3 day review

Monday

Because I am in the mood that I am in which is NOT GREAT… it might not be the best time to write a blog because I tend to be a little extra mean but I have had this on my heart for a few weeks now so **clears throat** let’s begin.  You can’t have a fucked up weave and a shitty attitude it just doesn’t work sis!!  It has to be one or the other OR Good weave a good attitude that works just fine!! Whoever stole my tangerine I probably will never find you so I hope it was the vitamin C you needed so as not to get me sick during this time of ERR BODY being sick.  To my neighbors who I said I hated what I should have said is I hate the situation (which is all this icy snow) or something that sounded more PC.  I mean you people across the street have about 5 cars but yet the uncle who has a bad back and uses a cane can always be seen walking even in this weather,  and the son who managed to only clean off his car and not even bother to see if I needed help (well you never do so why should now be any different) and then to your entitled caregiver who is there ALL day and thinks it’s ok to park in a clean spot even though she didn’t clean a damn thing off… Yep even though I am knocking on hates door… Jesus said Love thy neighbor and as the little girl who used all the bad language on some dumb reality show, used her justification of cursing she said Jesus said ass in the bible so… Jesus Wins!!!  And then the other neighbors who look like they are setting up a used car lot and then the other OTHA neighbors who keep buying cars… Yeah my issue is I only have 1 car AND I’m the onliest house without a finished driveway.  And even if I get my driveway was finished, I should still be able to park in front of my house without this much damn grief!! I am so convince people do not read so WHY would I expect them to read my email and do what I need for them to do?   I just had a very painful meeting because the chick just did not read the 3 emails I sent AND THEN she is asking me if I understand like I’m the one ill prepared.  Lemme splain something to you little girl… I am prepared even when I’m not prepared.  So just because you do not fully grasp the concept at hand does not mean I DO NOT grasp the concept.  This was your document; I need for you to explain what it is so I can help make your job easier.  I already know how to do my job.  THIS IS FOR YOU!!!! I’m glad no one saw me rolling my eyes because if they had they would have seen I was thinking ‘Does this heifer thinks I’m an idiot?’  And don’t pass the buck!  I know where and to whom I need to go to get the information I need, so don’t pass me off thinking you are doing me a favor.  I want the information from you which is why I set up a meeting with you.  I needed a BIG woosai after that one.  Note to self… don’t ask her for shit else!  Why is my ketchup being rationed at the Wendy’s?  You asked me how many I said 5 and then still only gave me 3.  So now I gotta be like no but I need 2 more!!  I know my fry to ketchup packet ratio which is why I am glad mostly everybody went back to the regular little packets.  That little dip bowl thing that was supposed to equal 2 (or was it 3?) always threw me off.  I never got my ratio right with those things.  The also never give me enough at Dunkin Donuts.  They scream IT’S IN THE BAG… yes but I need 2 more.  If you want me to buy the damn hash browns, I need the proper amount of ketchup.  Am I really going clean off about ketchup?!?!  Well it’s a necessary food item and I feel deprived when I don’t get enough which is why I checked my frig at least 10 times this weekend and for the life of me I did not understand why there was no ketchup in there!! As much as I want to blame my brother, because ALL the beer went mysteriously missing went he stayed with the roommate 2 weeks ago, maybe I really did use it up?  Nah it was him…  I do have a new favorite condiment, the sweet and spicy (almost like the sweet heat sauce from Popeye’s which turns if you leave it in the car too long) from Trader Joes.  They lure me in with the free sample and I ALWAYS seem to buy whatever they are peddling back there.  So they had this scallion pie with the sweet spicy sauce.  It was so good!!  So I bought both things!

Today has been a bust.  I can’t blame it on not getting enough sleep because I did, it’s just a case of the Mondays.  And unfortunately I am watching the clock right now… and looking at the chick whose weave needs to be tightened : /

Tuesday

So I’m convince the chick with the f’up weave sensed her weave was amok so she took it out and got her hur did and it looks good!!  I can’t go up to her and be like I’m so glad you took that fucked up weave out yo head… cause you know womens are sensitive about hur and she might drop kick me!!

Wednesday

I have been on an obnoxious snack binge followed soon by my getting my shit together binge cause I just so have to!!  But the lemon Oreos that I just about ate the entire package last night, the spicy chili Doritos that I just inhaled, the Cheetos I inhaled the other day… I know I know… I need to do better.  I HAVE to do better.  We just gonna blame the hormones and the fact that I’m over 40 and them bitches are changing.  My cravings used to just be chocolate.  Now it’s something a lil salty, something a lil spicy, still chocolate but also everything in between.  So like there was a cake for a team that sits near me and granted I don’t even know whose birthday it was but I STILL feel some kinda way that they didn’t cut me a piece a of cake.  Both random and irrational!  I’m only friendly with 1 of the people on that team and he wasn’t in charge of the cake.  I gotta make more work friends so I can get ALL the cake!  Because that is what life is all about after all!!Speaking of birthdays I need to call and sing loudly and off key to my little baby cousin who I am convinced she was born on the 20^th although every year she tells me she was born on the 25^th but I was there ( I mean I was 6) but I remember!  Her 2 older brothers and I were at our grandmother’s house for a sleep over.  Now that I think about it, why was I there?  Maybe my parents were at the hospital too??  Or maybe I just loved her so much between both grandmother’s I was always over 1 of their houses.  And so then she made the announcement that my aunt had a girl and I was SOOO excited!!  I was like finaFREAKINGly somebody had a girl so I don’t have to play stupid Bruce Lee (or Bruce Live or what was the black karate dudes name?? JIM KELLY (and yes I did just type black karate dude in Google LOL)) karate!!!  And she will want to play with me unlike the older girl cousins and the sister (LOL).  But she never really grew up (well in my mind… which I guess is the same way the older girls treated me) until she was out of college and by then she moved to another city.  But I digress… It is her birthday and I need to call her!!

And then general random…

So the other day a Kelly Price song came on and I, per my usual, jammed along and attempted to sing lowly along (cause you know I’m at work in Cube Nation) and then something occurred to me, why did I stop liking her?  Because she acted ugly on one of those dumb reality shows?  I mean do you write someone off completely when they act a certain way which might not even be who they really are but to get more air time and more whatever they act like an ass?  I mean why is it that ‘we’ want to know so much about these people and then when we learn it we don’t like it and then they get penalized?  So I have made a resolution, I am not going to support any show that does not uplift black women, OR any women for that matter!!  I like Kelly Price A LOT and I have all of her cd’s except the Christmas one, but my sister has that one I think.  I wrote a blog about how I was so happy she finally came out with her new cd back in 2011 (now I just tried to find it and got lost in the randomness that was 2011!!).  So I just got her new cd.  I’m sure it’s good because her voice is AMAZING!!  SO yeah there’s that!!

I got so much random on my mind... I REFUSE TO LOSE!!!

so like I wrote this a few weeks ago and clearly I suck at uploading stuff...

We already know I am not feeling this cube nation situation I am in right now.  And this is for the chick I don’t even know (cause I honestly don’t know no one over here) who talks on her phone at a volume of 8.5 outta 10 ALL THE TIME what you won’t do it give me and my co-worker a side eye when he is giving me instruction.  He speaks at a volume of .5 so he’s not being too loud so GTFOH before I snatch your bad red boxed colored hair with your kmart shoes and socks on!!

See this is what I be thinking, It’s not nice and I can’t say it out loud.  I mean I COULD but not really.  I have given a few looks to this chick and she has about no more times before she gets the wrath of RANDOM CHICK!!  And I’m pms’ing!!?  LBJ be a fence all around her!!

Selma

This is a must see.  It was a little outside of my lifetime, but it is well within my mother’s lifetime and that’s who I took.  I need for all of my nieces, nephews and little cousins to see this movie.  It is very relevant and a good representation of what was going on at that time.  People fought, marched, got hurt and killed for our rights as black folks to vote.  All of this struggle and you still had grown people (Tyler Perry was one such person…) just register to vote so that they could vote for Obama.  WHAT?!?!  How stupid is that? There are so many issues that you must weigh in on at a local level, at a state level and you and your dumb ass just wants to vote for the 1^st black President?!?  I mean I guess it’s admirable, cause he won both elections (he said so in the SOTU address the other night) so now does this mean we can’t be bothered to come out to vote? And back on point, this movie lets you see what was going on, in the south where Jim Crow was in place to make it hard.  It was like there was a constitution that governed the USA, but then there were a separate set of rules that only applied below the Mason Dixon line. The whole civil rights movement was a big deal.  It was interesting to see that some people disagreed with MLK and how things were handled with the movement.  I think it showed these people as people, including the president and J. Edgar Hoover who WE KNOW was instrumental in keeping tabs on MLK and Malcolm and any person who they deemed a threat. 

Dark Girls and Light Girls

There was a documentary a few years ago called ‘Dark Girls’ and now as a follow up I guess there is one called ‘Light Girls’.  Is this still a thing?  Am I missing the point and boat?  In 2015 is this really the conversation we need to be having?  I mean I just don’t know.  I only saw a little of Dark Girls, mainly because I kept missing it and then the new one Light Girls felt like it was all over the place.  They talked about skin bleaching, which included Asian women, and then people in the Caribbean how it is there.  I am attempting to watch it now so maybe I will have more thoughts.

Empire

This is a new show on Fox.  I will start by saying I do like the show.  I am very interested to seeing how everything plays out and in general it is a good story line.  But I haz questions… First off I am still trying to get the ages of the boys together.  The baby was at least 1 or 2 when Cookie went to jail OR was he older?  The middle boy was maybe 4 or 5 and the oldest was 7 because that’s just a good round age.  So after 17 years of Cookie being in jail, Hakeem is 18/19 AND he is doing a whole lotta underage drinking… ijs.  Jamal is like 21/22 and that is about the right age for a college student.  And then the oldest is 24 which is kinda young to be all married and what not.  So there is that.  Next question WHAT THE HECK REALLY HAPPENED?  We still haven’t seen the whole story. Why did Lucious… why is his name Lucious?!?!... divorce Cookie??  And since I am on the name Lucious which is such an OLD name, I mean why his name couldn’t be Mark? Or Sam? And the language in this here show at times sounds like it is not in the present but a throwback show.  So who uses sissy these days?  To call someone it OR to refer to yourself as one is not really a now kinda thing.  When Jamal called himself a sissy I was like really?  Queen, maybe but sissy nah.  Lee Daniel you got that one wrong.  There were a few other things I can’t remember in those 1^st 2 episodes BUT that 3^rd episode when Lucious said ‘Don’t stand there being COUNTRY DUMB’ I almost fell out the bed.  I was like Did that fool just say Country Dumb?!?!  That was something that I felt like my very southern grandmother would say, or any of her very southern cousins would say.  COUNTRY DUMB!!  I just can’t with that one.  And then why does Lucious have a perm?  I get why Cookie still looks like she is living in the past, she been in jail!!  And why did Bunky wear that big old dookie chain?  Why was he stuck? Well he dead now, but still.

I’m watching more of this documentary and while I’m sure they did a good job, I have decided I don’t the documentary format.  It just feels like it is all over the place and then I always want more. 

 And then I wrote this this week...

Petty

I can be really petty sometimes… I mean MOST TIMES and I really have to have a conversation with myself about just how petty I can be.  It’s even bad when other join in the petty fest.  But when we both can recognize that it’s petty then it really negates the pettiness, right?  No probably not.  That Is really flawed logic right there.  But I feel like I need to put that disclaimer out there sometimes.

So you ever see someone, in this case a woman and she is so unattractive but in your mind you are fixing her up?  There is this one woman who I just get stuck on what she needs to do to look better.  Now I have no idea what she thinks of herself, but it really can’t be much.  I just want to comb her hair, I think she has a relaxer, and get it out of struggle mode. Get it cut into a nice style.  Then I want to take her to the MAC counter.  We’ll start with concealer for the blemishes, because I have seen her pick at her face, then a little foundation and then just some gloss.  I’m not talking major changes here just small ones.  I mean anyone can go crazy at the MAC counter, but a little lip gloss/lipstick aint never hurt no one.  I remember when I used to work from home, my aunt told me to get up, shower, and put on some lipstick.  I guess I was supposed to work nekkid, she didn’t say nothing about clothes LOL.  But just doing that can make a woman feel better. 

There was this guy who I initially thought was handsome and then he opened his mouth.  **loud sigh** AND it wasn't even the teeth cause that can be a major turn off.  He just sounded stupid and him trying to come off as charming was really silly and corny.  And the more he spoke the more I wanted to be like STFU!!! Just close your mouth young man!! Cause even though you are clearly older than me, you sound like a little boy.

There is this woman here who looks like an oompa loompa.  I keep trying to not stare and I actually rode the elevator with her this morning.  She’s not orange but she does have these stupid curls on the sides of her head.  I need to tapper them. Her features are just hard and I cannot figure out what she needs, you know cause I’m such an expert.

There is little boy I keep trying not to stare at cause him so pretty.  I don’t think we are on the same team and that is a horrible stereotype to think just cause he’s pretty he has to be the gay, and you know not that anything is wrong with that.  He’s also very young.  OR maybe I’m just getting older and every man looks extra young these days.  Dudes in my age range are not very appealing to me.  This is an ongoing conversation I’m having with a few girlfriends.  Do we look that good or do these men just look that bad?!?

I got my hair braided last week for this past weekend.  Even though I can get my hair together on any given day, trying to think about doing it on vacation is just too much.  And then the 1^st curly fro I see I’m like AAWWW MAN… I coulda did that!!  So I got it cornrowed up into this bun thing.  It is in the vicinity of the picture I showed the lady who braided it, so that’s always good.  But I’ve been scratching up under it and it trying to pat it back down into place.  So really it’s a toupee!! She stuck a bazillion pins straight and bobby and I have been taking them out.  Slowly but surely my lil toupee is gonna fall right on off!!

Young lady, I know you wanna rock the lashes, but you have to blend them.  You can’t just go to the walgreens, slap them things on and think your good!! NO ma’am!! BLEND with some mascara… 

So if you know you are going to be like a LONG ass time in the bathroom doing lots of things you need to do of a bodily excretion nature, wouldn’t you try to find a bathroom a little further from your desk?  I mean I WOULD!!  It is pretty obvious when you go, but I ‘found’ that the bathroom in the basement is quite private and if I lock my computer and take my phone (or notebook… you know whatever works) it looks like I am actually doing work and not going to take a dump. LOL

See just PETTY!!

So I have been writing myself silly and then I think my job done turned something off so I can’t get to the blogger site.  At first they turned off anything that had a zip drive.  And they shut everything down that had an ssn… even your own.  SO I guess I need to stop trying to access the site because eI feel like my name is being pinged somewhere LOL
