LOL Since Sarah posted her baby pic, I figured I would post mine too! Please ignore the fact that I'm probably almost 2 years old in these pictures and I have no hair! My hair didn't really grow out until I was about 4 years old! hahaha.



Apparently, I always loved candy ;)

You get a bonus because I just had to point out: LOOK AT THOSE FLOORS! You can tell that house was built in the 80's ;)



I want to see everyone else's baby pics too! Post post post! =)

Hmm...

Is it weird that I get thrown off whenever a guy walks by/is close to me and is wearing the same cologne as my ex-boyfriend? It's definitely not an unpleasant smell, I must admit.

Of course I get frustrated after I smell it because everything that reminds me of him pisses me off ... (let's just say we had a really REALLY messy break-up).

Sorry, this one was extremely random.

School-yard Politics = Life Politics?

I don't know whether to be depressed or extremely amused that school-yard politics is still ver much present in my dad's work environment which is filled with 40-60 year old men.

We were sitting having lunch and my dad says to my mom: "I think my lunch break today will be a good one because hopefully that annoying Delos-Reyes isn't there." (My dad works from 4pm-12am)

So my mom asked why and my dad replied, "He's annoying and talks too much. Robert and I don't talk to him. He sits and eats by himself. Even the white guys don't talk to him, they say he's a weirdo and I tell them "that's just what he is.""

I can't help but feel really bad for this guy! I remember always feeling bad for the people who ate their lunch by themselves during elementary, junior high, and high school; and everyone treated them as social pariahs. It's pretty sad.

Although, I can't help but feel amused that even when you're middle-aged/close-to-retirement, these politics from the days of primary school still exist. It's as if the maturity level didn't go up as the aging process continued steadily.

Of course, if someone really is annoying and no one can stand them, I can't criticize too heavily because I know exactly how it is to be around someone that is unbelievaly irritating.

Hmm ...

So really, is this just an example of how school-yard politics equates to life-long politics? How judgments and habits formed at such a young age transcend through the years to appear in the work environment? They say we learn a lot of basic life requirements in those younger ages - who knew it would be to this extent?

Insensitive.

This is a fairly old song but it's been stuck in my head for the past few days so I thought I'd share. I hope you like it as much as I do.

"Oh, you probably won’t remember me, it’s probably ancient history: I’m one of the chosen few who went ahead and fell for you. I’m out of hope, I’m out of touch, I fell too fast, I feel too much. I thought that you might have some advice to give on how to be insensitive.

I really should have known by the time you drove me home, by the vagueness in your eyes, your casual good-byes. By the chill in your embrace, the expression on your face that told me: Maybe you might have some advice to give on how to be insensitive."

Reality Check II

And I'm lying to myself,
Letting myself believe
That anything could come of this.
