-- this is right from my myspace page --
first of all i had to figure out what the hell time it was. i have like 5 clocks in this house and they all said different things. i think i'm right now, i'll find out tomorrow when i go into work huh?i'm thinking arizona has the right idea of not doing it at all, it's less confusing for us morons.
lets see, rylen appears to like the group hoobastank, i'm listening to them and he keeps yelling 'turn it up' ok son, but i don't want the police here for disturbing the neighbors and i can already feel the music in the floor. dang party animal... he's going to be my wild one i just know it. and the kids is MEAN, whoa, he's gonna be trouble i think. i can't imagine where he got a wild streak at...
ok funny story from a few months back. we're at a chevron in hillsboro, no offense to hillsboro but it appears to be the mexican capital of portland, no one speaks english i swear. so we're getting gas and the attendant i normally get is here. he's a big sweet black man, so nice. and when i say sweet i mean 'nice' not all oohh big sweet black man, hottie... no.
'what can i get ya cheif?' he asks me. the kids mock him 'chief' they yell over and over as i try to get them to shut up without being heard from the outside, i can tell it's not working. not to mention the fact that they are calling him ' the big (meaning BIG) black man' kids say the most embarassing things and so the wrong time i swear.
'$20' i say. he walks away and then i hear him talking to the next car over. he laughs as he walks over to me. ok think reuben studdard, he looks just like him.
'did you hear that?' he asks me laughing.
'nope' thank god the kids are quiet now.
'dear god, he was speaking spanish so i in turn spoke it back, and he said -don't speak to me in spanish you're not mexican- christ ok, well then speak english' he says laughing and i laugh.
so ok, the spanish speaking citizens of america (ok hillsboro) don't want to speak english up here, but they don't want us to speak to them in spanish because we're not mexican? lordy, you got me there. i don't know how to respond. LOL
so if ya speak spanish, good for you. but if i speak spanish to you, thank me! at least i'm not screaming english at you like you can't hear, because you don't speak the language. i've seen that, oh you don't speak english, well it's not the same as being deaf. if you speak english louder to someone who doesn't, THEY STILL DON"T UNDERSTAND YOU PROFESSOR!! LOL
another funny story... geesh i jump around alot huh? LOL i'm surprised you all keep reading.
i'm headed into safeway with my then 2 year old son. he had just figured out that men are daddys. so he calls them all 'a daddy' that has become the babysitters boyfriends permanent name, but it comes out as daddy and i keep telling him, man when you're with him it looks a little funky seeing a little white boy call a black man daddy. LOL so anywho... we're walking into safeway and there is a group of chinese men standing next to the door. i'm trying to get a cart and keep the three kids from all running in different directions when rylen (he was 2) heads over to the chinese (ok they could be asian, tiawanese, i dont freaking know so i'm asuming chinese, my bad) so he walks over to them and yells 'is that my daddy?' oh christ. the men all look up at me like i'm completely wacked. 'ah nuthing better than a boy searching for his father' i say to them with a straight face. i'm not sure they spoke english but they all laughed like i was crazy so i winked and walked away. aahhh well it was funny to me...
i'm done... what was i talking about when i started this post? my day or something, i dunno i got sidetracked.. i daydream alot, so sue me... LOL you're the one who reads it, and i do appreciate it!! :)
