Eh.

ATM Machine – Eh.
It’s not a damn Automatic Teller Machine Machine.

My neighbor (mid 30’s?) says this one all the time to his son: "Don’t forget your MP3."… Eh. It's an MP3 player.

Eh.

06.15.1999

"Death always comes too early or too late". In this case, too early.

This Friday will mark the day my best friend died 8 years ago.
Robert ‘Snider’ Williams. Everyone called him Snider when I met him. Sounds gay but he was the coolest person I’ve ever known at the time I met him. He moved across the street from me when I was 10 years old (he was two years older).

He basically taught me everything I needed to know (street wise) throughout the years. I didn’t grow up in Compton but my neighborhood was no joke. He had my back since day one and always looked out for me. He got me out of countless problems, yet, he got me into some as well.

I learned a lot about graffiti from him. His tag name was ‘Glos’. He loved the word, something about things that were brand new and glossy fascinated him.

Well on that day in June back in 1999, he wanted to go to Checkers which was about a mile and a half away from our house. I told him to wait for me because my mom was calling me, yet he started walking without me and yelled, “HURRY UP!”

I heard rapid gun fire, but you hear that all the time in that area so I didn’t think it had anything to do with him. I was helping my mom bring in some clothes from the back yard. I see this big commotion down at the end of the street corner. To sum it up, he was shot 6 times…why? Good question.

I blamed myself for the longest time, if I called him into my house…he wouldn’t have gotten shot. Then I blamed him for a while wondering why did he have to be so damn stubborn? Why couldn't’t he wait for me? But I guess god really needed him up there. It was his time to go.

I made this to commemorate his death. I’ve kept this from a lot of people who are currently in my life. But a good friend told me I shouldn't’t. I should rejoice his life and reminisce the good times and not the bad. R.I.P.

I beg your pardon?

It's late. The only thing open around the way is 7/11. The store clerk and myself are the only two in the store.

There are some cookies by the cash register that look good. I grab one pack of the chocolate chip to feel if they were soft or hard as a rock. I asked the chick, "Are the cookies fresh?" and she replied, "Sorry, I got a man." ............................WTF!?

I said, "Excuse me?" and she replied with the same answer. I then said, "I asked if the cookies were fresh, what the hell does that got to do with you having a man?" and she replied, "Oh im sorry, I thought you asked for my number." Wow. Someone is a little too full of themselves. I guess a lot of guys ask the little ghetto girl for her number. She’s like a mix between Lisa 'Left eye' Lopez (R.I.P.) from TLC with Keisha Cole…but Hispanic lol.

Eh.

Irritations at work

It annoys me when people stuff everything into an Excel Spreadsheet.

Ok, spreadsheets are for numbers, numberos, numbre. That's why Bill Gates invented it, that's what they're good for. Just because you can paste paragraphs and paragraphs of crap (text) into a cell doesn't mean you should. It screws up keyboard navigation, makes things impossible to print out, and makes cutting and pasting incredibly annoying. Please stop. Just get over your silly fear of a blank page and having to think that because you're typing a document your inability to type coherently can be concealed by stuffing things into a grid of cells and color-coding everything to the point that it becomes unreadable.

I loathe this place more with each day that goes by.

Random

I don't know what to write about right now so I’ll just post random thoughts for the meanwhile, bare with me.

Dying sucks. What do you think is the worst way to die? Here are some:





1. Piss off a Cannibal.
2. Chug cleaning supplies.
3. Piss off O.J. Simpson.
4. Stab yourself along several major arteries and slowly bleed to death.
5. Use telekinetic powers to make your house collapse on top of you.
6. Give yourself a homemade tattoo with a toxic silver pen.
7. Fill up the bathtub. Grab a toaster and plug it in. Get in the bathtub and bring the toaster with you. Push down the button.
8. Jump off a high building and aim carefully to impale yourself on a lamppost or something.
9. Smash your head in with a hammer.





I hate the stupid messages at the beginning of DVDs. I get that piracy is breaking the law and that Paramount, MTV, and 20th Century Fox made the damn movie I’m TRYING to watch but they don't need to take all the time out of my life to tell me this. I can't skip through it either, it tells me 'invalid key' with the newer DVD’s. The worst one is the 'Downloading movies is a crime' one. No, the music is NOT cool, it's wack, you are doing nothing more with the gay music than pissing me off. As a matter of fact, far from stopping me from burning movies, I might do the opposite in spite of that and sell burned DVD's at work.




Abortion. I think that women should be allowed the choice of bringing a life into the world or not. For whatever reason, it's not right to bring a child into this world if the mother does not want it in the first place or isn't willing or able to provide for it. Not only will it ruin the child’s life but also the mother's as well. One of the two could have a fulfilling life with an education, career and reputation that is hassle free but not if the mother does not want the child. Shit happens, I agree that there are no 'accidents' but it's not right to make people pay for their stupidity. By abolishing abortion, people aren't helping the situation any further. We MUST start teaching kids the truth. And the truth is that pregnancy is caused by having s e x. Birth Control is not full proof nor does it ease responsibility. Some types of contraception are almost 100 percent accurate. Unfortunately, humans aren't. Most chicks I know have had at least one 'scare' in their life and this is born out here time and time again. There should be little need for abortion if people would wise up to the simple facts of life. If you have sex...with or without birth control... you may get pregnant.




I went to church yesterday. A friend of mine has been inviting me for the longest but I’ve always found a way to blow it off. I decided to give it a shot and I’m glad I did. This church isn’t your traditional church (it’s not even inside a church). I saw people who don’t care about what you wear to church, people who are open and liberal, people who welcome you in no matter the situations, and I saw the future of religion for youths. Call me crazy but I think conventional religion will eventually die down due to the free thinking younger generation. I’ll end it here or else this post will never conclude.
