ZZZZZZZZ

So really that's isn't a word. But its an activity if that counts. I just finished working four 8 hour shifts in a row, and I am extremely happy to have Saturday off. Its not a regular occurrence to get a day in the weekend off, but they seemed to have forgotten that little fact, and thanks to me picking up hours this week they can now not ask me to work. So my plans? Sleeping and relaxing. I plan on getting up in the morning, making breakfast for my parents and then hanging out with a friend and watching movies. It should make up for the week I have had.

About this week as said in my post before that it was rough, but I am counting down the days until I get to go to Mexico for my brothers wedding and just lounge on the beach with my family. It will be a break away from everything. Also on the bright side one of my best friends will be working there when I return which should liven up my day a whole lot.

What are your plans for this weekend?

#%$!@

Yes, my title doesn't make sense, but that's because I don't have a word to emphasis my frustrations. Also these symbols often represent cursing. Of course I don't do that so this is an alternative.

Today at work was horrible. For one main reason. TRANSFER BUGGIES #%$!@ OK so that technically isn't a curse word in many of your eyes but it was just added to my inventory of words today. So the main concept of this idea is we have to transfer all items from the cart into another cart in order to make sure there is nothing hidden underneath. You must be thinking, 'well whats the problem? That's a good concept.' Wrong, I work at a bulk store, where everything you buy is LARGE! OK so for example, Fertilizer, Water, Pop, Flour is now double in size. Its crazy and we have to lift it! Normally here is where I would start doing 10 survival reasons but unfortunately I don't have any. So here is my 10 complaints.

1. 'Oh you don't want your large bags of fertilizer to far up the buggy? Hmm let me think about that. TOO BAD! I just lifted 4 bags of it into a different cart as part of my job, you have a problem with it you come move it yourself big strong man!'

2. Oh OK I see, you went shopping and while passing you picked up a nice hot chicken, thinking well I can eat this for dinner. But when you come up front, noooooo you can't by a $6 chicken so you make me go all the way back through the warehouse to drop it off and then complain that I didn't pack your cart.

3. OK so let me get this right, you want me to pack your cart but only in the way you want it done? Would it not be easier to do it yourself?

4. My Job. Is to PACK. Your Groceries. I am good at it. I will not put your eggs or bread at the bottom and then stack a box of peanut butter on top. So go back around to the other side of the till, and let me do. MY JOB!!!

OK so this is going to be a little bit of how to fix your day.

5. As your walking just accidentally pick up a glass container, look around and smash it on the floor. OK I never did that, but I was eyeing one today.

6. Ask your supervisor if they have a gun, a real one. If not then an arrow will do. This is the time for them to put you in the hospital. QUICK. NOW. DO IT!!!!!

7. Push carts. Now a lot of times this will just make you more upset, especially with how many idiots there are in the world. However the idea of pushing carts into each other forcefully is so peaceful and exciting its terrific!!!

8. SCREAM. Of course in your head. Otherwise everyone kind of looks at you funny. A way of hiding it is whistling!

9. Run. So we technically are not allowed to run in the warehouse for safety reasons but when a member wants a new cheese its kind of an excuse.

10. Finally for number ten, be like cyclops and just burn everything with your eyes. Take off those fancy sunglasses and GO!!!

So I apologize for my complaints or anything that may offend you. It was not intentional. Work has just been driving me crazy lately. I think its time for a change.

You

You, also now a days known as 'u' which is really teaching everyone to be illiterate. Hmmm, what is society coming to. Anyways, that's besides the point. 'You' can be used in several cases throughout life, such as if you forget someones name "Hey.....You." Its perfect! An easy way out of not knowing their name. However today's post is pretty generic and I wouldn't be surprised at the idea of several people writing about this idea.

You, yourself as a general person is very important. A lot of the time we are constantly looking to help someone else and make their lives easier, but really are we doing them any good if we don't take care of ourselves first? For example, am I really helping work if I got mentally insane? Which of course is exactly what work is doing. What about our health? Yes those brownies may taste good, but there is always portion sizes. Is it really that important to have that second helping of deep fried fries over your own personal health? We need to take care of ourselves first before we can help others.

So do yourself a favor and this weekend enjoy 'ur' life.

X-Men

So I got this idea from a guy at work, and considering I really never had any clue as to what I was going to write I am going to go with this one.

X-Men was created by Stan Lee and comes from Marvel. The main concept of this series is professor Xavier creates a safe haven called Westchester mansion where he finds people with super human powers and teaches them to use it for the greater good, and to prove to the world that heroes do exist. The reason for the name 'X' Men comes from the X Gene which provides these super human team with their specific talents, and was assumed to be caused by radiation exposure. Within the team was Professor Xavier, Cyclops, Jean Grey, Iceman, Angel, Beast, Storm, Wolverine and many more.

Just like any superhero story there was a rival team. The team that caused havoc for the world and believed it was the right thing, Magneto and the Brotherhood of Mutants.

Throughout the past four decades X-Men has travelled through from comics, TV series, Video Games, Book to the well known series of movies. They haven't been forgotten and never shall.

W is for Would You Rather

OK so a little game my friends and I like to play over text messaging is a game called 'Would You Rather.' Basically the idea of the game is you ask your friend a question to get to know them a little bit better. Your questions could be nice and cuddly such as 'would you rather hug a puppy or hug the person that means the most to you.' However because of who I am, and the friends I hang out with our questions really aren't that nice. They normally go in the context such as 'would you rather have a 1000 crickets in your room or have 1 tarantula in your house that you don't know where it is?' All these questions are normally ones that get the opponent to really think about what they want.

One of my best friends started this game with me a couple months ago, and it is normally just played between us, such as one day we played this game for 6 hours......yeah I know what your thinking, no life right? That would have to be correct. However I have taken the courtesy to extend this great game to a couple of my other friends, and of course because you eventually run out of ideas yourself it sometimes includes the whole family. You start off asking a would you rather, and then once answered by the opponent then it is their turn to ask the question.

Try it out! Here is a few examples:

1. Lose a finger or jump head first into a pool of tobacco spit
2. Take the life of someone unknown by pushing a button or losing the love of your life
3. Get exactly what you wished for in life or be able to have the power to give someone you care about what they have always wanted

V is for Vicious

You can have many topics that start with vicious. Such as vicious fish, including the blow fish to sharks. You can talk about vicious people such as managers, to people you meet on the street. However I am going to talk about vicious circles.

Many times are mind goes around and around in a vicious circle. Such as the purpose of a rose in a romantic relationship: "she loves me, she loves me not." Or our vicious circle of life, we can hate life at one moment and completely see no purpose in it, and then the next minute everything makes sense. This happens to me a lot of the time. Some people must think I am bi-polar but the truth is that I am a stereotypical girl, who just can't make up her mind. I can completely fall for someone one moment and then the next not understand why. Or one minute completely love work or look optimistic about school but then hate it. This vicious circle is what completes many people. If we didn't have the indecisiveness where would we be? Living like smurfs in a smurf hut. Okay so I am rambling. So right now the vicious circle comes with school. Should I take another year off and go to the better school? Hmmm, what do you all think. Toronto film school where the best success story I heard was a student writing for the TV show Flash point or to a school where students made District 9? Should I pay $30000 for a year and go to Toronto or $60000 and go to Vancouver?

U is for Unique

So my post is extremely late, considering it is Sunday night and this was suppose to be written yesterday. However being extremely busy this weekend I hope you guys will forgive my glitch.

So I have been told many times that I am unique. Now a lot of the time it is said in a way that would question if its an insult or just a statement. In the end I always assume its a statement. I have a very unique understanding of life, and whats planned for everyone while were here. Back a couple years ago, I knew friends were important, but I just figured that eventually I would lose all my current friends, so what was the point of prolonging the inevitable? The way I looked at it, was that in each faze of your life you would have a different set of friends that appeal to what your doing. Also that life should not be taken for granted. We are all going to die, one way or the other. However we do have a choice of which way we are going to go out. In my opinion why not take risks in life? Your going to die anyways you mind as well go out with a bang doing something you love.

Such as, in life I want to experience different types of pain: shot, stabbed, hit by a car, breaking a bone, falling through glass. I always think that there is terrible things in this world. If you experience them all then there will be no surprises.

Now when in comes down to friends I was seriously mistaken. I have terrific friends now, from both work, and old friends from when I was in school. I don't normally freak out, but the idea of meeting new people scares me. What if I meet new people and end up losing the friends I have now? Could be possible. I don't know my limit, and I am sure I have one, after all I am not really that great with groups. Yesterday I was so busy cause I was preparing for one large hangout. This past week was my birthday and the way I thought I would celebrate it was to hang out with everyone that I enjoy. It was fun, I enjoyed hanging out with them. However I found that in groups I am really quiet. Why? Well I don't really know, maybe its because there are funnier people there, that would just make me look like an idiot. Or maybe its the fact that when I am with different people I am slightly different, to accommodate to them. So when everyone joins together I don't know how I am suppose to act. Anyways I had a good time, and as much as I didn't get to do all the things I was hoping to, I did get some great photos.

There is always something unique
