Da Randomness...

Is it me or was this a blink-and-you-miss-it summer? This shit went by hella fast. I've been having fun though. I speak of it in past tense because after labor day weekend its pretty much fall. Except out here, where it'll be hot until Halloween.

Becks is out. How is it that this fool fucks up his knee and still gets paid a gazillion dollars? If it sounds like I'm hating, its because I am.

My birthday is in 2 weeks! After a lot of thought I decided I'm going to have a beach bonfire. You know its going to be a celebration that entire weekend. Yes!

Tomorrow is my first tea party. I'm super excited about it! The place I'm going is a real Victorian tea house and we're having lemon bars, brownies, scones, quiche, chocolate covered strawberries, cucumber sandwiches, the whole deal. I kind of feel like a lady who lunches.

I've been thinking about writing a book. I have a grip of ideas and I want to get them out there. I feel the pull and it's getting stronger. I feel like I don't know where to start, but I guess the first step is to get started.

Damn it's too hot to blog. I'm out.

Only in the 'hood: Friday afternoon coonery

I seem to witness the most random shit on a regular basis. Case in point: I'm in line at the car wash waiting to get the whip shined up, and what pulls up behind me but a pink Impala with Lamborghini doors? If that wasn't bad enough, this heffa had a pink boa lining the dashboard, pink furry seat covers, and pink rims. Why must I cry?

At least they weren't spinners. I would have died right then and there.

Oh, but it gets better. The driver was blasting Lil' Boosie's "Wipe Me Down." When that song went off, the next track was "Ay Bay Bay." Who wants the bet that the next track on the playlist was "Crank That Soulja Boy"?

I'm sure you're thinking that the owner of this vehicle is prolly some young girl who has been overexposed to BET. But no! The person that hopped out the car had to be at least 30. I would guesstimate between 30-35. Damn shame.

She was coordinated with the car, though. She had on black pants, a pink and black polka dot top, and false eyelashes. She looked like a ghetto Minnie Mouse. Despite all this, she was a really nice, approachable person. She offered me and the guy next to me car freshener (I politely declined) and struck up a convo with the person next to me. After ear hustlin' for 5 minutes I learned that Minnie was the Assistant Manager at the grocery store, that the lamborghini doors costed $900 (what a fucking waste!), and that the car had not only been repainted several times, but it has been vandalized several times too. No! Seriously? It's unfathomable why someone would vandalize that eyesore.

Also amusing was that another Impala pulled up, but this one was red and white racer striped with red rims. Definitely not a car that you would want to drive in some neighborhoods. Now that I think about it, this driver may have accidentally drove in the wrong 'hood, because he had on an eye patch. The Blood-mobile wasn't fucking with Minnie Mouse though. Wipe me down.

Bitch Please

The "bitch please" moment of the day is brought to you by...this heffa right here. Maybe I'm just mean, but I don't feel sorry for her. Or her son.

I'm not at all sympathetic when it comes to someone who not only comes to the US illegally and commits identity theft, but as a taxpayer I'm probably supporting this bitch and her offspring? Uh, no.

And I'm about to go there, but you know that if this was a black immigrant, her, her kids, and her mama 'nem would have been on the first thing smoking out of this country. Haitian refugees, anyone?

I bet if I went to Mexico and got caught stealing something, they would send my black ass back to my native country. No question.

It's probably clear that I'm not a supporter of open immigration. I live in LA, where there are a shitload of illegals. Illegals who are driving around with no car insurance causing accidents, committing crimes, and causing more overcrowding in an already overcrowded city.

My thing is, if you want to live in the US, why not do it the legal way like everyone else? Instead of sneaking across the border and having babies, and then claiming that you can't leave because your child is a citizen? Way to take advantage of the Constitution.

Most of us are immigrants in some form. Some of us were brought to this country involuntarily. But we're here legally, while others aren't. If you want to live in the US, get that paperwork started, homegirl. I don't mind you being here, hell, diversity makes things a bit more interesting. But don't fucking come over here illegally, steal people's identity, and then act like you're entitled to stay.

Bitch please.

So Krispy

"I'm so krispy, I'm so krispy..." I'm not Kia Shine but I'm crispy as hell right now. I'm super sunburned. I went from honey golden brown to red brown. Yesterday I went to Lake Elsinore to go jetskiing. I had so much fun! It was a thousand fucking degrees out there...well it was really 105, but shit that's close enough.

Not only did I hop on a jet ski for the first time, I took the reins and drove it myself. I had a ball out there. I almost fell over a few times when the water got rough, and my tailbone hurts like hell from all the bouncing on the jet ski. It was all worth the experience though.

I also drove the speedboat around the lake. I was Captain BGI! Driving a boat is just like driving a car. Except you can stand up. And its a much rougher ride. But its just like driving a car. It's like driving a Deville.

It think I may have found a new interest. It's not something I'll be able to do often, but its something I would definitely do again given the opportunity.

Relaxation Vacation

I'm on vacation from work until next Tuesday. How excited am I? I'm not taking a trip anywhere, but I'm using this time off to get some much needed rest. I was exhausted and it was beginning to manifest itself in my performance, so I knew it was time for a break.

I'm also taking an impromptu break from life...well, as much as I can. I know I can't get completely away since I didn't go out of town. But I want to spend as much time relaxing as possible. I haven't made any plans to do anything. It feels weird to not have anything to do. Naturally I feel like I should find something to do. I can't stay confined to the house, I may lose my marbles.

This may be a good time to get back to things I really enjoy. Sometimes I get so caught up in everyday life that I tend to diverge from that. Yesterday I went walking on the nature trail at my college. It was so relaxing and peaceful to get some exercise outdoors and enjoy nature. I haven't done that in so long. I usually work out in the gym. Today I plan on eating junk all day and tonight I'm going to a bar/lounge with a friend I haven't seen in awhile. Tomorrow will be family day. Maybe we'll go catch a flick or something. Monday...I don't have any plans so far. Which is probably a good thing.

Have a good weekend peoples!

Peace.
