Today was such a horrible day, and the funny part is, it aint even over!
Woke up on the wrong side of the bed with cramps. Nothin to eat. It was so hot, and no one has called/emailed me about a damn job. And of course, my iPhone is GONE with the wind. For soem odd reason I had some hope left. Initially it kept going to voice mail when I called the number, but then it rang. I got my hopes up but no one picked up. After calling about 20 times I decided to give it up......
My mom called me sometime last night to tell me that my lil sis strolled in the house around 1:30 AM, altho her curfew is at 11:30. Her excuse: her phone was dead and she didnt know what time it was. How convenient! I was so angry. Lately I feel like she is kinda developing a bad attitude. She doesnt do any chores at home, talks back to my mom all the time, amd most importantly, started fucking up in school. I set very high standards for my lil sis, but she just doesnt see that Im trying to get her to do better. She thinks becuz she just turned 16 she can do what she wants cuz she is grown. Ha, she got another thing comin....So anyway, I had to come to the house today and smack fire out this lil girl. I told her ass to stop talkin back, jsut listen to what I gotta say and keep it moving. So this lil chicken shit had the nerve to say something to me so I smacker her ass. She stepped back and then started crying. I just went off on her ass. Im so tired of her actin up.....
Then I went to the AT&T store to get a new sim card for my phone. I spoke to a representative the day I lost the phone and he said I could get a FREE sim card, and wait 2 weeks to buy a new iPhone for about $200. Low and behold, this fucker LIED about EVERYTHING. The sim card was $25 (which I called to customer service to take care....the customer is always right!) and even if I wait, I still have to pay full price for an iPhone, the cheapest being $499. I was so fuckin digusting you know I was in the store crying. Its so unfair, and Apple think they so slick not having insurance in the iPhone. Bitch asses.......
Oh and did I mention its raining and hot.....
I just need to sit the fuck down somewhere and get a drink!

Terrible....Tuesdays
Well not really so terrible. I just like the way that sounded.....lol
So nothin much new goin on. Ive officially sank to an all new low. I managed to be on the comp for several hours yesterday, bouncing back and forth between youtube/ybf.com/facebook/and gmail. Im such a loser.....
Class....uuhhh yest and today went by pretty smoothly. I looked at my calender and damn near had a heart attack thinkin that we had another full week of work after this one. But then I wised up and realized work is officially over next tuesday. Ive been thinkin lately how much it must suck for the other teachers. The younger kids (I believe up to 7g) got out of school June 15th. They for some retarded reason got out before the older kids, while the rest of us are all doomed til the 30th. But here is the kicker: those teachers still have to come to work from 9-2. And all they do is check in, sit around for a bit, then holla at the cafe. That sucks ass......
Most days Im done pretty early. And after work is over, im ghost. I no longer wish to sit and chit chat with folks that #1 I cant understand half the time and #2 who barely even talk to me. I usually kinda awkardly sit at the table and drink my juice extra quick, for lack of anything else to do. The occassional head nod, or da here and there is obligatory. But im over it. Aint no point in fakin the funk.....
So Im home now. Just finished takin a nap. Nothin on TV, and my headphones were makin my ears ache so I just took a nap.
Oh, so I have like no food in my fridge...AGAIN. Ive been living on raamen noodles, eggs and waffles. So lets talk about how two weeks into JUNE, my monthly allowance was completey DEPLETED. I had to pay for my trip to Greece, but since I squandered May's monthly allowance, I had to take that money out of June's money. Then I had to pretend to be a volunteer who cared, and did a sessionon diversity for the new volunteers which set me back a whole bunch of money. Taxi fares, travel expenses. At that point, around like June 9th, I had like 120 leva in my account. Lol....Where did THAT money go....uuhhh thats all kinda fuzzy at this point......
Dippin into my amer bank account is nothin new to me. I usually only do it to buy clothes tho. But I need to do it this time to eat! Oh my frivolous nature will be the death of me im sure.....
On another note, what the hell is up with the weather? It rained yesterday, and it was so cold this mornin on my way to work. Its supposed to be chilly for the rest of the week. I remember it being extremely hot this time last year. But then again maybe global warming (or colding I should say) is catchin up to us....
oh and randomly, when I went to work earlier, there was a sign that said something about if you love yourself, forget the narcotics....I found it extremely random since there are like 3 classes left in the school cuz its the end of the year. And also, is this some new campaign to combat drug use, or was it just one of those general 'dont use drugs" kinda things....ill never fully understand this place....

what does it all mean???
In my morose and lonesome state of being, ive been pondering the meanin of life. I know, that sounds so...deep and heavy. But its the truth folks. Ive always envied those people who seem to know what they want to do with their lives, and actually have some type of direction they are headed in, or a path to follow. Me, uumm I cant even think past a 2-week time span if that. I think its kinda cool to be free as a bird......
These are just random thoughts, but just follow me for a sec.....so I saw this pic of this girl I used to be real cool with. And I mean we were real cool back in the day. I thought she was big shit poppin at one point. But now, uumm thats a negativo!!! In the pic, homegirl was lookin mighty jacked up. Hair all fucked up, lookin like she had one too many Burger King double whoppers with bacon.... Now why she was walkin on the damn planet let alone around NYC like that is beyond me, but anyway.....Seein her like that honestly made me feel good. At my age, doin what I do, I look damn good. The friendship didnt end THAT bad, it kinda just dissipated. But she DID look horrible.....
Which brings me to my next point. I am a firm believer in "out of sight, out of mind" People you call friends who, unless they see you, could give too shits about you. And im talkin bout real friens. People you were with all the time on a regular basis. But I suppose things cant always be the same, and when things change, feelings and actions change.
I also think that people are in your life for seasons. They touch you, teach you a few things, and make you realize what they are supposed to. They play a role and then POOF, they are gone. The experience might be good and it might be bad, but you learn something from every experience, every exchange.
I guess I just feel so out the loop. I used to be really cool with a lot of people, but when i travel, its like those relationships are lost. When I was in japan, it was so difficult to stay friends with a lot of people.
Oh, ok so another random thought....grad school. Been checkin out a few things in my spare time and found this really good program Im interested in. I supose being proactive and having a plan doesnt help one bit. The program was really good, and its at a great school in NY.
Oh so to connect this whole blog and so that its not just extra random, my point was why have friends when you can just be a loner???? hahahahaha
LEarn to depend on yourself and if people are in your corner then they should be there regardless the situation or the distance. LEarn to depend on yourself.......AND finally, you can always take comfort in the fact that when things dont go your way, and you are in a rough spot, you can alway look at others and how bad they are doing to cheer yourself up. That sounded so bad, but those who know me know damn well I meant it, and that Im such a....yeah you were thinkin it, a bitch! hahahahaha
At least I know that, and Im cool with it....Lookin forward to an easy work week.

Rage against the MAN
Who is the man? What has he done to me? Why am I raging against him?
Well I was on the tram the other day like any other usual day when Im getting around in Sofia. When you get on the trams here its unlike NY where there is jsut one door at the fron of the bus and you have to pay first, then get on. There are three doors that open and there are small metal boxes scattered along each side of the tram where you punch a paper ticket. BUT there isnt anyone there to ensure that you indeed punch the ticket and "pay your fare" This si such a shame for someone like me, cuz to be completey honest, I NEVER punch a damn thing, which means I am riding around on the trams for free. ANd its such a shame too cuz I see so many people who actually DO punch there tram ticket and throw them away. So many honest people. On tues there was me and 2 other people on the tram, 2 girls. These heifers actually got up to punch their tickets with just 3 people on the damn tram. I was so confused. There wasnt anyone there to say anything to them if they hadnt punched their ticket.....
But the plot thickens. There are secret ticket checkers. They get on the tram, some dressed in pfficial uniforms, others dressed in plain clothes with a hidden badge, and chck all the tickets on the tram. If you donthave a punched ticket, you can get a fine of up to 15-20 leva I think. I am always on the lookout for these folks....
So on tues, Im so excited cuz I just finished shoppin and Im kinda tired. A seat opened up and I jumped in it. It just happened to be in front of one of the tram doors. Wouldnt you know a secret ticket checker just pops up out of nowhere and starts checkin tickets. I quickly break out the spare ticket I keep in my wallet JUST for this type of situation and quickly punch that joint. When she gets to me, she asks why I just punched my ticket. Tryna not to sound like I know Bulgarian too well, I ask her to repeat herself, then explain to her that I JUST got on the train and that I had so many bags that I needed a sec to find my ticket blah blah blah. She gave me the BULLSHIT BITCH look but kept it movin.....hahahahhaha
I feel like this: 1. if the government gave 2 shits about if people bout tram tickets and paid to get on the tram, they would properly make sure it happened. But since the system is basically one of honor, some people buy tickets and punch them, others dont. I am one of the others dont.....lol 2. Most of the time, I am only going from one street to the mall, which is like a 10 minute walk. Since I am extremely lazy I just take the tram. Why pay 2 leva (one ticket is one lev but from vitosha to the mall it takes 2 trams) when Im only going a short distance?!?! 3. Ive put up with so much bullshit in this damn country, I deserve a lil retribution. I think of this as gettin back at the man for all the oppression ive suffered while in BG.
Im tellin, its the lil things and the way you rationalize that get you through......and damnit Im with Leah on this shit: when in the hell with the school year be OVERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR?!?!?!

Train Excapades
So let me start off by saying, this def qualifies for Foolishness status.....
So on Tues, I went to Sofia to get some shoppin in. I finished work pretty early, bout 12 or so, and decided what the hell, your bday is tomorrow. I usualy take the bus cuz its closer to my house, and Ive just got accustomed to travelin that way. BUT on this particular day, I figured sonce I was goin to the mall, I should take the train since it will put me closer to the mall which = more time to shop.
And here is where I say a big damn you b*tches for sayin people need to take the road less traveled......
Wouldnt you know, one stop away from where I got on, we stayed at the station for damn near 2 1/2 hours (I sooo which I could caps lock that for emphasis)?!?!?!?! Apparently when we stopped I thought it was something routine, a short delay or what have you. But noooooooooooo something happened to some guy at the next station which prevented his train from moving, thus preventing our train from moving, thus further preventing me from gettin to Sofia earlier to shop. Chain reaction........
Folks got off the train to play cards at a table at the train stop. The ticket checkers started unbuttoning their shirts and gettin comfy, the damn train driver got off the train to start yappin his gums. Folks were drinkin beer to pass the time, or just plain knocked out/mouth open in a deep slumber. And the funny thing is, I didnt dare ask for a refund so I could go take the bus. The seemed almost ridiculous.....
So here I am, playing with my phone, eating chips and chocolate, hoping that someone wouldnt snatch a cute bag that I might want, or take the size I needed and bought something that I could have worn so much better. Finally, the train begins to move. I thought maybe I would see blood/guts/someones head at the station when we passed it, but honestly everything looked to be like normal and I was wondering what the hell could have happened to hold us up for 2 1/2 hours (insert emphasis here)...
So some guy gets on the train and asked me for the time, altho he had a watch on. I suppose he just wanted to make sure his time was correct, altho I really suspect he just wanted to say something to me. And mind you this dude looked to be like 65. So as he is gettin off the train, he extends his hand to me and says have a nice day. I shook it to be polite and said the same to you IN BULGARIAN. That must have been a test to see my skills cuz this MOFO gon tell me that at the stop he was gettinoff at, there is a really nice hotel nearby. At first I thought maybe I didnt hear correctly, but then he started talkin shit bout how his town is so nice blah blah blah and mentions the hotel again. I just shook my damn head and turned away.....the nerve of these people.......
Then I had to go to the bathroom. And thank the lord for those lil tissue things cuz there was NO type of anything that resembled toilet paper. And not to mention the smell. Oh my Goodnes it smelled so damn rauncy in there I almost couldnt use the bathroom.....
Oh so then there were these drunk dudes on the train. They started walkin back and forth from car to car arguin about something. And besides the fact that they were slurrin their words, wobblin from side to side in a drunken stupor and reeked of booz, one dude had the audacity to be holding a freshly poured to the brim plastic cup of beer...ON THE TRAIN. I was beyond stupified......
Train ride from hell. Im takin the bus like I usually do from here on out damnit.....

School is for what now? (insert confused look)
I am just so ticked off that these damn students think they can come to school and chillax. Like I come to work to stand in front of the class and watch you sleep or chit chat. So being the inquisitive person that I am, I decided to get to the bottom of this foolishness (wow, havent used that in like forever).
I was on a quest. Operation who the hell do you think you are, if you will. I had the 9G first period. I came in ready to discuss just what the hell they think is suppoed to be going in during school hours and what their role as a student was. I was surprised with the responses to be honest.
Half the students were in class anyway, so the convo flowed pretty well. I asked what is school for and why are they here. And most of them replied that they are here to sleep and do what they want (how sad is it that I actually believe that they believe this). in their other classes they play cards, chew gum, talk, sleep, play on their phones etc. They said they didnt HAVE to do work and a lot of them dont. When asked what the repercussions of this was, they said nothing. The teachers yell at them and tell them to stop, but they continue anyway. One kid (damn smartass) actually tld me that I can sleep in class if I wanted to. I wanted to laugh so hard cuz it was just the funniest thing.
Not too farfetched tho. Mon and Tues I didnt have work and that only left Wed and Thurs. But many people were absent and/or preparing for the celebration so a lot of students were absent. Throw in the heat, regular 'i dont want to work' attitude of most of the students and the fact that not one student came with their textbooks, I decided to have free time in the classes for the 2 days. So yest. I was so damn bored in my own class I actually nodded off. There were like 5 girls in the class who didnt want to play any games or talk to me, so I just put my head down and did my thing......hahahahah im so horrible!
Its funny cuz Ive noticed that if I give the students free time, they dont do shit. I mean absolutely nothing. If I were them Id be bored as hell and might actually be compelled to ask for something to do.
So anyway, I also asked the students if anyone had a favorite subject. Of the 3 people who said yes, they answered gym and the other said geography. How sad is this?!?! One guy said that when I was in school he knows that I didnt like it. Quite the contrary.
I wasnt IN LOVE with school. I never woke up and said damn, cant wait to get there. But I also didnt come to school to play cards and talk shit all day. I had my days where I hated school and disliked teachers. But I liked getting good grades. I loved it actually. I like Japanese class. I like math up to a certain point. I like playing volleyball and basketball aftershcool. And if I didnt understand something, I actually went to tutoring or asked questions. I cared about school. It was my life. These kids, boy o boy. They just dont give a fuck! About anything. I really wonder what they expect to be in life. Seriously....I can picture a few bus drivers, cashiers, and vagabonds...VIVIDLY!!!
In the 10 class we had a similar convo, but it was a lil diff. Ill have to blog about that another time tho.
Well kids, hope you learned something today.....cuz my kids in school sure didnt!

I had my days where I hated school and disliked teachers. But I liked getting good grades. I loved it actually. I like Japanese class. I like math up to a certain point. I like playing volleyball and basketball aftershcool. And if I didnt understand something, I actually went to tutoring or asked questions. I cared about school. It was my life. These kids, boy o boy. They just dont give a fuck! About anything. I really wonder what they expect to be in life. Seriously....I can picture a few bus drivers, cashiers, and vagabonds...VIVIDLY!!!
In the 10 class we had a similar convo, but it was a lil diff. Ill have to blog about that another time tho.
Well kids, hope you learned something today.....cuz my kids in school sure didnt!

A lil somethin funny....
I was reading this in a magazine. The pic kinda caught my eye, but reading what was attached was so hilarious I thought Id share.....
Every week I look forward to FHM.com's Friday email. A few Fridays back I whacked on my PC, opened my inbox and took great joy in looking through your pics of the Greece Blow-Job Competition at the Baywatch Bar in Zante. But then I saw the pics of the "blonde girl with the denim skirt." At this point I felt sick. That girl is my girlfriend. She'd been on holiday to Zante in August, but what was she doing with that man's penis in her mouth? I've since quizzed her about this, and she still tried to pretend that she had been faithful to me. I woudl like to thank FHM because althought I have a broken heart, you've managed to save me from a future heartache at the hands of the cheating bitch. I would like to take this opportunity to tell mankind that although the pics make it appear as if she knows what she's doing, she's crap at oral sex.
Whoa!!! Can you imagine, seeing your GF in a pic at a blow-job competition? Why in the hell do they have such competitions anyway? How do they judge a winner? So many questions.....

Volunteer found DEAD outside her home
This is how PC is reporting it:
'U.S. Peace Corps Acting Director Jody K. Olsen, along with the U.S. Embassy in Cotonou, Benin, is saddened to confirm the death of U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer Kate Puzey. Ms. Puzey was found outside her home on March 12 in the village where she worked as an English teacher. Peace Corps Acting Director Olsen said, "Kate was an exemplary member of the Peace Corps family whose dedicated work as a secondary English teacher in a rural public school in Badjoude, Benin, contributed greatly to the lives of the Beninese citizens. Kate's life and work spoke volumes about the kind of dedication she had to her service as a Volunteer, and the U.S. Peace Corps is greatly saddened by her loss. Our condolences go out to her family and loved ones at this time." Peace Corps and the U.S. Embassy in Cotonou are coordinating with local police authorities, who are currently conducting the investigation and will make a final pronouncement on the cause of death. The Government of Benin has expressed condolences to the U.S. government and pledged their full cooperation and support in this matter. Ms. Puzey began her Peace Corps service in Benin on July 17, 2007. She served in the Peace Corps as an English teacher in Badjoude for almost two years. She was 24 years old and a native of Cumming, Ga.'
This is crazy! No word yet on the cause of death, but I wonder what happened....In any event, I know this must be extremely hard for her fam who may not have seen her for a very long time while she was serving. I hope they find the cause of the death and those who may have been involved are put to justice......
Ok I really mean I hope their asses are shot to death!

Madoff Madness
I usually try to keep up with the news happening in the US and around the world thru CNN and the internet. I just read a very interesting piece on yahoo news about this Madoff guy. He was denied bail and sent back to prison after he pleaded guilty to 11 charges that included theft, perjury and money laundering. According to the article "The scheme evaporated life fortunes, wiped out charities and apparently pushed at least two investors to commit suicide. Victims big and small were swindled by Madoff, from elderly Florida retirees to actors Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick and Nobel Peace Prize winner Elie Wiesel."
Thats some ole BUllshit right there....
Anyway, Madoff faces up to 150 years in prison, even tho he is 70 and probably wont even do a sufficient amount of time that will appease any of his victims. His "I am deeply sorry and ashamed" has DEFINATELY come too little too late, and I for one hope this man gets the maximum.
Ive always found it so interesting how "white-collar crimes", such as fraud, bribery and insider trading has always got slaps on the wrist, while you could get caught with possession of like a vile of crack and get like 20 years in jail. I suppose because blue-collar crimes include force, and injured people, then its different. And also, blue-collar crimes occur way more frequently. The law as to catch up to computer crimes and insider trading, cuz when the laws were made, these things didnt exist.
But why should a stock broker get several months or probation from stealing a clients money as opposed to someone who breaks into your home and steals your TV. Aren't they both theft? Aren't there both victims who have gotten something taken away?
I suppose the law is cracking down on certain things these days. The fact that Madoff stole almost $65 billion from his victims is wayyyyyyyyyy different then if I stole say $10,000 from someone (altho that shouldnt be an excuse). And also I think people are realizing the effects that these things have on people. Folks lost EVERYTHING they owned in this lil scheme he had going. Pensions, retirement packages, all folks had left after working their asses off for years and years.......And I know you all remember Martha Stewart. Yeah she got the short end of the stick by doing several months in prison (and I use that term VERY lightly), but that who gave her the tip got like 6 years in prison.
This whole thing is a bunch of foolishness. Money makes people THAT crazy that you gotta steal it from others. And $65 Billion. What the hell could he possibly have done on NEEDED with ALL that money? He is 70 for heaven's sake. Was he buying gold/diamond encrusted diapers for him and his wife?
Again, 150 years is lookin like a just desert for this guy........un huh, deeply sorry and ashamed I got CAUGHT is what his ass really meant!
