NY!

Sometimes as I walk the city I need to look around and take note of where I am...
New York
Where struggles are real
Success is tangible
Happiness is alive
And life is moving all around you...
Yup. My hometown...
NY

When u believe...in capitalism.

Macy's all done up Christmas style. I tend to take in the city all done up in its Christmasy best during this time of year. Took a stroll thru Macy's on 34th st (not for the fant of shopper @ heart) for this is the ultimate shoppers paridise/ tourist trap/ consumer capitalist wrapped Christmas symbol of NYC you could find. Yet I still love to see the cool decorations & believe yes Virginia there is a Santa Clause. You can purchase him for 9.99 + tax. But let me tell you something, there are entirely too many people here trying to return something to the store. As one of my good friends said they need to give better hints for what they want for Christmas since all this returning on Boxing Day is just rude.

Cheers!

oh Christmas....

X-mas a*.
Current mood: confused
Category: Life
it is now 6:32 pm in the NYC area, and what am i thinking about? Christmas a$$... Yeah i said it. WHY?
well it all started when i heard this morning when i heard on the radion a person singing this song..."Dominick the donkey" the Italian Christmas song...WTF? Christmas A$$? I had to listen to it all & was buggin out...Apparently Santa has a little friend whos name is Dominick, b/c the reindeer cannot make it up the hills of Italy when Santa goes to visit his paisans<-- (no lie) he has this Donkey there to bring them all sorts of stuff, like shoes and a dress etc etc... ARE YOU FREAKIN KIDDING ME??? here are the lyrics....

Hey! Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.
(la la la-la la-la la la la la)
(la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)

Santa's got a little friend,
His name is Dominick.
The cutest little donkey,
You never see him kick.
When Santa visits his paisons,
With Dominick he'll be.
Because the reindeer cannot, Climb the hills of Italy.

Hey! Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.
(la la la-la la-la la la la la) (la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)

Jingle bells around his feet,
And presents on the sled.
Hey! Look at the mayor's derby,
On top of Dominick's head.
A pair of shoes for Louie,
And a dress for Josephine.
The labels on the inside says, They're made in Brooklyn.

Hey! Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.
(la la la-la la-la la la la la) (la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)

Children sing, and clap their hands,
And Dominick starts to dance.
They talk Italian to him,
And he even understands.
Cumpare sing, Cumpare su,
And dance 'sta tarantel.
When jusamagora comes to town,
And brings du ciuccianello.

Hey! Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)
It's Dominick the donkey.
Chingedy ching, (hee-haw, hee-haw)
The Italian Christmas donkey.
(la la la-la la-la la la la la) (la la la-la la-la la-ee-oh-da)
Hey! Domini

NOW.....not only does it take a stretch of the imagination to believe in Santa to begin with,
then the flying reindeer complete with the 'special' one named Rudolph,
who happens to have a red nose & leads the way to all the houses all over the world
(but definitely not the projects seeing as how 1- there are some bad-ass kids in the projects
2- and there aint no chimneys to go on down, no one ever cleared up that little fact for me during my childhood)
sorry i digressed...
but now some folks continue to subscribe to a CHRISTMAS A$$?
The radio announcer explained this was an old song, etc etc...i'm sorry, i just dont get it..
I personally was expecting another kind of Christmas ass, which is seriously lacking in my life at the moment, but we will leave that for another time...

LET IT SNOW!

Holiday week-day 4

Something motivational for sure! very me...

Something corny

This is what i got for the gift of something corny. The craziest things about these jelly beans are that you can either have one that taste like chocolate pudding or canned dog food. care to try one?

Happy national chocolate covered anything day!

(no I didn't make that up...)

Yeah so we are celebrating holiday-week at the office. what does this mean? Everyday there is something new and exciting to be had.
Now this morning I indulged in a coffee and a ring-ding that was provided by the office...
why?
cause it is national chocolate covered anything day.
(I'll pause to let your imaginations run wild...thinking Denzel or Idris here...)
yummy...
that's all...

Holiday week -day 2

Something black and white...i think it is great!

Holiday week-day 1

The theme is green & good. Ohh cool and it smells great too!

for all those who dont know how to drive

stay your ass off the road.
fuckin' no driving no parking ass people.

(yes this is a pic of my car. No I was not driving it. It was parked on the damn road.)

I go to work every damn day. I put in more hours than necessary and I do the best job I can. And then I do some damn more. I help all those I can & if I can't myself help then I try to put you with someone who will be able to help you. I volunteer. I give back. I donate. I counsel people, love people, friend everyone & everything I think of. I can't do no more. I don't rob, cheat or steal. But what happenss to me? My car gets hit for no apparent reason on the side of the road. I am the one who has to come out of pocket to cover some damn driving ass fools non-driving way.
I am so beyond pissed right now. This world continually is shitting on me in the worst way. Clearly I have pissed off all the Gods, angels & demons to have this crap happen.
I am so beyond pissed at the human race, and really have lost all faith in humanity. I mean what humanity? Is this the way we as humans beings treat people and their property? Yes I am funny aware that accidents do happen but there is something to be said about owning up to what you did you piece of &*@! I would wish the most horrible of horrific things to happen to you and your vechile but even now I cant do that (sad) and what is really pissy is that I got to suck it up and keep trudging along to some imagined justice in this world (really sad).
Yeah I suppose I may be going off the deep end just cause my car got hit but I feel so wronged.
I feel utterly violated and there is no one I can blame. No one I can seek retribution from. There is nothing that can be done.
I am pissed. It is gonna take me a few days to get over this.

a little behind on my goodle doodles...

SO I havent had a chance to actually blog much lately with work being absolutely crazy but

11/26/09 This year Thanksgiving was nice. We all cooked (I made my famous cornbread stuffing) and we watched Black Dynamite...It was very interesting. Family time is always a bit interesting. Mom of course is sorely missed.

12/01/09 was world AIDS day.

12/08/09 the google doodle was of popeye the sailorman & i remember eating spinach at the table where we used to live (624) & pretending to be strong after eating it. weird.

that's all for now...

This is why people hate americans...

Really?
A snuggie for the damn dog?
We can't pass a health care bill for our working peoples,
we can't take care of folks on the street
but here is a snuggie for the dog.
Hot dog!
shaking my head...that's all...

coffee thought...

greeting on this 60 degree weather we are having in NY. it brings to mind thoughts of Global warming... which is possibly why we are having this warm weather.
