Irritation Of The Day

When driving your vehicle do not switch lanes into the same lane where traffic is merging onto the freeway. I mean that's just stupid and it pretty much pisses me off. Also, get off your cell phone when switching lanes so I don't end up dying after you hit me because you weren't paying attention. Thank You!

Brand New Colony

My song pick of the week is "Brand New Colony" by the postal service. I love it! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!!

Tupac

Another funny conversation occurred today. Well, at least to me it was funny and typical.

Scene: Lily and I are talking about the "Don't Cha" song that the is playing everywhere these days.

Lily: I couldn't believe it was some asian from the Pussycat Dolls. I thought it would be a black chick with a voice like that.

Blair: Yeah, Busta Rhymes raps with them too but a lot of times they don't play that version.

Chris walks up: Busta?

Blair: Yes Chris that is how you pronounce his name. It is not Buster it is Busta.

Chris: I know but I am so white that I think I sound like a fool when I talk like that so I make every effort not to. Plus, I hate it when white people act like they are white.

Lily: Oh, Blair's not white!

Blair: Yeah, I mean I have a little thug in me. Maybe it's the thug in me like Tupac. I am basically Tupac.

Lily: You are Blair resurrected.

Blair and Lily: HAHAHAHA

Chris: Wouldn't that mean you would have had to die?

Blair: Fuck off Chris!

Notice Of Filming

They were shooting a movie, tv show, or commercial in my work parking lot today. There were people everywhere and trailers everywhere. I couldn't help but get excited even though I knew it was probably something we will never even see. At one point one of the guys screamed, "That's Marisa Tomei!" I replied with, "What would Marisa Tomei be doing in the parking lot of Sportmart in Canoga Park?"

Forever Young

So, I have been here now for nine months. I find myself taking a step back and reflecting on the last nine months of my life. I mean, I guess all I ever do is think about life but lately it has been more obvious. When I first moved here I remember being overwhelmed with emotions. I missed my friends and family beyond belief. And then I went through a phase where I missed them but it was all okay. There was too much other stuff going on in my life to really sit and dwell on not having them(all of you) here with me. And now I am here today and I am thinking how having friends here would be very nice. See, I am now comfortable with the situation I am in pretty much. I am comfortable with work and the people there and even hang out with them occassionally. I have become a California driver. I am not afraid to get lost in this huge city and find myself going out and wandering around. I hear street names and I know what street that is. I may not know exactly where it is but I have heard of it before. I know where cities are and which direction they are in from where I live. These are just little things that I have become comfortable with and feel good about. Now, I think it is time to find some good friends or to have some more friends around me. I have become much closer with the people I work with and that has helped and my roommate and I might join some type of class just to meet people. In Colorado, I had something going on pretty much every night. I hated work and it didn't matter how I felt when I went in. I went out so much that it made me exhausted but I couldn't say no. Sometimes all I wanted to do was sit at home and not do anything. But then I came here and not knowing anyone obviously changed things. But also my job became more important. I have a shit load of more responsibility and I get up so fricking early. I feel like I have become somewhat of a grown up finally....hahahaha!! And I think about being back in Colorado and how it would be. And the thing is it wouldn't be the way I had left it whatsoever. Right at the time I left everything started changing with everyone around me. People were moving out of the state and some people were getting married or are getting married. Some even have children now. People were leaving Garts one by one and things just were changing. It was like the perfect time to go. And things are still changing with everyone that I know and even with me. I think maybe I just need a bit of a vacation and to see my family or my friends. Thank God I get to see my mom soon. It seems that every week I discover something new about myself and where I live. I guess that is a good thing. Oh geez, such is life!

House of a 1000 Corpses

I watched the movie "House of a 1000 Corpses" last night because I am such a sucker for horror films. Even if they are bad and not scary I still love them. My collection is growing. One of the characters was wearing a shirt and it said something that made me laugh.

"If I wanted to hear an asshole talk I'd fart."

HAHHAHAHA....

You Should Follw Me Down

Have you ever heard a song that it made you go fricking nuts? I find myself a lot of times going back to my "younger" days and locking myself in my room and just dancing my ass off. I am the epitamy of the song "Into The Groove" by Madonna. But I never really find myself wanting to dance with someone else like the song says....hahahaha. Anyway, I was just rocking out to a song by the Doves and ended up tripping and hitting my head on my wall....hahahah. I think that everybody should go in their room and pick a song and turn it up real loud and let yourself go. HAVE FUN!!! (Another random post from me)

Arachnophobia

So, I am talking to this lady at the register today about shoes or something and as I am talking I noticed a spider walking across the counter. Well, I continue to talk to her but at the same time smash the spider with my bare hands. We talk for another five minutes and all of the sudden at the end of the conversation she goes, "Hey, did you kill a spider like five minutes ago?" I said, "Yeah, it was annoying me!" She then told me that was cool and walked off...hahahaha! FUNNY PEOPLE!!

I See Right Through To You

You know how when you walk into a place and immediately everyone looks up from whatever they are doing at you. And when they realize A. They don't know you. OR B. You are not a celebrity. OR C. They don't think you are hot and worth looking at, they then go back to whatever they were doing. Well, everytime I go into this store behind my house there is this chick there that always blatantly stares at me. I mean she doesn't cover it up whatsoever. And it is not like I am looking weird or anything. I am not dancing and I am not wearing my shirt that says, "Party in my Pants" or " C is for Crunk." It always makes me uncomfortable but then I seriously want to bust up laughing because I know one day somebody is going to walk in and she is going to stare at he/she and they are not going to be as nice as me and rip her a new one....HAHAHA!!

A Thought Or Two....

You know, sometimes I get really sad because I don't have anybody to love or I don' t have anyone who loves me. But then I hear all the love songs that consist of nothing but heartache and I think to myself, "Thank God I am not the person singing that song right now. And thank God I am not the subject of that song."

Happy Father's Day

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO MY DAD!!! HOPE IT WAS AWESOME! I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN THERE!!

Anyway, I happened to be listening to this song today(yes, I sometimes listen to muppet songs...HAHAHA) and it made me want to post it on my blog. I think this song describes both California and Colorado for me to some degree. I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! I know I did!....Hehehe!!

I'm Going to Go Back There Someday,
By Gonzo (yes the Muppet)

This looks familiar, vaguely familiar,
Almost unreal, yet, it's too soon to feel yet.
Close to my soul, yet so far away.
I'm going to go back there someday.

Sun rises, night falls, sometimes the sky calls.
Is that a song there, and do I belong there?
I've never been there, but I know the way.
I'm going to go back there someday.

Come and go with me, it's more fun to share,
We'll both be completely at home in midair.
We're flyin', not walkin', on featherless wings.
We can hold onto love like invisible strings.

There's not a word yet for old friends who've just met.
Part heaven, part space, or have I found my place?
You can just visit, but I plan to stay.
I'm going to go back there someday.
I'm going to go back there someday.

TomKat

It's official! Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are engaged! I know that you are all as excited as I am and were just dying for him to pop the big question. But I can't help getting wrapped up in this crap. Celebrity gossip is what I crave. It makes life fun and this town is crazy when it comes to all of it.....Did I tell you how much I love the song "What a feeling" from the movie "Flashdance.?"

Earthquake # 2

There was another earthquake today and of course I didn't realize it was an earthquake at the time because I am simply crazy. I was in our warehouse doing something and I noticed our Dock Door was banging really hard back and forth and couldn't understand why because even the wind doesn't make it do that. I walk back to the office and everyone is like, "Did you feel the earthquake?" I finally figured out that I had and I am just an idiot.

Earthquake

So, apparently there was an earthquake here on Sunday morning at around 8:30am. Everyone was asking me at work if I felt it and I was like, "What the hell are you talking about?" I really think I remember something waking me up but I honestly thought it was the trash truck....hahahaha!! That is funny in itself because they don't pick trash up on Sunday. Or, I could have easily slept right through it. I may have thought I was dreaming as well. What's wrong with me?HAHAHAH

On another note, some lady ripped my head off today at my work. This is really nothing unusual. Everyone thought I was yelling back at her but I just naturally have a loud voice because I can't hear...HAHAHA!!! She finally calmed down and I took care of her but it was still annoying and it draws so much attention to you. I mean, I understand where she was coming from. I guess I just didn't understand why she had to yell at me when it was not my fault. Oh Well!!!!

Sandra Bullock is getting married!! The ring we all keep seeing on Paris Hilton's finger is her mom's...THAT'S ALL I GOT!!

Into The Great Wide Open

My brothers are all in Kentucky visiting my mom and the rest of our family. My grandma turns 90 years old on Saturday. My brother keeps text messaging me funny things and I can't help but wish I were there with all of them. But not to fear my dear Blair, you shall be there come the end of July!!

Cuz This Is Thriller......

I watched the Michael Jackson verdict at work today. I was completely amazed at how a man who was on trial for child molestation would just show up a half hour late on the day of his verdict. Where's the sense of urgency? But the thing that was even more humorous to me was the lady who was letting off a white dove everytime he was found not guilty. I looked at my boss and was like, "Is that literally a dove?" She was like, "Only in California. Only in California." I then responded with, "Wouldn't it be funny if it shit on everybody?...hahahaha."

Mr. and Mrs. Smith

I saw "Mr. And Mrs. Smith" yesterday. Of course, I completely loved it! It wasn't an amazing movie by any means but it was so very entertaining. And it doesn't get much better than Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt acting together. I don't see how the rumors of them being together aren't true after seeing this movie. Their chemistry together was awesome! Did I mention how hot they were?

Fix You

FIX YOU
By Coldplay

When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste
COULD IT BE WORSE?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down your face
when you lose something you cannot replace
I see a stream down your face
And I

Tears stream down your face
I promise you I will learn from all my mistakes
Tears stream down your face
And I

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.

A Sea Of Green

I have just returned from Dahab, our favorite Hooka Bar. And now I find random thoughts running through my head. I feel jealousy right now. And I really hate jealousy, but it's so obvious in us all. I guess I am jealous that all my friends back in Colorado or wherever get to see each other whenever they want and I am out here and don't get to see them. I am jealous that they still have each other and I am out here and have nobody. And I am not saying that I don't have anybody but I don't have any of my friends physically near me. And I don' t even know if jealousy is the way to describe it. It probably just comes down to me missing everyone and wishing that certain parts of my life were easier or were the way they once were. At the same time, I don't want anything the way it once was. That can't be how my life is anymore. I just wish seeing people was easier. I am jealous that I can't see my mom and the rest of my family can. I am jealous that I can't see my dad and Ann and my brother can whenever he wants. I am out here trying to discover something and everyone else seems to be in their comfort zone. Although, my comfort zone is starting to become more apparent, I still feel lost at times. Oh well, thank God I haven't lost contact with anyone. Thank God I know who my real friends are. And when all is said and done, thank God I was able to move out here on my own.

My Style

There is absolutely no reason why everyone in the world should not have the new BlackEyed Peas album. It would be in your best interest to go out and buy it. And if you don't want to buy then I will burn it for you. Just let me know...hahahaha!!!

I Can't Believe It's Not Butter

Fabio came into my work today! I did a double take when he walked in and just started laughing. I mean, it was frickin Fabio...HAHAHAH!!

Health Permit

I have to appear at some "hearing" tomorrow for my work's health permit. It's funny because all of that mumbo jumbo goes through the corporate office but because the LA Department of Health Services fucked up I have to now bring a faxed copy of the check that the corporate office wrote them and mailed them two weeks ago. Now, I am wondering if they are going to accept this copy check and if it will all be okay. The lady at the corporate office was on the phone told me that me or another manager would have to go down to the office and present them with the appropriate evidence. I responded with, "It will be me. It's always me." It really isn't that big of a deal but I don't want to have to get angry and raise my voice, but I get irritated when things are not our fault and somehow they are made out to be. The health permit just means we can sell food. Whatever!!

Fixture This.....

Have you ever squeezed the fat on your hand between two metal objects?

Have you ever looked down at your arm and noticed you have 5 more new scratches than you had 5 minutes ago?

Have you ever hit your thumb so bad that you lost all feeling and movement to it for 5 minutes?

Have you ever been hit in the head by a falling metal shelf?

Have you ever had a giant fixture land on your face but you have to be cool about it and can't cry?

Have you ever picked up something so heavy that you wonder if you might break in half?

I have!! And it sucks!!

Best Buy Forever

The new Black Eyed Peas Album and the new Coldplay album came out today! HELL YEAH!! And of course I had to buy a DVD while I was in Best Buy because they are all so cheap. I bought the movie "Heathers." I have no idea why it is so good but I think I like it so much because of the following line:

"Heather, why do you have to be such a mega bitch?
Because I can be.!"

HAAHAHAHAHA

Well That's An Annoyance

Here's some things that annoy me these days...

1) This whole Katie Holmes/Tom Cruise issue. I am so sick of listening to Tom jump around in every interview saying how in love he is and how he just can't hide it. Give me a break. He had Nicole kidman and Penelope Cruz and he wasn't jumping around then. And they are some pretty hot ladies.

2) I hate hitting my funny bone, which is not even remotely funny. It hurts a lot and it doesn't just go away within a minute or so. The pain lingers and it just becomes a constant ache for the next hour.

3) Stupid People! I have always hated stupid people! People who just don't get it. People who just don't get life in general.

4) I don't like those people who claim they don't have any money and yet they continue to max out their credit cards on stupid shit. Meanwhile, they are living at home and not paying rent and their boyfriend just gave them $200 dollars.

5) Finally, I do not like bitchy people. I do not like people who feel the need to make others lives miserable because they are so very unhappy. We all have hard times and we all go through a lot of shit. But do not take it out on me when all I am saying is, "Would you like a bag with that?"

Observation #1

I am sorry if this offends anybody but in my recent studies of the streets and businesses of LA I have realized that young asian chicks tend to like older white men. Again, this is just an observation...hahahaha!

June Gloom

It's probably going to be overcast the entire month of June here in Southern California. I have been told they refer to it as "JUNE GLOOM." It kind of makes you not want to go outside and stay in and watch your 52 inch big screen TV.

Happy Birthday Angelina Jolie

It's Angelina Jolie's birthday and being that I am completely infatuated with her I thought I would let you all know this as well.

Now, my real reason for writing today. I've decided that my move to LA has been much like a relationship. At the beginning there is constant excitement and you want to constantly be surrounded and engulfed in this one thing. Then, you start to get use to things and different emotions start occurring. You have fits of rage where you are wondering what you got yourself into and maybe you should just end it and go back to what and where you came from. And then there are those times of utter bliss and everything is going right and you can't imagine your life being any other way but the way it is at that particular moment. And you have your issues with where this is all going. What am I looking for? Where do I see myself with this situation? And then there's a bit of constant uncertainty......So, I am a little over 8 months into my living experience in LA. I am most definitely staying here another year. Our lease is up in September and Erin and I will venture out and find another place to live. I remember how I thought back in November and even December that I was going to move back to Colorado. It seemed the easiest thing to do at the time. But Colorado is not for me right now and thankfully I realized this. I talk to a friend or even friends at least once a week and it always makes me "homesick" at times. I want to be able to go out with them after work and just be in their presence again. However, I realize that things wouldn't be the same if I was back there. I am at a different place in my life and they are at a different place in theirs. We are all doing I believe what we are suppose to be doing at this point in our lives. I sometimes stress myself out because I really don't know what I want to eventually end up doing in my life. And this is basically having to do with my career. I feel that I am 25 and I should have that all figured out, but it seems like right now I need to figure out where I am going to be most comfortable in other aspects of my life. So, for now I will continue to deal with the highs and lows of life and continue to love every minute of it.

That's because you don't have.......

I had to go to the Toyota Dealership today because my driver's side seat belt does not work. I mean it really will not save me if anything happens. Because it is an older model car they needed to order me the specific part. Anyway, I have a backpack that velcros between my boobs....hahahah(I know what you are thinking Nick) that I was wearing. The guy at the "parts" counter says to me, "Do you like that bag? I just can't wear it because it slides around everywhere." Without even thinking about who I am talking to I reply, "Yeah, well that is because you don't have breasts."....HAHAHAHA!! The guy was so caught off guard and kind of laughed and made a joke about it.....God! I am such an idiot!

Make This Last Forever

I was looking at pictures and cards from college and a little bit after last night. I don't usually look at them a lot because they tend to make me sad. At the same time they make me appreciate all the great times I have had. Things will never be like they once were and they can't be and to be honest I am not sure if I want them to be. But damn, we sure had fun. College really was the best four years of my life. And I even had some pretty wicked times in the years after. But like most things, you just grow out of certain things. Life is about responsibility now and everything is about the next step or chapter. I am fortunate to have such amazing memories and to still have some amazing friends at the end of it all.

That's Funny

I was driving down the street today and noticed a lady walking her two cats. They were big fat cats and I had to do a double take to see if they were really cats. She had stopped to talk them and I kind of wonder what she was saying to them.
I then make my way onto the 405 and notice there are four trucks in front of me that say "Mold Problem?" It made me think where were they going? And how big was this so-called mold problem?
