so alia and i cancelled our lunch plans with mr. ben today. reasons. he wants to go now. he invited his friend and he wants to go to a place that neither me nor alia wants to go to. panera. granted. i adore panera, but neither of us are in the mood for it. so. we cancelled our little plannies. BUT monday. we are going to lunch with him. at 1230. just me alia and him. at a place of our choice. we all agreed. so it should be good. so i think now, alia, lisa and i are going to pearl street.
last night i watched loved cruise on FOX. it wasn't as bad as i thought it might be. all i can think to myself is "you hurt people.... maliciously". i mean, granted, the theme of the show is lame as hell. but it passed the time. for an hour anyway. and an hour before that i was watching spongebob squarepants and the remainder of river phoenix on e! true hollywood story. what would i even do without e! true hollywood story? i think i might die. that and behind the music. i'm such an addict, it's not even funny. oh well.
what else? oh. michael jackson coming back to the nba. i did want to touch on this for a second. i usta be a big basketball fan when i was younger. but i never liked michael jordan, cause well, he gets all the breaks. it drives me nuts. when he retired and came back the first time, i was pissed. you retire you don't come back. that's it. ya know? and then he retired again... and now he wants to come back again. yet i'm not nearly as pissed. why? cause he's donating his salary to the september 11th fund. which... is great, i think. so i suppose that i am welcoming him back to the nba. only for this reason.
it's amazing to see all these people come out and help each other. to donate blood. money. and time. normally everyone is "too busy" or is "too poor" or something to not help out. and it really is unfortunate to have a tragedy to bring people together. granted, i fall into this group as well. i give blood on a regular basis, every 2 months or so. but i rarely come out of my shell and donate money or time. i still need to make my financial donation.
anyway. what else? anything? i feel like i meant to type about something else, but i guess i don't need to. everyone is in a meeting right now... that's why i feel okay typing out this entry. cause no one will be walking behind me wondering what the hell i'm doing. this place has changed so much since i first started. everything was so care free. get your work done, you're fine. now everything seems to be monitored. ugh. it's just annoying.
eric j. that works on our team.... his mother died suddenly yesterday. she had a freak heart attack when she was out running. i guess she was healthy and in shape. only 48 years old. it's kinda scary to think that these things happen. God bless him and his mother...
