Wal-mart @ MindSay

Anecdotes Lifedotes:

I need to get my ass to Wal-Mart but I figured I'd just type this first. Things that have been happening recently or whatever.

When I originally got my foot tattoo done, Brian told me to come back in three weeks to check up on it. So I did, and he told me it was going to be another two weeks for it to heal. SIDE OF THE FOOT TATTOOS NEVER HEAL. I mean, I know he warned me, but seriously, I thought three weeks was a long amount of time. lmfao so five weeks is for-fucking-ever.

And while my tattoo is in dire need of touch up, I think I'm going to hold off on it until the first week of September. If I get it done in a week and half, then I will be stuck in flip flops for Warped Tour. I can't wait until right after that, because then I have Green Day . . .and then Slayer/Manson . . .and then Crue Fest. All in August. I cannot be wearing flip flops in a pit. If I get the touch up the first week of September, there will have been roughly 4 weeks of healing before Blink-182, and (assuming it takes the same amount of time to heal) I think I can manage sneakers for one night.

Magen and I are going to see RENT on Tuesday at the Tampa Bay Performing Arts Center :] :] :] :] :] :] Adam Pascal and Anthony Rapp are reprising their roles as Roger and Mark :] Sooooooooo excited. While I have seen countless bootlegs of the performance (and the movie, of course), I have yet to actually see it live. And I get to see it live with Adam and Anthony <3 Soooooooooo amazing :]

I am off tomorrow. I always get what I want,and I didn't want to work on the 4th. Usually we close, but last year we stayed open because it was a Friday and Anthony was worried on missing out on lots of money. I was entirely determined to be off this year. Brent, however, assumed we were staying open and told Anthony he would open only if we closed early, and Anthony agreed. Mad at Brent, I asked him why the fuck he wanted the store open, and when he realized that we weren't going to be open until he had something, texted Ant to say "I DON'T WANT TO OPEN ON THE 4TH"

The very next day, while Anthony and Brent are working together, Anthony says, "Did Justine talk you out of it?"

lol so now Anthony keeps complaining that we are closed on the 4th and it is all my fault. IDGAF, Anthony. I am not fucking working.

(lol @ when he originally told me Brent was going to open, I made SUCH a huge deal: "UGH! I FUCKING HATE WHEN BRENT DOES THIS BECAUSE THEN I HAVE TO FUCKING WORK," all said loud and fast and WHINY AS FUCK.)

I may touch on this in more detail later, but I keep debating on whether or not I should go back to school in the fall. I could just forgo classes and apply for graduation. In the past, I have always taken a full 12 credit schedule (which is 4 classes in regular semesters and 2 classes in summer semesters). However, I only signed up for 3 classes this time around. While all 3 are classes I really want to take, I think that if I go back I am going to drop it down to 2. Today, that is the plan. We will see how long this lasts for.

Also, just because I want to mention this . . . when I was with Jen the other day, I mentioned how her "boyfriend" (they have been together since our sophomore year, but they have not technically been together for awhile now, even though they are still together. I think Jen calls herself the "pseudo girlfriend"? Or maybe it's they're technically still together even though they're not. Whatever.) had been hitting on me through MySpace . . . and I keep trying to ignore it, but it's annoying. Everytime the three of us are together he blatantly hits on me in front of her and I fucking hate it. Jen told me she tells him that he needs to stop because I don't like being hit on, but "He doesn't believe me! I keep telling him, I have known this girl since she was 11. I know she does not like being hit on!"

lol @ how I haven't changed since I was 11.


AND OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG MIKEY CUT OFF ALL HIS HAIR, I AM FUCKING HEARTBROKEN OMG OMG OMG OMG
He looks like he did when we first met 3 years ago, except much taller.

Speaking of 3 years, nearing the end of July will be my 3 year anniversary at the pizzeria! That's a big commitment for me!

Well, as Americans, we've officially reached new heights of idiocy.

 

There was a story this afternoon, reported in the New York Times of a Wal-Mart employee who was "trampled to death" by crowds trying to get in the store as it opened for Black Friday.

 

WTF?

 

I, mean, could this possibly be more ridiculous? People are now so interested in getting that "special toy" or saving a measly 10% that they push and shove and break down the doors to a store to be the first one inside?  That's what happened.  A crowd of 2,000 people pushed and shoved the doors to Wal-Mart until they broke them down, 5 MINTUES before they opened. Five minutes! They couldn't wait 5 stinking minutes until the doors were unlocked and then filed inside in an orderly fashion? This is just so totally absurd that I can hardly believe it. And it's true.

 

Police were called by fellow employees and they tried to give the trampled man CPR, but the crowd (none of whom stopped to help...they just stepped over or ON him to get inside) kept pushing and shoving, preventing the police from assisting the fallen man. Eventually, they got him into an ambulance and took him to the emergency room, but he died anyway. They haven't released his exact cause of death, yet, but this man was killed because of insane holiday shoppers.

 

Sounds like a joke, right? I wish it were, I truly do. This is so pathetic that it makes me cringe inside. And for a moment, I am ashamed to be a greedy, self-absorbed American. No wonder people hate us. Right now, I kind of hate us, too.

The following is a response to a very extesive and enlightening post abot Wal-Mart's concerted and broad corporate effort to intimidate potential Obama voters. I am sick of this shit too. I am delusioned and depressed over the ignorance and stupidity of people back there in AUSPONA. I am not anti-American. I am anti-The Fudking United States part of North America

 

Re: Wal-Mart says NO to OBAMA by @@@@

 

We sure will, and alot more everywhere else... when will these folks see, that if O gets elected AND his plans go through, that will mean that they could be voting themselves right out of a job, because they probably work for those that are going to be hit with the increased taxes while they get their welfare checks..oops I mean tax cuts...

You are ignorant! No, selectively stupid!

 

Without doubt, you are ignorant and heartless and hateful to your core. You are, @@@@, you are!

 

What do you call the welfare doled out to corporate crooks and thieves because of the muck and mire and devastation and degradation and near demise they have caused back there?

 

@@@@, a trillion dollar [$1,000,000,000,000] bailout for those fudking crooks does not warrant one paragraph, one sentence, one word of protest or condemnation from you. My God, @@@@, have you no decency?

 

You are a sick woman, @@@@ . Calling you, identifying you as ignorant is being benevolent. Ignorance is unavoidable. Ignorance is a state, a condition of not knowing.

 

I believe you know what you are doing with your hateful spew put out here. Therefore, I charge you with being stupid and selectively so.

 

You know what you are doing here, @@@@. I do not know the motivation for the evil you opt to practice here. Reflect a bit, @@@@; can't you see the evil you are doing?      Sincerely, David

Its like 3:00 in the morning here, and everything was wonderful... There was this guy that came up to me and used one of the oldest lines in the book, and I quote "Can you give me directions.. I got lost in your eyes." which totally made me feel tons better about myself...
We went to STARBUCKS, the teen club, the park, and then yes... to wal-mart...
The picture that you see at the top is my faboo new man purse given to me by
awesome Hollye.. I'm a dork I know lol...

Anyways the weather has been pretty nice here, it has been
windy, it sprinkled, and around 67 degrees.. PERFECT..
What I am going to miss most here is the snow on the ground during winter

Not a lot else going on, I am about to go to bed...

Sorry, there hasn't been any photos.   My camera died.  I have it hooked up to the computer but, I can't take any outdoor photos with it anymore....it just dies.

 

 

   There's another one at Wal-Mart, that would probably last longer than the one I have right now.  Sad that it's not Spiderman but, this one is much better quality. 

 

More football news:

 

Apparently the Patriots want to get into trouble.  From what I hear they are in DEEP trouble.  More Spygate crap again; and their DB Andrews thinks that they aren't in ENOUGH trouble so he decides: Hey! You know what would spice things up? DRUGS! Gah!

 

And the Bengals won't trade Johnson so he's sitting out this season.  Good bloody grief.  Fights aren't excluded to JUST hockey anymore....there was a brawl in the Baltimore Ravens' minicamp.  Why can't these ADULTS and PROFESSIONALS stay out of trouble for just ONE SEASON?!  *grabs Jake by the jersey and pulls him to her*  IS IT THAT DIFFICULT FOR YOUR GENDER TO DO????
