**Correction**

Cic was right, it was the significant other that placed the ad. He was reading through them and HE responded. Man, and I said I JUST listened to it too. I'm serious though, I did just listen to it.

Just another reminder of how bad I am at song lyrics... They were talking about how guys were worse than girls at song lyrics. But I think I would have to take the cake...check these out:

Natalie Imbruglia
My version - "I'm all out of FACE, this is how I feel, I'm cold and I'm ashamed, lying naked on the floor..."
Real lyrics - "I'm all out of FAITH, this is how I feel...."

Paula Abdul
My version - "I just have to say--ay- ay ay ay ay, apababababa apabababababa."
Real lyrics - "I just have to say--ay- ay ay ay ay, a bye bye bye bye, bye bye bye bye bye bye."

There's lots of others...ask my friends...damnit...

PS- I don't remember the titles of those songs, but I think you can figure it out.

I am an open eye...

For only getting about 5 hours of sleep last night, I am surprisingly full of energy. Maybe it's cuz I ran at like 11PM and the blood is still pumping but I feel okay. Usually, even if I DO get a lot of rest I'm pretty tired, even after my famous lunch naps(that sounds like a type of food, he he he, like a lunch wrap or something.).

Do you like Pina Coladas?
Have you ever listened to that song Pina Colada? I think it's by Simon and Garfunkel, but I'm not sure if someone else did it before them. Anyway, the song is pretty messed up. It's about a guy who considers cheating on his girl/wife/whatever because the relationship has stagnated. So he puts in an ad for someone who "...likes Pina Coladas...," and all this stuff. Well time passes and he gets a reply and decides to meet up with this person. When they meet up at the bar, he finds that it's his girl! So in the song, it's a happy ending, cuz they didn't know that the other, "...liked Pina Coladas..." and all that, but they both seem to forget that they just tried to cheat on each other! What a sad sad world they live in where that's okay, he he he. But it's just funny cuz the song is totally wrong, but I like it still...not for the lyrics per se, but it's just a cool song. And I know there's like a hundred songs that we all like but the lyrics are whack(example, Good Charlotte's "Bloody Valentine"), I just wrote about this one cuz I just heard it from my playlist here at work.

And the magic number is...
I finally remembered to calculate my gas mileage for my car. And the total comes to a whopping 32.8 miles per gallon! I had recently been seriously contemplating about purchasing a new vehicle. And because I spend so much time in my car, I thought to myself, "I might as well be comfortable," and stuff like that. But when I went to the gas station yesterday, a full tank cost me about $22, whereas for a lot of my friends, it costs well above the $30 mark. And so I thought I might like to save myself some money for the time being(not like I'm any good at really saving it, but at least I won't be spending so much) and wait til this whole gas price fiasco comes to a standstill, or maybe even get a hybrid or something when I save enough.

...20 minutes later...
Of course when I talk about how I had all this energy, it totally gets zapped. I totally was falling asleep at my desk just now....grrrrrreeeat. Gotta fight, don't want to have to get coffee...must..fight...

"Let all the world rejoice in music, dancing, and laughter."

It is hot outside today. 85 degrees...when I tell the - - - - - please..., he he he, but seriously, that's how hot it was when I pulled into my parking lot this morning at 8:55. Goodness...that's like 20 degrees hotter than the average. I hate when that happens...cuz my body's not really "prepared" yet for that type of weather. It still expects like 60-70 degree weather but now, it's 85 and will probably increase to about 90 by noon, and since my body is EXPECTING lower degree weather, it'll feell like 110, he he he. I hate hot weather. I mean, I love sun and stuff(just look at the tone of my skin and you'll know how much I like being outside), but I hate the heat. Thank goodness there's the beach and swimming pools and stuff...

Cic and I did my taxes this weekend. I know, how exciting, huh? Anyway, well we finished them and I got a nice little return. I forgot to bring them in here today so I can't mail them til tomorrow. But anyway, it wasn't as difficult as I thought it was, but it WAS tedious. And that's just filling out the 1040A, which is not that complicated, considering I dont' have the type of deductions and itemizations that people like mom & pop and jos & b have. I can totally see why peopel would just pay someone else to do it. Shoot, I was trying to offer Cic money to finish them for me, but she wouldn't have any of that...

It was a productive yet relaxing weekend. I didn't really go out out til yesterday when I went to one of my god daughter's b-days and then to a wedding shower later that night, followed by bible study. It was a very nice and relaxing weekend though, went shopping at target, watched some dvd's, ran errands, and ran...finally. My goal is to run at least 3 times a week and ideally 4. With the basketball days, I think that should be good exercise and training and I'll try to squeeze in the weight lifting slowly as my shoulder is still on the mend. Feels good to start the routine, now the problem is maintaining it. I still have to study like a madman for that exam in April...I've wasted far too much money in the past to be so unprepared, and I don't plan on making that same mistake again. I've been studying most weekdays and will do full study sessions on weekends for the next few weeks. That's probably my number one priority right now and takes precedence over my running stuff, though the running would only consume about 30 min to an hour but still, if I have to study, then that comes first.

I am the yellow happy face...

I love Fridays, there are so many things to look forward to. Casual day at work. Breakfast is gonna be brought in, and most of all, the weekend has arrived. No work for the next 2 days(unless I come in on Sunday), woohoo. I jsut came back from a test drive and everyone seems to have left early. Just gotta finish my summary and turn in my report and I can be gone too! Woohoo!

Things to talk about monday...
Language Barriers
We be clubbin
Exercise & Diet

I'm out...

I am a scratchy throat...

Hell yeah, the Lakers won last night, and in good fashion too. Feels good to see your team comin together at the perfect time...playoff time.

I started setting up my wireless router last night and only got as far as connecting my desktop to the router. I got a little overwhelmed with setting up the firewall and encryption and MAC address stuff, but I talked to boboy earlier today and he said it's not too hard. I probably was just too lazy to do it last night.

Speaking of my slothy attitude as of late, I seriously need to get more productive after work. I keep saying that I'm going to go running but I never get around to doing it. Well I think I have time to do it tonight, before "The Apprentice" starts, he he he. I can also finally test my pedometer and see if that sucker works.

I've also needed to put in much more study time for my exam, I had a few good hours last night, but I need a whole lot more. I'm trying to put in about 2-3 horus a day and more on the weekends, pending any trips or weddings and such. It's crunch time baby, gotta be like the Lakes and get focused.

I don't know what it is with me and dates at work, but I can't seem to get them right at all. I'm always thinking it's either a day ahead or a day behind. One time, I swear I was a few weeks off...I don't know why it's so hard for me to keep track.

Sittin at my desk, listening to Alan Jackson's "Five O'clock Somewhere," going through my days' work..pretty nice I'd have to say. One of those days I don't mind sitting at my desk cuz I have something to do and some good music to listen to.

Oh well...what a boring entry...mindless blurps...excuse me.

the mid-mid-life
Lately, a bunch of my friends have been e-mailing each other about "the quarter-life crisis," and what's crazy about it is that almost all of us are either going through it or have already gone through it. And I think if one hasn't experienced any of the previously mentioned, then they are going to experience it soon enough. I mean I don't think the book really offerred a mapped out solution(because there really isn't one global solution) as much as it did offer so many perspectives as to how each person handled their own personal crises with which one can hopefully identify. I even briefly chatted about it last night and came to a few conclusions: first off, we have been given the opportunity to find something we actually LIKE and in some special cases, LOVE to do. Most of our folks didn't have the luxury..they simply went at what would get them the "presidents" so that they could provide for the family. They didn't necessarily enjoy what they did, but they made the best of it and things turned out okay. Secondly, not only do we have the opportunity to find what it is we are passionate about and go do it, we have opportunity to have more than one opportunity. Yes, there are a plethora of things to choose from, and maybe that's where part of the crisis lies...it's almost an overload of stimuli for our brain, so many pathways are there we overload and get totally stressed about it. Makes me realize how much stronger our parents are. They had to make decisions that stuck with them for a major part of their lives, even if they didn't necessarily want to do it, and they stuck it through, WITH all the doses of ups and downs that come so steadily in life, WITH children and all the joys and not-so-much that accompanies them...it's absolutely amazing. And here we are complaining about how we don't know what to do with our lives and how working sucks and dadadadadada. I almost feel ashamed about my complaints sometimes. I mean, I'm not knocking on people that do complain about this kinda stuff, because that are legit and merit complaints sometimes. But maybe they worked that hard so as to provide us with these opportunities that they didn't have. And it's our chance to take full advantage of them. So I would just say to those who are going through this phase of life to just look at the bigger picture, to appreciate what they have and always give their all, so that in the end, things will have worked out the way they were supposed to...

The day is going by slow today...I've been waiting for one of the new guys to finish a task I assigned to him for several hours now, so I get to sit around and watch the clock tick ever-so turtle-like. I hate that, he he he.

Lesson of the day
London sat with me while I ate my breakfast and says, "Silly Uncle Jay, you forgot to say your prayer." She then proceeds to lead me in a prayer...man, that little girl amazes me.

btw, for pics of the cruise, see Joemama's blog...e-mail me or him for the password...

"Que Sera sera, whatever will be will be, the future's not ours to see, que sera sera..."

I am a boomerang back in the hand...

So we got back from the cruise yesterday, ate...again(as if we didn't eat enough on the cruise) and went to Boboy's to finish uploading everyone's pics and to watch some Dave Chapelle show and just nap. I also played ball last night as usual and I was freakin gassed. I am so damn tired today now...I totally took a nap for lunch and I'm still freakin tired. Man. I think I'ma have to get me some coffee....It's good to be back on solid, unmoving ground though.

The Trip
The cruise was a blast. I don't think I've eaten as much as I did over those four days. It's a glutton's paradise on water man, I swear. At dinner, you can order multiple entrees. Same goes for dessert and for appetizers. It's just the drinks. And you have to put a c.c. on your ID card in order to get anything, which is kinda scary cuz you don't know how much you've spent the entire weekend until you get the bill the morning of departure. I had a lot fun...so many random things happened, Cile wanting to play ninja and totally eating it in the round bar, people kinda getting sick, people getting sick, rock climbing, dancing, drinking, eating, drinking, eating, laughs, jokes, all that with good friends...it's impossible to not have a good time with all that. I've never been on a cruise before, and I definitely enjoyed it and wanna go on cruises in the future, even with the strong possiblity I will still get sea sick. The only sucky part is that they had to have a damn casino over there. And we all know my affinity towards casinos. Dangit....oh well. Like I said, it was still a lot of funn. I still need to upload the almost 900 pics from the trip, and that's still missing a few people's pictures...talk about paparazzi...sheesh.

Sometimes I wonder why some people are more appreciative of what they have around them than others. Is it their upbringing? Their personal experiences? What? Because even some of the most experienced people still take many things for granted. On the same token, some people who have had great upbringings also seem to gaze past what is right in front of their eyes and just find things to always complain about. I don't think we roll with the punches as well as we think we do. Of course, it's the types of experiences, and of course, some have it worse than others, but still, why is it so hard for us to see and be happy with the blessings we have. It's our selfish nature...it's always about us, the attention we need, and the good things we deserve...I mean, how vain is that? Well, I for one, believe that it's not up to us to decide what we deserve...it's up to someone else, and to me, that someone else is God. To other people, it may be a different someone else, but even so, it's no excuse to be so resentful of what we don't have. It's about knowing what you DO have and make do with it. Such is my frustration...

"Open your eyes, it's not about what you didn't get in life, it's about what was given to you."

I am a stomach full of wing-ed things...

Ensinada time baby!
Oh man, I'm starting to get excited...woohoo! T minus a few hours til I set sail... I'm nervous too, because I don't know yet if I'll get sea sick or not, but I guess I'll just have to roll w/ that punch...Anyway, this will be my first cruise..and the days off of work will be a nice lil break...anyway, I made a checklist of stuff I needed to bring:

Clothes (pants, shorts, shirts, sweaters)
Shoes (ballin shoes, regular shoes, dress shoes)
Suit
Toiletries
Towel(I don't know if you need one though)
Camera(Cic won't be there to be historian)
Sea-Bands(for motion/sea sickness)
Books(I really don't think I'll read, but...)
Sunglasses

I brought all of it, yet as usual, I bet I will find myself underpacked. I hate when I do that. I think about OVER-packing too much and take out so much of that stuff, it results in being UNDER-packed. I guess more is better, right? Oh well, we'll see...it's too late to go home and add more stuff now.

To all you keeping your feet on land, have a great weekend. I'll miss you all!

"I once heard a man complain so much about his situation the things he could be thankful about passed him by..."

I am a combination of yesterday's and today's blog...

I'll try not to confuse...

Instead of my usual lunch/nap sessions as of late, I decided to change things up a bit and have a lunch/study/walk session. It was a beautiful day outside, nice and sunny and to make things better, breezy. I ate while I studied for about 50 min and then took a lil stroll around my industrial block. Hmmm, I wonder how far it is, maybe I'll drive around the block...wait, oh yeah, I totally forgot that I had a pedometer. Time to put that sucker to use finally. (I did it again today, he he he)

Today
I hate careless mistakes, whether they're mine or someone elses. More when they're mine, but I rarely make them because I know what it feels like when someone stumbles into a roadblock because of MY careless mistake. So I try to avoid that situation as much as I can by being meticulous about my work. Okay, now if it were a mistake that anyone could have made doing the same thing, then that would be okay. But when a small mistake comes from not going over your work and causing someone else to be totally mislead, then that's just BS. Seriously...it's annoying. 2 little typos today made me waste 45 minutes of my time today when my freakin deadline is 5 o'clock and I'm already gonna cut it really close. I really wish everyone's name was on this so I could at least point it out to them so that they might be a little more careful next time. Half-ass work man, this is really not the place for it.

On the brighter side, I'm just chuggin along here, listening to my pharcyde CD and workin. It's been pretty productive so far, except for the lil waste of time mishap. But I'm actually delegating responsibility to other people and it feels pretty good. Now it's about 5:22 and I'm a little late, but I talked to my supervisor already and he said it'd be okay. He knows the issues I've been dealing with all day.

Songs/Music I need to get(I did this yesterday):
Are the Cranberries Irish? Cuz all day on star today they were playing the Cranberries. Maybe it was just a coincidence. Anyway, it got me thinking to music I should get.

New Music:
Heaven - I heard it on Star today
This Love - Vegas song
Kanye West - V dog let me hear some of his stuff, he's pretty tight
Norah Jones - Cuz it's norah

Old Music
U2 stuff
Cranberries

"Lord, I don't know why I'm carrying this burden, but I trust in your will."

I am a sore shin...

muah ha ha ha continued
Dude, I totally forgot to finish that blurp about ruling the world, ha ha ha, I didn't notice until I saw Cic's comment, thanks bebs! Anyway, here's the rest...
...having the same water bottle that I use on my desk. Now I just gotta get the whole office to start using them. And then supply them with water that is actually a mind-control substance. And then...I can brainwash them and take over the world! MUAH HA HA HA HA. Just kidding, but I have started a trend, he he he, pretty cool.

Played ball again last night. no injuries sustained. Buddy taped the pinky to my ring finger so it was okay. Only 11 people showed up to play this time, so I played every game last night. Man, I'm out of shape. I really need to start running soon, esp if I'm gonna run in the LA Marathon. Ver weighs like only 166 now he told us last night. Man, I'm pushin close to 160...REALLY gotta start gettin into a regular workout schedule. Might be damn hard to start this week, considerin I'm goin on a cruise this weekend. Dangit, the excuses never end, he he he. Maybe I'll just walk the marathon...

"Why don't you just give me a papercut and pour a little lemon juice on it?"

I am a red, red eye...

Muah ha ha ha
My quest to rule the world has now begun, he he he. I have officially started a trend here at work. I totally forgot to blog about this last week. Well, the first implementation has been made in making the world become me. A few days ago at work, I had confirmed the 3rd person here at work

Thomesthingz wrong with my thongue
We went to vegas with JAC this weekend. It was a lot of fun. Really really tiring, but a lot of fun. I won't go into details, I'm too lazy, but lots of laughs and fun time as usual. I'll just look up cic's blog But I think I may have eaten something I might be a little allergic to this weekend or something. Becuase the sides of my tongue are kinda rubbing my teeth and it's all sore, cuz the insides of my molars are kinda sharp. I don't think it would normally be like that if my tongue didn't swell up or something. I wonder what it is I ate that made me have this reaction. Hopefully it goes away soon.

I have several things I would like to do in the next month or so, when I get some free time. So I have created another To do list
-Sow a button on my cords
-clean up mom & pop's car
-finish restoring jos' car
-clean room

There's more but I can't think of them right now.

Look at the following two definitions.

bi·week·ly (adj.)
1. Happening every two weeks.
2. Happening twice a week; semiweekly.

bi·an·nu·al (adj.)
1. Happening twice each year; semiannual.
2. Occurring every two years; biennial.

My friends and I often have this debate on what the "bi" in these two words means. And there it is, they have BOTH definitions. I guess both parties are right in thinking they are right, because they ARE right. Sheesh. Talk about confusing. It's like the saying, "Wherever you go, there you are..." Our language is a bunch of crap, he he he.

...my finger is still all discolored, blech...I'll go see a doctor if it's still like this next week.

"Truth. What is truth? What you know to be right from what is given to you? Or what you feel? It is neither. Truth, simply stated, is a blending of the two into a melodious harmony."

I am a crooked appendage...

prone-osity
I can't catch a freakin break, man. After being cleared by my doctor to be able to some regular activity, at an easy pace and even some light lifting, I go and get injured again. My finger got dislocated last night while playing ball. And it had to be that same finger that got messed up when I was in high school. It hurt pretty bad, but looking at it was worse, and putting it back in place was THE worst. I looked down at my hand and it was totally bent outwards at like a 45 degree angle. Needless to say, it was disgusting. But then, grabbing it and placing it back, I think it's called "setting?" that was the worst. THE worst, I'm not kidding either. But now, here I am at work, with a purple fat finger. And it hurts when I have to reach with the pinky while typing. I swear, I'm always hurt, one way or another...(knock on wood, please!) I wonder why some people are more accident prone than others. I mean, it's not like I'm less careful, because most of my injuries have stemmed from collisions in sports or whatever. Am I just in the wrong place at the wrong time? sucks...

under...wear
You know, I used to not wear an undershirt all the time with my clothes. And it wasn't until I got to Irvine and my fabulous roommates introduced me to the concept of wifebeaters and then cic started me on wearing the short-sleeved undershirts under dress shirts. One of my coworkers was stretching his arms up today at my desk and his shirt lifted and I saw his hairy belly, BLECH! Now, it's so weird to me when I know that someone isn't wearing an undershirt. Even when I wear T-shirts, I have to wear something underneath. Funny how your mindset can change like that.


I took that quiz that cic posted...here are my results...
1. You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and
free.

2. In the process of courtship, the approach that would make you
feel irresistable is straight-forward, just tell you he/she
loves you.

3. The impression you would like to give to your lover is loyal,
faithful, never change.

4. You don't like it when your partner is emotional and/or too
moody; and you don't know how to please him/her.

5. The kind of relationship you would like to build with your
partner is that both of you can talk about everything and
anything, no secret is kept.

6. You care about the society and morality, you won't do anything
wrong after marriage.

7. You think of marriage as a precious thing. Once you get married,
you'll treasure it and your partner very much.

8. At this moment, you think of love as a committment for both parties.

I am a sponge in the sun...

It's gettin hot in here...
Yo, so what's up with the weather? It's crazy hot out there. 20 degrees hotter than the average. And yes, it's beautiful outside because of this weather, but I'm not ready for it yet. I can still take nice long walks when it's cool and cloudy, and even rainy. Krikey, I hate when heat sneaks up on you like that.

weekend affairs
It was a pretty good weekend, more or less. Friday, played poker with some of the coworkers, and got bested by a rookie who just caught the river card seemingly almost everyhand. You know the river's workin for you when you can best a full house ten w/ jacks by catchin a jack on the river. Damn. Oh well, it was a good learning experience. It cost me, but I learned what it was like to play with people who aren't my friends and who aren't really messin around. I'm getting addicted to poker...he he he, no not that bad though. I just wanted some more exposure to playing with people because I'm playing in this tournament in April. Looks to be a lot of fun. I met some people at my coworkers that are gonna be at the tournament. Pretty cool.

Sat, worked on some small restoration stuff for the sister's car. Her car was an absolute mess, she was pretty impressed to see what I did when she dropped by. I rewired her alarm system and her radio, and cleaned the interior of the car. I didn't get the chance to order new sunvisors, but the restoration has definitely begun. Went to Costco with the sis, chris, cic, and the bubs later on. That was an adventure, felt so old, he he he. We also celebrated V's b-day again. We ate at this french restaurant in Culver City, L'Hermitage. It was pretty nice, everyone there spoke french, which got V pretty riled up(He loves to be french with people). I even got to say a few words, like "thank you, more bread please," and other little things, he he he. But as we were sitting there on the patio for dinner I thought to myself, man, this is the place where I pretty much grew up. I remember a few weeks back, I met mom at the bank while I was getting my car serviced and just ventured around walking. I got coffee at the starbucks nearby and everyone just seemed to know each other there. It's kinda like V's hood in Pasadena. I enjoy going out there to visit him cuz we walk around to places and do all that stuff I just described. I'd totally like to live in a place where you can walk to get some coffee or something to eat, or a movie, or something. Gives you that "villagy" type of atmosphere. I'd really like to settle down in an area like that, financially permitting of course. Too bad houses in Culver City are more than half a mil. Man, if I could have my own genie....

Anyway, afterwards, we went to the Muse, this bar that the boys and me have frequented over the past year or 2. It was lot of fun, after loungin about and catching up with old friends, we karaoke'd for a few hours, and one of V's blues-singin coworkers tore it up. It was fun though, everyone was singing. I remember going to karaoke bars before and people not really wanting to sing and being all embarassed. I was thinking maybe the next time we go to vegas, we can find one after we get drunk, that'll be hella fun.he he he. Got home at around 4 that night, and it sure was a long one at that.

The passion
Last night, our bible study group went to go watch The Passion of the Christ. Needless to say that movie was extremely powerful...in my opinion it was, at least. A lot of the people in the theater were crying, myself included. It was just really really difficult to actually see what Jesus went through when he sacrificed himself for us. During most of the film, I kept thinking to myself, my God, I can't believe he went through all of this. I think a lot of people really overlook at the incredible ordeal he had to go through. I recommend people to go watch it. For those who aren't christian, it's a learning tool that helps one to see exactly what christians are all about, and for christians, it really reminds you, and reminds you vividly, what our Christ endured for our salvation.

"To infinity, and beyond!"

If there's any type of people that piss me off in this world, it's flakers and shortchangers. Flakes, mind you, are different from people who cannot make it to some event or whatever, but say they're gonna go and consistently bail out at the last second. Always some excuse...then dont' say you're going, beyocht! Sheesh, those people develop a reputation such that one cannot count on them to show up or be there. Kinda sucks...especially if the flaker is a "friend." So yeah, flakes are irritating as hell, but the shortchanger takes the cake. I can't believe there are people who always leave out things like tax and tip on bills. Even worse, at times they try to pretend like they didn't order something. And the topper, they just sneak away. People like this should really be called out sometimes, especially when they develop a habit for it. I mean, yeah, it's probably inappropriate to do that at say, a b-day party or something, but it's not fair to the other people who have to constantly cover for the gap in the bill. I'm just pissed, cuz I always seem to see people shortchanging, and of course, my friends and sometimes me, have to cover, and it really sucks. It sucks because it just makes me more and more mistrustful. They partly lose my trust in them, because this is a pretty dishonest thing to do. And I really hate to think that I trust people more than they should be trusted... Damn freakin short-changers man...damn them. I'm so irritated, and I have so much more I want to say, but it's freakin 3:41 AM and I've been awake for almost 24 hours...

I am pocket aces...

The Apprentice
I loved last night's show of The Apprentice. I have never been attached to any of the reality tv shows like survivor, american idol, or even real world. I've watched 1 or 2 episodes here and there, but I never really got hooked. But Apprentice? I am definitely hooked. And last night before I fell asleep, I was trying to think about why I love that show so much. I think I've come up with something. It's work-related, and it shows just how dysfunctional or how great a group of people on a team can be. It shows how people react to different personality types and how to adjust or just move on for the good of the group. Pretty much, how to work as a team, and trying to reach a certain goal(which in most cases is to beat the other team). Then afterward, the PM gets to assess his/her team's job and then select the people that just did not cut it for the job. Then, at the end, Donald gets to say, "You're Fired!!!" I love that part. he he he, it's probably the inner worker in me identifying with Donald and the PM's, he he he, cuz I wanna be the one to say, hey man, "Be a team player, or else..." I guess I have so many gripes at work, it's my release. At least one of THOSE people I don't like very much gets fired each week. Only if life were so simple, he he he.

Weekend, here I come!

"The heart of every matter is always...the heart."

So I wasn't feeling too well yesterday and called in sick. No, not "sick," but sick. I literally could not get out of bed yesterday morning. I had a monster headache and was just exhausted. My ridiculously insane weekend finally caught up with me, I guess. Pretty much stayed home the entire day in my pj's. Did a little laundry and was able to clean my room a little. The sleep though, man, that was worth a million bucks. I slept for 12 hours and I felt so rested.But tis a new day at work, and I still feel the headache a little. It's nice to get a day off like that once in a while, cuz weekends usually there's something planned, so I don't get to totally just chill and pretty much do nothing but hide in my room, he he he. Here's to future sick days!

Speaking of sick days, we had a meeting today and they gave out 2 perfect attendance awards; one for one year, and the other, three. One of my coworkers leans over and says, "What does perfect attendance mean?" And I told her, no sick days. And then we started laughing cuz we were like dude, that's 6 days a year they give up, what a bunch of dumbasses, ha ha ha. But seriously, even if I never got sick, I would still take full advantage of my sick days.

You know what's funny about little kids? They become more and more of a terror with the more they are able to speak. Because now, I get to wake up with London singing all the words to her Winnie the Pooh video every morning, at the top of her lungs. Running around, dancing and hopping...it's just SOOOOOOOOO pleasant.... She has her good side though, yesterday when I was asleep, she came in and asked what was wrong, and I just told her I was sick and I was tired, and she goes, "I'll let you go back to sleep then," and closed the door and played quietly in the livingroom. These kids man, hot and cold, I swear...

I totally forgot to vote yesterday being sick and all. Man, I was all ready too. Damn...I hate when that happens. I wonder how many of my friends actually cared enough to vote yesterday.

I am another lap...

What a long weekend...
It's been a while since I've had a long weekend such as this one just past...probably a total of 3 hours sleep before I got back last night and slept from sometime a little past 12:30 to 8:15 or something this morning... But I was so tired before that. I remember the all-niters and SPOP weekends back when we were in school. Looking back on those days, I can't believe we used to do it all the time. That kind of stuff must be so unhealthy. When talking about health, we're always so concerned on diet and exercise, but a lot of people don't mention sleep. Sleep is so important, that's when our body replenishes and fixes itself...I need some more of that.

Needless to say, I am freakin tired right now...I guess I'll just blog about all the other things I wanted to mention later.
