Snow and Hysteria

This snow thing is getting out of hand! We keep getting hit with more and more and now we are under a blizzard warning and supposed to get 20 -30 inches of snow. Are they serious? Not to mention, the people at the grocery store have lost their everlasting minds. I went there yesterday and the bread aisle was completely bare. All of the chicken breast was gone as well as eggs and milk. The funny part was that people had cleaned out the shampoo shelf. Yes I said shampoo. What the hell is shampoo going to do for you when you’re starving? You can’t eat it but I guess your hair will be clean. WTF?! People act like it’s Armageddon and the world is ending when snow is in the forecast. It’s only for a weekend people….. This is ridiculous.

And speaking of ridiculous, why is there always a shortage of snow shovels every time it snows? It’s not like their disposable and one time use. If you have one one year then it’s good the next but they are always in short supply each year. What is up with that?

Corduroy is Evil

So today I realized that me and corduroy are a big no-no. I’m walking down the hall to go to my office and I hear a sound that resembles a yipping puppy. After stopping in my tracks and looking around, I hear that the sound is gone. As I continued walking, to my dismay I realized the yipping sound was me.  Apparently my thighs rubbing together against the fabric caused the high pitched yelping.

So now my fat ass is purposely making sure to gap my legs open a little as I walk and taking shorter, slower strides to avoid the dreaded sound. Now I look like I have a stick up my ass or I’m constipated but at least the sound is gone.  Needless to say, I spent the bulk of my day in the office and not roaming the quiet hallways… Sux.

Black History Month

So as I’m scrolling through my usual forums I come across a comment that a Caucasian person wrote saying “I’ll be glad when this month is over. ” Wow! For real? Say how you really feel. It’s not the fact that the person said it, it was the fact that a lot of people agreed with them.  Why get upset because one month is deemed Black History Month? Get over it! It’s cliche to say, but every month is White History Month but people don’t like to admit it. The purpose of the establishment of Black History Month was to communicate the accomplishments of an ethnic/racial group to a broader audience who were unaware of those accomplishments. The issue here is has the original purpose been met? If so, it is time to ensure that the information is truly available to all and move on to something else.

Only when we reach the point of regarding ALL people as being of equal worth, no matter what their ethnicity, race, gender, sexual orientation, or any of the other qualifying descriptors that we use for people, will we eliminate the need for any “months” at all; every day would be a celebration of the excellence of our fellow human beings. Until then, celebrate  on…..

I will be using this month to post freely about my thoughts on many racial topics. Stay tuned.

More Life Updates

So just a few life updates:

- My betta, that I’ve had for over a year, died on Friday. The messed up thing about it is I think I killed him. I saw his fin looking a little messed up so I decided to put some Betta Fix in his tank. The minute I did that he started swimming around his bowl quickly with his head above water like a motorboat. He was swimming fine before that but after the treatment he began to stay on the gravel, leaning to the side like he couldn’t keep his tail end down. He of course stopped eating and died two weeks later. RIP Larry.

- Then I had a weird incident where I was at an appointment and my husband was home. He called me on my cell because a guy showed up at the door asking for me and when my husband asked for his name he replied, “Just a friend.” Wow….  I don’t hang out with dudes like that, nor  let anyone know where I live at so this isn’t good. I’ve been stalked before but that’s a whole different story. The only thing I can conclude is it’s a process server or someone like that. Life just gets better and better.

Toddlers and Tiaras

Who in the hell watches this crap!! This ish comes on TLC and to me, pageant shows for little girls is just downright creepy! They have these little girls with their faces painted like a $2 whore, hair extensions, flippers (fake teeth) and have them gyrating around on the stage like strippers. It’s disgusting and the first thing I always think of is there is some pedophile out there loving it. This clip from South Park this season is exactly what I think dudes are doing.

The girls look like plastic dolls with warpaint on. They are heavily rehearsed and it’s sickening to watch.  All it is is a bunch of women trying to relive their youth and fallen dreams through their children. A lot of these girls don’t even enjoy doing the shows. Come the hell on! Two thumbs down for the show and for pageants as well.

2010 Sucks Already

So it is already 19 days into the new year and I’ve already slipped when it came to my New Year’s resolutions. Forget that, I never even made a list. I vowed to exercise more yet I sit at work snacking on truffles. *shaking head* I moved offices and am now on base so there is a vending machine. Oh the glorious vending machine! If I’m not getting chips then I’m getting vanilla filled cookies. It’s sad really. On top of that, my job situation hasn’t gotten any better. We should hopefully hear whether we got the contract or not by the end of the month. If we don’t win, I have a job until the end of February and then I’m screwed.

On top of that, I get a letter in the mail from a place that I hadn’t heard from in over six months and they want a settlement for an ungodly amount. We already talked about what the deal was and now they want to claim amnesia. What a hell of a way to start 2010!

Trifling Coworkers

So my job has a contract until the end of February and then we might be out in the wind. The company put their bid in for the re-compete and I hope we win. We have to be on point at work because we want to give the government customer the best view of the company; however, my asshole coworker is messing it up. We are supposed to be at work at 8:30 and dude rolls in between 9:15-9:45 acting like nothing is wrong. To top it off, he has the audacity to try to leave early with everyone else. When I stay later then he decides to sit back down. It also doesn’t help that he’s Black. We already get a bad rap that we can never be on time and he is perpetuating that stereotype and it burns me up!  Between him and my other pretentious coworker “Cali” I’m at the end of my rope…..

Booty Pop

Is this crap for real? I mean seriously, the before and after look about the same to me. I’m on a personal mission to pump up my azz or as I call them “sweet meats”. Yeah, people laugh when I tell them that….. I will not subject myself to wearing these monstrosities. It looks like they have a brick in the back of their pants. You can see the padding outline! It’s going to be a lot of upset dudes out there now. Think they got Betty Boop and when the pants come down they got Spongebob Squarepants. Terrible….

Quentin Tarantino Movies & Feet

Yes, I know Quentin Tarantino has a foot fetish. It just makes me laugh to see how he incorporates it in pretty much all his movies. I thought of this topic after watching Inglourious Basterds this weekend. I kept saying there was no way he could incorporate feet into this film about Nazis and he did. So many closeups of Diane Kruger’s feet and shoe removal it was insane.

I have no problem with foot fetishes because I even posed for a friend’s fetish site before. Guys always looked at my feet but I never knew why. I never knew anyone with a foot fetish that was willing to tell me they had one but I’m sure I’ve met a few.  To each their own….
