Florida Here I am

I have arrived. The plane ride was fine, I even fell asleep. At this moment, everyone is asleep except me. I have to get the code to the DSL line tomorrow, but I found one tonight to "borrow".

First observation:

It's so quiet.

Second observation:

I don't hear a thing!

When I travel I'm normally the type of person that likes to have everything organized and planned, but I'm feeling that this weekend's mantra will be "whatever happens happens".

I still don't hear anything. Not a sound.

Glenn Beck (I had to share)

Why didn't I write this...here are some highlights (if you want to read the entire post, click the here)

Step One: Admit we are not powerless.

Step Two: Believe that a power greater than ourselves can restore us to sanity.

Step Three: Decide to take our power back.

A recent polls says 81 percent of Americans now say that our country is on the wrong track. If you're one of those people, who do you blame? The Bush administration? Congress? The media?

Here's a crazy idea: How about blaming ourselves?

If you don't like the fact that your city has led the country in poverty and homelessness for the last 10 years, then ELECT SOMEONE NEW. Stop voting for the same people from the same party every year.

Our power hasn't gone away (see Step One), it's just been masked by politicians who are tearing us apart for their own gain. We need to reclaim that power, and then we need to use it.

Step Four: Make a complete and fearless moral inventory.

Step Five: Admit our wrongs, and our rights.

Step Six: Be ready to remove our defects.

NYC Subway Rules

New Yorkers surprise me. It happens few and far between, but they do surprise me. Here's a story from this morning...

I get on the train with my suitcase, tote and computer bag on me (quite a bit of stuff, but I'm leaving from work to the airport tonight). I sit and my friend and roommate is next to me. It's crowded (it's rush hour). I was surprised we even got a seat. Doors close and the train moves to the next stop. Doors open, people get in, doors close and subway moves. While riding between stops an old man says, "it's a nyc transit rule that this many people be sitting on this bench, could you move down?" I moved about half a butt cheek and burst out laughing.

He would be better off just asking us to move, but to reference some bogus fact that he obviously made up was ridiculous and foolish. I got heated and had an outburst that B didn't enjoy. I liked how the older guy asked the two white guys to move, instead of the two people of color on the far end. I bet if it was a row of black folk he wouldn't have said a thing. What a scrotum!!

I should have taken my camera out and snapped a few shots of him! The nerve of some people.

For my own piece of mind I went to the nyc subway website for a list of rules and didn't find a single thing on how many people should be sitting on a subway car bench. Click the post title for those list of rules.

Weeds is back

Talking on the Phone

Who talks on the phone anymore? The other day I saw my blackberry on my desk and realized that the only times I pick up my phone to talk is if my mom calls or I'm checking my voicemail messages. Most of time I'm texting or sending emails.

I prefer to text. When you're meeting someone. It's easier to be clear on where you are or how long you'll be there. For example,

Me: Are you here yet?
Other: Nope, just got out of the train, be there in five

That's so much easier than calling, waiting for the voicemail to pick up and leaving a message. It's clean, direct and simple.

For now, my phone mobile phone use will be reserved for my mom.

*****UPDATE******

I love talking to my friends!! Please keep calling!!!! I was in a mood when I wrote the original post!!

Headphone Rant

When I have headphones in my ear...expect me to ignore you!!!!

Too Much Coffee

I'm at work and I'm having sensory overload. I got some strong coffee with a cookie. I've never had caffeine overdose until now. I can hardly concentrate. It doesn't help that I have drum -n- bass music playing.

Oh boi, I'm going to crash!

I had to post this picture

Goodness....I don't care if it's love or lust, it's HOT!!

Remember her?

Miss Taylor Dayne! Love her and it's great hearing the voice again.

Wave of the Future

This is a great idea, but I still want to see the cloths in person!

Love Songs

I would have gone to see this movie tonight if I knew it was out! Alas, I missed it. I guess I'll check it out in DVD.
