I see da Eye..

daaaaaaaaaaamn. i'm just trying to make it to Thursday so i can leave to Miami. why is this thing suppose to hit us on Wednesday??? supposedly its done some crazy damage... cat 3 with 125mph winds out in the carribean..... anyways aren't i in trouble cuz if it doesnt hit here that means it turned towards Florida? lolz....
here is another funny thing... when the Cancun trip was booked, i do have to say that the dude who booked it thought about hurricane season.... so how ironic would it to be - as a result of getting the vacation after being screwed over only to end up screwed over twice if cancun gets hit by a hurricane. thas the type of luck i have. lolz. real funny to me.

Come sit and Chat....

ME - "Anyways, I want to tell you what happened because its leads us back into the discussion about myspace, facebook and dating sites like match.com"

Friend who wants to remain Anonymous - "what..Some Lame guy contact you on myspace?"

ME - "No." Advances to tell story.

Tells story.

Story telling is finished.

Friend who wants to remain Anonymous - "Irene let me summarize your story in a literary sense."

Friend who wants to remain Anonymous - "Heroine character was weak, no characterization, no motivation, hard for the reader to sympathize. Plot was pointless and mundane. Ending was unsatisfying, offering neither resolution of the central conflict or progression/development of the character. And finally the ending was telegraphed from the first page."

ME - "You really are mean to me. I'm not talking to you for the rest of the day."

lolz! Here's the funny thing.. i have two best friends who met their match on an online site and happened to end up marrying that person. I know plenty of people who do online dating. I on the otherhand am kinda opposed to it because of the whole "who knows if they are telling the truth" or whatever. needless to say thats not any damn different from the outside dating world (meaning not through your friends or school)

so said anonymous friend has told me to go pick up a book entitled "Freakonomics" which I will now start dedicating my weekends to reading it at Barnes and Nobles... cuz hey why pay for it when u can read it there. lol cheap ass. It is a book by a brilliant U. of Chicago economist, Steven D. Levitt, which analyzes a wide range of topics from an economist’s Point of View.

So Lets capture your attention though because the whole reason why this came up was to oppose me posting anything on match.com site. Here are some interesting stats for those considering getting noticed:

**An unattractive male has to earn $150,000 more than an attractive male to be on an “even playing field.”

**Hispanic male has to make $77,000 more than a White Male to be on an even playing field with regard to getting responses from White Females.

**Black Males have to make $154,000 more than White Males

**Asian Males have to make $247,000 more than a White Male to be on an even playing field with regard to getting responses from White Women.

So what have we learned? I'm not a white woman so u will be getting a response from me! hahhaahah just kidding... anonymous friend says.. and I quote "It all Reeks of Desperation." lol kinda harsh isnt he?

When Jokes Go Horribly Wrong...

oh I need to tell you what i got into yesterday.... so what had happen was.... i went to the Bally's during my lunch break to get a little workout on... my old trainer Rafael works there .. and well he has a little boy who at the time had a little play gun. so we are all out in the parking lot and two off the staff members - Carlos and Heidi - were about to go to lunch. we all get along really well and big dummy Rafael decided to be funny and he had his son's play gun and he starts pushing Carlos into the car saying "get your ass in the car!" and Heidi was playing along like a victim and Rafael and I were pushing them into the car and telling them they better cooperate and all this crap.... so really u hear all this screaming, car honking, etc... just being really stupid right? Well.. I happened to look up to see some lady on the phone all crouched down hiding behind a car super scared! and at that moment rafael turned around with his fake gun and this lady is like trippin!!! LMAO!!!!! ohhhhhhhhhhhhh myyyyyyy myyyyyyy she was on the phone with the cops yelling "he has a gun!" and she practically dives into her car and takes off!!! I'm sorry but i busted out laughing and i took off running inside the gym and i turn around and see Rafael doing the same. haaaaaaaaaaaaaahahhahah we freaked that lady da hell out! Needless to say the cops started patroling the parking lot and well of course nothing went down since everyone had taken off lolz... funny funny stuff...

Rush Hour 3

Chris Tucker. Funny character. Went last night to catch part 3 .... it was cute. The first one is still my favorite, yet definately this one surpasses part 2 on the comedy. Tucker basically makes this movie because i'd have to say half of the supporting actors... are the reason why they are supporting actors.... i dont know if anyone else does this... since i analyze everything, whenever i watch a movie i will look at the actor's eyes.... if they are truly in the role you can tell... sometimes though i look at them and its as if they are thinking "i wonder if my lines are coming across as well as i'd hope" does that make sense? cuz thats the impression i got from the actress in this movie. Jackie Chan though is still funny and crazy with all his stunts. Yes and there are bloopers at the end, i was hoping there would be! Thumbs up from me more along renting the movie than actually paying at the theater for it. Over and out. lol.

Making Good Times...

14-16 years in the making... its the type of friendship where everyone has just been through everyone's life turning events. not individually, together. This weekend was a definite breather ... first off congrats to Abdullah... he's finished with school and is ready for the whole nuclear med world! We all went out on Friday to celebrate... which of course is just the pre-cursor to his grad party in Miami in two weeks... i can't wait for that!
I had a really .... i need to find the right words.... this weekend the luv i felt from friends... thats what i needed. they never fail in that category anyways yet sometimes u need it more than other times. Its when u have that empty feeling... that gut wrenching empty feeling, does that make sense? kind of being scared thinking "is this how its going to be" cuz life is dealing cards from the bottom of the deck... and ur looking for that ace or that one card to complete your hand.... and why i'm relating this to poker i dont know...lol.... but yah i tend to run away from that feeling but we all do. so its ok. thats why its good to have a blog for the self expression. man i've put up some crazy hater-ass blogs too hahhaha thats just me at that moment in time. i dont have ill feeling towards anyone.. even dating wise. it can't always be what you would hope for it to be.
hey my weekly crew i always thank you guys for the time u spend with me (insert ur jokes here lol)... also thanks to Wes, NJ, JV, Meed, Dalouny for chillin on Friday at Grab Bar... love to see those guys... plus some peeps from my gym (angel, kat, martinez, chili) for coming out to chill with me (by the way the shirts i designed look bad-ass lol my one conceited moment but where da hell is my shirt?????) and shoutout to jv for my late night pizza snack attack saturday night.... Gail and Muna for lunch on Saturday... Robin, Omair, Zubair, your cousin who's name i can't spell, Dullah, Zishan, Ridwan for Saturday afternoon and to Rochelle, Bux, Talib bro's (yes all three in one spot lol), Corey, Kiff, Magic and Pranav for staying out with me on a Sunday till 2am... total craziness and laughs...

Last Words

ALANIS MORISSETTE LYRICS

"You Oughta Know"

I want you to know, that I'm happy for you

I wish nothing but the best for you both

An older version of me

Is she perverted like me

Would she go down on you in a theatre

Does she speak eloquently

And would she have your baby

I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able

To make it enough for you to be open wide, no

And every time you speak her name

Does she know how you told me

you'd hold meUntil you died, till you died

But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you

went awayIt's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

You seem very well, things look peaceful

I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know

Did you forget about me Mr. Duplicity

I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner

It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced

Are you thinking of me when you fuck her

Cause the love that you gave that we made wasn't able
To make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
you'd hold meUntil you died, till you died
But you're still alive

And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you
went awayIt's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

Cause the joke that you laid on the bed that was me

And I'm not gonna fade

As soon as you close your eyes and you know it

And every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back

I hope you feel it...well can you feel it

And I'm here to remind you

Of the mess you left when you

went awayIt's not fair to deny me

Of the cross I bear that you gave to me

You, you, you oughta know

Oh and In case you didn't know

mark-ass bitch: The mark-ass bitch will gladly give the slut all his money and time in exchange for her pretending to be faithful.

the wall still stands..

Today, I'm feeling the distance between us a little more than most days..I'm
missing your smile, your touch, your easy ways.

I'm feeling a little lonelier
than usual,thinking of you a little more,

and missing the way I feel when I'm with you.

Today, like everyday that you are away,I'm missing you and wishing you
were here...only today, I find myself wishing just a little bit more.

Reunion Recap!

1997. What a year. Kempner Graduation. Where's Kempner... out in Sugar Land... Voss Road...across from cow fields where many a cow decided to commit suicide and jump out into the streets. (Do you honestly know how many times that made me tardy?!) ok ok so fast forward 10 years. wow. Highschool reunion... thank god no one listened to me when i was all "let's go rent some bad ass car and claim its ours" hahahhahhaha i mean thats why we all go to these reunions right? cuz i dont know about you but i keep in touch with the people i wanted to so no need for this reunion stuff. BUT for kicks, lets see what happened to the cheerleader and hope that she has like ten kids, living on a trailer park with baby daddy drama. hahahahhahahhaha....

nah not to sounds negative, u never know who might show back up and its fun to be curious of how some people turned out. Honestly off the top of my head only 3 people there made me be like "awwwww man!!! where have u been!!!" and everyone else i was like "yah i'm gonna need a couple of more beers to make u interesting." hahahhahahah Sarah Dees, Lawrence Bong and Randall Column... some of the sweetest people i know and glad to report they are doing well.

It's funny cuz i saw Bikram and Pankaj up there who i see all da DAMN time lol and we kept flocking back to each other more for comfort more than anything else. Reunion was held at this bar out in the boon-docks called "the Swinging Door". All together now folks "CHooooo Chooooo!!" freakin hick station galore, that place was lame, BBQ might have been from a reunion earlier in the day, and i'm sorry but if ur just serving Beer... what kind of BAR is that?!?!? We parked in gravel and grass. Rain, Mud, if u didnt have a truck u should not come is what they should have said. it was so high school too... everyone sat at tables just like in the cafeteria room... i even was like "no, u can't sit at my table" hahahhahahha geeks on one side, headbangers over there, snobs over there... and social butterflies have a seat at every table.

funny stuff. so it started at 7. i got there at 8 with Kim and Trina and I left at 10 lolz.... needless to say i could care less for the 25 or 20th reunion... blah. Congrats though on all those who told me they were married and with newborns, that was definately sweeet news. Oh and here is our class vote from that night... which i was not around for... thank god it was Dullah's Birthday
