Chris Brown - Crawl

I realize Chris Brown is slightly controversial at the moment, but I’ve always been the type to separate a person’s personal life from their professional. I don’t approve of what he did (to say the least), but that doesn’t change the fact that I enjoy his music.

With that said, love this song.

Downloading music to add to my iPod. Favorite so far: Glee Soundtrack. Totally looking forward to rocking out to that as I road trip it to Woodbridge, Va to visit a friend and go see New Moon tonight. I rarely get to see her these days so I’m pretty darn excited.

I’m fighting with the boy (sorta) so looking forward to getting out for the night. He doesn’t know I’m going yet. He’s at work so I’m going to text him. He knew I was “maybe” gonna go. He’ll realize we need a lil space while I’m gone. Hopefully. :) God, I hate arguing.

Regardless, looking forward to tonight!

Randomness

Fri, 20 Nov 2009 23:13:00 -0500

Bored on a Friday night I’ve indulged in reading through google documents where I’ve “documented” my life. I love to write, I can’t help it. Anyway, this little tidbit gave me a chuckle. We’ve all dated this guy, we’ve all tried to stop dating this guy, so thought I’d share.

Really? Wait. Really?!?

Last night, well to be accurate, early this morning my cell phone starts ringing. Really? I was in the middle of a dream. It’s a Thursday night. I look at my clock then my phone. 2:11am. Who is it? The fireman. Really?? I am immediately angry. You are calling me at 2 in the morning when you know full well that I work in the morning? Really??

Begin tangent: I failed to note that on Saturday 3/14 I ran into the fireman downtown at a bar while partaking in some St. Patty festivity celebrating. This was the first time I’d seen him since my last courtesy phone call regarding the health of his grandmother, and my decision to leave well enough alone; that I’d done enough in the ending of all of this. I saw him from afar and immediately attempted the duck and hide. I went off to the ladies room so of course as I’m leaving the restroom and heading back to my people, who should I unavoidably pass? The fireman. To be blunt, he was a dick. Clearly his ego had experienced some major bruising because he tried to act like he was too good to say hello or chat. When people do that to me, I kill them with kindness. Those people want you to be a bitch so they can go around and say you’re a bitch while armed with validation. If you’re nice it just makes them feel worse about the fact that a great person rejected them and they still can’t have you. So that’s just what I did. I made sure I said hello. I smiled like I meant it. He tried to act as if he didn’t see me, then that he didn’t have time to talk, and I’m pretty sure he even tried to be nasty but didn’t have the balls to follow through. All of this not only made me feel better about not seeing him anymore, but cleared up any guilt I may have harbored for having ended it. Also ending the need to supply any additional closure to the situation. Done and done. Dickhead. I later heard he went home with a random girl and did the walk of shame back to his car without even saying goodbye to said girl. Oh the small benefits of him being friends with my friends’ boyfriend. End tangent.

So needless to say, I was irritated that he called me at such an inconsiderate hour and then proceeded to leave me a lengthy voicemail so that I was awoken again moments later by the message alert. But back to sleep I went.

This morning after I got out of the shower I listened to the message. Basically, he was demanding an explanation (yes, he actually said he wanted an explanation) for the fact that although I told him I did not want to see him anymore because something was missing between us, he heard that I had said that I didn’t think he tried hard enough. Wait, really?!? So let me get this straight…it has been weeks since you acted like a dick when I saw you in public and even weeks before that that I actually ended it with you, but you’re still going to proceed to call me at 2am demanding explanations as to why it ended? We dated for all of a month or so. We only went to 2nd base (yeah, I’m pulling out the bases). And wait, you heard this little fact? You’re almost 30 years old. I learned to stop paying attention to he-said, she-said in middle school. OMFG.

He went on to say how he would’ve treated me “like a woman” (as opposed to?) and he cares about me and really wanted to be with me, but wants an explanation as to why I said this so call him back and explain. Oh, and he hopes I’m doing well.

He followed up this retarded voicemail with a text this morning at 8am that read:

Douchebag: I’m sorry about the late call last night. I have no excuse for that.

Oh yes you do, you’re a dick.

Note to self: Never again date a guy who is friends with a friend’s boyfriend. This inevitably ends with gossip and someone trying to make you out to be the bad guy. Clearly, someone wants me to be the bad guy in this situation when it is obvious that he simply failed. Deal with it. Move on. I owe you nothing.

It’s official, the aftermath of this “thing” has lasted longer than the actual dating did.

I’m sorry for the lack of activity around these parts. I’ve been super busy at work (lame, I know). But I’m kicking butt and taking names around this place so hopefully I can take off all of next week for the holiday, (since I lost my vacay time around my bday, boo).

I plan to be back in action some time soon!

p.s. I took a looong ride on the bitter bus. You didn’t want me around here spreading my negativity. I’ll be sure to be in a jolly mood once I do return :)

Happy Birthday to ME :)

Today, 11/11, is my birthday! The big 2-9. Can’t imagine a better group of people to share today with then American’s Veterans - so Happy Veteran’s Day! My Pop, a veteran himself, always said it was a blessing I was born on this day.

I was supposed to have today through Friday off from work, but my not-so-nice boss (and by that I mean not nice at all), decided at the 11th hour that I really need to be in the office. So now I’m just off today and that is only because I insisted on it. Needless to say, it has been busy at work. But really, I stayed late the past two nights, and as you can see I didn’t even tumble, got my ish done and could totally afford to take my days (that were approved months ago) off. But to avoid making waves I’m sucking it up and going in. At least I have today, right? Right.

So all my birthday plans have shifted. I had planned to go out to sushi dinner tonight with the boy, drinks and such with everyone Saturday, and to the ‘rent’s place on Sunday. Now we’re doing it ALL on the weekend. I’m old. Can’t go out and function at work the next day anymore.

I’m doing my best to relax indoors on this rainy day with the pups, a couple movies I picked up from the Red Box last night and a new book. (And if I’m being honest, doing some job hunting. I’m seriously bitter right now). I couldn’t be happier doing nada.

I did a lil’ Victoria’s Secret shopping last night so I plan to put that in action just in time for the boy to arrive home from work. Hmm, now is that a gift for me or for him? Hey, I’m pushing 30 - need to feel like I still got it!!

Hope everyone has a great day!

Happy Birthday to ME :)
