Ah, It's Always Sunny re-runs, right now I'm up to "Mac's Banging the Waitress". Nothing better to do on a snowtastic Saturday than laugh my ass off.
I finally got my phone off T9 which was irritating me all night, if you're not partial to it then you know the struggle of trying to use it especially since my phone is a QWERTY and there's no need for it. But I did learn that when I type in R-E-T my phone thinks I want to write the word "retarded".
I'm really appreciating having my own Zune to listen to now. For over a year I was using my brother's and/or my sister's when they weren't using theirs and it was okay but I've missed my music. We listen to similar stuff but you know it's never the same. And my sister has a disturbing amount of reggaton on hers. I constantly have music on shuffle and it wasn't fun having to continually be skipping to the next song with their music. Now I get to hear all the stuff I was missing out on for all that time- The Sounds, Taking Back Sunday, Say Anything, Jack's Mannequin and much, much more.
Now that the girl that works for me is done with school I have more time off which is great because I've really been slacking on my drinking. That's just something I don't want to keep on the back burner for that long. It also looks like I'm going to have to wait another week on that cake tasting. Dammit I'm a sucker for cake.
Can anyone tell me why I should give a shit what Johnny Damon thinks about his trade? I didn't care when he was a Red Sock, I didn't care when he was a Yankee and I couldn't care less that he's happy where he's going now. He says he's glad that he's now on a "young team" so does that make him team grandpa? Cause he's no spring chicken. I don't dislike him for his playing he just looks like an a-hole. It's just his face, I don't know. Maybe fifth times the charm for him.

D: How about spinach lasagna
C: Sounds good. Where shall I acquire it
D: IDK
C: Thanks
D: Sorry. You're the italian one!
C: So you think I can just make lasagna appear out of thin air? Racist.
D: No but I think you know where to find some.
C: So you think I have some kind of radar to locate Italian food? More racist.
D: What?! How!? I can't win with you!
C: Sounds good. Where shall I acquire it

Number Nine Number Nine Number Nine
Yet another snow day wasted on me. I was blessed this morning to receive a CUNY alert at 6:22am that the campus is closed too bad I don't have classes on Fridays or that may have been good news. The automated program then proceeded to call me seven times until I finally got up and hit ignore and it left a message telling me there is no school today. Yipee. Same thing two weeks ago when they were closed on Wednesday. Wasted! Living in woe.
Anyhoozlebees,
Sent Paola to come in and open this morning on a two hour delay and bless her heart I got here and she had shoveled plus on Wednesday Ivette took the initiative to clean the entire gym, every nook and cranny. That's the shit I like in employees- earning that paycheck. People actually came in to workout today which was a surprise but I guess they want to get away from their kids too. I only left because I left my textbooks at work last night and this is where the good coffee is. I can't stay home all day I'll just get stir crazy and lose it. Spending the whole day on hype machine- right now it's Passion Pit. I don't want to be out but I can't stay at home, there are people there. My family. You know what I'm talking about.
The ultimate plan would be to move all my friends in to one house so that on days like this we can all just sit around and not have to travel to see each other cause that shit is annoying. Just lounge about and drink, build some forts and igloos. I love igloos.
Going to have to shovel again soon. Dammit. I hope things will be better tomorrow I'm feeling the itch to go out and an open bar is far too tempting. Such a lush.

The Ocho!
So, my TONY comes in the mail yesterday and to my astonishment the topic of the month is Brooklyn Vs. Manhattan: Where do you belong? and two thoughts come to mind: This is going to be an interesting read and dear lord why are we subject to the borough war time and time again. It's bad enough when a subway series comes along every spring. So the whole gist is that a Manhattanite and Brooklynite are facing off as to why their borough is better (already a bad move- who's going to speak out AGAINST their home?) They proceed to go three rounds hitting on culture, "important things" (which is too subjective to even get me started on) and the real New York experience.
Now, I'm a Queens girl, born and raised, straight down to my core but I have spent a fair amount of time between Brooklyn, Queens and Manhattan (Sorry, other two). The first problem with this whole trial is that neither party is going to see the point of the other one because not only are we discussing home turf but it's a difference between New Yorkers (yes, New Yorkers- we don't know how to back down when you're talking about our town). Second, this isn't that serious. Every borough in New York seems hellbent on winning this invisible belt to be the greatest part of NYC, which by being included as a part of the cultural center of the world you should have enough pride in that alone but no one ever seems satisfied by this. Every area of New York has it's own unique contribution which makes this city and state great- though we've yet to see Staten Island really pull it's own weight
The article goes on to give statistics on things like realty, population, crime (Brooklyn won that in case you were interested) supermarket prices, blah blah blah. Each person puts in their two cents, though no winner is ever declared, they both make sound arguments for their area, but what does the better borough really come down to? Is it really culture, food, homes, schools or cost of living? It seems to just be flat out ego at the end of the day. Both offer eclectic choices in film, music and shows so that can't be it. You can eat food from almost any culture and find great stores to suit your individual taste so what is it? I must know! If you're a sports fan you have no choice but to go to the Garden to watch basketball and hockey, for baseball you to travel up to the Bronx or to Queens and football takes place in Jersey for some stupid reason. We're all divided in that sense (if you're not a sports fan then you have no idea what I'm talking about anyway).
The majority of the time what the argument really is underneath it all is Hipster Vs. Yuppie, that Manhattan is old and Brooklyn is new or Brooklyn is cutting edge and Manhattan is just funneling their new awesome energy. Whatever you want to call the fight they all sound like idiots. Hipsters are the new yuppies, deal with it.
Anyone who knows me has heard me complain about the schlep to Brooklyn. With the G train destined to go the way of the dodo at this rate I still have had both positive (seeing bands perform, great times with close friends) and negative (the morning walk of shame, being lost from not understanding their streets) experiences on my outings to Brooklyn. The architecture is gorgeous and there is a great feeling of New York history. When I was younger I was never opposed to the idea of living in Brooklyn in the future and I'm still not turned off by the idea.
Many memories from my youth are from when my mother would take us to Manhattan to embrace the beauty of The City though I am not jaded about it's darker side we all have come to understand. Frankly, I find myself in the city due to it's proximity and many of my friends live/work/go to school where Manhattan is the middle ground between our respectable towns. If I have to go through Manhattan to get to Brooklyn why not just stay in Manhattan to shorten the length of my trip and at the end of the day isn't that all that matters to us? Finding a place to hang out without having to take a 2 hour trip home from train switching and MTA detours at 3am. Ever since I was four I have been in love with New York and as I get older I can appreciate what the Beastie Boys are talking about (cause God knows if you're on a subway to Brooklyn you DON'T fall asleep). The differences of the boroughs should be appreciated and we all should join forces to create a greater New York the way God intended and to pick on Staten Island, the runt of the litter (just kidding- but not really that place is a hole).
So now every time you find yourself hating on another borough you should think about some poor bastard our age in Omaha sitting in his basement drinking wine coolers with his equally lame friends doing nothing. Would you rather live there? I didn't think so.

So, what else Internet? Been sitting/waiting/wishing...anyway
Seem to be doing nothing lately. The spring semester always brings less chances for people to get together. I'm growing progressively antsy doing the same routine week after week. But I'm not really trying that hard to make plans since it's become futile. Trying to take more of an effort in school to bring my GPA up and really pushing on the business (getting sick of struggling) I'm actually studying and putting myself more into the gym. Though I'd love to get away or even move. I used to have dreams of moving (still do) but we'll see I even have a list of places that add cities to every year. God knows that my former plan for a semester abroad has gone out the window.
What's really disappointing is I haven't been keeping up with music like I used to. Since I got my record player at my graduation I have yet to buy any vinyl. It makes me sad. I have my mom's old stuff like all the Beatles, Stones, The Boss, etc. but I want my own records. I shall go on the hunt this summer for it. No time now. I really want to expand my own personal collection.
I'm really excited to go see Marina and the Diamonds in March. She's finally coming here (crazy welsh woman) and is going to be in Brooklyn and the City. I think I'll go to the BK show but I have to see what works out. I also have to get my ticket. Haha, it would help. I really like the album- too bad it hasn't released yet in the U.S. I'd be on that vinyl like a fat kid on a cupcake.
Going with my brother's girlfriend to the cake tasting on Sunday so I have cake to look forward to and my mom finally got a dress for the wedding (thank god) now to only convince her to get "real" shoes.
This is nonsense. I rarely update this thing though for good reason- no one reads it and I have nothing to say.
