I don’t do Black Friday…

Because you just might die, but I’m definitely not above Cyber Monday. I’ve already contributed to our failing economy. What have you done for your country? Run along and be a good American. Buy that $hit.

I predict a riot.

November 30, 2008 · Leave a Comment

The Pacquaio/ De la Hoya fight is six days from now.

I predict a riot in the streets of Na$ty City, no matter the outcome.  No not really, despite the hype N.C. is pretty peaceful these days, but still…

National City is an old Navy town, and the two highest populations of my city owe their numbers to emigration. a) It’s hella close to the border, and b) Filipiinos joined the Navy to gain citizenship in the states in the 50’s. Don’t quote me on that just now, I can’t find a source. But I minored in Ethnic Studies, sooooo … just take my word for it. Fun fact: San Diego has the second highest population of Pin@ys in the country. 

Regardless of what happens, the National City apartments (a.k.a. Sweetwater dorms) are gonna be jumping on Dec. 6th.

If I was a betting woman, I’d go all in on Pacquiao. He’s the first Filipino to be endorsed by Nike, and Oscar De La Hoya is too old and too pretty.

Also: Anchorman and buds and bud and beer make me feel a whole lot better. Yay life sometimes!

Also Also: I think someone should do a reality television show of the Pacquiaos. Cuz Filipinos wiling out would be hilarious!

I haven’t been feeling too hot these days. More like I haven’t been too feeling great these past 32 hours.

I’ve actually been kind of depressed. And not the I’m-just-now-getting-over-a-cold-and-my-feminine-troubles-and-I-have-to-go-back-to-work-Monday kind of depressed either.

More like I’ve just been through some mind-altering, earth-shattering shit depressed.

Like I’m hoping that my favorite moccassins and this sparkly-ass Luxurie hoodie will somehow transform my mood.

Like I’ve watched Gossip Girl, and First Sunday and Office Re-runs online all day to block it out. 

Like I kind of just want to curl up into a ball and listen to Sigur Ros all night.

Like I just bought a pair of purple boots online for no reason.

Yeah, that kind of depressed. 

Fuck that. This is not me. I am not that bitch.

I had a moment of weakness. I’m all cried out and shit, and you’ve made it better though you don’t even know it. I’m sooooo back.

FIghting fire with firewood.

“Black Friday” AF1s

November 29, 2008 · Leave a Comment

You would think that with everything that is slammed onto this shoe, I’d be in love. I mean it’s got sparkles:

Secret Messages (I wanted to be a spy when I was a kid):

Hell, it’s even got pony hair (I’m not going to lie, I have some ph pumps in my closet):

But put it all together and it’s like some strange Frankenstein Uptown, and I just feel bad for people that waited in line for this before even knowing, ummm, that this was it.

Two thumbs waaaaaaaaay down.

Kaiser Chiefs – “Good Days Bad Days”

I dunno, I kinda prefer my Kaiser Chiefs more “I Predict a Riot” and less like … this. But there are rainbows. Rainbows always make things better.
