Is that a Toblerone in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me.

Another Day in the Life

So, do you all ever think about how lucky we are to have the people we have in our lives, actually in our lives. I’ll admit that some days, i just want to punch them in the face and say sorry. I’m not sorry. But thats what makes us friends. If i didn't want to punch them in the face some days i would seriously be re-considering our friendship. They challenge me as a person and i feel like as friends, thats what they should do. As our friendship grows we learn more about each-other and grow together as individuals. We work together when things get tough and then we keep powering through even the worst days. 

The way i look at life, everyday is a new adventure. Some days just aren't as adventurous as others. In fact they’re just plain boring. But not every day. Today i woke up at about 3:30 pm (which is fairly early for me because i’m on the night shift at work) anyhow i managed to get things done to day. I cleaned my apartment and organized some stuff that i had messed up from when i moved back in August. Things still are not quite all the way there yet, but thats fine, i don’t need things to be insanely organized. Looking back on today, it has been a pretty good day. 

Constantly maintaining a work and personal life balance is a lot of work for normal people who work 9-5. But when you work 7-3:30 AM things tend to get a little interesting. I mean, i live with my best friend who i will refer to as the Half-Lesbian or L for short. I usually get home from work around four am and thats on a good day. I got to bed at around eight am and then sleep until five. Then i wake up to an empty bed because my boyfriend who i will refer to as M had to go to work or school. At that time L is usually at work or busy napping. So i don’t see M or L a lot throughout the week. 

Today when L got off work from the club, we talked about our days and about i feel accomplished because i got something done that i have needed to do for a long time. L had a shitty day at work because she feels like one of the guests from the club is out to get her. I don’t mean like to kidnap or something, but rather out to get her fired. This guest is totally rude and thinks that they can have what ever they want if they scream loud enough. Some times when i see someone throwing a fit in a store, i think that people must feel entitled as a person. I imagine that as a child with a rattle throwing a fit and shaking a rattle middle aged women throw a fit and shake their bags, they trade in the rattle for something with a little more power. 

So tonight we decided to go to a movie, L and i sat on the couch and watched probably 5-6 trailers. Finally we narrowed down the choice to either Kingsman or Mother!. We waited for M to get home before we decided. I think L really wanted to see Kingsman because as she put it “Taron Egerton makes her squirm.” Not quite sure this gay wants to know that that means. It must mean that he is really attractive and he does things the the downstairs. But when M got home we decided that we should go get Mexican food and then go see Mother!. 

We went out and got some Mexican food at a restaurant that i call El Puta. I call it this because that is what the name sounds like to me. But they have what i consider mediocre Mexican food. I mean its not that bad, but when i go to a restaurant, i don’t got only to eat, but i go for the environment and then to eat. This place just doesn't give me a great vibe. But anyway the salsa tasted like canned tomatoes and everything was just really bland. Sorry M&L. I know this is your favorite Mexican restaurant in the city but, to me it sucks. Anyway the food wasn't as bad as the last time i ate there when i didn't get what i ordered. I feel bad for complaining but shit, just get my order right. 

So we all went to the theater to see Mother!. But before we go there, of course we go to Target to stock up on some cheap candy rather than buying it at the movies. Thank god we have L because if i would have smuggled that candy in myself. As L so gracefully put it people would be saying, “is that a Toblerone in your pocket are you just happy to see me.” The answer is there is a Toblerone in my pocket.. Oops, sorry Regal, but yo shit is expensive. I say as i paid $15.75 for a soda and popcorn. 

Anyway so we watch Mother! and i have to say that Jennifer Lawrence is stunning as usual and gave a fantastic performance. However weird that movie was. The movie really does make you think and look beyond what is going on in the movie and pick up the hints and place them all together. I have to say that this movie made us talk and think about the underlying meaning of this than i would like to admit. In fact i’m still thinking about how involved i am with this movie. The theme we picked up with the movie is a biblical theme, which is weird because L& I are both Atheists. You wouldn't expect Atheists to have this much knowledge about the bible, however we do. 

So we all get back to L&I’s apartment and we sit and discuss the movie and then end up watching Lady Gaga’s carpool karaoke video. Which if you have not seen it yet, it is fantastic. This pretty much sums up my day, now i’m just sitting here, on my day off, eating my Toblerone, while the rest of America sleeps. I know that this is just the starting place with my career at this company, it will help me in the long run. But it is a really lonely existence. I get to see all my friends out having fun at night while i’m stuck at the office on a conference call with China. Things are looking up, i finally got a day shift at work last week and ill start in mid November. So things will improve by then. But for now i sleep, i work, i type, and i hope that things will all turn out okay.
