this weeks show

Can i be a professional people watcher when i grow up? I know that sounds bad i dont really want to stalk anyone or anything stupid like that but people have hobbies like bird watching, is it wrong to want to watch people? they are way more interesting then birds.

The show i am at this week is all Choir teachers and Orchestra teachers. They are poor people who love music but dont care to pay for tshirts that they want. So they revert to harrasing me to lower my prices for a teacher. EVERYONE IS A TEACHER HERE!!! No i will not give you a shirt for 5$ go buy a piece of crap shirt over at "the other place". There is always "the other place" that has great shirts for 5$, why cant i be like those guys? Because my shirts arent going to shrink to the size of a coke can after you wash them and the print doesnt fall off, thats why. In the end they always end up buying the shirt anyways. They may wait till the last second but they always buy it.

I love shows in San Antonio. There is this restaurant that i love to eat at call the coreys cafe. Its a mexican/american joint not tex-mex but mexican american, the chips are different from anything you have ever eaten. they are flaky and the sause is sooooo good. Every meal i have ever had there was the best meal of my life and at the end of your meal they give you are white chocolate tamale. Its wrappend in a corn husk like a normal tamale but instead of masa and beef brains is white chocolate goodness that just completes the meal. I get really worked up when i think of the place and i am about to go eat there so i am exited.

Today there was this kid who was walking around with a magic eightball. He had a look of need on his face, the kind of look that you used to get when you saw the toy you had wanted for weeks at the store, and he shook the eightball and then would look at it, shake it up and look at it. I couldnt hear what he was saying till he got a little closer.

I want to be big enough to lift my house up! I want to be big enough to lift my house up! Dad why does it always say this? Dad! Dad!

His dad never looked at him because he was lost in conversation with someone else. So I asked him to give it to me because i noticed that the message was stuck. It was stuck on "Not Likely". LOL poor kid. I fixed it for him and he soon liked the answer he was gettingmuch better.

That kid and i had alot in common because i want to be as big as a house when i grow up too.

I dont know whats been up latley but i really havent felt like writting. Most of the time i have things i really want ot write down, ideas and stories but when i get to a computer i forget them and i end up getting frustrated because i know what i wanted to write was good. I would start to write but then just stop reread and move on to other things.

I saw Lady in the water the other day and really liked it. Its not the intense horror movie that everyone thought it was gonig to be. It was just a good story takes place in hotel and is about the crazy event that happend to a man who had lost hope. The story covered a rollicoaster of emotions and atmosphere. One minute you are laughing the next you are scared and then sad. I enjoyed it. Its not a movie i am going to watch over and over again but it did have some quoteable lines in it so i think i will watch it again (seeing as i can never rember good lines the first time i see a movie). The papers and online writers are really ripping this movie. I dont know what they were expecting when they went into the movie but i guess it was something way different.

I am currently writing a short story in my head..ill put it on here tomorrow.

Guys share facts and women share feelings

This week, my dad, gibbs (big thanks for coming along) and myself all left on tuesday morning to head up to arlington for this years Texas Girls Coaches Ass.. This show is by far the most annoying show of the year that i do. I worked 40 hours in 3 days and all 40 hours was spent on my feet.

It was fun to have kevin come along though and see what i do on the road. My job is not hard, I stand and pass out shirt that people point to. At some shows i do alot of explaining how much shirts cost and all that crap but at this show there are so many other printers there that i just focus on selling shirts.

While me and kevin were driving to the softball game my favorite talk radio station in arlington was playing 100.3 i think. Somewhere around there. The preacher was talking about how Guys share facts and women share feelings. I love little tibits of wisdom like this. Yes, its completely obvious but i didnt pay attention to it before. I replayed ever conversation i could remember that i had had with a women that had something to do with "how does my hair look?" or "what do you think of my dress?" It was a fun two minutes of reminising. I havent dated in forever and i have a horrible memory so it didnt take long to run out of memories.

There were a bunch of other funny things that happend but right now i cant remember those either so think i am going to wrap things up. The trip was tiring and i am off to take a nap on this very hot texas friday.

I lost all of my favorites!!!

When the servers went down at work last week i lost all of my e-mails and my favorites in my roaming profile. Losing e-mails is rough because I have to contact everyone i think might have e-mailed me and hope i got all of them. I am still getting calls where people are mad because i did not answer their e-mail, sorry.

Not having my favorites list really hurts though because i really liked all the sites i had collected. There were at least 5 blogs that i was reading ever day and now i have lost them. I dont remember their names and it feels wierd not being able to read them. Its like i talked to them every day and then next thing you know they up and moved!! I guess i can just spend the next couple of days looking for them again.

Also rachel desiced she did want to post anymore. If you read this rachel know that i am very sad.

Quick Catchup

Its been awhile since my last post. There were a few times since then that I sat down and wrote stuff but after about 10 mins of writing I decided I didn't want to write anymore and just cleared what I had written. Sometimes I just done feel like it.

I guess I should start off where I left off on my last post. The last two days of the NY trip were pretty uneventful compared to what we had done before. We didn't go see any more shows or anything we just walked around and shopped. The flight home was quick because France was playing and I sat next to a very interesting man who told me all kinds of weird facts about himself. He was a computer nerd so of course we talked all about computers but this guy was on a way high level of nerd then me. I was in awe. YOU BUILD THE CHIPS? That's just crazy!!

Since then I worked three days that just seemed to fly by because I was in the server room the whole time trying to fix our network. I didn't set up our network so it was very difficult to fix what I didn't set up. In the end I got everything working but if someone who knew about networks were to walk in and look at how I had set it up they would probably laugh and then remark about how I should stay in sales. I enjoy sales much more then I ever would IT. Computers just don't make sense.

I spent Sunday-Tuesday at Kats lakehouse. This was the first time I had ever played on a lake before. I usually go and just fish and next time I go to kats that's exactly what I am going to do. I will bring my fishing gear and go to town while everyone is recovering in the morning.

I am really glad I made it out this time. Every other time I have been invited I have something come up or I am out of town. I had a blast but man is it exhausting. 4 min of tubing and I feel like I spent hours at the gym. My arms are on fire.

Overall it was a great vacation and I am spent. It actually feels good to be back at work.

Here is a little advice to any women who might read this. If you are currently in a relationship with a guy and are talking to a friend on the phone about that relationship and you while you are talking you say something like "oh he is not that bad I just tell you all the bad things" or "I know it sounds stupid when I say this but its really just too hard to explain". You are just justifying either dating a jerk or your situation really is that stupid. I tried to explain this to a friend last night but I apparently just couldn't see what she was talking about. NO, I see it perfectly from the outside with no bias other then I am your friend and want what is best for you. Its you who are stupid and continuously make shitty decisions that make your life more hectic. So to all the girls who read this. Listen to your friends when they tell you something sounds wrong or the guy really is a freaking idiot. You don't have to go all crazy and dump him or anything, no one is perfect but don't sit there and tell me what and angel he is for buying you crap.
