Unnecessary Vocal Outbursts

alright, this will be brief because i am tired, hot, and i really want to enjoy a cold beverage (water i think..with ice!). this is just about something that i've come to recognize during my time waitressing. i realized not only do servers do it, but so does everyone else once you start thinking about it.

picture this: you at a table taking an order and then you walk back to the kitchen. another fellow server walks past you. and as soon as the get to you they start singing. and its not like they see you, stop, and then gaze deeply into your eyes and sing an entire song complete with vibrato. it's more like they walk toward you, see you, and when they are within 3 feet they will bust out a verse of a song..loudly...and might even shake their money maker a little. then the verse ends, the booty stops moving, and they keep walking to finish what they were set to do.

all servers do this. i admit i am guilty of it sometimes. caught myself in the act one day and then i started noticing everyone else does it too. the only thing i dont do is shake the cash.

then i started thinking about others that i have witnessed doing the same thing. my roomate, for one, is guilty. i would be sitting at my computer and she would walk in the door, sing a verse (loudly), make some sort of facial expression (similar to the awkward expressions and movements of the talented jessica simpson) in the midst of the performance, then sit down and do homework or something. joebro, also guilty. but he is just weird. gregory does it too. but he is just weird too because the words of whatever verse he is singing is sung softly, not loudly, and in a language noone of the human race could possibly understand. i believe it is of the "fer-ner-ner" dialect. it really isn't clear.

so yes, i hope you all start to acknowledge this strange, almost contagious, characteristic that every person expresses either consciously or unconsciously.

Bored in the Bur? Neverrr

so here i am sitting on my leather recliner, laptop living up to its name, and waiting for joebro to call for his ride. this summer has been quite uneventful thus far and the weather has been quite shitty to say the least. i just want some sun and heat already. enough of these belated april showers. the flowers bloomed in may. its june now - honestly

so far this summer i've accomplished the following:
  1. my acknowledgement of a serious personal problem--> shopping. i, like many others, have a job. i make money at my job. money belongs in the bank; not in my pocket. the bank is safe and pocket is not. so im like, ok, i need to get black sneakers for work. then i see a cute tank top and a cool sash thing when im walking past express. of course, i go in and pick them up..but then put them down ::no, no, i came for sneakers:: ooo i like those jeans! they would look good with the sash thing..i go back to the sash and hold it up to me this time. i like. i really want that tank top too. shoot its 30 bucks. eh, what i make at work tomorrow will cover it. ::i should really save up for rent that is due in a month:: whats 30 bucks going to matter? minutes later i hear the very familiar quote that still haunts me after post purchases that leave me poor-"would you like to save 15% by applying for our express card?"
  2. my car is the biggest hater- my car, known to many as white lightening, is the biggest piece of crap that still legally passes inspection. my e-brake light is permanently on now, the front bumper is hanging probably by a thin piece of plastic, and there is a strange, unidentified object that is petruding from the belly of the beast. for some reason, the thing on the dash that beeps when someone isn't wearing their seat belt UNCONTROLLABLY beeps at me with or without seatbelts. this is a constant, obnoxious BEEPBEEPBEEP and when i think it stops, oh no, it never stops. this effing thing only beeps at me. it doesn't happen to joe. what did i ever do but love my white lightening? oh, maybe when i drove it 900 miles over the time it should have had an oil change and didn't care. hm.
  3. i decided to get my real estate license hopefully this summer. i'll sell some houses, no big deal.
  4. i learned how to spell "bananas" thanks to gwen stefani's clarification. holler back, girl.
