If you close your ears, you can block out the screams!!!


Evening to you all!

I think the great Marilyn Manson said it best, "You can't sedate all the things you hate!"

I think this week's gonna be a doozy. Everyone I have spoken to has admitted that it has been a bitch trying to not lash out. I guess that my twisted on it. Irritable and frustrated is what I have heard lately. Yesterday, if I could have thrown glowing green balls of necroplasma, I would have.

I can't even begin to tell you how frustrated I was many of the customers I assisted today. In fact, I'm too traumatized. Let's just say the demon was ready to suck blood!! Breathe!!!!!! Ahhhh!!!!

Today, I came to the sad realization that this week my personal life has been suffering. I've down Pilate's twice this week. I haven't worked out at all. The most horrific thing was the slice of Vanilla Bean Cheesecake I had yesterday. I could feel my thighs expanding. I my spiritual re-education is on the back burner while I try to focus and motivate myself. The only thing I'm mildly satisfied with is I have made dinner 2 outta 4 nights since this week began.

Oh, the pisser is truly American Idols airing has overridden House and Bones. I hate shows that try to force pop culture down my throat. Hey, I feel the same way about Survivor, the Amazing Race, Super Nanny, and, Wife Swap. I would include Deal or no Deal and 1 Vs 100, but I don't think those shows have the super effect like the previous shows mentioned. At least with Who Wants to be a Millionaire, people were learning something educational.

Any who, 2 of my girlfriends are coming to visit me in April. I'm super excited, but the failure in me thinks that this is a huge mistake. I want to spend time with them, but I'm not so sure I want to take vacation time. I'm so indecisive. What if I need that to go down to Georgia? I did want to help my Mom clean up my Grandmother's and Great-Grandmother's rooms. My mom just hasn't been able to do it herself. The emotions get to her I assume. My counselor says my Adjustment issues make me detached and desensitized. I just assumed it was because I didn't have a V8 that day. I also have a friend I want to go and see in Washington. Maybe, I'll manage like a four day (without pay), and take time to see her. She wants to go to Ireland with me, so it would be nice to see her with out the distraction of drunken dancing hunky Irish men bouncing in front of us. Well, at least I hope they're hunky!!!

I did buy Mario Acevedo's Nymphos of Rocky Flats today. I can't wait to dig into it. Gotta love nymphos!! I'm going to take a little hiatus from Lamb to read a book I bored. My Year Inside Radical Islam by Daveed Gartenstein-Ross is about a 23 year old man who (born a Jew from to Hippies) converts to Islam and is sucked into a radical Muslim movement. It sounds great. It's a memoir, so I let you know when I'm done.

Criminal Minds is on. At least something good still comes on TV. Oh Shemar Moore!!!!!

Those who remember that we must
come to an end in this world,
their quarrels cease at once.

Final thoughts before bed...

Good Night, Sleep tight!!!

I am winding down for bed. Hubby passed out somewhere around 5 after 10. I made him a cup of Yogi Sleep Aid tea. It's a great tea for sleep, but it's the first tea that I have ever known to come with a disclaimer. Apparently FDA hasn't proved or disproved the tea's effects on pregnant or nursing women. So it's recommended not to drink during those times. In fact, all the Yogi's teas have a disclaimer. Crazy. Silly homeopathics.

I am taking a cup of warm Roobios tea. (red tea from Madagascar--naturally decaffeinated). It tastes great and takes the edge off of my unfulfilled evening.

I have been a naughty Wiccan. I have not studied since Friday. Flow like the river. I just haven't been in the mood. If you have to force, then it's not worth the effort. I've just been sluggish.

My in laws, purchased a 1/4 of a cow. The had to reserve this cow. It's some sort of weird prestigious thing. Reserve at least 1/2 of a cow ( they went half with a lady at my mother-in-law's job) because the special butcher shop will only do this when there is at least that much to prepare. Anyway, The cow is chosen, hung up to bleed, and then cut up fresh while you wait. Everything is at special request and order. So you tell they guy how you want it. It's suppose to be a big thing. This weekend, they ate T-bone steaks. 50 lbs of beef, and do you think we got a mere morsel of it? But we did get to hear how good the steaks were. Maybe next weekend they'll feel like serving more, then we will be invited over for dinner. Officially. In this clan, interlopers are vampires, you have to be invited in. Hi! I'm Ms. Interloper. My Husband is Mr. Formerly One of Them-Interloper. He took my last name. Whatever.

The best is we get to hear about their trip to New Orleans. They went during Mardi Gras, but didn't plan on taking part of the festivities. So will get to hear about how different life is on a different planet known as New Orleans, LA. Maybe one day in the future when space travel is affordable to us kids we can go see other worlds too. Yes, I am being sarcastic. I love of they assume that life doesn't exist unless they've experienced it. And when I say they, I mean my mother-in-law. I really don't think she believes me when I say I'm from Georgia because she's never been so it must not exist.

Yeah, I should go to bed. I just needed to get that off my chest.

Outside noisy, inside empty.

Recovering from Manic Monday, or am I?


Hello Readers!

I can only describe Monday and Tuesday of this week by a photo. See Spawn above. Truly. I had a "Manic" Monday. Today, wasn't too much better. It seemed today that customers just annoyed me. Maybe I was just irritable and their customer-chismo, had a bad interaction with my Manic Monday hangover. Go fig.

I guess the two that truly mad me wanna cast "green balls of hell spawn" fury was the cute little old lady that wanted to return a bible she purchased yesterday because she needed a large print one. That was cool until she demanded that we honor the 25% off coupon she used yesterday to purchase the wrong print bible. Okay, let me say it again. She wanted, no, DEMANDED that we apply the coupon she used yesterday. I called a manager over. They are soooo much better at dealing with these types of people. I'm heartless. I would have told Little Red Riding Hood's Grandma to fuck off. She was already getting 20% with her membership card. Why ass rape us for an additional 25%? Whatever. The guy that came up to help me is completely awesome. He is really down to Earth and shares my total dislike for dumb asses. I respect that in a person.

Coupons are little sheets of paper shit out by the devil, ( If you believe in Satan, of course). For every one else, coupons are shards of void that will suck the Summerlands or Nirvana out of the reach of your soul forever.)

The second incident didn't happen to me, but to one the other employees. Her first call this morning was from a disappointed customer.
Apparently the customer waited for a couple of weeks for the DVD version of the book The Secret. After finally getting her copy on Monday, she watched. She didn't get half way through it. She call late this morning to see if she could get a full refund because she was dissatisfied with the DVD. Not the condition or service, but the content. The subject and substance that was boasted about on Oprah's show not once, but twice. The woman felt ripped off because Oprah promised this book would change her thinking/life, but the information was basically what someone else has said before without all the hype. So she felt she deserved a full refund for her dissatisfaction. I'm sorry. Again, I would have told little miss "I believe everything The Oprah says to be true and just," to fuck off. Thank Goodness someone else got that one. Nope. I would have held in my fury like I did with the little old lady, then transferred her to a manager so he/she could get a full dose of WTF.

That outta the way now, I feel so much better. I just wanna say, the 2 chapter I read out of The Secret wasted the 10 minutes it took for me to digest them. I think I gained two pounds of stupid from opening that book.

So what's going on with Wall Street? I guess the Dow Jones has been having some shitty moments over the last couple of years, but doing well since July . Today, I read/saw it was the worst since 9/11. I think there was something to do with what happen in China.

So one of my faithfuls was curious about my book choices. I guess favorite books of the "Not-so-smart" demon. Trust me, if I'm reading, you can too. I usually pick books that can hold the interest of an adult with the IQ of a wet sponge. Sorry if I just offended anyone. I choose books that are catchy and easy to get into. Usually. Some have been rough, example: Memoirs of Cleopatra, by Margaret George. It was a great book, but hard to start, continue, and finish. Six months later, I finished it.

makes the day so much more Is it weird to be known by your co-workers as the person that likes Vampire Romance books? I guess stereotyping sucks, but, I am hardly ever disappointed by a modern themed book with some sort of paranormal cast of characters. I love a little romance and some modern day wit. It brightens my day. Put those all together for me; even better day. I guess because my alter's daily life is so bland, over the top brain candy is so palatable. So if you are ready and want some title that are non threatening, and could use the ego pick me up (Have no fear. Very little learning goes on. Just entertainment.), here are some suggestions:
  • Any thing by Christopher Moore (Lamb, Coyote Blue, Stupidest Angel, Fluke)
  • Any thing by Chuck Palahniuk (Choke, Fight Club, Survivor)
  • Any thing by Dean Kootz ( Intensity, Shattered, Velocity, Odd Thomas, The Husband)
  • Any thing by Gregory Maguire (Wicked, Lost, Confessions of an Ugly Step-Sister)
  • Anything by Katie MacAlister (Girls Guide to Vampires, Corset Diaries, Aisling Grey Series, Men in Kilts)
  • Max Brooks's World War Z
  • Stephanie Rowe's Must Love Dragons (there is one before it, but I forgot the name.)
A book that caught my attention, ( thanks guys in the back room who think Vampire Romance then think me!!!) is Mario Acevedo's The Nymphos of Rocky Flats. I think it's being re-released with sequel and Mr Acevedo's next book , X-rated Blood Suckers. When I saw the word "nymphos" in the title, it didn't even dawn on me that the word "nymphos" was in the title. Just because it is I am going to get this book tomorrow when it goes on sale. The description did appeal to me. It seems to be a fast paced book filled with action, demons, humor, and romance. The main character (Surprise!!!) went to Iraq a soldier, and came back a vampire!!! Hello! That had me right there, and that is just the opening of the book. So, maybe I'll bump this book up next so I can write a review for it for work. Oh, Lamb, which I am reading is currently a paperback favorite. Can I pick'em!

I shall say "Adieu." My knight in a shinning Mazda Tribute took me to work today because we deemed it too much for my limited snow driving skills for me to get out of our driveway this morning. Little did we know after about 3 blocks, the main road was well salted. Just my luck, when I got out of work, there was no trace that it even snowed. Only the remainder on houses and yards from the last snow a week or so ago. So it's cuddle time. Scrubs is on and I wanna read a couple more pages of Lamb. Oh, I also pushed my tat date back to that Saturday, (17 March) for financial purposes. I don't like to give weak tips for good work.

My life according to Biff!



Good evening!

Since the last entry, I don't have any idea of where all my time went. It seems I was just clicking "Publish" five minutes ago. In actuality, it's been like 3 days! The pic is from the upcoming movie 300. It comes out the second week of March. It is based on the graphic novel by Frank Miller. This guy also did Sin City, another of one of my all time favorite movies. The story is of the battle of Thermopylae. Men in loin cloths and violence. How can a demon miss this?!!

Work has been a slight bit fast-paced. Not enough people and the schools were out for a week of vacation. Friday, however, was not so bad. I guess after coming ever day for a week, people took Friday morning off from shopping at the bookstore. Heh. Although, anyone can make a phone call and share their stupid questions/reasoning. What am I complaining for? Those make the time go by faster.

I finished Must Love Dragons, by Stephanie Rowe. That books was great. I love books that have the "Romeo-Juliet" attraction thing. In this book, A female dragon and a male dragon slayer end up falling in love. Okay, they live. So I guess it's quasi-Romeo and Juliet effect. There are all sorts of types in this book: pirates, magically relic guardians, Satan (no angels or god), and others I've never heard of such as Rivka. I am going to reserve a copy of then next book in the series. I also need to go back and read the first. Next in my book fetish, I bought Lamb, by Christopher Moore. I also purchased two other of his books. He is one of my new favorite authors, ( still number one is Katie Mac Alister). I describe his books as "dark" humor. I love it. I started reading Lamb last night. I'm a third of the way through so far. The book is about the life of Jesus told by his best friend, Biff who is brought back to life by a "dusty-duty" angel to write his account of life with Joshua, (Jesus is apparently the Greek translation of the Hebrew name Yeshua or Joshua). It's starts at Biff and Joshua's meeting when they were six. It is great. Total thumbs up so far. Two demon recommendations.

So last night, I was telling Hubby about this new report I heard on TV a couple of days ago. Something about a man suing IBM for firring him with out giving him a chance to go through rehab for his addiction to porn. Thank goodness I've been to Iraq! When I get older, I'm gonna do something completely idiotic, but then use the war scapegoat to get out of trouble or to at least get some monetary compensation for it. I guess Harvey Birdman said it best: "I'll take the case!" America is truly the land of opportunity. No wonder other countries hate us!

I didn't tell you! The appraisal for our house came in at $158,000!!!!! We only bought our house for $105,000!!!!!! Yeah!!!!!!! So next week we will sign some papers, pay off our credit cards, then finish the bathroom. Hopefully, even get Homuculus spayed so she'll stop pissing next to the toilet. Maybe she thinks she's suppose to go on the pot too? She does lack oposible thumbs to lift the toilet lid.

Anyway, I found the link to my tattoo artist's website Here take a look at Scott's work.
The shop is called Mystery Ink Tattoos . They do really good work. I have referred them to a couple of people. Their prices are pretty decent too. I'm a nut because I believe in tipping tat artist's well. Let's think, they are putting permanent art on your body. If it looks good and makes you feel proud, then tip them well. The really don't make much off of you. Most of it goes back to the shop for supplies, utilities, and rent. So tip them well. It's one of those circle things. My goal with my tat's is to be like one of those yakuza boss' with the body covered. A living work of art. After the tree is done on my back, I will be doing a cover-up on my hip. A big western style dragon with wings and fire perching on my hip. I'm looking for ideas if any one out there has any. Send me links or pics.

I should go, my pride of cats are giving me the look, and Hubby has put empty rock star cans in front of me on my desk like a little fence.


If you have come to these pages for laughter,
may you find it.
If you are here to be offended, ma your ire rise
and you blood boil.
If you seek an adventure, may this story sing you
away to blissful escape.

I'm off to "Drunken" lullabys!!!


Good night readers!

I'm typing kinda late. I got preoccupied with a bunch, I started my workout late, and dinner even later! Top that with a 3 store search for Yogi Healing Formula tea, I am so outta sync. Well, the Triple Echinacea tea has kicked in, and I feel better. Not great, but better. Enough to function with out chemical aid. Well, that's a lie. I'm gonna take a non-drowsy nasal decongestant to help me breathe a little better when I sleep. Other than that, 3 cups a day of Echinacea is lethal to flu, cold, and sinus ailments.

Today, I have two bitches!

The first is under staffing. Our store is trying to make up SPH from last fiscal year. How do ya do that? Cutting back on hours and staffing. Not a great strategy going into a government holiday and school vacation, ( not sure why the kids are out, but they are). This morning, there was 3 of us to handle the morning rush. One at info, one upstairs, and me. I spent a considerable amount of time at the cash register which is cool because people tend to not be too big of an asshole when they are trying to pay for their stuff and get the hell out. Everyone else in the store was either a shelver or doing zone maintenance. Of course the cafe, music, and children's department probably had their own under staffing issues, but those don't directly affect me. On the brighter note, my department manager left because his fiancee' went into labor. Congrats!!!

My second bitch is the $ 1.2 million dollars the Atlanta/ Georgia tax payers have forked out for the case of Brian Nichols. I have been following this case since Mar 05. I was sitting in a chow hall in Iraq when this news break showed a rapist who was on trial managed to take the weapon from a bailiff and kill the bailiff, the judge, I think one or two other people, then flea from the Atlanta Courthouse. He then proceeded to carjack some one, and travel as far out as I think it was Duluth in Gwinnett County ( two counties to the East of Atlanta which is located in Fulton County), before he was captured. I don't really know what his story is/was, but I have it now. Being a native Georgian, born in Grady's Memorial hospital and raised in the ATL metro area, I feel a personal disgust for wasting money when a bullet to the head ( a cost of maybe 3 bucks) would have taken care of. Dude, he was eluding justice! Why the hell did someone not take him out. On top of that, he plead guilty!!!!!! Now Georgians will not only be wasting money for his trial, they will have to pay to keep him healthy and sheltered until he can be executed!!!! WTF!!!!

It's amazing how husbands are. Hubby tripped into a pot hole and hurt is good ankle. I tell ya if he is not waiting on Darwinian Law to rapture him! Anyway, he has been limping for a full day and almost half a night. He won't go to the doctor, but he expects me to make him feel better and heal him. Doesn't help that I'm not feeling well. Why can't I be hurt or sick by myself which would force him to take care of me for once? He always has to bite on my pain and one up me!!!! That's okay, I'm buying a new pair of shoes to get even!

It's getting late, almost tomorrow. I need to scoop Hubby off the couch, (I may need a crane!) and get him tucked into bed. I don't understand why he can't pass out in the bed, and save me 30 minutes of grief. Just like why he can't wait for me to back out of the driveway when he comes home at night so I don't spend 15 minutes in the morning playing musical chairs with our cars so I can go to work in the morning. I just don't get husbands sometime. I guess men are truly from Mars.

My send off tonight is Fairy tales by Carlos Mencia.

Good night, sleep tight, and don't let the bed bugs bite (unless your a zoophiliac, then it's alright, well, sick, gross, and probably illegal, but don't ask don't tell!!!) I love Wikipedia!!!

I hope they serve Amaretto in Hell!!!


Evening people!

I told someone at work I would use these title. This is actually a title of a book, I They Serve Beer in Hell, by Tucker Max. The book looks funny as hell so maybe I'll look into it. If anyone has read it, please by all means share.

For the last 31 hours, my sinuses have been a battlefield. Between headaches, pressure, nasal congestion, and tightening in my throat, I have been a disabled bitch. I finally found my Triple Echinacea blend. Hey, does tea expire? The bottom of the box has a sell by date of 9 Feb 07. Amazingly we can predict the exact day something goes bad. Pretty soon it will be down to the hour. How armageddonish! So the last 24 hours, I have been in that wonderful medicine head haze thanks to Tylenol Sinus day and night. Amazingly that stuff can fuck you up with out actually working. I usually just go for generic antihistamines because with those and an Alieve, you can actually taste individual air particles and smell the pictures flashing on TV.

You can imagine I haven't been little Miss Sunshine. I tried to avoid answering phones at work as much as possible. I really didn't want to call anyone a dumb shit. The only person I got close to call one was a woman who got a message yesterday that one book of her order was in. So she called to figure out why the other 2 didn't come in. First of all, she only ordered two books which she realized after wanting to speak to my manager because I wasn't helpful. Before I could transfer her she screams, " Wait! I have my order form here. I only ordered two books. So where's my other one?" So after I told her it was received 10 minutes before she called for the third time, she stop being a dumb bitch. I guess now that she wasn't focused on 3 books, but 2 life was rosy for her. Whatever, whore!

I hear James Brown body will finally be laid to rest within the next couple of days. Dude, the guy died on Christmas day. Between his 6 kids, his mate/partner ( ????), and a judge, Mr. "It Feels Good," inside his gold casket will finally get his peace.

Not much going on in my world. The appraisal was done to day for our house. Hopefully everything will go smoothly for the refinance. We are due to sign papers at the lawyers office on Thursday. It would be great to know a time. I guess people that make more than minimum wage can be spontaneous. I personally cannot afford ill planning.

If you will excuse me, I feel like shit. I don't even feel like working out. Last week I only did Pilate's, and now I feel fat. So to drown my woes, I ate 75% off Valentine's day chocolates and washed it all down with Birthday Cake ice cream. I will have to resume this rant tomorrow (Goddess willing.)

When you see clearly the problem is solved --Krishnamurti

Good Night and Good Luck,

Trying to catch up with this here blog!!!

Good President's Day weekend!

Can you guess what the pic is? It is a photo mosaic of Pres. Abraham Lincoln. Well I think it's photo mosaic. I know it's a Dali. So maybe it's just weird.

So I guess I have been lazy. I wanted to blog 2 days ago, and now I'm just getting to it. I had so much to rant about, and now, it just seems trivial. Well, no since in wasting a good bitch!

Let's start with Ms. Anna Nicole Smith. If this isn't a case of accidental fame, I don't know what is. Did any of you really know who this broad was before she died? No. Stop equating her to Marilyn Monroe. Not even in the same league. The chic just happened to trip over good fortune. She was a complete fuck up of an individual, and is now more famous in death ( isn't that how it always is) than she ever was alive. I only know of her from Naked Gun 33 1/3, and the Trim Spa commercials. So now we have at least 4 guys claiming to be the father of her daughter poor little Dannielynn. Whoa. Is this not a phucked up name. Really. Couldn't we have hyphenated it or spaced it out? I admit my name is pretty bad, but at least it's not two names having an orgy!!!! I can understand the ex boyfriend's claim and her commitment partner, Howard K. Stern, but, what the fuck is a commitment partner? Who the hell came up with this? Is this we want to be married, but that is too institutionalized of a concept for us, so we are commitment partners instead? I don't understand. I guess it's common law marriage with out any legal rights. I don't think he even can be granted her estate. Who the fuck would want all the gushy perks of marriage, but with no legal benefits. The greatest sign the ass Stern is an idiot is that he is a lawyer. Finally I lawyer getting screwed! Way to go, Moron!

What's the deal with Zsa Zsa Gabor's husband throwing his name into the hat. Doesn't that bastard have enough money and fame to even worry about getting this poor child's life jacked up even more? What's this ass's name? Frédéric Prinz von Anhalt. Look asshole. Go off and suck Zsa Zsa's dick. Finally, I think there is a body guard claiming this is his kid. I guess every horny, whore loving, money grubbing asshole wants to try to do an "Ebay" bid on this kid. Poor little girl. We won't even get into the rights for her remains for burial. This poor whore's life was a three ring circus. She can't even rest in peace because Barnum and Bailey's gone into a an extended showing. Let that be a lesson to us all. Have a will. Always keep track of who you sleep with, what the outcomes are ( pregnancy, diseases,etc), and get closure before you move on. If you are going to dip into the bottomless pussy or dick, always have protection. Finally, don't do anything unless you have a legal and binding contract!!!

So I'm saying this now. When I go. Cremate me my Lord Sesshomaru doll and scatter my ashes around a lighthouse in the Cape!!!!!

I'm sure may of you have heard, we had our first snow storm last week. I guess now since it's warming up winter is over. I can't believe the craziness. I can understand us Southerners be weird when the white stuff drops, but everyone else needs to grab some and get over it. It snows hard, fast, and furious from Maine down to DC and from the east to the west. Why the hell are assholes in the snow region of the great US of A bitching about flight delays and cancellations. Get a fucking clue. Winter means snow. If you wanted to travel with no winter weather delays/cancellations, maybe you should have waited until June!!!! Fucking whinny bitches!

However, I can give some sympathy for the poor so-n-so's trapped a plane on the tarmac of Kennedy Airport for approximately 8 hours. Can you believe that they wouldn't even let these poor bastards have a drink? Look, being trapped on a plane for half a day in the freezing cold, with a hysterical bitch locked in the lavatory definitely calls for a muther fucking cocktail, brandy, or some 151!

Next my favorite stories that came across the air waves. I can't begin to give my comments for these so write me a feel free to give me your thoughts:

1. An Air Force Sergeant bares it all for Playboy
2. Couple locks their 11 adopted kids in cages
3.Troops getting more rest in between tours to Iraq

All I can say is: There is nothing wrong with showing a little skin, but for god sakes, female soldiers can really not use their actually work clothes in skin magazines! Female military have it hard enough as it is without being seen as the "Bad" Drill Sergeant just waiting to rip her clothes off for the hopeless recruits! If you want to pose naked, do what I would have done: be the queen of Shebah or Sabrina the slutty witch! Xena is also one of my favorites!!! The 11 kids, well I'm all for corporal punishment, but cages. That's a little pedophilish don't ya think? Finally, the answer to troop surge in Iraq is mandatory 2-year civil services! Maybe if everyone had to go, we could actually think of a way to get out of Iraq. Hey every other country has mandatory service, and do you see them starting wars in suicide bombing countries. Nope. Come on people. Freedom ain't free and democracy is not a free ride. I'm just saying if you want to scream justice, freedom, and equality be sure you can back that up and freaking fight for it!

Now, I am awaiting any reactions, opinions, and complaints!

I got this send off from a fortune cookie:

Happy Valentine's Day!!






Happy Valentine's Day or "Persecute Single People" Day.

I begin this Valy's Day by watching my2 favorite Dave Chappelle's clips. Enjoy! I have some other clips to share with you. I figure this is my gift to everyone so now you can't say you didn't get anything. This is so much better than roses!!!!

So I have been trying to catch up on Mr. George W Bush. I think this clip says it best.
Black Bush

What the hell. So we are sending 21,000 more troops over to Iraq for the safety of our soldiers in Iraq. Sure. Whatever. I guess that makes since. I'm sure the person that explained this to Georgey, made it sound a hell of a lot better than how I interpreted it. Oh, and what the hell is this shit about give North Korea money and oil to disarm? What the fuck? Maybe if we gave fucking Iraq and Iran money maybe they wouldn't have been so pissed off at us! Oh wait, we did, but some how doing deals under the guise of the UN seems to have fucked in the long run. Let me get this straight. We are giving money to a member of the supposed "Axis of Evil," ( yeah, did we forget about this slur?) to play nice. Did we become pussy over the last 4 years, or do we only attack nations were men wear dresses and have a surplus of a natural resource? Fucking free oil! Maybe as a nation we should put together a friggin' uranium enrichment program, so we can get money and oil from our own damn government! Stop the madness!!

Yes. We had our first snow storm of the season (not to be confused with the first snowfall). We got about 2 1/2 to 3 inches. Of course, when I got up for work, no plowing, and very little salting had occurred in my neck of the woods. Let me just say, I don't live in the boondocks. I am in one of the larger cities in the state. The roads were crap today. If one didn't need to be out, then home should have been the place of duty. Schools were closed. I mean, for a place were there are 4 seasons and snow is common, why was there complete lunacy yesterday at the grocery stores and gas stations? I waited for over an hour for gas yesterday. Yea, I could have gone to another gas station, but my light was on. I was also boxed in.

At work today, we were empty except for the occasional idiot that honestly believed there was a book in our store that was absolutely necessary for existence. Our regulars came in and sat as they usually do, so they were excused. Pretty much those that came to work between 7 to 8 AM, were the only ones that came in. We ended up closing early. So we all stayed until the store closed at 3 PM. People are amazing. We got phone calls asking if we were holding day activities for kids out of school for the inclement weather ( because it's too much for parents to actually take care of their kids, or keep them safe by letting them stay at home like the ED department did), if we can stay open longer so customers could drive to the store and pick up books, why we were closing early when people are willing to shop in our store, and my favorite phone call of the day: why we couldn't have every issue from the last 13 months of ESPN the magazine. I love people. Most people have a self-absorbed attitude; a why me or "it's all about me" delusion. It seems to come out more during holidays, stressful moments, and inclement weather. I know people just don't think sometimes, but what frightens me is that most do.

The last thing that is on my mind is how ignorant I must be. Amazingly, since I started working at the bookstore, I have discovered there are a stock pile of mentally disabled, physically handicapped, and/or syndrome plagued children. Seriously. How many people do you know have Asperger's disorder? I didn't know this existed until about a month ago when this cute, informative book All Cats have Asperger's, was released. Yesterday, I found out a work associate of my husband, has a child with Kawasaki's disease. Again, were are these disorders/diseases coming from? When I was growing up, I didn't know anyone with anything close to these problems. I'm not making fun of anyone, but, have we as a nation reached the shallow end of the gene pool? Is evolution coming into play? It seems one out of every four kids has some type of problem. Then we label them, and now they have a life long excuse. They are babied by their families and teachers. Organizations with good intentions are formed for public awareness, but what happens is the public is then flooded with information, opinions, and excuses.

Not to be a heartless bitch, but what happens when this generation of protected kids have to take the reigns in 15 to 20 years? Do you really want a president with ADHD? We already have had several morons, do we really wanna keep testing the odds? Not saying that these people won't be good leaders and have bright futures, but we can't keep providing pillows to step on over the rocky path of life. If we don't give them what they need to be strong mentally and physically, we are the next Afghanistan, Iraq, North Korea, Sudan, Ugandan etc. Hey, I plan on leaving way before that happens. I going to retire in either Japan or Ireland. Were they still give tough, but just love when it is needed (not in spite or evil). The "softening" of America is problem one of the main reasons I just don't wanna have kids. I mean, I don't want to play Russian Roulette with the health of my unborn kids. Sorry. I never said I was a nice person. I just say how it is.

So I guess I've gone one way too long tonight. I have no plans for Valy's Day. Hubby's asleep on the couch. He picked me up from work today because he didn't think it was safe for me to drive home. I made it there okay, but some of the snow build on the roads this afternoon, yep, my red dragon would have had a hard time. Hubby has his moments. I did how ever do a small candle ritual.

Happy Valentine's Day, and to all a good and lusty night!
Valentine's for lovers and for friends.
All my love goes out to you this day!
Love is something different from desire:
Even, silent, peaceful as the sky.
Nor is love interested in means or ends.
There are no selfish needs that it must weigh.
Instead, love's plenitude itself inspires,
Needing neither cause nor reason why.
Each day my thoughts enchanted with you lie.

I've gotta case of the Mondays!




Hello all my lovely bloggees!

My head is still aching from the surplus of frustration I developed today at work.

The one thing I truly hate about my job is answering the phone. I think because a person can't see you, the or she feels it is okay to be either more aggressive, ruder, and/or demeaning. They don't have to associate a soul with their harshness so it's cool. I was looking for the gentleman that handles institutional orders so, I called the info desk hoping someone there could at least point me to the right direction. What did I get instead? A customer. A customer answered the one of the phones on the inside of the info area. I have no idea how this guy figured out I was an employee, but he preceded:

" Hello, I'm a customer at the customer service desk,
and I have been waiting here for ten minutes. Could you come here?
I have a question, and a book I need someone to find."

The guy hung up without letting me speak. I was kinda at the cash register with a customer. I'm so glad he gave me time to explain that while I understood his situation, I was busy at the time. While taking a breath, and counting slowly to five in my head, I noticed one of the managers found her way over to him. I don't think I would have been so annoyed had he not just hung up on me.

Another phone conversation was concerning Nora Roberts new book Table for Two: Summer Desserts/Lessons Learned. It's like the Nora Roberts' junkies don't understand, "No!!!! The book will not be out until 1 March!!!!! Today is the 12th of February!!!! I spent 10 minutes on the phone with one woman explaining to her that a "pre-order/reservation" does not mean that her book will come in earlier than anyone else's. Also, I had to explain to here that her pre-order/reservation will be held for her, and not given away as soon as the store door opens. Do you know she still had the brass cojones to ask whether she should call tomorrow to see if her book came in early? What the fuck??!!! Is Nora put little hits of crack in the pages of her books? I just finished Morrigan's Cross, and trust me, no tweeking on my part.

I also got an older gentleman with a hearing add, a lady that returned a book because the first page was creased. No. Not torn, but creased. The straw that broke the camel's back was the adorable, yet exasperating Irish duo (accents and everything) that kept buying the wrong Mitch Albom book. If at least 10% of the men in Ireland look as good as these two, I am really gonna love the Emerald Isle!!!!!

My freaking cats have reached the "annoying pet" level. One of them has managed to make a litter box out of our bedroom closet since the destruction of our bathroom. Just a little kitty water to show how upset sick-in-the-head cat is. This weekend, this cat reved the level of his/her "Real-o-meter," and kicked it into overdrive. This cat that shall not be named left us kitty poodles. And just as I thought this was just a random act of fucked-upness, it happened again on Saturday. So we put our closet door back up( we had an awesome stripped curtain instead). The curtain is still up. I love the curtain. Wasn't so sure about it at first, but it does give the room much needed character. The answer to kitty warfare. Doors with locks, Pet stain remover, Lysol, and those awesome scented cones. Sorry, if you got animals, there just gonna hurt you the way they know how. At least our floors are hardwood. Furry Bastards!!! (They so don't know there dads! Although I think Maxx and Mucky are Pops and daughter!)

No word on the inspection. Maybe I'll ask tomorrow. Heh. Three are sitting on my monitor. I should give them some attention. I've got some clips for tonight. Enjoy!

If I could only bitch slap someone!!!




Hi guys!

I don't like to start of with violence, but tonight. I just want to reach my hand up some arrogant, desperate ass, and yank out humble poo with a little small intestine to boot!

My day was going swimmingly until, I made a brief stop in our local mall. I was only there to buy incense. On my way out, I passed the two T- Mobile stores. First of all, do they really need two? Are they hurting that bad that they need to have one store for retail, and then an "oh shit second chance" store? Whatever. I guess that's why Catherine Zeta Jones isn't doing there commercials any more. I don't know anyone who currently has T - Mobile service, but the one person I used to know that had it, wasn't very fond of it, and when his contract was up, he switched to Nextel.

It's the same thing every time. I'm not just talking about the mall closest to me, I'm talking about every T - Mobile store and stand I have ever passed. What do they do? Hire the most arrogant, aggressive, ill-mannered, rejects they can find? Do they seriously have on their job application, "Are you willing to be a total asshole and completely demean anyone who does not switch/purchase our service?" Just in my immediate area, there are three malls each with at least one T - Mobile retail spot, and everyone the employees have treated me like utter crap because I'm happy with my service, and I am unwilling to try there plans. I've been with Cingular since 2004, and I have never felt uncomfortable or pressured from any of their sales reps.

The last incident with T - Mobile was today, and I was talking to the Manager on Duty. He literally told me that wasn't "quality" for T- Mobile's service. While I was talking to him, he walked away. This is of course after he has hunted me down from the mall, and asked if he could show me comparative rates between my Cell phone provider and T - Mobile. I told him before he even started I wasn't interested, but he had a cool pen he said I could have for just listening to the offer. I can't resist a free pen. I guess I'm easy. He then asked for my name and phone number so the company can send me my new free phone with no fees for eleven months. " Dude, I'm on a plan with 3 other phones. I just use roll over minutes because I don't use my phone enough for my on plan." He kept on not listening to me, and giving me some lip service about how T - Mobile created GSM. How T - Mobile is the only cell provider that works outside of Massachusetts and internationally. I caught him right there because I got my phone in Washington State, and I've used my phone in Canada. This all made him very pissy. Which lead to he wouldn't want my commission anyway and that I wasn't "quality." What the fuck does that mean? He can go fuck himself with T - Mobile's variation of the Razor. Seriously that was the last fucking straw. Does anyone know who I can make a complaint with. I've had this kinda issue with not only Mass T -Mobile sales folks, but with Connecticut and Washington State ones.

And what's with this astronaut chic that went crazy? Really. Come on Lisa!!! This chic has gone to the International Space Station. She is a role model to not just kids that gaze up at the stars and dream, but to girls. Very few women are breaking the mold in public view, here's one and she decides to go nuts!!???!!!! She's married for 19 years with three kids, and she pulls a "Jerry Springer" on us. She gets a Yokai's "This bitch is CRAZY," stare. Just what we need. Another emotional basket case to make all women look like crap. Maybe T - Mobile should hire her.

It must be true what they say, "Truth is stranger than fiction." It's definitely more entertaining.

My ISO cert exam is tomorrow. I'm bringing my lucky jade snake key chain for luck. Stop laughing. I was born year of the Snake so snakes are lucky for me. Probably not on planes, but that's neither here nor there. Wish me luck!

It has managed to be so cold in my little house at night, our cats curl up next to us in bed UNDER the covers.

Congrats to the guys and gals that complete an uphill sprint on the stairs of the Empire State Building. You people are sick. Healthy, just not all there. These people are true superheroes. Me, I would have died on step 26. Yes. I do Pilate's everyday, and I would still die. Painfully.

Tonight Lost is back on. Since it's on an hour later, maybe I will try to catch up.

Later.

Here's a bit of one of my favorite poems for ya.

Tyger! Tyger! burning bright In the forests of the night, What immortal hand or eye Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

Tao of Yokai


Good Evening!


Today was filled with frustrating phone calls, a sincere good bye to one of the managers in my store, biting cold weather, and cat fur tumbleweeds.

I guess I should start out with the Tao of Pooh. This book has been out for a while, and after speaking with a customer on the phone, I finally remembered I wanted to buy this book. So I checked it out at work. So far, I've read the forward and the first 3 pages. That is more than I have managed to read from Nora Robert's Morrigan's Cross. Not that I don't like Nora's book, it's just it takes a lot for me to sit down and read it. After a month now, I've read 78 pages. I suck. I'm digressing. Tao of Pooh. So far I've learned that excitement of life is all the little things that construct it. Pooh is apparently more wise than we thought. Silly ole bear.

This entry, I've decided to call Tao of Yokai. Not to toot my own horn, but, I think my rants should be a national following. Maybe if more people were dodging the "stupid stick," the world would be a much... who the hell am I kidding? The world more complicated in an uncomplicated way. The simplicity of life as a concept has been advanced so much, we require manuals and guides to get us through, ie. Self help books written by pompous Texans that were given the celebrity title through more pompous double minorities.

Life is simple. Stop making it difficult. Men and women are anatomically, physically, mentally, and emotionally different. We are not equal in any sense. Sorry. We ain't. We think differently. We experience the world differently. We even have different languages. Once you come to grips with this astonishing realization, relationships become a whole lot easier. I know, pot calling the kettle black, but so many of our gender related problems are because we assume that the other is the same, so we don't listen and we stop learning. We can't. This is what happened to the do do bird. Yeah, they started taking all there problems to their version of Dr. Phil. So for just once, stop and listen. Notice I said listen, not hear. Instead of a bitter argument, give out hugs and smiles. Or, spark up a doobie. Whatever paints tye dye.

Life is about being. Religion/faith/ beliefs aside for a moment. Yes, you can actually take these out of a conversation and it's not blasphemous. This is call being open-minded. Trust me. Someone along time ago was very open-minded when all these faiths came into being. So just listen/read. No one can physically prove what happens after you die. I'm not saying splurge ridiculously on life, but, enjoy it. What good is it that such a beautiful world with such wonder and splendor was created if no one absorbs it. Not like greenhouse effects, tards! How many people do you know that have been on a volcano? I have. Flown across a desert? I have. Lived in a valley? I have. Seen and bustled through a forest? I have. How about tasted the water of at least two different oceans? Gross, I know, but I've done it. Just think about. How have you enjoyed our beautiful planet? Maybe you should if you haven't. It would be a shame if you died, and have never experience this world. Your epitaph would say, " Here lies ( fill in your name). Never once left his/her home. Never once took a chance. Never once lived.

Life is too short, but an eternity if not spent well. To go along with the above, use your life. What I am slowly learning is your life is not based on a instance. Many instances, yes. Once bad moment opens up to several good ones. Moments are steps. Those steps lead to a path. The path becomes a journey. The end matters not. It is the journey that measures your character. Enjoy where you are (for better or worse). However, don't settle.

Life is about respect. Respect is can either be a one way or a two way street. In a professional way, respect goes down to subordinates. Without giving respect, one cannot expect loyalty. Loyalty does not necessarily means respect, but it can. Without loyalty a corporation or an empire will fall. Once loyalty is in place, respect will follow. In personal ways respect is two way. To get you must give. Respecting everything and everyone or the crucial part it/they play in our universe. Without respect, only voids exists. Voids are cold and empty. Voids depend on nothing. Nor do they give anything. Voids are what exist when nothing else does. There is no negative or positive. Just nothingness.

So deep. This was brought on from work today. I received so many phone calls that the callers were either extremely rude, insensitive, or ignorant. Maybe it was just a bad day because of the weather. I hate when attitudes are blamed on the weather. Humans are a thinking creature, and should not blame their actions on the abstract. Rule of three. Don't forget. So behave out there!

Have a blessed evening!

On Tuesday when it hails and snows,
The feeling on me grows and grows
That hardly anybody knows
If those are these and these are those.

If I'm Brian, you're Peter!!!





Good evening and Salutations my friends.

We celebrate today by consuming large amounts of Shepard's Pie. Yeah, I'm so stuffed.

Let's move pass my food issues.

No really. There's nothing to celebrate today unless you are considering unbirthdays. Then go ahead.

Did anyone see the Super Bowl? Who won? Wait. This is where my life is. It is 8:40 pm the Monday after Super Bowl, and I have to go online to see who won. Congrats to the Colts and all their fans. I guess if I were a betting girl, I would go with the Colts too. I never was a big fan of the Bears.

Not much is going on here. Work was somewhat slow. First of Mooey is fucking fired for not waking me up this morning. Since I got that fat bastard, he has awaken me at 4 in the morning because that's when he thinks I should be getting up to serve him breakfast. So this ill-fated morning, when I failed to set my alarm, the least he could have done was pounce on my chest at 5 am from the top of our new bed's head board. I mean, he has only been landing on me from a foot to a foot and a half for the last 3 months. Fucking Fired!

Mondays are always my catch up days. I usually don't work weekends, so I scurry around all Monday trying to put things in order. Today, the Store Manager was conducting ISO on Zone 4 and Front list. I wonder if he checked my area? I guess that's the only thing from work, wait. There was that one phone call.

I guess I shouldn't make fun of the guy. I mean, he truly believed in what he does, so who am I to judge. This guy called looking for a book of names. After about 10 minutes of searching through baby name books, I finally asked the guy what he needed the names for. You know, to see if maybe I was barking up the wrong tree. This is what he said:

" I am a Christian, and I think you won't understand if I explain it." Cool, guy go ahead. "I get premonitions during my dreams , and the names of the people in the dreams indicate future happenings. I just don't know what the names mean, so I need a book that has exact meanings of proper names."

So I go through the baby name books again. Try on our computer. Finally, I walk to the Christian Inspiration section. No luck. After another 5 minutes of getting an earful of how powerful names are, he politely ended the phone call. After a minute. I started thinking about that name thing. So far, the only meaning for my name that I've found is "peerless." What does that say about me. Right now. I'm thinking it means " Alone". Maybe there is something to what that guy is saying.

It snowed at the end of last week, and what snow is left is quickly turning to ice. Our whole road is a sheet of ice which I found out due to my late wake up. Oh by the way, guess who woke me up? Hubby. There is an episode of Family guy where the FCC has gone wild censoring everything. Lois admits that Peter's right. He has been waiting 15 years to hear that he was right. He pulls on a rope suspended from the ceiling which releases a banner exclaiming, "Peter's Right," and red balloons fall from the ceiling. Also the skeleton of a clown falls. Yep, now imagine that except it's Hubby and me. Tragic. We are now 1200 to 1. He's catching up, that trixie shaved St Bernard.

Heroes is on. I shall have to let you go. Oh, Hostage. Completely good. You should totally rent it. Bruce Willis as a drunken, depressed divorcee with a lot of clot as the Chief of Police. Lots of drama, tears, and blood. What else do you need. Also the plot's not too bad. The downfall of the movie, he's movie daughter is really unattractive. Once you bypass that, you are good to hook!

Good night.

The more we care for the
happiness of other, the greater
is our own sense of well-being.

Dalai Lama (this guy is a genius!)


Lois
: You were right Peter Peter: No way! I finally get to do this! (pulls on a rope which drops balloons and confetti and unrolls a banner that says Peter's Right) Peter: I had that set up fifteen years ago. (looks around) Hey where's the clown? Lois: We have to do something about the FCC. Pack your bags, Peter, we're going to Washington DC. (skeleton with a clown nose and a rainbow afro wig falls from the ceiling) Peter: Oh, there he is.

"I, I will survive."


Happy Super Bowl Sunday!!!

I know I said I don't like doing entries on Sunday, but I had to update you guys on Friday night.

To sum it up, It's amazing what Tiki man full of rum and fruit punch will help you endure. We saw the show, ate two platters of mystery meat, watched people of questionable ethnicity dance to Polynesian music, and got tipsy.

While I was upset with this woman, I totally forgot about her daughters. I promised to let them know when their books came out. In the void, I totally forgot, so the entire night they nagged me about these romance books. Finally after dodging a bunch of stupid questions, I said yes, I believe they are all out. So I guess I'll confirm that tomorrow. So I couldn't really hate the evening, Rum filled Tiki man came home with me. Score!!!!

Earlier this week, I meant to mention, this guy at work let me borrow his copy of Origin, the True Story of Wolverine. It was awesome. Enlightening. Explains how Mr. Logan, became our favorite ill-tempered X-men. By the way, Logan isn't even his real name. Try John. You have to read this bad boy if you are a Wolverine fan. Oh, those claws of him. Completely his before the Adamantiam.

Yesterday I saw Epic Movie. Just skip this one folks. Trust me. This was an unplanned regurgitated bastard of a movie. The ten bucks I paid to watch this seventy minute piece of not even accidentally fun crap was a downer. I knew we should have just snuck into Smoking Aces.

We are spending Super Bowl Sunday catching up and watching my latest installment of Blockbuster Online movies: Requiem of a Dream, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Employee of the Month, and Hostage. So far, the only movie that was questionable was "Requiem of a Dream." It is definitely different. It wasn't bad, it was just an artsy fartsy movie that neither Hubby, nor I was really in the mood for. Very depressing it was. We are on the last, Hostage. It stars Bruce Willis. The other two, were pretty good. Totally suggest you rent them.

The weekend is over. I tried to not dread my ISO inspection this weekend. I figured since I was at home for the next two days there was really nothing I could do about it. Fingers crossed. I hope that it was done this weekend while I wasn't there, and that it was done, over with, and the section passed with flying colors. So I can come in on Monday, and Bam!!! Sigh of relief. Then, I kinda want it done tomorrow so I have time to straighten up. I dunno. Goddess give me strength and you blessing! I need a drink!

Well, now that I have made myself nervous again, I'm gonna go. I can't believe I'm shaking. Wow, I'm a loser. It's amazing the power of the mind. Now if I can only will a million dollars into my hands. Nope. Not happening. Maybe if I think about something else. Oh I know.

So spent time with my in-laws this weekend. My mother -in-law is in the final round. That sounds so sad , doesn't it? After the last diagnosis of cancer for the third time, she has got a grand total of shit outta luck. A spot of lung cancer, kidney cancer, metastasized bone cancer, the area of the femur where her metal rod is connecting is metastasized and weakening, two hernias, and constant pain. Not to mention a winning attitude. Well guess you can't blame her this time for being a bitch. That whole life is going to end slowly and painfully does put a damper on things. Her ill health (mental and physical) has spread to her immediate family (Hubby and in-laws). They are seeing life to be just a crappy. I see a very cold and bitter future coming up.

So being the Wiccan that I am, I purchased some healing stones and a crystal for her. But you know how it goes. Doesn't really matter what my intentions are if she doesn't accept them, then I can't give them to her. Whole rule of three thing. Sometime the thought isn't what counts. I think that's what makes being Wiccan so different. Christians tell you they'll pray for you all the time. It's cool, because in that faith anything you do is okay as long as it's good according to the faith. With Wicca, you cannot force your beliefs and practices onto anyone. You can offer. If it is not accepted to proceed would go against the rule of three. Doesn't matter if it is good and kind act. There are ways kinda around it. I could use them for myself to help me get through her pain and suffering which can indirectly help her by providing me with the best way to make her comfortable. But, that's a bit deep, and I don't feel like discussing that right now.

I have decide to put in motion my plans for Ireland 2008. I have to inform some of my friends. I want it to be a girls' trip. I know two that will definitely go. I just have to put a proposal together. This is going to be fun.

So I have held you enough with my ramblings. Enjoy you Super Bowl Sunday. I don't really care for the two teams involved. Go Colts! Go Bears! There. It's even.

Night!

Faith is an oasis in the heart
which can never be reached
by the caravan of thinking.

Please bless my Pimp Hand so that it will strike strong and true!


Evening Peeps!

I close my evening by ranting about the first thing I hear this morning on Headline News. Apparently there was a bomb scare in Boston yesterday. A couple of fellas posted throughout Boston approximately 8 light boards that were in the image of a "Mooninite." These creatures are characters from Adult Swim's TV short Aqua Teen Hunger Force. The light boards were part of a promotion aimed at boosting ratings for the show. I affectionately call this the "Mooninite Scare". Of course, this would be received as a bomb scare. Because bomber would really want to post a bomb that looks like the above pic. Although, the raised middle finger would express alot of anger, so maybe the paranoid bomb freaks out there can be kinda justified with their responses. I bet if they were American Idol or Grey's Anatomy light boards, it would be a different fucking story. Hey, maybe Homeland Security is behind the legions of ignorant parents behind the boycott of Harry Potter? Anyway, there are 10 cities involved with this promotion. No one guessed"Liberalachusetts / Conservachusetts" (This place is too extreme to denote which one would better suit this state so I went with both) would be the one to flip the hell out. I guess it really does suck to not be part of the mainstream.

Today was suppose to be my ISO inspection at work. I was so busy setting up displays today, I didn't get a chance to tidy up my area and prep for the inspection. I'm sure I will pass, I'm just nervous. I don't want to fuck up, and then get less hours or lose the section I'm working in. Hey, I'm justified. This is my first inspection since I started working at the bookstore. I set up 4 displays and redid my Audio Bestseller bay. So I was busy. I still need to prep for my Game and Puzzle reset (a lot of work), reset my mini-kit spinner, and prep everything for the game and puzzle clearance table. I don't know what I'm gonna get done tomorrow, and do the ISO inspection. So my healing and spiritual stones are going to work with me tomorrow for strength.

One more day. This time tomorrow, I will be done with this dinner with my new favorite backstabber. Yep gonna need the stones and Gin. Goddess be with me!

Here is my send off enjoy:
