biking, is kicking my ass.

its uber rad and fun and all, but still kicking my ass. i didnt realize how long its been since i've actually been on a bike since last saturday. up and down hills, biking standing up, switching gears. i take it back - the hills in my neighborhood are kicking my ass. the biking part is fun, once i figured out how to adjust things.

i went to one of those bike shops with the people who are paid to tell you how short you are and point you in the "small" bike collection direction. haha. they're actually paid to tell you what bike will fit you best, as far as usage needs, stature and selection choice go, and just my luck, i get the new guy. the new guy that when i walked in was standing behind the counter screaming, "you want a refund? i need a manager for that!, you want to be rung up without a price upc, i need a manager for that!, i can't breathe, i need a manager for that!" haha. and he kept announcing to everyone in the bike shop how short i was. (and that i didnt wanna pay an arm and a leg for a bike, not that i said "arm and a leg" but you get my point).

i tell you, everything i do has to be an experience. it was good though, because i did need guidance, i was going to go to target (see: no arm or leg required for purchase) until my manager's son told me that i should go to a real bike shop.

im exhausted. people have been trying my patience. good nite to all, and to all a good nite.

day four of my photoblogging excusrion. its a bit discouraging, seeing what i already knew about the operation of photo blogs. theres a couple of guys on there that post the inevitable nudie pics and call them "artistic nudes" and like the dupes that they are, people flock to them like bees to honey. where's the encouragement for good composition or technically superb photos, beautiful subjects and beautiful execution? ill tell you where: in the crapper. hah. i mean not to say i haven't set the same trap for the same bees - in the days of deviantart all i did was post the sexually suggestive photo. i craved the attention i got from it. people really respond to the human body. but unless the subject is really connecting with their natural form in the photo its all soft core porn. and to call it anything else would be rediculous.

ok, let me stop hatin'.

which is never cheap. cos i get a million and one things. this time i talked myself into just three:

what can i say, i have an obsession with big glasses. i don't care how dumb people think they look. they look damn good on me!

pretty basic, but just some pitches i've been working on for work:

but now i need a new computer. or atleast a new keyboard, this one keeps sticking.

time to upload and distribute pictures all over the world wide web haha.

firstly, my new cameraman :

enjoy... its got SO many meanings to me...

where are my headphones? i could be listening to musak right now on vspot. but instead im listening to my mother and her boyfriend NOT talk.

today was stressful. i had to run the entire processing station by myself and wait on customers and make sure i stayed sane and not bark at everyone of my coworkers because NONE of them wanna do work. even the ones that say they do work only do shit when they wanna do it. i miss the girl that worked there when i started. she had the same kind of work ethic and principals that i do. sometimes you cant pick and choose the projects that you have to do to pass the 8 hours during the day.

thanksgiving is coming. and i still havent called hosting families to schedule my dinner hopping. thats one thing im thankful for. a big enough family that has more than one dinner.

im so tired and dull im putting myself to sleep.

nite.

i am smitten with google: google desktop, google personalized home page, gmail, anything and everything to do with google, i love. its like aol''s long lost, educated, unrestrictive nephew: beneficial AND he knows his place.

perhaps ive just been away from the internet for too long.

and as if you had to ask, ill tell you what i hate this week...

targus/dell's ac power cord tips. listed as the most "popular" sale on targus.com, the #9 tip (aka the one that I have) seems to be popular not because people love it, but because its a piece of crap. it starts with the shifting, then the bending, then before you know it the tip is in two pieces on the floor. at first i thought it was me, but seeing that alot of other people have had to buy it too makes me think otherwise. is it so hard to make a tip that doesn't break? is the profit from people having to replace their tips every year so astronomical that they refuse to make one that will last as long as the computer can still turn on? or are slews of people constantly misshandling their notebooks? in any case, ive gotta buy a new one and im a little upset about it.

im back! with high speed internet! haha. you should see the smile on my face. i like my job, i like my (1st) apt.

now i just want a man.

or some friends.

or someone who has remotely similar interests and likes to go bar hopping.

and will put up with me.

but besides that im back. with internet. AND cable. look at me. hah.

see inside : my new life in md. my adams morgan experience. and my anger towards coupling.

im at my aunts house on the slowest computer ever, so ill make this short and sweet. no i take that back. its not the computer thats slow its just the (zZzZz) dial up internet they still have and the fact that they never come on here...

my job's good. i love helping people with their floral needs. haha. where i live is shitty but im moving out soon (crosses fingers) to a 2 bed rm apt with all utilities included. now, THAT'S what's up. my phone got cut off. but thats ok cos im wanna get a sidekick from t mobile anyway and nextel just ain't cuttin it. theres been alot of drama concerning me and my ex boyfriend and we havent even spoken. people always try to bring him up around me, oh are you going to go see such and such, like i would actually fathom the thought. this man, no, this BOY put me through so much hell why would i even want to be in the same vicinity as him. when i saw him in july it was like i had to get my closure. and he was a dick the entire time i was over there which reinforced the fact that im glad im not still up underneath him anymore (literally and figuratively, damn, im such a naughty girl). besides that my life is pretty dullsville. i dont have any money to go out so i tend to stay in. plus work is kicking my ass.

last weekend i went to adams morgan with my friend jay and her boyfriend and my (ex?) friend c-dawg and her boyfriend. we smoked and went bar hopping and tried different beers from different countries. my fav was DRAGON stout that came from Jamaica... i kept the bottle but then forgot to get it back from c-dawg. and even though it was really fun and nice to see all of them again, i definitely felt left out. just because ive chosen not to... date? co habitate? fuck? the opposite sex... haha. its not that i didnt have fun, i did, i just wish it could be like it was... you know when you're younger and even if so and so is going out its really not that big of a deal? now i feel as if im less of a person when im around the "couples" because ive chosen not to participate. even though the whole point of me staying single right now is for me to learn how to be happy without having someone else to justify me. im babbling but i cant seem to describe it well. either that or i need to get some friends that are unattached. haha. i guess, they're having those first "real" relationships (where you dont have to ask permission to see the person if you really wanna see them) and ive already been there and done that. and now instead of focusing on someone else, id rather focus on myself. well, now that i think about it, it seems like EVERYONE I KNOW is in a fucking relationship and im not. and im like, where are the people who are ok with just being by themselves? why is everyone in such a damn rush to go out and get a boyfriend/girlfriend, or get hitched or settle down and have kids? its not like theres a cut off point. its not like, oh my you better get married before you turn 18 or you're gonna be damaged unwanted goods. this isnt the 14th century. and dammit, this isnt short or sweet. i mean, im no prude, id like to get my rocks off like the next bloke, but damn do we always need to be attached at the hip to someone just to feel like we're... normal? tv lied to me when it said there were other young people out there just like me just wanting to have a good time.

ANYWHO. im fine. and breathing. and alive. and i hope everyone else is too... i should be dropping a post again next week, seeing as my aunt and uncle are going out of town and me and moms are cat/house sitting.
