hey there

Well this weekend I've been apartment sitting and dog sitting for my sis while she is out of town. I had a pretty good birthday this past Wednesday hanging out with friends at my fav place Subzero, Thursday I had a busy night, Friday I went to Wellston High School last home game ever to be played for Basketball. They played against Clayton, the JV won, the V lost but they played one of the best games I've seen. Yet the ref's were absolutely horrible. Even another person that is normally a ref for the district saw the game and was like it was some of the worst referring he had seen also. Regardless I'm proud of them and the effort they put out in playing.

On Saturday I woke up early to take my sis to the airport, but hell she still missed her flight. I went to the gym with my mom and did a bootcamp class, wasn't too much fun and afterwards went to the mall to go to Dick's sporting goods to pick up some heavier weights since the ones I have no longer area challenge to me. Then I walked the mall a few times since I hadn't been out at the Mid Rivers mall for a while. I then went to the Best Buy right next door and saw a few people that I recognized and had some good talks with them, also bought a game for my ps3, I REALLY need to get back into my gaming, then I went home to get dressed, I had been gone so long, I hadn't had time to relax before getting myself together to get with my girls, Amy and Hannah who I've known since Kindergarten, we met out in South County and had dinner and then went to a roller derby which is pretty damn cool.

We also have our own league here in St. Louis http://www.archrivalrollergirls.com , and they are going to soon start a men's league, I told my girls to let me know when they play next. This is definitely an interesting sport.

So today is Sunday and I've been at home just listening to the rain which I absolutely love, probably will chill indoors today, or I might try to go to the gym and workout but right now I'm just watchin some TELLY;)

Enjoy your day, I plan on enjoying mine.

Why I'm about to throw my laptop

I'm up right now dealing with my laptop and Im so fed up with it I'm about to throw it at the wall. It's so frustrating sometimes to deal with old ass technology when you know something new and better is currently it out. Take for instance my sister called me and she FINALLY has found out about Skype. I've had the program on my laptop for about 2 years, never had a problem with it, UNTIL NOW. She was online wanting to talk to me, and so I try to go online and it wouldn't connect, so I upgrade the software and pray that will fix the problem. nada so I restart my laptop and even take my firewall down to see if that will fix the problem. again nothing works, so I finally said fuck it I'm done and just deleted Skype off my laptop.

I can't stand when something you are used to all the time just for no reason bails out on you, sounds like relationships. Anyway, for those who normally would see me on Skype, this is my farewell message, I'm not fucking with that garbage anymore, if you want to see and talk to me it will have to be through GoogleTalk, my username is MsJazz79.

What a day makes

Well good evening/night/morning, from where you might be, right now I'm watching Morel Orel (cartoon network for those not of my world ;)) I had work today as usual but while at work I was thinkin about the months ahead and what i want to do. I've obviously have been looking for a new job since the announcements were made in December about all employees in my school district being let go as of June 30th, 2010.

I'm wondering do I still want to stay in the educational field being an administrative assistant because the hours go well with me working out and taking college courses. After work today I went up to UMSL to speak with my counselor because I think I have FINALLY decided on a major and possibly even a minor. So spoke with her for about 20 minutes and she helped me out to make sure if that is the field I want to go into. So I have further reading to do, to make sure it's the route i want to take.

So after that I went home and chilled out, then went to Best Buy to take in my laptop because the AC adapter that I received as a replacement, had fried on me, at least that's what I thought. I get to the store and the tech tries it out and what do you know....the sucker worked. Yet I also told him my battery wasn't holding a charge like it used to, so he put in an order request. Afterwards I went home and I've been chillin ever since.

This weekend I have my family's annual mardi gras party to look forward to. So I plan on enjoying on myself on Saturday, recouping on Sunday and back on my grind Monday.

Just an absent thought for those who watch cartoon network ADULT SWIM like myself, I wish they would take the music from the Adult swim commercials and put them on a cd, they sound interesting;)

New Year possibilites

Well, as this new year comes through most people are trying to make new promises to themselves in regards to how they can become a better human being. Then again you have people who couldn't give a flying leap and think what they were last year is just going to carry over into 2010.

I for one really want to get a handle on my weight. I was doing boxing and racquetball last year and loved it but had stopped because of an injury. Then once I was better I was too engrossed with other stuff to make it a priority. I'm 30 years old yet I feel so much older because of the weight on my frame.

Another goal of mine is to get back into college and REALLY finish up my degree. I've learned from being in my current job that it's not what I want to do for the rest of my life and further more you can never get comfortable with your current surroundings because you alway risk having the rug pulled out from under you. Also it made me appreciate why I need my education and to finish. I feel I am more focused than when I was fresh out of high school. I hated college because of my experiences in high school, I didn't know how to really interact with people especially guys. Now having worked at my present job, I can honestly say that I have obtained a backbone I have never had and quite frankly I have the students and parents of the community to thank for that. lol

Yet my biggest problem is that I'm still wondering what I want to do. So I plan on going to either UMSL (University of Missouri Saint Louis) or the Saint Louis Public Library downtown and taking an aptitude test, to see exactly what I'm good at doing. Another challenge will be trying to find scholarships, not trying to do the loan thing. Yet I really can't see about that until I do my income taxes in February.

Also have to start job hunting to see what's out there. Since where I currently work all employees will lose their jobs on June 30th, 2010. I will definitely try to find a job that works 7:15 am to 3:15 pm, those hours I know will benefit me with school and working out. It's not like retail where I didn't know what my schedule was and it was never consistent.

I also plan on writing more often in my blog. I used to be really on top of this but have let it slip to the sidelines. So here is my first post of the new year. I wish you all well and take care;)

Just wondering

Boy its been a minute since my last post. First semester is almost done at the high school, Thanxgiving is coming up next week, with Christmas right around the corner. House is finally done being rehabbed, still need to get some more pics up though.

This year has been quite different for me. I've become more reserved than I have been in the past. Everyone has their demons I suppose, mine are just a little bit more persistent.

I've changed, probably not for the better, but so be it. Until the next episode.
