a little bit of trickery...

anyone else think the chamada has distinctly malicious undertones?
a wee bit, maybe?
hehe. but i like it!
particularly the back kick maneuver to circle out of it...
vaguely like a roundhouse, but a lot more fun. Angel

¿qué malícia?

spinnnnning...

capoeira involved a lot of spinning last night.
it was fun... but very dizzying..
if only the ballet floors didn't kill my feet..
there must be some kind of shoe somewhere..

... i needed that...

care bear farts?
   who thinks of such things?
      (and puts them in news articles, no less..)

          ** and if you aren't laughing at that thought... have you not seen the care bears? **
                    try it.. you'll like it.. or will be very afraid for a very long time..

stubborn, thy name is dad..

do you hug him for taking measures to prevent what my uncle is going through now from happening to him?
or bop him over the head for doing everything but flat-out ignoring things the dr told him he needed to do to prepare for today?? Confused

i'm not an evil temptress... and we are not living in a fairy tale..

albeit, that does seem a markedly easier way of meeting a guy than anything i've tried thus far.. Angel

but seriously: when did guys get the impression that labeling themselves the proverbial "bad guy" and telling a girl things like "it's not you, it's me," gets them off the hook and makes a girl feel better when they do things that are really lousy
otherwise (my list grows longer...) ?
when a guy asks a girl to trust him but does something distinctly untrustworthy immediately following, what is the point? seriously? do guys think we believe them? if you have to ask a girl to trust you -->> you've already lost some basic level of trust, simply on the basis of having had to ask. trust is something that should come naturally and be understood, not (in most instances) asked for.
it seems to me that people are responsible for themselves and their actions. you are how you choose to be. nothing more, nothing less. you like someone, or you don't. there isn't much middle ground beyond a certain point...
if people are really being honest, things aren't that complicated. and if you really are interested in a person, why on <earth> would you make an effort to avoid them?
leading anyone on beyond what you feel is using them. period. there is no other description for it.
calling it anything else is not sparing feelings... and i am already sick of hearing the same line as an excuse, rather than having a guy own up to how he really feels... and not leading me on/using me in the process of his decision making.

i am not spinning some evil web of intrigue. there is no sorcery involved.

CERTified

We finished our CERT program on Saturday.
Very cool -- playing with fire, flashing lights, a general sense of craziness.
Not so cool -- a little too much chaos at times where things should have been smooth and flowy.
Looking forward to future emergency training.

she was talking about the drink.. i promise..

awww.

friday the 13th decided to bite --
someone hit my car while i was at work.
oh well. it only bit gently -- they left a note offering to pay for the damage.

my other favorite "lesson" of the evening:

Open-mouthed

saturday? >> playing with fire, fake blood, fog machines, and disaster scenarios. Hot

OoOhhh the things we learn in CERT..

Tonight's favorite phrase?
"It's going to hurt like H$LL!!" (and several other very similar phrases)
I won't divulge what that was used in reference to.. Let's just say it falls into the category of things you never want to hear from your local EMTs ...

cowboy casanova

You better take it from me,
That boy is like a disease
You’re running, you’re tired, you’re trying to hide
And you’re wondering why you can’t get free
He’s like a curse he’s like a drug.
You get addicted to his love.
You wanna get out but he’s holding you down ‘Cause you can’t live without one more touch.

Chorus:
He’s a good time cowboy Casanova; leaning up against the record machine
He looks like a cool drink of water but he’s candy coated misery
He’s the devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes and he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don’t wanna fight
You better run for your life

I see that look on your face, you ain’t hearing what I say
So I’ll say it again ‘cause I’ve been where you’ve been and I know how it ends, you can’t get away
Don’t even look in his eyes, he’ll tell you nothing but lies
And you wanna believe, but you won’t be deceived if you listen to me and take my advice

Chorus:
He’s a good time cowboy Casanova; leaning up against the record machine
He looks like a cool drink of water but he’s candy coated misery
He’s the devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes and he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don’t wanna fight
You better run for your life

Run, run, run away don’t let him mess with your mind
He’ll tell you anything you wanna hear
He’ll break your heart it’s just a matter of time
But just remember-

Chorus:
He’s a good time cowboy Casanova leaning up against the record machine
He looks like a cool drink of water but he’s candy coated misery
He’s the devil in disguise, a snake with blue eyes and he only comes out at night
Gives you feelings that you don’t wanna fight
You better run for your life

Oh you better run for your life,
Oh you better run for your life

hmmm...

am thinking tomorrow is going to be a day of phone calls.. mainly of the hassle-y "fix this now" variety..

bad computer warranty people...

oOOooOhhh!
not happy. Sad
if i find out the lenovo people charged my card (in june) for extending my computer warranty.. without actually extending my warranty.. i am <so> chucking this computer in this trash and writing to the better business bureau.
<really> not happy.
in the meantime, i can barely stand to have my computer up and open due to the buzzing noise the fan continues to make.
shoot me now. :-?
<i mean: thinking happy thoughts.. thinking happy thoughts..>

it would be really convenient if LightRoom would stop losing the same files over, and over, and over again. Confused

Dear Mr. IBM/Lenovo --

If there was ever any doubt, I am really not fond of your computers.

Thank you.
