Long Weekend

I went to TJ on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend.  I went to see Oscar and it was the first time I had seen in him 9 months.  He had made the decision to go to work with an unsavory element (that is how I will put it).  He gave in to the temptation and so we knew we could not hangout any more.  He contacted me in the middle of the summer.  He no longer was working for them.  He came to the decision on his own that it was not a viable path for his life.  They said you came with nothing you leave with nothing so he paid he way out with what he earned and is free.  He asked me a couple times to come visit him but I needed a bit of time.  He works for a company that sets up events and has Sundays free.  When I felt the comfort level I needed I think went down.  We had Chinese food and went to the movies.  We talked a lot and he seems like he is in a much better place now.  I am glad for him.  He wants me to come back again and go out for some fun but I have been working a lot at my part time job and so have been busy.  I will see him again - just focused more on the help my part job is giving me - maybe at the end of October near his birthday.  Silliness can wait for a bit.  I am just glad he looked healthy and is happy.  That pleased me greatly.

I Must Figure Something Out

Behind my daytime job is an empty lot that my window looks out over.  It is fenced in but there is nothing there.  Recently they did some road work and while they did they filled the empty lot with a lot of equipment and heavy machinery.  During this time the fence was open.  The road work is done and the fence is locked again.  Well I noticed a couple weeks back that there is now some awesome graffiti way in the back on the wall of the building that abuts the lot in the east side.  It is crazy fish and very stylized and I am dying to get a picture of it.  I keep thinking of ways but have not gotten it yet.  I finally found a gap in the fence but I am too chicken to cross the lot because of snakes or black widow spiders I may stumble upon as I cross.  I cannot get a picture with my zoom as it is too far.  It is such a dilemma!  I want a picture so bad to add to my Esco graffiti collection.  I know there are worse problems to have but I have to find a way!

Oh I Forgot

When I went back east in August we had a party for my three niece's that have birthday's in August.  Of course my birthday is in August too so I also get in on the action!  Well my niece Jordan made me this card and I just love it.  She did it without any prompting and used her own dollar.  I know the dollar is supposed to be a gift but I think it is a bribe so she can get to San Diego.  Smart kid!

Depressed Perhaps

I dunno what is going on with me.  At either of my jobs I am busy and productive but outside of work I have no energy or motivation.  I do not know why I have not or cannot blog.  I am happy at work and even very silly at my part time job.  This Sunday I had off and I did have plenty to do but I decided to lie in bed and read magazines.  I probably would have been happy with that as it is a treasure to get time to do so but in reality I just slept.  Part of me thinks that I am depressed but I am not sure why.  I am focused on a couple money things that will be all done by the end of October and I think I just keep thinking about that.  It is positive that these things will be cleared up but I just spend a lot of energy thinking about them.  Maybe it is normal, just the everyday-ness of life.  I will keep at it and see what motivation I can get in place for outside of work.  I think posting regularly will be a step in the direction toward more motivation.

Nutcase

I have not blogged in ages and not I am going to post this - hence the title, "Nutcase".  Everything is fine but I just have been lazy.  Tsk tsk.  My part time job is going fine and the musak there cracks me up!  This is on it and it is SUCH a guilty pleasure of mine.  I LOVE this song!  It is true.  Well there is this Asian kid I work with that is a competitive break dancer - hmmm interesting.  Well we were working at one of the cashier stations together and normally I am very serious at work but this song came on and I was like do you know this song?  I love this song! I got so excited.  He was born in like 1992 so had no idea what I was talking about and then the silliness just took over.  I started singing and pantomiming to this song - jumping out from fixtures and dancing with mannequins.  He was like OMG you are nuts!  I told him if he tells a soul I would shank him with a coat hanger.  He then told me that I was probably on the security tape and I told it was would be fine since if it went viral then I would tell everyone he slipped me a mickey.  He could not stop laughing, especially since I do know every word.  He would be waiting on a customer and I would be be behind the customer and lipsyching away.  If the customer did turn around would be completely serious and they would be utterly puzzled.  Sometimes the silliness just overpowers me and the crazy comes out.  He will never be the same.
