Hello LJ I have missed you!!! *hugs lj*


I haven't had a chance to post because I started this new job and it's kinda kicking my butt. It's only been two weeks and I already hate it. I know jobs are difficult especially when your forst starting out but this is jsut extra. All the bossese have been super nice. It's all very suspect to be honest; now I know why they were being so nice. I find out that the guy who was working at my desk before me never did any paper work so I have no idea where anything is. To make matters worse some of the bosses caome asking em about stuff and I have no idea about where to look for it. The messed up thing is the bosses knew that and they never fired him even though paperwork is a big part of the job. Hmmmm...so basically they knew I was walking into this huge mess and said nothing. I got no fair warning about just how royaly fucked I am.

SO I'm already looking for another job. Wish me luck.

You know it really is a shame when your next door neighbor's kid asks you when you are going to have a baby? The little boy asked me that today... his mom and I are the same age and she already has him and his little sister. Plus all her friends have kids. Such is the state of things that it weird for me to have made it all the way to 25 without getting pregnant. When did being young and pregnant become the norm? I'm not knocking anyone who has kids who is the same age or younger the me...things happen, but I swear when I tell a guy I don't have kids he's more surprised by that than anything else I could say. Hmmmm...interesting.

There was also this very interesting discussion I was having with a few friends of mine. We were talking about the idea of nontraditional relationship. Let's face it, there are just as many girls who don't want to get married as there are that do. It seems like the idea of marriage scares a lot of people or people just don't want to make that kind of commitment. I read that more couples are content to live with each other and do the who family thing without actually ever getting married. I swear the best relationship I know of is the one between my best friend and her "husband". They are not married, but they live together and they have hardly any problems.

Personally I'm not a big fan of marriage, but that just based on what I have seen in life so far. My aunts, uncles, hell even my own parents have all been married for at least 20 and each of this couples seem to absolutely despise each other. I can't help but think that the way my aunts and my mother are treated by the men in their lives has made me very wary and distrustful of the opposite sex. And if there is one thing I cant stand is for a woman to make excuses for why her man has done such and such. People make mistakes, but just because you say "he's a man,that's what they do" doesn't absolve what was done. I know that attitude might be because of the generation gap. After all my mom is in her 50's and my aunts are either late 40's early 50's and when they were coming up women were dependent upon men for a lot more then they are now, but come on. It seems slightly demeaning to one's self respect to allow yourself to be treated like a doormat. I'm not married but it seems to me that if someone loves me enough to want marry me they aren't going to treat me like crap.

The whole thing just make me a little upset. After all the men of my own race seem destined to be underachievers. What kind of pickings does that leave for me and my girlfriends. serious on the day of my graduation there were 900 people graduating total and only 200 of them where males; the other 700 females. that is just truly dire.

On a funny note: This morning I'm on the train with my mother and I'm totally eavesdropping on this conversation between this girl and guy who are probably around 17-18 years old. Technically they were standing right over me so it was almost impossible to not hear them. So the boy mentions that his sister's birthday is this week and she'll be 25; to which the girl replied "oh my god, that is so old!" The the boy say "yeah I know" like the idea of being 25 is so offputting and unthinkable. I'm due to be 25 a few months and I dont think I'm old by any strech of the imagination, but the way these kids were talking it was like 25 is way past anyones prime and I should just put myself out of our misery. LOL. I just found that too funny.

I came across this video of Jerry O'Connell doing a perfect impersonation of Tom Cruise's video. It is so funny that I had to post the link on my LJ. Tom Cruise came out with this really weird Scientology tape and the response to it has been varied. Jerry even has his hair combed like Tom in the video and the whole time he's talking the MI theme is playing in the background.

Believe me I have nothing against Tom Cruise or his religion but it's getting to be a little much. Everyone has a right to believe whatever they believe, but not at the expense of pointing fingers and saying everything to the contrary is wrong. He is coming at the public with so much of this stuff it's getting to the point where it's impossible for many to take it seriously. Then he's like a crazed lunatic when he's "preaching" that it comes off like ranting. Then in between speaking Tom is laughing like such a maniacal villain that I'm starting to think that something may not be quite right with him.
