Gemini Horoscope for January 31, 2011

What's your rush? The upcoming plans you have will have to wait anyway, so there's no sense in running around -- doing so only wastes energy. Keep your focus on what needs to happen today, and let tomorrow take care of itself. If you're losing concentration, distract yourself by socializing with coworkers or friends. Work on the social aspect of your life a little bit more intensely -- there are goals there that you haven't met yet.

Inspiring

I am sure I got this from my mom like ages ago, and it has been displayed in my home for just as long, but today I get it.
Thanks Mom.

coffee thought... & horoscope...1/30/11

I made some coffee today- umm yum. just a lazy Sunday, right?
right.. i got to do some laundry, put up the Christmas decorations that I took down after Christmas, cook some dinner (baked chicken, rice & salad), find parking on the correct side of the street (across the street but above the line for the school- really school parking is still in effect with all this damn snow on the ground) prepare for the upcoming snow storms (Tuesday on) i have to finish shredding these old papers/ bills i found (one bag o'junk down- 498 more to go) and then i have committed to writing/ typing more of my fiction INTO the computer so i can make progress of this work (word) then lay out clothes for tomorrow (a more progressive/organized me would take that thru the whole week- alas that is not I) and finally exfoliate which I have planned to do for 4 weeks now. FUN.

oh take a look...

Gemini Horoscope for January 30, 2011

You've worked hard for everything you have. So be proud of your accomplishments ... despite how they may compare to other people's. Everyone is on their own journey through life, and comparing yourself to others doesn't create healthy energy. Today you're challenged to keep a harmonious balance between being generous and conserving your gains. When push comes to shove, it's wiser for you to err on the side of keeping what you have.

...I kind of am feeling that right about now... don't take it personal.

Have a safe, warm & productive Sunday!

that's all.

bored...still

does anyone else see the humor in this??

Snow day & an Ass car

First up Iced coffee as I begin the day-- woke up at my regular time of 6:30 to see if we may have some issues with going to work cause of the snow that was coming overnight...

Next thing you know

SNOW DAY!!!!!!!!!

Today is a snow day & let me tell you something- there used to be a time when I would wish for snow days and hope the snow comes to keep us from going to school & stuff. Bur right about now I am so sick of it cause there has been consistent snow for the past 6 weeks and a chick is about tired of cleaning off my car. sick and tired of fighting with the snow, thru the snow, around the snow...ugh.

and then this damn ass car comes into our block and parks his busted out car on the side of the school sticking out into the street which would prevent ANY plow from coming down the street (side note: not a plow typically comes down this street since we are about 2 steps below tertiary roads and still don't get clear) how rude to come into this block and hold up any possibility of progress.

I think i will tackle the cleaning the car sometime this afternoon.... or maybe not!

be safe out there....that's all

Have you ever seen someone doing something so profound, speaking so eloquently that it makes you want to just stop. Just stop moving trying writing speaking hell even breathing and just be present to their words and the emotions and feelings they are presenting. Tonight I saw a wonderful poet author spoken word artist human being and man speak his words his life in poetry (well just a snippet). INspired is beyond what I feel- it is like I feel moved to write again. I feel honored to hear his words, those words and grateful that someone could capture an experience (his experience of course) put them out there for me to know and comprehend and relate to and grasp. Still. Somehow I want to convey to you the presence of him and how great the poems affected me that those words haven't been created yet. I know silly but true. I love and am inspire by the beauty that is his poetry and performance.
now if only I can think about something to write...

Hot chocolate

Hot chocolate
I am craving a sweetness that is smooth and full. Something that will fill me up with warmth and heat and passion that it is on the verge of being too much- reckless with the flavor full of hot sugary sweetness.
Something that I know is on the borderline of dangerous and across the line of temptation

Candy coated
Sugar dipped
Hand rolled
Glazed and baked

just give me some chocolate, and I will take care of the rest.

coffee thought...

It is without great fanfare that I introduce thus mornings cup
Of coffee - $2.34 worth of it complete with my french vanilla mixing from home. Yum.
Thoughts? Why oh why do people continue to act brand new? Like you don't know this was the direct result of your actions (the same result as the previous actions since you have not actually changed said actions.)
Sad. Think about it...if you walk the same path you see the same stuff & unless someone knocks down a building and puts up another one it is going the be the same road traveled. And unless you plan on doing cartwheels down the road or taking 10 baby steps at a time down the road it is just the same road traveled.
that's all...

This morning

This morning
I woke up to a serenade in Italian.. which I am sure translated to something like love, amore & desire. Too bad dude was an 70 yr old man on the subway interrupting my sleep.
C'est la vie.<-- which is french LMAO.

MLK & Pancakes

Today we in the world celebrated Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s Birthday with a holiday. His actual birthday was January 15, 1929 but typically they reserve the third monday in January as his day.

Google celebrated with a new doodle:

Disappointments
There have been many.
Some grander than the others,
Others not as big as I expected them to be.
(Disillusionment)
Acquaintances, it is expected…
Friends, surprising but it happened and hurts just as bad.
But family…not you too? Et tu, Brute?
(Discontent)
You know,
Words have power.
You would think the people who say
they love you,
they say they support you,
they say they want to see the best happen to you
for you;
they want to be there with you….
You would think…
(Disenchantment)
Nevertheless their actions are also speaking louder than any of the words that they are saying.
It so happens that life, or my life in particular
Has prepared me for this moment
(Dissatisfaction)

random conversations

Had to paste this random convo with my girl TRS after reading the chicken blog:

TRS: you trip me out on your blog with the sidenotes

me: girl you know how i think/ talk

TRS: but really what does one's black kcard entitle you to. does make you wonder

me: exactly. you should do an indep study on that

TRS: ummmmm

me: no?

TRS: no...And glad you finally claim your good hairedness

me: oh-nope that was a side note of what other people think hence the qoutes

TRS: dude you kill me with that why dont you want to claim the good hairedness. i wish i had good hair

me: dude good hair is like good sex

TRS: and as a side note that does not take your black card away

me: wow side note... and it is a matter of opinion cause ones good sex is certainly another persons poor try at it

TRS: oh no. good sex is not a matter of opinion. they know when sex is bad. they just lying about it.

me: but the sex you know (good or bad) is a result of the sex you been having...right?? follow me-- so if all you have had is bad sex-- then to you it is bad until you can get to or try out good sex comprende?

(this is soooo going on the blog)

TRS: i sure don't comprende. i'm soooo confused. lmao

me: oh shit…you need good sex…or a perm HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH

TRS: I need both actually lmao

me: WOW…you think good sex can straighten your hair?

TRS: no but it can curl your toes…it'll sweat your perm out. You will know you had good sex when your hair is all curly.

me: thanks for the info LOLOL

TRS: you're welcome

(this is the randomness of friendship)

it's been 25 years

Dear Dad,
Hi. how are you??
hopefully everything is good up there. (well, as good as death can be) I safely believe you are up there cause well that is what i choose to believe. You know, it's been 25 years since you died. Imagine that? 25 years... does this make it your silver anniversary? Eh, probably the wrong terminology to be used but you get the point. 25 years without you here is a long time. I am still me, a little more grown but still me. hopefully you are proud of me in some way shape or form and hopefully i continue to make ya proud. well, I'll let you get back to doing what ya do, and yeah lots of love.
