Hello, It's Me Again. I Kinda Live Here

Sometimes I get so flustered by situations. I'm still in training, and nearly everybody's got a cold. A lot of hacking and coughing going on. One guy coughed so much his face was R-E-D. I thought he was going to fall out. The cough was bad. He should have that checked out. Someone rtold him to have it checked out, but I doubt he did.

Training is going as well as expected. What can I say, sometimes learning can be very dry. Sometimes its overwhelming, and rather annoying. Heck, sometime I really learn things, so I guess that's par for the course.

My brother brought a puppy home. Rotwiler (so mispelled). I don't know how long he's keeping it, since my cat will more likely hate it. The puppy is a cute as hell. I said her name was Buscuit, or Chewie (after Chewbacca). If I was serious, I'd name her after a singer, like I did with my cat, Maxwell. Chewie is a grat name though. I'm gonna save that one. I'm gonna have a wookie cat one day. Maxie's too spoiled to share with another cat. May have to change that one day.

Had an incling to work on my fiction writing again. Will do more of that later this week-end.

Icy Roads and Accidents

Today the roads were extra special icy. My car was frozen over. I warmed it up and headed on the road. Drove slow, and saw a car wreck. It slid so out of a control and lost a tire. I felt for the driver. They were speeding, and could not stop when the needed to. Thank God I was going slow. That could have been me. There were many accidents on the road today. Too many. Over 80 accidents today.

I'm fine. I went to work, and I sat in a room where the AC was on. LOL It was so cold. How could I concertrate. That's horrible.

Hello Happy After Christmas

It's a good day. I cooked dinner yesterday. No complaints about the food. No visitors either. That's a great thing. We're having leftovers today. I made a meatload, salad, and wild rice. The salad was off the chain. I'm glad I made it instead of buying frozen vegies and making them. Life is good.

Gottta still e-mail som pals, so they can know I'mn alive.

Changes/Happy Holidays

I've been so busy I haven't written like I should. i did want to put in a holiday post. At least to wish all a happy holiday. Working at verizon has been great so far. I'm still intraining, but I realized my position is very much like a library assistant (former job). I do have to look up info, if people request things, and I also have to use a lot of courtesy. It should be worthwhile. At least the pay is wort all the time spent.

I need to e-mail a few pals, and wish them a happy holiday.

Sent my portfolio off to graduate school, so its just a waiting period now. I feel great about my success, so I can't see myself failing. I want to remain confidant about that.

Anybody remember "Cant' Let Go" by Mariah Carey. Its on my iTunes. I love that song. It's so sad, but I still love it.

A couple of people at work have two faces. Seen it a couple of days ago. Better keep my eye on that. Don't want to say anything around them & get the grapevine going.

Oh, to all Happy Holidays!!!!! Enjoy yourself.

--Stacy

Finals are done

I am Free. Will Write more when time permits, but I wanted to say that. Happy holidays.

Busier than Usual

Bombed my Flash final. Man, that sucked so bad. I'm sure I passed, but the final was rough on me. I positively hate not being on top of my game. I need to rest from classes. Too many irons in the fire. I'm taking next semester off.

Love working at Verizon. I'm learning a lot, and I want to keep it up. Somebody told me I sound very happy to them, and I do. The thought of working towards a beeter life inspire me. Its good to work with happy people. I love that. You don't always get that when working with people.

Got some leftover stuff to do with Quark. I got a newsletter to complete. Lo and behold, after work I took my fool self to TTC to use the computer lab. Those bastrads close at 5:00PM. LOL such a waste of gass. I don't like wasting gass, it's sooooo expensive. Traffic was awful. So many people looking at a wreck when they should be focused on who's in front of them.

Hopefully things will be fine when I visit TTC tomorrow. Hell, I open the lab tomorrow (last day). I will get my work completed. I will also get my portfolio burned tomorrow. I need to tweek it a little befre I get it all done.

I got my New Job, or Training Day

I'm so busy. Got my training, and I'm enjoying it. I have spent less time at the computer. Man, It's so crazy, but in a good way. A couple of former co-workes have yet to speak to me. I knew one of them berfore they got their job. I had to train her, and now I don't warrant much. The hell with 'em. LOL

Need to work on my final;s, whic are due soon. Man am I tired. LOL I got a lot of work to do. I can do it if I sit down and make the time. I willo start tomnorrow evening, and then work this Friday.

I'm going to be soon, so I hope to write more, and to keep this up. I'm very excited.

Can I Stay With You....Relax, It's just a Song

I love that song. it's by karyn White. Whatever happened to her. I love my iPod, since I use it all the time. On vaction I will add new songs to the fold. it's gonna be so rich, like a red velvet cake. Mmmmmm... red velvet. i'm rambling, but I did want to put some quality time in here.

Two days left of working at the RSSL. I'll be free. I am so ready for the change. Gotta love this stuff, where I can do what I need. Ain't that cool. Gotta go make the world safe for lab goers now, so, bye bye.

I Wrote More for The Morning

I decided I needed to write something. I'm so into not having drama at my job, but a couple of people haven't spoke to me at all. not even an e-mail. i suppose they may be upset tto talk to me, but I thought they would. Old co-worker came back to work part-time (I don't know how that works). She seems to be fine, but she still dislikes another co-worker. Not wanting any part of the bashing, I tried to do my work, and let her vent. Maybe she needed to get all that anger out. After that things were fine.

A friend told me that the reason people were being stand-offish is that they'll have to do their work now. LOL. I know my job, but was I that efficent? LOL I got this new guy to train. I hope he's sharp, 'cause he's got three days to ask me for whatever. I must have trained 3-4 people for the Circulation position. He seems a little on the "ungrasping" side. If I could trin the last person, non computer savy, no-confidance, then he shouldn't be too hard to train.

Listening to Total (Trippin). My change the song. I'm not feeling the song. Switched to "Cant U See?" Much better song.

Gotta turn some storyboards for a cartooon for my Flash class. My instructor says they can be as rough as we want to. That';s good, cause they're gonna be as rough as hell. LOL

I'm Leaving the Library in Three Days

Yes, it's true, I will leave the library in three days. I did my last Sunday yesterday. My family laughed at me. They think I'll be restless on the week-ends, since I've got them as free time now. LOL Such is life.

Didn't do as much writing as I'd like to do, been busy finishing up my portfolio. It's been something of a slow process. Not bad for something that's due like in Febuary. I wanted it to be done by December. I can mail it off by January, if need be. That's just the way I need for things to go down.

I'm Late, What's New.

If posting was money, I'd be broke. LOL. I didn't do squat for my space. it's a shame. Sometimes I get distracted. That's nothing new. What's new is the job I just got. I'm a verizon employee now. Loving it. better pay with benefts.

Got some new songs from iTunes. Most notably is "Lady Marmelade" by Labelle. The original is the hottest version. Benn singing that for a while. Bought Evanescence's Fallen over the week end. Loving this CD. I'm so turned on my the gothic touch of the music. it inspires me to be creative.

There, I wrote a paragraph. I need to do this tomorrow.

Oh, saw Gladiator last week-end. Hadn't seen it in a while. very good movie. I was all caught up in it again. Want to watch Van Helsing again for some reason. Love that movie.

Another Day, but Better

It's another long day of work with more work, but what the hell, ya gotta do things to get somewhere. Feel a need to draw a lot lately. Hadn't felt that way in a while. it must have to do with me getting a new JOB!!!! A cloud has lifted, in the sense that I needed something fresh to challenge me. Things were getting a lot stale with me and I needed that change.

Feel sleepy. Went to Starbuks again for a vanilla latte. I needed it. They give me a proper boost. Why doesn't root beer do that?

Talked with some friends via e-mail. They seem to be cool and all, and doing well.

I F**ked Up my Flash project

I was so lazy. I should have done more. Of course, I'm beating myself up now for this mess, but I really did a crappy project. I'm beating myself up now, but damn. My lovely A average is now a C, of that I'm sure.

I could go to sleep right now. LOL. Me sleepy. Not cool

Designing a Swimsuit Web Page

Man, I've been busy. Most importantly, I have to design a web page for class (Flash), and I need to get cracking. I got all the photographs I will need. LOL. Swimsuits are tricky. I only need some, and not all. Now I have to resize them in Photoshop to get better consistancy.

The design will take me a couple of hours. The buttons will be custom. I gotta make sure all the rule apply to this one, or I am screwed. LOL I want a good grade on this.

Got myself a new job. Bye bye library. It's been a pleasure, but I gotta go. I'm gonna miss my student workers. They are the bomb.

Niece came by yesterday. Was at the lab, so I missed her. I'm saddened by that. I bet she's all grown now. The little spud is taller, and a sweetheart. It's nice to see happy kids.

I'm ending on that note, because there are things that won't get done if I keep chattering. See ya soon.

Stressed but Blessed-You Decide

OMG!!! It's been an extended week-end of mess. I've been suffereing from killer migrnes ththis week. of course, the fact that I have 2 jobs, and take college courses have something majorly to do with that. Thee migranes were increasing in lenght. I was nautious, and I wasn't thinking proper. After classes, I called in sick at the library, lest I get worse. It proved to be the right thing, as I was tired, and rested for the rest of the night. I needed that.

It's Been A Few Days Since...

Like the title says, I've been slacking off, or so it appears. Just had a lot to do. Slaved over homework. Today I hate my Quark assignments, and Flash has redeemed itself a little, in my eyes.

Quark is ok, but I really am bored. BORED No phots to manipulate, just text. LOTS of text. I'm BORED. LOL. I'm losing interest, and I have to purt a couple of these projects into the portfolio.

Learned to add Flash elements to Dreamweaver html. That's friggin awesome. I just have two chapers left in the Flash book. Hope the go well.

Here's to progress, and praying Quark will get better.

Changes We Know and Love

Life has placed me through some changes, and thoses changes are somewhat irritating at the moment. As my nosy co-worker changes shifts, I am saddled with a new co-worker. They just pulled this guy from a different dept, and placed him with me. Not to begrudge his opportunities to "advance" (I have to be honest, our job is dead end), but I'm on the apprehensive side about working with him. he's grouchy, blunt, and gets fustrated waaaaay to easy. All I hear is a series of "damn!'s" comming my way, and it's over the simple stuff. Last night he got pissed 'cause someone asked him to do something that was like he used to do in the Shelving Dept. I told him Circulation does a little of everything. That didn't seem to translate too well for him. I think he was insulted.

Hopefully things will get better, and I'll be less cautious around him. Tomorrow, he'll be flying the evening shift solo. I hope he does well. if not, then you'll hear about it in another post. LOL

I Am Tired, But I Move On

I am tired, but tonight is another night. I have to keep up my strenght, so I can get home in one piece. LOL

Some of my students want to quit their jobs. I am dismayed, but these students feel like they are at the short end of the stick. They would like to feel like they are not the source of the library's problems. As a whole, I think we the staff fail them. As an individual, there is only so much I can give, without it getting obnoxious.

Annoyed with one co-worker who may have told all of the students gripe to the big boss. If she'd stop trying to please him, she'd be ok. Keep a few things inside. Really.

Took a Few Days Off, but Now I'm Back

I am happy to be posting again. Had to take a few days off from work. it helped me get centered again. The lab seems to have printer problems today. E-mailed the boss about that. Now it's a wait and see, when the IT people pop in and handle their biz.

Talked to an old friend, who was really a sweetheart. I miss being around her. She's smart and cool, so it's not a waste of time. We talked, and talked, and had fun.

DGA has their meeting today, but I can't leave the lab, as fun as that may seem, esp. when the computers are breaking down on me. LOL. People will be asking for a lab assitant by name!!!!!

Finished my Flash homework today. I also had to submit a topic for web design. I'll be making a web page in Flash for the rest of the month. Forgot when its due.

It's My Week-End Baby!!!!!

Someone asked me if I knew about bloggers. Of course I did, but I didn't give too much away. Can't have him popping his nose in my spot. LOL He heard some obnoxious blog rumors about something. Didn't know what the name of his game was.

Library brain trust decided it was a good idea to close the 3rd floor, so no one could get to the books, as Special Collections movied their stuff to the new library. Their wise and great decision was for Circulation Staff should retireve the books people need. These students only need to research books for their papers. That means at least ten books minimum. There are only 2 staffers at night. The librian at his desk, didn't seem like he was getting off of nothing. Kinda leaves that bitter taste in my mouth.

Well, I'm taking a few days off. So they can move 'till their hearts con'tent. I won;t be here. LOL I suppose it won't be an efficent idea when the brain trust has to do the legwork. Dummies.

It's Thursday

I love Thursdays. I live for Thursdays. Why? "cause I get to sleep late on Fridays. LOL. I have extra energy on Thursdays 'cause I know I have all this free time tomorrow. Ususaly I designate Friday as the day to work on my graduate portfolio. I will do that, and some grocery shopping.

Later this month, I need to buy some shoes. I had these current ones too long. They're comfortable, but they gotta go as my daily foot wear. Gotta get some new hats. The ones I have are on the tired side. That means it's time for some new ones.

I have a Flsh project I ned to do this week-end. i also have a Quark project to complete. Hopefully I'll get it all done.

Spent about 7 mins. Outside. It's nice and warm out there. Earlier it was chilly. It's like living in Orlando again. Nice and warm in the sun. Good and freezing at night. LOL At least in the fall/winter times.

Man Do These Projects Get Ya

The animated poem is done, and I hated it last night. Took the file with me to the lab, and redid the thing frames at a time. A lot of copy/paste action, which extended the time proper. Got the music timed with the stop and start buttons. I felt good about that. LOL

I'm beat. I'm ready for bed. Just had to share my completetion. # days of work on one poem.

Almost Time for a Nap

nearly fell asleep in the lab again. LOL I walked out to take a breather. it did some good. You know when I get home, I'm taking a nap. I need some sleep. At least 30 mins of it.

I get silly when I don't get enough rest, and this Flash project needs to be completed tonight, so i guess I'll make myself stay awake tonight.

Busy, Busy, Busy, and Tired of it Too.

Man, I have an animated poem to complete. it took me all day to figure out I could animate each staza seperately, and import them into the title page. I felt such great relief to get one part of the material done.

Now, I have to put the ActionScript fuctions on the Flash movie tonight. I also have to add some music to my poem. This will keep me busy unto the wee hours, but I will get it done. All that will be left for Wedbesday, is to tweak the project, and turn it in. Gotta love hard work.

Had to help co-worker with letter to the students concerning behavior at the desk. Don't know if it helps, but tweaking the letter to praise their good work in addition to any problems we may have with them seemed like the right thing to do. I didn't want the letter to seem like we're blaming students for all that goes wrong at the desk.

Gotta go back 2 work. Gotta lab to run, for now.

Today is OK

Did my best to be up on time, which I was. Got to the library with ten mins to spare. I'm pleased with that. I am not pleased with the sinus pressure I've been feeling of late. My head hurts like crazy. I don't want the pain. Whne does my relief come in? I'm being a big baby, of course, so I suppose the time will fly.

My brother mentioned how he hates working on Sundays, but I've done it so long. it's a standard. It's not as busy, sometimes more annoying than not, and I feel a little worn down due to my busy scheldue.

I feel like I want to go home though. I'm requesting a couple days off today. Why not, I'm going to need it. I do have the hours to use, so it's not all that terrible.

ActionScript is a Killer

I'm at the lab, doing what I do best, taking a break from ActionScript. LOL. I like Flash, but these lessons are on the rough side sometimes, and I need a break after each one. I think I'll go to my car, find some loose change, and get some chips. I need something to eat. Perhaps a burger or salad. Whichever one comes to mind when I leave.

I'm having a swell Saturday, since it's been non silly today. Yesterday I helped my mom with her flower beds. She bouth a head of kale, and some mulch, as well as some other flowers I forgot, but they were colorful, and pretty. She also bought some large pots so she could get some of her older plants transferred to a bigger pot. I had to use the hammer to breake the pot out of the original pot. That thing was nearly all root in there. To soften the dirt, I poured water all on the roots, then we transfered that sucker to the big pot. She added more dirt, and i poked the roots to get it to release the dirt it clung to. Ot was a struggle, but I got it done.

The mulch is red, and I wiped my brow, 'cause I was sweaty. My bro said it looked like I was bleading. I had to laugh. The sun, and gardening can be tough, but it was well worth it.

Well, it's back to the final part of chapter 12. Wish me luck (At least it's done before Monday.

Quark Drama & Other Tales

Of course, I got up, rolled out of bed, and went to my Quark (page layout software) class. Let me start by saying this program is very fustranting, in that getting the nuances down can feel impossible sometimes. Mel didn't come to class today, so i had no one to bounce solutions off. On top of that the Instructor was busy helping other students. Arrrrrgh! Excuse my Charlie Brown moment. This software is my Lucy with a football.

My co-worker saw me looking at bloggs. She was all nosy and shit. I kept it minimal, and didn't explain myself further. She's gonna get up all in the biz, if I let her. I may have to lay low with the entries. I do not like people all in my shit, especially when it doesn't concern them. I'm not writing about her... this time *wink*. LOL

I'm so sleepy, I'm gonna take another five min break outside to get some fresh air. I could fall to sleep at the terminal.

Identity Crisis

Here's this funny thing. Some people have been approaching me like they think I'm not a black man. Some people think I'm middle eastern, or at least foreign. I didn't think my look was so international. For the record I am black, born and raised in the US.

It's gotten people all curious and shit. Approaching me with a lot of questions, like "where I'm from" and stuff. It's not a terrible thing at all. I just noticed it more. Of course, I got some disparaging remarks from some people. Fuck 'em. LOL. Only the sensible people count.

It's Like That Now?

I am so tired. As susal, get up, open lab, finish Flas homework. I got fustrated with the "own my own" assignment. It made no sense, or I made no sense of it. I need to rest. that's why me poo brain ain't fuctioning. Other than that it's been pretty much straihgt forward of a day. listening to Toni Braxton this morning. She's ok. I love her music. That's cool.

The lab was empty for a while, but now there is one extra person here to do their work.

It was cold this morning. The past couple of days have been filled with fog in the morning and night. Today was just cold. I should of had a cup of coffie with me this moning. LOL. It was just so intense. Forgot to take my Claritn, and I know that was a big mistake. All I can say is that my sinuses are a bear to deal this. I need to get back into that game. I could place the box in my book bag.

Hopefully when I got to the library, all things will be calm and smooth. We're having a prblem with our students bringing guests to the desk. I asked them to excuse themselves before my supervisor gets involved. it went into one ear, and out the other. It's up to them, wheter they want things the easy way, or the hard way.

When i get home, I'm grabbing a bite to eat, then I'm taking a nap. Then it's to the library.

Up To my Eyeballs in Homework

Brought my laptop to class today, so I could finish my homework during my break. To my surprise, none of the outlets would accept my adapter. While working on my homework, my batteries died. I was so shocked. I was desperate, but had to wait to find a decent outlet. That pissed me off. I charged my batteries when I got home. Took a 30 min nap, and got up for work. Ate a cheeseburger in the car. It had too much mustard and ketchup on it. Waited in the lot for about 30 mins (so the meter maid wouldn't give me a freaking ticket (I was told as long as you're in your car, the college doesn't consider you "parked" and the lot isn't free 'til 4:00 PM. Get there early, or get no free parking)

Got to chapter 11 in my Flash book. "ActionScript Basics and Behaviors" is a LONG chapter. It's also pain staking. I have went through a couple of exercises at least twice. I still got a lot to finish. it's getting to an obnoxious state right now. I'll finish the last parts of the chapter tomorrow. I'm tired. This is rough.

Work has been insane. Last night, a couple was having sex in the basement bathrooms. The cleaning lady found them moaning and groaning. She thought the girl was having a rough bowel movement, until she realized there were two people in the damn stall. She said she was done cleaining for the night. I don't blame her. Not what I'd want to walk into. When i saw her this evening, i told her if she felt uncomfortable, she can call Public Saftey. She agreed she'll do that if the occasion happens again. Those bathrooms are insanely nasty. How could they do it in there. Differnt strokes for different folks (literally).

Today and yesterday, the rocks and minerals have been popular items of late. The supplies were limited, so we ran out quickly. One girl asked me, "what was she supposed to do" when i told her the supplies were out. I was like she should know better. have a test, come a week earlier, 'cause the supply can't meet demand. it happens every semester. People are looking at me like I'm supposed to supply them with all they need. The geology dept needs to give us more samples to give to students. This place is insane. It's been noisy as hell this week. I don't like that. I can't concerntrate like I need to. It just becomes sad, and unworthy.

Got some ideas for a new story, in my desire to write. It's on the back burner 'till I get some of work out of the way. Ahh, to be creative, and one being. I need to go to bed soon.

Oh, I talked to the grad school of my choice today. They're liking my GPA. i'm so pleased. I feel good tonight.

Be well.

It's a crazy day. I want to go home.

Walked into work all things were fine, until I missed an e-mail requesting a few things get done. D'oh. Did them, just later than usual. it rained for a few moments, complete with booming thunder. What?

Students holding fome politcal rally, complete with LOUD music and whoops. It looked like a frat party for about five minutes. God, I know this'll look bad.

Lousy other dept tried to steal an account away from us. It was a lowbrow plan. A weak plan. It didn't work. I'll fill that in later.

Got an override for a class I wanted. I'm about to write the professor back. I needed to write down some of the day, since chaos has found me. That sucks royaly.

Last night watch "Return of the Jedi" on DVD. The added effects/scenes weren't terrible, but I prefered the older version. Darth Vader is still the coolest villain around. LOL

Tonight I'm relaxing, and tomorrow moring I will finish the last components of my Flash homework. I hear chapter 11 is a bear to complete. It may take me two whole days. Awww man.

I'm still here

I had a restfull week-end that started with Friday. I was tired. Bone tired. I need a week worth of vacation time. I just don't have the energy proper. I'm pleased I'm not at my limits in od'ing things, but damn. I may have to find a way to get some sleep in.

Yesterday was my birthday. I just layed low. I love b-days, but like I said, I'm pooped. I did want to buy a new DVD this week-end, but I paid most of my bills. All the money seemed to come directly from my account like last night. LOL. One account has $23.00, and I'm sure my Earthlink account will take all but two of those dollars. The other account, I'm waiting for them to cash that check, so I'm not touching to much of that, although I should have $60.00 to spend as I please.

I filled my tank, and that cost me $20.00. Man that's heavy.

I have no idea what's for dinner, but I know I have to do something. Decisions, decisions.

Rolled Outta Bed This Morning

I was so tired. i couldn't get up. I rolled out of bed, fed my cat, freshened up, and came to open the computer lab. Man, I got to get some rest this week, 'for I fall out from exaustion. Maybe I'll sleep this week-end extra long. LOL

Havre to create an animated poem, so that's gonna be in my head for a while. I need to get that ball rolling so I can turn in a decent project. I'm enjoying the Flash class immensely. I think it's great. I hope to learn more and more.

Adventures in Homework

Spent some time getting the assignments for my Flash class done. Earlier, I was so sleepy, it was ridiculous. I really felt like I was going to fall alseep. I got a latte, which woked some. Sinuses acted up agin. I hate that, but sometimes you gotta go through the ish.

I hope to go tobed when I get home. Last night I stayed up longer than I should have. I feel good tonight, so I can at least be happy. Saved a dollar. This is funny, but I didn't know I had it. I pout it in the pocket of a shirt I just pulled out of closet. It's been there since spring. LOL I thought that was cool.

Back into the game

Did my homework this morning. Had an open lab to work in, so there was no distraction. The weather's pretty awful, as it rains and rains. More fallout from TS Jeanne. I think she's a trpical storm, and no longer a hurricane. It makes the weather awful. I hate driving in bad weather. Too many accidents can happen. You know?

Went to ork, and found all the software stripped off of the computer. I'll have to ask if it is ok to put it back on, since I was working with Dreamweaver to make a webpage for our students. I'm supposing there is an e-mail for me today about this. if not I'll go to my supervisor and ask him directly.

Got a mandate today that my students need to stop having friends at the desk. I warned them to limit their time, and to police themselves. Now that I have gotten complaints, I have to enforce a policy. I'm not worried. I feel i was fair, and gave ample warning.

Told Mom I'd take her to Starbucks, since she wants to try their drinks. She tried some other place and complained about the taste of their coffee. Such is live.

Be well.

I Got Sick, and A Storm Arises

I suppose I could say my cat ate my posts, but that didn't sound right either. A few days ago, I got sinus problems bad. I took Tavis. Of course it make me sleepy, and weak. I felt awful. I had no strenght. I went home, and slept. Felt slightly better the next day.

Worked on my portfolio this week-end. Got a lot of the spelling errors out. I'm proud of that. LOL. There were so many. I'm pleased with that.

Need to e-mail a couple of friends to see how they're doing. I don't want to be a tardy friend.

I feel a chage going on. I can't define it proper, but I know something's on the horizon for me. Call it instinct, but I'm feeling it.

Look Busy Everyone

Sinus attacks me, leaving in a stae of pain, as my face is lit with lotsa pain. Re-wrote a short story to keep myself awake last night. Tonight is homework night. All I have to do is prepare a logo to be animated, which meas design it tonight.

Tried the Vanilla Bean Today-Not Bad

Today is an ok day. Outside feels great. It's the right amont of sun and cool. Breezes are wonderful. Not a trace of Charleston's legendary humidity in sight. I hope I'm not jinxing it, but it's sooooo good. I almost want to work outside. LOL That's not possible today. Met a friend who was sick. That sucks, on a loveley day, no less. She will get better. Another friend keeps sending me chail letters, via e-mail. I hate chain letters, and will have to ask her to stop it, unless I block her from my account, which I don't want to do she's a good friend. Reson should prevail.

E-mailed another friend, to keep in contact with her. Worry a little too much about this one. I suppose that's what friends do, want to know how well each other are doing. It's one of those deals. She'll be fine.

Was supposed to do HW now, but I hate starting up sometimes, esecially when I know I can do this tonight, and tomorrow moring, as I have a lot of free computer time. I'd like to hang and chill for a while, and tonight, get down to business.

Added some songs to my library. These came from my cd collection, to my iTunes, so now I can listen to a lot of song s without having to changes the cd's out, over and over. I tell ya, I'm getting plenty of mileage out of my laptop. It's a good thing too.

Song of The Day: "Deeper and Deeper" by Madonna. Why: It's one of the may songs in my library, and it's the one that grabbed my ears. I wanna hear it again.

Blah Day

I did mmy ususal: Computer lab, and cleaned the bathroom. It needed some cleaing. Nothing's better that a clean bathroom, next to a clean kitchen. I need to clean my room now. LOL Gotta go rest my nerves.

I Am an Imaginary Man

Yesterday my ex-coworkers told everyone at the party that only her REAL friends showed up, so the rest don't matter. I suppose she was trying to invalidate Circ staff's existance. Perhaps it's necessary, as she enters a new chapter of her life. She's so full of shit. LOL I had to mention that. I suppose I don't exisit, so I'm a figment of my own imagination. LOL Whatever the case may be, hopefully this will be the last adventure about her.

Work was ok after that. I did a lot of processing, and corrected some other processing too. Got a java chip from Starbucks. I got the biggest one, which I should not have, sinc eht edamn thing was nearly too much. Ordered general Tso's chicked from chineses resturant for lunch. At the egroll, some of the chicken and rice. Will eat the rest today.

Have a strong feeling that I will be very succesfull at graduate school. I have a strong feeling all around. I feel blessed to be in this moment, and I am grateful for my good fortune.

Paid a Visit By Those Who Reside In Loserland

As if I don't have enough on my plate, I'm tired, want some caffine, and don't feel like dealing with other people. here comes my co-worker's "retirment" party. She isn't going anywhere, mind you. Her status is changing from full-time to part time. I'm hearing her talk about the Lord in her life has made things good, and her paving the way for other people at the college. If she were being sentimental, I'd chalk it up to a good thing. Too melodramtic, but good. However, what she says is in complete contrast to her actions and personality.

The co-worker is one of the most rudest, inconsiderate, digusting person I have ever worked with. Not ony did she abuse her co-workers, and her authority, she had no respect for anyone. She belched and farted in front of people, anytime she liked. She used the students as personal sevrants, and no one in the administration seemed to care, or notice. Now everyone is supposed to be happy because she's retiring? She's not going anywhere she'll be working on the week-ends. Oh, God, I'm gonna have to see her nasty ass on the week-ends? That's not cool with me. I have business to conduct, not to hear her fart and belch. As this trail blaser she claimed to be, she set many people back, by lying, cheating, putting her shit on others. I don't think that anyone needs to pretend they're something they are not. Well damn, ain't she a regular Harriet Tubman for all her hard work and dedication.

One the good note, I won't be able to make her party, and hear her acceptance speech for her Academy Award for best "Asshole in the Postion of Authority."

Hello, It's another workday

Went to work, no biggie. It was all blah, and blah. The ususal. The public saftey officer appears to have a cold. I'm not to much of a germphobe, but I don't want a nasty cold.

Today must be game day. Everyone wanted validation stickers. One person wanted the sticker, but had no card. Damn! What was I to validate. I guess logic fails when one is in the middle of a single-minded goal.

No class today, but I turned in my homework electronicly. Man, sometime its crazy to do all that work, espically since I was loafing when I did it. I could have finished earlier. I do have a weekend project to finish, so it's gonna be busy this week-end.

Worked on my portfolio, only to find out that some of my files were corrupted. Talk about pissed!!!!!! When I get free time, I have to check my laptop, to see if I have a copy of the files that got screwed up.

Tomorrow is my class day. The class is a little dry at the beginning, 'cause I'm taking baby steps. I'm passing the class, so I better not complain too much. Things have a way of changing on you unexpectedly.

No Latte's in The Immidate Future, as I am Broke.

No doubt about it, I can't budget to save my soul. I'm not crazy about that, seeing how I really want to save some money for my future. here is my goal until the end of the year. To say $25.00 from each paycheck. This is "no touch" money. I'll have to do this in order to have something for myself. The money will be used for my future graduate expenses, which will skyrocket one I start grad school. LOL I'm praying on this one, cause this is for my future, and I do want to succed at saving something, even if it's not that big of an amount, but the ened of the year.

Got a great dose of office politics to last 'till then end of the semester. As one retiree wants a party, the fact remains that she's not leaving. She's changing her status. All the years I've known her, she's not been the nicest person. She's been rude, dissrespctful, and digusting many of times. For the sake of not having to fight with her, people ignored her, but the admin want people to act like this is one happy occasion. Some people aren't feeling that, and have outright said they ain't pretending anymore, which I can respect. This has the potential to get ugly, because the admin acts like they don't know a thing about the hostility, and want to wax over things. We'll have to see.

Heard from a couple of friends I haven't seen in a long while, which is great. I love catching up. One friend, I sent an e-mail to, on the lark. Lo and behold, he responded. Good to hear from peeps, even if they are on the other side of the US. LOL. E-mail shortens the distance.

Worked more on my portfolio. I needed to get things done, so I managed to make some real corrections to the web pages. Designed, and printed out a cd booklett for the portfolio. I'm also using it as a portfolio piece, since it was a hot design. I promised myself three pages of a short story, so I'm off to do that. Tomorrow is homework day, so I better get cracking. LOL

Peace All,

Running my mouth

Met an old student who is doing quit successful. I'm very proud of her. She's in a master's program, so I know she's doing some hard work.

I'll be doing grad school soon, so I look forward to the challenge. Graphic Design will be all the challenge I need. LOL

Other than that, I'm playing catch up. I need to go process some things, which I may do later this night.

No More Latte's (At Least Not When I Get Up Early)

Hi all,

Drank a Vanallia Latte (grande), and it kept me up all night. That's not what I need, when I have to get up early. I'm so sorry I did that. I was wide open, LOL I also got up an hour earlier than I needed to. I'm just a bundle of energy. I've banned the Latte's from any day that I have to awaken, like early. I, however, will not say "no" to the Java Chip. it's good, and doesn't keep me awake.

Today I have a quiz to take. I should do fine. Did all my homework last night, so I don't have to panic about things being in on time. LOL. I'm such a worrier, for nothing. I do the work. The beginning of the semester always has a slow climb to comfort.

What I'm Listening To: "Naughty Girl" by Beyonce. Every now and then, it's good to hear the song.

Life is Good

Hello all,

Last night I suffered a nasty migrane that spoiled my otherwise good day. I went to work, with no hitch, and then outta nowhere this migrane blasts me. At work there was no asprin or motrin to be found, so I had to wait. Once I got home, I thought I could sleep it off. I was wrong. I took some asprin, and eventually the pain went away.

I slept late today, and tomorrow I have classes, so what fun I had is done. It rained so bad today that it made me nervous to drive. It was one of those days where I wished I waited out the storm. I hate driving in poor conditions.

Craving Things

Desire's but a word some use to hold onto the intangible.
What is real these days?
Is it the money, we need to survive?
Perhaps the passion I feel when I fell in love?
When my world crumbled, and no day seemed worth my time.
No repairs to my heart or home was worth the tears that stained my cheeks,
and proved that love was a lie.
How can I hold onto, what has eluded me?
Mystified me?
Made a fool of me for believing?
And not wanting to be alone.

Last Night Was a Java Chip Night

Hello there. Opened the lab with no muss or fuss about anything. I need to start bringing my cd player, so I can listen to some music, since the comps in here don't have music features. Finished my Flash homework last night. Got some basic stuff done, and came up with some cool designs. I'll have to use those a little later somewhere.

I have to give props to the Circ staff at work, since no one else wants to. We're working hard, and we've come across some very irrational thoughts of late by the mnagement. I won't bang my head against the wall, but when a staff supports each other, we get the best support.

A good friend got me a night light for my bedroom. Intitally the batteries wernt so good in them, but once I put the Duracell in them, the damn thing nearly lit the whole room. It was perfect. Of course, I tried to sleep, but the java chip (venti-sized) kept me stoked up to this moring. I don't know how many hors of sleep I got. i'm wide eyed today though.

I am please I sent off my application to graduate school. Although it will take time, like 5 months for me to complete the rest of my work, I say things are looking great. I feel great about this venture. It will be fruitful.

Peace

Grad School plans are set in motion!

I mailed off my graduate application, paid the processing fee, and sent my statement of purpose & resume with it. Now all I have to do is get my transcripts in order, and get that portfolio done. I'm king of the world. LOL

Seriously, I feel great. Thank goodness that I have an opportunity to get going in a positive direction. Thank God. Life is good. :-)

After The Storm

Charleston got a hit from Gaston, the latest tropical storm. It came earlier than the weather men predicted, and before I knew it, I had no phone line, and no power. It was one big ole mess. To top it off, people wanted me to show up to the job. LOL Like a nasty tropical storm knocking down powerlines, trees, and branches won't totaly block the highway, not to mention the wind and rain obscuring my vision, and possibly tossing my car around.

Needles to say I was unavailable for work. There's another hurricane on the way. It looks like it could pop up at SC. So I guess I better prepare this week-end for some more storming. Damn. I wanted a laxed week-end. One without storm pains and sufferings. I suppose I can't have everything I want. I am very thankful that my home, family, and self were unharmed.

First weekend in the new lab

Hello all, I'm at the lab doing my job of lab sitting. I also have to do my homework, so I believe I've got the better end of the deal. I'm pleased that I got myself a second job. I want to earn extra money for graduate school. LLife is good, since i do lab work on the week-ends anyways.

This is another version of my pic. I like what I've done with the image. I'm making a series out of them.

My pic

Break Time

I've had a full day of Classes, work, and work. Man I hope I don't get sleepy on the way home. LOLOL. I'm eating some not so good chicken broccoli alfredo. It's a frozen dinner. Definately not all that. Even worse, I'd like to add some pepper to it, and have no seasoning.

I'm thinking of making chilli this week-end. We'll see how things go down. I may do nothing, as I have to work on Saturday. I'll finish all my homework then too.

What Did I Just Say....

Did I just feel the first pangs of maturity? Whatever come my way, I pray to handle it with dignity and meet the results with courage. Life's too short to be scared.

Like Distant Thunder

So, I started having these thoughts of how to improve my life. Of course, it's a million miles per minute in that head of mine, so narrowing down the list is a considerable challenge. Nonetheless, the ideas of having success don't go away easily. I want to start writing, and being published professionally. I don't think it will be easy, I don't think I will be famous by this, but I do want to give it my best try. This mess looking at more avenues, and trying new ways of doing things. This also means being independent. Something that is both exciting, and terrifying.

It's easy to fall back on family, because that's a network. It can also be a crutch, and I'm feeling like I'm leaning way to hard on them. I'd like to see a world where I can chill without being in someone else's space. My bills are paid on time, and there is money in my bank account for me to do with as I please. I'd also love to see my creative side appear, and become the major contributor to my success as an artist. No more "what if's" this time. I want to see something tangible that I can build my life on. I'm craving a direction, and shedding the notion of being tied to one place. I want my life to have meaning, and not be so flat. Can I not have all that I desire if I work hard enough for it.

I don't feel sad about this. I don't even feel down. I feel myself going though changes, and that scares me sometimes. Change means breaking old habits, and combfort zones. Change is the crumbling of old defenses like rotting wood. Things don't go back to status quo. They are changed for good. I didn't know I desired anything until I woke up and decided that my life needed direction. I am the chick that just hatched into the world. That's what makes me feel great about the change. I'm also excited because I know I am heading in the right direction. I will be successful. I will grow, learn, and become a better person. I pray to God for the strength to see my visions through to completion.

There is no Song Of The Day. You pick one. Tell me if it's cool. I just might listen to it.

Work, Work, Work

Just being at work sometimes can be very fustration. Now, out of the blue, the administration wants to enforce a dress policy. Mind you, it's more like a back-handed type of thing, sent through e-mail, with no type of substance to it. I wonder, sometimes about admin, and theiur last moment memos.

I got bombarded by professors who want items on reserve. At this rate I cannot scan and answer questions like I need to. It sucks when your dept. is all about service, and I'm currently the only one processing.

Song of The the Day: "Love Like This" by Faith Evans. It was the last song I heard today while processing reserve items.

I saw the Tackiest Pants Today

It's another lovely day at work. On the way in, I saw someone with some leaf printed shorts on campus. The colors were horrible, and what made the lady seem more obnoxious is that while on her cell phone, she was lod as hell. LOL. Normally, some students do dress poorly, but this was a student's mother. I was like damn, now I know why some kids don't give a damn how they look in public. LOL

Got up late today, because I could. I knew better, yet I reverted bact to type. i was late to work, and that's my fault too. LOL

Last week a co-worker complained that it was too noisy in here, and she was getting a headche. Now she's the loudest peron in the department. Ain't that some stupid shit? Co-worker drama is off the chain this week.

The new semester starts tomorrow, and students are already blasting tie Circ desk for information. We're like a hub on campus. People have to know where things are, and we're the designated campus spotters.

I've had a heavy day that began with other staff members being made to shush. That's a common theme these days. LOL. Thank God it wasn't me. I processed reserves, and even more stuff. It took me a while, but I got it done. Brought my Chante Moore CD with me, so I had some good music to work by.

Everybody wants wireless cards today, so I sold a few. Lots of orinetation going on for graduate and undergrd students. The construction crew is still working on ths "Plaza" space. They have till the week-end to finsih it. It looks nice, but no one expects rennovations to look like crap.

It's alsmost time to close this place, but I wanted to write something.

Song of the Day: "Love's Taken Over" by Chante Moore. Why? It's a sultry song made even better by a great singer.

No Latte, but Tried Java Chip

Hello all,

I tried the Java Chip today. Just realized that I was about to write a check that would have overdrawn my account. In my zealous quest to pay my bills on time, I nearly overspent, and nothing would have been paid. Such is life, I must add. No use crying over spilled milk. I must simply do better next go round.

Left my lunch at my grandmother's house. I had to drop off some packages at her home, and I pulled my lunch out with her goods. I called her back, and will pick up my food shortly. For a moment, I thought I left my food home again. I'm such a forgetful person. Is that the artist in me, forgetting the little things? LOL

Took some photgraphs of some plants in the yard. Some wild mushrooms grew, and I got those photos as well. I had to get down to the ground to get good images. I used my digital camera, so I'll upload the photos tonight to my laptop. There were some multi-colored plants that really made me feel good about capturing the image proper. My mom wanted me to get some images of the whole flower pots. Unfortunatley, the sun was not so bright, and I'll have to reshoot some of the images.

Played video games this week-end. I did so much of that, that I wanted it to carry over to the week, but all in moderation. I got a haircut, and I put in my contacts. People say it's like a military low-cut. I just wanted my hair trimmed. The hair was very unmanageable before the cut. The trim down makes me look 18. LOL I feel so young now, and very attactive. :-)

I had some funky dreams of having run-ins with my siblings. I wonder what the hell all of that means. I suppose it was growing pains, or something like that. It'll make sense in the future, I'm sure of that.

I'm adopting a forum, yayyyyy! GoJabber is the bomb. LOL. I'll have lots more info as time progresses, and I get things done there. I couldn't neglect the blogg, since I did not post in a while. Gotta give my spot some love.

Be Well,

Stacy

No Lattes, but I'm doing fine

Like I mentioned earlier, there were some complications, but I'm so over them now. That's not to say that everything's fine, but it is to say that I have survived some crazy things, and I'm all the better for it. That makes me feel great.

I have some personal projects to work on now that finals are over. I have about a week of free time. Let's pray I can make a dent in the material.

Last week was crazy, as I took a few days off. I was bombarded with questions from my family, that made me quite irritated, but family tends to do those things to ya. I got used to it, and got a completed draft of a short story. All was not lost.

One of my friends is not answering my calls. She may be pissed with me, but she needs to say that to me, and not be so childish. I wanted to tell her about the shooting incident, but she's not available. I guess she's upset 'cause I'm still friends with someone she now is having a beef with. I don't want to get in the middle of that but I think she wants me to choose sides. That's not going to happen. I'll have to have a long talk with her soon, if I can reach her. LOL. I want her to know that I'm still her friend, and we don't have to take the route we're on. It'll lead to nowhere.

Finals are Ovah!!!

Hello all,

I haven't been myself lately, and at last finals are done. Last Friday, while driving home, someone started shooting. A bullet hit my car. Thankfully I was not shot, but My car was hit. Called 911, filed a report, called the insurance company. All this time finals are going on. Well, I was shaken, but not destroyed.

I finished my last final yesterday. When I checked my grades this evening, I got a big fat 98. Yes!!!!!!

I'll post more later, but for now I gotta go.

---Stacy

P.S. Special thnks to Nicole for posting a comment. I've been away a few days, but I still love reading responses.

I Was Feinnin" For A Latte

I don't know what came over me today. I just wanted a latte. I felt the need for one, and scapped together four bucks for a tall, iced latte with soy milk. It tastes great. LOL. Thnakfully I have my tank gassed, so I don't have to worry about it. If only Latte's were fuel.

I have a quiz to take, one I'm so not prepared for, so I might as well get that misery over. Completed one of my finals, now I have a couple more to go, and that's just crazy!!!! I'm tired, and someone who is not handicapped keeps buzzing to be let through the handicapped doors. That's just lazy.

I'm spent. Let me take my test.

I Got Fat Watching Food Network ;-)

The title's a lie, but it was sure funny. LOL. I did watch a lot of the Food Network a lot this week-end. I should have got some extra calories from watching it. Guilty pleasueres are so funny. I watched a clam chowder contest, a BBQ contest, and a resturant that uses charcoal grills only to cook its food.

Some of the chowder looked so rich. They used heavy cream and stuff. Pretty cool. You have to love your chowder to go there though. LOL

Today it rained. Lightly at first, then it rained some more, this time a little more rushed. I hate driving in the rain. Makes me nervous. 'sides I drive like an old man when the weather gets on the wet side.

It's A Good Day, and There Are No Lattes In My Future

Hello,

It looks a little stormy outside. In fact, a tropical depression is off the coast of SC. It's not supposed to hit us, but it's close enough to give SC some rain, wind, and whatever else it could drop on us. The library's freezing, but this time I brought a sweater. Clever me. I went to the kitchen in this dump, to add some more water in my cup, and there was this inscet in the sink. It looked like a spiny caterpillar. Needless to say, I went for bottled water.

Today is ok, because Sundays are the easiest to start. It's just me and a student holding down the fort. It is also finals time, and I said I was doing my final on Thomas Eakins. That meant scanning multiple iamgeas out of these big annoying art books. The scanner is so petit compared to the book, so It took some considerable time to get things done proper. Nonetheless, I have multiple images to work with.

I would still have to find some images from Henry O. Tanner, and Winslow Homer, since bopth artists were Eakins' contemporaries. I'll do those via web. I'm bound to hit something.

Aside from my finals, the job is even tempered this week. Same old drama goin on. One co-worker called to say she was "in transit," meaning she's show up. We never saw her. That was Monday. LOL I suppose she's having fun somewhere, or thowing herself a pity party. So long as the day remains quiet.

I did, however have a dog of a time with the FA office. All I needed to know is when was my aid going to be posted to my account. I got a song and dance about I won't know until the semester starts, which is beyond reasoning. The classes needed to be paid now, since I had the cash, and the deadline is Aug 6th to settle up your bill, or you will be bounced out of the classes you signed up for.

Sometimes the fact that you're at a higher learning institutionis ironic, becasue so many people there seem to be lacking any knowldge. Did I mention that those of us who applied for scholarships, will not be notified as to whether we've recieved them or not until the 6th. It's a pretty shitty postion to be in. I buckled down, and paid for any expenses I needed to. It means no Lattes for some time, since I am, in effect, without some cash to carry myself around. Thank God I can lan on my family. It's times like this that you need people around you.

Song of The Day: "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" By Cassandra Wilson. Why? It's a remake done in a great way. You can feel the sadness in the song. Good rainiy day song.

Be well,

---Stacy

Finals, Finals, Finals!

It's about that time to put the finishing touches on a few assignments, so I better get cracking again. Of course, I've been so busy with some things, like assembling a graduate portfolio.   It's one of those weeks where timee can be both friend and enemy.

Met with one of my instructors to view my portfolio.  She was impressed.  :-)  I'm glad I was able to get feedback from her.  I now have to create a resume proper.  Man, I'm going to be pooped from all the work.  LOL

Song of the Day: "Closer" by Tracie Spencer.  Why?  It's not that well known, and I doubt it even had airplay, but I love to hear it  it always reminds me of Christmas 1999, whene I worked for Disney.  Good memories, crazy times.  I was sober through all of it, I swear.  LOL

Today was an Iced Latte Kinda Day

Hello,

I'm knee deep in mock-up sketches for a cd design.  As usuall, I'm never staisfied with the first version, so I go on and create some more.  I took a break to remind myself that I wrote nothing for my blogg today.  It was the perfect break moment, as I began to get tired of my rather poor sketches.

I wrote up an inventory of my skills, and quite frankly, I have a whole lot of software and artistic skills.  Sometimes you can loose sight of who you are trying to catch up with others, when all that time you have the tools necessary to take you to first place, and hold your own.  I can do whatever, can't I?  It's all a state of mind.

I will write more of my work day later, possibly tomorrow, since this is a quick break.  For those who read this, "believe in yourself, and take stock in your skills.  You will be amazed at who you are, and what you can do."  That is my Tip of the Day.
 

Pass Me Another Vanilla Latte Please

Yesterday, my co-worker got me a vanilla latte.  She's so sweet.  She didn't have to do that.  It kept me awake longer than I expected, but that's OK.  LOL.  Good intentions, and desires for thing can come with a price.  Latte's are dangerous.  They placed a spell on me, and that Starbucks has me hook, line & sinker. 

Today I tried to put in my contacts when it seemed everyone was content with bothering me, and insisting on answers.  To make matters worse, I lost the left eye contact.  I am so pissed!!!!!!  The good news was that the lenses were disposable, and it is the last week for them, as I have a fresh pair ready to go.  What makes me upset is that I was in the batroom with the door closed.  Why the hell would anyone want to bother me then?  As I ask that question, I realize that people feel a strong need to feel secure, and I happened to to be the blanket to their Linus.   No use crying over spoiled milk, so I grabbed my glasses and went to work.

I did leave a soda in the fridge, and had to call back home for someone to remove it.   I totally forgot, and was glad it hit me when it did.

I had a meeting about the new format for the e-res pages.  Boy, that meeting was 45 mins. too long.  It lasted an hour.  It was so dry, that I started drawing all over the pages I was supposed to be taking notes on.   I've been doing e-res stuff for 3 1/2 years now.  I had the basics down.  The updated version simply looks different.  I told my boss it was too long, and he agreed. 

Have to meet with one of my instructors on a review of my portfolio.  It's a step in the right direction, so I want the best feedback.  I will get this portfolio launced soon!

Burgers and fries were on the menu today, as I ate them.  I was luck I was in a room by myself, as I belched so loud, I felt that in my chest.  Lord, it was a relief.  LOL.  Thankfully nobody heard me (or so I think).  I said "excuse me" politely.  Pratice makes perfect.   

Tip of the Day: "Don't add sugar to your lattes."  It will only agitate you more than usual.  LOL

Song of the Day:  "Happiness" by Vanessa Williams.  It's such a bubbly song, and so cheerful.  It stays with you for some time.

I've got 2 hrs of work left.

It's almost time to close this place up.  On top of that I've been having a swell day.   Nobody complained.  LOL.  No backackes, and talk of "mucus in one's chest."   LOL.  Praise the Lord.  Nobody knows how annoying and digusting it is to hear that mess, in addition to all the camel noises this co-worker makes.  I've never met any woman who was willing to belckh or fart in front of other people.    

The Ball and Mirror project didn't go so well.  it looks like crap to me.  I suppose that's my own fault for waiting so late.  next time I'll have to do much better.  I have two projects left in my Illustrator.  Don't you know my animation project file got corrupted, again!   I'm so pissed.  I worked on that sucker.  I wanted it to shine!  This time around I made multiple copies, so if something went wrong, I had another back-up.  Good thing too.  I would have lost my mind as a few weeks of work goes down the toilet.  A classmate of mine lost ALL of her current work.  it wasn't pretty.

I have a final presnetation.  I'm doing it on American Realist Thomas Eakins.  Eakins broke rules and conventions.  Also I know a lot about his work.  it makes the research much more easier, as I sort and tease through the information.

Song of the Day:  "The Greatest Romance That's Ever Been Sold" by Prince.  Why?  That son't been in my head all week.  I find myself humming it and singing the lines aloud.  How did it get there?  Not that it's a bad song, but it seem to come from out of the blue.  Thank God I didn't listen to any boy bands or tten pop acts.  Lord I'd be so regretting it now.   LOL

 

Good Morning All

Went from the computer lab to Wal-Mart, and bought some bread, ham, and cheese.  The store clerk joked about me making some sandwiches.  he was right.  I wanted them.  Made some for lunch today.  Alrady ate them.  LOL  Breakfast is good for the day.  LOL

There may be a duty expantion for me at work.  I will find out on Wednesday if I have new duties, as we prepare (yet again, I swear the delays are endless) to move into our new library.  I talked with another co-worker from a diffent dept.  He thinks we're going to have a lot of extra duties, for the same amount of pay as well.  LOL.  This expantion is a mixed blessing.  I'm sure it means I will now have tacked on duties of other departments.  I could be wrong, so I keep that in mind. 

I don't want to do my Illustrator project.  I find it rather cumbersome, and annoying.   This stupid ball and mirror thingie.  I have two finals in the class, and would love to dedicate time to them, and not be in such a jam  later on.  One day I'll have to post the projects, so all can see.

Song of the Day:  "Automatic" by the Pointer Sisters.  Why? It's one of my favorite 80's songs.  I decided I wanted to purchase it from iTunes, and now I can can hear it all I want. 

I'm postive I'm awake now.

Worked on the lawn this moring.  I overslept, and the sun got me just right.  All that water I drank yesterday went to good use, as I sweated it out.  It was too hot, and I ended trimming bushes, and raking up the brances.  It's was all good.

It's raining now, and I wonder if I'm gonna go to Wal-Mart like I said, and get some groceries.  I hate driving in the rain.  At least I don't have to go downtown today, where people drive even worse (I think with their eyes closed). 

Talked to a friend today who is having the best time learing Macromedia Director.  After seeing her work, I have to say, I can't blame her.  She's doing a fantastic job.  If my plate wasn't full, I'd take Director now.  LOL.  Good programs are great to get into.  I have a couple of flash books to do work on, so I'll add those to my "to do" list.

Somebody from work called my home earlier.  I'm sure it wasn't a call I wanted to hear.  Nonetheless, I was way to busy in the yard to answer.  "sides, I got sh*t to do, and places to be.   If I didn't go to Wal-Mart yet, I'll be darned if I go downtown.   LOL

Song of the Day:  "Yeah." by Usher.  I like the song, and I'm not a big Usher fan.  He won me over.  I can't front on that.  LOL 

Thought of the Day:  "What have you got to lose by doing something new?"  The answer is absolutely nothing, although that nothing sometimes holds us back some.  Makes you think.  No? 

I'm in a great mood. I hope it lasts. :-)

It's summer movie time, and I got a few recoomedations from friends, so I have to take the time to go see them.  Everybody who saw Spider Man 2 loved it, and says go see it.  I Robot got some buzz too.  Catwoman is a mix.  Most forum people I spoke to were like "no way" (especially comic book fans, but understandable since the character veers from the comics).  I peeped the trailers, I hope it's good.  I'm a little curious.  I like Halle, so I hope she can pull something off with this series.  Besides, it would be good to see a kick-butt woman of color on the screen. 

I want to buy the last Lord of The Rings DVD, but the budget won't allow it yet.  I have devised a plan to obtain a second job, so all is not lost.  I'll be likely too tired to see it.  LOL.   I will pray for endurance, and peace of mind.

Convinced my supervisor that we needed an online page for the Circulation.  I'm all ecitied about that.  I want all my co-worker's opinions, and I'll design it, and the rest will be history.  :-)  So far this day has been well.
 
Thought of the Day:  "If you're really sick, then why don't you do something about it other than complaining."  I have a co-worker who complains about her life all the time, but doesn't do anything to heal herself.  I thought it was worthsharing. 

Be Well,
---Stacy

THis is the part where I wake up

Hey, it's another day, and life is great.  Last night went fine.  Today was an "I can get up late day," as 11:10 AM came by with me in bed.  I made myself get up, so I can get dressed, and eat.  As it turned out, I didn't eat breakfast, and went to work.  Brought steak & rice for dinner.  :-)   I love a good meal. 

Currently, I'm sleepy, and thoguht about going home early.  I have some compensatory hours to take, and just may do so.  I want to go to bed. 

Song of The Day: "To Your Love" by Fionna Apple.  Why?  I love the song.  Fionna's got a way of making beautiful music and cautionary lyrics blend.  If you don't listen, you won't figure out that she's deliving a warning. 

The day has gone fine, and I can say that the world looks good.  I finished a couple of PowerPoint projects earlier.  I had no idea of what I was doing.  I followed the instructions, but some things didn't make sense.  If I don't get an "A" on these two projects I won't be upset at all.  
 
Met my co-worker's daughter for the first time.  We've only like spoke on the phone for like 2 years.  LOL.  She'd call for her mom, and I'd end up speaking to her.  She's a nice young lady.  Takes right after her mother.  Has a wicked sense of humor. 

I'm working solo tonight, but that's ok, since I had to finish my work.  Now that I'm done, I can write more.  :-)  Y'know, I panicked 'cause I didn't think I could get the work done, but I did, so I'm very happy with myself.   I feel so good about now. so I'm loving this moment.  :-)

Thought of the Day:  "You don't win friends with salad."   I got that from the Simpsons.  It's true.

My allergies finally stopped bothering me.  It was just in time as my follow-up eye exam to see how well the contacts work.  Their fine.  It's getting better to stick thse things in my eyes, although the left one gives me some grief.   I got it in there though.  LOLOL.
 
I was wired off of a Vanilla Latte last night , and went to bed at 3:30 AM.  I was also wired, because I thought I lost my wallet.  As ususal, I put things down, when I'm home, and forget where I place items.  Fortunately, the walled was safe and sound, so I was ok this moring, but late for my computer graphics class. 
 
Watched SVU last night.  I was saddende to see that a mother would use her foster children for a check, muder one of them, and pin the murder on her husband and her other foster child.  That's low, but her ass got busted proper in the end.  One happy ending, at minimum.
 
Song of The Day:  "Heartburn" by Alicia Keys.  Why?  I needed to hear something upbeat anf enjoyable, and I can't reccoment "You Don't Know My Name" without laughing and imitaing that long ass message she left on that guys phone.  "Hello, is This Michael?"  LOLOL

The Xerox instructor showed us a new model Xerox that works like the older one, but looks different.  It has a few funky features, but I wasn't as impressed as I wanted to be.   She was a good instructor and nice, so I can't hate on that. 
 
Today must be a full moon, as a couple of library patrons have had nasty attitudes.  perhaps they were having bad days, and tried to give me thier ill will.  Either way, I have to shrug it off, as I do not have the proper time to wallow in someone else's self-pity.  One woman was all tearful and pissy at the same time.  She didn't want a lecture, she just wanted me to break all of the library's policies for her.  Like that was going to happen.  The next had an attitude, not worth going into detail about.  She's so done.  They did scare off my student worker.  I was not pleased with that.
 
I was late to work, due to bad traffic.  I have to change that, as I like to be palces on time.  My boss really wants eveyone to be on time.  The person who was chronicly late was acting like I was in big trouble, but she was full of it.  Honey, one day doth not make you exempt from your tardiness.  LOL  She's gonna get burned when she walks in with her usual hour late routine. 
 
Ran plenty of errands this morning.  From mailing off my car payment to purchasing Frontline for my cat.   I had to archive a lot of files today.  I'm not nearly as finished as I like to be, but I did a great chunk this morning.  :-)   Later I just had to have Starbucks' Vanilla Latte.  Why I didn't get the small is beyond me.  $5.00 for a cup of latte.  I should have known better.  I need to gas my car, I may do that later on this week.  Gotta have gas.
 
Song of The Day:  "Heaven Must Be Near" by Ingrid Chavez.  Why?  Because when I hear the song, it lifts my spirits, and I can use that after this full-moonish day. 
 
 
 

Hey, I missed a couple of days, but that's ok.  I've been working on a Powerpoint presentation.  The "Me" project for one of my classes.  It took up a lot of my time, and energy.  Boy was I exausted.  I maxed out two solid days of making this project shine.  It looks pretty great.  Design wise I get stronger each day with how to make things look better.   I am pleased with my progress. 
 
Since we last met, I worked on my lawn, and started my allergies up.  My eyes watered so bad, I didn't put my contacts in.  Then the sneezing and sniffling began.  Sigh.  I'm back to glasses.   I'll write more when time becomes available.  Now a have a tepid Xerox tranning session to attend, in spite of the fact that i train people to use the damn machine all the time.  Call it a management issue.  With luck I will learn something new to report back about. 
 
Sincerely,
Stacy

I suppose it's another Sunday, but as usuall, the drama twists and turns. My boss sent me a very passive-aggressive email, which tries to berate me. Since I know better, I won't take the bait. I could care less about him being mean-spirited, but he seems to flip out from time to time. Not even he can ruin my good day.

I have some work to do on a project I should have started Friday, but I goofed around, and lost some time. Typical me. If this power point class wasn't necessary, I don't think I'd take it. Enough whinning about it though. The work is do, so its do or don't time.

Song of the Day: "This Love" by Maroon 5. Why? I just downloaded the song from iTunes, and it's fresh in my ears. :-)

Thought of the Day: If people are testing your patience, then 'ef them. They have no power over your life whatsoever.
That, and the best revenge is living a good, productive life that can't be beaten by callous people.


Peace Y'all

I wish I wrote yesterday, but I was knee-deep in editing a videotape for my class presentation. With that being said, I also got my self some contact lenses. My God, I had no concept of how these things work. I also did't concieve of how I would blink so much. I am somewhat annoyed by the process, but the chance to see a whole lot better iwas too appealing to let go of.

It's real nice. Everything seems much brightere, even at night. LOL. Was I missing out on everything? I know most people can take their vision for granted, but since I am usually as blind as a bat, it made for a better triumph. It's so nice to see all around. :-)

Song of the Day: "Pink Casmere" by Prince. It's highly underrated, but a sexy Prince song nonetheless. it's always good to listen to.

Feeling a little down today, as I desperately search for alternate classes. I did have plans on leaning new software programs in the fall, but alsa that dream hass been dashed. After yesterday's post, I should be happier , however, it ain't easy. :-(

Didn't do much of anything. I don't feel like it. I need a day to mope about.

One co-worker didn't show up to work. She's a mess. She really needs to get her act together cause she's all no work, and all play. Must be nice.

Hello all,

I was knee deep into a Powerpoint project, however, I should have taken to this task this week-end. It would have made it smoother to finish. The project's due on Thursday, so I believe I have the drop on this. Ha! Of course there's another project on the way for next week. It all but assures that I stay in front of the computer working.

I just got an e-mail about the interview I had two weeks ago. The job opening was "cancelled." The band for the job had been changed. I can re-apply when the job is up for grabs again. That sucks. I feel like life's trying to hold me hostage. Perhaps things are happening in a vacumm. The world is not out to get me. Not as long as I have the power to create, and the power to know love. I am invincible. Truth is, I cannot allow myself to feel defeated because of some setbacks. Mind you, it's rough sometimes.

Song of the Day: "Paradise" by Sade. Why? Sade has some of the best songs with the right mix of mellowness and sadness that can push you to feel something good. Paradise is where I'd love to be if I could.

Hello all,

I broke my glasses. I'm so upset! I'll have to make an appointment for Thursday top get my eyes examined, and a new pair. Right now I tried using some glue, but that didn't work. When the opportunity presents itself, I'm getting some contacts, so if I run into problems, I can switch out.

A friend told me that she's having a bad spot with another friend. She has a solution, and I hope it works out. Let's hope things stay calm.

I'm at work today, contemplating why I didn't use my sick leave today (It's cause I'd waste it). The library's all silent. Earlier this girl came in, on a cell phone, and blabbed ALL her business. He man was dumping her for someone else, and she didn't have the sense to carry that conversation elsewhere. She kept raising her voice, and getting upset. She'd excuse herself, come back in calm, then raise her voice again. She did this a few times, until she lfet for good.

I wonder about people who patron the library sometimes. It's like a bad mood day. LOL

It is H-O-T oustside. It's so hot I saw the devil outside hailing a cab. LOLOL!!!!!

Song of This Hot Sweatty Evening: "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand. Why? The song , while not R & B, is slamming. I love to hear it. I've got to get that one for my iTunes collection.

It's early. it's a class day. Learned about creating business cards today. I need to get up and walk. My legs are stiff. I have to go to work today, to make up for the library being closed on Sunday. Boy is that fun. My only consolation is that the library is going to close at 6:00 PM tonight. I'll more than likely write another entry at work, 'cause nobody wants to be seen at the library on Fridays. LOL

Misplaced my ring today. I'll stop by the house before I run to work, and reclaim it.

Today, I got to play with the color printer. This was to test it out. We may not keep it in the library, but it sure is great. Love it.

I may have to quit my job in order to fulfill my college obligations. I was was hoping FA would give me more loans, but they gave me work-study instead. I'll get a job on campus, but I'll more than likely have to get a second job, if they don't add something to the plate.

Sent a letter to the department head of the visual arts dept. Quite frankly they said my classes would be during the day in the fall, and that's n longer true. I hope she has a good explanation, 'cause I don't take quitting my job lightly. I may get irritated at work, but it's still my job, and I'd like to leave because I'm ready to, not because my had is forced.

The students at work don't have the proper paperwork to be on the job, so we had to send the home. the person who files the paperwork is conviently sick today. Even worse, I was told she had three weeks to get things straight. Now I have some students who may be peeved thay may not get their check as planeed. I hate when that happens. It puts me in a bad position.

Saw one of my fomer student workers. He's all tanned and shit from the sun. He's happy, which is good, and he went about his merry way. Another SA got an internship, so she won't be hanging around us for a while. I'm proud of both of them.

Another of my SA, whom I'll call "Drama Mamma," was loafing about. I spotted her yesterday. She looked sleepy, and appeared out of sorts. Gotta get that girl some No-Doze 'fore she falls on her face. Hopefully she's not in more drama. She's a sweet girl, I just like to see my students well.

Song of the Day: "Don't You Want Me?" by Jody Watley. It's 80's chic, and brings back memories of teen years. LOL. I'm getting up there, and I hope to get to grad scholl next fall. if I'm bitching about not being there around this time next year, y'all will know I'm pissed.

I wrote so little earlier. There was nothing to say. i did have to got to the FA office to straighten out any potential mess I may be in, only to learn I don't know how much aid I'm getting for the fall. it's like a top secret thing where I keep having to guess where thing lie. I am so tired of these classes messing with me. It's like a broad conspiricy to make me quit.

Played Powerball today. I got the numbers from a dream. LOL sounds silly? Why not. Those numers are as random as others. LOL. Sides it's fun, for all of five seconds.

Song of the Day: "How Can I Ease the Pain" by Lisa Fischer. I think this song is very sexual, and beautiful. I wonder if that was intentional?

I'm pissed. I can only pick two classes for the fall semester. I wanted to take three! Damn this schelduing. LOL. I have to keep my humor up, or else I'd climb the wall. I don't have much to say right now other than I feel like I've been beaten out of the college system.

I took a few days off. But I guess you could tell by the silenece of my posts. The holidays were here, and I had a few days off from classes and working. It felt soooo good. I slept late, and loafed about. I planned a cook-out for the fourth, which I did. I marinated some steaks, and ribs the day before. I never used a grill before. I was so naive, I followed the instructions for the charcol, and used only 40 peices. LOL I nearly screwed myself BTW that coal burns far faster than I anticipated.

Anyways my mom inisted that my older bro to do something, so he took the cooking aspect away from me, and charred all the meats (even the hotdogs felt the sting of his grilling). All I did afterwards is make a real a real great pitcher of tea. It had the right blend of lemon, it was my best tea yet.

Some family members came over and stayed a long long time. It as nice to see them, and nice to see them gotoo. LOL

Had a discussion with my Aunt about who to vote for in the comming election. She doesn't like Kerry 'cause he's for same-sex marriages. So I'm like you'll vote for Bush. She's like yeah. I was turned off by that, but she's entitled to her choices. I do think she was being willfully ignorant though. She says same-sex relationships are wrong, but she put an equity on this "sin." I felt she was not representin.

Song of the Day: "Crush" by Zhane. I love this song because its smooth and elegant. It also happens to be true for many people.

Hello,

Almost didn't write anything, but between switching channels between Iron Chef and Road Rules, I thought I needed to do something positive. Went grocery shopping today. Bought things for cooking on the grill tomorrow. I marinated some steaks, and ribs. I bout some marinade that is really spicy. I didn't realize that untl I tasted it. LOL.

Caught up with a good friennd via phone. We joked for a while, then went on our seperate ways.

Song of the Day: Where My Girls At? by 702. Why? I just saw the vidoe, and I wanted to hear something that wasn't sad sounding. LOL

Tonight and tomorrow I will work on my new web sites. I was going to call my homepage "Stacy's House," or something like that, but the page is not just about my name. It's about me, and not naming everything after me. I did think of a nifty logo for "Stacy's House" I may use, but as a signature. I want the homepage to be original and raw. Y'know get the best of me in there, and let you know it's all good.

The rain subsided, and I went to lunch. Downtown floods so easily, and wcars slached water all over the side walk. If they wern't racing through the water, it wouldn't be so bad, but those bastards did, and I nearly got soaked several times.

I got some nachos, and a Sprite, and called that an evening. I tried out the Yahoo radio. The one where you customise the music. My taste is so eclectic, that I didn't know half the selections the radio was selecting for me. I got over that real fast. LOL

I've written three times today. That's a great thing. I feel great when i write, and I like that feeling.

Song of the Evening: Fall by Cree Summer. Why: It's a rock flavored tune that I like. It also represents my ecleticism well.

Thought of the Evening: Do not question everything. Somethings must be accepted as is.

Be well people, be well.

It looks ugly outside. There's a storm on the horizon. It looks so dark outside, I'd swear it was 9:00 PM already. I hate it when a storm brews, and I'm not home. It makes me a little nervous, 'cause a lot of people drive poorly in the rain. They speed like crazy. Caution gets thrown to the wind.

I got an offer for an interview. Don't want to jinx it, and I have yet to confirm the date, but needless to say it would allow me to take my late night classes if the opportunity presents itself. Also more pay would be fine, if possible. I'm praying for success.

Did some data entry for today. I mainly went over other people's work, as someone haphazzardly placed the info in the system. I checke and redid the info when necessary. it wasn't so bad. I liked it.

I wanted to buy Brandy's new CD, but decide to put that money elsewhgere. I may purchase a few tunes from itunes later next week, if time and money permits.

Song of the Evening: Friend of Mine by Kelly Price. I love to hear both the album and R. Kelly remix. Bad friends are the worst, and hearing songs about them is even better.

Peace y'all.

Hello,

I'm in class. I like to take this time to reflect on the day. It's soooo early. I'm going to go home soon. I may go to sleep. While yesterday, I avoided caffine, I still didn't get much sleep. That's a shame. I need a latte. It'll keep me awake. Turned in my homework assignment for today, which I did last night. Filled my car with gass today. I spent $15.05, but it's full. It should last me a week or so. Eveybody else pays like much much more. I guess their tank is huge.

Song of the Morning: This Love by Maroon 5. Why: I listened to it on the raido on my way to class. It was a good song to drive to.

People are paying me compliments on my shirt and hat today. Makes me feel good. I have a Superman logo on my shirt. Guess that makes me the man. LOL. Somebody didn't like the fact that I got comments, and started hating, and quite frankly it turned me off. I'm getting over that. I should get some more cool shirts, and let them hate harder. If I think about it what should I do anything different from today. I need to treat myself better than before.

I have decided that i should not allow other factors in life to constrain me. This means taking control of my life, time, and energies. I want to be able to project the right amount of energies into my talents. There should be no excuses, no explanations or justifications to others about what I do.

In the past I felt a need to please others, and I'm not happy. I'd like to get to a point where my happiness and life come first, and not last. I getting there.

Of course things don't happen overnight, and if I rememeber to do things the right way (put my needs and well-being first), then I can't possibly fail. It shall all work itself out, if I maintain the right course.

I'm developing two new websites. The first is my official home site. This site will contain photos, poetry, and liks galore. LOL. I want it to be my special site. The one I would want to design if I went to a professional and asked them to work on it.

The second will be a labor of love. It's a site dedicated to fine art. The details are still in the wash, but my background in art is my first love.

Song of the Day: Talk About Love by Brandy. It is really a cool song, and is right for the summer. If the opportunity presents itself, I'll purchase her new CD.

My Mom and Grandmother just had birthdays this week-end. I know they're happy. My got herslef a new counter top stove to celebrate her victory. LOL. I'm so proud of her. It was what she needed to complete her kitchen.

Talked with someone who was having some obcession/stalking problms. I know a little about people who don't know how to respect boundaries. They force you to be more agressive in responses. You can't be nice to some people, 'cause they seem to want to run all over you.

Have to tell my friend she's being to nice to the obcessed person. Let them know showing up on the job is not healthy at all. Respect is key to all friendships.

Album of the Week: Belly of the Sun, by Cassandra Wilson. While this moves me out of R & B, and into jazz, we can all use a change of pace, and Wilson's music is great, and has a mellower vibe. Also the live instruments are so cool to hear.

Where to start today. I have freinds problems. One friend is not speaking to the rest, and creating a rift in our group. Needless to say some are taking it more personal than others. That's to be expected. It's pretty upsetting to see someone you know going through things, and they won't let you in at all. What's the deal with that?

Attempted to use the campus computer lab , but their Dreamweaver software kept crashing. I really went there because their computers have much more power than my laptop, but I might as well as stayed home. I did get to talk to a friend who had this crazy story of someone stalking someone else. I know the person doing the harrassing. It will get worse, that I know.

I attempted to listen to the "Damita Jo" cd a friend loaned me. I couldn't get into it. It's not Janet's best. Oh well. It doesn't make album of the week. LOL

Song of the day: My choice is "Golden Boys" by Res. If you listen to the lyrics, she sounds so disillusioned by people in high places. The beat kicks too.

Yesterday I didn't wear a t-shirt under my main shirt. I felt funny, like I was walking around with no undies on. LOL. I know that may sound silly, but I am used to an undershirt beneath the shirt. It felt naughty, almost. I'm so old-fashioned. LOLOL!!!! I'll get myself out of that.

I'm still trying to figure out a solution to my class scheldue. It's not so successful. The only salvageable news is that I'll be done with the core classes this semester, and I may take my QuarkExpress class sooner.

The Library's louder than usual, for the summer that is. It's ok.

Song of the Day: Angel in Disguise by Brandy. Why? It's what's playing in my car.

I didn't write yesterday. I'm such a slacker. I know I'm writing today. LOL. Nonethelss the day was filled with some pretty blah moments and I had cabbage and rice on my break as food. I'm outta cash this week, so whatever's home will have to do for me. These weeks can be limiting, when the funds are low. A friend gave me an apple. I'll snack on that later. I've also been munching on some crackers. I can't say I'm starving, or hungry lol. I got what I needed. :-)

Song of the Day: Golden Boys by Res. Why, 'cause The lyrics are deeper than I thought, and the beat brings it on home.

I didn't write yesterday. I was real lazy. So lazy that I didn't do much of anything constructive. I am fustrated still that the hours for Fall semseter's classes are late in the evening. I'm at the mercy of somebody playing with the admin system. LOL. I'm very pissed.

This is a skimpy post, and I don't feel muck like writing anything, but I musn't miss two days, 'cause that's when it becomes three, four and five days. Such a sad cycle of nothiness. I did want to work on a writing project, and may do so later in the evening.

Song of the Day: I did have something to write about today. "The Beautiful Ones" by Prince. Why, cause it's on heavy rotation on my iTunes, and old school Prince is great Prince.

I'm working on my portfolio web page. I wanted a link to my blogg, but I forgot the address. Since I had to visit my sitre, I might as well write something. Cooked stir-fdry today. It didn't get as involved as I thought. It was neat, (mostly) clean, and painless. I love that in a meal. I cooked enough for two days, so we'll see how long it lasts.

For breakfast I ate the last two slices of leftover pizza. It was good. The crust was a little tough as I mic'ed it too long. Later on I have to get my cat some food, as he is already out of the bag I bought a couple of weeks ago.

It's obnoxiously hot outside, but I gotta get stuff done, then I gotta take some asprin 'cause my head's hurtin' somthing fierce.

Chill, Y'all

Album of the Week: "Secrets" By Toni Braxton. Why? Because it's her best work. There are a lot of great songs on there, and the way I'm playing the CD, you'd think I never heard the songs before. LOL. Seriously, Toni lays down a lot of hot tracks on this CD, and she has a great voice. The qualty of music, lyrics, and voice are the best.

What's up all. I had the best sleep last night. I actually got to sleep LATE. Can you beleive it? I had a day to sleep until 11:00 AM. I'm so satisfied. LOL I also started writing ideas for a new story i can't tell y'all 'bout 'cause I really just have random thoughts about. If I ever work it out, I'll share.

Tomorrow I have an early class, but I'll go to bed early tonight to offset that miserable I don't wanna get outta bed feelings I get in the morning. I just hate rolling out of bed. I'm still a night person.

Song of the Day: "Naughty Girl" By Beyonce. It has the right beat to pump in my ride. Love to hear it.
