These things happen

Today while cleaning and listening to XMU The J. Davis Trio came on, I'd never heard of them but instantaneously fell in love. Their garage-jazz melody and smooth rhymes will sooth your soul. This Chicago rap group uses innovative instruments such as the vibraphone, congas, finger cymbals, cabasa, trumpet, hand chimes, and the clarinet. Such a neat sound, do give it a listen.

meant for me

This one of a kind ring, made of onyx, pave tsavorites, and diamonds, HAS to be in my possession within the next week but unless I marry that billionaire I met tonight I doubt it will happen. Bummer. If you make 50-60 million annually and are interested in possibly getting married (no pre-nup) please contact me.

Hyperemesis

You make me sick.

So do you.

And you.

Oh and don't get me started with you.

GTFO

Growing up in small town America has always been something I've absolutely detested for as long as I can remember, but it wasn't until recently that I realized why. I believe growing up in a smaller city does have its plus sides, its safer, generally has a better public school system, and its more family oriented. However, its full of close minded, ignorant people. Racism and homophobia are two things that make me madder than anything in the world. I hardly ever get angry but if I'm in a situation where either of those things prevalent its all I can do to not knock them out. I was brought up in a "fundamental-conservative-baptist church" where everyone believes that white and blacks should not date/marry and if you're gay you're going to hell. My uncle, a pastor, is a strong believer that you should not date or marry outside of your race; his argument is that in Corinthians 6:14 the bible states, "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?", he says it is this verse that prompts him to believe so. Now, I haven't been to bible college like he has, nor am I as knowledgeable about the bible in any way, but I have studied this verse pretty carefully and nothing gives me the impression that this has anything to do with race. It says "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers," which simply means that you shouldn't associate yourself with unbelievers, nothing about race. Regardless of your color, you are still a human being and nothing can change that. What is the difference between a black man or a white man? Every single thing about them is the same except the color of their skin. If you love someone and they treat you well then why not be with them? Love is love regardless of skin color. I feel the same way when it comes to being gay or a lesbian. If you love someone, love them. Who am I to tell you you can't be happy? Your actions aren't effecting me in any way, I don't see where the problem is? Things like this just erk me so badly.


Also, while I'm ranting let's talk about the restaurant industry and tipping. For example, for a group of three people who's total comes out to approximately $35.00 the appropriate tip is not, let me repeat NOT, $2.00. If my service or the food merited a two dollar tip that would be completely understandable but I've been raised in the restaurant and entertainment industry since I was five years old and my service is nothing less than impeccable. Also, my parents pride themselves on being the best caterers in the Roanoke valley so its obviously not a food issue, so what IS the problem? Come on guys, I understand times are hard but when you're only making $4.00 an hour, a 6% tip just does not cut it. Especially when I run around everywhere getting you any and everything your fat ass desires. Learn proper restaurant etiquette or GTFO.


Also, let me note, you know things are getting bad when your grandma starts spreading rumors about you. Seriously, grow up.



Until next time, xoxox -- Haley.

oh my life is changing everyday

i don't know who i am anymore, i need to 'find myself'. my room is a disaster, maybe i'm hidden beneath the piles upon piles of clothes and shoes i don't wear anymore. i want new everything but i feel like i'm always buying new clothes, i think i need to start selling them on ebay. a million things have been running through my head all week; i want to be classier, i want to be cultured, i want to travel and learn things they don't teach you in school, i want to be more independent, i want to learn a new language, i want to be more brave and outgoing, i want to learn to play an instrument and write a song that i'm proud to let other people hear, i want to stop being so self centered, i want to start doing nice, anonymous things for people, i want to go to the gym everyday and sweat until blood comes out of my eyes, i want to save up at least $1000 for no reason, i want to move to a new city where no one knows me and completely start over.

my emotions completely mirror the weather at all times. last night i cried for an hour when i realized i can't live without misty anymore, its seriously killing me. today i looked at pictures of us and cried more. a year ago i could have never imagined my life without her or going even a day without speaking to her and now at times its like we don't even know each other. its the worst feeling i've ever felt and i absolutely mean that. its worse than any break up, its 10x worse than anyone i've ever lost in the past, i can't deal with this. i thought i was okay without her but its finally caught up with me. i'm starting to cry again, i'm falling apart.

a little good news, i bought a nikon fm10 yesterday. it will be here friday, its about the only thing i'm looking forward to. that and caiti coming on sunday.

also, i can't live any longer without jeffry campbell's fall line of shoes, every pair is so unique. he really takes the gladiator sandal to the next level with 'the pre shoe' and 'the united boots'. oh, and 'the bella shoe' chunky heels are to die for.
