Belief

So today at work something pretty funny happened.

There are these two ladies that come in everyday and they always yell so loud and laugh like hyenas and are overall just obnoxious. They are never rude to us, but they just have zero self-awareness.

SO today while serving them the first drink came up as an Eggnog Latte and I made it and gave it to the girl - standard.

THEN the next girl asked for a Reduced Fat Eggnog Latte, saying she would give it a shot. I looked down in my fridges and upon seeing that we didnt have any RFE, decided that I would just fake it. So I made it regular and put it up on the bar. Now because these ladies have their conversations at around the same level as a MegaDeath concert I was able to witness this awesome exchange:

Lady 1: So hows the RFE Latte?

Lady 2: (drinks and pauses) its actually so good!

Lady 1: NO WAY! Let me taste it!

Lady 2 and Lady 1 swap drinks - tasting eachothers

Lady 1: Its not bad! The taste is a little less full and rich, but its still ok!

Lady 2: Oh I can definately tell the difference between the regular and this, but I'm definately not complaining.

It's funny how powerful a thing belief can be. She believed the taste would be different and so even after tasting her own drink and her friends (BOTH IDENTICAL) she still was convinced they were different. I let them walk away without saying anything because lets be honest:

Who couldn't use a little more Reduced Fat in their life?

I'm so fly I give angels dey wings

Why do people use their facebook statuses to tell everyone how great they are?

If your really convinced that your so awesome - then your arrogant.

If your trying to convince others - your insecure and obviously crave acceptance.

Facebook is supposed to be a social networking site....but I bet if I went there right now, I can bet at least 4/5 statuses would be song lyrics, apps, or just some ambigious phrase that makes them sound deep. Lets go see....

The first two were just nonesense. The next 3 were actually KIND OF telling me something about their lives. I admit defeat....sort of. Maybe I overexaggerated, but I think we all know just how much of this we see on facebook. I think its annoying.

Seattle

Get excited to see my jaw make a surprise appearance on So You Think You Can Dance this year... because this thing pops and locks like nothing you've ever seen. Want to know why? Read on!

So my best friend Mr. Glendon Prince George came down to Vancouver for an unforgettable 3 days. So here it comes: fast and furious, 3 days of awesome.

-met Glendon down at the Quay, walked 16 blocks uphill in the freezing rain until we stole into Starbucks and scored us some grande soy white mochas. That 'bones was life changing.

-Created a sick dynasty on NHL 09 and did that for a while until the floor hockey game. I scored 2 goals on some wristers and notched another assist. Then G and I out-sleuthed a skunk and stayed up painfully late.

-Greyhound to Seattle blah blah blah lots of sleeping

-Walking the streets of Seattle, Fox Sports Grill for supper, visit Pike Place Market and visit the first bones ever, do some shopping, then Glendon and I bus to the concert venue.

-We sit through the horridity of Finch and Drop Dead Gorgeous, meet Beau Bokan and Eric Lambert, scalp a ticket and then get ready for Blessthefall. From the opening song I just went wild. The crowd was completely amped and we had a sick time. At one point I got so hot I took off my sweater and threw it on stage. THEN for the encore I fought my way past the crowd and jumped on stage. Just as they were starting the breakdown I grabbed my sweater and jumped out into the crowd. My timing and jump-judgement was hilariously awful as I cleared the crowd and went face first into the concrete floor in the middle of a circle pit. Actually I went jaw first. and Im pretty sure its broken because my teeth no longer line up. And my face hurts. And it pops and locks. And after being stomped half to death - I came up and realized I no longer had a sweater. And to re-iterate my FACE HURTS!!!!

-Sleep then a greyhound back home. Glendon and my dynasty comes crashing down. Im super frustrated, then walk G to the bus stop, where my parents call me and say a lot of angry things.

Now I'm dead tired....cant wait to sleep.

Funerals

Today was a strange day.

Worked at 4:45 am, got off and paid some bills, called Best Buy and tried to figure out the deal with my shipment, then went to a memorial service for Raisa's grandpa. It was sad and moving, even though it wasn't even someone I knew who had passed away. I always hurt when others are hurting. That's not a great characteristic, considering there's a lot of pain in the world.

Today at work someone told me they hated me. Thats such a harsh term to hear, people throw it around like it means nothing. The best part? It's all because at a party some girl got the impression I was a "douche", and then when I talked to a mutual friend about it they went back to that girl and told them I wasn't how they initially thought. Now they're accusing me of turning their friends against them. I get tired of people focusing on such stupid things. You can always tell someone who doesn't have real problems or real issues by what gets to them. The people sitting in the room of that memorial today would not have gotten mad and talked behind someone's back just because their niece came in with her nose pierced - because things like that just don't mean anything when you have real problems.

If anyone from work reads this, do not talk about it. By bringing it up again and asking more questions, you'd reopen wounds. This is just my thought on life intended for my Edmonton family. Thats what you all are :)

It's Harder To Blog Than I Thought...

Man, with all the stuff I've got going on I find it's hard to find time to keep up with my blogging. But here we go!!!!!

Right now I'm watching Community, Parks and Recreation and The Office. Thursday night is the greatest night for TV ever. And so I figured I'd catch up on my blog, because I am clearly great at multi-tasking.

So I made the cut for my floor hockey team - The Sharks! We had our first game tuesday, and I notched an assist (to my brother in law....not bad way to fit in the family huh?) in the incredibly rough win. Also the other day I played drums for a dude I met....it was a little rough (I haven't played in FOREVER) but it was so much fun. Would do it again in a second.

Glendon will be here in just a short few days...so excited!

I saw Regina Spektor in concert in this huge old opera house. That was dope. I wonder, how is it possible that some people have so little going on in their heads? Its frustrating that a certain person I am often obligated to see has about one conversation that she recycles endlessly. Not cool.

Well I gotta get back to this awesome show, be good and let me know how YA'LL ARE DOING!
