Weekend in Recap
What a weekend. Friday, I went to a lil Christmas party in Venice beach before I went home to take care of pop. It was cool, seeing my friends from New York and stuff, and doing the whole White elephant thang. I got a dvd, cd, and fleece throw blanket taken away from me and ended up w/ some x-mas mugs...damn. But, we drank wine and caught up on old times...it was a lot of fun. Saturday, went to Simbang Gabi with pop @ St. Augustine and saw people I hadn't seen in years. I didn't do much else but a lil shopping w/ the folks and wrapping gifts and preparing for the UFFNOS partay that was going to happen the next day over at my folks' place. Oh yeah, there was a black out at about 1 AM...which sucks when you're wide awake...so I broke out the emergency lantern and read...YES, read. Sunday morning, started cooking and cleaning some more for the party. Party came around, we did White Elephant #2(for me) and I ended up w/ a starbucks gift card...DOPE ASS. We exchanged and I got stuff that I really wanted...stuff for my office(decorations), a filing cabinet thingy, a box of chocolate covered cherries(which, for some reason, no one likes but me, thanks Caren). I got Viv, the new Tim McGraw CD, Monsters Ball DVD and a 4 pack of 35mm film to go w/ the new camera she's gettin from her dad. After that just hung out pretty late and just reminisced about the good old days. I hadn't laughed like I did last night for a long long time. You know, when you're stomach feels like it's gonna break and you'll just topple over? When you start coughing cuz you're laughing so hard your back hurts? It was like that.
When I went to th@ mass on Saturday, I saw my old teacher from elementary school...man it was like 11 years since I last saw her...she was really really close at guessing who I was, I guess my bald head throws everyone off. No one from mid-highschool and prior seems to recognize me at all...I guess I must have really filled out or something, cuz I've had countless experiences where I ran into someone from said eras and they totally didn't recognize me. I trip out that I'ce changed so much, physically...that people don't recognize me...is that a good thing or bad? Who knows...all I know is that I'm different...which is weird though cuz I always recognize people and to me, so how come no one I know or knew has changed that much. Or maybe they did...maybe they have changed so much as I have and we walked pass each other and didn't even notice? Cuz we were both so completely different, it never even crossed our minds....that would be crazy.
The thing I hate about going up to LA during the weekends is not having access to the internet...and stuff like that. I have a laptop, but my dial-up configuration is messed up...actually the plug is messed up so I can't use it to dial up...so no blogs, no internet, no www linkage... I should just jot down the ideas as they come into my head and write about it later...but it's not the same. It's not like being up at 2 AM and wanting to write something...oh well...I'll figure something out. But the topper is that I have no AIM...yes, digital cable is all well and good, but it gets a lil lonely at night after pop is sleeping and I am just there. Mind you, I can be enriching my ever-decaying mind by reading or by learning stuff, but hey, it's the weekend...F that. Ha ha ha...I need to get a new plug but it's gonna cost me a few dabloons...so I gotta wait til I recover from the financial dip of the season of giving.
You wanna know how lazy I am? I was shopping the other day and saw something(can't say what, cuz it's an x-mas gift, and YOU might be getting it...he he he)...anyway, I saw the price and it was 2 bucks more at the place I currently was at. But I knew I could get it for cheaper elsewhere, but I was so not feeling like going to another place I got it anyway. Lazy huh? But I can justify it...is it really worth those two dollars to get INTO your car, DRIVE to another place, LOOK to see IF they even have it, and then GET in line...AGAIN? Nah, not worth two measly dollars...not to me at least. So I have justified my end w/ a means. Being lazy is so funny...are you ever really hungry, but you're so tired that you don't feel like getting up? So you just starve? Here's another one, we'll drive around a store parking lot for like an extra five minutes to get a close spot, when we could've gotten one further away and saved 3 minutes on the driving around and wasting time. Sheesh, that's funny...our laziness is the bane of our society...cruise control...what a joke.
My niece is so damn cute and smart. She is, she names all of her lil toys, and REMEMBERS them. She loves to sing and dance, and do gymnastics and stuff. She could totally keep you entertained for hours on end. Seriously, I'm not even just saying this because I am a biased uncle/godfather...but because I really think that if I were a totally un-biased stranger...I would still think the same thing. For a 2 year 3 month and two days old baby...she can speak w/ astonishing clarity. Her thought process is amazingly organized and she is just soooo polite and funny. Cute I tell you, anyone dare challenge the cutest baby in the world?(If I were all pro at this website stuff, which aparently, I am NOT) that would have been a cool link that when clicked, showed a picture of London...my only niece. he he he...
So today we had a potluck at work, and now I'm hella tired. Cuz there was so much food, and one of the items...turkey. The deadliest food of all when you need to do stuff. Turkey is like the most potent sleeping agent known to potlucks. He he he, It's one of those things that reminds you how much you DON'T wanna work...goodness...it has me counting the hours down for today and tomorrow. I think I'm gonna be like the only person of all my friends in Irvine, cuz I have work tomorrow AND the day after X-mas. How much does that suck? One day w/ the family for x-mas...whoop dee doo. I can't even hit the day after X-mas sale. Why? Cuz I"ll be at work. All I can say is, well, what can you do...so take a deep breath, shrug it off, and complain a little more. I HAVE TO WORK, IT SUCKS. To all y'all on vacation or don't have a job to report to, you don't know how lucky you are.
Funny how people use their sites for so many different things...updates, vents, and mine...I use it for moaning and complaining about things that I have no real control over...ha ha ha...and then I look back and laugh...and then complain about how much I complain. Wow, this is a long blog man....
Tip for the day...
