Instances

I appreciate conversation. Especially meaningful conversations about nothing, I love that, getting sucked in to them.. its never an issue that will create too much steam leaving something hurt or offended...it usually just ends up with a solution not really resolved and everybody just going on with their lives.

Yesterday The new guy at my job asked me if I had seen the movie "Waiting..." I hadn't at the time but wanted to see it. He says "You'd have to be openminded to think it was funny" lol, silly man. He has no idea. I LOVE COMEDY AND COMEDIANS. And one of my favorite comedians are in that movie, Dane Cook.

I hate losing my remote. I think if you really don't like someone and you want to piss them off...for example it's a bad break up and it's the last time your ever going to be at they're place just...hide they're remote or take it with you..I mean that will really piss them off. I know would be. I spent 20 bucks buying a remote for my TV that's probably just hidden somewhere but I've searched high and low and that thing is gone.

I called my sister to tell her that my cousin on hi5.com wanted her e-mail address. She hates hi5.com and facebook and all that. It just surprises me HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE ON HI5.COM. I mean damn, it's like a bootleg,Myspace...and let's not get into MYSPACE. I just found out ...(I'm probably late) Aaron McGruder (man who created Boondocks) is on there.

This little girl sang to me and my co worker today. She was there with her mom and My coworker asked if she could talk, and she nodded yes, and then she asked if she could sing, and her mom answered for her and said yes, but of course she was a shy little thing and didn't want to. Then maybe 5 minutes later, he mom brought her over and she sang for us. I put on the cheesiest expression on my face...to encourage her you know, cause who knows how hard it is to sing to complete strangers...people were just like...."why is that little girl singing" but who cares. She was cuter than ever. It was the song about...Someone putting a turtle in a bathtub so see if he could swim."He ate a up all the water, he ate up all the soap...... Bubble, Bubble, Bubble".....I think I learned some version of that when I was a kid. I think just about everybody did.

The moon is full, I think people lose they're mind on the inkling that there's going to be a full moon. And then they go buy shoes.

My co worker is racist. And probably a bigot. But he loves working with me and I with him. Matter of fact, My female co worker started cleaning our chairs (that also double as containers) that hadn't been cleaned since the store opened and he joined her. And when they're finally done he says "well it used to be your color" referring to me, "and now it's my color, the color of perfection." I stomped on on the newly clean chairs as he was doing his finishing touches. I never get mad at what he says because...1) if I get mad that means I think it's true, and 2) he's just saying what millions of people don't have the balls to say so 3) I don't care I love myself.

Diamonds are forever....people in Africa spend they're lives mining millions of dollars worth of diamonds. And they don't recieve a dime. I used to want a diamond ring when I got married but..now I don't even know anymore. I'd want to know where it came from, who got screwed over to get it, did people die? Were children involved? Are they free? Was someone's freedom sacrificed to get this? Were they a hint of happy when they found this? I could tap dance a little bit, sell my soul for a little bit of cash, and then wear them in my mouth...yeah that makes sense. I think the ones who find them should wear them...with pride, and feel do damn beautiful.

I think God is trying to tell me something. If he isn't then I must look like I need some type of divine intervention. I helped a woman who asked me to get the same shoe like 8 times, but that's alright because I'm used to that...she saw how patient I was, and was amazed. She was from New York and the survived the hippy era and her brother was a recovering addict...how I I get into these conversation with random customers, I'm not ever sure. While she was getting her money, a little piece of paper caught my eye starting with the words "Dear Heavenly Father..." I thought immediately, yeah this woman's a christian, and I think about how I haven't read the Bible in a while. She then hands me the piece of paper which said this
"Dear Heavenly Father

I come to you in Jesus's name. I am calling you to be saved. I believe Jesus Christ. Your Son, is the Savior of the world. Please forgive me for all my sins. Thank you for Christ who died on the corss for me and rose again I recieve Jesus into my hear today. I am born of the Holy Spirit, born-again. I am a new person with a new heart. Jesus Chris is my Savior and Lord. I have the gift of eternal life because of my faith in Christ alone. Help me find your plan and purpose for my life.

In Jesus name, Amen"

And as she walks away she tell me about how in the end none of this matters because if I accept him hear on earth eternal riches exist for me in heaven...something like that. I believe her. And as she says that A customer walks up to me and says "Amen." Then as conversation goes on she asks if I go to church, and in my head I'm like....wow, okay either this is a sign or....once again, I just look like someone who needs Jesus is in my life. I tell her I just like reading the bible at home and receiving "the word" directly from the book. She then tell me how I should go to the church she goes to and how I would love it. I hope so. Maybe I'll go, Maybe not. I'll see.

where do i begin...
the diamonds, because that is where I am most heavily affected... you're right... but I know there are good companies out there that provide diamonds that have not come from the enslavened hand... I must have faith because I really want the symbol on my finger to be one with everlasting luster and beauty... maybe i'll do platinum instead....

your co-worker's an idiot...doesn't he know that perfection is a really cool game and can only be found in Walmart... you better educate

Divine intervention is nothing to play with... but as I've always said, I think of God as a parent and he is just tryin to give you advice, but what works best for you to stay true is up to you... i didn't mean to rhyme...sorry

You need a hobby... this blog was endless...lol read a book or something...
