Well well well, just when you think you got a good thing going, they tell you you have to work on Saturday!
About 2 weeks ago, we had a mini vacation. Sunday (3/1) was a holiday here, and Tuesday (3/3) was the day of Bulgarian Independence, another holiday. So we had Mon and Tues off from school (but since I have Fri off, I had quite a nice lil vacation!) So Im going bout my business, you know doin my thing when someone mentions that they have to work on Saturday to "make up" for the Mon we had off from work. Im thinkin this is a joke, but low and behold its true. EVERYONE has to work on Saturday, even teachers.
So at this point, im tryna feign ignorance, you know pretend that since no one told me about it, I could sleep til lik 1 or 2 like usual. BUT no, someone had to open their big ass mouth and let me know Thursday that there was school on Saturday.
I still dont understand this "make-up" thing. Its stupid........

Ode to Poppa Bear.....
Poppa is so convinced that Jojo and I have something going on cuz I write about her in my blog often, and said he wanted me to blog about him. And you all know that whatever Poppa wants, he gets, so......
Poppa,
Today marks our one year anniversary! When we first met, you didnt try to holla at me, and that actually surprised me. I know that you KNEW I was the shit, but for whatever reason, you kept it cool. We eventually began to like each other, and soon nothing could keep us apart. What started as a fondness for each other has grown into love, and I thank you for it.
Now I must say, that I was VERY skeptical when you said you wanted to stay together while I left the country. Long distance relationships are extremely hard to keep up with, especially since you live in the land of opportunity. But you made me a promise, and you have kept it. What I assumed was something that would crumble and fall to pieces, has grown even stronger with the passing days.
This is not to say that we have not had ups and downs. There are times when you get on my nerves with stupid things that you say. And I am sure that there are times when I complain and talk your ear off. And I know I fucked up. But mutual respect and love for each other has allowed us to learn and grow together, conquering all that is placed before us. Its been difficult being so far away from you. When we started to catch fire, you were so loving, sweet, and extremely gentle. I have come to know that you have gone above and beyond that, showing me the meaning of honesty in its truest form. I trust you with everything in me, and I hope you know that.
I can be having the worst day, but just hearing your voice allows the anger to float off me and into the air. We laugh and joke on the phone constantly, and I have come to think of you as my best friend. And of course, when I am sad, or ready to quit, you are always there to support me. Making sure that I see this thing through. You are such a good person, equipped with exactly what I need to stay afloat. It is my pleasure to have you, and I am so glad that we are together. No one can understand us like we do, so although I try to be very private and discreet about my life, I want whoever will listen to know that I love you.
So with this, I hope you never have to doubt the fact that I love you, and would do anything for you. It is in my nature to please others whenever possible. You are my King, and there is and never will be a time when I dont treat you as such. I hope you know this, and in me see all the things that I see in you.
Love grows where it is honored.
yours

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!

Thumbs Up
(Yes, that is my thumb!) So in this special edition (well actually its the first but whatev) of "Thumbs Up" I am highlighting the zestful feeling of living on your own (without parents that is). College was special. I went out of state, and was all to happy to experience life without living with my mom. But college is a bit different. Thats like "play house" I had my own room, yes, but I still had to live with other people, whether it be in a quad, or in a house. And frankly, it was just a room. It wasnt REALLY living on my own.But now, I have my OWN apartment, and its wonderful! I come home and there is no one there. I cook whenever I want. I leave the dishes piled up in the sink, and I damn sure dont take the garbage out unless I feel like it. I can walk around naked if I want (which I rarely do) or do whatever else I damn well please without worrying about what mom or lil sis will say. And please dont try to hand me that "my mom is my roommate" crap. Who cares if you pay bills if you live with your mom. The fact is, you still live with your mom. And no matter how you spin it, you just cant do ALL the things you want, cuz til a certain point, you have to stay respectful (i.e you CANT walk around naked unless you take laps in your own LIL room).
Thats not to say that I wouldnt mind living with my boyfriend. Im sure that will come down the line. But as for living on my own in Bulgaria, it is FANTASTIC. It has however pointed out a few things to me tho. The #1 thing being IM LAZY AS HELL! Whenever the garbage gets full, I empty the bin, but leave the full bag near the door. I suppose I put it there to remind me to take it to the trash bin outside, BUT NO, its still there as I write this blog by my damn door. The dishes, yeah um, I let those pile up for sure. Im not always so lazy with this tho cuz my sink is kinda small, but still......Cleaning up in general. NO ONE comes to my apartment. No colleagues, no friends. Other than for my personal satisfaction, why the hell should I clean up? And by clean up I mean sweeping and mopping the kitchen and hallway floor, and sweeping the rug in my room. Its just gonna get dirty again!
So with that being said, I HAVE to be rich enough to afford a maid. Thats my one goal in life right now......But for real, living on your own is popping. I have time to myself to think and do whatever it is that I want. I am kinda a loner and dont mind being my myself for long periods of time. So living alone is great. I recommend it to all you duds who still live at home with mommy! hahahahahaha just kiddin (but not really!)
