and this too shall pass..

just really frustrated, really icebox right now..... just cuz things happen a million times it doesn't mean the millionth and one time won't make its mark. i'm working on it, keepin busy... jokes people.. i need jokes!!!

Cirque Du Soleil

Location: Treasure Island aka T.I.
Key Playas: Irene & Hatim
Show: Mystere
Synopsis: the ultimate discovery that life itself is a mystery

Right in front of center stage, in like the third or fourth row...awesome awesome seats.... and honestly it didn't look like there was a bad seat in the house. I've never seen a Cirque du Soleil production even when they came here to Houston so was not too sure what to expect. Honestly.... striking lighting effects, majestic voices and music coming from a live band, and perplexing yet astonishing tactics with the human body. ooooo u like that description huh?! hell yah.
I dont want to ruin the show if you have not seen it, yes i would recommend you book a ticket if you can. Remember, i have not seen the other productions so I don't have a comparison to make - yet as a "first timer" i liked the show choice i made! Although, I can't help to contemplate the fact that some of the acts i've "seen". I mean, there are two that come to mind... one is part of the acrobatics which i've seen when i went to Cancun at the Coco Bongo Club and the other i could have sworn was part of a half-time show at a rockets game. lolz!

Overall, it was definately invigorating to the eye. Hatin was pretty much floored. How cooool.. his very first trip to Vegas and hell its was like my freakin 10th time there and he got to do everything i wanted to do the first time!

After the show we went to the gift shop and pretty much played around with the masks and took some pics...thus the weird pics in the above collage lolz... so anyways, yups two thumbs up on Mystere. I believe the tickets were definately worth the price if you decide to take a trip to see them!

long days

by the way this pic makes sense at the end of this blog lolz!

still up. lately sleep has become an oddity. 4am seems my sleep hour. i get real tired at work and even more tired at the gym. u would think i'd pass da hell out. the only comforting fact is the friends i have in Cali.. some are still up until 2am their time so at least i still have company to talk to. East Coast friends totally sell me out and of course peeps here would beat me the next day if i dare call at such an hour.

yesterday i watched that shows Scrubs. yah i watched tv, again against my nature.... that show is hilarious to me.. no wonder Ridwan is always quoting something from there. I saw it at joseph's house after watching Heroes with him, marie and rochelle. Next Monday is the finale and i promised them i would cook them brisket, mash potato and queso... spoiled they are lol nah i love to cook and lucky them, i'm off from da gym on Monday. Some of our fighters are turning pro so special training in progress for them. yays!

its cold at night... maybe thats why my whole crew has been hibernating. i haven't been out in awhile and its odd for everyone lol people keep asking where i been hiding. im just really tired physically, mentally, and just taking time to rest. lucky for them as well cuz with me constantly trying to drag u out of your house... you would b glad that i decided to lay low for a bit. tsk tsk tsk.

talked to jul again today... he likes to tell me any recent jokes - he's a stand up comedian whore.... and i like to laugh, so that makes for great conversation. damn maybe if he was boring i'd be put to sleep. lolz. oh so i decided not to go to san antonio this weekend. real talk.. im too tired to go out of my way or that extra mile for situations that just don't make sense. was that rude to say? didn't mean for it to be yet i'm sure u get the point.

oh and next weekend i will be in the christmas parade in Kemah! yups, on a float!! cool huh? juss a lil recognition i was invited to. There will be a boat party as well, open bar, gambling, food, and prizes! i'm very excited about that and i even saw this really gorgeous coat that i want to buy for the event. now i'm last to be materialistic... (don't materialistic people say that? lolz yah i mean it though) it happens to be a kenneth cole... which is awesome but sux ass cuz of the price??? dammmit and u kno its only cold two days in houston. what a lose-lose situation. i'm so going to spoil myself and get it though, who cares. and i might even dress really girly girl... like a dress..... omg... no way... makes me nervous - the party, not the dress. i may need to spike the eggnog ... u know i drink to make people more interesting hahahhahah joking!!!

sigh...alright..... let me try to sleep again.... i think i updated u on current events... by the way Hatim says i type the way i talk to people in person. lolz good. i hope you do feel like i'm talking to you when you read this - as opposed to me totally talking to my blog like a geeeek!!

night.. night.... i dunno why the image of that oldskool gloworm toy just popped in my head...oh and now a popple cuz i said popped... hahhahhah yah im not sleeping.....

Penny for your Thoughts....

Alright, so lets mention my NEW collection.... i would say hobby but by definition of the word "hobby" thats more of an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation. Um so collecting pennies... i dont see the pleasure or relaxation in that... so lets stick with collection and the act of "collecting". tsk tsk tsk.....
Ok so you guys ever see those machines....the ones where you have to put two quarters in and a penny?? Then you can choose your design - which by the way you have to do FIRST before inserting the money... i seen so many people screw that part up. lol. Oh that's just one catch. The other catch, it works best if you have a SHINY penny and not that one u picked up in the parking lot which was sitting in oil (probably from my car) and you were soo happy to pick it up just cuz it was HEADS up (thats the lucky side right?). yah whatever.
Anyways, i've always have played with these machines and so i have a couple of these pennies from different places. I'd come back home from my trip and then just put it in my travel collection which is in reference to my shot glasses.
The cool part - I was in San Francisco and just finished chillin on the Golden Gate Bridge when i walked into the Gift Shop and low and behold... a "Squished Penny Pocketbook"!!! Coooooool!!! hahhahahhahaha yup yups so i bought it. Here are some of the pennies I have:



Dude, u only have four pennies???? <---- um no. Remember i found this in San Francisco which means the trips like London, Hawaii and Singappore, etc, etc... those pennies are in my storage in a box which is under another box, which is under another box... which i'm not going to go dig out. So the four you get to see are actually not too impressive. One is from Las Vegas, one from San Francisco, one from San Antonio and the last from right here in Houston at the Museum of Natural Science. yay! u likes? so yups i'm on the lookout now for these machines. if you pplan on visiting anywhere i have been already where i missed the machine... let me borrow 51 cents and get me one... i'll pay u back! lolz....

Update on Hawaii...

****Disclaimer: Jul is aware of this blog lolz..

daaaaamn well you guys remember Hawaii right? He met a couple of you when he came to visit me. Take a look at his recent pic after almost a year in the army now...... i love the army!! lolz! awwww i'm kidding. he finished top of his class and supposedly has all these great things going on for him and i'm genuinely happy he has achieved this goal in his life.

timing has always been the only element in my life that surprises me. I mean you can pretty much tell me anything or do anything and i will rarely have a shocked reaction. Yet when it comes to timing... certain events happen at just that right moment and i'm like "this is so weird." With that said.. this past Friday i was at work for no reason and just listening to music... pretty much had myself in a somber state and was talking to Hatim (the one i went to Vegas with) about life in general and how we should always be on that Vegas vacation. hahah so certain topics came up and my sensitive ass had to go and be a girl about it and whine and cry right? (this is what happens when i get a two hour break between getting ready to go out and actually going out) cuz for the most part i'm pretty damn hyper and laughing at you. lolz.

then not even an hour later, jul calls me. (i still keep in touch with his sister which is how he got my number) so here comes this call from the army. and its soooo weird..... he called to say Happy Thanksgiving and before i could say thank you... he goes off about regrets he had about us not working out.... pretty much everything he should have said back in the day right? and with me, every relationship that fails i can't help to think that its because of me and he just completely turned every thought i had around. the timing though, i havent heard from him in about a year already... it was pretty unreal and yet sad for me. i honestly needed to hear everything he said at that moment. he truly was a breath of fresh air at the time that i met him. So yeah.. he is still here in Texas in San Antonio. He wants me to visit next weekend which I may or may not do. I personally dislike San Antonio. lolz.

Anyways he did send his regards out to my friends and i wish him well. He told me that he is pretty sure they will deploy him and he is scared about it and that hurts as well to hear yet at the same time it is the choices you make in life right? After this whole holiday of Thanksgiving and sincerely thinking about what we should be grateful for..... i'm thankful for just being right here and you being right here with me. material things mean nothing in my book... my heart belongs to all those i cross paths with whether it was years ago or now, i wish nothing but your well-being.

What hurts the most
Is being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was trying to do

Not seeing that loving you
That’s what I was trying to do

Reeeowwr......

Owwwwww!! Just take a minute to soak in the picture. That right there boys and girls is the new Mac OS X Leopard installed on my G5 and Powerbook G4 ..... of course with only one license hahahahhahah whatever. Oh ahd of course on my phone as a screensaver! shuddup u!! stop hatin on my geeky luv for these gadgets. Let me tell you though, my relationship with Mac has considerably improved. Once I get the parallel desktop installed (run windows on mac) then maybe I might be sold on the idea of owning a Mac. (but u already own a mac!) Yes i know but its totally because of work and I wouldn't understand why you would own a Mac if you are not in some type of field which requires the Graphic Applications. You, unlike me, would just buy a Mac to look trendy. lolz. I, on the other hand, can tell you millions of better things to do with 10,000 dollars then spending it on a complete Mac System. Why are graphic apps better on a Mac? well these days its not even about that cuz u can do the same thing on a PC.. point is MAC brought out the apps first and us old skool peeps are use to the short cuts and we've been learning everything in Mac so there is the answer to that age old question.


For those of you who care, don't think it wasn't a biatch to install the new OS. It is and again reiterated my Love/Hate relationship with Macs. Sure it installed perfectly on my G4... but on my G5, my freakin powerhouse, it totally crashed it for a whole day. Just for that, give me the jobs of those jerks at apple because they sure as hell did not test out the software and if u google G5 and OS X Leopard, you will see a shiii load of users who are having problems. How did i fix it?? Patience. Reinstalled that OS like 6 times.. seriously... and it finally completed installation and started up. Thats the best advice I can give, sorry. Otherwise you can sit there and watch that stupid ass blue screen that makes u think the mac is processing but its really frozen. BUT once u finally get it working thru miracles of God (which i believe maybe Satan owns a Mac) then you got yourself on bad-ass OS. Lots of new qualities, my favorite being remote viewing - which i could have had before if i had the patience to configure it but why would I when it already comes with the new OS !! yessss so i have total control of my work Mac from my laptop anywhere in da world! Before, ernie would have to drop files onto the .mac idisk for me to access the files on the internet. Now I dont need Ernie. hahahah yessss Ernie elimination, ur worth value has just gone down. hahahahhahah I can go on and on about the new stuff, if ur interested ask me. Oh and I'm still hood and goin out with da crew... I just found a lil playtime for myself this week.. lolz.....

what can i do...

oh by the way...

so last year my beagle had pups right ?? and everyone was all "go sell it at the flea market or on hwy 6" etc etc... anyways my ass knows better... i went to Hong Kong market and sold 8 beagles in 3 hours.. lolz asians luv dogs what can i say....

so point being ..today i get a random call.. some lady calls me crying her ass off and with her insane FOB accent i had no idea what she was saying... so then her husband gets on the line... turns out he ran over her puppy (was only 1 year old) and she's devastated and wants to know the numbers of the brother and sister pups to go visit them.... ummm do i suck that i didn't keep track of that shii?? dammit i just wanted to sell the dogs. lolz..... so that just made her day a little worse right? ....

so just right now ...her and her husband came to my work!!! lolz... she wants a pic of my dog to see how the puppy would have turned out! and she's cryin her ass off and yellin at her husband... it took every effort for me to keep a straight face, i know i'm mean, but this shit was a lil too hilarious for me....

anyways i dont even have damn pics of my dog so i had to go online to my stupid ass blog to copy and print pics hahhahahha .....whatever.

my sitcom moment for today...
