Hey guys,
I also have a personal blog that I keep up regularly. Please stop by and provide feedback and
such. www.jenqi.blogspot.com
I am determined to have a productive week so that I can go spend a vast amount of money this weekend at Birch Run. Now if only I could get the waking up part down, it'd be great. It is hard to wake up when you are unexcited about where you're going to after you leave your apartment.

Feeling Old
Wow, so I forgot about our blog until Friday when Jenny and Billy reminded me and asked why I hadn't posted anything.....so here I go.
So in my mind 23/22 isn't old, but apparently I've aged a lot in the past 7 months. It was a little disturbing how a few high schoolers at the One Republic concert made us feel out of place. Then at Apple mountain I got told off by a 5 year-old for falling down twice on the tow rope...."What's your problem?!" isn't something I expected from someone who isn't 4 feet tall yet. So much for being young and hip. Maybe it was because we were on the bunny hill, but there were a lot of annoying kids. It strikes me as funny that we think of high schoolers as kids now and talk about how teens have no respect. It sounds like we're 55 or 60.....or maybe we've just been brainwashed by Midland, who knows.

Actor/actress re-visions
You ever watch a movie and then re-watch it years later and go "hey, she was in that?" I had just such a moment tonight while watching Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. Serena from Gossip Girl is one of the characters; she's the sassy soccer player who hits on her coach. Another actor that I later realized was in movies was Patrick Dempsey from Grey's anatomy. After rewatching Sweet Home Alabama post Grey's seasons, I realized he's the fiance.

Obama Biased Media
If you haven't read about it yet. Michelle Obama commented "For the first time in my adult lifetime I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change." on Monday, Feb 18.
And obviously it has drawn a whole lot of criticism about this statement. You might argue that it might be taken out of context. But no matter what context it is in, it's very offensive.
Yet, this has not hit any headlines in any media. Even when Hillary standing up for Chelsea, when someone call Chelsea out, drawn much more attention than this.
It seem like everything that Obama does is amazing and positive, including his plagiarism; everything that hillary does is offensive, demeaning, and negative.
I still cannot understand why the media are so biased.
What was obama's supporter thinking and where's their logic? I would loved to be enlightened.

Value Menu
I just realized that 4 pieces Chicken McNugget from McDonald's Dollar Menu is a great BUY!
Since a 10 pcs cost 2.99, they actually gypped you 50 centS!

so i heard midland county laid off a whole bunch of people earlier this year, which explains why the speed for clearing the road around here are so slow. Apartments, though, are even worse. My landlord supposively does not have people plow snow unless the snow is thicker than 2 inches. But, if it's still coming down, say in the next day or two, he will ignore all the snow that is already on the ground, and just waiting till it's all done to plow. This is CHEATING!!!!
I myself nearly flew into the air and landed on my butt also Sunday night, thanks to my no-traction sneakers.... it was a funny dance i did that saved my butt. Today i went to the dentist, some lady came in for an emergency. She fell on ice, and landed on her front teeth while screaming ah....i think, so she came in with a bloody towel covering her mouth. it was like...wow... coming thru! toothless lady! I got my night guard fited today! yay! no more teeth grinding!
Ice
Ugh! I walked out of my house and slipped on a piece of ice as I was trying to get to my car door. So then I flew backwards and landed on my butt and my purse contents went scattered all in the snow. So then I had to dig out the items. Freakin' landlord needs to plow the apts. I was so careful last week too walking with my hand against the car, but then it snows last night so covers up all the ice. Yea, first rat year injury, I guess.
Then I realized I have no gas in my car. So had to stand in the cold pumping gas which is 3.19 now. All this because I was greedy and waiting for the gas to drop to 2.89 but it went up instead. Not a fan of Midland this morning. Not at all. I am writing so much, you guys need to post.

I cannot believe I am so tired. Anyways, I started a poem, but it sucks, but I will still post it, and maybe later I will post the revised and extended version.
Come live in our diverse community,
the voices chanted.
See the endless opportunities
in the city of modern explorers.
So she followed the voice
and almost missed-
her destination
except for the unmistakable sign
The City of Modern Explorers.
Where? where are the explorers?
and does a city hide
beneath the endless grasslands?
can opportunities spring
forth through hoards of snow,
that not even the slicing wind
can move with its wrath
And come summertime,
can the warmth in the short months
thaw deception which stretches
its icy fingers into the minds of newcomers.

googleland and monkey business
gees, can google comes up with more things??? don't answer it...
great work Jenny J, now we have our own publication to take down the midwest with vegence!!!
hahaha... it's so funny, jenny asked me "do you like to write"... you should ask me if i like to bitch... i would have said, yes, let's have a blog so i can express myself... angrily...
writing therapy has been proven to reduce freak outs at work. it is science baby!
I went to TX over the weekend to visit my mom and my ungrateful cousin...can't wait to kick her out someday! Anyhow, long story short, she apparently went on a date friday night, and then got her purse stolen out of this guys car. (i was laughing my behind off...)
the funny part is, she was being all mysterious about it, which i don't see what the big deal is about going on a date. no body knew she was going on a date friday night, come 11PM my mom is all worried that she's not home.... which again, why? the girl is like 28 yrs old. I knew about her secret date through... let's say "unorthodox" method of snooping around. so of course i can't tell my mom that... so i kept my mouth shut.
than come midnight, my mom is in freakout mode, started calling monkey's cell phone (my cousin) like 100 times. My mom got a call back from monkey's cell, except the person was not monkey, it was a "hispanic" male - according to my mom. Then this person hung up the phone, and my poor mother now really is freaking out! She started calling monkey's friends at work and such... and i was like... interesting, wonder if i should speak up now.... but i did NOT.
Monkey showed shortly after, and told us her purse was stolen at a GAS STATION. Someone broke into her dates car and took her purse. I was like, oh... that makes sense i suppose. Then... through "unorthodox" method of snooping around, i found out really, this happened right outside the guy's apt. so... yea HAHAHAHAHA i guess the night's plan FELL THROUGH...
TO make matters worse, the retarded cousin came home after reporting to the police and went to sleep! it's like HELLO??? what about damage control...
Sure enough, next morning my house kept getting all these phone calls from credit card company, banks and such, reporting "unusual activity" in her account... so again HELLO??? why would you sleep on such an emergency????
Anyhow, it was entertaining somewhat, my poor mom ends up changing all the locks, because this monkey also lost her keys with the address and everything!
comments welcome!
