Halloween

This is what a hottie looks like

bed, bath and beyond to much shopping....

Image
So tell me what do you think of my happy shopping excursion. one day off and all i have to show for it is new bedding, a foot rest and a new table for my tiny room, proving yet again how much i enjoy shopping and how much crap i can fit into my tiny room..

So this is what it feels like

to know that you were always right, that the death of millions of your people was in fact a genocide, that life was lost and that the world might finally accept it as genocide. It's seems a bit silly doesn't it, for a country like Turkey so "Powerful" on the world stage to be so livid about admitting there crime from nearly 92 years ago. Why can't they simply admit to our pain, admit there mistake and then move on let the world find some peace. why cover one mistake with more blood shead. can someone explain it to me. because i for one simply don't understand. But at least today i know what it feels like to have my peoples pain and my history seen as truth rather then theory......

in memory of what could of been

I'm mad at the universe today, a friend of mine Justin, passed away a few days ago. gone at 25 a man who was on that cusp where in you know who you are, and have within you such a giving and good spirit that the world simply wont allow you to sit still. He died doing something he loved, Riding his bike no doubt enjoying the image of finishing chemo and starting his next quest. my head and heart hurts at the thought that i wont get to speak to him again, that my chance at knowing this amazing person for the rest of our life is gone. it just doesn't seem right because for all our talking, all our conversations, all our moments of understanding one another i never really made that jump. the one that says i want something more the one that tells a person with no decoder ring needed that they are one of the important people in your life. I hope you are in peace Justin, i hope what ever is after this world is treating you well, and that someday we can finish that conversation we sta...

What i Did during my would be summer

So A Summer of Major Changes was had by all. Well at least me.. New location, new challenges and a new throbbing pain in my neck. One would think that by 23 I’d have a clue what my plan for the future actually is. But unfortunately my future isn't as pre-set as I’d of liked. Rather I still have a mountain of decisions to make and a millisecond to make them. Maybe someday I’ll figure out what I want but for now I’m set in a tingle to comfortable annoyance. Currently, I'm stuck at work on the last day of summer season, counting the minutes till the day is over. At which point I’ll have a whopping two day weekend due to Labor Day, yay!! Someone needs to inform college graduates that once they leave college they will be forced to forgo weekends, summer and basically any other holiday of fun in exchange for money. This evening should prove enjoyable, hitting the oc street fair with Crystal and jacklin and then heading over to NN's for a fun evening of Drunkennee goodness. well i...

I really hate change......

So for the handful of you that don't know I’m transferring jobs staying with wells Fargo but moving to a different location. I’ve known this time would come but honestly I didn't think I’d ever see it. My last day at my branch is just two days away. And then it's a new start. Leaving Glendale for Claremont . leaving my comfort zone, great friends, an awesome boss and service manager, and going to a place where I know like one person, and have no idea what to expect. A part of me is just waiting for it to really hit me, for the tears to flow and the big softy deep inside of me to show up. But I keep trying to hold it in. letting a few tears fall here and there when I really don't want them too and trying to pretend like this wont change anything. Even though it's going to change everything. I'm not used to leaving on good terms, to having people who are going to miss me. I’m used to leaving because I need out, because I’ve done all I can and have to try somethi...

I Like this week

Firday night was the Virginia, Julie and Suzanne are bored so lets go drinking day we also finally got to meet Joel. Nadia got engaged to Niyaz on Thursday so so we had a big shindig at the pub to celebrate on saturday, sunday was Crystals 25th birthday bruch yet another shindig, so my weekend was a orange county drunken blur just how i like them. I got my promotion at work i'll be going to banker training for 6 weeks in down town la and in theory then return to my branch but there is currently a battle in wells fargo over who will get this hot banker. Nick is finally leaving sears for orack which means a better job, better hours, benefits and most of all he wont have a desire to poke holes in the bottom of paper cups so his boss will get coffee on his shirt. I put 400 dollars worth of work on the camry so it's actually running like a car and not shaking. we had our anual audit this monday and got a 93% so we aced it yay us. Over all it's been a very nice productive week, ...

3rd time might actually be the charm

Image
I realized something yesterday. Happiness is a long road. One that includes a lot of turns and pauses needed to find our correct location. Yesterday marked my Aunt Vera’s 3rd marriage and for the first time in a long time I saw my aunt truly happy. There she stood in front of friends and family marrying a man she truly loved, her daughter giving her to him to share. For as long as I can remember my aunt Vera has been searching for the perfect love in the process she found 2 men who couldn't really love her the way he needed to and a daughter who would love her for an eternity. This new man in my aunts life loves her for who she is and as any good match should he loves her not to correct her but to stand beside her as she grows each day. While at the wedding I also watched my great uncle Harry sit beside his new girlfriend a woman he cares for deeply as was evident from the look of happiness in his eyes which is way we all understood, that at the age of 66 only a few years a...

Front Row Baby!!!!

Image
So after leaving later then i wanted, having to go threw dental work, getting lost in LA, Hollywood and Glendale, don't ask i'll explain later. And finding parking in a lot that still ended up giving me a ticket, 35 dollars bastard cop. I finally arrived at Silverchair last night at 8:34 just in time to get to the front row for a Show that seriously shaped my world and put me in my happy place for a long fucking time. The Show was amazing the band played all my favorite songs and my favorite member chris was literally in front of me the whole show. aww I love that sweaty hot ozzy boy. And take a few good pictures with my cell phone to remember the night made it all amazing. It was an amazing night. I loved ever fucking minute of it from jokes about pot smoking jungle animals to bringing an actual baby on stage my boys in silverchair are all class. Silverchair live is like choclate you love it from the second you get a taste and all you ever want is another shot at the sweet tr...

My Greatest Fear

Image
Da na da na da na da na da na Okay so I was stuck at the dentist for a little over an hour getting the worlds biggest cavity filled today. It was long painful and it means that i'll spend the rest of the day trying to get used to the filling. In other news I'll be leaving for Silverchair in like an hour and 20 minutes. I can't wait i get to see The Best Band On Earth perform live!!!! I am so Happy I don't even Care that My teeth are killing me or that i need to fix my hair and deal with Down Town LA Traffic. all that matters is the Music. K well I better go the flat iron is a calling.

A Night out with Nadia and our old friend Beer... So ya after a long week of working i spent a few hours at a carppy club with nadia and niyaz listening to crappy local bands.

43 day

Image
It's been one of those weeks where today tomorrow and yesterday all seem like the same day. Wednesday consisted of a dentist appointment for my bi-yearly checkup now considering i go to the dentist monthly one would think they'd bother to pock around a bit once in a while but alas no such luck. At any rate the official dentist report was i had only one cavity and surprise suprise i need oral surgery to remove all four of my wisdom teeth which are apparently coming in sideways. go figure only my life would be coming to me at an angle. I'll be going under the knife on the 9 Th of march yay me. and i get to take a whole week off work to recover. here's hoping i recover in 3 days and spend the other 4 going to the beach. doubtful but still..... As for the nine to five well work is doing that thing where it hits a nice routine i can live with, if i stay quiet and keep my nose clean maybe just maybe I'll get the fuck out of there before my soul i...

fortune cookie says

"you will become an accomplished writer." I have to wonder, do cookies really know who they are going to end up with and if so does that mean that my cookie is trying to tell me to get off my butt and get back to my career of choice instead of the one i fell into. here is hoping the cookie says yes. News in notes: * I got my hotel for coachella. * I am seeing everclear friday * I got tickets for silverchair for next month * I've worked the last 5 days in a row and will be working another 2 before i have any time off *I got to see Crystal today for the first time in weeks and plan out a trip on pch for the weekend.

Why i love to read

There are few acts in life that feel as good as picking up a book and reading it from cover to cover. What people forget is just how many books there are out there in the world and as you finish one who among us isn't tempted to pick up another and start the journey again. This weeks reading list "Forever in blue" "What I know now" "Fresno Stories" "I love everybody, and other atrocious lies"

See The world needs to recognize just how awsome a sister i truly am, on my day off i chose to wake up at 4:40am get dressed and drive my sister and her friend to the trainstation in fullerton to catch a train to San Francisco. now at 6:38am I'm home awake and have no ability to go to sleep so I blame my sister for my renewed use of my gym pass. thanks sis. I forced Nick to apply for a second job yesterday and got him a 30 day free gym pass to 24 hour fitness so basically i'm the greatest friend ever as i have set one of this years resolutions as "Making people i care about change there lives for the better." and dear Nick is my first victim.
