Lent 2009

Its that time of the year again! And this year, many years of backsliding, i will be taking this as seriously as i possibly can. i will be fasting, praying, giving up that meat (at least this time, there no suya joint right next to my house.......). Why this mad dash back to the Lord? Come on people are you blind?!! The world is at an end! There is a black man in the White House. did you hear me? the WHITE house! Die-hard players are getting married! NOTHING IS THE SAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMEEEE!!

amazing as it sounds, i actually miss church. i finally live in an area where there are churches that are reminiscent of the kind of worship i'm used to. with music, smiling people, and busybody men of God telling you exactly what you are doing wrong and how you need to change. and there is no one looking at their watch and sighing because "the choir is singing a song that wasnt on the darn program gosh darn it!". hmmm come to think of it, i might even join the choir. utter bliss

Beckham and the LA league

Does anyone else think it is freaking hilarious that Beckham doesn't want to go back to California? Apparently he is on loan to Milan for the UEFA (?? is it??). I wasn't really surprised. Have you seen Americans play football? These guys suck! I'm still convinced that the only reason they make it into the World Cup is because they bribe the Mexican players (the only other country in their region) and promise them citizenship if they let them win.

So anyway, poor Beckham has realised what I could have told him before he signed the contract. I mean good Lord, these people call a game they invented less than 50 years football (which has nothing to do with a foot nor require any sort of skill for that matter) then give our precious 100+ year sport SOCCER. Mein Gott!! What the hell does that even mean?

this was utterly random and is a sign of the path boredom tends to lead you down.....sad innit?

Desperately Seeking a New Job

So my current job is poised to end. There are several reasons for this, some of them my fault. The most important thing is, I HAVE BILLS TO PAY. I need to find another source of gainful employment as soon as humanly or even divinely possible.

Sadly, my talents are severly limited (one can even say non-existent). I can speak several languages, but none as fluently as would get me paid. I have rudimentary computer experience, but not enough to be considered proficient. I have extensive teaching experience.....but if I was that good at it, I would be currently be losing my job would I? I have limited research experience, too limited to be even considered for a research position. I have two science based degrees and I would love to get two more............but my funding source has dried up.

Ideally, I would love to win a million dollars and just invest and do nothng for the rest of my life. I cant sing, I'm not even remotely cute, and I suck ass at sports. So forget any opportunities there of making any money. What to do? How to do it? I need to quit whining, buckle down,......and do what exactly? There are many things I must be good at. But of what good are they to people who mete out salaries? You know I can understand why people think things through and their logical conclusion is that their life should be unceremoniously discontinued. It would solve a lot of problems I think. I'm not married, no kids. Just have this one nagging debt.

Sigh.

This Thing Called Love

What is it sef? What makes your heart do flip flops over one guy and you can't even shock a beat out of it for another? why will you KNOW this person is so very wrong for you but still stick with them and hope and pray that they love you back? yet you meet a person: sweet, understanding, loving, utterly devoted to you, eyes only for you......and you are bored to freakn death!! you feel trapped and you are looking desperately for a way out.

then theres the breakup. they hurt YOU. dumped YOU. cheated on YOU ....and yet you're the one feeling like a piece of shit. and whats the deal with karma huh? seems the people who hurt you still havent gotten their come uppance. and you're there waiting. hoping that bloody FINALLY they'll realise they messed up. not that you want them back (although sometimes you really do) but couldn't they feel some remorse about how they treated you?

sigh. the whole thing is just annoying. like i should curl up in my shell and never come out. but noooo. you have to "move on". and not "lose hope". and "keep believing" that "the one for you is out there". o and that forget the "not letting one spoiling all the others out for you". bitch please!.........and yet you hope. more fishes in the sea they say. you dream. "when one door closes another opens". you pray."theres someone out there for everyonr". and patiently trod on. fixing little things along the way. working to make yourself perfect for that one. forgetting (quite conveniently) the last heartbreak. that gut wrenching cry you had that last time around.

this thing called love grrrr

Rumpole :(

Sir John Mortimer, the creator of the great RUMPOLE is dead. He is survived by millions of adoring fans the world over and thousands of lawyers who owe their even considering law to his AWESOME books.....oh yeah and he has a daughter and some other relatives too...

adieu Sir Mortimer, still loving your books after SO many years :)

A little more on my new year res

so i'm a bit of a geek yeh, and this year i'm trying a lil something called "losing weight". its a brand new very revolutionary tactic aimed at making you look good and being o whats the funny word? its at the tip of my tongue..........o yeah "healthy".

in my quest for more knowledge (as if all the one i already possess has benefited me in any way right?), i stumbled upon this BBC article. the entire concept just appeals to me all around (yeah i'm feverishly writing notes again SIGH)

2009

so again my new year's celebration was....non existent. spent new year's eve driving the twelve hours back to my home base so i could enter the new year surrounded by the new life i have just started to build for myself.......

12 midnight found me attending mass in front of my television (too exhausted to drive to mass and then drive myself back). watched a lil more tv (God dont these people KNOW its a new year??) then went to bed. woke up new year morning.........and went to work. yep! spent new year's day at work. woo hoo

so anyway i put into God's hands my plans for the New Year:

1. LOSE WEIGHT : eat better, exercise more
2. BANK PAY: save more, reduce my debt
3. do something about my dreams instead of wallowing in misery wishing i were somewhere else

hmmmm lets see........... o thats it i guess. my hope for this year arent that much. i'm not too excited about this year and i dont see anything overly fantastic happening (sigh there i go again.....is that thunder i hear?).

so what are YOUR new year resolutions? are they as sucky as mine? or are you way more ambitious? and o yeah before i forget:

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

Christmas Aftermath

still seething from NOT receiving the xmas eve call from freak...........(HINT! HINT!)

christmas day was interesting. NOTHING HAPPENED!! got into a huge dramatic fight on xmas eve. was very unhappy, drove for 12 hours straight then slept well into christmas morning. called friends, had a laugh, was called by family, chatted with people, found a very very old friend.

so now its almost new year's eve. 2009 approaceth. unstoppable in its onslaught and i am scared shitless. Literally. (I have been taking laxatives the last couple days......).

well, here's to a rocking 2009 for all of us. may we all move on to bigger and better things! AMEN!!

..................you know one day God is going to get tired of my griping and just smite me with like boils or something............ah well

FACE OFF!

This brief post is dedicated to those of us who watched "Face Off" a thousand times.

The Cleveland Clinic has just reported the very first complete face transplant. A woman in Ohio has been given a new lease on life. She apparently did not like the face she had been born with and after years of "suffering" was able to get a team of surgeons to do the op. The operation is still very dangerous and there are a lot of ethics issues they are still having worked out........Anyway, thats besides the point, all that matters is: IT WORKS IT WORKS! Once again life imitates art and there we were thinking that after Star Trek that didn't happen anymore........
