I am Back (Sort of)

2008-10-07T13:35:00.000-07:00

Hello Everybody!

I took a loooong hiatus to focus on graduating and applying to grad school which I have now done! Pixie is a grad student now studying Cognitive Psychology. Its not exactly the program I wanted but I did manage to recieve a scholarship and leave Texas! I am only New Mexico but thats still far enough. Oh and did I mention I am engaged now? He is also a student studying Engineering Physics I dont know exactly what that is but it sounds boring and scary at the same time. What's everyone else been up to?

Movie Review: The Science of Sleep

2007-05-08T16:31:00.000-07:00

Thanks to two weeks of living off of Caffeine, no sleep and pure adrenalin I have managed to pull my BioChem grade up to a B!

On one of the rare breaks that I gave myself I did manage to catch Michel Gondry's The Science of Sleep. I thought I would love this movie since I am a big fan of Gael Garcia Bernal and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is one of my favorite movies. However this movie was so bad I can’t even start to explain where it went wrong. I guess the premise of the entire movie; a highly imaginative young man who has trouble distinguishing his dreams from reality is kind of goofy to begin with. Nevertheless the movie could have been salvaged if there was some sort of drama or excitement. Instead the movie was one rambling mess of inconsistencies; In one part Gael explains to a co-worker that his father was a French magician and in another scene he talks about living in Mexico with his Mexican father. Plus the fact that there was zero chemistry between Gael and Charlotte Gainsburg only made the movie worse. I am curious has anyone else seen this movie and had the same reaction as I did? My reaction ofcourse being WTF!

I Am Burned Out

SIGNS YOU'RE SUFFERING FROM COLLEGE BURNOUT

* Your favorite phrase is "I don't give a s@#$."

* When you start showering after class rather than before.

* The test papers are no longer worthy of the fridge door.

* When the campus drunk tells you that you should study more.

* You have spent more time figuring out that you only need a 54% on the final to pass than the time you have actually spent studying.

* When your study schedule is based on the rationale that you "might" actually die before the test!

* Visions of the upcoming weekend help you make it through Monday.

I can honestly say I have said and done most of these things. I am really starting to hate school! I have not started the advance Science program yet and my grades are already slipping. To make matters worse I have sat in at a couple of the advance science program classes/meetings and all I can say is YIKES! Talk about dedication these kids (I swear there is a guy who is only 16) live, breath and eat Science. I’ve always considered myself a Science nerd but I am really intimidated.

At this rate I doubt I will even be qualified for the program next semester. I need to get at least a B in my BioChem class to qualify for this program but right now my average is somewhere around a C+. I take some comfort knowing that the class is brutal, it started out with about 100 students and now there are only around 30 left! Who cares if I do not know all the intricate details of the electron transport chain or all ten Glycolysis Catabolic Pathways as long as I get the big picture right? I am really close to saying screw it all so I took a break today from all my classes. Hopefully things will get better within the next couple of weeks. How is everyone else doing?

School Stuff

2007-03-08T18:07:00.000-08:00

Hi everyone I am back! Two things are happening simultaneously in my life right now, I am experiencing burnout from my college course load (I am only taking 3 classes) and I have been accepted into an advance Science program which is all very bad timing. The weird thing is I do not remember applying to this program. I got a letter last week from my college congratulating me on my academic success and informing me that I have earned a spot with an advance science program. All I have to do now is increase my college course load even further by taking an additional science class, maintain a 3.5 GPA, and participate in 15-20 hours in on campus research a week. It seems really impossible but the catch is if all goes well with this program I might be eligible for an internship at Harvard!

I told my mom about this program and now she told all my relatives that I have been accepted into Harvard LOL!

A Word From My Favorite Comedian

Which Famous Homosexual Are You?

2007-02-15T19:15:00.000-08:00

Which Famous Homosexual Are You?
Yeah, baby. You were the King of Macedonia, and conqueror of much of the world; you're responsible for the spread of Christianity, as well as Hellenistic society and even the Roman Empire. Your power was feared for thousands of miles around.

And how gay were you. When you'd conquered Persia, you fell in love with a male courtier from that court - scandalous in those days, because the Persians were believed to be uncivilised barbarians.You were always really in love with your boyhood friend, Hephaestion, and when he died you were grief-stricken to a legendary degree: convinced that he would live on after death, you passed away soon afterwards.

WTF Happened to Oprah?

2007-02-15T18:54:00.000-08:00

Its funny how she made a big fuss about losing weight a year ago and now her weight seems to be creeping back up. Oprah when will you learn it is better to keep your mouth shut about your weight-loss than to be humiliated with pictures like these. You also need to fire your stylist because your hair and make-up are no longer cutting it.

Movie Review: Wild At Heart

2007-02-10T13:41:00.000-08:00

Gory, trippy and disturbing on so many levels its no wonder this movie is now one of my personal favorites. With an off beat sense of humor, and vividly intense imagery David Lynch brings to life an adult version of The Wizard of Oz. However, between all the sex and violence lies a genuine love story. Sailor Ripley (Nicolas Cage) and Lula Pace (Laura Dern) are two star-crossed lovers on the run from a variety of colorful characters hired by Lula’s mom to kill Sailor.

I made the mistake of watching it while my older (and uptight) sister was in the room with me. She ended up calling me a sick puppy and ran out of the room with her eyes closed and her hands over her ears. She did not even finish watching the first 5 minutes of the film. Although I feel obligated to warn anyone who has yet to see this film about all the brutality, I do feel if you give it a chance it might just grow on you. Or maybe it only grows on demented people with an innate ability to find the humor/love amidst all the shockingly horrific violence.

P.S. I was forced to switch to beta, the damn thing would not let me sign in to the old blogger unless I upgraded. How unfair!

Hopefully Anna is at peace now but where is DannieLynn? It really uneases me to think that her creepy lawyer will be granted custody of her. Does anyone actually believe that he is DannieLynn's biological father?

A Week From Hell

2007-02-06T17:16:00.000-08:00

I have had the week from hell.

My grandma suffered a stroke and is in critical condition.
I missed a day of class to visit my grandma in the hospital and as it turns out the next day of class I had a major exam that I was unaware of and forgot to study for so I ended up getting a D-.
I ran into an old flame of mine and it was painful, awkward and depressing. I thought he was the love of my life, it turns out he is not. He is married to someone else now.
I got a flat on my way home from work and I chipped three nails putting on the stupid spare.
And to top it off I am suffering from PMS! I am going out of my mind any words of encouragement are welcome.

Top 5 Celebrities Who Need to Enter Rehab

2007-01-17T23:05:00.000-08:00

Now that Lindsay Lohan is officially in rehab, I’ve been thinking about what other celebrities need to seek professional help. So here is my list of the top five celebrities in no particular order who need to enter rehab as soon as possible.

Britney Spears- We all know she has perfected the southern trashy look but maybe she is not completely in a sober state of mind when she goes out looking so tacky. Plus having two babies under two years of age and a cheating husband who you have to pay alimony to is bound to make any woman seek comfort in illegal drugs or alcohol.
Tara Reid- I am surprised she still has a liver. It seems that she love booze and partying above everything else even her career. I think her health is in serious jeopardy.
Paula Abdul- Lethargic and annoying, no one who watches American Idol on a regular basis can actually believe she is 100% sober.
Mary-Kate Olsen- We all know she is starving herself but come on she must take some sort of illegal appetite suppressant in order to maintain her twig like physique.
Kate Moss- I am starting to think maybe her love of drugs is what is keeping her relationship with Pete Doherty in tact.

Doing Good Deeds Pays

2007-01-16T17:27:00.000-08:00

I started school again this week and the classes are real grueling. So today after my last class I was just eager to get home so I could relax. Anyways as I was packing up my stuff getting ready to leave I noticed a young guy who sat a few rows away from me asking the people around him if they would mind sharing their notes with him because he was a little hard of hearing and his notes were not that good. To my surprise everyone he asked said no and I really felt bad for the guy so I walked up to him, introduced myself and explained that I would be willing to share my notes with him.

“That’s great” he said.
“But you’ll need to go to this room and fill out a few forms first.”

I was kind of perplexed and a little annoyed that I would have to go through all that trouble just to share my notes with him but I reluctantly agreed to go. When I got to the room there was a huge line and my mood quickly soured but I waited patiently for like 20 minutes until I got to the front of the line. As I was explaining my situation to the secretary, she casually said,

“Did he tell you that you will be getting paid for this?”
“I am getting paid to share my notes?”
“Yes but we ran out of forms so you are going to have to come back tomorrow.”

So waiting in line was not a total waste of my time but now all I am wondering is why he did not mention anything about getting paid to the other people he was asking?

Book Review: Twilight by Stephenie Meyer

2007-01-04T11:54:00.000-08:00

As always I managed to gain a few pounds over the holidays. So this year I decided to use some of my Christmas money to buy a good, long book to read while exercising on the treadmill. Yes I know listening to music would be a more plausible option to make the time on the treadmill go by faster but I got bored of all of the music on my IPod and I am too lazy to search for new music.

Now when searching for a book I normally would go straight for the horror section but this time I decided to try something different. I searched for a book in the teen romance section (yes I know I am still a teen at heart) and to my surprise I found one that caught my eye. At over 500 pages this book was more than long enough to keep me entertained for a few days and the cover stated that it was a New York Times best seller. Sold! I bought the book right on the spot.

Ironically only when I got home and read some more comments on the books jacket did I realize it was a horror-romance novel. New York Times called it “Deeply seductive and extraordinarily suspenseful a love story with a bite.” It figures the only time I am not searching for a horror book I managed to buy one anyways. Intrigued I decided to read the first chapter to see if it was really as good as it was claiming to be.

The first chapter was not bad but hardly a page turner. Bella a young girl moves from Phoenix into a small Washington town called Forks. She has to begin her Junior year of high school at a new school were people treat her like an oddity. The only good thing about the school is a good-looking, rebellious boy named Edward who she becomes instantly attracted to. Although people warn her to stay away from him she becomes dangerously drawn to him. Only when she is head over heels in love with him does she find out he is a vampire looking for his next meal.

I really enjoyed this book so much I finished reading it within the first two days. It is not as good as Ann Rice but it is just as entertaining. For those of you who don’t like reading horror novels I heard it is going to be made into a movie soon but since MTV bought the rights to it I doubt it will be any good.

I probably won't get a chance to be back on my blog until after Christmas so just in case I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Movie Recomendation: Apocalypto

2006-12-18T21:24:00.000-08:00

Mel Gibson is a douche bag but when it comes to making movies the man has talant. My brother dragged me kicking and screaming to see this movie with him a few days ago and I must say I really enjoyed it.

Filmed deep in the Yucatan jungle, Apocalypto takes place during the decline of the Mayan civilization. Here we find a young Mayan man living a peaceful life the way his ancestors have before him. However this is shattered early on when the brutal ruling class ( the Aztecs I presume) pillage and raid his village looking for human sacrafices.

From this point on the movie only gets gorier as the young man manages to escape a beheading, kill one of his captors and outrun an angry jaguar. Although the ending is not historically accurate if you have the stomach for it I really suggest you go and watch this movie.

A Few Blurry Pictures From vegas

2006-12-13T08:47:00.000-08:00

Although Las Vegas has some beautiful architecture I can't help but to think this statue completly sums up Vegas. He is warning everyone to go back home.

Street art in Vegas is very wierd. This artist was painting pictures with only a few bottles of spraycans and ripped paper from a telephone book as his paint brush. He signed his name as Tony Vegas but the next night a totally different man painting pictures on the exact same spot also went by the name Tony Vegas. Sounds really shady right! Oh well you can't deny he is talanted.

Three Things I learned From Las Vegas

2006-11-28T15:28:00.000-08:00

1. If you don't want creepy men hitting on you, don't walk down the Las Vegas strip by yourself at night time.

2. There is no such thing as being on a budget while you are at Vegas. Aside from the free drinks and free porn, everything else costs an arm and a leg.

3. If you are gambling and you do manage to win big, stop while you are ahead. The longer you are in a casino the more money you end up spending.

I am sorry I can't elaborate more, I have to move out by the end of the week so I am going to be taking a small break from my blog. Once I get settled in my new place, I'll share some more stories and hopefully pictures of my trip with you guys.

Venting

2006-11-14T16:08:00.000-08:00

I am so frustrated! Its registration time again and along with the all the hassle of registering for new classes, I come to find out I am now considered a Senior! If I take 5 classes for the next two semesters I can actually graduate, the only problem is most of the classes I need to take are not compatible with my schedule. I really want to graduate within the next year but I am struggling with the three classes I am currently taking right now and I just know five classes are too much for me to take in one semester.

To make matters worse I am also struggling with one of my online classes. I guess I should clarify this a little bit I am not really struggling I have a B but I want an A. I usually like to reserve my B’s for harder courses like Math or Physics but this online course is brutal. If I have any questions on the material it is so hard to get in contact with the professor and the course is solely based on test grades (plus he takes of points for grammar and spelling). I am really trying my hardest but so far my best seems to be a B. I guess what is really bothering me is that I am now questioning my intelligence, am I really capable and smart enough to go to medical school? I am going through a small crisis right now, any words of encouragment are welcome.

Oh Happy Day

She is not as dumb as she looks Y'all! Britney has finally kicked her leech of a husband to the curb. She filed for divorce yesterday. I hope she can salvage what is left of her mangled career now.

On another note who is hoping for a Justin & Britney reunion? I know I am not. Sorry Britney but I think that Justin is better off with Cameron than he would be with you. I mean come on, you are a divorced country bumpkin with two babies and your career is in questionable shape. I never thought I would say this but that Cameron is a real catch.

This Could be Jessica's Breakthrough Role

2006-11-06T16:06:00.000-08:00

Synopsis: A basic rip-off of Melanie Griffith’s Working Girl. The movie stars Jessica ‘No-Talent” Simpson trying to make her way up the corporate ladder. It’s a stretch seeing Jessica playing anything other than a dumb blonde but if Melanie Griffith won an Oscar playing this character while at the height of her alcoholism then maybe Jessica stands a chance.

I know this song has been out for a while but I recently saw Justin Timberlake’s SexyBack video and all I can say is DAMN! He looked so sexy in it I couldn’t help but wonder why the hell is he still with Cameron Diaz? It is obvious the boy can do so much so much better.

I caught Liza Minnelli on yesterday’s Law & Order, she did a fantastic job and at 60 she is still looking good. I have always had a fondness for her and since Cabaret is one of my favorite movies I was even planning on dressing up as Sally Bowles for Halloween but I chickened out at the last minute. You have to be really brave in order to pull off this Look.

I have binging on candy all day courtesy of my nephew’s Halloween bag and now I have a toothache. The last time I went to the dentist was a few years ago for a root canal and I came out learning two things about myself, the numbing serum wears off incredibly fast on me, and the dentist said I had a good liver.

Lets Stop Hating K-Fed (My Last K-Fed Post)

2006-10-26T20:48:00.000-07:00

In the latest issue of People magazine K-Fed insits its okay if everyone hates him. He states, "If you want to hate me, cool, hate me. You know why? Because all it’s going to do is help me" Although marrying a famous pop star does not make you talanted K-Fed might have a point, his nortorious behavior has brought him some fame. Law & Order and CSI have both based roles on him. So if we want this retard to go away I suggest we stop hating him and start ignoring him.

Crazy Hasselbeck

2006-10-24T17:14:00.000-07:00

Oh that crazy Elizabeth Hasselbeck! I enjoy watching the View from time to time and when she joined the cast I was only mildly annoyed. For the most part I have a good laugh whenever she tries to make a political statement and watching her debate against Rosie is always fun. That Rosie is so vicious; Elizabeth does not stand a chance.

However the tolerance I had for Elizabeth broke today when she went on the show accusing Law & Order of being socially irresponsible for using a name that was similar to hers on a rape victim for the show. First of all the characters name was Elizabeth Hassenbach not Hasselbeck and that is where the similarities end. I mean I could see if the character was an annoying talk show host with a right wing agenda where she might have gotten this crazy idea the Law & Order was making fun of her but the show did not do anything like that. Elizabeth only fixated on the similarity of the character’s name and actually stated that she is the only person in the world (except for maybe a few in Germany) that has the name Elizabeth Hasselbeck, therefore the show must have been targeting her.

Being the self righteous woman that she is she explained how she called the executive producer of Law & Order to chastise him for using her name (again it was not actually her name it only sounded like her name.) Not surprisingly the guy chalked it up to coincidence and hung up on her. Still reeling from not being heard and respected she went on this outrageous rant on The View about how even though she likes the actors that come out in Law & Order she will not sit next to one of them if they come on the View because she feels she will be supporting the executive producer of Law & Order if she does that.

The whole idea that she is a big enough star that Law & Order would intentionally pick on her just left a bad taste in my mouth but what really got me mad is that she would use what little ‘star-power’ she has in order take out her anger on innocent bystanders. I am sorry but that is just wrong and one of her co-host should be strong enough to pull her off her high horse.

He could face a maximum of 16 years in prison if convicted. He has not been arressted yet because the authorities don't know where he is! That is some shady shit.

Movie Recomendation: Singles

2006-10-17T15:54:00.000-07:00

Oh how I wish I could have fully enjoyed the grunge scene. By the time I turned 12 it was all over. Still I have very fond memories of staying up late watching Alternative Nation and telling my friends I was going to marry Bill Corgan. However nothing makes me yearn more for the good old grunge days of the early 90’s like this movie.

Singles follows a group of twenty-something year olds living in Seattle during the height of the grunge era. Although the movie is not too deep, it is very entertaining and it does feature plenty of cool music. Chris Cornell and Eddie Vedder also share a small part.

I really enjoyed watching this movie because it shows a picture of a period in time where grunge still ruled.

Random High School Memory

2006-10-05T17:56:00.000-07:00

My sophomore year of high school had recently begun when my school started making a big fuss about a special school assembly featuring a special guest speaker. The name of the special guest speaker was never mentioned but rumors that the person was famous begun to circulate. The day of the assembly came and the entire student body was called in to the auditorium. When the principal made his speech and announced the guest speaker everyone was left shocked and horrified. Our special guest speaker was none other than Steven Seagal. Sure he was once famous but I went to high school in the late 90’s, by then Steven Seagal was a washed up has-been. The crowd was not very receptive, I could hear some students behind me angrily jeering about how lame Steven ‘Seagull’ was.

As Steven took the stage, I could tell by his bloated demeanor and his slurred speech that this assembly was going to be priceless. His speech was one rambling mess of slurred inconsistencies. By the look on his face I could tell he did not want to be there and he kept making matters worse by trying to casually look down at his wristwatch to see how much time he had left. He talked about staying in school and saying no to drugs. He even threw in a few karate kicks to try to impress the apathetic crowd of students but his actions were futile as the only reaction he got from the students was a mix of awkward laughter.

I have to say the one and only highlight of the assembly was a hilarious mishap. Steven being the macho karate master he is, tried to show a young and rather wimpy male student a blocking technique but he miscalculated the students punch and ended up getting socked in the face. The crowd went wild with laughter and for a split second there I thought Steven was going to sock the student back but he didn’t. The student was quickly ushered off stage and the assembly ended shortly there after. My only regret is that I did not have a camera to record this hilarious event so that I could show you guys.

Another Family Party

2006-10-02T01:29:00.000-07:00

My mom tricked me! A few days ago my mother very sweetly, called to inform me about another family party that was going to take place over this weekend. I came up with my usual excuses as to why I could not attend the party and she seemed to accept this.

However, the day of the party comes and my mother gives me another call, “Hi honey I just wanted to know if you want to go shopping with me today.”
“Sure I am always up for shopping.”

So I go shopping with my mom completely forgetting about the party later on that night. However my mom reminds me about the party by saying “I have to buy a gift for your cousin after all it is his birthday today and the poor thing is probably not going to have anyone show up for his party.” I know where this is going and I am prepared for it. “Mom I really can’t go to the party I have a big test I need to study for.” “That’s fine I am probably not going either” She says but yet she still buys a present for my cousin.

After we leave the mall my mom kindly asks me to go with her to drop off my cousins present. It is still early and no one will be there she says trying to convince me to go. So I reluctantly go with her and when we arrive surprise, surprise the party has already started. I give my mom a mean look but she swears that she had no idea the party started so early. “We’ll just drop of the present and leave I promise.” She says and so I am tricked to go to yet another hostile family party.

For the most part most of my family behaved well. Only two of my older girl cousins, who I have never got along with, give me trouble. I think they are just jealous of the fact that I am getting somewhere in life and they are not.

“So you still work at the same place?” cousin Number 1 says.
“Yes. I am still working and going to school.”
“I was thinking about going back to school to join the nursing program but I just got a new job with a big pay raise so I don’t school is a priority at this point.”
I try my best to politely smile but I know she is just itching to get under my skin.

“I just got an internship working with the DEA. So when I graduate from college I’ll have some connections and I’ll be making good money in no time. How long until you graduate?" Cousin Number 2 asks. What she really means is how long until you’ll be making more money than both of us combined.

“Well I have about a year left until I get my Bachelors but the real money won’t come until after I graduate from Medical School.” I regret saying this immediately. I have secretly been making plans to go to Medical School for some time now but I hate sharing this with my extended family. They are not very supportive and if I don’t go threw with my plans I will never live it down.

“I thought you were just going to school for a psychology degree!” Cousin Number 1 says.
“Actually I’ve always planned on becoming a psychiatrist, so I have to go to medical school.”

They both look stunned and mad but they both shut up immediately. I got them off my case temporarily but now I know that by the end of this day my whole family will know about my future plans and when my family becomes intimidated by someone’s success they become hostile and downright nasty towards them. I have a feeling I have only made matters worse for myself.

When I leave the party (an hour after I arrived) I catch a glimpse of cousin number one crying. Cousin number two is trying to consol her but when they look up and see me staring at them they both give me nasty looks. This is only the beginning.

On the way home I casually ask my mom about cousin number 1’s new job only to find out she is still working at the same place. As for cousin number 2’s internship, she just started her first semester at the local community college so I doubt her story about the internship is true. Oh boy I can tell the situation between me and my cousins is going to get ugly real fast.

Movie Recomendation: The Jacket

2006-09-14T18:14:00.000-07:00

I am going through my Adrian Brody phase right now and its influencing my choices in movies. I remember hearing about The Jacket when it first came out a while back but it never really caught my attention. So last night after seeing Adrian Brody on the cover I decided to rent it and I am glad that I did, it lived up to my expectations.

The movie starts off in the early 90’s during the first Gulf War. Jack Starks (Adrian Brody) suffers a severe head wound and is at the brink of death. He is resuscitated and eventually recovers but his mind would never be the same.

Fast-forward a few months later and he is facing trial for a murder he can’t remember committing. He is found guilty by reason of insanity and ordered to be locked up in a mental institution. There a vindictive and evil Dr. Becks takes a special interest in Jack using him as his own personal guinea pig. His forms of therapy are torturous and inhumane. Jack is loading up with psychotropic drugs, stuck in a straight jacket and stuffed in a morgue locker for hours on end.

However this form of therapy has one unique side effect, Jack finds himself transported into the future. There he meets a long lost love who informs Jack that he died in the mental institution ten years earlier. Now Jack finds himself trying to change the past so that he can have a shoot at a descent future.

Sure this movie is incredulous, spooky and a little cliché. However it is very entertaining and Adrian Brody as always gives a stunning performance.

I foresee many sleepless nights trying to catch up on months worth of homework ahead. In the meantime this reminds of a funny joke:

A new teacher was trying to make use of her psychology courses. She started her class by saying, "Everyone who thinks they are stupid, stand up!" After a few seconds, Little Johnny stood up.

The teacher said, "Do you think you're stupid, Johnny?

"No, ma'am, but I hate to see you standing there all by yourself!"

Personal Rant

2006-08-28T18:19:00.000-07:00

I am so glad last week is over and done with. My brother turned 21 last week and my mom thought it would be a good idea to throw him a big birthday bash with lots of alcohol. To make matters worse she invited a few relatives that she does not get along with. I knew right from the start that the party was going to turn sour real quick, so I tried to weasel my way out of going but my mom was prepared for this. All week long she played a massive guilt trip on me until I reluctantly agreed to show up.

The day of the party arrives and I show up about an hour late. I am surprised to see most of my family is already there and drunk. My mother’s sister (my aunt) who she does not get along with very well was the first one to greet me.

“Missy your late to your own brother’s party” she says with a condescending tone. Most of my family calls me Missy its short for Miss-know-it-all.
Her daughters (my cousins) chime in “I can’t believe school is more important than your own brother’s 21st birthday party” It is more important but I don’t want to give them the satisfaction of arguing so I politely excuse myself and walk away. I can hear them whispering about me behind my back but I don’t want to make the mistake of confronting them again.

Last year at another family party my cousin said something real catty about me loud enough for me and a few of my relatives to overhear. I was in a pissy mood so I decided to confront her about the remark she made in front of everyone who over heard it but to my surprise she denied ever saying anything bad about me and my relatives who overheard her backed her up completely. I know what I heard and I now know that it is useless to directly confront people who are passive-aggressive, it gets you nowhere.

My mother was not too thrilled that I showed up late but she was glad that I did come to the party. I asked her where my brother was so I could say Happy Birthday to him in person but she could not find him. A few minutes later I found him in the garage drinking with a few of his friends I could tell he was not enjoying this family get-together at all. Since we are all close in age I get along with my brother and his friends very well.

About thirty minutes later my mom barges in and pesters all of us for not being ‘social’. She then announces that everyone wants to sing happy birthday and cut the cake. I brace myself for another round badgering from my aunt and cousins. They are all pretty drunk now and tensions are high.

Things go pretty smoothly until we start singing happy birthday. Right in the middle of the song my aunt starts bawling for no apparent reason. Everyone stops singing and looks at her dumbfounded. She finally manages to blurt out one single word “Joey”

Joey was her youngest child, he was her only son and the pride and joy of her life. He died two years ago in Iraq. It was a real shock to everyone when he died, everyone misses him and the pain is still raw but I can’t help to think she wants some sort of sympathy fix. After all my aunt is a dramatic person and she loves to be the center of attention.

“Why can’t God kill me now, I have nothing left to live for” she says.
I feel kind of embarrassed and sad for my cousins who are standing right next to her but they don’t seem bothered by this. Everyone goes and tries to comfort my aunt the best they can but she only calms down when someone hands her another drink. I make a note to myself to leave pretty soon before this party gets any uglier.

We cut the cake and the tensions seem to subside. “Can you believe the nut jobs we have in our family.” My sister whispers in my ear. I am so surprised she said this that I just start laughing uncontrollably. I know what she said was not nice but I just can’t help myself. I fail to realize at this point everyone is looking at me.

“What is so funny?” my mother asks.
“Nothing.” My sister and I say in unison.
Its funny how when my other relatives talk bad about us no one says anything but if my sister or I say one little crack about our family everyone jumps down our throats.

Ten minutes later I decide to leave and I say goodbye to my brother and sister. When I try to say goodbye to my mother she berates me with a thousand questions.
“Why are you leaving so soon?”
“Where are you going?”
“What is more important than your brother’s birthday?”

As usual I am the last to arrive and the first to leave. Dealing with my family is emotionally draining and sometimes I just prefer to distance myself from them. For the most part they are good people but their dysfunctional lives creates a toxic environment.

10 Jobs That Pay 100,000 A Year

2006-08-22T15:57:00.000-07:00

Forbes has compiled a list of ten surprising jobs
that can pay you $100,000 a year.

Court reporter: Must be able to type 200 wpm. I can type 70 on a good day.

Professional (life or career) coach: Business or life coaches try to provide a confidence for struggling entrepreneurs or aspiring novelists. If you have to pay someone for confidence whats the point?

Mine manager: No advanced degree required but must be able to plan out procedures for mining projects, includes setting budgets and enforcing deadlines. Sounds boring and stressful.

Salesperson: Nothing was really mentioned on what kind products you must sell in order to earn 100,000 a year but I suspect drugs.

Truck driver: I have enough trouble driving my own car.

Pressman: Must be able to operates a printing press. I would probably fall asleep.

Technical writer: Must have a degree in English or technical writing. Sounds awfully boring.

Restaurant manager: Specific duties vary but most include the purchase of food and equipment, menu planning with the chef, and inspection of safety and health precautions. Not my cup of tea.

Air traffic controller: Must undergo rigid physical and psychological tests and have excellent vision, hearing, and speaking skills. I like to daydream a lot so I doubt I'd be qualified for this job.

Elementary school principal: All three of my school principles have had a stroke or heart attack while working. Coincidence I think not.
