I can't believe that it's already almost July! The year is half way over already! Where did it go?! It's been quite a year so far and I know that it's not gonna be slowin' down any time soon, but fortunately, things seem to be looking up and this post will be on the positive tip!
The biggest news of the moment is that we finally got our apt in Waikiki!!! I never updated on the situation with NR, but since my last rant about him, things have calmed down and we've been able to see each others perspectives, BUT it's almost impossible to find a resolution with someone who is so irrational. NR is such an emotional rollercoaster that it's hard to deal with him. He finally came to an understanding that he can't do everything with us every moment and we came to the understanding that he's out here all by himself and that we need to be more considerate, but I guess by trying to show him that he needs to be more independent and make some friends we shut him out and I guess tough love doesn't really work with him. After the whole reconciliation thing, I thought things would get better, which they did, but not completely. NR when he is sober is slightly rational... when he is a little tipsy he is slightly entertaining.... and when he is full on, dead ass drunk he is a creepy, emotionally unstable ticking timebomb! Tick, Tick... BOOM! A typical night with NR and Mitch drinking starts out like you would imagine any binge drinking frat party, minus the skanky hoes and keg stands, and ends up hours later with NR stomping off like an elephant to his room and slamming the door behind him b/c of something Mitch said or did to light the fuse to his timebomb.
I've said this before, NR is a genuinely nice person, but I think due to his arrested development and inability to connect with the real world, I'm over him. I'm so sick of his creepy nature and his addiction to mac 'n cheese. About a month or so ago he had a breakdown with Mitch and confessed to him that he was deciding to move back to Georgia...
****Excuse me while I do my happy dance!!!***
and he was actually apologizing because he felt that he was leaving us hanging and felt bad to spring this on us... little did he know that we have been looking for one bedroom apts in Waiks for months!!! But he doesn't need to know that... So as things have turned out, Mitch, Levi and I got our apt in Waiks and now NR is not sure if he's going to move back to Georgia b/c he can't get his job back and so I don't know if he was hoping to live with us again (who knows why he would even want to) but he sure pitched a fit when we told him we were looking at apts the other day. Crazy I tell ya!
But enough of him... our new apt is in the heart of Waikiki and is a studio! It's alot smaller than I wanted, but I like it! It's right next to Food Pantry which is awesome because Beard Papa's is in Food Pantry and they have bomb cream puffs! It's a couple of blocks away from my job so I can walk to work without having to worry about leaving an hour before and having to find parking and using up all my gas! Gas is $4.33 over here and going up every day! So I won't have to worry about any car issues and we can walk to wherever we wanna go and I won't have to worry about DUI's for once... and I think that this is just what we need to eleviate some unnecessary stress. One thing that the apt doesn't have that I've never been without is a bathtub! I take at least one bath a day so I don't know how I'll live without one, but I'm sure I'll manage. Maybe by the time our lease is up there we'll get a bigger place with a tub, but we'll see how it goes.
***Cut to me shaking like a saltshaker in a dark corner going through tub withdrawal***
So my latest obsession these days is BOOZE CRUISE!!! You go out on a boat and you sail around Waiks/Diamond Head and it's all you can drink!!! And you might see sea turtles, dolphins and flying fish!!! I've been on two cruises so far and I've seen sea turtles and dolphins, but haven't seen the flying fish yet... but yeah, you drink as much as you want and it's super relaxing and the best part is that it's only $25!!! The first time I went, I went with my besties Liz and Michelle and then I went again this past Tuesday with Liz and Mitch and it's so much fun! My justification for going every chance I get is that I can't afford to not go! I finally got to meet Mitch's friend from way back in the day when they both lived in Colorado, Josh, but I met him AFTER the cruise so I was a bit drunk and done so maybe it wasn't the best first impression and I know it's lame to use being drunk as an excuse for anything, but it's all I got! Love you Josh!
What's next... I still haven't gotten my car back from the shop since my accident... well, I did get it yesterday, but it's still making a funny whistling sound so we had to take it back today so I'm still in my rental which is a gas guzzling whore, but hopefully I'll get my baby back soon.
Work has been going okay. Nothing too exciting, but we did have about 40,000 kids in town for a soccer tournament so that was cool, but they left this week so things are back to normal I guess. As always, management is insane as ever and more and more ppl have quit, but I'm not complaining because that just means bigger sections and more shifts for me! I'm seeing dolla signs! Ok not really.
The fourth of July is right around the corner and Nina and Haley were supposed to be coming, but it got postponed so maybe they'll be here in September. I think they should come for Christmas time, but I guess that's not too realistic! he he I really wanna spend Christmas at the beach, opening my presents and sipping on a Lava Flow! Mitch will be working all day from 8am-midnight at Bayfest so I'm sure I'll be spending some time down there on the fourth, but otherwise I don't know what I'm doing. Probably end up on a booze cruise! (if i'm lucky)
So that's my "massive update" for the moment... I leave you with this vid I found on youtube of everyone's favorite cokewhore... Lindsay Lesbohan!!!

So I decided to make this blog into an entertainment blog while still keeping it ALL ABOUT ME! So here's my first entertainment post!
So first up I wanted to start with my latest obsession on my wishl list!
I present you with the i2 Segway!!! How hot is that? The i2 runs on electricity and you just plug it in the wall when you're not using it and has a pretty good battery runtime so it's definitely something for me to dream about! Now, honestly, I can't picture myself flying all around Waikiki on one of these, but maybe once we move down to Waiks because Mitch will be selling his car and using mine, so who knows! Also, it is handicapable so there's no way to fall off and it's legal to use it on sidewalks! I wonder if you can get a DUI on one of these? Badass!
Next up, Audrina Patridge (from The Hills) made her film debut in the straight to DVD film, Into the Blue 2: The Reef, which will be released in about a year! The reason why I bring you this info isn't because I'm a super fan of Audrina, (Unless you're talking about the recent feud b/w her and Lauren Condrad... in this case... GO TEAM AUDRINA! LC is such a lez and LO is so her top) but more so because they filmed here in Oahu! They recently shot a 2 day scene right on Waikiki Beach! And one of my friends here, Dominique, and her hubby were extras in the film! Hopefully we'll be able to spot her in the movie when it comes out!
Also filmed recently in Waikiki was Heather Locklear for her new movie Flirting With Forty and Heather actually came into eat at P.F. Changs in Waikiki! Unfortunately I wasn't working that day, but it's still cool to have celebs come in! (Apparently Sharon Stone came in that same week... where was I?!) 
Also starring in the film w/ Locklear is the often shirtless Robert Buckley (from LIPSTICK JUNGLE) and the main reason why I'll be watching this movie! But Heather is looking pretty good too... so kudos to cougars!
And last of local news, Mariah Carey and Nick Canon are staying at the Kahala Resort right here in Oahu while she films the music video for her third single, I'll Be Loving You Long Time" off her album E=MC2. MC also makes a cameo in the new Adam Sandler movie ZOHAN and plays an exaggerated version of herself and is said to do an impressive job! MC will be spending some down time here while her and Canon extend their honeymoon! I was hoping that I would see them out and about in Waiks, but I'm guessing that since they're on their honeymoon, the only place they'll be is their hotel room. Guess I'll put my stalker equipment away for the time being. Make them babies MC!
Jessica Simpson has taken a turn in her music "career" (if you can call it that) and has turned to country music as a last effort before giving up! And surprisingly, it's not half bad! I actually love her new song "Come On Over" and her voice does well with Country music! I was apprehensive at giving it a listen because I thought that she would sound very poser-ish and not believable, but I guess if she can do it for Dukes of Hazzard she can do it to pay the bills! Download her song and give it a try!
Jessica Simpson - Come On Over
And lastly, I leave you with the new music video from Latina group, Prima J! The "Rock Star" duo released their new video for their song "Corazon ~You're Not Alone~" and I absolutely love this song! They also did a Spanish remake of Alicia Keys' song "No One" and they did a really good job! If I find the mp3 for their songs I'll post them up here!

I wish the real world would just stop hasslin' me....
I have made the decision to start the month of June off on a positive note, despite all of the bags of poop life has thrown at me in the past weeks.
For starters, our apt in Atlanta has sent me to the creditors bureau because they claim that we didn't pay our last months rent AND have charged us $400 for miscellaneous fees that they claim we owe. As far as the rent issue, I think I would have noticed if I had an extra $600 in my bank unaccounted for. So settling that issue is easy enough because my bank actually has a copy of the check I paid with so just print that up and send it to them, but seriously... who does that? Who sends someone to the creditors bureau saying they didn't pay their rent when it's all but TOO OBVIOUS that it was paid? Only happens to me.
Changs has also proven to be alot of unnecessary drama, but what would Changs be like without the drama? The way that they treat their employees is so insane! If Joseph Stalin were ever a restaurant manager, he would most likely find most satisfaction working at Changs. The managers analyze every little thing you do and actually rank all of the servers NOT based on performance, but based on how much they can suck up. Now don't get me wrong, I can suck with the best of them, but it's a whole 'nother world in there.
Every week we have a different class for training. They're all "optional" but if you don't go to them, the next week your whole schedule will be horrible. The only reason they say they're optional is so they can get away with not allowing you to clock in for them. If you release your shifts, they'll mess with your schedule. They monitor all of your sales based on liquor/wine/bottled water and if you don't hit a certain amount of sales, they'll give you horrible sections. There's just so many ways that they can mess with you.
So far my schedule and my sections have stayed consistent, but who knows when I'm going to crush the eggshells they expect me to be walking on. Like I said, I can suck up to them while still maintaining dignity, but once they start treating me like a child, I will kick and scream and will probably end up needing a diaper. Ok... except for that last part, but you get the picture.
Next up, random bills have accrued and everything seems to attack all at once. Isn't that how it always works? Things could be better, but they could definitely be alot worse too. Mitch recently became a manager and along with that great promotion comes a great paycut. Particularly because Mitch is amazing at sales and being a manager, the options for anything but salary are slim. I just have to keep thinking that in order for him to take a step forward, he has to take a step back, but in the end it will all be worth it.
Fortunately, it doesn't take much to make me happy and little things more than make up for said bags of poop. *Shakes fist in air at life!!!*
Some of the things that bring me much happiness recently are:
-Mariah Carey's E=MC2! This album is amazing. Every song is a "smash hit!" AND MC is gonna be in Hawaii to shoot her new music video for "I'll Be Loving You Long Time" but I'm not sure if she's gonna be in Oahu or not... *Crosses Fingers*
-Sex and the City! The sex, the city, the puns... what more could I ask for? Maybe Cosmos... next time!
-The Pussycat Doll's new song "When I Grow Up" I've watched this video so many times and the song stays in constant rotation 24/7! So Hot! I swear, these Pussycats are like trannies on crack! Fierce. Tranny. Hot. Mess.
So those are just three of the many little things that make this boy happy and as for the bigger things in life that constantly keep me on cloud 9 are, of course, Mitch, Levi & Hawaii! I really need to start taking more pictures and now that I've learned how to post pictures, I'll be putting up alot more and making this bleek blog a little more festive. Please believe me!
