IN THE TIME OF THE BUTTERFLIES

My goodness what a total fresh of breath air. I don't know what to say or to expect. What i do know is that i am coming to another chaper.

See, tomorrow is my graduation for my bachelors - some people dont see it as a big deal, some others go to school to get a degree and dont see it as an accomplishment, others are just retards with degrees. The point im making is that i do care. Its a big deal to my family and they proved it to me this weekend. Yesterday was what i labeled the "Graduation Celebration". It was my graduation party and my family and a close friends showed their love. And i couldn't have asked for anything more. I will put some of the ignorant pictures up later. Like the ones where i could kodak of poeple being sick lol.

I got so fucked up, its not even fuuny.

Party started at 8:30 -9:00pm and quit at 4:30, and my brother mom and i stayed up until 6:30am. We saw the sun rise and talked beautifully and were emotional. My dad was passed out drunk and my other brother was lights out at 4am. It was cool and it was fun and I couldnt be more happy. I was so stressed from the party buying and planning that i dont feel the joy for the commencement tomorrow. Its going to be weird. Maybe tomorrow i will be able to get nervous.

But for now i am excited and i feel free. Even though later on i will be doing my masters - i try not to think of that.

Till then I feel like a butterfly....

NETFLIX FUNNIES

A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE

So if you've seen this movie, you know that its not the greatest movie in the world. In fact it sucks a lotta Peter. Well, since i couldnt find the movie Bats in netflix (that movie is just free material on hilarious netflix reviews - how these bad movies get made i will never know!)i decided to go for a more action film. Its like the director didnt know how to write a script adn direct. This was a movie that was not thought out at all. Lets see what other NetFlixers think about the movie...Too Funnny.

Review by: Idge888

I laughed when I read the critics' reviews of this movie because I think they missed it entirely. My review can be summed up in one scene - when Maria Bello's character finds out her husband is not who she thought he was - she becomes violently ill; emphasis on the 'violently'. You see, there is a natural flow to life - and the way people respond to certain situations is pretty predictable - but not in this movie - the response of these characters is so off the charts you can't help but be turned off by it. Initially, we are introduced to the Stall family - who are so touchy-feely sweet you just want to slap them. The son is overly sensitive, the wife is lovey-dovey and the daughter is one "God bless us, everyone" from being Tiny Tim. It's just too much to swallow. This movie starts out Little House On The Prairie and moves to Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It loses touch with reality and in doing so, loses its audience.


Review by: AK from Seattle, WA

How did this movie gets so much critical acclaim is beyond me. Ive never seen such bad directing, acting or dialog. The concept was pretty good, but it was butchered in the end. So many good actors directed in such a way they look like robots. William Hurt in paricular. The movie starts out with a family that only exists in 1950s sit-coms ala Leave it to Beaver. They are so wholesom its almost sickening. I kept waiting for it to pick up... Get good... Something. A few scenes shine through, but they equate to about 3 minutes of the 90+ overall. David Cronenberg has a few good movies under his belt (Dead Zone and Naked Lunch in particular), but this one just had to be a bad day at the office or something, because faltering with such strong cast seems immposible. He did though. Congrats David you took what could have been good and turned it into a steaming pile...

Next we have the painful movie that i saw: My Super Ex Girlfriend

God this was such a bad movie. I love Luke Wilson and he usually plays odd-ball roles but this was just...too much too late. I am sick of these crap films. Lets see what Netflixers had to say:

REview by:DW from Dallas, TX 2

Super BAD! This movie had no redeeming qualities. Had I paid to see it in the theaters, I would have requested my movie back. The acting was dreadful. The dialogue was worse! I felt like I was watching one of the spoof movies!

REview By: Madeline Baia

An extremely over the top movie with lackluster performances. A nap was more entertaining.

Review By: Me from IL

This is crap. I think it was a good idea for a movie (a jealous superhero girlfriend), but it turned out to be very corny, especially the ending! And Luke Wilson's best friend in the movie is just a total pervert, which to me is a turn off, not even funny. I didn't laugh much.



So much for those movies....God they were just so bad!

OH MY GAW...

It was one of those silly days that you appreciate with the love of your life.
You know what im talking about.

My boyfriend's day off finally came yesterday. A much anticipated day since i rarely see him these days. Its tough since i am in my last semester of school and hes working over time at his copland job. Being a cop is stressful - i dont know how he does it. Scraping up people of the floor all the time...

Anyways, we decided to eat something greasy. Wendys was on our minds. We go to Wendys and after we get the food we drive over to a park to people watch as we ate. It was nice. Like old times. Anyways, after weve made fun of all the fat people that are working hard at losing their weight and doing something proactive to stop being teased - we went to get him coffee. You know Cubans and their coffee...

We then drive home, and he decides to throw out the rest of the coffee out of his moving car. The speed the wind the liquid - not a smart guy - spills all over the side of his car, and all over his arm.

He yelps, and tells me to get him a napkin. I always keep napkins in the car but it seems like hes been using them all...So i reac hinto the Wendy's bag to get em' one and my hand is smothered in ketchup. My smart Bf squeezed the ketcup in the bag - for fun, and now its all over my hand. So we are both in the car with our left arms up in the air. His arm dripping in hot Cuban coffee, and my hand smeared with sticky ketchup. We look at each other and get a ridiculous laugh attack until we remember that his car is stick shift lol

I finally find a napkin in the other Wendy's bag and suffice to say he used the one napkin for himself and i had to use it...all soggy and gross. My hand was still sticky, and so was his. I couldnt help but remember that scene from a Nicholas Cage movie and his hand that had gotten chopped off..."MY hand...My hannddd". Great movie buy the way...cant remember the name of it - Cher was in the movie too.

That was the comic relief from Wednesday. Classic moments you will forever keep in mind and laugh about when you have quiet moments, and when you want to laguh about itt to friends... it makes funny party conversation.

DEALING WITH OLDER COWORKERS

Let me tell you. Ive got plenty of stories. But today i am only going to discuss my current co-worker. Shes an older woman of 99 and shes been through it. She is unbearable and shes only been there about two weeks.

You know what im talking about. Older co-workers are the worse. Heres some reasons why:

1. They are truely set in their ways. This causes problems because they refuse to start anew. Last time i noticed it is 2007 not the caveman era. This woman comes in like shes hot shit and doesnt need to learn the way of the office.

2. Thinks she knows it all. Yes i know i am 23, but technically im 23 1/2 (not really my bday is in Nov. But still!) i cannot compare the experience and eras and eons of experience she has acquired. But i know the system and i know how shit is run in the office and ive been there longer than her. And honestly i dont need no old mangy bitch trying to run me like shes got some supervisory hold on me. SHe aint shit, she aint a god damn thing than a mother fucking price auditor. And honestly, i do more than she does in the 3 hours she takes up in the morning smoking and drinking coffee in the loading dock of my office.

3. I will (god willing) outlive her. Shes only got like 10 years left, if shes lucky. And plus, shes a freaking sneeze and fart away from keeling over and snapping in two. And when shes gone, i will still be there to pick up the pieces and keep with my regular flow of office work.

4. Have opinions on things that dont matter or concern them. I mean seriously how is it possible that my highlighter being red have anything to do with her preferring yellow highlighters? Its not my fault you going bling bitch. Get some laser surgery done or wear better prescriptions, or try and place the paper closer to your face. I like my red highlighters god dammit!

5. Older generations think its okay to smother me and invade my personal space. Its a known fact, statistically, that older generations (especially hispanics - oh i forgot to mention shes old-school Cuban) tend to communicate within other peoples personal space. I on the other hand along with my generation and the rest of the American society know not to invade peoples personal space because i dont like to be close enought to smell your hot breathe. I mean have you ever smelled a 99 year olds breathe after three hours of coffee and cigarettes? That shit is nasty - cause her dentures have been marinating that shit over night and all morning. Its just disgusting and when she gets near me like that i move away. I give a fuck if she thinks it rude, i am just trying to get away from you - get the hint lady - you invade my space!!!
The only ones that are allowed in my space are my man, and my dogs...cause in my family we dont even hug - its just weird...

I know you have all had to deal with this kinda shit. And i am sick and tired of seeing this ladys face all day, im just glad shes got her own cubicle and can pick her own nose behind that fake wall - cause if i had to look at her all day i would just die - or realistically quit. Yes people i am that bad - i would quit.
If you havent read my blog before , know this now, i am unabashingly vain and rude and sarcastic. Theres nothing to hide.. Even though i have calmed down a lot i still can bring it out when i have to.
