Sad

After an absolutly wonderful weekend.. he's leaving again to go back to Minneapolis.. the weekend was fantastic though!

Homecoming!

Guess who's coming home! Guess who's coming home! Somebody's a little excited!!! ;) - no, I am just in love, that's all!

Weirdo Hippie Wants to Tell me About my Roots!

!!!!!!

Oh the insane people that come to the Hessler Street Fair! Liz and I sold out jewelry there over the weekend, not so bad. I sold maybe 18 pieces.. made a fair buck or two.. and the whole event went pretty well.. Trigo even eventually stopped trying to attack and eat me! What an accomplishment!

And out of nowhere... the stupid hippie Hare Krishnas swooped down and rained on my parade! Where the hell do these guys come from???!!! Weirdo ex-hippies! Worse of all, they all kinda would check me out and eyeball me because I am indian.. so! And you can't miss these people.. yelling on the tabla, chanting Krishna's name... and tattoos over all of their body parts! My Gods on their bodies.. I was already semi-irritated.. way to make Hindus look psycho and cult like!
This one guy was the worst. He was trying to give me some flyers about some event they were going to have at Public Square.. and when I said that I wasn't interested.. he kept pressing. And I finally told him that my family and I already go to another hindu organization and that we weren't interested. And after this, the fucking moron flipped on me! He accused me of getting away from my roots.. I was shocked, a white idiot loser was accusing me of getting away from my roots??!!! Sorry buddy, I don't believe hinduism started in Europe.. then he actually had the audacity to ask me if I have ever even been to India... oooooo that made my blood boil! I wanted to hit him so hard. But I refrained and said yes I have. And on top of all that, he accused me of "fleeing" India to come to America!

I was so insulted so so insulted! But I didn't stoop to his level.. I gave back his flyers and cooly told him I was not interested in anything he had to say at this point.. later his friend came back and apologized and told me that the guy was very "fixed".. whatever the hell that's supposed to mean...

I still get pissed off when I think about that fucking asshole ... I hope Shiva strikes him down! Either way, I handled it better than I normally do when people insult me to my core!

Only in Cleveland!

The first time this happened to me, I was laughing so hard.. I couldn't believe it happened.... and then it happened again, and I was thinking, damn! Cleveland is broke!

This guy approached me last weekend when I was walking to Spy Bar and asked me for change, I apologized and told him that I didn't have any... as I was walking away, he yelled out and asked me for my phone number!!??!!! I couldn't believe it, it was so so so funny.. what motivation do I have as a woman to give him my phone number after he's going to ask me for money.. AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN LATER IN THE WEEK!

Harry Pothead... I mean Potter comes out soon!

I can remember so diligently waiting the arrival for Harry Potter book 4 like... god five years ago! And then book 5 in summer of 2001... and I mean anticipating, on the edge of my chair.. I was excited! But then, book 5 was disappointing to me. So disappointing in fact that I only read it one time through.. the others ones I would read and reread... similar to the way I would read and reread books when I was a child. (I don't do them with "adult" books that I read)... however, I decided to start reading book 5 again last week in order to remember and catch up with what's going on in Harry Potter, after all, details are extremely important! And seeing that I hadn't read it in 3 years, I definitely was rusty. Although book 1-4 I remember VERY well, book 5 just didn't stick. I didn't like it the first time through, thought it was stupid and lame...

But ho ho! The difference 3 years make. I can't even put it down anymore! I was waiting for a friend yesterday in the car for about 10 minutes, sure enough I started reading it again... Going to work is agonizing because all I want to do is finish the book....

And so I am proud to say, I am once again wildly antiscipating Harry Potter Book 6!!!

Asshole at the Theater... Cleveland is full of them!

So notice the similarity of titles between this post and the previous one??!! It's becuase Cleveland is full of morons and assholes! I went to see an amazing movie last night, (Crash, you all have to see it). And we're having a jolly good time, laughing at the funny parts, remarking on the silly parts, and getting angry at the rascist parts... naturally... enjoying a movie we ALL payed to see!

And out of nowhere swopps the defender of movie theaters! This self-righteous idiot who works at the theaters walks around to everyone there to tell them to be quiet. This jerk had the audacity to do this, EVEN THOUGH NO ONE HAD COMPLAINED! Oooooo... he made me so mad! Walking around, as if he were the babysitter or the guardian of the golden theater rules!

Funny... because later, it seemed that some of the people were drinking in the back of the theater.. moron!

The movie was FANTASTIC though.. honestly, a great combination of reality, humor, drama.. it was like an independent film that wasn't boring! The movie was essentially about racial tensions, stereotypes and discrimination, set in LA. However, it was deeper than that. It was really about the essence and definition of what it means to be a man, a real man or woman living within the liminations of race. For example, the rich black man who was forced to endure his wife being felt up by a white rascist cop. Did he lose his manhood because he did nothing after that? Is it wrong to not react violently?

Although, I sincerely felt that Sandra Bullock's little silioquoy at the end summarized rascism best. She said, "I wake up angry every morning". I am angry at the gardner, the housekeeper, the mailman... everyone. And that truly is rascism, not being a Klu Klux Klan member, but simply being irrational emotionally, and acting upon that.

GREAT movie, go see it!

Asshole at the Hotel

I went to see a friend at her hotel this morning before I came to work. I drove up to it, and amazingly enough, there were a ton of parking spaces right in front of the hotel! Score! (so I thought..) After I parked and put money in the meter, this hotel attendant comes out and tells me that I need to move my car.. and I ask why. And he says because I am in the middle of two spots, and apparently he sees a lot of people getting tickets that way........ so I move it.

So tell me why 30 minutes later, after meeting my friend, I have a parking ticket??!!! Apparently the street signs prohibit parking there from 7-9:30am... if that asshole went through all that trouble to tell me that I parked in two spots, why couldn't he tell me that I was parked in a restricted area until 9:30???!!!!!

Cleveland sucks, this city is full of complete assholes! And now I have ANOTHER ticket! May has not been a good month for tickets.

Freezing!

It's so so so cold at work today!
I am wearing jeans AND and long sleeved shirt, and I am shaking!!!!

I JUST DON"T GET IT!

So there's this guy, and ALL the girls are friends with him! But he's so crummy, seriously, a pretty crummy guy. And yet, they still flock to him. I don't get it.. and I mean, he's done some seriously shady things... shady like a fuckin forrest. But all the girls still talk to him, hang out with him, drink with him.. man o man.. I learn my lesson, believe me. But no one else does. On top of that.. he's not cute... no way man... I think he uses people.. psychology! Fucks with their minds.. with his money, and chubby belly!

Ethics! Blog vs. Friendship

Last night at the cruise started great... I was wining and dining.. and gambling.. and then chaos!!!!!!! BUT! Writing about it would be wrong, wrong wrong wrong!

So, I'll post another entry about the Good Times Cruise Later... but, this is what Liz had on her profile this morning after the cruise, which summarizes the experience perfectly:

The cruise was cool... except half the people there were acting like high school graduates instead of college graduates... and Case students' obvious lack of style was demonstrated by the significant portion of people who wore tapered jeans and fleece to a dinner cruise. Ah, the legend lives on.

I also won a free senior week shirt! Coolio!

...working...

at work, with nothing to do... been sitting here at my desk since I got here... with nothing to do... already spent an hour and a half reading news on the internet, checking the weather (twice)...emailing... man, what am I going to do??? ... I already read all of the news for today!....

bored

bored enough to write this blog!

Stupid Blogger

I wrote a nice post Sunday night... and the stupid blogging people didn't post it... and now it's lost in the internet oblivion!

Mother's Day Mayhem

It is interesting to note that my mother's day is always unique compared to other people's calm and serene days :) I always go to Chinmaya Mission for Mother's Day celebration, and this year is no different.. Mother's Day at Chinmaya Mission is like a zoo, there are people and festivities everywhere! From 10-12 they make all of the children and mothers cram into this small hall. For two hours we are subject to have to listen to 5 year olds give speeches about why they love their mothers. It always ends up being a speech about loving a mother who cooks and cleans for you... how sexist :) And then after 12, they start the mother's day picnic! Where the idea is that the fathers cook for the mothers and children in a reversal of roles. And this is where the madness begins.. there are usually TONS of people who come. We always end up having to park in a grassy lot, tons of children running around everywhere. And then the weather doesn't always cooperate. One year it was deadly hot, the other year it wouldn't stop pouring. But that doesn't stop the people coming for free food and really bad speeches!

Happy Mothers Day!

Motocycles and Bartending in my Future??!!

...Hmm... some interesting ideas and prospects for the summer. BF's apartment in Minneapolis is literally a five minute walk from a Bartending School. And in the month of May, you pay $295 (a discount of $200) and can sign up for the course. Best of all, you can take the classes whenever you want, for up to 25-30 hrs... and then you're a real and genuine bartender! How awesome.. I could take the classes when I visit BFin Minneapolis. It would be something fun that we could take together. And then I will make better drinks that people won't hate me for.. maybe they'll actually drink them!

The second cool prospect that has popped up is the idea of taking Motorcycle classes! My boss is totally into them and told me that she would totally support me.. even lend me her helmet! The classes are only $25, and you just take it over a weekend, and you're all set to go. They even lend you bikes to learn off of. That's so cool... and a little scary and thrilling...

In just a span of 2 months, I may be a motorcyclist/bartender/over all, pretty cool girl!... and then in 3 months, I will most likely lock myself into my apartment for the next 4 years... for a period of life called medical school...

The First Day After Parting

Well, yesterday we parted ways at the Minneapolis airport... it was really sad. Having to see his chocolate head turn around the corner, broke my heart. As I was boarding the plane to go to Cleveland (after an annoying lay over in Atlanta), I kept getting visions in my head of yelling, "WAIT! I cannot leave my love!" And then sprinting down the plane aisle, busting through the door, as all the passengers cheer on my love! Yea! You go girl!! And then I would run to his terminal and say, "forget medical school, forget the world, lets run away to Paris!" ...

I wish...

Last night was hard. I slept at BF's apartment, and I woke up around 5:30 in the morning... and was just sad. He's not here, his warm body isn't next to mine.. it's just me and the cold blankets. It was awful..

How do you let go of someone so amazing? we both know that we will make it, but I hope that this time apart doesn't hurt us.. especially him. I've already hurt and disappointed him multiple times, I don't want to keep doing that.

BUT! On a brighter note, he's coming to visit me in Cleveland during Memorial Day Weekend! Whooppiie! That'll be great.. a real nice time together. And then I will book a flight to visit him in early June, and then he can hopefully come in late June, and I will go in July.. etc etc.. hopefully the time will just fly by!

And everyday I will say the same thing, we're one day closer to being together again...
