like opening a door that has an object obstructing your ways of getting through, what do you do? first instinct; push. estimate the amount of force needed. still can't get through? shove.
from the way i was brought up, i learned that if you have a goal, don't let anyone.. ANYONE.. tell you "you can't do it". nothing is impossible. [without god]*. hence the cheryl-trait: "i'm not taking No for an answer"
okay, so i might use that quote for things doomed for failure. i find out the hard way. nevertheless, a learning experience. a little dumb, but you'll never know unless you try. right? ughhh here comes the quotes again..
dude i'm hungry.
anywho. the holiday season has arrived. ^_^. homey, hot cocoa/green tea, sweats, socks, a warm blanket and cuddling. ^_^. oooh i'm getting all giddy!! tee hee!!
on the other hand, others immediately think of macy's, gifts, money, and black friday. [shopping and greed]. what a shame. -_-. oh but there is More to the holidays than just those! what happened to thanks, giving, family-love, reunions, happiness? the whole MEANING of holiday season! whereee is itttt??
this is what they say now.
thanks - for the gift
give - me more
family - more gifts
reunions - i didnt know she was my aunt? does she have a gift for me too?
happiness - from the multitude of gifts
as a matta fact, i have my eyes on these wonderful darlings =x !
no no no, america! bring the meaning BACK! oh but... hahha.. you're gonna Have to! due to a tighter squeeze on income, our 08 holiday season will be on a budget. the economy today is so freakin low right now.. even i have trouble with my Gifts List. i'm pretty sure a lot of you are experiencing this conservative state.
we are currently in a pickle due to this "conservative state". people are getting laid off, looking for jobs, wondering.. who's gonna hire me with THIS kind of economy? gas went down, that's a good first step. i've heard that black friday sales will be even lower than usual this year? but with no sufficient liable evidence for that yet. we'll see this friday. anyway, mom says we might move. i'm guessing washington. but how would we move, if first we gotta sell the house.. who would buy a house right now? the resell value went down too.. so we'd actually be losing money if we were to sell it.. and then washington?! omg not again... please no.
what about school?! for those trying to finish a major - there was this lady who was majoring in ethnic studies at sfstate, but because of the economy, budgets were cut for that department.. and she was forced to change majors. i mean, she could've switched schools.. but.. ethnic studies? ... "Secure" jobs seem the way to go. such as, yes.. family was right.. healthcare. business is iffy.. but do-able. "i just want to be stable". [that sounds familiar]. -sigh- we really have high expectations for you, obama. don't let us down...
on another note.
people talk.. and the ones who let it get to them make themselves look worse. i've heard about you, how you were before.. i understand you might not be that person Today... but can you really change someone? probably a little. probably a lot. but not completely. i have a little Thing, myself. just like you. anger can get the best of us. i know we've had our past, but now i'm just trying to understand you. you made your rep, so why not try to change it? anything that makes you mad, you immediately bring your guards up. super high. niggaplease. calm the fuck down. let it go. they're always gonna talk, but you formed that in their minds. you got something to say? shut your mouth and show it. Prove it, to yourself. i say congratulations for being so strong about it tho.. i'm probably boosting your ego right now. just stop. do yourself a favor. until then, you're the last of my issues.
ever wonder what keeps people going? what prevents them from giving up? the whole "push turns to shove" concept.. what's the motivation? inside everyone, theres this little spark of Hope. although it keeps getting tampered with, beat down, and brought right back up... it's still there. Hope prevails. it keeps us going. it brought me to where i am now.
speaking of "where i am now"... lately i've been in this cooking-mode. i made miso soup the other day ^_^. turned out awesomeeee. =). i think it might need a little less seaweed tho. next time. wanna make some too? this is how you make it::
-water
-"dashi" - japanese soup stock. (comes in a packet. just add water)
-miso paste
-green onions
-tofu (i chose soft tofu)
-seaweed
soooooo simpo. i used 4c water with 2 tsp of dashi. bring that to a boil... yadda yadda.. cut up the tofu (as much as you'd like) in cubes.. lower the heat and add the tofu in. add 3 tbsp miso paste yum yum... oh i rinsed the seaweed, cut it up to thin strips and added some of that in too.. raised the heat again.. then saved the thinly sliced green onions for last. nom nom
then the other day i attempted to make eggs for judd the way he likes it and i made them extra crispy. lol. then the next time i made eggs for him, it turned out perfect. ^_^ i can make things right the next time around. =)
on THAT note..
theres people you might relate with completely and others where you're on the edge of your seat for their next reaction.. everyone is different (as i've repeated a number of times) and it can be a great thing.. or a thing of constant anticipation. hahha if you read that real quick it looks like constipation hahahahha. okay sorry. anyways. moving along.
still not done tomorrow is blackfriday. work 2-12. have fun being in line! bebacklater. happythanksgiving
