lol I'm sorry everyone for the lack of posts... but I told you guys I was having fun!

Friday:
It all started on the Friday night when I was home doing nothing and my nephew came over.

Saturday:
-Went to the parade... had to wait forever till my girls finally came. BUT it turns out that I'm very friendly when intoxicated, so I made some new friends.
-The Parade was FKKN LIVE AS HELL!!
-Went to Randals hotel, drank and chilled with his friends
-Went to Ehabs hotel drank again and chilled there.
(LOL I don't know why but Ehab was asking me to look at his dick and tell him whether it was big or small, and I literally met this guy 5 minutes ago!)
-Left Ehambs at around 8.30am and cabbed it back to Scarborough because BreeBree need to be at work for 9am

Sunday:
-I made it home still drunk... I couldn't walk in a straight line and the first thing I did was give the nephew a drunken bath
-Slept, then met Nathaniel downtown
-Went back to Scarborough and chilled with Hafeez, we had nuggets
-Went home at around 1.30, I was 2 stops from my house on the last bus when I get a call from BreeBree "Amanda you wanna go to a late night hotel party"
I'm tired as hell... but yeh I went
-Ended up at Randals Hotel again
We watched movies, drank, and swam on the rooftop mini pool thing they have going on
-Slept Over

Monday:
-Check out of the Hotel and headed to Scarborough
Someone tried to kill themselves that morning on the tracks so we had to walk to the furthest subway
-Ended up at Brents house swimming again
-Breeann came over
We hopped the fence of the pool and had another late night swim at 11pm
-Slept over

Tuesday:

More swimming... but the water was cold as hell

I saw this on the bus ride to work... and therefore I was late

Off My CHEAST!... thats right I spelt Chest wrong!

OK... as I mentioned before My boss just recently started paying me minimum wage, And Ive been working here since middle of May.

Ive just been taking his shit because I needed a job and this was the only one that I somewhat wanted to do. But since 2 weeks ago when I asked for minimum wage hes been a super jerk to me!

For example: He doesn't teach me to do anything. Like literally nothing. I was just hired and told to work and I figured out everything for myself. And he is trying to turn the store to something more retail appealing, so me taking initiative cleaned the store and constantly clean beccause the dumb guy just picks it up and leaves it on whatever the closest surface. Leaving the place a mess. I understand he wants a retail store so I clean it

He tells me basically that I am useless, because I cant sell computers... FIRST OF ALL, you never hired me to sell computers and second how am I supposed to sell ANYTHING when you don't give me any information about anything.

And all the work I do. no recognition at all!!

Yesterday I cleaned the basement of all the boxes, now its clean and you can actually walk past it to go to the washroom. It really was becoming a safety hazard. NOTHING!

Every time we get something into the store. I'm the one that actually takes it out of the box and puts it somewhere where the people can see. NOTHING!

Again yesterday We had a shipment of like 30 laptops, and they were blocking the entrance of the store. So I asked him if he wanted me to move some of them downstairs and get them out of the way, he said no. So I didn't. Later on in the day. most of them were sold and there were 14 boxes left. (1 box for each laptop) So I took them out of the boxes and put them all in 1 box.
Remember there were 14 boxes! 14!
I broke all 14 down and put them in 2 boxes.
ooh and I'm doing all this right in front of his desk, there is no way he could not see me doing this
when I got to my LAST box, he tells me to stop. and then to pack them all back like they were and bring them downstairs

PACK THEM UP! BRING THEM DOWNSTAIRS! WTF!
no, he had those options, he knew exactly what I was doing, I asked if he wanted them downstairs
FUCK THAT!
(and I know the only reason he did that was for me to have more work. Because we never keep laptops downstairs. EVER! he did that so I would be the one who would have to go down and get them. Ass.)

BUT I did bring one of the 2 boxes downstairs to make us both happy.

Now today we had a customer who had to buy those laptops and who was the one to get it.
and I had to get a box and pack it.
WE NEVER PACK INDIVIDUAL PRODUCTS!
that's why I took them out of their individual boxes. and even big shipments we put like 5 in 1 box. Ass.

Embarrassing me in front of customers.
Plus the shit I had to deal with when I first started... telling me he wanted me and all this bull shit. I wish I was lying. Trying to hug me up n shit.

That is why when people ask how was work I respond with... Its slowly sucking the life out of me

I just needed to get that off my chest.

My Tribute

Shes drives me wild, that Billie Jean. I saw that Pretty Young Thing, and I'm a smooth criminal, but she had me speechless.

I had to scream cuz I cant let her get away. And she was like "why you wanna trip on me?"
I said can you be the lady in my life and we could be unbreakable.
She said "Beat it" and was Gonetoosoon.

So I went home and saw the man in the mirror and told him to keep the faith. Shes no Librarian girl more like a DirtyDiana, and I wont stop till the girl is mine.

The next day I was on the Carousel when I saw her Speed Demon self and it made me smile. I wanted to give it one more chance and put myself on the line. This time around she'll be my superfly Sister and not a Stranger in Moscow.

I called to her and she said "who is it?"
I was like don't you remember the time?
She laughed and said "You don't Stop till you get enough huh?"
I told her about a jam tonight and asked will you be there?
She said she'll go as just good friends and we could come together, so you are not alone.

We came to burn the disco out, but she was leaning off the wall. I had a find a way to get on the floor and put blood on the dance floor. I asked if I could rock with you and she replied with wanting privacy.

I was getting butterflies because this girl she drives me wild, Like I'm in the middle of a thiller movie. I said "girl the way you make me feel... like you're another part of me. 'Cuz when I'm with you, I cant help it, I want to make HIStory"
"Is it scary?" she asked
"Its dangerous!"
That's when she said its the falling in love and its just human nature. She said"I don't care if you're Black or White but do You wanna me startin' something?"
And I said "Baby be mine"

At the break of dawn she wanted to give in to me and she became my girlfriend.

I know that all those other people they don't care about us but like I said to her "you are my life" and if I had to choose heaven can wait.

She told me that everyone is living their own album, and her earth song has come to an end. So whatever happens from here I just know I will never say: She's out of my life

sadly, thats all we can do now

Michael Jackson - Another part of me
by chilavert
I think that this video really captures the essence that was Michael Jackson. It was the fans, fame, the crotch grabs, dace moves, the music and and lyrics, the arm reaches, the white socks and black shoes, shiney gloves, crazy costumes, jerry curles, the red leather jacket, the moon walk, posing on his toes, the tipped hat, the OWWWEE, and the love from everyone around him. It sucks that all we have now are memories, and that it would only be false hope to wish for more. RIP.

Goodbye

I dont know why I havent mentioned this earlier, but last week my Bryans grandma died. Now Ive only known her for just under 2 years but she was the shit when it came to being a grandma. Most of the time I was away for school but when I went to Bryan's house I would go to her room and talk to her. She only spoke spanish so usually i just ended up nodding and saying "Si". I must have said yes to the wrong question because she spread a rumor that I was pregnant, and dating her brother and other things to her family.

She was so sarcastic and would call her grand kids names when they were rude and even fight them when they wouldnt let her have something. Imagine an old short spanish grandma with her fists up ready to fight teenagers. She was jokes and I was really close to her.

Right now I know that shes dead, but apart of me just doesnt believe it. I feel like shes just not with me all the time. I mean literally not with me, as in, in another room. When I'm at her house I feel like shes at the hospital or just somewhere else and it just so happened that we havent run into eachother since I've come from school.

I just miss talking to her in her room and falling asleep in the other bed, and sitting with her as shes eating and hugging her tight and she hugging me back right before I was leaving, and then the blessings she would give me as I walked away.
