I know... I know...

2010-02-27T20:59:00.002-05:00

I've been a terrible blogger but you know the drill, I've been caught up in nursing school [which is a blast btw. Its definitely hard work but I love every minute of it!] and haven't even had enough *me time* to do anything... and when I'm home, I'm studying, working on Care Plans, doing Home Work, or sleeping.

Waking up before the sun does during the week is tough. And on top of school and clinicals, I've picked up a side job as a part-time server and bartender. Yeah I know, "way to be a typical college slut as a bartender, K." or "I see you've made a ton of tips... what all did you do for that cash, K." FYI, Its nothing like that - I'd like to think I'm a great person with a good head on my shoulders, an awesome personality, and a contagious smile -- and if being a server and bartender is gonna help me keep my car, apartment, and help pay my other bills then so be it.

Now that I'm done with my mini vent... I wanted to share these sites:

Free Snatcher

Free Sample Freak

Now I just came across, the second one but I've been using free snatcher for a few months now and its pretty cool-- yes most things can take 6-8 weeks to get to your place but you get it and its cool!

I get free year subscriptions to great magazines when they are available [some times they ask for your "company name" and they wanna know what kind of company, what your position is and blah blah blah just make one up and pretend your the *boss* and TAAADAAA! a free years subscription of a fun/interesting/cool/exciting magazine is in your mailbox :)] and even things as random as free bumble bee tuna, free photo prints, or even free cleaning supplies!

I'm not saying you MUST try it -- but it wouldn't hurt. Just remember not to expect it to arrive right away. Its free -- so it usually takes a few weeks. BUT, its almost like a great surprise when you get mini packages or free magazines in the mail when you least expect it. I dont know about you, but it puts a smile on my face :)

Just trying to help you guys out! If you dont use it, share the links with a friend --- because really, who doesn't like free stuff that is actually worth having or that you would usually [or like to] buy???

However, I've noticed the offers that involve something along the lines of "you can get *this* after signing up for [any number from 1-5 or so] of *these* offers" and those offers usually cost you [i.e. "sign up for netflix"].

Any who, thats all the time I have for now --- I'll have to stop by your blogs another day :(

I hope all is good and well!

Hello friends :)

This is just a snap shot of just one of my many costumes we put together for what my friends and I call our *Two Weeks of Halloween* which is filled with two weeks of different costumes and going out in our group themed costumes.

Although Halloween has a ton of cute, sexy --- oh and slut-o-rific outfits [you know what I'm talking about ;P], we tend to go for home made costumes like the above.

I have a ton of pics I'd like to share... So maybe I'll make another post when I'm done! [yeah, probably not... haha sorry - just trying to be realistic here --- but I do have more pictures and stories to share]

Hope you all are well -- 'Til next time!!!

Duckie ^_^

2008-09-13T16:55:00.002-04:00

So... with all of the crazy storms that have been forming, heading in the direction of Florida, but then doing somthing funky and switching its path.... we've had some funky rain patterns. Usually, it will rain a little some time between 2pm and 4pm either with the sky being all pretty and the sun still out-- or the sky being all gray and yuckie...

Well, I always seem to get caught in the rain.... and I don't ever have enough time to dry my hair between errands and classes so I've been getting sick :(

Right now I'm sneezing all over the place and I've gone through two and a half boxes of tissues this past week... NOT cool :[

Well, at least the duckie enjoys the aftermath of the rainy days :]

I'm gonna go wrap myself up in my bed...

Til next time....

6 Classes = 18 Credit Hours!!!!

2008-09-05T14:08:00.004-04:00

Yes, school is kicking my BUTT!

I JUST started classes a few weeks ago and I'm ready to get this over with!!!

I find time for myself outside of my school work by taking these mini adventures with my friend[s] when ever possible! Which is usually once a week ^_^

I run off to my favorite *secret locations* and just enjoy all that is around me. The guitar is usually brought out as well as paints and or drawing utensils.

^_^ Good times ^_^

That's all for now :P

Hope you all are doing well!

I'm Back With Gifts!

2008-07-26T17:42:00.007-04:00

::My Fav Picture Of The Night::

Yeah I know... I did it again- but I'm back with pictures! Doesn't that make up for all the time I was gone? No? Hmm... Well I'm sorry for staying away for so long... I'm now nearing the end of my *summer vacation* and I'm no longer in NY- I'm back in FL now. My trip back to NY was my chance to let go and enjoy the *City Life* once again with old and new friends. I had the chance to be worry-free about my school work, exams, GPA and crazy professors... I also had a chance to get away from home where all I do is cook, clean and take care of the kids-- the kids being my baby cousins, nieces, nephews, friend's kids and the "big kids" that I live with...

While in NY, I spent most of my days/nights walking and hanging out around Time Square, Broadway, Union Square, Church/Nostrand and just about anywhere else that I could find little stores to get fun and *different* items from. A lot of the time I just took time to enjoy and appreciate all that was going on around me. I took the subway just about everywhere and the bus when I HAD to... $2 each way sounds pretty good to me which is why I didn't take any taxis unless it was a "Dollar Van/Cab" which is really a $2 Van/Cab now since gas prices went up- but I only found those kind of $2 rides in certain areas in Brooklyn so I stuck to the subway when going anywhere else.

I went to the Puerto Rican Festival but not the parade for the first time-- I mean, I usually have more fun at the festival anyway-- more interaction with the people, good foods and drinks EVERYWHERE, free stuff, nice things to buy, TONS of music, beautiful people, more dancing and the best part- more FREEDOM to move around! At the parade, if you are trying to meet up with people you better choose a side of the street because if they are on one side and you are on the other, you have to go to hell and back to get to them. Everything is blocked off for the parade so the cops don't let any one just go anywhere-- plus, the parade starts SOOOO early! After all the partying that is done the night before after the festival, waking up for the parade around 10ish is no fun lol plus, you have to party again the night of the parade so yeah. I just slept in during the parade... and did the party/bar hop that night ^_^

*Good Times*

Pride week was a blast too-- no pictures from that one though... but thats another story why... Anywho, Pride week and the parade was SOOOO much fun! I had met some guys and gals who were going to be taking part in the parade and other festivities during the week at clubs and little events--- and long story short, they invited me and three other friends to come take part and help them out. Now the funny thing is how the guy broke me and my friends down to one of his friends on the phone:

"okay, so we have four more on the team... yup, and the are hot... mhmm, like FIRE!!! This is gonna be so damn much... one is gay, one is a lez, one is bi and the other is straight... nope I already asked... haha yeah, we'll work on making her at least bi-curious by the end of the night..."

Yeah... were you able to pick out which one was me? :P well, they failed at making me "at least bi-curious".... but it was funny and I had a very good time! During pride week I got to work at three clubs, help run mini events and sell stuff at events. I also got to help with hair and make-up for the parade! It was soooo busy but it was VERY fun ^_^

Darn... I've got to get going... I'll come back and visit your pages ASAP! Oh, and the pictures are from the 4th of July ^_^ I had fun with the *fireworks* setting on my cam ^_^

I'll be back...

Willie made a post titled Garden where said:

"comment number 111 gets a drawing done of them, but no commenting more than twice!"

Well, I ended up being comment number 97 or 98 and said:

"oh wow! so pretty! i know which flower i am ^_^ i sure wish this was comment number 111... :( maybe next time ^_^"

Funny thing, when I went by his page again just to see who had won, I saw that it said he had 110 comments on his last post. I got all happy and refreshed the page and all just to make sure that number was correct. I was so excited when I clicked to make comment number 111 that all I could say was:

"yay!"

After sharing pictures and details about myself so that he could get a better idea about who I am, he put my drawing together!

So, here is the REALLY AWESOME drawing of yours truly-- ME!

Don't you love it?!?!?!

I know I do ^_^ I've never had anything like this done for me so its a keeper- I even printed it out and now its on my wall :)

Is that a little much? Naaaaahhh, I don't think so. I'm not really one to win much of anything and trust me- I've tried. So sorry if I seem to be a little too excited... but this is AWESOME! ^_^

Thanks again Willie!!!!

Thank Someone

2008-03-11T18:16:00.002-04:00

Mom put down the paper
Just to help me find my shoes
Kim likes chocolate doughnuts
So her cousin gave her two
And Grandpa played with Julio
He took him to the park
If you forgot to thank someone
Say thank you in the dark

Thank the moon
Thank the sun
Most of all thank someone
Like the stars high above
One for everyone you love

Richard taught a funny song
To Jack and Eleanor
Ed brought Andy comics
When he had to stay indoors
And Mrs. Rose helped Dana
When she waded out too deep
If you forgot to thank someone
Say thank you in your sleep

Thank the moon
Thank the sun
Most of all thank someone
Like the stars high above
One for everyone you love

Friends are like a family
Families are like friends
All the world's your family
The chain will never end
When the night is lonely
And you're feeling miles apart
If you forgot to thank someone
Say thank you in your heart

Thank the moon (thank the moon)
Thank the sun (thank the sun)
Most of all thank someone (thank someone)
Like the stars high above
One for everyone you love

Thank the moon (thank the moon)
Thank the sun (thank the sun)
Most of all thank someone (I think you better thank someone)
Like the stars high above
One for everyone you love

Beach Post For Michael and Friends :)

2008-02-27T16:18:00.007-05:00

I went on a beach trip with about eight friends. It was REALLY nice out. The sun was bright and- not HOT- but warm enough to make my skin tingle. There was a light breese that didn't trouble the water to much in fact, the water was very nice-- and it wasn't very cold either- it was so refreshing!

I can still smell it too- all of it... the sun, water, sand & BBQ!

Okay, so only a few pictures were taken and that was while my friends and I were in the room... we left our cameras upstairs... I guess we were all a bit too excited to hit the beach :\

Neat-O window view-- I like it ^_^

So anyway, I woke up to the above view and got really excited. I got ready and called up my friends who got put in another room. And told them to get ready to have some 'fun in the sun'

Me at the window calling up my friends

We ended up playing volleyball for a while and swimming around for a bit. Then we decided it would be best to stay out of the water for a while after my friend said they'd seen "something in the water" which could have been anything- but I think its better to be safe than lose an arm-- I mean... better to be safe- than sorry ;)

This one was taken right before we left-- thank God for the ZOOM button!

I did a little water skiing- which I hadn't done in a LONG time, but it was SO much fun. I taught one of my girlfriends how to get up on the skis and she was doing great 'till she lost part of her swim wear...

::laughing::

I really thought that kinda thing only happened in movies or in books! It was funny and now she has a great story to tell.

This one was taken once I opened the window.

Then there was the part where this same girl, who loves to tan (yikes...), just oiled up and one of our other friends opened a crunched up bag of chips. And yes, he was fighting to open this bag of chips and ripped it all the way open-- just in time for the wind to catch it and blow it onto my nicely oiled up friends skin. Now as if that wasn't bad enough, down came the birds trying to eat the chips from my friend's body.

::laughing again::

So get this, she is flapping around and screeching while the birds are flapping around and screeching and the rest of us can't do more than a rolling motion on the ground while we all nearly die from laughter.

Another great story to share ^_^

*Good Times*

Anywho... So sorry I couldn't get more pictures of the beach-- or of my friend and her mishaps :P

I'd do better next time around :)

~K Fingerett~

Hello Friends :)

2008-02-21T13:23:00.002-05:00

Wow. Its been too long. I'm sorry if I made anyone worry-- I'm doing just fine-- school is taking up a lot of my time but my grades are looking pretty good so I'm feeling really good about that ^_^

I was going to post about "how warm it is in Florida" for Michael, but I haven't had the chance to take any pictures that I'd like for that post... But I do have a beach trip planned for this weekend so maybe the pictures from that will turn out nice for the post ^_^

Till Next Time!

(hopefully by the end of this weekend)

Three Months Later...

2007-11-19T20:27:00.000-05:00

Wow. It feels like it has been forever and a day since I've been on here. How is everyone doing?

I hope I didn't worry anyone... I'm just fine and Nena has been keeping me busy... but the nursing program is kicking my butt so I've been working pretty hard to keep up. For those of you who don't know, I'm busting my butt to be a nurse for little kiddies and babies like the one above. I found her with her grandmother at a park around here. She has such BEAUTIFUL eyes and I just had to share ^_^

I don't really have the time to go to everyones pages at the moment but I'll do my best.

I hope all is, has and will be well with you all ^_^

And [since I probably wont be back here in time...] have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

Meet Nena!

Aww, this picture reminds me of THIS picture from THIS post ^_^

I love this little puppy

I just wanted to share her ^_^

~K Fingerett~

Smile ^_^

2007-08-17T21:31:00.000-04:00

Is it smiling because its a "reduced fat blueberry coffee cake" and this should be good for you or because it knows it that after your first bite, it will get its revenge because of the icky taste???

Either way, I thought it was kind cool ^_^

'Till Next time!

Just wondering...

Monster Truck

2007-08-14T11:49:00.000-04:00

I took this one while on the way to go shopping with my friend. I wasn't driving this time-- and I can't remember why I looked all the way back... hmm-- maybe a cop or something. Yeah I think that was it. My friend gets super nervous when driving around cops...

*Probably afraid to do something little and get pulled over by these cops around here who seem to have nothing better to do*

...Either that or my friend knows something I don't... Never mind- I think I'll stick with the above explanation :P

Anywho, I was in for a big surprise when I looked out the back window:

Hehe, I thought it was pretty cool ^_^

Just another quick post!

Sorry I can't check your pages right now but I'll check on your blogs the next time I get on here!

'Till next time ^_^

~K Fingerett~

For my 100th post...

2007-08-09T16:27:00.001-04:00

...I bring you all three cute pictures from the Puerto Rican Festival I attended earlier this summer in NYC ^_^

I'm not sure why I didn't post these earlier...

Well the festival and the parade (the day after) were fun (as usual) and so were the after parties ^_^

I've got to get going... I'll try to visit your pages some time soon!

The 90's

2007-07-23T20:55:00.000-04:00

Just a little something a friend sent me in an email-- I thought it was pretty cool ^_^

If you are under the age of 12... you really have no business reading this...

Why? Well, just because you were born in '97 doesn't mean you're a 90's kid.

It's not like you could remember the original Simpsons or anything. I am sorry but three conscious years of the 90's just wont cut it.

Now, with that said...

You're a 90's kid if:

-daddy had a donkey inky binky bonky.

when cops and robbers was a daily activity.

when we played Hide and go seek until our legs grew numb.

when we used to obey our parents

You used to listen to the radio all day long just to record your FAVORITE song of ALL time.

You knew that Kimberly, the pink ranger, and Tommy, the green ranger, were meant to be together .

You remember when Super Nintendos and Sega Genisis became popular.

You remember boom boxes vs. cd players.

Making those little paper fortune cookie things, and then predicting your life with them.

You played and/or collected "Pogs" :)

You had at least one Tamagotchi, GigaPet, or Nano and brought it everywhere.

one word. . . Furbies.

You haven't always had a computer, and it was cool to have the internet.

And Windows 95 was the best.

You watched the original cartoons of Rugrats, Power Rangers, and Ninja Turtles.

Michael Jordan was a king.

YIKES pencils and erasers were the stuff!

You remember when the new Beanie Babies and Talking Elmo were always sold out

You collected those Beanie Babies.

Carebears

Gak was the coolest stuff invented.

Lambchop's song never ended.

The old dollar bills.

Silver dollars, which were cool to have.

You collected all the Troll dolls

If you even know what an original walkman is.

You remember wanting to sit on the orange Nickelodeon couch.

You've gotten creeped out by "Are You Afraid of the Dark?"

You know the Macarena by heart.

"Talk to the hand" . . . enough said

You always said, "Then why don't you marry it!"

You went to McDonald's to play in the playplace.

You remember playing on merry go rounds at the playground.

Before the MySpace frenzy . . .

Before the Internet & text messaging . . .

Before Sidekicks & iPods . . .

Before MIKE JONES . . .

Before we realized all this would eventually disappear.

Who would have thought you'd miss the 90's so much!!!!!

Pass this on to your friends if you remember these days . . . .

Yeah I know... that was pretty long so I'll keep my comments about a few things in this list to myself (for now)

Just thought I'd share!

Street artists

2007-07-05T14:49:00.000-04:00

These ladies are pretty good at what they do... fun colors, designs and even characters if you want...

"for you- only five dollars" they chime...

so you think- "wow, only five bucks! that sounds like a deal"

So you tell/ write down the name you want them to design and you watch them do there thing. (I really think the best part is actually watching them make it.)

Look how skilled this one is-- she can design, answer her phone AND talk in another language all at the SAME TIME! (wow!)

So, when they are done they tell you- "okay, $25" with a big fat grin

then you tell them- "but you said $5 'for me'"

then they explain that the actual name on the paper itself is $5 and that the frame and the plastic to protect it is $20

I wanted to get a few for my friends so i would have ended up spending $100 for four of them... she ended up cutting me a deal and letting me give her $60 for all four... my friends told me they all think I got cheated but I still think its better than paying $100

Just another quick post!

More to come later!!!

(I wont get to stop by any blogs today- which prob. means no one will stop here either... hmmm... well I guess stopping by your blogs is the only way you all know I'm still around-- again, I'm sooooo sorry I haven't been able to post as much as I would like... please forgive me.)

Until next time!

Another little girl

2007-07-01T02:16:00.000-04:00

Sometimes its really hard to take pictures of other people- especially children...

I'm always expecting a weird look...

...someone to get upset...

...or demand that I get rid of the picture(s)...

...hit me with something...

you know- something along those lines.

Anywho... I managed to sneak this one in. I just had to try because I thought she was beautiful and I wanted to show you all. She was just so cute, she had a little pink bike and everything.

I hope thats not weird... Meh.

Just thought I'd share

~K Fingerett~

I found him!

2007-06-28T18:51:00.000-04:00

He was standing around NYC and let me take pictures of him ^_^

I'm alive an well, unlike my blog here... but yeah- I'll see what I can do-- I have a few pictures here to share so I'll try and post all of them over the next few week

I'll stop by your pages now--

You know what upsets me the most about this guy? He does this regularly in class and manages to get nothing short of a high "B" on any assignment or test...

Another quick post

~K Fingerett~

I can't believe this...

2007-04-16T16:20:00.000-04:00

I heard this a few weeks ago on a radio station around here. I'm not too sure what else to say but here- let me know what goes through your heads after this one.

Be sure to click "video story" and click the link to listen in to the call as well.

This just pissed me off.

And on that note...

~K Fingerett~

It looks like...

Well thats all.

Until next time (if there is one)

~K Fingerett~

Yes, I'm Still Alive ^_^

2007-03-08T17:37:00.000-05:00

Yeesh, I've been gone so long they MADE me make a new blogger thingy... I guess I knew it was coming but yeesh...

Anywho-- how have you all been? School has been keeping me busy and I got an admission letter from the university I wanted to go to ^_^ (yay!) I've been flipping out this whole time because I haven't heard back from them so I was happy when I get the good news in the mail.

I had been flipping out because I only applied to one university... so yeah that is usually a bad idea but it worked out for me so I'm happy ^_^

I've been taking a lot of pictures- mostly of events I've been invited to or events I was a part of but I was asked my most of the people in the pictures not to share them... so much for those. I do have these though:

This last one is my fav. ^_^

I thought they were cute. Well that's all for now- another short post... (again) I'm sorry I haven't been on here in forever and two days... But I'm going to check out your pages now

Until next time!

This weekend I went shopping with a friend of mine. I wasn't feeling so well but I almost never get the chance to spend an entire day with my friend so we went out for the day.

I used our shopping cart like a crutch and just glided through the pretty clothing, shoes, bags, shiny things... and I came across these little guys playing their instruments with so much feeling I could almost hear their music.

By this point of the shopping trip I was really feeling sick and weak especially after getting so excited about a certain pair of shoes that seemed to be waiting for me all day on display-- since very few people wear the typical small display size ^_^ oh! and lets not forget the perfect bag to match that I'd found just a few feet away- I'm telling you, they were just waiting for me :) Oh how sad they must have been sitting there all

--- *ahem* ---

So yeah... I was really worn out after all of the- excitement- so I had my friend take these pictures for me.

Note:
You can see bits of her in a few of these pictures ^_^

We figured they wouldn't let this last guy join because he was too young, they didn't like his clothing or the way he had his hair, and they just didn't like his "new age" instrument...

Care to help me give these guys names? And what about their group? What should they be called?

Another quick post!

Sorry, I wont have the time to stop by your blogs tonight but I'll be sure to drop by ASAP!!!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and (just in case i don't get back in time) Happy New Year everyone ^_^

I went out the other day and had a fun time playing, arranging and rearranging some of the funky/crafty looking things in the store. This is one of the many pictures I took- its one of my favorites ^_^

You all must be tired of hearing this... But again, I'm sorry I've taken so long to put up another post... I've been working hard to keep my grades up, making sure all my papers are turned in on time, and studying for the exams that are taking place this week; I've been dealing with family, friends, and those who feel abandon because I've been so busy...

I had the chance to spend some time, with most of the people I've categorized above, this weekend having fun--- yesterday (the 18th) was MY birthday ^_^ (yay!) and I started celebrating around Thursday night-- but, the celebration has slowed a bit because I have to STUDY some more :(

I'm not 100% sure WHY I put these guys up here... I really like their shadows though... ^_^

I'll try to be back and post some more soon!

'Till next time...

~K Fingerett~

So I was in my anatomy class...

2006-12-04T19:41:00.000-05:00

...Zoning out while my poor teacher had to explain [ten times to this one girl]

what the sutures of the skull were and where they are located... And blah blah blah...

Okay, so he didn't say the blah blah blah part but yeah...

He must have explained the different parts of the skull a-bazillion times because even I got tired of it and I [almost] never zone out in that class- its [usually] way too much fun ^_^

Anyway-- while I was zoning out, I noticed a bunch of jars with funky colored liquids sitting in the glass cases above the lab tables on the other side of the room.

So I got up and went for a closer look...

...Yikes...

(eeep!)

(not so weird...)

(the liquids lit up pretty nicely in this picture- I like it)

(...)

There were more but I didn't get around to loading all of the pictures. My teacher had a bunch of stories about most of them since he was the one who found/caught/put most of these guys in the jars.

I hope you enjoyed pictures from my favorite class ^_^

Until next time...

This is my friend's piggy

This girlie was next to the piggy
I think she is pretty ^_^

Just sharing :)

(another quick post--happy weekend! oh, and happy December ^_^)

Just A Quick Note...

2006-11-29T20:03:00.000-05:00

...Well, a quick post to you all

(Sorry I've been taking forever and a day to post :(... please forgive me- I'm swamped with work...)

My friend sent this to me in an e-mail and I thought it was just a little something I could share with you all.

I promise its nothing scary or gross- just let me know what the first thing was that came to your mind after viewing the site- and, if you care to go into any detail about the info. on that page, please let me know that as well ^_^

Here it is

* * *

Yeesh, my fingers are going to be all knotted up if I type any faster- but I should get going...

So sorry I haven't been to your blogs in so long.... *sigh* I miss you guys :(

I'm trying to get my camera up and going so I can take some more pictures to share with you all like I did before- you all seemed to like those... hmmm... Maybe that's why people went away- not enough pictures... oh well- you guys are awesome for sticking around- EVEN THOUGH I don't post like I used to. I will though- I'll get back to visiting your pages more and posting just as much- prob. not EVERY DAY like a certain Grunty man I know but yeah- I'll do what I can.

Ugh... Okay- Now I really have to go... those crusty books are calling me- another big test tomorrow- wish me luck!

~K Fingerett~

Thanksgiving

2006-11-21T16:54:00.000-05:00

Yup, thats about it. I had another post up here- I took it down though...

I'll probably be busy the rest of the day and tomorrow- and maybe Friday too.

Have a good one.

~K Fingerett~

Don't try this at home...

2006-11-15T14:27:00.000-05:00

...or the next time you're in an airplane.

*under the sea!- well, not really but its BLUE!*

Yup. That's right, I took pictures while I was on the plane on my way back to Florida.

*I like this one- it looks like a funky drawing*

I think they look kinda cool. The little lady who gave me my drink just a few minutes before I took these walked by and flipped out on me for having my camera on- and for taking pictures.

*"iiiit's a small world aaaafter all!"*

O_o
My mistake. I wasn't really thinking about my camera being a DIGITAL camera. But yes, I guess it was a bad idea.

*I really like this picture- even though its kind of dark*

I mean, I'd been taking pictures all day long- so I really wasn't thinking about my camera being an electronic device. To me, it was just part of my had or a piece of jewelry hanging from my wrist.

I've realized my mistake and I'll try not to let that happen again. But in the end, I still walked away with some pretty cool pictures ^_^

50's Kid in 2006?

2006-11-13T15:31:00.000-05:00

I saw him the other day, asked if I could take his picture. I thought it was interesting how this high school kid was dressed with "the" hair and cool jacket with those sneakers.

Just thought I'd share.

Back to my studies... (big test tomorrow)

Faces

2006-11-02T14:50:00.000-05:00

So I went to the store and saw these five (plus another in a different store) guys and gals all over the floor. I found myself looking for the little hooks so I could put them back up on that rack. The next thing I new I was putting them together so I could take pictures. And yes, everyone- including the workers- just had a blast watching me decorate this little wall. (I was afraid they would tell me "no pictures in our store!" like they did at Old Navy one time... but that's another story...) I must have spent a good thirty minutes just decorating and day dreaming a bit. I pictured a ballroom scene for some reason and gave a few of them names/titles:

The Prince
Tubby Lady[insert name here]
[insert name here]Evil Blue Guy...?

Um... The Red Guy...?
I'm trying to decide if this one looks evilish or not. The Queen

I liked these so much that I bought them.

All of them.

I couldn't help myself.

I liked them so much ^_^

Feel free to help me with the names!

All Better

2006-10-30T16:41:00.000-05:00

So I was a bit upset because my pictures wouldn't load... but I got this link in my [e]mail box and thought I'd share ^_^ go here!

Enjoy!

~K Fingerett~

Yeesh...

2006-10-30T14:50:00.000-05:00

...I've been trying to load my pictures for a new post for about twenty minutes now- and my computer or blogger is being crummy :(

A post is on its way...

Hopefully by the end of today...

If not, then I'll try another day- oh and

*** isn't that just cute? ***

~K Fingerett~

Interesting...

So I've Been Gone For Forever and a Day...

2006-10-23T18:18:00.000-04:00

...Well at least that's what it feels like.

I'm sorry friends, I've just been so BUSY- I've been having a lot of fun since this month started. I got to go to Halloween Horror Nights at Universal which was AWESOME! YAY!

**ahem**

More about that if and when I get my pictures up here ^_^

Its October!

Are you guys and gals decorating your homes for Halloween?

Any one pulling out, looking to buy or making costumes for the kiddies or [better yet] yourselves this year?

Does anyone here think they are too old for the "Halloween thing?"

I'm making a request for any Halloween related pictures of decorated homes, fun costumes and any creative Halloween goodness.

Tell me your plans for this Halloween- I wouldn't mind a few stories of past Halloweens (sp?) either.

I love this time of year.

Again, I'm really sorry about not posting as often as I would like to...

Thanks for understanding and stopping buy when I do post ^_^

'Till next time...

~K Fingerett~

So Sorry...

2006-09-28T17:28:00.000-04:00

I know its been way too long- but I've been way to busy!

I think I'm doing too much...

My classes aren't too hard- the work is just time consuming...

I've been babysitting on and off throughout the last two weeks...

Twins- two girls- that's who I've been babysitting...

My camera is collecting dust- well it was, then I started bringing it around with me again...

...No time to take any nice pictures...

I tried- there was a fish tank in an office I went to- tropical fish- very pretty....

...They moved too fast...

...The pictures- all thirteen of them- were a bit fuzzy...

I'll show you one of them anyway:

Yikes!

It makes my eyes hurt a little...

So after being upset about the picture with the fishies- I took this one:

I think it is MUCH better.

I like it.

I think I'll stop here.

Back to my studies...

Till next time...

Men In Black

I took this picture a while back... I forgot all about it 'till last night. Men In Black was on TBS and I figured I'd post the roaches "spaceship(s)"
[yeesh... Enough with the roaches eh?]

that's all for now!

(I know- I know... Another crummy post... I'm sorry, but school, family, friends and such has been taking up a lot of my time... I still *heart* you all for stopping by! Thanks so much ^_^)

(Oh, and I decided I wouldn't post anything about 9-11 just because I'm sure there are many other places to go see, hear and talk about it... I'm not being mean about it-- and it definitely doesn't me I don't care about all of the happenings or anything like that--- but I just thought you all could use a little break here on my page... Thanks again for stopping by!)

Time To Worry?

2006-08-29T23:09:00.000-04:00

One year since Katrina...

Now we are dealing with Ernesto.

So far, it seems as if we are getting off easy- well, that's what I'm thinking.

The residents of south Florida (and some in central Florida) have been creating long lines while trying to make those last min. runs to the gas stations, trips to gather supplies for the home, and making mad dashes for the last case of bottled water, canned goods and other hurricane friendly groceries. [ugh... look at how I'm writing. You can just tell I'm back in school :\... okay, no more of that...]

We went to a grocery store this morning around 11:30am-12:00am and all the bottled water was gone, the shelves looked like they let a bunch of wild monkeys have their way in the aisles, and the ground was cluttered with everything from shredded bits of cardboard [boxes?] to a broken flip flop.

Lucky for us, we always have tons of water and canned goods/pantry foods on hand. And we just so happened to have one very big jug-thingy filled extra gas (it was for the lawn mowers we have here)

So even though I'm not too sure much will happen, we are still prepared.

Oh, and bad storms = no school = happy kids.

Well, that's all for now. I'm going to get some sleep, it has been a VERY long day for me. I'll fill you all in on the details about Ernesto and such the next time I get on here. If it's not right away don't freak out- just remember that I've been working on trying to post more frequently -- keywords:" trying to"

Thanks for stopping by!
I'll be back again soon

Today's e-mail

2006-08-26T14:28:00.000-04:00

Remember my "I Like" post? Well, I thought of it when I opened this email:

-----------------------------------

This is for all of the people who order chicken from a Chinese restaurant ENJOY Thank You!!!

Be careful!! ......It may LOOK like chicken but is it REALLY chicken ??

RATS!!!

BURNING THE HAIR OFF THEM

WASHING THEM BEFORE COOKING

CUTTING THEM UP INTO PIECES THAT SIMULATE CHICKEN PARTS

WELL SEASONED TO TASTE GREAT!!!!

PREPARED FOR DEEP FRYING

ALL DONE AND READY TO EAT!!!

THE OTHER "WHITE MEAT" BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN EATING OUT AT YOUR LOCAL RESTAURANT.......ESPECIALLY ASIAN ESTABLISHMENTS!!!

-----------------------------------

Um... Is it bad that even after this I still eat Chinese food? I mean, I've been eating it all of these years and it hasn't done anything to me... right?

For Now...

2006-08-17T15:21:00.000-04:00

Now I know I said I'd be posting a bit more-- I'm trying but I did sign up for a few classes at the little college around here- so I'll be doing that until next year when I head off to a university ^_^

~*~

But yeah, I'm sorry about not posting as much as I'd like to. I have many pictures some that have stories to go along with them and others just to look at. I started my classes on Monday and I'm already swamped with work. So here is a picture to look at until I get my work under control.

Until next time!

Our Spoiled Country

2006-08-11T13:11:00.000-04:00

I've thought about making a post like this for a while... And part of Annie's comment (from the last post) brought up this idea again. The link brings you to a video- DON'T HIDE! It has nothing to do with eyes or roaches (links provided for anyone who missed those or if you just want to see them again... ^_^)... However, the language is another story so you can hide the kiddies. Just let me know what you think.

"...Americans, let's face it: We've been a spoiled country for a long time. Do you know what the number one health risk in America is? Obesity. They say we're in the middle of an obesity epidemic. An epidemic like it is polio. Like we'll be telling our grand kids about it one day. The Great Obesity Epidemic of 2004."How'd you get through it grandpa?""Oh, it was horrible Johnny, there was cheesecake and pork chops everywhere"..."

My friends, this (above) is the ice cream of the past-- because THIS (points to the picture below) is the ice cream of the... the um... well yeah. I can't say, 'the ice cream of the future' because I think that title is taken by the dippin dots...

Well, this is the Cold Stone. My favorite ice cream place ^_^
It can be found in Time Square. Just ask around for it- you wont be disappointed.

Here are some kids that were hanging out after getting some ice cream. They seemed pretty friendly and were having a good time being silly so I just asked if I could take a picture.

that's all for now :)

"A true story of courage and survival"

Excuse my language but- no shit. We all know that it really happened. We were all still alive when it all went down. Idiots.
~*~

As if it isn't bad enough that people have taken down their flags from their cars, homes and even workplaces... As if it isn't bad enough that people don't seem to understand that we were actually attacked.

~*~

This wasn't even what I wanted to post about. But I saw the commercial again on TV and I'm sick of it already.
~*~

No worries though, I'll post something a bit nicer- maybe even a little funny. But not now. Next time.

'Till then...

A Quick Note

2006-08-04T15:33:00.000-04:00

I had a nice little post all set up for you all a few nights ago- stupid blogspot had a nice little error and not only did my post not show up on my page but it didn't even save what pictures I'd loaded before and saved as a draft :(
~*~
Blogspot doesn't seem to be happy with the fact that I've been away from it and not paying attention to you guys... But no worries, when I get back to my place I'll sit down for a bit and try loading those pictures again [once I find all of them...] ^_^

~*~

One more thing, be sure to look on over to the left side of your screen, and check out my "Newly Found Blogs" section. I added one more today (yay!)

Until next time!

2006-07-17T22:28:00.000-04:00

This is my first post of the month and I haven't even had a chance to check on your blogs yet.

::sigh::

I didn't even take any really cool pictures from my 4th of July week- its all family pictures and stuff... But not to worry, I will TRY and do better with my postings again. I still have a bunch of pictures from when I "visited" the city. So to make up for lost time, I bring you these [possibly illegal] cuties that were being sold in China Town.

More random pictures to come!

Didn't I say I had another food place to show you all? Okay, that's coming up too...

~K Fingerett~

Leaving again...

2006-06-30T00:58:00.000-04:00

I probably shouldn't take another break- since it seems like I'm loosing people who stop by because of it... but COME ON! Its the 4th of July weekend/week and I'm going to spend some time with my friends and family and hang out at the beach. I don't want to promise any special pictures, but if I find anything worth sharing, you know I will let you all in on the goods.

I'm leaving tomorrow and I should be back around Wednesday. So happy 4th of July you guys! I'd love to hear what you guys are up to for the big day ^_^

I'll be back again...

You have got to go to the Euro Pan if you are ever in the city- its on eighth Ave. between 42nd and 43rd street... and ohh my gosh... everything is soooo good ^_^

Sweet yummies...

A whole bunch of yummy sammiches and wraps...

And fries and chips if you want... and well, I was going to take more pictures of the neat-o salad bar and fruit section because it was all pretty... but that guy caught me and was pointing me out to the others. I wasn't in trouble or anything, but I was a bit embarrassed :\ so I didn't take any more pictures in the cafe. I probably shouldn't be embarrassed- but he pointed all the way at me!
~*~
Anyway, I'll share some more pictures later. There is a great ice cream place I'd like to share.

Again With The Trees!

2006-06-27T23:01:00.000-04:00

While at the airport, my friend and I decided we'd look for something to eat. While waiting in line, we saw that little thing of bananas. Thats when my friend said something about remembering a bunch of banana trees around his grandmother's house... Thats when I had to inform him that "bananas don't grow on trees." Thats right, I said it. So we argued about it for a while to the point where we ended up bothering some lady with a laptop and asked her if she would do a little google search to find out if bananas grew on trees... of course she looked at us weird but she agreed and did a search. We all agreed that we could cut down the search by adding the name of a banana company to our search- so who else but Chiquita Banana? So we searched for "bananas don't grow on trees- chiquita banana" and this is what we found.

Well, now you know. Bananas do NOT grow on trees...

Thats all for now...

Train & Street Artist

2006-06-26T17:07:00.000-04:00

I thought I'd share this picture and a little story with you all...

So my friends and I are leaving the Bronx and heading into the city. As usual, we are goofing off and just having a blast while we entertain everyone with our silliness... I noticed this guy was carrying a fat folder with paper and a few special looking pencils. He decided to draw the grumpy guy that was sitting next to me. When Mr. Grumpy Face realized Mr. Artsy Guy was drawing him, he scrunched up his nose and kept looking away- he didn't have anything in his hands so he couldn't really hide his face. My friends and I had fun watching him try to make Mr. Artsy Guy mess up, but he just kept on drawing and smiling away- laughing with us at Mr. Grumpy Face every once in a while.

Well, Mr. Artsy Guy finished his drawing in about four stops, flashed the drawing at us, winked and got off the train. I'm so sorry I didn't have the time to take a picture of it for you all, but it was funny. He drew his big, scrunched up nose, his little angry eyes, his frustrated eyebrows and made him look very uncomfortable in his tight dress shirt and tie. The best part was having us in the in the corner laughing away- it was cute.

Alright, no special story for this one... I just thought it was just the opposite of the first picture. Instead of Mr. Grumpy Face, we have Ms. Smiley Face. And this Artsy Guy was getting paid to draw and give his art away while the first Mr. Artsy guy wasn't asking for money and kept the drawings for himself.

~*~

Well, thats it for now...

More Nakedness

2006-06-26T04:08:00.000-04:00

"...Was it just the cowboy's neck that was red?"
~Jams O Donnell

Okay, so my last post had a very good shot of the Cowboy... The truth is, he wasn't all THAT naked- see?:

But pretty darn close, eh?
~*~
Well, I've always see him out there in Time Square during the day- I can't remember if I've ever seen him play his guitar, but there is always a HUGE crowd of girls and grown women around this guy just to look at him and take pictures of and with him.

I would show you more pictures of this guy taking pictures with the girlies, but this is the only one I have that doesn't show the girls face... thats just to give you an idea of what some of these girlies were up to- but its all in good fun.
~*~
I'll share some more pictures of things around the city in my next post... I'm still in 'vacation mode' so please excuse me for moving so slowly and taking forever and a day to get these posts up... I haven't even checked your posts yet ::sigh:: I'll do it tomorrow... well its about 4:30am now... yeesh... I should probably get some sleep

~*~
So stay tuned.
~*~
I took a total of 1047 pictures while I was out and about... too much? I don't know I was having too much fun with my friends. I love all of them, my friends and the pictures ::wink:: Well, I deleted any that I didn't like and most of them wont be any good for here, but I'm sure there are still plenty to share.

The Real Vacation

2006-05-30T22:53:00.000-04:00

Yay! It is here!

Well, my three week vacation starts tomorrow. I'm not sure how often I'll get to post here... but I do know I'll have plenty to share when things get back to normal. I bought a new memory card for my little camera here- so now I can take about 580 pictures instead of about 40 ^_^ fun.

~*~

I would go on and tell you about my plans and elaborate on how I'm going to play the role of a tourist while vacationing [is that a word?] and blah, blah, blah... but I'm already tired and excited- so I'm going to get some sleep and enjoy my time off ^_^

~*~
Oh, and if any one here has the time... check out Michael's blog under the *Newly Found Blogs* section on the left of my blog here. Now HE is a character. He started his blog not too long ago so take the time to read all of his entries [start from the bottom and work your way up]. ^_^ In fact, just skim through my side bar when you all have the chance. Some pretty cool blogs I've found- eh? :)

Free Day

2006-05-28T11:21:00.000-04:00

I decided to take the day off. No driving all over the state, no doing everyone else's job, no picking up after anyone at the house [sorry guys] and no stress. Just a day for me. Is that selfish? Maybe. Even though my "vacation" starts Wednesday, I need this break today. Just today.
~*~
About my last post: I guess I should have saved that for Halloween, eh? Thanks to the few of you who still stop by... I guess I've lost the original crowd that I managed to gather. I guess you all/they would rather me stick to pictures. But I'm not a professional. And everyone else has all these fancy little gadgets they add to their cameras to make their pictures look awesome. AND they know how to use photoshop... I'll have to finish this another time. I'm ready to go.

Relax. I'm not showing you any more crawling jewels. I was flipping through my 2005 journal last night- and in one of my "Wacky Wednesday: Something Different" entry, I found a clip out of a picture that looks just like this:

that's right. Its eye jewelry a.k.a. "JewelEye" - that's what they call it. A Netherlands organization, the Institute for Innovative Ocular Surgery, came up with these stylish platinum implants. These CEI's (Cosmetic Extraocular Implants) come in the form of hearts, stars, eurosigns, four-leaved clovers, music notes and many other shapes "on request."
~*~
Ophthalmologists shove- sorry- "insert" these jewels into the "membrane that lines the outer surface of the eyeball." I just found a video. Brace yourselves. Go on- watch it. [if for some reason it doesn't work, let me know A.S.A.P! This is a must see- hehe, I can rhyme.]
::waits for you to come back from watching the video::

I thought you might like to look at something pretty after that. So...the video... how was it?
~*~
I think this JewelEye looks pretty cool and all- but I don't think I'd get it for myself. Ever. Other reasons for not getting eye jewelry:

1) Money- It is probably very EXPEN$IVE.

2) Netherlands- the only place it can be done [I believe]

3) Risks- I'm sure there is a lot that can go wrong... *cough* BLINDNESS *cough*

4) Procedure- Did you WATCH that video?

5) Um... I don't need a five- in fact, I didn't need this little list at all, the whole "it's just not for me" thing should have been enough.

I'm itching for comments on this one.

Sorry about the lines... This picture was taken through a screen door. This cutie has been hanging out in the back yard all day today. I brought him to the vet and he is all clear. I think he is just lost :\ I guess I'll put signs up tomorrow. Hmm... he needs a name for now... you know... just in case no once claims him... Okay, I'm done.

Fear

2006-05-24T12:45:00.000-04:00

My friend sent me The Phobia List. I was then told to "pick out one that is unimaginable, one that is unfair or ironic and one that brings back a memory..." So here is my list:

Fear of everything.

Panophobia or Pantophobia

I just don't see how this would work.

~*~
Fear of long words.

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia

Why would they name it that? How do you tell someone who has this phobia the name of their phobia? So mean...

~*~

Fear of dolls.

Pediophobia

This just reminds me of the first time I watched Toy Story. Now the movie didn't bother me. In fact, I loved that movie. We ended up buying it and everything. But for some reason, after getting tucked into my bed at night and having the door pulled up, it always felt as if all of my toys, stuffed animals and dolls were watching me! The funny thing is, during the day, I had no problem with all of them. I still played with them. But at night, it was as if they were just waiting for me to go to sleep so they could roam around my room/houes, be evil and do as they pleased. I lost a lot of sleep for a few nights. I finally came to the conclusion that I'd put them all in my closet and push my little table in front of the door so they couldnt get out. Any left overs would be put in the guest room. Not sure when I got over that- but I did.

Are You Having a Bad Day?

by Alex

For all of you who occasionally have a really bad day when you just need to take it out on someone, don't take that bad day out on someone you know. Instead, take it out on someone unfriendly who you don't know!
*
Now get this. I was sitting at my desk, when I remembered a phone call I had to make. I found the number and dialed it. A man answered nicely saying, "Hello?" I politely said, "This is Patrick Hannifin and could I please speak to Robin Carter?" Suddenly, the phone was slammed down on me! I couldn't believe that anyone could be that rude. I tracked down Robin's correct number and called her. I had transposed the last two digits incorrectly. After I hung up with Robin, I spotted the wrong number still lying there on my desk. I decided to call it again. When the same person once more answered, I yelled "You're a jackass!" and hung up. Next to his phone number I wrote the word "jackass," and put it in my desk drawer.

Every couple of weeks, when I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him up. He'd answer, and I'd yell, "You're a jackass!" It would always cheer me up.

Later in the year, the phone company introduced caller ID. This was a real disappointment for me; I would have to stop calling the jackass. Then, one day, I had an idea. I dialed his number, then heard his voice, "Hello." I made up a name. "Hi, this is Mike Smith with the sales office of the telephone company and I'm just calling to see if you're familiar with our caller ID program?" He went, "No!" and slammed the phone down. I quickly called him back and said, "That's because you're a jackass!"

*
The reason I took the time to tell you this story is to show you how if there's ever anything really bothering you, you can do something about it -- just dial my good ol' friend, the jackass, at 555-1111. [Keep reading! It gets better.]
*
An old lady at the mall really took her time pulling out of the parking place. I didn't think she was ever going to leave. Finally, she got the car in reverse and she began to move ... very slowly backing out of the slot. I backed up a little more to give her plenty of room to pull out. Great, I thought, she's finally leaving. All of a sudden this black Camaro comes flying up the parking aisle in the wrong direction and pulls into her space. I started honking my horn and yelling, "You can't just do that, Buddy. I was here first!" The guy climbed out of his Camaro completely ignoring me. He walked toward the mall as if he didn't even hear me. I thought to myself, "This guy's a jackass!" There sure a lot of jackasses in this world. Then I noticed he had a "For Sale" sign in the back window of his car. I wrote down the number then hunted for another place to park.
*

A couple of days later, I'm at home sitting at my desk. I had just gotten off the phone after calling 555-1111 and yelling, "You're a jackass!" (It's really easy to call him now since I have his number on speed dial.) I noticed the phone number of the guy with the black Camaro lying on my desk and thought I'd better call this guy, too. After a couple rings, someone answered the phone and said, "Hello." I said, "Is this the man with the black Camaro for sale?" "Yes, it is." "Can you tell me where I can see it?" "Yes, I live at 1802 West 34th street. It's a yellow house and the car's parked right out front." I said, "What's your name?" "My name is Don Hansen." "When's a good time to catch you, Don?" "I'm home in the evenings." "Listen Don, can I tell you something?" "Yes." "Don, you're a jackass!" And I slammed the phone down. After I hung up, I added Don Hansen's number to my speed dialer.
*

For a while, things seemed to be going better for me. Now, when I had a problem, I had two jackasses to call. Then, after several weeks of calling the jackasses and hanging up on them, it just wasn't as enjoyable as it used to be. I gave the problem some serious thought and came up with a solution. First, I had my phone dial Jackass #1. A man answered nicely saying, "Hello." I yelled "You're a jackass!", but I didn't hang up. The jackass said, "Are you still there?" I said, "Yeah." He said, "Stop calling me." I said, "No." He said, "What's your name, Pal?" I said, "Don Hansen." He said "Where do you live?" "1802 West 34th Street. It's a yellow house and my black Camaro's parked out front." "I'm coming over right now, Don. You'd better start saying your prayers." "Yeah, like I'm really scared, Jackass!" and I hung up. Then I called Jackass #2. He answered, "Hello." I said, "Hello, Jackass!" He said, "If I ever find out who you are..." "You'll what?" "I'll kick your butt." "Well, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now, Jackass!" And I hung up. Then I picked up the phone and called the police. I told them I was at 1802 West 34th Street and that I was going to kill my brother-in-law as soon as he got home. I made another quick call to Channel 13 about the gang war going down on West 34th Street. After that, I climbed into my car and headed over to 34th Street to watch the whole thing.

Glorious! Watching two Jackasses throwing punches and kicking one another in front of 6 squad cars, a police helicopter, and channel 13 news cameras!!! It was one of the greatest experiences of my life!

~*~

I thought it was funny... Just thought I'd share.

Another Funny thing is, my original idea for this Perfect Repair post was going to be about CHOC-AID. But I'll let you check that out here. No worries, its way shorter than the above.

~*~

If you don't want to follow Alex's example, I guess you could always go for one of these:

"For life's emotional bumps and bruises, CHOC-AID delivers the perfect remedy"

Told Ya So!

2006-05-21T18:42:00.000-04:00

...I wish my pineapples would hurry up and grow.
You're growing pineapples there too?

Yup.

Wow! How tall is your tree?

Which tree?

Your pineapple tree.

Pineapple tree?!?! Pineapples don't grown on trees! ::giggles::
Yes-huh
Nuh-uhh
Yes-huh...

* * *

So for my friend- and anyone else who believes pineapples grow on trees:

There is proof. Pineapples don't grow on trees. Is it because 'apple' is in its name why one might believe they grow from trees? Hmmm....

Just a quick post. I took a bunch of pictures today- so I should have more things to post about soon ^_^

Rambling and Sharing

2006-05-17T20:18:00.000-04:00

It has been a while... I've been caught up with things going on here at home and enjoying the blogs of others. I've been slowing down and it is showing here on my blog. Last week, when I went to check out Sebastian's blog, I came across his May 9th post, Blogger or Writer Or Both. And this, along with a few other things, made the light go off in my head telling me that I needed to get it together.
~*~
I've made plans to take an actual vacation [no overworking my self in any way] and relax in the city while playing the role of a tourist. That's always fun- of course my fast walk, transportation know-how and my knowledge of the best spots around might give me away. But who is paying attention to me anyway? The city is too big and exciting for people to sit and point out who came from where- unless you end up striking up a conversation or something.
~*~
I have to apologize... I've been saying "the city" over and over again not realizing that some of you may not know what I'm talking about. Well, for those of you who don't know, my home is in New York City. [So where did all the nice flower pictures come from? We have a house in Florida as well- now you know.] All of this reminded me of an email a friend sent to me a while back. Of course, not all of these apply to me... as much... any more... But here are some of the highlights:

You Know Your A New Yorker When...

You say "the city" -meaning Manhattan- and expect everyone to know what it means.
*
You order your Chinese food through bullet-proof glass.
*
When you get frustrated when people aren't walking fast enough.
*
When you understand this: "Jeet yet?" "No, jew?"
*
You reach middle age never having owned an automobile.
*
When you stand 2 lanes into traffic waiting to cross the street.
*
You can not only take a catnap on the subway while sitting, but can manage to fit one in and stay standing while hanging onto the bar- all without missing your stop.
*
When the "shortest time span known to man" is the time between the light turns green and the guy behind you honks his horn.
*
You're sure that the kids on the subway selling $1.00 M&M's for their "basketball team" are totally scamming you, but you think that paying $225,000 for a 400-sq.-ft. studio is a good deal.
*
You consider taking a cab because you don't want to lose your parking spot.
*
You're standing nose-to-nose with someone on the subway & yet you're not looking at each other.
*
You believe that being able to swear at people in their own language makes you multilingual.
*
The most frequently used part of your car is the horn.
*
You consider eye contact an act of overt aggression.
*
You know what a bodega is.
*

Someone bumps into you, and you check for your wallet.
*
You visit friends out of town and you can't get to sleep because the quiet freaks you out.
*
Your internal clock and daily calendar are permanently set to know when Alternate Side of the Street parking regulations are suspended or in effect.
*
The deli guy gives you a straw with any beverage you buy, even if it is beer.
*
You understand that the plural form of you is youse.
*
Nothing is north or south, it's uptown or downtown.

*
You are in another city and stop by what appears to be a "deli" and ask for a 'hero' with the works. They look at you funny--you walk out angry...and hungry.

*
You call an 8' x 10' plot of patchy grass a yard.
*
You think Central Park is "nature."
*
You haven't seen more than twelve stars in the night sky since one of the blackouts.
*
Your closet is filled with black clothes.
*
You have 27 different menus next to your telephone.
*
You're suspicious of strangers who are actually nice to you.
*
You don't hear sirens anymore.
*
Your doorman is Russian, your grocer is Korean, your deli man is Israeli, your building super is Italian, your laundry guy is Chinese, your favorite bartender is Irish, your favorite diner owner is Greek, the watch seller on your corner is Senegalese, your last cabbie was Pakistani, your newsstand guy is Indian and your favorite falafel guy is Egyptian.
*
You can read all of the above, and find yourself nodding with understanding and agreement (to most of them)...

::sighs:: I love my city ^_^

Wow. I got way off topic huh...

Bok Tower Part II

2006-05-08T17:43:00.000-04:00

The first pond by the tower [I guess I did have a picture of the tower... kind of...] had these guys. They were really big *goldfish* nothing like the ones from my Escape post! Maybe two of these guys could fit in my fish tank- maybe. There were a few REALLY big fish in here but every time one of them would pop up, I would stand there gaping at it through the camera- thus missing a cool photo opportunity.
~*~
I walked on down to another little area and I found this:

It was so pretty.
~*~
SIDE NOTE:
I was told that there were two swans that lived here- but one got swept away in one of those hurricanes that took over and caused so much trouble :'(
~*~
I stood there watching it for a while- taking in its beauty- then I finally took a few pictures. Then I started to laugh. It started out as a smile... But soon the giggles took over. My friend was looking at me all weird but I decided I'd tell him why I was laughing once we got back to the house.
~*~
This is why I was laughing:

He is a little beaten up [notice the tape around its neck...], lacking a tail and wings- but this is MY Mute Swan. I created this "paper muh-shane" masterpiece in the first grade. [I'll have to look around for the book I made to go along with the "report" I wrote...] But yeah, back to Bok Tower...
~*~
I was going to save this last bit for another post, but I needed to get your minds off of my swan... So here is just a little sample of all of that green that we were surrounded by:

When I posted this picture- while writing the above, I noticed a little critter blending in with the green... It's like *Where's Waldo* only its a little critter... His name can be Waldo for now ^_^

Bok Tower

2006-05-07T22:05:00.000-04:00

Just in case you were wondering where I went...
[and even if you weren't I'm going to tell you anyway :P ]

...I went on a little road trip. We drove down to Florida for a birthday party. The party isn't until later tonight and I had already been to the beach- so I decided to drive around a bit and find something else to do. I saw this little sign for 'Bok Tower Gardens' and decided to check it out. It turned out to be this ginormous [gigantic + enormous] plot of land- 240 something acres- of pure beauty! Now in the middle of the gardens, up on a hill, there was a tower made up of 200+ feet of 'Florida coquina rock' and 'Georgia marble' -as the eight minute video that I watched when I arrived informed me. That little video also mentioned that Frederick Olmsted was the guy who designed the gardens well as Central Park in NYC- I knew that name sounded familiar- and other places like the Jefferson Memorial and the White House gardens. Well there is more to the place but lets get to the few pictures I took- since my camera's battery was running low :(
~*~
Once I got near the tower itself- I was greeted by this cute little puppy. Goldie here was so sweet and let me take a few pictures... But when my friend took a picture- his flash upset the poor puppy and it started barking all over the place and getting super defensive! We didn't stay around the tower very long at all- which is why I didn't get any pictures of it :

Okay, so it was SUPER hot- especially when the sun beamed down on us. There were a bunch of trees that provided shade and we decided to look for somewhere to sit down and rest a bit. We saw a bench off in the distance and walked towards it- but we saw that the sun and this little guy had taken over the whole bench, leaving no room for us, so we looked for another one.

We found a nice place to sit and we stayed there for a while. There were a lot of little flowers and butterflies around us- but I couldn't get a good picture of any of them [the butterflies] because they didn't sit still for long and when they did, the wind would blow a bit and take them away... So here are some of the flowers that were in front of us:
And here are some that I saw on our way to one of the ponds (it looks like we just missed the sprinklers ^_^):

Well it's time for me to get going. I'll share a few more pictures from my little trip in my next post- I think you all will like what I found when we reached the pond... ^_^

Party Crasher

2006-05-01T16:31:00.000-04:00

I have a bunch of little friends who like to stop by and hang out in my back yard. And this is one of them. This bunny is always hanging out in the shade of the house sometime after 3pm. So I went through my regular routine: after checking out the garden, I'll sit down and hang out a bit. Then I'll glance over to that little shaded area and see the bunny cooling off in the shade. At this point, I'll head on inside and grab a few pieces of bunny goodness from the vegetable draw of my fridge.

I usually get about three feet away from it and put the treats down on the grass and move away so it can eat without me standing over it. But this time was different. I didn't even get near the shadowed area when it hopped up and bounced away from the shadowed area. It sat there all alert being perfectly still- with the exception of its pointed ears twitching around almost robotically...

I felt so sad. I though I'd done something wrong- that I'd scared it somehow and that it wouldn't come back any more... After taking what I thought might be the last pictures I would have of it, I took a look over to where it was sitting and saw this....

Now I don't mind Kelly's friends stopping by- but not if they are going to be rude to my other guests.

The bunny got away before this new cat got anywhere near it. Talk about ruining the day! Yeesh... I just hope the bunny comes back again. And I'll remember this cats face:

that's right, not tuna or any other kitty goodness for you. Bad kitty.

April is National Poetry Month- and I haven't posted one decent poem all month :
Well, I finally decided on a poem to post for Poetry Month, and not a moment too late... So here it is:

How To Help
by Annie

The first time I went there,
the social worker said,
the house was a mess
I approached it with dread

Tree limbs on the lawn
The grass was in patches
The screen door was hanging
From only two latches.

I knocked once, then twice
But nobody came
A voice whined, "Who is it?"
I called out my name.

I've come from the county
To talk with you today
Your neighbors are worried
They asked me to say

That they care how you're doing.
Can we talk for awhile?
Well, I guess so, she said.
I offered a smile

But she didn't return it.
She hobbled to her chair
So I followed her, asking
To sit with her there.

What do you want here?
She asked testily.
I can manage quite well
Though I don't hear or see

Quite as well as I once did.
Well, out with it now.
What's the county got to do
With telling me how

I should live my life.
I know why you've come.
You think I'd do better
Shut up in a Home.

Stacked items and clutter
Where in view everywhere
Except for the neat spot
Surrounding her chair.

I leaned over toward her
And reached for her hand.
I'm interested in learning
And want to understand

If the county can help
with your home and your yard.
Living alone isn't easy,
Sometimes it's quite hard

To get everything done.
It's especially tough
When seeing and hearing
Aren't quite good enough.

If you have a few minutes
To talk with me now
I'll give you some ideas,
Information about how

The county could help you.
Go ahead, she said slowly,
It won't hurt to know
About what you can tell me.

I could use some help
With my house and my yard.
I've worried about it but
It has been quite hard

To find someone to come
Pick up branches and mow
It's a problem in summer
And in winter there's snow.

Yes, your yard needs some clean up.
We could rehang your door.
There's a work crew to do that,
I said. Is there more

That you need to have done,
Either once or more often?
You're kind, dear, she said,
You have sure worked to soften

The anger and fear I felt
When you came here today.
You respect me. I like that
I don't know what to say

Except thank you, and tell me
Will you stay for a while?
We could talk and have coffee.
And she gave me a smile.

Check Out His Ride

2006-04-28T19:10:00.000-04:00

Since I had so much fun on my last trip to Florida, I decided I would go back and hang out at the house. I went to my friend's house [somewhere in a place called Highlands County], and we decided to go to one of the little shopping malls they have there. Now I parked and as we were walking towards the mall, I got a glimpse of this car and had to stop and look it over.

My friend was all embarrassed and started with the "hear we go again" sigh as she slowly made her way to the benches to have a seat... So I walked all around the car. I read all the quotes and such, looked at all of the little figurines and toys- I even touched a few of them O_o

Just as I turned on my camera, I saw this tall man [around fifty years old?], wearing a cowboy hat with "Jesus" written on the front, walking towards me. He gave me a little nod and a quick half smile which is when I put two and two together and realized it was his car [duh!]... I wanted to ask him all about the car- why did you do this to your car? How many things have you glued to the car? How long have you been doing this? Etc...-but after fitting yet another sticker on the side of his car, he seemed to be in a bit of a rush. He wasn't mean or pushy about it, but he was defiantly trying to ignore me while I stood there [probably looking silly] trying to get the words out of my mouth. So finally, while he was opening his door to get in, I asked if I could take a few pictures of his car- I was going to get my pictures whether he wanted me to or not- and he said "sure" while getting ready to sit down in his car.

Before he sat down, I had already snapped about three pictures. I found it kinda funny, for someone who is doing something so attention grabbing, that he wasn't very welcoming... Maybe it was just a bad time/day? Oh well, I got my pictures and a few other items from the mall- so my day turned out to be just fine :) I don't know, I thought the car was kinda interesting... Just though I would share ^_^

Escape

2006-04-24T16:00:00.000-04:00

*Feeling free- until you realize you've been trapped in a large glass box of water*

Well I went on down to Florida to visit a friend this weekend. It was someone I hadn't seen in about three years now- It was great to see them again :)
~*~
The days were so nice- they were hot- but a dry hot... Not the sticky hot that I get here at home. The nights were the best- the night air was so refreshing... It was just so nice to be away from home- even if it was only for a few days. Now don't get me wrong, I love being home- but its nice to get away every once in a while. I've always wished that I would have the time to travel somewhere far away. Somewhere with a totally different culture- not too far out of my comfort zone... But something new and exciting.
~*~
Well I'm tired... I think I'll turn in now- I guess I'll have to check out your blog entries tomorrow... Thanks so much for the lovely comments- they always make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside [hehe :P] You all should be hearing from me soon enough!

Leaving Again

2006-04-21T21:11:00.000-04:00

I'm going away for the weekend. I don't know if I'll have access to a computer so this may be the last post 'till Monday or so.
~*~
So here is yet another flower to look at while I'm gone :D

Have a good weekend everyone!

Railroad

2006-04-20T22:57:00.000-04:00

I went on a little road-trip Wednesday night to go visit a friend. When it was time to switch, so that I was sit in the passenger seat, I decided I'd try to take some pictures.

~*~
So while crossing over this railroad, I snapped this picture. I wasn't happy with the color [the person behind me didn't want my window down...] because I took the picture with the camera right up against the (slightly) tinted window. So when I got home I edited it by clicking the 'sepia' button. Its not my favorite picture, but I think it looks better this way.

~*~

Anyway, when I showed this picture to my friend's little boy, he sang this little rhyme to me (he is here now, so I had him repeat it for me :D):

An apple sat on a railroad track
Feeling very blue and cross
Around the bend came Number 10
Toot Toot
Apple Sauce

I thought that was cute. I remember a little rhyme like that as well, only the one I knew wasn't about 'Apple Sauce'- (I don't remember if this is how it goes but here goes nothing!):

A peanut sat on the railroad track

Its heart was all a flutter
"Watch out! Here comes the 9:15!"
Toot toot
Peanut Butter

I don't know... I thought they were cute ^_^

Wildcat Kelley

2006-04-19T15:56:00.000-04:00

Just the other day, I found myself walking around my house and checking out all of my flowers. I went along the side of my house and started around the bend to my backyard. I turned the corner and took a few steps, looked up and met eyes with Kelley. [Kelley has been showing up around my house for a few weeks now and he brings his friends whenever we are grilling and or eating outside.] Usually he dances off into the bushes and watches when someone comes near him, but this time he froze mid-step, and was just looking at me. We stood there for a while- I don't know how long we had our eyes locked... It was the almost uncomfortable- but after a few moments of staring, I turned on my camera [which was hanging on my wrist-as usual...] and took a few pictures of him.
~*~
Its almost as if he believed he was invisible. And looking at his eyes in the picture, he looks as if he stumbled into some of this at some point in time... Thus giving him the power to... Um... Stay very still with very crazy eyes...?
~*~
After about three pictures, I expected him to have been long gone when I was done looking at them, but I looked up and the only movement he had made was putting his front paw down on the ground- he was still staring! So I set up to take some more pictures when my friend came outside, letting the screen door slam behind him. It scared poor Kelley half to death- making him jump up and dash for the bushes.
~*~
I haven't seen Kelley around - I guess it's because we haven't had any food outside lately. At least I hope that's the case...
~*~
Oh and BTW, just in case anyone was wondering, when I saw Kelley for the first few times, I decided to name him Kelley after the 'cat' in Ella's song, Don't Fence Me In. Now how do I know this song? It was the song I chose for my "big performance" in 10th grade while in my 'Jazz Vocal' class. I might share a bit about that another day... Good times ^_^

I took this picture the other day... I really like this flower- but I think it looks a bit 'fake' in this picture... maybe its because I forgot to use the flash...? O_o

If you can see, look.

"Daddy" is out of town so that means I get to babysit his little girl again for a little while ^_^ and I'm very excited. She is so small and pretty and just so lovable :D
~*~
She is VERY shy around people she doesn't recognize and even more so when she is in a crowded place with a bunch of strangers [like the mall or while in the subway]. Although she is shy, she is a curious one and I found that she loves the camera :) [which is great because the camera seems to feel the same way about her :D]
~*~
It was so nice out that we decided we should go to the park. After spending time on the swings, she went on to color the ground with her chalk art. When she was satisfied with her work, she looked up and over at me and smiled- giving me an eyeful of those beauties up above.
~*~

Then for some reason that familiar expression popped into my head:

*The eyes are the windows/doors/gateway to the soul*

Then I wondered, 'where did this phrase come from? And what are her eyes saying about her soul?'
~*~

I don't know. I just thought it was funny how all of that came simply from looking at the eyes of this little princess ^_^

Food Dance

2006-04-16T13:09:00.000-04:00

This is my friend's little girl puppy. She is very sweet but has the weirdest little routine when shes ready to eat...

Here she is looking around and wondering if anyone else heard her tummy grumble...

The yawn. Sharing that lovely morning doggy breath...

The stretch.

Being friendly and wagging her tail for attention for anyone who she believes is capable of giving her the yummy goodness... [I didn't catch her running around, in, out and then back in the house again- but that picture would go here...]

satisfied and back on the sofa after inhaling her yum yums.
[I love this picture ^_^]
~*~
Well, that's all I have time for right now- I have some shopping to do for some of the kiddies :D
~*~
Oh and before I go, will someone please tell me what the difference is between these two:

***Happy Easter***

"Tinted Flowers"

2006-04-14T18:58:00.000-04:00

Well, when I went back to the store to get those flowers from my Colors post, I found that they were all gone... But after my trip to the park, I went to the store and found these. I thought they were pretty and that they would look nice for this weekend :D
~*~
Sorry this isn't a nice and flashy post... I just thought these were nice and wanted to share. I'll try to do better next time :)

Show & Tell

2006-04-12T22:26:00.000-04:00

I remember when I was Elise's age. Everyone was my friend. I was not worrying about yesterday or tomorrow- just living one day at a time.
~*~
I remember the TOYS R US song and believing that I would be that 'toys r us kid' forever. This picture of Chris reminds me of my yellow jeep from toys r us... I was the coolest kid on the block [or so I like to remember it :p]- everyone wanted to ride around I'm my new car ^_^
~*~
Everything was going great- the sun was bright, there was a gentle wind... I would drive by a few kids and they would all run up and ask for a ride. After picking my first passenger, I would ride around the park and then pick up another. I was making all kinds of friends. I don't remember talking much, maybe just the usual small talk... "I'm Kay, what's your name?" ... But we would just enjoy the ride with the wind and the eyes of all the kids who wanted a ride.

~*~
This went on for a good while- everyone had had their second or third ride by now- then it happened. We started to slow down and the familiar sound of the "engine" came to a halt... I remember getting out and walking around to the front of my jeep, pulling the hood up, then looking and poking at the engine [a big sticker with illustrations], and scratching my head while trying to figure out what was wrong and how to fix it.
~*~

Soon my 'friend,' who realized the ride was over, got out and left to tell the other kids about what just happened... Well, the kids all came running over- poking, pushing and turning the wheels, the 'engine,' and event the lights. Once all the kids stopped arguing about who took up all of the taxi time and used up the "gas," they all left. There I was with my broken jeep. I was so sad...

~*~
Over some icey cream ^_^ *Yum!* my big brother explained that the jeep ran on special batteries. I didn't really care how it worked, as long as it would work again- plus, the ice cream took my mind off of my broke't jeep.
~*~
Wow... Long post... Sorry guys :

I just got caught up... Well as you can see, I'm back- and my friend is doing just fine now :D

I need to check out everyone's blogs- and try to make up for all of the posts/entries I missed!

~K Fingerett~

2006-04-10T16:28:00.000-04:00

I'm leaving tonight to stay with a friend who needs a little support... And I'm not sure how long I'm going to stay there [maybe one night, maybe a few nights]... So, here is something for you all to look at while I'm gone. Hopefully I'll have something to share with you all when I get back ^_^

Colors

2006-04-09T02:04:00.000-04:00

After seeing all of these flowers together like this, each single flower I picked up to take with me just looked so... 'blah' without the others. It is easier to sneak in one or two flowers, but I wouldn't hear the end of it if I brought all of these in :\

~*~
I just couldn't get those flowers off my mind. I guess it was just all the pretty colors- that you see all year round- but for whatever reason, when spring comes around, they seem to stand out more.

I thought about them after seeing these while at the market...

After my shower....

When cleaning the guest room and found Payton's little art set...

::sigh:: I think I'm going to have to go back and get those flowers.

Everything Is Okay Now

2006-04-07T20:40:00.000-04:00

Today wasn't a very good day for me...

MY MORNING
I woke up, tripped, then fell over the puppy. My first 'Mr. Bear' fell apart when I tried to flip him:

My brother's friend took [my second] Mr. Bear's right leg off but put it back for the picture- that's why its shifted down :(

SOMETIME AFTER 2:00PM

I wanted to play my violin, so I started to tune it when one of the strings broke. So I was on my way to get a new violin string, saw that my tank was kinda low so I stopped for some gas. After gripping the nozzle thingy, I realized it had gas all over the handle- so now my hands smell like gas. When I was done pumping the gas, I parked and went inside to wash my hands off. And their bathroom was 'out of order.' So I had to buy a pack of hand wipe thingies. Of course when I tried to open it, the wipe flew out and hit the floor so I had to buy a new one. When I finally got back to my car, I realized one of my earring were missing. So I searched the car and bumped my hand on something under the seat... I gave up and decided to go hang out at the beach.

AT THE BEACH

The beach was nice since the sun wasn't too hot.

I figured my bad day was finally over. And it was. When I got home, my friend [who I haven't seen in a very long time] was here! We decided that to watch a few movies with pb&j samiches and cranberry juice like we did when we were younger :D

~*~

I almost forgot how good pb&j samiches are! When was the last time you all made one for yourself? Its been a while huh (hehe) :P

'Swonderful

2006-04-06T16:31:00.000-04:00

When driving through my neighborhood, I always see all the beautiful homes which were decorated with all of their gorgeous plants in their yards. It looks like my house was a bit bitter. It appeared to be terribly green with envy since it only had a few hints of color poking out here and there... But today, I noticed that [pretty much] all of my flowers were out stretching and taking in the sun :D
~*~
So I'm all excited about all the different colors, shapes and sizes of my flowers! Now my house looks nice and pretty ^_^

Flower Dance

2006-04-05T08:56:00.000-04:00

***I watched them trade places- flying from one flower to the next... It looked like they were dancing***

After getting the mail, I reached the driveway, stopped and started looking through the mail... And thats when three bees just zoomed past my head- I thought I was being attacked and freaked out.
~*~
When I was done freaking out and opened my eyes [and looked around to see if anyone was watching O_o], I turned to see my flowers behind me and realized that is what the bees were after- not me... Duh :\

~*~

Well, I was still a bit shaken up, but I pulled out my camera and took this picture [and a few more]. I was still kinda scared that I would get in the way of one of the bees and it would attack me and call all its little friends to help :( ... [I've never been stung by a bee or anything like it- but I've seen people get stung and its not pretty...]

~*~

Anyway, they didn't attack me while I took pictures of them. All they did was fly over and around me- which was still a little nerve racking- but at least I got a few pretty pictures ^_^

Crawling Jewels

2006-04-04T09:07:00.000-04:00

A few weeks ago, a friend told me something about living roaches on pins that people can put on their clothing. A comment reminded me about it and I decided to look it up...
~*~
First, check out this designer who uses roaches as jewelry. When your done with that check this out for a video.

Can you believe it?

Legs

2006-04-03T21:13:00.000-04:00

Okay... I don't like spiders. They make my skin crawl. But on my way up the chair to crush this little bugger, I noticed those two sets of legs behind it.

You can see them better in this one (above). They were just legs connected [to a small bit of... spider skin?] in the middle. Do spiders shed their legs? Or did this guy eat two other spiders and didn't think there was enough to eat in the legs? I know... its kinda gross, but I'm curious :\

There he is hovering above- er... under the cealing.

~*~

By the way, I didn't crush it. Its still there... I kept getting the chills after I took these pictures. I hope its not going to bite anyone :\

Oh, and I didn't mean to post twice in one day... but I had to share the spider. So don't for get to check out my post from this morning :)

Human Canvas

2006-04-03T01:27:00.000-04:00

My friend sent these to me via email, but copied down their link incorrectly... So I have no idea where they came from :\ I wish I did, so I could give them credit as well as look at what else they have!
~*~
But yeah, my friend sent this because we went to a festival type thing last year and they had a body painting contests. There were painters and their human canvas' and I was just amazed! I had no camera at the time [bummer...] so all I have left are some flyers from the event. But now I'm remembering them and the art was much like these two here. The artists were picking people out of the crowd and I was asked by one of the painters if I would let them use me as their canvas... Although he was nice about it, I declined. I was WAY too shy to be half naked, painted, and then stared at for a few hours by a bunch of people!!!

If any of you know where these pictures came from, please let me know!

I hope I don't get in trouble for having these up :(

Thanks to Markis, I now have the address to the site where these pictures came from: http://www.fashionfinds.com/december99/pages/the-human-canvas-1.htm

Finding My Past

2006-04-02T18:39:00.000-04:00

I found my old CD player while looking through some boxes I found packed in the guest room closet. I sat there and just remembered a bunch of my middle/high school 'highlighted moments' that I made or was a part of...

Blue Pinkies
Harold's Burning Sensation
Pixie Sticks
5 Alive & rollerblading
Picture Frames
~C~R~A~J~
Roman Heads
Sears and H&M Models
"M.A.W = Mexicans With Attitude..."
Home-Made Go-Carts

...And the list goes on and on ... ::sigh:: ... Good times.
~*~
I was always a big fan of music. And taking road trips with my brother and friends was always a good time. We always had some mix CD's filled with feel good music and those... unique songs that you just had to smile at [like Mexican Wine by Fountains of Wayne] and then learn and sing along to.
~*~
I think I'm gonna go dig around in that closet some more... Maybe I'll find some more goodies :D

Still Waiting

2006-03-31T01:46:00.000-05:00

When I was younger, I remember watching shows, discussing with friends, reading magazines and all of these different articles about the future and the big year 2000 and what it would all be like. You know, transportation and cities that hovered high in the sky, robots, funky/shiny/metallic outfits, weird shaped buildings and super advanced technology. The year 2000. It seemed so far away at the time- and I just wanted it to get here so bad. I just couldn't wait!

~*~

Well its the year 2006. And yes, our technology is more than it was... But I'm still here... still waiting for my year 2000.

Theatre Night

2006-03-29T17:14:00.000-05:00

My friends and I went out the other night to watch a play at a 'little theatre.' From what I told, the play came from an old movie- about two generations back or so. Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, thats what it was called.

~*~

When we made our way through the entrance- we were greeted by ladies wearing bonnets and the proper costume to go along with it. They were all dressed up- some with bright red lipstick and others with flushed cheeks. They were all very friendly and were just having a great time talking, smiling, laughing- entertaining themselves and everyone else in the room.

~*~

Then it hit me... my camera! So I headed back out the door to go grab it out of the car when I was greeted by the Boa Ladies. They were very cute. They walked in with there heads held high, great big grins on their faces and swished their hips from side to side- in unison- as they approached the door. I held the door open for them- about eight of them I believe- and as each stepped though the door, they tugged on one end of their boa and did that palm pat to the side or the end of their hair, shook their hair and walked all the way in and formed a line inside- hands on hips. We knew it wasn't over- the went on and did a little one to two minute dance and song. But again- it was very cute. They all looked as if they might be older than my grandmother- but the way they were dancing and singing... They were just having a blast! And so was everyone else in the lobby area.

~*~

After the show by the Boa Ladies, I went out for my camera. Knowing they don't like cameras in the theater area itself- "no cameras or recording devices are allowed into the theatre"- I just snapped the picture above and a few others with my friends and put it away so that we wouldn't get in trouble.

~*~

The play was a lot of fun- tons of singing and dancing and even a few laughs here and there. It was great :D
