Depression, Sadness, Sorrow

I try to not eat candy or sweets very often, but sometimes you just cannot help it. I have been feel down or depressed lately and I don't know why. I the weather has finally cleared up and summer has arrived. With the sun being out and birds singing why am I not happy? Is it a chemical imbalance or something unexplainable? A lot of questions going unanswered I know, but today, ooooh today, for twenty minutes I was happy and worry free. While putting fuel in my Jeep for some reason not known to me I went inside and bought a King Size Reese's Cup candy. I sat at my desk and enjoyed all four chocolate and peanut butter cups. I was taken from this state of mind and sent off on a relaxing ride to never never land. Now I am back and blogging about it. 

Header

I sat in from of my computer last night looking at my blog thinking about what I could change on it to maybe make it look different. I though maybe the profile picture. Nah. OOH I know I'll change the header I thought to myself. Since it was freakishly long and didn't fit the given box. I changed it a few times and then changed it back a few more. In the end I kept my original picture this time I found out that when you click the box that says "shirk to fit." You should probably do so because it is there for cosmetic reasons.

3rd person

I am not the most proficient person when it comes to grammar rules, and those who are close to me, or frequently read my blog know this. However, I do try to be as correct as possible. If I am wrong on a rule or I am misusing a word I will try to make a mental note and not use it incorrectly again. The reason for this blog is a question: "When did it become okay to put your name ina story you are telling?" As a joke fine, but when you are actually having a conversation (serious or formal) I am going to go with NEVER. You look and sound like a fool when you do. I guess the same people who said "Yes, brown and black CAN be worn together" teamed up with the third person rule people and changed the rules over night. I am going to try an attempt to be completely repulsive and coy. (1b: if you click the link you'll know what I mean.)

*This is me telling the story to you as Joe Kavalier (narrator and person.) If you know who Joe Kavalier is then you are awesome.

I Joe Kavalier sat outside a bead of sweat started to form on Joe Kavalier's forehead. Joe Kavalier sat there thinking to Joe Kavalier's self "Wow Joe Kavalier is hot and it is hot outside." What should Joe Kavalier do he asks Joe Kavalier. I think I Joe Kavalier will go inside to stop this sweating that is taking place on my Joe Kavalier's forehead. After going inside Joe Kavalier had to sit down because Joe Kavalier is hot and tired. In Joe Kavalier's old age he doesn't get very much exercise.

This of course is an extreme example, but take warning to it. Because as foolish as it was to read this it is even more foolish to sound like this!

Quick Blog for the Masses

I am quick to jump on the mainstream music band wagon like most people. I think I might have blogged about liking the song Closer by Neyo and other various artist and songs.  I'm not for sure and want to finished this post before I look. A new song has come into heavy rotation on my iPod. Viva La Vida by Coldplay for some reason I cannot get enough of! I actually have not heard it on the radio or watched it on T.V.. WAIT weird and strange that song is on a itunes commercial!!!!!!!!!! Anyway I have seen 30 seconds of the video on tbs now. I think I was just downloading random song and happened to come across this one and I really cannot stop listening to it. I guess a new song will come and replace Viva La Vida. The song title means "I Live the Life."

*Side note. Does anyone reading this know how to put a power point in a blog?

Quotes

As I sat in the waiting of the hospital I was reading and came across these quotes. Since I can blog from my Blackberry why not share them while I wait.

"America is not just a country. It's an idea."
Bono

"Anyone who believes the competitive spirit in America is dead has never been in a supermarket when the cashier opens another checkout line."
Ann Landers

"News used to hold itself to a higher plane, and slowly has dissolved into, well, me."

Slevin...Round Two

I just finished watching the move Lucky # Slevin. I must say (I LOVED IT!!!!) I thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end! So many twists, turns, plots and subplots. I had no idea what the movie was about or what to expect. I thought Lucy Lui was in on it up until the end. I was about to get upset then they showed her in the train station. Thank god! I may have a rough exterior but I am a sap for love stories. I remember hearing that movies are just MOVIES because it never works out like that in real life. True, but I am a typical American then because I will not settle for an unhappy ending in a movie. 

Sexual Harassment

I have wanted to post this for the last few days, but I needed some time to pass so I could be as level headed as I possibly could about the situation. I was at work the other day and a lady wanted to exchange something. What's is the problem you might ask? Nothing. The problem was in the dialog that was passed from her to me. In order to exchange something or sell at retail you must scan the bar code or type the sku number in. The lady was twirling her merchandise (panties) around her fingers. I waited for her to stop so I could scan it, but she wouldn't. I asked her "can I have your things so I can ring you out?" She then proceeded to say: "So you want my panties hu? You really want them?" HA HA and I'm saying that in a very dry and sarcastic tone. As if that didn't make things uncomfortable enough she asked me to pick things out for her. I told her that she could hire a personal shopper if she needed assistance or advice on what to pick out. She didn't like that idea because as she out it "I would want you to pick it because you would take it off of me." By this time I have not looked up from the computer screen because I felt VERY uncomfortable. Usually I don't mind people being crazy but this was creepy! But wait she wasn't finished. She then told me that "You could take them off with your teeth." By this time I have lost all respect for her and trying as quickly as possible to ring her up and get her out of the store. I felt humiliated, disgusted, mortified and dirty. 

I was shopping for a suit the other day and a lady helped me in the suit department. No problems, but I wonder does she ever get nasty things said to her? I'm going to assume no but I could be wrong. I guess move on and I hope I don't cross paths with that lady.
