I was asked if I’m going “green”. If I conserve energy and as I replied “Why yes, yes I do. I pee in the dark.” I think it was the only time I hear an environmentalist tell me to turn on a light.
I’m feeling a good buzz, so if my thoughts are scattered,it’s justified.
We went to see the new Alien vs Predator flick. To say that it sucked would be a compliment to the movie. The story line developed waaaaaaay to quickly, ugh. I won’t even go on any further. It’s no use. I was told it had 3 out of 4 stars …. BAH! LIES! Horrible … don’t waste your money.
Ok, so now that I’m still ticked off, I figured I’d post this video of the thief stealing my laptop. If he’s reading this, he might as well stole my girlfriend ….. bastard. You can see him go to pretty much every floor, turn around on floor 3(the jewlers) and then of course he goes to the 8th floor, then he gets on the elevator with something under his jacket. Hmmmm …. *cries* I miss you baby!
*EDIT*To say that I’m livid would be an understatement. If it’s not yours, don’t TOUCH IT! /sigh. I just don’t get some people. I’m just so mad … when you look at some of the video he looks a little ansy, hmmmm, not sure why? Anyways, what if he was just being a theif to feed his family? Not justifiable, but its the only way I can look at the situation to diffuse it. Man …. grrrr …. Seriously, my life is like a soap opera. Now if only I can get the beautiful smart actress to let me take her on a date. That’d be sweet….. but damn, that’d be impossible and improbable. Just like how I thought that my laptop would be stolen right?
“Side mis mayones gustos mi
dugustos han nacido,
Gustos al cielo le pido,
A unque me westen disgustos”

“If major happiness from my
unhappiness has been born
I ask heaven for happiness
Even if it costs me unhappiness.”
“I’ll take the good and deal with the bad”.
We learned this at my spanish class, and the first was a rough paragraph taken from my notes. The second is translated into English, and the third was how it was described to me. We used childbirth as an example, given the term “born” was used. Childbirth would cause great happiness, but would be unhappy during the actual pregnancy. Of course, I found my own similarities to other aspects of my life. I think that’s why this poem hit me with such enthusiasm like it did. Speaking of enthusiasm, I have NO IDEA how I came across this, but I did … and it really impressed me. This guy seems like a great teacher, one that I wished I had when I was a kid. I think I spent all of this past weekend watching all of his VLOGS. Good Guy.
It was really good for me to learn this poem at Spanish class, and it was really good to see decent human beings. Not just the gentleman described above, but just some people in general. Very honest, open genuine people.
Of course I think with every ying, there is a yang. For every heaven there is a hell and for every positive there is a negative.
So my laptop was stolen at work the other day … It’s a long story, but I figured I’d post it. Hopefully I don’t get into any sort of legal trouble. I don’t want any run ins with the law.
A few days before christmas my boss sent his laptop in to the apple store to get his computer fixed. The logic board broke on it, and given it was the holidays, they had to ship the part to the genius bar and that would have taken a few weeks. I preface this story with that, because while his laptop was gone, instead of buying a new laptop I just let him borrow mine. Of course, this gave me enough time to setup my desktop in my living room and hook it up to my tv so it wasn’t all that bad. So, boss had my laptop.
We were in a different room, we hear our door click and because we do not have a line of site, and come to find out, somebody snuck into the office WHILE WE WERE THERE, and *POOF* gone. The strange thing was all the equipment that was on the desk that was not stolen. An ipod that was still in the case, a phone ect …
It was certainly a planned job. I think. I also think they stole the laptop for identity theft purposes.
/ugh. Luckily for me(and I’m being selfish, I know I’m going to hell for this), it was my bosses hard drive. I just feel bad … although I think I’m the only one who thinks it was taken for that reason! I dunno … police report it ect …
So now it’s down to my decision as to what laptop I’ll be buying. The insurance money will only cover a portion of a new laptop so I have some decisions to make.
Do I take the plunge and go for a macbook pro? Or a new dell? Leave me some comments folks … I need some emotional/mental support!
It was all too fitting, that as I sit here before you on the verge of midnight, my all-time favorite scrubs episode was on. I suppose in the long run, it wasn’t such a bad day although it’s one I’d rather forget, sooner rather than later.
My Laptop got stolen! It’s a long story … one that I’d rather not get into right now but the fact that it’s gone, well, it sucks. It was really my first “big” purchase. I know that I’d have to give it up at some point but not anything like this …
::sigh::
Oh well. What can you do? Thankfully they just took the stupid laptop and there was no altercation that ensued. Taken right from under our noses ….
Sometimes I feel like my life and my life’s book was stolen and re-written as a soap opera without my prior consent.
There are quite a few words in the English language that are truly beautiful. Love. Compassion. Forgiveness. Friendship. Freedom. Trust. Of course, on the contrary, there are plenty of words that are quite the opposite. War. Hate. Lies. Murder. Obesity. Depression. Solitude. Work.
The last few months I’ve had alot of “me”(read:solitude) time. I’m not sure if that’s by design, but I digress. Tonight was different in that I needed good quality mindless me time. So much of my time is sitting and thinking, wandering and worrying about nonsense issues. My mindless time tonight for myself was in the form of a Nuggets game. 10$ Nachos, 7$ beer and hot wings afterwards. I’m not sure anything could get as mindless as that. It was a good 2 hours of relaxation time, mindless, zombification me time. However, as soon as the game finished, the nicotine of my stogy and the alcohol from my beers wore off, and as I waited for my train to arrive, the switch in my mind was flipped and my mind started whirring, wandering. Up to no good as usual …
Words. Lots of words. Egotistical. Selfish. Conceded. Brutal. Ignorant. Stubborn. Chauvinistic. Smart. Caring. Giving. Loveable. Likeable. I’m sure the list, had I went on would be another Ten thousand pages. Words that have been used to describe me in some form or fashion.
My train arrived, and as got to my feet I could feel the ground beneath me rumble. Such power, such ferociousness. If for whatever reason I, or anybody for that matter, would have stepped in front of this train, or accidentally fell in it’s path, it would have shown it’s true power and ferociousness against me. Chances are pretty good that I wouldn’t be typing here before you now …
That was scary. It was scary not in the fact of death, but what I would be remembered as. I think it’s safe to say that my idea of my life, and my world around me is ever changing. It wouldn’t be fair for anybody to be limited to just one paragraph, one sentence, let alone one word. However unfair being alloted one word may be, sometimes it’s the harsh reality, however unfair being alloted one word may be, it’s life, and we all know life isn’t fair.
Motivated.
If I were to die in my sleep tonight, or hit by the train earlier today, todays word to describe me would not to be loveable or likeable, caring or outgoing, friendly or polite. For me, it’d be motivated. Whether that would mean motivated to obtain likeable or loveable status, or perhaps motivated in different areas in my life.

I figured with the Iowa Caucuses over with, I’d chime in my opinion of it all. I had a couple of serious issues to overcome, problems that I needed to be solved. Before the post-caucus speeches and finally tallies chimed in, I figured out how to watch the Orange Bowl and watch the Iowa Caucus at the same time.
Thank goodness for Picture in Picture.
Something about politics excites me, especially now that I’m older and dare I say wiser. I think it excites me now more than ever because now more than ever I see the adverse effects it has on me. Whether it be the the $40,000,000,000 in revenue the oil and gas companies make while I pay 3$ for each gallon at the pump, the removal of “God We Trust” from every public location, the removal of a Christmas tree because it has the word “Christ” in it or Merry Christmas being converted to Happy Holidays, another friend being shipped to Iraq to help in a civil war while his fathers job is being shipped overseas because it’s cheaper. I get easily excited when thinking about the benevolance Americans show to Africa with AIDS or world peace and yet I see the free hospital down the road jam packed so full of people begging for help, or the illegal immigrants who children are able to obtain legal citizenship because they were born here, educated here, and yet not paying taxes that would be otherwise used in our public school systems. Perhaps it’s the lack of federal funding for disease research, cancer research and stem cell research to save hundreds of thousands of lives every year that gets me excited.
“If a man hasn’t found something worth dieing for, he isn’t fit to live.”~Martin Luther King Jr.
Perhaps excited isn’t the correct word or phrase to be using here. Perhaps what I really mean is downright utterly disgusted by, heart pumping and blood boiling excited about politics.
I don’t know … maybe I’m just another self-involved, selfish, conceded, stuck up, rotten overzealous American.
I prefer the term “Hopeful”, but if you feel the need to use the former, feel free to do so.
Whether or not you care about politics, one thing is for certain. 01/03/08 will be forever remembered the eyes of Americans. I’m sure if MLK were to be looking down on us now, which I’m sure he is, he’d be smiling. His smiles would quickly turn to childish anger as so many angels would be pinching him, as an indication that he is no longer dreaming. That his dream has turned to reality, if even for a day.
I’m no fool, nor is MLK, so I’m sure if he were here today he would proclaim that his statements and quotes of peace and unity go far beyond black and white with the color of our skin, red and blue with the color of our states, gay or straight with or sexual orientation, male or female, religious or not. I’m sure he would continue to preach …
Why?
Because we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.
An African American won the Democratic Iowa Caucus.
Amazing.
“We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope.”~ Martin Luther King Jr.
Hope. Unification. Change. Character. Some of the things I see in Obama. Some of the things that I have really come to appreciate in Obama. Know that I don’t vote for a president, I vote for America. For you, for me, your kids, your grandkids. What I feel is best …
There are some that would disagree with me, but that’s ok, and to be perfectly honest, It’s a beautiful thing that we are in a country that we are able to disagree, and after our debate to grab a beer. My feeling is, to have an opinion, even if it’s wrong in my eyes, is better than not having an opinion at all.
So again, know that I don’t vote for Obama. I don’t vote democratically. I vote for hope, the hope that we as Americans get back on the right track, for where we are heading currently, I feel, isn’t to greener pastures
