Fighting the wrong battle

You know, I beginning to think that we, as Americans are going after the wrong people (well that's obvious with this war, but just hear me out...). Have you noticed how much the Chinese have been in the news lately for shipping us bad meat, toys, doggy biscuits, etc? I honestly believe that China is going to take us out and no one even see it coming. I mean nowadays you can't even brush your teeth without worrying that something is 'in' your paste. The whole Mattel thing really got me thinking because I have children. My thought process was "hmm...if they poison the young kids, who will be left to run the US in 20 years?" Far fetched? Sure it is, but it still makes me go hmmm... Do I think it's a huge coincidence that most of the defective (for lack of a better word) comes from China? Not really...There are some really bad people in the world (not confirming that's what I think of the Chinese) and I'm sure SOMEBODY has a motive. I wouldn't be surprised if we woke up one day and there was a bio-terror alert flashing across my tv screen on account of some development in China that can kill 1000 Americans in 2 minutes. (I watch too much 24...) Speaking of 24, I think THEY are on to something too. Have you noticed that they are focusing on the Chinese and their potential 'take down' of the US? I sure hope we have a real life Jack Bauer somewhere just in case...cause if not, we're all screwed. MAJORLY even. At any rate this is all just one of my many conspiracy theories which probably isn't true...but hey. LOL

So anyway, I'm driving to the train station the other morning when I notice a new 'business' in the West End area. I'm not surprised it's a hair salon, but what DOES surprise me is the damn name of the salon. It's called "Delores" hair weeving (I changed the name to protect the owner who obviously can't spell worth a damn...even with the free spell check capabilities out there) complete with a sign that says "Stop here for all your hair weeving needs." Now, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe...JUST maybe they meant to spell it that way for marketing and advertising reasons to reach the 'clientele' of the area. (I mean b/c it's no surprise that a lot of the people walking around the West End aren't the most literate people in the world) Maybe their thought process was like "If they can sound it out...they'll come" *shrug*
Well I have a TON of work to do...and a class at 11 so I'll be back...one day. LOL

G'Day folks!

So umm yeah...

It's been a few weeks since I've blogged and it's mainly b/c I just haven't had time. (Or no...I just haven't MADE time, it's not like I've been doing much of anything anyhow) You know how I'm always 'wondering' things about people? Well umm yeah today I started to wonder just what makes people do the things they do. For example, what makes someone come stand DIRECTLY in front of you on the train platform? What do they think you're standing there for...the rapture? I mean aren't we ALL standing there waiting on the same result...a train? What makes them think "Ok I'll come stand right in front of her even though she was there first and waiting on the same train I am?" Sheesh :-/

Another thing... what makes people damn near run you over to get to the elevator? I mean I (stress I) was the one who pushed the call button in the first place...shouldn't I (stress I) have first dibs on getting on the elevator. I mean... Sheesh :-/

Oh...while we're on the subject of elevators. What makes people stand DIRECTLY in front of the door(s) and wait? Does it not cross their mind that "Hmmm, there MAY be someone actually getting OFF this thing before I get on?" I think I may just scream if I get plowed over by some nitwit trying to get on before I can get off. Sheesh :-/

(This is a funny one...) I remember one morning, I was so deep in thought that I got ON the elevator and never pushed a button. I had no idea I wasn't moving until I heard "DING" and the doors opened only to reveal the lobby of my building. To make matters worse, two men got on and one said "Just riding the elevator huh?" I wanted to dissolve right then and there. LMAO!

So, what's been going on in Lady Doss' world over the last few weeks? A lot! Church has had me extremely busy (being that I'm on the praise and worship team) and there have been weeks where I had to pull 5 day shifts at the house of the Lord. Now, don't get me wrong, I love me some Jesus and I thank God for the gift he gave to me, but woosah sometimes...WOOsah! I was going to participate in the dance ministry but I decided not to for two reasons. The most important being, I just didn't want to over do it. I needed to cut something out so I let that one go. Secondly, I went to one rehearsal and had the gas face the whole time. NOT b/c of the talent level but b/c I just couldn't deal with all the talking, giggling, playing, etc. I could see if these were pre teens but these were GROWN women! (It may also have to do with the fact that I can be rather uptight, but hey...it's me! Love it or hate it...) With that being said...I need to take those $50 shoes I got for dance BACK! OH yeah! School starts on my 25th birthday...and for some reason that's symbolic for me. Most say 25 starts a new chapter of life and how fitting that I start classes on that day as well. I'm so determined to get that 4.0 I can't stand it! Pray for me people...

I would go on, but I decided that I was actually going to work today b/c I want to take the day off tomorrow. (Gotta have the house spotless for mother in laws visit) :)

G'day folks!
