Happy New Year

I feel so old. I didn't go out for New Years because I didn't want to. I was invited to parties but we had plans here at the house. My night started promising enough: great dinner, booze, fireworks, booze, hanging with the neighbors, fun. Next thing I know my BF is taking a "nap" (he has to work in the morning but seriously, we aren't that old) and now I am drinking by myself watching poor, sad Dick Clark phone in the New Years show he won't give up and wondering why everyone likes the Jonas Bros so much. They seem pretty sucky to me. I am pretty sure Ryan Seacrest is a robot. Oh well. If the BF doesn't wake up that means the whole bottle of bubble is mine! I'll play myself some Auld Lang Syne on the piano and drink in the new year! Happy 2009 whoever reads this!

Airport Encounter

Last night I was sitting in Terminal 5 of JFK International Airport waiting for my delayed flight to show up. Since it was going to be a while I was reading. Out of nowhere and older Middle-Eastern man came up to us and asked if we could tell him which was was East. He had just come back from Saudi Arabia and his new prayer mat (with a compass in it) was in his checked baggage and he needed to bed able to face Mecca to pray. My BF and I pulled out our iPhones and tried to figure it out. The man said as long as it was close enough he's be fine. We finally figured it out and he went off behind a column to pray. (I am still wondering if that was for privacy or if he thought someone was going to call Homeland Security on him.) We went back to reading after that and I couldn't help but be curious as to why he asked us and not someone else. The I remembered what book I'm reading: Reading Lolita in Tehran by Azar Nafisi. I don't know for sure, but I think it was because I was reading a book by a Muslim woman that he thought we'd be the most helpful. (That or maybe I just look way more approachable than I feel like I look.) Either way I found it very interesting.

It can't be true!

Tonight I found out that not only is my favorite manager going to be the back at my old store but the general manager that ran the place into the ground is leaving. I hope its true! I will SO go back if that really happens! It will be awesome! The current kitchen manger is great and as long as they give the GM position to my old manager that place will be in the running for #1 once again!

Life Lesson

For a long time I dwelled on the future. I constantly thought things like "I just have to deal with the bad stuff now and then it will get better", "this will be better for my future", and shit like that. There was a short time that I dwelled on the past, thinking about what I should have done and kicking myself for past mistakes. Everyone knows it does no good to dwell on the past since you can't change it. I am starting to realize that doing everything for the future isn't much better. Life is short and you never know what's going to happen, so live for today. Fuck the past, its over. Fuck the future, it might never come. Don't slave away at a job you hate for a promotion you may never get, material goods that will ever be enough, or a retirement fund you might not live to use. Worry about being happy NOW. I am about as poor as I've ever been but I'm a lot happier than I've ever been. I'm not saying don't save or don't work hard, I'm just saying don't make yourself miserable over it.

If Only I Could Have a Kitty. Oh the Fun I Would Have!

Cats are SOOOO much more fun to fuck with than dogs!

I wish!

This time I was in a Home Depot/Wal-Mart kind of store buying soil. I grabbed my dirt and then ended up in the pet section of this massive store. There was a little walled-in area with free range puppies. I picked up the cutest, fluffiest one and not only was it the cutest thing ever, it could talk! Not like hold-a-conversation talk, more like Pokémon talk. It didn't really use words but you could tell what it meant. Whatever reason I need the soil was so pressing that I had to put the puppy down and leave. Then some old bitchy lady took it and I was sad that the perosn who got it wouldn't really appreciate it. (Now that I think about it, maybe that's what she needed to stop being bitchy...I dunno. At the time I was sad to see it go.) The rest involves the Jonas Bros dressed like ninjas helping me chase down the van I left my dirt in. No where near as interesting as the Pokémon puppy!
