Iowanna do that - Child's Play

So Things keep getting funnier and funnier. The team isn’t falling apart just yet but there’s enough tension to hold up a roof. There are definitely a lot of people talking behind other people’s backs. Of course I choose to stay out of that, but whadya know, people talk about me behind my back too. A friend from the program will call me every week or so and ask me what’s going on with specific team mates. The friends go on to tell me that people on my team have been talking about me behind my back. Being the happy-go-lucky, brown, round smiley face that I am, I laugh. Even if I wasn’t so carefree and nonchalant with my feelings toward how people view me, I think I would still think the people and their mouths are childish. I remember being back in elementary school and hearing through the grape-vine about how much Big Timmy didn’t like me. He would always talk about putting sour milk rags in my desk, or honey on my headphones, or bees in my briefs, or other random unkind things. But he never really did it, I don’t think. I did have some bees in my socks a few times so maybe he just got the wrong undergarment. But any who, I guess Big Timmy lives on through the tongues of some of my teammates. Guess the difference is that Timmy actually grew up. Still just funny to know that people talk about me behind my back and I still haven’t heard it from the horse’s mouth. I’m sure that statement will be misinterpreted by someone. At the end of the day, I will forever be me and not care what the people say. Let them talk. They have mouths, and if they choose to waste their time and energy on little old me, than that’s their decision. I’ll continue to stay purposefully and intentionally unaware and uncaring. How much money do you want to bet that someone will think I care because I wrote such a large section in my blog. Teehee, think what you want. I don’t care about that though either.

On to bigger and better things though. I had lots of fun in Chicago with my girlfriend these past few weekends. It was great to just get away from the tiny house I’m living in and just hang out with nothing urgent to do. I definitely missed my bus home once, but everybody makes mistakes, yes even me. Now I know you guys think I’m perfect, but, well never mind. I won’t tell you I’m not haha. I kidding. I’ll definitely miss it when I head out to Minnesota in the next few weeks (If I didn’t tell you that, than yeah I’m going there next). Guess it’s cool to see the growth in my relationship, but none of you can see that so I won’t really talk about it. Bah we’re team amazing haha.

I”ve tried lots of new food these past few weeks and it feels good to say I’ve eaten some exotic things. Guess I’m on my way to making my Palate the best that it can be. Doubt it’ll matter in the long run, but it’s another goal to try and achieve. I’m just going to attribute my awesome eating choices to how in-shape I’ve been recently. Not to toot my own horn, but hey there just so happens to be a horn hanging out the side of my mouth so tooty toot toot. But yeah I can run like eight million miles now and barely be tired. Woot woot call me an owl cause that’s a hoot. If you know anything about my previous exercise habits, cardio wasn’t my thing. I was more into weight lifting. Sadly I’ve also lost a lot of weight. Sob sob what shall I do now that my chest doesn’t bounce as high and my arms don’t bulge as far. I mean I don’t even need a bra anymore. Or a bro. Whatever invention it is that is used for large breasted men. Sadness all around. I'll be aight though.

Things haven’t really gotten any better with the living situation, but I guess I’m getting used to it all. It’s definitely been a good stress reliever to get away on the weekends and spend time with my girlfriend. Work is still relatively boring, but the potential for some spice happened this week. We’ve moved on to the “Grow and Play” lot, so we’ll see how things go with that. We might actually get to build some stuff so I’m excited to see what I can learn. It’s located in a rather hood location and it’s funny to hear all the uppity people on the team say it’s the worst neighborhood they’ve ever been in. Pretty sure a lot of them are scared too. They found a shotgun shell on the sidewalk and started flipping out. Hahaha I kept it to myself that I have a shotgun shell on my dresser in my mom’s house, and about three other bullet casings. But my vast assortment of useless artillery is a discussion meant for another time and place.

So far the project isn’t too shabby, though it’s getting hot. I think it’s funny that all the other members (minus the other black guy) are getting sun burnt. Ha, realized that one of the few benefits to being black is prolonged exposure to the sun without getting burnt. SMH at that…lol but oh well. Completely unrelated, but things are getting really interesting with tension on the team. Funnier every day. Guess we’ll see what happens with that.

SO BLOWN I CAN”T GET MY COMP GAME TO WORK!! Call me a dork. Call me a big dork. Even call me a telephone, but please don’t push my buttons. So blown because I bought a game for my comp, hoping to be able to escape to a fictional world, but instead the fruity thing kept hanging up. So after a few weeks I finally get to take it back and exchange it. My hopes were high, my fingers crossed, and the corners of my lips reached for the sky. Instead of being able to play, I go to install it and the stupid thing said the verification code I had to use (basically something that ensures people don’t buy one copy of a game and then give/sell it to their friends) was already in use. How does that happen with a brand new game! I’ll tell you. It’s cause the people on earth called me a telephone one too many times and now the powers that be are pushing my buttons. Super stupid blown. I need a kitkat.
