SO!
Day 2 and Vix is in Ohio, doing who-knows-what...(Be Cool, Be Cool...)
So, I get up and see Jalu my barber for a shape-up.
I then came home and pressed my infamous "Priest" shirt that I've worn in previous sexual encounters...
2:30pm rolled on by and I stepped outta the door to head for work.
I stepped into the office flaunting my huge aviator Kanye West/Hunter S. Thompson mirror sunglasses and floored the co-workers by my entrance.
"Where did YOU come from?" someone asked.
In my best Morpheous impression I replied.
"It's not where I've BEEN, it's where I'm GOING, thereafter."
Work's still been light, but we got 20 boxes tuesday, that we've stretched a bit.
The chief planned to stretch it some more by sending us home at 8pm, but then asked for anyone who wanted to stay and I volunteered.
This new Merging-of-the-managers plan, having Scanning and Production managers work various 12, 4, and 6 hour blocks spread across shifts 1, 2 or 3 and cross-shifting both teams to become one unit is really becoming a pain in the ass. Distrust is slowly developing. The scanner fear that production is taking their jobs and production doesn't want anything to do with training us to work copier machines and stand on our feet for 8 hours.
The managers don't like only one of them working and manning two shifts at once. Walking from the left side of the office back to right side checking on both departments constantly...Working from 8am to 8pm, or 4pm to 12am, or 12am to 8am.
Everyone is getting wired, missing time with their kids and getting irritable.
Me and one other scanner stayed the full night while 3 production copy operators came over.
Midnight came and I Walked into the night.
REMIX is located in my old stomping grounds at the Bank of New York, near Park Place and City Hall.
I got down there at 1:00am. I stalked the entrance from a corner across the street. Waited a half hour as I saw lovely full figured ladies come in and out...
Took a deep breath and then got on line to go inside.
REMIX is an underground basement nightclub that's a bit of a broom closet. The DJ played all the latest club bangas. "I get money", "Crank Dat (Souja Boi)", "My Drink and my Two Step", "Buy you a Drink", "Let it Go", "Money in da Bank"...
Everyone was getting their dance on as I squeezed my way to the bar...
Once I got a seat, I was set. All the way near the end, I ordered a club soda and kept them coming...
I scanned the club felt comfortable among the crowd. No skinny, lanky punks, no paris hilton drama queens, jus regular people enjoying their size, and "Not-giving-a-damn, Yeah-I'm-wearing-That!" big girls in skin tight skirts and blouses with EVERYthing hanging out!
It would have been a feast for the eyes...if I wasn't thinking about, VIX.
As the music played on, the crowd got more packed and getting jostled while sitting became as routine as breathing. I took it in stride, "sure, feel free to cop-a-feel ladies...be my guest!"
The few highlights of the night were helping this guy get a chick's number by providing a pen (Jus call me "Hitch"!) and getting the attention of the bartender for a small lil shorty who could barely squeeze in.
One full figgas member did recognize me, a guy name keith who just been banned from the site after some chat-room drama with some haters. It made some news among the site a few weeks ago and we all thought he was set up.
Keith then went the corner where the bar ended and hung out with a group of ladies. I thought I recognized the organizer of the event who posted on the board and another member. I vaguely knew them but they weren't chat room regulars so I was too afraid to approach them.
A few ladies that sat next to me throughout the night gave me curious glances. I seem to have that sorta melancholy/nonchalant look on me when I go clubbing. I always get the "Are you Okay?, Alright? or even the occasional "Are you Alive?" question asked to me.
One lady sat next to me along with her 2 other friends further down.
She looked like she was dragged here kicking and screaming, she fiddled with her two-way for a bit, then looked up and noticed me.
"You look like you don't want to be here, EITHER" I joked, flashing my George Clooney grin.
That kinda threw her off from the usual jerk remark a regular guy would throw at her.
She kinda stared blankly, taking a bit too long on how to respond. Sizing me up, I guess.
Shy and hesitant, I decided to up the ante a bit...
"Tell, you what..." I yelled (You HAD to yell to get heard in there...)
"...You tell me what you HATE about men, and I'll play Devil's Advocate."
It's a nice way to start a conversation I made up...
Anything to get a chick talking about someone who done them wrong and give them a shoulder to cry on...
She actually smiled this time, but then got called away by her 2 friends as they moved towards the dance floor.
I turned my seat back to bar and said "Almost got 'er..."
I looked back at the bartender working on drinks. I counted her making 9 Long Island Iced Tea's making it the popular drink of the night.
I had a flashback of Brad Pitt in "Ocean's 11", him sitting at the bar sighing and the barkeep asks him "How's the game going?"...
"Longest hour of my life!" he yelled sarcastically back
But the he didn't hear Pitt and asked "What?"
Then Brad changed it and said "I'm running away with your wife!"
And the bartender jus gives him the thumbs up not paying attention...
Yeah, That's how I felt...Ol' Rusty (That was his name in the movie...yeah)
I stayed there listening to music and popping in seat till 3:30am then when a passage back to the exit presented itself, I was out.
Meh, it beat stewing at home, working the chatrooms and worrying about VIX.
I manage to get home by 4:30 and grabbed some zzz's at 5am.
2 days down...one more and it's over...
"A night at the REMIX"
"Detox"
The only way I'm going to make it this weekend is stay away from the network in it's entirely.I can't...read any threads, look at her profile, or her photo gallery or even hit the chat rooms or I'll lose it.
It's hasn't even been 24 hours and it's burning up inside me.
I feel like Cyclops in "X-Men:The Last Stand"...a broken shell of a man who lost the only girl he ever loved.
I have to tear myself away...
SO, I think it's time to reveal what's been eating away everything from my regular schedule the past 2 months...
I present to you...

"The Longest Yard"
It's 3:49am.
Vix is probably sleeping after packing her luggage for a morning flight to Philly.
She will be accompanied by someone on that flight.
When they arrive, they will rent a car, meet two other people and proceed to carpool to Ohio for a 3-day Meet & Greet gathering.
Her phone charger broke so we weren't able to talk, jus IM and even then...
The next 72 hours will be hell.
Words cannot describe what I'm feeling.
There are 3 movies I can't get outta my head.
"Eyes Wide Shut", "Unfaithful", and "A Perfect Murder"
God be with me.

"The 10-Day Birthday Celebration...a Review"
This year, turning 32 meant something and it was time to celebrate in style. So I decided to spread the festivities over a span of 10 days. And here's what I did...
MONDAY, the 17th - I ventured out to Weehawken, NJ to purchase a new Digital Camera. I got lost for awhile, but eventually found the guy, my new camera feels as heavy as a paperweight, takes FOUR freakin double A batteries, comes with a remote (For SPECIAL pics!) and a instruction manual the size of a college textbook! All in all, it seemed very worth the 40 bucks, especially since it probably went for 150 a few years ago.
TUESDAY, the 18th - I also saw PM Dawn perform live on MONDAY so that worked as an event for this day.
WEDNESDAY, the 19th - I went to Barnes and Noble to get the Latest Foxtrot book, "And when she opened the closet all the clothes were made of Polyester"
THURSDAY, the 20th - I went to the Dentist, That doesn't seem like much, but it's been a VERY long time since I've been, PLUS I have no insurance, this is a step in self-improvement.
FRIDAY, the 21st - I went to the movies and saw "Resident Evil:Extinction", great movie, went back to the Video Game elements similar to Part 1, but the ending was a bit over the top...plus there was a familiar feel of "Alien:Resurrection". I was also pissed that Ashanti only lasted 10 minutes into the damn thing!
SATURDAY, the 22nd - Went on a clothing shopping spree at Casual Men XL, brought 3 slacks and around 7 shirts!
SUNDAY, the 23rd - The eagles beat the everlovin' snot outta the Lions scoring 56 POINTS! I consider that an early B-Day gift!
MONDAY, the 24th - Bjork Concert at MSG, good seat, but really annoying audience members that kept going SOMEwhere and standing, one crazy ass chick sitting in front of me kept whipping her hair back and snapping at my arm!
TUESDAY, the 25th - Me and the fam, went Bowling at Harlem Lane, things started rough because Psycho-Lesbo-Sis brought on of Baby Girl's friends to tag along and it was supposed to be a family affair. LUCKILY, the teeny-bopper clerk got mezmerized by Lesbo-Sis throwing her hair back and charged us for 3 children, rather than 2. While playing, Sis shows off the advantages of working in central park...meeting celebrities! This chick has a picture in her camera phone of her and ASTON KUTCHER! ANYhoo...I bowled a dismal 48 the first game, then warmed up to a mediocre 72 after. The place was nice, I really wanna get into bowling on the regular, I just gotta get better at it!
WEDNESDAY, the 26th - "See Post Titled "Toys in Babeland" for this entry"
Which leads to Today...
and I'll probably do nothing. I finally made 500 hours, so I did the paperwork yesterday to become a permanent hire. When things get serious and mom takes her package from the job, I might consider working another part-time job to make ends meet. Bottom line, I like this job, it's comfortable, but it's not paying well and the work is fluctuating. However, if the work politics goes south, I'll roll no matter what. There are other factors at play that I have to consider (Like how to maintain a serious possible relationship when I'm barely paying the bills as it is...), all in all...it is what it is...
PEACE!

"Toys in Babeland"
I know...
You probably think I got this post title mixed up.
It's supposed to be Babes in Toyland, right?
Heh, heh...WRONG.
First off...I finally made my 500 hours at work. I received my formal offer for a permanent monday and instructed to bring some paperwork when I come in today.
But FIRST, I made a little stop.
I've been reading and exploring the erotic world online for awhile and I picked up something I've been curious about for awhile and decided on this birthday to be a lil impulsive.
I
Went
To
A
Sex Store!
That's right, in the heart of the East Village, off Delancey.
The Village Voice's "Best Store to buy a Sex Toy" in New York for 4 years in a row.
Babeland
And what exactly did I get?!?!
Wouldn't YOU like to know?...Hee Hee Hee...
All I'm saying that it has fringes AND it Vibrates.
and it rhymes with "WING".
Curiosity excites the cat.
Don't knock it till ya try it *wink*....Grrrrroooow!

"Here's some stuff I'm throwing against the wall!"
Okay, time for the quick hits of information to consider...
* Vix is MOVING to New York in November, so now her visit in October seems to be a bit of a waste and may be canceled.
* Joe is selling me his PS3, he's finally bored with it and for the umpteenth time I'm buying a hand-me-down advanced system from him at probably a crackhead price (Can we say $200?!?!?)
* I'm SO damn close to working my 500 hours at this job for this damn temp agency. Once I get to 500, I'll be hired officially by the company for a permanent position. The question is with the damn workload fluctuating and this cheap ass pay DO I REALLY wanna stay here?
* The company that MOM's been working for in the past 10 years has announced that it's up for sale. It's either looking for a buyer or has found one and transitions are in the making. At MOM's age she's not expected to be kept and is planning to take any severance package offered and try to find an easier job. This of course will affect how we somehow plan to continue to pay this skyrocketing rent.
* I'm turning 32 next Thursday...I jus don't know how to react to that statement.
* Despite our relationship, I'm starting to think I'm jus a phone whore for Vix considering we phone bone every sunday/monday morning. I think she's still feeling me, I'm jus feeling neglected as of late and don't wanna say anything to piss her off.
* I think I'm finally ready to reveal the network that's been taking up so much of my time away from this blog.
* Everyone knows how I feel about myspace (The Dark Side...) well HELL has officially frozen over because MOM, Sis, and even Baby Girl have talked me into making a Family page, I am so embarrassed and disgusted at the same time.
* I am totally scared shitless that FIRE5 has diabetes.
* I am going to the dentist for the first time in years because I'm afraid Vix may freak out about my teeth.
* I can't help but point out every time I go to a doctor in anticipation of something revolving a girl I'm dating (Sex, first meeting, etc, etc...), I seem to always get unique news.
* I sometimes wonder if it's all worth it...Love, work, family...
* I then take a look at a picture of Vix...and gather strength from it (Yep she's THAT HOT!)
* Vix's first name is the same as "New York" from "I Love New York" 1 & 2 on VH1 (Ha! do the research if you dare!)
* Vix adores guys who wear fitted hats, should I compromise myself and change into someone I'm not jus to appeal to her taste? Would I ask her to do the same?
* As someone turning 32, I feel I'm too damn old to be wearing a fitted, I mean, I can wear a plan 'ol baseball cap, but a fitted is "fitted" to your head size to be tight on your head and it's sorta a thug type fashion statement.
* I wanna hire someone to be my personal photographer for one day, jus spending the whole day taking pictures of me roaming around the city...
* Vix has judged me as being narcissistic because I believe that the cryptic messages she posts in the Message Board threads and on her Yahoo Status line are always about me, am I wrong?, am I paranoid?, and if they're not about me, why the hell is she thinking or talking about OTHER men from her past? And if they ARE why the hell won't she jus TELL me!??!?
* I really wish I was incapable of Falling in Love very quickly. I think it has to do with the fact that I'm a Libra.
I think I'm done for now...absorb and reflect on all this and give me your opinions.

"Heaven must have needed an angel..."
Woke up at 7am for the first time in a long time.
The funeral for Miss Robinson was today. It had been the second wake I've been to this year. Me and MOM got dressed, she was also taking our downstairs neighbor and life long-friend "Granny" Clem along.
Miss Robinson was well known in the building we all lived. Her apartment was on the 3rd floor. She was JOE's and his family's next door neighbor. Big Jenny was still living in the apartment and there might be a question of ownership changing hands so she decided not to tell most the tenants despite Miss Robinson's popularity.
CLEM is pushing the upper 80's herself and walks VERY slow so MOM decided to take a cab down to the funeral home while I hopped on a train.
When I emerged at 125th Street, I slowly made my way through the streets.
"Don't freak out if you see Opal..." I kept telling myself.
I put on my huge aviator mirror sunglasses when I arrived, took a breath and went in.
The first person I saw (who greeted me) was Opal's older brother, Claude. I was nearly eye-level with him which was scary since I could swear he could play Basketball when I looked up to him back in the day...
I gave him my condolences and asked if MOM arrived and he nodded to the next room.
I went inside the viewing room...
MOM and GRANNY were in the middle, sitting a few rows down, a couple and their young girl were in the front...
I took a seat behind mom as she passed me the Obituary. Miss Robinson was born on Christmas Day 1912, she raised 3 children who all passed before she did, she then raised and took care of 8 foster children over a 20 year period.
It turns out, that Big Jenny or rather Genny (named Geneva which was ALSO Miss Robinson's first name) was Miss Robinson's GRANDdaughter not daughther, making Claude, Little Jenny (actually named Jennifer) and Opal GREAT Grandchildren!
Wow, no one ever told us anything...I guess the age difference was vast to consider Big Genny one of the original children.
The three people in the front stood up, I winced for a second, then sighed when they turned...
It was Opal's aunt, Genny's sister...'Meenah (or Aminah apparently)...She smiled when she recognized me.
"Leslie, right?"
"Yeah."
"I remember you, you were jus a skinny lil boy...My, you got big!"
We exchanged a few words and they went back to where Claude was to welcome people.
A few more people came in as GRANNY and MOM talked...
There was no sign of Genny or Little Jenny or even Opal...the funeral was due to start at 10am, but I didn't plan to stay for it.
At 9:45, I said my good byes, walked up and paid my respects with one last look...
My eyes teared up, and I sighed to myself...
She was one of the closet things I had for a Grandmother...she loved children so much. Three children, three grands, 6 great-grands, and even 5 GREAT-great-grands, as well as nieces, nephews, and grands of those...and even those foster children...
I guess they needed a nanny up there...someone to look over the young ones that weren't meant to be.
Who knows, she may be even taking care of...never mind.
I managed to leave, but I eventually broke down and cried on train back home.
I didn't think Opal would be here that quickly, so I dodged a bullet today.
But if I know her, she will be coming, I will have to face her sooner or later...
and have that awkward "Padme/Anakin" moment from "Episode II"
"That's right, slugger...keep making jokes to yourself and comparing everything to the movies...you may have avoided the ghosts from your past today, but will come back to haunt you soon..."

Ya'll know I still LOVE and Worship "'Da Dawn" so I jumped at the chance to check 'em out at the Knitting Factory when I heard about it thursday.The showtime listed was 9pm, which there were a few opening acts, but the show really didn't start till 11.
Doc G. aka Doctor Giggles basically carried the show while Prince Be did the "Teddy Pendergrass"-thing performing while sitting on a chair (and eventually lying on the Floor!). It could have been Jet Lag or jus regular fatigue, the duo were jus in Houston last week and Doc. G was celebrating his 35th Birthday. They felt a lil homesick (Originally from growing up in Jersey) so they quickly booked this New York show with little notice.
Thus, the turnout was also light (no more than 30 people tops), good thing thou, the place is a broom closet as it is.
The set was full of classics and even new upcoming tracks (One sampling Tom-Tom Club's, "Genius of Love"). I had an early morning tomorrow, so around 10 to midnight, after 8 songs, I moved to the back and left.
The trains were a bit crazy and I managed to get home by 1am. It was nice treat to go out tonight, if I stayed home, I would have been furious watching the Eagles lose to the Redskins.
It's been an emotional rollercoaster...Vix, Miss Robinson, Opal, Concerts, My Birthday...
This year, I've decided to celebrate turning 32 in the next 10 days. Treating myself to certain pleasures and gifts each day!
I've traded up my Digital Camera (Which was acting up after getting a lil wet during a...*ahem* Shower photo shoot for Vix...) and got a HEAVY ass Toshiba PDR-4300 4.0 Megapixels and a cannon zoom lens.
The best thing bout this new one is, it has a REMOTE!...for those *Special* shots...
Tomorrow's the funeral, I have no idea what's gonna happen...I'm a frantic mess...
"No title can express the emotions of this post."
5:30am I was making Kool-Aid after a brief IM session with Vix.
I was thirsty, and I couldn't go to bed without a drink.
MOM got up to go to the bathroom, looked at me as if I was crazy, then stepped forward.
"Leslie, Big Jenny came upstairs today, Miss Robinson died."
She said it so fast, it took a second to register it...
I then dropped the ladle in the pitcher.
Miss Robinson took care of me the minute my mom brought me home from the hospital. From 10 months old till I was four, she was always there for me.
Her granddaughter, Opal...she was my first crush, my first experience with love...and my first heartbreak when she ran away from home...
MOM explained that the proceedings were on Tuesday, Wake and Funeral on the same day.
So soon, it wouldn't give time...
for HER to come back to the city? Come back from California...would it?
For years I feared this day...
That I would come face to face with that little girl that disappeared in the night...
Will she remember me?
Will she recognize me?
Opal's sister, Jenny (Little Jenny) reminds me of her everytime I see her.
It's scary how time has gone by.
Miss Robinson lived a good long life, I can't really morn for her rather be happy she's at a better place.
I wonder what's gonna happen Tuesday.

"Ali vs. Frazier"
To be honest, I don't think ANYthing like this has happened in Hip Hop History...When it comes to release dates, 9 times out of 10, one or the other headlining artist yields to give the other at least a week to shine...
I mean "Kingdom Come" by Jay-Z came out before Nas' "Hip Hop is Dead".
NEVER has two solid albums come out on the same day, with SO much at stake.
For those who don't watch MTV or have been living under a rock...
50 Cent (Idol to KimmyK's thug-in-training, Adam LOL, J/K) has promise to QUIT the game of Hip Hop if his latest album "Curtis" (50's real first name) doesn't sell more than Kanye West's "Graduation" in the first week.
Lotta people called 50's promise a publicity stunt to bring attention to himself, but think about it...
If there are a LOT of 50 cent HATERS out there, they might buy Kanye's album just out of spite. This could end up backfiring on 50's ass.
Credit-wise, Kanye has the better album, but people rarely support his music due to his ego and flack with the "George Bush doesn't care about Black People" thing.
To the rest of the world (outside of Hip Hop fans), it's the lesser of two evils...
Ya'll want your 10 year old kid in a doo-rag, shirtless throwing around bills singing "I get money, money I got!"
Or have him wearing pink polos with the collar turned up and big ass aviator shades standing up to his mom saying "Excuse me, were you saying something?, uh-un, CAN'T TELL ME NUNTHIN!!!"
ME, I went down to Borders and brought "Graduation" officially despite having the album 3 weeks earlier. My GOD it IS SO BANGING!!!!
I DO NOT dance, but something about "Flashing Lights" makes me almost want to dance, I love that song to death...
Whoever comes out, the people are the winners of this one, a rivalry this crazy can only bring out the best in each artist.
They really pushed this even at the VMA's this past weekend...
These two look like Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant in that match at Wrestlemania 3!
"Break ups to Make Ups..."
"All I'm saying is ever since this damn Meet and Greet, you've been different..."
"I'm just acting the way I always act, this is just a side of me you haven't seen 'cause you haven't know me very long."
"Okay, Okay, that maybe true but why all the animosity all of a sudden?"
"You jus incurred my wrath with your snide remarks that I didn't appreciate and is just seeing what it's like when you piss me off!...Look, I know you're not getting that much attention now, but that does NOT mean my feelings have changed, THEY ONLY change when you make an ASS outta yourself and start trippin'!"
*Silence*
"Leslie, look...I like you, I mean, I REALLY like you. I look at your pictures every day, I smile to myself thinking that you actually read the book...whenever I'm going thru the bullshit I'm going thru, I...I jus think about you...and I smile. And I feel a lil better, baby..."
"Wow..."
"Yeah,"
"That took a lot to admit, I appreciate it."
"So we GOOD, baby...we are SO GOOD, okay...stop trippin' Please."
"Okay."
"You know Britney really bombed tonight at the VMA's..."
"Really?, hmmm, I didn't even see it tonight, forgot it was on, damn."
"They'll show it a few zillion times don't worry...*yawns* *moans*...Imma turn off my TV and Computer, papi..."
"Ohh, I was jus admiring all the pics you have up on Photo Share...'specially that one of your ass..."
"YOU so NASTY!, why don't you jus save them, it's okay...I've enjoyed the naked pictures of you!"
"Oh, yeah?!?...and YOU calling me NASTY..."
"You are! Teasing me with that picture of you naked, holding the Baseball Bat right down the center, what up with that!?"
"Hey! you hide the twins jus as bad, So I don't wanna hear it! Wearing nothing but that white dress shirt, looking like something outta a Gap Commercial!"
*moans*, *stretches*, and *moans louder!*
"And THAT'S not helping either!"
*giggles*, "Yes it is..."
*Moans* and *Stretches*
"Mmmmm, so you good, now papi?"
"Mmmmm, yeah, I'm good, baby, I'm good..."
"What ya gonna think is gonna happen when I come up there and see you?"
"Oh, I dunno, we'll have to wait and see..."
*Whispers* "DO you think we're gonna have sex?"
"MMMMmmmmm, Maybe."
*moans* "I Think we are...."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah, I know you want it as bad as me, even more..."*Moans LOUD*
"WHADDA doin over there?!?!?"
Um, this a good place to stop if any...ya'll know what happened next!
"I'm just acting the way I always act, this is just a side of me you haven't seen 'cause you haven't know me very long."

"Ya gotta crawl before you can walk..."
It's official...I'm not reading the Message Boards anymore.
Well maybe I will, but I SWEAR I will NEVER reply to a post offering my opinion again.
When did I become Don Imus?
But who cares...
Me and Vix are picking up the pieces. Having a few brief, but informative IM's on Yahoo.
We haven't talked on the phone in a minute, I guess we seeing who's gonna call who first.
Despite all this...
Vix dropped a serious bomb on me yesterday...that may or may not affect our impending relationship in the future.
I can't say what it is, but it's big news.
Scary news.
The happiest fucking news I've heard since we started talking.
Take it easy, Geronimo...we still got a long way to go.
In the meantime, "Operation:Melvin Udall" is in effect, right now.
For those that never saw the movie, Melvin Udall was Jack Nicholson in the movie "As good as it gets". Jack plays this compulsive anti-social writer who falls for a waitress played by Helen Hunt, yadda yadda...
Their relationship gets a slow start, but the turning point is Jack's speech in the restaurant on a dinner date in which he confesses that since he's met her he's taking better care of himself.
"You make me want to be a better man."
It's a great line and a great movie. Not the type I'd see over and over again cuz it DOES push the envelope on the offensive, but hey, see it once and learn from it.
In short, VIX sorta has that effect on me.
When I think of her, it's like I can move mountains with one hand tied behind my back.
It's THAT serious.
I know I should jus be myself, but when we finally meet in October, I want her to see a Better Jet Black...
One that maybe lost 5 pounds...
that is eating a lil different that usual...
that MIGHT do a lil exercise...
See, you women have NO idea what you put us men thru!

"If you can "Huh?" you can hear..."
This has been such a bad week.
The workflow is sliding again. Along with the holiday (which meant jack to me cuz I have Mondays off already), we've had two early days due to limited work.
You remember that pic with all those boxes lined up? Well, there's a BIG ass empty space where they once was...
I could almost break dance in that area.
Meanwhile, this Ohio thing has really brought out an ugly side between Me and Vix.
I mean, sometimes we have these spats (the last was about the frequency of our Phone Boneing...what can I say, ya do it once, you wanna do it all the time!) but we eventually make up and it draws us more together, but this time...this time it was agreed upon that we pretended this week didn't happen.
And once again I'm on Pins and Needles...
I mean, damn we all have our Jekyll & Hyde moments, but she's constantly lashing out at me in the chat rooms and when I defend myself, I'm the one making "Snide Comments", outta "Insecurities" due to her not giving me "enough attention"...
WTF? When did she become Dr. Phil?!?!
I'm SO not at that point of possessing over her. I try not to do that to ANY one I'm dating.
I realize that chicks have Kids, or the Job and I can't be in your thoughts 24/7, but it's this DAMN trip!!!
*sigh*
In an effort to make nice-nice and get on her good side again, I've been tracking down and reading a few of her favorite books. I had mentioned starting to read the first one awhile back and she swooned. Eventually that led to our inaugural Phone Bone, and things were looking up since then.
That of course was a lil fib, I had only reserved the book at the library, I was far from reading it.
The damn book is so rare, there were only 10 copies in the system so I went on a quest and found it yesterday at a Borders.
The book is called "Guardian Angel" by Julie Garwood, in case it rings a bell out there (Ladyred, you're an avid reader...)
I'm on the fast track to read it soon so we can make up our next call (which I have no idea when that will be...)
After that book there's 2 more I may need to read by October...
"The Winter Women" by Mary-Rose Hayes
and
"Juffie Kane" by Beverly S. Martin
Hmmmm, for a young lil waif (she's 24, YES I know that's even YOUNGER than Psycho-Lesbo-Sis! I better not hear any comments!) Vix is certainty well read.
The hat trick of all my problems is this damn medical thing that's been developing...
I've been taking more showers cuz of the heat, and my ear has developed a candle amount of ear wax! And my ear drum feels like it's swollen and hurts like hell! I went to webMD.com and found out it's called "Swimmer's Ear".
I gotta look into some ear drops to get it fixed, but damn it HURTS!
Oh, there's even MORE developing news ahead...
but that's another story for another post...
This is the treatment I get for my upcoming 32nd Birthday?!?!
Why Me?

"GRRRRRRR...HOMER SMASH!!!!!"
Emotions make you do stupid things!
or they make you WANT to do stupid things!
Okay check this out...
The website "community" that I've been addicted to has these events called "Meet and Greets".
They take place all around the states at various places, Miami, Texas, Georgia, California, yadda, yadda, yadaa...
There is one that is happening the weekend of my Birthday (Sept. 28-30).
It's in FRIGGIN OHIO.
Dayton, to be exact.
But not necessarily Dayton...Miamisburg, OH which is within Dayton.
Peeps are going, coming from all over and nearby...
VIX is GOING too.
Now, at first, I didn't give a damn...
BUT certain circumstances have arisen that I cannot disclose and as the time draws near...it is fucking eating me up inside.
SO this morning I played out a scenario...
Let's say I tell the job I need at least 4 days off...
Let's say they don't fire my ass for such a request...
Let's say I book a room at this cheap ass roach motel they planning the festivities at (The Super 8 Miamisburg Dayton South Area, OH @ 155 Monarch Lane)...
Let's say I get a round-trip ticket for an 18 hour bus ride from New York to Dayton for only 90 dollars...
I get CLOSE, but STILL too far. The greyhound station is right smack in the middle of Dayton, and Miamisburg is a bit South.
A cab seems outta the question...
There lies the dilemma.
I COULD try to call one of my cousins in Centerville and see if one of them could possibly drive me the rest of the way....but what are the odds in THAT?!?
I gotta think of something...
An alternate private Bus line that can take me closer...
WHY THE FUCK AM I EVEN EXERCISING THIS?!?!?
God, I can't even stand OHIO (No offense), nothing out there but land...
When I was out there 4 years ago, the place was more deserted than the place Kanye did that video for "Can't tell me Nothing".
Nothing but nothing for all the eyes NOT to see...
Geez.
I gotta get off this site...
or they make you WANT to do stupid things!

"Would everyone jus SHUT THE HELL UP!?!?!?"
Man, it wasn't for me and Vix getting to know each other, I'd be one grumpy mutha...
FOUR of my co-workers on the job are all returning to college this month. All they keep talking about is books and classes and shit!
And I keep thinking how left out I feel...
*sigh*
Like I said, it's a good I have Vix to distract me a little.
There are rumors of a shakeup on the job as well...
They're eliminating the 3rd shift and plan on having people come in at different times on different days.
One day you're working 4pm-12pm, another 10pm-6am or 9pm-5am!
They also plan to Cross-train the Scanners with the "Production" group (Which consist of Copy Operators and other various imaging processors). There won't be anymore "4 Hour" work days when there's no work. Scanning helps Production when they have nothing to do and vice versa.
Actually the Production operators HAVE already been infiltrating the ranks.
They come over, don't know their ass from them elbow and mess up all the work! They're almost a bad as the Scanning 3rd Shift!
The change was intended to happen after Labor Day...
We'll see what happens when I go back in Wednesday.
So with the holiday here, we're finally saying "Good bye and get ready for School" to Baby Girl as she's been pestering us as we babysit when we can while Psycho-Lesbo-Sis keeps working in the Parks till who-knows-when...
I came up with the bright idea of seeing "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" this afternoon.
These kids are looking so grown it's insulting my intelligence to believe they supposed to be adolescences. Still the storyline building for the last 3 books with the whole "Harry/Voldermolt Connection" seems dark enough to pique my interest. The movie's greatest aspect thou was the introduction of some new supportive characters that I believe have bigger roles in the last two stories. I admire the imagination they used to bring Nymphadora Tonks and Bellatrix Lestrange to life. The feisty multi-hair colored shape shifter and the disturbed witch stood out despite limited screen time (I think I jus have a thing for Helena Bonham Carter since "Fight Club").
It was a great movie special effects-wise (No TRANSFORMERS thou) and the build up for the next one has been set. The movie was equivalent to "Star Wars" with "Half-Blood Prince" looking to be "The Empire Strikes Back" of the series.
MOM seemed completely lost in the movie due to her barely remembering "The Goblet of Fire", I warned her she should have did a recap, but I don't think we had a copy of the movie at home.
Anyway, after the movie, Psycho-Lesbo-Sis was waiting for us after getting off work. We all took the train back home and went our separate ways uptown.
Later on that night, me and Vix hit the community chat room early for some banter with the masses. We're practically keeping our developing relationship a DEEP secret ala Jay-Z and Beyonce with very few members suspecting a thing. But there are occasional moments when we BOTH submit to flirting with other members within the room and suspicion gets the best of us. Some MORE than others.
We're both putting up fronts, trying NOT to admit to much that we might be falling for each other. And while the moment of truth arrives when we actually meet...There are occasional confrontations between us.
Basically it goes like this...
ME:"You're going around being the social butterfly you are, flirting like Paris Hilton, talkin' about these "Meet and Greets" coming up and I'M stand back holding the bag looking Brad Pitt babysitting the rugrats at home as you're Off to the Races!"
HER:"Well, you're fronting like you falling head over heels for for me, while you're no Angel yourself...who are YOU to bring up what am I doing, you can't Control Me!"
ME:"I"m NOT trying to control you, you're free to do whatever you want, but you don't need to throw it in my face how rambunctious you are all the time, be the eye-candy all you want, but admit you're thinking about ME more than anyone else!"
HER:"I AM thinking about you, I'm falling for you hard, but I'm scared that as strong are you're coming on, it's only an infatuation and it will fade and you will change, I don't wanna free-fall and completely submit myself if there's a chance I'll fall flat on my face..."
ME:"It's MORE than that and you know it! How can you say it will fade when everything I've learned about you draws me closer to wanting to be with you..."
yeah, it's like that...
we're like Venus and Serena out there...
It's all a matter of trust.
I have to hold my tongue, not get jealous and let her be her.
She has to play Hard-to-get while leading towards the point of judgment will depend on our first meeting all while still playing cool.
No pressure, it's just Lust, it's just Sex...Love will build and develop after...right?
*A worried look* grows slowly on my face.

They come over, don't know their ass from them elbow and mess up all the work! They're almost a bad as the Scanning 3rd Shift!
The change was intended to happen after Labor Day...
We'll see what happens when I go back in Wednesday.
So with the holiday here, we're finally saying "Good bye and get ready for School" to Baby Girl as she's been pestering us as we babysit when we can while Psycho-Lesbo-Sis keeps working in the Parks till who-knows-when...
I came up with the bright idea of seeing "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" this afternoon.
These kids are looking so grown it's insulting my intelligence to believe they supposed to be adolescences. Still the storyline building for the last 3 books with the whole "Harry/Voldermolt Connection" seems dark enough to pique my interest. The movie's greatest aspect thou was the introduction of some new supportive characters that I believe have bigger roles in the last two stories. I admire the imagination they used to bring Nymphadora Tonks and Bellatrix Lestrange to life. The feisty multi-hair colored shape shifter and the disturbed witch stood out despite limited screen time (I think I jus have a thing for Helena Bonham Carter since "Fight Club").
It was a great movie special effects-wise (No TRANSFORMERS thou) and the build up for the next one has been set. The movie was equivalent to "Star Wars" with "Half-Blood Prince" looking to be "The Empire Strikes Back" of the series.
MOM seemed completely lost in the movie due to her barely remembering "The Goblet of Fire", I warned her she should have did a recap, but I don't think we had a copy of the movie at home.
Anyway, after the movie, Psycho-Lesbo-Sis was waiting for us after getting off work. We all took the train back home and went our separate ways uptown.
Later on that night, me and Vix hit the community chat room early for some banter with the masses. We're practically keeping our developing relationship a DEEP secret ala Jay-Z and Beyonce with very few members suspecting a thing. But there are occasional moments when we BOTH submit to flirting with other members within the room and suspicion gets the best of us. Some MORE than others.
We're both putting up fronts, trying NOT to admit to much that we might be falling for each other. And while the moment of truth arrives when we actually meet...There are occasional confrontations between us.
Basically it goes like this...
ME:"You're going around being the social butterfly you are, flirting like Paris Hilton, talkin' about these "Meet and Greets" coming up and I'M stand back holding the bag looking Brad Pitt babysitting the rugrats at home as you're Off to the Races!"
HER:"Well, you're fronting like you falling head over heels for for me, while you're no Angel yourself...who are YOU to bring up what am I doing, you can't Control Me!"
ME:"I"m NOT trying to control you, you're free to do whatever you want, but you don't need to throw it in my face how rambunctious you are all the time, be the eye-candy all you want, but admit you're thinking about ME more than anyone else!"
HER:"I AM thinking about you, I'm falling for you hard, but I'm scared that as strong are you're coming on, it's only an infatuation and it will fade and you will change, I don't wanna free-fall and completely submit myself if there's a chance I'll fall flat on my face..."
ME:"It's MORE than that and you know it! How can you say it will fade when everything I've learned about you draws me closer to wanting to be with you..."
yeah, it's like that...
we're like Venus and Serena out there...
It's all a matter of trust.
I have to hold my tongue, not get jealous and let her be her.
She has to play Hard-to-get while leading towards the point of judgment will depend on our first meeting all while still playing cool.
No pressure, it's just Lust, it's just Sex...Love will build and develop after...right?
*A worried look* grows slowly on my face.
