Look Ma... I'm blogging!!

Can you believe it!! I have a minute to blog... Yaaaaaaay! That said, I don't have much to talk about. Hmmmm... ok. I'll find something.

1. I got my study books in the mail for my ACSM test. (American College of Sports Medicine, personal trainer exam) For those of you that know, I spent six months studying anatomy for yoga so initially I felt like this test would be a breeze. I opened the books and everything I already know... was in the first chapter. And the other 13 chapters are what look like hieroglyphics and strange mathematical equations. Thank God I'm a smart cookie, otherwise I don't think I would have had the courage to swallow back the puke in my mouth and try to actually learn the stuff. Also, Big Daddy is taking the test with me so at least I have the worlds best study buddy.

2. For some reason sound travels really strangely in my building. The rooms are pretty much sound proof within the apartment itself..... yay for us considering we have like 6 of us living here right now. However, we can hear every minute of the wild Mexican fiestas from next door and every scream from my upstairs neighbors who apparently watch nothing but Jurassic Park over and over. I actually looked over at the glass of water near my bed and saw the sound ripples. Worse yet if it isn't the T-Rex clomping upstairs they have on televangelist music that has the same 5 reverberating chords in the base line for every song..... obviously my favorite thing to wake me up at 10am when I got home from work at 4.

3. Funniest thing ever: One of the new girls at work came up to my manager and asked.."Hey this guy ordered a bottle of champagne and asked where he could throw up in the same sentence... should I serve him?" The really funny part is the manager said YES!!

4. Verizon is experiencing a national outage for some of their pda services... so I can't send texts. Super!

5. The Amoralist theater company's show, "The Pied Pipers of the Lower East Side" opens this evening. The next post will be an add for them.

6. I am missing my friends more than ever... Tigerlily and Boss!! I miiiiisss you. I was on a really good clip where I was socializing almost every other week with you cool kids. This is always the crappy part of the summer where they have us work too much until they get the hang of the way the season rolls. Hopefully, by then you will still want to be friends with me.... Whaaaaa!

That's pretty much it kids.. I'll be back when the universe gives me a few more seconds of free time.

Survival mode

Soooo.... I tried to put up a post from my blackberry. Uhhh.. THAT was a failure, Lol. It resulted in a post that was entirely blank. Classy.

As says the title that is currently the mode I'm in. I'm working too much too often and pretty much want to kill myself. As you may have guessed from my last post. My job is the last place on the planet I want to spend any amount of time and I have been stuck there 40+ hours a week. The only thing that has been keeping me from jumping off the rooftop is the fact I now have an exit strategy. I have books coming in the mail to help me study for the American College of Sports Medicine Cpt exam. The minute I get them I'm going to devour them.... just to be doing something active to get myself into a better work environment will feel amazing. I'm so sick of having anxiety before every shift. I also can't wait to resume my life.... see my friends especially and perhaps have an actual weekend off!!

Today was amazingly one of my lighter days schedule wise... after my work study shift at TBG. I helped Big Daddy and the Amoralists set up for their show at PS122. More to come on the performance. While there I was introduced to a couple of YouTube gems I thought I would pass on.

1. The Literal Video of Total Eclipse of the Heart. Hilarity... the lyrics are what is going on in the video. This reminds me fondly of karaoke.. sigh... November

2. Dimitri the Stud. Let me just say that this man is KING of the douchebags and I'm sure he holds court at the Ganz. If I haven't served this man I drink I would be shocked.

Enjoy!
