Oh, Goodness, what a week. Yesterday, I over slept and was an hour late for work.. not good. things are OK now but I was worried about it. They sat me down and said don't make it a habit. SO this morning I had like 4 different alarms with different tones to wake me up. It worked. lol

"Disturbing trends directed at the president" are not disturbing trends, its speaking out against what some may find wrong. Most behavior directed to the President, good or bad, is due to presidential statements/actions, NOT racism. I am NOT a racist in any way and I believe I and others reserve the right to freedom of speech and we all should be able to speak our minds about politics without it being skewed as racist comments . You have a right to disagree, and I respect your views and opinions, but stating I'm a racist due to my opinion on political views just testifies to your ignorance on the issues at hand.

Now, I understand there are some people out there who, yes, they are racist and have come out with racist comments, however, Those few prejudice and ignorant people are not the representatives and voices of everyone, whether Democrats or Republicans. I find it very frustrating to have most comments skewed due to having an African American President. I am proud to have a black president and to know that our UNITED states of American have put aside many previous prejudices and become just that, more united. I may not agree with Everything the president says, does, or presents for public and political reform, but I am not Racist for disagreeing and having a different opinion. Thank you

So L.A sucks. Fall is my favorite season and here.. there is no change in weather!!! I hear all the weather reports for Salt Lake and its like "ugh!" I want rain and pretty leaves here!! So I'm very home sick. I miss my family , my friends and my dogs. I miss driving around in the rain and I miss home. I think I may even miss snow this year.. and We all know how much i dislike snow.

Anyways, now that rant is outta the way.. things are otherwise going OK. This weekend was nice, I just relaxed and cleaned and read a book called The Road... everyone had been telling me to read it and how awesome it is... I found it to be just OK. Every other page was a repeat of the theme and story line, just in a slightly different location. The overall setting dabbles in futuristic America and presents some scary but "could happen" situations, Although the author does not really tell how American got to that point...There were a few short lived exciting parts but they were just that, short lived and far between. I felt the author introduced characters.. not the build the plot but to bring something new to the book for about 3 pages. The thought behind the theme of the book is something human and real and The main character development is written well and is touching. However, I found the writing style not to my liking and felt it was poorly written but well hidden behind the imagery used to describe the world and emotions the characters live through. I would not recommend it unless you're an airplane reader and looking to read something a bit different and new... And even then, I doubt its entertainment value.

ha ha i just realized how essay/book review that last paragraph sounded... goodness, I need to go back to school.. sorry about that. lol anyways, I cleaned my room and did laundry and went to the store.. got spaghetti sauce, bread, butter, milk, cheese and tomato soup. So that should tide me over for a few days. ya grilled cheese and spaghetti. Well work is almost over for the morning..

Yay, its my favorite day of the week! I love Thursdays although Tuesdays are supposed to be my lucky day. I think I was born on a Tuesday... There's this site that goes into pretty extensive detail about your zodiac sign and It said Tuesday is my lucky day.. oh how odd to be born on that day too. Although I had to look it up on line.. My mom can remember the day of the week the other girls were born on but not me. lol Mom, It was a Tuesday! So I guess it was your lucky day too. ha ha

Speaking of lucky days.. yesterday being 9.9.9 was supposed to be lucky.. and damn was it!!??!!!

I decided to walk around the city my work is in.. Culver City and the area my work is in is very nice so it kinda has that sugar house vibe to it.. hip, safe and nice. So I'm just walking around checking out the shops and i got checked out by like 6 guys.. (kinda made my day) I got to actually talk on the phone with my best friend.. we usually write letters, emails, I.M, facebook, myspace or text. So hearing her voice was nice. lol Anyways, I'm walking around and when I get off the phone I walk by this shop that looks like its got these cake things and they look weird so I go in to investigate. Well... It turns out its like this gelato shop and they have like 16 different flavors.. the cake looking things turned out to be the gelato dishes.. (I have horrible eyesight.) So I ask the guy working there (good looking with gorgeous eyes) What it is and he proceeds to give me a sample of like each flavor. so I got Free ice cream! Then I bought a small dish and sat in the shop to eat it.. as I was sitting there I was looking at there drinks and he's like here and pours me two glasses of two different flavors. So he gave me free drinks too! After I finish up I leave and just start walking back again. When I get to my work, a co-worker says, I got an order of fries and I can't eat them, would you like them? So I got free fries too. There's a freebie table at my work where sponsors sometimes leave product out or people bring in fruit or donuts.. well I've been running very low on deodorant and they had dove deodorant out! So I got that for free as well. Then i came across a couple extra bucks and got to eat all you can eat sushi with my roommates. :) Got home, went to bed early and it was a great and very lucky day!!!

Anyways.. back to it being Thursday.. :)
I love Thursdays.. It means it's close to the weekend. There used to be Donut Thursdays. Thursday used to be Dax and Tay day... I just like Thursdays!

I got to talk to Dax for a little bit the other day, that was nice. Some weeks we talk every day and other times we don't talk for like a month. I've also got to talk to Chloe' a lot lately, which is also nice! Anyways, have a happy Thursday!

Firstly, Lets jsut get the pleasantries out of the way. Happy Labor Day.
Its like 6 am and I'm at work. (never been so bored in my life) If hell froze over, work would have me work and I'd write "no traffic but a few slick and icy spots.." There is literaly no traffic at all. no crashes.. nothing. Nothing for Portland or Salt Lake. So Horray for Yahoo, Facebook, Myspace and here. Thanks for keeping me entertained folks. :)

I was thinking about going to San Diego this weekend but decided against it due to the fact I'm poor as dirt. And I'm kinda glad I didn't go.. I don't think it would have been very fun for me. The roomies wanted to go to a beach, get drunk and play volleyball. And Who wants to go swimming or play volleyball with a bunch of drunk people? No fun. So instead I caught up on my Movie watching. Luckily the roommates have movies I haven't seen so no money was wasted on rentals. Also I'm hoping to hit up the library thats like five minutes away sometime this week.

Might go frisbee golfing this afternoon between shifts.. We'll see.

Its been a long week. Pretty much just working and sleeping. I'm excited to sleep in this weekend but I work on Monday so no three day for me, but I get paid double on Holidays so Thats pretty sweet. I did the P90X ab work out yesterday.. not feeling it yet... :( I may need to up the reps or work harder already. lol. the New roommates and I are thinking about going down to San diego for saturday but I don't know for sure yet.. I can't really afford anything right now so I doubt I'll go.

Anyways, thats about all...
