Hanging out & working at the atp tennis match that's in town this week.

This shirt is funny.

Blah day on the bus while randomly thinking...
What's up with ppl in my circle getting engaged? A part of me's happy the other part feeling envious/left out. Jealous perhaps?

Impatience is a mother! I'm feeling all lame that i'm not working in the marketing field...yet. Thought about throwing my resume in the internship ring at the pr firm i do street team work for. Will they take a post grad?

Those bums!

Myspace deleted my account! I heard that their site was down the other day, who knows. Then again I may have done something against the rules or something. I doubt it, because there are weirdos on there looking for minors, there's not much - if anything - that can top that.

Here's what my boredom the last two nights resulted in...

Random Rants to Kick off the Weekend

I'm extra glad its Friday and all, considering I had a mini vacation of sorts to celebrate the 2nd and the 4th and 7/5 just for the hell of it but right when I was ready to kick off yet another weekend, little stuff started to piss me the hell off. Yea they say not to sweat the small stuff but when the small stuff builds up one after the other, there's no stopping it, so hence, my random rants for today.

1. It may be the hidden old fart in me, but why are (some) kids today so rowdy and clueless? Or maybe its just the ones that I live around. They have no disrespect for other people's property, and haven't figured out that they're not made of rubber and that cars can hurt them. It takes them 10 years just to move out of the street.

2. Why is it that when you try to block a person out of your life that you can't stand, why they have to appear when you get a good hang of it?
I just happen to see a guy I was fond of some months back on my way home from work today. That was a long 10 minutes just knowing he was breathing the same air that I was. Really I'm just mad that he called me goofy but he didn't check the mirror first; he ceased talking to me over some missing text messages. and took the time and breath to tell my cousin (his neighbor) that I'm goofy, knowing that she was gonna tell our other cousin, and then my close friend from high school, who all know him. Hey, I got his goofy. He needs a better reason than that! Looser.

3. Why did the rest of my lunch get thrown out the break room fridge? I should have labeled it better.
But it was a ruben sandwich I couldn't finish at lunch and took extra effort to remember to pick up before my shift was over. They cleaned out the fridge around 4pm, and I met my disappointment at around 4:55pm. *sniff* That sandwich was real good.

4. What the hell is wrong with my city?
Positivity went out the window with the 2001 riots. My friend D is exactly right to list that she's from "Riot City, OH" on her myspace page. Seriously, I need to put back some money to get away from here for a minute (for grad school maybe), see some other city, or country for that matter. J'adore (Montreal) Quebec!

Through all of this crap, the bottom line is that it's Friday and I have the whole weekend to look forward to, thank goodness.

This would be my dream apartment. I took this while out on lunch.

It's my birthday, yaay!

Yep folks, its that time of year again! at 8:53 am it will be official, another year added to my age :) I created this image featuring an image of Tiearra Mari to celebrate.


p.s. according to my blogger dashboard, this is my 400th post on this blog! woo hoo!

Everybody meet Mr. Me Too

I've this song on repeat since I upoaded it on my ipod (I've finally moved over to the dark side, lol). Hell, I even have it as my text message ringer! The beat is crazy, the Neptunes have done it again!

Updates and Boredom

I got bored this evening and made this thing to the left using Paint Shop pro and the Busta Rhymes psd I got from this site. It's hot off the presses 5 minutes ago.

I thought about changing the title of this site to something else. Right now "Speak Now" is in the running, along with "Daily Pill". The second one wouldn't work because sporadic postings don't really count as daily. A good friend of mines has titled his blog the same. I've been using "Random Thoughts" since I created this account in 2001. Maybe it's time to pass on the RT torch and make an upgrade.

Now as far as the "life updates" that guy I mentioned in a past post that I'm getting to know, he's on the backburner for now. I believe he still has some hangups about a past relationship and in turn thinks of me as suspect, which bothers me plenty. Plus he's ignored my text messages and phone calls, also - not a good look. He's a nice guy but like everyone that's been in a awful relationship (myself included), you have to take time for yourself in order to heal and let that shit go. I was near completion of my healing process when I met this guy too, so I was definately open for something new. Well, its hard to get the point across to him to say that I'm a decent catch (not trying to be cocky or anything, just real), and that I can't wait around forever, which I am not doing. I'm getting to know another guy now that doesn't have any hangups so far. He's funny and he can sing too! I'm a sucker for singers. :)

Work is steady but could be full-time with benefits. I'm looking to get hired on with a communications company in the area that does sports and entertainment promotions. I'm looking to do some street team & promo work with my ppl DDB so this would be a launching pad to some PAID experience and some great connects in the city by working for this communications company. I'm meeting with the coordinator next week, wish me luck! I'm also taking a chance of applying for a higher level PT postition at the lib. This is only the second time in the 10 months that I've been there that I've applied for something internally. Having the "don't rock the boat" mentality since I've been hired there has only allowed me to find PT work that surrounds my base schedule. Clear Channel has also received my info too. Between these and the offer to work a few weeks again at the Cincinnati State Bookstore have been keeping me focused but worried. Worst case scenario would be that I don't receive any responses. I rather not think about that.

I'm a Van Hunt fan now...

He was performing at Bogart's last night and my buddy Ben invited me. Really I was taking a risk with this one, cuz I heard of Van Hunt but was not familiar with his music. He was featured on MTV a few years ago when his song "Dust" came out. Really they need to give him more exposure, he can put on a great live show! It's hard for me to classify his style but its rock mixed with r&b, and soul. It just good live music. It's a good escape from the repeats on the radio, although they're infectiously catchy. infectiously, oooh a big word!

My groupie acting ass was hoopin and hollering the whole time and by buddy Ben couldn't stop dancing. But then again, he's a dancer. We had a good time and to top it off Van Hunt was signing autographs and taking pics after the set. That's how I got this one (thank you B!) and my buddy got his poster signed. Plus when I got my ticket signed, of course I had to spell out my name to him. And he pronounced it correctly on the first try! That made my night! I couldn't stop mentioning it to Ben the rest of the time afterwards. We were so hyped up for it to be a rainy night, it was practically wrong.

All I need to do now is go and cop his first album and catch up. His second one is out now too called "On the Jungle Floor". Go and take a listen to something new! Lil' Jon, T.I. and Bubba Sparxxx will be on the radio (again) tomorrow.

This shameless Van Hunt plug has been brought to you by yours truly at RT :)
Edit: Did I mention he's from Ohio??? It's true!

Once Upon a Time...

I had time to keep up with this blog. That was long ago, like when I began this thing (2001!) Wow, all those rants about nothing (not really). I've actually been having some somethings brewing lately which has kept me away from posting until now, but it's good, or will be. Here's the shortlist, in random order.

1. I'm on myspace now. Yeah, I mentioned that in the other post. I guess its not addicted yet, but I have sent out a few friend requests today, some to actual real life friends, wow! I'm just trying to network with artists on the flipside of things. My dream is to promote music. One of these days that's gonna be a reality, and I'll blog about that too.

2. I'm dating...I guess. While I'm attempting to keep him anon for now, and not to really name and claim much of anything these days, since relationships can be so fickle, its safe to say that I'm dating again. I'll say this much about the guy: he's 25, a childhood friend of one of my HS friends, I met him in the club (of all places to meet a decent person), and has been quite a gentleman thus far since I've been getting to know him. We've been out twice already, and planning to hang out this Wednesday. Neither one of us is trying to jump into anything, but hanging with him has been quite - refreshing. Usually "refreshing" is not a word that I would use about a guy...this is new. I think I'm being so candid that I'm scaring myself, I'll just stop here with all that.

3. I thought I had a third event to list, but I forgot it. It'll come to me later. :)

"New" Internet Crack

I'm just now jumping on the bandwagon:
Find me on MySpace!

Really, I'm on there for two reasons:
1. Promoting my friends: DDB (they're on soundclick too) & Kesha B
2. Promoting my marketing services

Gotta get exposure somehow. It seems like half the world is on there, so why not?! But I'm still lingering around here blogging here and there when I'm indoors or hiding from people. :)
