Where’s The Party?

Friday, January 26th, 2007

Working Monday through Friday takes up all my time
If I can get to the weekend everything’ll work out just fine
Thats when I can go crazy, thats when I can have fun
Time to be with my baby time to come undone

Well peeps the work week ha sliterally sucked my balls. I have ben trying to get used ot this new schedule & who knew that working form 10-7 would screw me up so! But I gots to make that paper so whatevs right! Because I’ve been hardcore making plans about my life & what I need to do & things of that nature. I recently read this quote that just really struck me. It says:
No matter what you did…
No matter who you are…
No matter where you’ve come from…
You can always change
Become a better version of yourself.

So the other day we had a client meeting with Sprint & there was all this extra food so I was like, “Yay! I don’t need to eat my crappy turkey sandwich from home!” But if I didn’t eat it, then it would go to waste. So a thought entered my mind. There are always people on the streets of NY asking for something. Some money for food or whatever you could spare. So then I thought, “Hmmm how bout the next person I see on my way home I will offer my uneaten turkey sandwich.” So flash forward to me getting off the train on 14th st & 6th Ave & Voila! There on the corner is a rather tall black man, definitely looking homeless with his hands out. So I decide to go over to him. “Hi sir, if your hungry I have an uneaten turkey sandwich.” I pull it out of my bag just as he looks at it & says, “No fool! I hate turkey! Gimme some money so I can use it for some real shit to eat!” Well I’ll be damed! From Nice to SOB I went & I said, “Well fuck you then!” My sandwich may not be the best thing on earth but beggars can not be choosers! Bitches need to get right and don’t be stoopid! (as Rob would say) Honestly, I know not all people are this way. I was just so astounded that this would happen while I was trying to have a revelation.

So I guess I should just get back to what I was talking about. Its Friday & I plan on going out immensely. I feel like I’ve been so out of touch with some of my peeps lately. Jordan hopped on a plane & went down to Florida to see his family & spend time with them. So I am totes alone all weekend. He thinks I won’t miss him but Der! Don’t be stoopid I will! But, let me be honest I am so excited for some me, myself & I time. Hell, I’ll probably just dance around in my undies & play music half of the time! Tonight I plan on going to Pyramid for some 80’s music with Vadim, Larry & Ej with a few Poland Spring Bottles in my back pocket. Obvi they will be filled with Vodka that way I do not have to buy week ass drinks form the bartender with tha nasty attitude. MMmmhhmmm don’t be shocked, vadim & i have been doing this for ages now. I would do it at more places if I thought I could get away with it haha! The weather is extremely cold so I am def gonna need to have a buzz to walk around in it. Yes Jordan I know ur gonna be in 80 degree weather! Bitch! Suck my dick! (note from editor: he already does) Well then, suck it some mo!

Tomorrow night is all about some pre drinks at the apt before Roxy. It’ll be my grand return so I’m excited. On Sunday the crew wants to go to Brunch so I will most likely be up for that too. So Needless to say I will be drunk all weekend! Now is when I quote myself:
Goin out clubbin causing a commotion
While these chickens is ashe & I’m lotion
I like to do brunch with my crew on Sundays
By the next day hungover bitchin bout Manic Mondays

So yeah thats what it will be like. By Sunday we’ll all be talking about the crazy shizz that happenned the night before & who slept with who & who was macking on who. Just another day in the life of what its liek to be US.

Slow down you move too fast
Gonna make the good time last
Gonna let my hair hang down
I’m ready now!

Reflections & Looking Beyond

Thursday, January 4th, 2007

Its only the second week of the new year and already I feel overwhelmed. Its been a month since I last blogged & i didn’t even mean for that to happen. With the holidays & everything else going on I found myself having no time to even sit down & collect my thoughts. First things first, I guess I should talk about my being hired full time at the Ad agency that I’ve been at since June. So yes, after living in the temp world for a year now….baby will finally have some benefits! Now watch some dumbass cab driver hit me, that would be JUST my luck. So anyway, this is good news & its something I was wanting for forever because I liked my job. Semi-stress free, working with really cool people, having plenty of downtime to read my delicious celeb gossip sites, wathcing youtube clips, myspacing. I had no complaints. REMIX! Well, the powers that be decided to move me from such cushiness & keep that job for a temp. So now I’m on another floor. Where I’m being trained to fill the shoes for the girl who literally does EVERYthing in case she decides to leave this summer. Everyone knew this before me & I was literally told about it 2 days before our vacation. So I had about 5 mins really to think about it. I now have new hrs which have been a double edged sword in a way. I had planned on taking more dance classes & getting back into acting classes & the ones I were to take were all around 6pm. So naturally my new hrs are 10-7. So while everyone else was happy about this, I was like…ok. But, I’ve decided to try to not be Negative Nicky. Instead just look for other times for different classes. So, I’ll let you know how that goes. I should say that what i will miss most of all is 4pm happy hour my co-workers would have MANY a day. To all my hoochies on the 5th floor, have one mo for ur mo that can’t be thur!

Xmas seemed to approach like a storm & it left like one as well. One day while waiting for a train to work there were these 3 girls waiting for a train being all loud talking bout they mans & shit when this big black man in a santa hat goes, “Ho! Ho! Ho!” (while looking at them) Then one of the black girls looks at the Puerto Rican girl and says, “Oh I know he ain’t calling me a mutha fuckin ho! (turning to him)You betta keep on walking with ur stank ass breath!” Then he goes, “Merry Xmas!” And yes folks that is what Xmas in NY can be like. But it can also mean getting together with your friends & getting incredibly sloshed off of wine and calling each other hoes & bitches. This year I found that I shop for people better only after I buy myself something. Nothing major but hey, it is best to give right? But honestly, I got some good gifts and everyone seemed to be all about the gifts that I gave so I guess thats a good thing. On New Years Eve I had a party at the apt and it was also a party for my friend brad who’s bday is that day. There were a lot of new people there and also some peeps I ain’t seen in forever. It went over well. Me deejaying the hottest jams of the yr & the boys dancing, drinking & grinding. It always cracks me up to see when a new boy is brought to the mix. Well I should say a hot boy bc the gays will pounce on fresh meat like its a one day sale at Barney’s. I realize I ain’t been a part of that in ages now but damn! To quote New York from Flavor of Love, “I wish you an ounce of luck & kudos to you!” The party went on until almost 2 & then everyone decided to go their own ways. It was then that Jordan noticed that his Corporate Amex card was mysteriously missing form his wallet which had been put away in a drawer next to the bed. That is when my night was ruined. I think I was initially more angry then he was about it because I just refused to believe any of my friends could do this to me or him. Hell hath no fury like the NSP dissed or Mr. Cohen for that matter. I had my suspicions about who it was but I chose not to say anything until I could get some evidence. So the next day the guilty brought it back exclaiming they didn’t know how it got in their apartment because they were so drunk. Since this is a blog I am not gonna state the name since I read that you can actually get sued for defamation. So let me just put it like this….if you are my friend & you live in the city then you ALREADY know bc Jordan & I have told everyone! And once you tell one it goes everywhere! To those of you that don’t know, lets just say I’ve talked about this person plenty times before. Their nickname is taken from the wife of a very rcent deceased ex-president. Now if you still have no clue after that then you need to gimme a call & I’ll let you know! It sucks because we considered this person to be a really good friend but he should have thought of that when he took the card. So to that I say, “No Kudos to you & I do not wish you any ounces of luck.” Thanks, Nicks Management

For 2006 my slogan was ‘A Life Remixed in 06′ and I couldn’t have been more right. For ‘07 I haven’t really thought of a catchy phrase so I’ll just try to do my best to keep you up to date on the goings on of my life. The drama of late has kept me in a whirlwind. A friend of mine dislocated his shoulder and believe me E.J. I can understand your pain. One of my besties is also going through a break up so I’m trying to do my best to be there for him. Point of advice would be do not watch ‘The Break Up’ because its the feel bad movie of ‘06.

The first few months of a new year are (for me) jammed packed with bday celebrations. We just had a soiree for my friend Tom(of the Tom Tom Club). Next is my friend Larry & Ej. who share the same day. Then we got Ron. I swear in the next few months they’re gonna just keep coming. Which means I will be broke & probably nursing hangovers!

Originally I wanted to make this a little longer but honestly at this point I just can’t. I certainly hope that work gets a tad slower. But I highly doubt it. With that said, gotta run……mad love to you all!
