and Meli frolicking in the water. This was pretty much a constant for them. They were always there.

Pics courtesy of John's phone. Haven't uploaded the pics from the camera yet.

My health plan

2011-06-13T09:26:00.003-04:00

This year (after a haitus last year) I will be playing mas again this year at Caribana (or whatever it's called).

This is my costume (the teal coloured one):

So in dire hopes of fitting into it (I really wish you could try on the costume before purchasing it) I will be doing a strict health regiment. Well, strict for me. Probably pretty lax for everyone who's even remotely healthy.

I will attempt to keep a journal or log of some sorts to help out with this. Effective today.

*Wish me luck*

Bucket List

2011-03-03T10:41:00.004-05:00

So I've come out of retirement. Just for a bit. Not sure how long this is going to last, but I had to share the two places I want to add to my bucket list. Since I don't have anything on it yet, I will list these as #1 & #2, however, that is not necessarily the order of importance in which they stand in my life.

#1)

Yes, that is a waterslide, and yes that is a pool filled with sharks!
The Leap of Faith @ Atlantis: The Palm in Dubai
27.5m tall and 61m long, from the top of the Ziggurat the Leap of Faith catapults riders into a transparent tunnel and through a shark-filled lagoon, where guitar sharks, bow mouth sharks, white tip, black tip and grey reef sharks all reside.

#2) AquaDuck on Disney Cruise Lines
AquaDuck is a thrilling "water coaster," whose entrance is on Deck 12, Aft aboard the Disney Dream. In a cruise industry first, Guests are propelled at high speeds from Deck 12, Aft through an acrylic tube on a breathtaking journey up, down, around and off the side of the ship, through the Forward Funnel and—following a mammoth drop—into a lazy river.
Developed by Disney Imagineers, this elevated water coaster—the first of its kind at sea—travels 765 feet and features exciting twists, turns and plunges. It was designed for adults and children at least 42" or taller. Single riders must be at least 54" or taller. Children under 7 may ride with someone 14 years of age or older, provided the child is at least 42" tall.
AquaDuck affords breathtaking views of the ocean and ship below—that is, if you're brave enough to keep your eyes open during this exciting ride! It also offers a bird's-eye view of the exciting new pools available to family, kids and adults on the Disney Dream.

ok, tata for now.

Day 01 – Introduce yourself

2010-11-23T20:09:00.005-05:00

At this point if you don't know my name, consider yourself an idiot, because all you have to do is look at the address bar.......idiot.
In case you're still dense, it's Lisa.
I'm a twenty something single mother to my eight year old daughter. She is my life. I'm a daughter to my parents, and sister to Meli. Sister-in-law to an ass bird, John. Aunty to Marky and Mason.
My family means the world to me, don't mess with them. My friends are my friends for a reason and I only roll with those who I know are going to be there for me, even when i'm a bitch (which is quite often). They can expect nothing but the same in return.
I'm bitter and angry, and some might even call me jaded. But I think those labels come in handy when need be. I think I am also loyal and honest and a realist.

But we still have 29 more days left of reading, so don't judge this book by my introduction only.

iPhone vs. BB

2010-09-30T15:51:00.003-04:00

Ok, so Meli got a new BB the other day, not the torch but the curve, and I started playing with it. I got to say, it was quite fun. I especially liked that whole bb messenger option. Before I thought it was just like texting, and I was like, what's so great about that, but alas, I think that is great! Especially the smiley's.
The keys are alittle smaller than I like and it was difficult to type, but so was the iPhone at the beginning.
On the other hand, the iPhone is a computer, ipod and phone combined into one! Honestly it gets no better than that for functionality. The camera could be better though.
I love the apps because Babygirl can play with it to kill some time too. It has youtube, which again, kills time for Babygirl.
Plus, I don't really text that much anyways. But I think if I had a bb, Iwould ping everybody I know, just because I could, haha.
I love that option.
Maybe I will try to ping on text messages and see if it's the same affect, haha.

Anyways, I guess I will just stick to my iPhone for now.....holding out for the iPhone 4 once I get some extra flow and it becomes available. But I definitely will be pinging everyone with Meli's phone, so look out now.

You know what sucks??

Word Vomit

I like Chris Brown more than Rihanna. I get it, he abused her and I think he should get some fingernails pulled out for that, but he is dealing with his reprimand. I also think Rihanna tries to hard. I just don't like her; her fashion sense, her artistic expression, her choices. Her songs since the attach haven't really been that good (IMO). The only songs that she sings that get alot of radio play are songs that she sings the hook on. She's kind of like the Neptunes (but I ♥ them). Onthe other hand, I am all about Chris Brown's songs post Rihanna beating.As a person, again I only know what I am exposed to through the media and since he is more or less shamed off the face of the Earth, I am not made aware of his doings. But i like the way he dresses more than the way Rihanna dresses and that is all I need to base my opinion on, thankyouverymuch.
I would like to know what goes through a dead-beat-dads (shall be refered to as DBD from this point on) head. I would just like to shadow them for a couple months (and get paid too, of course) and see how they fuction and what their mentality is. I really hate generalising and saying that all DBD are that way because they choose to be so and by no means of their own can't help it and that sometimes it's just society's way of stereotyping them. I mean, I know some single dads who take an active roll in their kids life. I want to know what makes those "bad apples" such bad apples. At which point do they decide that 'hey, maybe I didn't want this kid' and 'hey, maybe this isn't even my kid' and 'a mother can raise a child by herself, because maybe that kid doesn't even need another roll model in their life'. Because as we all know, the world is not filled with enough kids that know both their parents. I don't understand this natural responsibilty that comes over someone when they have a child as being absent. And again, i'm not necessarily blaming the DBD, because as a mother (the only view I know) it has always been to put my daughter first, and her needs and wants are my priority and responsibilty. She is me and everything (everything!) I do serves some purpose to her life. I want to find out where and what makes that disconnect happen to the DBD.
I think I might have been (in some subconscious, change the world type of way) responsible for what is happening. When someone asked what's new or what's going on in my life, I would always say 'nothing' or 'same old, same old'. I didn't mean it in a negative way and I wasn't complaining. I like consistency, I like regularity. I am not ooposed to change but I don't necessarily need it all the time. And then this happens. The worst possible change. I don't want it. I want it to go back to where my life was a constant. More so, I want my family to be celebrating the impending birth of another fat kid, instead of doubts and worries and unsettling prospects of what may, can and hasn't come/happened.

And that rat could be that cool cat, that's whispering "she's trying to play you for a fool, Black"

So yea, there's been things happening. And I think that it's been a real eye opener. It's almost enough to bring me out of my little safe place. It's brought change and unknown and everything that worries me.
But it's also brought realisation and clarity on alot of things that I didn't think to question before.
I found out that my immediate family (think Mommy, Daddy, Baby, Meli, John and their offspring) matter to me the most.
I found out that people I expect to be there, aren't. And I can't be upset at that. Why should they be there? It's just putting way too much faith in people. I hate having to rely on people for anything. I hate that feeling of not being in control of not handling something, because something else was missing.
I also found out, that some people are there for you through thick and thin. That the ones who are the furthest away make you feel like they are right here, when the people right here are not.
And finally, I found out, that damn, the poeple I had no faith in, can actually make an effort and might actually help the situation.
Human nature can surprise you when you least expect or want it. That can be applied to positive and negative ways.
I really hope that we have more positive instances.

With the people that I won't forget

I teef''d it, b/c I thought it was funny.

Sometime this year, we taxpayers will receive an ' HST Compensation'' payment.
This is indeed a very exciting program, and I'll explain it by using a Q & A format:
Q. What is an 'HST Compensation' payment ?
A. It is money that the provincial government will send to taxpayers.
Q. Where will the government get this money ?
A. From taxpayers.
Q. So the government is giving me back my own money ?
A. Only a smidgen of it.
Q. What is the purpose of this payment ?
A. The plan is for you to use the money to purchase a high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.
Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.

Below is some helpful advice on how to best help the economy by spending your compensation cheque wisely:
* If you spend the stimulus money at Wal-Mart, the money will go to China or Sri Lanka ...
* If you spend it on gasoline, your money will go to the Arabs.
* If you purchase a computer, it will go to India , Taiwan or China .
* If you purchase fruit and vegetables, it will go to Mexico , Honduras and Guatemala ..
* If you buy an efficient car, it will go to Japan or Korea .
* If you purchase useless stuff, it will go to Taiwan .
* If you pay your credit cards off, or buy stock, it will go
to management bonuses and they will hide it offshore.

Instead, keep the money in Canada by:
1) Spending it at yard sales, or
2) Going to hockey games, or
3) Spending it on a hooker, or
4) Beer or
5) Tattoos.
(These are the only Canadian businesses still operating in Canada . )

Conclusion:
Go to a hockey game with a tattooed hooker you met at a yard
sale and drink beer all day !
No need to thank me, I'm just glad I could be of help.

I wish you best of luck
And now im bout to throw them deuces up

No more tryin to make it work
You made me wanna say bye bye, say bye bye, say bye bye to her

Uh, Use to be valentines

♪ The camera’s always rolling ♫♪

A few things:

1. The BP incident is crap. It’s pathetic to think that there were no measures in place to ensure something like this would never happen. Honestly, they need to go out of business or something because they are obviously not fit to run something as critical and dangerous as oil drilling. I mean, are there not protocols or anything in place to avoid situations like this? Why aren’t they gov’t regulated? Overlooking the fact that 11 of their own workers were killed (AND NEVER FOUND!!!) we now have a global crisis on our hand. And I say we, because even though I have never even heard of them before in my life, my future, and my kid’s future and maybe even my kid’s kids futures are probably going to me messed up because of this. Plus, I love seafood! The prices are now going to sky rocket, if there are even any species still left to eat!
2. Why is there always some sort of drama going on? I like the simple life, I do. I like having a carefree life (which is difficult with adulthood, I understand, but as close to it as I can get is great). I like having clear skin (well as clear as I can get). I like not having to care and worry about what people think or expect from me. I WANT TO BE ME. I think that my nonchalant attitude stems from when I got pregnant. My parents were so busy worried about what everyone thought, they were stressed beyond belief. My Mom actually told me that if my Dad were to get into an accident (he drives for his profession) it would be my fault because I put all this extra stress on him. I’m sure it had something to do with the fact that there youngest daughter, who hadn’t finished school yet, was now pregnant by a boy (yes, a boy) who didn’t have a job and hadn’t finished school. But I think the whole out of wedlock thing was a big contributor as well……..There were some family members that stopped talking to us, some who refused to let their kids talk to me and even some who convinced my mother that I should have an abortion. Since then, I have a total disregard of anyone opinions or ideas unless I asked for it. And even then, sometimes it was just to humour me; I could really care less about what they had to say. I just smile and nod.
I digress though. My parents are now dealing with some really close family friends (they went as far as to say the wife was close to my Mom like a daughter, and the husband was as close to my Dad as a brother) who have now stopped talking to my parents. It unfortunate, because they were that close. My Dad doesn’t know the whole extent of the situation, hell; I don’t even know the whole extent of the situation. All I know is that they have stopped inviting us out with them and are treating us like 2nd class friends. Personally, the only part that really bothers me (other than my parents being upset over it) is that Babygirl was really good friends with their son and now she probably won’t be able to play with him anymore.
3. Does anyone know how in tarnation to make a cardboard car????? Babygirl has a project where she needs to construct a car that rolls on wheels. Seems easy enough right?? Well, you’re wrong!!! We’ve tried with paper towel rolls and Kleenex boxes and even lids from drinks. She is on the verge of getting a C- if she can’t get this thing to roll. I’ve tried googling the answer and I don’t know how they came up with these ideas, but we’ve tried them and they don’t roll. Do I look like an engineer?? I’m a CSR for crying out loud, I can explain how to use excel. We have one more day to figure it out. Hoo boy, I hope we get it right!
4. Neekee and I have decided to never, ever go to a specific club ever again. Ever.

That is all.

I guess being right, takes too long

I know I’m a little late on the whole Mother’s Day Thing. So Happy Mothers Day to those who are doing a kick ass job, because, in short, you rock!!
However, with that being said, I don’t think that Mother’s Day should be a recognised day, if you will. I think it’s redundant to think you should be praised for doing something that you should be doing regardless. Is there a “Happy Breathing Day” at hallmark? How about a “Congratulations, you ate!!” card. Nope. I think when you take on the responsibility to be a parent that should be what you are all about. You should not be praised for doing something that you agreed to do anyways. You do not need an incentive to be a better parent. Your child progressing and growing is reward enough.
Yes, it’s true that without Mother’s that none of us would be possible and they helped mould us be what we are, but honestly a hug and kiss and “I love you” and “I appreciate you” every now and then goes a long way. Baby Girl actually said that she would not get me anymore presents and instead her gift everyday to me would be her love. It kind of put things in perspective for me; it’s actually all I need from her.
I actually think that Mother’s Day and Father’s Day should act as a slap in the face to the absentee parents. It’s kind of like; see you’re not here, so you don’t get the reward. It must suck to be you because, yes, my nights have been littered with sleepless, feverish nights and I have had bodily fluids spew from every possible hole in the human membrane come at me one way or another, and I have endured pain (physical, mental, and emotional) and sorrow at the hands at the one whom I love the most, but I would not change it or have it any other way. Because those evenings that I cannot go out and ‘hang out with my friends’, instead, I stay home and do homework, watch movies and play board games. Because I haven’t bought clothes for myself in close to 8 years, but instead my daughter rocks sparkles and gems and tiaras and pink and purple and flowery everything. Because I don’t get to eat out and have sushi or steak nearly anywhere as much as I would like too and instead eat everything with ketchup and alphabaghettios and go to McDonalds for the “girl toy”.
Yup, it must suck to be you.

So Happy Mother’s Day today, tomorrow and everyday after for those Mothers that make the world a better place to be in.

My piece bangs glass tables.

Word Vomit:

I know, I know, I’ve been slacking. I get these topics that I should write about, but once I actually sit down and stop to write them, they just fly out of my head. I really don’t remember what I was going to write about. I’m going to try and finish this one, this time.
I deleted my last entry regarding a certain friend I have. She’s on my twitter and since there’s a link from my twitter to my blog, I’m sure if she were to read the entry, she would definitely know that I was talking about her. I think she would be pissed knowing that. I do value our friendship and don’t want to put her on the spot like that. Now, if she didn’t read my blog, I would definitely keep that on, haha. Our friendship has been strained since and there is a lot if tension since the incident. I don’t know if we’ll go back to being the same actually……….
BabyGirl has kicked and chopped and jumped her way from a white belt, to a yellow stripe and has now graduated to a yellow stripe advance!!! Today is her graduating ceremony. I think she really enjoys Tae Kwon Do, and I’m happy that she has found something that she likes. Her dancing classes on Saturday have are now conflicting with her TKD schedule though. I don’t know what to do. She says she likes them both. And once summer vacation starts, I wanted to enrol her into a French program for the summer. But again, that conflicts with the TKD schedule. I could just send her Thursdays and Saturdays (if she chooses TDK over dancing) but the Saturday class, they don’t really focus on the patterns and do more races and warmups. I want her to work on her patterns.
I am scared to death of death. And not really my death. I actually think it would be welcomed, lol. Life is stressful. You can mess up your own, because you’re the only one who would probably be affected by it, but when you have people in your life that you care about, you have their well being and happiness to worry about, it becomes more difficult trying to find the balance between hard work and play. But to lose someone I care about, I can’t even fathom how I would handle it. When my uncle passed away, he and I weren’t even that close, and I don’t even remember the last time I saw him alive. I think it was when I took Baby to see them, right after she was born. I don’t even think she was 6 months yet, so it’s been almost 8 years that I last saw him alive. But his death still affected the crap out of me. He was younger than my parents!! I can’t imagine them not being here, but here we are, going to more funerals then weddings lately. I’m so afraid.
I like Sandra Bullock a lot. I think she is so strong and so brave and I applaud that she has done everything the Elin Woods couldn’t do. And you know that Elin is just in it for the money. She was a nanny before Tiger. She can’t leave him. Even if she does get some money, it won’t last her anywhere near far along enough.

All I want to do is please you

Please myself by living my life too……………

My review on the Element of Freedom Tour:

First of all, let me say that on the way there I was muchos excited to be getting street meat as I live in a suburb and they do have street meat, but it’s hella expensive and doesn’t quite cut it. Meli ended getting me a spicy Italian sausage (holla!) and I was going to get to indulge in more than one luxury tonight. Yay!! Turns out the sausage was bad!!! I feel like I’m going to gag right now actually just thinking about it. Boo!! Turned me off of street meat for I don’t know how long at this point.
I digress.
We then get inside and Meli makes a beeline for the cotton candy and popcorn. She is now ready to endure Melanie Fiona and Robin Thicke while waiting for Alicia Keys. Meli convinces me to get something to eat, b/c I usually eat supper when I get home from work, but today had to rush out of the house after taking a quick shower and changing up. Yes, I did put on make up too. So I got some Nachos and Cheese to get past Melanie Fiona. Do you know that extra cheese or salsa or jalapeno cost $1 each!! WTF!!! I asked the cashier why was it that expensive (b/c at the movies you can get them for free), she said it was b/c we had to pay for the little containers. Hi, for the retail value of those tickets, we could’ve bought 120 boxes of the containers!!
Anyways, I digress again. Do you see how easy it is for me to get distracted when there’s food involved? I ♥ food.
Opening Act was Melanie Fiona. I don’t really follow her, so I didn’t know the songs. Her first song had an intro of the “bang bang” song. I liked that song from Kill Bill. But everything else was kind of meh. She tried to get the crowd involved, but I guess no one was really into it. I felt kind of bad for her, b/c she was in her home town. Actually, the crowd didn’t get hyped up until Kardinal Offishall just came out to make an appearance. I think he got more of a round of applause than Melanie did for her whole set! Interesting fact, I found out Melanie Fiona was Guyanese and she was waving her Canadian Flag! Haha. I’ll post some pics of it later.
Second Act was Robin Thicke. I don’t even know where to start. Everything about Robin Thicke’s act was wonderful. He danced, he sang, he enticed the concert goers. He missed a couple of high notes that he got on the CD, but I guess live singing didn’t really work to well, and there are no do overs. He came out wearing sunglasses and I have things about people who wear sunglasses at night or indoors in which case the concert was both, unless medically required and I’m assuming they weren’t, because after the first song, they came off. Meli was expecting more of the crooning, but he was all over the stage. He tried to get the crowd involved too by clapping and putting their hands up, but not many people were that interested again, I guess. Mind you, I loooovovvveeee Robin Thicke, but even I didn’t even participate. He did however, have a red baby grand that he absolutely seduced (along with most of the females that populated the concert, so 99.8% of the crowd). I will post some more pics of that later too. Meli actually got a video of him dancing which was cute. Not sexy, but cute. I will try to post that later. I am and forever will be a Robin Thicke fan. Plus he sang “A milli”…..well, rapped it. We have that on video too.
The Main Act was Alicia Keys. She came out singing in a cage. That was kind of wicked. She tried to incorporate more dancers in this show than the last one. Come to think of it, I don't think she had any dancers in the last tour. I have to admit I was a little surprised. She's very talented, but I wouldn't necessarily think that dancing for her forte. If I wanted to see dancing, I would watch a music video though. I didn't really care for it. She sounded like she had a cold or sore throat. SHe kept drinking her water, it looked like her throat was getting dry alot. I still thought she sang exceptionally, she has so much talent especially when she sang any song with the piano and when she did "Sleeping with a Broken Heart", she did everything herself for that song. I really wish there was more emphasis on her and her music though. To me, she looked like she was trying to be Beyonce. And you already know I can't stand Beyonce. Please, oh, please just let her stay a positive role model for the simple fact that she has musical talent, she's female and she wears clothes!! She doesn't just gyrate around the stage. Please don't let her be trying to change her reputation.
But that's how I saw it.
On the way out, Meli got her foot run over by a woman carrying one of those really big trashcans. It was funny to watch her waddle and limp and the same time, lol. But when she got home, she told me that she was bleeding. Not so funny.

WHY WOMEN SHOULDN'T TAKE MEN SHOPPING

After I retired, my wife insisted that I accompany her on her trips to Target. Unfortunately, like most men, I found shopping boring and preferred to get in and get out. Equally unfortunate, my wife is like most women - she loves to browse.
Yesterday my dear wife received the following letter from the local Target.

Dear Madam,

Target appreciates your business and values you as a customer. However, over the past six months, your husband has caused quite a commotion in our store.

We cannot tolerate this behavior and have been forced to ban both of you from the store. Our complaints against your husband, are listed below and are documented by our video surveillance cameras.

1. June 15: Took 24 boxes of condoms and randomly put them in other people's carts when they weren't looking.

2. July 2: Set all the alarm clocks in Housewares to go off at 5-minute intervals.

3. July 7: He made a trail of tomato juice on the floor leading to the women's restroom.

4. July 19: Walked up to an employee and told her in an official voice, 'Code 3 in Housewares. Get on it right away'. This caused the employee to leave her assigned station and receive a reprimand from her Supervisor that in turn resulted with a union grievance, causing management to lose time and costing the company money.

5. August 4: Went to the Service Desk and tried to put a bag of M&Ms on layaway.

6. August 14: Moved a 'CAUTION - WET FLOOR' sign to a carpeted area.

7. August 15: Set up a tent in the camping department and told the children shoppers he'd invite them in if they would bring pillows and blankets from the bedding department to which twenty children obliged.

8. August 23: When a clerk asked if they could help him he began crying and screamed, 'Why can't you people just leave me alone?' EMTs were called.

9. September 4: Looked right into the security camera and used it as a mirror while he picked his nose.

10. September 10: While handling guns in the hunting department, he asked the clerk where the antidepressants were..

11. October 3: Darted around the store suspiciously while loudly humming the 'Mission Impossible' theme.

12. October 6: In the auto department, he practiced his 'Madonna look' by using different sizes of funnels.

13. October 18: Hid in a clothing rack and when people browsed through, yelled 'PICK ME! PICK ME!'

14. October 21: When an announcement came over the loud speaker, he assumed a fetal position and screamed 'OH NO! IT'S THOSE VOICES AGAIN!'

And last, but not least:

15. October 23: Went into a fitting room, shut the door, waited awhile, then yelled very loudly, 'Hey! There's no toilet paper in here.' One of the clerks passed out.

Everybody's cool, but

2010-03-03T16:19:00.000-05:00

Y’all. Just. ain’t. Me.

Word Vomit:
• Still at ends with BabyGirl’s teacher. Mo, you don’t know how envious I am of you right now. Especially with the historical reading that you guys are doing. I have BabyGirl doing some extra curricular learning too, but now I feel like a slave driver, b/c of all the extra work she’s doing. Ughhhh
• Weather’s turning out to be a-ok.
• Mo, email me at work. I don’t really respond to my personal email that much anymore, my phone is broken and I’m never online at home
• P.S My stinkin’ iphone is broken. Damn waste of space and time.
• Still as single as ever. But you know what I’ve noticed, between family and friends and extracurricular activities (including sleeping and eating), I really don’t have any extra time to maintain a relationship.
• Party planning is turning out to be great. I want to do this stuff full time!!
• Trying to plan out summer vacation this year, the only thing I’m sure of it the amount of time, I DON’T have for vacation.
• BabyGirl is a ninja Princess
• Daddy’s gone a trip and not coming back until next week. As long as he brings back goodies, I’m content!
• There are you happy now John?!?!!?!?

Dear Mrs. Needs A Kick Arcoss The Head

2010-02-09T11:13:00.002-05:00

A letter written for my daughters teacher:

Mrs. P,

There are some issues that I would like to address seeing as my schedule makes it “impossible” to meet.

We first met on Dec. 3/09 to address your concerns with Babygirl's behaviour. At that point, I advised that I was working on it at home as well and asked what you would suggest I do to improve it. The answers you gave me were things I was already doing. Again, at that time I re-iterated I would work on her focus and attention at home. When I met with Mr. E the same night, the same was not reflected from him until I brought it up (following our meeting). He mentioned that she does get out of her desk, but it was not something he was overly worried about.

The next time you brought Babygirl's behaviour to my attention was when she was caught reading the book about Tornados during your introduction to the Science lesson on Jan.25/10. From the time of our first meeting and the note, it was approximately 2 months in between, however, Babygirl was off for 2 weeks for Christmas break. I am not making excuses on behalf of my daughter, I am simply stating that the lapse in her schedule might account for her resuming her old actions. At that point, I understand that she was not paying attention to class, but I don’t believe that what she was doing was doing was that negative. The issue that I had at that point was the fact that you calledBabygirl “incorrigible”. I do not understand how a teacher with many years of teaching can think that a child reading a book on Tornadoes instead of paying attention is broken past the point of “fixing” (I have put fixing in quotation marks, b/c I do not believe that what she was doing was necessarily wrong). To go on and tell me that she needs to “mature” (albeit you did cross it out) is again bewildering to me. Was she crying in class? Did she have bathroom accidents?? Did she bring in her security blanket and did not release it when to told her too? How would you suggest a 7 year old mature and do you honestly believe that every child in your class exhibit those activities except for Babygirl?

Then you went on to mention that this issue was brought to the attention of the class. Why was this brought up in front of the whole class? Is one of the ways you reprimand to ridicule? I cannot grasp how this would help you in understanding her behaviour (or lack of according to you). And then you have the audacity to mention to her mother, that Babygirl was not being truthful regarding a seating situation in another class. When I questioned Babygirl about this incident, she mentioned that it was only one other student who disputed why she was sitting by herself. To believe one child over another, again, I question that occurrence. Why would you not ask the teacher why she was sitting by herself? If you had, perhaps you would’ve saved your credibility and found out that I actually requested that she move from her current seat, just as Babygirl was stating when you accused her of “not being truthful”. It was not because of her behaviour.

I understand the issue that you feel needs to addressed is Babygirl’s behaviour and from the first note I wrote back, I advised that I was indeed looking after it. What I do not need from you is to constantly belittle a 7 year old and her mannerisms. Not only in Babygirl’s case, but if you describe any child in this way, you might want to re-think your career choice.

As per Mr. E and a supply teacher who supplied for her in 2010, her behaviour was no worse than any other child in the class. I do not require a day by day play on how Babygirl disrupts, causes chaos and upsets the balance that is in your class. I do not need a recount of everything that Babygirl did poorly from every teacher that has ever taught Babygirl. If it is (was) an issue, they should bring it up to me directly, not through you.

I do not want to hear about her behaviour unless it affects her academically at which point you can send her to Mr. W to address. If in fact you deem her too much too handle and feel incapable of correcting her behaviour in a way that satisfies you, regardless of many years of a being teacher, please address this with the Principal or Vice Principal as I have no qualms about her being transferred out of your class.

Rgds,

This is sooooo sweet, but it makes me feel lonely.

2010-01-12T18:47:00.002-05:00

But you can't take Trinidad out of the Trini

October 8th –
We have arrived in Canada ! Finally!! This marks a new chapter in our lives. It's very nice here. It's a little cool, but who needs HOT weather? This is perfect: Not too hot; not too cold.
October 15th --
It is getting a little cooler, but we are adjusting. We bought some sweaters today and went for a short walk. Loving Toronto!!!..
This is what life is about!!!
October 30th --
The weather is definitely cooler now. We taped all the windows shut, so cold air cannot creep in. Outside may be cold, but it feels like Port-of-Spain in this house.
November 11th --
The news reports say snow is on the way ... we cannot wait!!!
We have never seen snow and it should be pretty exciting to see it for the first time.
November 14th--
It started snowing. The first of the season and the first real snow we have ever seen. The wife cooked Pelau and we sat by the window watching
soft flakes drift down, clinging to the trees and covering the ground. Could never do anyting like this in TRINI & IT WAS a BEAUTIFUL SIGHT!!!
November 15th--
We woke to a lovely blanket of crystal white snow covering the landscape. What a FANTASTIC sight! Every tree and shrub was covered like a beautiful white mantle. I shoveled snow for the first time and loved it. I did both our driveway and the sidewalk.
Later, the city snow plough came along and accidentally covered up our driveway with compacted snow from the street. The driver smiled and
waved and I waved back and shovelled again, Torontonians are so friendly!!!
November 18th--
It snowed an additional twelve inches last night and the temperature has dropped to around four degrees. The cold weather is not so bad. We can take this. Not at all as badas had we imagined. Several limbs on the trees and shrubs have snapped due to the weight of the snow. I shoveled our driveway again. Shortly afterwards the snow plough came by and did his trick again. Much of the snow is brownish grey.
November 19th--
Warmed up enough during the day to create some slush, which soon became ice again. Bought snow tires for both cars. I slipped and fell on my backside in the driveway, paid $130 for the chiropractor, but fortunately, nothing was broken.
Moresnow and ice expected.
November 20th --
Still cold. Sold my wife's car and bought a 4 X 4 in order to get to work.
November 21st--
On my way to work, the 4 X 4 skidded into theguardrail and did considerable damage to the right fender. We had another 15 inches of white shit last night. The vehicle have salt and shit all over it. More shovelling in store forme today! De dam snowplough man did he job again. Watch me an' him!
November 22nd--
Yuh believe dis? De first heating bill just come! How de hell it come up to so much???
November 30th--
Its two frigging degrees outside! an' more snow on de way . Every damtree in de yard geh damage up. An' to crown it off, de power went out mos ah the night. We try to keep from freezing to death wid candles an' kerosene heater, but de heater tip over an' nearly bun dung de kiss-meh-ass house.
Ah manage to put out de flames, but end up wid second degree burns on meh hans. Ah nearly bun off meh eyebrow an' eyelash. Den de car slide on de white shit again! on the way to de hospital, an' we had to write it off.
December 5th --
Look at meh crosses! Dis snow ain't plan to stop soon. De ting comin' down and down as if it go never stop!! What de arse is this?!!! Ah had to put on all meh clothes
dat ah own just to go out to meh mailbox. This is real shit! If ah ever catch the prick dat drive dat snowplough, ah tell yuh, ah go cross one lash in he arse. He go bawl like ten Tarzan when he get it. Ah really tink he does hide round de corner and wait 'til ah finish shovelling, den come down the street fas, fas, an' cover up we driveway again. Boy, ah tell yuh!!!
December 10th--
De power still off, de toilet freeze up. Some part ah de roof look like it ready to cave in.
December 15th--
Another mudder ass eleven more inches ah snow an' ice!!!! God know dis aint right. Ah put ah hole in de snow plough with me

The all time BEST moment in television ever.

Yeah, I'm fresh, supa fresh

2009-12-08T20:40:00.001-05:00

I would do me in a sec.

You know those Windows 7 commercial, where they have average looking people telling stories about they re-worked Microsoft to fix it up to better suite them. You know those parts where they have flash backs and you see how they see themselves as beautiful model-esque and brillliant. I feel like that in real life.

I will be back soon time guys.

You try to scream

2009-11-05T14:37:00.003-05:00

but terror takes the sound before you make it.

I'm home by myself and Gary just visited me again.

damn.it.

Gary (as named by John) is the ghost that lives in my house. I'm not sure if it is a girl or a boy. I'm not even sure if it's only one. I myself has seen the woman and I've heard the man speak. My mom has seen the little boy and my sister has encountered the male. Neekee had encountered one as well.
When we first moved in, there was an urn in the linen closet and my mom got rid of it. Every year since, right around Halloween (which usually coincides with a religious time for us Hindu's, where we pay homage and respect to the dead) this house gets visited. Now, I've never claimed to be religious in any means, but usually after these visits my mother will do this cleansing of the house and the ghosts won't come again until the next year.
He/She/It has contacted, yes, but has never been violent, which i'm grateful for. If they became violent, I would encourage my parents to sell the house.
But so far, all I really do is lose sleep.

I don't see nothing wrong

2009-11-04T18:24:00.006-05:00

with a little bump and grind.

And I know that you have got addicted

with your eyes.

I looooooved it!!!

No, I'm not a Jonas

2009-11-02T11:05:00.001-05:00

Brother, I'm a grown up.

I was watching one of my teen angsty shows and one of the young lovers confessed that he cheated on their relationship. This got me thinking; is confessing really good for the confeser or the confesee?? Is it good for anyone. They say ignorance is bliss, and I kind of believe it.
It can be applied to any situation actually, if you think about it; confessing to cheating, stealing or lying, etc. You know, all 10 of the commandments, basically.
So if confessing against a sin, the confessor is the one that is ridding themselves of burden, right? I mean, they are getting it off their chest, they are the ones clearing their conscience.
Now they've gone and out all this pressure onto the confessee. They could've thought that maybe thier relationship wasn't in the best place necessarily, but now they know that their trust in the confessor has been thrown away. Or has it? I mean, yeah, the confessor did break a rule, but they fessed up. That's worth something, right?
Then there's the other scenario, where the confessor doesn't confess but gets caught later on. Is that better? They were trying to save that burden from the confessee and keep it to themselves and something they will live with forever, and it in turns ends up backfiring, because it looks like they are now a liar.
I don't know what would be better, honestly.
I just know that if that was me, I wouldn't fess up. I would take that to the grave with me.
Deny, deny, deny........

If you should ever find someone new,

2009-11-01T09:51:00.004-05:00

I know she'd better be good to you.............

Totally random update;

I hate being brokeass.
I start work in a week. YAH!!
I don't get paid until the end of the month. BOO!!
Happy Birthday Daddy!
Why do my parents INSIST on living on a blasted haunted house?!?! (I'll update about that later)
Damn you Gary!!
Damn, I have a lot of spelling mistakes on this blog. I wish there was a spell check before posting.
Halloween party was the bomb. Thanks Meli

Ok, that's it.

3. Mel, John and Fat Head
4. Ballerinas dancing to baby beluga
5. Baked goods
6. Indian sweets
7. NO SNOW!!!
8. Pink Capes

10. Sauasage rolls.

My not so secret crush

2009-10-22T11:00:00.001-04:00

Yea, I think I like him

He ain't had a buzz like this.......

2009-10-22T09:10:00.003-04:00

....since the last time that he overdosed.

Shouts to Neekee , for getting this right. BONUS POINTS!!!

But in case the rest of you (all three) don't know where these lines are from, it's from this video; Forever by Drake, featuring Kanye, Lil Wayne and Eminem.

Everyone is weighing in on who they think has the best lyrics. And I am in no way, shape or form, a hip hop head. But I know what I like.

And I think that Eminem has the best "flow" (???), hahaha. I like how he picks up the beat, he rhymes quick. I think he has a tremendous amount of talent. Too bad he feels the need to dumb himself down, i.e his forst album and all the slim slady shit, where he raps in that high pitched voice making him seem like an idiot. He has the same affect that Ghost has singing reggae, hahaha.

Then I like Kanye's next. I know he's an ass, ans he totally contradicts the point of the song, but I feel where he's coming from. He's cocky and he's used to people letting him get away with the shit that he says and does. But he's human. I feel like he's trying to warn Drake, with all this fame and success he wants, be warned mang, be warned. But 'Ye is sort of a complainer. His first album had Spaceship, and he was complaining about working and not getting any reconition. Now he's getting attentiona nd he doesn't want it anymore. Meh, it's Kanye.

I feel like Drake and Lil Wayne's verse are weak. And again, this is only my opinion. Drake is like dumbing it down and not really singing about anything. He's way too cocky, and yes, he does have reason to be sure of his talent, but honestly, he needs to chill. I don't really like any of his songs, to be honest, other than this one, and I think it's because of Eminem.

Lil Wayne, is just himself. Half the time, I don't have any idea what he's saying. And I do like his songs, but they're more for the beats, and to hear Robin Thicke, hahaha. I love me the sounds of his soulful crooning.

But yea,my take.

I don't really have anything to write about as you can obviousky see from my last two posts.

Ok, that's it.

Bye.

Shhhhhhh.........

2009-10-22T08:51:00.002-04:00

..........My foots sleeping on the gas.

Dear Life,

I know I haven't really been good too you and you've given me nothing my support and love. You've given me oppurtunities and second, third and fourth chances and I keep fucking you over. You deserve so much more from me, and I feel disgusted that I haven't been what you were hoping for, what you were investing into a relationship. I feel like things have been moving too quickly and I've always just been behind by a couple days, but that's always been more than enough time to mess up what we were building towards.
I think you deserve better. You deserve some who appreciated the efforts made, who takes advantage and completes what's been handed to them. Someone who recriprocates those emotions and feelings back to you.
I guess you can call this my 'Dear John' letter.
I think we should break up.
Please don't call me or email me anymore.

Have a good one,
Love,
llleeesssaaa

Dananananana, dananananana, clapclapclapclap.

I went to Ocktoberfest yesterday. It consisted of eating really gross sausages with saukrate and drinking beer. I was fasting so I had the luxury of eating popcorn and beer nuts. Because I was dd too, I got a nifty sticker that got me access to unlimited free soda and juice (BONUS!!!!). The highlight of my night (other than seeing one of my cousins drunk out of her pants thanking all civil servants for their duties) was seeing these great masses of people doing the chicken dance. If you don't know what it is, YouTube it. Just all these people in sync. It was interesting. That will be my most memorable memory of my first Oktoberfest.

Say you gotta put the good with the bad, happy and the sad
So will u bring a better future than I had in the past
Oh Cause, I don't wanna make the same mistakes I did
I don't wanna fall back on my face again.

I'll admit it, I was scared to answer love's call
and if it hits better make it worth the fall.

We so tight

BabyGirl has gym today and she hates changing in the change rooms, especially now that she has gym last period. So on days that she has gym, she usually wears jogging pants and t-shirts so that she doesn't have to change and she already has on proper attire. Well, with jogging pants, they don't usually come with the elastic adjustable waists, they're either elastic or they have a string to tie. Well, Baby has some jogging pants where they are elastic and the string is for aesthetic purposes only. Today she wore one of the jogging pants that fit lengthwise but are loose around the waist. Since there is no way to adjust the waist on her jogging pants I have this method to make the waist fit on her pants. I grap the excess fabric either in the front or the back of her pants (which ever is loosest) and I take a hair tie and I tie the hair tie around the bunch of fabric. Now it does leave this piece out that is less than desirable, but it works.....mostly. However, I am sure today when she comes home from school, I will get in a loadful of crap because the hair tie probably came out and her pants have fallen off. It has happened before.

I used to have a man.....

My cousins wedding was this weekend. I'm not trying to only find the negative things that happened and dwell on those, but let's be honest; there was nothing good there to go to and there was no fun had. My night consisted of negative things, so I will tell you about that. If you don't want to know about it, or think that I am too negative, feel free to navigate your way off my page. Here are some highlights (if you will):

First of all, if anyone ever decides to mapquest Les Jarding banquet hall, DONT!!! You will get the wrong address. Ended up going 20mins in the wrong direction. Then I had my over anxious mother and grandmother in the car. Oooh boy, did I get an earful. We arrived on time though, at 6, and the bride was only then entering the building, to go to her special area to wait until she was called. Then, they did not have a seating plan. So remember, I was initally upset that I had to sit with single people. Well, now there was no seating plan, so I sat with Meli and my parents and aunt sat right beside us. When the speeches were going on, everyone was talking about the bride and how good a catch she was. Well, I 've known her most of my life, albeit, we weren't close or anything, but we knew eachother and I'm sorry, but I don't share these same memories. I know it's her wedding and they can't really say she's a bitch and good for nothing, but it just got me thinking that hey, maybe I missed out on this great person whom everyone seems to truly like. But then I'm like 'fuck it. I have enough great people in my life and they are all that I need'. The speeches were long. The MOH, i'll admit had a speech, which is one up on me who just started crying and left the mic (MELI, I TOLD YOU I DIDN'T WANT TO!!!), but I thought she was too loud and obnoxious. Nothing new. The music sucked. The dj talked too much. I did like the fact that I had unlimited access to all-i-can-drink virgin caesars. The bartender kept laughing at me whenever I ordered it though, is there something humourous about me asking for that?? The meal was buffet!! And the options sucked. There wasn't even fried chicken. The speeches ended up going on until 10 pm. Then the one cousin that I speak to, she left at 11. Meli left even before the speeches were done!! Plus my dress was too loose around my breasts area and I was having issues with it staying up. My cousin decided that her sister should get the bouquet for the toss, and her parents were none the happier. Honestly, she hasn't even been with the guy for a year yet. Plus, they're soooo awkward. They just look like they're trying too hard.
So, it was what was expected.

I'm at a loss. I bought a strapless dress and it's a little short for the wedding this weekend. Now it's going to be cold and I don't have a sweater or coverup to wear with it. What do you suggest??

Please see below my dress and shoes, except my dress doesn't have that green belt, it's black, and the shoes are black sequenced.

The world is filled with 'em

2009-09-14T12:33:00.004-04:00

Morons, idiots, jackasses, and assholes. Whatever you want to call them, unfortunately, the world is filled with them.

Some examples are:

1. Caster Semenya. She is not the idiot though. She is victim of such people who, unfortunately for her, head the IAAF. She is also a runner competing to be in the Olympics. Her story is that she (and yes I said she) was born a hamophrodite. However, she didn't know and no one in her family knew. To train as a female runner, there are instances where girls don't get their periods at all, and she was athletic, so she had a runners body; very slim and muscular, almost no breasts. Hell, I'm not a runner and I have no breasts. Anyways, unbeknownst it to ANYONE, she has no female reproductive organs and internal male testicles. Now, in her last race, she blew the competition out of the dust and that caused some jealousy with the other runners. They wanted proof that she was a female. They claimed that she was a man racing as a female to win some medals. So she went for testing, and low and behold the results came out that she was a hemaphrodite. But she didn't get the results first hand. No, it was PUBLISHED IN AN AUSTRALIAN NEWSPAPER before she even knew!!!! Before her family even knew!!! Now this poor girl has to deal with all the bs since she has been outed before she even knew. It was said that she's under suicide watch. My heart goes out to her.

2. Kanye West is a jackass. 'Nuff said.

3. My cousin is getting married this weekend. Now, we've been to weddings where they've seated people to keep the whole family together, or to keep the adults together, but the cousins (if you will) sat together, and even where they split up everyone, so that there are new people sitting with new people but they always kept Meli and I together. Now for this cousins wedding, they've decided to sit the single people together and the married people together then, I guess. So Baby and I am sitting with my cousins (I think), and Meli and my parents are sitting together with my aunt and Grandma. Why the f*ck would you seperate it to sit like that?!?! I want to broadcast my single mommy hood?!?! I am soo desperate to be hooked up with someone?!??! Well, I am, but you don't need to share my business like that man........

Ay yo, I smoke like a chimney

2009-09-10T11:40:00.006-04:00

Matter fact - I smoke like a gun when a killer sees his enemy.

Not really, I don't smoke, but why is it you can't find lyrics like this anymore. WHO KILLED THE MOTHER FRICKIN' MUSIC?!?!?!

Anywho, just an update in my sad and pathetic life. No, I lie again, I'm just in one of those moods where I think my life suck, but really I should be counting my blessings. And I am grateful for everything that everybody that I have in my life. I have had alot of oppurtunities that have been more than enough to get me to where I want to be, it's my own slackness and laziness that's stopping me. I have no one to blame but myself.

Again, not really the point. This weekend was a long weekend. I made it extra long, not to the liking of Meli, as now I don't hav enough vacation time in November to go to Turks and Caicos. I know, I suck, I'm sorry (again). I will work something out, don't even worry about it.

Tried to prep Baby for the first day back. No, that's not true. I was trying to prep for the first day back for Baby. I miss sleeping in. I forgot how creative one has to be to pack a lunch. I forget how inflexible teachers can be and even worse, school secretaries. Hello, I'm not the student, speak to me like an adult, BECAUSE I AM ONE!!!! I forgot about all the issues Baby has with "friends". I forgot how I have to fight the urge to go to the school and smack all the wayward children. I forgot that I have to let Baby fight her own battles, and try not to hold on so tight. I forgot about all the extra costs involved with public school as all our money is now going into Catholic school board, and the new Afro-centric school.

Mo, you don't know how good you got it, mannnn.

2009-09-02T14:40:00.003-04:00

Nah baby girl, that's a shooting star with your name.

So Baby starts grade 2 in less than a week. We're super stoked. We were recently out buying some back to school stuff, like pencils, eraser, pencil crayons, pencil cases, you know, stuff like that. Baby had specific things that she liked, prodominantly stuff licenced to Disney Princess. Now, if you did the math, she just turned 7 years old.
Here's my question, is she too old for this stuff?
She still likes to watch Treehouse and Disney Playhouse. She likes to play dress up and plays with her dolls and has imaginary friends. When we hang out with other kids, she will play with the younger ones, rather than the older ones. She's still into Disney Princess (as stated above), and Disney Tinkerbell and even CareBears. She hasn't really moved onto Hannah Montana or any of that Disney Channel stuff. Frankly, I don't mind that, because really those kids on those shows have way too much attitude. My child has enough of her own, she doesn't need those influences as to how to make my life more difficult.
Even last year, she came home and said, her friends made fun of her because she still believes in Santa and the tooth fairy. How and when should I break it to her? I want her to get everything out of her childhood, because she will have to grow up soon enough.

Happy Anniversary.......

I just can't control my feet.

On Friday I had less than a quater tank of gas at the end of a very irritating and tiresome night. I thought to myself that I would fill up in the morning or sometime during the weekend. Little did I know, that my sister had plans to kidnap my daughter (therefore me, as well) and we were on the adventure of a weekend. Came back home yesterday afternoon, and I did have time to get gas, but my lazy gene kicked in, so I lay on the couch for the duration of the evening. Before I went to bed though, my dad asked how much gas I had in my car. I told him the truth, less than half a tank. I would leave about five minutes early to get to work and stop at a gas station to fill up. As I was making my coffee this morning, my mom told me that my dad had taken my car over the weekend to put air in the tires because they looked low. As soon as I heard that, I knew that my dad filled up gas for me. Low and behold, when I got into my car this morning, I had a full tank.
Point of my story is, I love my daddy.

Happy Birthday MJ

The Koala and the Lizard

2009-08-26T14:13:00.001-04:00

THE KOALA AND THE LIZARD

A koala was sitting in a gum tree smoking a joint
when a little lizard walked past,
looked up and said,'Hey Koala!
What are you doing?'

The koala said, 'Smoking a joint, come up
and have some.'

So the little lizard climbed up and sat
next to the koala where they enjoyed
a few joints. After a while the little lizard
said that his mouth was 'dry' and that
he was going to get a drink from the river.

The little lizard was so stoned that he
leaned over too far and fell into the river.

A crocodile saw this and swam over to the
little lizard and helped him to the side.
Then he asked the little lizard,
'What's the matter with you?'

The little lizard explained to the crocodile that he had been sitting with the koala in the tree, smoking a joint, but got too stoned and fell into the river while taking a drink..

The crocodile said that he had to check this out and walked into the rain forest, found the tree where the koala was sitting finishing a joint. The crocodile looked up and said,

'Hey you!'
So the koala looked down at him and said,

'Shiiiiiiiiiiit dude...
How much water did you drink!?'

The Soucouyant or Soucriant in Caribbean and specifically Trinidadian folklore is a creature that lives by day as an old woman at the end of the village. By night, however, she strips off her wrinkled skin, puts it in a mortar and flies in the shape of a fireball through the darkness, looking for a victim to suck the life-blood out of. To get rid of her, you must put coarse salt in the mortar containing her skin, then she cannot put it back on and must perish. The Soucouyant practices witchcraft, voodoo, and black magic. Belief in Soucoyants is still preserved to some extent in Trinidad.[citation needed]

Origin
Belongs to a class of spirits called Jumbies. Some believe that soucouyants were brought from the European countries in the form of French vampire-myths. These beliefs intermingled with those of Africans, which were then enslaved. Others believe that soucouyants were actually elder ladies, who experienced many things unbearable to their neighbors. The neighbors, by this line of thought, would mock them for their wrinkled skin and fear their association with witchcraft.[citation needed].

In the French West Indies, specifically the island of Guadeloupe, the Soukougnan or Soukounian is likewise a person able to shed their skin to turn into a vampiric fireball, but they can be anyone, not only old women, although some affirm that only women could become Soukounian, because only female breasts could contain the creature's wings.

Beliefs
The skin of the soucouyant is said to be very valuable, as it is used when practicing the Black Magic - Obeah. The soucouyant can enter a home by turning into a fireball, and then entering through the keyhole or any crack/crevice in the home. If the soucouyant draws out too much blood from its victim, it is believed that the victim will die and become a soucouyant itself, or else perish entirely, leaving its killer to assume its skin.

So Meli and I are starting are wedding planning business. We're willing to do the first couple relatively cheap (think FREE), just to get ourselves out there. If you know anyone that has a party that they need help planning, please think of us.

no fun title

2009-08-17T11:17:00.003-04:00

Sorry, but i'm way tooooo lazy today to think of a creative title.

I loved the festivites this weekend, considering there was nothing really to celebrate. I lie, it's summer!!!

On Friday, Neekee, Meli, and I went out for Korean BBQ. Well, it was supposed to be Korean, because we were supposed to do Indian the previous weekend, but Maks wasn't feeling well, and I already had plans, so we re-scheduled. We then later decided that it would be for Neekee's bday since she would be MIA for it this year. So we went to Miga BBQ. It was sooo good. There was Japanese and Korean BBQ. So we had some sashimi (salmon, tuna, red snapper and white fish) and Korean BBQ (beef short ribs, boneless beef, spicy portk, spicy chicken, squid, shrimp and mussels). It was soooooo good. There wasn't cabbage kimchi, there was this cucumber kimchi, which was pretty good. And bean sprouts. I would definately go again.

Saturday and Sunday's was well wasted time at the beach. Oh, how I wish evey weekend, we could go to the beach.

I'm asking shorty 'what's up with you?'

2009-08-13T14:10:00.004-04:00

She's asking 'what's up with me'....

My cousin got married two years ago. Let's call him "P" for pathetic. He's the type of guy that loves to be in love. He was in a steady relationship all through high school with the same girl. They broke up only because her parents wouldn't let her marry him for religious reasons. Then he promptly hooked up with his next girlfriend (whom we will name "S" for sad), not even a month after the break up. We knew this because, HE DECIDED TO INTRODUCE HER TO THE FAMILY!!!!! They were already saying that they were going to get married. So there were always questions about when they were going to get married, because his parents never really said anything and we weren't sure if we could take P&S seriously. Even right up to Meli's wedding, we kept getting acknowledgements that they were getting married. OK, great. We won't believe anything until we get the invitation. 6 months later, lo and behold, we get the invitation in the mail.
I actually wanted a guy like that, because in their brain everything is rainbow and butterflies. I mean, he would be so in love with the idea of being in love with me, he would put up with all my bullshit.
Or so I thought.
S has been emailing lately though because she's going through some issues. Apparently, P left her on Christmas Eve. That's is not common knowledge, so please people, keep it on the down low. I know it's on a blog, but you guys are special. Ok, so anyways, I'm just trying to supportive to S. Hell, I would've been supportive to P if he came to m eand told me that too. Notice the past tense of that statement. That has all changed.
Yesterday I rec'd an email from S saying she found his very public profile on Facebook and there are pictures of him and his new chick (we shall refer to her as "D" simply because I wanted to name her slut,or whore, or stupid, or bitch or anything degrading but we will stick with Dumb)that he hooked up with WHILE STILL MARRIED!!! He brought her into their matrimonial home and did things with her that only married couples do IN THEIR OWN HOME.
I feel like i'm am being pulled into this situation. I am very very opinionated and I feel like this is a bad thing that I know all this stuff about his lying, cheating scumbag ways because we do have another family wedding coming up in a month and I don't know how I will be able to keep quiet if I do see him. S has requested that I not say anything to him until the divorce is finalized, but how do I stay quiet. I really just want to smack him. I hope he doesn't show up.
I lie. I want him to show up with the chick........

That's right, put your pom-poms down

POW

.........like Megatron

So I guess i'm learning the hard way, that the grass isn't greener in the yard next door. Especially when the neighbour promises of a brand new lawn mower and hedge trimmer. Especially, when I realise that the property is actually a rental piece and there hasn't been a steady tenant ever. Especially since I realised that the home owner actuallly kicked out the previous tenant, because they didn't like them. Next time, I decide to move houses, I should reallly look into the neighbourhood and the actual block that the property is on. Lesson learned the hard way.
Mind you, because I am in dire need to move out now, I am again looking for anything that I can find within my budget, even another rental property.
But i'm promising myself, that my next steady yard will be a well thought of place and not necessarily just a move on a whim.......

I put you in the game and.........

She say she know this ball player and he think I'm pretty

Had a fun filled weekend, but really it goes by too quickly. I'm looking forward to next weekend though, Korean BBQ, the beach and maybe shopping in Buffalo!

I've been reading this blog because one night I was flipping through blogs on my phone and stumbled upon this one. At first, it was funny and I actually had a few lol's moments. Plus, i'm single and I'm trying to find out how guys think, so I won't single anymore (other than the whole self-sabotage thing that has happened with the last 3 guys I was dealing with).
Now, this blog is a little bit male chauvanistics, but for the most part, I think it's kinda true. It's my inisght into a guys brain. Now, there are a few posts that deal with specifically black women, but the majority of it can be applied to women in general.
Now, this blog mostly says that if you can't get and keep a man, then the problem is you. And if you do read my blog, you know, that my commenters all think that I do have some mental issues too.
Now here's my question; should I try to be sane to attact and keep the guy? And if I do, then there's always the issue of me eventually morphing back into my insane self, because my "sane" self will all be just a front anyways, right??

pyscheeeeee....

I'm not here for your entertainment

2009-08-06T15:16:00.003-04:00

You don't really want to mess with me tonight

Maybe it's just me and maybe this explains why i'm single, but I hate it, like DESPISES it when a girl has to change who she is for a dude! Why the f*ck can't a girl be the same person she is with her friends and boyfriend/husband?!?! Don't change your voice when you pick up the phone, don't front like you don't do stuff you know you do, and lastly, don't drop jack all for him!
I've known too many girls that do all this crap for these dudes. And it's not even like they're really good guys. They've put these girls through sh*t and the girls still let them get away with it. Hell, most of the girls i'm talking about are still with these guys. Now, it's true, it's not necessarily the guys fault if he's an ass, but c'mon now girls, you've cuss'd me out for less than what they've done to you!
I'm soooo tired of being put on the blasted back burner because the guy suddenly realises that he has time for you.

F*UCK YOU!!

But before the night is through

I wanna do bad things with you.........

So she and her rave about True Blood. So being the independant individual that I am, I decided to follow fashion and see what the hype is with it. Honestly, after the whole Twilight debacle, I'm honestly ready to take a break from vampires for a longggg ass while. But they just kept on and on about how no sparkly vampires (which is a good, good thing), no stupid little girls falling in love with the beautiful vampires, (although Sookie is a little bit annoying). I decided to give it a try.
I went to Blockbuster because I don't have HBO and I keep forgetting what site Neekee told me to go to. I thought that the whole season would be on the same disc, so I didn't even look at the dvd when I rented it. I ended up renting episodes 8,9 and 10. Then hell, I already paid for it might as well watch it. So since I was dropped right in the middle, I wasn't really blown away. It was ok.....definately better than Twilight, but still just meh.
AND WHAT THE HELL IS IT WITH VAMPIRES AND WEREWOLVES!?!?!?!
But meh, whatever. Later this week, I'm going to try to get the first couple episodes and see if it makes a difference.
Will keep you posted.

I wish that my goods

Me: What kind of girls do you usually go for?
Him: I'm usually attracted to the beautiful girls. You know, the ones who stop traffic and captures everyones attention when they walk into the room......
Me: ***blushes, while smiling broadly***
Him:.....but those girls usually dump me for the hot guy with the luxury sports car and penthouse condos. So i've since decided to only date ugly girls with low self esteem who can't get a better guy
Me: ***Blank stare***

2009-07-14T14:33:00.003-04:00

you see i loved hard once
but the love wasn't returned
i found out the man i'd die for he wasn't even concerned
in time it turned
he tried to burn me like a perm
though my eyes saw the deception, my heart wouldn't let me learn
For, some dumb woman was I
and every time he'd lie
he would cry and inside i'd die
my heart must have died a thousand deaths
compared myself to Toni Braxton thought I'd never catch my breath
nothing left, he stole the heart beating from my chest
i tried to call the cops that type of theif they can't arrest
pain suppressed will lead to cardiac arrest
diamonds deserve diamonds but he convinced me I was worth less
when my peoples would protest
i told 'em mind they business 'cause my shit was complex
more than just the sex
i was blessed but couldn't feel it like when i was caressed
i'd spend nights clutchin my breast overwhelmed by god's test
i was god's best, contemplatin death because you left
but no man is ever worth a paradise manifest

Who be in a Japanese restaurant, eating sushi.....

2009-07-09T14:44:00.006-04:00

**WARNING WARNING WARNING***
Really, really, really long post

I'm not sure if you remember this or not, but if not, refresh yourself. At the end of it, there was a part about Officer ****....or Nat....or Knatt....Well, whatever, Officer Looking-Good-but-probably-married-and-somewhat-psycho-but-nonetheless-drop-dead-gorgeous.
Ok, some back info on our "history" if you will. We were involved in a case together about 6 years ago (I was a witness to a heinous crime and he was one of the officers that were called to the scene). Well, the crime ended making it's way to trial, so I had to give my statement to him. He was definately a hottie. And a cop!! I ♥ cops. Anyways, he called one day to give an update on the trial or something, I honestly don't remember, and he ended up asking me out for coffee!! I knew that I was blushing on the phone. I'm a nerd, I know. Anyways, we tried to find some time to meet up for a while. He always wanted to meet while he was working. My mother made it known that she thinks he's married, and that's why he's always trying to get together when he works. And he only called me when he was at work too. So right before we actually went to trial, he went MIA. I called his division (Canadian terms for precinct) and he was on a leave of absense. Meli and I both thought that he had gone crazy and was taking time off. My mother thought that he went to India to get married. He was now an additional write off in my history of failed relationships.
Well, apparently Officer Hottie is back in town. Turns out that he really did go on a leave of absense. He went undercover to Vancouver, and 'leave of absense' is the terminology that you use for such occassions. How do I know, you ask. Well, he just happened to drive by my house when I wasn't home, and my parents and their subtle selves waved to him. WAVED.TO.HIM!!!! He came into the driveway and started talking to them and my dad ended up telling him I wasn't home and that I would be home tomorrow. Needless to say, I was giddy. Sure my parents lack tact, but hey, they get the job done.
The next day, Officer Too-Hottie shows up again!! I was at a birthday party though, so I wasn't home. I suspected he might be coming, but I didn't want to be home anyways, because I didn't get my eyebrows done. Plus, I had gained some weight in my mid section, and I am now a fat ass. And since he's gorgeousssss, I didn't want to be a let down. So, my dad gave him my number. Did I mention that I love my daddy. Yes, even my dad knew about my infatuation with Officer Gorgeous. So at the party, Officer Hottie ends up calling and we talk for a bit. After a little conversation, I had to go back, because it was Baby's turn at eating the donut on a string. Don't ask. Well Officer Mui-Good-Looking and myself end up texting for the whole party.
Now, here's the interesting part; he was looking for a booty call. He made it known right off the bat. I got offended and shut down the conversation. I mean, is that even allowed for a cop? Aren't they supposed to be society's prime citizens?!?! Since when is being easy a characteristic of an outstanding member of society??? Anyways, as per her, there was a better way to handle the situation. So a week after the shutdown conversation, I sent another text to apologise for the way I handled the situation, but I wasn't interested in a physical relationship only. I wasn't necessarily looking for long term, but definately not looking for booty calling. He said he understood but still wanted to talk. I honestly liked the attention I was getting from him.
He was still all about the coffee thing, but I really do have a tight schedule and don't really have time to date. So one night, he's like he'll bring the coffee to my house and we can just sit outside. I said ok, as that is all that I could do at the moment. See how exciting my social life is; I only have time for a coffe at 10:30 at night. I digress. Here are some "highlights" of our conversation:

OH (Officer Hottie): I moved to **** from ********
Me: Me too. Where abouts in *******?
OH: *****. It was such a shock to move from *****, because my best friend was black, and I had oriental friends, and west indian and white.
Me: Really, I thought you would've been comfortable around all these Indian people........

I then proceed to tell him the story of one of my friends whom I was reallly really close to in high school and in the last year she pulls away from us (the multi-cultural crew in high school) to hang with "her own kind".

Me: Thanks for the coffee. How come you didn't get one? (He was drinking a bottle of water)
OH: I don't drink coffee.
Me: Really? I thought all cops hang out at Tim Hortons (Canada's less expensive, simpler [none of this grande, vente nonsense] version of Starbucks).
OH: No, actually alot of police officers don't like coffee.
Me: Oh, it must be the donuts then......

Oh, and the best part was he was texting me when I met him and I showed him the text that he just sent. I have him saved in my phone as 'Officer Jackass'.
But even after all of that, when I left, he said that we would still meet in two days. That was our original "date". And he even texted me before I went to sleep. I didn't think my conversation deterred him.

But I haven't heard from him since. I'm not sure if I did something, or maybe he was really looking for a booty call, and didn't want to waste anymore time with me. Maybe he needed some time to let the conversation soak in before he realised that I am a raving lunatic. I don't know.

I'm beginning to think that maybe there is something wrong with me.
