Sitting in my car passing through delaware.
Sitting at waffle house getting my last meal feeling blue.
Driving away from my store for who knows how long.
One last time
This time it does feel for real. I looked around my store one last time. I saw my friends at work one last time. I saw some regulars one last time. It is different this time because I cannot make excuses at my other job anymore. I have to keep going now, and I can’t look back. It’s like an end to yet another chapter of my life. But my book isn’t over.. there are many more...
I shot several guns today. It was so ace!
Merry Christmas
For Hispanics, Christmas is more of a two day holiday. We begin celebrating Christmas Eve night and continue until the next day. Granted we do sleep sometime in between…usually after we’ve eaten dinner and opened up presents. I always wondered how Santa came by during our late night festivities. This year while my family ate and opened presents, I decided to go to Midnight Mass. I...
Sleet (ice/hail) is falling!! My sister was crying last night because she expected it to snow on Christmas. Thank you God for this blessing!
Getting ready to eat mexican food. Then It’s more driving to do. I’m so excited.
Driving again after a poop break
Sitting in the back office feeling hot. Another long night.
WatchPretty proud of this one! — jendunlap I love when he breaks the plate.
“i’ll save u some steak from the deer i shot this morning when i was...”
– ~Bryan I love my friends. And I get to eat deer again very soon!
This is a fun game...
So I packed last night. Completely drunk. At 1am. For a week at home. And a wedding. And a party. And my family functions. I am scared to look in my bag. I worry it will be nothing but socks, white tees, and boxers with one pair of jeans. Most likely it is. Yup. It is. You’ll only see me in one outfit next week. — peterwknox Haha! I think a picture of the contents inside the bag would...

The Best Poem Ever
“The Best Poem Ever” by Maya Angelou A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….Enough money within her control to move out and rent a place of her own even if she never wants to or needs to… A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE ….Something perfect to wear if the employer or date of her dreams wants to see her in an hour… A WOMAN SHOULD HAVE …A youth she’s content to leave...
what???
Me: I'm gonna do some Christmas shopping.
Female coworker: How many kids you got?
Me: None.
FC: How old are you?
Me: 23, how old did you think I was?
FC: No more than 25.
Me: How many kids did you think I had?
FC: I don't know a couple. Like two.
Me: I'm going to shop for friends and family.
It's not the same
Mom: I've decided that I'm going to start walking around in my bra since all the men in this house think it's ok not to wear a shirt.
Phillip: You can't do that.
Mom: Why not? Women's rights!
Phillip: It's not the same...
Mom: (starts to take off her shirt) It's not like I'm going to be naked. Watch me!
Phillip: No!
Haha! Some mom's are way too funny. Good way to scare the kids too.
I try.. and yet fail.
Me: I have found that texting helps me feel less left out... it's like I'm hanging out with them!!
Bryan: txting still isnt u hanging out w/ us
Bryan: sorry
If I only had a Christmas list... →
I would definitely add this. :-)
Rants, tears and hopes
I met my new coworkers tonight. Our store opens on Thursday but we have a Friends and Family (free drinks) on Wednesday. I work on Wednesday, but just to set up. I am not sure what I expected out of meeting my coworkers. Maybe I wanted them to be like my favorite people in South Carolina. Maybe I expected an instant bond. Most of the partners are women.. I don’t work well with women though....
Gringo Ass Robbed
I was just fully robbed at the grocery store by a little Bolivian grammaw. They are notorious for shady math when they add up your veggie tab on their dirty little gypsy fingers, but this one must have thought I was missing a chromosome. She told me cinco cinquenta (5.50), I gave her a 10 peso bill, and she looks me in the eye, smiles, and hands me back 30 centavos. And I’m too illiterate to...
Watchsort-of love this. especially the high pitched sound of female chatter — jendunlap But can men really ever experience how badly that week can go for women?
The Dark Knight →
Did I miss out by not watching the first Batman movie with Christian Bale? This one has Maggie Gyllenhaal too. :-)
Never assume
There’s literally two or three restaurant/kitchen supply stores on every block in Chinatown, so I figured it wouldn’t be hard to find a toaster. Not so; out of six places I went, only one had a guy who’d even heard of a toaster (or knew the word, anyway). — jstn This reminds me of a spring break trip I took to California with my best friend a few years ago. I was a Wachovia...
I am subscribed to 36 people on Tumblr.. so it takes me a very very long time to look through all the posts. Is it possible to have a life away from a computer I wonder..
Poker talk
Him: kathy did you have a good hand?
Me: I would have had a full house-ish.
Spectator: lmao
Spectator: ish?
Me: I'm not sure if it's called that.
“Seeee!! South Carolinians are no good!!! They walk around with guns and knives...”
– Lowlisa, my BFF in response to the pictures below.
I’m finally in Jersey again.. so glad to be back. As for today I will fix up my room here and upload pictures on flickr. :-)
My growth.. kinda
Everytime I think I have lost all hope in finding a husband, it seems that God brings a great guy into my life to let me know that I have to keep waiting. I am trying to be patient but I really am ready to love and be loved. I want to find that great guy who is meant for me, but meeting great guys who I model my perfect man after does not make me feel any closer. I recently fell in like with a...
Sittin in my room thinking. I need some internet.
Driving by my school. I’m in jersey!
I have to wait two to four hours to get internet again. Blah.
Stuck in slow traffic.
Thinking maybe my new boss lady hates me already.
So far, I’ve gotten these reactions for my new haircut: “Clean-cut,” “Hot,” “Sexy,” “Ewww,” “You’re not the same person,” “I don’t think I can talk to you anymore,” “It looks so good!” and “What the hell happened?” I don’t know what to believe. — phillip I’m scared to...
tip of an iceberg
Something rather strange is that I still don’t feel like I’ve left South Carolina. This may be due to my not having arrived in New Jersey yet. I’m currently staying with my best friend Jenée in Virginia until tomorrow. It’s cloudy out there.. and windy. I had free food today… Moe’s.. Mmm. So I have had a rather adventurous week. I waited until the absolute last...
