Refreshing to see folks still talking shit. Anyone who wants more Michelle can follow me on Facebook. My name there is Michelle Angelina and the profile pic is of Jasmyne. All of you haters and your "proof" can kiss my fat white ass. My baby is better taken care of than any of you were by your mommies. :)Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06750255411962184420noreply@blogger.com45tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069370851055279753.post-12280243694704528882010-04-18T23:39:00.003-04:002010-04-18T23:51:12.770-04:00picking on someone at her intellectual levelHad a party this weekend. It's nice to have friends my age, and a boyfriend my age who is fucking awesome, and a sweet little girl to entertain me and make me smile all day. I think the best part of a new relationship is that there aren't any arguments at all. None of that "why the hell did I get with him?" thinking, nothing to fight about at all, just happy faces and sexy bodies. And Jazzie likes him a lot, asks "where's Oz?" when he's not around. <br /><br />But her favorite person besides me (and I know he's gonna read this eventually) is Rick. Jazzie was running all day long with only a 20 minute nap and some blueberries and raisins for fuel, and she was laying on the floor with her thumb in her mouth looking up at me. Just tired as all hell. Then Rick showed up because he left something at my place, and I told her "Rick is outside." She jumped up from the floor onto her feet and dashed towards the door, screaming "RICK! RICK! RICK!" She made it all the way through the wood chips, the sidewalk, and the wet grass barefoot just to say "hi Rick!" and wave at him when he left. If you are reading this dude, feel special. That baby fucking LOVES you.<br /><br />I really am enjoying my life right now and all the haters can't stop that. Well, there's really only one hater but she couldn't find this website if I gave her the link and bookmarked it for her because she's too stupid to live (and fat). Yes, I'm referring to M3L!SSA!! the crazy ex-neighbor. She moved away, but she's still doing silly things like texting me the entire time I was in class talking about how my boyfriend is going to a car and bike show with her in Miami this weekend because he hates me and loves her. He basically hasn't left my sight since Thursday night, and I've asked her a couple of times if she and Oz are enjoying the car and bike show that they went to together. She responded by insulting my 18 month old on Facebook. I guess she's picking on someone at her intellectual level so I can't be too hard on her. Plus, it must suck to lose at everything you do and look like she does. If she doesn't leave me alone, I'm gonna toss her a link to this blog so that she can leave hater comments and all my readers (both of them) can see how much she sucks and maybe even dislike her as well.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06750255411962184420noreply@blogger.com33tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069370851055279753.post-71964569337206087792010-04-15T08:42:00.004-04:002010-04-15T08:43:41.565-04:00TEA PARTYTax Day Tea Party today!

I actually weigh about 137 pounds, which is lame. I've been eating mostly vegetables like broccoli, brussels sprouts, spinach and lettuce, celery, cucumber, cabbage, radishes, spaghetti squash, carrots, and the like. I think all the green shit is messing up my stomach though. Sucks. I really love salads (every day it's what I eat for breakfast and lunch) but I only will eat protein-filled salads with crunchies. My typical salad has lettuce, spinach, celery, carrots, cucumber, brussels sprouts, broccoli, hard boiled eggs, chicken, bacon, cheese, and sliced toasted almonds. With all that stuff on there I don't need but a tiny drop or so of dressing, which I can make myself.<br /><br />I have two weeks off from school! WTF am I supposed to do with myself and my kid during that time? I can't wait to get back and have something to do during the day. Right now I just smoke a lot, play outside or at the park, and go to Publix often to make some new healthful food. Bored to shit.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06750255411962184420noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069370851055279753.post-64728559191220612702010-03-14T09:04:00.003-04:002010-03-14T14:17:21.329-04:00rich people foodSo, this guy's ex girlfriend is completely insane. But more than just insane. I can also add the following descriptive adjectives: stupid, immature, mean, petty, jealous, fat, ugly, spiteful, malevolent (that one she probably wouldn't understand), rude, cowardly, a liar, full of shit, stupid, throws temper tantrums like a toddler, inattentive as a mother, fat, compulsive eater, dirty, smelly, never cleans, STUPID, IMMATURE, middle school mentality, cop-caller, and more than anything else a LIAR. I was gonna write a list of offenses, both large and small, that this little girl (21 years old) has committed in the time that I've known her. Keep in mind that not all of these things are that bad on their own, but they do put together a personality profile that is quite unflattering:<br /><br />-She lies constantly- about small things that don't matter (such as her daughter walked at 8 months and that she went to the emergency room for a rash), about bizarre things in an attempt for sympathy (such as she got into a car accident and hurt a newborn baby out of her car seat, and that she has severe scoliosis), and damaging lies about other people (those will be listed seperately).<br />-She types her name like this M3L!SSA!!<br />-She has a new "love of her life with him forever" ever couple of weeks or so (they always dump her every couple of weeks is why).<br />-She dated a Jewish guy who was basically Jamie Kennedy's character from Malibu's Most Wanted (I called him B-Rad, he actually would snap his fingers in the air and yell "daaaaaaaaamn nigga dat's mah jam!" when the new T-Pain or whatever song came on top 40 radio).<br />-She called the police on her other ex (the one I am sorta kinda with now) for beating her, which he never did.<br />-She told a friend's boyfriend that the friend had been sucking a black dude's dick in the back seat of a car, causing boyfriend to break up with her since boyfriend had never met M3L!SSA! and had no way of knowing how incredibly full of shit she is.<br />-She constantly text messages and talks to guys on myspace instead of watching her 2-year-old daughter, and then makes empty threats to slap her and put her to bed when she demands attention.<br />-She is fat (5'1 over 200 pounds), eats nothing but junk food, and is ugly.<br />-She never cleans her house (her live Christmas tree finally went out in March) and it smells awful in there, also doesn't take much of a shower.<br />-She is loud and annoying.<br />-She is stupid and has absolutely no depth to her.<br />-She accused my brother of buying stolen pills (the pills were never stolen)<br />-she txt b0mbz me all dae wit txt msgz tht l00k lyk thys<br />-She throws temper tantrums like a 4-year-old.<br />-She calls the police on anyone who says anything to her.<br />-She called my daughter fat, stupid, and ugly on text messages but is too cowardly to say anything to my face.<br />-She is delusional to the point where seeing her ex in the mall (he didn't see her) means that the two of them must be getting back together.<br />-She is desperate for a man, and desperation is ugly.<br />-She makes the lip-pursed dick sucking fish face in all of her myspace photos, which are mostly taken in the bathroom.<br />-She threatened to call the police and DCF on me for stealing pills (the ones I supposedly sold to my brother) and shooting heroin, stating that "the cops will believe me when they see your tracks."<br />-She comes into my house, eats all my food, leaves the dirty dishes laying out, leaves my kid's food laying out because her kid won't eat anything but McDonalds and when her kid says no she won't bother to put the food away and it goes bad, and then gets on my laptop and makes me watch both kids.<br />-She makes little comments about how fat my daughter is (the pot calling the kettle black, at least my kid is fat from blueberries and multi-grain bagels instead of Oreos and Happy Meals).<br />-She sends her mom (who is just as crazy as she is) to my house at 1030pm screaming about stolen pills.<br />-She drives unsafely and doesn't buckle her toddler into a car seat ever.<br />-She takes one sip of one beer and uses it as an excuse to act like a piece of shit all night because "I'M SOOOO DRUNK!!!!!"<br />-She pretends to do drugs to look cool in front of people.<br />-She threatened to get my daughter taken away over lies.<br />-She sends text messages revealing her hand: "if you keep messing with oz i will call dcf and tell them you're shooting heroin" and "see jon again and i'll call the cops". Incriminating evidence, anyone?<br />-She showed up at my house at 1130pm asking "is oz there?" banging on my door.<br /><br />There is tons more, but that's enough for now. Threatening my daughter was her biggest mistake, because I don't fuck around when it comes to baby Jasmyne. I did something that I've never done before- I went to the police. With all the threats (on text message, easily provable) about false reports to DCF, I wanted to have it written down in an official report so that anything she says to DCF will immediately be colored as the lie that it is. I went to the police station and filed a report for verbal harassment and threats of false allegations to authorities. Did you know that filing a fictional abuse report is a felony? Long story short, we now have a no-contact order and cannot see each other, call or text. I won't shed a tear over that tragedy. Sucks that our kids can't hang out, but that crazy ass little girl (I mean the mother, not the baby, I would never talk shit about a baby because I'm not like her) is just too fucking much to deal with.<br /><br />So yesterday, after the police station, I went to my school to work at this:<br />http://www.americanfinewinecompetition.com/<br />It was an enormously overly fancy wine and food gala to benefit Haiti relief. I know, I know, what a hypocrite. I don't give a flying rat's ass about Haiti, but what fun it was! Being the students, we were just waiters and wine pourers and table busers and plate prep. But the money was good, the people were good, I had such a great time and it was a good learning/networking opportunity. I do have a stomachache from all the rich people food, and it was also funny to see how sloshed the rich folks got off the overpriced bottles of prize-winning wine.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06750255411962184420noreply@blogger.com16tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069370851055279753.post-39838352614825770832010-02-27T20:49:00.001-05:002010-02-27T20:54:33.198-05:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAtFIWTeClNXRx2wYlQq8gw5dCqjRvlyA9YR_0Ljmf9tGzRtrgMFLKE9Tl_ThPiieOyvAn-i_5F9UuTAyY3PwBVCoQg5OL6iHoHx9XQLpgPvH5q_A_H2if4fA0E8WzCy88R6t4vOJjsiBa/s1600-h/HPIM1950.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAtFIWTeClNXRx2wYlQq8gw5dCqjRvlyA9YR_0Ljmf9tGzRtrgMFLKE9Tl_ThPiieOyvAn-i_5F9UuTAyY3PwBVCoQg5OL6iHoHx9XQLpgPvH5q_A_H2if4fA0E8WzCy88R6t4vOJjsiBa/s400/HPIM1950.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5443106324404148722" /></a>Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06750255411962184420noreply@blogger.com18tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069370851055279753.post-86467969357829750112010-02-27T12:54:00.002-05:002010-02-27T12:57:52.374-05:00so excited!The guy is getting out of jail tomorrow and coming to see me! I'm so excited! He sent me the sappiest card (late valentines day thing, ugh) and said he's coming over around noon.<br /><br />Jasmyne put on one of my chef hats and ran around the house. I got pics, but my pic uploader is being silly so when I get em uploaded I'll post. Also some new pics of me, looking sexy and slim at 130 pounds :) I can even fit into my pre-baby size 6 jeans which is awesome.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06750255411962184420noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069370851055279753.post-80018311487990260222010-02-24T23:57:00.001-05:002010-02-25T00:07:20.647-05:00mine are, well, MINESo, I finished my report about cilantro and coriander. I just finished it half an hour ago in fact, which is pretty funny because it's due tomorrow and I've had 4 weeks to do it. I find I work better under pressure. Part of the report is an original recipe using our chosen herb or spice, and we get bonus points for bringing in a sample of said recipe. Since this is a culinary school for cooking enthusiasts who want to go pro, it's not really bonus points for bringing in the food. It's actually just points taken off if you decide to be an idiot. I made some bomb-ass chicken and black bean enchiladas, and shall post the recipe at the end of this post. I realize that chicken and black bean enchiladas have been done before, but mine are, well, MINE. I can't wait for school tomorrow, to try all the different foods that are being brought in.<br /><br />I think I'm finally kicking this cold! Or bronchitis, or whatever it is. I have an asthma inhaler (prescribed) that really, really, REALLY helps especially now that I'm out of the cough syrup. I'm probably going to go over to my neighbor's house (not the one who lies all the time, but another neighbor who is awesome) to see her first tattoo that she just got. I love tats. My next one will be Jasmyne's name, right above a rose I have on my right ankle.<br /><br />To address a comment I received: why should I "settle" for a guy with a criminal record? First off, why should a guy without a criminal record "settle" for a girl with 3 felony convictions and countless misdemeanors? Also, a relationship is better if the people involved in it have something in common. This dude and I have tons in common, and he's someone I can just sit with and talk to for hours without either one of us getting bored. The sex is also good. What do I want a square dude for anyways? Not my style at all. And btw, I am going to school. Maybe not general ed college, but a school that will actually teach me something I can use to get a job. A good job, that pays money. I'd rather be a chef and making money all the time (no matter how bad the economy gets, folks still hafta eat) than a writer and starving to death my whole life.<br /><br />Chicken and black bean enchiladas<br />Yield: 5 enchiladas<br />½ pound dry black beans<br />2 tsp onion powder<br />1 bay leaf<br />1 tbsp olive oil<br />½ large onion, diced<br />1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast, cut into strips<br />taco seasoning*<br />1 tomato, diced and seeded<br />1 jalapeno pepper, diced<br />2 large slices red bell pepper, diced<br />2 scallions, diced<br />4-5 cilantro leaves, coarsely chopped and divided<br />3 tbsp fresh lime juice, divided<br />1-3 drops Tabasco sauce<br />5 flat, round, whole-grain tortillas<br />3c freshly grated colby jack cheese<br />salt and black pepper to taste<br /><br />*for taco seasoning, ½ packet of commercial seasoning can be used, or the following can be combined in a small bowl:<br /><br />1 tbsp all-purpose flour<br />1 tsp kosher salt<br />1 tsp white sugar<br />½ tsp paprika<br />½ tsp onion powder<br />½ tsp cumin<br />½ tsp chili powder<br />½ tsp garlic powder<br />½ tsp oregano<br />¼ tsp parsley<br />crushed red pepper flakes (to taste)<br /><br />1)Sort and soak the dry beans according to package directions (quick soak or overnight). Drain beans and refill pot with water, salt, onion powder, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium and simmer until tender, about 1-2 hours. Drain beans and set aside, reserving about 3/4c of the cooking liquid.<br />2)Line a cookie sheet with foil and preheat oven to 350F.<br />3)Heat a sautoir with olive oil and saute the diced onion until translucent. Add chicken strips and saute until fully cooked, then set aside and allow to cool.<br />4)While chicken is cooling, combine tomato, jalapeno, red bell pepper, scallions, 2 cilantro leaves, 1 tsbp lime juice, Tabasco, and kosher salt (to taste) to make fresh salsa.<br />5)Shred chicken with fingers and return to sautoir, setting the heat to low.<br />6)Add taco seasoning and ¼c water to the chicken, stirring until liquid is mostly absorbed. Add cooked beans, fresh salsa, 2 tbsp lime juice, and enough of the reserved bean-cooking liquid to moisten mixture. Heat through, then remove from heat.<br />7)Lay a tortilla down on the prepared cookie sheet and spoon chicken-bean-salsa mixture into the center in a straight line. Roll up the tortilla into a tube and place on one side of cookie sheet. Repeat this process with the other 4 tortillas.<br />8)Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each enchilada with olive oil.<br />9)Top with shredded cheese and 2-3 cilantro leaves. Bake at 350F until cheese is melted and golden, serve immediately.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06750255411962184420noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069370851055279753.post-26109224178555355152010-02-22T21:49:00.003-05:002010-02-22T22:04:19.749-05:00anyone can lie and cops are pricksSo, they switched our groups at school and I am now working with someone who doesn't know his asshole from his elbow. He couldn't even wash the dishes, just stacked em under the table and stood there while we attempted to make food. Lame. He's gonna drag down my average, and I'm almost at an A (89% at the moment). Tomorrow's quiz and my cilantro report/recipe should bring my score up to an A no question.<br /><br />And yeah, I was catching a buzz off the hydromet. So? I'm out of it, and I'm still taking care of my business instead of going out to the hood to cop one more fix. All of that "addicts are addicts forever and can never use anything because one is too many and the drug causes all the compulsion to come back" crap is just crap. I can get high without acting like an asshole about it, I'm not some sort of diseased cripple. And btw I don't care what anyone was arrested for, anyone can lie and cops are pricks. I only care what people actually did. For example, if someone shot someone and then got arrested for pot, I'd avoid them way more than the person who got arrested for domestic violence without actually doing the crime. Living next door to an oxy addict? She's not an oxy addict, she's a liar who doesn't even do pills. It's just another layer of the facade.<br /><br />Naomi- congrats to your sister for the new baby. They are so loud and obnoxious when they are born, no?<br /><br />I miss my kid so much during the week, I only get to see her in the mornings and then I get home at 6pm and she goes to bed an hour and a half later. Fri-Sat-Sun is the only real quality time I get to spend with her, can't wait until the weekend.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06750255411962184420noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069370851055279753.post-7044277824191092302010-02-21T12:51:00.002-05:002010-02-21T13:31:11.433-05:00finally, right? wtf?Been busy, not really too busy to update. Just too lazy. Whatever, not like I'm getting paid for this or anything. Plus I have shit to do all weekend.<br /><br />So, I started culinary school. I go 4 days a week in the afternoons, and Jazzie goes to daycare. She picks up every cold and every flu and every virus and gives it to me. I then can't even attend class without hydromet cough syrup so I end up with a bottle of that a month (and I might need another for Monday) because I will get thrown out of class for coughing. Lame. It works really well though. School is awesome. I love to play around with recipes in that enormous well-stocked kitchen, with their Meyer lemons and Hungarian paprika and 5000-year-old pink Himalayan mountain salt. Everyone at my entire school smokes pot, which I think is hilarious. I think my chef does, and he's a Chinese man in his 60s. My chef (my teacher) is awesome, we make tons of delicious food and I love everything about school except the bus.<br /><br />I don't always have to take the bus, but since I don't get my stupid govt-issued driving permission slip until March (and even then, just the hardship license since it's been over a year since my non-driving felony conviction and I am almost eligible) I have to take it home from school often. It took me a while to figure out the best route from the school to my house. At first I was waiting 25 minutes for a connection, which was lame. Also that bus was just filled with smelly Haitians. Before anyone says "racism!" you gotta understand that I live in South Florida, filled with Haitians, and that no amount of sensitivity training in the world is gonna change the fact that these people constantly reek of fish, vinegar, and fetid garbage. I was waiting for my bus at [whatever] sitting on a divided bench, and an older Haitian man comes and sits right next to me. Not on the other side of the divider, not on one of the 3 empty nearby benches, but rubbing up against me so that his vinegar stank was touching my school clothes. Barf. He asked me what my name was, I said Leslie or Lola or something with an L. Then he asked if I was single. DOUBLE BARF! I told him I was married with three kids, which I figured was four problems too many to overcome. Then I got up and got the hell away from him. The smell was really bad. But other than Haitians, I don't mind the bus much. I don't really have to focus on anything like I do during the rest of my life, I can smoke at the bus stops, and now that I've figured out the proper route I don't have to smell any stinky people on my whole ride.<br /><br />My daughter is awesome. She's almost 17 months now and not as chunky as she used to be. She walks by herself (kind of a penguin waddle, but fast), she goes to the potty every morning, she says sentences (example: "I drink it all"), she loves Dora the Explorer and Go Diego Go but hates Ni-Hao Kai-Lan (which is a pretty annoying show), she eats so many different delicious healthful foods, she puts her toys away when she's done, she loves to empty cabinets and drawers, she has tantrums all over the floor, she giggles when you touch her, she's afraid of guys and doctors, she loves to play with blocks, her favorite food is a cracker, she's still allergic to soy, and she's finally growing a little bit of hair!<br /><br />Words that Jazzie can say include, but are not limited to: mama, grandpa, abuela, ball, block, cracker, hi, hello, bye, no, mine, yeah, yum, dora, map, backpack, orange, color, walk, park, shoes, dog, woof, meow, bird, up, oh no, uh oh, cheese, bread, drink, juice, panda, want, shit, poop, boob, now, more, and tickle.<br /><br />Being clean is awesome. I got 2 years this month, by my rules of course. :) I don't do any of those bullshit meetings, but instead when I want to get high I man the fuck up and don't do it. That disease crap is all crap anyway.<br /><br />I met a dude. He's actually in jail at the moment, but he's awesome. I met him when he was dating my neighbor, and she called the cops on him and said that he was beating her. I don't believe for a second that he was beating her. My neighbor also said that a friend of ours stole $300 from her and held her daughters head underwater, and that someone broke in and took a safe containing $700, and that someone else got arrested for having dirty needles all over the apartment, and that she got in a car accident and told the cop she was on roxys and the paramedics did a scoliosis test to determine whether or not she needed to be prescribed roxys, and a host of other fantastic stories which throw her trustworthiness into question. So yeah, he didn't beat her. But he is really sexy and a lot like me (scary huh).<br /><br />Yesterday I went to the zoo with baby brother (who is here for the weekend) and our friend Rick and Jazzie of course. Jazzie loves to walk around the zoo and mimic all the animal noises. We had lunch at the overpriced zoo cafeteria, where I discovered that my kid won't eat french fries or chicken nuggets. Won't even TRY french fries or chicken nuggets, or for that matter hot dogs either. She wanted her yogurt, raisins, blueberries and pieces of cheddar cheese. I guess I've done a good job feeding her healthy, but she wouldn't even taste a french fry. What kind of a weird toddler?<br /><br />I wanted to do this sort of general update so that I could update my boring daily stuff more often.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06750255411962184420noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069370851055279753.post-13717990848525328422009-12-26T15:06:00.002-05:002009-12-26T15:08:56.829-05:00Merry ChristmasI'll be on my NEW laptop pretty soon and then I'll actually update, but here's this quick tidbit: Merry Christmas, me and Jazzie had a great one, she is spoiled rotten with piles and piles of toys and books and stuff in general. I made a cake for Christmas Eve and it actually didn't stick or burn or fall apart or anything, my butter frosting was awesome too. I start school pretty soon (already did orientation) and my daughter goes to daycare for the first time next week (probably the 28th). Fun for everyone.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06750255411962184420noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069370851055279753.post-83156773093014196712009-11-07T08:29:00.008-05:002009-11-07T12:26:25.034-05:00they don't see the irony in this AT ALL<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq8FnyslBjLslzbNz76WVeXEwYr0HVQGofglg_dz_Dsx1-vrE_RtjTqzDC9L2w-hUB5YkjRluBUKjAJxsFa2DULgD6NeS2cTIRSXKcGX-Iy6GKcMYSJpmbS8fIneNCRrMZPqOj5Lc1Al4o/s1600-h/Picture+063.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq8FnyslBjLslzbNz76WVeXEwYr0HVQGofglg_dz_Dsx1-vrE_RtjTqzDC9L2w-hUB5YkjRluBUKjAJxsFa2DULgD6NeS2cTIRSXKcGX-Iy6GKcMYSJpmbS8fIneNCRrMZPqOj5Lc1Al4o/s400/Picture+063.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401362513048384274" border="0" /></a><br />Hey friends, stalkers, and assholes- I am now on myspace. I don't really know if I like it or not, but I figured I was the only American non-Amish under the age of 25 who didn't have a myspace, so I signed up. The url is www.myspace.com/floridashelley if anyone gives a crap.<br /><br />I've decided what I want to do for a career, and that's cooking. Because of Jazzie's soy allergy I've had to be really creative in making food, since I can't go out to eat. It used to annoy me that I couldn't eat anything at any restaurant, but now I really enjoy going over menus and figuring out how to make the menu items tastier, healthier, and soy free. I'm making up my own recipes too, and trying them out. Jazzie loves to eat new foods (well, until a couple days ago because she's been pretty sick, barfing and shitting all over the place, she's finally getting better) so she enjoys it, and I love the complicated stressful running around multitasking chaos that is making a really complicated meal from scratch.<br /><br />So in January, I'm going to the Florida Culinary Institute. When I was having my admissions interview, they asked for a copy of my high school diploma which I have. Imagine my surprise when I learned that the shitty boarding school I was forced in (and kept there with force) was not accredited by anything other than the guy running it. I did 3 1/2 years in high school, graduated and got a diploma, and technically I'm a high school dropout because my diploma isn't worth the paper it's printed on. I took a test to show that I know how to say "where are you?" instead of "where you at?" and that I can add fractions and do long division, so I got in anyways. I want to take the GED though, not for school but just for me. But I got accepted and financial aid is taking care of me with a Pell grant and a couple of student loans, so I start college (well, vocational school) on January 4th.<br /><br />I'd go to school Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday in the afternoons. My mom will watch Jazzie Monday and Wednesday and then Tuesdays and Thursdays I'm gonna find a good day care for her. I need to find a day care that fits 3 qualifications:<br />1) close by (if my kid has an emergency, I don't want her to be in buttfuck egypt)<br />2) food allergy sensitive (don't give my kid crackers or apple juice)<br />3) cloth diapers ok (disposables cost too much damn $$$)<br />4) lets parents come in to see the babies whenever they want without an appt (nothing to hide)<br />5) lets me pay by the day and not by the week (I don't want to pay for 5 days and bring her in for only 2)<br />I think I might have found a place that fits all those qualifications but it's expensive. I'm going on Monday to check out their toddler class, where Jazzie would be.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj72-0o-9q8d3ixZXgiL6ZgV2_LkuFVI7azKlM-yz4EKvrgh1O50IRjiMI7a_GJR7BkQ9xXIaYBFkIjFsoC30nwB4JXB0fNssxmuo7IlK6eBT3G_jRp3u569fMQAnASKtF_w2aqw6tykowW/s1600-h/Picture+057.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj72-0o-9q8d3ixZXgiL6ZgV2_LkuFVI7azKlM-yz4EKvrgh1O50IRjiMI7a_GJR7BkQ9xXIaYBFkIjFsoC30nwB4JXB0fNssxmuo7IlK6eBT3G_jRp3u569fMQAnASKtF_w2aqw6tykowW/s400/Picture+057.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401356918782574354" border="0" /></a><br />Jazzie is such a big girl though, she loves to play with other babies and toys and crawl around screaming. She doesn't walk yet, but she says a lot of words and imitates everything. And she's growing so much hair! I bought her conditioner, although to be completely honest it's more wishful thinking than anything else.<br /><br />Wal-Mart stopped selling shorts for "the winter." Apparently their corporate warehouses or whatever ship the same clothes to ALL Wal-Marts for the different seasons. The problem is, that leaves folks in northern Montana wearing the same clothes in November that the folks in Miami wear in November. and I bet the temperatures are slightly different. Like today, it's over 80 degrees and it's not even 9am. What the fuck "winter" are they referring to? All I see in Wal-Mart is coats, jackets, sweatpants, long sleeves, etc. If I wore those clothes I would pass out in the street. Baby only owns 1 coat, and she's only worn it twice (and both times for less than 1 hour). It doesn't get cold out this way until January at least, and even that "cold" is 50 degrees at the chilliest and lasts for less than 3 weeks. Fucking "winter."<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ-a5AWepBLLqly2e0_GdXfK6mwERK56MLnC4H_rLnLSn7HS-YbgDjAa1mBb5K3f9h3LCZUcwmVygNtH3t-Gt0CyFg6gRcrQB_Qle3d3eYEse6JIvk0laxKy7yKPsV0Btv8Je8GTY_dTkj/s1600-h/Picture+055.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ-a5AWepBLLqly2e0_GdXfK6mwERK56MLnC4H_rLnLSn7HS-YbgDjAa1mBb5K3f9h3LCZUcwmVygNtH3t-Gt0CyFg6gRcrQB_Qle3d3eYEse6JIvk0laxKy7yKPsV0Btv8Je8GTY_dTkj/s400/Picture+055.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401356917688821218" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I hate, hate, hate, hate, hate Al-Anon. Bunch of whiny empty nest bitches who were magically told by Jesus that if they go to enough retarded meetings and pray hard enough, little Johnny will stop smoking weed and their husband will stop drinking and beating their ass every day. "Al-Anon, help! My family hates me! They have an expensive, time-consuming habit that alienates them from the rest of the family because they think they need it and put their habit first and foremost, and that's just totally wrong! Please Al-Anon, I'll pay your fees, I'll donate, I'll put money down for the expensive hotel room for the 3-5 conferences every year, I'll buy stuff to hawk at the stupid conventions, I'll go to a meeting every day, I'll acknowledge that I *NEED* these meetings, I'll ignore my family and put the program first and foremost, anything to stop my kid/husband from having an expensive, time-consuming habit that comes first and foremost and alienates them from the rest of the family because they think they need it!" And they don't see the irony in this AT ALL. It's also slightly ironic to spend 60% of your life devoted to a program that teaches you to live and let live, and how you can't change other people, and you need to work on yourself, etc, and the other 40% of your life 9 ft up someone's ass, pissing and moaning and telling them the way they need to be doing things. Fucking silly. I'd rather she was smoking herb, I bet it's cheaper and takes less time.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhufpwkz66cYriPcR_Dfx3iWSmjBZeaLQ9XgdMFoaZUAAYaLpos3BavnowF1Msb5cKacMNZwmLaYMOgNfqg1rYF0nkEUDcVM2AtuiGo-J4ESXwLWEA3dmdam_ahT1x9Wo4yMQ1970S-1laM/s1600-h/Picture+065.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhufpwkz66cYriPcR_Dfx3iWSmjBZeaLQ9XgdMFoaZUAAYaLpos3BavnowF1Msb5cKacMNZwmLaYMOgNfqg1rYF0nkEUDcVM2AtuiGo-J4ESXwLWEA3dmdam_ahT1x9Wo4yMQ1970S-1laM/s400/Picture+065.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401362517538127906" border="0" /></a><br />Halloween was fun, Jazzie dressed up like a boy (and she fooled everyone, ha ha ha). We went to the stupid mall and went trick or treating, but since Jazzie is allergic to all that candy (chocolate = soy and fruit candy = apple juice) I just made her safe brownies to eat when she got jealous of the chocolate eating other kids. She loves brownies, she just shoved em in her mouth saying "MMMMMMMMMMM" while attempting to swallow them whole.<br /><br />Jazzie has a new friend, this 2 year old girl named Celina, she's really cute and silly. Her folks are awesome too, and they live right down the street. :)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwbr3m4spYzVcLfymCDCHstY6Zu3fZ16QCAihIYpumNcNjYWUvfiNmtnMtegPk_xtrPuAIF2Mex_WiCkOqQy51zA5FzlUdNNMCowfqItTsfl9icVdiQBw_q7hcGEU1gIBNZnLuGEJ1UaE4/s1600-h/Picture+067.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 298px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwbr3m4spYzVcLfymCDCHstY6Zu3fZ16QCAihIYpumNcNjYWUvfiNmtnMtegPk_xtrPuAIF2Mex_WiCkOqQy51zA5FzlUdNNMCowfqItTsfl9icVdiQBw_q7hcGEU1gIBNZnLuGEJ1UaE4/s400/Picture+067.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5401362523214265442" border="0" /></a><br />I'm really excited about Thanksgiving.

Sixty-fucking-three! In South Florida, and in the middle of October. It's unheard of, especially since yesterday it was in the high 80s. Time to pull out my one and only hoodie, I suppose.<br /><br />The other night, I was walking through the neighborhood to the store to buy a box of disposable diapers for Jazzie (we use one disposable per day, all the rest cloth, so a box of 64 will last me until damnear Christmas) and there was a car parked blocking the sidewalk. I didn't want to stomp all over somebody's grass, so instead I walked down the driveway onto the street so I could get by. As I started walking my same path, a car pulled up behind me and stopped. I glanced back to make sure it wasn't a cop, saw a regular silver car with a woman sitting in it, and turned back around to walk but the silver car pulls up in front of me, blocking my way. The window goes down to reveal a large, ugly African-American woman, who looked very angry.<br /><br />"What were you doing in mah house?" she demands to know.<br /><br />Oh great, I thought. Now I gotta deal with some TNB.<br /><br />"What house?" I asked, knowing full well that I hadn't been in anybody's place but my own.<br /><br />"I seen you leavin' mah house, you walked right out the do', is mah husband home? Did he tell you dat he married?"<br /><br />Yep, I thought, TNB for fucking sure.<br /><br />"I wasn't in anybody's house, I'm just going to the store to buy diapers." I responded.<br /><br />"Bitch, I seen you leave mah house, I know you was wit my husband, walk over dere and see if mah husband is home."<br /><br />"Why the fuck should I? I didn't do shit," I responded, getting angrier at these baseless accusations. "I'm outta here."<br /><br />"Get back over here white girl!" she yells, and then lunges at me. She grabbed my hair and pulled hard. I was hot, but at the same time slightly amused at the fact that instead of fighting, we were clearly going to be bitch-fighting. I pushed her away, and she slapped me in the jaw and ear. I was really pissed at this point, so I started running my mouth.<br /><br />"I don't know your husband, but if I were him I'd be fucking anybody who wasn't your ugly ass," I yelled. Or something along those lines. Then she punched me in the mouth. I punched her in the throat and she steps back for a second, growls "whore" and comes at me again. This time I got her first, punching in the ribs. I was aiming for the solar plexus but missed, and my hand struck pretty harmlessly in her chest, and she went for the bitch-slap to the side of the face again.<br /><br />"Stupid nigger!" I yelled, throwing another punch to the solar plexus but actually hitting the mark this time. She had a hold of my hair but I pulled away as she tried to regain her wind. We were both rushing towards each other again when about 7-8 kids came running out of the house (you know, the house that I was having the alleged clandestine meeting with her husband) to break us up.<br /><br />"What's goin' on?" yelled one of the kids.<br /><br />"That crazy bitch was in mah house, she was wit mah man!" the ugly woman screamed.<br /><br />"You were in our house? How?" asked another kid, a boy maybe 11 or 12 years old. My guess is that the cherished husband was hanging out in the main room with all these kids during our supposed tryst.<br /><br />"I wasn't in anybody's fucking house, this dumb whore attacked me, apparently her husband likes little white girls, that's not my fucking fault," I responded angrily.<br /><br />"Just go," said the oldest kid, who looked about 16. So, I went.<br /><br />Looking back, I don't know which is more disgusting: the fact that that ugly groid was married or the idea of *shudder* banging the man that would marry that. Gross. So yeah, I can't walk down my own street without getting falsely accused and assaulted by some crazy black women who (for SOME reason) can't hold onto her man so she projects her ugly hatefulness onto any chick who looks better than her (and I'm not being egotistical either, a monkey's red ass looks better than her).<br /><br />And people wonder why I'm racist?Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06750255411962184420noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069370851055279753.post-81620766553481884812009-10-16T11:39:00.000-04:002009-10-16T11:40:19.688-04:00Jazzie loves Dora the Explorer<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-E6c6JVzqTE2GjHv2ijoZnvBCwxudjfTYu-vAy8Sr4eg9eYFs-QRn4lJL_UoQjE-1Woiz48aRHDKDEh7BzbpQ-8My0h6-4our1rwqlX63Ez0GGFSbgyu7MBAIcODYFDiuGxHP76ctyBqi/s1600-h/SnipeorNoSniping.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px;

Well you might have... you know, the giant KKK rally? Where "thousands" of "conservatives" marched on the Capitol in Washington DC to like, oppress black people and kill puppies and whatnot. What actually happened, was over a million Americans marched on the Capitol in Washington DC to protest socialism, health-care reform, Obama, his 32 czars, Nancy Pelosi, the media, and foreign aid. Well, I was there and I got pictures to prove it.<br /><br />Nothing could have been more fun than going to DC last week. I was at my parents house on Wednesday night, and we left on Thursday morning for a 7am flight, which Jazzie didn't much appreciate. We arrived at the airport at around 630am and realized that Jaz had peed through her entire outfit and onto my mom's shirt. I didn't even have an extra outfit in the carry-on bags, since she hasn't done that for months, so she went on the plane in just a shirt and her diaper cover. She didn't cry or whine or annoy anyone on the plane, she mostly slept and nursed and played quietly. We arrived at Reagan Airport in what is apparently Virginia at around 930am and jumped on the Metro to our hotel in downtown DC.<br /><br />We got to the hotel and were told that our rooms wouldn't be ready until around 3pm. Jaz ate some oatmeal and some raisins and Cheerios at the airport, but she was a little grumpy because she usually eats a whole bunch of fruit for her meals (watermelon, blueberries, bananas, grapes, mangoes, avocado, papaya, etc). So we dropped off our luggage with the hotel folks and walked the 20 blocks over to Whole Foods. She slept the whole way over in her stroller, and when she woke up we already had her food ready and baby felt a lot better after eating her normal stuff for lunch. On the way back to the hotel, we took a cab because we didn't want to walk 20 blocks back with big grocery bags which was exciting for Jazzie.<br /><br />We got tired of hanging out in the lobby, so I walked the stroller into Chinatown for no apparent reason. I learned that Newports were about ten bucks a pack in downtown DC, which is fucking sick, but I found a homeboy on the street selling Newport packs for $5. You can bet your ass I bought those. I got back to the hotel at 4pm (an hour after our room was supposed to be ready) and they told me it would be another 45 minutes. Hells to the no. I spit game until I got us different connecting rooms that were available immediately, and we went up to the 7th floor. Lucas showed up around 7pm and we went to eat at a nearby steakhouse but they had an "indefinite wait time" which was shit so we had to go to a sandwich shop instead. Jazzie had her food, but I can't eat at restaurants except for steak cooked in nothing and salad with no dressing (because of soy) so I didn't eat anything, figuring I'd figure out a way to have breakfast.<br /><br />That night after Jazzie went to sleep, Lucas and I went out in DC. We had a great time, and we did finally get something to eat. :) DC is a real city, and we wanted to enjoy our time in it. The next morning (September 11) I ate breakfast meats cooked in butter at the hotel restaurant. Bacon, ham, eggs, and cheese on Whole Foods bread, basically plaque on a whole-wheat bun. It was delicious and filled with protein. We went to the Smithsonian Institute and looked at the animals, which Jazzie really enjoyed and pointed at a lot.<br /><br />That night there were huge pre-Tea Party parties at the Hyatt, at our hotel, and in the streets. Lucas and I drank Long Island iced teas and talked to different people. We were compiling a list of all the different states that protesters were from, and the biggest group was from Florida (that we met) and then Ohio and Texas. Three of the necessary electoral states. :) :) The South in general was very well represented, but there were West Coasters and New Englanders as well. When I asked a Southerner what state they were from, they would scream it: "TEXAS!!" "ALABAMA!!" "TENNESSEE!!" "FLORIDA!!" but when you asked some of the others, they'd look down and whisper: "um, Massachusetts" "*cough* California *cough*" which I found pretty amusing. Another good night in the big city.<br /><br />The next morning we were there for the march at 9am. Folks were gathering up at Freedom Plaza earlier, but Jazzie had to eat her breakfast first. There were so many people there, and they were all smiling and happy and talking to each other and us. The signs that folks were holding up were often funny and creative, and in that whole crowd I didn't see one single sign that used the words "black" "Negro" or "nigger." I also didn't see any black folks there protesting, except for the ACORN counter-protesters. I'm glad that the ACORN folks were there, because they were exercising their first amendment rights same as the rest of us. I think the black folks who were there, protesting against Obama, that shows some real courage on their part- awesome for them.<br /><br />There was a helicopter overhead, so we started yelling at it "read the bill! read the bill!" but we were passing by a building with the first amendment written on the wall (ironically enough, the Museum of Journalism) so Lucas started chanting "read the wall! read the wall!" Of course, it's really easy to start a chant in a crowd like that so everyone quickly caught on. A woman with a loudspeaker was trying to read the text of the first amendment but signs were in the way, so I ran over to her and showed her my smaller sign which had it written. I think we accomplished a lot at that march.<br /><br />Here are some signs that I saw there that I didn't get any pictures of for one reason or another:<br />"I got tired of yelling at my TV so I came here"<br />"We are exercising our first amendment rights, but if that fails, there's always the second amendment."<br />"Bury Obamacare with Kennedy"<br />"Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than all of my guns"<br />"THIS time we came unarmed!"<br />"Okay, I'm here, now where's my check?"<br />"Where will Canadians go for their healthcare?"<br />(held by a man in an Obama mask) "It's not my fault, it was the previous administration"<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipnBCYXSBIZhLrLZ3nVQGYPn58_Kqj94uuCxK_osVr8gOj1Nk3k8QcQ68EgRUwcLSh50-2gYoiVuD4pbtH1KAL7KKbqixlqL7dCzZNDBHD8eKJWbzMk0Nz37HJS2-gmZn0AoKZLdjofV5K/s1600-h/rallysplash.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 315px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipnBCYXSBIZhLrLZ3nVQGYPn58_Kqj94uuCxK_osVr8gOj1Nk3k8QcQ68EgRUwcLSh50-2gYoiVuD4pbtH1KAL7KKbqixlqL7dCzZNDBHD8eKJWbzMk0Nz37HJS2-gmZn0AoKZLdjofV5K/s320/rallysplash.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5382791288763640226" border="0" /></a><br />Oh, and we actually cleaned up after ourselves too. :)Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06750255411962184420noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069370851055279753.post-18490488834253019112009-08-12T07:46:00.002-04:002009-08-12T07:48:16.497-04:00what I've been up to=I've been traveling a lot with baby and others and having a great time.

I am using <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">Firefox</span> now, no more shitty Internet Explorer! IE wouldn't let me upload my pictures, it just shut the picture folder every time I tried to upload anything from the folder to this blog or a message board or anything. Also it wouldn't let me log into <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">gmail</span> (I got 2 accounts and it wouldn't allow me into either) or play certain online games and AIM closes down while I'm talking and it froze up all the time- basically acted shitty all the time. Fuck Internet Explorer! No problems so far with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Firefox</span>. Silly name for a browser, but whatever. I'm not exactly a "computer person", I spend a lot of time online but it's mostly making money or writing or talking to other folks on message boards or chat rooms or AIM.<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Jasmyne</span> eats everything that I eat. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">Fettuccine</span> alfredo, chicken pot pie, macaroni and cheese, lasagna, spaghetti and meat sauce, pizza, chicken with rice, squash soup, guacamole, bagels with cream cheese, grilled cheese and pickle sandwiches, salmon fillets, everything. I'm so glad that she's not a picky eater, on top of all her damn allergies. She eats healthful food, and a hell of a lot of it. An average meal for her: macaroni with meat sauce, mushrooms and leeks, blueberries, cherries, avocado, little pieces of cheese, green beans, a banana, and some yogurt or cottage cheese. I think she eats more than me volume-wise, without allowing for proportion. It's nuts. I really love that big baby- she's about 20 pounds now (apparently she's slightly below average, weight-wise).<br /><br />I think Greg and I are broken up, but I'm not sure. He showed up past midnight, ranting and raving and telling me to wake up the baby which really pissed me off, especially in light of our discussion THAT SAME MORNING where I had told him to back off a little bit and not jump 9 feet up my ass. I told him to get the fuck out of my house because I'm not into that stupid jealous high-school shit. The next day I sent him an email saying that with much more detail, and he hasn't responded since. It's been over a week. If he hates me forever now, I want my fucking stroller back.<br /><br />Sobriety is grating on me, I'm so goddamn exhausted all the time (hep C?) no matter how much I sleep and it would make my life ever so much easier to get some ups. It's not worth it of course, baby Jaz is the most important thing and it needs to stay that way. Just sometimes it's fucking difficult. What I need to find is a young mother who shares my... interests. That would be just awesome.<br /><br />In closing, I really really really really really really hate Obama. He can't be stupid, you can't get elected president if you're stupid, so why does he do so much stupid shit? Cap-and-trade, to "create jobs" in industries we just don't have the technology for? "Oh, we don't want people to use any fossil fuels... or nuclear power, because that's evil... so we will tax the SHIT out of oil and gas until y'all use something else." But there isn't anything fucking else that's possible and affordable. If solar power or wind power was efficient, people would be making money in these industries. It isn't efficient, affordable, or really useful AT ALL. So the solution of course is to punish Americans for not having another choice in energy. Liberals in action. God I hate that man. Obongo the fucking asswipe.<br /></div></div>Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06750255411962184420noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069370851055279753.post-21752497651813585692009-07-04T07:28:00.005-04:002009-07-04T07:39:52.893-04:00when's the last time a new tax helped YOU?As if the new federal tobacco tax and ban on flavored tobacco and blunt-wraps wasn't enough of a pain in my ass, there is also a new state tax on cigarettes- an extra fucking dollar a pack. Jesus Harold Christ on a fucking rubber crutch. I paid $5.49 last night for a pack of Newports, and that really hurt. A year ago I bought 3 packs for 9 bucks. And if that store that I frequent is selling them for $5.49, that means the average asking price around here is up to around SEVEN BUCKS A PACK. It's disgusting. I'm gonna start rolling my own cigarettes, cause I don't want to quit smoking.<br /><br />My brother thinks that stuff like new taxes on cigarettes and cap-and-trade (which will raise gas and utility prices) are what will keep Obama from getting re-elected. People can hear him on TV talking about compassion and hope and say "awesome!" and they won't know that the national debt just went up another 3 trillion dollars because it doesn't affect them. Once these folks are paying more for cigarettes and gas, they will take notice. Why is it so expensive now? Because there's a new tax. That hits them where they live because it's not just a number on a piece of paper, it's THEIR money being spent more quickly. And then every time they hear Obama spitting game on TV, their brains will filter right past the bullshit and all they will hear is, "there's a new tax." If something good can come of this and we can at least get rid of that stupid socialist elitist black asshole in the White House, then cool.<br /><br />It's the Fourth of July which is awesome. We are going to the big tea party tonight at downtown which is awesome. It's gonna have all the people from the April 15th protest, plus all the people who just heard about it from their friends and family, plus all the people who are kicking themselves in the ass about missing the April one, plus all the curious people who want to see how big this movement really is, PLUS all the people who have gotten pissed the fuck off at Obongo since then. Tons of fun. Jazzie is gonna have so much fun, and just like last time I shall post pics.<br /><br />My birthday is day after tommorrow, then in a couple weeks my brother is turning 21 which is just the bees' knees because once he can sit at a bar and hang out, we have a place to kill time where we're not getting bit by mosquitos.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06750255411962184420noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069370851055279753.post-89966301138145793112009-06-27T11:04:00.002-04:002009-06-27T12:05:35.685-04:00"doing something" usually means City PlaceSouth fucking Florida man! No matter where I go, I still love it here, 95 degree weather and all. Last night my brother and I went downtown. In WPB if you don't do hard drugs, "doing something" usually means City Place. Lame, but this town is also pretty lame so what can you do. Anyway, City Place had no parking except the parking garage, which is expensive. It was Friday night, and there was some sort of weird foreign music playing and I guess a lot of people wanted to hear it. God only knows why though, it was in a strange language and the beat sounded scientifically formulated to incite the worst headache ever in anyone who walked past. Technoish bullshit, but with a whiny voice. Lawdy lawd.<br /><br />So, we drove back to Shithole Street (Clematis) and parked somewhere around there. Clematis was the original WPB downtown, but once City Place got built some stores on Clematis started to close down cuz they couldn't deal with the competition. Once stores closed down, scary homeless people started hanging around in front of the empty places, because there were no business owners to call the police. The more stores closed, the more scary homeless people came and the more scary homeless people came, the more stores closed. Now there's one white club, one black club, and an Irish pub left on the whole damn street. So it's a shithole.<br /><br />You'd think that we'd go to park there and realize "hey this place is a shithole! Filled with scary jolly African-Americans! Let's park in the parking garage!" But no, we wanted to save a couple bucks by being at the parking meter. Some dude had given be 35c for a Newport earlier in the night anyway so we just went ahead and parked right off Clematis, on one of them flower streets. We went to City Place and had about as much fun as there is to be had there when you have no money. Lucas got us lost twice- once in downtown and once on the way back from City Place. When we finally made it back (me saying "no, dude! It's fuckin THIS way!" and him not listening; the original prediction was that we'd be in the intercoastal inside of 15 minutes) we realized that parking in downtown was a bad idea- somebody had bashed one of the taillights in.<br /><br />At first we figured someone had pulled out wrong (we were parallel parked) and smashed it with his car. But that didn't make sense either, because it wasn't the driver-side taillight that was fucked, it was the one closest to the curb. It could have been a car that jumped onto the curb cause he was a dumbass and didn't know how to parallel park, but we started thinking that some asshole just smashed it in just for the hell of it. If that was true, there are three assumptions that can be made about the individual who did such a thing, in that specific area. We can pretty much assume that person is a) male b) young and c) black. Sure one or more of those COULD be wrong, but anyone honest knows it's not fucking likely.<br /><br />So the taillight still turned on (it's just the casing that's cracked and it's probably gonna cost a goddamn fortune) so we could drive home without fear of the police- well, no more than my normal fear any time I see a cop or cop car.

Summer laziness I guess. Okay, I've been traveling which is fun. South Florida is hot.... sickeningly hot. I do want to talk about television though. And since it's my blog, I can write about whatever I want.</div><br /><div>Being white-trash redneck southern trailer park blah blah blah (recently I was called a "white supremacist" which I thought was pretty fucking hilarious) it makes sense that I watch a lot of TV. A lot of it I watch on DVD because I'm either behind on the seasons or the show isn't on anymore at all. The series-type shows that I'm currently watching are: The Shield (I'd fuck the shit outta Vic Mackey), Weeds, Dollhouse, Dexter, Life, The Cleaner... and I think that's it. I probably missed one. The Shield is a great show with a very VERY disappointing ending, I just saw the series finale and it made me want to throw a rock at the TV. Lame. They had to kill Shane though, there wasn't another choice, but they didn't have to bone Vic and Ronnie like what happened. I am sad because not only is the show over (yes, I know it's been over forever but now it's over for me) but it ended in such a shitty way.</div><div> </div><div>The Cleaner is another show I just have to complain about. Basically, it's this ex-junkie who decides to make a career out of "helping people." He is hired by worried family and friends of drug addicts, who pay him tons of money to do whatever it takes to get these druggies clean. And he does whatever it takes- kidnapping, beating folks up for daring to try to run away, holding them against their will, cuffing or tying them up, stealing their clothes so they won't run away, dogpiling, injecting them with sedatives, switching out their drugs with something that will make them violently ill (also known as poisoning), turning their children against them, robbing them... anything. And he does this to non-violent adults for DARING to exercise their free will and getting high. The cops are, in order for the show to work, on his side. But he can say "I help people" all day long, that doesn't change what he is- a thug. And a thug who kidnaps and steals and poisons for money, which makes him a bagman. The Cleaner? The Fucking Bagman is what that show should be called.</div><div> </div><div>The worst part is that my mom actually thinks this bagman is justified in his actions! Because drugs are just so awful that if you get high, you deserve to have your life destroyed by a stranger. *rolls eyes* That's 12-step brainwashing bullshit right there on display, no turning back now. Then she talks shit about Vic Mackey from The Shield for being a violent piece of shit, but at least the folks that Mackey beat up were, ya know, bad guys! Murderers, gang members, rapists, kidnappers, child molesters, cartel employees. Shit on toast, I hate William Banks (the character from The Cleaner) but the show is still very interesting, and plus I like to see the next illegal atrocity he commits on some guy minding his own business with a rock pipe or whatever. Fucking asshole.</div><div> </div><div>Did I update my blog just to bitch about how much TV sucks? Yeah, I think I did. :) Oh well. I can say "from now on I will update more often" but that might be a lie, so I won't say it. Aren't those Jasmyne pics cute though?</div><div> </div><div>Jasmyne! She is so chubby, looks like a bowling ball with little arms and legs and a fat face right on top. Today she's 9 months old and 19 pounds. She likes to climb up on EVERYTHING, including a glass door (which I didn't think she'd be able to do, but boy was I wrong) and likes to practice taking steps while holding shit or while someone holds her hands. She loves food, not the jars anymore but real food like everyone else eats. I cut little pieces of whatever and she makes a big mess putting them in her mouth. Her favorite foods: cheese (any kind, even disgusting cottage cheese), mushrooms (especially with spaghetti sauce), sweet potatoes, raisins, bread with marmalade or cheese, pizza, prunes, and mango.</div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06750255411962184420noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069370851055279753.post-92073479302012346712009-06-06T13:10:00.002-04:002009-06-06T13:15:01.389-04:00real quickI went to Disneyworld and the baby had a great time. I will post pics soon. This is just a superquick update to let folks know that I have not given up on this blog. This weekend I'll start writing more regularly again. Also went other places too. Tons of fun. Lucas is staying the whole summer which is AWESOME!!!!!<br /><br />Real quick: A search helicopter chased us away from the heap, there was chocolately earthy goodness and a floor too dirty to put the baby on. She learned how to boing boing boing and there's another tooth which she uses to eat Cheerios and pieces of fruit and cheese. No more tenant at Greg's house. I hate Super Smash Bros but love Donkey Kong. We stay higher than a telephone wire. That's about it for now.<br /><br />Next up: pictures of Disneyworld!Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06750255411962184420noreply@blogger.com10
